Hua Cudan had been poisoned, but the poison would not attack immediately, so Hua Tian turned his mind elsewhere.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the construction of the mountain forest next to Sujia Village is in full swing, and she plans to see how it progresses.

After the New Year, it will soon be spring, and the people in the villages will have to return to their homes to farm, and they can no longer work in the mountains and forests as they do now.

Hua Chuya, as the nominal manager of the house, has already purchased New Year's goods under the guidance of Zhou's mother.

Because the property has been divided, Shen Jinyu and Hua Chudan had a large amount of medical expenses not long ago, and Hua Chuya did not have much money in his hands. In addition, Diao Nu deceived her for not knowing how to do housework, and the price of everything was reported, and she was short of money in her hands, and there were very few things she could buy.

Therefore, she bought very few New Year's goods, which was very poor.

Because the New Year's goods purchased are very cold, so there are not many things that can be used in the house, and all the gardens are complaining, and even the girls are talking everywhere, complaining that this year is a thin year.

When Hua Chuya heard these complaints, she was angry and weak-hearted, squeezed the silver in her hand, and bought a few more flashy and worthless objects.

In addition, Shen Jinyu instructed the maid to poison Hua Tian with the intention of killing him, which was reviewed and verified by Zheng Zhixian County, which once again caused an uproar.

Under the witness of many people in the town, Shen Jinyu in Yunni Nunnery was arrested and quickly arrested and locked up in a prison.

Hua Chuya and Hua Cudan were shocked when they learned about it, and they hurriedly sent gifts to Zheng Zhixian to try to be accommodating.

Hua Chuyi and Hua Chufang called Hua Chuzhi and went to Ronghua Hall together to find Hua Tian to intercede.

At this time, Hua Tian had already removed all the toxins on his body after eating the antidote pill. But when she knew that Hua Chuyi and a few people were coming, she was busy lying on the bed, pretending to be weak.

The three people who came to intercede felt bad in their hearts when they saw Hua Tian so weak, but they still made their intentions clear.

Hua Tian pretended to be weak and said, "It's not ...... It's not that Liuniang is unwilling to show mercy to her subordinates, it's just that ...... It's just that the eldest brother and the second brother have said that this matter and this matter should not be interfered with, so that someone will not repay virtue with grievances......"

"Liuniang, that's all in the past, you can talk to Da Lang and Erlang. Our father died young, and there was only one mother, if she was also ...... How should we be good......" Hua Chuyi said with tears in her eyes.

Hua Tian pretended to be weak and closed his eyes and gasped hard.

Seeing this, Mother Lan said, "So what? At the beginning, our young lady was kind enough to save the second lady, where did you expect to be so vicious as the second lady, and she actually poisoned the young lady? If we hadn't spent a lot of money to invite Dr. Yao, the young lady would have died. ”

"That's all in the past, my mother knows that Liu Niang has helped her intercede, and she will not do anything again." Hua Chufang said softly.

"Alas...... Aunt is Liuniang's elder, and Liuniang hopes that she will be good. It's just that the evidence of the crime is conclusive this time, and no amount of help can be helped. Hua Tian said breathlessly.

What she said was not true, even if Shen Jinyu deserved to die, she made up her mind with Hua Heng and Hua Ke to keep her alive and slowly see what she had behind her.

However, this can't be said directly, if you don't hang it, the second room doesn't know how big this kindness is.

Hua Chuyi and Hua Chufang begged again and again, said a few big words, and begged Hua Tian to intercede with Hua Heng and Hua Ke.

They were a little afraid of Hua Heng and Hua Ke in their hearts, so they didn't dare to ask for it directly, so they came to ask Hua Tian.

As for Hua Chuzhi, he just sat stunned on the side, lowered his head, and didn't say anything. It seems that since she said that she was going to be ordained and ordained, she has been like this heart like stagnant water.

Hua Tian was almost begged, so he reluctantly responded, "Liuniang went to talk to the eldest brother and the second brother, but if I think about it, I can only get the eldest brother and the second brother to agree to let the aunt live, but I am afraid that I will have to live in prison." ”

Hua Chuyi and Hua Chufang listened to it with a cold heart, but they didn't know what to say. Their mother's red apricot went out of the wall, and now they have instructed people to poison others to murder others, they really can't say anything.

