The sixth child glanced at the child who was standing obediently and didn't move, "There is an official who has come to pass the word early in the morning, let us pay attention to a nine-year-old child, hey, this is a portrait, we have one on our side, and you haven't received it over there?" ”

"No wonder I saw the official before I came over, and I thought I was here to collect money again." The big man muttered, glanced at the portrait, and pouted: "Where is this like, you can't look at someone about the same age and be suspicious." ”

The sixth child also felt that it was not like it, and someone in private was rumored that the fire in the city lord's mansion last night was set by the city lord, and he died in the fire with the very favored Mrs. Ru, and now the official is looking for him and Mrs. Ru's son.

It's really strange, the city lord has more than this one son, why is he looking for this one? Could it be that all the others are dead, and this is the only one that escaped?

The city lord who wants to be windy and rainy on weekdays actually died like this, everyone felt that it was not appropriate, worried that something had happened, but the days had to pass, and the silver had to be earned, otherwise the family would have to drink the northwest wind.

I don't know how many people comfort themselves in their hearts like him, it is the business of the big nobles, and they can continue to work in fear with fear and fear without doing anything for these little people.

"Come on, there is no one at home for a child, and I want to go to Huiting City to join my sister, what's wrong with you taking it with you."

Seeing that the big man was annoyed on his face, the sixth smiled bitterly, there was nothing he could do about this fellow who grew up with mud, and when he heard that the child was going to join his sister, he no longer shirked it.

The city lord and Mrs. Ru have a son, where is the daughter, and then look at the child who is covered in ashes. Although his eyes are a little brighter, he looks like a city lord.

Dahan was happy at this time. walked to Guo Ruizong's side, just like last time, and carried the person into the carriage without saying a word.

With the experience of the last time, Guo Ruizong did not panic. He also wrapped his arms around his neck.

"It will take two days to go to Huiting City, and you will stay at the inn for one night at night, and then you will follow that uncle."

"Uncle Xiexie."

There were already eight people in the carriage that could accommodate ten people, and the big man put him in the middle place, and asked the others, "The child goes out alone, everyone helps take care of the handle." ”

The people in the carriage thought he was Guo Ruizong's person, and they all nodded when they heard the words, not enthusiastic. But they all expressed kindness.

"Okay, Chengzi, hurry down, it's time to go."

Dahan touched Guo Ruizong's head, and got out of the carriage without saying anything.

Guo Ruizong's gaze followed him until the curtain of the carriage separated the two.

Xia Hanqiu was grateful to that big man in her heart, if it weren't for him to help her, I really don't know how Nian'er would leave that Wuyang City and come to her.

But when you count the time, it's not right, "When did you enter the city?" ”

"The carriage broke down halfway through. After a long time, the gate was closed when we arrived at the pavilion, and we rested outside the city last night, and came in early this morning when the gate opened. ”

So counted. I didn't have to wait long.

Xia Hanqiu wanted to continue to ask, but when he saw Ah Jiu coming in with food, he remembered that Nian'er hadn't eaten today, and he was afraid that he hadn't eaten well in the past few days. Thinking about what has already happened, there is no need to rush for a moment, so I don't ask anymore. He took his shirt and put it on him.

The clothes that I bought temporarily from the ready-to-wear shop outside didn't fit well, Xia Hanqiu frowned.

Ah Jiu set up the food. Seeing that the young lady looked like this, she said: "The maid is already in a hurry, so let the son wear it today." ”

Guo Ruizong nodded, "Sister, I can wear anything." ”

Xia Hanqiu smiled and squatted down. Put on his shoes, fortunately, the shoes are about the same size.

"Eat something first, I don't know what you like to eat, if you don't like it, you will change to something else tomorrow."

"I'll eat them all."

lost his father and mother one after another, Guo Ruizong was the most insecure time, but his only sister had never gotten along before, he was afraid of being disliked, then he had nowhere to go, so he behaved cautiously everywhere, how could there be any superiority of a noble son.

Xia Hanqiu didn't know what his previous temperament was, and this kind of thought made her feel distressed.

In the few faces she has seen, whether it is Nian'er when she was a child or Nian'er when she grows up, she has never shown this side.

Also, in the past, he was protected by his mother, and he just grew up safely, but now, he has lost all his support.

Guo Ruizong was so hungry that he panicked, a bowl of porridge quickly bottomed out, and he habitually wanted to tell the maid to continue to add, but when he raised his eyes, he saw his sister's not good-looking face, and swallowed all the words.

How could he forget that he was no longer the previous city lord Guo Ruizong.

He doesn't even have the power to protect himself, and he still needs the protection of his sister.

"Nian'er, why do you eat so much?" Seeing that he wanted to put down his chopsticks, Xia Hanqiu was anxious, so how much did he eat, "Don't you like to eat?" My sister asked me to do something else. ”

"No, no, I like to eat, sister, I like to eat."

"If you like to eat, eat more, the doctor said that your body should be well nourished, rest assured, my sister can afford to support you." As he spoke, Xia Hanqiu took the bowl from Ah Jiu's hand and personally added porridge to him, and sandwiched some vegetables on top of it.

Guo Ruizong remembered something, put down his chopsticks and touched his chest, and took things out of his underwear.

