"Chirp chirp…" The sound of birds chirping in my ears gradually woke me up. What I saw was still the pink curtain.。The chirping reminded me that I was in an unknown dynasty and that it was time for me to face reality. I got up and looked out the window. The sky was slightly white and spotless. It was an ordinary small courtyard. There was an osmanthus tree in the middle of the courtyard. It seemed to be spring and had not bloomed yet. I wonder if I would have the opportunity to smell the fragrance of this tree. "Sigh!"
"Ling Rong, you're awake? He he, quickly drink the medicine and you'll be fine. It's only 11 am and you're already awake.”The gentle tone came first, but the ordinary-looking madam had a kind smile on her face. As the door opened, a faint light entered the room." Hehe, Mother, how can I be so delicate? It's time to recover. Besides, it's already dawn. Mother, don't worry!”I slowly raised my head. "You still need to rest. Are you still worried about your marriage? Ling Rong believes in Mother, Mother will definitely protect you! Drink the medicine first. Mother will make breakfast for you.”"Tsk." His mother turned around and lit the oil lamp. The slightly dark room was instantly lit up. Without waiting for me to reply, Mother placed the medicine on my bed and left in a gust of wind. She even closed the door considerately, afraid that I would be cold. Spring Cold. I picked up the bowl of medicine. Four taels of green, one coin of light powder, and a little bit of lotus juice. Hehe, it's a very common folk remedy. It was very effective in treating my previous coma. Perhaps the original Ling Rong was too fragile, allowing me to take advantage of it. After all, this family wasn't rich. Mother must have put in a lot of effort to prepare this bowl of medicine. He raised his head and downed it in one go. You want to ask me why I'm here? Although it was early in the morning, in this era without technology, even if the sky was slightly white, the house had to be lit. I stared at the wick in silence. His father had left and never returned. Perhaps it was because of his friendship with his wife, but all he saw was the number of his account every year and nothing else. At first, my mother was still able to hold on for me. I didn't ask her for my father because I knew I wouldn't be able to come back. I was only eight years old then. Other than the monthly money, my mother also went out to work. She had always been a housewife at home, and she endured it for me. Years passed and I became an adult. My father stopped sending money and my mother fell ill and was bedridden all day. At the age of 18, I could only work while studying. I was also responsible for my mother's medical expenses and my living expenses. No matter how difficult it was, he had endured it. To put it nicely, choosing Chinese medicine is the quintessence of the Chinese nation. To put it bluntly, it's better to say that I don't have the conditions to learn Western medicine. I'm afraid of blood, so I don't dare to operate. I'm even afraid of injections because I'm afraid of pain. Yes, I made it through. I graduated and became the director of the quality management department of a well-known Chinese medicine company. I studied nutrition for my mother's health. I didn't want to go to the hospital because I didn't want to face the so-called life and death. The days slowly got better. Perhaps it was because she saw that I could take care of myself, but my mother suddenly seemed to have been hollowed out by the years. Her once gentle and beautiful face was as cold as the wind and frost. The days were clearly getting better, but my mother, who was only 53 years old, had left. His murky eyes kept looking at me, but he couldn't say a word. She never remarried because of me, and she also exhausted her life for the love in her heart. I'm already 28 years old. Unfortunately, I don't even have a boyfriend. I think my mother will be worried about me after she dies. Unfortunately, on the day of my mother's burial, I came here for no reason. "Pa!" The wick jumped and I suddenly woke up. Forget it, I shouldn't dwell on the past. I should think about what to do now.