Mother Lan saw that the two of them were hesitant and wanted to ask again, so she said coldly, "Those two maids confessed that they were directly instructed by the second lady's maid Liu Lu, and I don't know if Lord Zheng will implicate this matter on a few young ladies." A few young ladies should be careful in their actions on weekdays. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hua Chuyi and Hua Chufang didn't dare to ask for more, and after a few words with Hua Tian, they took Hua Chuzhi and left.

However, within two days, Zheng Zhixian tried the case of Shen Jinyu instructing her to poison her, and when there were both human and physical evidence, Shen Jinyu was officially put in prison and not distributed for the time being. Hua Chudan's maid Liu Lu was also arrested and imprisoned.

Hua Chuya and Hua Cudan didn't dare to ask for it again in the end, and they were even afraid that they would be involved in themselves, so they stayed at home. They nestled in the house, listening to the news outside every day.

Because of this incident, there were rumors in the town again, and everyone said that the second lady Hua was vicious, and actually instructed the maid to poison the sixth lady of the big house.

Listening to the rumors in the town, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching step by step.

Agarwood reminded Hua Tian that some people in the town have helped the big house, and now that it is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is best to give some gifts to walk around.

Hua Tian didn't know much about this, and he knew that Agarwood had stayed in the eldest princess's mansion in the capital, so he listened to Agarwood and thought about how to give gifts with the reputation of a big house.

When Hua Heng and Hua Ke were at home in the evening, she brought up the matter.

Hua Heng thought for a while, and then said, "In the honor of me and my second brother, thank you for taking care of us a lot." At that time, it was clear that there was no elder housekeeper in the house, and the second room had been changed repeatedly, so I am afraid that it would not be enough to keep the house. We took the proceeds of the big house and went to give gifts to thank our parents and villagers for their kindness. ”

Hua Tian thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he set out to ask Ning Qian to prepare a gift.

Ning Qian was very good at these, and soon selected the gifts according to the gift list prepared by Hua Heng and sent them to the mansion.

Hua Tian handed over the matter to Agarwood, and took the cloves to watch the garden, discipline the maids, and took Luo Yun to the mountains and forests next to Sujia Village to see the construction situation.

The three of them took a carriage and went straight to Sujia Village, and when the carriage left the town, they went on the official road.

Fortunately, the weather was sunny today, and there was no snow or rain, so it was easy to walk all the way, and soon we reached the intersection of the path that turned into the forest.

The carriage drove out from the side of the official road, and traveled along the path, and after a short walk, it could no longer enter.

Hua Tian, Mother Lan, and Luo Yun got out of the car together, and asked Lao Wangtou to come here and wait at night, and now they can go back to the town first to listen to the orders of the other masters.

After the old king left, Hua Tian and the three of them stepped on the path step by step in the direction of the mountains and forests.

The three of them were all disguised and couldn't see their original appearances, so they didn't worry about meeting others along the way.

I don't know if many people work in the mountains and forests and walk this path too much, so that this path is not as barren as it used to be, and it looks quite smooth.

The four fields are bare, even if there is some grass, it is just some dead branches, and there is a sense of wildness when you look at it.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and it was really relaxed.

I went up a small hill along a path, turned a corner, and saw a man walking in a robe.

When this person saw Hua Tian and the others, he seemed to be frightened, and suddenly shrank down and ran into the dead branches on the side.

Hua Tian was startled, calmed down, and saw that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old woman, with a look of panic on her face that was blue from the cold, and she was looking at the three of her in fear.

"I think it's someone passing by." Luo Yun looked the beautiful woman up and down, and made sure that she didn't know martial arts, so he said.

Hua Tian listened, frowned and thought about it, she remembered that the woman seemed to be wearing straw sandals, and her lower body was ...... On his knees, he seemed to be naked, and then asked, "Who are you, and why are you alarmed when you see us?" ”

"I ...... I am...... My eldest brother is working in the mountains, and I, I, I'm here to wait for him. The woman bowed her head and said hesitantly.

