Rong Xia looked at Bai Shanwen, who was devouring extremely happily, and pursed her mouth gently, she only cooked a dozen dumplings, according to this person's speed, the second young master probably can't eat any of them!o(╯□╰)o.

"You made these dumplings, what kind of filling, it tastes so good!" took a bite of seafood soy sauce, and Bai Shanwen ate it with a fragrant mouth.

"I did it. The dumplings are sauerkraut pork. ”

"Sauerkraut? What is that that that I haven't heard of!"

"Alright, alright, eating still can't stop your mouth. Pei Jinzhi glanced at Bai Shanwen without being salty, and then turned his head and said to Rong Xia with a pleasant face: "It's okay here, Ah Xia should go back and rest!"

"Hey, is her name Axia! Your skills are really good, and she looks very cute, how about it, transfer it to me, and exchange it for a generation of gold beads!"

Rong Xia became nervous when he heard this, the second and second young masters won't really sell me!

"Dreaming. Pei Jinzhi didn't even want to glance at him, and said directly in a tone that you are really a fool: "Our family's Axia daughter will not change." ”

So, Rong Xia floated out of the ~~~~~ very happily

The return journey was relatively smooth, and five days later, the ship arrived in the capital. After making an appointment with Bai Shanwen to reunite another day, Pei Jinzhi took Rong Xia and He An to the carriage of the Dingyang Hou Mansion, Rong Xia looked at the street outside the car window, and suddenly had a happy feeling, and soon after, she would be able to see her father and mother, she hadn't seen her for half a year, and she didn't know what happened to them. The gate of Dingyang Hou's Mansion was fully opened, and Dingyang Hou personally greeted him at the door, and as soon as Pei Jinzhi got out of the car, he laughed and said, "Haha...... I'm back, okay, this time you have to solve the yuan, but it will add great glory to our house!"

Pei Jinzhi smiled gently, first bowed, and then said: "Uncle praised, Jinzhi's achievements today are due to your careful cultivation from childhood to adulthood." ”

"Second brother. Pei An, who was standing behind Dingyang Hou, took half a step forward, slapped Pei Jinzhi's chest, and said with a smile: "Congratulations." ”

Pei Jinzhi nodded, with warmth in his eyes, and shouted, "Big brother." ”

"Okay, go in and say, go in and say, I've already asked someone to set up a banquet for you, and we'll talk while eating. ”

The group happily walked inside, Rong Xia was free, and when there were many people, no one noticed her little maid, so she said hello to He An, and sneaked into the backyard where the people lived in the house.

"Dad, mother, I'm back!" As soon as Rong Xia pushed the door open, she was suddenly stunned, the room exuded a strong smell of medicine, and her heart suddenly tightened, thinking that it was who was sick.

"Ah, it's Miss Xiaoxia who is back. The curtain of the door of the inner room was opened, and a middle-aged woman with a fat body stepped out of it.

"Aunt Yan?" Rong Xia cried out in confusion.

I heard the sound of the outhouse, and there was a violent coughing sound in the inner room.

"Miss Xiaoxia, hurry, your mother is sick, go in and have a look!"

Rong Xia was immediately shocked when he heard this, and his body rushed in like a small cannonball.

Sure enough, in the room, Li was lying on the kang and coughing urgently, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were bruised and swollen, and her whole person was loose and weak.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Rong Xia was anxious and didn't know what to do, and said in his ear: "Mother, open your eyes and look at me, I'm back!"

"Axia?" Lady Li muttered breathlessly.

"Yes, it's me!" Rong Xia held Li Niangzi's palm tightly: "Mother, I'll find a doctor to come and treat you!" As she spoke, she got up and was about to rush out, but Aunt Yan on the side quickly pulled her and said, "Miss Xiaoxia, don't worry, the doctor has already come over to see it." ”

"Have you seen it?" Rong Xia stopped and said urgently, "What did the doctor say? What kind of disease does my mother have?"

"Alas, your mother is too sad, it's a heart disease. ”

"Too sad?" Why is it too sad, someone in the family has an accident, Rong Xia immediately chuckled in his heart.

"Ah Xia-" At this moment, Li Niangzi, who was lying on the kang, suddenly shouted, stretched out her thin hands and was about to pounce on Rong Xia.

"Mother, I'm here!"

"Ah Xia, Ah Xia, your sister, your sister-" Li Niangzi's thin face was full of sadness, and she hugged Rong Xia and cried: "My Chun'er, my child who has a hard life, my mother is sorry for you!"

"Sister... What's wrong with my sister?" Rong Xia's face turned white, and her voice trembled.

Aunt Yan sighed deeply, put down the medicine bowl she had been holding in her hand, and told Bisi how she was sold from beginning to end, after Rong Xia heard it, her heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, her mind was very large or stuck in the original world, in Rong Xia's opinion, whether it was her, He An, or any of the subordinates in this mansion, they were just "workers" who served their employers. They are essentially equal to any master in the Hou Mansion. However, today, her own sister was taken out and sold cheaply, without even the consent of the biological parents of the person concerned. It was sold, sold to a place where they don't know where, it was a person, it was their dearest person!!

