Today's weather is really wonderful, the sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, and everywhere is a picture of spring full of life. Cai Wei came back from the barracks, took a carriage, and went directly to Shen Xianling's mansion, she happened to have nothing to do today, she planned to do the matter of buying Zhuangzi, and it was better to sow seeds as soon as possible, in case of emergency.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion, Cai Wei and the coachman repaid the car money, got out of the car and went to call the door.

After knocking for a long time, a young man in Tsing Yi came out and asked impatiently: "What are you doing?"

Cai Wei said: "This little brother, please go in and report it, that is, there is a girl surnamed Mu who wants to see your eldest lady." As he spoke, he shoved a piece of silver, which weighed about a penny, into the hand of the servant.

The little guy took the silver, and immediately smiled, he looked around, and whispered his hand: "Miss Mu, something has happened in the house recently, the master has instructed the family not to see guests, if the girl has something important, it is better to write a letter to my eldest lady, and the little one will try to help you transfer it."

Cai Wei's heart moved, what can the Shen Mansion do that is worth closing the door and not seeing guests, could it be that Aunt Yan's matter has been revealed

Thinking of this, she said politely: "Thank you, little brother, in this case, I will go back to write the letter first, and then send it when it is written, and then I will have to bother the little brother to run errands for me."

"It's easy to say, Miss Mu just needs to tell me if she has something."

The little guy is courteous and polite.

As soon as she left the gate of the Shen Mansion, Cai Wei immediately summoned Brother Parrot and asked him to go to the Shen Mansion to check what was going on in the Mansion

Brother Parrot listened to his master's instructions, and immediately quacked, and flew into the Shen Mansion to find out the news.

Cai Wei had nothing to do, so she went to the street to wander around, planned to find a small restaurant nearby, settled breakfast first, and then wrote a letter to Shen Juhua by the way, asking her when she could invite Mrs. Cui to go to Zhuangzi to go through the delivery procedures

It's just that it's still early at this time, and many pubs haven't opened yet, only a few small stalls selling breakfast are open, selling light snacks such as buns, soy milk and porridge.

She wandered around for a while, and sat down in front of the breakfast stall opened by an old couple, and the old man in charge of the stall hurriedly stepped forward and asked kindly, "Girl, what do you want to eat?"

Cai Wei looked at it and said, "Let's have a steamed bun, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of millet porridge."

"Hey, that's good."

The old man put the towel in his hand on his shoulders and happily went to make porridge for Cai Wei.

At this time, a ragged woman with a little girl of six or seven years old timidly walked up to the old man, took a penny, and whispered, "Old man, let's buy a bowl of porridge." ”

The old man who sold the porridge looked at the woman, and then at the timid little girl, sighed, took a spoon and fished it out in the porridge basin, fished out a lot of thick ones, put them in the bowl, and brought them to the two women.

"Thank you, old man"

The woman also saw the old man's actions, and said thank you with a red face.

Cai Wei looked at the woman, and saw that the woman's long eyebrows were clear and beautiful, although her body was ragged, but it was cleaned up, and although the little girl was also dressed in tatters, she was also cleaned up, not sloppy at all.

"Xi Niu'er, eat it while it's hot"

The woman pushed the porridge in front of her daughter and whispered to her.

The little girl stared at the bowl of hot rice porridge with wide eyes, swallowed her saliva with a grunt, but shook her head firmly.

"Xiniu is not hungry, mother eats."

The woman said softly: "Silly girl, my mother is not hungry, my mother has eaten it at my employer's house yesterday, this bowl of porridge is specially bought for you, you eat it, and my mother can go to work with peace of mind." ”

Xiniu listened to her mother's words, blinked twice, lowered her head, and slowly drank porridge

Cai Wei's steamed buns, pickles, and porridge came up, and she withdrew her gaze and began to eat her own breakfast.

The old couple's breakfast is very delicious, the porridge is slowly boiled out of a small fire, sticky and thick, the steamed steamed bun noodles are kneaded very strongly, it tastes fluffy and soft, but it is a pity that the pickles are general, just marinate some mustard gnocchi in a large sauce jar, and then take it out and cut it into thin shreds, and mix some chili oil, minced green onions and coriander in it. If these mustard gnocchi can be marinated in soy sauce and drizzled with sesame oil and sesame seeds, it will definitely taste better.

While eating, Brother Parrot came back with a message.

"Master, something big has happened to the Shen Mansion"

"Something Happened"

Cai Wei gossip rose, holding a piece of steamed buns, and forgot to send it to his mouth.

Parrot Balabala's said: "Master, Master Shen is sick, he was sick by his second aunt, I heard that these young ladies born to his second aunt are not Master Shen's species, Master Shen is not a nest, and he is sick."

"What about the eldest lady and the eldest lady, how are they?"

