Taking advantage of the opportunity of Hai Rui's unannounced visit to his home, He handed over the paper, because Han Xiaoyu's hometown is in Pei County, which belongs to the ancient Pengcheng (Xuzhou) boundary, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, it was assigned to Jining Prefecture, and Pengcheng was under the jurisdiction of Defu, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Pengcheng and Pei County were assigned to Zhili Prefecture, Yongle 19 years, Ming Chengzu changed Jingshi to Nanjing, Zhili Prefecture was renamed Nanzhili, and now Pei County is under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture, and is not under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yingtian.

But with Hai Rui's prestige, he avenged Xiaoyu, and the Fengyang prefect attached great importance to it, because the case was not complicated, he quickly grasped the fact that the county order had framed him, and Han Xiaoyu's parents were rehabilitated, but they both died of illness on the way to the army.

After learning the news, Han Xiaoyu was so grief-stricken that she didn't even know where to find the bones of her parents, and now that the home is gone, in order to thank Mrs. He, she decided to stay and help with the housework, and she was conscientious, acting as a housekeeper, and getting along with everyone very well.

Now that the New Year is approaching, He knows that Luo Amin is about to give birth, although he has already sent Yue'er back to his hometown, he is still worried about the maid at home, afraid that someone will secretly make it bad.

In the early morning of that day, He sent away his two daughters and called Han Xiaoyu into the east wing.

"Have you figured out what happened to Luo Amin last time, what was the medicine he was given?"

Buying vegetables, lighting fires, and cooking soup, among a group of girls, it is not easy to determine who it is, neither can they interrogate with great fanfare, but they do not want to wronged good people, Han Xiaoyu has investigated for a long time, but there is no verdict, but fortunately, there has been no accident since then.

Now, listening to He ask about it, she is quite embarrassed.

"Madam, to be honest, I—I'm really stupid, it seems that I'm not fit to be a housekeeper......"

"Hehe, it's really hard for you, I treat you as a confidant, and you are the housekeeper! I won't hide it from you, Xiaoyu, you know that Tang Cheng, the old housekeeper in the house, has come back a long time ago, but he was sent to Huangdu Port in Taicang, do you understand why? ”

Han Xiaoyu knew a little about the anecdotes of the Tang family, but she never took the initiative to inquire, and when she heard He ask, she hurriedly shook her head.

"Madam, it's not that I don't want to help you, the slave and maid do have difficulties, if I come to be a housekeeper, one of the slaves and maids is too young, inexperienced, difficult to convince the public, and has no scheming, so they may not be able to manage the house well; Besides, Wanxi and Qingyang sisters are very taboo about slaves and maids, and the reason must be very clear to Mrs. Niang, they are always wary of me at home, and now, the slaves and maids have worshiped Elder Yuekong as a teacher, hoping to learn some martial arts, walk the rivers and lakes, and help the house do a good job in the future, in order to repay Mrs. for knowing people. ”

"Xiaoyu, you still don't understand my thoughts, if the old housekeeper Tang Cheng and the others come back, I, I really won't have the face to see people anymore......"

Although Han Xiaoyu deliberately avoided this topic, He had to face it, and began to sobbed quietly......

Han Xiaoyu understood her difficulties very well, and comforted: "Please don't be sad, madam, the master is not a fool, going to sea to do business is not a matter of one or two people, as for how to arrange it in the future, the slave and maid will definitely take care of the overall situation." ”

"Tang Cheng and the others may not be willing to come back to see me, and there can't be no housekeeper at home, if you invite someone from outside, I don't feel at ease, how can this be good?"

"With Zhu Gongzi and the Lan sisters at home, it will be fine."

Until now, the He family didn't know that the remaining 300,000 taels of silver were transported to Huangdu Port in Taicang by Tang Jing, and he mistakenly thought that he only had 100,000 taels of silver to sell the old house, and he was very careful about his life.

