Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Extra: The Truth of Zhang Muer

It is desolate outside, probably in early spring, and the earth looks particularly barren and desolate under the warm sunshine. I gently opened the curtain of the sedan chair, but there was no one outside the curtain.

"What's wrong? What about people?" I asked. I thought I must have fallen asleep on the way. "I've arrived." Wang Ma lowered her head and whispered.

I looked at the surrounding environment. It was not like a cemetery, but like a wilderness. What's the matter?" I got off the sedan chair and looked at all this in surprise.

Wang's mother suddenly knelt down and looked at me with a worried face: "Miss, I'm sorry. In fact, it was the master who told me not to say it. Our son... Our son has long been gone!"

What? I was stunned. The man who had been married with me for more than ten years actually died? God, are you kidding me?

"Miss, our master is actually..." Wang's mother stopped talking.

"Wait, I want to figure out one thing, I... I don't understand. Since your son is dead, why do you still marry me back?" I asked.

Wang's mother wiped her tears and said, "Actually, it's not that we're going to marry you. It's your master who wrote a letter to our master, saying please come through the door quickly. It's really inconvenient for a girl who is in chaos."

"Your young master is dead, why did you take me through the door?" I asked.

"Wow!" She replied.

Concise and straightforward, this answer makes me powerless. Widowed? This is ridiculous. I haven't even seen their son, but I want to give him a widow all his life? Isn't this ridiculous?

"So what do you want me to do now?" I held the sedan chair and asked. I already felt the world spinning. If I hadn't been used to the strong wind and waves, I would have fainted at this time.

"That's what the master said. The master said, you're here." She said.

"Why? Why do you only let me stop here?" I asked, and she shook her head. I also regret that she is a subordinate, how can she know so much. How far is Jingzhao from here? I asked her. She did not answer. At this time, a sedan said, "It's early. It's been two days since I came out!" Wang's mother stared at him.

I laughed, and I was calculated by them. Haha," I laughed loudly, as if I were crazy. At this moment, I would rather go crazy or die. Only when I am not awake can I restrain the pain and deep uneasiness in my heart.

I brushed my hair and said, "Ok," I tried to control my laughter and said to her, "Ok. Come on, bring out everything you know."

"That's what the master told me before I came out. I don't know anything else." She looked at me and said. What about bringing me here? Kill me?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"It's useless for her!" At this time, I heard a completely strange voice. I turned around. A bad old man riding a donkey slowly came this way, saying that the bad old man was only about 40 years old, and the two beards on his face wanted people to rush up and pull them off.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Su He, your father-in-law's friend, to take you back to Jingzhao." He said.

Seeing Wang's mother look respectful, it seems that he really often goes in and out of the Sun family. Seeing this, I was released and said unhappily, "What does it mean to bring me here and send me back? I think you are all liars!"

"It's your father-in-law who lied to you, not me!" He said, "What's more, what if I lied to you! Now, he just wants you never to appear in front of him.

"Okull, you can go." He said. I tied up the burden in anger. He got two donkeys from nowhere. I can't ride!" I said. He frowned again, took out a piece of silver from his big pocket and stuffed it into a sedan chairman in front of him. It's not far. I'll pay more." He said to the sedan chairman. The four sedan chairmen came together for discussion, and finally agreed, and Wang's mother helped me get on the sedan chair. Where are you taking me?" I turned around and said to Su He. That's not what you should worry about." He said to me.

"Miss Zhang" Wang's mother suddenly said before I stepped into the sedan chair, "Miss Zhang." She cried. Take good care of yourself and don't forget me!" She cried and turned around.

At this moment, I was stunned. It turned out that I could build a relationship in two days. I looked at her back and shed tears. You too." I said softly, I don't know if she can hear it.

"Ok, don't be your mother-in-law, or it won't be dark." Sue said impatiently, the sedan chair was raised. I think I'm crazy. What should I do?

After sitting in a sedan chair for about a day, we arrived at an unknown town.

Later, he took me to a thick black door. The broken corner of the wall indicates that this place is in disrepair. Maybe the owner is very close to money, right?

"I'm home," Su He said.

"You live in the east wing of the backyard," Su He said. So when will we return to Beijing?" I asked him. He smiled and said, "I just came here and wanted to leave!"

