And the old man Li had been in this area before, and more than half a year ago, the little beggar named Xiaobao suddenly disappeared; It didn't take long for Lao Tian, Lao Wei and Old Man Li to disappear together. I only vaguely heard that on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, they seemed to go back to the house with the owner of a solid family to do work.

Today is the day of the big market, and many of them come out early to look for it, hoping to get more money or food. However, they didn't expect that the old man Li, who was also down-and-out in the past, was now dressed neatly and neatly, and saw that there were several baskets of ripe fruits in front of them, and this was to make a living in the bazaar?

A few people who had been familiar with Old Man Li walked straight forward, greeting each other in a weird manner, and unceremoniously going to eat the fruits in the straw basket.

Six or seven dirty beggars suddenly appeared in front of her, and Yun'er was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Old Man Li. Old man Li and the three of them were all stunned, but after thinking about it, it was normal to meet old acquaintances in this place. Then he immediately greeted him with a smile, and handed the fruit to the remaining people.

"Are you all doing?" Old man Li grinned and asked without front teeth, "Is it enough to eat?" Not enough to take some more, right? ”

"Old man Li, are you getting rich?" One of them asked sourly, casually spitting the grape skins on the ground.

"It's just a meal with the owner." Old man Li smiled and continued to hand the fruit to them.

"Hey~ We've spread it here a long time ago, who doesn't know that a few of you have followed a rich master's family, and now your small life is called a nourishment." The other person looked at Yun'er behind Old Man Li, and said with a smile, "Who is this girl?" Could it be the little bed warmer that your lord's family took for you, right? ”

After saying that, these made the Hanako let out a mocking laugh.

When did Yun'er hear this kind of talk, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she didn't dare to argue with these flowers, so she only wiped her tears sullenly and angrily.

Lao Tian took a step forward and blocked Yun'er behind him with Old Man Li, "Don't talk nonsense, this is the daughter-in-law of our housekeeper who has not passed the door." Let's stay in our mouths and eat more fruit. ”

"Tsk~" Another person smacked his lips sourly, "We've been messing around together for several years, and now that you're generous, just send us away with such a little bit of broken peach and plum?" ”

"What's wrong with that? We were originally going to have food, huh? There is no comparison with someone so expensive. ”

"By the way, what about Xiaobao's little monkey? Why don't you see where he is? I heard that he was taken back by your rich owner to be raised as a son? What kind of family are you? Can't the lady of the main family give birth to dolls? ”

……

The crowd gossiped and tossed several baskets of fruit all over the place. knew that the other party was deliberately here to find fault, but Old Man Li and the others did not dare to completely tear their faces with them.

First, everyone has been together for several years, and they know that each other is a group of poor people who are miserable and homeless; Second, if there is a verbal conflict with these beggars, Baozhun will provoke the control of the local snakes and even the officers and soldiers. They are here to sell the fruit, and they can't go back with the same feathers as they did the last time they sold fish.

As the sun began to shine, the crowds in the market began to crowd. Some of the people who came and went glanced at this side a little, attracted by the red and purple fruits in the grass basket, but were frightened away by the group of flowers attached to them.

Old man Li and the others felt that it would be too delaying to go on like this, so they were ready to open their mouths and persuade them to leave.

"That...... Why don't you go to the market first? The old guard bowed down and persuaded with kind words.

Hearing this, several people on the other side immediately grabbed this sentence, and all of them mocked Old Man Li and the others in strange voices. Their voices were so loud that they soon attracted the attention of a bunch of pizzies. The splashes approached quietly, only to see two groups of people fighting incessantly, and one of the baskets of fruit had been sprinkled on the ground at some point. It's sweet and delicious, and it's a shame to waste it like this.

They were about to go over to take care of it, when they suddenly saw a dozen people coming in front of them on strong horses. More than a dozen people are in a state of dust, like taking a long journey.

The two men suddenly tightened their reins near the entrance to the market and leaped off their horses. Everyone behind him immediately jumped off the horse, although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, they moved quickly, and a little recognition knew that they were all practicing the skills of the family.

The pimpies looked at each other and stood still for the time being, trying to see what this group of people were here for.

The two of them rushed to the middle of the two groups who were arguing, "Okay, don't quarrel." ”

The person who spoke was quite tall, and his appearance was upright, with a strong nose and cheeks, and there was a sense of not being angry and arrogant. He pressed the handle of the knife on his waist with one hand, and his voice was not loud but very deep: "Give money." ”

Immediately a man came up behind him, took out some broken silver from his cuff, and threw it into the hands of these beggars.

"Our lord gave a reward, so let's disperse as soon as possible."

When the flowers saw this group of people, they knew that they were not easy to mess with, and each of them received a little silver in their hands, and their faces changed instantly when they were satisfied, and they fled to the depths of the market with a flattering sentence.

The person who spoke, Old Man Li and the others didn't recognize it at all, but they were very familiar with the person behind him. Jin Sheng walked up to them with a smile and said, "Old man Li, I came back in time, right?" ”

Although Jin Sheng was talking to Old Man Li, his eyes were staring straight at Yun'er, whose face was full of ashes. Yun'er had long wanted to run into Jin Sheng's arms, but the brother Jin she had been thinking about for a long time finally came back. It's just that there are so many people around me, and it's just very difficult to wipe my face.

