He knew very well what Tang Jing wanted to do when he went to the West Ear Room, but he was vague about the uninvited guests at home, whether it was Hai Rui or Tang Jing, so she wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhu Hui.

Zhu Hui knew a little about Luo Amin's situation, so he told He that they were the daughters of Luo Wenlong, a prisoner of the imperial court, and that when the current saint was the crown prince, Luo Amin had been a companion to the princess in the prince's mansion, and after the incident of his father's east window, she and her sister went overseas and married the pirate leader Lin Feng.

He is a smart person in Bingxue, and from these concise words, it can be heard that Luo Amin's identity is extremely special, no wonder Hai Rui wants to keep them in private here, and asks the Tang family to keep it strictly secret, and even sends officials to patrol around the mansion.

"Hui'er, Qingyang, I want to ask, if you want to keep the secrets in the house, which one needs to be guarded against the most?" Ho asked.

"I'm afraid that the maids and servants in the house have to be on guard." Zhu Hui replied.

He Shi smiled slightly, looked at Qingyang, and said softly: "Virtuous nephew, you can talk about it." ”

"Auntie's kindness is immeasurable, and everyone in the house is grateful to Auntie and obedient, in fact, it is enough to beware of only one person." Qing Yang replied.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you must always be on guard against her!" The two of you, who usually guard this northwest corner courtyard, also help me keep an eye on the study, as long as that Yue'er enters, you will quickly notify me, understand? ”

"Please rest assured, Auntie." Zhu Hui and Qing Yang replied in unison.

He Shi continued: "I heard that the old housekeeper Tang Cheng and others all went to Taicang Huangdu Port, and I know that I have a place where I can't live with them. But I have always treated my subordinates well, and when Xu Kun forced them to return to their hometown, I gave them a lot of silver in private. You see, now in this empty deep house compound, there is not even a man, there is heavy work at home, I don't know who to find to do it, I am going to send Wanxi to Taicang, and call these old family members back. ”

When Qingyang heard that she was going to send her sister to Taicang, she begged: "Auntie, I originally wanted my sister to go back to her hometown and inform her parents about the removal of slavery, and by the way, I invited my parents to come to Nanjing and let them meet Zhu Gongzi." In that case, we have to wait. ”

In the past, the He family had said that he would give Tang Qiong to Zhu Hui, but it was just to buy people's hearts, of course, Zhu Hui never took it seriously, and now that he and Qingyang have cooked raw rice, taking this opportunity, Zhu Hui hurriedly said: "Please aunt to be our matchmaker." ”

"Auntie, you are as kind to our Lan family sisters, but in Zhongli's hometown, the Tang family still treats us as house slaves, to be honest, before, my sister and I didn't think about these problems, but now when I think about it, my heart is like a knife, and I feel that I am not worthy of Zhu Gongzi......"

Finding that Qingyang's eyes were red, He Shi took her hand and said emotionally: "Okay, I'll be a matchmaker for you." The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. Don't be as useless as your aunt, once you fall down, let others bully. Qingyang, in the future, our family still doesn't know how many ups and downs we will encounter, and my aunt will still count on you to turn the tide in the future. ”

"Auntie, could it be that these two guests will cause trouble for our family?" Qing Yang asked.

"I wonder how long these poor sisters will live in our house? Therefore, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with them, Zhu Hui, help me open the iron gate of the corner courtyard later, and I will meet this legendary woman alone for a while. ”

When the two of them were enjoying the coolness, they vaguely heard someone making a lot of noise outside the door, and listened attentively, it seemed that the hostess drove Tang Jing away.

When Luo Amin was in the inn, he already understood that Tang Jing had been robbed for six years and became a family ugly, and he was still gloating and watching his jokes, but he didn't expect that he was guarded in the Tang family, if Tang Jing didn't find something, it would be strange! I can't help but sigh for my fate.

Ah Ping found that her sister's expression was very painful, thinking that the pregnant woman was not adaptable, and asked softly, "Sister, is today's meal to your liking?"

"It doesn't matter what you eat. Ah Ping, you have to remember that if my sister hadn't been for you, she wouldn't have fallen to this point today, and now, waiting for our fate, we don't know what it is, we have to find a way to escape. Luo Amin replied.

