Chapter 266: Adopted Children
"Uncle Xiong asked you to give me something, and how do you know that I am the person your grandfather told you to wait for?"
"Because I have a portrait of my sister. The little girl said and took out the crumpled rice paper from her arms and spread it out in front of a few people, which was what Qin Muyao used to be.
"Cherish the flowers, let her come. Qin Muyao beckoned to the little girl.
"Yao'er. Be careful, I haven't met her, and I haven't heard of any other granddaughters. Xiuxiu's voice was not loud or small, and she deliberately let the little girl hear it.
The little girl pouted, glanced at Xiuxiu, and saluted: "You are the lady of the Fang family, we all know you." Because we went to see it secretly, Grandpa didn't allow us to enter the Fang Mansion. ”
"You?" Xiuxiu looked at the little girl, a little puzzled.
"Hmm. I have eight sisters. We would take turns to come here every day, just to fulfill my grandfather's last wish, but I didn't expect to be bumped into. The little girl looked up, clasped her hands, and put them on her chest, as if she was happy to fulfill the last wish of the male uncle.
"Are you the children adopted by Uncle Xiong?" Qin Muyao heard the rough idea, and squatted down to give the little girl sideburns.
"Grandpa said we were all his own granddaughters. The little girl looked unconvinced.
"Show me, what Uncle Xiong asked you to give me. Qin Muyao stretched out her hands at the little girl, looking at the little girl's cute little face, she really wanted to pinch two handfuls.
"Wow. That's it. The little girl took out a small bamboo tube from her arms and put it in Qin Muyao's hand, Qin Muyao could still feel the residual warmth of the little girl.
Qin Muyao didn't look at it, carefully put it away, and dragged the little girl who was about to leave back: "Uncle Xiong is gone, what do you live on?"
"Many, many, so many, we can do the laundry, wash the dishes, etc. The little girl's innocent eyes make people feel distressed to watch.
"What about Xiongbo's children, don't you live with them?" Xiuxiu also asked.
"Grandpa only had us. "The little girl doesn't have time to grieve, because she still has to think about life.
Qin Muyao and Xiuxiu glanced at each other, the two had a different tacit understanding, and they both had the same idea.
"Little girl, if you are asked to go with your sister, are you willing?" Qin Muyao took the little girl's hand.
"No, I'm going to stay with my sister. ”
"Even if you don't have to do dirty work in the future, you don't want to eat well, dress well, and live well?" Xiuxiu and Qin Muyao began to cooperate.
The little girl's heart moved, the firmness in her eyes wavered, and then she shook her head: "No, I want to be with my sisters." ”
Xiuxiu rubbed the little girl's hair, and the little girl shrank her head.
"Let's go, will you take us to your sister?" Qin Muyao began to coax, afraid that she would think she was a bad person, "Sister will take you to eat delicious food, and you won't have to wash other people's clothes in the future." ”
"Yes, yes. The little girl smiled, two small dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks, and her eyes narrowed, "Sister, I'll take you there." Pulling Qin Muyao and Xiuxiu's fingers, he walked in front.
"Silly boy. Just as if we were your own sister. Qin Muyao wiped her tears and said lovingly.
"Sister. The fawn smiled happily and screamed sweetly at the two.
I still followed the direction pointed by the deer and came to the row of small houses on the edge of the imperial capital.
From time to time, people who passed by pointed at the carriage and bowed their heads and whispered, not knowing which noble person it was.
The fawn ran in front, and the group walked behind, followed by more than a dozen guards, looking so domineering.
Turn left and right, and watch the fawn run into a small house. Qin Muyao and the others are now waiting at the door.
"Little. Where are you going to be lazy again?" heard a shrill scolding sound through the door, accompanied by the deer's cry of pain.
Qin Muyao made a look, cherished the flowers, and stepped forward to knock on the half-open Mu door.
"Who!" Hearing this, I only felt that my ears were fried, and a woman wrapped in a headscarf, about one meter five tall, and slightly chubby opened the door rudely.
Seeing Xihua, she was stunned for a while, and her attitude became gentle: "Who is the girl looking for?"
"My wife is here to find you. Xihua smiled politely.
At this time, the woman saw Qin Muyao and the others blocked by the door, and she was shocked, and she couldn't help but panic, she didn't offend anyone?
"Auntie, we just want to ask, are there any little girls you have here?" Qin Muyao has always been gentle, and Xiuxiu coaxed the child on the side.
The woman nodded in a daze, looking at the two noble people with a pair of godless eyes, unable to put on a shelf.
"Can you let us go in and have a look?" Still have to be polite, Qin Muyao asked the woman.
"Two ladies, please. The woman didn't dare to refuse, she didn't know the identities of the two, and she couldn't afford to provoke them.
The two of them held the child and went in with their personal maids, and Changxu waited at the door with the escort carriage.
"I wonder what happened to Madame's sudden arrival?" the woman walked sideways in front of her, her waist bent unconsciously.
"We want to talk to my aunt about a business. Qin Muyao didn't shy away from it, they came here for this.
The room is not big, and when you turn a corner through the door, you can see eight children squatting on the ground washing clothes, and a deer squatting in the corner, pulling at their ears with a look of grievance.
Xiaolu pounced when she saw Qin Muyao and Xiuxiu, and screamed aggrievedly: "Sister." ”
"Little, how can you hold Madame? Loosen up, don't dirty Madame's clothes. As she spoke, she came up and pulled the fawn's arm. Love Net
Qin Muyao gave her a displeased look, and asked her to stop.