" Zhi ya--" The door opened. It was an old face and a slightly hunched body, but she walked towards me firmly. Yes, this was my mother, the mother of my world. Against the dim light, I felt that everything was so warm and gentle. "I added your favorite sweet potatoes and a plate of green vegetables to the porridge in the morning. It's so tender! Come and eat!" Mother greeted me with a warm smile. Just like how my mother used to call me to eat, I was no longer in a daze. I got out of bed and sat on a stool. Mother took out a thick cotton coat from the box and put it on me. Then, the mother and son ate a blissful breakfast. Black wooden chopsticks and a poor quality porcelain bowl. He took a sip of the hot sweet potato porridge, which was filled with a strong sweet fragrance. The vegetables were also crispy and sweet, very refreshing. I didn't even get to savor the taste of that bowl of porridge when I first arrived yesterday. Today, I must carefully experience this loving mother's heart. It had been a long time since I had eaten my mother's cooking. After my mother fell ill, I was the one who took care of it. However, I felt that this usual breakfast was very fragrant and warm. There were no words, but the expression in his eyes was more than a thousand words. After dinner, it was still Mother who cleaned up. Looking at her rough hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her." Mother, let me clean up. Otherwise, Ling Rong will feel guilty!"”I stopped my mother from clearing the dishes and looked at her. "Your body hasn't recovered yet. It's cold outside. You should lie down quickly.”Her mother packed up and left the room with a determined expression. He sighed and hated himself for being useless. Blowing out the oil lamp, let's save whatever we can. The room was dark. His body was indeed very weak. He felt weak even after eating. He also woke up at 5 am. He was probably only as diligent as when he was studying and working hard in the modern world. Originally, I just wanted to sit on the bed. Perhaps it was the cold of spring, but I still crawled into the bed. This action seemed to exhaust my strength and I couldn't help but fall asleep. Oh, I'm a little sleepy.
If I didn't know that I wasn't a pig in my previous life, I would have suspected that I was a pig. I actually fell asleep again. The sky was clear and the room was warm. It should be noon. Speaking of which, I really don't know what I look like. God bless me not to be too shabby. I got up and walked to the corner of the room. Poor, really poor. I thought there would be a mirror. Alright, there wasn't even a mirror. Sigh, don't look so ugly. How old am I this year? People say that I'm rich and beautiful. I'm invincible. Lie down.。Shut up and don't curse. Forget it, I'll just bask in the sun in the courtyard. I went out and looked around. It turned out that my sister lived in a demolished house. I was wondering why it was so shabby! My house is next to my mother's house. There is no toilet door a few steps away from my mother's house. Is this a toilet or a kitchen? A low whisper came from my mother's room and caught my attention. I tiptoed and hid in the corner of the window to eavesdrop. "Sister, Abihuai is a heartless man. He's determined to sell his daughter for glory! This black-hearted child was not afraid of retribution. After all, he was his own flesh and blood. He actually wanted to betroth such a lovely child like Ling Rong to Old Man Liu!”This voice was even more cold-blooded because of her hatred. It was Concubine Xiao. "Sister, although I am his wife, An Bihuai was just a poor scholar in his early years. If I didn't sell embroidery for a living all day long and donated Songyang County Magistrate for him over the years, he wouldn't have the money to marry a concubine, eat, drink, and gamble! It's really disappointing. It's fine if he dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife, but now he's going to get involved with my only daughter. He's not human, he's not human, boohoo!”The low curse of hatred was accompanied by a sob that was filled with hatred and poison. "Who in Songyang County doesn't know that although Old Man Liu's family has good farmland and a shop, he already has seven concubines! He was also a person who didn't do his job properly!”Aunt Xiao said helplessly and resentfully. "In the end, you're lucky to have someone in your family. Yun Zhan is already eight years old. Sigh!”Mother said. "I thought that he would not make things difficult for us if we were to get engaged to the merchant Li family or the hereditary Chen family. In the end, the Li family came to our door three times and was rejected by him. He even kicked them out, completely chilling their hearts.”Aunt Xiao said anxiously.
