"Open the door! Open the door, open the door! The official slammed on the door, and the sound of the touch seemed to hit the gentle heart, which made her more and more uneasy.

"Who? Slam my door so loudly, you're mourned! The old widow hurriedly came out of the house, opened the door and wanted to continue scolding, who knew that it was the conspicuous fast hunting suit of the official, and finally stopped her mouth in time, and said with a smile: "Official, what's the matter with finding the old woman?" ”

The official glared at her fiercely, brought the portrait in his hand to her eyes and said, "Look carefully, have you ever seen this person?" ”

The old widow squinted her eyes and argued for a long time, then smacked her lips and said, "It's a little familiar!" ”

Wen Rou hid behind the door and heard this, almost vomited blood, really wanted to run out and cover her mouth, endured and endured, and finally stood in place without moving, only to hear the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion ask in surprise: "Where did you see it?" Say it! ”

"I think, let me think—" The old widow sighed, "this man is old, and his head is not good!" As she spoke, she looked at the portrait carefully for a long time, and suddenly said, "I remembered!" ”

"Say!" The officials were almost tempered by her, and their gentle hearts were hanging in the air.

"Isn't this girl the third daughter of the Li family diagonally across the door?" The old widow praised, "Like! Draw it like it! ”

"That house?" The official pointed to a family diagonally across the door and asked, "Is it not?" ”

"Yes, it's his house!" The old widow nodded.

As soon as the official turned around, he wanted to step forward and knock on the door, but the old widow hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Official, where are you going?" ”

"Search people!"

"What? You also search for the dead! The old widow was surprised, so she forgot about the taboo, and snorted twice before saying: "The third daughter of the Li family had a sudden illness in the first half of the year!" Lord, what are you looking for a deceased person? ”

"Poof" gentleness really couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, fortunately across the door, her laughter was low, so no one noticed, only heard the official cha scolded angrily for a while, and the butler of the Zhao Mansion persuaded him to dissipate his anger one by one, the old widow also smiled and said good things, and after a while, the official errand was just gone, glared at the old widow, and walked away.

Hearing that they were far away, she quietly opened the door and came out to look, and saw the old widow leaning against the edge of the door, threading the needle and thread in the sun's rays, and muttering something in her mouth, and when she got closer, she heard that she was cursing the official.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Wen Rou hurriedly thanked her, of course she was not stupid enough to think that the three daughters of the Li family who passed away really looked similar to the small ring on the portrait, and she also knew that the old widow's eyes were poisonous, and there was no reason not to recognize who the person on the portrait was. She recognized it immediately, and covered it up for Xiaohuan, and this favor was great.

"Thanks? What are you thanking me? The old widow pretended to be stupid, but she didn't know, and took two more stitches of soles before she rolled her eyes and looked at her gently: "Somehow, I feel a little hungry in my belly." ”

"What does my mother-in-law want to eat? I'll do it for you! "The old widow pretended to be stupid, and she didn't point it out gently, even if this matter was mixed, anyway, the official wouldn't come back to search for people, and it was considered another hurdle.

"Lao Luo, my teeth are all gone, and I can't chew anything, but the sesame cold ball you brought yesterday, I taste good." The old widow squinted and continued to shoe.

"It's easy, I'll do it when I go back." smiled gently, and looked into the house uneasily, and happened to see Xiaohuan also poking his head out quietly, the two looked at each other, and there was a sigh of relief in their eyes.

When she got home, Wen Rou was about to cook to make a cool ball, but she was grabbed by the frightened Mother Wen and asked urgently, "What happened?" I see that the person in the portrait really looks like a small ...... Little Joy ......"

"Mother, you didn't say anything just now, did you?"

"No, I didn't have time, they just came to the door, and you came back."

"That's good." Gentle and reassuring smiled: "It's nothing, don't panic, in the future, if you keep your mouth tighter, you won't cause any trouble." Mother, don't worry. ”

"But......" Mother Wen always felt that her heart was going up and down, and she wanted to ask clearly.

Sighed softly and said: "Mother, don't be, I'll go make sesame liangdouan now, you help me clean up the pig's feet I bought, and I'll make sauce and roast pig's feet at night." ”

The weather is getting cooler day by day, after lunch, Xiaohuan brought the sesame liangdouan to the old widow, and then when he came back to find Wen, he held a thick cotton coat in his hand, and watched Wen's mother go into the kitchen to wash dishes. ”

Gently stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that although the stitches on the cotton clothes were a little crooked, they were densely sewn and very strong and durable, and said with a slight smile: "I said why you have no energy in the past two days, and you have been sewing this cotton clothes day and night, right?" Don't burn your body! ”

"I didn't stay up much, anyway, I'm naughty when I'm idle." Xiaohuan has always been preoccupied lately, not as smiling as before, and he has matured a lot.

Gently sighed and stroked Xiaohuan's hair and said, "I'll try it, it just so happens that I also made more sesame liangdough, and I will bring it to your mother together." ”

That's what she said, but she didn't see Sister-in-law Liu when she ran into the prison for three days in a row, and she was gentle and helpless, but fortunately, she made a little more money by selling food orders today, and at most she broke some money, anyway, every time she stuffed money into those jailers, they were willing to accept it, and she didn't let her see Sister-in-law Liu, probably because she didn't have enough money, but the jailers in charge of the prison really had enough, and the little money she bribed them was scattered to everyone, which was really not enough to stuff their teeth.

This time, Wen Rou went to the money village in advance to redeem a hundred taels of silver tickets, but he didn't expect to pay a handling fee of three taels of silver! This is a big loss, two hundred taels of silver tickets, a total of six taels of silver will be lost when exchanged, which is enough for the living expenses of a small family for half a year! And the cash silver that was redeemed, she also had trouble with her, ninety-seven taels of silver, according to the catties she used in modern times, its weight was about six or seven catties, but fortunately she had considered this problem in advance, and when she came, she brought a burden, took the silver, stuffed it into the baggage, put it on her wrist, and walked out of the money village with a calm expression.

She first took the silver home, secretly hid it in the attic, and only took out thirty taels, wrapped it up with the cotton clothes made of Xiaohuan, and the sesame liangdouan, and put them in the bag, and then went out again and went to the yamen prison.

Because of the number of times she has been there in the past few days, the jailers have known her, and as soon as she appeared, the thin-looking prison head immediately frowned and shook his head at her, indicating that he could not let her see Sister-in-law Liu.

Gentle and unhurried, before approaching, he took out the silver wrapped in oil paper from the baggage, put it in the hand of the prison head, and said with a smile: "I made some food today, please give a few officials a face, taste it!" ”
