The three of them were like taking a dream boat, in a trance in the sky, and suddenly woke up, only to see the bright moon in the sky, flowing silver all over the ground, it turned out that there was no rain in the Wanling area.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Wenji stepped on the moonlight, walked up the stone steps, and knocked on the knocker.

After a short time, the doorman Ah Fu carried the lantern and walked behind the gate in a daze, and hurriedly opened the gate when he could understand something.

Wen Ji, Yan Ling and Xiao Hua entered the gate building together, and Ah Fu had already turned around and reported to the housekeeper Liu Er.

For a while, the lights in all parts of Tan Mansion were lit up one after another, like day. Xiaohua looked around and was very surprised.

The three of them bypassed the wall, passed by the large pomegranate tree in the courtyard, and the hall appeared in front of them.

I saw that Gongying and his wife were already sitting in the middle hall, with Xiaoyu on the right and the housekeeper on the left, standing aside. The Hui Nu also sat in the guest seat, and the phoenix stood at the back.

After walking quickly into the hall, Wen Ji and Yan Ling knelt down, and Xiaohua knelt down next to Yan Ling.

Wenji kowtowed and said, "The child is back, and the child asks his father and mother to say goodbye." ”

Yan Ling and Xiaohua then kowtowed to the ground.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Wenji, and said unhappily: "Ji'er, what's the matter, you haven't said a word to your family after going out for so many days, do you still have parents in your eyes?"

"The child made the father and mother worried, and the child knew that he was wrong. "Wenji can't report truthfully, and is willing to take it alone.

"Look at yourself, this face and body are dirty, how can you look like a tutor!" Mrs. Zhou said sternly, "Say: What is going on?"

"Auntie: It's not about Dingzhi's brother's business, it's Ling'er's fault, please don't blame Dingzhi's brother. Yan Ling kowtowed.

"Good...... Ling'er, then tell me: What's wrong with you?"

"Ling'er shouldn't run away in a bad mood. Yan Ling honestly admits his mistake.

"It's good to know, then why did you run away in a bad mood?"

Ling'er wanted to avenge her father, but her aunt didn't allow it, so she left in a bad mood. ”

"Have you figured it out now?"

"Think...... Think...... I figured it out......" Yan Ling replied weakly, in fact, although she said this verbally, she still couldn't let go of her hatred for Jiutian in her heart, but she didn't want to embarrass Wenji's mother and son.

"Alas...... Ling'er, as the saying goes: Grievances should be resolved rather than settled, and people must be forgiven and forgiving. If you kill her, she kills, she kills, you kill, kills, there will be no time, and then the children and grandchildren will be harmed in the future. After you marry Ji'er, you will have children in the future, is it possible that you still hope that the enemy will think about your children every day? ”

Mrs. Zhou's words suddenly brightened Yan Ling's mind, especially when she heard the words "After you marry Ji'er, you will have children in the future", it touched the most tender part of her female heart, so that she was soft and fascinated.

So she replied softly: "Ling'er remembered Auntie's words, and Ling'er listened to Auntie." ”

Previously, Wen Ji had enlightened once in the land temple, and now Mrs. Zhou taught seriously, so Yan Ling was deeply touched, so she bowed down and kowtowed to thank her, but the two steamed buns in her arms had already loosened.

Everyone in the hall was taken aback, and when they looked at it, it turned out to be two steamed buns, and a small piece of steamed buns was gnawed into potholes.

Yan Ling panicked for a moment, and it was difficult to invite him, so he hurriedly picked up two steamed buns, blew them a few times with his small mouth, and stuffed them into his arms.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou asked curiously, "Ling'er, what are you doing with those two dirty steamed buns in your arms?"

"Ling'er keeps it for food. ”

"Keep it for food? What are these words, didn't Ji'er bring silver along the way, so that you can eat this steamed bun every day?" Mrs. Zhou said in disbelief, and called Wen Ji with a calm face, "Ji'er: What's going on?"

"Auntie, it's not about Dingzhi's brother, it's not about Dingzhi's brother...... Be... Be... It's Ling'er's fault......" Yan Ling hurriedly grabbed the words, but he knew that he was at a loss, and his voice weakened again.

"Ling'er, why is it your fault again?" Mrs. Zhou was surprised.

"Ling'er...... Ling'er spent all the money of Dingzhi's brother, and now only ...... is left There are only these two steamed buns left. ”

"Seeing that you didn't add any clothes, what jewelry did you buy, and it was only five or seven taels of silver for you to spend in half a month, why did you end up in this field, Ling'er, how much silver did you spend?"

"I? I...... Spent there ...... Yes...... There are twenty taels of silver...... "Yan Ling muttered.

"Ahh

Everyone was also quite surprised, and they all felt incredible, twenty taels of silver was not a small amount.

