Hua Chu'er didn't believe that Chang Le could care so kindly, but because her words hit the pain in her heart, she became sad.

"I'll tell you seriously, when the time comes, let Zhang Changxiu arrange an experienced wife to take care of you. Aunt Rong is busy with housekeeping, so I'll just look at Aunt Diao. Although she is a little mean, she is still attentive to her master, and I heard that she has raised three babies, so she must be very experienced. ”

Chang Le took a sip of strong tea and arranged it seriously and thoughtfully. She came here today to see if there was any problem with Hua Chu'er.

Just in case, if Hua Chu'er accidentally dropped the child, and then planted the blame on her, then she couldn't explain it. She is now in charge of the wedding banquet, and it is inevitable that she will be in contact with the Hua family, and the relationship is inseparable, so it is better to take the initiative to care, and she can also leave a good impression in the hearts of everyone first.

Hua Chu'er had a look on her face, "Did Chang Le take the wrong medicine?"

"You are pregnant now, in our traditional Medri, the pregnant Hua Chuer is the biggest, I really care about you, and you don't take the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman. What about you now, take care of the fetus, I have already told the Taishou about reconciliation and separation, and I will give you the position of the main mother. However, for the sake of the reputation of the two of you, he wants to coerce me into holding your wedding banquet first. Chang Le sighed, trying hard to brainwash her, "So, you know what? As long as you raise the fetus well and give birth to a child now, the day of rectification is not far off. ”

So, don't mess around any more!

"Why did the mistress reconcile with the head of the house?" Hua Chu'er said suspiciously.

Chang Le shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "The old lady doesn't have the values of serving a husband." Originally, you were a junior, but now that you have a child, I am very disappointed in Taishou's feelings, and I don't want to continue to stay, waiting to see your family of three happy. ”

Hua Chu'er lowered her eyebrows, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't even say a polite word. In a place where Chang Le couldn't see, Hua Chu'er's eyes were complicated, and her hands were tightly twisted into handkerchiefs.

"Well, I've seen your situation here. Go back and transfer Aunt Diao to you. Your new clothes or something, pay attention to it at home, and Aunt Rong will pay more attention to it. It's going to be a wedding feast, and I'm probably going to have to come to see you often. You need to be prepared. Chang Le's last sentence was also said to himself, and finally looked around, rubbed his nose and said, "Your incense is too fragrant, and it's weird." I don't know if pregnant women can smell it, and if it will affect the child. I still have to let Aunt Rong check it. ”

When Hua Chu'er heard this, she unconsciously stroked her stomach with both hands, her expression was strange, revealing a deep sadness and unwillingness. I don't even know when Changle left.

……

On the seventeenth night of the first lunar month, a beggar boy died in the broken temple in the south of the city, about ten years old, and his neck was twisted and broken, and he was fatal with one blow.

Beggars were frequently victimized, and the city was terrified.

Zhang Changxiu ordered that all beggars under the age of 15 in and around the thirteen counties should be contained in the yamen and protected by additional personnel. He even found the lieutenant to borrow troops and surrounded the yamen.

"Stinky boy, where are you going!"

Chang Le was forced by Aunt Rong to go to the market and buy things today. When passing by the yamen, he stopped hearing the sound and followed the sound.

I saw that Liu San grabbed a chubby little beggar. To say that he is a beggar is judged from his image of unkempt and tattered clothes. But he was chubby, and he didn't look like he was hungry at all.

The little beggar looked at his teenage years old, clutching two large buns in his hands.

"Let go of me!" The little beggar struggled and screamed.

Liu San grabbed him by the shoulder and said, "Stinky boy, do you know that it is very dangerous outside now, as soon as you go out, you will be targeted by the murderer." ”

The little beggar didn't listen, and his round body bit Liu San's wrist as soon as he struggled, causing Liu San to shrink his hand and scream in pain. Taking advantage of this, the little beggar turned over and jumped out of the high threshold of the yamen and ran straight down.

There were also four soldiers guarding the gate of the yamen, and they just watched the play when they saw Liu Sanneng holding it. Now seeing that the little fat man was about to run away, one of the soldiers put his spear horizontally and stopped it right on the little beggar's knee.

The little beggar lay forward and fell into a dog eating, and the two buns were also deflated by him, and the meat and oil rubbed on the ground. The little beggar didn't care about getting up to see the pain on his body, but propped up his upper body with his elbows, turned his hands over, and stared at the deflated oil buns, his eyes red.

The little eyes looked left and right, and the officials were watching the play, so they immediately got up and ran away again. This time, without waiting for the next soldier to rudely stop him, Liu San had already grabbed his two shoulders.

"What are you doing?"

During the struggle, a woman's voice suddenly appeared, and the little beggar and Liu San stopped their movements at the same time and looked up at the person who spoke.

Liu San saw that it was Chang Le, and when he saw that she was displeased, he immediately said, "Mrs. Taishou, this little beggar wants to run." There is a murderer outside, and I can't run. ”

When he heard this, he frowned and said, "Boy, do you know that there is a perverted murderer out there who specializes in killing children like you?" ”

"You know, I'm lucky, I won't be able to touch it!" The little beggar sets his airway.

Chang Le saw that this was a bear child, and the fear of the bear child made her head hurt, so she rubbed his unkempt hair hesitantly, looked at his face and scratched the skin, and said very lovingly: "Where are you going to take the bun?" The bun is also broken, and if you want to run, you should change to two good ones. ”

"I'm going to find Grandpa, Grandpa must have not eaten for a day!" The little beggar stubbornly twisted his body, and still had to run.

