The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1869

[Chapter 1869 Qi Xuan Fanwai (27)]

Qi Xuan Fanwai (27)

Concubine Dou helped Qi Xuan to bed, and then put things in order. At this time, it was already dark.

The food was placed on the table, and Qi Xuan had no appetite, but he still ate it slowly.

Looking at Concubine Dou, who was still eating deliciously, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “They’ve all robbed us of so many things, why aren’t you angry?”

Aunt Dou was shocked, but she quickly adjusted: “What if you are angry? Can they give us the things back when you are angry? I am worried now that the village chief’s wife will not take me up the mountain again.”

Qi Xuan’s attention shifted immediately: “I can leave now. When I recover, I will accompany you up the mountain!” The people here are savage and domineering, and he does not want to have more contact with them.

Hearing Qixuan’s rejection of the people of Ajia Village, Concubine Dou said, “No. If we get into a bad relationship with them, they won’t take you out of the village to buy things, and we won’t even have any salt to eat.” They haven’t eaten such precious things for a long time.

Qi Xuan wanted to be tough, but thinking about the bottomless cliffs and the beasts in the mountains, he couldn’t be tough, and the cruel reality forced him to lower his noble head. Otherwise, you cannot survive here.

Early the next morning, Aunt Dou went to the village chief’s house. Qi Xuan looked at her back and did not speak.

It took more than half an hour before Aunt Dou came back. When he came back, he didn’t come back empty-handed and brought a fish back.

Concubine Dou said with a smile: “This is from the village chief’s wife. We will have a good time later.”

The village chief felt that Concubine Dou not only had high eyebrows and eyes, but also was very shrewd, and she was a person who should not be underestimated. So he had the intention to make his wife and Aunt Dou befriend.

Of course, it was also the village chief who felt that Aunt Dou would definitely be Niti’s daughter-in-law, or else she would be on guard instead of befriending her. Although Qixuan’s injury has greatly improved, the village chief does not think that Qixuan can beat Niti.

After more than half a month of inhuman torture, Qi Xuan’s arrogance has been wiped out.

Seeing the fish in Concubine Dou’s hand, Qi Xuan lay on the bed and said with a guilty face, “Qiao Niang, have you been wronged?”

Concubine Dou was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, “The village chief’s wife didn’t even show me any grievances. I used to encounter tricky guests on the fishing boat, so not only could they not scold them, but they had to greet them with a smile. We may not be paid in full. At that time, I really felt aggrieved.”

“You must have been bullied a lot at that time, right?”

Aunt Dou nodded and said, “I remember when I was ten years old, a guest bumped into me. Not only did he not apologize, he slapped me heavily and knocked me to the ground, and then scolded my parents. My parents stayed with me for a while, and asked me to kneel and kowtow to him before he gave up.” Her face was beaten, and it took several days for her to swell.

It is also a very deep memory of this event, so Aunt Dou has not forgotten it yet.

Qi Xuan did not expect Concubine Dou’s life when she was a child to be so difficult. At the moment, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but ask: “It’s so difficult, why don’t you go back to your hometown? It’s better to do something casual in your hometown than to run a boat.”

The two emperors of the Ming Dynasty made great efforts to rule, and now the people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as you don’t eat and cook, you won’t be hungry.

Aunt Dou smiled, and the smile was full of bitterness: “My grandfather gambled badly. Not only did he sell the house and property, but he also owed a lot of debt. In order to repay the debt, he took my fourteen-year-old aunt with him. The debt was repaid. When these people came to the family to ask for help, it happened that my grandmother brought my parents to help others. After getting the news, my grandmother ran out with my father and aunt. Because they ran out in a hurry, there was nothing. I have no household registration. During that time, I was often hungry and full. Life was extremely difficult.” The girls who were repaid were all sold to the kiln. Once you enter that kind of place, your life is ruined.

No matter how ignorant Qi Xuan is, he also knows that it is not easy for a woman to seek life outside with two children.

“Because I was frightened and couldn’t eat enough every day, my grandmother fell ill. Seeing that my grandmother could no longer live, my aunt found a man and wanted to sell herself. At that time, my aunt wanted to go to a big family to be a maid, but This big family likes to use their own family to have children, and even if they want to buy it, they only buy it when they are younger so that it is convenient for training.” After speaking, Concubine Dou looked at Qi Xuan and said, “You think that life is extremely difficult now, but you can watch your relatives suffer. But when you can’t do anything, that’s the real despair.” Her aunt told her this.

Qi Xuan’s heart was lifted and he asked, “What happened after that? What happened to your aunt?”

Concubine Dou said: “That man Yazi told my aunt that there is only one way to save my grandmother, and that is to get married. Fortunately, that man Yazi is kind-hearted, so he found a generous family for my aunt. Although my uncle is lame I have a leg, but I have been very good to my aunt these years.” Also, Concubine Dou’s aunt is pretty good-looking, otherwise there would be no dowry if she asked for a betrothal gift of twenty taels, and no one would dare to marry her.

“There are still many good-hearted people in this world.”

Aunt Dou nodded and said, “Yeah! If I encounter someone with a black heart, my aunt may be ruined in her life.” In fact, it wasn’t entirely luck. Aunt Dou’s aunt didn’t just find someone and sell it by herself. of. She found it after inquiring and knowing that this person had a good reputation.

Qi Xuan also became interested and asked, “Is your aunt doing well now?”

“It’s not good, it’s not bad, it’s just worrying about chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea all day long.” In fact, as noble as the empress dowager, she also has to worry about this unfilial son!