Mrs. Zhou was about to reproach Yan Ling, and Xiao Rong, who knelt on the side, said: "Mrs. Yu, although Sister Yan Ling has spent a lot of silver, she has regretted it now, and she has said that she will never spend money again in the future." ”

"Not bad...... The little girl was right. Gongying, who was silent at this time, suddenly spoke, "Madam, look: now Ling'er is reluctant to throw away even two dirty steamed buns, which shows that she is really sensible." This man, in his youth, who has not had a day to spend money recklessly. Madam, I don't think you should blame Ling'er, just treat her as 'eating a trench and growing wise'. ”

"Auntie: Ling'er really knows that she is wrong, Ling'er will never spend money indiscriminately in the future. Yan Ling bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Looking at Yan Ling's pitiful confession, Mrs. Zhou sighed: "Alas...... The old man is right, this young man doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, and the head of the family knows that oil and salt are difficult, so she should be Ling'er and she 'eats a trench and grows wise'. Ling'er, my aunt won't blame you anymore, you must remember today's lesson in the future, and don't wait until you are penniless to know that you are thrifty. ”

"Yes...... Auntie, Ling'er knows. Hearing that her aunt had forgiven herself, Yan Ling finally felt relieved and felt refreshed.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Xiaohua at this time and asked, "Ling'er, who is this little girl? I think she is much more sensible than you." ”

Without waiting for Yan Ling to raise his head and reply, Xiaohua kowtowed and replied, "Madam: My name is Xiaohua." ”

"Oh...... Xiaohua, Xiaohua, where are you from, and why are you with Ling'er?"

Mrs. Zhou's soft voice of care, such as her mother's words, resounded in her ears, and Xiaohua couldn't help but tears rolling down, so she seriously told Mrs. Zhou about her experience.

It turned out that when Xiaohua was born, her hometown was hit by a plague, and her parents fled with her. Later, Xiaohua's father relied on the sugar-boiling skills passed down from his predecessors, set up a candy roadside stall, and made a living by boiling sugar day and night. After several years of hard work, after earning a lot of silver, he began to buy property, buy sugar mills, hire workers, and gradually prosper, and he could afford to hire a private school teacher to teach Xiaohua calligraphy and various etiquette.

But because of several years of hard work, Xiaohua's mother suffered from a disease, and it was difficult to cure it by inviting many doctors, and even Taoist monks and monks did not help to exorcise evil spirits.

This time, Xiaohua's mother was bedridden all the year round, secondly, she gave birth to a daughter, thirdly, Xiaohua's father was middle-aged, and fourthly, there was a lot of spare money at home, so Xiaohua's father disliked her mother and daughter and raised her powder outside. Unexpectedly, the fan head actually gave birth to a boy, and Xiaohua's father beat the gong and beat the drum to marry back to the house.

The fan was ruthless, in order to be the main room, monopolize the family property, secretly poisoned Xiaohua's mother, and then came to mutilate Xiaohua.

The old housekeeper of the mansion took pity on her, so he found an opportunity, secretly sent her out of the mansion in a carriage late at night, and gave her some silver taels, telling her to fend for herself, and to escape as far as possible, it is better than waiting to be killed in the mansion.

Since then, Xiaohua has become a beggar, and at first she also spent money indiscriminately, after all, she was too young, and then although she was sensible, but the silver had already been spent, but fortunately she was smart and clever, and she made herself ugly, so she has saved her life so far. In the end, I had to meet Yan Ling and conclude this fate.

Xiaohua cried and cried after saying what happened, and everyone in the hall burst into tears, lamenting Xiaohua's pity.

Mrs. Zhou said with tears in her eyes: "Xiaohua, your life is so hard, do you know where your home is?"

Xiaohua doesn't remember it, and he doesn't want to go back. ”

"Alas...... What should I do, you're so young. Mrs. Zhou lamented.

"Madam: Although Xiaohua is young, Xiaohua will make the bed and sweep the table, if Madame doesn't dislike it, let Xiaohua be a girl for Sister Yan Ling. After Xiaohua finished speaking, he kowtowed.

"How can this be done? You are so young, how can we be happy?" said Mrs. Zhou.

"If Mrs. is unwilling to take in Xiaohua, Xiaohua will only beg for food, please show mercy to Mrs. and take Xiaohua away. ”

"This ...... Xiaohua...... "Mrs. Zhou took pity on Xiaohua for being young, and she didn't know how to place her for a while, so she hesitated.

At this time, Gongying suggested: "Madam, you don't have to worry about it, just leave Xiaohua to accompany Ling'er, it just so happens that Ling'er lacks a girl who is self-conscious." She can do what she can, and there are other girls who can't do it, and finally take her time, and there is not much for her to eat in the house. ”

When Xiao Hua heard this, he was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, master, thank you, ...... master."

"Alas...... Well, as the old man said, so it's decided. Mrs. Zhou said, "It's almost dawn, so let's go back and rest." Xiaohua, you can sleep with Sister Yan Ling tonight, and make arrangements tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, madam, thank you, madam......" Xiaohua thanked Ling.

Everyone rejoiced, and they left their seats for a while, and they dispersed one after another.

The wise girl was about to ask a few questions, but the night was too deep and she was too embarrassed to disturb, so she had to meet Wenji Yanling briefly and go back to the room to rest.
