Shen Xue saw that Qiya stopped crying, approached her, and asked, "I don't know how old Qiya is?" ”

"Fourteen?" Qiya replied with a smile.

Li Shi was even more pity when she heard it, she originally thought that Qiya would be twelve or thirteen, "Poor to see." ”

Li Tong said on the side: "Miss, the name of Qiya, why don't you give another one." ”

Shen Xue also nodded on the side.

Li looked at Mu Bingyue, and saw that her daughter also signaled for her to get up, so she had to meditate on herself, and said for a long time: "Just call it Li'er, I hope that Li'er will be loved by more people in the future." ”

Qiya listened and nodded gratefully.

Li Shi said again: "Do you know what your surname is?" ”

Qiya hurriedly said: "My surname is Mu." ”

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and Li smiled and said, "This is really fate!" ”

Qiya's face was inexplicable, Mu Bingyue smiled when she saw it, and said, "In the future, we will be a family, and my mother will be your mother." ”

Li Shi listened to his daughter's words and did not object, and also patted Qiya's hand with a smile, "Yes, we will be a family in the future." ”

Qiya, that is, Mu Li'er, couldn't hold back her excitement anymore when she heard it, and hugged her head and cried.

Shen Xue saw that she was crying again, and she couldn't do it in a hurry, "Good sister, don't cry!" You're crying, and my sister is crying too. ”

Mu Li'er stopped crying, in order to have a son, the family has exhausted the family's resources, since she was born, she has always scolded her for losing money, and raising her is just to sell it for money. After she was sold, she didn't have three meals and was punished by others, and now she finally has a real family, and she can't help but be sentimental.

Shen Xue saw that she was still in tears, so she hurriedly took the snow fox and said, "What do you think this is?" ”

Li'er's tears were shocked at the moment, and she was surprised: "Why is the arctic fox here? ”

Shen Xue said nervously: "Guess? ”

Li'er looked at the people around her who were laughing, and shook her head blankly, "I can't guess." ”

Li Tong couldn't bear it, so he explained to Li'er, Shen Xue listened to it and laughed with her stomach in her mouth, and Li'er couldn't hold back her joy after listening to it, and said: "Shang Chun regards the snow fox as his life, and this time he has lost a lot." ”

Lian'er couldn't laugh first, thinking of Shang Chun's father-in-law's family, she couldn't help but be a little worried, "That Shang Chun's father-in-law is a well-known bully, I'm really afraid that he won't stop there." ”

The Li family was also worried when he heard it, Mu Bingyue saw that everyone's faces were solemn, and said softly: "It is Shang Chun's father-in-law who is powerful, Shang Chun does not dare to inform his father-in-law of this matter, you must know that Zhong Cui's matter, but it will really kill him, I think that Shang Chun is not a bloody person, it is too late for him to cover up this matter, how can he lift a stone and hit himself in the foot!" Mu Bingyue was indeed worried that Shang Chun would turn around and look for trouble, but after listening to what Li'er said, she concluded that Shang Chun would never come back.

As Mu Bingyue expected, Shang Chunping lost the snow fox in vain, although he was depressed and only wanted to kill, but he also knew that he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

That Shang Chun was thinking about how to go home to explain the snow fox, and Zhong Cui made his own assertion and asked Shang Chun to go home and tell his father-in-law to send someone back to snatch the snow fox back. Shang Chunzheng secretly hated Zhong Cui's trouble, and he didn't say a word when he heard it, but he had a murderous intention in his heart.

That Zhong Cui still didn't know, and tried his best to curry favor with Shang Chun, intending to save the game, but he didn't know that his road had come to an end.

Li listened to his daughter's words, and his heart did not completely let go, "Yue'er, otherwise let's rent a house close to the county master's residence." ”

The street where the county magistrate lives is inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are many patrols and guards, so the safety is naturally higher than elsewhere.

Mu Bingyue knew what her mother was thinking, but for the sake of long-term planning, she still decided to buy a house close to the bustling part of the market.

