The voice of the person who heard it was a young woman, with a northern accent, a sweet and clear voice, and a polite tone.

When Chen Liushi heard that it was a northern accent, his body trembled suddenly, and he asked in a low voice: "Qiu Niang, who is it?" ”

"I don't know either, just check it out." Chen Qiuniang got up to tidy up her clothes and was about to go out. Chen Liushi grabbed her and said, "You stay in the house, I'll go." If anything happens, you take it away from the hole in the back wall. They don't take it with them in autumn, and the children can't run fast, so it's in the way anyway. ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Chen Liu's family was afraid that Chen Quanzhong had said something and something had changed. And let her leave quickly, then, the secret is related to her.

However, if it was really the kind of situation that Chen Liushi thought, then she couldn't let this old and young face possible dangers. Besides, if that is the case, people must be prepared, how can she run away.

"Grandma, you have trouble with your legs. Take care of my younger brothers in the house, Qiusheng is the eldest son, just go out with me to learn how to deal with it. Chen Qiuniang stretched out her hand to stop Chen Liu's family, not wanting her to go out and lose her square inch, but instead made people who might just be tempted suspicious.

"Qiu Niang, no." Chen Liushi had a tough attitude and reached out to hold her.

"Grandma, Hou Shu is dead, you were just Fei Guifei's nurse, an old woman in the countryside, you remember this tightly. Whatever others say, you remember that you are just a nurse. Chen Qiuniang got straight to the point.

Chen Liushi was stunned for a moment, and then muttered to himself, "I'm just a nurse, I'm just a nurse." As she spoke, the nervous look on her face relaxed, as if she had suddenly understood.

"Qiuxia, you accompany grandma and take care of your younger brothers." Chen Qiuniang instructed Qiuxia, and then called Qiusheng to go out with her to welcome guests.

"Wait." Chen Liushi was still not at ease, and shouted again. Chen Qiuniang turned to her with a reassuring smile and said, "Grandma, it's okay." ”

Chen Liushi pursed his lips and sighed again and again. Chen Qiuniang tidied up her clothes and took Qiusheng out with her head held high.

Outside the courtyard, the bamboo fence wall is crawling with morning glories and green leaves. Outside the courtyard wall of the bamboo fence, a woman in yellow stood behind two guards from Zhang's mansion.

It turned out to be someone from Zhang's house. It's just that this woman in yellow is not the watery and spirited sixth lady I saw before, and I don't know what her identity is. But no matter what identity he is, when he comes here at this time, I am afraid that Zhang Ci ordered him to come here and use money to break off his kindness.

"I'm Chen Qiuniang, dare to ask who Miss is and why she came here?" Chen Qiuniang walked into the courtyard, and while greeting the visitors, she instructed Chen Qiusheng to open the fence door and invite the guests in.

The woman in yellow took two guards into the courtyard, stood still in front of Chen Qiuniang, refused her polite invitation to sit in the hall, and said, "My name is Zhang Qinghe, and I am Zhang Ci's third sister. ”

"It turned out to be the third lady, I heard that the third lady was a blue heart, but I had never seen it, but now I am fortunate to have three lives." Chen Qiuniang was polite and gave a bow.

Zhang Qinghe hid his face and smiled, and said, "I heard the sixth sister say that Miss Chen is smart and clever earlier, but she really deserves her reputation. ”

"Qiu Niang also invited the third lady to sit down, here, it always seems that Qiu Niang is impolite." Chen Qiuniang invited Zhang Qinghe to sit again.