Cai Wei didn't care if Master Shen was sick or not

"The eldest lady checked the accounts in the mansion, as if she said that there was a lot of income in the mansion over the years, and it was not moved by anyone; The eldest lady was sick in front of Master Shen's bed, and she hadn't closed her eyes for a day and a night."

"Okay, I see, you can come back" Cai Wei closed her thoughts.

It seems that the Chrysanthemum mother and daughter have already made a move, and Mrs. Cui has also taken back her right to take charge of the feed and is about to start settling the general ledger

Cai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, as Chrysanthemum's friend, there was only so much she could help her

As for Aunt Yan, if you don't need Mrs. Cui to make a move, then Shen Zhixian will be the first to spare her, and it is light to take back her power to run the family, so she will even take her life. However, for a vicious villain like her, it can be regarded as deserved.

As a concubine, she does not abide by her duties, does not distinguish between the dignity and inferiority of her concubines, and deliberately murders her mother, oppresses her daughter, and makes the house a miasma, if she doesn't do too much, Cai Wei will not deliberately expose her crimes, the so-called injustice will kill herself, this is the kind of person she is talking about

After breakfast, Cai Wei decided to go back to the inn. According to the current situation of the Shen family, Mrs. Cui is afraid that she will not have time to buy Zhuangzi with her for a long time, so it is useless for her to go, it is better to go back to the inn to make up for sleep, last night I made spiced peanuts and spiced soybeans in the space all night, she is really tired and sleepy now, and she is very tired.

Having made up her mind, she turned back and headed in the direction of the inn.

At this time, there were more people on the street, and teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops on both sides of the street were opened one after another. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open space on both sides. The street stretches to the east and west, until it reaches the quieter suburbs outside the city, and there are constant pedestrians on the streets: there are noble sons in silk clothes, farmers who carry burdens, there are men who drive to deliver goods, there are porters who drive donkeys to pull their feet, everyone walks on the streets on both sides in a hurry, to do their own business, only Cai Wei is alone leisurely looking, eyes from both sides of the house, tea shop, wine shop, foot shop, butcher shop, temple, public house, etc., leisurely.

"Picking Rose"

A hoarse female voice, as if coming from hell, called softly with extreme forbearance and suppression.

Cai Wei turned around, but saw Mu Cai Bottle standing unkempt not far from her, her clothes were tattered, her body was dirty as if she had just crawled out of the garbage heap, and her once delicate and white face, with a blue nose and swollen face, and an obvious scar on her right cheek.

Cai Wei gave her a cold look, turned around and left.

"Cai Wei, big sister"

Cai Bottle eagerly took a few steps forward, stopped in front of Cai Wei, and cried: "Big sister, sister, please help my sister for the sake of our own lineage, my sister is desperate."

As he spoke, he choked up in front of Cai Wei with a pop.

"Since the end of last year, the law family found out that we have the things of the law family in our house, Mrs. law has regarded our family as thieves, no matter how we explain and refuse to listen, in the past few months, she has tormented us in a different way, grandpa and father, as well as the eldest brother and second brother, were all sent by her to take them and become coolies in her family, beating and scolding endlessly; Grandma and my mother were forced by her to go out to borrow money to pay off their debts, and if they couldn't get together fifty taels of silver every month, they would beat our family to death, but because they couldn't get together fifty taels of silver this month, Mrs. Law hit me with the idea and sent me to the inferior kiln to pick up customers, I really couldn't stand the torture, so I secretly ran out a few days ago and fled here. ”

"However, my guide and identity document are in the law family, no identity, I can't find a messenger who wants to make a living, and now I am chased here by the law family, if I am caught back, Mrs. Lu will definitely beat me to death, please sister, for the sake of our surname Mu, help my sister"

After speaking, regardless of the wound on his forehead, he kowtowed to Cai Wei.

Cai Wei hugged her arms and sneered: "How can I help you, according to what you said yesterday, let Mrs. Li's two dogs take me to Mrs. Lu to atone for your sins, or give you money to help you hide"

While crying, Mu Caihua walked to Cai Wei's feet on his knees, pulled Cai Wei's skirt, and cried: "Big sister, don't blame your sister, yesterday it was because my sister knew that you had kung fu on your body, and they must have been helpless against you, so they deliberately said that to get out."

"Huh"

Cai Wei sneered, and pulled the corner of her skirt open, almost throwing Mu Cai Bottle into a big fight.

"At this point, you still don't repent, and you are still quibbling about your behavior, it seems that you are really incorrigible"

As he spoke, he walked away.

Mu Cai saw that Cai Wei was gone. Hurriedly stood up, staggered behind Cai Wei, crying and crying.

"Sister, I know it's our family that's not good, and I shouldn't have treated you like that before, but you have also seen that we have all been punished, and now that our family has been dispersed, are you still not satisfied, do you have to die for us all to relieve the hatred in your heart?"

