Cheng Chun paused, then smiled shyly and said nothing more.
After a while, the Wang family's wife came back in a fierce manner. She walked to Cheng Chun and looked at her with a look of hatred for steel: "Look at you, you are working so hard to give porridge to those people, and you are still being bullied."
, you don’t know how to scold me back?”
Cheng Chun looked at Madam Wang's appearance and laughed softly: "Thank you madam for your bravery to help me get rid of this bad temper!"
Madam Wang originally wanted to say a few words to her, but Cheng Chun said "Thank you" with a smile. Madam Wang felt that her work was not in vain, and her heart suddenly felt sweet, and most of her anger was gone: "You look like this
The soft bun looks like a newly married bride, I tell you, your mother-in-law will definitely take care of you like this!"
Cheng Chun looked at the Wang family's wife in front of him, still smiling and saying nothing, just looking at her.
The wife of the Wang family is quite old, and in a few years she will be a mother-in-law. Looking at Cheng Chun's sweet and sweet look, she swallowed the words that came to her lips for a moment.
"That's all, there are some things that you have to go through before you know how to deal with them!" Madam Wang waved her hands helplessly, then turned around to work.
Just as Chengchun was working with his head down and in a muffled voice, a man suddenly walked into the porridge shed. From a distance, he saw Chengchun squatting on the ground washing grains, and walked over: "Su
Why is that boy Xu Bai willing to let you do all this work?"
The women who were busy working all raised their heads, and then saw Meng Shaoqing who walked in at some time. Suddenly, everyone stood up and saluted. Madam Wang also quickly asked: "General Meng."
How did you get here?"
Meng Shaoqing smiled: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me, I will talk to my friend!"
Madam Wang then looked at Cheng Chun standing aside with surprise: "Do you know General Meng?"
Before Cheng Chun had time to speak, Meng Shaoqing had already said with a smile: "She is Su Xubai's concubine. Master Su should have sent her here this morning. Why, you don't know?"
"This...we thought it was the help Mr. Su brought..." Madam Wang looked embarrassed.
Chengchun quickly said to Meng Shaoqing: "Let's go out and talk!"
Meng Shaoqing nodded and followed Chengchun outside the porridge shed.
After Cheng Chun was brought back, this was the first time Meng Shaoqing saw her. She was much thinner than when she left the capital, and her skin was slightly darker. She must have suffered a lot: "I heard that you were a refugee.
Captured?"
Cheng Chun's face froze slightly and he didn't speak for a long time.
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it!" Meng Shaoqing smiled, "Su Xubai didn't embarrass you, right?"
Cheng Chun looked up at Meng Shaoqing: "He seems to have sent my parents away! He threatened me with this and wouldn't let me leave!"
Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly, then burst into laughter: "I really didn't expect that Su Xubai, who has always called himself a gentleman, could do such an obscene and shameless thing!"
Chengchun pursed his lips, feeling a little annoyed: "Now I don't even know where my parents are, and I don't dare to leave at all!"
"I've probably met your parents. Do you have a younger brother?" Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun and smiled, "We arrived in Hangzhou ten days ago. When we came here, Su Xubai was the first
I went to a village and took a family with me. I took a look at them and saw three people, one half-year-old boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was very upright!"
Chengchun's eyes lit up: "Then do you know where he took them?"
"I'm not sure about that. They were probably sent to the capital! Refugees from the south of the Yangtze River are scurrying around and rioting everywhere. Su Xubai probably wouldn't have placed them in the south of the Yangtze River. They probably had them sent to the capital!" Meng Shaoqing
Looking at Cheng Chun, he said softly.
"This person is a sinister villain!" Cheng Chun frowned angrily.
Meng Shaoqing laughed after hearing Cheng Chun's words: "I heard that you and Su Xubai had a quarrel?"
Cheng Chun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did the prince hear this from?"
"Don't ask where I heard this from. Looking at you, you probably had a real quarrel!" Meng Shaoqing smiled, "I remember the first time I saw you, you looked very well-behaved and humble.
He has a sweet face, but he always looks weak when he looks at me. I didn’t expect you to quarrel with him! Chengchun, I didn’t expect you to have two faces?"
"I've always been like this!" Cheng Chun lowered his eyes, "It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. I have to live. People like me who have no background and no one to rely on want to live.
Of course I have to please her! Well, who doesn’t like a well-behaved and innocent little sheep?”
Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and took a deep breath: "Tsk, Su Xubai must be heartbroken now. After all, he has never thought about the delicate and fragile little flower he raised in the greenhouse. In fact, his temper is not
Because he thinks he is so gentle, he must be doubting his own vision!"
Cheng Chun didn't say anything, and just stood in front of Meng Shaoqing, his eyes so sparkling that the hearts of those who looked at him were about to melt.
Meng Shaoqing turned away and then glanced at the refugee not far away: "You probably had a quarrel with him, so he arranged for you to do such a rough job!"
"Rough work is just rough work. It's not like I've never done rough work before. When I was in the countryside, I had to do farm work with my face facing the loess and my back turned to the sky. It was much harder than this." Cheng Chun smiled, with a face full of indifference, "I never did it.
I don’t want to be a noble lady. I know how much I weigh. I don’t understand those red tapes, and I don’t want to understand what wives and concubines are. I just want to live quietly by myself!
"
Meng Shaoqing looked at Chengchun in front of him and felt a little emotional. The capital city was prosperous. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was magnificent. There was feasting and luxury everywhere. Many people were reluctant to leave when they got to that place. But Chengchun
, it seems that she has never been dazzled by those so-called wealthy people. She knows very clearly what she is suitable for and what she wants.
How can a person who clearly knows what he wants give up what he has been pursuing just because of a little benefit in front of him?
"Although I think what you want is very simple, I can't help you at the moment. You have a history of escaping. Now your parents and younger brother are in his hands. He means that there is no way he will let you go.
." Meng Shaoqing laughed helplessly, "Chengchun, if it doesn't work out, let's just accept our fate!"
"Accept your fate?" Cheng Chun paused, then smiled bitterly, "I thought about accepting my fate at first, so I obediently became his concubine, followed him back to the capital, and stayed in his house obediently, but what happened in the end?
What ending did I end up with? I almost died there. I don’t want to go through what happened before. That big mansion. Unless I die, I will never go back again!"
Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun's eyes, full of determination. He thought of her being taken away by the refugees, and then warned: "I don't care what you do in the future, but you'd better not cause any trouble at the moment.
Don't think about running away, the refugees you meet are just the tip of the iceberg, the whole Jiangnan is in chaos now, you must not think about running away at this time."
"I know!" Chengchun's eyes flashed slightly, and the red hairband flashed in her mind. She felt sick in her heart, and her face gradually became ugly.
Meng Shaoqing saw that her face was not good, so she didn't mention it again: "If possible, you'd better go back to the capital first. We have suppressed the refugees here, and then we have to go to the center of the disaster. I'm afraid that place is not suitable for you.
go!"
While they were talking, Su Xubai had already finished his work. At this moment, he saw the two of them standing together talking from a distance, and walked over.
Although Meng Shaoqing's back was turned to him, martial arts practitioners have very sensitive ears, so when he got close, he didn't feel anything strange. Instead, he turned back and looked at him with a smile: "I originally thought you were a sweetheart.
Well, I didn’t expect that you would let him come here to do hard labor!”
Su Xubai glanced at Cheng Chun who was standing aside, without much expression on his face: "Don't I think what she does is pretty easy? At this juncture, anyone with some strength is out to work."
Cheng Chun glanced at Su Xubai, was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned back to work.
Su Xubai looked at it, pursed his lips, and said after a long while: "We are going to Huizhou in two days, you go with us!"
Chengchun, who was squatting there washing dishes, was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Su Xubai: "You want me to die with you, right?"
"Yes!" Su Xubai raised his chin slightly, responded indifferently, then turned and left.
Meng Shaoqing had thought that Cheng Chun and Su Xubai might not be easy to deal with now, but he never thought of being so confrontational and starting to argue whenever they disagreed.
"No, Huizhou is so dangerous, do you really want to take her with you?" Meng Shaoqing caught up with Su Xubai and put her arms around his shoulders, "There are floods and famines over there, and now there is even a febrile epidemic.
, even if both of us go there, we may not be able to come back intact, why do you want her to go to a girl like her’s house and accompany us to die together?”
"That would be better. It would be better if she ran away outside and was captured by the refugees!" Su Xubai stopped, with a look of helplessness in his eyes, "After all, I won't let her leave me again.
"
"Look at the way she treats you, it's obvious that she doesn't care about you, so why do you have to keep her with you?" Meng Shaoqing looked at Su Xubai and said helplessly, "If it doesn't work, just let her go.
