39 Peony
Mr. Hong and his wife were lying on the bed after washing, and Mr. Hong's wife was in his arms, and his hands began to be dishonest.
Ruan Niang grabbed his moving hand and looked up at him: "Jiujiu went to the temple to see the child again today." Although she couldn't see clearly when the lights were out, she still wanted to look him in the eye and speak.
Master Hong was stunned when he heard this: "Why did you go again." "With what happened last time, he didn't react as much this time.
"Our family is very happy with wine, and that child is also a good one, and it is not easy." Ruan Niang sighed.
Master Hong touched his wife's hair: "It's a good boy, but the situation is unbearable, but he did send someone to protect our wine." ”
Ruan Niang leaned on her husband's arms, "So, then don't be restrained by drinking, the child is also her uncle according to his generation, and he likes wine very much, and the child also agrees to let him take the wine bar, if he is willing to teach himself, it would be good." ”
Master Hong sighed again: "But this kid, I don't know if we can protect the wine." You know the situation. ”
Ruan Niang said lightly, "I thought about it, I should have one more person to protect our daughter, is it simple for you to be that child, we are getting older and older, I think Ah Yun and they can succeed." ”
"Hey!" Master Hong sighed: "I don't know what Madame thinks, but we are just one precious daughter." ”
"That's my daughter, too." Ruan Niang pushed the red master.
"Yes! The lady is right, listen to the lady. Then we can't sit idly by this time. Master Hong hugged Ruan Niang tightly.
"We don't have anything to do with when." Ruan Niang whispered.
Old Man Hong's hand touched Ruan Niang's belt: "What Madam said is, then we should also sleep." ”
"What do you do when you sleep." Ruan Niang grabbed the arm of the red master.
Master Hong kissed his wife with a wicked smile: "Isn't this trying to fill in a younger brother for wine." As he spoke, he had already taken off his wife's undershirt after dividing it by two.
This night is a full moon and wings.
The next morning, I woke up refreshed.
The wine got up earlier today, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
"Miss, it's cold today, let's wear this white rabbit fur cloak." Qiu Ju held the rabbit fur cloak that she had just made a few days ago, and the snow-white rabbit fur had no trace of impurities.
Jiujiu looked at it and nodded: "Hmm." "Sit down.
At this time, Magnolia came in with a food box.
"Miss, the big kitchen also sent gold and white fungus soup today, and I made some crystal shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings." Magnolia said as she placed it on the table and took out a few side dishes.
"Well, the shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings made by Magnolia are the most delicious." Sakujiu blinked her round eyes cutely.
"Don't make fun of the slaves, Miss eat while it's hot." Magnolia said with a smile.
Qiu Ju also came over to serve and said with a smile: "Miss is not joking, now the big kitchen is not as good as yours." ”
Jiujiu took a spoon and drank a sip of golden bird's nest soup, which was smooth and glutinous and not very sweet, which was exactly the sweetness she liked.
She nodded with satisfaction and ate another shrimp dumpling, which was tender and juicy. "Well, Sister Qiu Ju is telling the truth."
"That's what slaves and maids are good at." Magnolia said with a smile.
"Haha." Qiu Ju smiled playfully.
I was in a good mood and ate more in the morning.
As soon as I sat down in the school, I saw Qingqing come in.
As soon as Qingqing sat down, she said to her, "Sister Qingqing, I found your kite." ”
Qingqing was very happy to hear it: "Really? She thought that the kite couldn't be found, and she didn't want to be embarrassed by the wine, so she didn't mention it, although she didn't say it, in fact, she still hoped that the kite would not be lost.
Jiujiu also nodded with a smile: "Well, I'll send it to you after school and lunch." ”
"Okay." Qingqing happily held the hand of the wine.
In the afternoon, he took a kite and took the pothos to Qingqing's house happily. Qingqing was also very happy to see her kite.
On the way home. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise on the side of the road.
Jiujiu lifted the sedan curtain, and saw an ugly-looking man dragging a thin body, beating and scolding.
"You stinky girl, I'll let you run, let you escape, I bought you with money!"
The thin body was a seven or eight-year-old child, dressed in coarse cloth with patches, hugging the man's thighs to minimize the gravity of the beating.
"How can there be such a person!" Pothos couldn't help but say angrily.
The people around also pointed their fingers, only some sighed and said that the child was pitiful, but no one dared to step forward to care.
Jiujiu frowned and couldn't bear it, just in time to see the child's firm and stubborn eyes when he looked up, although his face was dirty, his eyes were beautiful.
The expression on her face was indifferent, as if she was not beaten herself, but her eyes revealed stubbornness and tenacity.
She looked at the pothos's clenched fist and said, "Go ahead, she will buy it." ”
When Lu Luo heard this, she hurriedly looked at Jiujiu, her eyes full of surprise: "Yes, Miss." "Although the young lady is a simple and kind person, she is never a nosy person.
Luluo jumped out of the carriage, and saw Xiao Ci coming from nowhere and walking in front of the person who was still beating the child: "Stop." ”
The people around looked over, how can he be a child, or such a cute child,
The man raised his head and looked at Xiao Ci obscenely: "Hey, where did you get such a beautiful little doll, with fine skin and tender meat." It's okay with you, stay away, don't blame me for you! ”
He doesn't think this child is like a child from an ordinary family, if it is a child from an ordinary family, he wants to sell it around, and if this appearance is sold to a rich family, he can make a lot of money.
