Knowing that she couldn't keep him, she nodded, and when he left, she put away the three pairs of dishes and chopsticks placed on the wooden stool. Looking at the kitchen, thinking of what she has eaten these days, she can't help but sigh, although there are no dishes, at least there is no shortage of rice and noodles, and she can eat one meal of meat in five days, which is probably a good standard of living.

She vaguely remembered that her grandmother called her eldest sister to be Chunxiao, which lined her like a flower, and the name was very appropriate. She has never heard of her brother's name, everyone calls him Bao'er, shouldn't he be called Chunbao?

Because Chunxiao said that their father was a scholar, he was originally a master who came here to teach, and later married her mother and gave birth to the three of them, and their lives were not bad. I don't know who instigated him to continue to take the Qiuqiu exam, saying that he was destined to take the Lu and was an official. His heart moved, he borrowed some money from his wife and uncle, and took his wife to the provincial capital to catch the exam. As a result, he passed the test, but he was killed by robbers halfway through the test.

Originally, he was complacent about having an uncle who lifted people immediately, but when he heard that the two were killed, not only did the money he lent go down the drain, but he also had to take care of the three children. Before the uncle could say anything, the aunt put on a face, if it wasn't for the grandmother who stopped her, she would have kicked them out a long time ago.

The three of them are still too young to live even in their own houses. At that time, Chunxiao was only eleven years old, her younger brother was eight years old, and her younger sister was five years old.

I wanted to clean it up, but the stove was too high, so she had to put down the bowl and turn around to find her brother. As she walked to the intersection, she heard Chunxiao's angry voice, and she couldn't help but stop.

"I won't let you take my sister away if you say anything!"

She poked her head out and saw Chunxiao standing in front of four or five women, she only recognized one, and that was her aunt. She was very obvious to the crowd, because she was the largest and had a high-pitched voice.

"Chunxiao girl, we are also for you and Chunhua girl! You don't want to think about it, you're going to go out in two years, your father and aunt died early, and there is nothing left, where are you going to raise a dowry! The Gu family is rich and powerful, and it is also her blessing to be willing to have a spring flower girl! When you go out, there will be light, and there will be Harumoto boy......"

This is the first time she knows her name, but she can't figure out why her brother and sister's names are so good, what is her name bad, if she is a vulgar spring flower, is she really her own?

Harumoto shouted, "I won't sell my sister!" ”

My aunt was a little angry, "What do adults say!" ”

In fact, she didn't have to listen to it, she also guessed that it was probably because her aunt didn't like them and planned to sell her as a child daughter-in-law. Generally, poor families buy child daughters-in-law, because they are afraid that no girl's family will be willing to marry in the future, so they simply raise one by their side from an early age.

Chunxiao suppressed her brother's anger and said with a serious face: "Uncle, I know you think we are an eyesore here, don't worry, I will go to the Lin family and let him come to propose marriage, I will take them to the Lin family, and I will never rely on them and not leave." ”

was said by the junior in front of the Gu family, and the aunt's face was a little unbearable, and she scolded: "What are you talking about, this girl! Who thinks you're an eyesore, and besides, how can there be a girl's family who wants to propose marriage by herself. ”

"Chunxiao lady, don't you know the reputation of our Gu family in Yunluo Village, it is definitely one of the best. This time, the Spring Flower Lady is asked to be calculated, a rare good marriage in a hundred years, you can rest assured that there will definitely be no less. The two well-dressed women said politely, "As well as your dowry in the future and the study of Harumoto Langjun, we will arrange it properly." ”

Not to mention that her aunt is happy to bloom, but she is surprised that this child daughter-in-law still sticks such a generous gift. Could it be that she is a prosperous husband with eight characters, and if she hits the belt, whoever marries will soar?

Chunxiao was about to refuse, but Chunyuan snorted coldly: "My sister fell into the water and got sick this time, no one harmed her, where did this good marriage come from, it is clearly a mutual restraint!" ”

Huh! Was she framed when she fell into the water?

Three women in a ruin, talking a lot, she heard her mind a little confused, and when she finished sorting out her thoughts, the play was over.

She had no choice but to go to Chunxiao, but she wanted to ask several times, but Chunxiao diverted the topic, and finally stuffed a piece of candy to send her. Judging from Chunxiao's expression, things are not optimistic, probably she was not sold as a child daughter-in-law, but she also failed to escape. looked at the piece of sugar cake that was too hard to swallow, and gave it to Chunyuan, so moved that he immediately swore that he would not let the Gu family snatch her away.

Chunyuan took a bite and felt embarrassed, so he took it out of his mouth and divided her in half, so frightened that she waved her hand again and again and said that she didn't like it, and Chunyuan ate it steadily.

Don't say that she doesn't like candy, just looking at Chunyuan's way of eating, she can't pretend to be innocent and share it with him.

"Brother, who is the Gu family?" She hesitated about how to put on the performance of the eight-year-old Chunhua's little sister, but apparently she overestimated it, and Chunyuan, who had candy to eat, immediately spit out all the words.

"The Gu family is the Gu family of Yunluo Village, you forgot, it's the little overlord who robbed your pigeons." She shook her head, looked at Chunyuan and licked her fingers and said, "I heard that he is richer than the village chief, there are people in the family who are big officials in Beijing, and I heard that the boss of the house has raised a lot of birds and horses that I have never seen." I heard that there are many people in the house, but they are all subordinates, and there are few in the main family...... Sister, don't you really want it, you used to rush to eat with me, why don't you like it now. ”

"Eating too much and having a toothache." The whole candy was in his mouth, and she didn't want it even if she liked it, so she had to prevaricate. In fact, she wanted to know more about the Gu family, which was related to her life.

"I forgot that my sister changed her teeth, but it's good that you didn't eat it, or it won't be good if you have worms." He smacked his lips and muttered to himself.

She secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that Chunyuan had never been to Yunluo Village, and she didn't know what the Gu family was like, she had heard everything. However, judging from everyone's attitudes and the two women, the Gu family's family should be good, at least a wealthy family.

After knocking on the side, Chunyuan intermittently explained the events of that day, that day was her future brother-in-law Lin Youshu, in order to please their two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, he specially took them to release pigeons. These pigeons were originally raised by another big family in Yunluo Village, and the Lin family was not a rich family, so Lin Youshu was helping others release pigeons and settle accounts in addition to studying.

It was a pleasant afternoon, but one of the pigeons flew into the water and refused to get up. The lake is not deep, but the lake is very large, Lin Youshu does not know the nature of the water, so he has to explain that they are waiting in place, and he goes to find a bamboo pole to catch pigeons.

Unexpectedly, he met the little overlord of the Gu family passing by with a group of servants, and saw a pigeon swimming in the water.

The brother and sister were anxious on the other side of the lake and saw that the pigeon was caught by the Gu family. They were so anxious that they shouted, not only did they not take it seriously, but also deliberately showed off with them across the lake on the shore, Harumoto was a stubborn sister, and when she saw her sister crying urgently, she didn't want to think about it, so she plunged into the water, intending to swim over and grab the pigeons.

But he had just swam halfway when he heard the group of people so frightened that they dropped the pigeons and ran away, and he thought they were timid, and when he was proud, he heard a cry for help behind him, and when he turned around, he saw his sister struggling to sink into the water.
