After saying that, Zhao Canniang reluctantly put her burden on, and after saying a word to the groom who had already gotten up, she walked out of the door of the inn.

The streets were very muddy, and the carriage walked by, and Zhao Canniang couldn't help but avoid the mud.

Only the main street is paved with bluestone slabs, and the other alleys are dirt roads, which can be difficult to walk when it rains.

Zhao Canniang stumbled to the ready-to-wear store, but fortunately, it had already opened its doors to do business.

Inside, she bought a set of cotton clothes according to Zhao Bingniang's figure, and when she paid the silver and turned around, Zhao Canniang actually saw a familiar figure flashing on the street.

Just glanced at Zhao Canniang when he chased him out again, the figure was no longer there.

Zhao Canniang was very puzzled and returned to the inn, unable to figure out how if it was really that person, how could he be in this small town, which was so close to the county seat.

The groom had already taken the initiative to go out and buy steamed buns and come back.

Sitting on the table in the lobby of the inn, simply eating steamed buns to fill her stomach, Zhao Canniang felt that her body was much warmer.

When Zhao Canniang and the others went to the restaurant, the fat shopkeeper had already cleaned up.

Last night, Zhao Canniang was the time for the fat shopkeeper to pack up his things.

Zhao Canniang walked into the restaurant and looked around, and found that there were no less tables and stools, and the pots and pans in the kitchen were all there, so she was relieved.

The chef in the restaurant also arrived at the door at this time, a dark and thin middle-aged man.

"Have you packed it all?" Zhao Canniang asked the fat shopkeeper, stretched out his hand to hand over the key, and this restaurant will be her Zhao Canniang's in the future.

The fat shopkeeper was a little reluctant to hand the key to Zhao Canniang, and then said, "This is the chef of our restaurant." I've been following me for more than ten years, I don't know if Miss can enjoy food? ”

Zhao Canniang looked at the black and thin chef. I saw a subtle gleam in the chef's eyes.

Zhao Canniang knew right away that this man couldn't be used!

Smile slightly. Zhao Canniang said: "I'm afraid this can't help." ”

Before Zhao Canniang's words were finished, the black and thin chef said a little unconvinced: "Why not, you have also eaten the dishes I cooked, little girl, are you looking down on me when you say this?" ”

Seeing the question of the black and thin man, Zhao Canniang just hooked the corners of her mouth, and then glanced at the fat shopkeeper, and saw that the expression on the fat shopkeeper's face was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Canniang didn't have so many scruples, but said with a smile: "It's not that I look down on my uncle, it's just that my family may be going to open a private restaurant." Since it is a private dish, there will be no outsiders in the back kitchen, please understand. ”

As soon as these words came out, the fat shopkeeper was surprised.

"Are you that relative of Zhao Bing's mother's family? Zhao's private dishes are yours? The fat shopkeeper was very angry after speaking, and his eyes looked directly at Zhao Bingniang who was standing behind.

That Zhao Bingniang actually dared to hide him! It is really hateful to not even tell him about such an important matter.

Zhao Canniang glanced at the fat shopkeeper with a smile, and then said, "What's wrong with my family?" Is there something wrong? ”

After listening to Zhao Canniang's words, the fat shopkeeper's eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Zhao Bingniang, you are ruthless ......." The fat shopkeeper ignored Zhao Canniang, and just looked at Zhao Bingniang with fire in his eyes and said.

Zhao Bingniang looked a little afraid of the fat shopkeeper, and her body couldn't help shrinking back.

Zhao Canniang doesn't care so much. She had already locked the front and back doors of the restaurant just now, so it's good to lock them at this time.

As for the restaurant, it must be sorted out and planned well before it is ready to open.

Now it's locked up like this.

"Shopkeeper, if you don't have anything to do, shouldn't we go to the yamen now?" It's better to close the house as soon as possible.

The fat shopkeeper's eyes looked like they were about to breathe fire.

This restaurant is his family business and has always been. He was careful in his management, and if he hadn't been involved in gambling, he wouldn't have ended up like this now.

Zhao Bingniang obviously knew that Zhao Canniang in front of her was the owner of Zhao's private dishes. deliberately didn't tell him that Zhao Canniang actually bought the restaurant.

