A few people climbed out of the dry well, through the fence, and ran towards the nearby village.

"Huh? Girls, what's wrong? ”

Coincidentally, there was a white-haired old lady sitting at the gate of the courtyard at the head of the village, and I saw their group hurrying with a gray face.

Hurriedly stopped them.

"Several of our sisters went to the city to look for relatives, and we didn't want the eldest sister to get sick halfway, so we were slaughtered by the coachman and put the silver on the side of the road, so we found a place with people!"

Firecracker said before Rika opened her mouth.

"This ..... This seems to be not light! Lao Ji stared at the skinny Qi on Pear Blossom's back: "What kind of disease does this have to suffer from to toss like this?" ”

"Oh! My eldest sister has been weak since she was a child, and she has been tired from running around recently, so she has contracted a cough disease, and her throat is swollen and she can't swallow all day long, so she is so thin......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

When the second lady heard this, she coughed a few times very cooperatively.

"Oh, are the girls looking for food or an inn?"

"We want to spend a few nights and leave when my sister is well, I wonder if there is any time at home?"

"This ..... Our family's harvest has not been good in recent days, and although my son has gone to the city to work, he ......."

"Don't worry, although we have been slaughtered some silver taels, it is enough to entangle, and staying in your house will not cause you trouble."

As he spoke, Firecracker took out a few taels of silver from his purse.

"We will pay for food, housing and transportation, and if it weren't for my sister's body being really unbearable, we wouldn't stop here."

"Good! Good! No trouble, we just have a spare room in our house, but we still need a few girls to squeeze in......"

"It's okay, just have a place to live!"

Firecrackers put away their purses and instructed Pear Blossom to carry the second lady into the courtyard with Lao Ji first.

When Ruyu and the three of them entered the house, the firecrackers were still standing in the yard, looking at the direction of the dry well not far away, thinking about something.

"Why didn't the girl go in? Although the disadvantage is small, the things are quite complete, and the big wooden bed in the house is not a problem to squeeze four people. ”

"Thank you aunt for taking me in, we won't be able to stay for a few days, if I'm not here in the near future, please prepare more ingredients, I'll pay the money."

"The girl is too worried, our countryside is open, we are self-sufficient in food, we can eat whatever we plant in the field, and we will never be hungry for the girls."

Cut, didn't you just say that the harvest was not good? Now you're willing to take out the food?

"Girl, please come with me into the house and have a look?" Lao Ji walked ahead and led the way.

Firecrackers followed behind, and their eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of two pairs of boots drying on a wooden frame under the wall.

"On these boots? How can there be a patch? Firecracker stared strangely at the boots, which were actually embroidered with patterns.

"Oh? This is a child's boots, a few days ago I went out and got dirty, and we poor people live a little save,

The boots are broken, as long as they can still be worn, they can be repaired, but they can't be thrown away, and it will cost a lot of money to buy them again!

This is what my daughter-in-law embroidered, my daughter-in-law embroidered well, these ten miles and eight towns, I can't pick out a better embroidery than her. ”

Firecracker nodded and didn't say anything more, but a thought flashed through his mind.

"Why don't firecrackers come in to eat?" The second lady asked, leaning on the bed.

This room is so small that I can't even move the screen of Dounan Pavilion!

And the bed was stained and mottled, she didn't even want to sit, she wanted to go to the street to buy a set of beds.

But when you think about it, you can't be big under the fence now, in case you are hypocritical and seen by firecrackers,

I have to count her down again, nagging that she is ignorant and has failed the company of a few girls.

"I don't know, I just came in for a while, and I ran out again, and there was no one in the yard."

Pear blossom chewed the steamed bun in her mouth and whispered.

"Don't worry, I'll look for her later, I can't lose it."

Ruyu took a bowl of egg drop soup and handed it to the second lady.

"What the hell does this girl have a little idea......

The second lady looked out the door,

Fortunately, she was saved from Adult Creek a few years ago, and today she got her life back.

If the slut of Adult Creek knew, the silver teeth that were still not angry would be crushed, and it would be uncomfortable to swallow it in the stomach.

actually lost such a clever and intelligent girl.

"Don't worry, whoever loses her can't lose it, I'm absolutely confident in this!"

Rika patted her chest and said, "The ideas in her mind are all turning around, and they are all about to turn to the moat outside the palace.

Who can do anything with her? I even went to the swamp and came back unharmed, and if it were me, I would have turned into a handful of mud in a quagmire. ”

"I'm embarrassed to say that in addition to eating and eating for a day, I was thrown away from the temple and abandoned, and you still can't leave every meal of leftovers and cold rice."

Ruyu sighed and shook her head.

"Eat, eat, eat, it's a blessing to be able to eat......"

The second lady was amused by their bickering: "I saw that the pear blossom actually lost some weight,

It's kind of incredible. ”

"Madame! Why are you taunting me too? It's not enough to be nagged by the two of them on weekdays? ”

Although he said this, the chopsticks in his hand never stopped for a moment.

"When you go back to the house, I will reward you with a few boxes of pastries, and if you eat enough, you can make up for the lack of food in recent days!"

"Hey, hey, hey...... Thank you, ma'am! Rika smiled at this time.

"Ruyu, those words I told you yesterday ......"

Second Lady Qi turned her words and looked at Ruyu.

"Madam, Ruyu doesn't want to leave the house."

"Why?" Qi sat up straight.

