56 Chapter 56
Xia Bilei saw a middle-aged woman in her early forties, of course, this age was already an old woman in ancient times.
The middle-aged woman is kind and kind-hearted, slightly chubby, with a round and smooth face that looks very kind and comfortable, but there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, of course, what attracts Xia Bilei the most is her black and thick hair, it is not easy to not grow a single white hair at this age, I don't know if she is happy to tell about hair care recipes, I heard that all kinds of recipes in ancient times were secret.
"Big girl, woo......" Mama Zheng couldn't help but rush over and hug her and cry when she saw Xia Bilei, "You suffered......"
The more Mama Zheng thought about it, the more sad she became, the poor big girl didn't know what was going on, all her hair was shaved, these traffickers who killed a thousand knives!
Xia Bilei was particularly complaining, her new clothes were still pink skirts, beautiful, and now she was soaked in tears and snot. The eyes of the helper looked behind Mama Zheng, okay, a seven or eight-year-old little maid and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old tall and thin little girl cried even worse.
"Don't cry...... Xia Bilei comforted Mama Zheng with a bitter face, "Don't you see I'm fine now, my hair will grow sooner or later." "It's okay not to be comforted, but Mama Zheng cried even more fiercely when she comforted her, her delicate and lively eldest girl, everyone loved her, how could the traffickers who killed a thousand knives be willing to hurt her.
After a long time, Mama Zheng finally calmed down, and after listening to her chatter, Xia Bilei knew that the fat shopkeeper really had a heart, and actually let the carrier pigeon send the letter, and it was Mama Zheng and her party who came so quickly.
"It's hard work for Mama and Brother Qingshan." Xia Bilei looked at Mama Zheng with a grateful face, this is her mother's proud person, and she is also pampered in the house, and she is so old that she went out of her way to pick her up.
The little girl Qingshan cracked his mouth and smiled, "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's great that the big girl is safe and sound." "The old lady must be very happy, and her mother will not sigh all day long.
"Madame originally wanted to pick you up in person, but the young master is still young, and the second girl is sick again." Mama Zheng spoke softly, and it could be seen that she was well educated, "After you were abducted, your wife washed her face with tears every day, and she was seriously ill before, and she always blamed herself for not taking you ...... favorably."
Xia Bilei had a worried expression on her face, "Mother...... She's fine, how can I blame my mother for being abducted, it's because I'm disobedient and running around, if I stay at home obediently, I won't be abducted...... And if the mother is sick, if anything happens to her......"
"Don't worry, Madame's body has already healed, and now she is in good spirits when she hears that the eldest girl is fine, and you can't blame the eldest girl for this, who doesn't come out to see the lanterns during this Lantern Festival, but hates the traffickers too rampant!" Qingshan was born Qingxiu, there is a smart and naughty energy between his eyebrows, but he is in the period of voice change, he speaks like a duck, he is a person who loves to talk and laugh, during this time the atmosphere in the house is strong, he became a saw-billed gourd, and now the girl has found it, and now he has resumed his character of loving to talk and laugh, and the non-stop croaking sound makes Xia Bilei almost not laugh.
"Shut up when the sound is so ugly." Mama Zheng blushed, "People who don't know still think it's a duck calling." ”
"Mother, why do you say that about me, I'm a duck, what are you? Duck mother? Aoyama looked sad and indignant.
"Stinky boy, if you don't fight for a day, you will go to the house and uncover the tiles! I'm a duck mother, what is your father, duck male? ”
Xia Bilei covered her mouth and laughed so much that her shoulders were shaking, Mama Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that there is no psychological shadow for the eldest girl to be abducted, otherwise she would have wanted to dig up the grave of the trafficker and whip the corpse.
"Okay, go out and call Erya in." Mama Zheng said angrily, and turned to Xia Bilei again's mother's face, "Madame's health is all right now, and I'm waiting for you to go home every day." ”
"This is a little maid bought for the eldest girl halfway, the original name is Erya, it's too cheesy, this time the road to Haicheng is still far away, come, give her a name." Mama Zheng looked at Xia Bilei with a loving expression, thinking that she had to go to the pharmacy to buy some hair growth and hair medicine before going back, and it was the fastest to take a boat back to Haicheng, now is the time for smooth sailing, at most a month will arrive, I hope that the eldest girl's hair can grow out within this month, otherwise Mrs. will be so sad to see it.
She's a wretched! Xia Bilei glanced at the furnishings in the room, and a plate of summer green pears from Zhuangzhou on the table came into view, "I think it's called Sydney." "The original owner's sister is a lover of wind and snow, and the girls in the house all have a snow word.
The corners of Mama Zheng's mouth twitched, a group of maids in the big girl's house are very elegant, what Xue Yan, Xue Ran, this time there is a Sydney, it is always not a good match.
