Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 4 Live with a smile (1)

Ever since it was confirmed that Shen Huai was poisoned and the poison was dangerous, the two attendants could not conceal their inner worries.

The carriage drove for a while in the dusk, and Xu Yuan asked in a low voice: "Sir, it's important to cure the poison. Do we need to notify the capital?"

Gao Jun opened a crack in the car curtain and got his head in to second his opinion: "Yes, Master, your life is at stake now, so don't be willful!"

Do today's servants dare to say that their master is willful?

Shen Huai glanced over coldly, and Gao Jun couldn't help but make the seam of the car curtain even narrower.

"Everything is business as usual. It's not like I can't move right away. If I let them know that I'm in Huai'an now, I'm afraid I'll be annoyed to death before I'm poisoned to death. If Liu Sandian can't be found all the time, do you still want to persuade me? Should I go to the capital and lie down and wait to die?"

"Sir!" The two attendants were worried at the moment. When they heard what he said, they ignored the rules and tried to dissuade him in unison.

Shen Huai knew full well that he had actually turned the matter over in his mind several times. At this moment, he finally sighed, leaned back against the carriage, caressed the wound on his waist and closed his eyes: "You two, What's the use of panicking when things come to a head? I can still hold on, so we two cheer up and find Liu Sandian as soon as possible. Before that, don't look so grim and let me be happy."

The two of them had no choice but to respond.

After a while, Gao Jun deliberately laughed outside the car: "Sir, that female thief is really mean-spirited. The five people's feet are bare, and their toes can touch the ice if they are straightened, but they don't dare to really exert their strength. I tried hard, for fear of stepping on the ice. I didn’t dare to struggle hard, for fear that the hemp rope would break and fall into the river, and my mouth would be stuffed with socks, so I wouldn’t be able to call for help.”

Xu Yuan said: "I think what's going on here may not be what they said. The five men went to kidnap a girl, and they obviously had bad intentions, but they didn't do anything to them. It seems that they were mostly meant to punish and warn them."

Gao Jun actually thought that was the case. After thinking about it, he asked, "Sir, how did you know that there was something happening under the bridge?"

No one answered him. Shen Huai was wrapped in a big cloak and leaning against the carriage, but he had already fallen asleep, and his tired look could no longer be concealed.

Xu Yuan quickly poked Gao Jun through the car curtain and asked quietly: "After you finished asking, how did you get those smelly socks in your mouth?"

Gao Jun got the hint and immediately lowered his voice: "Oh, I stuffed it back for them again."

...Xu Yuan thought silently in his heart, the bad thing is still you.

Gao Jun turned back to look at his expression and added: "Young Master said, just look and don't do anything else."

Xu Yuan snorted: "With your last strike, they will probably be able to calm down for a while, which can be regarded as helping the woman."

When midnight was deep, a watchman went to the Yamen to report that someone was calling for help under the Heman Bridge. He illuminated it with a lamp and saw that it seemed to be a multi-headed monster floating in the air.

When the officer on duty heard this, he wrapped his cotton clothes tightly and said that he must have been deceived and should stop talking nonsense. As a result, at dawn, a small businessman who had gotten up early to set up his stall also came to report the case, saying that someone was hanged under the Heman Bridge. On the ice, it looked like he was freezing to death.

The yamen officer quickly called his colleagues to rush over. Sure enough, he saw five people hanging under the bridge with their toes stretched out. There was a pool of yellow icicles between their toes and the river surface, which seemed to be urine. One of the people had vomited on the smelly socks in his mouth. It's been a long time since I came out, but I was so cold that I was shivering and speechless.

No one could stand on the ice, so the government officials tried to drag the five people up and dragged them to the government office on a trolley. Unexpectedly, after the five people regained their composure, they hesitated and said no.

What happened? I couldn't tell why they ran to Heman Bridge, nor who hung them up all night.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know there was something wrong with them at a glance, but if these little guys didn't cry out for injustice, the yamen would have no way of taking action. Finally, they notified the leader of the Chunxing Opera Troupe. After the leader came over and muttered to a few people, he picked them up with an extremely ugly face.

Gone.

Su Ya was on the New Year's Day holiday and rarely slept for a while. After getting up, she listened to Yan's explanation of this novel incident over breakfast and laughed so hard.

After laughing, she bit her bun and was surprised. Could it be that those people were scared out of their wits after being hung up all night? They didn't bite back in front of the government, and they really lived up to their reputation of selling people to brothels.

"They all said that these people must have done something immoral and were punished."

Mrs. Yan also found it funny. While laughing, she brought in a few pieces of cloth from the yard and spread them on the bed to prepare for cutting.

Su Ya was surprised: "Mom, where did our family come from so many pieces of cloth and cotton?"

"Old Uncle Zhou brought it to me early in the morning. He asked me to sew eight brocade quilts quickly. They will come and pick them up in the evening."

"So much? In such a hurry? Let me help you." Su Ya put away the bowls and chopsticks and hurried over to help.

However, Mrs. Yan chased her away, "You can't help. Old Uncle Zhou said that Zhou Dazhu hasn't come back from Zhuangzi to collect rent, and the dusting of Zhouzhai this year hasn't been finished yet. He asked you to go over and help after dinner. You go over and take a look. In the evening

Come back early, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we have to go to the New Year's Fair."

"Oh, I'll go then."

Su Ya came out of Xiuyi Alley, turned left and then left, and came to the spacious Wenchang Alley. The long stone paved road can accommodate two carriages driving side by side. Compared with Xiuyi Alley, it was very grand. Walking inside

Two mansions later, we arrived at Zhou Residence.

The housekeeper Lao Zhou was cleaning the two door knockers on the door. Su Ya came up to say hello, "Dad Zhou, are you very happy today?"

"Happy, happy! I'm so happy to have a master to control the house this year!"

Lao Zhou's eyebrows hung almost diagonally on his forehead, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, and every wrinkle was filled with joy. He pressed the rag in his hand and wiped hard, not to mention the copper door knocker, even the door.

He almost wiped out the swelling and made it shiny!

"Is there someone coming to Master Zhou's house?" It turns out that this is the origin of the eight brocade quilts that Lao Zhou sent to Yan early in the morning!

Su Ya was quite surprised. It was said this week that the owner of the house had moved to Hangzhou decades ago, leaving only three old servants to guard the house and collect the land rent. How could he suddenly return to his old house before New Year's Eve?

Lao Zhou didn't care about her doubts, and kept going, saying that the dust removal was not thorough enough this year, and that it should be more meticulous when the master came. Why didn't Zhou Dazhu come back when he went to the farm to collect rent? He was delayed on the way, and urged him again.

Ask Su Ya to get busy quickly.

When Su Ya entered the door, Lao Zhou was still shouting from behind, saying that he would go shopping later and asking her to ask Grandma Sun if she had anything to do.

Su Ya agreed, turned left and passed through the two moon doors to reach the kitchen. The fire was burning under the stove, but there was no one in the bright kitchen.

"Mother-in-law?"

Su Ya shouted softly, but no one responded. She saw that the fire stick under the stove was overheated and was about to fall off, so she walked over and straightened the fire stick inside, then turned around and looked into the small courtyard in the back kitchen. Unexpectedly, there was a strong wind.

Attacked, a hidden weapon went straight to the Fengchi point behind her head!
