Chapter 196

No wonder the man in Cangzhou City was interested in her.

Jiang Wan looked at her and thought quietly.

Just watching the two sisters kowtow to themselves, she also decided not to show off.

"Don't knock, too. Let me finish." Jiang Wan held Gao Xiaoyue on the shoulder and said, "since you are good people, it's a pity that you didn't become slaves. But I also understand the old man's mind. He worries that if he doesn't sign a contract of sale, I won't help you. "

After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Gao, who was lying on the bed, shed tears with shame and said, "I can't help it!"

"So, I've got a way to make both ends meet. You don't have to sign the deed of sale, just write me a letter of refuge." Jiang Wan said, looking at Gao Xiaoyue with a smile.

Write a letter of refuge?

That tall old man's eye is bright, how oneself didn't think of before.

Signing the deed of sale is equivalent to selling yourself as a commodity. From then on, you can't enter the ancestral temple when you are alive, and you can't join the ancestor when you die. Marriage, life and death are all decided by the owner.

On the other hand, the writing of the documents of taking refuge is ostensibly commensurate with the master and servant, but it's still an independent person. The owners can't sell them. They can not only marry themselves, but also own private property. They just don't harm or abuse the owners. Even if they violate the law, they will be dealt with the same way as the common people.

But the two granddaughters, even if they are the benefactor, will not ignore them in the future.

"Good, this is good!" Gao Laohan lay there and said with a smile, and then told Gao Xiaoyue, "wait a minute, you will take your sister and follow your wife to write a letter of refuge! I'll be at ease when the matter between you two is settled! "

Said, his expression a loose, as if really put down the heart of a big stone.

But Jiang Wan was surprised. She had seen many old people die after they let go of their worries.

After she left Gao's sister's room, she quietly told Xia Yi, "go and tell doctor Cheng to come and have a look at old Gao. I don't think it's right."

Xia Yi looked at Gao's sisters, nodded and left quickly.

Jiang Wan takes Gao's sisters back to her room and asks Molly to set up the four treasures of her study. Gao Xiaoyue takes the pen in person, writes two letters of refuge and presses her fingerprints.

"I didn't expect you to read!" Looking at Gao Xiaoyue's beautiful handwriting, Jiang Wan said with a smile.

"My mother taught me when I was a child." Gao Xiaoyue said in a low voice, "later, my parents died one after another, and my grandfather had no way to take our sisters around for a living."

It's another family down!

Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, and told Gao Xiaoyue not to worry, but to take care of her grandfather first.

Naturally, Gao Xiaoyue was grateful again.

When Cheng Zixiu got Jiang Wan's letter, he immediately went to see Gao Laohan and found that he was not good.

Cheng Zixiu had been pricking needles and infusing medicine for a long time, and then he came out with sweat.

"Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the great Luo immortal would not have been able to save him." Afterwards, Cheng Zixiu boasted with Xiao Ruixuan, but also expressed his doubts, "but how did she know that the old man was not good?" Xiao Ruixuan smiles and says, "it's probably what she often says about intuition."

The boat they took continued to move smoothly along the river. Under the careful care of Cheng Zixiu, Gao's old man gradually got better. Gao's sisters were very happy. Every time their ship goes to a big town, Xiao Ruixuan will take Jiang Wan off the ship to have a look, and Dingxiang also uses it to "touch" the earth's atmosphere to relieve her seasickness symptoms.

This time, they went to Liaocheng.

Instead of just going ashore for a walk, this time Xiao Ruixuan asked Jiang Wan to pack up a cage of commonly used objects and ordered people to carry them off the ship.

"What? Aren't we going to Suzhou and Hangzhou? How can I move things under the boat when I get to Liaocheng? " Jiang Wan was puzzled.

"That's why we have to stay in Liaocheng for a few more days, so there's no need to live on the boat. We'd better get off the boat and find a place to live well for two days. We can also take the opportunity to appreciate the local conditions and customs of Liaocheng." Xiao Ruixuan shakes a folding fan like a graceful young man. When he leaves the capital, he doesn't have to pretend to be ill any more, and his whole life becomes more and more wanton.

Liaocheng has been built for more than a thousand years. It can be traced back to the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. It is a real ancient city.

Surrounded by Dongchang Lake, the whole ancient city is like floating on the lake, reflected in the blue waves, showing a special simplicity and elegance.

Before entering the city, Jiang Wan was already intoxicated with the beautiful scenery of "there is water in the city, there is a city in the water, and the city and the lake are integrated into one.

She originally thought that what Xiao Ruixuan said about "finding a place" was just to find a shop. But she didn't think that he found an independent courtyard with four entrances, and it was very close to the busy main street. As soon as he got out of the alley, he went to the main street.

They specially left the first and second courtyard to Cheng Zixiu and the escorts who got off the ship with them. They took their personal servant girls to live in the third courtyard, and left the fourth courtyard to the old ladies who were responsible for cooking and daily sweeping. But Gao's sisters stayed on the boat because Gao could not move freely.

When all of them settled down, Xiao Ruixuan took Jiang Wan to the street. They first went to Wanshou Guan, then went to the Seven Sages temple. After turning around the temple of Guandi, they tasted the oil spilled chicken, Sha town clack and eight batches of fruit before Town God's Temple. After watching the ninety percent off string opera, they finally turned back to their four small courtyard.

But when they were sitting in the carriage, they saw a naked man kneeling in front of the gate of their small courtyard with a big thorn on his back.

Jiang Wan pulled Xiao Ruixuan's sleeve and pointed at the door

Humanity: "is this going to play the trick of pleading guilty?"

Xiao Ruixuan glanced at it and said to the driver calmly, "let's enter the house through the side door."

The coachman nodded, pulled the reins in his hand, and the carriage turned a corner at the entrance of the lane and entered the yard through the side door.

Seeing Xiao Ruixuan and Jiang Wan coming back, uncle Qi, who was so anxious to pace back and forth in the yard, rushed over.

Since they got on the boat, uncle Qi was responsible for all the food and clothing along the way, and Jiang Wan was already familiar with him.

Uncle Qi arched his hand to them and said to Xiao Ruixuan, "Cao Qinggui in the water transport asked to see you. He also brought someone who had offended you in Cangzhou, saying that he came to the door specially to plead guilty."

"What's the burden, what's the crime?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruixuan said with a sneer, "he can't manage his people well. When he meets me, he will ask someone to come and plead guilty. What if he meets someone else? Is it as if they were shouting that night to splash blood on the Grand Canal? "