The seven or eight-year-old little girl was born as black as charcoal, she really didn't match the word pear, and she was as thin as a hemp pole, but fortunately, her facial features were born well, her round face and round eyes were very cute, she happily saluted, "Thank you big girl for the name, I like this name, I like to eat pears the most." ”
Fortunately, she likes it, Xia Bilei breathed a sigh of relief and handed her a large plate of green pears, "If you like it, let's give this to you, don't look at the skin is green, it's sweet." ”
A large plate is given to her? The little maid sucked her saliva and was about to take the fruit, but she heard the eldest girl staring at her hand as thin as dry wood with some concern and said, "I forgot, this plate is very heavy, can you handle it?" ”
Sydney took the plate steadily, and held it high above her head with one hand, "I have a lot of strength, and Mama also bought me because of my strength." ”
Mama Zheng nodded, "Let's take the pears out to eat, I'll talk to the eldest girl." ”
Sydney smiled and said, "The slave maid went out to find Brother Qingshan to eat pears together, if there is anything to contribute, it is called the slave maid, thank you big girl, thank you Mama." ”
"This girl really has a lot of strength." Mama Zheng sighed, "Adult men may not be able to compare, but she also eats more, five or six bowls of a meal beckons her stepmother's eyes, and she will sell her if she can't afford to raise her. ”
"Xue Yan Xue Ran...... You okay. Of course, Xia Bilei can know what happened from her sister's memory, but she doesn't want to arouse the suspicion of others, and if she can, she doesn't want to unseal too many sisters' memories, there are too many painful and sad facts.
"Madame was merciful, and each of them slapped twenty boards and returned their deeds of sale to their families." Mama Zheng patted her hands, "These two little hooves have eaten for nothing, and even the eldest girl can't look down on them, and it would be merciful for Madame not to sell them." ”
"Mama, you rest for two days before we leave, you see what your face has become, if you go back like this, my mother will blame me, and if you get sick, Bi Lei will be distressed." Xia Bilei said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll fix a book for my father and mother first......"
Mama Zheng couldn't laugh, "The eldest girl knows a lot of words?" "Although the eldest girl is not a playful person, she is usually angry, and she is not a person who can calm down and study, how can she read a lot.
"Hehe, if I can't write, I'll draw a picture for my father and mother to guess, and if I can't draw a picture, I can only ask Brother Qingshan to help, didn't Brother Qingshan also go to school?"
"Don't mention your brother Qingshan, let him read and actually say that he is not that material, he wants to drive horses for the master, and he is not a motivated boy, his father doesn't know how many rattan whips he has broken." Mama Zheng is the face of the stepmother when she talks about her son, what a good person the old lady is, her family is a child, and it is a great merit for Mrs. to allow her son to study, but the sons she gave birth to are stupid, not this material!
"Mama rest assured, Brother Qingshan is smart, and he is a champion in his deeds." Xia Bilei is telling the truth, this Qingshan can be clever, and if you can't read, it doesn't mean that other places can't.
"Then borrow the girl's auspicious words." Mama Zheng smiled with relief.
**
After two days of recuperation in Zhuangzhou, a group of people went on the road. Xia Bilei took the silver to buy a lot of Zhuangzhou specialties and brought them back, which caused Mama Zheng to almost fall into tears, and wiped it with a handkerchief, even praising Xia Bilei for her filial piety.
Qingshan muttered in a low voice, "The big girl farts, and her mother praises her for being fragrant." ”
Xia Bilet was speechless, it's not a good thing that her ears are too smart, it's just that Qingshan is thirteen this year, so it's hard to start middle two.
The fat shopkeeper carried a lot of things onto the boat for Xia Bilei to take home, and Mama Zheng repeatedly excused herself.
"I said Mama Zheng, don't shirk it, this is my young master said that he wanted to worship his sister, I received a letter from my wife, she was happy, said that she gave birth to a young master, and now she has a goddaughter, but unfortunately she can't see each other, and she told me that the gift must not be missing." The fat shopkeeper ignored Mama Zheng and asked people to carry things onto the boat, "This is given by the young master and his wife, I dare to be corrupt and I have to leave, Mama Zheng, don't harm me, I have old and young......"
Xia Bilei was helpless, "Mama, just accept it, I and Chubby are not only friends of life and death, but also of worship." "No matter how valuable these things are, they can't measure the affection between them.
The boat started, and Xia Bilei waved goodbye to the fat shopkeeper until the boat disappeared from sight.
The fat shopkeeper wiped his tears, the young master recognized this girl is a good girl, although the temperament is almost, but she is good-hearted and loves to laugh, knowing that he also loves to eat, shopping and meeting food always do not forget to bring him a copy, he let people send to make clothes The cloth always picks the beautiful and not expensive, knows the duty, knows the advance and retreat, and does not rely on the relationship with the young master to ask for this and that...... Madame has such a righteous daughter, I don't know how happy she is.
Mama Zheng couldn't help but open the box and look at it, she was almost taken aback by the generous gift, the corners of Xia Bilei's mouth twitched, is this the rhythm of selling herself to the fat family? I didn't accept it if I knew it......
"This box is a fine fox skin, a wolf skin...... This box is ginseng, look at this whisker for 300 years, and once you give it back, it will be five...... There is also this box of dragon's eye big pearls and gem heads...... "Mama Zheng's eyes straightened, and she grabbed Xia Bilei's hand, "Big girl, you didn't promise the Qiu family any conditions, such as promising to marry someone's son when he grows up...... "These things are dowry or something."
Xia Bilei was angry and funny, and hurriedly comforted her, "I've all married someone, how can I still marry...... Don't worry, the fat family has a lot of silver, it's a big deal to wait until we have silver in our family and give more gifts...... "sighed secretly, money can't measure affection, that's because there is not enough money."
Mama Zheng muttered, "Who said that you can't marry if you get married, you can't marry if you don't have biological brothers and sisters, our family is a scholarly family, and you can't marry a merchant's ......."
Thinking too much, Xia Bilei decisively left to find Sydney, she must have found something delicious from the kitchen again. 166 Reading Network
