Chapter 146 Extra Story 2: Zhao Ruyue

When the war broke out, the county magistrate's family hurriedly moved away.Zhao Ruyue was originally the most favored concubine in the house, and she was more well prepared.After choosing for a long time, Zhao Ruyue finally picked out the most important thing, which was a whole carriage of soft goods.Others share a carriage with two or three concubines.It can also be seen that Zhao Ruyue is fancy.

At first, because status was important, although Zhao Ruyue also lived a life of homelessness, she was quite comfortable.

At the beginning, they took out more than 300 miles. Not long after they rented a yard to settle down, there was news that the rebels had gone further.I had no choice but to go all the way south.

There is a large population here, and every step is worth money, but they are away from home and have no income.Although the county magistrate said that his family was rich, seeing so much money going out like water, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

It was also at this time that Zhao Ruyue's status became more and more embarrassing.In the past, she was favored because she was young, and because of Shen Tianzhan, and there were more reasons for this.Now that he is outside, Shen Tianzhan is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself.This Zhao Ruyue had no backing, and became more cautious in her actions.

But her honesty doesn't mean others are willing to watch.Obviously, she was careful to hide, and those concubines who were already jealous of her came to find fault with her one by one.

Zhao Ruyue is not a person who just sits and waits to die, and the Qianjin's family fortune will be wiped out one day during the war.There are many wives and concubines in the county magistrate, many children, sons also have wives and concubines, plus the people served by each master, this adds up to two or three hundred people, and the total amount of money consumed every day at this time is a huge sum.

You can't wait for the county magistrate to deal with them one by one when you have no money.

It is impossible for Zhao Ruyue to run away with money on her own, and the world will soon be in chaos. A woman with money outside is just a piece of fat on the cutting board.

Finally, I arrived at another stop and stayed at the inn.No one could sleep in the middle of the night, so Zhao Ruyue knocked on the door of the eldest girl and his wife on the pretext of going out to have a rest.

There are not enough guest rooms, and basically all of them can squeeze together and sleep together.

"Ma'am, Miss!" Zhao Ruyue saluted politely as she entered the room.

"You still have to hurry tomorrow, why don't you go to bed at this time?" The eldest girl looked puzzled.

Zhao Ruyue sighed before arriving: "Where can I sleep? These days I've been thinking a lot, and I've been caught by my thoughts. Let me tell you something, if the madam and the eldest girl find it useful, then they will listen. When I didn't say anything."

"You tell me." Madam also met old-fashioned recently.I've lived my whole life well, and now I'm getting old, and I've encountered this kind of thing.

Zhao Ruyue looked around and said in a low voice: "There are quite a few people in our team, and the daily expenses are a huge sum. But I don't know when it will be quiet. Taking a step back, even if the world is really peaceful , It’s hard to say what the surname is in this world. If you don’t know the place well, how can you support such a big family with the master alone?”

Madam's eyes were slightly cold: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Ruyue said: "Let me speak a few words boldly. Our female family members are no more important than the second master. When there is a real shortage, the servants are the first, and the rest are the girls' concubines. Our eldest daughter He is favored, but compared to the old and the second, we know in our hearts who the old man chooses."

In the long run, it does.Madam's eyes were dim, and she sighed: "In your opinion?"

"It's my humble opinion, it's better to wait until the next time to settle down, and find a decent husband for the eldest girl to marry as soon as possible. There is no need to find a rich and powerful family. The world is in chaos, and the more noble the family, the more dangerous it is Finding an honest and stable family will give the eldest girl a way out from now on. It's hard to say what the future will be like, but the eldest girl will take care of it, and Madam, you feel at ease."

This idea is very thoughtful, and Madam also began to think about it.The eldest girl is the treasure of the family, and she has been holding it in the palm of her hand since she was a child.At the beginning, she intended to betroth him to Er Gouzi, but it didn't work out so much that the eldest girl was so ashamed and indignant that she refused to marry now.Just waiting for the war to break out, they fled together.

It's okay for now, but if the family is still wandering in another year or a half, the eldest girl will become a burden.Right now, it's better to marry someone out quickly, and find a lower family with more dowry, so that the life in the future will be easier.

The madam looked at the eldest girl, the eldest girl is not stupid, she understood that this is the best way at the moment.

The eldest girl nodded and agreed.

Zhao Ruyue smiled a little more, and then she stood up straight and knelt down: "If the eldest girl is married, the servants only want to go there together as maids."

From a concubine to a slave.Zhao Ruyue is greedy and ambitious.But he is also a person who can see the facts clearly.

Madam's eyes turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Ruyue lowered her posture as much as possible, and said: "If the eldest girl marries to a strange place, she will definitely need help to gain a firm foothold. The slaves boast that they are thoughtful and can help the eldest girl. In the future, the dowry of the eldest girl will also be the basis for her to maintain her status , servants can help her keep the dowry."

