Everyone was stunned, busy converting in their minds, Mei Changgui is Mei Xiaotong's fourth brother, the sister in Mei Changgui's mouth is Mei Xiaotong, the brother-in-law is Mei Xiaotong's man, Mei Xiaotong is Xiucai's lady, isn't that brother-in-law Xiucai?

Oops, I'll go!

Although these people in Yingzigou have seen a big boss like Zhang Yinbao, for them, they only know that this talented man is amazing, and he will be able to be an official in the future.

Those who can be officials are the most powerful! I suddenly heard that the talented old man stepped on the ground, and he suddenly didn't know how to react.

It was still Zhang Quan and Sun Qi, who followed their own owners and had seen bigger officials, so they only turned around and saluted An Huahao: "The little one has seen Song Xiucai!" ”

An Huahao nodded, didn't say much, just stepped forward and slightly blocked Mei Xiaotong behind him.

The talent of Yingzigou reacted, and they hurriedly followed the whole salute and made a fuss for a while.

After seeing the ceremony, Lu Xiaoshan asked: "Who are the Xiucai master and the Xiucai lady today?" ”

Li Dashan's eyes on the side moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "That's the case, my daughter-in-law's maiden sister was sold to people by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she was lucky to be bought back by Xiucai Niangzi and given Xiucai Niangzi as a girl." As soon as the Xiucai lady returned to Qilidun, my daughter-in-law's maiden sister begged the Xiucai lady to take her to see my daughter-in-law, isn't it-"

With such an explanation, many people behind Lu Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions slowed down a little.

It was Zhang Quan and Sun Qi who exchanged glances without a trace.

Lu Xiaoshan heard this, and then looked at Li Dashan, there was a little girl standing behind him, and he estimated that this was Li Dashan's daughter-in-law's maiden sister, who was looking at everyone timidly, and seemed to be frightened.

Busy said: "The Xiucai master and the Xiucai lady are willing to step on the cheap ground, which is the blessing of our Yingzigou." Don't stand at the door and say it, let's go in and talk about it! ”

said and made a gesture of please, and glared at the person behind him without a trace, before he said: "It's just that we are building a house now, and it's a mess, but we want to snub Master Xiucai is Xiucai lady." If we wait a few days, our new house is built, even if the Xiucai lady doesn't come, we will come to the door to invite you! ”

Mei Xiaotong was signaled by An Huahao to be half a step behind him, and followed Lu Xiaoshan to walk inside, smiling in his mouth: "I'm also worried about whether your house has been built." This time, I happened to have something at home, so I took a look by the way, and I went back to the city in a few days, but I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to come back to see it. ”

When these words came out, Lu Xiaoshan's shoulders involuntarily seemed to relax a little, and even his tone was a little more relaxed: "Mrs. Lao Xiucai is worried, our people in Yingzigou have a good life today and can live in a spacious house, thanks to Mrs. Xiucai!" Xiucai Lady is the great benefactor of our Yingzigou people! Guys say yes, right? ”

One echo after another.

"No, we can have today's life thanks to the blessing of the talented lady."

"Talented lady

It's our reborn parents! ”

"There is no kinder person than a talented lady, a great good person!"

"With the talented lady to bless us, we won't have to worry about it in the future! Xiucai Lady is so kind and capable, we will all count on Xiucai Lady in the future! ”

……

At first, it seemed to be genuinely grateful, but what I said later was vaguely different.

Mei Xiaotong had a smile on her face, but she didn't hear it, and An Huahao didn't move, but her eyes remembered the appearance of the people who spoke just now.

It's Mei Changgui, who has a straight temper, and his brain often twitches against his own mother and sister-in-law, as well as his daughter-in-law, but for outsiders, Mei Changgui is now very reliable.