"Yesterday, when I heard about Mrs. 's arrangement, Ruyu had mixed feelings in her heart, and she cried when she got out of the house.

When I was seen by a firecracker, I was awakened by a remark, and she said that if I had any ideas to tell my wife, she would not be embarrassed by me. ”

"And what's your problem?"

"Ruyu doesn't want to return to her hometown, she doesn't want to be forced to marry, and she doesn't want to be a puppet for her family to pay off her debts......."

"Alas! Well, I also know a thing or two about your family, if you don't want to go back, I'll keep you for a few more years.

When you save enough silver taels, find a wishful husband, allow you a set of dowry, and marry out in a beautiful way. ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Ruyu knelt on the ground, and the pear blossom beside her was displeased again.

"Madam, obviously I have been with you for the longest time, how can I see you giving Ruyu a dowry and firecracker jewelry,

Didn't you help me find an in-law? I'm the eldest of the three......."

"You, I'm not at ease yet, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law won't be able to bear it now, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law won't be able to bear it."

"Why can't you stand it?" Ruyu picked up another steamed bun, but her mouth was still full.

"Your manners, if you are discovered by the housekeepers and aunts in the house, you must first hit a few sticks, and then adjust them separately.

Secondly, where can ordinary people serve your food? A meal of three meals for ordinary women, if it weren't for the Prime Minister's Mansion, ordinary people would have been eaten by you a long time ago. ”

"I ..... Is it wrong to eat too much? Don't I have to work every day? ”

After hearing this, Pear Blossom glanced at the half-eaten steamed bun in her hand, wanting to put it and putting it but reluctant to eat it, wanting to eat it but not daring to eat it.

"I haven't finished speaking, you have a temper, a little disagreeing with you, and immediately shouting and screaming, like a street cockfighting troupe,

What man doesn't get scared away? ”

"That's because they're too timid, and I don't bother to find such cowardly people!"

"Forget how I was excluded in Qi Mansion before? After all these years, I don't see that you have grown at all.

I can't care about you for a lifetime, if you get married, you must be self-disciplined in everything. ”

"Hey, hey, I'm just having fun with my wife, I'm not in a hurry to get married!"

The second lady shook her head when she heard this, and just as she wanted to say something more, she heard the wooden door creak and be pushed open.

"I'm back!"

Firecrackers stood in front of the door, and there were a few weeds in their hair.

"What are you doing here?" The second lady looked at her suspiciously.

"I walked around, surveyed the terrain, and went to the other side of the mountain to get a food box and came back.

We can't be noticed, we're going down the mountain! ”

"It's a pity that you don't enter the palace to be a dragon army!"

Taking advantage of everyone's attention on the firecrackers, Pear Blossom took the opportunity to nibble on another bite of steamed buns.

"It's a special time, and it's ...... to be cautious"

"Firecrackers, next time you have anything else to run errands, you can take me with you!"

Ruyu Mao then recommended herself that since she came back from the firecrackers, she felt that she was like a pear blossom, and it was useless.

"Don't worry, your task is to keep Madame company."

"Isn't there still a pear blossom?" Ruyu looked at the pear blossoms in front of the dinner table.

"Sister Pear Blossom has to do some physical work!"

Firecracker sneered and sat down at the dining table and put the food box on the table: "You will eat all the food of the four of us." ”

"Isn't there still a food box? Let me see what kind of food was delivered? ”

Pear Blossom stared at the food box with a pair of big eyes.

"Oh, braised hooves, stewed chicken soup, fried lotus root slices."

"Wow, hooves!" Rika touched her round belly.

"Can you still eat it?" Ruyu glanced at her with disgust, took out the chicken soup in the food box, and brought it to Second Mrs. Qi.

Just now, Firecracker politely refused her help, she was really a little sad in her heart, could she still doubt her?

"Clip a piece for Madame, you can't eat too much, this thing is too oily."

"What do you think about this kitchen, the second lady is sick now, why is she giving some such greasy food?"

Ruyu asked unhappily.

"Maybe I think we are infected with the epidemic, time is short, and a few meals can be eaten!" Firecrackers also served chicken soup and drank a few sips.

After dinner, Ruyu ran to the yard to breathe, but somehow, her heart was a little stuffy, as if there was a stone filling in her heart.

"What's wrong? Because I'm not happy about what I just said? ”

Firecrackers came behind her at some point.

"There is no ......" is like a jade mouth.

She is not like a pear blossom, she always wants to compete for favor in front of the second lady, and she has never been jealous of the cleverness of firecrackers, but the taste of being suspected and snubbed really embarrassed her,

Now the second lady proposed to send her out of the house, only to make her feel that she had become an outsider in South Park.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that some plans haven't been implemented yet, and I still need time to plan slowly, Sister Ruyu has always been safe, and I can only do things outside with peace of mind if I keep taking care of my wife."

"You don't have to say such nice words!"

Ruyu turned around and left, she had heard too many high-sounding words.

"Ruyu, I need your help now, I wonder if my sister can enjoy it?"

"Isn't there a pear blossom?" Ruyu said angrily.

"This is busy, it has to be Sister Ruyu!"

"Oh? What's the need for me? Although his face was expressionless, the boredom in his heart disappeared by half.

"The stakes are high! You can't go wrong! ”

"What's the matter?" Ruyu's eyes widened excitedly, and her heart was inexplicably excited.
