Chapter 172 Desperation
Hearing Evening Harvest’s words, Hu Mingya was extremely agitated, she felt that it was the Yichang Grand Princess House’s people who came to discuss the marriage with her parents.
About a quarter of an hour or so later, the Hu Magistrate couple came to Hu Mingya with a sullen face.
The man first scolded the daughter of a small family for her lack of self-respect and for meeting a man outside the family. He also said that Zheng Ji was the only son of the Grand Princess of Yichang, the Emperor’s cousin, and that it was impossible for him to marry the Hu family’s daughter. If the Hu family woman dares to pester, their family will roll the quilt and roll away …….
The attitude was brutal and absolute, leaving no room for error.
The Hu magistrate never dreamed that Zheng Ji had that kind of family power. He simply can’t afford to offend the Grand Princess House, and promised to find a family for his daughter to marry as soon as possible.
He let Hu Mingya put away the mind, not to interact with Zheng Ji, he will find a family for her as soon as possible.
Hu Mingya simply do not believe, “Zheng said that he is not in this life I will not marry, but also said that he will convince his parents …….”
Hu magistrate reprimanded her and banned her feet.
Hu Mingya was heartbroken, cried bitterly, and became ill.
Half a month later, Zheng Ji came to the Hu family again.
The Hu family did not let him in.
Zheng Ji can not, only in the Hu family not far away from wandering. In the middle of the day that day, I saw Hu Mingya’s maid come out to buy a needle and thread.
Zheng Ji ran forward, “Xiao Qing, Hu girl ……”.
Xiaoqing gave a “humph” and turned her head away.
Zheng Ji stopped her and whispered about how much he missed Hu Mingya, and how he would find a way to convince his parents.
“Can you really convince your parents?”
“Of course I can. My parents only have me as a son, as long as I insist, they will be able to compromise ……”
Xiao Qing saw that Zheng Ji had lost a lot of weight and had a few prairie blisters on his lips, and his heart softened. Promising to send a letter from him to Hu Mingya.
Hu Mingya read the letter, and then ignited a new hope.
Since then, the two began to write to each other, and occasionally at night Zheng Ji will also go over the wall to Hu Mingya’s small yard to meet.
Evening Clear was not only responsible for delivering the letters, but also for looking after the door.
Although old Sister Wu is Hu Mingya’s nursemaid, but the Hu family has fewer subordinates, she also does some things in the kitchen, will not guard Hu Mingya every day. Therefore, she did not know about this matter.
During this period, the Hu magistrate to the daughter found two families, Hu Mingya are crying and making noise, looking for all kinds of reasons not to agree. Hu magistrate couple most love this daughter, she did not want to also can not be forced, and looking for the next family.
One night, Zheng Ji again came to Hu Mingya’s small courtyard.
He happily told Hu Mingya that his mother and father finally agreed to their marriage, and in a few days the family will find a matchmaker to propose marriage. However, the higher-ups happened to send him on a business trip to a foreign country, and he would be leaving tomorrow. He would hurry up and do his errand, and try to come back within a month ……
“Mingya, my mother has already promised to marry you at the end of this year.”
The two young hearts leaned closer and closer together, accomplishing good things on this night.
From the next day onwards, Hu Mingya began to look forward to the Grand Princess House coming to propose marriage again.
A month passed, she did not wait for the marriage proposal, did not wait for Zheng Ji, Hu magistrate, but waiting for a paper transfer order, was transferred to a remote county in western Hunan as a magistrate.
Hu Mingya realized that she had harmed her father. The Grand Princess House not only disagreed with their marriage, but also used its power to get her father thousands of miles away. I only don’t know whether Zheng Ji was hidden by his parents and coaxed him to go abroad, or he knew the truth and cheated her feelings.
When Hu Mingya was in pain, there was vomiting and weakness and drowsiness. Hu Mingya heard her mother and nurse said some things, and then thought of her monthly letter has exceeded a few days, guessed that she may be pregnant, scared.
