Chapter 148: Arrangements for Orphans and Widows

In the evening, Xi Xin and Qing Dai led the mother and son to walk on the cobblestone road leading to Tinglan Water Pavilion, the former was nothing, Cheng Yan did what she told, she did what she did.

It's Qingdai's girl, who keeps looking back.

I thought that Young Master Cheng Yan would buy a few young girls of the same age to call, or a few well-behaved little girls, but I didn't expect to buy a family of three in one go, and it seems that only that woman can really work.

The price of the three of them only bought one laborer, and the house still had to support these two children.

The more Qing Dai thought about it, the more she couldn't cry or laugh, but this was what Cheng Yan meant, and she didn't dare to say anything, she just tugged under her sleeves, and the man also turned his head.

The woman looked very safe, respectfully following behind her, her eyes were downward, she would not look left and right, and the green seedlings next to her were taught by her, and the child was very sensible, and she was holding her brother without running or making trouble.

There is only Xiao Shallot, who is not from a high background, and everything is fresh when he enters the Guogong Mansion.

"Very good."

Xi Xin turned around and only said these two words.

Qing Dai looked at her, thought about it and said indifferently: "Anyway, I signed a death contract, and I can't be disloyal." He lowered his voice and said, "Besides, people like Shallot and Qingmiao, who have been raised since childhood, can also be used in the future." ”

Xi Xin nodded, and the group quickly entered the Tinglan Water Pavilion, Cheng Qi came back from the Wuyuan with a night meal, and was sitting on the Luohan bed on the first floor, staring at the small incense burner burning in front of him, as if thinking about something.

When Qing Dai saw it, she immediately went over and took the incense burner farther away, and reproached: "What is the girl doing, this incense burner is hot, why don't you put it in that box, in case it hurts, how good is it." ”

Cheng Qi smiled and said, "No." ”

"Even if it doesn't burn." Qing Dai thought thoughtfully, "Although this spice is fragrant when burned, it chokes her nose, and the girl doesn't even open a window, so she sheds tears carefully." ”

Cheng Qi was said to have no temper, so she shrugged her shoulders innocently, got up and pushed the window open, she was afraid that it would rain tonight so she didn't open the window, and when she went out to look, she saw that the clouds were surging, but there was no rain.

She stretched out her hand and tried it, only to feel that the air was flowing slowly, almost viscous, and it seemed that the rain was still coming, and it was only a matter of time, so she did not dare to open the window wide, and only used a short pole to support a gap.

"Didn't you say to go and get someone, why is it so late..."

Cheng Qi said as he turned around, just when he saw the mother and son standing at the door, he stopped talking.

"Girl, this is someone that Young Master Zongyu bought from a slave." Xi Xin said.

Cheng Qi nodded slowly, sat back with her skirt, as a modern person, out of politeness and respect, she didn't like to look up and down at others, just looked at Xiao Shallot'er cute, the child was hungry, staring at the pastries on the table.

"Come here."

Cheng Qi beckoned, and by the way, he took a piece of shortbread and handed it over.

Xiao Shallot was young, and when she saw a delicious poop fart, she was about to go over, but she was dragged by Qingmiao, and the girl was very cautious: "... The girl is kind, but we can't eat from the Lord's house. ”

"What do you eat if you don't eat this?"

Cheng Qi was amused, and personally got up and stuffed it to Xiao Shallot, he really ate hungryly, and Qingmiao looked at it and wanted to eat, but lowered his head.

Seeing this, Qingdai pulled the two children over and brought several plates of snacks to eat.

This is all cold and ready to be removed, Qingdai is afraid that Cheng Qi will have an upset stomach after eating, but for Xiao Liang'er and Qingmiao, it is undoubtedly a good thing that can't be eaten during the New Year's Festival.

The two children looked at each other and smiled, their cheeks bulging.

The woman looked at it and knew that Cheng Qi was a good master, so she also put her mind at ease, and said that this person was not as irritable and irritable as rumored, and his spirit was abnormal, and he did not have those stinky rules, and his luck was really good.

"What do you call it?"

Cheng Qi smiled lightly.

