甘露醒来的时候发现自己躺在一张小木板床上,屋里陈设古色古香,但是很简陋,只有有限的木柜木桌子。
她动了动手脚,浑身酸痛不堪,像是卧榻已久。
“好渴──”
“甘草!你醒了?”
一个苍老的妇人摔破了碗,不知所措的看着她。
甘露心里记下这个名字,再次恳求道:“我好渴,我想喝水──”
妇人这才心疼的看着地上破碎的碗片,急急收拾了,又打了碗水来喂她喝下。
甘露试探的问道:“你是我娘?”
妇人抓着她的手抓得生疼:“傻了十三年多,终于不傻了!”
甘露若有所思,“劳烦母亲照顾了这些年,甘草以后一定好好孝敬娘。”
妇人突然有些不好意思的低下头,“你这才好了,就要嫁到陈家兄弟家去了,以后好好过就是了。”
甘露吓了一跳:“女儿要嫁人了?这是怎么回事?”
妇人半是看着她的反应,半是躲躲闪闪,“谁知道你这傻病还会好呢?家里,家里也实在是养活不了了,难得陈家兄弟不嫌弃,肯要你,娘只好答应了。”
甘露消化了一下,沉默不语。
妇人知她心里不满,道:“陈家兄弟个个人才,难得之前你傻的时候都不嫌弃,想必现在好了更是会对你好的,你嫁过去没有公婆,不会太麻烦的。”
甘露知道这家里为难,但是还是不太接受卖女儿一样把她卖了,何况是先前还傻的时候。万一随便人家万一把她卖了杀了,也管不到。
妇人叹了口气,“这天下女子哪个不是这样?咱们地位低下,只能寻个好寄托了!我之前看那陈氏兄弟都是托的去的人,你不要怪娘,你见见再说?”
甘露点点头,妇人出去忙碌。她则迅速脱下裤子,检查自己的下体,下体干干净净,并没有任何异状,甘露忍不住想:到底是做了一场梦?
后来跟妇人说话,才知道这里目前是龙霖国天下,女子地位低下,而且男多女少的厉害,富人家的男子一夫一妻,或者一夫多妻,而穷人家的男人就娶不了妻,或者多夫一妻。
女孩不值钱,也不好养活,到了能嫁人的年纪,多半家里就收几十吊钱送走了,差不多跟卖掉一头牛一样的价格。
这里人嫁女儿,基本都跟卖掉牲口差不多。
甘露这才知道,这妇人对她这个傻子,也算是仁至义尽了,她不能拿什么都跟现代比较。
而且很显然这里确实很贫穷。
