The two people who were assigned by Mo Shouzhen to protect Eleven Niang are cousins, formerly known as Wanfu and Wanbao, who fled to the towns around Jianghuai due to famine in their hometown, and were surprised by Mo Shouzhen's people and accepted into the training camp.

From the time the two started training to being recommended by Jiang Yi to be brought to Mo Shouchen, it was only a year.

Combining the strength of the two, although it is far from Jiang Yi, it can still compete with Yan Xia and Huichun! You must know that Yan Xia and Hui Chun are people who have been practicing martial arts since childhood!

Mo Shouzhen was very amazed at their growth rate, and he was even more appreciative of the adult Eleven Niang who proposed the systematic training method.

Eleven Niang naturally didn't know this, what she thought was that the Huang family mentioned in Yan Xia's letter had brought the old lady to make trouble, and the people in the old house already knew that Sanfang still had some silver in his hands, and he didn't know how many incidents had occurred.

She was anxious, for fear that Xia Chenghe and Luo would suffer losses, so she hurried and changed horses after passing the post station, and she arrived in Qingshui Town in less than ten days after half a month's journey.

When the three of them arrived at Qingshui Town, it was already dark and the city gate was closed.

Wanfu stepped forward and knocked on the door several times, but was scolded and rejected by the soldiers in the city, and Wanbao stepped forward and got the same result.

The two looked back at Eleven Niang helplessly.

Shi Niang smiled and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from her sleeve and handed it over, "Try again." ”

Wanfu took it and tried again, and there was a light laugh from inside, but in a moment, a gap that only allowed one person and one horse to pass was opened, and the soldier also had a little smile on his face, "For the sake of you being in a hurry, I will let you go once, and next time you can remember the time when the city gate was closed, don't make it difficult for my brothers." ”

Wan Fu was surprised, stunned for a moment, and smiled and clenched his fists, "Youlao, I won't be there next time." ”

The soldier walked past him and looked at Wan Bao and Shi Niang behind him, smacked his lips, and urged, "Don't hurry up yet." ”

The three of them rode into the city and went straight to Yanghuai Hutong in the east of the city.

There are two big red lanterns hanging on the door of the house that I haven't seen for a long time, and a soft beam of light falls on the not spacious Hutong Road, which is full of warmth.

Eleven Niang dismounted with a smile, stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door was only a moment, and it was opened, Fang Bo said in surprise, "Eleven girl? ”

"Uncle Fang." Eleven Niang smiled.

Uncle Fang hurriedly opened the door, "Eleventh girl, come in, I'll go and tell the master and wife." ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly stopped him, "It's too late, don't wake them up." You help them find a place to sleep, and they can get together for the night, and then talk about it tomorrow. ”

Uncle Fang responded with a smile, first led the two of them to the stable, and then returned to the room.

Eleven Niang went all the way back to listen to Hexuan in the moonlight.

The courtyard was quiet, and the crooked crescent moon hung in the sky, with a hazy beauty.

Eleven Niang went to the room where she lived with Yuan Niang, lit a fire and went to look inside the house, dumbfounded.

There is nothing empty, and it is rare to find a quilt.

Eleven Niang had no choice but to go out to the house where Banniang and Xiao Twelve lived, but she didn't want Banniang to be confused and didn't see people clearly, so she shouted, "Who?!" ”

jumped up and fought with Eleven Niang.

When Eleven Niang avoided her and lit a fire to let her see who she was, Banniang pounced on her with a whimper and shouted, "Eleven Niang! ”

Eleven Niang resisted the urge to hold her forehead.

The people in the courtyard were still alarmed!

Luo and Xia Chenghe rushed over without putting on their clothes, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Banniang pointed at Eleven Niang and smiled, "Dad, mother, look, who's back?" ”

"Eleven Niang!"

Luo was stunned and said happily, "Why are you back here?" He looked behind Eleven Niang again, "What about your eldest sister?" ”

Xia Chenghe coughed lightly, Luo's body stiffened slightly, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry?" Tired or not? Mother will make you something to eat......"

Shi Niang shook her head, took Luo's arm, and said with a smile, "Mother, we came back after dinner, you don't have to work...... We met Miss Mo San in Jianghuai, and it was not good that our sisters all came back, leaving Miss Mo San alone in Jianghuai, so I came back first. ”

Luo opened his mouth and smiled, "That's right, you should leave someone to accompany Miss Mo San." ”

Erniang and Sanniang heard the movement, put on their clothes and went out, and were surprised to see Eleven Niang, "Eleven Niang ......"

