Master Tian said: "The children born to a foreign marriage girl can be redeemed, but the price is not cheap, the daughter costs five taels of silver, and the man over the age of fourteen costs ten taels of silver." ”

"Ten taels!" Yao Minghui is very painful, two is twenty taels, which is a lot of silver.

Master Tian saw that he was in pain, and said with a smile: "It's not certain whether the Lu family is a fugitive slave or not, you can wait for the slave registration book of Jinling Mansion to be sent, if Old Man Lu is not a fugitive slave, you will save this silver." ”

Yao Minghui was a little moved, but he thought of Zou Xiancheng's appearance in the court...... Even Zou Xiancheng was anxious to clear up the relationship with the Lu family, and the old man Lu was a fugitive slave, and it was true.

can't wait any longer, if he waits until Old Man Lu is sentenced to ransom people, then his two sons will become official slaves.

Redeeming it early can also avoid this stain.

"Master Tian, my family was really miserable by the Lu family, don't worry, those two are the sons of the students, and the students will redeem them no matter what. Wait, and the student will go back and get the money to ransom him. After Yao Minghui gave Master Tian a bow and then bowed again, he respectfully retreated.

Niu Chengwu heard that it would cost ten taels of silver to ransom a man, and he immediately didn't want to redeem his son.

But the village chief Niu didn't agree, how could Brother Ren also be his son, he was seventeen this year, and the family affairs were decided, and he would get married in a few months, and he would have to redeem it and pass it on to the next generation.

As for the two daughters born to Lu Hehua, they lost money and goods, and the village chief Niu was reluctant to spend ten taels of silver to ransom them.

As soon as the matter was decided, the Niu family and the Yao family were busy ransom.

……

Zou Mansion, Zou Yuzhen didn't sleep all night, and after knowing that Zou Xiancheng came back, he didn't dare to go to Zou Xiancheng to dangle in front of him, for fear that Zou Xiancheng would sprinkle his anger on his head.

He went to see Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu also didn't sleep all night, and after learning the news, she was almost frightened: "Mama, this matter really leaked out, what should we do?" ”

Aunt Lu knew that Old Man Lu was a fugitive slave, just because when Mama Han was in trouble, she met Old Man Lu by chance, just to report him for running away from slaves, and forced Old Man Lu to spend money to redeem Mama Han.

After redeeming Mama Han, Mama Han did not sell herself to the Lu family, but gave Old Man Lu an idea, which was to help him teach Lu Meihua, and after teaching Lu Meihua, let her go to Zou Xiancheng as a concubine, so that the Lu family could live a good life.

Mama Han used to teach girls to serve men in the Linglong Painting Boat, and the means were quite flirtatious, as long as they were taught by Mama Han, it was not difficult to be favored.

Old Man Lu also disliked that his life was not rich enough at that time, and after hearing Mama Han's proposal, he slapped the table and agreed.

In the next two years, Aunt Lu was taught by Mama Han, learned all kinds of skills to serve men, and also learned some words and poems, and two years later, Aunt Lu sold herself into the Zou family.

Because of his good appearance and literacy, he was assigned to the study to serve Zou Xiancheng.

It didn't take long for Aunt Lu to serve Zou Xiancheng, from a flawed favor, and then a mother with a son, she became an aunt.

And Mama Han also sold herself into the Zou family at this time and became the grandmother next to Aunt Lu.

Therefore, everyone didn't know that Mama Han and Old Man Lu had known each other for a long time, and both of them came out of the Linglong Painting Boat.

It's just that Old Man Lu is a fugitive slave, and Mama Han met Old Man Lu after being resold, and forced Old Man Lu to help her redeem herself, and for her future glory and wealth, she designed to send Aunt Lu to the Zou family, and then sold herself to follow up, enjoying the blessings of the past 20 years.

Mama Han said: "Auntie, don't worry, no matter what happens to the Lu family, it won't involve you, you have the third young master by your side, as long as the third young master is here, your good days will not come to an end." ”

"What do you mean by Mama? It's to give up the Lu family! Aunt Lu was shocked, and looked at Mama Han's eyes with a hint of resentment: "That's my father, my brother, my sons and nephews, if I give up the Lu family and don't save them, I won't have a mother's family." ”

Aunt Lu still has a conscience, and she never thought of giving up Old Man Lu at the moment of life and death.

But who is Mama Han?

How could Aunt Lu offend Zou Xiancheng in order to save the Lu family.

Mama Han said: "Auntie, although Zou Xiancheng didn't find out who gave him the medicine for the heir, but he has begun to beware of his aunt, for this time, don't come to the aunt's room, there are still many people hiding outside our yard, and they are secretly staring at the aunt." ”

Mama Han lowered her voice and said: "The old man doesn't believe in his aunt anymore, he is grabbing his aunt's handle, and my aunt will go against the county master at this time, what should the third young master do?" ”

"The eldest and second eldest have fallen, seeing that the third young master can be in charge of the Zou family, such a thing has happened, for the sake of today, I can only abandon the Lu family and keep the third young master. It must be known that the aunt depends on the third young master, and only when the third young master is well, the aunt can have a good life. ”

And she can have a good life.

Aunt Lu was very hesitant: "But, that's my father." ”

"What if it's my aunt's father?" Zou Yuzhen pushed the door and walked in, turned around and closed the door, walked in front of Aunt Lu, knelt down and said, "Auntie, please have pity on your poor son, help your son, my son can't have a grandfather who is a fugitive slave." ”

"My son will be famous in the future, if there is a grandfather who is a fugitive slave, even if he can take the scientific exam, he will be laughed at by the candidates on the same list and subject, this is a stain on his son's life, and this stain cannot be left!"

Can't stay......

Aunt Lu was shocked, and asked Zou Yuzhen in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhen, you, what do you mean?" Why can't I stay in law? ”

Zou Yuzhen looked at Mama Han.

Mama Han understood and whispered: "Auntie, it will take ten years for the slave registration book of Jinling Mansion to be sent back, and it is generally the thumb of the left hand that is used to press the handprint, as long as it is ......."

Mama Han whispered a few words to Aunt Lu, but Aunt Lu was so frightened that her face turned pale and her tears couldn't stop flowing: "You, what are you going to ...... Dad, he died tragically. ”

Mama Han said: "Auntie, what a tragic death, Old Man Lu is called a death to prove his innocence." If this thing is done, Xu Xian ordered not to convict the Lu family of fugitive slaves, but also to be punished for the crime of disregarding human life, and then he wants to be promoted, but it will not be so easy. ”

Zou Yuzhen said: "Auntie, because of Zhong Cuilan's words before she died, your father has begun to suspect you, and Master Shao is a concubine, and he is visiting his father recently, so that his father can support the second son to be the future leader of the Zou family, we can't be dragged down by the Lu family anymore, we have to use the Lu family to turn over!" ”

As soon as the old man Lu died, he left a blood letter, and they took the blood book to Fucheng to shout grievances, not only could they escape this catastrophe, but they could also bite Xu County Order and Jiang County Lieutenant back.

Aunt Lu was passive, and Mama Han took advantage of her consent to hurriedly take a bag of silver, went to the kitchen to carry a box of food, and went to the county jail to visit Mr. Lu.
