As soon as Li Youzhu explained the situation in Lijia Village clearly, he saw Cui Ping walking in with a fried medicine bowl. Seeing Youzhu standing by the door, bending over with his head down, muttering quietly, thinking that he had displeased the young lady. My heart was tight, and I couldn't help but be a little worried, "Although she and Youzhu have redeemed themselves and got rid of their slavery, they can't be older than Miss, they are still Miss's subordinates, it's only been a day out, Youzhu provoked Miss, I'm afraid there will be no good life in the future," I was anxious, and my hands trembled badly.

"Cuiping, are your hands hot?" Situ Yan noticed that Cui Ping's hands were trembling a little, thinking that she had burned the decoction for herself.

Cui Ping was nervous, put the medicine bowl on the table, and knelt down directly, "Miss, there is something wrong with Youzhu, don't blame him, he is a rough man, clumsy and can't speak, but he is kind-hearted and loyal to Miss, the slave begs you not to be angry." ”

Situ Yan looked at Cui Ping who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Youzhu standing by the door, knowing that Cui Ping was afraid that there was a misunderstanding, so she hurriedly got up and helped her up, "Cui Ping, I think you misunderstood, Youzhu didn't do anything wrong, I want to treat him as an uncle, he doesn't follow, how can you think of it, okay, get up!" I have something to discuss with you! ”

Cui Ping knew that she had misunderstood Miss, so she stood up with a blushing face, glared at Youzhu, and then brought the medicine bowl to Situ Yan, "Miss, this medicine still has to be drunk hot, which is cold and reduces the properties of the medicine." ”

Situ Yan didn't hesitate to take the bowl and drink it clean, she didn't even frown, she looked at Cuiping, Miss used to be most afraid of drinking bitter medicine, but this time she woke up and even changed this habit.

Situ Yan's mind was full of plans and ideas for the next at this moment, and she didn't notice the surprise in Cui Ping's eyes at all, and paused for a moment before she said her plan.

"Youzhu, Cuiping, the eldest brother has already helped you redeem yourself, don't call yourself a slave in the future." Seeing that the two of them did not object, he continued.

"Big brother believes in you, I know your loyalty better, but compared to my safety, I am more worried about my brother's safety now, just I asked Cui Ping, my mother's dowry is not much left, although I have also saved some jade and porcelain over the years, but because I am in a hurry to get rid of it, I only got more than a thousand taels of silver tickets, plus some scattered silver and jewelry from my mother's lifetime. For the sake of my younger sister, the eldest brother actually gave me all his mother's things, and if the people of the Wu Mansion knew about him, I am afraid that it will not be easy in the future. ”

Youzhu raised his head and glanced at Cui Ping with some puzzlement, and saw that she was also at a loss, and the two looked at Situ Yan together.

Situ Yan didn't pay much attention to it, and just continued according to her own thoughts, "I want to take this thousand taels of silver tickets to you, and the two of you will rush back to the capital early tomorrow morning." Before Situ Yan's words were finished, Youzhu was in a hurry to object, and even forgot to bow his head.

"Miss, this is unacceptable, if the little ones are gone, what will you do alone? The young master trusts the little one, so he entrusted you to the little one, and the little one didn't dare to leave like this. ”

"Youzhu, don't interrupt me yet, listen to me finish speaking." Situ Yan knows that it is difficult to convince them of a 6-year-old child, but she has confidence in herself, although her body is smaller, she has space, silver, and kung fu, although this body is a little weak, but she is confident that she can live well, at least she will not starve to death or be trafficked. And the original owner's brother is still in danger, how can the second aunt let go of the eldest young master for the sake of her son, not to mention that Wu De is unreliable, if he knows that this son already knows the dirty things he has done, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate this son.

