Chapter 218: Good News
Qian Mingyuan looked at the people who came, arched his hand at them and said, "Several, I have prepared the silver money, but I can only give a hundred taels at the moment." Now the big cabinet of the mountain field is at Anton's side, it may be that something happened, and the money is indeed a little difficult to get together at this time, and I hope you will be lenient. Wait for Anton to send the money, and I'll give you the rest. ”
The person came to Qian Mingyuan and took the silver in Qian Mingyuan's hand. "Okay, the second cabinet of money is a trustworthy person, and we are not afraid that you will run away. We have said that let's not embarrass you too much. The man took the silver quite smoothly, and then said, "The second cabinet of money, since the silver has been handed over, we will not stay here for long, and there are still many mountain farms where we have not went, so we will leave." ”
As he spoke, the men turned and walked away.
Qian Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, just now he was really afraid that these people would be entangled here. Now he is in a hurry in his heart, and he is determined to leave quickly and go back to Anton to find his relatives, but he really doesn't have the heart to talk nonsense with these people. When these people walked away, Qian Mingyuan called out Jinxiu and Yun Xuelai, "Let's go, let's go back quickly." ”
Jinxiu sat in the carriage, and Qian Mingyuan drove the carriage. And Tianfu drove the ox to climb the plow, Yun Xue sat on the top of the plow, and the four of them came out of the mountain field together.
Qian Mingyuan was in a hurry to catch up with Anton, so the carriage ran faster. Yunxue They are oxen climbing plows, so naturally they can't catch up with the carriage so fast, and gradually fall behind. Qian Mingyuan drove the carriage and drove westward in a hurry, probably going out for three or four miles, and a horse galloped over.
Qian Mingyuan looked at the person on the horse and felt a little familiar, "Brother Zhang, is it you?" ”
When the man on the horse heard this, he pulled the reins hard, and the horse turned around and came back, "Old Qian, it's really you." Oops, what a coincidence. The big cabinet asked me to come to you and report to you. I didn't expect us to meet here, old money, where are you going? The man jumped from his horse. It turned out that this surnamed Zhang was also a person next to Zhou Dajie.
"I heard that something happened to Anton, so I thought I'd go back and take a look, and I don't know what happened to my family?" Qian Mingyuan jumped out of the carriage and came to the person surnamed Zhang.
"Yes, you don't have to go back, the big cabinet sent me here for this. Your sister-in-law, as well as several nephews, are all safe and sound. Only the little niece was lost, and she hasn't been found yet. In addition, the big cabinet also asked me to bring some money, saying that it was for the big guy to celebrate the New Year. The surnamed Zhang hurriedly said.
As soon as Qian Mingyuan heard this, his heart finally fell to the ground. He hadn't slept all night last night, and he kept thinking about the situation at home. Now that I have heard that my family is safe, this is a peace of mind. "Brother Zhang, my little girl is here. She came here to find me alone, otherwise how would I know what was going on with Anton? ”
The two of them started talking on the way, and Yun Xue and their plow also arrived at this time. Qian Mingyuan hurriedly told Yun Xue the good news, and Yun Xue was also very happy. The people of the Qian family are very good, and Yun Xue naturally doesn't want them to have an accident.
The surnamed Zhang took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Qian Mingyuan, "Old Qian, I have other things, I have to go to the north, and then I will go back to Andong from there." Do you have anything to say to your sister-in-law? Don't worry, I'll tell them about your little girl, so they don't have to worry. "This Zhou Da cabinet still has business elsewhere, and he has to go elsewhere to see.
Qian Mingyuan was still thinking about it just now, can he let this person bring Jinxiu back to Anton, but he didn't expect that people would have other things, so it would be difficult for him to speak. "It's okay, just bother my brother, tell my family, we're good here. Jinxiu is with me, waiting for the beginning of spring, I will take her back with me. Qian Mingyuan didn't worry about handing over the splendid to others, thinking about it, it was safer to stay by his side.
"Well, I'll bring that. Okay, I've got something to do, let's go. The man got on his horse and galloped away.
"This guy is really hot-tempered." Qian Mingyuan shook his head and said helplessly.
Since there is nothing at home, there is no need to rush back. But what should Jinxiu do? Qian Mingyuan looked at Yun Xue, "Yun Xue, can you let Jinxiu go to your house to live for a while?" If I don't go back to Andong now, there will be no place for Jinxiu to settle. ”
"That's good, I'm saying that I haven't gotten enough with Jinxiu, Jinxiu lives in my house, and I happen to have a companion." Yun Xue doesn't care, it's just eating alone, it's not a big deal. Jinxiu's temper is good, and he can get along with himself.
"Daddy, I won't bother Sister Yunxue, it's better for me to live in the mountains, I don't want to leave Daddy." Splendid poked her head out of the carriage. She hasn't come out of the fear of missing her relatives, and now that she finally saw her father, where is she willing to leave?
