Chapter 2 The black girl looked around, and when the maid from the He family was not around, she stretched out two fingers and twisted them towards the girl's nose on the bed.
The girl was in pain and opened her eyes with a cry. What she faced was a dark and red smiling face. The pain on her body made her wake up instantly. This was the person who saved her.
She overestimated her physical strength after the injury and underestimated the danger of the Yellow River after the weather changed.
Before she was rescued, she was almost unable to hold on. She was pushed back by the turbulent river water every time she tried to reach the shore. If it weren't for the girl in front of her, she might have become a drifter.
The girl yawned. She slept so darkly that she didn't know what was going on. She hadn't slept like this for a long time. In the past few years, it was difficult for her to fall asleep without drinking some wine.
She wanted to continue sleeping, but the black girl didn't want her to sleep.
"You're awake, haha, great, you're alive, alive! I saved you, my name is Black Girl! It was me and White Dog who saved you, hahaha!"
One thousand, five hundred taels for the living and 500 taels for the dead. The He family posted a notice in the county town. It was written in black and white. It had to be counted.
The black girl laughed heartily, and the young girl was also infected. She twitched her lips and showed a smile, and was about to speak. Suddenly, a figure rushed over like a wind, pushed the black girl in front, threw herself on the girl and howled: "Miss, I finally found you!"
The girl frowned slightly and saw clearly that the person in front of her was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She sounded like a maid. The girl asked softly: "Are you sure I am your eldest lady?"
The maid raised her tear-stained face and grabbed the girl's hand: "I've seen this, I see a red mole on your instep. You are my eldest lady, and I am your maid Yan'er."
The girl took her hand out of Yan'er's hand. She wanted to look at her feet, but unfortunately, a burst of pain came when she moved her body, so she had to give up.
The girl smiled: "Well, now that you have seen it, it seems that I am really the eldest lady in your family, but I don't remember anything."
Yan'er's smile went straight to her eyes: "You don't remember, that's great, no, this slave said such terrible things, it would be better if you don't remember."
The girl moved her body slightly, and there was another sharp pain in the wound. The river was turbid, and she had been soaked in the water for so long. The wound was most likely inflamed. If it dragged on any longer, it would really kill her.
"I'm injured. Please heal me, doctor, otherwise I will die and you will cry again."
Before Yan'er could say anything, the black girl shouted loudly: "I can't die, it's only 500 taels, and I haven't paid yet!"
The doctor is outside, who was invited by Bai Gou, but Yan'er refuses to allow the doctor to see his daughter's injuries: "Do you know who our He family is? A family of officials! The eldest daughter of my family is the eldest daughter. With this status , you have never seen it, right? Go quickly and invite the best doctor here. By the way, is there a medical woman? If you want to hire a medical woman, how can the eldest lady, with her body of gold, allow a stinky man to treat a doctor! "
In this small place, there are no medical women. Fortunately, there is a doctor's wife who also knows medical skills. Yan'er rolled her eyes several times and finally agreed to let the doctor's wife look at the injuries of her eldest lady.
The doctor's wife's eyes fell on the girl's wound and hesitantly asked: "Girl, is this a sword wound?"
The girl's voice was calm: "It's not a sword injury, right? How can ordinary people have swords?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan'er said: "Of course this is not a sword wound, it is a dagger. Some thieves boarded the boat to rob, and stabbed the eldest lady. The eldest lady fell from the boat into the river."
Yan'er's voice was very loud, as if she was afraid that the people around her wouldn't hear her.
The doctor's wife did not ask any more questions, but carefully cleaned the girl's wound and applied medicinal powder: "My ancestors were military doctors. This medicinal powder is the most effective in treating knife wounds. The girl can rest in peace and recover from her injuries. I will come back tomorrow to change the dressing."
The girl thanked her and lay down again, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Yan'er didn't want her to sleep, and kept talking in her ear: "Miss, you don't remember anything that happened before you fell into the water?"
The girl shook her head: "I don't remember, I don't even remember who I am."
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. My servant tells you that you are from the He family in Zhending Prefecture, North Zhili. Your father is the eldest son of the He family. The eldest son was a Jinshi and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites."
Yan'er was frothing at the mouth, but the girl grasped the key point: "Have you done it? Then you are not the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette now?"
Yan'er was stunned for a moment, with a stern look on her face: "The old man has passed away, and he has returned to his hometown, Dingyou. He has just come out of his filial piety period."
