The life experience of Rong Jian

No one who still knows the truth about this incident back then is still alive.

Rong Jian's mother is Jiang Wenzhi.

It's really weird for a girl's family to be called this name, but she likes this name very much.

The year she met Wu Zhuo, she was still a little girl without a name, and she accompanied her mother to sell things at the gate of Taixue, sometimes fruit, sometimes snacks, and fresh meat pies.

In short, it depends on the season. The students in Taixue or the students' book boys and boys will sell whatever they like to eat at that season.

Little girl Jiang has three older sisters and a younger brother, so she is the one who is neglected.

If one day I get lost after her mother, her mother will probably just look back and look for her, and she won't even feel hurt for her if she doesn't find her.

And the family didn't give her a name, so she was called Si Ya'er, which just meant that she was the fourth girl in the family.

Of the three older sisters above, two survived. The third fell into the river and drowned when he was over two years old. The family didn't even go to claim the body, so they let the government bury it. After all, it takes money to bury a little girl. I really don't want to take that money out.

Her family is refugees fleeing from outside to Beijing. Her father is a jerk who can't do anything but eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. The family is supported by her mother.

The so-called home is nothing more than two small grass sheds in an alley in the southeast of the city.

There was a big fire in the capital, so the court officials proposed to rectify the security of the capital, set up firewalls, dig more wells, and not allow thatched sheds, etc.

As a result, her family didn't even have a house.

That's when I met Wu Zhuo.

He is the most dazzling student in Taixue.

Siya'er, who was covered in filth, thought he was a fairy in the sky when she saw him for the first time, or that the fairy in the sky couldn't be as good-looking as him.

She never felt that she was living in the dirt before, but after seeing him, her little daughter's mind moved for the first time, and she felt that she was very shameful and wanted to hide. She didn't know there was a word at that time To specifically describe her thoughts at this time is to be ashamed.

Wu Zhuo probably didn't notice her, she was so short, and Wu Zhuo in his youth was already slender and tall, like a Zhilan Yushu, handsome and not like ordinary people, a lot of students circled around him, how could he see how humble he was in the mud The Siyaer who went.

There are students who buy fruit from Siyaer's mother. Although her mother is not considered a great beauty, she is still pretty and tall, she is quick in doing things, and has a good attitude towards selling things. The students love to buy from her.

But this time she said that she would not be able to sell it in a few days.

The students were surprised and asked why.

Her mother said, "It is not allowed to live in thatched houses in the capital. Our house has no money to build tiles, so it will be demolished. The government will compensate a little money, and our family will move to live outside the city and sell it along the official road." With some food, you can also live."

The students are almost all the children of high-ranking officials and wealthy families, and they are still young, so they have a lot of sympathy. The students said, "Wait a minute, I will ask the students to pool some money, and you can use it to change the house into a tile-roofed house. Bar."

He was very mobile, and he turned around to collect donations. Everyone was not short of money, so they were all willing to give alms, and finally raised fifty taels of silver.

This is really a lot of money, not to mention just changing two thatched houses, it is enough to buy a brick house in a place where the terrain is not very good.

The student was about to give the money to Si Yaer's mother. At this time, Wu Zhuo came over and stopped the kind student's behavior.

Everyone was surprised.

But I heard Wu Zhuo say, "This sister-in-law, last time I saw her husband come to take money to gamble, and if he didn't give it, he would beat someone. I think you gave her the money, and she couldn't keep it. She will be punished by her." The husband took it for a gamble, and you didn't help her by giving it to her like this."

Now everyone is talking about what to do.

Wu Zhuo then said, "It's easy to handle. My family has a house on the other side of Yangpeng Street, which is specially used for subletting. With such a few people in her family, I think renting one or two rooms should be enough. 50 taels of silver, I count. She is cheaper by one or two per month, and can rent for fifty months, which is in the early four years. At that time, her family will probably have some spare money, but she can figure out her own way. What do you think?"

Most people think this method is just right, but some people say, "Since this is the case, why do you need to charge another 50 taels of silver, just let her live in her house. Do you still care about the 50 taels of silver?"

The Wu family has always been a big businessman. Even the founding emperor borrowed money from his family, which shows that he is rich. The sheeppeng street, as you can tell from the name, used to be used to keep the sheep brought to the capital from outside, but After the capital was settled here, the capital continued to expand outwards, and Yangpeng Street became a place not far from the edge of the imperial city. Naturally, it can no longer be used to keep sheep. The properties on this street are all owned by the Wu family. Some are used as shops, and some are rented out to people who want to live there.For ordinary people to rent, it is absolutely impossible to rent two rooms for one tael a month, no matter what, it will cost four or five taels.