Seeing this, Hua Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "You stand up, I'll take a look." ”

When the Juanxiu woman heard this, she shook her head and shrunk even tighter.

When Luo Yun saw it, he smiled and said, "If you don't stand up by yourself, I will come up and catch you to stand up." If you're unhappy then, don't blame me. ”

The Juanxiu woman was so frightened that she trembled all over, she looked at Luo Yun with bright eyes, and soon filled with tears, as if she had been greatly wronged.

At this time, Luo Yun was dissatisfied, frowned and said, "What are you crying for?" I have not bullied you. ”

"I ...... My brother works in the mountains, he, he's a worker......" Juanxiu repeated these words.

Hua Tian frowned and said, "Then he doesn't care about you?" You're wearing straw sandals, no pants, and your face is blue from the cold. The salary here is 20 yuan a day, and it is enough to help you buy coarse cloth pants. ”

Luo Yun was taken aback by these words, she glanced up and down at the Juanxiu woman, but the lower body of the Juanxiu woman was all covered by the robe, where could she see it.

Juanxiu woman hurriedly shook her head, she saw that although Hua Tian was young, she had a feeling of being a superior, so she said, "There is no twenty wen, the eldest brother is young, only ten wen." We're going to eat and we don't have any money......"

"It's really miserable......," Luo Yun said sympathetically.

Mother Lan said thoughtfully, "As far as I know, I didn't say that I had to divide my salary into old and young. And the recruitment here must be to recruit old and strong laborers. ”

"Don't drive my eldest brother away, don't drive my eldest brother away......" The woman screamed as soon as she heard Gui's mother's words.

"Shut up!" Mother Lan was given a headache by the screaming and scolded.

The woman stopped screaming, but kept repeating what she had just said quietly. Tears poured down her face and dripped onto the cloak on her chest.

"How old are you?" Hua Tian asked.

"Ten, thirteen......" The Juanxiu woman burst into tears, glanced at Hua Tian timidly, and replied.

Hua Tian nodded and said, "You don't have to cry, you are thirteen years old, your eldest brother is older than you, you can stay here and work." But it's only ten cents, which is ridiculous. In this case, you come with us, find your eldest brother, and we will help you get your wages back. ”

"You, you won't tell my eldest brother, he, he's not old enough...... When the foreman found out, he was reluctant to let him continue to do it. ”

"Don't worry, the foreman can't drive away your eldest brother. We know a bigger foreman. Luo Yun said.

Hearing that the three of them were so sure, the Juanxiu woman timidly reached out to wipe her tears, because her hands were dirty and full of impurities, and a Juanxiu face instantly turned into a cat.

When Luo Yun saw it, he was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to hand over his handkerchief, "You just wipe it with a handkerchief, and the handkerchief will be given to you." ”

The woman was stunned, then blushed, took the handkerchief to wipe her face, and finally wiped it clean, pinched the handkerchief, and stood up embarrassedly.

As soon as she stood up, everyone saw that she was wearing nothing but straw sandals from the knee down. Above the knees, it is covered by a coat.

From her trembling movements, it can be seen that she is not wearing any clothes on her upper body, and only relies on her clothes to cover her body.

Luo Yun was sympathetic, put away his original joke, took out some snacks from the basket he was carrying, handed them to Juanxiu, and asked with concern, "Your eldest brother works here, can't he even afford clothes?" ”

The Juanxiu woman glanced at Hua Tian, and when she saw Hua Tian nodding, she dared to reach out and take Luo Yun's snack, and after taking it, she expressed her gratitude, and then replied, "The eldest brother is growing up now, and he eats a lot every day, so the foreman deducted some money from him." All he got in his hands was a few pennies. ”

Hearing this, Hua Tian was angry, but he didn't say it, only said, "Mother Lan, give her a blanket." ”

Mother Lan's face was also gloomy, she looked at the Juanxiu woman, a sigh flashed in her eyes, and she took out a blanket from the bag she was carrying and threw it to the Juanxiu woman.

The Juanxiu woman took the blanket, but she didn't put it away, but said, "This, this blanket is precious, I can't take it." As he spoke, he handed the blanket back to Mother Lan, and at the same time put his hands down, careful not to let the dirt in his palms touch the blanket.

