Chapter 226

The weather is getting cold and the ground is covered with dead leaves.

Yuxi was tired of reading. When he came to the yard, a leaf fell down. Yuxi reached out his hand to catch the yellow leaves and said softly, "another year has passed." It's the end of October. In two months, the year will be over.

Feeling, I heard a cry outside. Yuxi lives not far from the farmers in Zhuangzi. It's also for safety. It's too remote. If there's something wrong, she can't find anyone. So occasionally she will hear the crying of the child. When Yuxi heard the cry for the first time, he asked specially. He knew that it was the child who was mischievous and beaten by his parents. At that time, he thought it was very fresh. Later, he became accustomed to hearing it more. But the cry that he would hear was not the same as before. The cry was very sad, and he called for his brother all the time. Yuxi was very uncomfortable.

Yuxi called Hanji and said, "go to see what happened outside?"

Before long, zisu came back. Her eyes were red and her face was ugly. Just look and see.

"What's the matter with that child?" Yuxi asked I cried so bitterly and cried for my brother all the time. It's not right to listen.

It's not complicated. The child's father and stepmother want to give her to others as a child's daughter-in-law. She was scared and frightened, so she cried out for help, hoping her brother could come to her. Zisu said: "girl, that child is so pitiful. Otherwise, let's help her! " It's the first time zisu has seen such a poor child. Seeing that Yuxi was not moved, zisu said, "girl, you didn't see that. That child is really poor."

Yuxi nodded and said, "bring her in."

Soon, the purple perilla brought people in. Looking at the little girl kneeling on the ground, the expression on Yuxi's face also changed. The little girl was dressed in the same clothes as the beggar. Her face was sallow. She had no flesh on her whole body. She was only a bone.

Yu Xi looked at Chen Guan Shi's daughter-in-law who came in with the little girl and asked, "do you think her parents want to give her to someone else as a child's daughter-in-law?" Who will want this look? I'm worried about my life.

Chen's daughter-in-law listened to Yuxi's words and explained: "girls don't look at her thin, and she's not very old, but she can do laundry, cooking, raising pigs, raising chickens and other household jobs."

Yuxi looks at such a small child, who has to do laundry and cooking to do a lot of housework. It can be seen how hard he is treated at home. Yuxi was silent for a moment and asked, "it's for nothing? Or do you want to collect money? "

Chen Guanshi's family inquired about the matter before they came, and said: "her father asked for a hundred jin of food from other families. This year, the market is good, and some people can take out 100 Jin of grain. Brought home, not only can help work, but also save a gift money. "

Yuxi understood, not so much to send, but to sell. It's just that the child is too poor to have teeth, so he sold it to others as a child's daughter-in-law. Can a child's daughter-in-law be so good? Yuxi had seen a child bride in Chuang-tzu before, which was not a pity. Sleep later than a dog, get up earlier than a chicken, work hard from morning to night, not only can't eat enough and wear warm, but also be beaten and scolded by the family every day.

Hanji came in and said, "girl, this little girl's brother is here, right outside. Girl, look

Yuxi returned to his mind and said with a blank face, "let him in!"

Hanji also came in with a child. Yuxi looked up and saw that the child was about six or seven years old, as skinny as the little girl kneeling on the ground. Besides, it's October day. I only wear a patched dress and barefoot.

When the little girl saw the visitor, she changed her silence and crawled over and cried, "brother, you are finally here. I almost can't see you."

The boy held his sister and said, "thank you for saving my sister."

Yuxi nodded in his heart and spoke clearly. Seeing them, he did not panic, but he was right: "I can save for a while, but I can't save for a lifetime."

The boy bit his teeth, knelt on the ground with his sister in his arms, lowered his head and said, "please buy our brother and sister and give us a way." Since the poisonous woman has made up her mind to send away the chrysanthemum, this time it will not be sent away next time. Next time, maybe not so lucky.

Yuxi smiled and asked, "it's OK for me to buy you, but what can you do for me?"

The boy whispered, "I have been in school for a year, and I can read a few words." That's the only thing he can do.

The little girl put her arms around the young man's neck and said to Yuxi, "master, please buy me and my brother! I can do laundry, cook and feed pigs and chickens. My brother can go to the mountains to pick up mushrooms, wild chickens, rabbits and other prey. My host, we can do anything and don't eat much. Please buy our brother and sister! " If the owners buy their brothers and sisters, they won't have to be separated.

Yuxi looked at the little girl. She was timid, and her right hand tightly grasped the young man's clothes. Yuxi asked, "I just sent you away. Why don't you agree?

The little girl just grabbed the boy and said, "if you are sent away, you will never see your brother again." No matter how hard it is, she is not afraid of her brother.

Yuxi looks at the two brothers and sisters who depend on each other for their lives. He has some envy in his heart. No matter how hard the life is, there is also a person who can care about and depend on. But she has been fighting alone. Yuxi steadied his spirit and said, "have you thought about it? You have to be clear that once you sign the deed of sale, there is no room for repentance. " By signing the deed of betrayal, he became a servant from a good man.

