After three quarters of an hour, the guards found the nearest official garrison, and the traffickers were escorted to the yamen one after another, and the rescued people also went to the yamen to draw and record confessions.

And Zhou Xiaofu left Zhang Qiaoxi in her room and didn't let her out.

At this time, Zhang Qiaoxi had already changed her clothes, wrapped in a blanket, and drank a cup of hot tea.

In the room, only Zhou Xiaofu and Lan's mother sat at the table next to them.

Zhang Qiaoxi, who was relieved, said to Zhou Xiaofu with red circles in her eyes: "Sister Fu, you saved me again, I don't know what to say." ”

Zhou Xiaofu said helplessly: "What about your brother?" ”

Zhang Qiaoxi was stunned and said, "My brother should be fine, in the house." ”

Zhou Xiaofu picked up the tea bowl next to her and took a sip and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Qiaoxi, this girl hasn't seen her for more than a month, and she is getting more and more beautiful, but this luck is still so bad, last time someone wanted to sell their sister and brother, but this time it was directly in the hands of traffickers.

"Tell me, what's going on." Zhou Xiaofu asked impatiently.

This pretty woman is a strong woman, she will find a way to face things when she encounters them, and she will never give up lightly, even if she has been caught by traffickers this time, she has reached the boundary of Jindu, but she is still strong and waiting for the opportunity, and she will find a way to get out when she has the opportunity.

But this will face Zhou Xiaofu again, Zhang Qiaoxi's tears flowed down, this group of people seemed to have been settled, and they took extra strict care of her, as if they knew that she wanted to escape, she also told the trafficker that she was the daughter of a Kyoto official, but the trafficker just wanted to smile and didn't answer, which was obviously arranged.

Under Zhang Qianxi's narration, Zhou Xiaofu knew that she was arranged by her stepmother to go to incense, but she was taken away in a stun in the temple, and when she woke up, she was already in a carriage with a group of girls, and she was not transported here until three days ago.

It's another drama of the stepmother selling her ex-wife's daughter, it seems that the last arrangement was not enough, and this time she is going to shoot again.

Zhou Xiaofu asked helplessly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Qiaoxi will ease up, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I want to enter the palace." ”

Zhou Xiaofu was stunned.

"Sister Fu, don't you know that at home, after my father married my stepmother, my stepmother didn't even do superficial work, she gave me and my brother very poor food, and she didn't want her brother to continue studying, but fortunately, I took my brother to take the college exam with the one hundred taels of silver you gave at the time, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to pay the registration fee." Zhang Qiaoxi said with a calm face.

"This time she said she was sick and asked me to go to Keanji Temple, the farthest temple from Kyoto, to pray for her, and a maid followed me, and my maid was killed the night before she came here. I've been thinking a lot these days, I can't go on like this, waiting for this woman to arrange for me, I'm going to enter the palace, I'm going to change the fate of me and my brother. ”

Zhou Xiaofu looked at Zhang Qiaoxi with a serious face, and didn't know how to persuade her, in fact, these things can only be solved by herself, and she can't help anything, after all, this is a family matter, but she doesn't agree with Zhang Qiaoxi's decision, after all, the palace is a place to eat people, and women without a background don't know how to survive when they go in.

Zhou Xiaofu was also about to ask Zhang Qiaoxi, but seeing her firmness, she gave up, so she had to say: "This time you said that you got lost when you were incense, but you met us, we are going to Jindu to participate in the eldest cousin's ceremony, and we have to take you with us, so you can't inform your family, this time my brother and I will personally send you back, I think your stepmother will also avoid our relationship, and will be a little better for you in the future, during this period, I will send someone to send you something every once in a while, so that your life before entering the palace will be better." ”

Zhang Qiaoxi listened to Zhou Xiaofu talking, tears stayed again, she silently swore mentally, Zhang Qiaoxi, this is the last time you will cry so unscrupulously, you have to be strong.

After the guards came back, the rain stopped, it was already time in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaoyang had already settled the guards in advance and bought some steamed buns and pickles, and everyone in the meeting boiled hot water and drank some food, and then they were ready to go on the road.

Zhou Xiaoyang knew that his sister met his friend in a group of people who were about to be trafficked, and saw that his sister had a good relationship with this girl, so he didn't say anything anymore, and heard his sister tell him what happened to this girl, and he also felt pity in his heart.

The rain stopped, but the road was not very easy to walk, all the way was muddy, Zhou Xiaofu and Lan's mother, Zhang Qiaoxi a carriage.

The road is not easy to walk, and everyone is becoming more and more lazy, covering small stalls and squinting.