Mother Lan waved her hand, "You're welcome, it's a good thing to meet you today, you can accept it." ”

The Juanxiu woman excused herself again and again, then took it down, took the blanket in her hand, and did not dare to wear it on her body.

Seeing this, Hua Tian said, "You just put it on, if it's cold today, you are wearing a robe, but you can't die of cold." ”

Luo Yun simply put down the basket, stepped forward and pulled the Juanxiu woman aside, leaning her back against the mountain wall, to help the woman change her clothes.

Hua Tian and Mother Lan turned their backs to the two and covered the two.

Listening to the sound of rustling behind her, the woman soon stood up around a blanket, but the blanket was short, and there was still nothing below her knees.

Hua Tian looked at Mother Lan, "Do we have any clothes she wears in our baggage?" ”

This woman is like this now, it is really unbearable.

Hua Tian sighed secretly in her heart, she only knew that people would be very poor, and the poorest one was that she was like Hua Heng and Hua Ke in the past, wearing coarse cloth clothes and shivering with cold. These are just what she thinks of as poverty.

Now she knows that a woman like Juanxiu is the real poor. So poor that he has no clothes to wear, so he can only wear clothes to cover his body!

Mother Lan and Luo Yun had never seen such a poor scene, so they were very worried in their hearts.

Needless to say, Mother Lan was born rich and noble, even if she lived in the rivers and lakes later, her food and clothing were still excellent.

Luo Yun was raised by Mother Lan, and she has been rich in food and clothing since she was a child, and she does not have the trouble of lack of food and clothing.

When the three of them suddenly saw the beautiful woman, they all seemed to see a world they had never seen before.

Mother Lan rummaged through the baggage, took out a set of clothes she was going to change, and asked Juanxiu to change them aside.

Juanxiu is thirteen years old, and Lan's mother has shrunk due to her age, but the two are compatible.

Putting on her clothes, Juanxiu woman rolled up a blanket and came to thank Hua Tian, Lan Mama, and Luo Yun again and again.

Hua Tian looked at the sky, the rising sun was rising higher and higher, and said, "Okay, you can take us to your eldest brother." ”

Juanxiu nodded, "My name is Tan Xiuxin, my eldest brother's name is Tan Yong, I live in Tanjia Village, and the foreman is Tan Yi in our village." As he spoke, he walked ahead with his left hand holding his robe and his right hand rolling up the blanket.

With her clothes, she no longer seemed to be cold, and the purple-blue color of her face disappeared into the white color of a cardamom woman.

After walking for a short time, there was an honest man greeting Tan Xiuxin, Tan Xiuxin answered one by one, and asked Tan Yong where he was.

Those who know, they point behind them, and those who don't know, they say they don't know.

This place already belongs to the scope of mountain and forest construction, and there are men who are in full swing everywhere, and it is also very lively.

Hua Tian's four people, the old one, the young one, and the useless little lady, attracted a lot of attention to follow along the way.

"A few people came with the slave family, and they should be here." Tan Xiuxin beckoned Hua Tian and the others to follow her forward.

Hua Tian took Lan's mother by the hand and followed, but her eyes looked around.

The people here are estimated to be transporting materials. Some use cars, and some have great strength, and they all use their arms to carry them directly.

Bypassing a mountain beam, Tan Xiuxin's pace quickened, and he quickly grabbed a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Lang Jun, and shouted in surprise, "Big brother......

Hua Tian and Lan's mother looked and saw that Xiao Langjun was wearing pants covered with patches, and his upper body was naked. Naked, gasping for breath and walking back. The figure was as tall as a grown man.

"Sister, you blanket...... And the clothes, where did they come from? When Xiao Langjun saw Tan Xiuxin, he was first overjoyed, and then asked in surprise.

"It was a few benefactors who sent my sister." Tan Xiuxin stretched out her hand and pointed at Hua Tian and the others.

