The sun was hot, Mo Xiaohe closed the window of the carriage and poured a bowl of herbal tea for Xiaoya from the teapot, and the fruits on the carriage were taken by her and taken to Jiang's house, and they were looted by the Jin family, and there was nothing to quench her thirst in the carriage.

The first time Xiaoya sat in the carriage, she was curious about everything, she put her head against the wall of the carriage, carefully, motionless, very nervous, for fear of moving, the carriage would be broken.

At the window, there is only a small gap, and there is no oil lamp in the car, so everything can be seen clearly. Mo Xiaohe looked at Xiaoya's movements, pursed her lips and smiled, she is still a child.

"Sister Xiaohe, it's better to have a carriage, there is a shed to protect from the wind and rain, and it can run faster than an ox cart."

Mo Xiaohe is a generation lower than Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, and asked Xiaoya to call her sister. Xiaoya's little hand touched the soft cushion of the carriage, with a look of envy, and her father and mother said that only rich families have carriages, because a horse costs dozens of taels of silver, and the richest village chief in the village can't take it out.

"yes, it's comfortable to ride in a carriage."

Mo Xiaohe briefly introduced the interior, the stool can be flipped down, used as a bed, in the summer, if there is no inn around, you can stay in the carriage, hanging mosquito nets, there is a small clean room in the car, for washing, very convenient. Of course, when it's cold, the carriage is like an ice cellar, and only in summer can this condition.

"Come, eat some sugar and fried chestnuts, don't be restrained."

Mo Xiaohe likes Xiaoya very much, touching Xiaoya's head to find a topic, and taking this trip, but for the sale of 10,000 taels of silver, she and Uncle Jiang have only just met after all.

"My eldest brother hasn't been like this for a day or two."

When it comes to Jiang Tiezhu, Xiaoya is still a little depressed, her eldest brother was very good to her before she got married, she was only a few years old at that time, she ran behind her eldest brother all day long, there was delicious food, Jiang Tiezhu was reluctant to eat it himself, and secretly hid it for her.

Later, Jiang Tiezhu got married, and as soon as he got married, the Jin family made a fuss about splitting the family, and the money saved by the Jiang family was almost spent on marriage, and Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang did not agree to split the family.

"In the village, the eldest son supports his father and mother."

The little girl held her cheeks, stuffed the sugar fried chestnuts in her mouth, and said while eating, "I was only four years old at that time, and I only remember one year, the chickens and dogs at home jumped, and the sister-in-law had to make a fuss every day. ”

Xiaoya was still young, so she was instructed to run errands and go to the neighboring village to deliver things to Jin's mother's house, she was not familiar with the road and almost got lost, and it was also because of this incident that Aunt Jiang was furious, and would rather borrow money from people who were familiar with the village, but also build a house and sweep the two out of the house.

Jin has been thinking about this wishful thinking, but he is satisfied, and he will no longer make trouble the next day, waiting to build a house, and choose a far away place, which is close to her mother's house.

"My eldest brother is no longer the eldest brother he used to be."

The little girl swallowed the chestnuts in her mouth, and said bitterly and hatefully, it should have been a very serious matter, but it made Mo Xiaohe almost laugh out loud, the little girl's personality is so cute, even she is thinking, she must give birth to a girl in the future and be an intimate little padded jacket.

Who will she and Gu Zheng's daughter look like? Don't be like him, he has a straight face every day, his face is expressionless, he is young, he should be delicate, and he can be coquettish in her arms, but when he thought of the question of genetics, Mo Xiaohe was deflated.

After chatting for two quarters of an hour, the carriage had already entered the street in the north of the city, Mo Xiaohe pulled Xiaoya out of the carriage, and the husband and wife acted separately, Gu Zheng was responsible for buying wine and snacks, and Mo Xiaohe was here to buy fresh food and some snacks.

The couple discussed, they would not toss at night, stay at Jiang's house for the night, and see the people who are going to follow the convoy tomorrow morning, but also to see Uncle Jiang's eyes. Uncle Jiang was thoughtful before, and even thought about the substitute, but he was afraid that there would be temporary changes, some people would not be able to leave, and the number of people would not be enough.

Mo Xiaohe also said that because it was summer, if it didn't rain, he might have to spend the night in a tent along the way, and from the daughters-in-law of these people, he would pick two capable ones, preferably forty or fifty years old, who would be responsible for cooking, taking over the errand of sewing, and then negotiating the salary.

