After Lan's mother got into the car, her eyes kept looking at Zhou Xiaofu and then turned her head, and after a while, she turned to look at Zhou Xiaofu, looking like she had something to say, Zhou Xiaofu didn't open her mouth to ask, but continued to close her eyes and recuperate, Lan's mother always said it when she wanted to say it.

After half an hour, I heard Mother Lan tremble a little and said, "Fourth Miss, the slave has something to say." ”

This will be Cuihua is also there, but she can't be avoided in the carriage, since Mother Lan said it at this time, then there is no need to avoid Cuihua with these words.

Zhou Xiaofu opened her eyes and glanced at Lan's mother and said: "A few days ago, I saw Lan Guard, I told him that the people on my Zhuangzi are all death deeds, for the sake of being Wang Yousi's friend, let him sign a living contract for more than ten years, he was reluctant at first, only said that he wanted to find Cousin Lan, who had been married to him back then, before making a decision." ”

Zhou Xiaofu paused and glanced at Mother Lan, at this time, Mother Lan's face was shocked, guilty, and helpless.

Zhou Xiaofu knew that this was not a lot of questions, so she continued to narrate: "At that time, he said that he wanted to wait until he found his cousin to see how she lived before signing the contract, and at the same time dragged me to help him find this Cousin Lan, I also doubted that you were the same Cousin Lan, but when I thought about it, it was just the same surname, how could there be such a coincidence." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaofu calmed down, shook her head at Cuihua, picked up a book on the cage and read it, not in a hurry to wait for Mother Lan's reply.

After a long while, Lan's mother opened her mouth with difficulty, and when there was a flood in her hometown, the people in the village died, and the people were separated.

And she was also separated from her family at that time, and coincidentally went to Jindu with an aunt in the village, who was not familiar with life, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and after starving for two days in a row, she couldn't find a partner, so the aunt said that she would sell herself into slavery, so that she could have a chance to survive, otherwise she would starve to death, let alone find a family.

To be alive is to have hope.

So she sold herself into slavery at that time, and it was also lucky that a group of girls who sold themselves were bought by General Wang's family at that time, and it can be said that she did not suffer much, and after learning the rules in the house, because she was good, she was recommended to Mrs.

The lady saw that her face was white, and put her in front of the eldest lady to be a third-class maid.

Although she can eat and dress warmly, and she still has monthly money, she never gave up the idea of looking for her family, and spent money to find her hometown, but there has been no news for a few years, and even her cousin's house can't be found.

Later, with the eldest lady, as a dowry maid, she came to the young lady's husband's Zhou Mansion, she was still looking for it one after another, but finally the news came, an elder in the village was found, and it was said that her whole family was dead, and she was the only one who lived, and said that there was no news from Cousin Lan's family, and Lan's mother, who had been silent for several months, finally let go of the worries in her heart and married a dowry steward of the young lady.

At the beginning, life was still happy, a year later she gave birth to a male baby, her mother-in-law was good to her, plus Miss Nahui was alive, no one dared to bully her, the child was a little older, she returned to the girl to be a housekeeper mother.

But once she was busy for several days in a row, and when she went back, she found that the child was sick and had a fever for a few days, and she wanted to hold the child to find the best doctor to see, but the mother-in-law said that the child would have some small problems when she was young, so she asked to wait first, but this delay, the child died the next day.

The mother-in-law and the men in the family began to complain about her, saying that she was a woman who couldn't even take care of the children, and she wanted to live a good life with the man and said that her whole family was dead, but now the man actually took it out and said that she killed the whole family, and also killed her son.

The death of the whole family was the most painful wound in her heart, and she didn't think that the man who would say that she would be good to her for a lifetime would talk about this, and also said that she was hard and killed her own child.

She was angry and sick for three days, lying in bed without eating or drinking, and Miss Straight asked people to find her, and she slowly got better. After the eldest lady asked her, she directly sold the shop and drove away which family, so that she could concentrate on taking care of Sister Fu'er, at that time, the eldest lady's health was not very good, and she had just lost her child, but seeing that Sister Fu'er was so weak, she had no idea of seeking death, so she concentrated on taking care of the little lady.

But who would have thought that Cousin Hui, who was married to her back then, had been looking for her, originally she lived just for the fourth lady, her life was saved by the eldest lady, she should spend her whole life taking care of the eldest lady's daughter, but now this man appeared, which surprised her and was a little overwhelmed, disrupting all her plans.

