061 Filial piety

The next day, it happened to be a lively market in the capital of Tianyuan Kingdom, and Ling Jiantong was already bored in the Zhenguo Mansion, how could she miss this good opportunity to go out and play.

Since ancient times, the bazaars have been more or less the same, there are many people, you sell and I buy, it is a good opportunity to make a lot of money, and the vendors show how good their things are, while desperately shouting prices to attract the passing crowd.

Ling Jiantong was among them, holding a painting candy that he had just bought from a stall in his hand, walking in the lively crowd with grace, looking east and west, and seeing a strange thing, he did not rush to buy it, but thought about whether the Zhenguo Mansion needed it.

The Zhenguo Mansion has a big business, and the people who buy it think more than Ling Jiantong, and after walking around this circle, the silver in Ling Jiantong's cuffs has not been spent much.

But only half an hour has passed, and if you go back now, won't you have to suffocate yourself in a stuffy gourd again.

Ling Jiantong could only turn a corner again, thinking about buying something delicious to go back and kill time.

"Girl, girl, look at the sachets, right? The patterns on our sachet are all hand-embroidered by the best embroiderers in our own house, which is exquisite and beautiful. ”

The girl who sold the sachet recommended the sachet on the stall to Ling Jiantong, so that Ling Jiantong was embarrassed to ignore it, she could only take the sachet handed over by the girl, and looked back and forth a few times, this sachet was embroidered with a very ordinary mandarin duck, maybe she had been in the Zhenguo Mansion for a long time, this embroidery skill was really average in Ling Jiantong's opinion.

However, the fragrance is peculiar and full of good smells.

Facing the eager gaze of the girl selling sachets, Ling Jiantong was really hard to refuse, so she could only ask, "Girl, how much is your sachet?" ”

As soon as she heard the price, the girl's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed and said, "Five copper coins." ”

It's a pretty cheap price.

Ling Jiantong stretched out his hand and was taking out the silver, and suddenly heard a "bang" sound, and the stall that had just been fine was pushed to the ground in an instant, and dozens of sachets rolled down, stained with dust.

The girl who sold the sachet screamed, and then squatted on the ground in a panic and picked up the scattered sachets.

How can you say that this good stall will fall?

Ling Jiantong suddenly raised his eyes and saw several men dressed in sackcloth, surrounding the girl, with a contemptuous look on his face, and from time to time he kicked the sachet at his feet or simply stepped directly under his feet.

The girl was also real, and when she saw the sachet being stepped on, she was in a hurry and even tears fell, and begged the fierce man.

In broad daylight, you still dare to blatantly bully people, is there any royal law?!

The chivalrous spirit in Ling Jiantong's heart rose again, and she stepped forward and pushed the man away, the strength was so great that the man staggered a few steps coldly and almost fell.

The girl who sold the sachet was teary-eyed, looking very pitiful, she picked up the broken sachet with one hand, raised her eyes and looked at Ling Jiantong in disbelief: "Auntie...... Girl. ”

Ling Jiantong helped her up, then stared at the men and shouted, "Who are you?" I'm so impatient that I dare to bully people in broad daylight! ”

Several men looked at each other, and then said with a treacherous expression: "Who are we, do you need to tell you?" You girl, dare to ruin our good deeds, believe it or not, I will knock you to the ground with a fist?! ”

The girl saw the man waving his fist, and trembled in fright: "Girl, you go quickly, don't offend them again for me." ”

Ling Jiantong's head tilted, not taking the man's words to heart at all, but comforting her: "It's okay, these people can't help me, you can rest assured." ”

Those men saw that Ling Jiantong had no intention of backing down at all, so they were not polite, and they rolled up their sleeves and fought at Ling Jiantong.

Ling Jiantong snorted coldly, it happened that she had been suffocated in the Zhenguo Mansion in the past few days, and she punched her left and kicked her right, and she didn't have to make any effort to beat the man who was arrogant and domineering just now, and ran away.

Ling Jiantong looked at their figures, patted the dust on their bodies, and shouted at them: "Hey, next time my aunt and grandmother will accompany you to practice!" ”

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

And just now the girl was still squatting on the ground picking up the broken sachet, Ling Jiantong helped her pick up the last one, handed it to her palm and asked, "Do you know them?" ”

The girl held the sachet that couldn't be sold with rain, and nodded: "Thank you for saving your life, their group of people came to my stall a few days ago to make trouble and didn't let me sell sachets." ”

"Why don't they let you sell sachets because you didn't pay the protection money?"

"No, they inexplicably had to stuff the silver ticket into me, and asked me to leave the capital with the money, I don't know them, so I didn't take it, they just thought of a way to drive me away, if I didn't meet a woman today, Qiaohe really didn't know what to do."

"Qiaohe? So your name is Qiaohe? Ling Jiantong took Qiaohe's hand and asked carefully.