“Why did your father run off the boat after that?”

Qi Xuan said: “My grandmother died of illness in the second year of my aunt’s marriage. My father was only thirteen years old at the time, and worked as a coolie on the dock to make a living. At the age of eighteen, he rescued a man who fell into the water. My mother. When my grandfather saw that he was Zhou Zheng and had a good character, he promised my mother to her.”

“I think your father’s life experience can write a book.”

Aunt Dou rolled her eyes at Qixuan and said, “My mother felt that when she was working as a coolie at the dock for a lifetime, she sold her dowry and rented a boat, and started a boat-running business. Until my eldest brother was born, I only saved some money at home. Because the cost of chartering a boat is very high, my parents borrowed some money from relatives and friends to buy a boat. It wasn’t until I was ten years old that the family’s foreign debt was repaid.” It’s hard to save money.

Qi Xuan said incredulously: “The boat at your house, I can only look at two or three hundred taels at most.”

Concubine Dou wanted to roll her eyes: “If ordinary people don’t have a particularly capable person, it would be good to save 20 taels of silver a year after all the expenses. Of course, I can’t compare with you, you can just go to the Fortune Building. It costs hundreds of taels to eat a meal.”

Thinking that he thought twenty taels of pocket money was too little when he was a child, Qi Xuan felt a little ashamed.

“Fortunately, my parents have returned to their hometown now, so they don’t have to go around in the wind and rain, and they don’t have to be embarrassed by others.” After speaking, Concubine Dou looked at Qi Xuan and said, “Speaking of which, my parents can Have a good day now, and thank you.”

Qi Xuan quickly shook his head and said, “I didn’t do anything, thank me for what?” When he brought Aunt Dou back to the capital that day, he gave Father Dou a thousand taels of silver, but Father Dou confiscated it.

“My parents didn’t get paid by the previous creditors when they went back to their hometown, and they were able to open a restaurant in their hometown because of your blessing.” Those are all loan sharks, and if they were to be charged and sold, their whole family would not be able to repay them. But Concubine Dou is the concubine of the palace and has given birth to a son. This is the umbrella of the Dou family. Those hooligans confirmed the news and sent back the IOU signed by Concubine Dou’s grandfather. They didn’t even dare to ask for the principal.

After saying these things, Concubine Dou looked at Qi Xuan and said, “My lord, if I am gone in the future, I hope you can let Yikang and my parents walk around.” Even if she is gone, as long as Yikang is there, those ruffians Even the hooligans dare not bully the Dou family.

Qi Xuan held Concubine Dou’s hand and said, “No, unless I die, I will never let you have any trouble.”

Concubine Dou looked straight at Qi Xuan and said, “My lord, then I will trust you again. I hope you will not let me down again this time.”

Qi Xuan nodded heavily.

After the two chatted for a while, Concubine Dou helped him to the kitchen and said, “I’ll put the medicine away, and you can fry it yourself. You can pour it out in about two quarters of an hour after getting out of the way. When it’s no longer hot, you can hurry up. Drink. This medicine is cold and harder to drink.”

I have been following the village chief’s wife to the mountains these days, and I haven’t been to the fields for several days. I’m afraid there is a lot of grass growing in the ground.

Qi Xuan sat down with difficulty. The fall he fell yesterday made Qi Xuan’s injury aggravated. So now I get up and sit down, and it hurts so much.

Looking at the medicine in the medicine bowl, Qi Xuan asked, “Do you think this medicine is really useful?” With the virtue of a witch doctor, how could he truly treat him.

Aunt Dou was in a good mood when she got Qi Xuan’s words yesterday: “I know you don’t believe in that witch doctor, but I don’t believe it either. But this medicine is indeed useful, and you can’t know this better than yourself!”

The medicine is really helpful, and my body feels much better after taking it. Qi Xuan said: “It is estimated that it was a mistake.”

After explaining, Concubine Dou carried her hoe and went out with a machete.

The first time I had no experience in boiling the medicine, the fire was a bit big. By the time he poured the medicine, the medicine just spread over the bottom of the bowl and disappeared.

In the past, Qi Xuan wished to drink less, but now he does not dare to be self-willed. After drinking the medicine, he scooped up a bowl of water and poured it into the medicine bowl to boil the medicine again.

Feeling bitter in the mouth, I ate two thorns. This thorn bubble was taken from the mountain by Concubine Dou with the village chief’s wife, and came back as a snack for Qi Xuan.

After taking the medicine, Qi Xuan did not enter the room to rest. Instead, he scooped water into the pot, and then went into the utility room with a cane to pick up the pheasant sent by Niti.

When the pheasant was cleaned up, Qi Xuan’s head and face were covered in chicken feathers. But he didn’t care about it, he chopped the pheasant in half and added mushrooms to the pot and stewed it.

Gu Jiu watched all this from the roof and nodded secretly. It seems that the suffering of more than half a month has not been in vain.

When Aunt Dou came back, she couldn’t believe her eyes when she looked at the cooked food. It’s true, the sun is out in the west.

Qi Xuan was a little embarrassed and said, “Just do it randomly, you will eat it!” Also, seeing that Concubine Dou went home early and came home late these days, he still wanted to cook, so he wanted to do more things to make Concubine Dou not be so tired. .

Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, Qi Xuan’s behavior made Concubine Dou overjoyed. It seemed that Gu Jiu was right, and he had to suffer. Only then can it really change.
