Chapter 16 The future is bright
When the little girl heard this, the blood on her face instantly disappeared, and the mist quickly condensed in her beautiful eyes, and she looked very pitiful.
"Alas, don't cry, don't cry, a little girl like you is really pitiful, it's better like this, I'll show you the way, I'll send a batch of maids to the Zhou Mansion in a while, why don't you just follow along, if you can be favored by the Zhou Mansion, at least you can save your life, how about it?"
Hearing this, the little girl couldn't bear it anymore, and actually cried "dushly".
The wide-faced man looked at her pear blossom with rain, and his heart was overjoyed, so he hurriedly persuaded harder.
"At the moment, being able to survive is the most important thing, and the eldest young master in the Zhou Mansion is still favored by the immortals, and he will go to Luohua Sect to learn the skills of the immortals in the near future, and Master Zhou is also on the rise, becoming the first auxiliary minister of our Qingxi country, and he sees that the future is bright. ”
The little girl's crying gradually became quieter.
The wide-faced man saw that there was a great opportunity, and continued: "If you enter the Zhou Mansion, at least you don't have to continue to be hungry, this is one, this is the second, the monthly case can also be used to subsidize the family, and the third, if you are favored by Young Master Zhou or Master Zhou, it will be a great thing, once you have a relationship with the immortals, then maybe you can also become an immortal." ”
Hearing this, the little girl finally stopped crying completely, raised her head, and asked weakly, "Is what Mr. said true?"
"Naturally, there is no cheating, and we have always acted above board, and we will never do anything that is not on the table, otherwise Mrs. Zhou would not have asked us to give people inside. The wide-faced man patted his chest and reassured.
At this moment, the man in gray walked out of a corner, carrying a few hot buns in his hand, and the timing was just right.
The moment the little girl saw the bun, a trace of anxiety welled up in her eyes, but under the influence of a good tutor, she still did not forget to politely thank her first, and then carefully took the bun, and she didn't care about the heat, and held it tightly in the palm of her hand.
A look of gratitude.
The wide-faced man saw her action, and knew that there was a big drama, so he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The girl has something unspeakable, she has lived in Qingzhou City since she was a child, and she has a clear door to the situation in this area, if you don't dislike it, I can't say that I can help one or two." ”
"Don't hide it, sir, my mother has been sick for a long time, I want to 。。。。。。 The woman hesitated for a moment before she spoke out a little embarrassed.
And the voice became quieter and quieter, and finally he lowered his head.
"It's normal for the girl to be worried, but for this long-term sick person, it's better to ask a doctor as soon as possible, if the girl believes in it, you can consider the advice below, and it is important to save your life. ”
The woman pondered for a moment, and finally as if she had made up her mind, she pursed her lips and nodded with difficulty.
Then he said, "But I need to settle my mother first. ”
The wide-faced man was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said, "San'er, hurry up and take this girl to Yaxing, uh, haven't you asked the girl's name yet?"
"The slave's surname is Wen, and the single name is a lotus character. ”
"Okay, well, hurry up with Miss Wen Lian, first take the eldest lady to the backyard of the dental store, and then ask a doctor, the treatment is important, the treatment is important. ”
I saw Wen Lian kneeling on the ground with a "poof", crying gratefully.
The two of them moved quickly, and in less than a cup of tea, they were properly handled, and they successfully signed a deed of sale with Wen Lian.
"Brother, didn't you say you wanted to rob it? Why did it change to a cheat again? Doesn't this cost money?" The second monk of the gray-clothed man was puzzled and asked.
"You are stupid, this is going to be sent to the Zhou Mansion, although it is easy to rob it, but at this juncture, if Lord Zhou knows, isn't it hitting the muzzle of the gun, it's better to be honest recently." The wide-faced man raised his hand and slapped him on the top of the head and said.
After they left, Wen Lian leaned on the chair in the room, took a sip of tea, grabbed the deed of sale with her thumb and index finger, shook her fingertips a few times at will, and made a disdainful "tsk" sound in her mouth, which was the little meow who wanted to enter the Zhou Mansion to take revenge.
And the person next to her, known as her mother, was a seriously ill old woman she had picked up from the street.
When the old woman heard that she could have enough to eat and heal her illness, she agreed without much effort, and from her performance just now, it could be seen that her acting skills were not bad.
There was still one last person left, and the broad-faced man and the man in gray were imagining that they were going back to the street to find out.
Unexpectedly, someone brought a pillow as soon as she fell asleep, and an old woman actually brought a goose-egg face, a delicate eleven or twelve-year-old woman to sell herself.
This is the right time to fill the vacancy.
This woman wore two pigtails, her body was very thin, and when she came in, her hands were folded in front of her, looking timid, but her beautiful face still made Xiao Meow can't help but look at it a few more times.
To say that on the first day that this little meow came up from the bottom of the cliff, he did not immediately start revenge, but first went to Old Man Zhu to get a few pairs of medicines, and according to the doctor's instructions, he ate all of them without pulling them, and only after his body was no longer in serious trouble, he specially picked one such day to come out to do things.
Of course, in addition to taking medicine, when she has nothing to do, she still dresses up as a beggar and explores around the Zhou Mansion.
Finally, last afternoon, she got some useful news, and this news was that the Jade Tooth Store was going to send the girl and the little girl to the Zhou Mansion today.