Listening to the wrong meaning of this, he was originally a straightforward person, especially when this also involved his own sister, so he couldn't tolerate half a sentence, and his face sank at the moment: "What are you talking about?" How? My sister is kind-hearted, seeing that you are having a hard time, she has found a way out for you, but is it not here? ”

"Is my sister your father or mother? Your house is also going to rise, and you still have silver every year, the blessings that your ancestors have not enjoyed for generations, and my sister has let you enjoy it, and you are not satisfied? How to drop? Are you counting on my sister in the future? Is it that in the future, the descendants of your Yingzigou will be under the control of my sister-in-law? ”

"I'm not afraid of people's jokes when I say it, there are dozens of men in Yingzigou, right? Relying on my sister to start a good life now, she is a man, and she should live by herself in the future, why, can she still rely on my sister? ”

"I can tell you, there is no such thing in the world! Even if there is a reason for you to run into it? Don't think about bullying my sister's kind heart and tender face, just kick your nose and face and use yourself as a character! If you want to take advantage of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's family, you have to ask our old Mei family if you agree! ”

As soon as Mei Changgui's words came out, many people in the crowd changed their faces, and some people seemed to want to say something.

Lu Xiaoshan glared, but he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing that those people didn't dare to speak, Lu Xiaoshan burst into laughter: "Master Xiucai, Xiucai Lady and Mei family brothers, don't misunderstand!" We all remember the kindness of the talented lady, how could she do such a thing? Isn't that worse than pigs and dogs? ”

"It's that they can't speak, Master Xiucai and Miss Xiucai have a lot of them, don't be like their group of big bosses."

At the same time, he gave the crowd a look: "You still don't pay compensation to the Xiucai master and the Xiucai lady, right?" ”

It took a long time before two voices reluctantly sounded from the crowd: "It's because we can't speak, don't be surprised by the Xiucai master and the Xiucai lady!" ”

Nalu Xiaoshan made a gesture: "Okay, what are so many people doing around?" What are you going to do—" motioned for the men to leave.

At the same time, he looked at Zhang Quan and Sun Qi, and said cautiously: "How to build that house has to be watched by the two stewards, just have me with the Xiucai lady." ”

Is this posture to send people away?

Zhang Quan and Sun Qi glanced at Mei Xiaotong inadvertently, and now they were asking for her opinion.

Mei Xiaotong blinked, Zhang Quan and Sun Qifu were heartfelt, and they understood Mei Xiaotong's meaning a little, so they didn't say much, only nodded, saluted Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao, and retired.

After a while, only Mei Xiaotong, An Huahao, Mei Changgui, Gu Yu, Lu Xiaoshan and Li Dashan were left around.

Lu Xiaoshan glanced at Li Dashan: "What are you still doing?" Don't go and guard the door? ”

Li Dashan pointed at Gu Yu: "My daughter-in-law's maiden sister is here, I took her back, and now this has changed positions, and my sister-in-law doesn't know where my daughter-in-law is-"

Lu Xiaoshan glanced at Li Dashan twice and waved his hand: "Go and go back quickly!" ”

Li Dashan agreed, and motioned to Gu Yu: "Okay, recruit again, uh Gu Yu, come with me, I'll take you to see your third sister." ”

Gu Yu looked at Mei Xiaotong, although she was young and didn't know much, but this time she came to Yingzigou, she always felt weird.

Mei Xiaotong nodded: "You go, see your third sister go, and say hello to her on my behalf." ”

Gu Yu replied, lowered his head and hugged the package, and followed Li Dashan.

Here, Lu Xiaoshan welcomed the Mei brothers and sisters and An Huahao into a wooden house next to the cave.

There are several such wooden houses.

"Master Xiucai, lady Xiucai, this was originally for a few big stewards who came from outside, and the steward who originally lived in this room sent tea out, and this room was empty. However, the furnishings are new, and the conditions are better than ours, so don't dislike them. After Lu Xiaoshan introduced, he asked a few people to sit down.

"Wait a minute, we've been busy and chaotic here lately, everyone has something to do, and there's not even a person to boil water, so I'll go boil water." So saying, he confessed and went out.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao looked at Lu Xiaoshan's back as he left in a panic and shook their heads.

Over there, Li Dashan took Gu Yu to pick up the place where no one was, and the more he walked, Gu Yu couldn't help but panic in his heart, and plucked up his courage: "Sister, brother-in-law...... You, where are you taking me? What about my third sister? ”

Li Dashan turned around and made a silent movement, "You follow me, don't talk, it's almost there!" ”

As he spoke, he turned a corner again, and he didn't know how to drop, so he saw a small cave and got into it.