"Little Deer ......" The eight children who were squatting and washing clothes looked at the movements of the deer in a daze, a little surprised, they all saw Qin Muyao's portrait, but they could also recognize it.
"Are you willing to come with me? It can be regarded as fulfilling Xiongbo's wish to take good care of you. Qin Muyao asked them, very sincerely.
The eldest of the little girls is only thirteen or fourteen years old, you look at me, I look at you, I can't make up my mind.
"Sister will be good to us. The deer took Qin Muyao's hand.
The woman snorted lightly for a moment or two, as if she was unhappy in her heart: "Two women, these children are washing clothes and changing food at my place, if they are taken away by you like this, I am not ......"
"Cherish the flowers. "Qin Muyao doesn't like this woman, she is greedy for money and has a bad heart.
Xihua took out a money bag containing two hundred taels of silver and handed it to the woman: "Is there enough money here?"
The woman carried the heavy money bag and smiled so much that her facial features wrinkled together: "Enough is enough." ”
Then he looked at the little girl who was squatting on the ground and didn't move, but she didn't dare to scold again: "Get up and wipe your hands and follow Madame." Hurry up, don't be in my yard!"
The eldest of them said, "But the clothes are not yet washed." What about our dinner?"
"Let's go. The woman had long wanted to go back to the house and count the silver, which she had never seen in all her years.
"Hurry up. The fawn ran up and dragged them up, and said one by one, "Let's go......
Everyone was puzzled, and was pushed by the fawn to follow behind Xihua.
Changxu was also careful, and sent someone to find three carriages, although they were far less than the carriages from the palace and the Fang mansion, but they were also unaffordable for ordinary people.
Several girls shirked each other, and none of them wanted to go up first, for fear that they would think the same as the fawn.
"Before leaving, I want to ask if you want to go with us, and if not, don't force it. Qin Muyao spoke more intimidating and convincing, "Come with me, you don't have to worry about not having enough food and clothing in the future." If you are worried about anything, you can go and see it first, if you like it, you can stay, if you don't like it, you can come out, it's the same, I won't force you. I also grew up watching your grandfather grow up. ”
"I'll go. Xiaolu was the first to raise her hand, looking at Qin Muyao and smirking, "I believe in my sister." ”
The fawn climbed into the carriage and beckoned to her little sisters, several little girls hesitated for a long time before they climbed into the carriage one by one, and the eldest child stood for a long time, glanced at Qin Muyao, and still climbed up.
"Let's go, go home. Qin Muyao looked at Xiuxiu and smiled happily, as if she had just completed a big event. Xiuxiu looked at Qin Muyao and laughed along, the two of them knew what they were thinking.
Xiongbo's monthly routine is not much, it is all stipulated by himself, he is there, and he can also ensure the food and clothing of several children, he is gone, and the children can only be self-reliant.
When she arrived at the gate of Fangfu, Qin Muyao hadn't spoken yet, Xiuxiu spoke first: "I know these children that you won't put here with me, you can take them back to settle down first." You don't have to worry about me here. ”
"No, I can't. I'll let Xihua take them back. ”
"Why don't you even believe me?" Xiuxiu pretended to be angry, "Go quickly, or I'll be really angry." ”
"Okay, I'll come back later that night. ”
"Hmm. Xiuxiu knew Qin Muyao's temper, the child beckoned to Qin Muyao, and Qin Muyao pulled his little hand on it, "Come and see you little cutie in the evening." ”
"Babble. The child screamed, as if answering Qin Muyao.
Qin Muyao was reluctant to say goodbye, and returned to the palace with the child with Xihua Changxu.
"Yes. Chang Xu made a gesture and dragged back the cherished flowers who wanted to follow, "Where are you going?"
Xihua wanted to refute, but looking at the child's helpless appearance, she took a step: "Don't be afraid, the princess is very good." Let's go, I'll take you to your room, take you to get your clothes, and call me sister later. ”
"Call me brother. Changxu followed behind, patting his chest, but his eyes couldn't leave the flowers.
"It's so thick-skinned. "Cherish the flowers and don't forget to hit Changxu.
Several children were amused by the two, and the tension in their hearts was relieved a little, but they still didn't dare to laugh.
Cheng Lianjin pulled Qin Muyao into the house, sat on a chair, and pulled Qin Muyao over to let her sit on his lap.
"Hee-hee. Qin Muyao laughed out loud and hugged Cheng Lianjin's neck, "Can it be done?"
"Well, Yun'er's father will approve the marriage between Yun'er and your brother. Cheng Lianjin looked up at Qin Muyao, lightly opened his thin lips, and touched his cheek, "Give me a reward." ”
"Ahh Qin Muyao leaned in and kissed it, praising her: "My husband is the best." ”
"That's it. Cheng Lianjin was not modest, "What about you?"
"With eyebrows, I have to go there again in the evening, and call Yuan Zhen and Sangsang. ”
"You forgot about someone. ”
"Who?"
"Your husband. ”
Qin Muyao pinched Cheng Lianjin's face with a bright smile.
With such a happy smile, he shook his eyes, and he stood on the roof opposite the two, looking at the love between the two, and his heart became bored.
Cheng Lianjin smiled proudly in the direction of weeping, but there was endless killing and hatred in his eyes.