The girl snorted: "In other words, Ding You was unable to be reinstated."
Yan'er was anxious: "That's not true. The eldest master is extremely knowledgeable and has an in-law like Marquis Wu'an. Not only can he be reinstated, but he can also be promoted."
The girl whispered again: "Am I the one who is engaged to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion?"
"Yes, it's you, or what?" Yan'er swallowed the next words, and she almost forgot about Liu's mother's instructions.
"Since I am a eldest lady, I should be kept in a boudoir. Why did I come here and why did I fall into the river?" The girl was puzzled.
Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained that it turned out that Mr. He had married two wives successively. The current one was a second wife, and the eldest daughter was the daughter of Mr. He's first wife, Lao.
Fourteen years ago, while pregnant with Liujia, Lao returned to Zhending from the capital and encountered heavy snow on the way.
While sheltering from the wind and snow in the ruined temple, they happened to encounter a Tartar spies who wanted to rob Lu Zhen, the four-year-old prince of Wu'an Hou. At that time, Lao was chatting with Mrs. Wu'an Hou, and Lu Zhen was beside her.
When the spy grabbed Lu Zhen, Lao Shi instinctively blocked it and was kicked away by the spy.
Although the guards of Wu'an Hou Mansion killed the spy on the spot, Lao was injured in the accident and gave birth to a daughter prematurely.
Lao died of hemorrhage after childbirth. This daughter was raised like a jewel by the He family. Unexpectedly, Madam Wu'an Hou paid a sudden visit not long ago and recognized at a glance that this daughter was not Lao's flesh and blood.
It turned out that Mrs. Wu'anhou personally delivered her baby and made a marriage promise. From then on, this little baby girl became the crown prince's wife of Wu'anhou's mansion.
Later, the people sent by the Hou Mansion arrived, but Lao had just given birth and could not travel long distances. Mrs. Wu An Hou sent someone to the capital to report the news to Mr. He, and also sent two people to guard the ruined , Mr. Lao died before Mr. He arrived.
According to Mr. He's recollection, there was a couple who were sheltering from the wind and snow in the ruined temple at that time. The wife also gave birth prematurely after being frightened. However, Mr. He was worried about his wife at the time and did not pay attention. Now that I think about it, it must have been that person. When the couple saw that Mr. Lao was born into a wealthy family, they became evil-minded and exchanged their two children unprepared.
Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Wu Anhou saw that Miss He didn't have a red mole on her feet, so she was sure that she was fake?"
Yan'er nodded desperately: "Yes, yes, you see you have a red mole, so you are the eldest lady of our family. The eldest master found you with great difficulty, and sent his slaves and Mother Liu to pick you up. After you fell into the water, Liu Mom went to report the message, and the servant has already sent someone to deliver the message. We will set off when she comes back."
The girl laughed silently. 14 years ago, Mr. He hugged the wrong daughter. 14 years later, Mr. He finally found his biological flesh and blood. Unfortunately, while the boat was sailing on the river, he encountered another thief. Fortunately, Miss He did not deserve to die. After falling into the water, he was found by someone. From then on, his family was reunited and their good relationship was renewed. The He family had a great backer in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Mr. He's official career was prosperous and he rose to great heights.
"If I had not been rescued and was buried in the river, then this marriage might have fallen on other girls of the He family, or maybe it was the fake Miss He. After all, that one was also raised carefully. , it is also recorded in the name of the former eldest wife. If it were not for me, she would also be the eldest lady of the He family... Am I right? "
Yan'er was startled, is that so?How could she, a little maid, know this? She did everything according to Mother Liu's instructions.
The girl changed the topic and asked about something that interested her more: "You said the prince of Wu'an is called Lu Zhen?"
She clearly remembered that the prince of Wu'an was named Lu Zhong. Where did this Lu Zhen, who was engaged to her, come from? "Yes, it's called Lu Zhen." Yan'er was very sure. She knew a few words and was worried that she would forget them, so she asked Grandma Liu to write them down on paper when she came.
The girl was confused and suddenly thought of something: "What year is it now?"
"It's the third year of Chong'an." Yan'er was not surprised at all. The eldest lady didn't remember anything.
"Three years of Chong'an? What is the current emperor's surname? Is it still Zhou Chi?"
The figure of Zhou Chi appeared in the girl's mind. Before she returned here, it was the 15th year after Zhou Chi ascended the throne. The reign name at that time was Yuanqing.
