Chunying felt a little uneasy in her heart. Hu Fei's words seem strange, is it her delusion? Why did she feel that he didn't just tell her to go back south with him?

So she hesitated and said, "This ...... My father's family is here...... "I secretly pray in my heart that she is really delusional, and she doesn't want to be unhappy with this "brother".

Hu Fei was stunned, and a hint of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes, but then he smiled: "Of course you are going with your family?" Do you think I'm going to tell you to leave them behind? He straightened up and smiled brighter: "Back then, we shared weal and woe together, and I have never forgotten those days." Now I have some family business, and my life is quite smooth, but you are still a girl in the Hou Mansion, waiting for others, and almost asking someone to give a bastard who is not careful! How can you tell me to be at ease? Naturally, I want to get you out so that you can enjoy the happiness too, so that you helped me so much back then. ”

Chunying put her mind at ease and secretly spit on herself, she was too narcissistic, Hu Fei was obviously a good person, she cared about herself like a brother and loved herself, so she didn't want to be trapped in the Hou Mansion and suffer, she actually wanted to go wrong, she was so sorry for him. If he knew what he was thinking, he wouldn't be able to help but make fun of him, right? She blushed slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't actually do anything back then, if it weren't for you, I might have stayed at my second uncle's house every day to get moldy!" Thanks to you for letting me partner, I have the opportunity to make some extra money. In that year, I have seen the world and learned a lot, and although I am better now than I was then, I am far less relaxed and happy than I was then, and sometimes I feel happy when I look back. I want to thank you instead. ”

Hu Fei smiled faintly and said sincerely: "No matter what you say, your life was saved by you." At that time, I was so depressed that I almost starved to death, and I almost made a big mistake, if it weren't for you and Uncle Lu, I was afraid that I would have no bones left, and it was you and Uncle Lu who helped me to cheer up and know how to make a living. What I experienced in that year is a treasure of my life that I will never forget. ”

He paused, calming his mood a little, before continuing, "I've been out there for the past few years. I also risked my life to fight, in order to get ahead, I didn't care about anything, and a few times, I thought I wouldn't be able to come back...... When the danger has passed, we will know that we are afraid. Later, when I made some money, I told myself that I could never run out of money, and that I didn't have to go to sea to get rich. If I am really buried at sea, who can offer incense to my father and mother? Who's going to get justice for them?! Therefore, I found a place in Jiangnan, bought some industries, changed to other ways to make money, and no longer went to sea to adventure. Don't look at my inconspicuous appearance now, in fact, I am not bad, but I have always been unstable in my heart, and I always want to go back to Beijing to see how those people are, and then ...... It's also about you...... and Uncle Lu, I don't know if you're doing well. Now that I have gained wealth, I cannot allow you to continue to be slaves, but I will get you all out. It's good to enjoy happiness with peace of mind! ”

He said so sincerely, Chunying was also a little moved, thinking about it carefully, if you can really redeem yourself, it will naturally be a good thing, but the reality may not allow it: "I thank you for thinking about our family like this, but we are all sons of the Hou Mansion, and we are servants of several generations, and it is grace for the master's family to let us out, and outsiders want to buy it, but it can't be done, and for no reason, we won't let people out of the house." I appreciate your kindness, but if you really want to get us out of the house, it will not be so easy. ”

Hu Fei's heart moved: "So, in fact, you are not opposed to redeeming yourself and leaving the house?" That's right, I remember you mentioned it before, you want to live an ordinary life of freedom and freedom without worrying about food and clothing. ”

Chunying smiled and lowered her head: "I won't hide it from you, I naturally want to go out, but my father is reluctant...... He is now in charge of a silk shop under the name of the Hou Mansion, and it takes a lot of effort to run it well. If you redeem yourself, this shop will be gone, and you are worried that it will be difficult to make a living in the future, after all, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and with the name of the Hou Mansion, you will not be bullied. I tried to persuade him a few times, but he made up his mind. I don't want to push too hard......"

Hu Fei thought for a while: "What's there to worry about?" It's not difficult to open a shop outside. Besides, Uncle Lu can not only be the shopkeeper of the Hou Mansion, but also other families, and the stone shopkeeper of Yunxiang Pavilion also receives a sum of money every year to take care of the business for the An family? Uncle Lu has this ability, why worry about having nowhere to make a living? Besides......" he paused, "do you remember when you gave me a hundred taels of silver as capital?" In three years, this one hundred taels has more than increased tenfold......"

Chunying's eyes widened: "Ten times?!" No way?! I...... I'm just going to let you loosen your hands......"

