Chapter 103: Nine Mile Town (Goddess Festival Plus Update)

Xia Qiyue was frightened, and hurriedly reached out to touch An Qingling's forehead, afraid that the child would be burned.

But this touch, I feel that the fever has subsided, how can this child still forget people.

"Ling'er, I'm your fourth aunt, why don't you know me?" Xia Qiyue asked tentatively.

"I know you, I know you are my fourth aunt!" An Qingling lowered her head, "But the fourth aunt, you feel like a mother!" I've never been held and slept like that by my mother, it's so warm, it's so comfortable, I'm... Can I call you mother? ”

Although he was only five years old, An Qingling spoke clearly and clearly, and the words he said were sad and distressing.

"Mother... Sister Ling'er is so pitiful...... "The first one who can't help crying is Xiao Ke'er", "Mother, you just let Sister Ling'er call you mother, okay?" ”

Xia Qiyue couldn't cry or laugh, and touched Ke'er's head, "Sister Ling'er has her own mother, if Sister Ling'er calls her mother her mother, her mother will be unhappy!" ”

"But her mother doesn't want her anymore!" Xuan'er added.

Leaving Xia Qiyue speechless, what can she do? I can only take Ling'er with me first.

"Ling'er, you just go with Ke'er's sister Xuan'er's brother first, okay?"

An Qingling's small eyes raised her head brightly, and she promised crisply, "Okay!" ”

In the morning, for convenience, they ate dry food, which was steamed buns bought halfway.

After An Zihao finished eating, he angrily went to find Ge Mingyu and his wife.

I came back after a long time, and then called Xia Qiyue out to talk.

But after standing for a while, I didn't know how to speak.

Xia Qiyue couldn't wait, and took the lead in speaking, "Second brother and sister-in-law, don't you want Ling'er?" ”

An Zihao nodded, shook his head again, and then said with some stumbling words, "Fourth sister-in-law, second sister-in-law means let... Let you buy Ling'er..."

An Zihao didn't know how to say this, and felt a hot pain on his face.

What is this called? He didn't care about his own daughter, and he had to force others to buy her girl, not only to support her, but also to give them silver.

Xia Qiyue was not surprised, and it was not the first time that Ge Mingyu had the idea of selling his daughter.

"Good! Eight taels, let her write the deed of sale and let Li Zheng sign and draw it for me to send over, just when I did the household registration, Ling'er was my daughter! ”

An Zihao's eyes were full of various emotions, and for a while, he suppressed the turbulence in his heart, nodded, and promised to leave.

Over there, when Ge Mingyu heard that Xia Qiyue had promised to buy her daughter, she was so excited that she was like winning the lottery.

But in the next second, Liu Mei's voice remembered, "Second brother and sister, when I sold our family's words, I only kept one or two, and gave the rest to my mother!" ”

Old lady An was also waiting, Liu Mei finished speaking for her, and looked at Ge Mingyu directly.

Ge Mingyu gritted his teeth, but he still had no choice but to nod in the face of the old lady, "Sister-in-law, don't remind me, I know!" ”

It is not good to speak bluntly, Old woman An snorted coldly, and waited excitedly for her granddaughter's sale of money.

Li Zheng did not hesitate to write a deed of sale to Ge Mingyu, signed and painted a fingerprint.

Since it was Xia Qiyue who wanted to buy An Qingling, no one who heard it gossiped, but they were all happy for An Qingling, and she could no longer suffer in the future.

I don't know how many people want to sell their daughters to Xia Qiyue.

Before noon, the official messenger came, saying that they had already settled down, and arranged them in Jiuli Town, which was nine miles away from the capital, but it was not in the town, but in a village not far from the town.

I heard the official say that this village was not originally a village, but just a wilderness, and there were too many refugees, so there was nowhere to resettle, so there could only be Cypriots within a radius of 100 miles, but they came one step late, and other people were saturated, and they couldn't be stuffed at all.

So I gathered the next few waves of people together and built a village in the wilderness not far from Jiuli Town.

"Let's go quickly, we can help the officials tidy up the temporary porridge shed together before dark!"

That's what Rizheng said in his last sentence.

Xia Qiyue guessed based on what he said, is the imperial court going to build a porridge shed to temporarily settle these refugees, and then let them build their own houses?

But what she thought was a little too good, and when she finally arrived at the so-called new village, she found that it was a village, it was obviously a wilderness, and there were no houses at all, just a few porridge shacks that had just been made.

And the people who came before all spread their own bedding on the ground, and many people had a shed, driving Dang Xue crazy.

And their Shanbei Zhuangzi was later, there was not even a porridge shack, everyone stood in the wilderness, messy in the wind.

It's not as good as the temporary rest spot they found on the road, where the wind was blowing everywhere and there was no place to block it.

Just as Xia Qiyue was complaining, Li Zheng was called over by the official to talk for a while, and after talking for a while, he came over in a hurry and took the men away to work.

To be precise, it is to build several porridge sheds, which can accommodate more than 300 people in their Shanbei Zhuangzi.

After the men went, not long after, a horse-drawn cart came with goods, which meant that there was porridge for them to drink in the evening.

This Tianzi still has a lot of love for the people, and he can arrange the victims so well, and he is settling down, returning the porridge shed, and giving porridge.

"Huh? July girl, tell you that this porridge shack will not be removed until we build our own yard! Seeing Xia Qiyue get out of the carriage, Wang Da Zui hurried over and said to her, "This is finally some protection!" ”

Xia Qiyue originally thought that the relief food that the official said would give them food, but it was given in this way.

"Aunt Big Mouth, it seems that a cauldron has been set up over there to start cooking?" Xia Qiyue pointed to the three carriages that had just been pulled over, which were iron pots and firewood, and there should be a few bags of grain, followed by many people dressed as maids and women, and asked.

In fact, she never got off the carriage, and her carriage was afraid of being abrupt, so An Youde and they parked the carriage farther away.

"Yes, it seems that it is a big official in the capital who is giving porridge today, I don't know, but it seems that there is a lot of food brought!"

"Great official? Soup kitchen? Isn't it relief food from the imperial court? Xia Qiyue asked in a lonely voice.

"You haven't heard of that, have you? There is only one meal of relief food a day given by the imperial court, and this second meal is the porridge given by rich people in the capital, and we can eat two meals a day! ”

I have to say that people are called big mouths, and this news is also well-informed enough.

Xia Qiyue figured out that it turned out that where the victims were arranged, the officials there had to be responsible for collecting donations.

And they belong to the capital, and Jiuli Town is only nine miles away from the capital, so it is normal for the big officials in the capital to come over.

However, it is only nine miles away from the capital, but the boundary is nine miles away, and the population and houses are far away from the capital, according to the distance they hurried, there are thirty miles to say the least, they did not pass through Jiuli Town, and went around here directly, and they don't know what the mayor of Jiuli Town is like, Xia Qiyue has no interest in porridge, but has a strong interest in the town so close to the capital.