Wu Zhuo said, "The house on Yangpeng Street, no matter how long it takes four or five taels a month for two rooms, it's nothing if I charge her a tael of silver. Besides, if I don't charge a penny, I will meet this person again in the future." In such a situation, you say whether I should take care of it or not. If I do, how can my family have the power to take care of the poor people all over the world?

Wu Zhuo was originally an eloquent talent. If he said a few words casually, everyone would have nothing to say.

So, the Jiang family moved to the Wu family's house on Yangpeng Street. It was a house in an alley and shared a yard with others, but the house was spacious and bright. Compared with thatched sheds, this place is heaven.

Wu Zhuo not only gave their family a good house, but also sent some rice noodles. Once he came here to check the account books, it was in Qianjie, and when he met her father and beat her mother, he acted righteously, saying that If father doesn't know what to do again, he will chop off his hands and feet.

He kept his word, and later, Si Ya'er's father became lame because both legs were broken.

Si Ya'er couldn't hate Wu Zhuo, because her father became crippled, and the family situation gradually improved. It was much better for him to have someone take care of him at home than to go out to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

In Si Ya'er's heart, she didn't even dare to like Wu Zhuo, because he was a fairy official in the sky, and she was just a little girl who rolled in the mud underground.

He asked her name once, and she was ashamed and said, "My name is Siyaer."

She knew that the name was too shameful.

Wu Zhuo didn't care, and said, "That's not a good name, let me get one for you."

She was very happy and quickly thanked her. Wu Zhuo asked her, "Do you have any wishes?"

She couldn't tell why, but said, "It would be great if I could be a boy and go to the Taixue School."

Wu Zhuo smiled, with bright eyes and white teeth, like the moonlight, "That's called Wenzhi. Your surname is Jiang, so your name is Jiang Wenzhi."

She happily wrote it down, and he also wrote her name for her to read.

This year Jiang Wenzhi was only seven years old and Wu Zhuo was 16 years old.

Jiang Wenzhi is a hard-working child, not the same as those little girls in the alley who love beauty and coquettishness. She likes to read and read. The first thing she knew was her own name. When she knew her, she wrote on the ground with a stick. Before long, she will write almost all the shop signs around her.

The house on Yangpeng Street is managed by Wu Zhuo himself, so Jiang Wenzhi can often see him. When he knew that the little girl of the Jiang family could actually read the shop signs and read by herself, he must have felt different. Impressions.

There are many wealthy families with wives for their children, but no one is willing to study hard, and Jiang Wenzhi is just a woman, and she has no conditions, but she is willing to learn to read.

Besides, Jiang Wenzhi ran with her mother all day long, and when she wasn't selling things with her mother, she had to do various jobs at home, so she didn't look like a girl.

Wu Zhuo gave her a chance again, he was the noble person in her life, if it wasn't for him, she didn't know what her life would be like.

Jiang Wenzhi went to work as an apprentice in the Wu family's calligraphy, painting, and stationery shop. She was only eight years old, and she was already very sensible. She dressed up as a boy, helped out there every day, and earned [-] wen a month.

Later, she knew that apprentices would not pay wages at the beginning, and it would be nice to be able to cover food and lodging, and her money was given to her by the young master.

She learned a lot from the old buddies in the shop. Although it was all superficial, it changed her temperament.

She worked in the shop until she was 13 years old, from a dirty little girl to a slim girl.

When you grow up to be a girl, you can't work in the shop, because the shop doesn't accept girls as clerks.

At this time, Wu Zhuo was also married, and he had passed the Jinshi examination a few years ago and became an official in the court. After that, he rarely came to Yangpeng Street, and Jiang Wenzhi rarely saw him.

This year is also the year when Concubine Wu Gui, who will be the most favored in the harem in the future, enters the palace.

Concubine Wu Guifei is Wu Zhuo's younger sister, Jiang Wenzhi was also happy for Wu Zhuo after knowing this.

Wu Zhuo is already married. Jiang Wenzhi has never met his wife, but he thought in his dream that she must be a beautiful and gentle woman who is just right for Wu Zhuo.

Her daughter's thoughts are all inappropriate, because she deserves him.

Because she can no longer stay in the stationery shop as a waiter, and when she gets home, she can only wait to get married. However, she doesn't want to get married, and she was recruiting maids in the palace, so she went to sign up.

She was tall, elegant, handsome, and very good at talking, and she was selected without even paying for it.

She entered the palace as a maid of honor.

Because of her excellence, she was chosen to go to the queen's palace, but the queen was not favored in the palace. Because she was an outsider, the queen was very exclusive, so she only did some cleaning. However, she was not a high-minded person. What she thinks is to stay in the palace until she is 25 years old, save some money, and don't need to marry when she leaves the palace. She lives as an old girl. Her parents' marriage makes her look down on marriage. If her husband is not good, In the future, life will be more difficult than living alone, and her mother is an example.

Because of her lack of ambition, her life in the palace was also very good in her opinion.

