"What nonsense, it's cold now, what if you catch a cold?" Qi Niang glanced at Ah Lan, changed the bedding for Ah Lan neatly, and carried the thin brocade quilt commonly used by Banniang to her bed, urging the two to get into bed, then turned off the lights and got into the futon herself.

Because the two beds are only separated by a six-open magpie climbing screen, which is not far away, and can be heard when speaking, Banniang asked Ah Lan about the matter of the Li family.

"How long have you been in the Li Mansion? How did you get out today? ”

"Back to Miss, I was sold to the Li Mansion by my mother, and it has been almost half a month, because the son of the Li family saw that I was still neat, so he wanted to go, I listened to the maids and sisters in his house said something, and I was very scared, who knew that Li Gongzi ......"

Ah Lan paused when he said this, the two young ladies of the Zeng family are not out of the cabinet, but some words can't be said in front of them, originally Li Gongzi asked her, so he had a different kind of thought, so he hid the past, and only continued, "Today, Li Gongzi just said that he came out to admire the moon, so he brought me out, and we talked very ...... Because I didn't obey, I was beaten on the way. Later, I met a little lady, and a few people from the entourage stepped forward to tease the little lady, I got the opportunity, and because my deed of sale was accepted by the big girl in the house, I saw it inadvertently, so I stole it out by myself, while they were torn apart with the little lady, I ran away, I didn't want to run a few steps, they found out, and then I also know, those people met you, I got that little space, hidden, because I was very scared in my heart, I saw you, and quietly followed you all the way back. ”

Listening to her words, Qi Niang sighed very much.

The fate of the daughter's family is not easy, it is good to be born in a good family, if you meet the black-hearted parents, it is really better to live than to die. Fortunately, no matter how difficult it is, their parents also hold their sisters in their hands like pearls. Poor Ah Lan was born so beautiful, this beauty, it has become a sin. What's more, how old is she? Then his son-in-law is not a thing.

I felt more and more pity on her.

Early the next morning, Banniang's body was not as good as usual in the morning, and she went to the study, because she was not suspected of being an official, so there was "Song Law" in the study, and she found it out and deliberately turned to the relevant human trafficking, only to know that the original Song Dynasty was forbidden to buy and sell good family members by fraudulent means. And all human trafficking must go through a dental intermediary, and it must be reported to the local government office to be legal. So Ah Lan said that her mother did not sell her through the economic hands of the tooth shop, and did not go to the government to go to the office, and now the deed of sale is in her own hands, and Banniang saw it in the morning and asked her to simply burn it.

In this case, even if the people of the Li Mansion find Ah Lan, they can't do anything to her.

But that's not the problem right now.

The bullshit son of the Li family is a bastard, if he knew that Ah Lan was hiding in her house, he would have to turn over the trouble, with the reputation of the Zeng family in Nanfeng City, people who want to come to the Li Mansion will not dare to come to the door to find trouble, but if there is one thing less, there is no need to make trouble for the father and brothers, it is really not good, just quietly send Ah Lan to her mother's uncle's house. Guzhuang Liu is very close to the city, she just has to go there in the past few days, and ask the father and son of the Liu family to help Liuniang make a few things to dowry, so it is better to take this opportunity to send Ah Lan over.

It just so happened that the second brother Zeng Zigu said that in the past two days, he would go to the tooth shop to find an economy and hire a coachman to come over, and when the time comes, he will take a carriage over, and no one will find out.

After reading the law in the study and relieving my heart, I went to the west courtyard to greet the old lady.

Qi Niang and Liu Niang have already arrived, and they are serving the old lady to freshen up. Banniang said yes, and saw that there were six mothers and seven mothers who were busy, so they went back to the main courtyard and went to the kitchen to help Wu prepare breakfast.

Because the brothers and sisters wanted to follow Zeng Ziye and the old lady to Nanyuanzhuang, Huang Bo had already gone to the car shop to hire a carriage, Liu Niang and Qi Niang packed up their things, had breakfast, and got into the carriage. When Gorou saw that she didn't go, and knew that she was going to the east of the city to find the old man Qiao, he didn't worry about her, so he simply stayed at home.

After sending Zeng Ziye and Shilang, as well as the old lady and Liuniang and Qiniang into the carriage, Jue'er, Gong'er and Jiulang were very envious, and they also wanted to see their fields. It's just that because there is no place to live there, it is very inconvenient to bring the old and the young, and the weather is getting colder, and I am afraid that a few children will not be able to take care of the recursive disease, so the eldest brother does not agree with them to follow.

