The woman was startled by her, looked at her with open eyes and a stunned look, smiled softly and bitterly, and had to reassure her: "Mother, I have made up my mind about this matter, so don't worry about it anymore." ”

"Alas—" The woman sighed, lowered her head, and said softly, "But Fanniang has some ability, and I don't want to see you suffer like this, since you have made up your mind to redeem yourself, then redeem it...... It's just that what my mother said before is also true, if you don't listen, you will suffer in the future......"

Estimating that Mrs. Cai was coming back soon, seeing that she was going to continue to talk about the cliché, she had to interrupt her decisively: "If there is any hardship in the future, I will never complain about my mother, don't worry!" It's just that there is one more thing that has to be done by my mother. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Redemption." Wen Rou thought for a while and said, "Ming'er, when you bring me back these five taels of silver, let people spread the word and go and say goodbye to Mrs." ”

Hearing that she wanted to see Mrs. Zhaofu, sure enough, the woman opened her mouth wide in amazement, and said for a while: "I'm like this, can Madame see me?" What did I say when I saw her? ”

"Say you're going to ransom me! Ask her how much money she needs to redeem herself. "I thought about this matter gently, and estimated that the ten taels of silver were not enough to redeem herself, so she took half of it out, first solved the food and clothing problem of the Wen family, and the remaining five taels, she was not at ease wherever she left, so she still hid it herself, and when she had saved enough money to redeem herself, she would give it to Ruhua's mother together, and let her redeem the deed of sale.

"But...... But ......" The woman lasted for a long time, and finally said: "Our family, Mrs. Zhao Fu knows where it is!" If she had money, she would not have sold her daughter, so how could she believe that I had the money to redeem you? Don't rely on you to steal anything in the house, you can't redeem yourself, but you will be beaten. "This is what she has been worried about before, her daughter suddenly took out so much silver to her, don't steal it, right?

"I didn't steal or rob, they didn't have evidence, how could they rely on me to steal the things in the house?" Gently pondered for a while and said: "That's it, you say that I have a baby with a family since I was a child, and then the family moved away, and there has been no news for many years, you only think that this family affair is broken, who would think that the son of the family suddenly came a few days ago, dressed up in a bright coat and hat, not decent, think that the family made a fortune, and also brought a dowry to agree with you on an auspicious day, to welcome me through the door, I heard that I was sold in the Zhao Mansion as a maid, so I volunteered to make up some silver, for me to redeem myself." ”

Hearing this set of words, the woman was stunned for a moment, and her eyes showed admiration, but she couldn't even say words in her mouth. Looking at her surprised look gently, I also felt funny in my heart, finally when I was in school, those classical classics, novels and other miscellaneous books were not read in vain, and it seemed like making up a story to lie! Alas, she didn't want to lie, she was just forced to be helpless!

"Mother, have you written it down?" Gently nudging the woman, she asked.

"Remember...... Write down the ......" The woman rubbed her hand twice on the hem of her clothes, and smacked her tongue: "Rou'er, why do you think I am so panicked?" Catch up with Ming'er won't say the wrong thing and miss the stuffing, right? If Madame asks me anything else, what can I do if I can't tell me? ”

"Don't be afraid, mother, you go back and think about it carefully, think about everything that Madame may ask you, and tell two lies to the past, if there is something you don't understand, when you come to see me first tomorrow, ask me." Gentle knows, in fact, the wisdom of the people in the market is not low, if Ruhua's mother talks to someone of her same status, it is good to talk about such an age, and the things that are touched by her ears are not less, and you can justify it by pulling out a random thing, the most critical problem is that she is weak by nature and has never seen the world, and is easy to have stage fright, so she thought about it and comforted her: "When you talk to Mrs. Ming'er, don't think about how noble her identity is, just think about it with the neighbors, just take it easy." ”

"Hey, then I'll go back and think about it." The woman panicked, a little distracted.

Before, Wen Rou was more or less afraid that she was greedy for her own redemption money, so when she mentioned the intention of keeping the money at home, Wen Rou was angry, and she was a little angry, and when she looked at this woman again, she saw that she didn't want to think about her daughter's future, but the worldly concept made her value her son more. How else can she be blamed? can only sigh that her family is poor, if she is rich, how can she sell her daughter to raise children? Most of them will also raise Ruhua as a baby, just like the Su family did to the third girl Zhao Yan.

The two looked at each other in this room, each with their own thoughts, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Wen Wen knew that it was Mrs. Cai who was back, so she hurriedly rushed over to open the door, and saw that she came back from buying four-color snacks, and was busy loading dishes, so she smiled and said: "Don't bother my mother-in-law, my mother said where to go." As she spoke, she took the four-color dim sum, took two pieces of glutinous cakes and handed them to Mrs. Cai and said, "Keep these dim sum for your mother-in-law to drink with tea." She handed the rest to the woman: "Mother, bring these to my brother for me, so that he can recuperate in peace." ”

"Hey—" The woman hurriedly took it, and she didn't know what to say anymore when she was upset, so she only chatted casually with Mrs. Cai, and then left.

Gently accompanied Mrs. Cai to eat a cup of tea, and also said goodbye and went back, along the way thinking about what she said to Ruhua Niang, she didn't find any loopholes, and half of her heart was put down, and the other half of her heart was hanging because she was worried that Zhao Fu would want too much redemption silver, so she really had nowhere to go for a while, besides, I don't know if Ruhua's mother can successfully complete the things she entrusted with tomorrow, it's really a bit mysterious to think about! However, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, tomorrow's business, tomorrow will be better to worry about, it is useless to think too much now, it is better to go to Sister-in-law Liu to discuss, when can you go to sell the food list again, it is estimated that you can save enough money to redeem yourself.

Thinking about things in her heart, her steps were slow, she walked for a long time, and before she reached Zhao Yan's yard, she looked up and saw that the fork in front of her was leading to the study of the old man of Zhao Mansion, and she felt disgusted in her heart, and she unconsciously accelerated her steps, she didn't want to meet the bad old man who almost ruined like a flower at this critical moment.

She hadn't gone far after turning the fork in the road, when she suddenly heard a sobbing cry behind her, and before she could look back, she saw a figure rushing past her body, and almost knocked her down.

Gentle hurriedly held on to the flower tree beside the road, stood firm and looked forward, and suddenly jumped in his heart, that petite figure, not Xiaohuan but who is it?

"Xiaohuan-" Gentle saw Xiaohuan running out in such a hurry, knowing in her heart that something must have happened, in a hurry, she had already forgotten the rule that people in the Zhao Mansion were not allowed to make loud noises, and called her name with her voice, but Xiaohuan ignored it as if she hadn't heard it, just covered her face and ran to the big kitchen while crying, and disappeared in a moment.
