Chapter 55: Guest

No matter how Lao He asked, Dagui ignored it, and just repeated one sentence in his mouth: "It's all my fault, I'm useless." "Jiang Xinyi was so anxious that she almost gave him a kick.

Jiang Xinyi didn't pay attention to him, and walked straight to the yard, wanting to see what was going on, if she was seriously ill, she hurried to ask for a doctor, she was really hopeless, so she was ready to do a funeral, crying and birds, three rooms side by side in the yard, and a woman's crying came from the room on the left, she lifted the cotton curtain hanging outside the door, and without even knocking on the door, she pushed the door and walked in.

A young girl in the room was kneeling in front of the bed and hugging and crying with an old woman lying on the bed, and when she looked up and saw a strange woman coming in, she immediately stopped crying and looked at Jiang Xinyi in horror.

"Mother, I'm afraid." The girl buried her face in her mother's arms again.

The old woman struggled to stand up, got out of bed, didn't even have shoes, and knelt in front of Jiang Xinyi: "Madam, my child is still young, you can be kind and give you another half a year, we must find a way to get together the silver and return it to you." ”

fainted to death, feeling that they were treating her as a debt collector! Jiang Xinyi was a little depressed, she looked so kind, how could they think that she was collecting debts? Jiang Xinyi didn't expect that her expression when she came in was strained and frowned, so it was strange not to be misunderstood.

"Mother, what are you doing here? This is my master, the princess I told you, and thanks to her my son was able to come back to see you. Then Dagui, who followed up, hurriedly pulled up the old lady and explained to her, Lao He and Xiaoping also followed in and stood by the door.

As soon as she heard Dagui say this, his mother suddenly pulled her son and knelt down again, "Mother, master, she doesn't like these the most, you still don't want to do this." Dagui hurriedly grabbed his mother and said.

When the girl learned that she was not a debt collector, she relaxed, stood up, wiped her tears with her sleeve, picked up a pair of cotton shoes by the bedside and walked to her mother's side, leaned down to help her put on her shoes.

"Dagui, your mother is not feeling well, let's let her lie down on the bed." Jiang Xinyi said, and found a chair and sat down.

The noble girl had already brought a bowl of boiled water, shyly put it on the small table next to Jiang Xinyi, and said embarrassedly: "Princess, there is no fragrant tea at our house." ”

Dagui and his mother secretly thought, not only is there no fragrant tea, not even a cup for making tea, they don't even have a cup to make tea, besides, in addition to debt collectors or debt collectors in their house, where are any guests coming, this time there is a distinguished guest, it turned out to be Princess Yu, this is the emperor's daughter-in-law "woman", she can drink the water in the bowl?

"Well, I'm very thirsty." Jiang Xinyi unceremoniously picked up the big bowl and drank it to the bottom, and after putting the bowl down, she found that the people in the circle, except for Xiaoping, were all dumbfounded, as for it, didn't she drink faster! She thought these people were really making a fuss.

"Alas, as soon as Dagui came back today, he said that you were good, but he brought boiled water to entertain you, which is really unpleasant." Dagui's mother said to Jiang Xinyi with an embarrassed face.

"Auntie, you think about it a lot, this bowl of boiled water is sweet when you are thirsty, see how blessed you are, with such a pair of filial children, I just don't know, what difficulties have been encountered in this family? Why don't you speak up and listen, and maybe you can solve it together? Jiang Xinyi stood up, picked up a chair and walked to the side of the bed and sat down and asked.

When the noble mother saw that the princess not only did not dislike her sick body, but sat so close to her, she hurriedly said: "The princess can't help it, my body is sick." ”

"What's so wrong with that? Tell me what's going on? Jiang Xinyi asked again.

"Alas, speaking of which, it's my old wife who has tired the two children, my body is sick all the year round, and I can't do without the soup 'medicine', in order to treat my illness, Dagui concealed that I signed a deed of sale and entered the palace as a slave, and also borrowed usury from the rich man Li, and borrowed a dozen taels of silver at that time, but in recent years, the profit has become one hundred and eighty taels.

In the spring of this year, the rich man Li came to collect the debt, saying that if he didn't pay it off, he would want Xiaohuan to be a concubine to pay off the debt, and he wanted to sell this ancestral house to make up some silver taels, but no one wanted the house on this street, and someone came to see the house a few days ago, but the price was really the bottom, and then a kind person came to tell me, saying that the person who wanted to buy the house was also the person of the rich man Li.

"Early this morning, the rich man Li sent a housekeeper again, and gave a three-day deadline, if it has not been paid off, he will come to the sedan chair to carry Xiaohuan, and he wants her to go to the palace to discuss with her brother, and Dagui will come back, because I am a sick man, my son sold himself into slavery, and my daughter paid off her debts as a concubine, what do you mean by saying that I am a mother's life, it is better to get a hemp rope beam to hang it to find their father, and it can be regarded as giving the two children a way to live." Dagui's mother couldn't go on with a whimper.

Dagui hugged his head and squatted on the ground and sighed, Xiaohuan bit his lip and reddened his eyes again, Xiaoping was already wiping her tears, and Lao He, who was driving the car, also shook his head and sighed.

"That's it? Hehe, aunt, don't worry anymore, don't forget if you don't know, but I happened to meet it, and I can't be pretended not to know no, isn't it just one hundred and eighty taels of silver, you don't have it as I have, go back and ask Dagui to go to me to get it, and return it to the rich man Li. Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.