Zhang Qinghe shook his head and refused, saying: "Zhang Ci's injuries are stable, and there are two divine doctors Jing Liang and Liu Cheng to escort him, so the old lady ordered to return to the house as soon as possible, and I will leave for a while, so I won't sit down, and when I have a fate in the future, I will sit down and talk with Miss Chen." ”

Zhang Qinghe's words were appropriate, and Chen Qiuniang also said politely: "So that's the case, I don't force the third lady, I don't know why the third miss came to me when she left." ”

Zhang Qinghe smiled, looked at her carefully, and said, "Ruiqi was born in Bingzhou and grew up in Bianjing. In such a place where the powerful gather, the people are not as simple as this mountain and wilderness. He has suffered a lot of losses, you don't have to take it to heart. ”

"The third lady is polite, and the heart of defense is indispensable. There is nothing wrong with the second son being so cautious. Besides, as a disciple of Zhangfu, he naturally wants to keep the century-old foundation of Zhangfu, and it is really understandable that he is like this. Chen Qiuniang was generous and talked eloquently. At this time, she said that these things really came from her heart, not her mother or anything. She was still unhappy with Zhang Ci and was disappointed that Zhang Ci was such a layman, but she also understood the situation in which he made such a move.

That Zhang Qinghe heard Chen Qiuniang say this, and the smile on his face was even worse, and he took Chen Qiuniang's hand very happily and said: "Miss Chen is so sensible, my family Ruiqi's villain heart is really ashamed." ”

"Where is the third lady, everyone has their own position, and the angle from which they look at things is naturally different." Chen Qiuniang still responded politely, and then changed the topic and asked, "I don't know if the third lady came to Qiuniang on purpose, so what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Qinghe smiled, and then said that Zhang Ci asked her to come over to see Chen Qiuniang.

"Look at me?" Chen Qiuniang was very puzzled, secretly thinking that this kid was playing some kind of demon moth again, "Don't appear in the future" But what he said. If she broke her word again, she would really despise him to the end.

Zhang Qinghe smiled, nodded and said, "He said that you saved him, and you don't want to come to Zhang's Mansion to do things, this favor has to be repaid." I think about it, and I don't know what can repay this life-saving grace. It's still tacky money. This asked me to send ten taels of silver, as a thank-you. ”

Sure enough, it was Zhang Ci who asked people to give the silver to buy out the kindness, and this kid is still trustworthy. It's just that I don't know if it's stingy.

"Third Miss is too polite. I understand the meaning of the second son, I will accept this silver, please ask the third lady to tell me: This is even, and the two do not owe each other. Chen Qiuniang didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly.

Zhang Qinghe's face was embarrassed, and then he smiled again and said: "Ruiqi is young, the north is not as good as Shuzhong, don't go to your heart." Li Hu will give a thank you gift to Miss Chen. ”

As soon as Zhang Qinghe finished speaking, the burly man behind him handed over the blue cloth package, Chen Qiuniang unceremoniously took it, and said with a smile: "Thank you Third Miss, in this case, it is getting late, so I will not leave Third Miss to talk with candles." ”

Zhang Qinghe was also polite again, so he took people away in a hurry.

Chen Qiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, opened the cloth bag and took a look, the sunset reflected the silver of the white flowers, and she suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders was much looser. In this era when most civilians even have rare silver, if you live carefully, these ten taels of silver can still live a nourishing life for a few years. At least in the past few days, Chen Qiuniang has carefully planned that this Meizhou area is not as good as Chengdu Mansion, and the price of land is much cheaper, and you can buy a more fertile acre of fertile land for three taels of silver, and this area has to be around Meizhou City, and in this Liucun or Liuhe Town, the land price is much cheaper.

With these ten taels, if you can still get out of the marriage, you can get another twenty taels. In this way, the Chen family will be able to nourish her life, and she will have more time to struggle.

Chen Qiuniang exhaled happily, but Chen Qiusheng, who had been silent for a long time, said to himself: "Eldest sister, we have silver." The younger brothers will be able to eat rice cereal. ”

"yes. You can also send Qiusheng to Fang Fuzi to go to school. Chen Qiuniang bent down and pinched Qiusheng's thin face.

"Really?" Chen Qiusheng's face was full of unbelievable surprise.