Gu Yu hesitated, looked at someone walking nearby, gritted his teeth, and followed in.

After entering, it was a little dark, and it was hard to get used to it, only to see Li Dashan's back, followed a few steps, and turned a corner, only then did it seem that they had arrived at the big cave where they lived before.

Following Li Dashan, he walked to a strange cave, the cave is not big, it is easy to enter alone, and the location is extremely remote, and there are no other caves nearby.

Gu Yu became more and more scared in his heart.

Fortunately, Li Dashan arrived in front of the cave and didn't enter

went, only whispered: "Daughter-in-law, it's me." ”

The cave learned that Suosuo had just poked out his head, who was not Yang Zhaodi?

Seeing Li Dashan, Yang Zhaodi put down the wooden stick he was holding in his hand: "Master, why are you back?" ”

His eyes glanced at Gu Yu next to him: "This is?" Again? What are you doing here? ”

Li Dashan looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "You sisters go in first, I can't do without people over there, go first!" Keep your voice quiet, don't alarm anyone! ”

Brother Yang nodded and said he understood.

Li Dashan turned back again, and soon left the big cave and disappeared.

Gu Yu followed Yang Zhaodi into the cave in a daze, and found that the cave was much smaller and more humble than the one they lived in before.

Before he could ask a question, he saw Yang Zhaodi sitting down against the stone wall, his ears pricked up, listening to the movement outside, and he didn't forget to hold a wooden stick in his hand.

Gu Yu looked panicked in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Third sister, what's wrong?" How did you move here? Is something wrong? ”

Yang Zhaodi poked his head out and looked outside, before beckoning to Gu Yu and motioning for her to sit beside him: "You be quieter!" ”

Gu Yu sat down next to Brother Yang Zhao, and listened to Brother Yang Zhao's whisper: "It's not those white-eyed wolves with no conscience, they are not satisfied with today's good life, and they have to toss." Toss, is it really a vegetarian when people show talents? It's really annoying people, they don't give it to a big man, and you don't have to reason with it! Now the group of black-hearted plum bastards, every night while the housekeeper left by the big boss of the family fell asleep, they were clamoring in the cave to find the Xiucai lady to share the dividends in advance! ”

"I can't sleep every night, and they almost fight several times, and your brother-in-law and I don't think it's a problem, so I made an excuse to move here. Your sister is now pregnant with me, but I can't stand their trouble. ”

After speaking, he scolded a few more words for killing a thousand knives, and then asked Gu Yu: "Why are you here?" ”

Gu Yu listened to Brother Yang Zhao's words, her heart was pounding, and when she heard Brother Yang Zhaodi ask her, she couldn't help but say, "I came with the lady of Xiucai." ”

"What? The showman is also here? Yang Zhaodi let out a low scream, but soon she covered her mouth.

"What's going on? Why did you come with the showman? Does the showman know something? Brother Yang hurriedly grabbed Gu Yu and asked.

Gu Yu shook his head: "I don't know!" I'm now the girl of a talented lady, she went back to her hometown to visit relatives and brought me back, saying that there would be fewer people who would come back to the county seat, and she remembered whether the house in Yingzigou had been built, so she took me to see you-"

"What do you mean that you are now a girl of a talented lady?" Yang Zhaodi is a very shrewd woman, and when she heard this, she immediately grasped the point.

Only then did Gu Yu tell him about being sold by his father and mother.

Brother Yang Zhaodi was so hateful that he knocked the ground with a stick: "Are you stupid?" They're going to sell you and you won't run? Not to mention anywhere else

, the third sister can always give you a bite to eat here, right? Why are you so obedient? If you weren't lucky enough to meet a talented lady, what would you do if you sold it to that pickled place? ”

After speaking, he patted Gu Yu a few times with hatred.