"Is this your home?" He nodded. This is Lao Liu, the housekeeper of the family. Just call him Uncle Liu. At present, there is only Lao Liu's family. His daughter-in-law, Zhou's mother, does some rough work, and a cook and grandson. There is no one else, but I can buy you a little maid in a few days.

I stopped, and he was still chattering all the way. I looked at his footsteps coldly. When the housekeeper Liu saw that I stopped, he hurried over and said, "Please." He said.

"Tight be clear!" I said." What do you mean? Little ancestor!" He said helplessly. I turned around and looked at Uncle Liu with a dull expression. Make it clear when I will go to Jingzhao!" I said.

Su He shook his head, "Let's go! "Say in the room!" He said helplessly.

I followed him into the room and asked bluntly, "When can I go back to Beijing?"

He smiled and said, "What are you going to do in Jingzhao?" I looked at him angrily. Why is this old man so annoying? I said angrily, "I want to go home!"

"Don't you know? Your father-in-law received a hundred taels of silver from me and sold you to me!" He said.

At that time, I only felt as if I had been splashed with cold water. I have become an item in other people's hands, buying and selling it casually? Isn't this ridiculous?

"You..." I cried as I said.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will treat you well. Don't worry, you are my sequel!" Naturally, I won't treat you badly!"

"I don't want to die!" I said coldly and fiercely in exchange for his loud laugh. Look, you have a donkey temper! Go back and rest. I'm tired today and don't want to explain more to you!"

So, I staggered out of the living room. At this time, Lao Liu came over and said, "Please." I was given to the east wing.

I sat alone in the flower hall of the wing without closing the door. Looking at the empty patio outside, the sun was scattered on the ground. The golden, but it was not dazzling, not warm, but comfortable. Slowly, I began to fall into another kind of meditation.

Why was I sold? My father obviously asked me to marry into the Sun family. How could he hurt me? Everything is done by the old man of the Sun family. Since he asked me to help his son be a widow, why did he send this man to send me back to Beijing? No, there is someone lying in here!

I had a cold war, and maybe Su He was lying. I quickly packed my luggage and quickly slipped out of the courtyard door while no one was paying attention.

While there was no one, I slipped onto the street, and soon I regretted my reckless behavior. In the vast sea of people, where can I be accommodated? I don't know. I walk aimlessly. Where should I go? What are you going to do? What should I do? I don't know. I took a deep breath. The sun is good and the sky is blue. So, it's like walking forward.

Suddenly, I rushed to a man behind and hit me fiercely. I rushed forward a few steps, "I'm going to die!" I scolded, but I couldn't tolerate my last word, so I picked up my skirt and rushed forward quickly. That man grabbed my burden! That's the money I want to live!

Suddenly, one hand grabbed me, "Don't chase me, you can't catch up." A voice said calmly. I turned around and it turned out to be Su He!" Why are you here!" I said." Nonsense!" He frowned and said, "I've been following you!" My money!" I said." I can't catch up! Anyway, I don't have much money!" He said.

At this time, he let go of his hand and frowned fiercely, "Let's go!" He said.

This time, he was probably a little angry and stared at me and said, "You have no choice but to believe me now. Go home!" I couldn't speak. He grabbed my hand, put it in my ear, and whispered, "Don't make trouble in the street. Go home and talk!" I obediently followed him into the carriage and was speechless all the way.

Instead of returning to Su He's home in the carriage, he took me back to Jingzhao. After walking for two days and nights in a row, I finally got home.

As soon as my mother saw me, she rushed up. She hugged me and cried bitterly: "Muer, I'm sorry!" I was shocked. Did my mother deliberately send me to the Sun family when she knew the death of the son of the Sun family?

At this time, Su He bowed deeply to my father.

"Teacher, I'm lucky not to humiliate your life!" He said.

My mother hugged me and cried and said to me, "Mu'er, this Mr. Su is your savior! If he hadn't come to tell your father in time that the son of the Sun family had died, we would have been in the dark! Come on, kowtow to him." My mother said.

I looked at him and he smiled at me. Unexpectedly, this faint smile left a deep impression on my heart from then on. I think this man is not bad. He saw my eyes moving and turned his head. But he didn't know that I had this person's place in my heart ever since.

Isn't this tall, strong and rude man the man of my dreams? I think I have more affection for him at this moment. Perhaps that is the legendary love.