When the three members of the Dagui family heard Jiang Xinyi say this, they couldn't believe their ears, of course they knew that the princess was rich, and they didn't care about this bit of silver at all, but rich people all put their money in the bank, who had ever heard that the rich master would be willing to give it out, one would not be related to the relatives, and the other would not bring the descendants to repay the debts!

"Dagui, why don't you hurry up and thank your master?" Lao He reminded on the side that in fact, if the princess didn't speak, he planned to take out the silver ticket in his arms to help Dagui.

After Lao He's reminder, Dagui knelt down in front of Jiang Xinyi, and his mother was about to get off the bed, so the frightened Jiang Xinyi quickly stood up and said, "Why do you kneel again, I'm going to be angry if you do this again." ”

Dagui quickly stood up, but he didn't know what to say to express his gratitude to the princess.

Jiang Xinyi saw him get up, and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that someone was hugging her leg on the side, and when she looked down, she saw that it was Xiaohuan who looked at her with tears in her eyes and said: "The princess's great kindness, Xiaohuan is here to report, Xiaohuan is willing to follow you into the house to be a girl and wait for you." ”

Jiang Xinyi's heart was sour, she leaned over and pulled up the sensible Xiaohuan and said to her: "You are stupid, what is the difference between being a girl in the house with me and being a little girl for the rich man?" The reason why I help you is to let you have a free body, besides, your mother's health is not good, you went to wait for me, and your brother is not at home, what should she do? ”

"And how shall we repay you?" Xiaohuan asked gratefully.

"Do you really want to repay me?" Jiang Xinyi smiled and teased Xiaohuan, and Xiaohuan nodded again and again.

"We haven't had lunch yet, and our stomachs are gurgling, so why don't you invite us to a meal, I know that your brother came back with the monthly money." Jiang Xinyi said badly.

She knew that if she didn't let them express it, their hearts would be disturbed.

"Well, I'll go." Xiaohuan immediately walked in front of Dagui, reached out and took the monthly money he took out, and was about to go out.

"Wait, tell Ping'er and Lao He to go with you." Jiang Xinyi stopped Xiaohuan and said, and then she put a few words on Xiaoping's ear.

After Xiaohuan and the others left, Jiang Xinyi asked Dagui to do whatever she wanted, and she stayed in the house to chat with Dagui's mother, because the problem that had plagued the family for many years was solved by Jiang Xinyi lightly, and the eldest lady was in a very good mood and a lot of energy.

When Xiaohuan and the others came back, they carried a lot of things in their hands, followed by a charcoal seller, put down a load of carbon and left.

Dagui hurriedly pulled his sister aside and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, where can I buy back all these things with the money I gave you?" Did you find someone to borrow money? ”

"No, except for the purchase of rice, I paid for meat and fish, and the rest was paid by Sister Xiaoping, she said that the princess had ordered it." Xiaohuan hurriedly explained, and took out the remaining few copper coins from his arms to show Dagui.

Dagui's eyes were hot again, I didn't expect he, a current person, to meet such a good nobleman.

Lunch was made by Xiaohuan and Xiaoping together, and after it was done, the noble mother was also pulled on the table, on a table, regardless of the master, the subordinates, the chores, and the car, and they were happy to eat, Xiaohuan told Jiang Xinyi that the family was the most lively today, and it was more lively than the New Year.

After lunch, Jiang Xinyi talked to Dagui's mother for a while, watched Xiaoping help Xiaohuan clean up the table, and then got up to say goodbye to them, she didn't let Dagui go with him, let him stay at home for a while, and the rich man's silver would be given to him after returning to the palace.

On the way back, Jiang Xinyi lazily leaned on Xiaoping's body, closed her eyes and thought about things, so Xiaoping didn't bother her.

After arriving at the gate of the palace, Jiang Xinyi and Xiaoping got out of the carriage and saw Wen Yuxin standing at the gate talking to Tie Xin, and when they saw her coming, they all closed their mouths.

Jiang Xinyi walked to them and greeted + Passion Wen Yeyan, Liu Jun, and Tie Xin one by one, but treated Wen Yuxin as air, which made him feel very faceless, and when she was about to raise her feet and walk inside, she grabbed her and said, "Xinyi, I've been out all morning, I'm not tired, why don't you move to the front and live." ”

"Thank you Lord Wang for your concern, I was born a cheap life, so it's better to live in the back." Jiang Xinyi said with a smile at Wen Yuxin.

"Then Xinyi should be careful, haven't you heard that this mansion is haunted?" Wen Yuxin said depressedly.

"Ghosts? Oh, I'm not afraid, if it's a female ghost, I'll bribe her to do something for me, if it's a handsome male ghost, I'll stay by my side and chat with me, but if someone pretends to be a ghost, I'll be kind enough to fulfill him and make him a real ghost. Jiang Xinyi was naughty with Wen Yuxin, who made him so boring to scare her!

After watching Jiang Xinyi walk away, Wen Yeyan hesitated and asked, "Third brother, do you really plan to do that?" ”

"Of course, don't think that if you prove that Xiaohuai didn't do it, I will believe her, she has too many suspicions, you shouldn't report to her, right?" Wen Yuxin said to his younger brother with a sneer.

"If my brother doesn't believe me, why should he tell me?" Wen Yeyan stared at his brother's eyes and asked.
