Shi Gui went back to the secluded fence earlier than Ye Wenxin, and the girls in the courtyard knew that her father had found it, six out of Su Chen, and Shi Gui had been living in the same room since the other garden in September, and he knew the details, he said all the left and right sentences, and sighed while saying: "After walking so far, she couldn't escape, she must take out all the silver." ”

Liuchu Suchen knew that Shi Gui was not such a person, if she was not an idea, how could she make a contract with the girl, talk and do things on weekdays, should be soft and hard, hearing September say this, Liuchu frowned: "I have found such a thousand mountains and rivers, saying that the family doesn't care about her, and I can't do it anymore." ”

September blushed and glanced at Liu: "I didn't say that my family didn't care about her." Thinking like this, Shi Gui was almost inseparable from her, closed his mouth and said nothing, lowered his head and twisted his veil, this time Shi Gui's box was not half empty.

As soon as Danzhu came to the secluded fence, Yuxu packed up her things and went to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, Ye Wenxin was still eating, turned her head and disappeared Shi Gui, knowing that she had come to do things properly, and asked, Chunyan smiled: "Someone came to the door, saying that it was her father, I asked her to go to the front to see, is it serious, or is it here to do something." ”

People who can't live in Beijing have their own set of living methods, like this kind of thing, seeing that the high-ranking officials and rich families have happy events, they come to the door to congratulate and touch a few coppers, and there are even those who howl and mourn, and the white things and red things are stained once, and there are poor and sick old and weak at the door of the temple and Taoism, showing pity to ask for a few money to spend, Gayin only came out of the temple and people have just bathed in the Buddha's light, and there is a lot of pity for the weak and poor, and there are always □□ out of ten who can find money.

Even the hair on the top of the bald head has to be plucked, and you can't drive it away when you go to the door, it seems that the family is ruthless, and you spend a bowl of tea money, go around Jinling City, and then go to your door.

Ye Wenxin knew that Shi Guixin's heart was to go home, if it was really her father who came to look for her, the father and daughter were embarrassed to see each other, and they stopped and raised their eyes: "I bother you to give an order to my room, let Yuxu take the silver to her." ”

Song Yintang sat on the left side of the Ye family, and when he heard the words, he looked up, and saw Ye Wenxin's face turned sideways, and his long eyebrows frowned slightly: "It's rare that her father can come from such a long distance." ”

There are three people in the seat, everyone has feelings, Ye holds the chopsticks firmly in his hand, but the corners of his mouth are tight, the farmer in the countryside has this feeling of licking the calf, and sighed: "It's also a pitiful one, it's not easy to spend money on her, it's better to grab some copper and wrap a bag for her." ”

said that it was a pack, then it was not a decimal, Song Yintang even said that it was funny, and Ye Wenxin came and went, which made Ye relax the corners of his mouth, as soon as Shi Gui's father came, these three lost the interest in eating, Ye Wenxin thought of himself, and couldn't help but be sad, other people's fathers were penniless, and the poor family couldn't sell their daughters, but they wanted to find it back, her father didn't say that he was rich in the world, but he was also a good cooker, but he was thinking about how to sell his daughter at a good price.

For a while, the three of them stopped talking, Chunyan grabbed two large handfuls of copper coins and wrapped them in a small green cloth bag, a few light bamboos had a ring pendant, and Fanxing was even more sad, untied the red agate pendant hanging on his waist and threw it in the cloth bag. Danzhu went out all the way to send money, but he was afraid that if the delivery was not timely, the person had already escaped.

As soon as Shi Gui entered the door, he saw many people sitting under the corridor in the courtyard, and Liu Suchen saw that her eyes were red, and she knew that she had cried, since she was crying, that one must be her father, but there were many things to ask her, Shi Gui only shook his head: "My father came with the boat, and he didn't even have a thick coat on him, so I have to rush to work today and make one for him." ”

There was still a remnant of cotton in the winter, so Shi Gui dismantled a cotton coat of his own, took out the cotton inside, cut thick arrowroot cloth, and made winter clothes for the stone.

On the one hand, on the other hand, tears were shed, the stone was born strong, and he became a lean man with the running boat, his face was sunburned and he did not know how many layers of skin had faded, his neck was red from the fire, and his hands and feet were calloused, and he was several years older than when he was farming at home.

In September, I didn't dare to sleep alone, the room was empty, Shi Gui and Aunt Pei took leave, lit the oil lamp, cut the cloth first, and took a look, the original one must not be worn, my heart was sour, while cutting the cloth and swallowing tears, Liuyu turned on the oil lamp for her, and lit a bowl of tea: "You really don't sleep all night?"

Shi Gui nodded: "My father must be reluctant to make a ready-to-wear garment, this day is cold, even if the stove is burned, there must always be a warm clothes." ”

Liuchu sighed, cut the two together, and Yuxu came in: "The girl asked about you, I saw that she was not in good spirits, so I persuaded her to sleep first, is it really your father?"

Shi Gui nodded, and Yu Fu also sighed with him, the girl who was sold, there are a few people who can go home to find their relatives again, everyone said that Shi Gui is not easy, and she helped her with all hands and feet, and a piece of clothing quickly took shape.

Ye Wenxin is not in good spirits, she feels her own life experience, when she thinks that other people have to come all the way to see her daughter who was sold, she can't help but feel sour, stay at Ye's place, and say a lot of words to write to her mother, Ye answered her, she came back, and Song Yintang sent her all the way to the door in the secluded grate.