"Brother Jin, you're finally back!" Lao Tian and Lao Wei stepped forward one after another and sighed: "Fortunately, you are back, otherwise, hey......"

Jin Sheng turned around and looked at the person hanging the knife, "Guo Lin, they are Lao Tian, Lao Wei, and Old Man Li that I mentioned to you. ”

Guo Lin approached dignifiedly, bowed slightly towards them and hugged his fists: "The Hou Mansion has worked for you during this time." ”

"You, you are the legendary Guo General?"

Guo Lin admitted with a smile, and looked at the thin Yun'er behind him, "Sister Yun'er doesn't recognize me anymore, or does she only think of Jin Sheng in her heart?" ”

Yun'er blushed and bowed her head and bowed her knees to them.

"It's just that it hasn't opened until now." Old man Li said embarrassedly, "It's because we don't have the ability." ”

"It doesn't matter." Jin Sheng comforted, turning his head to look around, "What about Madame and Shui Sheng?" Hou Ye is worried about the house, so let's come over and take a look. ”

"Brother Jin......" Feng Ran called his name when he was far away, and Sui Qi was the first to run back with his calves.

"It's a good day, you're finally back!" Feng Ran ran closer and kept gasping, "General Guo, we all want to kill you!" ”

Guo Lin hurriedly led the people behind him to salute Feng Ran, and said: "Guo Lin is all right, and Mrs. Lao is worried." ”

The splashes not far away had already guessed that these people must be from a big family in Jinxian County, and a few people whispered a few words and turned around to leave. But he was suddenly stopped by Jin Sheng, "Hey~ you guys-wait." ”

Jin Sheng took a small bag of broken silver and stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Presumably a few masters are taking care of it here, right?" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." The leader shook his head and laughed.

Jin Sheng even stuffed the money bag into the leader's hand, "Our house will come over to make a small business in the near future, so I will take care of it." A little heart, not respect. ”

"It's a matter of duty, so let's get rid of this." The leader was about to return the silver, but was pushed back by Jin Sheng with a palm.

"Uncle smiled, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the master's family when we go back."

Seeing this, the leader happily accepted it, "Then you can set up a stall here with peace of mind, and no one will dare to trouble you again." ”

"What's your last name?"

"Xiao Ding, everyone in this market knows it."

"Uncle Ding, we've thanked you first." Jin Sheng smiled slightly, "Our house is in the southeastern suburbs of the county, and the main family name is ...... Phoenix. ”

Xiao Ding understood the inside story and left with the silver satisfied.

Feng Ran circled around Guo Lin and Jin Sheng for half a circle, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "It seems that this trip to the capital is very rewarding, tell me if we can eat meat tonight?" ”

"Of course you can!" Guo Lin said as if packing a ticket, and raised his hand to call a dozen or so people over.

"Does Madame still recognize them?"

Feng Ran smiled awkwardly: "A little familiar?" ”

"Let's go back to the house and talk slowly. Here, I will hand it over to Old Man Li and let them help with the handle on the side. Guo Lin arranged it in an orderly manner.

Feng Ran was not at ease, he and Shui Sheng asked the market price in the market for a long time, and finally figured out the details, but they didn't have time to explain to Old Man Li and them. On the other hand, Shui Sheng has an indifferent expression, completely like a shopkeeper.

"Madame, our people have all returned. In the future, you don't have to do everything yourself, just explain what the people below you want to do. Shui Sheng patted Jin Sheng and Guo Lin on the shoulder, "They have made a great contribution to Hou Ye!" ”

Shui Sheng guessed that Feng Ran also guessed, she just couldn't convert it for a while. After a brief settlement with Old Man Li, he took Yun'er and Sui Qi back to the house.

"Well, does Madame know how to ride a horse?" Guo Lin leaned over and asked, "If not...... The subordinates went to the foot shop and hired a carriage to come back. ”

"Wait!"

Feng Ran and their people are used to being poor, and they came to the market step by step today. Guo Lin treated herself with such a respectful attitude, she was happy in her heart, but she didn't have time to prepare psychologically or ideologically.

"Go back, I can do it."

"How can this work?" Guo Lin kept shaking his head, and grabbed the aquatic life on the side, "You take me to the foot walk around here, madam, wait." ”

After passing a cup of tea, Feng Ran led Sui Qi and Yun'er to sit in a carriage. Guo Lin and the two Chang Sui rode horses on both sides.

Sui Qi felt that everything was novel, jumping back and forth in the carriage, and remembered the night when he was first taken back to the Marquis of Jiansheng Mansion by Feng Ran.

"Yun'er, are you pinching me?" Feng Ran was stunned.

"Madame, what are you doing here?" Yun'er ducked back, "Don't you dare, little one." ”

"I always think that all this in front of me is fake, are we all bitter?"

Yun'er lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked out, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the little ones will get better and better in the future, but Brother Jin and Guo Jiang are really back." They also brought back the money, and we're sure we'll get meat tonight!" ”