"Sister Xiaohe, it's so prosperous here, I haven't been here before, is that a jewelry store?"

The little girl was illiterate, and when she saw that the woman went to many places, she thought that she was selling jewelry.

"That's the Silk Village, and there's a silver building over there."

The north of the city is mostly people's homes, the jewelry in the silver building is very close to the people, the cheapest earrings, as long as 100 yuan, the average woman marries, the mother's family can buy a pair, as a dowry.

"Let's go, I'll take you to shop first."

Since you came here, it would be boring to go directly to the market, Mo Xiaohe held Xiaoya's hand tightly, afraid that she would be scattered by the crowd.

The shop owner is gushing about the new styles with customers, what peach blossom pollen, pear pollen, jasmine pollen, each with a faint floral fragrance, fat powder is quite delicate, and the price is several times that of the grocery store.

Xiaoya is still young, but she also knows how to apply this to become beautiful, and when she saw the female guy trying fat powder for customers, she watched curiously, but she was very sensible, and if there was any problem, she silently put it in her heart and didn't say it.

After watching it for a while, Mo Xiaohe first went to the grocery store to buy a bag of sugar, and then bought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, she didn't see much of Jiang's family, because she didn't bring a bottle, she also bought a small porcelain bottle with two cents.

Her behavior is simply extravagant in the eyes of the little girl, and she won't live, the little girl muttered, "Sister Xiaohe, you are all married, and you must be diligent and thrifty in the future." ”

"Okay, be diligent and thrifty."

Mo Xiaohe echoed with a smile, this stupid girl didn't know that the things were bought for the Jiang family, and along the way, she said a lot of life hacks, which made her gain a lot of knowledge.

In the downtown area ahead, there was a notice posted, and there were many people in front of them who stopped to watch, Xiaoya looked at a portrait on it, and asked, "Sister Xiaohe, are you literate, what is written on it?" ”

The portrait posted below is a little familiar, Mo Xiaohe took a look at it more, it turned out to be a reward notice, the sender was Ma Yuanwai, that is, the son-in-law who transferred the money, he had nightmares every night after the tragic death of Liu's and Yuru's widow, panicked, and became thinner and thinner.

I dreamed that the Liu family came back to him and said that he would kill him and let him cut off his children and grandchildren, not only that, but it would make a family like the Ma family that damaged yin and morality never have peace.

Liu's death is more bizarre, so it made trouble in the yamen, the people of Luzhou City spread ten, ten spread hundreds, almost more than half of them knew, the people looked down on the Ma family treacherous and cunning, the family style was not right, the Ma family's shop, the door was full of birds, and everyone avoided it like a plague god.

Ma Yuanwai's father and a few brothers came to the door and asked him to go to the surrounding temples to ask the monks to recite scriptures, and for the dead Liu and the widow with two lives, a master of the rivers and lakes who claimed to be a god operator gave him an idea.

Liu's death was too aggrieved, and he was full of hatred for Ma Yuanwai, so he did not reincarnate after his death and stayed in the world to make trouble. The best way is to marry someone who looks similar to Liu's, and you can marry back to the town.

Ma Yuanwai believed in the words of this charlatan, so he posted notices and offered rewards in various downtown areas, hoping to find someone.

Mo Xiaohe read the small characters on it to the little girl, and the little girl's eyes lit up, and she was very eager to be able to read and write.

But in this era, unless the family conditions are good, you can invite a female gentleman, or someone in the family is literate, otherwise women are generally blind, Mo Xiaohe can only take advantage of her to teach Xiaoya to recognize simple words, and the rest can't help.

The two held hands and went to the cloth village, she bought a floral cloth for Xiaoya to use to make a skirt to wear, and Xiaoya was so happy to hold her waist and not let go.

"Let's go, we've been shopping for half an hour."

said that after an hour of going back and forth, Mo Xiaohe carried a lot of useless things in her hands, and she didn't buy them as if she was eating seriously, she took Xiaoya to the market with a roar, and she was dumbfounded, many vendors were already ready to close their stalls, and the rest was nothing more than some rotten vegetable leaves.

The pork stall only had the last two white and fat pig's trotters, and the stall owner said that someone had booked to go home and keep the stewed soup for the confinement woman to feed, but no one came to pick it up, so it was left.

