Chapter 103 - Finding Someone Missing

Yu Xia pulled Yu Chun into the house and took out a wooden box from his arms.

"Eldest sister, this is a gift for you, open it and see if you like it!"

Yu Chun was thinking about what to add to dinner to welcome his sister home, when he heard Yu Xia say this, he was stunned, and when he raised his eyes, he saw her looking at him with anticipation, so he took the wooden box according to his words.

"You're a good guy, and you can bring me a gift back when you go out." Yu Chun teased, his subordinates neatly opened the wooden box, casually skimmed his eyes, and immediately widened his eyes, and he was speechless for a moment in surprise.

"This is a peony hairpin?"

The golden peony flowers bloomed one after another, shining with golden light, and Yu Chun's eyes were full of amazement.

Yu Xia was also happy when he saw that Yu Chun liked it, and said with a smile, "Yes, I said earlier that I would buy you twelve stacks of peony golden hairpins, but I didn't expect it to be cashed out so soon." ”

Yu Chun took the hairpin and looked at it, and couldn't put it down, but this joy didn't last long.

"Second sister, tell me honestly," Yu Chun's expression became serious, "How did this hairpin come from." ”

Yu Chun naturally knew that Yu Xia would not do anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs, and it was not known that he would go to the county government to help the big man do things, but this thing was too valuable, and his sister should not accept it and take it home.

When Yu Xia saw Yu Chun like this, she knew that she wanted to go wrong, and immediately explained with a smile, "Eldest sister, don't worry, I bought it myself, didn't I go to help Master Wen work, it can be regarded as a great achievement, and I have won a lot of silver." ”

Yu Chun's face didn't soften when she heard her say this, but just asked, "How much reward did you get?" How much did you buy this hairpin? ”

Yu Xia already had ten taels of silver around him for the last abduction of children, plus the honorarium given by He Sui's family and Master Li Tong Li later, adding up to more than five hundred taels of silver, and the few days to buy gifts for his family were less than one hundred taels, and now there are four hundred and thirty-two taels left.

Hearing Yu Chun ask like this, Yu Xia knew that it was impossible to report to his family truthfully.

Not to mention the evil matter this time, she confiscated the reward of the county government at all, just saying that a girl ran to help people and got more than 500 taels of silver in a blink of an eye, no one would believe it.

Yu Xia pulled Yu Chun's arm and coquettishly, "Ah, eldest sister, people have been out for so long and finally come back, why are you so fierce." I've done the county government a great favor, if it weren't for this help, why would the county magistrate invite me to go, there are more literate readers in our county. ”

Yu Xia pouted a little aggrieved, "Eldest sister, you have always taken care of me, and I also want you to live a good life." This time, the county government finally had a place where I could be used, and the county magistrate was kind and kind, and gave me three hundred taels of silver, in addition to buying gifts for you, there are more than two hundred taels left. ”

The same statement, when Yu Dayou and his wife came back, Yu Xia said it again.

Yu Dayou and his wife looked at the more than two hundred taels of silver on the table, and their expressions were a little complicated.

The two husband and wife and Yu Chun, who were in charge of the house early, worked day and night to make the family well, and now, the frail second daughter, who has been pampered at home, has earned a huge sum of three hundred taels of silver in just ten days.

This......

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull, only the sound of Yu Xia and Yu Xian eating.

Yu Xian swallowed a mouthful of food, looked up at his father and eldest sister with uncertain expressions, and was a little puzzled.

"Isn't it a good thing that the second sister can earn so much money? Last time, I earned fifty taels of silver for the Ganoderma lucidum! This shows that our family has begun to transship! Also, I said earlier that the second sister has great skills, otherwise why would Mr. Song prefer not to restrain his second sister to go to the school to study! ”

Yang Cuilian looked at Yu Xia for a long time when she heard this, maybe what her youngest son said was right, but she was still young and didn't think much about it, so she only looked at the surface. After many years of poverty, everyone wants to live a good life, and it is naturally good to have money.

But the second daughter, who has always been little and doesn't give birth to anything, suddenly took out so much silver, anyone will have doubts and uneasiness, right?

Yu Xia said that the silver was a reward because she helped the county commander a lot, and Yu Dayou and his wife couldn't believe it, is this really their second daughter who has been worried about since she was a child?

After Yu Xian's words fell, the room was still a little quiet, Yu Dayou and Yang Cuilian frowned, staring at Yu Xia, who seemed to be familiar on the outside, at this time, Yu Chun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Dad, mother, the second sister does have great skills! At that time, Mr. Song said that it was possible for the second sister to enter the court as a female official in the future, but now it is only three hundred taels of silver, so there is nothing to panic about. And didn't you notice that after ten days of not seeing, the second sister turned white? ”

Yu Xian rolled his eyes when he heard this, he found out as soon as he saw the second sister, and as a result, the others patronized the money......

Yu Dayou and his wife came back to their senses and stared at Yu Xia carefully. I haven't seen her for many days, but the second girl has lost weight, but she looks more energetic, and her complexion is really as Yu Chun said, whiter.

It used to be a dull black, but now it is brighter, and her facial features are clearer, at first glance, she is just an ordinary little girl with a slightly dark complexion.

In the end, Yu Dayou made a conclusion about the matter of the silver, "We should believe the second girl, the county commander came to invite us in person that day, we all saw it with our own eyes, we are all mud-legged and uneducated, maybe the second girl really has the ability to make the nobles value." ”

Speaking of this, Yu Dayou's expression became relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Before, we delayed the repair of the house because of the clan study constraints, but now it's good, with so much silver, Xiaoxian doesn't have to worry about the problem of going to school, our family can be regarded as able to repair a brick house!" ”

The three sessions that Yu Xia faced were spent without danger, and the family resumed laughter and laughter, and they were extremely harmonious, and they had more beautiful yearning for the future life.

Early the next morning, Yu Xia went to the school with Yu Xian, and when he arrived outside the door, Yu Xia asked Yu Xian to go in first, and he wanted to talk to Chen Daoren to say a few words.

Yu Xia touched the black jade gourd hanging around his neck, and stretched his neck towards the gatehouse to find Chen Daoren's figure, and a man in his thirties dressed in a short fight saw her movements, thinking that she was a child in the village who came to play, so he waved his hand and said impatiently, "This is Yu clan science, what are you looking at as a wild girl!" ”

Yu Xia was not annoyed by the other party's bad attitude, but just raised his face and asked him curiously, "This uncle, do you know where an old man here is?" ”

The porter man immediately understood what she said, he was originally the Yu family's nurse, and the Yu family's concierge was temporarily short of talent for him to be on top, and when he heard Yu Xia ask this, he answered her truthfully without thinking about it:

"You're talking about the original porter Old Man Chen, right? Who knows where he went! Suddenly disappeared the other day! ”