Madam took a deep breath, if the elder girl got married at this time, she would not know where her mother's family would be wandering.Even if there is a dowry, it is still a mermaid.It would be great if there is a thoughtful help.

Afraid of luring wolves into the house.

"Don't forget, you are already the master's concubine! You are already a woman!"

Zhao Ruyue knew that this was the best way out for her right now, if she didn't leave, the other concubines would definitely not be able to accommodate him.And the county magistrate would only turn a blind eye.

Zhao Ruyue loosened her hair, and directly cut off her top-notch hair with scissors: "I am willing to shave my hair and become a nun! As long as I can leave with the eldest girl!"

How many women regard a full head of hair as their life.Zhao Ruyue's daring to do this also represented her determination to leave.

The eldest girl thought about it a few times, and stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Ruyue up: "It's a pity to cut your hair properly. Mother, my daughter has thought about it, and the left and right daughters are also at the age of marriage. Instead of wandering around, it's better to greet others." Settle down. Left and right are family members, so it's not the same who you marry?"

Zhao Ruyue made the right bet. ; Two months later, the family once again temporarily settled somewhere in the south.The eldest lady looked for a few matchmakers to find out about the marriage.There are no high doors, not even those who are too wealthy.

Only in a relatively remote place, she married a wealthy family in that village.

It is said that they are wealthy households, but in fact they can only hire two long-term workers.The eldest girl brought two young servants and four servant girls, one of which was Zhao Ruyue.Married on a sunny winter day with a generous dowry.

Zhao Ruyue remembered that it was the back of the concubine's tongue that had been chewed to pieces.What about the big girl with golden branches and jade leaves, but now she is the worst fake.In the future, I just wait for stability, and the concubine daughter born by myself will definitely marry better than her.

Not to mention Zhao Ruyue, as a concubine and as a dowry for an older girl, she might have to give it to a new son-in-law in the future.

The big girl's dowry is definitely much richer than that of her husband's.The husband is fairly honest, but the mother-in-law and several sister-in-laws are greedy.Deliberately bullying the eldest girl's foundation is not stable, and wanting to take advantage of the eldest girl, these six servants are protecting her, and no one can take advantage of it.

Not long after, the chaos of war was coming again, the county magistrate's family fled again, and the eldest girl completely cut off news from her family.

It's about to call, and those with some money will suffer first.The eldest girl and Zhao Ruyue found a place to bury the dowry in the back mountain ahead of time. Later, almost all of her husband's family property was searched. After a few years, the war completely subsided, so the dowry was brought out.Since then, the whole family has accused the eldest girl of going too far alone, and with the eldest girl's good means, no one dares to do anything wrong.

Zhao Ruyue has been working hard in her previous life, and she is unwilling to be mediocre.Later, the eldest girl gave money to encourage her husband to start a business while everything was waiting to be done, and earned a lot of money.Later, she was still thinking about Zhao Ruyue, and it was a commercial marriage. Zhao Ruyue married a second time as a widow at the age of 19, and her husband was in his 30s, but the family was sparse and the house was peaceful.

In the next few years, Zhao Ruyue gave birth to several children in a row to stabilize her identity.The following days have been stable.

Later, she went out to do business with her husband and passed by the county where she was born.I went to the village on purpose.Seeing that her parents are still there, but not her sister.I just glanced at it, didn't know much about it, and left in a hurry.

Zhao Ruyue has calculated a lot in her life, but she is smart and can see right from wrong.Maybe it's God's grace, and the days to come will be smooth sailing.

The author has something to say: I wanted to add more, but because the list can only be completed in advance~~

Is this the last update of this article?

The reason why these two women are reported is a little selfish of mine.The four most representative women in the article.Yingzi is soft in size, and her life experience is a little rough.It's just that God has blessed her with a good life and a happy ending.At the same time, she's not a saint of personal calculations.Don't hurt yourself for others.This is one of the reasons for her happiness in this life

Li Qiaoer is not considered miserable, she can only be said to be a very ordinary woman in the old society.Her mother loves her but has no opinion, her father is only interested in profit, and when he is insane, he doesn't even care about her happiness.At the same time, she is a forward-thinking girl.I would rather support myself than be attached to anyone, and even less willing to compromise and marry indiscriminately.

Zhao Ruyue is a purely pitiful person who must be hated.In fact, she had many opportunities to live an ordinary life, but because of her ambition, she made a mess at the beginning.It was her luck to meet fourth uncle.She also seized this luck and took the lead further.In troubled times, her ending is definitely the best.

The role of Zhang Xue, in fact, since the creation, I thought about giving her a role in the later scenes.It's just that it always goes later, so that the ending comes out.This person has grown up purely in an environment of calculations for a long time, and does not believe in true feelings, so the first time he faces anyone is calculations.Coupled with her experience since she was a child, her mood is not pure anymore, and it is difficult to really treat someone well.So when faced with Yingzi's kindness, her first reaction was how to get more benefits.