"So that's it, where is your grandfather? You ask Uncle Yacha to take you to find it. If you have something, find Uncle Yacha. Chang Le looked at Liu San.

"Yes, you tell me, I'll take you to find it."

Liu San hesitated for a moment and stammered.

He didn't want to do it at all. You must know that once you manage one, you have to manage a group, and there are twenty or thirty children in the yamen now! They have even more beggars and relatives, how can the yamen take care of them?

However, Mrs. Taishou spoke, how can she not disobey it.

The little beggar was happy, shook his chubby head, and looked at Liu San happily: "Let's go find grandpa now!" ”

"You can't eat this bun anymore. Let's take some more food with you. Chang Le reminded the little beggar.

The little beggar glanced at the buns in his hand, hesitated, felt that what he was saying, and immediately raised his hand and threw the two buns to the ground.

"Hey, I don't think this kid is hungry at all." The ten-mile cry on the side blamed.

Chang Le, who saw this in his eyes, suddenly regretted what he had just said. He glanced at the little beggar, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and stepped forward to pick up the two broken buns that had become cake-shaped.

Shili took it from her.

Chang Le turned around, smiled at the little beggar, and said, "What's your name?" ”

The little beggar saw that her words were useful, and that she was a good person, and that she was helping him, and immediately said happily: "Little pebble." ”

"Pebble." Chang Le nodded, staring at him full of inquiry, "You're not a beggar, right?" ”

"Yes, I've only been in office for two days. My grandfather took my sister and me to visit relatives in Jiangnan County, but as a result, we were robbed, and we were exiled to the thirteen counties as beggars. And then I was caught last night. ”

Chang Leming understood, looked at Shili and smiled: "It seems that he was a son-in-law before, but he hasn't adapted to it yet." ”

Shili crossed his waist with one hand, and shook the two buns in his hand with the other: "What about this food, even if it is ruined, if you don't eat it, you can't throw it away, it's good to feed the chickens and pigs." I don't know how to cherish it now, and I'm afraid I won't even have to eat it in the future. ”

Xiao Shizi pursed his lips and nodded seriously: "Yes, I know." ”

"Alright, let's go inside." Chang Le asked Shili to hand over the bun cake to Liu San, and then wanted to go home.

Who knows, the pebble pounced and hung on Chang Le's lap, almost knocking Chang Le down: "Mrs. Taishou, you can go in with me." I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, they will bully me again. He won't take me to see my grandfather. ”

"Mrs. Taishou is very busy, I will take you to find grandpa, you little monkey will quickly get off Madame." Liu San went up to pull him in shock, and saw that Chang Le's skirt had been stained with oil and dirt, and he was even more anxious.

Xiaoshizi's fat body rubbed against Chang Le's body, and he couldn't go down. Shili and Aunt Rong easily stabilized Chang Le, and they also persuaded Xiaoshizi to let go.

Chang Le was helpless, so he had to agree: "Aunt Rong, you take someone back first, and I will go back after staying in the yamen with Shili for a while." ”

Aunt Rong nodded in response, and when she saw Chang Le standing firmly, she led the four servants holding a bunch of items back to the Taishou Mansion first.

"Boy, our lady has promised you, why don't you let go quickly?" Shili said helplessly.

Xiao Shizi immediately let go, pulled Chang Le's sleeve instead, and couldn't wait to go to the yamen.

……

The beggars adopted by the Yamen are all in the east courtyard of the Houya.

Twenty or thirty children jumped up and down, more nimble than monkeys. Roaring at the top of his voice, the entire Houya is more lively than the vegetable market at the east entrance of the city, like a monkey's nest.

There were six officials in the east courtyard, and they were caught everywhere, but they couldn't catch a splashing monkey, but they slapped their shoulders and smashed their heads on the back, and they were miserable. In the end, they were also tired, so they went directly to the gate of the courtyard and sat side by side, and asked one person to invite Sun Tou to come.

Only Sun Tou is fierce enough to suppress this group of splashing monkeys.

When Changle passed by, chickens and dogs were jumping in the east courtyard. The noisy shouts and shouts were mixed with piercing and sharp cries, and the children were dazzling as they ran around. No matter who you are, as long as you stand at the door, your head will definitely buzz and hurt, your chest will be suffocated, and you will want to run with a smear of oil on the soles of your feet.

In the courtyard, the master who heard the sound was trying to appease them. But they grabbed their beards, ripped off their clothes, and stood in place, dripping around, and the officials next to them were all hands and feet, and they couldn't save the master.

The two yacha guarding the gate of the east courtyard were already numb, their eyes were blank, and they came back to their senses when they saw her coming, and they hurriedly bowed their hands.

"I've seen Mrs. Taishou."

"You've worked hard." Chang Le glanced at them with pity, took a deep breath, and sent the pebble to Liu San's side, "You take him in to treat the wound, I'll wait for you outside." ”

While he was talking, a beggar girl ran over. About nine or ten years old, with big eyes, long and curled eyelashes, and a goose egg face with baby fat, like a porcelain doll.

"Brother, why did you come back?" The beggar ran all the way to the door, and when she came to Xiaoshizi, she saw that he was injured, and frowned in distress, "Brother, you were beaten?" ”