I turned around and walked into the room in a daze. I closed the door and hid under the blanket to cry. Why is my life so bitter? Why? In my previous life, I didn't have a warm family. My father didn't love me, and my mother died early. In my previous life, none of my colleagues, teachers, and seniors were close to me. I even endured it in front of my mother. Why did they treat me like this? I worked hard to take care of my mother and finally graduated to become a director, but my mother still left. He was also trapped in a different world. Without a happy family, without an independent marriage, and living in poverty, even African refugees had human rights. However, in this dynasty where men were superior to women, there was no freedom and nothing was difficult. What use was my so-called high-education and high-paying career? Marry Old Man Liu? Is the seventh concubine going to the house to fight? Am I going to marry such a person? I hated that I didn't want it and that I didn't want it. I even had a terrifying guess in my heart, but I was also secretly happy. My father is Abihuai, although I have never met him. Then I am An Lingrong! Could it be that An Lingrong? Would he? If I were that An Lingrong, would I take that path? One had to know that no matter if it was in a novel or a television series, it would not end well! If not, where should I go? God, tell me, why did you ask me to come here? I got up and silently looked at the sky through the window.。
About two hours later, his mother and Concubine Xiao pushed open the door and entered. As if they had agreed, they did not look as sad as before. Concubine Xiao walked forward and called out,"Ling Rong, are you alright? What are you thinking about?" If you don't rest well, your body will be weak!”This caring tone that sounded like a sigh made my body tremble violently. How can I blame myself for someone who cares so much about me? Wouldn't this make Mother worry and make Concubine Xiao feel awkward? I stabilized my emotions, turned around and smiled." Aunt Xiao, you're here! Ling Rong was fine! Hurry up and sit down. It's Ling Rong's fault that you've been worried about these days! I know I'm wrong! Mother, sit too!" The words of comfort were the two women's eyes turning red again. Concubine Xiao sat beside me and stared at my face carefully. She smiled with satisfaction and gently stroked my hand." Ling Rong has grown up. He's a good child. He's becoming more and more sensible. Concubine Xiao is very happy!”Mother also smiled and said," Yes, I know how to be polite when I'm sick. It's time to get married!" I panicked and couldn't help but say," Mother, I'm still young. I don't want to get married. I can't bear to part with you!”Did they realize that I'm not the real me? "You're still young? You're already a 16-year-old girl!”Aunt Xiao couldn't help but tease. This teasing tone made me heave a sigh of relief. However, he was even more shocked. What should I do, what should I do? She really wasn't considered young in ancient times. Mother looked at my helpless face and said with a straight face," Ling Rong, Mother also can't bear to part with you, but when a woman is of age, she should marry, but your father, alas, your Aunt Xiao and I have already thought it over carefully for you. The Son of Heaven's triennial selection has already begun. Your Aunt Xiao and I have decided that you should go to the selection and have already registered with the yamen." The auspicious day was August 20th. It was only April in the lunar calendar, so there were only four months left. Four months isn't a lot. Songyang County is at least a month away from the Forbidden City. Not to mention that the selection process is one level after another, and the final selection is the palace selection. You really only have less than two months left. Sigh, your father is anxious for you to marry Old Liu. It's probably more than a month later. We applied behind his back. So you can only stay at home until next month!”After saying that, he frowned with a face full of pain and reluctance, and his eyes were filled with tears. My heart is in a mess. Why? Could it be that he really had to go to the talent show? Go to the Forbidden City, where you don't even know how you died? A woman from a humble background who doesn't even know what she looks like? What qualifications? I struggled to get up and cried," Mother, YiNiang, the Forbidden City is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. The heavens are unpredictable. It's fine if I'm not favored, but what if I implicate my family?" Moreover, what if the talent show was unsuccessful? Mother and Concubine Xiao and I are not all--not all.。”Concubine Xiao's heart ached for him. She had watched him grow up, so she knew that it was not easy to get along with the Emperor. She could not help but tear up and say," Ling Rong, we have no other choice. Good child, my poor child. Don't you know your father's temper? He only has his concubines in his heart. He's determined to marry you to Old Man Liu! You must listen to us this time!" " I don't want it, I don't accept it. Why is my fate like this? I can't believe it. I looked up at my mother as if I was asking for help. At this moment, she couldn't even smile to comfort me. She could only cry and say nothing. I looked at Concubine Xiao, Mother, and myself. I slowly wiped my tears and bitterly said," Ling Rong knows. Ling Rong understands. It's Ling Rong who made Mother and Concubine Xiao worry."”Mother also wiped her tears but said seriously," There is no other way. I hope my son Ling Rong understands the painstaking efforts of Mother and YiNiang." Rest well. Mother has already delayed your Concubine Xiao for a long time.”I nodded expressionlessly. Aunt Xiao sighed and left the room with her mother without saying anything.
I looked up at the sun outside the window. In the end, I couldn't escape the fate of a boudoir woman.
I feel like I'm talking a lot of nonsense... Hopefully, it would be confirmed.