It was getting dark as soon as the carriage entered Kyoto, so you had to hurry, or there would be a curfew.

The roads in Kyoto are paved with bluestone slabs, so you won't feel bad walking even if it rains.

The speed of the car was much faster, Zhou Xiaofu thought about it, and let Zhang Qiaoxi go back to Zhou's mansion with her for one night first, and then send her back the next day, but this will have to line up a guard to go to Zhang's house to say something, so as not to give it away the next day.

After deciding, he discussed it with Zhang Qiaoxi, talked to the coachman again, and informed his brother, and everyone sent a guard from the Zhou Mansion to report, and the rest of the people hurried back to the Zhou Mansion.

As soon as I entered the courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, it was almost dark, so I first carried things back to my yard with the maid and the maid.

The people in this courtyard were better than the last time they came back, and there was no idle chatter, and the house was cleaned.

Zhou Xiaofu hurriedly found someone to change her clothes, and planned to take Zhang Qiaoxi to her stepmother and father's yard to say goodbye, and report that she was back, so as not to fall into any trouble.

After cleaning up briefly, I hurriedly went to my stepmother's yard first, and the maid reported that the second lady was having dinner, so I asked her to wait a little.

Zhou Xiaofu thought to herself how long she would have to wait, she would be hungry.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour and not seeing her stepmother pass her in, Zhou Xiaofu thought about it and took Zhang Qiaoxi to the old lady's yard together.

Forget it, she didn't have time to see her, so she changed to a big leader.

Ye Xinlan, who was eating leisurely in the house, heard that Zhou Xiaofu waited outside the door for a quarter of an hour before leaving, and was so angry that she was about to have a seizure, but when she thought about it, her children should ask their mother for peace, and they were not happy to wait for a while.

Zhou Xiaofu arrived at the old lady's courtyard and said to the mother-in-law guarding the door that she had brought a gift from Jindu's grandmother and some words.

The mother-in-law hurried in to report, the old lady didn't want to see it, but someone came to say that Zhou Xiaofu had brought some words, so she couldn't sit still, and hurriedly called Zhou Xiaofu in.

Seeing that there was a strange girl who came together, he asked, it turned out to be a friend who met by chance on the road, and asked again after seeing the girl, it turned out to be a woman of a small official, but he saw that the woman was extremely beautiful.

The old lady had already had dinner, and she was drinking tea, and when she saw Zhou Xiaofu coming, she was crooked on the couch.

Zhou Xiaofu asked Ziling on the side to hug a stack of boxes.

This will be handed over to Mama Cheng next to the old lady.

The old lady on the side saw such a tall stack of boxes and said politely: "Sister Fu, your grandmother is too polite." ”

Zhou Xiaofu said respectfully on the side: "Grandmother, this is my grandmother's old man's heart, you can accept it." ”

Seeing Zhou Xiaofu's actions, he waved his hand and asked Mama Cheng to accept it.

Then he asked, "I heard that your grandmother brought me a letter, but I don't know what it is." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaofu immediately returned respectfully: "Back to my grandmother, my granddaughter's grandmother said that you have lived in Kyoto for a long time, and I hope you will always have time to come to Tianjin, and she also wants to meet you and reminisce about the past." ”

When the old lady heard this, wasn't this a kind word, why did she bring it back.

But the old lady still responded politely.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaofu didn't say goodbye and went back, he asked, "Sister Fu, is it time for dinner?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu had to take the opportunity to say: "I haven't returned to my grandmother yet, I just went to my mother's place to say goodbye, and I didn't see my mother finish my meal for half an hour, so I came to you first, thinking that it would be almost the same in the past when I finished asking for peace at your place." ”

When the old lady heard this, her heart suddenly became angry, what the hell is going on with this Ye family, how can she become so stupid once she meets Zhou Xiaofu, a brother and sister, who is so smart.

So he turned his head and ordered, let Mama Cheng take Zhou Xiaofu to greet the Ye family.

Zhou Xiaofu followed Mama Cheng to Ye Xinlan's yard.

Ye Xinlan was proudly waiting for Zhou Xiaofu to come to greet her, but she didn't expect the maid to report that it was Mama Cheng who brought her, and suddenly felt that her face was burning in a panic, this was not ashamed, she was angry.

After some pretended goodbye, Zhou Xiaofu also said about sending Zhang Qianxi back, and then returned to their courtyard together.

Hungry chest against the back, at this time Lan's mother also brought back a bunch of meals, which were all made by herself in the big kitchen, because when they came back, they had already arrived at the meal, and they didn't carry it, so they had to spend their own money to process it in another way.

Zhou Xiaofu and Zhang Qianxi had a meal together, then washed up and lay down together.