Zhou Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Lan's mother's narration and said: "I thought it was a big deal, wouldn't it be better to find it, isn't it a happy thing for people to live, and it shows that you can meet in your lifetime, which means that this is your unfinished fate, as for the matter of your marriage, let's look at it, twenty years have passed, the vicissitudes of life, everyone has changed, if this person is no longer the person in your heart back then, why bother about the marriage, if he is still the same person back then, your state of mind has not changed, what if everyone continues the front edge?" ”

Mother Lan suddenly turned red when she heard what Zhou Xiaofu said to continue the front edge, she was thirty-five years old, and what fate would she continue.

Zhou Xiaofu laughed when she saw Lan's mother like this: "Look at you, take your time in this matter, if you don't want to, will someone force you to do it, I thought it was a big deal, look at what you are worried about." ”

Mother Lan hesitated and said: "The slave maid swore to the eldest lady back then, and she must protect you thoroughly, and there is no second heart." ”

Zhou Xiaofu said with a smile: "Protect me thoroughly, does it have anything to do with the recognition of you and Escort Lan?" You didn't mean you were going to go with him. You're all there for me now. ”

Mother Lan was stunned for a moment, yes, how did she get entangled like this, there is no conflict with Cousin Hui and Miss Servant.

Mother Lan, who had figured it out, suddenly turned better, and Zhou Xiaofu said with a smile: "Cuihua, add some donkey meat to the pot helmet you bought just now to Mother Lan, she didn't eat a few bites just now." ”

Lan's mother looked shy, but she looked much younger, but unfortunately she was wearing an old-fashioned style. In fact, thirty-five years old was an attractive age in the previous life.

On the next road, there was no depression in the morning, Cuihua also laughed relievedly, she never understood what was going on, but when she heard Lan's mother say, she understood, it turned out to be Lan's mother's childhood relative, and she had also been married, and she only understood after listening to the young lady, this Lan guard has been looking for Lan's mother for more than ten years.

Although Cuihua is sixteen years old, she is relatively simple in the end, and she doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, but when she heard that someone had been looking for Lan's mother for more than ten years, she still felt very romantic, just like the story in the book.

Along the way, the three of them chatted happily for a while, and then the carriage quieted down, until it was dark outside, and the carriage stopped, and Wang Yousi went to the window of the car and reported: "Fourth Miss, I have arrived in Hancheng County in Xishan Province." ”

Zhou Xiaofu asked, "Find an inn to stay in first." ”

When the king answered, he beckoned the carriage and went to the city.

Zhou Xiaofu opened the curtain on the window and looked out, and saw that it was just dark, and the carriage was on a wide road, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

This city is not big, and there is no way to compare it with Kyoto or Tongshu, and Kyoto has been very lively as long as there is no curfew.

Hancheng is the first small county town at the junction of Xishan and Tongzhou, so the carriage traveled for six or seven hours, but after all, it was a carriage, but it was also very hard.

Wang Yousi quickly found a very large restaurant, with accommodation and food supply, Wang Yousi felt that although the fourth lady was more strategic than the girls in the ordinary house, she was afraid that she would not be able to endure hardship, so she found a high-grade restaurant to live in.

The rooms of the Son of Heaven are one tael of silver a night, one tael of silver does not sound much, but in this Kaiyuan Dynasty with strong purchasing power, one penny can buy a steamed bun, one tael of silver is the living expenses of a six-person family for three or four months, this is still the cost of being able to eat a full meal, the average farmer generally has half a month to eat thin, half a month to eat thick, that is to say, three or four months can not even spend a tael of silver.

After the carriage stopped at the door, Wang Yousi hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain, and saw a young man wearing a blue cotton robe coming down from the carriage, this young man, his hair was neatly tied into a round bun, tied with a jade-inlaid ribbon, he really had an indescribable free and easy, Wang Yousi was stunned, and just about to say something, he heard Zhou Xiaofu say: "Steward Wang, lead the way for Young Master Ben." ”

Wang Yousi had such an experience, and immediately after a while, he smiled and said, "Master, please." ”

Just such a dashing son took the beautiful maid and the housekeeper's mother into the inn.

Zhou Xiaofu is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, and if things go well, it will only take two or three days at most to go back, and it is useless to live so well, so he chose a second-class suite with 400 copper coins a night, and opened two rooms, so that the coachman and the guards can live together, so as not to be questioned about anything.

The suite of 400 copper coins a night is also very good, the area is not small, there are two beds, the master bedroom in the middle is still a step bed, although the bed sheets are not silk, but they are muslin, and they are also very clean.

After entering the room, Wang Yousi hugged his fist and said that he would go out first to arrange for someone to deliver water and arrange meals.

Zhou Xiaofu leaned lazily on the chair, stretched her waist, and felt tired, who said that the carriage was comfortable, and the whole bone was about to fall apart, but she saw that Mother Lan was also knocking her knees with her fists.

Zhou Xiaofu's heart sank, I am afraid that the old disease has been committed again, and it hurts again.
