Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 341 This Trip (5K+)
This truth is not only understood by Qian San, but also by Xiu'er.

Before being sold by her father and brother to the hands of the old bustard, what she remembered most was when her father and brother lost a bet and searched for all kinds of valuable things at home and began to calculate how much they could sell for.

Although some things have passed for many years, they seem to be engraved in the bones, so that no matter how many years have passed, as long as people close their eyes, the situation at that time will appear in front of them again.

At that time, she was curled up in a corner alone and watched her father and brother scolding each other, "You should not choose the big one, you should choose the young one", "It's all your fault", and occasionally the father and brother would suddenly look back at her while talking, disgusted After looking at her from bottom to top, he shook his head, stepped forward to kick her, gave her two punches, and scolded her, "I'm not good at growing up, like a skinny monkey, and I can't sell it for a good price."

She was only ten years old at the time, and had never even been in Gusu City, but she also knew that her father and brother said that they couldn't sell her for a good price, so they wanted to sell her to a brothel.Which serious girl would want to go to that place?She was afraid and thankful: fortunately, she had an unattractive life, and the procuress of the brothel didn't want her like this, so she couldn't make much money.

Living her life tremblingly like this, she is sensible but still gets beaten.Until one night, her father and brother suddenly bought her a new dress from outside and brought her back with the sugar water that she had been thinking about for a long time.

Such a sudden "discovery of conscience" did not move her, but she was even more terrified. She was forced to change into new clothes, and her father and brother forced her to drink sugar water when she didn't want to eat it. When she opened her eyes again, what she saw was Flower bustard.

At that time, the procuress Hua just glanced at her lightly, as if she was not very interested, and arranged her with all the other girls.

"The old bustard is dead, and there is no way to prove many things." The chubby girl looked at her, took out a stack of various papers from her arms and said to her, "I only tell you what I know thing."

"The stack on the top is the IOUs and repayment dates of the debts your father and brother owed in the gambling house this year. They still gamble. The gambling is not big, but they can't quit. The repayment date is No. 20 of each month. Although every There are debts every month, but they can be paid off every month." The girl said.

Xiu'er bit her lip, her face was ugly: "I never helped my father and brother."

She is not a pure and kind person, and she can't be "kind" to her father and brother who treat her like this. From the time I can remember, there has never been a time when my father and brother treated me kindly.

The first time I remembered to bring myself sugar water, it was to sell her to a brothel.What's more, after she followed Dali into the Yang family's back house, she had nothing to do with the outside world, and it was even more impossible for her to give money to her father and brother under Dali's nose.

Flipping through the IOU in her hand, Xiu'er's expression turned ugly.

The girl paused, and then said: "The second last one is your net worth, which was left by Mrs. Hua. When Mother Chun saw this money, she felt that there was something wrong."

Xiu'er bit her lips: Nanny Hua and Mother Chun are all old people in the court of love and moon, so they naturally know things like money and money the most.

Turning over the last IOU, Xiu'er looked at the last one in her hand.

"The last one is a note from your father and brother to Ren Yazi, saying that there is a ten-year-old girl in the family who is good at labor. Ask Ren Yazi if she wants it and how much she can sell it for. Ren Yazi replied 20 taels."

I don't know how Nanny Hua obtained this note. Before, she wondered what she was doing with a few notes that had nothing to do with Dali, Yang Yan and others in her box until she gave them to Mother Chun. After reading it, I realized the usefulness here.

Jiang Shaoyan said: "Of course, I don't have direct evidence, and I have never caught your father and brother meeting Dali in person..."

"She won't show up in person." Xiu'er interrupted Jiang Shaoyan's words at this time, her face was astonishingly pale, "Of course you won't catch evidence that my father and brother met Dali in person, but I know all of this is She did it."

Why would the father and brother, who regard wealth as their life, give up 20 taels and choose [-] taels?Naturally, someone promised to give them more money!
The old bustard Hua kept a lot of intellectuals. After all, the brothel owners have done a lot of wicked things behind their backs. If there were no intellectuals, they would have been beaten with sacks.

