Loyal servant

Meng Yingqi was short of the household department, and the number of people coming and going in the family increased day by day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's just that these people are here, and in addition to the old lady and Uncle Meng Jiu, there is only one little An Niang in the family. It's really tiring to welcome the send-off all day. Mrs. Meng's spirit has long been weak, but for the sake of her son's future, she has to stand up and take care of it. Mother He sees it in her eyes day by day, and she has the heart to remind the young master, but the young master is busy with official business every day, and he often has to go out to socialize at night. It's even difficult to see the young master.

An Niang either accompanies her grandmother every day, or follows the nurse in her house to learn some of the simplest embroidery. Because she had just arrived in the capital and was not familiar with the situation in the capital, Mrs. Meng had not yet started to invite a female gentleman for her. However, An Niang has always been well-behaved and sensible, but she is a very worry-free child. Her nurse was her mother's previous dowry girl, because she was about the same as the master when she gave birth, and her milk was sufficient, so she simply made her the child's nurse, because she knew the roots, so Mrs. Meng was very relieved to hand over Anniang to her. Cuihuan is the eldest girl in her house, but she is thirteen years old, accompanied by seven-year-old An Niang, and followed the nurse Qiao's together, and the three of them are safe. It's just that after the He family was sent down that day, most of the things in the house fell on He's mother and Cuihuan, and the two of them were a little stretched thin for such a family matter. Seeing that they were sometimes too busy, Mrs. Meng moved the idea of inviting someone back again.

With the precedent of He Dajia before, Mrs. Meng was reluctant to enter and leave the population at will at home, but decided to go to Renyazi to choose it herself. On this day, it was the day to go to pick people, the old lady was about to go out with Mother He, and suddenly saw the little An Niang standing at the door of the house, looking at the old lady with two eyes flickering: "Grandmother, are you going out?" The old lady nodded, and suddenly remembered that she had been in the capital for so long, and she had never taken An Niang out once. Children are bored at home all day long, and they must be panicked. So, I couldn't help but feel distressed. said to An Niang: "Good boy, go back and let Cuihuan put on a coat for you." Grandmother will also take you out for a walk. An Niang was overjoyed, and her little face turned red with excitement. hurriedly returned to the house and called the green ring with a stack. Cuihuan had already heard the old lady's words inside, took a bright red cloak and put it on her, and followed her happily. Seeing the two little girls looking happy, Mother He wanted to open her mouth to leave Cuihuan behind, but swallowed her words again. The old lady glanced at An Niang, then at Cuihuan, and said with a smile: "Cuihuan, you can also go out with Miss!" With the old lady's permission, Cuihuan was even happier.

They rented a carriage and sat in it, and An Niang quietly looked out through the curtain of the green cloth. The last time she came to Beijing, it was dark and she was tired, so naturally she was not in the mood to look at the scenery outside. This time, it was a sunny day, and my grandmother allowed it, so I was naturally elated, and it was interesting to see anything. I saw people coming and going on the street, so it was not lively. An Niang is in her hometown, and she has been to the county seat as far as possible. At that time, the stone lion at the entrance of the county seat had already amazed her. Now there are many high-rise buildings in the capital, and the various shops that pass by are so magnificent and beautiful. Not to mention the dazzling array of goods hanging outside to attract customers. An Niang felt that her eyes were not enough. And Cuihuan was also fascinated by the colorful scenery in front of him, and kept sighing. The old lady looked at her little granddaughter's fresh appearance and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. Thinking about the time, when the Meng family was beautiful, she and Old Man Meng lived in the capital for a while. Who knows, the Meng family will be so depressed all of a sudden. If it weren't for the youthful competition, I'm afraid she wouldn't come back to the capital in her lifetime.

The carriage walked fast and slow down the street, and the coachman came up and said hello to him. I know that the cars are all women, and they are old and young. So the driver drove very smoothly. Seeing that she was about to reach her destination, Mother He was about to tell the coachman to stop, but she heard a long cry from the coachman outside, and the car stopped suddenly. Mother He was about to question the driver when she heard the cry of a child outside. It's not good to say secretly, could it be that the driver accidentally bumped into someone's child? Just as he was about to get out of the car, he heard the driver shouting angrily: "Get out of the way!" If you want to die, you will die, but don't hinder Lao Tzu! Where did the little name Hanako come from! At one moment, I heard a crying voice: "Uncle, please, let me see the head of the house!" I'm 10 years old and can do anything! I would like to sell myself into slavery and bury my master with the money from that sale!" The coachman seemed to whip him over, and heard the exclamations of the crowd outside, and heard the coachman's angry rebuke: "Why are you again?" How much can a kid like you sell for? If you want me to say, it's better for you to do your part. What else does it matter to the master? No, there is a few dollars here, you can exchange it for two baked cakes, and you won't be hungry for a meal! I only heard a cry from the people outside: "Master, you died so miserably!" Abi is useless, Abi will follow you! "There's a commotion on the streets outside." Grandmother, that person is so pathetic! An Niang heard the movement outside, and it was the first time she had seen the hardships of the world. I can't help but feel pity for the crying man outside. Mrs. Meng touched her head soothingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, Niang! Since she hit our car, my grandmother wouldn't let it go. Saying that, she took He's mother's hand and leaned out of the car: "Who is crying here?" What's going on? Mother He spoke, and her non-angry and self-righteous appearance suddenly calmed the audience. I'm sorry, it was the villain who was not careless in driving the car and collided with the old lady! Please forgive the old lady! Without waiting for the crying man to reply, the coachman had already greeted him in front of him. Mother He glanced at him, then at Mrs. Meng, and continued: "Our old lady listened carefully in the car just now. Is there a little girl crying? Who exactly? Come and show our old lady! At this time, the coachman seemed to be about to stop again, but he saw a thin figure, kneeling in front of the old lady: "Old lady, it was the slave who crashed into your carriage!" Slaves and maids are also forced to do so. My master was looking for relatives in the capital and didn't meet him, and he fell ill and died. So the slave wants to sell herself to bury the master! The slave maid has her own deed of sale in her hand, as long as the old lady gives me ten taels of silver, the slave and maid will be your person! Mrs. Meng listened to her articulate, so young and so bold, she couldn't help but look at her differently. So he looked her up and down, and said, "Why are you worth ten taels of silver?" The little girl fell to her knees and said, "The slave maid was originally sold for five taels of silver. Since I was a child, I was sold to my master by my brother and sister-in-law. The master treats me as if it were his own. Taught me a lot. Although I am young, I can already read and write, play the piano, and embroider with one hand. If you don't believe me, feel free to give it a try. A girl like me in Jinshengfang here is worth at least twenty taels of silver. If you buy me, you won't suffer! Mrs. Meng looked at the little figure kneeling on the ground, and suddenly the corner of her clothes was held by a small hand, and An Niang's small hand fell on her clothes: "Grandmother, you can accept this sister!" I think she's good! Mrs. Meng nodded and said, "That's it, seeing that you are loyal, I will accept you!" This is ten taels of silver, you can take it and take it from your master! ”
