Chapter 9: Entering Celadon County for the first time

Lin Jinxiu bowed again and thanked him. Li Guihua brought Lin Jinxiu's package to her, and Lin Jinxiu carried the package on her back.

It was said to be a package, but it was actually two old clothes, a child's diaper, and a square handkerchief that was pressed into the bed board and kept well.

In the memory of the original owner, this square is very important, but the process of obtaining the square is very vague, as if the original owner was in a state of delirium at that time.

Lin Jinxiu saw that this square handkerchief was very exquisite, so she took it with her.

The carriage that Zhang Lin called for Lin Jinxiu to go to the county had arrived, and Lin Jinxiu thanked Zhang Lin and Li Guihua again, and got into the carriage with his son in his arms.

When she went out to greet Zhang Lin and them through the carriage window, Lin Jinxiu saw the figure of a man who did not want to appear on the corner of the street, looking at her from a distance.

Lin Jinxiu only pretended that she had never seen that person.

After all, there are many things that can't be made up, and if you miss it, you will miss it.

So next, how can she, a single woman with a child, survive in that county?

There is a new life there, and Lin Jinxiu is faintly looking forward to it.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......" Lin Jinxiu knelt in front of the dragon throne on his knees in a gorgeous dress, followed by Lele, this young man with thick eyebrows and starry eyes couldn't help but hold back a smile, the cunning meaning between his eyes continued to appear, and his watery eyes were purring, stealing glances at Lin Jinxiu from time to time.

"Lin Jinxiu, the daughter of the people, and her son Lin Lele is the chef of the imperial cuisine, who is in charge of the emperor's diet, and he admires this-" The eunuch's shrill voice read the holy decree, and the man called His Majesty continued in a deep voice:

"Flat, girl."

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Lin Jinxiu raised her hands above her head, took the holy decree, and raised her head with a generous and calm smile of joy, facing the emperor's charcoal-like black face, with a few pimples and a thick beard on it.

…… Hey?

"Girl, girl!" The deep voice gradually woke Lin Jinxiu up, and the coachman's dark face appeared in front of Lin Jinxiu, and the dragon crown and dragon robe on his head gradually disappeared.

Lin Jinxiu hurriedly sat upright, and the hairstyle that was messed up because she accidentally fell asleep made her a little embarrassed, and hurriedly freed one hand to tidy it up, while Lele slept soundly, and her saliva flowed out, wetting Lin Jinxiu's clothes.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Jinxiu coughed twice, cleared her throat, and looked at the coachman.

The coachman didn't realize Lin Jinxiu's embarrassment at all: "Girl, Celadon Town has arrived, you should get out of the car." ”

"Ah, good. Thank you, big brother. Lin Jinxiu took out the coil that the village chief gave him before, counted out the money and handed it to the coachman, thanked him, and then walked off the carriage with Lele in his arms, and stood on the slightly bustling street of Celadon Town.

Looking at the scene completely different from the village, Lin Jinxiu stopped slightly, remembered the miserable memory of the original body, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and slowly spit out with a sense of suffocation, as if saying goodbye to her former self.

is not only with the self before the crossing, but also with the soft and weak soft bun Lin Jinxiu.

I live for you, just for this body, for the Lele that I tried my best to get back-

From today, from here, it is a new life, and everything that was once completely abandoned.

It's just that why did you fall asleep in the carriage and dream that you were canonized as the imperial chef, could it be that you were fascinated when you were thinking about the way out in the future?

Even the format of the decree is wrong, which completely exposes the fact that the ancient text has not been studied well......

God, I actually thought of the scene of being the chef of the imperial cuisine, it was really ......

It's so embarrassing, I don't want to think about it.

Lin Jinxiu touched her sleeve for a long time, and found a few leaves that had been pinched out of shape.

This is the address of his nephew left by the village chief, but there are no literate people in the village, so there is no pen and ink to write, so she can only find a few larger leaves and pinch out letters with fewer strokes to give some hints to her memory.

"If you want to go here......" Lin Jinxiu tightened the thin quilt wrapped around Lele, and squinted his eyes and walked into Celadon Town.

Meanwhile.

When Lin Jinxiu turned east and west, he asked and guessed to find the way, on the main street of Celadon Town.

Seven or eight men with sticks in their hands were encircling an old woman in ragged clothes and a little girl in her prime.

The man at the head was well-dressed, and at first glance he was one of the few big families in the town, and the men who traveled with him must have been his family.

"Aunt Li, I'm not embarrassed for you, this debt is repaid, isn't it justified? Your son owes so much money in my village, and others don't know where to go, so I can't help it. The man was holding a folding fan in his hand, and suddenly opened it and fanned himself a few times.

He walked to the old woman's side and circled around her, with a helpless look on his sad face and fierce eyes, which was very disagreeable, "No one pays me back, and I don't have a problem in my heart, you see that I can only find you in this town, and you can give me a quasi-son for your son's affairs." ”

Cui Shao's face with a pile of horizontal meat was shiny under the sun, if Lin Jinxiu was there, he could definitely think of a dish called braised pork knuckle.

