Chapter 122: Take-in
Xu Qingyan saw that these children should be orphans, so she took them in. But before she could speak, she saw the little girl with a two-year-old child rushing out.
Li Xiaohua hugged her two-year-old sister and kowtowed to the Xu family: "Don't drive us away, don't drive us away, we really have nowhere to go, please, please." ”
Seeing that the child was only five years old, Hu Shi felt very uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Don't hurry, don't hurry, you get up quickly." ”
Xu Qingyan saw that the girl didn't seem to hear Hu's words, and she was still kowtowing vigorously, stepped forward to pull her up, and took the child in her hand.
Li Xiaohua didn't want to give it, but Xu Qingyan had too much strength, she didn't pay attention, and her sister was hugged by her.
Xu Qingyan glanced at the other children crowded in the corner again, "How did you get together in this Zhuangzi?" ”
"We said so, will you just let us stay?" Weng's angry voice came from the child who held his knees with his hands and buried his head.
Xu Qingyan couldn't tell from her voice that they were girls or boys.
"Yes, I'll let you stay as long as you say so."
"Then you are not allowed to go back." Weng Sheng's angry voice came again, and there was some expectation in his tone.
"Okay, no regrets." Xu Qingyan said slowly.
After getting Xu Qingyan's answer, the child slowly raised his head, and saw a small face full of cyan lines, which looked like a spider web hanging on his face, and the spider web was still blue and black.
Seeing this, Hu Shi and the others couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah....."
Xu Qingyan had been mentally prepared before this, and there must be a reason why the kid was reluctant to raise his head, so the reaction was not as big as that of the Hu family.
But even though she was mentally prepared, when she really saw it, it also shocked her.
Li Yan saw Xu Qingyan's reaction, her heart was gloomy, she knew that it would be this kind of reaction, and immediately they would show disgusted expressions, and then drive them out.
Li Yan stood up and was about to take the other children away, but Xu Qingyan asked, "What's going on with your face, is it poisoned?" ”
Just as he was about to pull someone's hand, Li Yan said in a low voice: "Yes." ”
Xu Qingyan nodded, in fact, whether it was poisoning or birthmarks, she had a way.
If it is a birthmark, you can use a descent, and if it is poisoned, you can try a detoxification charm.
Xu Qingyan took out a bottle of detoxification talisman water from her arms, handed it to Li Yan and said, "I have a bottle of medicine here, maybe it can cure your poison, by the way, how long have you been poisoned?" ”
Li Yan looked at the bottle of medicine handed to her, her nose was sore, tears almost fell, she took the bottle and said in a trembling voice: "It's been six years." ”
When Xu Qingyan heard this, she nodded and said, "Six years is quite a long time, but I shouldn't be afraid of this medicine." ”
Li Yan clenched the bottle and said, "Miss Xie gave the medicine, whether it can be cured or not, Li Yan will remember this kindness." ”
"The outside door is locked, how do you get in and out on weekdays?" Xu Qingyan was very curious about this question, there was no food in this Zhuangzi for them to survive, and it was impossible for them not to leave the Zhuangzi.
When Li Yan heard this, her face turned red and said, "There is a.... Dog hole. The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.
That night, Xu Guanghua took a carriage to the county seat to buy dozens of steamed buns, and then the family went to the county seat to stay.
That night, Xu Qingyan kept thinking about that group of children, how to place them, it was definitely unrealistic to send them to the official, there was no welfare home in ancient times.
Moreover, Lord Wu is about to be promoted to the prefect of Xincheng after the New Year, and the new county magistrate doesn't know how.
Those children obviously have no parents, even if their parents are still alive, it probably doesn't matter, otherwise they wouldn't be like that.
The next day, Xu Qingyan went to the ready-to-wear store to buy several pieces of cotton cloth, and went back to ask her mother and aunt to make a few clothes for the children.
When the family arrived, Xu Qingyan told them her thoughts, and the Xu family agreed after hearing it, and taking in more than a dozen children is not a problem for the Xu family today.
When I came to Zhuangzi again, as soon as the gate opened, I saw the group of children standing inside the door, smiling at them.
Xu Qingyan looked at their happy smiling faces, her nose was sour, and this group of children didn't know how long they had been standing here.
Xu Qingyan snorted, "We're going back today, are you willing to go back with me." ”
"Yes, we are willing to go back with Miss, as long as we can follow Miss, we are willing to sell ourselves into slavery." Li Xiaohua said crisply.
Xu Qingyan did not refuse their offer to sell their bodies, she knew that if she wanted to take them in, she would have to let them sell her bodies, because if they didn't, they would only cause countless troubles.
First, without a deed of sale, she may be charged with illegal trafficking.
Second, some of them still have parents alive, but what kind of good thing can parents who can abandon their children, if they know that the abandoned child is now accepted, maybe they will use this to blackmail her.
Third, blindly giving will only raise a white-eyed wolf, she doesn't want to be stabbed in the back if she does a good deed.
Based on the above three points, the deed of sale is still necessary, and if they have any interest in the future, she will also return the deed of sale to them.
Xu Qingyan asked her father to send the Cao family back first, and then come back to pick up this group of children, she was waiting here.
Xu Guanghua nodded, and brought back a few cotton horses that Xu Qingyan bought, he knew that these cloths must have been bought for those children, how kind Ayan's heart was, he still knew it as a father.
Xu Qingyan took the second girl in Li Xiaohua's arms, a seven-year-old child, holding a two-year-old child all day long, she must be very tired.
Xu Qingyan originally thought that she was five years old, but when asked, she was seven years old, but she really looked as old as a five-year-old child, but also, begging for a life under her stepmother, it is strange that she can grow well.
Li Xiaohua and her sister Erniu escaped, her mother died after giving birth to Erniu, and within a year, Li's father married her stepmother, and her stepmother became pregnant only two months after entering the door.
The stepmother took advantage of this incident to say that the family couldn't afford to raise so many children, and she wanted to sell Li Xiaohua, but her father agreed for the child in the stepmother's womb.
According to Li Xiaohua's young age, it is impossible to sell it to others as a subordinate, so it can only be sold to a kiln that has cultivated Qingqi since childhood.
Li Xiaohua overheard this, so she ran out of the house with her younger sister, who was less than two years old, she knew that she was sold for a while, and her sister would definitely not live if she was so young.
When her mother died, she was asked to take care of her sister, and she agreed to her mother.
In fact, Li Xiaohua's flower is a small village not far from the outskirts of the city, a seven-year-old child, how far can a two-year-old child run, but her father was stunned and didn't even come out to look for it, otherwise how could he not find such a little road.
As long as Xu Qingyan thought of this, she felt astringent, Sister Li Xiaohua had such a father, it was really .....
The other children have been orphans for as long as they can remember, and they don't know where they live or who their parents are.
Xu Qingyan looked at a large barren field, and an idea slowly sprouted in her heart.
This Zhuangzi will be called Le'an Hall in the future, and if you encounter orphans in the future, you will be placed here, there are 500 acres of fields, as long as you plant crops, it is enough to feed nearly 1,000 people.
Now that she has the title of county lord on her head, it is much easier to do things, and she has always remembered the saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
