Chapter 305: Orphans and Widows

On the day of the New Year, I don't know if it's a holiday, but God is also in a good mood, but it is sunny.

As the problem of eating for the refugees in Luoyang was solved, the security on the streets also improved a lot. As soon as it clears, plus it is a small year, there are more people who go out for a walk.

Qiu Zilong and his family rarely have this free time, and they plan to go around and buy something for the New Year.

As soon as I went out and walked to the bookstore next door, a female voice of "when will the red apricot building open" came into my ears, and the voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, and I suddenly stopped, turned my head to look, and saw a woman in a blue coat talking to the shopkeeper Xie.

I didn't expect that there would be old customers who were worried, but I was quite happy, walked in directly, and greeted: "Shopkeeper Xie has a prosperous business today, and there will be customers when he opens the door early this morning." ”

"How do I know that...... Hey, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. ”

Shopkeeper Xie's sharp eyes smiled leisurely, and he pouted outside the door, "Well, Chef Qiu from Hongxing Mansion is here, if you want to inquire about someone, ask him directly." ”

After speaking, he smiled at Qiu Zilonghan and said: "This woman came to look for her man, saying that she had been on an errand in your store before, and when she saw that the door of your store was closed, she didn't dare to knock on the door, so she asked me for some news." ”

Qiu Zilong wondered when he heard this, the guys in this store dispersed a few days ago, could it be that something happened?! But I didn't ask for anything.

Hearing this, the woman bowed down and thanked him, turned her head and saw Qiu Zilong, as if she had seen a savior, she took three steps and two steps, ran over, pulled his sleeve, and asked with a smile on her face, "Brother Qiu, do you remember me?" ”

Qiu Zilong looked at the woman in front of him in shock, isn't this the phantom fragrance next to the county lord, there were many encounters when he lived in the princess's mansion at that time, wasn't the county lord dead, how could she appear here?!

It was inconvenient for Huanxiang to reveal her identity to outsiders, so she hurriedly blinked and said, "Brother Qiu, I came all the way to find the child's father, can you let me go to the store to rest and drink saliva first?" ”

Qiu Zilong was stunned, not knowing what kind of drama she was playing. However, looking at the gossip on the face of the shopkeeper Xie, he knew that he was not the place to speak, but he also cooperated, patted his forehead, and said: "Look at the boy's recklessness, he didn't recognize his sister-in-law, hurry up and go with the boy's house." ”

"Zilong, whose daughter-in-law is this, why don't you introduce it?!" Shopkeeper Xie smiled playfully.

The guys in the store all know each other in the neighborhood, Qiu Zilong didn't even bother to make it up, and said directly: "This is a distant relative of my lord's family, and you don't know each other." ”

The implication is that he should inquire less.

The Lin family had a big incident a few days ago, but everyone in Luoyang City knew about it, no one knew about it, some admired it, and some regretted it, but more of them were looking forward to taking this opportunity to let the Lin family fall and look at the Lin family's jokes.

Although the shopkeeper Xie is red-eyed, there is no conflict between the two businesses, on the contrary, Hongxing Building has a large number of customers, and the business is booming, which also improves the business of the neighbors.

Therefore, Shopkeeper Xie not only didn't want Hongxing Building to fall, but was more concerned about what it would open, "Chef Qiu, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's talk." ”

Phantom Xiang frowned, this person was so uninteresting, he shouldn't have asked him if he knew it.

Qiu Zilong's eyes swept over the phantom fragrance, and when he saw that she was displeased, he smiled and said: "My sister-in-law came all the way here, I'm afraid she hasn't had breakfast yet, I'll take her back to the store first, our brothers are next door to the neighbors, let's talk another day." ”

Shopkeeper Xie heard that it was reasonable, so he had to laugh and watch the two leave.

