Open the simple mode after wearing the book

The first emperor died of illness five years after his reign. The current emperor is benevolent, and the people's life is getting better and better, but natural disasters come suddenly.

In this year, Jiang Hong was 14 years old. She hadn't eaten for a long time and was about to starve to death.

She tried her best to support herself, fearing that she would never wake up after passing out, and finally become one of the many bones on the side of the road.

But she was so tired and sleepy that she fell down on the side of the road with a thud, the sun was still high, and she didn't pay attention to the tragedy that happened on this land.

Jiang Hong's eyes turned black. She wanted to drink water and eat, but she no longer had the strength to make a sound.

"Mommy, what happened to that man?"

At this time, a voice came to Jiang Hong's ears, which seemed to be far away but also very close, with the innocence and curiosity of a little girl.

Hu Yu looked worried at Jiang Hong who was lying on the ground. She turned her head to look at Mammy who was holding her hand: "Mammy, she seems to be suffering, let's go and save her."

Encountering such a thing just after leaving the city, Mammy felt troubled in her heart, she patiently persuaded Hu Yu to let her give up this idea.

"Miss, this person is just tired, there will be no big problem, let's not disturb his sleep."

Hu Yu is seven years old this year, and she has the ability to think of her own. She broke away from Mammy's hand and walked up to see if it was true as Mammy said, but just fell asleep.

Jiang Hong listened to all their conversations, hope was ignited in Jiang Hong's heart, she opened her eyes desperately, and what imprinted in her eyes was a pair of small yellow embroidered shoes.

Hu Yu squatted down, and when she saw the "sleeping" person slowly opened his eyes, she tentatively asked, "Are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

With the chance of survival at hand, Jiang Hong struggled to say three words: "Save...save me."

Hu Yu didn't listen to Mammy's dissuasion and insisted on taking Jiang Hong back. Although the members of the Hu family didn't agree with her saving Jiang Hong, Hu Yu insisted on saving them so he didn't stop her anymore.

After all, for the Hu family with a big family and a big business, this is just a small matter of eating more food.

When Jiang Hong opened her eyes, she saw a strange scene in front of her. The quilt here was so soft, she hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time.

She was in a trance, "Have I already arrived in heaven?"

"Pfft, little sister, you are not stupid, are you?"

Seeing Jiang Hong's bewildered look, Hu Yu couldn't help laughing at her. Later, he thought that this person was in such poor health that he couldn't laugh at her like that.

So she apologized again: "Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you."

Jiang Hong looked at the little girl sitting by the bed, she was the daughter of a wealthy family, and her voice seemed to be the one who saved her.

Jiang Hong's voice was weak, and she thanked Hu Yu: "Miss Xie for saving her life."

Hu Yu waved his hand and jumped off the bench: "Oh, if you want to thank me, just be my playmate. I think you should be younger than me, right! How old are you?"

"14 is old."

"Hiss! 14 years old? Much older than me, but why are you so young?"

Of course, it goes without saying that Jiang Hong's family was not very well-off before the drought, and she was a little malnourished. What's more, the drought took away all her family members and tortured her like this.

Hu Yu still couldn't believe it, "Don't lie to me, it's not a good boy to lie to others."

This coaxing tone made Jiang Hong want to laugh, but she didn't have the energy to laugh out loud, so she could only lift the corner of her mouth lightly.

Sensing that Jiang Hong's state was not right, Hu Yu guessed that she must be hungry, after all, her stomach was always rumbling when she was asleep.

"Hungry, I'll ask them to help you get something here, and play with me when you regain your strength."

Hu Yu wanted to call Jiang Hong, but suddenly realized that he still didn't know her name, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Jiang Hong."

"Hi Jiang Hong, my name is Hu Yu, you can call me Yu'er."

Looking at the girl's outstretched hand, Jiang Hong gently shook it.

Jiang Hong's body gradually improved under Hu Yu's care. She and Hu Yu sat on the stone bench and chatted.

Hu Yu has the unique liveliness of this age, and just some trivial things can make her happy, such as now, she is talking to Jiang Hong cheerfully.

"Did you know? I have an older brother who is very good-looking. His name is Hu Liao. I will take you to meet him some other day!"

After thinking for a while, she seemed to be a little puzzled, she propped her head and asked, "I don't know why Daddy doesn't like such a good-looking person."

Jiang Hong shook her head: "Maybe it's because of his personality, so the master doesn't like him."

Hu Yu disagreed: "No! Brother Liao is a nice person, he always brings me candied haws, even though mother said that eating candied haws will hurt my stomach, so let me play less with Brother Liao."

Jiang Hong is not as naive as Hu Yu. She has deeply felt that Hu Yu is a special case in this family during the period of time she stayed in the house.

