Chapter 9: Entrustment
Momiji's father kowtowed and said cautiously, "I and Momiji have food to eat, saliva to drink, and it is okay to live on, please ask my mother to collect the money from the sale of my body for me and Momiji, and if Momiji marries in the future, all of them will be given to Momiji as a dowry."

Saying this, the seven-foot sweat choked a little, and his nasal voice stopped heavily.
Mother Song sighed in her heart and said, "You all get up and talk back." Hongye her father, since you sold yourself, do you have a name, but your place of origin is Xuanfu? ”
Momiji was a little impatient when she knelt early, and the monkey jumped up anxiously, pulling her father to stand up with her backhand.
She is a child of a few years old, and she can't quite understand the words of adults, but she also knows that her father wants to be with her, and the original worries and fears of leaving her relatives disappear at once. At this time, her face was full of joy towards her father, and she wanted to speak and was a little afraid of Song's mother's punishment.
Hongye's father's heart fell to the ground, and he stood there peacefully and replied, "The little one grew up eating Baijia rice, and I don't know my parents, because I can be beaten with rough skin and thick meat, everyone calls me Hard Stone, and then I called it more, and I got the name of the stone." The presiding officer of the Red Leaf Temple, Master Puzen, saw that I was honest and helped me recognize the widow Li of Lijia Village under the mountain as my mother, and my hometown also fell in Lijia Village. ”
Mother Song's eyebrows moved slightly.
This man didn't say much, but he was clear and reasonable, not like an ordinary country man who had no knowledge, and his reply was a little evasive, as if he was hiding something.
She regretted that she had relented for a while and took in the two father and daughter.
But when I think about it, there are a few people in this world who are not a little unspeakable, that is, they are not also hiding and being a nurse here. This orphan and widow of the Liu family has no money and no power, but living in a temple has no greedy profits, so why worry about it.
Mother Song's heart eased and said, "Then you go to Xuanfu City with me today to buy some groceries, and also go to the official office to prepare the contract of sale for you and Hongye." ”
Daddy Momiji responded in a low voice.
Mother Song turned around and instructed Hongye again, "You go with me to Madame, today you will accompany Miss to practice at Madame's, Qiu Ju will take care of the diet, you don't need to cook today, but the fire of the small stove, you have to take care of it, don't put it out." ”
After giving the order to the red leaves, Mother Song took Liu Ya and went to the courtyard of the lady next door.
Qiu Ju was kneading noodles in the kitchen in the courtyard alone, when she heard the sound and opened the door and looked out.
Mother Song explained the matter clearly in a few words, and then instructed Hongye to discuss, and asked Mrs. Qiu Ju about the groceries that needed to be purchased in the courtyard, and then turned back to find Li Shishi to go down the mountain to Xuanfu City together.
***************
Mrs. Liu believes in Buddhism, and in the past few days, there has been a wandering monk in the temple to give lectures, and she instructed Qiu Ju to make some noodles today and send them to the main hall for worship.
Qiu Ju couldn't be busy, hugged Liu Ya and put it on the small stool in front of her, and talked to her while she was busy.
Liu Ya was a little bored, but she just responded with a hmm-hmm, and she didn't want to say a single word.
After a long time, Liu Ya also became bored, looking at the red leaves jumping in the courtyard alone, and thought about it in her heart.
On weekdays, Mother Song watched her closely, she didn't have a chance to look around, but today it was rare that Mother Song was not there, and she suddenly wanted to go out of the yard to see.
The red leaves on the mountain behind the temple are red and brilliant, although she has been yearning for it in the previous life, but she is afraid to look at it. Liu Ya had many regrets in her previous life, and she didn't see the red leaves of Dongshan Temple.
Now that I think about it, it's only a few steps away, but because I was afraid, I regretted it for a lifetime.
She felt sad for no reason, although most of the women in the world did not go out of the door, but there were also different, just like the lord of Pingnan.
At that time, she had been trapped in the small courtyard in Beijing for many years, and the man saw that she was obedient and well-behaved, and occasionally took her out.
At that time, everywhere I went, I heard everyone talking about the lord of Pingnan, and everyone praised a frosty widow woman who went out on behalf of her father to conquer Pingnanban and keep the glory of Pingnan Palace. She also had a little envy, and she also wanted to get out of the yard and see more of the world outside the wall.
Thinking of the past, she couldn't help but forget to look outside the door again, thought about it and said to Qiu Ju, "Sister Qiu Ju, I'm going to play with the red leaves in the yard." ”
The girl on the small stool was well-behaved and beautiful, with some thin cheeks flushed slightly, and her two little hands were a little tangled on her knees, gently stirring the corners of her clothes.
Qiu Ju's heart was soft and she couldn't bear to refuse.
She rubbed the flour on her hands, washed her hands, hugged Liu Ya with a smile and asked, "Miss is playing with Momiji in the courtyard, don't leave the door, let Qiu Ju watch you play, okay?" ”
Liu Ya nodded.
Qiu Ju called Hongye over and instructed her, "You take Miss to play here, you can't walk around, I look up in the kitchen to be able to see it, if you take Miss to run around, I have to tell Mother Song to punish you for not eating." ”
Red leaves have thick skin, it is useless to beat and scold, the only thing she is afraid of is that she has no food to eat, she is hungry, and now she is threatened, and her heart can't help but tighten.
She nodded indiscriminately and shouted, "I'll take care of Miss, I'll play with Miss." ”
Qiu Ju let Liu Ya fall to the ground, stroked the corners of her clothes, and said to Liu Ya with a smile, "Miss is playing here, come to me when you are thirsty, I boiled wool cane water for Miss, Miss likes it the most." ”
Liu Ya nodded.
Qiu Ju stood aside and watched Hongye pull Liu Ya and tell her how to jump frames. It wasn't until I saw that Liu Ya was also dancing happily that I was relieved to go back to the kitchen and continue kneading the dough.
Liu Ya played for a while, the tip of her nose had slowly removed the sweat, she looked at the cheerful red leaves dancing on the side and said, "Red leaves, you go and tell Sister Qiu Ju that I am tired and want to go to the small teahouse to drink water, you go with me." ”
Hongye happily agreed, ran to the door of the kitchen, and shouted, "Sister Qiuju, Miss and I will go to the teahouse to drink water." ”
Qiu Ju was busy putting on the basket, and she couldn't take care of it for a while, so she instructed Hongye to say, "There is hair cane water in the teapot next to you, you can bring it to the teahouse and pour water for the young lady." ”
Momiji happily responded, came out with a teapot, and ran to the tearoom next to it.