Yan'er was startled and looked around hurriedly to make sure that the black girl and the white dog were not eavesdropping at the door. Then she said with a serious face: "Miss, Taizu's name is not something that everyone can call directly. It’s just that you just woke up, you can’t do this again, not only will you be laughed at, but you will also cause trouble.”
Taizu?
The girl felt a pain in her heart. It turned out that Xiaochizi had become Taizu.
"Then who is the current emperor from Taizu?"
Seeing that the eldest lady finally stopped calling Taizu by his first name, Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief: "The emperor today is Taizu's grandson, but the late emperor was also Taizu's grandson. After Taizu's death, the throne was passed to Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong passed it on to Emperor Gaozong. When Emperor Gaozong died and there was no prince, the throne was passed on to his younger brother, who is now the emperor."
The girl narrowed her eyes: "How many years has it been since Taizu died?"
Yan'er didn't know that she was not born when Taizu died. How could she know?
However, she remembered one thing: "The Empress Dowager is still alive. She only celebrated her seventieth birthday last year."
Seeing the confused look on the eldest lady's face, Yan'er was even more relieved. Who in the world didn't know about the Empress Dowager, but this eldest lady obviously didn't know. It seemed that she wasn't lying, she just didn't remember anything.
"The Empress Dowager's maiden name is Min, but the Min family has been in decline for a long time, and it has only gradually improved in the past two years." Yan'er said this, lowered her voice, and leaned into the girl's ear, "The Empress Dowager was imprisoned by Emperor Taizu. It took more than 40 years until the Holy Spirit ascended the throne to release her."
The girl's expression finally changed a little, her pale face suddenly became brighter, and there was even a hint of excitement in her eyes.
As expected, Yan'er is even more proud as she is someone who has never seen the world before: "Our eldest wife's cousin is married to the Min family, and the newly married Princess Jin is a girl from her family, but..."
The girl's heart moved: "Tell me, Princess Jin, where is the fiefdom of Prince Jin?"
Yan'er looked at her as if she were a fool: "Of course King Jin's fiefdom is in Jinyang City, otherwise where else could it be?"
Of course, the King of Jin is in the land of Jin, and Jinyang is the largest city in the land of Jin. This is something that all children know, but the person in front of me seems to have really forgotten everything.
"The girl from your eldest wife's cousin's family is really good at marrying." The girl looked envious, Princess Jin, how can she do that? Yan'er's originally proud little face dimmed: "It's a pity that Princess Jin was short-lived. She died on the day of her wedding. It is said that she was killed by the maid she brought as a dowry. Tell me, how unlucky it was."
"Ah?" The girl covered her mouth in a fuss. Murder is so scary. She looked around and lowered her voice, "What about the murderer? Have you caught him?"
Yan'er snorted coldly and raised her chin: "Princess Jin did it to protect Prince Jin... How could Prince Jin not avenge her? The murderer was killed on the spot!"
The girl lowered her head and looked at her hands. There were calluses on her palms, as well as on her thumb, index finger and middle finger. She must be the maid next to Princess Jin. These hands had killed people, maybe she had killed many before that. people.
She was King Jin's person, but she was also the maid next to Princess Jin. She wanted to kill King Jin, but Princess Jin died in her hands to protect Prince Jin. And in the end, she was silenced, so what she really wanted to kill was This person is actually not King Jin, but Princess Jin! A smile appeared on the girl's lips. Fortunately, her head was not damaged by the waves, and she was quite smart.
Yan'er was still chattering endlessly, saying how loyal and great Princess Jin was, but her tone didn't seem to be praise, but regret.
Originally, the eldest wife's niece could be the Princess Jin, and now she is, but she is dead after all. Can the dead Princess Jin be the same as the living Princess Jin?
Just look at the dead eldest lady and the current eldest lady, you will know that they are different! The girl glanced at Yan'er: "Your eldest wife's cousin is your aunt?"
Yan'er was startled: "How do you know?"
Isn't the eldest wife's cousin the aunt of the Min family? "You said she was her girl, but you didn't say she was her daughter."
Yan'er was a little embarrassed and immediately talked about how wealthy the Min family was now. Apart from the short-lived Princess Jin, who else had married into a wealthy family.
Yan'er's voice gradually turned into noise, and the girl closed her eyes. Zhou Chi had been dead long ago, but Min was still alive. She endured the death of her husband, her concubine, and her grandson before finally leaving again. Arrive in front of people.