Situ Yan straightened her face to make herself look more serious and prestigious, and then she opened her mouth and continued, "I've already thought about it, the reason why I let you go back is because my brother's situation is more dangerous than mine, if it's not faster, I'm afraid that he will have an accident, and that woman (the second aunt) finally killed her mother and won't stop like this." You rush back to Beijing, don't go back to Wu Mansion, find a way to contact the eldest brother alone, let the elder brother find a reason to go back to the old house in Lu'an County, and stay with your grandmother, at least you can keep safe for now. told my brother to find a reason to sneak away when he left the capital, and with that woman's patience, I was afraid that as soon as my brother left the capital, he would be assassinated. ”

"Ahh Gentleman! Cui Ping's face was frightened, covering her mouth and crying, not daring to cry loudly.

"This is my brother and me's life, it's what we have to bear, there's nothing to be afraid of, as long as it's arranged well, my brother and I will be fine." Situ Yan patted Cuiping's arm to comfort her.

"I know you're worried about me, you can't let me go, I'm not afraid, I'll ask someone from the dart bureau to hold the dart, and you can reach Lijia Village safely." Situ Yan just guessed that there should be bodyguards in this era!

"Miss, why don't you go back to Beijing with us, and then go to Lu'an County with the eldest young master?" Youzhu is also worried about the eldest young master, but the young lady is only 6 years old, and there is no adult by her side, so it is a long way to go to Lijia Village, even if she is protected by a dart board, she can't rest assured. What's more, when she arrives at the place, how the young lady wants to live, these are all difficult problems.

"No," Situ Yan decisively objected. "If I were by my brother's side, he would only be more dangerous, and my father would never let me live in this world. Because I am his stain and the witness of his murder of his mother. And if my brother has more me by his side, he will have concerns, and he will be timid when doing things, how can he avenge the Situ family, you just have to rest assured, before you leave, I will arrange everything properly, even if I am alone, I will definitely be able to live a good life. ”

Situ Yan looked at the two of them and tried to persuade her, so she first took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from her body and handed it to Youzhu, "You put this on your body first, go and inquire, what are the dart bureaus in this county?" Get the letter, and reply to me quickly. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest in the room. ”

"Cuiping, you go and see, what are you eating, get a few more dishes, and the three of us will have a good meal in a while."

Situ Yan didn't give the two a chance to object, and went directly into the inner room, she knew their worries, but what could she do, she couldn't know that the original owner's eldest brother was in trouble, and she didn't save her when she died!

After a quarter of an hour, Youzhu came back and stood at the door outside the room and replied, "Miss, there are two dart games in this city, one is larger and has been open for a longer time, called 'Golden Eagle Dart Game', and the other is a new dart (newly opened), called 'Weiyuan Dart Game'. ”

Situ Yan didn't get up while lying on the bed in the middle room, and instructed through the door curtain, "Forget about the 'Golden Eagle Dart Bureau', you go to the 'Weiyuan Dart Bureau' to inquire, and say that you want to ask the 'Human Dart' to see what the price is?" Don't tell us who we are, just say that you are the housekeeper of a certain old man's house in the capital, and you were originally going to rush back to Xinchang County to congratulate the old man on his 60th birthday. Situ Yan didn't have a good impression of the word "Golden Eagle" at all, so she chose Weiyuan directly.

It's always inconvenient for this girl to go far away, and when she doesn't get it, she also wants a female companion to wear a man's clothes, as for her identity, saying it will only lead to death, so it's better not to mention it.

"Miss, if you think about it again, the minion always feels that it is really impossible to let you go so far alone."

"If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when you come back, let's go first! lest they break down from the market. ”

"Hey!" There was a pillar outside the door and sighed, but this was ordered by the young lady, and he could only listen, stomped his feet, and went out.

In the past hour, Cui Ping came back with a food box, "Miss, the small one has four dishes, one soup, three bowls of white rice, and three steamed buns, do you think there is anything missing?" ”

"That's enough, wait for Youzhu to come back, and then start eating."

"Miss, how can there be a master and other slaves, you eat first. He just had leftovers. Cui Ping knew that Miss was good to them, but she really didn't dare to let Miss wait.