He was worried that he would accidentally drop it, so he tied the package firmly to his body, and tied it for two days on a hot day, and the package was sour.

The package was opened, and the most conspicuous thing was the two letters inside.

One has one or two words written on it, but the other is blank.

Guo Ruizong took Jingyi's letter aside, this is useless, but if he can meet people in the future, he still wants to give the letter to the other party, let her know her mother's trust in her, and he hopes that there will be one more person in the world who remembers her mother.

"Sister, this is for you by my mother."

Xia Hanqiu took the letter, held it in his hand for a long time, and finally didn't open it on the spot.

Guo Ruizong pushed all the other things in the package in front of Xia Hanqiu, "Sister, these are all for you, can you help me hire a powerful master, I want to learn martial arts." ”

Few children of the aristocracy are willing to learn martial arts, and the inability to endure that hardship is one of the reasons, and because martial artists have never been able to enter the eyes of the nobles, although there are many places where they need to rely on martial arts.

I can't look at it. Who would be willing to let himself be that kind of person?

Now Nian'er proposes to learn martial arts......

Xia Hanqiu moved all the things aside and put them away, and pushed the bowl in front of him. "Eat first."

Guo Ruizong obediently drank another bowl of porridge, but he still felt not full. But he still didn't plan to ask for it again.

Xia Hanqiu only realized it at this time.

I wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I finally swallowed the words and refilled a bowl for him.

After three bowls of belly, Guo Ruizong said no.

It's late at night.

One is that I slept all day and didn't feel sleepy at all.

One is that there are so many things in my heart that I have forgotten what time it is.

Ah Jiu wanted to remind him, but he was dragged out by Ru Niang and retreated.

The candlelight flickered, and the shadows of the two swayed with it.

Xia Hanqiu neatly picked up a stack of silver tickets, and there were sixteen large amounts of 1,000 taels of silver tickets. A few of five hundred taels, a few of a hundred taels, in addition to the silver tickets, there are more than a dozen pieces of jewelry, not big, all of them are rings and earrings, which should have been grabbed from her jewelry box in a hurry.

And these silver tickets, I am afraid that the mother collected everything that could be collected in the city lord's mansion at that time.

"Nian'er, if you can trust your sister, can you help you deal with these silver tickets?"

"To my sister."

"My sister can earn it herself. These are left to you by my mother, I can't ask for them, but ......" Thinking that Nian'er was nine years old, Xia Hanqiu didn't hide it. Tell him what you think, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just leave an impression in your heart. When you grow up, you will understand.

"The Liang Dynasty is about to be in chaos, and no one with a little foresight will deposit the silver in the money bank. If the money bank closes, if one day the owner of the money bank dies. Whom will our money go? Taking advantage of the fact that no one is running on it now, my sister went to take out the silver in batches, and then exchanged it for gold and hid it, no matter how chaotic the world is, gold is more useful than other things, my sister said this, can you understand? ”

Guo Ruizong didn't speak, Xia Hanqiu knew that he was thinking, and he didn't urge.

After a while, Guo Ruizong nodded, "I understand, I just don't save the silver in the hands of others, but exchange it for gold and keep it in my own hands." ”

"Yes, Nian'er is so smart." Seeing that he really understood, Xia Hanqiu praised with a smile, "The shop opened by my sister can earn some money every month, except for some silver that needs to be liquid on the books, I have replaced the rest with gold and put it in a hidden place, even if all the money banks are closed one day, I am not afraid." ”

And such a day will not be too far away, and by that time the silver ticket will be used to light the fire.

And once there is chaos, Qian Zhuang will definitely be the first place to suffer, whether it is the people who take advantage of the situation to make chaos or the officers and soldiers, they will aim there.

She can't warn everyone, at least she has to make sure that her money doesn't fall into the hands of others.

Guo Ruizong understood as soon as he heard it this time, "My sister is in charge of this matter, it's just the matter of learning martial arts that I said before......"

"Nian'er, don't worry." Xia Hanqiu told him about the situation at home, "I'm a woman, no one looks at me, you're still a child, what if you invite a martial artist with a bad mind?" Don't worry, what you want to do, my sister will definitely help you do it, we don't have to invite others for this, my uncle is better than many people, yesterday I asked people to send a letter to my uncle, at that time I didn't know that you would come to me, only wrote in the letter worried about my mother's words, please go to Wuyang to see the situation, if he is at home to receive the letter will definitely go, we are waiting for him at home to come to the door. ”

Guo Ruizong was worried that this was just his sister's words to appease him, so he pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

Xia Hanqiu was not annoyed, held his hand and said softly: "Nian'er, my sister must speak count, you will believe me once, eh?" ”

"What if...... What if my uncle doesn't come? Sister, can't you send another letter to my brother-in-law saying that I came to you? ”

"He won't not come, Nian'er, my grandfather's family must be targeted now, I don't know if Taren will attract the attention of others, if he goes again, my grandfather's family may be in danger."

"I mean, what if......"

Looking at the child who insisted on asking for an answer, Xia Hanqiu promised, "Then I will invite someone else to be your master." ”

"Really?"

"Well, it's a deal." (To be continued......)
