Bondage

Jinshu wanted to say that when she went to the capital camp to see Li Chengzu on duty, she saw a courtyard near there.The yard was full of old people with gray complexions and no one to look after them.

After inquiring for a long time, she realized that all the servants who lived there were servants who had left the palace.

The servants are different from the maids. The maids are over 25 years old, or they can leave the palace and marry outside the palace if they have worked in the palace for ten years. However, due to their special status, the servants can only be confined to this red wall and yellow tiles for the rest of their lives.

Often the palace cannot afford so many expenses, and when they are old, most of them will be sent outside the palace to fend for themselves.

Most of those servants ended up miserable, and they were often bullied when they were left unattended.

She had seen it a few times, and although she couldn't bear it, she was helpless.

For some reason, Jin Shu couldn't bear to think that Wan Xiao Day might end up in the same situation.

She wanted to say that if Wan Xiao had no descendants in the future, maybe her children would help him when he was old.

But as soon as these words came to his lips, Jin Shu felt very inappropriate.

With his high status, he shouldn't have ended up like that no matter what.Saying this by yourself will only be regarded as flattery and flattery.

After thinking for a while, Jin Shu raised a smile: "Minnv wants to tell Lord Wan that Minnv has changed her name. If we meet next time, Lord Wan can call Minnv Taoqian."

Wan Xiao was slightly taken aback, and after a long time, Fang smiled faintly: "Tao Qian."

"Hey."

Jin Shu grinned foolishly, then raised his hand and waved at Wan Xiao: "Your Majesty Wan Du is busy, so you don't need to send it off anymore. The girl in front of you can just leave by herself. You should go back soon."

"it is good."

Wan Xiao nodded, turned around and strode towards the palace.

Jin Shu looked at his back and smiled sweetly, then turned and walked out of the palace.

Hearing the sound of that person's footsteps fading away, Wan Xiao stopped and stood there for a long time.

But he never looked back from beginning to end.

"Brother Chengzu."

Walking out of the palace gate, Jinshu saw Li Chengzu sitting on the wooden cart, sweating profusely.

He has a dull and honest personality, he won't move even a minute after he tells her where to wait for her, Jin Shu can't help but feel distressed when he sees his cheeks flushed from the sun.

"Why don't you find a shady place to wait for me?"

Li Chengzu said: "I'm afraid you won't see me when you go out of the palace. You go up, and I will push you back home."

"I don't have to go by myself."

Li Chengzu shook his head: "Sit down, you are pregnant and there are many nobles in the palace, there will be no place for you to rest for most of the day."

Pulling the hemp mat on the wooden cart to Jinshu, Li Chengzu half pulled and half helped the man onto the cart.

Under the scorching sun, the man pushed the wooden cart and his face was tanned purple. Jin Shu was very distressed. He wanted to get out of the cart several times, but was stopped by Li Chengzu.

He lowered his head to look at Jin Shu who was full of distressed eyes, and wiped his sweat with his sleeve with a smile.

This is his wife and children, and he never felt it was a burden.

In the past, he was bullied without a name and name, but now he can live an ordinary life with the grace of heaven, which is enough for him to be grateful.

Although the name is fake, but the current life is real and that is enough.

He raised his hand and handed the large lotus leaf on the cart to Jin Shu, Li Chengzu said: "You cover it up, the sun is shining."

"I'll cover it up for brother Chengzu."

Lift the lotus leaf high and place it between the two of them, even if it doesn't bring shade to any of them, the young couple will feel very comfortable.

"By the way, Brother Chengzu, today I entered the palace to meet Master Wan Duzhu, and he told me not to enter the palace again to see my empress, why?"

"I know he's doing it for my own good, but I can't figure out the reason for it."

Li Chengzu looked down at the innocent brocade book, and said with a smile: "Your status is different now, if you enter the palace to see nobles, you will think that you have something to ask for."

"And if you let your relatives and friends know that you have this kind of friendship with the current empress, it will only harm and not benefit."

Their status is low, and they can't protect this kindness, and being known will only increase their troubles.

Jin Shu thought for a moment and understood the reason.

"I know, I won't enter the palace after that day."

Jin Shu thought for a while and said, "Brother Chengzu, if you are free tomorrow, maybe you can go to the semi-desolate courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing? I think I will make some pork buns for those old... people tomorrow. "

"it is good."

"Brother Chengzu."

"Ok?"

Li Chengzu concentrated on pushing the cart, trying not to let it bump.

"After I saw the old man in the yard, I always felt uncomfortable. If the future governor also falls to that level, can I let our child take care of him until he dies?"

"He took good care of me when I was in the palace, and he helped me find you. If he is really in such a mess, I think it's best for us to help."

But she can't make up her own mind about this matter, she has to ask her husband.

"nature."

Li Chengzu's hand pushing the cart was unusually steady, and his tone was a bit natural: "Accepting others' kindness and returning others' favors is the way of the world. It is right for you to do so."

"I thought so too."

When Jin Shu heard this, his brows and eyes were full of smiles.

She looked at her husband, and finally couldn't help but blushed and touched Li Chengzu's hand pushing the cart.

The man lowered his head and smiled innocently.

"If we pass by a pickle shop, how about we go and buy some pickles? The eight-treasure radish you love seems to have bottomed out, and I always want to eat some sweet and sour these days."

"to make."

"I still need to buy some soft cloths. It's time to prepare things for the baby this month. I was lazy before, and it's hard to sit or lie down these days. I think I can do some light work."

"to make."

"I also want to give you another pair of short boots. The ones I made before were thicker, but now I can't wear them anymore..."

"I also need to sew a pair of soft soles myself."

"Aunt Li said that the legs and feet will be swollen in a few months, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wear the old shoes."

Li Chengzu's temperament was dull, he just went all the way, thinking non-stop, Jin Shu sat in the car, thinking about the things that needed to be prepared in the past few months, and he kept them firmly in mind.

It wasn't until the two had bought everything that they returned home to rest.

Wan Xiao went back to the palace to look for Ji Rong after sending away Jin Shu.

Now Ji Rong is Shen Qianyu's eunuch, although he is very busy on weekdays, when he sees him, he immediately puts down his work.

"What's wrong with you?"

Swinging away everyone around him, he looked helplessly at Wan Xiao's different appearance from usual, and sighed slightly.

"I just heard from the eunuch of Changle Palace that Jin Shu entered the palace today."

"Did you see her?"

"Well, I see."

Ji Rong asked, "How is she doing?"

Wan Xiao smiled lightly: "You're doing well, I should thank you."

"That man is a kind person. He treated Jinshu very well. If he wants to come to Jinshu's father's family to know him, he can finally rest in peace."

The two of them walked through the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. This idea is always accurate in judging people.

Ji Rong smiled lightly when he heard the words: "It's better if you don't blame me."

"Why do you blame you?"

After saying this, Wan Xiao patted Jirong's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Speaking of which, I have something else I want to trouble you with."
