The next day, the family prepared to go to Bai's house for a banquet. After all, she was a guest, and Widow Lin specially made some egg scones for the Bai family to bring.

Bai Huiniang greeted guests at the door of the house early. When I entered the Bai family, I saw that several strong men who helped Bai Huiniang come out that day were also there. Bai Huiniang introduced with a smile: "These are all my cousins, who are here to accompany the male guests today." Let's have a separate table for our female guests. ”

Everyone greeted each other, and Bai Huiniang led the girls to the women's table. Both tables are set up in the hall, but there is a large screen in between. The figure is still vaguely visible.

Bai Huiniang's third cousin, Lian Quanqing, looked at the shadow of Jiao Niang's shadow on the screen and was stunned. He had never seen such a good-looking girl in Luoxi Town. It wasn't until the eldest cousin gave him a kick that he came back to his senses.

Bai Huiniang toasted everyone first and said, "I won't say much if I thank you, if there is anything I can help in the future, I will definitely be asked to help." ”

Widow Lin said: "As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and don't be polite if the lady needs us in the future." ”

As if feeling nostalgic, Bai Huiniang's eyes were red after two glasses of wine: "I am now a well-known vicious woman in ten miles and eight towns, and it is rare that a few people are not disgusted and willing to be close to me." ”

"I think Sister Bai did the right thing. For the women of the world, she is a heroine among women! Jiao Niang got up and added wine to Bai Huiniang, and her words were full of praise for Bai Huiniang.

Widow Lin also advised: "Other people's eyes are very important. I have been widowed for many years, with wishful thinking, what gossip has not heard? Life is lived by yourself, as long as you live comfortably, why care what others say? ”

"It is better to be such a vicious woman than to be a resentful woman." Lin Ruyi is shy by nature, and she actually has such an insight, which immediately impressed Jiao Niang and others.

"A few people with extraordinary knowledge are the heroes in our fat powder pile, Bai Huiniang will give you another drink!"

The female guest was very lively here, and several cousins on the male guest's side toasted Xin Ping one after another, and Xin Ping was already too drunk to drink. When the banquet was over, Bai Huiniang's cousin helped send Xin Ping home.

Xin Ping was very drunk, and Lin Ruyi took care of Xin Ping and Xin An at home. The stall had to be set up by Jiao Niang and Widow Lin.

As soon as the stall was set up, some regular customers gathered around. There is one less person, Jiao Niang and Widow Lin are very busy, and at this time, there is actually a person to help, it turns out that Lian Quanqing. He didn't say a word to help wash the dishes and wipe the table, and the bluffing lady and Widow Lin looked at each other.

"Brother Lian, sit down, what do you want to eat? I'll have to wash these in a moment. Jiao Niang hurriedly asked Lian Quanqing.

"Sister Jiao, you don't have to worry about me. It was Hui Niang who was afraid that you would not be able to do so, so she asked me to help. Lian Quan smiled innocently, still bowing his head to wash the dishes.

Jiao Niang couldn't help it, so she had to say: "There is Brother Lao Lian." ”

After saying these few words to Jiao Niang, Lian Quanqing's heart felt like drinking honey, and he washed the dishes even harder.

This time, the things in the Xin family's shop were sold out again, and even the wonton soup base was drunk. The crowd dispersed, and even after cleaning the last bowl, Jiao Niang hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.

It turned out that Jiao Niang and Widow Lin couldn't help it, and quietly left a bowl of hot and sour noodles and egg scones for Lian Quanqing. Wait until the crowd disperses before bringing it out for Lian Quanqing to eat.

Lian Quanqing doesn't eat this kind of market snack on weekdays, but this is made by Xin Jiaoniang herself, how can he not eat it?

"I didn't expect it to be so delicious, no wonder it sold so well." Even Quanqing wiped his mouth after eating, and said unfinished.

"Thank you so much today. I heard Hui Niang say that you are a fast catcher? Widow Lin wiped the table and asked casually.

Lian Quanqing nodded: "My father used to be a catcher in Luoxi Town, and I took over from him." ”

"Then you've ever been married." Widow Lin asked again.

"Self-...... Naturally, it never was. Lian Quanqing was asked by Widow Lin like this, his face turned red, and he glanced at Jiao Niang.

"It's not too early, I'll take my leave first." Seeing that Jiao Niang had no special expression, Lin Quanqing couldn't help but be a little disappointed, seeing that it was not too early, Lin Quanqing got up and said goodbye.

After Lin Quanqing left, Jiao Niang asked Widow Lin why she asked if there was a marriage match, and Lin Quanqing was scared and left.

Widow Lin then said, "You don't know. Whenever the media says kiss, first of all, you must ask whether the other party is married. There was a girl in our village who was deceived before, and that person had become a family in the town, but he didn't tell the girl. The girl did not want to be a concubine, so she threw herself into the river and died in shame. ”

"There are such evil things. And what about the deceitful man in the end? Jiao Niang thought about it, this seems to be the current "being a junior".

Widow Lin put away the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the basket, and said nonchalantly: "In the end, that man is still doing well." ”

"It's not fair." Jiao Niang muttered.

Xin Ping was not there, and Widow Lin and Jiao Niang were really tired carrying two baskets by themselves. So much so that Xin Ping was woken up by Jiao Niang early in the morning, saying that he was going to the market to buy a cart.

The brother and sister came to the market, but they couldn't find a place to sell carts. After being pointed out, it turned out that the carts were all sold in Dongmaze Lane.

Nine bends and eighteen bends came to the East Maze Alley, and Jiao Niang found that this East Maze Alley was quite mysterious. There are not only ordinary groceries bought, but also knives, illicit salt, and even people.

Just like selling vegetables, the sold slaves sat on the ground with chains, and the boss sat in the stall behind them. And, of course, a couple of thug-like strong men.

Xin Ping hurriedly bought a cart and wanted to take his sister away from this place of right and wrong. As a result, Jiao Niang squatted in front of the slave and didn't leave!

"Brother, I want to buy someone." Jiao Niang turned her face to look at Xin Ping, with a pleading voice on her face.

Xin Ping found out that the slave in front of Jiao Niang was a little boy, his mouth was white, his body was covered with whip wounds, and even his clothes were in tatters and he was lying on the ground trembling. It seems that if you don't save him today, he shouldn't be able to.

"How do you sell this slave?" Xin Ping pointed to the little slave and asked the stall owner.

"Miss Childe has a good eye, this is from the north. Look at how good this little face looks like, fifty taels! The stall owner showed a lewd smile for a long time and stretched out five fingers.

Xin said indifferently: "Jiao Niang, let's go, what are we going to do when we buy a sick slave and go back?" I have to take it to the hospital for treatment, and I don't know if I can live. ”

Jiao Niang nodded and stood up, the stall owner was anxious when he saw it, he was finally able to sell this tricky goods, he couldn't let people go like this.

"Childe, I see that you bought it sincerely. You make an offer! The stall owner stopped the Xin family brothers and sisters.

Xin Ping smiled and stretched out five fingers: "Five taels." ”

In the end, the brothers and sisters of the Xin family pushed the cart and took the boy out of the East Maze Alley and went straight to the medical hall.

bought more than a dozen medicines for the boy and prescribed some external medicines, and Jiao Niang went home again to hug a thick quilt and cover the boy. The brother and sister pushed the boy home.
