Allure of a Country Maiden

Mrs. Liu turned around and reminded in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mom, I can't sleep in bed. Did Xiaoer hear what the two people next door said? Mom was thinking about how to help those two poor children. . Do you think we could buy them out? Would they be willing?"

"Mom, go to sleep now, let's try it tomorrow." Xiao'er also whispered back. Walls have ears. This is really not a place for communication. There was an example just now.

The next day, before dawn, Shen Chengyao came to wake them up. Mrs. Liu and the others also got up. Mrs. Liu whispered what she heard last night to Shen Chengyao. After hearing this, Shen Chengyao agreed with Mrs. Liu's idea. The two children continued to stay in this home to avoid the first day of the new year. , you can’t escape fifteen, sooner or later you will be sold.

"Dad, go find their uncle, mother, go find the two children, tell them what happened yesterday, and then say that you want to buy them and see if they are willing. If they are willing, Just..." Xiaoer said.

Both parties must agree to the sale, otherwise there is no need to discuss anything.

Shen Chengyao found the male owner of the family and tactfully told what he heard last night, and then told his family's plans.

The man was really angry after hearing this. That stinky woman would always encourage her children to beat her nephew all day long while he was out working. She would always not give them food, but she would use all her strength to do the work. Do it! If you don’t fight for a day, you will have to go to the house to uncover the tiles!

If he hadn't come home suddenly one day, he wouldn't have known that they were bullying his two nephews like this, and his own children were being brought up by her mother.

Now he actually has the idea of ​​selling his nephew, which is simply unreasonable! The man wanted to settle a score with his mother-in-law.

"Brother, they may not admit it if you make a fuss without caring about it, and you can't watch them twelve hours a day. If you don't sell it this time, what about next time? I passed by this time to report on my duties in the imperial capital. Yes, when I arrive, you can go to the Imperial Capital to find me at Shengpinghou Mansion. My name is Shen Chengyao. If I am not in the Imperial Capital, I will be in my hometown..." Shen Chengyao stopped him and announced his family name.

"Sir, I know you mean well. You are right. I can't keep an eye on you all the time. Instead of being sold to an unknown family in the future, it is better to follow you. Then I told you the life story of the two children." The man listened. After saying this, he was busy saluting.

Shen Chengyao hurriedly stopped him. He hasn't returned to life yet, so how can he receive such a great gift?

It turns out that the father of the two children went to the imperial capital to take the martial arts examination and never came back, and the mother of the children also went to the imperial capital to look for a husband the year before last and never came back again. His mother-in-law thought they were all dead, so she tortured his nephews violently.

Even he thinks so, otherwise there would be no news for so many years. It must be more dangerous than bad!

After hearing this, Shen Chengyao said, "We just pity the two children, and we are not asking them to be sold into slavery and become long-term workers. We are going to the imperial capital anyway, so we will help inquire about their father's situation. "

A good person will do his best to send Buddha to the West.

Xiao'er often said, don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small. Those who love go out, love will return; those who love go out, love will come back! Help people and things worth helping, help good people and do good deeds, because we don't know who our future nobles will be.

If their family hadn't saved the lives of Master Shangguan and Master Di in the mountains, how could their family be as wealthy as they are today! Where does today’s good fortune come from! He believes that good people are rewarded!

After hearing this, the man thanked him again and again.

After the two discussed it, the man went to his mother-in-law and told his mother-in-law that he wanted to sell his two nephews to Shen Chengyao's family. At first, she disagreed, but when she heard that one person was worth ten taels, she immediately agreed. This was more money than she could sell by herself. For five taels, she kept praising the man for his ability, making him feel more and more that his decision was correct.

The two brothers and sisters heard about it and agreed. It was better than being a child bride or a eunuch! If he becomes a eunuch, then his father will not be the heir!

When Xiao Fuzi found out about this, he really felt that the people in Shen Chengyao's family were kind-hearted. If someone had bought him at a high price back then, he wouldn't have to be like this.

Later, he heard that his father had not returned home after going to the imperial capital to take the martial arts examination, so Xiao Fuzi asked his father's name.

"My father's name is Zhao Yong. Do you know my father?" The boy looked at Xiao Fuzi hopefully.

After hearing the name, Xiao Fuzi's eyes flashed quickly, but it still didn't escape Xiaoer's eyes, "I don't know him."

Then he said to Shen Chengyao: "Master Shen, please help take good care of these two children."

Xiao'er raised her eyebrows. There was a mystery in these words. Please help me take good care of him? Who are you helping? It seems that I have to ask Xiao Fuzi what is going on when I have time.

At this time, Shen Zhuang and his party also came over and heard that Shen Chengyao spent twenty taels to buy these two little bean curds! You can't carry it on your shoulders or lift it with your hands!

He immediately got angry: "Why are you buying two little brats like this who don't even have hair at all, and you still need ten taels of silver each? This is a robbery of money!"

The woman was not happy after hearing this. She was not a person who knew how to tolerate, so she immediately stabbed back: "What little brats, you are so rich, do you still lack a little money? My two nephews know how to do housework. , they have done all the housework in my house, and I think ten taels of silver is too little, if I had known there would be twenty taels for each person!"

"Really? That's just right. If my family doesn't buy it, please return the money to me!" Shen Zhuang stretched out his hand and asked the woman for the money.

"Oh, everything is sold, how can you go back on your word! I said why are you still staying at my house? Leave as soon as dawn. If you don't leave, you will have to collect copper coins. Thirty copper coins per person."

"Thirty coppers per person? You're the one who's going to rob! You shady shop!"

"three……"

"Third brother, please ask her to get the money back."

"two……"

Hearing her count to two, Shen Zhuang became anxious and ran out of the yard, "Just leave, you unreasonable village girl!"

Not to be outdone, the mother-in-law immediately spat back, "You stingy old woman!"

Everyone: "..."

This can also lead to quarrels, Xiaoer expressed his admiration.

This episode passed quickly. When they went to the next town, Mrs. Liu bought two pairs of clothes for them to change.

Xiaoer found an opportunity to ask Xiaofuzi what was going on.

Xiao Fuzi was hesitant at first, thinking about what was left and right, but later he was still entangled and had no choice but to say that Zhao Yong was a subordinate of Shangguan Xuanyi.

"Miss Xiao'er, please stop asking. I can't say more."

"I have no intention of asking again." Xiaoer said innocently.

Xiao Fuzi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"As long as I know he's not dead, let him come to my place to pick up the child from now on! Remember to bring food money, otherwise he won't be allowed in!" Xiaoer said ruthlessly.