"Wait! It's not a cool day. Situ Yan has too many things on her mind, and she wants to take advantage of this moment to sort it out. She had to find a way to make these two people believe her.

But after a cup of tea, Youzhu came back, "Why have you been gone for so long, and Miss is still waiting for you to eat?" Cui Ping saw that Youzhu was late to come back, so she couldn't help but reprimand him.

Youzhu just smiled and didn't say much, Situ Yan was a little reluctant, and explained two sentences, "I sent him to do things again." Okay, this person is also together, let's eat first, and then talk about it after eating. ”

Situ Yan persuaded for a long time, and the two sat down together to eat with their heads bored, there was a stewed meat dish, a chicken, and two green vegetables, what the soup was Situ Yan didn't eat, it was really her heart, she didn't taste anything, she barely finished the meal, Cui Ping served tea, and the three of them sat down to speak.

"Miss, 'Weiyuan Dart Bureau' is going to go out to the north border gate early in the morning, passing by Xinchang County, the big shopkeeper of the dart bureau said, 6-year-old boy, belongs to the children, it will be more expensive, 20 taels of silver."

"Reasonable!" Situ Yan didn't think it was expensive, she was waiting for Youzhu just now, and asked Cui Ping about the prices and silver coins of this era. The price given by Weiyuan Dart Bureau is fair.

"Did you say, when will you leave tomorrow?"

"The gates were opened at the end of the hour (6 o'clock), and they set out at the beginning of the hour (7 o'clock). Miss, if you think about it again, you really can't let go of your mind when you're small. ”

"Go ahead, let's take care of the dart game first, and we'll talk about it later." Situ Yan instructed a few more words, and then urged Youzhu to go out. Youzhu turned back step by step, and finally shook his head and went out the door.

"Miss, you better think about it again, I'm afraid that if the slave family returns to Beijing, the eldest young master will not let us go." Cui Ping thought that she and Youzhu people spoke softly, Miss was afraid that she would not listen, it was better to talk about the eldest young master, maybe Miss would listen.

"You just don't have to worry about this, I will write a letter to my brother, and he will understand. More on that later. ”

Situ Yan was afraid that Cuiping would nag again, so she hurriedly handed her ten taels of silver, "Cuiping, you go and help me buy three pieces of clothes for boys, the kind of burlap worn by poor people, preferably with a lot of patches, a pair of jackets and pants for autumn, two cotton clothes and pants for winter, and a quilt, a smaller one, enough for me to cover, but the older the quilt, the better, buy twenty more steamed buns, a dagger, and a back basket, I will write you a prescription, go to the pharmacy and grab some medicine according to the prescription." ”

"Miss, the quilt is in the inner suitcase." Cui Ping knew that Miss didn't have much money in her hands, and she would have more money in the future, so she wanted to help Miss save some money.

"That quilt is not good, it is too new, and it is satin, too eye-catching, and something will happen when you take it out." Situ Yan was writing the prescription while chatting with Cui Ping.

"Okay, this recipe is written, you can go quickly! Be careful when you go out alone, if you shout loudly when something happens, there will always be someone to help. Situ Yan wanted to go by herself, but she was a 6-year-old child, with so much money, she was afraid that she would be arrested as a thief, and it was better to have more than less.

Cui Ping wanted to persuade again, but the young lady was already stroking her head and thinking about something, so she had to go shopping first, and by the way, she took the food box and returned it.

Situ Yan walked to the window, pushed the window open, and looked at the street market outside the house, this was the first day she came to ancient times, and now it was the autumn equinox of August 11, and the whole street roasted by the autumn tiger was full of heat, and the smoked people were upset. The uneasiness and loneliness in her heart made her feel the urge to cry, and even a chill from her heart. Looking to the north, according to her estimate, from Henan County all the way to the north, and when she reaches Xinchang County, she is afraid that it is almost winter, and she doesn't know if she will be able to catch up with the first snow.
