When she was twelve or thirteen years old, the little girl's appearance completely opened.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be impossible to prevent it!

The princes in the palace are old and young, and I heard that the emperor's body and bones are also acceptable, although the prince has not been established, but the battle for the succession of several princes has intensified.

When Xie Yanzhi enters the officialdom, after a few years, Cai Wei's age has also arrived.

It is said that civil officials have qualifications, as the children of small eunuchs, no, they are stepdaughters, Cai Wei will eventually be used as a bargaining chip to win over Xie Yanzhi and marry back.

At that time, it is not a question of whether you want to or not, and because of your low status, you can only be a concubine.

It is said that it is better to be a poor wife than a concubine of a high family, rather than so, it is better to leave far away.

Only by leaving and being a parent official can you protect people.

As for Yuan Niang, she looks good, but she has given birth to a child after all, and she is still old, so she has no scruples.

Cai Wei didn't seem to understand, she only knew that what her aunt and father said was for her good.

She turned her head to look at Xie Yanzhi, afraid that he would be embarrassed, and was about to say that when she was older, she would go back to Xinyang Mansion to accompany Master.

didn't wait for her to speak, but heard her father say: "What my aunt said is that Shao'an also has this intention!" ”

When Cai Wei heard this, her eyes turned red.

"Daddy—"

Xie Yanzhi saw the gratitude in her eyes, so he bent down slightly, and said to her with a smile: "Cai Wei, if my father leaves the capital to take office in a local place after becoming an official, it is not only because of you, but also to realize his ambitions." Your mother knows this, don't believe you ask her! ”

Li Yuan nodded at the right time on the side: "Yes, Caiwei, don't think too much, your father's wish is to be a parent official of one party and benefit the common people." This can be seen from the fact that your father had to take the time to guide Lord Xu in Liuyun County during the busy township test. ”

Even so, Cai Wei was still grateful.

She knew that her father had great talents, and it would be better if he stayed in the capital after becoming an official.

Her master had said the same thing!

Zhou Caijing saw that they had finished speaking, so she looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Sister, are we going to the Yamen to pass the deed now?" ”

"It's late, it's still blocked outside, I'm afraid it's not so fast."

Li Yuan's words fell, and she turned to Mama Ou: "Mama Ou, I think that lady should not be untargeted, what do you want to say?" ”

When Zhou Caijing and Qingmei heard this, they glanced at each other, and then called the people in this mansion together and asked the housekeeper to arrange for other empty mansions.

Because the house was empty all of a sudden, Li Yuan asked Cai Wei to take her sister back to the room to rest, and let Li Laohan's ancestors and grandchildren leave, so she had no scruples.

Mama Ou stood in the courtyard and pursed her lips for a while before she said, "Madam, Song Fanghua didn't admit the old slave by mistake!" ”

It was only now that Li Yuan knew that the woman's name was Song Fanghua.

Since she was not mistaken, what did she mean by that? What does it mean that your whole family is exiled to the land of Lingnan and never allowed to return to Beijing? Aren't you the housekeeper of the original house? ”

Mama Ou was entangled and said honestly: "Yes, but it's not!" The old slave was sold to the Taichang Temple Qing Mansion, but it was not a dead deed girl, but a living deed. It was supposed to be in the double decade, and the deed could be redeemed and freedom returned. However, in the twenty-eighth year, my wife was pregnant, so she opened my face and sent me to serve my master. It's just that the old slave didn't want to be a concubine with someone, so he stayed by his wife's side as a steward. ”

"In the year of the raid, the old slave was already twenty-three. Although he is in charge of the living contract, he has just been in production for less than a year, and he is half the master of the house after all. They were exiled, and the old slaves naturally followed. However, at the critical moment, the lord and the lady took out my deed of sale, saying that I was not a concubine, but a living deed steward in the house, so I was able to escape in the end. Originally, I could redeem the deed of sale with my own money, and I didn't have to be resold. ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he already understood, so he asked: "But your child is the master of the house, and he will be exiled with him." You were not at ease, and you had no way to follow, so you gave them the silver, and you had no choice but to be sold as a slave to sin? ”

The tears in Mama Ou's eyes fell like pearls with broken threads.

"Hmmm! But even so, those officials took so much money from me, and in the end my child was gone! ”

People who are mothers can't listen to this kind of talk the most, especially Qingmei who has a child who has died young.

She hugged Mama Ou with empathy.

Mama Ou wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "If my child is still alive, it is now the age to marry a wife and have children. However, I didn't even get to see him for the last time. Before he was taken away, he wouldn't even call his mother ......"

Li Yuan saw that she was sad and couldn't help herself, so she couldn't continue the topic, so she asked: "What is the relationship between you who pulled you before?" ”

Mama Ou wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief again, and took a deep breath before saying, "Song Fanghua is the distant cousin of the old slave's original wife, and I heard that her mother's family is down. At the beginning, after knowing that his wife was pregnant, he ran to the house diligently, as if he wanted to be a concubine for the master. Later, I don't know what happened, but once after she came, my wife came to me the next day and said that she knew that my mother-in-law was seriously ill and lacked money. She can help find a doctor, and she can also help pay for my mother's house to build a house. The condition is that I will serve the lord and not get pregnant for five years. ”

Hearing her words, everyone present understood that she was angry!

Perhaps in Song Fanghua's view, she couldn't marry a third-grade official because she was robbed by Mama Ou.

No wonder you are so angry with her!

Li Yuan asked bluntly: "So, even if outsiders know that your name is Wanhua, it doesn't matter who the former master is?" ”

"It's okay! The old slave was sold as a slave of sin. It's just that the old slave doesn't want to mention this name, it is the name given by the old slave after serving the master. Before the old slave entered the house at the age of five, his name was Meiya, and after entering the house, the old lady named him Xia Lian. However, compared to these, the old slave prefers to be called Ouya, and he prefers to call the old slave Ou Mama. ”

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the affirmative words.

It's better not to be exiled and run away or be replaced, otherwise she is really afraid that one day her brother Xie will become an official, and someone will use this matter against him.

"Okay, I know that. If we meet that Song Fanghua again in our family, you will be more upright and reply directly about your. If she doesn't give up, we don't have to be afraid, just go straight to court. We can eat anything, but we can't suffer, you know? ”

When Mama Ou heard the words that she couldn't suffer, the corners of her tearful eyes suddenly burst into laughter.

"Well, the old slave knows!"

After saying these words, Li Yuan thought of her brother Xie and said that she asked Brother Cao to buy two mountains in Lanxia City, and was going to start cultivating tea in the next year, so she asked: "Mama Ou, are you still in touch with the former master over the years?" ”