So many intellectuals are naturally not afraid of one or two gamblers.Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to lower the silver income at will like this, a girl who was abducted by a kidnapper with unknown origin.

Before reaching Dali, when she stayed with the girls in the hands of the old bustard, she had seen with her own eyes that some of the girls' relatives came to pick things up and were picked up by the old bustard's people.

Her father and brother have been here many times, but they have never been bumped into by the Zhike under Hua Laobush. Is that a coincidence?Thinking about many things at this time really makes people have to think about it.

Is it also a coincidence that I was not bumped into by Zhike who patrols outside everyday, but was bumped into by Dali who seldom goes out once?
If Dali promised the money first, and his father and brother reluctantly gave up 20 taels and chose [-] taels, then everything would become more reasonable.

Xiu'er's face became paler against the backdrop of the pine forest.

She didn't know what would happen if she was sold to a rich family to be a maid. Maybe she would meet an unreasonable master, or she might meet a reasonable master, or she might be doing rough work in the outer courtyard of a rich family.But no matter what, she can see freedom and have a hope, until the day when she saves enough money, she will be free, instead of being imprisoned like a caged bird like now.

She has been brought by Dali these years to see many popular people in front of Dali who suddenly disappeared. Dali is a very cautious person, but any signs of trouble that may cause trouble will be pinched away in time. Her pair But her father and brother are still fine... Could it be that Dali took care of her specially?

Xiu'er smiled wryly: Who can afford this kind of care?

"She did it." She heard her voice ringing, and said to the girl in front of her, "I know she did it."

She has seen Dali's methods for so many years, and the method in front of her is really too familiar.

"It should be that she chose me from the very beginning." Xiu'er said, with a hint of coldness on her face, but her eyes were full of bewilderment and puzzlement, "But I don't know why she chose me?"

Right now she is chosen as a chess piece because she looks somewhat similar to Dali, but at that time she was only ten years old, and her appearance was even darker and thinner. place.

Naturally, Jiang Shaoyan had already noticed this, she frowned slightly, and asked Xiu'er: "You...look like your mother?"

It is impossible for Dali to predict in advance that Xiu'er will be somewhat similar to herself when she grows up, so she stretched out her hand to Xiu'er from the beginning.

She had seen the father and brother kidnapped by Qian San, they didn't look like Xiu'er.

Xiu'er was startled when she heard the words, but she still shook her head and said, "I don't know, my mother passed away very early, and I can't remember my mother's impression clearly."

Jiang Shaoyan closed her eyes and recalled the pair of gambling brothers she saw earlier, paused for a moment, and said, "Your elder brother doesn't really look like your father, but he looks like your mother?"

However, although brother Xiu'er does not have many similarities with his father, there are still some similarities. The lower half of his face and mouth somewhat resemble his father, but the upper half of his face does not look like his father.

Xiu'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "I've heard people say that my elder brother is like my mother."

Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyan just looked at Xiu'er again, and after a moment's pause, she said: "You are more than ten years younger than your elder brother. At that time, your father had already been addicted to gambling. You are addicted to gambling, but you are only over ten years old, with such a heavy burden in the family, with your father's character, I am afraid that he will not allow another child in the family."

Xiu'er couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "You're right. Since I was born, my father always beat and scolded me for losing money, and my mother was often beaten for protecting me. If my mother hadn't kept it from me, my father would never have wanted me."

Thinking of her mother being sick and protecting her, and giving birth to her without telling her father, Xiu'er's heart softened. In that family, her mother was the only comfort in her heart, but she had already passed away.

After hearing this, the girl just lowered her eyelids and let out a "hmm", but didn't say anything more, she just said, "It's not easy for your mother."

"Naturally." Xiu'er subconsciously nodded, and after a pause, she looked up at Jiang Shaoyan again, but her eyes were terrified, "If you came to me to deal with Dali, I...I can help you."

Originally, she stayed by Dali's side tremblingly every day, and she couldn't see tomorrow tonight, and was imprisoned by Dali's side with "kindness" and "means".