Chen Qiuniang nodded firmly and said, "Of course you can." ”

Chen Qiusheng was very happy, but he was only happy for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Dad will take it to gamble when he knows it." Wasn't the silver and jewelry that my grandmother had saved taken away by my father? ”

Yes, there is still a loser Chen Quanzhong in this family. If you don't solve this person, everything is in vain. That person is like a tumor in this family, and it is always a hidden danger if it is not removed. But after all, he is Chen Qiuniang's father, and he has done too much and has never been good.

"Eldest sister, let's hide this quickly, we can't let grandma know, she knows, when she sees that her father is going to be cut off by his hands and feet, she must have taken it out again." Chen Qiusheng pushed Chen Qiuniang while mentioning yì, and he couldn't wait for her to dig three feet into the ground immediately and hide the ten taels of silver.

"Okay." Chen Qiuniang replied and touched Qiusheng with pity. She really wanted to hide the silver, but she was not afraid of Chen Quanzhong, but afraid that some thieves would covet this huge amount of money.

She went into the house, looked around, and then pried open the soil under the bed, buried nine taels of silver in a clay pot, and left one or two with her.

Outside the house, the people of Zhang's house had already set off, and through the broken earthen wall, they saw seven or eight luxuriously decorated carriages of the Zhang family being escorted by hundreds of guards, and they were heading towards the entrance of the village.

originally thought it was a good wind, and he could take advantage of it to go to Qingyun. Now, this short intersection has only turned into ten taels of silver, although there is still such a practical thing left, but why do you feel so unhappy in your heart.

Chen Qiuniang sighed, only to feel inexplicably melancholy.

After the people of Zhangfu left, Liucun was considered to be calm. The two younger brothers kept crying, Chen Qiuniang took a look, it must be that her stomach is not very comfortable, which is a common thing for children. She remembered to drink some Chen Ai water. Originally, she wanted to go to Liu Cheng to get some dry Chen Ai, and that effect was the best. However, Liu Cheng's family was not there, so she went to the village for a while, only to find a Chen Ai under the big jujube tree in front of Wan Sanniang's house, which was still a new sprout, and the leaves had not fully grown.

"I can only make do." Chen Qiu muttered to himself, pinched a few relatively old leaves, broke a small branch, and ran home secretly. As soon as he turned around the corner of the village chief's house, he saw the man in black standing in front.

She didn't have time to dodge, she didn't have time to make a detour, so she stopped. The man in black still had a cold expression and a resolute face. She walked over slowly and asked straight to the point, "What is Miss Zhang San doing at your house?" ”

"Ah, Uncle Hui, Miss Zhang San thanked me for saving his brother and sent some silver." Chen Qiuniang answered truthfully, she didn't think she could hide it from anyone.

"A life-saving grace? You're a little girl—" The man in black said with a frown, incredulous.

Chen Qiuniang had already prepared a set of rhetoric in her mind, so she replied loudly: "Yes." The second son was poisoned by snakes. Dr. Liu said that I was bitten by a snake and came back to life. My blood is great for treating snake venom. I'll help them. They were so polite that I got two stitches and some blood. ”

Chen Qiuniang chattered, the man in black looked like he suddenly realized, and muttered to himself, "So that's the case", and then said to Chen Qiuniang with half reproach: "It's getting late, you go back quickly." Also, wealth is not exposed, and the heart of defense is indispensable, and you should not mention to anyone that your family has money. Otherwise, it could still be a disaster. ”

When Chen Qiuniang thanked her, this person had already gone away. She breathed a sigh of relief and went home.

After cooking porridge for dinner, the family ate a full meal. Chen Qiuniang waited for Chen Liu's family to sleep, and coaxed her younger brothers and sisters to sleep, so that it was late at night when everything was silent.

Chen Qiuniang couldn't sleep for a long time, she slowly walked out of the door, looked at the faint outline of Er'e Mountain under the starry sky, heard the occasional strange bird calls around her, and gently closed her eyes.

She's waiting, waiting for someone to show up.
