Seeing Ling Xiang appear, Xu Shiqiu frowned and didn't have time to speak, Dong Shu, who was sitting next to him, had already taken the first step and asked, "Ling Xiang, why are you so flustered?" After saying this to Ling Xiang, Dong Shu hurriedly glanced at Xu Shiqiu, and saw Xianggong looking at him with a smile in his eyes, so he immediately looked at Ling Xiang and continued: "Say, what happened." ”

Ling Xiang was originally a little nervous when she just came in and felt Xu Shiqiu's unpleasant eyes looking at her, but after hearing Dong Shu's two words later and seeing the non-secret actions she made, she actually wanted to laugh a little.

"Son, madam, it's Sister Cuihua's sister who sneaked to report that Sister Cuihua's father and mother had locked up Sister Cuihua." Ling Xiang originally had a smile on her face, but as she spoke, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, "The servant originally wanted to bring Sister Cuihua's sister to Shihuanyuan to tell her in person, but she seemed to be very timid and didn't dare to come at all.

By the way, it was Mrs.'s cousin who sent the lotus, the wonderful girl of the Dong family. It was also she who helped the servant to inquire that she figured out what Lotus was doing and what Sister Cuihua was now locked up. ”

When they heard Ling Xiang's words at the beginning, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu put away the expressions on their faces, and when Ling Xiang finished speaking, Dong Shu quickly looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, when did Cuihua go back?" ”

"I'm to blame for that." Xu Shiqiu regretted a little when he thought of letting Cuihua take a day off and let her play for a day, "I didn't expect Cuihua to go home." ”

"I heard Sister Cuihua's sister say that it seems that her brother found Sister Cuihua and went home to ask his father and mother to bring relatives to arrest Sister Cuihua." After Ling Xiang said this, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu looking at her, and then continued: "Childe and Madame want to meet Sister Cuihua's sister and Miss Miao?" ”

"You go to the front yard to inform Xu Jie first, and tell him to bring the cuihua back safely, and then go and tell the lady's cousin to let her bring the lotus flower." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and added: "Before you go to Xu Jie, go to the main courtyard first, tell the old lady and the eldest girl about this, and see what they mean." ”

Ling Xiang also knew that Cuihua was about to follow Xu Yanzhu to the capital, and now when she heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she understood what he meant.

"Yes, the servant will go." After Ling Xiang said this, he turned around and went out directly, striding towards the main courtyard.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Dong Shu suddenly looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, do you say that they can bring Cuihua back smoothly this time?" After saying this, Dong Shu said nervously: "Cuihua's ten-year contract is still half a year away, do you think her father and mother will make any trouble?" ”

"Don't be nervous, lady." Xu Shiqiu knew that the little lady liked Cuihua, and she also knew that she had been thinking about Cuihua, "This time I just took the opportunity to solve the matter between Cuihua and her family at one time." Niang had an idea before, and now because of the relationship between Yanzhu, Cuihua will definitely be fine. ”

Listening to Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu raised her hand and touched her already bulging lower abdomen, and then sighed: "If it weren't for me being pregnant, I would have gone to Cuihua's house to support her." As she spoke, Dong Shu raised her clenched fist and waved it vigorously.

Seeing the little lady with such an expression, Xu Shiqiu smiled helplessly and dotingly, and then took her into her arms and comforted: "Don't worry, lady, Cuihua will be fine this time, and when the lotus comes, we will ask her." ”

Cuihua's family is in a village across the village from Xiahe Village.

Cuihua actually didn't plan to go home today, she didn't actually have much affection for this home.

When she was five or six years old, she came out to work to support herself, and in the spring of the year when she was nine years old, she entered the Xu family to work until now.

However, since Xu Shiqiu asked her to go out for a day to relax and see her homeland, she also understood that she would most likely not come back after entering Beijing this time, so she obediently went out for a walk.

It's just that Cuihua never thought that her younger brother would run from home to the junction of Xiahe Village and Shanghe Village to find someone to play.

Cuihua didn't expect that her father, who only had a younger brother in her heart, would say that her relatives at home would send more than a dozen adult men to tie her up.

At the moment when she was tied up, Cuihua wanted to escape back to the Xu family, but today she was stared at too closely and couldn't escape at all.

However, after she returned home, she said that she had moved her sister, who had been bullied by her brother recently, to report to herself.

"Do you see what they're doing to me now? Wait for the next one to be you. ”

"I am very favored by the masters in the Xu family, as long as you help me go to the Xu family to report the news, and when I leave the house, I will take you away."

"Think about it, did the second sister secretly come back to bring you something to eat before, if the second sister hadn't come back to see you several times, you would have starved to death."

"Lotus, do you want to live a life where you don't have to be afraid, as long as you report to the second sister, the second sister will take you away, and the second sister will definitely have no problem raising you."

"The second sister has the silver rewarded by the masters, and she will buy you a few acres of land as a dowry, so that you can marry a good family and be the master of your own house."

In this way, Cuihua said that the third sister Lotus, who has the most non-existent sense of existence in the family, and the lotus is also fateful, and as soon as she ran to Xiahe Village, she met Dong Miao who went out to wash clothes.

