"Almost." The little maid replied cautiously.

Yu Dai'er waved her hand and said no more.

Baihualou

Tong Xiaoya said excitedly: "Sister, your popularity outside is so high. Now people outside are saying that the first Oiran this time is either Liu Shishi or you. I think my sister is the most beautiful, and she will definitely be able to compare with that Liu Shishi. ”

Ye Ziqi smiled and didn't say anything.

"Sister, I heard that after winning the first oiran, there is a reward of five hundred taels of silver. That's five hundred taels. I've never seen that much money. ”

As soon as she said 'five hundred taels', the little girl's eyes became bright, and she could see the symbol of money in her eyes.

"Then when my sister gets it, will I give you the five hundred taels?" Ye Ziqi smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.

"Okay. However, I don't want too much, just give me five taels of silver to buy osmanthus cake. ”

It's really an easy child to satisfy.

-

In a dilapidated thatched hut, the Tong family's parents live in this place, and their faces are full of gloom and sallow. Tong Bucai leaned weakly in the corner, looked out of the door, and immediately got up when he saw a thin girl enter the door.

A few steps rushed forward, poured out the contents of her back basket, and saw that there were only some bitter herbs in it, and suddenly his face drooped, and he looked at the little girl with fierce eyes.

"You'll be out for half a day and you'll come back with all this stuff." Tong Bucai slapped the back of Tong Xiaoxiao's head in annoyance.

The child's snack hurts, and the eye circles are red.

"What are you crying about, your family will become like this, and you will cry like this." Tong Bucai scolded angrily, venting all the discomfort and dissatisfaction in his heart to Tong Xiaoxiao, who couldn't resist.

The child's mother spoke, "Okay. ”

The boy was silent.

The child's mother looked at Tong Xiaoxiao and ordered, "Go and cook the wild vegetables." Clumsy, why doesn't my brother dislike you. ”

Tong Xiaoxiao was aggrieved in her heart, but looking at her parents who ignored her being bullied by her brother, her heart was very cold, very cold, and so cold that she was chilling.

Tong Xiaoxiao went to the simple kitchen next door and began to boil water, while boiling, tears kept coming.

Why did the Tong family become like this, the matter is to say that after the father and son of the Tong family went to Baihualou to make a fuss, they thought about it and really went to sue the emperor, but they were thrown out after being beaten with a rod for fifty boards.

The father and son were completely dead and didn't dare to sue the royal court.

When they returned home, the creditor came to the door and forced the family to sell the house and a few acres of fertile land to pay off all the gambling debts.

The family was evicted from the village and took refuge in an abandoned house.

Tong Xiaoxiao was originally stopped by Tong's father to sell, but unfortunately he was too young and thin, and no one wanted him, so he had no choice but to give up. The family relied on Tong Xiaoxiao to go outside to pick wild vegetables to make a living.

As for Tong Father and Tong Bucai, they hid in the house to recuperate from their injuries, and Tong Mu's mother was furious and had been bedridden.

Tong Bucai said: "That dead girl, when I recover from my injuries, I will never let her go." ”

Thinking of Ye Ziqi, Tong Bucai's eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness.

At this moment, several black-clothed people appeared in the thatched hut, and when the Tong family saw them, they subconsciously shrank back. The few people in front of him are not easy to mess with at first glance.

The man in black at the head looked at the embarrassed family of three in front of him, "Are you the family of Miss Qiqi?" ”