But Cui Shao's face doesn't look like an appetite, the small eyes embedded in the middle of the horizontal meat, the upturned corners of the eyes and the drooping eyelids are like ingots - clearly giving birth to a pair of money eyes.

With slightly thin limbs and a bulging belly matched with the light gold satin clothes, he got rid of a fine ingot.

The little girl followed the man with her arms outstretched like wings, trying to isolate the old woman from him: "My father is a bastard, but you can't just come up and beat someone!" Don't touch my grandma, whoever touches my grandma again, I'll fight with whom! ”

"Cui Shao, my son is not angry, how much does he owe you?" Aunt Li covered her shoulder, which was in pain from being attacked, with one hand, and pulled the little girl behind her with the other, "The child is not sensible, Cui Shao, don't take it to heart." ”

"Grandma! He is obviously too deceitful! My dad hasn't been home in six years! What does the money he owes have to do with us! He doesn't know if he owes money or not! The little girl struggled stubbornly, wanting to shake off Aunt Li's hand, trying to squeeze between her grandmother and Cui Shao to protect her grandmother again.

Cui Shao snorted lightly, and the little eyes swirled around the little girl: "Little girl, we are all businessmen who do our duty, how can we lie about this matter of owing money?" Look, Auntie. ”

A piece of paper with a handprint slid from Cui Shao's sleeve to his palm: "Look, white paper and black letters, obviously, do you know how to read?" If you don't know how to read, I'll read it to you? ”

Before Aunt Li could reply, Cui Shao folded the fan in his hand, pressed Aunt Li's words back with a snap, and began to read aloud the contents of the paper in his hand on the street:

"Contemptible Sun Gui, one hundred taels of money in Cui's Qianzhuang......"

"One hundred taels!" The little girl exclaimed, "How can we afford so much!" Go to my father himself! We can't do it yet! ”

"Ning'er!" Aunt Li snorted lightly, "No matter how bastard your father is, she is also your father!" ”

Ning Er retracted back to Aunt Li's side angrily, and could only rub the corners of her clothes and muttered something quietly, but no one heard it clearly.

“…… Draw a charge with this. Cui Shao finished reading a few words and held the IOU in front of Aunt Li's eyes.

"Cui Shao, are you sure this IOU is real?" Aunt Li gritted her teeth and asked.

Cui Shao pointed to the handprint on the IOU and the seal of Cui's bank: "There is also your son's handprint here, of course it is true." ”

Aunt Li lowered her head, lowered her voice and scolded the rebel, and then looked at Cui Shao: "One hundred taels is really a bit much, can Cui Shao give a few days, we must get the money together as soon as possible." ”

"Grace? Still want grace? Cui Shao yelled, and then straightened his expression and withdrew the hideous expression that was almost revealed, "This IOU is a month ago, and today is the deadline!" The time of a stick of incense, one hundred taels, is not bad, otherwise it ......"

As he spoke, the housekeeper next to him pressed an incense burner to the ground, and the cigarette smoke rose like a talisman.

And Cui Shao looked like the dust had settled, and his eyes fell on Ning Er's body uncontrollably.

From the neat bun to the white arms, from the willow-like thin eyebrows to the cherry-like mouth, from the girdle to the pocket-sized and cute embroidered shoes, in the end, it turned around and stopped on the slightly bulging chest.

"Oh, yes, there's one more sentence." Major Cui shifted his gaze from the old lady to Ning'er, "...... If he can't pay the money, he will send his beloved daughter Sun Ningning to Cui's Mansion and be a slave. ”

"Shi ......" Ning Er, who was still trying to talk to Cui Shao, suddenly opened her eyes wide and was stunned, her ruddy little face turned pale, and the green onion pointed at Cui Shao, and in fear and anger, she held back an octave scream from her throat: "You, you are shameless!" ”

"Your father is even more shameless." A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Cui Shao's mouth, "He didn't hesitate to sell you at all." ”

"You-"

"Ning'er!" Aunt Li raised her voice, "Stop talking...... Don't say it......"

The tired face covered by soft folds gradually flashed a look of despair: "Cui Shao, please don't take Ning'er away, money, I'll find a way......"

Seeing the reaction of the two, Cui Shao exchanged glances with his family, and the two equally vicious faces sneered: "Okay, old woman, you don't have time." If I take away your granddaughter, I will pay the debt for your son, and I will never come to you in the future. ”

The surrounding family members waved the sticks in their hands, and some even laughed, as if they enjoyed the joy of participating in violence every time they came to collect debts with Cui Shao.

"No!" Aunt Li stepped forward and hugged Ning'er in her arms, "My family is surrounded by only Ning'er and me, you can't take my Ning'er away!" ”

"Grandma!" Ning'er also screamed, and her big eyes, which were still gurgling just now, were full of tears.

"Time is running out." Cui Shao's eyes have been on the incense, the biggest advantage of this special incense is that it burns quickly, for him, it is more time-saving, "It's really stupid, isn't it good to drink spicy with Ben Shao's fragrant food?" It's better than you drinking the northwest wind with this old woman. ”

"Phew!" Ning Er shouted, "What's good about your Cui family!" I just asked for food outside and I won't go back with you!! ”
