247 The days are hard
Immediately after, a voice sounded overhead, "Get in the car." ”
Bai En turned his head and saw Gu Qing waving towards him.
He stood in place in a daze, and Xia Zhu patted him before he reacted.
Gu Qing called him again, "Get in the car, let's go to your house to see your eldest sister." ”
Bai En was frightened, "No, no, my eldest sister is really fine, really fine." ”
He said that he was going to run again, as if then they would not find their home.
However, after only taking a step, he was pulled back by Xia Zhu.
"Hurry up, the carriage is parked here blocking the road."
As soon as the words fell, Bai En found himself being carried by her like a kitten and a dog and went straight to the carriage.
His eyes widened, this person has so much strength.
Bai En was not very old, he looked like he was seven or eight years old, but he was thin and small, and the wheel was still a little tall for him, he looked down and hesitated for a while.
After just a few moments of neutralization, the carriage moved.
Bai En could only hold on to the car door tightly, not daring to move.
Gu Qing asked him to come in to hide from the sun, and he also shook his head frantically.
Gu Qing was not reluctant, and after seeing that he was no longer trying to get out of the car, she asked her about the specific situation.
But this kid felt that he had said too much before, so he caused Gu Qing and the others to go to his house, which might cause the eldest sister to have no work.
Therefore, when Gu Qing asked something, he lowered his head and repeated in a low voice, "My eldest sister is really fine, don't bother the county so much, the county lord." ”
Gu Qing and Xia Zhu glanced at each other, stroked their foreheads helplessly, and could only stop the topic for the time being.
It didn't take long for the carriage to pass by the dessert shop that was open, and Gu Qing and the others didn't get out of the car, but just looked inside through the gate.
The store was full, and business was booming.
Gu Qing quickly retracted his gaze and sat back in the carriage.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the south alley.
The intersection of the south lane is narrow, and the carriage is not easy to enter.
Xia Zhu parked the carriage at the intersection and asked someone to watch it, and the three of them got out of the car and walked inside.
The closer she got to the Bai family, the more anxious Bai En became, and she turned around several times to secretly look at Gu Qing, and she seemed to want to dispel her idea of going to his house.
However, the Bai family was not far away, and it didn't take long for a few people to arrive.
At this time, many neighbors surrounded the Bai family's house, and they were talking about the collapsed roof of the Bai family.
An aunt turned around and saw Bai En, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Bai En, where did you go this morning?" Why are you still running around when your house has collapsed? The doctor has come to your house, and I don't know what happened to your eldest sister, so let's go in and have a look. ”
When Bai En heard this, he quickly squeezed through the crowd and walked in.
Gu Qing and Xia Zhu also walked forward, and the aunt was stunned when she saw it, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Bai Jin's owner."
The aunt's eyes suddenly lit up, "You are the lord of Rongchang, Bai Jin's owner?" You're coming to see Bai Jin? ”
The aunt hurriedly saluted Gu Qing: "Hey, let me tell you, Bai Jin is pitiful, it's not easy to take her younger brothers and sisters alone, the county lord gave her a good job, but it can be regarded as saving their family's life, the county lord is a good person, the county ......"
Before the aunt finished speaking, Bai En, who had run in earlier, ran back again.
He interrupted his aunt's words and hurriedly invited Gu Qing and them to go inside.
The aunt stomped her feet, this stupid boy, don't let her sell miserably, what if the county lord dislikes Bai Jin and doesn't hire her if she is injured?
Gu Qing and the two entered the courtyard, Bai Jin closed the courtyard door, and the two of them saw the structure of the Bai family clearly.
The Bai family is not very big, it is a relatively old-fashioned courtyard, in addition to the main house facing the gate, there are two rooms next to it, so the yard is a little crowded.
Now in the location of the main house, a large part of the roof has collapsed directly, but the room added next to it is unharmed.
The room where Bai Jin lived was not big, and there was an elderly doctor who prescribed prescriptions in it.
In addition to this, there was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old in the room, and a little boy of three or four years old.
When the girl saw Gu Qing, she hurriedly stood up, "You ......"
"I'm the owner of Qinghan's desserts."
The girl immediately became nervous, hurriedly ran over and brought a stool, wiped it carefully with her sleeve, and then asked Gu Qing to sit down.
Gu Qing thanked him, and walked to the edge of the bed to look at Bai Jin first.
She closed her eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, but her brows were tightly twisted, and she didn't look very comfortable.
Gu Qing asked the doctor about the situation.
The doctor handed the prescription to the girl, and then said, "Fortunately, but her back was smashed, she avoided the vital point, suffered some internal injuries, vomited a mouthful of blood, rested well, and will recover soon." ”
Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and after seeing the doctor leave, she looked at the girl again.
She remembered that Bai Jin's sister was called Bai Xin, and she should be the one in front of her.
According to Mama Rong, Bai Jin's family has four brothers and sisters, and she entered the palace when she was ten years old. Leaving the palace at the age of seventeen, judging from her ability and the savings she has accumulated in the palace, it is no problem for her to find someone to marry.
But when she went out of the palace and came home, her father and mother died.
There are three brothers and sisters left, because the family is poor, and there are younger brothers and sisters to raise, and life is really hard.
The second sister Bai Xin is not very old, but she has begun to bear the burden of the family.
The third brother Bai En helped take care of the little brother who was only three or four years old, and it was the child that Gu Qing saw just now.
Bai Jin came out of the palace and faced such a scene. Bai Jin's parents borrowed some silver money at that time, and those creditors heard that Bai Jin had come back from the palace and came to collect debts.
Although Bai Jin resented her parents for selling her into the palace, she couldn't bear it for her younger siblings.
Especially the second sister, who was three or four years younger than her, had a very good relationship between the two back then. When she was sent away, the second sister didn't know that her parents took her away overnight.
Now looking at the second sister who is thin and weak, and the timid and thin third brother and fourth brother who he has never seen, Bai Jin can't harden his heart and turn around and leave.
She used the money on her body to pay off her debts, and as the eldest sister, she began to bear the burden of the family.
However, even if she learned some skills in the palace and was literate, the gap between the rich and the poor was too great in these years, and it was difficult for the poor to live in the end, and it was still more and more difficult for the family.
Bai Jin looks good, he is also diligent, and he can earn money to support his family, so he naturally comes to the door to say goodbye. But Bai Jin knew in her heart that it was already the limit that she could support her younger brothers and sisters, and where would she dare to delay others.
As for getting married, it's even more impossible, she gets married, what about her younger brother?
Fortunately, the younger brothers and sisters are sensible, the neighbors are harmonious, and the family's debts have been paid off, and they are finally getting better.
Especially now that she has a job in the shop and a stable income, she won't worry about it every day.
Gu Qing sighed secretly in her heart, Bai Jin was a little better than Murong Xue, that is, this courtyard was her own house, so she could have a place to stay.
She withdrew her gaze, but turned around to meet Bai Xin's gaze.
Bai Xin grabbed the prescription and wanted to grab the medicine, but Gu Qing was here, and it was difficult for her to leave.
Gu Qing smiled, "You give the prescription to Xia Zhu, she runs fast, and she knows which pharmacy has good and cheap medicinal materials." ”
Bai Xin was stunned, she couldn't rest assured that the eldest sister and younger brothers, plus the eldest sister said that the Gu Dong family was a person, and there was nothing to worry about, so she gave the prescription to Xia Zhu.
Immediately, he took out a small piece of broken silver from his body and handed it over, Xia Zhu took it over and soon left the Bai family.