Qingdai raised her head and replied instead: "This is Sister-in-law Zheng, and these two are Xiao Liang'er and Qing Miao." ”

Sister-in-law Zheng sneered and said: "The family is poor, and I can't afford to ask Mr. Teaching to name me, so I just called these two, and they both said that the cheap name is good to give birth to, and the girl should not laugh." ”

"Nothing." Cheng Qi said, "What about your husband, how can you rest assured that you will sell yourself as a slave with your two children?" ”

Speaking of this, a little pain flashed in Sister-in-law Zheng's eyes, Qing Dai saw the situation, and hurriedly lay down in Cheng Qi's ear and said the ins and outs, and the person who was about to sit down stood up respectfully.

"Lu Er, bastard." Cheng Qi frowned and said, "The subsidized silver in the account must have been greedy by him, forcing this orphan and widow to sell himself." ”

Looking back at Sister-in-law Zheng, Cheng Qi soothed: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, when you enter the Guogong Mansion, I will naturally not treat the three of you badly, but I can't use so many people in Tinglan Water Pavilion, it's better to be like this, my aunt's personal maid Xiao Wei is going back to her hometown to marry someone after the New Year, so you will go over to serve my aunt, Qingmiao will stay with me, and I will call Zhu Ling to take Xiao Ling, and when I am older, I will follow Cheng Dai to be a small servant." ”

When Sister-in-law Zheng heard this, she immediately became excited.

Cheng Dai is a person who wants to be a person in Dali Temple in the future, that is a four-grade official, Xiao Liang'er can follow him before and after the saddle, how glorious it must be.

"Girl, seriously?" Sister-in-law Zheng didn't believe her ears.

Cheng Qi nodded: "Do what you say." ”

Sister-in-law Zheng wanted to kneel, Cheng Qi hurriedly stopped her, asked Qingdai to take her and Shallot to leave and settle down, and asked a few more words next to Qingmiao, the child was a little timid, but generally very sensible and compliant.

"That's right."

Halfway through speaking, Cheng Qi remembered: "Is Cheng Yan back?" ”

Xi Xin shook his head: "It's still in the slave house, Sister-in-law Zheng was sent back by Young Master Zongyu who asked Xin Yi, and he seems to be ready to pick two maids to teach first, and keep them for the girl." ”

Only then did Cheng Qi know that Cheng Yan bought the three sisters-in-law Zheng, but he just took pity on the three mothers and sons, who were so merciful that they didn't want to be slaves at all.

She smiled to herself, this person was hard-hearted on the surface, but very soft on the inside.

Cheng Qi turned his head and looked at Qingmiao and yawned secretly, but the poor child was too sensible and didn't dare to cross the distance in a word or deed, so he asked Xi Xin to take her into the small bed on the second floor to sleep.

Xi Xin complied, took the child up the stairs, and turned back and instructed: "Girl, I am afraid that this rain will not come for a while, but it is better to close the window, and it will be too late to wait for the rain." ”

Cheng Qi didn't look back, and walked straight to the window: "I'll close it, you can take Qingmiao to settle down." ”

Closing the window, she closed the door again, and swept her eyes over the dark blue lake that surrounded the wooden pavilion, only to feel that the water seemed to be ten thousand feet deep, and it could sweep people's lives into invisibility in an instant.

This night the dark wind was high and there was no moon in sight, and the clouds were stacked.

Cheng Qi was a little panicked, especially after experiencing the disaster of killing, she walked out and stood at the railing of the wooden pavilion, and then turned around and entered the house.

Looking up, he swept down the knife marks on the door frame.

It was left by the fight between Cheng Yan and the man in black that night, Cheng Qi naturally didn't know, he reached out and touched it, the gap was very smooth, enough to see how sharp and fierce the red bead dagger of the man in black was.

"Shhhh

Cheng Qi withdrew his hand suddenly, looking at the droplets of blood that had been wounded by the wooden thorns on his fingertips, and frowned.

"Damn, tomorrow Qingdai will be verbose when she sees it."

She complained about the closure.

In an instant, a gust of wind blew across the lake, stirring up countless ripples of murderous intent.

In the dark night, a pair of eyes were staring at her every move, not leaving an inch.
