Chapter 29: It's Different (2)
Mrs. Xu really believed that it was the Zeng Rong sisters who saved her grandson's life, remembering the wish she had just made, she smiled and stepped forward to take Zeng Rong's hand, and touched Zeng Rong's head again, "Girl, what is your name, how old are you this year?" ”
"Old lady Hui, the people's daughter's name is Zeng Rong, she is twelve years old this year, and this is my sister Zeng Hua, who is just six years old." Zeng Rong pulled Zeng Hua to his side.
"Grandmother, this little sister is even more powerful, and she knows a lot." As soon as Xu Jing heard that he had no worries about his life, and heard that his life was really saved by these two people, he also wanted to repay these two people.
He had already asked just now, this little girl was just six years old and had to do a lot of things, but she still couldn't eat, she looked like a child from a poor family, and the big one was also pitiful, and she was almost sold twice.
"Oh, yes, then I have to thank these two little girls." After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she gestured to the big girl next to her, Zisu, who entered the house, and soon came out with a silver ingot in one hand, which Zeng Rong recognized, it was five taels of one.
Seeing this, Zeng Rong waved his hand hurriedly, "Back to the old lady, this thank you gift is too heavy, and the people don't dare to accept it." ”
"It's not heavy, it's not heavy, my grandson's life is more than this bit of silver, you take it first, and then I will send someone to come to the door to thank you." Old Mrs. Xu learned that her grandson was fine, where would she care about this mere ten taels of silver?
Zeng Rong naturally knew this, in the previous life, Mrs. Xu probably saw that she was young, so she didn't give her silver immediately, but gave the Zeng family twenty taels of silver when she came to the door the next day, plus a bunch of food, and a few silver jewelry, and also took her away.
But in this life, the other party took out ten taels of silver first, so Zeng Rong was a little unsure of the other party's meaning.
What if they don't open their mouths tomorrow to take her away? What if they just want to take Zeng Hua away? What if they don't want to bring any of them?
After a little consideration, Zeng Rong pulled Zeng Hua to kneel in front of the old lady, "The folk girl has something to say to the old lady." ”
"Oh?" Old Madam Xu looked at the Void Master, who shook his head and got up to leave.
"Please also ask the master to stay and be a witness." Zeng Rong opened his mouth to keep people.
She believed that there was a lot of trouble when she jumped into the lake, and it was impossible for this master not to know about her own affairs.
So, in front of the master of nothingness, Zeng Rong roughly learned his experience from agreeing to change relatives to the present, the point is that she agreed to change parents, and the stepmother regretted and wanted to sell her to the hook fence, she resisted and was forced to jump into the lake, and after being rescued by luck, the stepmother did not give up, and wanted to join hands with Ya Po to sell her unconsciously, and she had to find the patriarch to move out of that house.
"You mean to buy yourself for ten taels of silver, I don't just give it to you..." In the latter words, Old Madam Xu looked at the silver ingot in Zisu's hand and did not continue.
Because she realized that since Zeng Rong opened his mouth, he definitely didn't just want ten taels of silver.
"No, the folk girl is brave and wants to ask the old lady for two things, first, the folk girl and her sister want to take advantage of the old lady's momentum to enter Beijing with the old lady, after entering Beijing, the folk girl also wants to ask the old lady to help arrange for the old lady to enter an embroidery workshop, the best is the largest and best embroidery workshop in the capital, the folk girl can do a good embroidery job, and she will definitely be able to support herself; Second, the folk girl now wants to borrow twenty taels of silver from the old lady, and the twenty taels of silver will be used to help the family solve the immediate predicament, and she will return it when she arrives in the capital in the future. ”
"Girl, these are three things for you." Old Madam Xu's tone suddenly turned cold.
"Yes, dare to ask Master Zeng Xiao, you are a young girl, it is difficult for you to make a living outside alone, let alone bring your sister, you are embarrassing Lord Xu. If you take this money back to your family's woes, I'm sure your parents won't betray you again. The Void Master didn't understand Zeng Rong's actions either, and opened his mouth to persuade.
"Big, big sister, you, you, you're going to the capital?" Zeng Hua was also frightened by his eldest sister's actions.
For a moment, she felt that something flashed through her mind, but before she could think about it, she saw Xu Jing clapping her hands and laughing: "Okay, why don't you both sell yourself to my house to be maids, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”
Zeng Rong couldn't help but burst into tears again when he heard this, he had no worries about food and clothing all his life, he was still like the previous life, he made his promise so easily, but he didn't know that he had to be in a different place when he didn't wait for the year to stand.
I don't know if I can protect your life and whether I can protect you for a safe and smooth life.
"Girl, why are you crying? Don't worry, with me, I won't ask your family to sell you to that dirty place. Seeing that Zeng Rong was crying uncontrollably, Mrs. Xu thought about this little girl's life experience, and felt a little compassionate, couldn't help but make a promise, and took two steps forward to help her up.
And Zeng Rong touched the other party's outstretched hand, and hugged the other party and cried.
"Big, big sister, what's wrong with you? We don't cry, we don't cry, you can rest assured, with this money, your father and mother will definitely not be able to sell you, and your relatives will definitely be able to make their own decisions. Zeng Hua saw his sister crying so sadly when he hugged an outsider, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, wanting to tear her off the old lady.
Zeng Hua's mention of Zeng Rong's family affairs reminded the Master of Nothingness of a person, Ouyang Si. Although he didn't ask about mundane affairs, he also knew that it was Ouyang Si who saved Zeng Rong who fell into the water, and it was Ouyang Si who took the initiative to give up his position in the academy to fulfill this little girl, and it was also the herb that Ouyang Si taught these two little girls to know.
But it's not right to think so, if that's the case, there's no need for her to go to the capital, right?
No, Ouyang Si is a poor student, even if he barely scrapes together the cost of the college examination now, if he fails to pass the exam, he still can't afford the cost of the school, not to mention that there will be autumn and spring in the future, which will require money.
This is the original intention of this little girl, she wants to enter Beijing and enter the best embroidery workshop, in order to help Ouyang Si earn the cost of the exam in the future.
But even so, you don't have to go to Beijing, right?
"Girl, you get up first, I promise you not to let your parents sell you, but what you said is too big, and I can't answer you for a while, so give me two days and let me think about it." The old lady helped Zeng Hua to help Zeng Rong up.
Zeng Rong also realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly pulled out his handkerchief, "The people's girl is rude, and I hope that the old lady Haihan will be disappointed." ”
"Have you ever studied?" Old Madam Xu also realized Zeng Rong's strangeness.
"No, it's just because I've lived in the academy for a few months and I know a few words." Zeng Rong lowered his head and took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu motioned to Zi Su to put the two silver ingots in Zeng Rong's hand, "Child, listen to me, you can hold these ten taels of silver for the time being, and we will talk about the rest in two days." ”
Zeng Rong shook his head, took two steps back, and didn't reach out to take the silver, Zi Su took two steps forward directly and stuffed the silver into her hand.
