After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous - Chapter 498

Once I went on an inspection tour to Qinchuan County, the local county captain tried hard to persuade me to go to the home of a scholar to watch his daughter dance the Hu Xuan Dance. I knew that they were trying to find a way to donate beautiful women to me.

There was nothing going on, and there really wasn’t much entertainment in this county, so I went there.

The dancer was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with lively eyebrows. She was indeed a rare beauty. I was a little moved.

　　When I asked her if she would like to come with me, the child refused straight away. She was so cheerful.

I laughed and didn’t care. After all, I don’t lack women, let alone beauties.

Unexpectedly, when I returned to Fucheng, the girl appeared in my house again.

Of course I know what’s going on. It’s just that the people below brought her here, and her parents must be willing.

 But I don’t care, because it happens too often, and all the concubines in my backyard come here this way.

 After that, whenever I entertained all the soldiers at a banquet, there was another little dancer at my banquet. She was not the best dancer, nor the most beautiful, but she was the most agile among them all.

 The subordinate noticed my love for her and wanted her to sleep with her. So one night, the girl was dressed up beautifully and walked into my dormitory.

I leaned on the bed, looked at the pretty figure, and asked her to come over.

 The girl walked ten feet away from my bed and asked me seriously: “If I sleep with you, can you let me go?”

I laughed. This was the first time someone made such a request to me. Such a young girl was so ignorant and fearless.

“No.” I said with a smile: “You are a gift from your parents to me. Unless your parents ask for it from me, you can only stay in the house.”

The girl suddenly dropped her face and said, “My father said that I am a dancer in your house, specializing in dancing. If you can’t let me go, why should I sleep with you?” After that, she turned and left.

 I was silent. When I heard someone stopping her outside, I loudly asked them to let her go.

There are a lot of concubines in the house, most of which I have never touched. As long as I wave, a group of concubines will immediately surround me. So for this girl, I admire her courage, but I am also a little annoyed.

　　So I regarded her as a dancing queen, and every time I had a banquet, I would call her to add to the fun.

　　There were many soldiers who fell in love with her and wanted to take advantage of her. As a result, she picked up a plate of food and poured it on his head, and loudly accused me, saying that I didn’t keep my words and bullied her as a child.

 Everyone at the banquet was looking at me, so what could I do? I had to appease the soldier whose head was full of vegetable soup and let Chen Ying go out and stand there holding the plate for five hours.

 Five o’clock, it was already dawn. When I got up, I saw the girl in red standing upright under the tree.

She was cunning. Although she was standing, she fell asleep with her back against the big tree.

 Looking at the plate on her head, she tied a ribbon around her head.

I was so funny that I walked over and poked her in the head.

 The girl woke up excitedly and saw that I didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, she asked, “Has the fifth hour arrived?”

 I ignored her and walked away.

Recently, we have been busy. There are frequent bandits in the countryside. Some of them have five or eight hundred people.

 When I came back two months later, I rewarded the soldiers again.

This time I asked the girl to dance, and no soldiers dared to provoke her.

  Verbal jokes still happen, but girls don’t care.

 A year passed, and the girl’s hair grew longer and she became more beautiful.

 Every time she walked past the soldiers, she would attract everyone’s attention.

 Of course, I was moved too.

 Everyone has a love for beauty, so I called her here again.

She stood in front of my bed and asked the same question: “I’ll sleep with you, can you let me go? My adoptive parents are suffering in the countryside, and I want to see them.”

I took her in my arms, kissed her, and held her in my arms, “Since you sleep with me, how can I let you go? How about I let someone check on your adoptive parents and give them some money?” ”

 The girl nodded, then shook her head quickly, rejecting me, “Then let’s wait until my adoptive parents are involved. I…I can’t sleep with you now.”

 She pushed me away with great force, then turned and ran away.

 I closed my eyes and took a breath for a long time to calm down my anger.

At this moment, I really wanted to ignore her and bring her into the room, but my reason told me that I couldn’t force her.

This child has a stubborn temper. Judging from my investigation of her family, she is a little firecracker who is not afraid of anything.

If I make her anxious, she can do anything and even embarrass me in front of all the soldiers.

Of course, it’s not that I’m afraid of her. In the final analysis, it’s just that I like her a little, so I indulged her again.

　　After that, I asked someone to check on her adoptive father and mother, and got the news that her adoptive father and mother had died of the epidemic a few years ago, leaving only two adoptive brothers, one stupid and the other sick.

I told her the news. The girl cried uncontrollably. Suddenly she knelt down and asked me to let her go, saying she wanted to go back and take care of her two younger brothers.

As he spoke, he untied his clothes and threw himself into my arms, saying he was going to help me sleep.

