Chapter 40: The Flower Thief (12)

Otherwise, the relationship between them is the best, even if they are unwilling, they will fight hard to catch the flower thief.

Before leaving, a few people left a few words tragically, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone, Mingzhu, if we don't show up tomorrow, you will burn a few incense sticks for us today next year." ”

"Fuck your uncle, your dad is not a man-eating tiger, go and come back quickly." Jiang Mingzhu kicked several people out of the door.

Jiang Mingzhu also planned to go back to Prince Rui's mansion again, and discuss the matter of flower thieves with her father again.

"Miss."

Because the two of them walked out of an alley, Sanyuan pointed to a pair of old men in the alley, "Miss, you wait for me, I'll help push a cart." ”

I saw Sanyuan quickly run to the old man, and enthusiastically said that he wanted to help them push the cart, the old man seemed to cough a few times and wanted to refuse, but Sanyuan was too enthusiastic, and without saying a word, he took their board car handle and pushed it forward......

Then I heard the sound of the wheels of the car slowly moving away.

Jiang Mingzhu smiled, Sanyuan's warm-hearted problem is still the same, and he can't see the old man suffering.

She looked up at the sky in the distance, the weather was even better today, there was not a trace of clouds in the sky, it was all blue sky.

"Hey, Mrs. Chen's family is also pitiful."

A few people came out of the alley, apparently from the people who lived in the alley.

A few people were talking as they walked.

"Yes, not to mention that my son is dead, the two of them also look like they are dying soon, but I am afraid that the old Chen family is going to die."

"Evil, I said that woman was scheming, but the Chen family kid was bent on being good to her, but they cheated him out of his money and ran away with a cloth merchant, and the Chen family kid couldn't stand the blow and jumped into the well directly, leaving Mrs. Chen and her family alone......

Jiang Mingzhu didn't expect to hear such a powerful gossip.

It's just that the way is to ask what the world is like, and it makes life and death promise to each other.

"Miss, what are you doing in a daze?" Sanyuan ran back with a sweat, and saw Jiang Mingzhu in a daze.

"It's fine." Jiang Mingzhu felt that something seemed to flash through her mind, but it passed quickly, making her unable to grasp the clue.

"Miss, the two people I helped just now are too pitiful, they are old, have no children and no daughters, and they are seriously ill, and they are afraid that they will die soon." Sanyuan sighed.

"What do they do?" Jiang Mingzhu asked casually.

"Those who pour night incense seem to have been doing it for decades, but because of the night incense, everyone else avoids them, and no one interacts with them on weekdays." Three-circle return.

The job of pouring night incense is tiring, dirty and smelly, and it is reasonable that ordinary people are really reluctant to approach.

"Pour the night incense?" Jiang Mingzhu frowned.

"Miss, you don't doubt them, do you? These two are a couple, looking at their sixties, they were originally middle-aged and had a child, and the couple had a sustenance, but who would have thought that their son would fall into the water and die at the beginning of the year, leaving them to be lonely old people, and they could not be flower thieves. "Sanyuan swears.

Jiang Mingzhu thought about it, so he didn't dwell on this problem.

She returned to Prince Rui's mansion, but the housekeeper said that the prince had not returned from the palace.

Jiang Mingzhu decided to go out for a walk, she always felt that when she was at the mouth of the alley, she seemed to grab something, but what did she catch?

She couldn't think of it for a while.

"Miss, why are you here again?" Sanyuan looked at Jiang Mingzhu in surprise and led her to the mouth of the alley again.

"Huh?" Jiang Mingzhu was also quite surprised, and said casually, "Ao, didn't you say that those two old people are quite pitiful, I plan to go and see, condolences to the lonely and widowed old people are traditional virtues, we have to learn more." ”

Sanyuan happily led the way in front and took Jiang Mingzhu to the gate of a courtyard where she had come.

The outer wall of the courtyard is very dilapidated, and even the gate is a little decayed, as easy as the people in the house.

"Bumper ~ Aunt Chen." Sanyuan patted the door panel.

"Who?" A vicissitudes of life sounded from inside the door.

"It's me, Sanyuan." Three circles self-reported home.

Then there was the sound of staggering footsteps, and after a while, the door opened, and a little old lady with a rickety body looked at Sanyuan and Jiang Mingzhu vigilantly, not understanding how Sanyuan could bring someone over?

"Aunt Chen, let me introduce to you, this is our young lady, she heard about you and came to visit you." Sanyuan explained.

said that it was a visit, but Jiang Mingzhu didn't mention anything in his hand.

"Sanyuan, go buy something." Jiang Mingzhu gave three yuan and a few taels of silver, but she came too abruptly and didn't prepare anything for a while.

"No, you don't." The little old lady was refusing, but she ran away in a hurry.

left Jiang Mingzhu and the little old lady staring at each other.

"Ahem~ Come in." The little old lady coughed, and she couldn't let anyone stand outside the door.

Jiang Mingzhu nodded with a smile, but looked at the coughing little old lady with a silent look, she looked very old, her face was full of deep wrinkles, her body was rickety, and she was swaying in one step......

Isn't this skeleton a little bigger?

Jiang Mingzhu had such a question popping up in his mind.

"Old woman, who is it?" At this moment, a little old man walked out of the room, also with a wrinkled face, his face was gray, and he looked like a man who was about to die.

"Ah, it's kind enough to help us today...... Ahem...... That girl's ...... Ahem...... The young lady came to see us. The little old lady coughed as she spoke, and when she coughed so badly, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth.

"Old woman, haven't you taken medicine again?" The little old man hurriedly rushed forward and helped the little old lady into the house.

"This young lady, I'm really sorry today, my wife is not in good health, I'm afraid it will be difficult to greet you." Before the little old lady entered the house, she tactfully gave Jiang Mingzhu an eviction order.

"Do you need me to help you get a doctor, I know a few good doctors." Jiang Mingzhu saw that the other party's health was so bad, and suggested.

"No, you don't." This time it was the little old man who refused.

Since the other party has issued an eviction order, Jiang Mingzhu has nothing to stay, so he plans to ask the nearby neighbors, what is the situation with this family?

Not to mention that the silver is good, take the silver as a stepping stone, and no matter how vigilant the person is, he will enthusiastically invite her into the house, and then he will go through the whole thing with all his tongue.

It is the middle-aged son of the two who poured the night incense that put all their hopes on this son.

I don't know what the old Chen family did in their last life, the son turned out to be a sick seedling, he has a bad body since he was a child, he is thinner than ordinary children, and later he is bigger, and his body is like a flat pole, high is high, that is, thin like hemp stick.

The old couple spent their life savings to find a family affair for the Chen family boy, and the girl was like a flower, but the family was poor, which made the Chen family pick up the cheap.

The boy of the Chen family is also obedient to his future daughter-in-law, and all the money he earns is given to the other party, who wants to get married The day after getting married, the girl ran away with all the money of the Chen family with a cloth merchant, and the boy of the Chen family couldn't stand the blow and jumped into the well......

Everyone in the vicinity knew about this matter, and they all scolded that woman for being ungrateful, her family was poor like that, not the Chen family's help, but I was afraid that she would have been sold into the Qinglou a long time ago.

"Where did his daughter-in-law go?" Jiang Mingzhu asked curiously.

"I don't know." No one answered this question, and the woman left a letter saying that she had eloped with someone.

"No one reported to the official?" Jiang Mingzhu continued to ask.

Everyone shook their heads again, they are a poor family, and their daughter-in-law eloped with others, will the government take care of it?
