Although Li Junran didn't have much affection for the three aunts and six mothers-in-law of the old Li family, in order not to be glued and add unnecessary trouble to the Li family, Li Junran still bowed his head and bowed to Li Qian's family very respectfully, and then called "Uncle Niang'an". On the contrary, this behavior startled Li Qian's family: In the countryside, unless there is a new daughter-in-law to recognize her relatives during the New Year's holidays, she will kowtow solemnly, and the most she can do on weekdays is to call your uncle and aunt to say hello again, how could she ever be like Li Junran?

Li Qian was only stunned for a moment, Xu thought of something, with obvious smugness on his face: "Yo~ In the end, I sold myself to a big family as a slave and a maid, look, look, I know the rules better than those of us who came out of the countryside." ”

If Li Qian's family didn't mention the fact that Xiao Qiliu sold himself to be a maid in the process of being a maid, it would be fine, but Li Junran, who had been forced to endure it at the beginning, lost her good mood even more. It is not a glorious thing to sell one's daughter for the sake of illness because of poverty, although such a thing is common in years of famine. In fact, Lao Li's family is far from the step of selling women for money. If it weren't for Li Xiaofeng's unwillingness, and Li Qian's being the most violent among the several concubines, it wouldn't be like this.

As for the smugness on Li Qian's face, it is not difficult to understand. Before the Li family's accident, Li Zhengguo, the uncle of the old Li family, and Li Zhengan, the fourth uncle, were taking the Xiucai exam. When Xiao Qiliu was sold as a slave, the two of them had just passed the county examination and the government examination, and they were admitted to the Tongsheng examination, and they were preparing to participate in the college examination to show their talents. After Xiao Qiliu sold himself to Cheng Mansion, every three months, Li Xu would come to Cheng Mansion to secretly see Xiao Qiliu and say some considerate words between mother and daughter. In the remaining memories that Li Junran inherited from Xiaoqiliu, there is no information about the talent among the old Li family. But Rao is like this, it still makes Li Qian very proud, she is now a child, and her daughter Shuangtao is not much better than Xiao Qiliu, who is a slave.

Li Junran is sometimes really difficult to understand like Li Qian's, Shuangtao is five or six years older than Xiao Qiliu, and when Shuangtao reaches the age of sixteen, Xiao Qiliu is a ten-year-old yellow-haired girl. If it is said that the daughter of the Li family, the second uncle of the Li family, Li Zhengtai's daughter, Wuli, is two or three years apart, and the two are two or three years apart, they will be compared, and they can understand a little.

"Why did the seven girls sell them to Cheng Mansion as slaves and maids, others may not know, but the eldest aunt will not be so forgetful." Li Junran said unhurriedly.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a long time, look at the mouth of the seventh girl, but it's a lot more profitable." Li Qian's impression of Li Junran is still stuck two years ago, the little girl who always hides behind the six boys (Li Junyang) with her head down, and can't beat a stuffy fart for half a day, cowardly and crying.

Li Junran's bold run not only did not make Li Qian's have the slightest shame, but because of such a big and small run, he was a little more dissatisfied in his heart, so that Li Qian's family, who has always liked to be calculating and grudges, will never forget today's events for a long time in the future, and will take eye medicine on Li Xiaofeng's every once in a while.

Li Qian's eyes rolled, and he hit the idea on the small bamboo basket that Li Junran was carrying. The small bamboo basket is not big to look at, because it is still covered with a small piece of sky blue floral cloth, so you can't see what is inside. But Li Qian is still sure that there must be a lot of good things in it. People like Cheng Fu, and then something leaked out, which is also a good thing for the peasant family who scavenges in the field and eats from the sky.

"What good things are the seven girls holding, let the eldest aunt take a look."