It's just that there was a palace banquet for foreign ministers - the late emperor was very lively and lived a luxurious life. Palace banquets for foreign ministers were often held, and it was not rare at all - she was transferred to help, and she met Wu Zhuo again. Seeing him, the wheel of her fate began to turn again.

Wu Zhuo was very popular with the emperor. Since he became an official in the court, he has been on the rise. For a few years, he was the left servant of the Ministry of officials. Everyone said that it was because his sister Wu Concubine was favored by the emperor and benefited him, but Jiang Wenzhi knew it was not so.

Wu Zhuo himself is brilliant, and it is only natural that he gets any honor.

What's more, the emperor is a womanizer. She accidentally saw the emperor pulling Wu Zhuo's hand in the imperial garden, but Wu Zhuo threw it away.

She was so frightened that she quickly prostrated herself on the ground with another court lady.I just hope that the emperor didn't notice them. If they were discovered, they would probably be disposed of. In the eyes of the emperor, it was just a leaf on the ground.

However, the emperor was in a bad mood when he was rejected by Wu Zhuo, so how could he fail to notice the two people lying on the side of the road.

It broke out on the spot, and asked the personal eunuch to drag the two short-sighted people down and stick them to death.

Human life is so cheap, so cheap that it is not as good as an ant.

The other court lady was so frightened that she hurriedly said that the emperor would spare her life, and her head banged on the ground, but Jiang Wenzhi didn't say anything, but just took a deep breath, raised her head and gave Wu Zhuo a last look.

Wu Zhuo's complexion was also not good, probably because he was often harassed by the emperor, which made him very disgusted.

However, this silent palace lady did arouse his curiosity, so he glanced sideways, and met Jiang Wenzhi's calm but nostalgic eyes.

Wu Zhuo was a little surprised. Thinking about it, he also knew Jiang Wenzhi. He didn't know that she actually entered the palace and became a palace maid.

Wu Zhuo interceded for the two maids, and said to the emperor, "I didn't see them making mistakes, so why did they have to be killed. The state has state laws, the family has family rules, and the palace also has palace laws. If the emperor wants to kill people, he must Give someone a reason."

Although the emperor is lustful and enjoys enjoying himself, he is definitely not a complete fool. The fact that the empire is so big has not withered in his hands can be seen.

So he took an extra look at Jiang Wenzhi, probably seeing something.

He released two court ladies, and after a few days, Jiang Wenzhi was transferred from the empress's palace to make tea for the emperor. She went to learn for a month before starting to work. In addition to making tea, she also learned how to blend spices.

When she was summoned for the first time, she was very shocked, not knowing why it was her turn to be summoned.

Besides, there are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, and Concubine Wu is deeply favored by the emperor, so why was she summoned.

But it is real.

She was scrubbed and sent to the side hall of the emperor's bedroom.

Her heart was extremely desolate, and she lived her days in the palace with trepidation and care, but she never thought that this day would come.

On the bed, the emperor would naturally not be gentle with her. She saw him move on her body with a red face and a ferocious expression, and felt very desolate in her heart.

In the end, she passed out from the pain, and drowsily listened to the emperor talking to himself, "The women he looks at a few more times are nothing more than that."

Jiang Wenzhi probably knew what the emperor was thinking, and it was impossible for him to deal with Wu Zhuo, so he used various other methods to compensate.

Although Jiang Wenzhi was summoned, the emperor did not mention her position. She was still a court lady who made tea, but because she was summoned, she was inevitably criticized by others. It was really difficult to live in obscurity and safety like before easy.

But Jiang Wenzhi, she thinks that she is a grass, so she can withstand the wind and rain and can live on, and she doesn't feel that life is bitter.

Her mentality made the supervisor in charge of her think highly of her, and felt that she was not an ordinary person.

Afterwards, the emperor summoned her several times, and Jiang Wenzhi later summed up an experience. It seemed that the emperor was angry with Mrs. Wu, so he wanted to vent on her and toss her.

In fact, she really wanted to say that Mr. Wu was kind to her, and that Mr. Wu had no personal affection for her. Jiang Wenzhi people.

But of course she couldn't say that.

When she was pregnant with Rong Jian, it was time.

She herself was not sure who the child belonged to.

The emperor summoned Mr. Wu for a night talk. Of course, Mr. Wu was not happy, but she could not turn against the emperor on the spot. She was called to serve tea. She saw with her own eyes that the personal eunuch next to the emperor put medicine in the tea. She felt that the emperor was ridiculous. Extremely, Mr. Wu is the pillar of the country, and he is already the prime minister at this time.

He drugged a prime minister!

Jiang Wenzhi really has the feeling that the country will not be the country.

The emperor didn't have the bearing of a king of a country at all, he was just a womanizer.

Jiang Wenzhi felt sorry for Wu Zhuo for a while.