Han Ji wants to roll her eyes. Girl, this is superfluous. I don't know how many people in Chuang Tzu want to sell their daughter! It's just that he refused all of them. This kid was lucky. If you enter the government, you will not worry about food and clothing.

The boy nodded and said, "no regrets." It's better to be a servant than to die of starvation and separate brothers and sisters.

Yuxi nodded slightly and looked at Han Ji on one side and said, "go ahead and do it!" If you want to buy them, you have to find their parents to sign a deed of sale.

The boy said, "my host, let me go with you."

Yuxi thought he was going to make an end, so he didn't refuse. He said to Hanji, "go to their brother and sister!" Don't forget that kind of father.

In less than half an hour, Hanji came back. Give the two body deeds to Yuxi and say, "girl, that kid is a talent."

"What's the matter?" Yu Xi asked

Han Ji said with a smile: "the girl didn't know. His stepmother knew that we were going to buy people. She dared to ask for thirty-two. That boy is also worth some silver. No one wants it for free. Before I could speak, the boy said that their brother and sister were only worth eight liang of silver. The look on his stepmother's face at that time, let alone how wonderful. In the end, I only paid eight Liang. " In fact, even if the kid didn't talk, he would pay ten Liang silver at most.

The girl is generous, but she can't be bullied by the people. Provoking him, he drove the family out of Chuang Tzu to see what life they would take. I don't know the height of the earth.

Thinking of himself, Yuxi felt a little heavy and said, "I remember buying a little guy in the capital about twelve Liang, buying a little maid about seven or eight Liang, and the two together should be worth twenty Liang. You will give the other twelve liang of silver to the child and leave it at his disposal. "

Han Ji opened his eyes wide and asked, "girl, you..." Seeing Yuxi looking at him expressionless, Hanji hurriedly said, "Cheng, I will give him the silver later."

Yuxi didn't explain the reason for this, but turned to the study. If this teenager is really talented, it will be a good help for her after a good training. The people in the mansion are not useless, but they are separated by one layer, and the chain will drop at the critical moment. For example, kufu, although she looks the same as before, Yuxi knows that kufu's mind is floating. Now the eldest aunt and elder brother still follow her, otherwise kufu will not stay.

In the evening, Han Ji came to Yuxi and said, "girl, I gave the other twelve Liang silver to that boy. The boy took the money and went back to the village and paid off his debts. " In fact, it's not right to pay the debt, it's to pay the kindness. Before, brother and sister had a hard time, and they didn't squat down after eating the last meal. People with good intentions in the village will help one or two, or the brothers and sisters will probably starve to death. Tian Yang, I'm going to repay these people's kindness now.

Yuxi was very appreciative of Tianyang's move and said, "it's very good to have clear-cut gratitude and resentment." Let alone the ability, it's the appetite of Yuxi.

Han Ji also thinks it's very good.

Yuxi thought of a question he forgot to ask yesterday: "Tian Yang can read, and his family situation should not be bad. We all see that this is a clever child. No matter how vicious his stepmother is, he is also the eldest son of the family. How can his father let it go? " It's true that a stepmother has a stepfather. But for the eldest son who can support the door, there are some differences.

Han Ji didn't know what Yuxi thought: "girl, Tian Yang's family is not bad, but his father married a widow with a good hand. The widow is beautiful. At the end of last year, she gave birth to a son, and she tied the man in her hand. Where is their brother and sister in the family. It depends on the help of the villagers, otherwise the brother and sister would have starved to death. "

"Yuxi whispered:" no mother's children, are grass Yuxi wondered why there were so many stepmothers!

Han Ji listened to this, lowered his head and stopped talking. Four girls are also born and died early. Their stepmother is not allowed. Their father also hates them. Otherwise, they will not be driven out of the mansion. The situation is similar to those of the two children. The only difference is that the girl has a big lady and a prince to look after her, and others dare not bully her.

Yuxi did not leave the two brothers and sisters around, but the next day they were sent back to the government to learn the rules. Whether it can be used or not depends on one or two.

Han Ji came in and said, "girl, that boy said he would kowtow to the girl before leaving." Girl, you have a good eye this time. This boy will be a talent if he is well adjusted.

The boy came in with his sister in his arms and kowtowed three heads to Yuxi. It's too pretentious to say thank you. After all, their brother and sister have sold themselves to their host family, and even their lives are their own. Kowtow these three heads is to express his gratitude. The reason why Tian Yang sold himself as a slave was that he knew that his master was a kind-hearted man. If you sell yourself, brother and sister have a way of life, and they don't need to be separated. The result is as he thinks.

Yu Xi didn't take this sentence, but asked, "Tian Yang, when you come to the government, learn the rules well. Others, wait to learn the rules. " Yuxi has to see what the teenagers are good at, and then focus on training. The people who are cultivated by themselves are better than those in the mansion.
