Qingya patted her head, and she forgot that the girl couldn't remember the past.

"Master's home." She laughed, "That's your grandfather's house, girl." ”

Liu Zhixian is naturally born by his father and mother, not Sun Monkey jumped out of the cracks in the stones, Liu Meibao suddenly forgot about this stubble, in fact, it was not that she wanted to forget, and no one had ever talked about her.

"There's no one in the house either, right?" She asked naturally.

"The old lady has passed away a long time ago, the old lady is still there, and there are many old men, big ladies." Qingya said with her hands wrenched.

Liu Meibao's brows furrowed and she stopped what she was doing.

"So," she nodded thoughtfully, so she wasn't an orphan in the strict sense of the word? After thinking about it again and again, I couldn't help but ask, "Then since there are grandmothers and uncles here, why don't we go back to them?" ”

In any case, even in modern times, if there are still two relatives at home, the grandmother and uncle, they will never let the child be fostered to the grandfather's house, not to mention that there is only one aunt left in the grandfather's family who is not related by blood, not to mention that this is an ancient time with strict patriarchy.

When these words were asked, Qingya's face was also a little depressed.

"Yes, it's been so long, why didn't the old lady come to pick us up..."She held her head in her hand, said this, and carefully looked at Song Sanniang's house, and lowered her voice a little, "It shouldn't really be like what my uncle said, the old lady doesn't want us."

After saying this, she was a little flustered, and hurriedly reached out and gently slapped her mouth.

"Girl, the servant is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart, the old lady, they must have been delayed by something, maybe they have already sent someone to find us." Qingya said hurriedly.

Liu Meibao smiled and waved her hand.

"Obviously, Mrs. Uncle is right." She laughed.

"Girl," Qingya's eyes turned red, "that time my uncle and wife said those words to scare you because you were angry and wanted to run home by yourself, girl, it was very far from here to the capital, and at that time it was chaotic and there was no money, so I really couldn't go back." ”

"It's in the capital." Liu Meibao nodded, she didn't care about other words at all, she was only interested in the word capital.

I don't know where the capital here is in the later generations, Qingya mentioned that it was called Su'an, but forgive her shallow geographical and historical knowledge, I really don't know where this is.

However, the capital is always the most prosperous place in a country, and it is good to go back to ancient times to travel and see the scenery and customs of various places.....

"Girl.." Qingya was full of worry and said a lot of comforting words, and suddenly found that her girl seemed to have wandered into the world, and couldn't help but stomp her feet and raise her voice.

Liu Meibao came back to her senses at this time, sighed, and then cleaned up the medicinal materials in her hand.

"Girl, old lady, they—" Qingya wanted to continue.

"I know, I know, I didn't think about it so much, just wait, when will I come to pick it up..."Liu Meibao nodded and said, it doesn't matter if you don't come, it's better not to come, it's better not to come back to avoid trouble and abandon your relatives.

Because of this conversation, Qingya's mood was a little sluggish, so she sat on the stone in the corner of the wall and began to talk about family affairs, although Liu Meibao was not very interested, she was a good listener.

"I grew up at home?"

"Yes, the old lady is not in good health, and the lady has been serving at home, and she only moved here with us five years ago."

"Oh, who's in the house?"

"The eldest lord and the eldest lady, the little aunt and grandmother, the eldest girl, the eldest young master, the second young master, the little young master, the little young master...", the young girl wrenched her hand, and suddenly she was very worried, "Girl, oops, you can't remember the past, will you not recognize them?" ”

That's for sure, Liu Meibao nodded.

"There are so many people, the family must be good, right?" She said with a smile, shook the medicinal herbs in her hand vigorously, and then cut them neatly with a kitchen knife and stacked them on the stone slab in the corner of the wall to dry.

"It's better than it is now." Qingya said sullenly.

"Isn't that good?" Liu Meibao heard the meaning from her words and asked with a smile.

For a place like the capital, the Liu family is really not a big family, it is a decent family of poetry, there is no rich and noble, there is no poverty, and it is a safe and innocent family.

These people are all ancestors who are not big or small Beijing officials, there are no more and no less granges in the countryside, one or two shops in the city that are not considered to be rich and have a slight surplus, children and grandchildren study according to the rules, or rely on entrance examinations or rely on Yin Rong to obtain an official position that can support themselves but is not enough to be rich, and marry with ordinary and even sometimes inferior families to themselves, and have children and reproduce, all in all, this is one of the simplest and most ordinary families in the official class of this dynasty.

Liu Meibao's father was born and raised by a concubine, and her mother died early and was raised by her mother.

"Is that the old lady particularly bad to us?" Hearing this, Liu Meibao's eyes lit up and she was quite interested.

"Is there one?" Qingya's eyes widened.

"Didn't you?" Liu Meibao asked, it is generally written in novels like this, how can the eldest woman look at the children of the concubine pleasing to the eyes, and why do she have to wear small shoes.

"Girl, when did the old lady treat you badly? Did you scold you? Qingya moved over with great interest and asked.

Liu Meibao's black face when she asked this, how did she know, it was just a guess based on habit.

"I don't remember anything, so I didn't ask you." She coughed and said with a smile, but it wasn't much better if she thought about it, otherwise why would no one come to pick it up for so long, not even a condolence visit.

As he said this, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a boy in tattered clothes ran in, startling the two people in the courtyard.

"Xie Laosan, what are you running around! Who let you in! Qingya is now very defensive of men, and immediately shouted in front of Liu Meibao.

This child Liu Meibao recognized that he often worked with Zhou Liangyu, and had seen him waiting for Zhou Liangyu outside the door several times, and once Liu Meibao politely beckoned him to come in and sit, but the child blushed and stood farther away.

"Brother Zhou.. Brother Zhou was topped by a cow..."Xie Laosan gasped and said in a panic.

"What?" Liu Meibao was so frightened that she immediately stood up, and before she could ask carefully, she heard the door slam, and Song Sanniang had already rushed out and ran out without speaking.

Liu Meibao didn't care about asking questions, so she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran away.

Zhou Liangyu has been helping in the village called Blacksmith Tun next door these days, this village is named after a group of blacksmiths who first settled down, the village is larger than Yong'an Village, more than half of the fields are close to the river, so it is fertile, of course, like all places at this time, most of those fertile lands belong to the local big households, and then confirm the law that the richer the richer, the richer.

The two villages were not far away, and after crossing the river, across a ditch, I saw in the distance that there were many people standing in the field, gathering together and talking.

When Liu Meibao ran close to the river, Song Sanniang had already rushed into the crowd, and the crowd was dispersed, revealing Zhou Liangyu lying on the ground.

Human life is actually very light and cheap.....

Song Sanniang hugged Zhou Liangyu and cried and shouted, and then Liu Meibao saw Zhou Liangyu stretching out his hand and patting Song Sanniang's arm, as if comforting.

Liu Meibao let out a long sigh, and after this pause, Qingya and Xie Laosan caught up with her.