The fat shopkeeper is now full of anger.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Okay, we'll go to the yamen now." ”

After saying that, he got into his carriage. The thin, dark man left with him.

Zhao Canniang took Zhao Bingniang into the carriage and followed behind the fat shopkeeper.

On the carriage, Zhao Bingniang looked very scared.

Zhao Canniang didn't want to say anything. But after enduring it many times, he still said: "You don't have to worry about being afraid, now you have nothing to do with him, and you are not under his control, so don't worry, after I ask my mother and relatives in Baiyun County, I will arrange a good residence for you, as for the rest, you can grasp it yourself, my kindness is limited." ”

Saying these words, Zhao Canniang is not like Zhao Canniang at all, how can a twelve-year-old child say so many words.

feels like this, but I feel that Zhao Canniang is like an adult.

At noon, I only ate a little dry food and continued on my way.

Because you are in a hurry today, you have to speed up, and the road is not easy to walk because of the snow, so you have to pay attention at all times.

Finally, in the afternoon, I arrived in Baiyun County.

deliberately called the groom to the house and brought Zhao Yuniang into the restaurant.

The Qin family spent the whole day looking forward to Zhao Canniang's return, and from time to time they would look in the direction of the city gate.

Finally saw Zhao Canniang come back, but saw that Zhao Canniang also brought Zhao Bingniang back, the Qin family was very puzzled, but also believed that Zhao Canniang would not do things without proportion.

"Mother, I still have something to go out, and I won't talk about anything until later."

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she walked out directly and took the groom's car in the direction of the yamen.

The handover was very smooth, and all the formalities were handled quickly, as for Zhao Bingniang's ......, Zhao Canniang did not give Zhao Bingniang a slave registration.

Thinking that Zhao Bingniang was also a pitiful person, Zhao Canniang finally resisted the impulse.

The fat shopkeeper and the black and thin man came out of the yamen and left directly in a huff.

Now back in Baiyun County, naturally there is no need for grooms.

Zhao Canniang saw that it was almost there, so she settled the money with the groom.

"Miss, thank you for your generosity." The groom was in a good mood holding the silver. Zhao Canniang gave him two taels of silver.

You must know that these two taels of silver can only be earned by driving a month's carriage on weekdays.

The groom has taken good care of her along the way, and now she can return safely. It's all worth it, even if it's a little more money.

"Uncle, you'd better take it. This money was promised to you, and you are going to rest here tonight. ”

The groom nodded: "I will rest for the night tonight, miss, I will send you back and unload the things." ”

Back at the door of the restaurant, Zhao Canniang asked a few people from the Qin family to come out to help.

The things brought back from Yucheng were all moved out of the carriage.

When the Qin family saw Zhao Canniang buying such a lot of things, he didn't complain at all.

Leaving the groom to eat together, the business in the shop is basically busy.

Business has been prosperous from the beginning, and now it has gradually calmed down, and there are not many people at the table at night.

After sending off the groom. Only Aunt Liao's mother and son remained.

Because Aunt Liao was worried that the Qin family would not be able to be busy here, the three of them rented a house in the city, and now the three of them live in the city at night and rarely go back.

Aunt Liao's mother and son looked at Zhao Bingniang in front of them with complicated expressions.

When she was busy just now, Zhao Bingniang was very honest and busy in the back kitchen, but she was honest and well-behaved.

"How did you end up like this?" Qin asked with a frown.

Zhao Bingniang raised her head, her previous arrogance was completely gone, replaced by an incomprehensible humility.

"Maybe I've done too many wrong things before. So now I deserve to be like this, Canniang has bought me, and I will be Canniang's slave in the future, and I will do dirty work now. As long as you can give me something to eat, and you can give me a place to live. Zhao Bingniang knew very well in her heart that the Yue clan and the Chu clan would never tolerate her.

Even if he returns to Zhaojiazhuang now, what he will get by that time is just a shame.

Qin and Aunt Liao glanced at each other. Didn't say anything.

Zhao Canniang on the side said: "Don't say that, I just want to be worthy of my heart when I saved you." I did not make you a slave, and you will be a free man from now on. You can do whatever you want, but I think it's better for you to go back to Zhaojiazhuang, after all, it is your maiden home, if it is your maiden home, it is right to go back.

When Zhao Bingniang heard this, she waved her hand again and again.