This is the green pothos also walked over: "Little resignation girl." ”
Xiao Ci listened and looked back: "Sister Luthos." After saying that, he looked behind him and saw the carriage of wine, and his heart was relieved.
"Yo, this is another nosyman." The man said lewdly.
The green pothos stepped forward to block Xiao Ci, and also blocked the man's obscene gaze.
She glanced at the man in front of her faintly: "I bought this child, how much does it cost?" ”
"Oh, you're going to buy her! If you are skinny, you can be cheaper, 10 taels of silver. The man said he shook it off and kicked the boy forward.
"Ten taels of silver! Who are you pitting? Normally, it doesn't cost five taels of silver to buy a servant! Xiao Ci said loudly when he heard it.
The pothos also glared at the person in front of her and helped the child up.
"Oh, it's too expensive, don't buy it if it's too expensive!" As he spoke, the man reached forward to grab the child.
Pothos reached out and grabbed the man's wrist. The man tried to move and found that he couldn't break free.
Pothos pushed forward, and the man fell backwards and took several steps back.
He didn't expect the teenage girl in front of him to be so powerful, and he didn't dare to move his wrist when he pinched it.
"You're a bully! In broad daylight. Xiao Ci said loudly.
Because this man is usually unreasonable and bullying, the people around him also echo him. "Look at this three, he's cheating people again."
"That's right! Isn't that bullying. ”
"With the tooth dealer, every time he raises the price!"
"Yes!"
The sound of everyone pointing and pointing was heard.
He was a little weak-hearted: "Five taels, the lowest is five taels, it can't be lower." ”
The pothos glanced in the direction of the sedan chair, and the wine nodded.
"Five taels is okay, give you five taels, and bring her deed of sale." Pothos took out the silver from her purse.
Zhang San took out the deed of betrayal from his arms, handed it over, and took the silver: "This dead girl is for you!" ”
After saying that, he spat on the ground.
"Let's go, let's go." The green pothos didn't even look at him, just glanced at Xiao Ci and pulled the child to the sedan chair, and Xiao Ci followed.
The people around saw that the protagonist was gone, and they all dispersed.
Xiao Ci jumped into the carriage neatly: "Jiujiu, you bought this dirty girl." ”
Jiujiu saw Xiao Ci from afar, but he didn't expect him to be so fast: "Don't you also want to help her." ”
"Hehe, I can't buy her when I see the road and draw a knife." Xiao Ci leaned over to the wine again.
"Miss." As she spoke, she also entered the sedan chair, holding the girl she bought.
She didn't say a word from beginning to end, lowered her head, and was neither humble nor arrogant beside the pothos.
"Look up." Jiujiu looked at the girl.
She looked up at the wine, "Thank you, miss." "The eyes are clear and distinct.
Xiao Ci also looked at it himself: "This, if it weren't for the trafficker who said, I wouldn't have known it was a girl, haha." ”
Jiujiu glared at him, and he dared to stop laughing.
"How old are you, and who else is in the family?" Jiujiu looked at her and said lightly.
"When I was ten years old, my mother was sick and angry because my father gambled money, and after my mother died, my father sold me in order to pay off gambling debts." She whispered with her head down.
"How can there be such a person, you are ten years old, you see that your arms are so thin, I thought you were only seven or eight years old." Pothos couldn't help but raise the hand that was holding her arm.
"Yes! I thought you were only seven or eight years old. Xiao Ci also shook his head and said.
Jiujiu also nodded: "Sister Luthos, wipe her face with a face towel, if you want to be a maid with me in the future" As she spoke, she opened the secret compartment in the carriage and took out the face towel and handed it to Luthos. "If you don't want to, I can give you some silver taels, and you can leave."
After hearing this, the girl looked up at the wine, knelt down and choked up, "I am willing to follow Miss, thank Miss for saving her life." ”
"Hurry up." Jiujiu looked at her determined and moving gaze. His eyes were filled with gratitude. Pothos also pulled her up by the way.
"Tsk." Xiao Ci couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
"What's your name?" The wine then spoke.
She shook her head: "I don't have a name, my father and mother used to call me at home, please give me a new name." ”
Jiujiu looked at her with pity in his eyes, thought about it and said, "Okay." ”
"From now on, you will be called Peony, but you know that since you choose to follow me, you are not allowed to have two hearts."
"Well, thank you Miss for the name, the slave understands." Peony knelt down again, kowtowed twice, and choked.
Jiujiu nodded, and the pothos immediately helped her up with pity.
"Don't say it, although the face is yellow and thin, these eyes are pretty good." Xiao Ci looked at the peony that wiped his face clean.
"If you raise it, you should also be a beautiful embryo." Pothos put down the face towel in her hand and laughed.
Jiujiu also nodded, it was because of the firmness and silence in these eyes that touched her that she would buy her.
Peony lowered her head shyly when she heard this.
Peony is very grateful at this moment, and she is also determined to repay her kindness in this life.