She is just a woman, but she feels that Wu Zhuo should be able to become a famous figure of a generation, instead of being so insulted by the emperor.

She thought a lot in her mind, but she finally picked up the tea.

She went into the inner hall, the atmosphere in the inner hall was very good, the emperor was leaning on the reclining chair, a court lady was massaging his shoulders, Wu Zhuo sat on the side and read the booklet, expressionless, only after reading it did he speak to the emperor Said, "Master Zhang participated in the melodrama's embezzlement of someone's private house. I don't know where he started this matter. This is nothing at all. Your Majesty, please look into it."

The emperor didn't mean to let people see clearly at all, he lay there enjoying himself, his eyes half-closed, and the light from the slits of the eyes fixed on Wu Zhuo's body.

Maybe what he was thinking was that Wu Zhuo could be like this because of him pampering him. If he stopped pampering him, what would he have.

It's just that he is still willing to pamper him now.

Jiang Wenzhi brought the tea, and she went to offer it to the emperor first, another court lady wanted to take it and put it on the tea stool, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "There is nothing long-eyed, this is Wu Qing's favorite tea. "

Jiang Wenzhi froze there, she wanted to pour the tea on the ground, but another court lady had already offered it to Wu Zhuo by herself.

Jiang Wenzhi's face turned pale, and he wanted to remind him, but the emperor's gaze was fixed on her.

Wu Zhuo drank the tea.

Jiang Wenzhi's heart became desolate, just like when he was summoned by the emperor for the first time.

Everyone else in the hall was sent out, only Jiang Wenzhi was still kneeling there.

Wu Zhuo knew something was wrong after drinking the tea, he was very angry, his face was ruddy with a blue color of anger, he stared at the emperor, and he was about to go out without saying anything, but the emperor sat majestic and relaxed. There, let Jiang Wenzhi pull him back.

Jiang Wenzhi knelt there without moving, just kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wu is a minister of the humerus of the imperial court, how could he tolerate such insults."

But the emperor gave her a kick with a sneer, and said, "It's just that I have a crush on him. There can be a thick stack of papers for him. If you take out a few, I can send his whole family to prison."

Wu Zhuo walked to the door and did not leave again. His face was flushed and his body was trembling, but it could not conceal his demeanor. He was dressed in a purple official uniform of the prime minister, and his handsomeness was full of grace. People can only watch and worship from a distance.

He turned around and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I finally understand."

The emperor's face darkened, and he said, "What do you understand?"

Wu Zhuo didn't answer, he walked over and pulled Jiang Wenzhi up from the ground. Although Jiang Wenzhi pretended to be calm, his heart was actually in a state of turmoil.

Wu Zhuo held her face and began to kiss her, and pulled away her belt with one hand. Jiang Wenzhi was frightened, and felt that it didn't matter if he died tomorrow.

The emperor was trembling with anger, but Wu Zhuo dared to turn upside down with his maid in front of him.

How chaotic things were after that, Jiang Wenzhi passed out without knowing it.

Her first reaction when she woke up was that she would be given death, so she just waited for the emperor to give her the order to give her death.

However, she was not bestowed to death by the emperor. Two months later, it was confirmed that she was pregnant.

She was also promoted directly from a court lady to concubine.

In fact, she was not sure that the child in her stomach belonged to Mr. Wu, because the emperor also summoned her a few days ago.The child is more likely to be emperor.

After she became a concubine, the emperor never summoned her again. She lived in a daze at first, but then the child in her stomach began to torment her, and she realized that she was not alone, and she still had to live well.

And she was not sure how the emperor would treat the child in her stomach after it was born.

The emperor was furious at the Wu family once, and once wanted to dismiss Mr. Wu from his position and exile the Wu family to Mobei, but at the begging of Wu Guifei, the emperor later softened his heart and did not do so.

Jiang Wenzhi became a concubine, she didn't have any real feelings, but her father and younger brother outside the palace were frightened, she also knew in the palace that her father had troubled Lord Wu, Jiang Wenzhi was very annoyed by this , but there is no way.

After the child was born, the emperor gave him the name Jian, which he chose at will, without even using the name prepared by the Ministry of Rites. In this way, Rong Jian came into this world.

He was not favored by the emperor at all, and the emperor only glanced at him a few times when he was a child, and stopped paying too much attention to him.

Rong Jian doesn't look like Wu Zhuo at all, a bit like his mother, but more like the royal family.With thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose bridge, his face was a bit rough, not as refined as the Wu family's.

The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, this was more like his child, but he didn't like it.

Maybe, does he hope that this is Wu Zhuo's son?

He probably thought about it, but people often seek benevolence without benevolence.

Apart from the three people involved and the emperor's personal eunuch, no one knew about this incident back then. Now that everyone is dead and everything returns to ashes, there is no need for anyone to know about it.
