Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity
Chapter 712 My Brother is Dead
Mo Qingwan brought the person back to Yue Mansion for settlement.
Although she has not been in the mansion recently, the maids and servants in the mansion still cleaned carefully, and both the courtyard and the house were clean and tidy.
Song Qiao was still carried in, but this time the way she was carried was different from the other way.
"Yue Mansion..." Song Qiao recalled the door plaque she had just seen, and heard the maid next to her calling Mo Qingwan "Madam". She thought for a moment and asked, "Master, is this your home?"
Mo Qingwan walked beside the stretcher and chuckled, "This is my husband's family, but my husband passed away before I married him. So there is no male owner in this house, and you are only staying here temporarily."
The husband...died before the marriage?
Song Qiao struggled to connect the dots, and her expression suddenly became extremely apologetic: "I said the wrong thing..."
Mo Qingwan is still not used to this title.
When Song Qiao was placed on the bed, Mo Qingwan rolled up his robe and sat beside the bed.
"Don't call me master." She tucked Song Qiao in and said seriously, "Don't call yourself a slave. I didn't buy you to serve me as a maid. I was moved by your sincerity. And it just so happens that you can read. If I guess correctly, you know quite a few words, right?"
Song Qiao was silent for a moment, then she spoke the truth softly, "I learned to read at the age of three, and I could recite poems at the age of five. By the time I was eight, I could read most articles."
From the perspective of many people, Song Qiao is extremely intelligent and might even be called a child prodigy.
But obviously, Tian Cuigu could never give her such educational conditions.
Next, Song Qiao told her own story.
Her original surname was not Song, but her given name was Qiao, Yan Qiao.
She had a happy family in her early years. Her parents were businessmen and her elder brother was a writer. She learned her calligraphy and knowledge from her elder brother and her teacher.
Because she was the youngest girl in the family, she was loved by her family very much. Other girls had to learn needlework, but she refused. Other girls had to be forced by strict nannies to read women's training, but she didn't.
Her eldest brother passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of eighteen, and she was eight years old that year.
The family was happy, and everyone felt that the Yan family could change its appearance in this generation and switch from business to government.
After that, she read her favorite books while learning to manage the family business from her parents. She thought that if her elder brother really became an official, she would be able to help a little bit if there was money in the family.
But when she was nine years old, something unexpected happened.
It was a beautiful day, and their family of four, along with their grandparents, went out for an outing and went up the mountain to worship Buddha.
The horse bandits who originally camped in the Huashan area secretly fled to the mountains - the mountain road is rugged and far away from the town, and those who can go up the mountain to worship Buddha are mostly wealthy families who can afford to hire porters.
On that day, the bandits got the news that a wealthy businessman had brought a whole box of gold and wanted to make a golden body for the Buddha statue.
That's not a whole box of gold.
Of course Yan Qiao remembered that she had heard from her elder brother that what the merchant brought was just gilded and fake.
That night, the mountain gate was closed, and the bandits who were waiting for an opportunity came out with knives in hand.
The promised box of gold turned out to be fake, and the bandits felt they were tricked. They flew into a rage and massacred the entire temple, including all the monks.
In order to give her and her elder brother a chance to survive, her grandparents and parents were slaughtered on the spot. She was wrapped in a quilt by her elder brother and thrown off a cliff in front of a group of robbers.
She still remembered what her elder brother said to her before he was hacked to death: "Nannan, hold on to the quilt and stay alive."
When she woke up, she didn't know whether she was frightened or fell, she couldn't remember anything, and she was picked up by Tian Cuigu.
Tian Cuigu and her husband had a son, but her son was a fool since birth and his husband died early. The family was extremely poor, so Tian Cuigu was always worried that her son would not be able to find a wife.
She fell from the sky and naturally became the child bride of the Song family.
But she didn't know, she knew nothing.
Tian Cuigu asked her to call her silly son brother. She always felt weird at that time because "brother" would just look at her with a silly smile and say that he would sleep with her in the future.
She is not feeling well.
She always felt that if she had a brother, things would not be like this, and she didn't like the brother she had now.
She was nine years old that year.
When she was ten years old, she was picking wild vegetables in the mountains. Her "brother" was taken by Tian Cuigu to the river to play in the water. The "brother" stepped on a piece of embroidered iron and pierced the sole of his foot.
Although Tian Cuigu felt sorry for her son, he was as strong as iron!
She took out the iron, put it away carefully, and applied herbs to the soles of her "brother's" feet and wrapped them with cloth.
But the next day, "brother" kept crying and saying he was not feeling well. Tian Cuigu thought he was injured and had a fever, so she made him another bowl of herbal water.
After a few more days, "brother" could not eat, his limbs became stiff, and he had difficulty breathing.
Tian Cuigu panicked. She found a pair of gold jewelry that looked out of place in this shabby house, and carried her "brother" on her back, wanting to go to town to see a doctor.
But the "brother" died on the way.
"Your brother is dead!" Tian Cui Gu seemed to collapse, hugging her dead "brother" and crying at her.
"Brother" is dead?
Yan Qiao was stunned.
My brother is dead.
Yan Qiao's ears suddenly exploded, and she fainted on the spot due to the stimulation of that sentence. There was a carousel in her mind, and she was confused for a long time. She didn't know what she did every day, nor did she know how long it had been.
The brother in the marquee also died, but not this stupid "brother".
She has a brother?
Others said that Tian Cuigu had a stupid son who died, and the child bride she adopted went crazy.
But Tian Cui Gu knew that Yan Qiao was not crazy, or rather, Yan Qiao was like this when she first picked her up, and later she seemed to have recovered on her own.
She took advantage of the time when Yan Qiao was confused and called the head of the village, saying that she wanted to put Yan Qiao on the household register.
The head of the village wanted to ask Yan Qiao if she was willing, but Yan Qiao ignored him and couldn't speak, as if she was really crazy.
Tian Cuigu said, "She is a crazy girl. If no one takes care of her, she will die outside in two days! Village head, I just lost my son. I will definitely treat this girl well. Please have pity on me!"
The head of the village sighed and let Tian Cuigu take Yan Qiao's thumb and sign it on the adoption certificate brought from the town.
From then on, Yan Qiao was Tian Cui Gu's daughter.
Some people thought that Tian Cui Gu suddenly became kind and adopted this poor girl.
But does anyone know what Tian Cuigu is planning?
Two years later, Yan Qiao was twelve. She was no longer crazy, but she still couldn't remember the past.
She did all the housework, even renovating the shabby house. She was diligent and even earned several hundred coins in a year, which she gave to Tian Cuigu.
Tian Cuigu started to arrange a marriage for her. She refused to marry anyone from the village or the town. In short, she refused to marry anyone who didn't have money.
She knew that Tian Cui Gu wanted to use her betrothal money to buy another son.
After all, raising children is a way to take care of you in your old age.
One ordinary day, she remembered.
She was fourteen that year.
Her name was not Song Qiao, but Yan Qiao. The gold jewelry that Tian Cuigu found that day was what she was wearing. She had parents, a brother, and grandparents, but they were all dead.
They all died at the hands of the bandits.
What about the horse bandits?
