Qiao Ruyi came to the place where they met along the street, and just saw Lu Jiaoer and others standing there, Qiao Ruyi sped up a few steps, came to the front of the person, first hugged Qiao Ruxin in her arms, and then said to Lu Jiaoer and Lu Shun'er:

Erniang, cousin, you guys are in a hurry-

You kid, I discussed with your second mother just now, do you want to go back to Lu Mansion to find a few boys to look for, why can't I see you in a blink of an eye, but I was scared to death.

Lu Shun'er touched her chest and said with a worried look.

Lu Jiao'er looked Qiao Ruyi up and down, and said with a smile: Cousin, you are concerned about it, Ruyi is a smart child, how could he be lost, and besides, such a big person, even if he is lost, he can find it home, where do you need the boys to find it

Lu Jiaoer also has a plan in her heart, this is not a big deal, if she looks for it with great fanfare, it will make others think that something is wrong, after all, Qiao Ruyi's age is the age of saying that she is pro, and there can be no flaws in her reputation, otherwise where will there be good people to propose marriage, this kind of thing is better to suppress, Lu Jiaoer remembered Sister Chen Yuan's incident again, although it was not spread in the house, in the end, it made Lu Shun'er make a big fuss, and let people know it, according to Lu Jiao'er's meaning, the arm was folded and hidden in the sleeve, No, after all, everyone knows it.

Qiao Ruxin raised her head and looked at Qiao Ruyi and asked:

Sister, where have you been, have you been bumped into by others-

It's okay, Qiao Ruyi smiled and said to Qiao Ruxin, sister is fine. After Qiao Ruyi finished speaking, she said to Lu Jiao'er, Lu Shun'er:

Erniang, cousin, let you be anxious, just now the people were crowded, and I and you were separated, I thought about the place where we had just made an appointment to meet, so I didn't worry, I sat in the teahouse for a while, waiting for the people to disperse, I will come to you quickly-

I said that Ruyi is a smart child and will not do foolish things

Lu Jiao'er nodded when she heard this, and said to Lu Shun'er: Cousin, although you are older than us, I also have to say a few words about you, don't make a fuss about something when you encounter something, everyone knows-

Lu Jiaoer took the opportunity to warn Lu Shun'er.

Got it, got it. Lu Shun'er also felt that she was a little reckless, but let Lu Jiao'er say this, not to mention that in front of Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Ruxin, she felt that she couldn't save face, so she hurriedly replied: I know, let's go back, I've walked these roads, but I'm a little tired-

Okay, let's go back-

Lu Jiaoer responded with a smile, and the group walked home.

Qiao Ruyi took Qiao Ruxin in her hand, looked back, there were people coming and going, and there was no one she knew, so Qiao Ruyi turned her head and pulled Qiao Ruxin to go with Lu Jiaoer and Lu Shun'er.

--

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is also the New Year, and the days of everyone having fun have passed, and they have begun to resume normal work.

Qiao Erliang went to inspect the shop.

Li Fuzi came to Lu Mansion to teach, but because Sister Chen Yuan was physically inconvenient, she didn't follow Li Fuzi to class, only Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Ruxin. Lu Shun'er went to see Sister Chen Yuan, and Lu Jiao'er took care of the business in Lu's house-

One afternoon, Lu Jiaoer came to Lanxiang Courtyard with a tooth woman, and the two of them also brought five little girls behind them, Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Ruxin were resting days this day, and they were doing needlework in the yard.

Lu Jiao'er looked at it and said with a smile:

Don't be busy, I'm here with Ya Pozi today, buy two girls for your two sisters, this matter has been said for a long time, this has not been delayed, today I finally got free, so I let Ya Pozi bring someone over.

Qiao Ruyi listened, nodded and replied:

Thank you Erniang.

Then look at the five little girls behind the tooth woman, these five little girls look like they are no more than eight or nine years old, but Qiao Ruxin is about the same size, and the clothes they are wearing look like they are all clean, but they are obviously not their own clothes, because they are not dressed properly, they are loose and fat, and their faces also show a look of fear.

Qiao Ruyi looked at their kung fu, and the faces of these little girls showed even more frightened looks, and the tooth woman looked at it and said with a smile:

They are all children of small families, they have no knowledge, and they have never been to this kind of deep house compound, so they are inevitably a little scared, Miss, don't mind.

Qiao Ruyi listened, smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: It's okay.

Lu Jiaoer watched it from the side, and said with a smile: Just stay here for a long time in the future-

It's such a mile, Ya Pozi said with a smile, I heard that these five children were asked for maids in the house, and I brought them with a pick

Qiao Ruyi nodded and said: What are their names, where did they come from, and what did they come back to.

As soon as the tooth woman was about to answer, Qiao Ruyi shook her head and said, "Let these five children talk about it separately." Qiao Ruyi pointed to the girl behind the tooth woman. When the tooth woman heard this, she sighed and said:

Quick, let's talk to Mrs.

Ya Pozi said, let the place come, and the five little girls took two steps forward one by one, and each introduced himself.

My name is Zhao Di, I'm nine years old, I can cook on the fire, do laundry and clean

A thin, yellow-skinned girl walked up and said in a proper manner,

My name is eldest sister, I'm ten years old, and I can sew clothes

One looks a little arrogant and slightly more outstanding.

My name is Eryatou, and I am also nine years old this year, and I help my mother take care of my brother at home, and I can also do laundry—

A slightly nervous girl stepped forward and said, stiff and trembling.

My name is Osmanthus, I am eleven years old this year, I have a lot of strength, I collect firewood at home, go to the field, carry water and can do a lot of work. I ate a lot, and my mother thought I ate too much, so she sold me

This girl said it with a giggle, without a little careful thinking, Qiao Ruyi listened, looked her up and down, and saw that she was indeed thicker than her peers.

My name is Big Chick, I'm eight years old, I don't know how to do anything, I—

This girl is the youngest and the smallest in the body, and when she says this, she feels like she's going to cry-

Ya Pozi saw it and hurriedly said:

Okay, I know it, you don't know how to work, why are you crying.

As soon as the tooth woman said this, the girl called the big girl wiped her tears with her sleeve suddenly, and she didn't make a sound at all.

Qiao Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled.

Ya Pozi was also not angry with this little girl, so she said to Lu Jiaoer and Qiao Ruyi:

Madame, Miss, which of these girls do you fancy?

Qiao Ruyi turned her head and glanced at Lu Jiao'er, and Lu Jiao'er said: Your own girl, you can choose it yourself

Qiao Ruyi nodded, put her hand to the one called Osmanthus, and said: I want this girl.