"I saw that she looked a little similar to the Cuihua you brought to the house before, so I helped bring her. Otherwise, she would not be able to talk, and would wander around the village like a fool, and it would be a while before she found it. Dong Miao sat in the courtyard of Shihuan Courtyard, sitting next to him who was holding a piece of dim sum and eating a lotus flower with her head down, and informed Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu about her discovery of the lotus.

"And I heard from my eldest brother that Cuihua is favored by you, so I wondered if she went to help you again today, so something happened." Dong Miao watched Dong Shu finish saying this, and hurriedly picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of water, "Since you already know what happened, then I'll go back first." ”

"Cousin, let's wait a while, wait for my cousin to go back when I go home, it just so happens that the big kitchen stewed meat today, and I will bring some back together, I have been busy with the opening of the county teahouse recently, and my cousin has also lost a lot of weight, and his leg has not fully recovered, but he needs to make up for it."

Dong Shu looked at Dong Miao and smiled embarrassedly after saying this: "Cousin, I have two sets of dresses made this spring, and I tried them once after they were done, and I haven't worn them yet, and now I can't wear them even when I'm pregnant." I will wait until next spring to produce again, and then wait until next autumn for fear that the color of the material will not be bright. If you don't dislike it, take it home and wear it this fall. ”

Dong Shu looked at Dong Miao's expression as she spoke, and after seeing that she was not angry when she heard what she said, she ordered Ling Xiang to fetch her two sets of dresses.

"It's a set of red embroidered with gourd auspicious patterns and another set of lilac embroidered with bat auspicious patterns, as well as a jewelry box engraved with gourd auspicious patterns on my dresser, you can also bring it."

After saying this to Ling Xiang, Dong Shu looked at Dong Miao and said, "I heard my cousin say a few days ago that my uncle and aunt have been talking to my cousin recently, and these two sets of dresses and a set of jewelry can be kept for my cousin to wear when she meets guests." ”

Hearing Dong Shu say this, Dong Miao immediately looked at her with a red face and said, "Shu'er, I helped bring lotus flowers, but I didn't want to ask for your things." The more Dong Miao's face turned redder, although the eldest brother learned literacy and accounting at the Xu family every day in the past few months, when the shop in the county was about to open two days ago, the Xu family gave the eldest brother a monthly allowance, and now she is embarrassed to take Dong Shu's things.

"Shu'er, if you can't wear your clothes, just give them to me, as for the jewelry, I really can't ask for it."

"My cousin doesn't need to be like this, and the jewelry is not expensive, just a hairpin and some small jewelry, which is not too valuable." Dong Shu had already prepared these things, and originally planned to let Cuihua take Ling Xiang to the Dong family in a few days, but now that Dong Miao was here, she naturally gave them directly.

"But ......" Dong Miao naturally likes new clothes and jewelry, but the eldest brother told her, and she also understands that her relationship with Dong Shu is still recovering, and she can't be greedy.

"Cousin, you really don't have to mind, you just don't want these today, I'll send them in a few days." After saying this, Dong Shu looked at Dong Miao again and said, "Cousin wants to say kiss, it's not good if you don't have a few pieces of jewelry." I heard that my cousin has a crush on the son of a grocery store in the town, although he is a year younger than his cousin, he has a good temperament and is also familiar with his cousin. ”

Xu Shiqiu saw that the little lady was talking more and more, and her cousin's face was getting redder and redder, she shook her head and looked at Dong Miao and said, "You just accept it, when the lady prepares this, your brother also knows." ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu spoke, the red on Dong Miao's face instantly faded and became very embarrassed, and after she looked up at him and Dong Shu again, she nodded and took the things that Ling Xiang had sent.

When she got home and tried on two sets of clothes, Dong Miao knew that these two sets of clothes were not at all that Dong Shu could not wear.

Because although Dong Shu has grown taller in the past half a year, she is still not as tall as herself.

Not to mention Dong Miao's deep thinking after discovering this after returning home, after Dong Miao followed Dong Lei home, Cuihua was also successfully brought back by the people brought by Xu Jie.

"The third son, the lady, the servant is back." Cuihua changed a set of clothes, and by the way, she also changed her sister Lotus into a set of old clothes that she asked other servants to borrow, "Third son, madam, today the old lady completely bought the servant and lotus, and in the future, the servant and lotus will be the servants of the Xu family." As she spoke, Cuihua took her sister Lotus to salute Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu.

Xu Shiqiu didn't ask his mother how much silver it took to buy Cuihua completely, and Cuihua didn't mention it.

Because both Xu Shiqiu and Cuihua understand that since Cuihua first knew what Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu were going to do next, Cuihua couldn't leave the Xu family for the rest of her life.

As for her sister Lotus, Cuihua is ready to take it with her all the time, and when she is well recuperated, she will make another arrangement.

Seeing Cuihua grow to the present state, Xu Shiqiu was very pleased, but he also understood that Cuihua was going to accompany Xu Yanzhu into the sea of fire next.

When Cuihua completely solved her worries and Xu Yanzhu finally packed up everything, Xu Xiaozhi also came back with the Jiang family.
