Zeng Rong's matter, Xu Fushan listened to what his wife said, he was not surprised that Zeng Rong's sisters could use herbs to treat Xu Jing, the countryman knew a little bit about how to save himself, he was curious, why did this girl take the initiative to enter Beijing, what were her intentions for the Xu family?

He didn't believe Zeng Rong's statement that he was making money to support his family, and the Xu family gave the Zeng family forty taels of silver in one go, which was enough to buy several acres of land, and a female baby, where could she not earn money by doing embroidery work, why did she have to leave her family and business and come all the way to the capital?

A country girl who has never even been out of the town, I'm afraid that she doesn't even know where the capital is and what the name is, can this idea be her own?

Therefore, he suspected that someone had an idea behind it.

But according to his wife, Zeng Rong mentioned that he would follow the Xu family into Beijing immediately after treating Xu Jing, and there would be no outsiders present at all.

But Xu Fushan doesn't think so, the Xu family's reputation is outside, and the news that his wife returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors spread out, so some people are eyeing him, and it is not impossible to take the opportunity to have a relationship with him.

It's just that it is unknown whether this person with a heart is the patriarch or the academy gentleman who went to take the Xiucai exam.

But as a native of Anzhou Prefecture, Xu Fushan still has a little knowledge of Zengjia Village, and knows that this village is relatively close to Qingshan Temple.

But the problem is that the entire Anzhou Mansion has always been prosperous, there are many villages like Zengjia Village, and there has been a legend of "one door and three jinshi, two prime ministers across the river, and three champions in five miles" in history, compared with them, Zengjia Village is a bit insufficient.

Not to mention others, Ouyang Ruoying, the current household servant, is a native of Anzhou Mansion, his village is not far from Zengjia Village, and the talents of the entire Ouyang clan over the years are far better than those of the Zeng clan.

By the way, Ouyang Ruoying, it seems that the descendant who saved people is surnamed Ouyang, and Bao Buqi is Ouyang Ruoying's kindred or fellow villager, could it be that the little descendant mentioned her?

But that's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?

It's not difficult to meet his grandson, and it's not difficult to have herbs in his hands, but the difficult thing is that his grandson will be bitten by a snake?

Could it be that the snake was placed there on purpose?

But this is not right, how does the other party know that his grandson will definitely go out?

If he said that the other party was an adult or a political opponent in the officialdom, he still believed it, but the two little girls, he shook his head.

Not quite convinced.

Therefore, the first question he asked was why Sister Zeng Rong refused to stay in the Xu family.

Since it is a relationship, wouldn't it be more convenient to stay in the Xu family?

"Back to Lord Xu, the little one doesn't want to sell himself as a slave, he just wants to support himself and his sister with his own skills." Zeng Rong replied.

"Nonsense, since you want to rely on your own skills, why do you have to enter Beijing? I heard that you are also a person who has studied, and those who are close to your relatives will be at peace regardless of the place, and filial piety is also the same. You know what that means, right? But you brought your sister all the way to the capital, can your parents and brothers in your hometown rest assured? Xu Fushan reprimanded.

"Back to Lord Xu, the little one has never really gone to school, only a few words, the little one you said doesn't understand, but the truth of the father's love and filial piety is still understood, although the child doesn't care about the rights and wrongs of the parents, but my mother is the stepmother, and repeatedly wants to sell me to the Goulan wine shop, my father not only did not stop but also followed me to lobby me, and when the lobbying failed, he began to secretly collude with the tooth woman to send me away directly, and the little one was forced to commit suicide in the lake when he was cornered, but even so, My stepmother still didn't want to let me go, and the little one couldn't do it, so she begged the old lady. Zeng Rong knelt down and replied.

Because of the casual passage of the past few months at home, there are several "I" in her words, one "me" and one "small", but it is in line with her current identity, just from the countryside, and the rules are not yet complete.

But Zeng Rong forgot one thing, she kept saying that she "only knew a few words", but she brought out a few elegant words more than once, such as "father and son filial piety", "cornered", as well as "lobbying" and "children regardless of the rights and wrongs of their parents", these words are by no means said by a rural village girl who "only knows a few words".

"Even so, there's no need to go to Beijing, right? I heard from Humble Jing that your embroidery skills are good, in that case, why don't you stay in your hometown to help your parents live? I believe that with your cleverness, your parents will never sell you again, but they are afraid and reluctant to sell you. ”

"Back to the adult, the little one is unwilling and unwilling, why does she want to sell me again and again, and I have to work hard for her again and again? Confucius said, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue? I've already repaid the kindness of this nurturing. Zeng Rong told the truth, she didn't want to lie to herself and others against her will, and she didn't think she could fool the other party.

"Nonsense, the grace of nurturing is greater than the sky, you... Xu Fushan was so angry that he blew his beard.

He really didn't expect Zeng Rong to say such a big rebellious thing.

"Okay, old man, don't be angry with a junior, Ah Rong, this child is kind-hearted, not only does she take care of all the housework, but she also serves her stepmother's confinement, and she keeps all the money we gave, no, she also brought her sister out together, in order to reduce the burden on the family." Mrs. Xu interrupted her husband's words.

Because if she doesn't open her mouth, her precious grandson will have to kneel.

"I'm afraid it's not just to reduce the burden on parents, right?" Xu Fushan looked at Zeng Hua.

Although the complexion on the face is not very good, and the clothes on the body are also simple, Xu Fushan has to admit that the two sisters are not ugly, and they seem to be a little beautiful.

To be honest, life in the countryside can't go on, and it's not uncommon to sell children and daughters, but there are not many people who sell children in that kind of place, but if it's a stepmother, it's easy to understand.

Understandable is understanding, sympathy is sympathy, but the truth that should be said still has to be said, and some things cannot be said so straightforwardly even if they really think so in their hearts.

Also, after all, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, an important minister in the court, and after so many years of official authority, he has long formed a deterrent force of not being angry and self-prestigious, so whether it is in the court or under the court, or even hundreds of people in the family, who is not allowed to look at his face? Who would dare to refute him easily?

But this little girl from the countryside dared.

Ignorance, ignorance is fearless.

However, there is one thing Xu Fushan admitted, this child is indeed kind-hearted, otherwise he would not have brought his sister out, for a person who is difficult to protect himself, he can still think of saving his young sister from the sea of suffering, this courage and courage are not available to everyone, therefore, from this point of view, he still admires Zeng Rong a little.

After figuring this out, Xu Fushan didn't get angry with a junior.