Qiaohe nodded, and then continued: "I am not from the capital, I came here just to find my biological parents, the first day I came to the capital and was helpless, it was the mother-in-law in the East Village who took me in, and my mother-in-law was sick these days, so I wanted to come out to earn some money so that I could see a doctor and take medicine for my mother-in-law, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing." ”

This girl is still a filial son.

Qiaohe finished talking about his life experience, and then said that he would ask Ling Jiantong to go to the house to sit down, and Ling Jiantong couldn't refuse, so he could only follow Qiaohe to the East Village.

On the way, Qiaohe used all the money on her body to buy a few pills, and then, after walking a short distance, she arrived at the home of the Wang family's mother-in-law.

Qiaohe pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, as if he had changed a person, and the gloomy clouds just now were swept away, and he was replaced with a smiling face.

"Mother-in-law, I'm back." Qiaohe hid the torn sachet in his coat pocket to the corner of the stove, and then pulled Ling Jiantong to the inner room, and as soon as he entered the house, Ling Jiantong smelled a smell of Chinese medicine.

This smell is too familiar to Ling Jiantong, every time he enters Situ Qiannan's room, he breathes in and breathes in this bitter medicine.

The mother-in-law of the Wang family was lying on a somewhat shabby bed, she raised her eyes slightly and saw that it was Qiaohe, so she squeezed out a kind smile, reached out to hold Qiaohe's hand, and said in a weak voice: "Qiaohe, how is it today?" ”

Qiaohe smiled indifferently and replied: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, the sachets are all sold out today, and I also used the money from selling the sachets to catch a few pills for my mother-in-law, you see......"

The mother-in-law of the Wang family raised her eyelids, glanced at the medicines, coughed a few times, and then inadvertently fell on Ling Jiantong, who was standing aside.

"This ...... This girl is ......"

Qiaohe pulled Ling Jiantong and introduced: "Mother-in-law, this is a friend I have met in the past few days, Miss Ling, she takes good care of my business. ”

Ling Jiantong lowered her eyes, just in time to see Qiaohe's desperate eyes, she was not an unreasonable person, she smiled slightly: "Mother-in-law, your granddaughter may have done it, the sachet is not only embroidered well, but sold better, you can rest assured." ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, a relieved smile crept up on her face, and she nodded again and again: "Miss Ling, thank you for taking care of my family's Qiaohe, thank you." ”

"It's nothing, mother-in-law, you're too polite."

In the courtyard, Qiaohe had to look at the medicine on the medicine stove while cooking the food, although she was very busy, but from her face, Ling Jiantong saw only calm.

"Qiaohe, how are your biological parents looking?"

Ling Jiantong suddenly opened her mouth, letting Qiaohe's hand chop vegetables, she raised her eyes and responded with a faint smile: "There should be a result soon, if you are lucky." ”

"Then if your biological parents come to recognize you and take you home, then the mother-in-law ......"

"Miss Ling, don't worry, although my mother-in-law and I have only known each other for a few days, I will not leave my mother-in-law alone, my biological parents recognize me as good, or if they don't recognize me, I will be with my mother-in-law." Qiaohe said this very seriously, Ling Jiantong looked at her eyes, and for a moment there was an indescribable illusion.

"Qiaohe, you are really filial."

In the face of Ling Jiantong's praise, Qiaohe obviously lowered his head a little embarrassed, and continued to play with the chopped vegetable leaves in an orderly manner with both hands and put them in the basket.

Ling Jiantong got up, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it in front of Qiaohe's eyes, Qiaohe subconsciously shirked it, but Ling Jiantong gently pressed her hand, looked at the inner room, and said in a low voice: "This is my heart, you don't have a burden, accept it." ”

Qiaohe's white fingertips curled up slightly, his eyes were faintly red, and his voice of thanks couldn't be smaller: "Thank you, thank you, Miss Ling." ”

Ling Jiantong saw her subordinates and smiled happily: "Qiaohe, you are a good girl, we will be friends in the future, if you dare to speak up if you have any difficulties, I just have no conditions, and I will create conditions to help you." ”

Qiaohe swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, smiled a little embarrassed, but muttered: "Before, I encountered a predicament that was even more difficult than this, when someone gave me a bun, thank Dade, even if it is for that benefactor, even if it is to abandon my life, I am willing." ”

Ling Jiantong frowned slightly, a little didn't understand the meaning of Qiaohe's words, she blinked, and suddenly Huo Ran was enlightened: "The person who gave you the bun is the mother-in-law, right?" ”

Qiaohe smiled indifferently and nodded, and when he raised his eyes, the tears in the corners of his eyes were about to overflow: "Yes, it's my mother-in-law, so I must cure my mother-in-law's illness." ”

Ling Jiantong patted Qiaohe's shoulder and comforted, "Yes, it will." ”

They looked at each other and smiled, then washed and cooked together, put the steaming meal on the plate, and carefully brought it to the front of the Wang family's mother-in-law, although the room was small, but the feeling of them eating together made Ling Jiantong feel more cordial, think about it, since she became an agent, she hasn't visited her mother for a long time, I don't know if she is okay in modern times?