After speaking, he pulled off the wooden hairpin on his head, aimed it at his throat, and said fiercely: "Okay, since my sister refuses to forgive me, then I will apologize for my sins with death, anyway, I have been forced by the law family to have no way to live, and it is also a death to be caught, it is better to die in front of my sister, so that my sister can vent her evil anger." ”

With that, he raised the hairpin and stabbed it hard.

The wooden hairpin is pointy and extremely sharp, and if it is pierced, it will definitely pierce a bloody hole in the throat. Seeing that the hairpin was about to fall, the bottle was not afraid at all, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stabbed downward.

In the midst of the lightning and fire, Cai Wei stepped forward, grabbed her arm, snatched the wooden hairpin, threw it aside, and said in a calm tone: "Mu Caihua, if you think that your self-harm in front of me will make me feel guilty or sympathetic to you, and will help you, you are very wrong, whether you are dead or disabled, you have nothing to do with me, since the last time you wanted to ruin my appearance with hot tea, there is no half of love between you and me, Since you didn't show mercy to my subordinates for the sake of our fellow lineage, why do you ask me to help you for the sake of the same line?"

"As you said, you and your family have suffered a lot of retribution today, retribution for your family's cruelty and cold-bloodedness to us in the past, this is the end you deserve, you either obediently accept your fate, or find a way to get out of this situation, but, don't gamble with me with your own life, because you can't afford to lose"

After speaking, he shook his hand coldly, turned around and walked away quickly.

Mu Caihua was draped in his hair, and he stood on the street in a miserable manner, looking at Cai Wei's graceful back, dressed in splendid clothes, wearing an eight-treasure golden hairpin on his head, his eyes gradually turned scarlet, and his teeth were gritted.

"Mu Caiwei, what are you pretending, if it weren't for you, how would our family have ended up in such a field, wait for me"

When I went back to the inn, I happened to pass by the Shizhentang Medical Center, Cai Wei glanced in the direction of the medical hall casually, and saw the Xi Niu I met when she had just eaten breakfast, sitting in front of the medical hall with her hands on her cheeks, looking at the dim sum shop next to the medical hall with big eyes.

"Sister"

A cheerful children's voice sounded, and I saw the dog running from the hospital with a happy Xiang Cai with a little short legs.

Cai Wei greeted him and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Goudan'er said: "I accompanied my grandfather in the medical hall for acupuncture, and it looked like a sister from a distance, but when I ran out, it was really my sister."

Cai Wei scratched his little nose and asked with a smile: "What did you do to find your sister?"

"The dog misses my sister, and I ate breakfast on time."

The little baby smiled and said, "With the silver given by my sister, my grandfather and I can eat enough every day." ”

After speaking, he turned around and pointed to the little girl sitting on the front steps of the hospital, and whispered: "I also bought a piece of osmanthus cake for Xiniu."

Cai Wei followed his short fingers and looked at Xi Niu, and saw that Xi Niu was sitting there obediently, staring at the dim sum shop with a pair of big eyes, and never moved away for a moment.

"What is she doing there, but she eats dim sum?"

"It's not"

As soon as Goudan heard that his sister had misunderstood his little friend, he immediately waved his hand to clarify for her.

"Xi Niu's mother works in the dim sum shop, and she is waiting for her mother outside."

Cai Wei sighed: "Why don't Xi Niu go to the shop to wait for her mother, the little girl's house, sitting alone outside, how good is it to be abducted by Huazi"

Hearing this, Goudan'er pouted, and showed a look of disgust on her little face: "The old pious woman in the dim sum shop is afraid that Xiniu will steal her snacks, so she is not allowed to enter the shop, and even her mother has to search her body every night when she gets off work."

Cai Wei said: "Wait a few days, my sister is going to buy a big Zhuangzi in the suburbs, you go and ask Xi Niu'er and her mother, if they are willing to go to the Zhuangzi with their sister, if they are willing to do things in the Zhuangzi, they can be together all day long, and they don't have to be separated." ”

"It's such a good thing"

Goudan'er's little face immediately showed a look of surprise, "Sister, can I go with grandpa, we can all work, I can herd sheep, grandpa can work more, we won't eat rice"

Cai Wei pinched his little face and said with a smile: "Yes, not only you, but also beggars, fools, and people who have no ability to work, as long as they are good people, they can live in Zhuangzi."

In fact, Cai Wei has long thought about setting up a support hall in Zhuangzi to support those socially disadvantaged groups who have no ability to work, and the homeless people who have the ability to work but have no livelihood can also live there, but they have to pay labor to be qualified to live, she will pay them according to the amount of their labor, in that big Zhuangzi, as long as the people who work, can have money to earn, no labor, can not work, although there is no money to earn, but they can also eat and dress warmly like everyone

"Great, sister, I'll tell Sù Xi Niu'er and Grandpa"

The dog ran away, went to tell Xi Niu'er and her grandfather the good news, looking at his cheerful back, Cai Wei smiled knowingly, since she inherited the fairy island of Cihai Zhenren, she should inherit and carry forward the spirit of Cihai Zhenren and people's kindness
