Chapter 472: Lost
"Didn't you just buy a new dress the other day?" Xue Wei looked disapproving, "You have so many clothes, you can't see it if you don't buy it for a while." Today's top priority is to make money and open a shop. I'll think about what you're talking about. ”
After taking a nap, Huang Fuxue took the magpie for a walk in the yard, remembering Huang Fuyue's intention today, she sighed slightly, and she didn't know when the eldest sister would be able to see Xue Wei's true face, she hoped that the eldest sister could see her true face earlier, but also worried about her reaction after knowing the truth. After the death of the eldest brother-in-law, the eldest sister finally regained her strength, thinking it was true love, but she didn't expect it to be just a scam that was used.
"Magpie, if one day you find out that the person you like is actually approaching you with a purpose, what will you do?" When the magpie heard this, he immediately thought of Huangfu Yue, and opened his mouth and said, "I may not know about others, but if it is a slave, the slave will definitely be like the second lady, and directly divorce him, without her, the slave and maid are living very well, why should they be wronged." ”
"You." Seeing that this girl is becoming more and more like him, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, "I hope the eldest sister will be less sad by then." ”
"Miss, my uncle is here." The magpie pointed to the cloister in front of him, then turned to leave. Huangfu Xue opened her mouth and wanted to call her back, but An Mingchen had already come, "Lady, I heard that you plan to go to the Lantern Festival in a few days, and I happen to be fine that day, so I'll go with you." ”
"No need, the princess should go that day, you can accompany the princess. I'll go back first. Huang Fuxue turned around to leave, about the previous incident, she hadn't figured out how to face him, so instead of the two of them standing here embarrassed, it was better for him to leave first.
"Lady, I only have you in my heart, and the princess is just a misunderstanding, no matter what, I will accompany you that day." An Mingchen insisted, and Huangfu Xue took two steps back, "No need, I was very busy that day, if you are fine, stay in the house and read." This time, Huangfu Xue didn't stay any longer and went back to the room directly. Magpie thought that the young lady would reconcile with her uncle this time, but she didn't expect that the relationship between the two still didn't improve. While being anxious, he asked out loud, "Miss, ...... you and your uncle?"
"You girl, when did you become so gossipy, hurry up and grind it for me, I want to plan well for the Lantern Festival." For several days in a row, Boss Gao came here every day to chat with Huangfu Xue to discuss how to do business, and also decided to sell all the sheep felt transported from Hudi to Huangfu Xue next time. An Mingchen showed favor for several days, but Huangfu Xue turned a blind eye, but chatted very happily with outsiders, and An Mingchen was jealous. On this day, Boss Gao left the Huangfu Mansion, An Mingchen found someone to follow Boss Gao, and asked someone to kidnap Boss Gao to a nearby village.
Boss Gao has been in the capital for a long time, but he is not familiar with the dialect of the capital, and the people regard her as a bad person, Boss Gao stands helplessly in the village, and no one in the people is willing to stop and listen carefully to what she wants to say. Boss Gao was very desperate, seeing that it was getting late, Boss Gao casually found a corner to breathe.
When Qin Shuang'er came back from the field and was about to go home, she saw the movement of the firewood pile not far from the door, and she was so frightened that she slowly approached with a hoe. "Who?"
"It's me. Girl, I'm not a bad person. Boss Gao slowly stood up, and after Qin Shuang'er saw the people in the haystack clearly, she put away her hoe, "Who are you and why are you at my door." ”
"I ...... I don't know what's going on. Boss Gao said what happened to her today word by word in an unskilled Beijing accent, "Where is this place, and how can I return to the capital?" ”
"You've been deceived. Don't worry that this place is not far from the capital, you can walk for more than half a day. But it's not early today, so you can come home with me first. You're leaving early tomorrow morning. Qin Shuang'er took the hoe and opened the door. Boss Gao hesitated, "This is not good, men and women are not kissed." ”
"You can be my father at your age, others won't misunderstand, besides, my father and mother are at home. Not a lonely man. Qin Shuang'er didn't expect a foreigner to have so many rules. Shaking his head with a smile, he came to the well in three or two steps, washed his face, fetched a basin of clean water, and beckoned Boss Gao to wash his face, "Hurry up and wash it, I'll go cook." He stood up and shouted into the house, "Daddy, I'm back, I'll cook now, and I'll bring it to you later." ”
Boss Gao looked puzzled, she said that his father and mother were there, but they came in so hard, her father and mother did not come out, and this girl, she looked almost fifteen or sixteen, younger than his son, she was busy in the field all afternoon, and she didn't rest when she came back to cook, it was really hard, the adults in this family were really big-hearted, and they didn't know that they felt sorry for the child at all.