To start the business, 100,000 taels of silver is far from enough, for this reason, she secretly looked for Pang Shangpeng, hoping to borrow some money from Xingji Money Village in the spring of the next year, Pang Shangpeng agreed very happily, but she didn't dare to let Tang Jing know.

Since Master Yuekong came to Nanjing, Tang Jing has completely changed his mind, and every time he goes out to contact the source of goods and comes back, he always tells He how he is reluctant to eat and drink, which makes her very uncomfortable.

In view of this reality, Ho did not hide it at all.

"Tang Cheng asked someone to send a letter, the big ship is about to test the water, but our family doesn't even have 100,000 taels of silver, so we have to save some flowers; When the New Year is over, pay off the wages of shipbuilding, at least more than 40,000 taels of silver, and then rent a cheaper warehouse, maybe a few thousand taels, to everyone to send some New Year's money, but also to keep some money, the family will have no money, I really hope that next spring, you go overseas for a trip, earn more silver back, I burn incense for you every day to worship the Buddha, pray for the Buddha and ancestors to bless. ”

Although Han Xiaoyu is not interested in business, she has envied Dou Xianniang and Red Whisk Girl since she was a child, and after learning that her parents died, she was even more determined to become a monk, hoping to worship Elder Yuekong as a teacher in the future and follow the merchant ships to walk the rivers and lakes.

"The slave maid is dull, but he can still help a little, there are Wanxi and Qingyang at home to take care of the house, and there are slaves and maids outside to assist the Moon Sky Mage, please rest assured."

He is very reluctant, this girl is very simple, diligent, literate, and proficient in medical skills, she is a rare good helper.

"I'll discuss it with the Lan sisters to see if they are willing to go to sea to do business in the future, you better stay at home and help me."

"Please Mrs. take a look at the big feet of the slave maid, although it is not as good as the ability of the Lan sisters, I have learned some kung fu since I was a child, the slave and the maid respect the order of Mrs., go to Qiyan Temple to invite the elder of the moon sky, and the elder said that I am the fate of the bumpy and displaced, so I accepted the slave and maid as an apprentice, not looking for an excuse."

He Shi looked at her big feet and found that although she was born weak, she had a resolute image, and knew that she could not be saved.

"Don't be in a hurry to go to Taicang with them first, Luo Amin is about to give birth, and I can't invite a midwife from outside, I don't have to worry about you at home."

Han Xiaoyu had no choice but to agree and stay and wait for Amin to deliver the baby; Then, He arranged for Tang Jing and Zhu Hui to go to Taicang to visit their old family before the New Year with 50,000 taels of silver.

Tang Jing knew the loyalty of these old people, and the reason why he sold the old mansion with an iron heart and was reluctant to see them was because the He family was humiliating and immoral, causing him to have no face to see people, and he originally planned to divorce the He family and marry a new love, but because he was responsible for taking care of the Luo sisters, the He family had Hai Rui to call the shots for her, and the title deeds were also mortgaged in the Yamen of Yingtian Governor, although he couldn't swallow this breath, he could only accept this reality helplessly.

Now, Yue'er is crazy and uncertain about her life and death; Wanxi and Qingyang were removed from slavery, and the newcomer Han Xiaoyu worshipped Elder Yuekong as a teacher, and he couldn't afford to provoke him; As a last resort, Tang Jing wanted to buy a house in Taicang for the gold house to hide Jiaojiao, and in the future, in the name of doing business, he would stay in Huangdu Port for a long time and not leave.

Tang Cheng and others rented a house in Huangdu Town, the family members of more than a dozen old families, all in Haozhou's hometown, at that time, when Yue'er called them from their hometown, once said that without her letter, they were not allowed to return to Nanjing without permission, nor did they return to their hometown for no reason, seeing the New Year, they didn't know where to spend the New Year? Every day, I look forward to Yue'er's letter.