Liuchu flipped over the cloth on the table: "Are you going to make two?"

"Two pieces are too late, I want to use a double layer of cloth for my father, the ship is very sharp, so as not to show the clothes inside. Shi Gui had someone to help, and soon made two sets of leggings for the stone, there was always a big bag, and when she went back, Aunt Pei had not yet slept, and she opened the box to count the money, and lowered her eyes.

A few things are to be returned, in addition to returning them to them, Shi Gui also wants to bring something back to Qiu Niang, but the people who run the boat live in one place, and the money is too much, so it is not a convenient matter.

Shi Gui was worried, Aunt Pei sighed: "In the early years, the palace people did not go out of the palace, except for the release of the heavenly grace, the rest of the people who did not catch up with the grace had to work in the palace until they died of old age, and when they were old, they couldn't do anything, so they went to guard the mausoleum to do some idle things, and the queen was very kind and let people out, but this family couldn't all move out, so the central people changed the gold beads, punched holes one by one, strung them up and hung them around the neck, hidden secretly, and not falling into people's eyes." ”

Aunt Pei said that if you do it slowly, it will naturally be the best, but at this time, she is in a hurry, where is it still in time to change the gold beads and punch holes, Shi Gui lit the things in the box, there are many gold and jade, but it is not convenient to take a sample on your body, or wrapped a large bag of copper coins, Ming'er handed it over, and exchanged it for a silver ticket in the money bank, and you can always bring it back with two or three times.

Shi Gui hardly slept all night, wishing that he could take a look at Qiu Niang Xizi, and he was clearly full of emotion, but he stiffened his body and didn't move, for fear of disturbing Aunt Pei, biting the corner of the quilt and staring at the window, waiting for the sky outside to light up little by little.

It snowed again this night, and there were few sunny days in this winter, and the snow fell in the gray, and the house was getting colder and colder, Shi Gui shrank into the quilt, and there was never a time when he couldn't sleep, but he was sleepy tonight, and he thought about Lanxi Village over and over again.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shi Gui got up earlier than Aunt Pei, served the disciple tea early, walked quickly to the door with a big bag, and agreed to come early in the morning to get it, she didn't even eat, when she went out, the girl who swept the yard in the yard was not on the errand, the snow in the yard, Shi Gui stepped on the snow and came out, and when he arrived at the door, the side door had not yet opened.

Before the little guy guarding the door got up, he saw her slip out of the second door, saw such a big bag of things in her eyes, and sighed: "Those were not enough yesterday, why don't you leave some for yourself." The little maid yawned with his shoes on, walked back and forth to wash, and then opened the side door, picked up a broom, and swept the snow back and forth in the alley in front of the door.

There is usually no one in the alley, selling flowers and beads, the girls on this snowy day are also lazy, how can they come out to buy these, not to mention that it is still so early, he looked at Shi Gui again, and secretly sighed in his heart, looking at it is a clever one, it is a smart face and a stupid belly.

He tucked his hands back into the ear room, yawned lazily, muttered a few words in his mouth, and poured some tea foam into the teapot on the stove to boil some old tea to eat.

Shi Gui stood like this, where could he bear the cold, his feet couldn't stop stomping, he stretched out his head to look outside, since his father promised her, he must be coming, counting the hours, and when there were voices outside the alley, he still didn't see anyone else.

Shi Guijiu and the others didn't come, they heard it yesterday, and said that they were going to leave after getting off the goods, and they were afraid that the stone would just go with the boat, where would the owner wait for someone, so he ran back in a panic with his clothes, and wanted to beg Ye Wenxin Ye's family, regardless of which one is good, send a small guy to Taoyedu to send this bag of clothes over.

I met Song Mian again, Laba School was on vacation, he took a book to go out, it is better to go to the front door than to go to the wrong door, spend one or two coppers, it is convenient, and before he walked to the door, he saw Shi Gui slipping on the snow, and quickly stretched out his hand.

Shi Gui is still dressed as a little girl, and it is not too much to help her, seeing her eyes red, thinking of yesterday when she said that her father was here, she asked her, "What are you doing?"

Shi Gui nodded indiscriminately: "Yes, I said I was coming yesterday, and I don't know if I left with the boat." "After thinking about goodbye, I don't know what year it will be when I see you next time.

Song Mian frowned, looking at the bag of things in Shi Gui's hand: "Which ferry is it going to, what name, I'll send it." Shi Gui didn't expect him to help, stunned, Song Mian put a scroll of the book, reached out to get it, Shi Gui said gratefully: "It's in Taoyedu, it's a boat that sells tea, called a person from Lanxi Village, Stone Sweet Water Town." ”

Song Mian walked out quickly, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, dressed as a scholar, carrying such a burden, he didn't dislike it, Shi Gui was guarding the door, and the little guy looked at her: "How can this young master be willing to run errands for you?"

Song Mian has no money, and he has to pay attention to asking him where he is going when he goes in and out of the main gate, where to go and arrange a sedan chair, where he can find the money to sit in a sedan chair, so he simply goes to the side door, where is it cheaper, it turns out that he is used to walking in the fields, and Jinling City is effortless to walk.

The little girl didn't expect Song Mian to run errands for Shi Gui, looked her up and down, thinking that this young master was a miser, it was difficult to run and still get the money, some were in a hurry to send money, and some were in a hurry to send money for others, thinking about it for a while, I felt funny, and I sighed again: "A pair of fools." ”