Qiu Zilong directly ignored his existence, took the burden, and brought the person back to the store directly. Hurriedly asked, "Phantom Fragrance girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm here to take refuge with Miss Lin, can you help me find an errand, you can do anything, as long as you have something to eat." Phantom Xiang forced a smile.

Qiu Zilong looked dazed, this, what's the situation? However, when I saw the baby in the swaddling clothes again, I was relieved, took a deep breath, and asked with a curious face: "You are actually married and have a child?" Your man doesn't care about your mother and son? The errand is not difficult, but if you have children, you are afraid of inconvenience. Why don't I find an errand for your man? ”

Phantom Xiang was slightly embarrassed: "He...... He's dead......"

He's dead?!

Qiu Zilong's doubts dissipated, sympathized, and sighed with great regret: "It is inconvenient for you to take your children on errands. Otherwise, in this case, I will lend you some money first, and when the child is older, I will find an errand for you, and then I will pay it back slowly. ”

Phantom Xiang didn't agree, shook her head and said, "Brother Zilong, it's not just a matter of silver, our orphans and widows have come all the way to join Miss Lin." ”

This made Qiu Zilong helpless, and raised his eyebrows: "Have you thought clearly?" The Lin family is no better than the princess's mansion. ”

"We finally got acquainted, I haven't seen any kind of people who served the county lord back then. But apart from Miss Lin, I can't think of anyone else who will take in our mother and son. ”

"This ......"

At this moment, the child in the swaddling clothes started to make a fuss.

Qiu Zilong was a young man, although he had never brought a child, but when he heard the baby's crying, he suddenly sighed softly: "Why is the child crying, is he hungry?" ”

After speaking, I felt very embarrassed at this time, although there were no others in the hall, there was nothing to cover, and I hurriedly said: "I can't be the master of the master, or you take the child to my house to rest first." Don't worry, there is no one else in this store except me, I'll run for you now to see what the master's attitude is. ”

As soon as the child cried, Phantom Xiang was extremely nervous, the child was hungry, and he didn't know how to speak, so he was relieved to hear him say this.

If you want to talk about the Lin family in Sweet Water Lane, the gate is closed, and no one has been in or out for two days. I didn't know that I thought it was the door that had fallen, and the Lin family was ashamed to go out.

But in fact, the people in the house were busy cleaning the house.

"Ruyi come over and take a hand, hurry up and carry this out......"

"Ginkgo be careful, sweep the walls up and down with a broom, don't waste the water for auspicious scrubbing tables and chairs, and keep it for washing the ground in the yard......"

Peaches was busy directing the servants at home to clean up, and Leng Buding looked at Lin Shan on the bamboo ladder who was pasting couplets, and said busily: "Brother, it's crooked, ...... to the left."

"The old three hours are very timid, but now looking at her ability, she will not suffer when she comes to her in-law's house in the future." It was rare for Lin Xi not to do embroidery work, and accompanied Xiaosi to cut window flowers.

The younger sisters are capable, Lin Mei is happy, sitting on the ash couch and saying with a smile: "There are four sisters in our family, the fourth is still young, and I can't see the temperament. If you want to say that the most uneasy thing is you, you look gentle, but in fact you are a stubborn donkey, admit death, and you will suffer a big loss when you come to your in-law's house in the future. ”

Lin Xi hummed lazily: "Eldest sister doesn't often say, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if you really want to meet unreasonable, it's a big deal, I ignore him." ”

Lin Mei suddenly thought of something: "Do you still want to find your eldest sister?" ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, didn't think much about it, oh. said: "After so many years, it's good to be able to find nature, and it can be regarded as an explanation to my father." If you can't find it, you won't have a chance in this life. ”

Actually...... "I know where she is!" Before Lin Mei could say this, she was interrupted by the girl who came to report.

"Let him wait in the antechamber, and I'll be right there." Lin Mei instructed, raised her eyebrows and looked at her, who was teaching Xiao Si to use scissors correctly, Lin Xi sighed.