I lowered my face, pushed her away, stood up and walked away.

 After that, I left her alone for most of the year, and never summoned her, but I ordered my subordinates to keep a close eye on her to prevent her from doing anything extraordinary.

The girl was very depressed for a period of time. She entrusted a soldier to send the silver and copper coins she had saved to her younger brother, and entrusted a servant to **** her clothes.

How dare that servant refuse to take over?

 I was a little angry after knowing this. She didn’t come to ask me for help, but instead entrusted it to my men.

  I simply don’t care about her and let her do whatever she wants.

 Once, a young military general suddenly asked me to marry Chen Ying, which made me a little annoyed, because this military general was the one who helped her carry things to her brother.

Of course I can’t agree and just give this military commander a dancing girl.

 This dancer also performs Hu Xuan dance, and she often gets into trouble with Chen Ying.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Chen Changping brought his second daughter to me.

Looking at the face that looked exactly like Chen Ying, I accepted her.

Even though the face is similar, the person is not the same person. When I was venting my anger, I was thinking badly about whether Chen Ying would be offended.

I also gave Chen Changping’s second daughter gold, silver, jewelry and silk with great fanfare, hoping to arouse the girl’s jealousy.

 But no, she acted as if nothing had happened and rejected my advances again.

I was very angry, so I asked her to dance during the banquet, and she was not allowed to stop until I told her to stop.

 She danced continuously for an hour and finally collapsed.

I was panicking at this moment, but someone rushed in front of me, picked her up and ran outside the hall to call the doctor.

 Finally, the doctor diagnosed that she had sprained her ankle, and I let her dance for more than an hour.

 I am annoyed and distressed, and it is easy for others to take care of me.

 I went to see her in the evening, held her hand and promised her that as long as she was obedient and she recovered from her injury, I would take her as my concubine.

She was not very happy. She just asked me: “If I become a concubine, can I go out freely?”

 I was silent, got up and left.

  She did it on purpose, to make me angry.

Later, her legs and feet got better, and she became much quieter. She no longer climbed over walls and climbed trees from time to time.

 I happen to be very busy these days and don’t have much time to see her.

Once, I saw her chatting with several young military generals in the outer courtyard. This made me wary, so I moved my office outside and asked two women to guard the gates of the inner and outer courtyards to prevent anyone from entering or exiting at will.

But the mother-in-law blocked the general, but could not stop Sanlang and Wei Jiaqi Lang.

One day, they broke into Chen Ying’s yard and watched her take a bath.

 After that, he ran to me and asked me for Chen Ying. I was furious and immediately ordered my servant to give him ten lashes.

The stepmother was so distressed that she cried and fussed, and finally ran back to her parents’ home with Saburo.

 I am unmoved.

Since my father’s death, I have always been friendly to my brothers, respected my stepmother, and have never treated them harshly. However, Sanlang is too dandy and often harasses the inner court. This time, he coveted the girl I love. This cannot be tolerated.

 One day, Chen Zhao came to me and told me that her third sister had escaped over the wall.

 I was shocked, and quickly led people to chase him out of the house, and notified all the city gates to close immediately.

I sent more than a thousand soldiers to search for her in the city, and finally caught her in a clothing store.

 When I took the bundle off her, I saw that it was filled with all the gold, silver, jewels and ornaments that I had given her.

“Why did you run away?” I asked through gritted teeth.

She told lies with her eyes wide open: “I didn’t run away, I just went out to buy some food. Your food tastes terrible.”

I laughed angrily and poked at the bag: “What is this?”

 She blinked and said, “I don’t have any money in my hand, I want to change it to some money to spend.”

I know in my heart that what she said is true. All the money in her hand was given to the soldiers to take to her brother. What she had in her hand were all the jewelry and other jewelry I gave her.

 As for whether her brother received it or not, I don’t care.

 Handing the baggage to the adjutant, I dragged her away: “In that case, I’ll pay for whatever you want to eat.”

She followed me obediently and wanted to buy some candied haws when she saw them.

I bought a few, and she ate them all the way back to the house, and even stuffed one into my mouth.

At this moment, the anger in my chest was extinguished, and there was no trace left.

 At night, I stayed in her courtyard and took her by force.

 She was very angry and scratched and bit me, but I was happy with it.

 I think that when I come back from doing errands this time, I will give her the title of side room.

 In autumn, bandits are causing trouble in various places, and foreign countries are also ready to invade our borders.

 I was ordered to go to the front line to assist, so I told the government to take good care of my family and take good care of Chen Ying.

Before leaving, I kissed her forehead and said, “Wait for me at home. If you feel unwell, ask the doctor to check your pulse. If you want anything, just ask the steward and he will take care of it.”

