Chapter 226: Human Lives for Money

After discussing with Qin Hao, Jiang Xi quickly asked people to go over to investigate, and the first thing was to start with Mrs. Li.

Since the other party sent Mrs. Li to intercede and gave fifty taels of silver, then she should know the inside story, if it is really a child daughter-in-law, it's okay, it's a big deal for them to go and remind the family, don't worry too much about the girl, but if not, they can't say that they have to report to the official.

It is better to investigate this matter sooner rather than later, Jiangxi is worried that things will change, if the rich family has not been able to find a girl to report to the official, it will not be good.

Although, Jiang Xi felt that this probability was not high, after all, spending fifty taels of silver to buy someone was likely to do something improper, and the other party would still weigh it, and would not report to the official until it was absolutely necessary.

As soon as Jiangxi left from the stream, Lin Xicheng suddenly came to Qin Hao and asked, "Brother Qin, dare to ask Sister Ling if she is married?" ”

He knew the rumors of the Jiang family and the Song family, but if he dealt with the Du family once, the Jiang family had no intention of asking the Song family for help at all, which inevitably made him suspicious. In fact, he was not the only one who doubted, but even Li Jianabin was a little uncertain.

But the Li family has long believed that the Jiang family is capable, even if there is no relationship with the Song family, they will be friendly with the Jiang family, and it can only be said that after having the Song family, it will be more beneficial to their Li family.

The moment he saw Jiangxi, Lin Xicheng's heart beat violently, wasn't such a lively and bright woman exactly what he wanted?

In addition, Qin Hao praised his sister as nothing in the sky or the earth on weekdays, and Lin Xicheng admired Jiangxi even more in his heart.

He opened his mouth to ask, also to find out whether Jiangxi was married to the Song family and whether he still had a chance.

Lin Xicheng opened his mouth, and Sun Xiucai, who was sitting there, also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

After the last incident, he had a strange emotion for Jiangxi, but his family background was slightly cold, and his mother's temper made him dare not show it.

Qin Hao is so smart, how could he not see the thoughts of his two classmates, he frowned, he couldn't imagine that Xi'er was actually liked by so many people, but unfortunately, his two friends have no chance, it is better to let them cut off the love thread as soon as possible.

"Brother Xi Cheng asked about this, I thought you had already heard the rumors." The corners of Qin Hao's mouth hooked, and the topic was diverted, "I just talked about the poem about peach blossoms, let me say one more sentence."

The egret flies in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossoms flow and the mandarin fish is fat. ”

Lin Xicheng's eyes narrowed slightly, Qin Hao didn't answer directly, but this word already explained the problem, and after taking Qin Hao's words, he came to a sentence: "The human face doesn't know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze." ”

Sun Xiucai also heard the meaning, and could only suppress the love in his heart, and the three of them chatted about poetry and books again, as if Jiangxi had never been here.

After sending someone to investigate, Jiangxi came to the Li family and their side to pick peach blossoms together.

At noon, Jiangxi and Li personally cooked, made a few peach blossom cakes, steamed acacia flower buns, and made a few cups of tea with peach blossom dew, and sent three cups to Qin Hao and the three of them.

"The fragrance is refreshing, the fragrance of peach blossoms is mixed with the sweetness of acacia flowers, it turns out that tea can also taste like this, I have seen it." Lin Xicheng exclaimed, closed his eyes and slowly tasted between his lips and tongue.

Jiang Xi also poured a cup for herself, the Li family and Li Chuncheng, and Li Chuncheng said happily: "Xi'er, your tea making skills are so good, this tea is comfortable to drink!" Uncle is a rough man, and he can't say where it's delicious, so don't dislike it, haha. ”

In the past year, Li Chuncheng has been much more cheerful, and his family life has also been prosperous, and his son is now also looking for a job in the shop of Jiangxi's family in the county seat, and he often comes to see him.

Jiang Xiwaner: "Uncle, if you don't dislike it, the tea is brewed to drink, as long as you think it's delicious, even if my tea is not brewed in vain, I'll add you another cup." ”

After lunch, sitting under the grape trellis and resting, looking at some small flowers hanging on it, Jiang Xi thought, this year's grapes must be bearing well, and this year I can try to make some canned food from grapes.

In fact, she especially wants to make ice cream, and if this thing appears, it will definitely be popular throughout the city, including the other two countries. However, where to find a refrigerator in this era, even if there is a refrigerator, there is no electricity.

"Alas! If only there was ice. ”

She remembered that on TV before, she had seen that there were ice cubes in the ancient palaces that were specially sealed, and they usually accumulated over many years to keep some for the summer.

Even if she knew the principle of sealing, she didn't have so much time or money to pile up a few pieces of ice, and there were few things, let alone making ice cream, but as soon as people entered, maybe the ice would melt.

Yawned, she got up before five o'clock this morning, and she had to take advantage of this time to rest a little longer.

