Chapter 41

After a short delay, what should be the next step?

The wooden door creaked, and He came over with a food basket, "Shilang still refuses to speak?" ”

Luo Qi looked at Shilang, who was curled up in the corner of the bed, burying his head deep in his knees, and bowed his head slightly, "It may be that the Qu family said that they would sell it to pay off the account in the morning, and they were scared, Aunt He, I have caused you trouble again." ”

"Don't say that," the tears in Aunt He's eyes were still there, "Cousin Yong'er is here, we discussed it just now, I can make up a total of thirteen taels of gold over there, plus twenty-three taels in your hand, Ming'er will be sent back by Uncle Yong'er, and then discuss it with the Qu family first, and then discuss it well, in a few days." ”

"Aunt He, I'll figure out a way to deal with money, I can't use your money."

"What can you do about a little lady, Qi Niang, this is not the time to see outside, Cousin Yong'er still has some connections in this area, he has dragged his brothers to find your mother's whereabouts, as long as your mother comes back, this matter will be easy to do, no matter what the Qu family says, it is also a big family, you can't rob the people's daughters, there is no royal law, right?!"

Shi Lang shrank for a moment, his dog-like eyes looked at Aunt He timidly, and his dry white little mouth opened and closed and finally closed, there were a few words in that mouth, Luo Qi probably guessed it, my mother doesn't want me anymore......

"Don't be afraid, my sister will never leave you, come, let's eat first, okay?"

Luo Qi carried the food basket and put it directly on the bed, the little man looked at the special meat food, licked his lips, but still refused to move, like an abandoned dog, stubbornly waiting for the owner to come back......

"Alas, Qi Niang, it's decided, there are still people at home, I'll go back first."

He Shi's true feelings moved Luo Qi, and he made a big gift in a proper manner.

"What are you doing, you kid!"

"Aunt He, if Qi Niang still has this blessing, you are Qi Niang's mother."

Tears welled up in He's eyes again, this child's life is really too bitter......

Sleepless all night, He Ziyong and Cousin Wang lived in He's house, He accompanied Luo Qi, and He Ziyong came quietly twice in the middle, but he was chased back by He every moment, "This time there can be no more gossip, it will force people to death." ”

When the distant morning drum came, Shilang, who had been curled up for a long day and a night, suddenly raised his head, Luo Qi looked at him worriedly, and he couldn't bear it, "Shilang......"

"Mother!" The little body was shocked when he heard the sound, and after a long time of relief, he realized that it was his sister who called him.

Big tears flowed down, the child who had just turned nine years old at the beginning of the month, his eyes were full of broken obsessions, he looked at his sister and Aunt He in front of him, sobbed and only said a word, and fainted.

"Isn't Juro cumbersome?"

Luo Qi was startled, and then saw that Shilang's breathing was still stable, He didn't care about wiping his tears, and pinched Shilang's middle, and the child slowly woke up, looking at the roof with blank eyes.

Slowly rubbing his curled stiff limbs, Luo Qi whispered to enlighten Shilang, but unfortunately there was no response, there was really no way, He Shi was going to find a doctor, she stopped, how can I use medicine for heart disease, gave the money to He Shi Please give her back to Cousin Wang, turn around and sit back on the side of the bed, "Shilang, I know you can hear my sister talking, sister, as long as you say a word, do you still recognize me as a sister?" ”

Speechless for a while......

"Okay, if you don't recognize it, then my sister won't have anything to worry about, it's a big deal, a white silk, it's a hundred."

"Sister......

Shilang finally reacted, and Luo Qi's heart stretched slightly, "If you admit it, you can hurry up and eat and sleep, Shilang, you are a little man, and you will be my sister's only relative and support in the future, you have to be strong, understand?" ”

"Sister, Shiro has become a drag on you again......"

"Is it hard to understand what I'm saying?" Luo Qi dragged him up, face to face, and looked at him, "You are not a drag or a burden, you are my sister's support, remember?" You are still young now, and when I grow up, my sister will rely on you to protect me. ”

Forehead against forehead, Shiro was stunned for a long time, and nodded heavily, "Sister, I understand." ”

The strength of a childish child is not weaker than that of an adult, as if Shilang, who grew up overnight, not only took the initiative to eat, but also took the initiative to go to He's house to make up for sleep, "Sister, do whatever you want, Shilang will obediently stay at Aunt He's house and wait for you to come back." ”

"Good ......"

entrusted Shilang, there is still half of the three-day appointment left, and the result of Cousin Wang's trip is unpredictable, she has to go back to Sulou first.

"Mrs. Zhao is back!"

The porter recognized her, said hello, and hurried all the way, the big kitchen was very busy at noon, Director Xiao Su stood at the door and shouted, saw Luo Qi, greeted her very warmly, and personally arranged for someone to help her take the ingredients and send them to the small kitchen.

Luo Qi was not in the mood to delve into these, the small kitchen was full of new self-recommended cabinets that were not available in a single room, and he watched Luo Qi lead a small guy with a big basket on his back and open a single room.

"It's not fair, we waited all morning, why should there be a vacant house for her first!"

Luo Qi glanced at him, he was a young man, and he couldn't hold his breath more than those middle-aged people.

The little guy put down a basket of vegetables, picked up the sign on the table with a smile, respectfully retreated to the door and closed the door, and sprayed the salt soda on the young man's face, "What are you drinking, can't you see the sign hanging on?" ”

"Where is the brand?"

The little guy glanced at him, and hung the sign in his hand on the door, which happened to be the newly carved side of Luo Qi with a kitchen knife, and the ghost drawing symbol seemed to read: Zhao Qiluo is special.

The sound outside the door can be heard clearly.

Familiar scenes, familiar things, but it's only been a few days, and I don't want to pay attention to the vicissitudes of life, Luo Qi plugged in the door bolt and closed himself in the house to cook quietly.

Steward Xiao Su personally reported the letter to Steward Su, and Steward Su nodded and entered the courtyard, the courtyard was quiet and uninhabited, and Su Jiu was checking the account book in the study.

"Ninth Master, Mrs. Zhao is back early."

"Hmm."

"As soon as I came back, I took a lot of ingredients and threw them into the kitchen."

"Hmm."

"It looks like you're preoccupied."

"Hmm."

"Ninth Master?"

"Su Bo, are you okay?"

……

Old Steward Su couldn't see anything abnormal in Su Jiu's eyes, let alone want to see anything in his changed face, this kid is getting older and more incomprehensible, old man, let these three children toss by themselves.

Su Jiu glanced at the back of Su Lao's steward, and was worried?

If you can't learn dumb speech in five days, it seems that you won't have to see her again in five days.

Thinking that it was a troublesome matter, Su Jiu didn't expect that near the evening, Luo Qi would ask someone to invite him to taste the food.

Did she think she could escape learning dumb language with a few tricks?

Su Jiu refused, and the old Su steward went on his behalf, but he didn't think that as soon as he sat down, the four officials came to the door and asked to see Zhao Qiluo by name.

"Someone has beaten the drum of injustice, you can go back to the county government with us."

Drum of grievances?!

Once it is beaten, if it is a lawsuit, the drum beater must first take the nail board road, if it is a lawsuit against the people, the drum beater will also be hit by ten boards first, and if the things told are not true or there is no grievance, the drum beater will be beaten with another 30 boards and put in prison for three months to show punishment.

The front and back forty boards are a strong man with five big and three thick, and he has to go to more than half of his life.
