Chapter 618 Thin Like a Skeleton

Wei Meng looked at Liu Sanniang: "Sister Liu, are you sleeping well? I don't snore, did I kick you? Probably not, I'm very disciplined, right?"

Wei Meng asked several questions in a row, Liu Sanniang smiled and answered, "Never snore or kick anyone."

Wei Meng smiled mischievously: "Hey, I'll just say it."

After sniffing, Wei Meng said, "Sister Liu, you smell so good, I don't think I'd want to get up after sleeping, no——I have to go to the latrine—"

After a night of inconvenience, Wei Meng felt uncomfortable, got out of bed quickly, and ran outside before she had time to say anything.

Liu Sanniang got up and washed, and Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu also came back.

"My lord, last night was calm and nothing happened."

Xia Qiluo sent all the beautiful women in the capital to the Princess Mansion, where they were heavily guarded, and she, Xia Qiluo, sat directly in charge.

Lin Shuran also went, and dozens of beautiful young women were worried all night, but nothing happened from dark to dawn.

However, several armies searched and failed to find the burnt person. The city gate was heavily guarded, and the people only knew to arrest someone.

Chu Yan came out of the kitchen with a gentle expression: "Eat first."

Chu Yan didn't care how heavily guarded they were outside. He only cared about one person. He only knew that she was not in good health and needed nourishment and rest.

But obviously there is no such time, what he can do is to make every meal extremely nutritious, so that she can eat it in her stomach and be nourished.

No bad news is good news, Liu Sanniang drank the soup and ate the meat, then rested in the yard and drew talismans.

Not long after, Su Yanyu also came. Seeing how fortunate Liu Sanniang was, he went up to help Liu Sanniang grind the cinnabar: "Master, it would be great if I could draw talismans too. Now those people in Beijing, a talisman is almost as fast as a piece of paper." It has been sold for a sky-high price, and those from a slightly better family are willing to pay a few hundred taels for a talisman."

Wei Meng blushed while listening: "My father said that he only gave Elder Sister Liu ten taels a month..."

Assisting in the investigation or something, listening now, I feel really guilty.

With just one talisman, Liu Sanniang is no worse than those people.

Wei dreamed of the talisman papers that Liu Sanniang entrusted someone to give, and suddenly felt that she was carrying a treasure. Liu Sanniang gave them several pieces, including the Tianlei talisman to keep them safe.

Wei dreamed that her father had never mentioned money, and she felt even more guilty. If her father knew that a talisman was so valuable, he would be even more embarrassed...

Su Yanyu was also ashamed, ten taels a month, his master's ability should be at least a hundred taels, okay? There are too many, and the innocent place of Xuanyi Mansion can't be taken out.

The corners of Liu Sanniang's mouth curled into a hook, and the hand that drew the talisman was as steady as a mountain, and the stroke was done in one stroke.

Su Yanyu touched his head: "I'll go out and see if there is any news."

The current capital is the most tense, and people from all the prefectures are running to inquire about the news.

It was a peaceful night, nothing happened.

The daughters in the Princess Mansion also left the Princess Mansion, boarded the carriage, and returned to their own homes.

The palace is also divided into two factions.

The queen distributed the talisman paper drawn by Xia Qiluo, if she received it, she could not take it from Concubine Xian.

There were even some talisman papers compared, and after finding that they were all the same, they sent them back to Concubine Xian.

The talisman paper was returned, Concubine Xian was not annoyed, and sent it directly out of the palace for the third prince to give away, while Concubine Xian also sent people to send some precious medicinal materials to Liu Sanniang's yard.

During the day, the ladies are accompanied by maids at all times, and they never leave the latrines.

In the evening, he was sent directly to the Princess Mansion to stay with Xia Qiluo.

After searching the private houses, they began to search the official houses. A burnt and seriously ill person could not be hidden no matter what.

A group of soldiers knocked open a house, looked at an old woman with silver hair and said, "The government is searching for criminals. The old lady is not in good health. You should stand aside."

Mother Liu moved away slowly, with a gentle smile on her face: "Go ahead and search the old lady, there are no criminals here, please handle it with care, don't damage the old lady." A living by eating."

Hearing this, the leading soldier calmed down and told his subordinates: "Be careful, we are soldiers, not bandits."

Liu's mother followed her in. The house was not big. There were two yards at the entrance. Vegetables, melons and fruits were planted in the outer yard, and a lot of cloth and cotton were drying in the inner yard.

Inside, a man stood up with a low eyebrow and an unfinished puppet in his hand.

The soldiers picked it up and looked at them. They were puppets of little tigers and puppies, stuffed with silk cotton, they looked pretty.

Mother Liu explained with a smile: "Orphans and widows, there is nothing to sell. It is not easy to make a living in Beijing, so I can only make some small gadgets to make a living. If the official likes it, just take a few and give it to the children at home." gone."

The generals who searched also came back, and said to the leading generals: "No abnormality."

The soldier smiled and put the things down: "No, if you sell on the street some other day, if I meet you, I'll buy some from you."

At this time, taking other people's things is the same as banditry.

The soldier looked at the man: "Your son is a little thin and thin. If it is really difficult, he can be sent to the military camp. At least he will have enough food to eat. He will not be so thin after training in the military camp."

The soldier reached out and patted the man, then led his men away.

But his muttering voice still came over: "This is too thin, like a skeleton..."

With a gentle smile on her face, Mother Liu kept sending the soldiers and subordinates out.

When they got outside the door, the soldiers turned their heads back: "Grandma, you can really think about my proposal. Your son is not very old, and it is time for him to grow up. Don't starve to death."

Mother Liu nodded with a gentle smile: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness. I will consider it."

Mother Liu went back to the house slowly.

Outside, the soldiers asked their subordinates:

"Is there anything unusual just now?"

The subordinate shook his head: "Nothing unusual, just found some unburnt silk and cloth in the kitchen, probably because the puppets made by this old woman were not satisfied and damaged."

"People in Beijing are very picky, and don't want anything broken. Remember this place and visit it often, so that the two mother and son will not starve to death in it."

The soldiers ordered, and the subordinates answered yes, and continued to search for the next family.

Mother Liu returned to the house and saw that Liu Shun had taken off her clothes, her eyes were filled with pain and tears: "My son."

Liu Shun looked cold: "Mother, help me, there is too little cotton in it, it looks abnormal."

Liu's mother wiped her tears and walked over, picked up the silk cotton on the side, stuffed cotton into it from the skin peeled off from Liu Shun's belly, and then took a wooden stick to poke it in, she burst into tears with distress, it was much more It hurts, even if the son doesn't feel the pain now, but she, as a mother, loves her dearly.