The sky gradually brightened, Li and Li Tong went to the stove early in the morning to work, Li'er couldn't cook because of a hand injury, Shen Xue was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so she accompanied her to tease the snow fox.

Shen Xue looked up and saw Mu Bingyue writing and painting on the table, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Miss......." ”

Mu Bingyue ignored Shen Xue's coquettishness, and wrote to herself, she was always timid at the beginning, and later saw that people were accustomed to Shen Xue's appearance of no big or small, and did not reprimand, she knew that the family did not have too many rules, but after all, it was her benefactor, she saw Mu Bingyue writing, so she wanted to polish the ink with her uninjured hand, who knew that she walked closer and looked, where was the grinding on the table.

Mu Bingyue saw Li'er walking up to her, staring at the words she wrote in a daze, she felt funny, and asked her, "Li'er is literate?" ”

Li'er hurriedly shook her head.

"Do you want to learn?"

Li'er looked at her in a daze, and asked stupidly, "Can I?" ”

Mu Bingyue smiled, "Of course, Xiaoxue has nothing to say about cooking and embroidery, but she doesn't like to learn calligraphy, if you like it, I will teach you another day." ”

Li'er nodded hurriedly, Shen Xue sneered on the side, Mu Bingyue glanced at Shen Xue helplessly, then took the eyebrow pencil and continued to write, Li'er was afraid of disturbing Mu Bingyue, so she had to go back to Shen Xue's side, and the two began to discuss the snow fox.

After a while, Li Tong cooked the meal.

Eight Dongpo elbows, wine-stuffed meatballs, steamed carp, coochewed meat, Liuyun puff pastry shrimp, ginseng chicken soup, scallop winter melon soup, Bazhen cake, lotus seed lily and red date porridge, a table full of tables.

Shen Xue saw that her index finger moved, and Li'er was also dumbfounded, and Li smiled and said, "What are you still in a daze!" They all sat down quickly. ”

Li'er didn't dare to sit down at first, she hadn't eaten at the table since she could remember, and she was in a hurry between the stoves to eat some cold rice left over by people, and the meat was rarely eaten.

When Li saw it, he pulled Li'er over and sat down, "Li'er, after I said it, it will be a family, it will be a family, come and eat more, that ginseng chicken soup is specially made for you, I will drink more later." ”

Li'er's eyes were red, and before she could be sad, she saw that the bowl was instantly filled with Shen Xue. She stared at Shen Xue with wide eyes, Shen Xue looked back at her, and her mouth was full of words: "After this village, there will be no such shop, hurry up, otherwise when you live the life of a nun in a few days, you will regret it." ”

Li Tong listened to her daughter's more and more unseemly, and hurriedly glared at her daughter, Shen Xue was swept by her mother's eyes, and was immediately silenced, and glanced at Mu Bingyue.

Mu Bingyue just didn't see it, sitting next to the Li family, she didn't know why, she thought that the family was not in a good situation, and she only had meat to eat during the New Year, so she didn't think much about it. After Li moved the chopsticks, she began to eat in small bites.

Mu Bingyue saw that everyone took good care of Li'er, and put her mind at ease.

After a while, seeing that everyone had finished eating, Mu Bingyue said, "Mother, I want to go to the county for a while." ”

When Shen Xue heard this, she shouted that she would follow.

Mu Bingyue looked at Shen Xue, "I'll just go alone." ”

Shen Xue wanted to say more, but she was coldly glanced at by Mu Bingyue, and her mouth was immediately deflated.

Li's face was hesitant, she knew that her daughter was a little different, but she still didn't worry about her going out alone.

Mu Bingyue knew that she was worried, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I may come back later"

Seeing that his daughter insisted, Li didn't say anything more, and nodded silently.