Li Junran didn't expect that Li Qian's movements were so sensitive, and before the words fell, he hurriedly stepped forward and tried to snatch the small bamboo basket from her hand. Li Junran secretly exhaled, fortunately, before she got off the carriage, she secretly hid the exquisite purse given by Miss Cheng Fu in the wooden house warehouse of her small manor, and in order not to attract attention, she pulled out a small bamboo basket from the warehouse and covered it with a small piece of floral cloth. In fact, there was an empty basket with nothing in it. Of course, wanting something in the bamboo basket is not a difficult thing for Li Junran now, but it is just a matter of turning his hand and blinking an eye.

Li Junran naturally didn't want Li Qian to notice the secret of the small bamboo basket, and his body flashed to the side, and he narrowly opened up.

"Auntie, during the Mid-Autumn Festival last month, the eldest lady rewarded the seven girls with a piece of shortbread, and the seven girls were reluctant to eat it. I just brought it home this time. ”

Li Qian obviously didn't believe Li Junran's rhetoric. Just a piece of shortbread, in such a big bamboo basket? Still covered with a small flower cloth? If there were no good things taken out of Cheng's mansion in the small bamboo basket, Li Qian would not believe her to death.

Li Junran also realized that he was exaggerating a little bit with a small shortbread as an excuse, if it was really a small shortbread, take a package of oiled paper, and then stuff it into the pocket of his coat, it would be over. Why bother carrying a small bamboo basket? Li Junran also felt very ashamed of the excuse he just made casually.

Li Junran immediately lifted the small floral cloth, and there was really only a small piece of shortbread in the small bamboo basket that was half the size of an adult woman's palm. It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed, but who is Li Qian's family, it is no longer enough to describe her by plucking her feathers. Even a monk passing by the gate of her house can pull out a hair. Without thinking, Li Qian stretched out his short, thick fat paws and poked into the small bamboo basket. But he didn't want Li Junran to guess that Li Qian would do this, so he twisted his wrist slightly, and the small bamboo basket spun in a circle in the air.

Li Qian not only failed to get the small shortbread produced by Cheng Fu, but was also beaten by a small bamboo basket. Although it doesn't hurt, this is undoubtedly a provocation and a slap in the face for Li Qian, who has never suffered a loss.

"I'm going to die, seven girls, you are an unfilial granddaughter, the eldest aunt just wants to take it back to your grandma to taste."

Unfilial piety This is a big hat, Li Qian just touched his upper lip and touched his lower lip without the slightest hesitation, and he was not afraid to flash his tongue. What's more, as long as anyone is not blind and has a normal IQ, he can see that Li Qian's family is not so much thinking about honoring Li Siping's old couple, but rather that he is greedy and wants to take advantage.

Li Junran was directly angry.

"I won't work for my aunt. When the seven girls return to Lijiatun, they will personally send this little shortbread to Lao Li's house, so that grandpa and Xiaoma can taste the dim sum of this Chengfu! ”

Li Junran was really too lazy to talk to someone like Li Qian's anymore, and after finishing speaking, he carried a small bamboo basket and planned to turn around and leave. Anyway, she hadn't taken a few steps before she was grabbed by Li Qian's little arm.

Li Qian shouted loudly: "Don't go! Come and see, everyone, there are fugitive slaves. ”

......: "Runaway, slave, your sister, run." Li Junran really wanted to slap Li Qian's brain with a brick and see if the structure inside was different from a normal person.

Today, the first day of September, it was originally the day of the market, and the people came and went. Li Qian's shouting really attracted the attention of the people who came and went nearby. Fugitive slaves, if caught, are a felony. Li Junran remembered that in ancient China, "the land under the Putian is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." In fact, this is still the case in this Apocalypse Dynasty. Ordinary people have household registration, and if they want to travel far away, they have to go to the yamen to get a way. If there is no guide, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch. It's just that you didn't encounter an interrogation on the road, but if you did...... Hey, hey, hey......

Like Xiao Qiliu, who was sold to Cheng Fu for ten years as a slave and a maid, he signed a living deed. After ten years of age, you can get rid of your slave status and change to a free commoner in the official office, and then you can get a road guide if you have a household registration. But during this ten years, unless Cheng Fu is willing to take the initiative to release Xiao Qiliu, otherwise it is a slave without household registration, and naturally he will not be able to get a road guide.