Hu Fei smiled: "I naturally know, but that's what you saved up with great difficulty, how can I take it for nothing?" Since I said that I am a shareholder, I will naturally have a share of the silver I earned. How is it? With this money, your family doesn't have to worry about their livelihood after leaving the house, right? Whether it's opening a shop or buying a field, your family doesn't have to worry, you don't have to worry anymore. ”

A heartfelt joy poured out from the bottom of Chunying's heart, and she suddenly felt that the boulder pressing on her heart was suddenly removed. With this wealth, her future life will be secured, and the next thing she needs to worry about is only to persuade her parents to redeem herself, and one of the problems that her father was most worried about has been solved. Ten times a hundred taels is a thousand taels...... No. Even if it's only five hundred, it's enough for her father to open a shop of his own!

She couldn't help but reach out excitedly and grabbed Hu Fei: "Brother Xiaofei! I'm not dreaming, am I? What you just said is true? You didn't coax me? Is there really that much money? ”

"Of course it's true!" Hu Fei smiled and patted the back of her hand, and his eyebrows relaxed, "Don't forget, at that time, I had a total of three or four hundred taels of silver, and your one hundred taels accounted for at least twenty percent, I made money, how could your share be less?" How's that going now? Finally, there are no worries, right? As for how to redeem yourself, you don't have to worry about it, Brother Xu'er is good friends with me. He is the young master of your own family, and it must not be difficult to ask the head of the Hou Mansion for a favor from the master's family. ”

Of course it's not that hard! It may not be as easy as he says, but it's not impossible. Chunying knew in her heart that redeeming herself meant that she could no longer be in charge, and for those who wanted to pull their father off the horse with red eyes, they were in the middle of it, and with them to help them, even the originally difficult things would become easier.

However, when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt a little unstable: "Can it really be done?" Although the people in the fourth room come to our old lady and wife from time to time to say goodbye, they are not very decent, because the old lady's girl has suffered a lot of grievances as a concubine in his house, and the old lady is not very satisfied with his family, not to mention that Young Master Xu is a concubine and has been away from home for many years...... "I hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think this matter can be rushed, I want to persuade my father first, as long as he nods, he can always think of a way to redeem himself, and he doesn't have to go through the fourth room." And...... And there's another one...... Willing to help me get out of citizenship......"

Thinking of Zhou Nian, she felt a little astringent in her heart, and was silent for a moment before continuing: "The Third Young Master has a friend, I once saved him once, and I helped a little bit, he promised me that when it was convenient for him later, he would ask the Third Young Master to go to me and let me go." This has been said a long time ago, but it's a pity that my father is not willing to go with him, thinking that his family is not as prominent as the Hou Mansion. But now the situation is different, when I got out of the nationality, my sister has married outside, and my father is the only one in my family who works as an errand in the Hou Mansion. It's so much easier to leave! When the time comes, I will ask you for help, find a house, open a store or something, how about it? ”

Hu Fei looked indifferent, and only asked, "Who is that person?" How long have you known each other? Is it reliable? ”

"Reliable, I've known him since he was eleven years old, he's a few years older than you, his surname is Zhou, and he's a gentle scholar."

Hu Fei continued to ask sullenly: "I have never heard that the third young master of the Hou Mansion knows a scholar surnamed Zhou, what is his origin?" The most important thing is how is the character? Although he promised to ask you to come over, he ...... I'm afraid that you will pass, but you will not be able to get out. ”

Chunying was taken aback: "How could it be?" He's not that kind of person! "Listening to Hu Fei's statement, I thought it was a bad woman who wanted to flirt with a good woman, which didn't match Zhou Nian at all! How did he come up with the idea of going there?

Hu Fei couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, he only felt heavy in his chest, but in front of Chunying, he couldn't vent it, so he had to say: "Okay, since you think he is reliable, just do it, just wait to get out, remember to come to me immediately, let's calculate it again, how to get your father and brother out." ”

Chunying nodded happily: "Okay!" That's it! She suddenly remembered one more thing: "By the way, Brother Xiaofei, if it is convenient, the silver will be temporarily deposited with you, right?" I haven't told my father yet, if I gave you a hundred taels back then, he will definitely scold me to death, and when I tell him about it slowly, for the sake of the money, he shouldn't be angry. ”

Hu Fei smiled: "Okay, but don't be busy telling him first, how about mentioning it in two months?" I can't tell anyone that I've entered Beijing right now. Uncle Lu is naturally trustworthy, but I'm worried that if Second Uncle Lu knows, it means that your eldest young master also knows, and then the Huo family and several other relatives of the Hou Mansion will also know...... The implication is too great! Sister, will you keep it a secret for me first? ”

Chunying thought about it and thought it was nothing, so she agreed, still thinking in her heart, in two months, Zhou Nianjia's lawsuit might be over, and she just happened to leave the country, so it would be easier to persuade her father.