"No, the mountain field is not a place where you should stay, you should follow Yunxue and I can rest assured." Qian Mingyuan objected.
"No, I'm here, I don't want to leave Daddy. In the past, Sister Yunxue could be in the mountain field, why can't I? I can still help with cooking or something. When Jinxiu was in the Han family, I asked Yunxue why Yunxue wanted to dress up as a boy. At that time, in order to explain clearly, Yun Xue also told her what happened in the mountain field at that time.
Qian Mingyuan glared at his daughter, but found that there were tears in Jinxiu's eyes, and Qian Mingyuan couldn't help but feel soft. This kid is afraid that he is frightened and does not want to leave him. Forget it, it's better to let her stay in the mountains for a few days and talk about it later. "Okay, then Daddy is up to you. But you also have to dress up as a boy. And it's very bitter in the mountain field, don't cry when you go. ”
Jinxiu insisted on living in the mountains, and Qian Mingyuan had no choice but to agree. "Yunxue, this kid is also frightened, then I won't let her go back with you, or follow me on the mountain. Thank you so much this time, and my uncle doesn't know how to thank you. Qian Mingyuan said to Yun Xue.
"Okay, Uncle Qian, since the aunts are all fine, so the big guys can rest assured. Splendid beauty can also be on the mountain, and it is better to follow you anywhere. Uncle Qian, let's go home first, there are a lot of things at home, Uncle Qian will take Jinxiu to the village if you have time. Yun Xue smiled, knowing that there was nothing wrong with their family, Yun Xue was actually happy. The Qian family is very good, and Yun Xue doesn't want their family to be ruined.
"Splendid, be careful in the mountains, it's better to dress up as a boy. These wooden handles are nothing, but I looked at the bandits just now, and they did all kinds of evil. If you let them know you're a girl, you're going to get into big trouble. You must be careful, if there is anything you can't do, go to Yunzhen. He's big and strong, and he'll be able to help you. Yun Xue turned around and said a few words to Jinxiu.
"Sister Yunxue, thank you, you saved Jinxiu's life, Jinxiu is grateful to Sister Yunxue all her life." Jinxiu saluted to Yun Xue.
"Okay, they're all sisters of their own family, so they don't need so many courtesies. I'm leaving, you and Uncle Qian should take care. Yun Xue waved her hand and got back on the ox climbing plow.
Then the father and daughter turned around and walked back, while the Yunxue siblings went home.
There was nothing to do along the way, and when passing by the county seat, Yunxue did not stop. By the time it was almost dark in the afternoon, I finally returned home.
Tianfu led the cow to the cowshed, and Yunxue walked to the house. At this time, a big guy suddenly came out of the house, and knocked Yun Xue down at once.
"Rhubarb, you're naughty again." Yun Xue put her arms around the big guy's neck and smiled.
The big guy roared in displeasure, and Yun Xue immediately heard that something was wrong. "No, you're not Rhubarb, you're Rhubarb." The guy in front of him is much bigger than Rhubarb, and it turns out that Xiao Huang is back.
As soon as Xiao Huang heard that Yun Xue recognized herself, she was very satisfied and arched Yun Xue with her big head.
"Okay, okay, where have you been running away for so long, and you're not coming back to see us." Yun Xue complained.
Xiao Huang quarreled with Yun Xue for a while, and then let Yun Xue get up. Yun Xue patted the snow on her body and entered the house with Xiao Huang. Yun Ting and Yun Lei heard the movement outside and were about to come out to take a look. "Eldest sister, you're back, how is Sister Jinxiu? Did you go home with Uncle Qian? ”
Yun Xue entered the house, and then told everyone about the things on the mountain.
"Today is Sister Qianru's son Xisan, and Grandma Zhong asked someone to come and call us, but you are not at home. Grandma Zhong said that when the child is full moon, you have to go. Yunni poked her head out of the kitchen and said.
Yun Xue patted her head, she forgot about this. "Oh, why did you think I forgot about that? By the way, is there anything else going on in the past two days? ”
Sister Yuchan of the aunt's family went to see each other and said that the man was very good, and decided on the spot. I heard that they were going to get married after the year, and it seemed that the wedding date was set until February of the following year. In addition, on the other side of the old house, it seems that two women have been brought back from the other side of the river. I've heard people say that many people do this nowadays, saying that daughters-in-law are very cheap. Yunni told the story again.
"I heard that those two women are good-looking and not very old, but we can't understand what they say, and it will be very difficult to get along in the future." Yun Ting also interjected.
"I saw it, those two women were white, with big eyes and small mouths, and they were very good-looking. It's just very thin, as if it hasn't been able to eat for a long time. Yun Lei shouted over there. He was young, and he was always playing outside, and he saw him just when the old lady was coming back to collect people. "I heard the old lady say that a hundred catties of grain can be exchanged for one person. Eldest sister, how can this person exchange food? ”
