Chapter 85: Idleness
A small room in the pavilion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ji Qianxia took out a piece of rouge paper from the small sachet he carried. This is to prepare for washing up and touching up makeup after meals. I didn't expect it to come in handy.
"Mother An, please go to the theater to listen to your old man, I'll be there later." Ji Qianxia instructed the Lu family's mother-in-law to avoid it.
The mother-in-law hesitated, glanced at the humble young nurse, and squeezed a smile stiffly: "Okay." ”
She walked briskly.
The footsteps almost disappeared, and the young servant woman suddenly knelt down at Ji Qianxia: "Miss Ji, please help the slave." ”
"Get up, get up and speak." Ji Qianxia stopped her and asked, "It's not the time to cry, you just talk about things." I will do my best to help you if I can. ”
The young servant wiped the corners of her mouth and sniffed.
It turned out that the servant woman's name was Xiuniang. He lives in a village under JX County, Linjiang Prefecture.
A few days ago, I took my children to my husband to take a boat to the mountains to burn incense and worship Buddha, and was on the same boat with a businessman. The child is still young, and he will be waiting to be fed after a while. Just because the boat was small and couldn't be avoided, he dodged a little and began to feed the child.
Unexpectedly, it caused trouble like this.
The businessman said that Xiuniang was his woman, and her husband did not follow her. A lawsuit was filed. The merchant claimed that there was a mole next to Xiuniang**, so he took her to Taiping County next door, and then sold it.
Because Xiangguofu was looking for a young, clean, pleasing and honest nurse, she was sold here again.
"This, that's ridiculous, isn't it?" Ji Qianxia was stunned.
Xiuniang hid her face and sobbed lowly.
"Didn't you, your husband, provide more thorough evidence? Just watching you get snatched away by that profiteer? ”
Xiuniang whispered: "My family's nature is honest and stupid, how can I be worthy of the clever words of that wicked person." In addition, the county magistrate was dizzy, so he lost the lawsuit. ”
"Poor!" Ji Qianxia asked again: "What about your child?" ”
Speaking of this, Xiuniang hid her face and was heartbroken: "The child was taken away by my family." It's just because the profiteers don't want to bring an extra oil bottle. Just forcibly separated me from the child. My little baby is only half a year old. Will this be okay anymore? Whining. ”
Ji Qianxia rubbed his eyebrows and felt that it was very difficult to do.
"Do you know what kind of person that profiteer is from and what kind of business he is? Where to stay? ”
Xiuniang shook her head: "The slave only knows one name, and the rest don't know." ”
"Can you read?"
"I don't know."
Ji Qianxia thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it will take some time to punish profiteers, so you can take your time." Now it's time to find a way to get you home. I just don't know, how much did it cost Xiangguofu to buy you in? ”
Xiuniang whispered: "Twenty taels of silver death deed." ”
"So little?" Ji Qianxia blurted out.
Xiuniang lowered her head: "It's a lot, enough for our villagers to live for many years." ”
Ji Qianxia was relieved.
One tael of silver in the Xia Dynasty was equivalent to five hundred yuan in later generations. One tael of silver can buy rice and two stones. If you save it, it will not only be used at home for many years, but it will be regarded as a small fortune.
"You can stay in Xiangguo's Mansion for the time being, and I'll find other ways." Ji Qianxia frowned: "I can't guarantee how long it will take to send you back, at least I can tell you." I've got that in mind. ”
"Thank you, Miss Ji." Xiuniang was grateful.
"Go back first, I'll send someone to inquire." Ji Qianxia thought about it in his heart.
If she takes out the silver to redeem Xiuniang, I don't know if Lu Mansion will sell this account? Maybe it's selling, but the process will be troublesome, right? spread out, it seems that she is nosy. I also went to someone else's house.
There is only one way, cooperate with Nie Qiyang.
With Nie Qiyang's hot-blooded and impulsive temperament, he would be happy to have such an idle matter.
appeased the good Xiuniang, and the light summer was almost gone, so she slowly went to the theater.
The troupe raised by Lu Xiangguo is performing auspicious dramas to help his birthday. All the ages gathered in the theater to listen to the music. On the way, there are a lot of girls and mothers-in-law who come and go. Some of them serve the guests with tea and snacks, and some of them do their own things and secretly come to listen to the play.
A faint whisper came out.
Ji Qianxia lowered his head thoughtfully and listened, thinking, turning this long corridor with a gable wall, and going out of the moon gate was the theater.
Someone passed by her, but Ji Qianxia was absent-minded and ignored it.
"Young Master Luo." The two girls in the back bowed.
"Hmm." Luo Rin turned his head to look at Ji Qianxia, just as the latter also stopped and turned his head when he heard the salutation. The little gourd earrings swayed.
"Young Master Luo." It's not easy to pretend to turn a blind eye to such a face-to-face.
Luo Rin returned the salute: "Miss Ji." ”
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they seemed to have something to say, but they were just hindered by the girl's side.
"Why didn't Mr. Luo listen to the play?" It was Ji Qianxia who first provoked a topic.
Luo Rin smiled indifferently: "It's too noisy." ”
"Poof." Ji Qianxia was amused and said, "The last episode of Xiuban Theater, Luo Gongzi didn't feel noisy, right?" ”
"It's disgusting." Luo Rin confessed.
Ji Qianxia raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling.
Is he disgusted? Quite possibly. Xiao Guizhen had an accident, and he ran away from upstairs. This time I ran again.
"Is Childe going home?"
"No, it's breathable."
"Oh." Ji Qianxia wanted to thank him in person, but felt that the time was not right. Seeing that his attitude was lazy and boring, he was ready to retire.
"Miss Ji, can you take a step to speak?" Luo Rin saw what she meant, and took the initiative this time.
Ji Qianxia raised his eyes and nodded stunned: "Okay." ”
The promenade has an open place where you can sit by the railing.
Yi Ying and Ou Jiao are no longer strange, as long as they talk under the noses of everyone, stay away, it's not a big deal.
"The ......"
"Luo Gongzi ......"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and they both looked at each other and smiled. Luo Rin made a gesture and asked her to speak first.
Ji Qianxia's serious expression, Fu Yili said, "Thank you Master Luo." ”
She didn't say what it was, but everyone was a spiritual person, and they knew it when they heard it.
Luo Rin faintly: "It's a gesture." ”
"For Childe, it's a gesture, but for me, it's a great favor that is hard to repay."
Luo Rin understated again: "No, I'm looking at Miss Huo." It wasn't for her begging, I didn't bother to take care of your family affairs. ”
Ji Qianxia swallowed his throat, and his expression on his face was uncertain.
After a while, he recovered and whispered, "Okay, I know that the real benefactor is Duoshou." Let's put it this way, Master Luo. Let's stop that for our deal. ”
"What do you mean?"
Ji Qianxia lowered his eyes: "Except for the money in advance, I don't want the rest." ”
"Oh?" Luo Rin glanced at her.
Asa Natsu's attitude is sincere: "I'm serious. Although the money is small, it is also a little heart. If Luo Gongzi feels ashamed, then transfer it to Sister Duoshou. ”
“…… Good. Luo Rin hesitated for a moment, and then responded.
Asa Xia calmly spread his hands: "What about the silver ticket?" Brought, right? ”
Luo Rin's chest tightened. This guy looks businesslike, how annoyed he looks.
