Chapter XXII

The inn was silent, and the sound of Yu'er's rolling tears falling on the table and her shaking little shoulders made people feel pity. This is just a four or five-year-old child, who should have been innocent and spoiled in the arms of his parents, but he suffered such an ordeal.

"How much silver did you sell?" Lan Yi asked suddenly, looking at the second cripple with a cold look in her eyes.

"Eight taels!" The second cripple subconsciously replied, and a surprised gasp sounded all around, it seems that the price is not low.

The second cripple was annoyed by his fast mouth and stomped his foot hard. He told his mother-in-law that it was sold for five taels, and he planned to pay off the gambling debts of the past few days.

Now that the matter of the second lame man selling his nephew has been confirmed, Lan Yi asked urgently: "If I go to the government to sue you for not caring for your young nephew and forcing you to be cheap, do you know what will happen to you?" ”

Seeing that the matter had been revealed, the second lame man panicked, and glared at Lan Yi with bloodshot eyes: "I'm his second uncle, how can I hurt him!" What do you little lady know, the yamen is not opened by your family, if you want to sue it, you can sue it, and you will pick up two layers of skin first when you go in for safekeeping! ”

Putting aside the cruel words, he pulled Yu'er up and was about to go out, but Yu'er was unguarded, and he almost fell down by him.

At this time, Chuncao stood up, walked to Lan Yi with the child in her arms, and scolded: "You wolf-hearted thing! I have done such things, and I dare to talk nonsense! This lady is the sister of Lord Chengmi of Meixian County, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense! ”

Although Chuncao is young, after all, he was born in a big family, and he has naturally seen a lot of people in the market, and he is also full of momentum when he scolds people.

The sixth son prepared the carriage at this time, and when he came in, he saw that the situation was not good, but when he saw Lan Yi Chuncao and a farmer opposing each other, he walked behind Lan Yi violently, glanced at the second lame, and Chuncao leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.

When the sixth son heard this, he respectfully bowed to Lan Yi and asked, "Madam, the villain has prepared the carriage, and we can set off at any time." Such a trivial matter is not done by Mrs. Lao, so the villain will go into the city to the Xia Mansion and call the Xia housekeeper? ”

After speaking, he glared at the second cripple again, with a look that you can't complain about others by yourself.

The second cripple subconsciously let go of Yu'er's arm, the flesh on his face trembled, and he changed it to a flattering smile. He doesn't know where Meixian is, he knows that this county is second only to the magistrate, Xia Mansion is one of the largest households in Huang County, and he can't afford to offend, this kind of people want to do him, it's almost like crushing an ant to death.

"Madam, you have a lot of adults, spare the villain this time." The second lame man slumped over and bent his knees, looking at Lan Yi and Liuzi with yellow teeth, regretting that he didn't have a good time when he went out today, and met this group of people.

Lan Yi ignored him, reached out and gently pulled Yu'er's hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and snot.

Yu'er turned his head away and dodged, perhaps sensing Lan Yi's kindness, he didn't break free of his hand. The baby ate his little hands, looked at Yu'er and smiled, breaking the whole atmosphere of Yan SΓΉ.

Liuzi glanced at the second lame: "Madam, how do you think this guy cooks?" ”

Lan Yi secretly sighed that this power was really useful, even the two house slaves Liuzi and Chuncao were much stronger than the posture she brought out, and she didn't plan to sue the second lame man. Even if he sues, what can Yu'er, the child, be abused?

"Five taels, I want this child. You wrote the letter of disconnection, and since then this child has nothing to do with you, so I will spare you this time. ”

The second lame man was trembling, and he was stunned when he heard Lan Yi's words, although five taels of silver was less, it was much better than being on the board.

"Madame is really a living bodhisattva, Yu'er following you is a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes. It's just that the little one can't read......"

"Less nonsense! Take the child's household register. The sixth son glared at him, he had already guessed what the situation was, since this cripple was going to sell his child, the household registration must be on his body.

The second lame man took out a page of household registration and handed it to the sixth son with both hands. Lan Yi asked the shopkeeper to write again, dictated it herself, and wrote a letter of severance, and Yu'er and Erlame both pressed their handprints. Since then, Yu'er and the second cripple have no relationship.

The second cripple quickly slipped away after getting the silver, and Lan Yi raised his head and motioned for the sixth son to follow.