"Sister, I remember when my father sent us to Qiumepu, he let us live in Brother Wen Tao's house, I know, Brother Wen Tao likes you very much, and you also said that you like him, but you married his brother, I really can't figure it out......"

Before Ah Ping finished speaking, Luo Amin sighed and replied: "Don't say it, sister, you are thirteen years old this year, if you stay in the countryside, you have reached the age of marriage, my sister can't help but think about your future, if possible, after the child is born, let them send you and the baby back to Ryukyu, and don't suffer with me anymore." ”

"Sister, I can't leave you no matter what!"

"No, Ah Ping, my life is over! Our father, and your brother-in-law, they exchanged their lives for a huge amount of wealth, and you and the fetus in the womb are rightful heirs, you know? Never be cheaper than others! ”

"Sister, don't say it again, no matter what, our sisters share blessings and hardships, this generation will never give up, and we will die together."

"Sister, there are many things you don't understand, do you know why Xu Ling'er and Guo Yi didn't take us back to the capital?"

"I'm afraid that the emperor will know that you are back, and he still remembers you."

"Good sister, listen to me, sister is afraid that it will affect you, as long as you are not by my side, I have a way to do something earth-shattering, I must let King Yu know that I am back......"

At this time, Zhu Hui opened the iron gate of the corner courtyard, and the Luo sisters, who were sitting under the tree to enjoy the coolness, screamed loudly in fright, and happened to be heard by Yue'er, who was greeting Tang's mother.

He Shi was afraid that they would make a bigger noise, so he didn't dare to break in, stood at the door and said: "Two young ladies, please don't worry, I am the mistress of this mansion He Shi......" Before she finished speaking, Yue'er took a step ahead of her and broke into the northwest corner courtyard.

Zhu Hui and Qing Yang suddenly became very flustered, and the two rushed forward and put Yue'er out, Yue'er began to make a big noise, scaring the Luo sisters and running back to the room.

Such a big movement alarmed Mother Tang, who lived not far away, and walked out with her three little grandsons, wanting to see what was going on?

He was worried and frightened her mother-in-law, and gave her a blessing outside the gate of the corner courtyard, and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is not filial, and I accidentally alarmed you, please forgive me." ”

Before the old lady could answer, her little grandchildren took advantage of Zhu Hui's closing the door and recklessly slipped in, and Qing Yang hurriedly let go of Yue'er and chased in to catch the three children.

"Sister Qingyang, I want to see what the vixen looks like?" The ignorant Tang Yao preached with a small face, and Tang Qiong was already sensible, so she hurriedly covered her sister's mouth.

At this time, Yue'er ignored Zhu Hui's obstruction, forcibly broke into the northwest corner courtyard, and said with a smile: "Yaoyao, come, my aunt will take you to see what the fox spirit looks like." With that, he picked up Tang Yao and walked towards the Luo sisters' bedroom.

He was shocked and hurriedly ordered Qing Yang and Zhu Hui to stop them.

After all, Qingyang was invited back from her hometown by Yue'er, so she didn't want to be rude to her, so she stood outside the door of the Luo sisters and persuaded: "Sister Yue'er, please don't embarrass me. ”

"Daughter-in-law, don't panic, under the blue sky and white sun, how can there be any fox spirits? To be honest, on the way back from overseas, there were two pregnant women who walked with us, all thanks to the help of Miss Aping, and I didn't have time to thank them. Qingyang, go back, there is an old body here, and the sky can't fall. ”

Qing Yang hurriedly lowered his head, glanced at the He family secretly, and replied, "Ancestor, it's too late......

He knew that Qing Yang was waiting for his attitude, so he smiled slightly and said, "Qing Yang, Zhu Hui, you go out, just take care of the children outside the door." ”

Qing Yang was very obedient and walked away silently with the children, Tang Jing's mother shook her head gently, secretly admiring her daughter-in-law He's methods.

Yue'er heard that the uninvited guests at home actually alarmed Lord Yingtian Inspector Fuhai, and asked Tang Jing to inquire, but he refused to say anything, knowing that they had extraordinary origins, and he was going to find out tonight.

Yue'er, who always wanted to compete with the He family, gave Mother Tang a blessing and provoked: "Ancestor, it seems that the sisters of the Lan family are no longer obedient. ”

Tang Jing's mother is not confused, she knows that the fate of the whole family is in the hands of Hai Rui and Jin Yiwei, and this Yue'er, who does not know the height of the sky, is always a hidden danger, it is better to let her understand thoroughly, the two guests cannot be provoked, so as not to arouse her curiosity in the future, and suppress her arrogance by the way.

