Chapter 38: Faithful Savior
In this prison, as soon as Su Xiujin calmed down, she couldn't help but think, how could the Su family be raided inexplicably? And it is also the emperor's personal decree, Xiao Jingqi is a person she understands, he has been in bed for more than ten years, although his temperament is a little impatient, but there is no lack of calmness, the Su family has not committed any major crimes, and the Su family is far away in Suzhou, what crime can be as far as the Holy Hearing?
Su Xiujin couldn't figure it out, until the third day, when the jailer suddenly opened the door and told her to leave quickly.
Before Su Xiujin could ask, he was kicked out of the cell, standing outside the cell door, Su Xiujin had not been groomed for three days, her face was pale, her lips were dry, and she squinted at the bright sun outside, almost dizzy.
"Six girls." Mrs. Jiang hid in a secluded place, and when she saw Su Xiujin, she was dizzy and hurriedly called.
Su Xiujin squinted at Mrs. Jiang who came to help her, and asked, "Granny Jiang?" ”
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly helped Su Xiujin to sit on the big stone on the side, let her lean on herself, and took a cowhide pot from her waist and fed Su Xiujin a few mouthfuls of water.
Su Xiujin took a few sips of water from the pot, and then came back to his senses.
Mrs. Jiang sighed and said, "The Su family is also a little ruthless, why did they leave you and go to Qingzhou?" ”
Su Xiujin didn't understand and asked, "What does Granny Jiang mean by this?" ”
"The Su family was in prison, originally the Suzhou county decree said that the saint was open to the Internet, as long as the money was used to redeem people, there was no need to send them to the cold land to do labor, the aunt and grandmother of the Su family scraped together 200,000 taels of silver in exchange for the master, the old lady, the young master and the lady, and left some relationships to release the three aunts, and it was you-" Mrs. Jiang looked at her, and stopped talking.
"I'll never be able to scrape together any more money, will I?" Su Xiujin looked up at her.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear to nod her head, "After two more days, the lord and the lady both left for Qingzhou, and the county magistrate saw that they didn't want to exchange the silver for you, and it just so happened that I had a brother working in the county office, so I spent sixty taels of silver-"
Su Xiujin stood up, covered his chest, and said with a sneer: "Sixty taels, sixty taels." ”
The businessman values profit over parting, Liang Jinxiu has not felt Su Xiujin's savings for a long time, but at this moment, she only heard a almost inaudible sigh from the deepest part of her heart, a huge Su family, even if it is raided, 200,000 taels of silver are out, will you still care about these sixty taels?
Su Xiujin slowly clenched her fists, turned her head and asked Mrs. Jiang: "Mother-in-law, is my aunt still locked inside?" ”
Mrs. Jiang nodded: "The eldest aunt's two daughters are married, so naturally they won't touch her, the second aunt and the third aunt are also the old people of the Su family, so there is only the fourth aunt left." ”
One night husband and wife, in Su Fugui's eyes, the fourth aunt is just a plaything.
Su Xiujin took a breath slowly, dragged Mrs. Jiang to ask if she could redeem the fourth aunt, and she found a pawnshop, and took the title deed sewn on the clothes as seventy taels of silver, because it was a discount, the boss gave fifty taels of silver, Su Xiujin wore her mouth and said that it was seventy taels, plus three small silver tickets of ten taels on her body, enough for one hundred taels of silver.
Mrs. Jiang brought the news, saying that she wanted to redeem the fourth aunt, and she had to get one hundred taels of silver. Su Xiujin did not hesitate, took out all the silver on her body, and at night, Mrs. Jiang sent the fourth aunt to the gate of the city, and the meeting of the two mothers and daughters was naturally an inquiry.
Mrs. Jiang stood in the wind, holding a big burden in her hand, Su Xiujin knelt down without saying a word, "Mother-in-law, thank you for your help, sixty taels of silver is not a small amount of money, but unfortunately I can't take it out now, please rest assured, mother-in-law, within three years, Jin'er will definitely return the amount." ”
As he spoke, Su Xiujin bowed down. The fourth aunt also knelt down, and the grace of saving her life could not be forgotten.
Mrs. Jiang had no expression on her face, her emaciated face was full of meticulousness, she was slightly moved, helped the two of them up, and handed the burden in her hand to Su Xiujin, "There are two sets of clothes and shoes and socks in here, as well as twenty yuan, don't stay in Suzhou, if you find a way, go to Qingzhou, or go to Lanzhou, go to find your third brother, mother-in-law can only help you get here." ”
Su Xiujin took the burden, Mrs. Jiang looked at her again, and entered the city gate without looking back, Su Xiujin stood for a while, and helped the fourth aunt out of the city gate, she finally turned her head and glanced at the city gate of Suzhou, one day, she will come back!
"Jin'er, are we going to Qingzhou or Lanzhou?" The fourth aunt asked.
Su Xiujin shook his head, "Let's not go anywhere, I'm afraid that going to Qingzhou will drive people out, and if we go to Lanzhou, I can't figure out the third brother's temperament, he may not be able to take us in." She wanted to go to the fourth sister, but at night, there was no one on the road, and the two weak women walked like this, just afraid that sooner or later there would be trouble.
The fourth aunt trembled, Su Xiujin opened the bag, there was a red cloth bag inside, which contained twenty yuan, and the others were two washed white cotton clothes, Su Xiujin took it out, found a bush with the fourth aunt to change clothes, and carefully folded the two clothes in the baggage.
Su Xiujin was thinking about where she could stay, and she didn't want to blow a little wind on the way, the fourth aunt suddenly became hot, Su Xiujin covered her forehead anxiously, found a big stone on the side of the road, and let the fourth aunt sit down, the burden cushioned the fourth aunt's waist, and covered the fourth aunt's forehead with a handkerchief in the stream on the side of the road in the moonlight. The fourth aunt covered her forehead and said guiltily: "Jin'er, I dragged you down,"
"Mother, don't talk, I'll find a place to stay, and then I'll call you a doctor."
The fourth aunt took her hand and shook her head, "Now we only have twenty yuan left, where can we find a doctor?" I'll just bear with it. ”
Su Xiujin knew that she couldn't bear it, so she pressed the fourth aunt on the stone, she saw a house with a light not far away, and heard a few dogs barking, thinking that it was a farmer's house, and she went to ask for help, maybe she could spend the night.
"Mother, you are waiting here," Su Xiujin took out the folding fan in her arms and popped out the bright blade, the fourth aunt was startled, Su Xiujin stuffed the folding fan into her hand, "I'll go to the front and take a look, and if I find someone, I'll come to look for you, so you take it for self-defense." ”
The fourth aunt still wanted to excuse herself, Su Xiujin had already turned around and walked into the overgrown path, in the wilderness, although it was not far from Suzhou City, but the fourth aunt was sick again, and if something happened, there was almost no room for resistance. Su Xiujin could only keep reminding herself to hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
The place of the light is far farther than imagined, Su Xiujin finally walked through a hard stone path, the embroidered shoes on his feet have long been worn through, his toes pierced his foot clothes, exposed outside, and the Mai on his body does not know how many cuts have been scratched by the branches, Su Xiujin gritted his teeth and stepped on the path that was grass on the surface, and suddenly felt that his feet were sinking, Su Xiujin exclaimed, and there was a mud pit under the grass.