Yu'er moved her feet to follow the second cripple, but Lan Yi reached out and pulled him down. She looked down at Yu'er's shabby clothes and open-toed straw sandals, and frowned, there were no clothes suitable for Yu'er to wear.

took out a string of copper coins and handed it to Chuncao, Lan Yi took the baby in her arms and ordered, "Chuncao, you go and sell clothes and shoes for Yu'er." Shop, please prepare two buckets of hot water and send them to the guest room. ”

Chuncao nodded happily, touched Yu'er's head and walked out quickly.

The people who were eating in the inn began to whisper again at this time, and Lan Yi didn't bother to pay attention, she took the two children back to the guest room in the backyard.

Let Yu'er sit on the bed, Lan Yi squatted in front of him with the baby in her arms, and said to him gently, "Yu'er, I'm Lan Yi, this is the baby, and the three of us will live together in the future." You will be more comfortable when you take a shower later, and don't rub the wounds on your body, be careful of inflammation. ”

One sheep is to drive, two sheep are also put, since the baby is accepted, it is not impossible to accept Yu'er. Lan Yi sighed in her heart, she didn't think she was a good person, but she really couldn't care about Yu'er's child.

Yu'er nodded lightly, snorting and not daring to move. He is young, but the living environment has taught him to observe words and feelings, he knows that Lan Yi is a good person, and his father said that good people like good children, so he must be obedient.

The store sent hot water, seeing that it was inconvenient for Lan Yi to take the child, he enthusiastically helped to mix the temperature, and brought an extra wooden basin over.

Lan Yi pulled Yu'er to the bathtub and asked him if he wanted to help, Yu'er shook her head slightly, Lan Yi put the small stool on the side of the bathtub, and told him to take off his clothes and step on the small stool to go in.

Chuncao bought a half-new cotton clothes, a pair of bast shoes, and two fragrant meatloaf, saying that Yu'er must not have eaten much.

"Sister Chuncao, thanks to you today. If it weren't for you and the six sons, I would definitely not be able to control those two lame people. Lan Yi said sincerely, Chuncao was Xia Wan's personal maid, and she was a little embarrassed to instruct her like this.

Chuncao hurriedly shook her head, she was deeply blessed, and her tone was full of respect: "It's all what the slave and maid should do, you let the slave and maid admire it tightly, and the slave didn't dare to stand up and fight for Yu'er at that time, so she was sulking there." Yu'er, this kid can follow you, and it's also a blessing for him to cultivate. ”

Chuncao felt that the second lame man was right, she saw Lan Yi's behavior clearly along the way, and knew that Lan Yi was capable, and Yu'er would not be hungry if she followed her. Chuncao also wanted to save Yu'er at that time, but she was a little girl, and she was not a free body, so how could she place Yu'er if she saved him?

Yu'er behind the screen finished taking a shower at this time and stepped on a small stool to get out of the bathtub. When Chuncao heard this, she hurriedly brought her clothes and shoes to the screen, and quickly changed Yu'er with her hands and feet, and pulled him out.

Although Yu'er was still nervously straining her little face, the joy and tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped. The shoes on the soles of his feet and the clothes on his body were warm and comfortable, there were no holes or patches, and he had never worn such good clothes during the New Year.

Haruka smiled and dried his hair, neatly combing his hair flat into sides, pulling it into a bun and tying it with silk threads. Then he looked Yu'er up and down, pretending not to see his scars, and praised Yu'er for being good-looking.

"Our Yu'er is really good-looking, like the golden boy next to Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is blessed at first glance."

Yu'er was a little embarrassed, her little face was flushed, and she couldn't help but want to try if she could pinch out the water, Chun Tao touched his little face, "Sister bought a meatloaf, Yu'er tasted it?" ”

The patty with white noodles and stewed meat wafts through the fragrance. Yu'er looked at the meatloaf handed to her and looked up at Lan Yi.

Lan Yi smiled and nodded, and when Yu'er saw it, she reached out and took the meatloaf and ate it in a big gulp. Chuncao hurriedly poured water for him again, the little girl of twelve or thirteen was more like a mother than Lan Yi, Lan Yi couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and secretly thought that the sixth son was also blessed.

Yu'er stopped eating a meatloaf, and Lan Yi discussed with him whether to go to his parents' grave to worship before leaving? Yu'er nodded vigorously.

In the past few days, he knew that his father had gone to sleep with his mother in the soil at the edge of the village, and he could no longer come out to see him, Yu'er missed his father.