Because of Zhou Xi's affairs, the Zhou Mansion was exceptionally promoted to the first and auxiliary ministers by the emperor of the current dynasty, and he will go to the capital to resume his life in the near future.
Before, Zhou Tianci was only a prefect of Qingzhou, and there was a wife and two concubines in the house, and two young masters, so there were not many maids and servants at that time, and now he is about to become a first-class member, of course, he can't talk about the same day.
And Zhou Tianci is also a cautious and suspicious person, thinking that the Son of Heaven is mixed with fish and dragons, in order to prevent some people with other deep meanings from laying out in his own house, so he decided to be one step ahead, it is better to find a good person in this Qingzhou City, and prepare in advance, so as not to let others take advantage of the loophole.
Just when Xiao Meow wanted to find an opportunity last night and sneaked in, someone took a step ahead of her and disposed of a little girl.
Last night, the night was dark and starry, but Xiao Meow saw it clearly, and that person was the old woman who came in with this girl.
Little Meow's ears and eyes have been different from others since she was a child, and she hid in the dark, so she was not discovered by the old woman last night.
And after the old woman had gone for a while, she followed her example, knocked one of the little girls unconscious, and took her out of the city overnight.
Today, like the little girl who was replaced, she entered the Jade Tooth Store one after the other.
After a short rest, Sister Hua and the wide-faced, gray-clothed man in the tooth shop took them to the Zhou Mansion.
The second aunt of the Zhou Mansion, the Red Double Pavilion.
On the main seat of the main hall, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman with beautiful appearance and fair skin, looking at the back of the man in the distance with loving eyes, couldn't take her eyes off for a long time, it was Zhou Tianci's second aunt, Tang Xiaowan.
Beside her, a grandmother who looked a little old, who was called Mama Xu, smiled slightly and said: "The eldest young master is not only Wen Taowu and strategic, not inferior to others, but also looks good, and the most precious thing is a filial child. ”
"Yes, Chen'er is the top filial piety, but what's the use of being filial, it wasn't Zhou Xi who was chosen by the immortals, my Chen'er, no matter how good he is, is just the eldest son. ”
When Mama Xu heard her say this, her face tightened, and she hurriedly walked to the window in a few steps, looked out a few times, and found that there was no one around, so she gently closed the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
whispered comfort: "Auntie is confused, isn't it, the second young master is already a sure thing to become an immortal, even if the master is angry in front of him, he doesn't dare to take a breath, aunt listens to my advice, in the future, such words must rot in the bottom of my heart, even if I think about it in my heart, I can't say it again." ”
The glamorous woman smiled bitterly and said: "What you said, I don't know, at the moment, fortunately, there is still Chen'er by my side, and I have always been friendly with my wife, and I have never trespassed, unlike the one in the Qingyuan Pavilion, there are two moths in three days, and everyone who is stirred up is not at peace, you can rest assured, from now on, I will be cautious, and I will look forward to my wife." ”
"Auntie is right to think so. Mama Xu sighed slightly, very relieved in her heart.
"I've arranged your business, but it's done?" asked the beautiful woman, as if relieved.
"Auntie, rest assured, everything is ready. ”
"Okay, you do things, I'm relieved. ”
Sister Hua led everyone into the Zhou Mansion through the side gate, first through a semicircular arch, then through a carved wall corridor, a rockery pavilion, and finally stopped at the corner gate of the Linfeng Pavilion where Mrs. Zhou's Wang lived.
Since following the old man, Xiao Meow, the mansion of a dignitary and nobleman, has never seen it, but she is now pretending to be a child of a poor family, so she also learns from others, like a native old hat entering the city, deliberately making a look that everything is fresh and everything is hot.
After a while, a well-dressed maid with an elegant gait but a reluctant face was late.
Sister Hua immediately greeted her with a smile when she saw the visitor: "Miss Chun'er, how dare you bother to come here in person, just send a little girl over." ”
"It turns out that Sister Hua personally brought someone here, come in. ”
The eyes called Chun'er were above the top, and she glanced at Sister Hua with disdain, and ignored her.
"Yes, yes, yes, this will bring people over, don't hide it from Miss Chun'er, this batch is all good goods from our jade tooth shop, in front of Mrs. in a while, please help with a few kind words." As he spoke, he took the opportunity to stuff a purse into Chun'er's palm.
Chun'er didn't refuse, she put her hand into her sleeve, and her voice when she spoke again was obviously a lot softer.
"Let's go, don't let Madame wait. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, all keep up, all keep up. ”
Sister Hua led everyone into Linfeng Pavilion step by step.
Linfeng Pavilion, main hall
"Mother, how is it, the master said, eating this pill can prolong life and live a hundred years, how do you feel?" Zhou Xi sat aside and asked with concern.
"Immortal things, naturally good, I just finished taking that magic medicine yesterday, and I feel refreshed this morning, and my whole body is full of energy. Wang said and did not forget to move his arm.
"That's good, with this pill, my mother's body can be repaired to the maximum, and when my son goes to Luohua Sect, my mother can also regenerate younger brothers and sisters, so that they can be filial to you for their son. ”
"You child, your mother is so old, you can't give birth to anything, and you're not afraid of other people's jokes. Wang was a little sad and a little embarrassed, remembering the performance of the old man last night, a trace of blush rose on the face of the thirty-year-old.
Zhou Xi couldn't guess when he saw this, but in the bottom of his heart, a trace of coldness rose.