"Then sell me, go back and cook on high heat for a few hours, it's soft and rotten, just in time for dinner in the evening."

Mo Xiaohe happily gave the stall owner fifteen copper plates, lamenting that pig's trotters are not cheap, fifteen wen, can buy a pork belly, go back to stir-fry, stew meat is good, it is better than no pig's trotters with two taels of meat are bones.

"I'll come."

Here, Gu Zheng saw the two of them from a distance, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

He put the carriage in the carriage shop, left and right, his own lady was nowhere to be seen, he was afraid that she would be interested in shopping, and the things he bought could not be carried, so he looked for it.

"Husband, what did you buy?"

Categorizing the big bags and small bags in her hand and putting them in Gu Zheng's hands, Mo Xiaohe was a lot more relaxed, she clapped her palms, and when she saw it, Xiaoya also had several bags hanging on her body, her face was full of black lines, and she instantly had a sense of employability of child labor.

"Braised pork, roast duck, your favorite roast chicken wings, chicken thighs, peanuts and edamame, two jars of wine, and a few hanging oven cakes."

Gu Zheng rescued Xiaoya again, and the three of them walked around the market, and finally bought a live fish cheaply, and the fish seller overdozed off, and came relatively late, only charging a cost price.

Not far from the carriage and horse shop, there was a pastry shop, Mo Xiaohe thought of the little cub of the Jin family, sighed, and wrapped a few pieces of osmanthus cake and soft golden silk jujube cake for the little girl as a snack.

"Xiaoya, is Sister Xiaohe good to you?"

On the carriage on the way back, Mo Xiaohe pinched Xiaoya's face, her mind was full of a miniature version of Gu Zheng, a long-haired female doll, if her daughter was really long, she decided to develop in Dayue later, in Dawu, I am afraid that she will not be able to marry.

"Okay."

Xiaoya replied without thinking, except for her father, second brother and uncle, Sister Xiaohe is the best person for her, and the little girl held Mo Xiaohe's arm dependently, looking reluctant.

"Then how do you repay Sister Xiaohe?"

Mo Xiaohe was just joking, and he didn't take it seriously.

Xiaoya thought about it and bit her lip, "Xiaoya makes a maid for Sister Xiaohe." ”

Sister-in-law Jin said that no one wants to be a person, they all want to repay their kindness and repay their debts, and the same is true for those who are concubines.

"Maid?"

Mo Xiaohe was startled, and when she asked, she suddenly became even more disgusted with the open-mouthed Jin family, she had never seen such a shameless person, even more so than Widow Fan, and even educated Xiaoya with distorted thoughts, telling Xiaoya that if she wanted to eat and drink spicy food, she would go to a big family to be a concubine, and that would be a good life.

"My mother said that I was still young, and I couldn't open my mouth and close my mouth to talk about marriage, and I didn't dare to ask."

The little girl ate the jujube cake handed over by Mo Xiaohe, with an innocent face, "Sister-in-law also said that going out to be a maid can not only repay the favor, but also make money." ”

Jin wanted to sell Xiaoya to be a maid a long time ago, so she lied that there was a family that had kindness to the family, so Xiaoya offered to be a maid to pay off debts, but at that time the family had been separated, and Jin couldn't come to the door every day, and finally the matter was over.

"Little girl, even if you repay the favor, you don't have to be a maid, you can repay it with money."

Mo Xiaohe scolded the Jin family 10,000 times in her heart, she touched the little girl's head and explained, "After being a maid, you are a slave, and your children will be the same in the future, you can't participate in the scientific examination, you can't win glory for your ancestors, and besides, if the master is unhappy, he can kill you......"

This is exactly the case, the person under the death deed does not have the right to make decisions for himself, Mo Xiaohe simply gave Xiaoya popular science, and the same is true for the concubine, who gives birth to a child is a concubine, and will always be inferior.

I don't know what other moths the Jin family has had, take precautions, she pulled the little girl and said solemnly, "Don't believe Jin's words, if it's so good to be a maid and a concubine, why don't she go?" ”

Xiaoya is the age of ignorance, naïve, but not stupid, after Mo Xiaohe finished speaking, Xiaoya quickly understood, and began to be wary of the Jin family in her heart.
