In Xiao Yulin's eyes, what Zhong Yuqi wanted to express was that she was in a panic.

So, Xiao Yulin said: "Then stop and rest for a while!" It just so happens that the kid is going to find someone to entrust him? Although the country house can't give her fine clothes and food, it is still okay to give her food and clothing. ”

Subsequently, Xiao Yulin instructed Ma Liu to find a farmer to rest.

Although Zhong Yuqi also wants to find a good family for Yanyue, why should people with conditions raise an outsider for nothing? Even if she gave a sum of money to that person, it didn't necessarily mean that that person would be good to Yanyue in the future. Although the conditions of the country house are a little worse, people should be simple and do not have so many thoughts.

Ma Liu saw that there were three lights in front of him, unlike other homes with only one or two lights on, presumably this family was bigger and the conditions were relatively better. Therefore, Ma Liu ordered the convoy to go to the man's house.

After turning from the avenue to the trail, and after walking for a while, the convoy came to the front of the house.

It is a small house with three large tiled houses, each with a light on in it. There is also a large courtyard in front with a fence made of wood and a courtyard gate. There is a well in the yard and the occasional rooster can be heard.

Ma Liudang got out of the carriage first, came to the gate of the courtyard, and said inside, "Excuse me, is anyone in the house?" ”

Isn't Ma Liu's question nonsense? There are three lights on in the house, isn't someone at home, is it a ghost lighting the lamp?

However, if you don't usually ask this question, how do you say it? Do you just call someone out to open the door? This is too rude! Even if this person is from the Rui Wangfu.

A short time later, a woman opened the door and looked out.

However, after getting dark, the woman said, "Who are you?" ”

Ma Liu said: "We are people passing by here, it is getting late, and we want to find a place to rest and make dinner. I know that there is a lot of disturbance to your family, and my son-in-law will give you silver compensation. ”

The woman came to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the convoy again. Thinking that this family is also quite wealthy, it shouldn't be to worry about the thieves in her family, so she opened the courtyard door.

"Since you are a guest from afar, please come into the house and sit down! Please! ”

The woman raised her hand and welcomed the convoy in.

Ma Liu lit a torch in front of the carriage, Xiao Yulin got out of the carriage, and helped Zhong Yuqi get out of the carriage.

Afterwards, the group walked towards the house.

The woman beckoned them to sit down and went to make tea.

Ma Liu stopped the woman and said, "We just want to borrow your house, and we have everything we need." The sister-in-law took them to the kitchen. ”

After saying that, Ma Liu took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the woman.

The woman did not want it, but said, "My distinguished guest has come from afar, and I should have greeted him with a good life." However, the family is poor, there are no good things to entertain the guests at home, and the guests need to do it, so how can they be embarrassed to ask for the guests' silver? ”

Ma Liu said: "I have already made it clear before, just borrowing your house to rest, and the disturbing places will be made up with silver." Besides, if you use your lamp oil and firewood, you will naturally have to give silver. My son-in-law was tired, so she asked her sister-in-law to take them to the kitchen to cook tea and make rice. ”

Then the woman took the money, and then took some of the guards to the back kitchen.

Xiao Yulin looked around again and found that the conditions of this house were a little bad. If that's the case, why do you need three lights at home? Wouldn't that be more expensive?

However, although the items in the house are old, they are all well organized, and people are comfortable to look at. Come to think of it, this woman is also diligent.

Zhong Yuqi also glanced around, looking at this condition, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for this woman to take in Yanyue.

After the woman had taken the man to the kitchen, she returned to the big house in a short time and stood aside.

Xiao Yulin said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, please sit down!" ”

"Huh!"

The woman answered, and sat down beside her.

Xiao Yulin said: "What is the population of my sister-in-law's family? ”

The woman smiled and said, "There are two children and one girl in the family." My man is out working and hasn't come back yet! The family is poor and neglects the guests, please forgive the guests! ”

Xiao Yulin said: "My son is a little confused, and if he asks it, he feels a little presumptuous. ”

The woman said, "If your guest has anything to say, just say it." ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Look, my son should be more frugal at home, why do you have to light three lamps at this time?" ”

The woman said, "Oh, in this big house is where we eat." My man hasn't come back yet, and as soon as he does, I'm going to put the meal on the table. This oil lamp is lit, it will be a little dim at first, and there will be some smell of oil smoke, so it should be lit earlier, and then open the window to breathe. ”

Woman: "Just because the children want to read and learn how to write, and they can't be disturbed, I let them stay in the house." My girl was a female celebrity in the bedroom, and when her father came back to eat in the big house, she didn't want to move around, so she occupied a room by herself. This lamp oil is all picked from the mountains, and you don't need to spend money, just burn more and burn more! ”

Zhong Yuqi said curiously: "Your two sons sleep in one room and your daughter sleep in one room, so where do you two sleep?" ”

The woman was a little embarrassed and said, "The family is poor and the population is large, so I can only squeeze into sleep." His father slept in the same room with the two children, and the girl slept in the same room with me. ”

Ma Liu couldn't help but slander in his heart, originally thought that the three big tiled houses in the countryside should be considered good. I didn't expect it to be so poor! It seems that he still hasn't found a good place.

Zhong Yuqi also thinks so.

Originally, she also thought that there were three large tiled houses, and she could afford to light three lamps at night, so it was okay to come to the house. Now it seems that if this family wants to adopt Yanyue, it will also be difficult for them.

Xiao Yulin said: "Seeing that your family has settled well, and the family has a large population, why don't you build another room?" Even if it's a small room, it's good for my daughter to live separately. ”

The woman said, "My girl is ten years old this year, and she will be married in a few years, so why bother to build a house?" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "However, you still have two sons, and when the sons grow up, they will marry a daughter-in-law, and these three rooms are not enough!" ”

The woman said, "The children are twins, they are seven years old this year, and they will marry a daughter-in-law for more than ten years. Ten years later, the house was old. At the beginning, we just thought that now we don't need to build a few more houses, and we can't afford to have that much money on hand. It's better to have more money now, and then they will marry a daughter-in-law and build a few new houses.