Looking at the dejected appearance of the three boys, Banniang smiled and said: "After all, the land is placed there, no increase or decrease, and others can't move it, and when it comes to autumn, the crops are planted, and after the eldest brother and the second brother enter Beijing to catch the exam, we will not be too late to go, and at that time, maybe we will also buy a house on the grange, and there will be land benefits." Besides, our family's carriage could be used at that time, and we could go whenever we wanted, and it was only a day's journey back and forth. ”

When the three of Jiuro heard this, they became happy.

Gorou scolded with a smile: "Why don't you go to the study to study?" ”

The three of them ran away with a smoke.

Banniang looked at their backs and scolded with a smile: "These three little guys." He turned to Wulang and said, "Fifth brother, if the little merchant from last night comes to find him in a while, can you accompany me to Uncle Qiao's house in the east of the city?" ”

Gorou nodded and said, "If I stay, don't you just worry about you alone?" Go back and change into your clothes to go out, I guess the little merchant should be there soon. ”

Banniang just sighed, and thought that Ah Lan didn't eat much in the morning, so she went to the kitchen and brought another bowl of white rice porridge and a plate of pancakes, and went to the backyard.

Because Qi Niang's embroidery frame was placed in the corner of the wall, Ah Lan was idle, and after a closer look, he felt that his craftsmanship was not worse than this embroidery work, and it was not good to live in people's houses, so he moved the embroidery frame to the window, and embroidered it with his hands.

When Banniang entered the house, she saw her back facing the door, concentrating on the back of the flying needle. Walked over gently, put the porridge cake on the table, and said with a smile: "Ah Lan, come over and eat something." ”

When Ah Lan heard the voice, he stopped his hand and said with some apologies: "Miss, I'...... I had nothing to do, and I saw that this embroidery work could be done, and when I was here in the past, I also did some embroidery work every day to help subsidize the family, so I couldn't help but do it. ”

"It's still the same as before, just call me Sister Zeng," Banniang stepped forward and patted her back with a smile, and stretched out her head to see the petals she was embroidering, the stitches were dense, and the coloring was also very ingenious, and she couldn't help but praise, "Your craftsmanship is good, but it's stronger than my seventh sister's original embroidery, I don't know this, you can teach me when you go back." ”

In the past, those who were still in the neighborhood could call someone a sister, but now they are under the fence, how can they be called sister again? Ah Lan only regarded himself as the temporary subordinate of the Zeng family, so he didn't say anything, only smiled: "When my mother was alive, she was also famous for embroidering in Nanfeng City, how many people begged her to embroider large pieces, I just learned some fur, if Miss likes it, what do you need when you look back, I will help embroider." Where dare to preach Miss. ”

Banniang shook her head with a smile, and didn't dwell on the question of title, but only pulled her up: "I saw that you didn't eat much in the morning, and I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I brought some porridge and cakes over, it was quite delicious, you eat first." I went to change my dress, and I was going out for a while, and when I came back and finished eating, I took the dishes and chopsticks to the stove by the way when I went out. ”

"I'm not hungry." Ah Lan shook her head, where was she in the mood to eat at this moment.

"You have to eat if you're not hungry," Banniang glanced at her and persuaded, "Ah Lan, you are a good girl, what my sister values most is your strong and unself-giving character, and there is no way to talk about your affairs, with us to help you, there is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome, you just have to relax and live in my house." In a few days, my brother and I are just going to Guzhuang Liu, and when the time comes, I will send you to your uncle's house, and I won't let you go there alone. We are not at ease either. ”

A Lan from birth to the present, but only when she was a child, she went to her uncle's house with her deceased mother, although Guzhuang Liu is only ten miles away from the city, but her heart is also very worried, listening to Banniang said to send her over, she felt at ease, and her heart was warm for a while, and she couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes, raised her sleeves and wiped it, and smiled: "Okay, I'll go to dinner." By the way, do you have any clothes to wash? I'll go wash it when I get back. ”

Banniang shook her head with a smile: "If you want to be idle, just help my seventh sister do this embroidery work." I also have a few idle books at the head of my bed, if you have nothing to do, you can read them. ”

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, and sure enough, Ah Xiao said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to read." ”

Banniang hurriedly comforted: "It's nothing, I'll teach you when I'm free." ”