"Little girl, what's your name, I'll help you light the fire." She can't cook, but she can. Boss Gao cooked himself in front of the stove. Qin Shuang'er was bold, without the slightest embarrassment, and responded with a smile, "There is nothing good to eat in our family, look at the uncle's dress, he should be a person with status, today's coarse tea and light meal, let's just take a look." ”
"If you have something to eat, you can eat anything." The poor family had an unobstructed view, and he had no hope. Dinner was a pot of corn paste and wowotou, a simple copy of a green vegetable, and Boss Gao helped Qin Shuang'er bring the food into the house, and after seeing the two middle-aged couples on the bed, he finally understood why this girl was so different.
Both husband and wife are disabled and can't get out of bed all year round, and the whole family relies on this girl. Don't look at Qin Shuang'er is only fifteen, her strength is greater than that of a young man of eighteen or nineteen, in order to earn more money on weekdays, she robs most of these boys all day long, and she has developed a boyish temperament when she comes and goes. It's very arrogant and very bold. Boss Gao admired Qin Shuang'er and felt sorry for what happened to him.
"Girl, it's not easy. Your father and mother are blessed. The husband and wife wiped a handful of tears and nodded desperately, "We owe her, let him suffer so many sins at such a young age, but we can't die." ”
"Mother, what are you talking nonsense. You and your father live well, our family can be considered complete, if you have three long and two short, our family is not a family. The daughter is not tired, not tired at all. For your sake, it's worth it for your daughter. ”
The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, Boss Gao coughed lightly and changed the topic, "I don't know if the two of you fell and injured their legs or were they born?" ”
"Five years ago, there was a flood in the village, the opposite mountain collapsed, when my child and her mother and I were weeding in the field, we ran late, and both of us were buried in the soil, this girl ignored the opposition of the villagers, and dug for three days and three nights to rescue us from the pile of dead, but it was too late, and we broke a pair of legs, and we were disabled for life. Sometimes seeing him work so hard, my mother and I can't wait that we hadn't been rescued, so maybe she can be a little easier. ”
"Dad, why did you start talking nonsense like your mother. I'm not hard, and I won't work hard to serve you all my life. ”
"You kid, you're so old, and everyone in the village who is as big as you is married, it's because of the drag of me and your father, no one wants to marry you, do you think my father and I can't be in a hurry?" The woman wept more and more. Qin Shuang'er seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and lowered her head to concentrate on eating. Boss Gao wanted to help them, but he didn't have much certainty, so he didn't take the initiative.
"Girl, after a hard day, I'll go wash the dishes." Boss Gao took the initiative to share the housework, but Qin Shuang'er hurriedly refused, "Where can I let the uncle clean up, I'm used to it, the uncle is resting." Qin Shuang'er was very quick in her work, and she cleaned the kitchen after a while. Boss Gao sat in the courtyard and looked at his sharp figure, and suddenly had a thought, if Qin Shuang'er was to be the daughter-in-law of her bastard boy, the ancestors of the Gao family would probably wake up laughing.
If Young Master Gao knew, he would be sold by his own father soon, and I don't know how he would feel. Perhaps no one will listen to him.
"Uncle, you can process it yourself early tomorrow morning, I still have something to be busy, if you are not in a hurry, just wait for me for two days, and I will be busy in two days." Qin Shuang'er is working in the landlord's house, and she is planting rice in the field these days, and she is very busy, so she can't ask for leave at all. So even if she had the heart, there was no way to send her back immediately. Boss Gao also wanted to go back by herself, but she didn't know the way. After thinking about it, he could only wait for two days to let Qin Shuang'er send it back.
Boss Gao originally thought that it would be boring in the countryside, who knew that the days would not be so difficult, and before he knew it, two days had passed, and this morning, Qin Shuang'er called Boss Gao up early, "Uncle, wait a minute, we will go to the capital, there is no ox cart in the village, we can only walk by ourselves." If we had walked faster, we would have been able to do it in the afternoon. ”
"So long?" I didn't feel so far when I came here a few days ago, but I didn't expect to walk for so long. "Didn't you say there were ox carts in the village? Why is this gone again? ”
"I went to the village chief's house just now to ask, the ox cart has already departed, I'm sorry uncle, I should have gotten up earlier." Qin Shuang'er was a little embarrassed, Master Gao glanced at the dark sky, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, the people here are afraid that they will set off in the middle of the night when they go to the city. Forget it, it's come to this, it's useless to care about so much. "It's okay, walk more, it's good for your body."
This day is the Lantern Festival, as long as you arrive in the capital before dark. After a simple meal, the two hit the road. Qin Shuang'er seemed to like this kind of journey very much, and walked for more than an hour in one breath, without panting, Boss Gao stopped and stopped, tired and sweating.
"No, I can't walk anymore, let's take a break." Boss Gao looked at the endless mountain road, and his heart was like ashes. Looking at Qin Shuang'er who was casual, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, "That girl, your physical strength is really good." ”
"I don't have to go to the capital for half a month, and it costs money to make an ox cart, and our family is poor, I can't bear it, and I get used to it over time. In fact, when I first started, I was just like you, uncle, and I was tired and sweating profusely. ”