Mu Bingyue was approved and was about to leave, but Mother Tong hurriedly said, "Little Miss, this snow fox should be brought." ”

Mu Bingyue shook her head, there is no shortage of money at home now, and her father is coming back soon, so she doesn't need to prepare money to dredge, she wants to go out and try her luck first.

Mu Bingyue said goodbye to everyone and went to the market alone, although she came out early, the sun outside was still very sunny.

After Li sent Mu Bingyue away, he wandered around the house uneasily, Li Tong sighed when he saw it, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to go to the kitchen to look at the medicine.

Mu Bingyue went to several tea and liquor shops in a row, she was strong and healthy in her life, but she rarely had colds, but she didn't expect that she was so tired that she wanted to lie down after walking for a while. Mu Bingyue was afraid that she was sick, and she didn't dare to be strong, so she happened to see the tea stall where she had stayed, so she walked over.

The young man had a good memory, and he still remembered that Mu Bingyue had drunk tea there, and when he saw Mu Bingyue sitting down, he hurriedly brought a pot of tea.

Mu Bingyue was just about to pay, but the young man didn't accept it, seeing that Mu Bingyue was puzzled, he explained: "Little girl, I saved the weak in the hands of the wicked that day, so that the little one admired it tightly, and this pot of tea was small." ”

Mu Bingyue didn't expect this to be the reason, she wanted to pay the money, but when she saw the young man's look, she was afraid of saving his face, so she had to take the money back.

When the young man saw Mu Bingyue take back the money, he became happy, and when he saw that there was no one around, he sat down and said, "That little girl is fine." ”

Mu Bingyue replied with a smile: "Very good, Lang Zhong has already seen it." ”

The young man smiled and nodded, and was about to speak, when his face suddenly changed, and the man stood up from the stool.

Mu Bingyue followed his gaze and looked back, and saw a man in green clothes about forty or so walking over, with anger between his eyebrows, and he was already reprimanded before he arrived: "Okay, you little shunzi, have you learned to be lazy for Lao Tzu?" ”

The young man named Xiao Shunzi, when he heard this, hurriedly laughed and said, "Owner, isn't this no one?" The little one met an acquaintance again, so he said a few words. ”

The man listened, and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that you don't have any relatives here?" Where did the acquaintance come from? I ask you, can you collect the money? ”

Xiao Shunzi suddenly became uneasy when she heard this, Mu Bingyue saw it and quickly took out a penny, handed it to Xiao Shunzi and said, "I haven't finished drinking yet, so I haven't paid the silver." ”

Xiao Shunzi looked at her apologetically, took the money and handed it to the man.

The man took it, and complained dissatisfiedly: "I still pay for your wife's medicine." Give Lao Tzu a good job, or I will ask you to drink the northwest wind with your wife. After scolding, he went into the house and carried an empty wine jar and left.

Seeing that the man was gone, Xiao Shunzi looked at Mu Bingyue embarrassedly, Mu Bingyue didn't care, and asked, "I don't know what disease the eldest mother has?" ”

Xiao Shunzi listened and sighed, "My mother had a serious illness before, but now she is well. ”

Mu Bingyue saw that the melancholy between his eyebrows did not decrease, but it was aggravated, and couldn't help asking, "But what's the difficulty?" ”

Xu saw that her attitude was sincere, and Xiao Shunzi didn't want to be vague, "Hey! Four years ago, my father was conscripted into the army, but I didn't want to die on the battlefield, my mother suddenly heard the bad news, so she collapsed on the bed, and everything that could be sold in the family was sold, but I couldn't afford to pay for the medicine, so I sold myself to the owner of this tea stall...... The owner of the tea stall, who had only one son, and who was the same age as me, and would be seventeen next year, told me to take his son's name and apply for the ...... I'm not afraid of death, but I'm worried about my mother...... Although the proprietor promised to help take care of his mother, and although my mother can now go to the field and do some simple housework, I still can't rest assured...... "Although the matter of spending money to buy slaves for slavery cannot be revealed, it is still known to the public, so he did not hide it."