But Jiang Hong didn't want to talk too much with Hu Yu, so she started to change the subject: "Miss, do you want candied haws? I'll help you buy them."

"Okay! Sister Hong, you are so kind!"

But when Jiang Hong came back, everything changed. The Hu family was sentenced to be executed for embezzling disaster relief money.

When Jiang Hong went back, she saw countless Hu family members being pushed out of the mansion by officers and soldiers, and Hu Yu was among them. It seemed that she was frightened.

Jiang Hong threw away the candied haws in his hand and wanted to bring Hu Yu down.

The detaining officers and soldiers pushed Jiang Hong away: "Is this also from the Hu family? Take them away together."

Hu Yu explained in a low voice, "No, she has nothing to do with the Hu family."

Because Jiang Hong was not a slave, the officers and soldiers let her go after finding out.

Since then, Jiang Hong has been wandering, and happened to worship a thief as her master, and she has been looking for Hu Yu since she left the teacher.

But the imperial court was strict, and no one knew where Hu Yu had gone. Jiang Hong didn't want to give up. She kept searching and searching, and finally got the news.

Hu Yu lived in the Drunken Red Mansion in the capital, and now her name is Liniang.

Jiang Hong was ecstatic, she packed her little luggage and rushed all the way to the capital.

Jiang Hong wanted to rescue Hu Yu. One night, she pushed open the window of Liniang's room, stood outside the window and said to the astonished people in the room, "Yu'er, come with me."

It's a pity that Yu'er has changed, she didn't follow, but called thugs to drive Jiang Hong out.

Jiang Hong didn't give up, she watched Yu'er play the piano silently, watched her dance silently, and stood up when some prodigal sons bullied her.

She would often buy flowers and put them in Yu'er's window, and the way she looked at Yu'er gradually changed from cold to gentle.

"You don't have to send flowers every day. If you pick them off, they will wither. It's better to let them stay."

Although Yu'er said so, there was no sign of blame on her face.

Jiang Hong sat at the table and looked at her, "Anyway, it's always going to dry up, isn't there a saying? Huh? What's it called?"

Jiang Hong racked her brains and couldn't figure out what that line of poetry was.

Liniang put hibiscus flowers in a vase in front of the window, "If you have flowers, you can break them straight, don't wait until you have no flowers to break them."

"That's right! That's the sentence, Yu'er, you know a lot."

Li Niang's eyes flickered, "I am Li Niang now."

But in Jiang Hong's heart, Yu'er is Yu'er, and she thinks that Yu'er said this because she is stuck in the mud and can never go back to the past.

So she replied solemnly: "You have always been Yu'er in my heart, and you have never changed."

Liniang didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Hong quietly, then she lowered her eyes.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jiang Hong took down the hibiscus flower in front of the window and put it on Yu'er's head, "Sure enough, this flower looks best with Yu'er."

Liniang touched the hibiscus flower on her head, but she felt a bit bitter when she saw the smile of the person in front of her. She calmed down and said, "There are aphids on this flower."

Unexpectedly, she did something bad with good intentions. Jiang Hong wanted to take the flowers down but was caught by Liniang. Liniang smiled and said, "It's okay, that's it, it's good."

The events of the past seemed to be right in front of us, and after Yu'er passed away, Jiang Hong desperately searched for the murderer, and finally avenged her.

When the murderer was dying, he told Jiang Hong: Yu'er liked her the most, and hoped that she could choose to forget and live a better life.

After the change of dynasty, Jiang Hong was no longer a criminal of the imperial court, and she came to Zuihonglou again.

The Zuihonglou was covered with seals, and I heard that many people inside were Yuchao's spies.

Jiang Hong jumped up, it was the place where Yu'er lived before her death, the furnishings in the room were all the same, but every item was covered with a thick layer of dust.

The vase in front of the window was still in good condition, and Jiang Hong inserted the hibiscus in her hand: "This time the flowers have been washed, and there will be absolutely no aphids. I will put them away for you."

"I will listen carefully to what you say. I have been practicing calligraphy."

"Actually, I'm not stupid. I know you are saying that my handwriting is ugly, but you are so gentle, I just want to act with you."

"This time... I don't dare to eat candied haws again."

Holding back her tears, Jiang Hong told herself not to cry, and she choked up: "You, you must have a happy life in your next life."

In the end, she cleaned the room inside and out again. There was so much dust that she coughed twice.

Jiang Hong wiped her face with her hands, and there were five black marks on her already dusty face. She didn't care, and continued to clean the room.

After cleaning up, Jiang Hong looked at the brand new room and smiled. She jumped out of the window, took a last look at the room, and gently closed the window.

The hibiscus flowers in the window are delicate and beautiful, and because Jiang Hong washed them, there are still drops of water on the petals.

Drops of water slid down the petals and landed on the table, as if someone was crying.