Xia Chenghe persuaded with a smile, "Okay, it's not early, hurry up and go to sleep, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Xia Chenghe and Luo went back to the main room, and Erniang and Sanniang went back next door.

Banniang closed the door and pulled Eleven Niang to ask with interest, "Is Jianghuai so fun?" What's there? I heard that there is a lot of water, do you have to take a boat when you go out? What's wrong with Hu Qiu'er......"

A litany of questions.

"Eighth sister, I'm so tired......"

Eleven Niang lay down and pretended to be asleep, Banniang dialed her a few times, saw that she didn't speak, turned the probe around her face a few times, and said to herself, "My face is thin, I'm really tired......"

After speaking, he pulled the quilt and tucked it away for Eleven Niang, and stopped talking.

Eleven Niang didn't know when she really fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was nearly noon on the second day.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I met a pair of big black eyes, and when I saw her wake up, her eyes were shining, and she pounced on her with a smile, "Eleventh sister!" ”

Happily writhing on her.

"Little Twelve." Eleven Niang also laughed, hugged Xiao Twelve's waist, and kissed her white and tender face twice, in exchange for Xiao Twelve's giggles, and twisted more happily in her arms.

Erniang and Sanniang were holding the embroidery shed and laughing on the side.

Roche pushed the door in, "But woke up?" ”

Eleven Niang raised her head and called Luo, "Mother." ”

Roche smiled, "Get up and wash your face, I'll serve you something to eat." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, and Luo Shi covered the door and turned around.

Eleven Niang hugged Xiao Twelve, and the sisters rolled again, tired and crooked

The two of them rolled again, greasy, and Eleven Niang got up at the urging of Er Niang and San Niang.

There was a knock on the door, but it was Yan Xia who came in with the food.

Yan Xia explained with a smile, "Mrs. Ding in the alley is here, and Mrs. is talking with her. ”

Eleven Niang thought of Yan Xia's mention at the end of the letter that Mrs. Ding wanted to ask for Banniang for her son, and laughed, "Do you know what it is?" ”

"I said that there is a new shop selling fabrics in the west of the city, and I want to go with my wife to see the goods......" Yan Xia said, and glanced at Erniang and Sanniang meaningfully, with a smile flashing on his round face.

Eleven Niang also laughed, and ate half a bowl of porridge with a plate of cucumbers with sauce and a plate of green onion and eggs.

After a while, Banniang came back from practicing martial arts in the garden, sweating profusely, and there was still mud on her body, Erniang hurriedly got up and went to Zhang Luo Hot Water to let Banniang wash.

Yan Xia went to serve, Banniang was not hypocritical, in front of her sisters, except for her outer clothes, only her belly pocket and dirty clothes were left, and she took a handkerchief and wiped her body with wet water.

In the gap between getting dressed, Huichun came, "Fang Shusheng heard that you are back and wants to see you...... said that the girl asked for a hundred sets of four books and five classics, and he only had a few sets left to complete, and he wanted to ask the girl a time and when to teach him gambling. ”

"Teach what? Taught him to sell the Fang family's sister to gamble again? Banniang snorted, looking very disdainful.

Erniang and Sanniang also frowned, looking worried, "Eleven Niang, do you really want to teach him?" ”

Shi Niang nodded, "Since he wants to learn, I will naturally teach, but ......" Shi Niang smiled and winked at the three of them, "How much he can learn is his problem." ”

Banniang was the first to understand what Eleven Niang meant, sneered, and slapped Eleven Niang on the shoulder, "Eleven Niang, you are so bad." ”

Erniang and Sanniang also reacted and smiled.

Eleven Niang said to Huichun, "Go and tell him, come to me after writing, I won't be going anywhere recently." ”

Eharu retreated.

Banniang slumped comfortably on the big kang near the window, humming and chirping, "Ouch, I'm tired to death!" I didn't see her so tired when I watched Eleven Niang before? Why is it my turn to be so tired......"

"Eighth sister, if you don't say it, I won't know that you are tired." Eleven Niang and Xiao Twelve turned over the flower rope and laughed.

Banniang was stunned, and wanted to say something to refute Eleven Niang, but suddenly remembered that when Eleven Niang practiced martial arts, it was the most unsatisfactory time for their three rooms to live in the old mansion......

Banniang snorted, "Those people in the old house just can't see our family's life being good!" ”

Erniang and Sanniang glanced at each other in surprise, and they didn't understand why they were talking about martial arts training, and why they suddenly turned to those people in the old mansion.