Lotus Seed was guarding the side, the weather was neither cold nor hot, and she didn't have to look at the small stove all the time, nor did she have to fan beside her. Under the warmth of this spring day, the lotus seed gradually became sleepy, and fell asleep next to her.

"Girl, girl!"

Jiang Xi was woken up by Jiang Qian's voice, she rubbed her eyes, and found that the sun was gradually setting in the west, and there was not much time left before evening.

She got up from the rocking chair, accidentally touched something soft with her hand, and looked down to see what turned out to be the fleshy paws of lotus seeds. This girl, like her, has slept until now.

Touched by the river, the lotus seed gradually opened her eyes and looked at the river stream in a bit of confusion.

"Girl, I seem to have accidentally fallen asleep."

"You're not just asleep, you've been asleep for hours, and it's almost time for supper."

"Huh?" Lianzi hurriedly looked to the west, and found that the sun was about to set, so she immediately jumped up, and instantly became energetic.

Jiang Qian glanced at her helplessly, and then said to Jiang Xi: "Girl, the person sent to inquire about the news at noon has returned, and now I am waiting for you to summon me." ”

"Okay, you take him to the pavilion, don't let the girl follow."

"I arranged for the girl to leave a long time ago, and now I'm following the two little girls over there to flutter butterflies, and I can't notice this." Jiang Qian respectfully returned.

Jiang Xi was very satisfied with Jiang Qian's handling, and keeping her by her side at the beginning was something she still worth mentioning.

Jiang Qian went to make arrangements, and Jiang Xi also got up and walked towards the small pavilion. Qin Hao had said before that he would rush back in the afternoon, and he still had homework to do in the evening, and he would go to the provincial capital tomorrow morning to find the old gentleman, and he must have left.

She slept too deeply, and estimated that Qin Hao didn't want to wake her up, so she left quietly.

Lianzi didn't follow Jiangxi, she was sent by her to watch the girl's side, lest the girl suddenly run over, in case she heard something that shouldn't be heard, which stimulated the child's young heart.

"Investigating?" Jiang Xi looked at the young man in front of him, the person who investigated was a member of the family, this young man was just going to pass the word, he could ride a horse, his limbs were flexible, and he could run fast.

The young man replied respectfully: "It's all been investigated, and it was Steward Yang in the courtyard who went to ask in person." ”

"Say it."

The young man quickly told Jiang Xi the words confessed by Mrs. Li to Jiang Xi, including the process of Steward Yang's inquiry.

Sure enough, as Jiangxi guessed, the family spent fifty taels of silver to buy the girl, not to let the girl be a child daughter-in-law, but to want the girl's life, and the fifty taels were the money to buy the girl.

The only child of the family had lung disease and was coughing up all day long, and recently blood, which scared the two old men to death. They searched for a cure, but could not find a way to save their only son. Recently, these two old men didn't know where to invite a few wizards, and they got a recipe from the wizards, saying that they wanted to use the blood of virgins as a medicine, plus the prescription they prescribed, and it would take 9981 days to take effect.

Even if an adult is released for more than 80 days of blood, no matter how little is released in a day, it is estimated that he will die, let alone a child who is just in his early tens.

Hearing this, Jiang Xi was furious.

"Does the rich family know?"

The man bowed down and replied: "Yes, girl, that family is also a little famous in the town, and I am worried that I will be sued by my parents if I use ordinary girls, and I have been looking for a long time before I have found a rich family, and only they are willing to sell their daughter's life for money."

Mrs. Li said that she had already planned to give up, and she didn't know where the rich daughter-in-law got the news and took the initiative to find her.

She said that she had also persuaded the rich daughter-in-law, but the rich daughter-in-law said that the girl was a cheap life, and maybe she would still be alive by then. If they survive, they will be blessed, and the family will definitely be grateful to the girls, and maybe they will be able to take them with them.

Even if they die, it's nothing, just as they repay their nurturing grace. ”

"Huh!" Jiangxi sneered, the rich and noble family has never been good to girls, the grace of parenting? Want to repay with a girl's life?

"Mrs. Li."

Steward Yang has already let her go back, and she has repeatedly promised that she will not reveal any information, otherwise it will be thundering. Our Jiang family's prestige in the town now is enough to shut it up. ”

Jiang Xi nodded, the little guy is right, if Mrs. Li is troublesome, then don't blame her Jiang family for turning her face ruthlessly.

"You immediately send a message and let people tell Steward Yang and tell him to go to Fugui's house, it's best to let them put away their thoughts of selling their daughters, otherwise I will let people report to the official!"

In these days, although it is possible to buy and sell human beings, if it involves murder, then it is a different matter, such as the practice of rich and noble families, it is to be sentenced, and if you don't stay in prison for a few years, then don't think of it.

The guy listened to Jiang Xi's instructions and immediately went, and Jiang Qian came over to support Jiang Xi.

"I can't imagine that this family can do this kind of thing."