Xiaolangjun Tan Yong smiled shyly at Hua Tian and the others, then reached out and scratched his head, and said sternly to Tan Xiuxin, "How can you ask for other people's clothes for no reason, you go home quickly, wash it and return it to your benefactor." ”

Luo Yun stepped forward, glanced at Tan Yong, looked away, and said, "Let's send her, what do you say?" ”

"This, this ......" Tan Yong's childish face instantly turned red, and he waved his hand, "That, no merit is not punished, we must not want it." ”

Seeing that Luo Yun seemed to be about to speak, Hua Tian glared at her and said to Tan Yong, "This big brother, how much money can you earn a day when you work here?" ”

Tan Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I am young and have a lot of food, and after deducting food, I only have seven yuan left every day." ”

Before Hua Tian could say anything, he heard a loud shout in an instant, "What do you say?" Don't you have to work anymore? What am I asking you to do here? ”

Tan Yong shuddered instantly, with a panicked look on his face, and promised in his mouth, "I'll go to ...... right away" As he spoke, he glanced at Hua Tian and the others, and was so anxious that he wanted to leave.

Hua Tian and the three of them saw it in their eyes, and they all knew that Tan Yong was really afraid of the speaker.

Tan Yong walked away, and a man with triangular eyes and an extremely thin face came to Hua Tian and the others, and shouted, "Who are you, who allowed you to come in?" ”

Mother Lan said unhappily, "We have relatives who are here to take care of things, and we are looking for him at this moment." Just as he was about to ask for directions, he made you drink back. ”

When the triangular-eyed man heard this, his ears moved, he looked at the clothes of the three people, and immediately said with a smile on his face, "I don't know which steward you are looking for, and some may be able to help." ”

"No, we'll find it ourselves. You'd better take care of your work. Mother Lan waved her hand and led Hua Tian away.

The triangular-eyed man still wanted to keep up, but when he saw Mother Lan's cold look and heard her mention her own work, he was a little embarrassed and accosted, "Isn't this embroidered heart?" How many do you recognize? ”

Tan Xiuxin nodded, but did not speak, but hid behind Luo Yun.

Hua Tian took in the full view of the qiē, and said to the triangular eye quietly, "If you don't go yet, is it possible that you don't have to do anything?" ”

"This, this, so-and-so, let's go." The triangular-eyed man said as he walked forward. When he left, he turned back three times at a time, as if he was extremely reluctant.

Tan Xiuxin was relieved, looked at Hua Tian and the three of them with a look of admiration, and said, "You guys are so smart. ”

Hua Tian smiled silently, took Lan's mother's hand and continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, there was no longer a man with triangular eyes, Hua Tian said to Tan Xiuxin, "Take a look, which one belongs to your village." ”

Tan Xiuxin then looked up at the people who came and went, and soon greeted one of them.

Luo Yun saw that Tan Xiuxin had beckoned someone to come, so he followed Hua Tian's example and stepped forward to ask how much money he could earn that day.

Soon, the answer was obtained, the adult man had ten cents a day.

Hua Tian listened, didn't speak, and continued to walk forward, asking people from time to time along the way how much he could earn by working here.

After turning a high slope, I finally met an acquaintance.

It was one of the people that Lan's mother gave at the beginning, he saw Hua Tian and the three of them, hurriedly waved away the people around him, walked up, and said respectfully, "Why are you here?" ”

Hua Tian didn't have a smile on his face, nodded to greet and asked, "Third Uncle Qiu, where is Zhao Mu?" ”

When Qiu San saw Hua Tian's appearance, his heart became a little solemn, and he said, "It's over there, you can go with me." ”

After speaking, he bowed slightly to Mother Lan, and then turned his eyes to look at Hua Tian's movements, and saw Hua Tian nodding, and hurriedly led the way. In his heart, he thought about it, could it be that something had happened to make this young lady so safe.

At the beginning, they waited for others, and were given to Hua Tian by Mother Lan, so they tried if Hua Tian could be their own master. The results of the initial test showed that this young lady, who was only five years old, was very powerful.

Tan Xiuxin saw that the people in the mountains and forests who looked like stewards were respectful to Hua Tian, and she panicked in her heart, and she followed with one foot high and one foot low.

After entering a wooden house in the mountains, Zhao Mu immediately welcomed the person into the house and ordered tea.

The wooden house was very simple, except for rough chairs and tables, but there was nothing beside it.

Hua Tian's anger dissipated a lot unconsciously when he saw this humble house. R1152