Banniang has turned over and said, "You don't know, some time ago, a doctor suddenly came to the door and said that Sifang owed money and asked him to find his father and mother, and his father and mother saw that the doctor was crying pitifully, so he gave him silver, who knew that he would take revenge on the place where our family lived to sue the Huang family, and the Huang family took the old lady to make trouble, and the people in the alley said that we gossip!" If it weren't for Yan Xia's cleverness, I don't know if the old lady would come up with any vicious methods! ”

Erniang and Sanniang sighed in unison.

Banniang said again, "The old doctor came to ask for silver again, and my father and mother were not at home, so I just blasted it out!" The silver owed by the fourth room, why should we help her pay it back? They have the money to open a shop but no money to treat Xia Erlang, who are they fooling! ”

Eleven Niang glanced at Yan Xia without a trace, and Yan Xia nodded slightly.

Eleven Niang smiled and said, "Have you opened a shop in the fourth room?" Where does their money come from? Will grandma say yes? Will the big house and the second room be willing? ”

"Who knows where their money came from! This matter is still from the fifth uncle......" Banniang pouted, looking indignant, "It was Dafang who instigated grandma to nod!" The second uncle said a few words, and was scolded by the old lady, and the second uncle didn't go back to the old house recently, saying that it was their owner who was rushing to work, and he lived there to process ......"

Second Uncle......

Banniang chattered a lot, Eleven Niang listened carefully, asked a sentence or two from time to time, and continued to say like a bamboo tube pouring beans......

"Grandma wanted to let the aunt and uncle go to the shop to help, but the fourth aunt said that she had asked his eldest brother to help, and she didn't dare to work on the aunt's fight, and the angry milk pointed at the fourth uncle and scolded him for being unfilial for a long time." Ba Niang tsk, "The fourth uncle didn't buy it at all, saying that if he didn't let the aunt go, he wouldn't let the aunt go, and then the lord came forward to intercede, and the fourth uncle said, 'The eldest sister is not the Xia family if she marries the Yang family, and it's your business how your father and mother want to help, it's not easy for us to get some money in the four rooms, and we have to give Erlang and Wulang to marry their daughters-in-law!" 'Lord's face was blue at that time, hehe......"

Banniang smiled very relieved, her eyes were shining, and she approached Eleven Niang awkwardly, "I also heard from the fifth uncle that the aunt pounced on the fourth uncle at that time to catch the fourth uncle's face, saying that the silver she hid in the kang cave was stolen by the fourth uncle, and the fourth aunt beat her up ......."

Thinking of the appearance of the two shrews scolding the street, Eleven Niang also laughed.

After lunch, Shi Niang went to see Zhou's, Zhou's legs were good, and he could walk on the ground slightly, but he was far less neat than before.

Eleven Niang sat down slightly, and then went back to listen to Hexuan.

Taking advantage of the family's nap, Eleven Niang and Yan Xia went to the back garden.

Yan Xia said, "The newly opened shop pù in the south of the city is called Baiwei Zhai, which specializes in selling all kinds of pastries. The master invited by the big house said that the two rooms would open a shop together, and the profits would be divided into fifty percent. It opened five days ago, and the big house invited many students from the same department and college to cheer for it, and the first day was full of visitors......"

After thinking about it, he said, "The Huang family and Xia Chengle looked at a few houses with big houses on their backs, and seemed to intend to buy a family business in the town. ”

Eleven Niang snorted and asked, "Didn't you mention Xia Hongxia to help over there in the old mansion?" ”

Yan Xia shook his head, "The slave maid listened to the instructions of the eleventh girl, hid the silver in the Xia family's small shop and stole it for the fourth room, and then deliberately leaked the news to Xia Hongxia and his wife. ”

The fourth room suddenly had money to open a shop

The silver opened a shop, and the eldest daughter's silver was lost at this time, and the old lady who regarded the silver as a bag would be able to endure this breath!

And without the third room, the fourth room, which openly provoked the authority of the patriarch, was afraid that he was also worried about Old Man Xia.

Eleven Niang's eyebrows were slightly curved and she smiled.

"Girl, do you want the slave to add another fire?"

"No, you don't."

Eleven Niang took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from her arms and handed it to Yan Xia, "I went to find the shopkeeper Liu, and let him act in the next two days." ”

Yan Xia answered, "Yes." ”

Eleven Niang asked another thing, "When my fifth uncle came to the house, did he mention his family affairs to my father?" ”

"Family?" Yan Xia lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "There seems to be such a thing, Fifth Uncle Xia said that the girl of the Li family rejected his proposal." ”

Refused?

Eleven Niang was surprised, didn't she say that the fifth uncle and the girl of the Li family were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship?

How could it be refused?

Ask Yan Xia again, Yan Xia doesn't know.

