Chapter 333, the old man who came to the door
Coincidentally, when Yan Yan was wondering if the female Huazi was the person she was looking for, Qingxiu came in and said that there was a mother-in-law outside, and a woman in her forties came to the door, saying that she wanted to beg for food.
"What day is it? How could anyone come to Mingyuan to beg for food? After Yan Yan finished speaking, he looked at Qinghe Qingbi.
There are many people in the capital who ask for food, but those people usually go to the door of the restaurant or to the homes of ordinary people, the street where Yan Yan lives is either the princess's mansion or the county lord's mansion, who is so bold and dares to come here to beg for food?
"You and Zhou Haisheng go and bring her a bite to eat, grab a handful of money for her, and then send her away." Yan Yan instructed Qing Glaze to do this, "If she doesn't say anything and leaves after eating, don't talk too much, if she wants to take the opportunity to stay, you can ask her again, what she did before, what she wants to do now, whether Mingzhuang has a farm to do or not." ”
Qing Glaze understood as soon as he heard it, turned around and went out.
After touching the work of a meal, Qingglaze really ran in excitedly, "Miss, Miss, I really let you say it, she wants to stay, she said that she couldn't have children, so she was divorced by her husband's family when she was young, but fortunately, her mother's brother and sister-in-law took her in, but what she didn't expect was that she helped her mother's brother and sister-in-law work hard to bring up her nephews and nieces, and also helped raise her grandchildren. That's why she begged us to take her in. ”
Lu You, who was on the side, had already been overflowing with sympathy when he heard this woman's life experience, but he couldn't understand that Qingglaze was so happy, and he was immediately unhappy, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand a few words, only to see Qingmiao ask first, "The old man is so difficult, don't you say that you help others, why do I look at you and gloat?" ”
Qing Glaze rolled her eyes, "No, this person is clearly a liar, what do you think, what kind of family lives on our street, have you ever seen someone who called Hanako to beg for food?" ”
Aomiao shook her head.
"Maybe someone made a special inquiry?" Qinghe was also confused by the green glaze and asked.
Qing Glaze slapped his palm and smiled, "Yes, you also said that you came to inquire about it, what day is it, don't you say you forgot?" ”
"What day, Miss's birthday." After Qing He finished speaking, he suddenly understood, "I know, you said that this person came from Miss Ben's birthday, thinking that Miss must be doing a few good things to accumulate virtue, so she took advantage of this loophole." ”
"But even then, you shouldn't gloat, right?" Qingbi asked.
She was also poor, so she knew the helplessness and bitterness of the poor.
"But this aunt said that she didn't want to go to the village to farm, she couldn't hold a hoe, and she wanted to stay in Mingyuan to do some light work. What's more, as I also said, there is no need to farm in the Zhuangzi, and there is also the work of feeding the chickens and cooking. Qing Glaze explained.
After Qing Glaze's analysis, Qing He also felt a little reasonable, but what they didn't understand was who sent this person, and what was the picture?
"Our master has never made a feud with anyone, how can anyone want to harm her?" After Qing He finished speaking, he looked at Lu You.
Thinking about it, there is only the Lu family, after all, if something happens to his master, the happiest person is the Lu family.
"Lady, you... Lu You reached out and held Yan Yan's hand.
He remembered the carriage accident last year, and his body shivered involuntarily.
"No, husband, you forgot that the emperor has already admonished the Lu family, and we have also moved out of the Lu family, the Lu family's family business has nothing to do with us, and Yan Yu is also pregnant, she will not be so short-sighted to make trouble for herself at this time." The latter "she" refers to the Zhu family.
Also, Zhou Haisheng didn't react at all, obviously this mother-in-law was not the person Yan Yan was looking for, but apart from that person, Yan Yan really couldn't figure out who would harm her.
"Then who else will calculate us?" Qing He asked for Yan Yan.
"I don't know. This person has a foreign accent, it seems to be from the south, he is not tall, his hands are very rough, he looks like he is doing rough work, but he is very soft, his clothes are very torn, and the stitches of the patches are very smooth and fine, I gave her a bowl of rice to eat, and the appearance of the food is not ugly, on the contrary, it seems to be very elegant. Also, I gave her a lot of money, and I knew to thank me, but I didn't kowtow. I didn't let her go, saying that I would ask me to come and beg the master again, maybe the master would be kind or something. Qing Glaze shook his head and said.
"What do you mean that your hands are rough and soft?" Qing He didn't understand the meaning of this, and squeezed his hands one by one.
"What this means is that this person has had to do rough work because something has happened in recent years, and he must not have suffered anything before." Yan Yan understood this, but what she didn't understand was why the other party had to enter the Ming Garden, what was this person's intentions?
After thinking for a while, Yan Yan didn't have an answer, so he simply ordered Qingyu to drive people away, and at the same time told the porter that this kind of person could not be put in in the future, and if she wanted to beg for food, she would give her a bite to eat, and nothing else would matter.
But who knew that after Qing Glaze went out, she came back and said that the woman still refused to leave, saying that she had done needlework here for several years more than 20 years ago, and now she had no place to go, and wanted to come back to find a place to stay.
Yan Yan was surprised when he heard this, why did an old man suddenly appear again, and it was more than 20 years ago.
"Take her to the hall." Yan Yan wanted to meet her in person.
A few minutes later, Yan Yan changed into her old clothes, except for the boxwood hairpin and comb on her head, there were no other ornaments, and a few minutes later, she and Lu You sat on the kang in the west room of the hall, and Qinghe Qingbi was waiting on the side.
Soon, Qingyu led people in, and the other party glanced at Yan Yan and Lu You sitting on the kang, and then at Qingbi Qinghe who was standing on the side, and seemed to be a little unsure who was the master, because the clothes on Yan Yan's body were older than Qinghe Qingbi, and his head was also bare.
However, after a little entanglement, the woman still knelt down and kowtowed to Yan Yan and Lu You, but she seemed to be very reluctant, and her back was very straight.
"Do you know why I'm seeing you?" Yan Yan asked and looked at the other party.
Judging from the behavior of this woman after entering the door, she doesn't seem to be a subordinate, and there is another point, although she is a beggar and her clothes are very shabby, her hair is combed neatly, but most of them are white, and there are many furrows on her face, and it seems that she has indeed suffered a lot.
Strange, who is this?