Because they are usually very thrifty, it is time for the New Year, Tang Cheng went to the town to buy meat, carrying a big pork leg, as soon as he came out of the butcher shop, he suddenly found two men and a woman in a hurry, how the woman looked like Yue'er, and he was very puzzled.

So, he tentatively shouted: "Miss Yue'er, Miss Yue'er, is it you?" ”

As soon as Yue'er turned around, she saw that it was Tang Cheng, and hurriedly got rid of the two men beside her, and ran back to him crying bitterly.

At this time, the two juniors tried to stop it, but they heard Tang Cheng roar angrily......

"You two traffickers, see if I don't send you to the government!" As he spoke, he picked up the pig's leg and smashed it.

A junior hurriedly saluted and asked, "So, you are Tang Jing and Tang Daguan?" ”

Tang Cheng ignored it and came to Yue'er with a puzzled face.

"Girl, what the hell is going on?"

Another descendant replied: "Don't be surprised by Tang Daguan, Miss Yue'er scared Wu Xiangzi crazy, and invited Langzhong to treat the two of them, Wu Gongzi was not cured, but cured Miss Yue'er, our shopkeeper Chen asked about the situation, and learned that she was coming to Taicang, so he sent us to send her." ”

Tang Cheng didn't even understand half of the sentence, but he was relieved to see that these two descendants had no malicious intent.

"I see."

These two juniors felt that the one in front of them didn't look like a rich shopkeeper, and they were still counting on some rewards, which was quite disappointed.

"Tang Daguan, we sent the Yue'er girl safely, can you give a reward for this New Year's ......?"

"I'm not a Tang official, I'm Tang Cheng, the housekeeper of Tang Mansion, just hand over Miss Yue'er to me, if you dare to say more, I will take you into the official mansion as a human trafficker!"

Old Tang Cheng said, picked up the pig's leg and smashed it, Yue'er saw this and hurriedly persuaded him......

"Thank you two escorts, you can go back to restore your life to Shopkeeper Chen, and the slave family will definitely repay your kindness."

They had no choice but to leave Yue'er behind and hand over Chen Yuanhua's letter to Tang Cheng, and then left Taicang Huangdu Port in a huff.

On the way home, Yue'er recounted her "bizarre" experience......

It turned out that Huang Bingwen abandoned her in Ningbo, and after Langzhong's acupuncture treatment, Wu Xiang was not cured, but after more than an hour, she was cured. In the evening, after Xuande Zhenren finished doing the rituals, Chen Yuanhua found that she was already conscious, so he brought her for interrogation, and found that she didn't know anything about it, so Chen Yuanhua couldn't do anything, so in order to make friends with Tang Jing, he was ready to send her back to Nanjing.

Yue'er didn't dare to go back to Tangfu again, so she asked Chen Yuanhua to send her to Taicang, she believed that Tang Cheng and the others would definitely protect her.

With Luo Amin's stand-in, Chen Yuanhua was determined to cooperate with Xuande Zhenren, and wanted to send Zhang Min'er to Emperor Longqing, so as to get himself an official position, he really didn't want to continue to deal with pirates, but fortunately, now that Lin Feng is dead, the new leader Ma Wuwhip, who is far away in Ryukyu, can just take this opportunity to befriend Tang Jing, whether it is for the government or pirates in the future, it is a good shield.

Having made up his mind in his heart, Chen Yuanhua no longer hesitated, wrote a letter to Tang Jing, and the next day, he sent these two juniors to send Yue'er.

As soon as Tang Cheng entered the courtyard door with a big pork leg on his shoulder, he heard the bustle in the house.

"Who's coming?"

Tang Jing greeted him with a smile......

"Uncle, hard work!"

The master and servant hadn't seen each other for seven years, and when they heard this familiar voice, Tang Cheng burst into tears, put the pig's leg on the side, and collapsed to the ground at once......

At this time, like a ghost, Yue'er suddenly rushed over and hugged Tang Jing......

Tang Jing's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted "There is a ghost", and fell to the ground......