Eleven Niang frowned and replied to Hexuan with questions, and asked Luo Shi at a time in the evening.

Luo Zheng took the soles of his shoes, listened to his daughter's question, stopped his movements and sighed, "That girl from the Li family looks soft, and she is also a fierce person, and she recognizes that if she wants to recruit money, she doesn't want to do that thing that is cut first and then played." ”

Eleven Niang was puzzled, "The result of the matter is the same, how can it ......?"

Luo shook his head, "My mother is afraid that when the matter is exposed, the old man of the Li family will be poked in the backbone, and even your fifth uncle will be embarrassed in the old mansion, and your fifth uncle has been worried about this recently...... Listen to what your fifth uncle means, if this matter can't be booked in the next two months, the Li family will have to find a matchmaker to help them find a son-in-law. ”

Belch......

"Didn't the fifth uncle say that the girl of the Li family has a gentle temperament?"

Luo glanced up at his daughter and sighed pityingly, "The Li family has only one daughter, no matter how gentle she is, she has to hold up the façade, and this Li family girl is also a hard worker." ”

"What does the fifth uncle mean......" Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh.

Luo sighed, "Your fifth uncle left home at a young age, followed the old man of the Li family for ten years, and the girl of the Li family has been in a relationship since childhood, where do you care if it is a son-in-law, besides, the Li family has also expressed its position, as long as a male baby follows the surname Li, it will be, and nothing else matters!" But your grandmother just won't let go of this ......"

Thinking of Xia Chengxiang's desperated expression, Luo couldn't help but shake his head.

"Why wouldn't grandma?" Eleven Niang couldn't help but wonder, "Although the Li family is an ironworker, it has been in business for decades, and it can be regarded as a small production, so the milk is not greedy?" ”

Luo was stunned, and reacted to the meaning of his daughter's words, and couldn't help glaring at his daughter with disgust, but he didn't refute his daughter's words, and sighed, "Your father went back to talk to your second uncle, but your second uncle was kicked out by your father before he could talk about your fifth uncle." That's how it fell......"

Eleven Niang nodded, people like Old Man Xia and Old Lady Qiao would rather strangle their son to death than let their son be a son-in-law in someone else's house!

What about the fifth uncle's relatives?

"What about the fifth uncle?"

Roche smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Where else is there any way!" Marrying is a major event, and it has been the order of parents since ancient times, and the words of the matchmaker ......"

Xia Chenghe pushed the door in, and when he saw the faces of the two, he was stunned, "What's wrong?" You two look so ugly? ”

"Tell me about her fifth uncle and the girl of the Li family." Roche sighed.

Xia Chenghe sighed.

Eleven Niang didn't want to make the two of them sleep badly because of this, so she smiled and said, "Mother, you made an appointment with Mrs. Ding to go to the west of the city tomorrow to see the fabric?" ”

Luo's face was a little pale, and he smiled, "It is said that it is a newly opened shop, and the shopkeeper was opened by a small servant released by her former master's family, and the lady of that little house has some friendship with her." You can save a lot of money by buying it from her. ”

Eleven Niang smiled, this Mrs. Ding is indeed a good person.

She took her mother to go, firstly, to pull business for the lady of the shop, and secondly, to let her save money, and to please both sides.

Fortunately, Mrs. Nading didn't have any bad intentions, and Eleven Niang didn't care about it, so she made a joke and said, "Then I'll go with me tomorrow to take a look, it's hot, pull some more and come back to make summer clothes." ”

Roche patted his forehead, "Mother forgot about this, and told your father a few days ago." Cheng, you go with your mother tomorrow, let's pick some more good-looking ...... Mrs. Ding said that they have a green silk cloth that sells very well, and it is cool to wear in the summer, and it is cool to look at......"

Eleven Niang continued, saying what style to do, what flowers to embroider, and what headdress to wear......

On the second day, Eleven Niang saw Mrs. Ding, who was rich, round and jade, fair complexion, and very shrewd eyes. Mrs. Xia is really blessed......"

As he spoke, he took off a bracelet on his hand, "My aunt gave it to you, and I put it on you." ”

Roche hurriedly refused, but was stopped by Mrs. Ding with a smile, "It's not worth a few dollars, let the child play." ”

Eleven Niang bowed her knees and thanked her, and was helped up by Mrs. Ding and praised again.

By the time the few people arrived at the west of the city, it was already an hour later.

Eleven Niang asked Yan Xia to find a place to rest, and she accompanied Roche and Mrs. Ding to the cloth shop in Mrs. Ding's mouth.

A little stuck today, try to get more tomorrow.