Gu Yu didn't dare to hide, so he took a few hits before he whispered: "If I run away, they will sell my little sister——"

Yang Zhaodi's clapping palm also stopped, and stopped on Gu Yu's body in a dejected manner, and it took a long time before he said, "Why are they so ruthless?" Could it be that only Zubao is their flesh and blood? ”

Gu Yu lowered his eyes: "We are all money-losers, only Zubao is their heart, liver and liver, and can inherit the Yang family's incense, have the third sister forgotten these words?" ”

Brother Yang Zhaodi smiled bitterly, he was used to the attitude of his father, took Gu Yu's hand, and asked carefully: "Is the talented lady good to you?" Adapting or not adapting? ”

Gu Yu replied honestly: "The Xiucai lady is very good to me, I am also very adaptable, the Xiucai lady's family is good to me, and she has given me a lot of rewards!" ”

Saying that, he opened the burden he was holding in his arms and spread it out in front of Yang Zhaodi, and by the light of the oil lamp in the cave, Gu Yu picked up the same things and showed them to Yang Zhaodi: "Third sister, look, this fabric was rewarded to me by the talented lady, I was not willing to use it, so I kept it for the child in your belly to wear." ”

"Third sister, this, this is the hairpin that the lady gave me, although it is silver, but you can see this workmanship, magpie Dengmei, a good omen, leave it for you to wear!"

"And this, there are a few snacks here, I don't want to eat them, I leave them for you to eat, you are pregnant now, I heard Aunt Wu and them say, you have to eat some good tonic body."

"Here is my monthly money for these two months, as well as the reward money, there are hundreds of Wen, and I don't have anything to spend over there, you can help me collect this money, third sister." If I have the opportunity in the future, I will ask someone to send the money, you will save it, and in the future, when the little sister gets married, you will use this money to buy her a dowry——"

Gu Yu arranged the things while giving them to Brother Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhaodi had a bunch of things in his arms, but he didn't feel joy at all, he only felt uncomfortable: "What about you?" What are your own plans? Do you really want to be a girl for the rest of your life? ”

Gu Yu wiped his eyes: "Third sister, what I sold to Xiucai Lady is a death contract." From that day on, I was a talented lady! As long as the talented lady needs me for a day, I will serve her for a day. As for the future, naturally there will be a talented lady who plans for me, and it will not be worse than at home. ”

Yang Zhaodi looked at the things in his arms, took a deep breath several times, and then said, "You are still young now, I don't know how powerful!" That's fine, you first carefully serve the Xiucai lady for a few years, and when you are older, when it is time to get married, my sister is cheeky to beg the Xiucai lady to redeem you! ”

Gu Yu shook his head: "Third sister, you are now married and have children, so worry more about your brother-in-law and children in the future." I know my business! ”

The two sisters said to each other

couldn't convince the other party, and after looking at each other, Gu Yucai said: "Sister, you will tell me about the matter of Yingzigou carefully, such a big thing, I have to tell Xiucai Niangzi, I can't hide it from her!" ”

Brother Yang Zhao gritted his teeth: "That's what you said." We have received so much kindness from Xiucai Niang, if we still hide this from her, we are really unworthy of being people! ”

At that moment, 1510 told Gu Yu everything.

It turned out that those who lost money in gambling and were chased by the gambling house came back and pulled Lu Xiaoshan to make trouble.

Now that this little month has passed, those people are making a fuss every day, inciting people's hearts, saying that the money has not arrived, and no matter how much they promise, it is all empty.

Only when the money is in hand, it is your own. Who knows what will happen in five or eight years? What if the talented lady turns her face halfway, or the tea business can't go on and loses money, and there is no money to pay?

It's better to take advantage of the current momentum, get the money they should take first, and no matter how much you toss in the future, you won't do their business anyway.

Besides, with this silver, what are you doing in the mountains? Go out to the town or county town to buy a house, and the local lord goes.

What kind of bitter hunter should he be, relying on the sky to eat day and night?

This remark touched many people, and those who were originally neutral, or who originally disagreed, have now been moved.

Originally, there were not many families in Yingzigou, only a dozen households, but now, those who ask for money account for the majority.

Those people also shouted to each other that they wanted to go to Mei's house to negotiate with Mei Xiaotong.

Lu Xiaoshan had no choice, so he had to excuse himself by saying that this Yingzigou is now crowded with people, and there are many people coming and going, so it is better to build a door and not allow people to enter and exit casually.
