Cen Erniang could no longer pretend to be strong, hugging Mrs. Liu, who was as warm as her mother, and she didn't care about what etiquette she kept, and cried loudly.

The heartbreaking cry made Mama Deng, Mrs. Liu, Liu Erniang and Liu Sanniang in the carriage feel very uncomfortable, and they couldn't help but cry with her.

And the sparse shadow outside the carriage, Yumo and Libai, who were standing a little farther away, seemed to be pulled by the cry, the pain was unbearable, and their eyes were watery.

Cen Erniang's light and heavy cry was like a heavy hammer, and the sound hit the softest corner of Libai's heart. The girl he hid in his heart, held it in the palm of his hand, and was afraid of falling, how wronged should he be, so that he would cry like this regardless of his manners!

Libai clenched his hands into fists, his muscles were exposed, and he hated the Cen family's rod full of benevolence, morality, and gentlemanly etiquette, but in fact, he was ruthless and shameless, and he was full of anger and didn't know where to vent.

After a while, the crying in the carriage gradually stopped.

Libai has a heart, but it is still sour. Wu thought to himself: he had asked someone to look after the house and the shop, and tomorrow he would go to the owner to discuss and settle them. gave the shop to his sister as a dowry, and the house was still in his name, and it was considered that their brother and sister had a home. I heard that the Northern Expeditionary Army was recruiting new soldiers, so it was better to join the army.

When he repels the Northern Barbarians, makes military achievements, and has official power in hand, he is qualified to be angry for the girl and better protect her.

After making a plan in the blink of an eye, Libai came back to his senses, only to find that he had poked a few purple-red crescent marks in his palm. He let go of his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, regained his calm, and turned to think about which dart masters should be invited to Huaizhou Mansion with Cen Erniang's family.

Libai thought to himself: Yumo travels with Cen Erye all the year round, and every time Cen Erye enters Beijing to take the exam, he is escorted by the dart master he invited, and he should know a lot of reliable dart masters, so he bowed his head slightly and discussed with him.

After Cen Erniang cried, her heart was relieved, so she looked up from Mrs. Liu's arms in shame and wiped her crying face with a handkerchief.

When Mama Deng saw that she wiped her no matter how she wiped it, she didn't wipe the tears off her face, and when she was talking with Mrs. Liu, Liu Erniang, and Liu Sanniang, she silently opened the water bladder, poured out some water to moisten the handkerchief, and said to Cen Erniang: "Miss Cen Er, wipe your face with this handkerchief again, you still have tears on your face." ”

Cen Erniang blushed with shame, thanked Mama Deng, took the handkerchief with both hands, and wiped her face again. The gentle Liu Erniang saw that no matter how she wiped it, she didn't wipe it at all, so she snatched the handkerchief in her hand, held her chin, and gently wiped her face. Liu Sanniang leaned into Cen Erniang's ear and told her about what they had seen and heard in Beijing.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu bowed her head in relief and whispered to Mama Deng: "I am relieved to see that their sisters are still the same as before. ”

"I told you a long time ago that the second and third young ladies are kind and reasonable, and they will not look down on Miss Cen and become alienated with her because she was expelled from the clan. You really don't have to worry about that. "Mama Deng is Mrs. Liu's grandmother, and she is also a good hand of housekeepers and maids, and she is quite trusted and relied on by Mrs. Liu, so she doesn't have so many scruples when talking to her.

Mrs. Liu said: "Mama, you also know that most of the people around us are people with high eyebrows and low eyes, watching the dishes. Usually looks better than anyone else on the face, but it is very unbearable on the inside. People like us have a lot of icing on the cake, and there are almost no charcoal in the snow. I'm also afraid that Erniang and Sanniang will see too many people like this, and they will be imperceptibly changed and their sex and affection will be moved. ”

"With a mother like you teaching by word and deed, the second and third ladies will never become such shallow-eyed people!" Mama Deng straightened Mrs. Liu's wrinkled clothes and reminded her, "Madam, didn't you also prepare silver taels for Miss Cen Er." ”

"That's right!" Mrs. Liu then remembered, and said to Cen Erniang, who was talking with Liu Erniang and Liu Sanniang: "Erniang, come to Uncle Niang." Uncle has something with you. ”

When Cen Erniang heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "No! You and your two sisters rushed back to see me, and it is already a blessing for Erniang to treat me as before. I can't ask for anything more from you! ”

"Why not?" Liu Sanniang took the peach-colored purse in her mother's hand, stuffed it into Cen Erniang's hand, and threatened her with a vicious voice: "Take it quickly!" If you don't accept it, you will look down on us, and we will not have to see each other again in the future. ”

"What Sanniang said is reasonable." Liu Erniang also said: "This is my mother's heart, if you don't accept it, are you worthy of your mother and us?" Besides, your family left the Cen family, and the manor, shop, and mansion in your hands were all taken back by the Cen family. The family has no income, and the family is sick, how can they live? ”

"Be obedient and take the purse. There's not much money in it, even if we borrow yours. In the future, you will have no worries about your life, and you can return the silver taels to us. ”

"Your second sister is right, take it." Mrs. Liu also persuaded Cen Erniang to take the purse.

"Uncle, second sister, third sister......" Cen Erniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I have silver taels." Before I left home, my grandmother gave me a lot of silver, which was enough for our family to spend. Besides, in the past, we also had some savings in the second room, and the elders who left home did not take it back, so they all asked us to take it away. So, I really don't lack silver taels. ”

Mrs. Liu, Liu Erniang, and Liu Sanniang saw that Cen Erniang didn't seem to be lying, although they were a little puzzled, why did the old lady Cen Erniang, who had always been unaccustomed to seeing the second room, give Cen Erniang silver, but thinking that this was someone else's family matter, they couldn't ask it, so they took back their purse, and took Cen Erniang's hand and told her that if anything happened in the future, she must send them a letter, so she let her get off the carriage and drove away. The mother and daughter of the Liu family rushed back to Beijing to take care of the sick Liu Shangshu and Liu Shilang.

Cen Erniang waved goodbye to the mother and daughter of the Liu family, put on a hat, and together with Shuying, Libai and Yumo, entered the gate of the Hongwei Dart Bureau and selected the dart master.

Because Libai and Yumo had already chosen someone in their hearts, and the journey to Huaizhou Mansion was far away, and there was some unpeace on the way, Cen Erniang added an extra thousand taels of silver to the dart bureau, and promised to escort more than 20 dart masters of their family, and when they arrived in Anping Town, Qing'an County, they would give them an additional 50 taels of hardship per person.

When the dart masters heard this, their eyes lit up: this was tantamount to giving them two bounties. Everyone said good things one after another, thanked Cen Erniang, and promised that they and the goods would be sent safely to Anping Town.

Hongwei Dart Bureau often corresponded with some leather goods and medicinal herb dealers in Huaizhou Prefecture, and often escorted them to and from Huaizhou Mansion and Hong'an Mansion. The mountain bandits and bandits along the way, they are basically familiar with each other. Every year, the dart board will also give a toll to those who block the road and rob them. In addition, most of the dart masters of the Hongwei Dart Bureau are from the martial arts families of the rivers and lakes, and their fist and foot skills are very good, and it is difficult for the general bandits to get benefits in their hands.

Therefore, as long as it is a dart of the Hongwei Dart Bureau, the bandits generally will not start.

In the end, the price was negotiated, and it was decided to set off three days later, Cen Erniang made the decision, paid a deposit of 2,000 taels, signed a contract with the owner of the dart bureau, and went to the government office, asked someone to be a witness, and stamped the official seal.