"Chun'er, Chun'er... Mother can't stand you, mother can't stand you!!" Li Niangzi lay in Rong Xia's arms and cried.

"Mother, don't be sad. We'll definitely find my sister, she'll be fine. Rong Xia's eyes were red, and crystal tears flowed down like a stream.

The mother and daughter hugged and cried for a long time.

"Aunt Yan, where is my father? Is he okay?" Rong Xia tucked the corner of the quilt for Li Niangzi, who didn't know when she cried and fell asleep, turned around and asked.

"On the errand, when it gets dark, you can go back. ”

Rong Xia nodded, then bowed deeply to Aunt Yan, and choked up, "Auntie, thank you for taking care of my mother." ”

"Look at what your child is talking about, my mother and I have been good sisters for more than ten years, she is sick, I don't take care of anyone. ”

******

When Rong Xia came out of the house, it was already dark, and she went directly from the path to the [Green Bamboo Xuan], at this moment the [Green Bamboo Xuan] was quiet, and Rong Xia knew that Pei Jinzhi should not have come back yet. So I went to the small kitchen, fetched a basin of water, washed away the traces of wolf bèi on my face, and then began to get busy.

Pei Jinzhi straightened up, and a white handkerchief slipped between his slender fingers.

After spitting things up, the feeling of churning in my stomach finally subsided a little. When drinking and feasting with others, Pei Jinzhi rarely touches the food, just drinks some wine, however, on some occasions, he obviously doesn't want to eat it.

For example, at today's reception banquet, his stepmother Zhao kindly clipped a lion's head for him.

For example, his sister-in-law got up and served him a bowl of cloud-eared red dates and lotus seed soup.

Pei Jinzhi glanced at the filth on the ground, and a thick self-deprecation and disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Young master......" He An poked his head out behind him and said: "The small one here will be dealt with, you go back quickly, Miss Xiaoxia must have cooked honey water at home and is waiting for you." ”

When Pei Jinzhi heard this, he felt that his gloomy mood had improved slightly.

He An was right, not long after Pei Jinzhi returned to the room, Rong Xia came over with the boiling honey water from the kettle.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Pei Jinzhi frowned, but sighed slightly in his heart, this child must have known about her sister.

Rong Xia pursed his lips, pursed his lips again, and suddenly, choked up.

"What are you crying about. Pei Jinzhi stretched out his long arm, gently hugged the petite little girl into his arms, and asked softly while touching her head: "What's wrong, say it, the young master will call the shots for you." Rong Xia felt very uncomfortable, and she wanted to ask him, so she told her sister about being sold.

"Second Young Master, can you help us find out, where was my sister sold?" Rong Xia raised her crying little red face, with a thick pleading in her eyes. Aunt Yan said that a beautiful maid like my sister who was sold because she had sinned the master's family had a great chance of being sold to the Qinglou. This is also the reason why her mother suddenly became ill, she was really worried about the future and fate of her eldest daughter.

Pei Jinzhi didn't even think about it and said directly: "I, I'll help you." When I find out your sister's whereabouts, I will immediately sue you. ”

"Really?" Rong Xia stared at the big moist eyes, choking and sobbing.

"When did the young master deceive Ah Xia?" Pei Jinzhi patted Rong Xia's little head: "Okay, now you can stop crying." The young master's clothes are about to be turned into rags by you. ”

Only then did Rong Xia realize that his whole person was attached to someone's chest.

Although her body is only an eleven-year-old child, the core inside is an adult. The whole person was embarrassed all of a sudden, and hurriedly took a few steps back, wiped his eyes and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'll wash your clothes for you." ”

Pei Jinzhi shook his head, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His words really counted.

Half a month later, Rong Xia got the news of Bessy.

"What you said is true?" Mrs. Li held her little daughter's hand tightly, her eyes full of expectation,

"It's true. The second young master asked people to check. Rong Xia said with some relief and some frustration: "My sister was sold by Na Ya Po to a tea merchant surnamed Hu in the south, and made a concubine for that tea merchant. ”

"Thank God, thank God, my Chun'er is still alive, still alive......" Li Niangzi's heart that had been hanging for so long finally fell back into her stomach: "Since you are a tea merchant, you must have a good family background, and when your sister arrives there, eating, drinking, and wearing something must be indispensable." "The eldest daughter was still a pale body when she was kicked out, and if she could give birth to a son and a half daughter to the tea merchant in the future, she would have a settlement in the next life.

Su Haitang opened his mouth slightly, and some words were not said in the end.

I heard the second young master say that although the tea merchant was rich, he himself was in his fifties, and he was older than their sisters' fathers.