Thinking of this, Mother Tang said to the He family: "Daughter-in-law, you have done the right thing by removing the slavery of the Lan family sisters!" We can't treat people like this anymore, and the old man heard that after they went to slavery, they still sacrificed their lives to protect their lord in front of the governor's yamen, and their loyalty has not changed at all. ”

Yue'er understood that this was for herself, and cast a jealous glance at He.

Tang Jing's mother took He and Yue'er into the Luo sisters' room together, only to see Luo Amin lying on the bed panting, and Yue'er saw at a glance that she was about to give birth.

Ah Ping gave up her seat to the three of them, stepped forward to say a blessing, and greeted: "Slave Ah Ping to meet grandma and meet the two ladies." ”

"Ah Ping, it is fate that we can come back together, your sisters are homeless after returning to China, and they live here for the time being, the old body is very pleased, I hope you will treat this place as your own home, and you don't have to be polite with the old body. This is my daughter-in-law He Shi, this girl is Miss Yue'er, the housekeeper in the house, don't be mistaken. Amin is about to give birth, and there can't be no one around, so in the future, my daughter-in-law and grandson Qingyang will be responsible for taking care of you. ”

Ah Ping realized that she had said the wrong thing just now, and she gave He and Yue'er a new salute, and helped her sister down from the bed.

Luo Amin got up to greet the old lady, and said weakly: "Thanks to Grandma's grace, we have finally returned to our hometown after a lot of hard work, if it weren't for Grandma and Madame taking us in, I'm afraid we two sisters would still be living on the streets......"

Mrs. He wanted to persuade a few words, but because she knew her details, her mood at the moment was also very complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Yue'er took the first step, hugged Luo Amin, and asked, "May I ask where is your hometown?" Who else is in the family? As he spoke, he wiped the tears from her face with his cuffs

The Luo sisters looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, Mrs. He watched Yue'er's performance, and the disgust in her heart was overflowing.

"Daughter-in-law, Yue'er girl, the old body will tell you now, if it weren't for Sister Aping's help, the old body would not have escaped from the pirate's den, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy, these two are our benefactors, do you understand?" After asking this sentence, Tang Mu noticed that the He family was nodding and listening, and Yue'er shook her head at the Luo sisters with a questioning look.

So, Tang Mu continued: "Their sisters came from a wealthy merchant family, and in the early years, the imperial court forbade the sea, and their family was persecuted by the government because they went to sea to do business, and the merchant ship was unfortunately shipwrecked, and there was no one in their hometown, and now only the two sisters survived, so they went overseas." ”

Yue'er didn't believe it, gently touched Luo Amin's belly, and asked, "Why didn't your family officials come back together?" ”

"What a mouthful!" Mother Tang reprimanded: "Miss Yue'er, as the housekeeper in the house, I really don't know which pot, which pot is not opened, if Miss Amin's husband is still alive, can you not come back together?" ”

At this time, Yue'er looked very embarrassed, and replied quite ashamedly: "What the ancestor taught is that as soon as the old housekeeper Tang Cheng comes back, the slave and maid will let Xian, as the saying goes, women are in charge, and there is a lot of uproar!" In the future, the slave and maid will serve the ancestors full-time, and they will be a messenger by the ancestors' side in this life. ”

Of course, He Shi understood the meaning of her words, and now he didn't bother to pay attention to her, helped Luo Amin to the bedside, and said, "It's not early today, you guys rest early, and I'll come to visit you again tomorrow." ”

"Yue'er, the old body knows that a few days ago, you helped the family a lot, and our family thank you! Take this opportunity, the old body advises you a few words, Jing'er's temperament has changed greatly after he comes back, this family really can't let him be, in the future, everything will be subject to Mrs. He's arrangement, do you understand? ”

"Mother, let's go back too." Ho persuaded.

The Luo sisters understood that since they lived in Tangfu, they would have to listen to Mrs. He's orders in the future, but this Yue'er was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so they expressed their gratitude to the old lady and He's, and complimented Yue'er a few words, and sent them out of the corner courtyard.

He returned to the East Wing and waited for Tang Jing to spend the night, but he did not come back.