It stands to reason that not to mention that Li Junran has gone away with the money in his package, and it is not even allowed to secretly leave the Cheng Mansion and return to the Li family in private, and it must be allowed by the grace of the master. So Li Qian's so-called fugitive slaves, to put it bluntly, just don't want Li Junran to leave like this.

"Isn't this the Seven Girls?" Just as Li Junran was thinking about how to get rid of Li Qian's family, a chubby figure squeezed into the crowd of people watching the excitement. Li Junran blinked, and it took a while to recognize who it was.

"Aunt Rice Flower." After recognizing who it was, Li Junran greeted him as soon as possible. Aunt Mi Hua is the daughter-in-law of Li Pingxi, the fifth grandfather of the Li family, and the man is Li Zhengji, the eldest son of the fifth grandfather, who lives not far from the Li family. Although Aunt Mi Hua is slightly younger than Li Xu's, she got married early and gave birth to two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter, Mihua, is three years older than Xiaoqiliu and is eleven years old this year; The second daughter, Cuihua, is also a few months older than Xiao Qiliu, and has just turned eight years old this year; The youngest son, Li Junjian, is only four and a half years old now, which is the cutest and naughty age.

After Xiao Qiliu's family was kicked out of Lao Li's house, Aunt Mi Hua helped a lot in private, and even secretly brought a piece of broken silver to take a few catties of cornmeal. First, it is difficult to take care of the long-term poverty, and the old Li family, from the Xiao Feng family to the two concubines, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although the fifth grandfather of the Li family said that he was the same father as Xiao Qiliu's own grandfather, after all, he had already separated from the family, and some things in the next room were not easy to manage.

"Seven girls, why are you here?" Aunt Mihua didn't expect to meet Li Junran at the South City Gate.

"Today, the eldest lady gave me the grace and allowed me to go home to visit my father and brother and my brother."

Aunt Mi Hua nodded, put her palms together, bowed to the southeast several times, and her face was full of smiles: "This is also the kindness of Miss Chengfu, every time your mother visits you and comes back, although she always says that you eat well and live well in Chengfu, and people have grown taller and fatter, but when I look at your mother like that, I know that she must have been so uncomfortable that she cried secretly on the way back." How easy is it to be a slave and a maid to serve the master? Back then, your little grandmother gave your father a job as a blacksmith apprentice, and the master was not beaten or scolded. What's more, he sold himself to Cheng Fu like this......"

Li Junran saw that Aunt Mi Hua was getting more and more energetic as she spoke, so she hurriedly interrupted her to continue. There are many people, if it reaches the Cheng Mansion, especially to the ears of the third aunt, will she still live? Spreading rumors or something, for a subordinate like her, the responsibility is still very heavy.

"Aunt Mihua, Cheng Fu treats me really well. Look at me, am I taller than I was a year ago? ”

Li Junran turned her back to look at the passers-by who were watching the play nearby, and winked at Aunt Mihua, who originally wanted to blame Li Junran for interrupting her to continue, came back to her senses, and immediately reached out and pinched Li Junran's cheek, which didn't have a few taels of flesh left, and pulled out a reluctant smile: "It's really taller." Look at the aunt, what are you talking about? Seven girls, let's go, your Uncle Ji has come with a mule cart today, and you go back to Lijiatun with your aunt. ”

"That's not good, my aunt's things haven't been sold yet." Li Junran noticed that the bamboo basket carried by Aunt Mi Hua's arms should be filled with tassels and purses, and many women in Lijiatun will embroider some purses or something when they are not farming, so as to subsidize the family. Xiao Qiliu's mother-in-law Li Xu is good at embroidery, although it is not as good as those first-class embroiderers in Suzhou, it is also one of the best in Yuezhen. It's just embroidery or something, it hurts the eyes the most.