Thinking about it like this, her mood improved: "Brother Xiaofei, where do you live now?" Where am I going to find you? ”

"Not far from here, there is a Baofu Lane to the north of Fahua Temple, do you remember? Brother Xu rented a yard there, and I lived next to them. If you go, just say it's looking for Hu Erye. ”

Second Master Hu? Chun Ying glanced at Hu Fei and smiled: "Brother Xiao Fei is also a master now?" ”

Hu Fei also smiled, hesitated, raised his hand and knocked on her head: "Naughty!" Why can't I be a master?! "It's really not a taste in my heart......

Chunying didn't notice anything unusual at all, and felt that Hu Fei was very close to herself, the two talked again, and suddenly heard the sound of a carriage outside, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, it turned out that the people in the fourth room finally came back after receiving the news. Seeing them walk past their house, Chun Ying felt that it was not too early, so she asked Hu Fei what he planned to do next. Hu Fei didn't answer, just told her to go home first, and then pretended that he hadn't seen him, and when he finished the business at hand, he would come to visit him generously. "When the time comes, I'll give Uncle Lu a generous gift! Maybe your father and mother will take it as a dowry, and without saying a word, they will let you and me as a wife. He said with a hint of a hint of teasing.

Chunying pouted: "Brother Xiaofei, I found out that you have been out for a few years, but you have learned badly, and you actually made fun of me!" ”

Hu Fei smiled and didn't say anything, and the two said a few more words before saying goodbye to each other. Chunying observed that no one passed by outside the car, so she quietly slipped off the carriage and ran home, less than half an hour later, she heard the sound of the carriage outside the door, and looked through the crack in the door, it turned out that Li Xu took his wife and children out, got into the carriage again, met with his friend's carriage, and left slowly.

Chunying turned around and exhaled, thinking of Hu Fei's words again, her heart was happy.

In the afternoon, Lu Yougui came back with his wife and son, and shouted for tea as soon as he entered the door. Chunying poured a glass, but saw that her brother was flushed and was smiling stupidly, and was taken aback: "What's wrong?" Xiaohu has been drinking?! ”

Mother Lu scolded: "This kid took advantage of my absence and stole the wine on the table to drink, I'm really angry!" Fortunately, there is no shame, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to see that girl of the Wang family! After saying that, he glared at Xiaohu fiercely, and then took out two red cloth bags from his sleeve, handed them to his daughter, and said: "This is the happy money issued by the Wang family, I have seen it, it is a pair of silver lotus seeds, which weigh two coins!" What a show! Back then, the eldest young master didn't marry a daughter-in-law like this! I'm going to take it and pull half a piece of shuttle cloth back and make summer clothes for your sister and brother, what do you like? ”

Chunying wiped her brother's face while fetching water: "It's okay to do anything, mother, don't be busy, ask someone else to do it, doing too much needlework is not good for your eyes." After that, he was about to take Xiaohu to take a bath, but was stopped by his father: "Call your mother to go, I have something to tell you." ”

Chunying was puzzled, handed over her younger brother to her mother, and asked her father what he had to say.

Lu Yougui took a big sip of tea and said: "At the banquet today, I heard others say that the granddaughter of the Wang family got married and accompanied many fields and a few shops, which is very rich!" If it was done before the groom won the office, others would only say that the granddaughter of the Wang family was lucky, but after the groom got the official and then married, some people said that the Wang family was high, if it was not for the rich dowry, I don't know what would happen. I heard that Mr. Wang purchased these dowries in the name of his granddaughter, and they are not the Wang family's things, and no matter what happens in the future, they will not be taken away by the government......"

Chunying knew in her heart that this was the Wang family's way back.

Lu Yougui said again: "When I look at his family like this, I remember what you told me before, buy property privately and ask your sister and brother-in-law to help take care of it." If you think about it, there is some truth in your words. It's just that it's a lot of trouble to take care of the land, and I can't show up, your brother-in-law has his own property, so he's busy enough, so I don't plan to buy the land. ”

Chunying hurriedly said: "Then buy a shop for rent?" Otherwise, we will invest in other shops, and we will sit on the interest money? ”

Lu Yougui shook his head: "There is a risk in buying shares, and the shop is expensive, I see that your brother-in-law rents a house to live with others, it seems that there is no need to bother, I see ...... Just find two medium-sized yards near his house, only one or two hundred taels, buy them and pick them up, rent them to merchants or students who are rushing to take the exam, and ask your brother-in-law to help collect the rent, and give a few taels a year to his family to eat tea, how about it? ”

Chunying was overjoyed: "This method is good!" That's it! If Daddy's actions are fast, he can catch up with Enko two months later! That's not to worry about renting out! ”

Lu Yougui nodded: "Then I'll tell your brother-in-law tomorrow!" ”

Chunying was happy in her heart, and she only felt that the future was very good. My father bought the property privately, and I had the money from Hu Fei's side, so it would be much easier to persuade my father to leave the country in the future, and there was no need to worry about life after leaving the house. It's really all ready, only the east wind is owed-

For the first time in so many years, she felt that freedom was just around the corner.

(What's more?) Ask for a pink ticket ......).