"Please, I really don't want to go back to Zhaojiazhuang, do you still need people here, I can really do anything, dirty work can be tiring, I just beg you, don't send me away." Zhao Bingniang knew that if she didn't seize the opportunity now, she would really have no chance in the future, and now she was like duckweed.

Qin sighed helplessly: "It's not that we don't want to keep you, it's just that you also know that your mother and your sister-in-law are people, if we keep you, there will only be more trouble in the future, you know I don't like to live the old days." ”

Qin's words made Zhao Bingniang stunned.

Maybe she has experienced these things herself, and now Zhao Bingniang can better understand the hard life that the Qin family lived in the past.

It is really not easy for the Qin family to be able to hold on to the present with the child.

Zhao Bingniang cried, sobbing and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I want to rely on you, I'm really grateful to Canniang for saving me, if she hadn't said that maybe I would have beaten that person to death soon, I had brought a message to my mother and sister-in-law before, but the words of the two made me heartbroken, I have been subsidizing my mother's house for so many years, subsidizing a lot of silver, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, no one stood up to say a word to me, support my waist, I really don't know what I should do next, You know my mother's personality, and she's going to kick me out of the house. ”

Zhao Bingniang said pitifully, the Qin family and Aunt Liao are both women, and their hearts will inevitably soften.

"You can stay, but we have a few conditions that you must agree to." Qin's expression was serious.

She'd been stupid once before, and now she'd never make the same mistake twice.

Zhao Bingniang has no way out now, she only has two taels of silver given by Zhao Canniang, even if she saves it, it can't last long, so many years of life in the fat shopkeeper's brocade clothes and jade food, embroidery hands and feet have long been stupid, in addition to rough work, she really doesn't know what she can do, and these are not the key to things.

The crux of the matter is that she is really afraid of being tortured by others, and she is afraid of the days when life is worse than death. Also timid.

Zhao Bingniang immediately said: "Sister-in-law, you said, whether it is one or ten, I will agree, as long as you can give me a bite to eat and give me a place to stay." ”

Seeing this, Qin smiled helplessly.

"That's it! I don't know if it's right to do this today, you listen, here I don't want to encounter the two troubles of the Yue family and the Chu family, so you have to deal with the two of them well, the next thing we want here is to be diligent, quick eyes, and do things neatly, the kitchen will clean up the newly bought vegetables every morning, and we will be busy back and forth when the meal is ordered, you must do things diligently, and then you can't enter the kitchen for stir-frying, as for the salary, I will settle it for you on time, How much depends on your performance. ”

After Qin finished speaking in one breath, Zhao Bingniang nodded directly and agreed: "I agree with sister-in-law, you can rest assured that I will do things well, and I will definitely not disappoint you and Canniang." ”

Aunt Liao on the side smiled coldly: "I hope you can do what you say." ”

Qin Shi looked at the sky outside and saw that it was already late.

"You will follow us back to the house to rest today, and come with us early tomorrow morning, if you have a wound on your face in the past two days, don't come to the front hall, help in the back kitchen."

Hearing Qin say this, Zhao Bingniang couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.

"Sister-in-law, can I go back to Zhaojiazhuang tomorrow morning? There are some things I want to understand, and I don't want to have trouble in the future. Zhao Bingniang begged.

Qin nodded, these were all things she didn't want to see.

If Zhao Bingniang can handle things well at one time, this is naturally the best.

"Go back tomorrow! Do you still have any silver on you? Qin finally couldn't bear to ask.

Zhao Bingniang is not insatiable now, and immediately nodded: "There is also silver, Canniang gave me two taels yesterday." ”

Zhao Canniang saw that Zhao Bingniang's matter was now dealt with, and she was very excited to run to the counter and take out all the things she bought from Yucheng.

"Mother, this is the clothing material I bought for you, and Aunt Liao is the clothing material I bought for you...... Zhao Canniang gave away all the things she bought from Yucheng one by one.

Even Zhao Bingniang got a few finely crafted bead flowers.

Zhao Canniang slept peacefully this night.

The Qin family hadn't been with anyone with Zhao Canniang for a long time, and suddenly slept with Zhao Canniang, as if he had returned to the past.

My mind keeps recalling the past. (To be continued......)