 In fact, I hope that she will be pregnant now and give birth to a son and a half for me. In that case, she will be enough for me in this life.

 But I didn’t dare to give her any money. I had put the jewelry into the warehouse and would naturally return it to her when I came back.

 Because I can’t guarantee that she will not run away again if she has money.

 During the few months at the border, I thought about her every day. If I saw anything interesting, I would buy it and bring it to her when I went back to make her happy.

Thinking of her angry and angry expressions made me feel itchy.

On this day, I suddenly received a letter from the housekeeper saying that Chen Ying had escaped.

 My heart felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it for the past 39 days, and it was so cold that it penetrated my bones.

 The war finally ended and I hurried back to the house.

She was indeed gone. She opened the pillow and saw a letter.

In the letter, she told me not to look for her. She also told me that she only took her own clothes and nothing else.

At the end, I would like to add that she had the chance to run away thanks to Chen Zhao’s help.

 I know what the last sentence means. She wanted to attribute her escape to Chen Zhao.

 As she wished, I beat Chen Zhao fifty times and drove her out of the house.

 As for Chu Yan who helped her escape, I can’t touch him yet.

 But he must give me an explanation.

Chu Yan knelt in front of me and told me that Chen Ying was originally from his hometown. He felt pity for her because she only cared about her younger brother, so he sent her out of the city because he also had a sister who was killed by bandits.

 I was silent for a long time and asked him to go out and receive fifty lashes.

 After that, I sent people to search everywhere, but there was no trace of her. Finally, I asked people to guard near Jiangjia Village. If she did not die, she would eventually go there to find her brother.

 More than half a year later, I finally got news about her.

It turns out that she traveled all the way back to Qinchuan County disguised as a beggar, and started a small business in Qinchuan County. After saving a little money, she went to look for her brother.

 Seeing that her brothers were in such desolate condition, she took them to live in the county town.

It was only then that she realized that in addition to paying for her brother’s medical treatment, part of the money she had sent her had been collected by her cousin-in-law.

After Chen Ying took her brothers to the county town, she went out to do business alone and often wandered among local gangsters. I asked a local gang leader to take good care of her and not allow anyone to touch her, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The gang leader agreed to ask his subordinates to be polite to her.

I was angry and didn’t want to care about her anymore, but she was the one that haunted me so much that I couldn’t let her go, so I could only hang her out and let her live a free life for a few days.

 The court happened to be unstable at this time, and many people were ready to take action, so I had no time to take care of my children’s personal affairs.

I think that after the court is settled and she has gone crazy enough, I will bring her three siblings back.

Unexpectedly, during the rectification of the court, someone impeached Chen Changping for corruption and accepting bribes.

This matter was not investigated by me, and I had no intention of excusing him, so Chen Changping was dismissed from his post and investigated.

 I don’t take it seriously because my girl doesn’t like her parents and doesn’t depend on them for her life.

 A year later, I suddenly received a message that Chen Ying had hanged himself.

 I was so frightened and angry that my hand holding the letter trembled.

 How could my girl hang herself? She was so full of life, even if she ran back to her hometown despite all the hardships, what reason would there be to hang herself?

 I immediately sent someone to investigate and found out that she was killed by her biological parents.

“Find them! Bring them back! I will deal with them myself.” I sent people to find the whereabouts of Chen Changping’s family, and they found out where King Cheng was.

I happened to receive news that King Cheng was planning to rebel, so I made an effort to destroy him.

 When I brought that family back, I interrogated them one by one, starting with their servants.

 A servant told the whole story, including who discovered her first.

The servant said: “The eldest lady came to the county town to sell fish. She accidentally saw the third lady, so she followed her. When she found her residence, she told the husband and his wife, and then took them to the small courtyard. The lady ordered The slave beat the third lady’s brother, and then the lady strangled the third lady to death. The slave didn’t dare to kill anyone. The lady did it herself, and the eldest lady stood outside the fence and watched, but she didn’t stop him.”

I waved my hand and asked someone to take them down, and then asked someone to bring the Chen family over.

I looked at the frail woman below and wondered how she could strangle a strong, living person.

 So I said to her, if she strangles her eldest daughter with my own hands, I will spare her life.

The woman agreed without thinking, and put a belt around her eldest daughter’s neck with her own hands.

 I just looked at it and felt very bored.

 In fact, since my girl died, I have no interest in anything.

Even if someone later advised me to have more children, kill the young emperor, and ascend the throne myself, I still felt it was boring.

 There are many women in my backyard, but none of them can enter my heart.

 That girl is gone.

I found many people who were similar to her, but they still couldn’t drive away the sadness in my heart.

Every time I think of it, it breaks my heart.