She didn’t dare to tell her parents and cried and told Old Sister Wu.
Old Sister Wu was scared out of her wits and was so angry that she gave Evening Star a good beating. The three of them cried a lot and discussed that it was better to see a doctor first to confirm.
The next day, Hu Mingya first went to Old Sister Wu’s house. There was no one else in the Wu family, Hu Mingya lay down on the bed of the Wu family’s eldest daughter-in-law and put down the tent.
Evening Ya invited the doctor, who checked the pulse of the wrist outside the tent.
After checking the pulse, the doctor smiled at old Sister Wu and said, “It’s a slippery pulse. Congratulations, your daughter-in-law is pregnant.”
Old Sister Wu forced a smile and gave the doctor his fee.
The three women cried again, not daring to cry out, covering their mouths with a handkerchief.
Old Sister Wu advised, “Miss, that man is just a fop, forget about him. While the fetus is still small, hurry up and get rid of it. Master wants to do a handover, I heard that there is still a big thing to be done, two months before departing, the girl can use this time to recuperate her body. If the master leaves in a hurry, the girl may have to hurt her son ……”
Hu Mingya still did not believe that Zheng Ji would lie to her, and saved a thought in her heart. Crying, she said, “The Fifth Regiment Camp is not far from Fengping County, I want to go to the camp and ask him why he did this to me.”
Old Sister Wu disagreed, but Hu Mingya insisted on going to Zheng Ji to ask him.
Old Sister Wu can’t, thinking to make things clear is good, said clearly the girl will be dead heart, and then quietly abortion.
Hu Mingya calmly returned home, and calmly told her parents, “I heard that there is a Zhaoming Nunnery forty miles away, the most famous nunnery in the capital, and the incense is very strong. I want to go there to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my parents with good health, to bless some of us with a safe journey to western Hunan, and to ask for a marriage sign.”
Magistrate Hu was not at all unhappy about being transferred to western Hunan. He was honest and mute, and most of the officials here were cunning, so he simply couldn’t fit in. Now that he was being hated by the Grand Princess House, it was best to stay away from here. Seeing that his daughter had already figured it out, he was very happy and nodded his head in agreement.
This time, Wu Dabo was sent to drive the car, and Old Sister Wu and Evening Qing accompanied them. As the journey was a bit far, they had to stay at the nunnery for one night.
The next day, several people took a mule cart out of the county.
They first went to the Five Regiment Camp.
When they got there, Hu Mingya and a few women sat in the car while Wu Dabo went to the gate of the barracks to look for Zheng Ji. The gatekeeper said that Zheng Ji had gone out on a business trip and had not yet returned.
Hearing the words of Uncle Wu, Hu Mingya fell into the arms of the old Sister Wu and wept bitterly. The sobs were so mournful that several other people shed tears. Evening Qing cried especially hard as well, feeling that if she had not helped the girl and the man to deliver the letter, the girl would not have suffered such a tragedy.
Old Sister Wu cried and advised, ”Miss, that man is no good, he is hiding from you. Behave yourself and fight when you return from the nunnery. A few of us bite the bullet and don t say anything, others can t find out …….”
Hu Mingya cried all the way to Zhaoming Nunnery, wiped her tears dry and calmed down. She also said, “I’ve figured it out, listen to Sister. Please, no matter what you encounter, don’t tell that story.”
Several subordinates really thought she had figured it out and were relieved, swearing another curse that they would not tell that story.
After worshipping the Bodhisattva and donating incense and oil money, they asked for three rooms to stay behind the nunnery. One for Elder Wu, one for Sister Wu, and one for Hu Mingya and Evening Harvest.
Tired from rushing and crying all the way, Xiaocheng quickly fell asleep.
Thank you for the rewards from Tuan Tuan’s little boots and COW, and thank you for the monthly tickets from the relatives.