At this moment, he suddenly realized that what he thought was "gratitude" turned out to be a calculation from the very beginning.From the very beginning, she chose herself, and even the so-called "love" was a double reed sung with her father and brother.Xiu'er's eyes were full of coolness, and the anger towards Da Li that had been suppressed for many years reached its peak at this moment.

It's just that she was angry and wanted to deal with Dali... Xiu'er subconsciously trembled. This was the fear from her body's instinct. How could she deal with Dali?How can I deal with Dali?
The girl in front of her had no relationship or reason with her, and she suddenly came to her and told herself these things were of course not something to do when she was full, Xiu'er knew it well.

To be able to guess the hidden disease of the old lady just by the scent of the medicine in her hand, and to gain a moment of freedom for herself, it is definitely not an ordinary person who stands here and no one follows her to talk to her.

Maybe it wasn't her helping the girl, it was the girl helping her, or it could be said...their goals were the same.

It really wasn't some stupid person who would take the initiative to say this sentence, it was just that under Dali's long-term suppression, he had already instinctively feared her.

"You don't have to face Dali directly, it's a waste of life, you don't have to do it." The girl smiled, and suddenly smiled, "By the way, there is no need to inquire about my identity, my name is Jiang, Dongping Bo Jiangzhao is my father."

With such a conspicuous appearance at the moment, she can be found with a little inquiring, Jiang Shaoyan naturally did not intend to hide it.

Xiu'er bit her lip, her expression a little embarrassed: She did plan to inquire about the identity of the girl in front of her when she returned to the Yang family. After all, this girl knew both her identity and Dali's identity, but the elusive girl in front of her was Which she does not know.This is indeed a little unsettling.

"It's rare for you to go out. To make a long story short, I do have some things for you to do. If you don't, someone will teach you." The girl said, "Mother Chun."

Someone came in from outside the forest of Pine Tree Temple.

Mother Chun squinted and looked at Xiu'er in front of her: I said earlier that this girl would be a good seed if she was lucky enough, but now the person who the old bustard Hua didn't have time to train fell into her hands.

Mother Chun rubbed her hands, feeling a little excited: I have long wanted to compete with that surnamed Hua, and now I finally have this opportunity.

Although this Xiu'er's appearance and skills are far inferior to Dali's, but with the help of Miss Jiang Si, if she is not called Dali, she will go to the prison and her surname will not be Chun!
Miss Jiang Si was right, Dali was going to kill her anyway, so why didn't she make a fuss?It's good to resist!

……

……

After getting a stack of talismans drawn by Master Chen himself and a string of rosary beads, Mrs. Yang heaved a sigh of relief and stood up to thank Master Chen.

"Thank you, Master!"

Liao Chen nodded and got up to return the salute.

Xiu'er quickly walked over from the temple forest beside her, and supported Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang held the pile of talismans and a string of rosary beads, and glanced at her. She didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and said casually: "It's a coincidence that you came!"

At that time, she was the one who sent Xiu'er to wander in the monastery forest, and it was she who complained that Xiu'er's coming was not too fast or too slow.

Mrs. Yang, who single-handedly raised Yang Yan, was not an ordinary old lady who was easily fooled, but because of a headache and hidden illness, and there seemed to be some other relationship between Yang Yan and Dali, she was at a disadvantage for a while.

But no matter what, she is Yang Yan's mother, and this will never change.

Xiu'er heard the words and immediately explained: "Old madam, I... bumped into that mother Chun in the temple forest."

What spring mother?Mrs. Yang, who was halfway there, didn't expect her to say that, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Xiu'er said: "It's just my husband..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Yang coughed, glanced at the believers waiting in line not far away, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk when we get in the carriage."

At this time, Xiu'er can't be asked to say "madam" in public, after all, in the eyes of the people of Gusu City, she is the Second Madam Yang.

When Xiu'er heard the words, she immediately nodded obediently and said "yes" without continuing.

After getting into the carriage with Mrs. Yang, she put aside the talisman and rosary she had asked for from Master Chen, and then Mrs. Yang looked at Xiu'er, stared at her carefully and said, "Tell me, the one who was asked by that The vixen spent a lot of effort to lock it in, but was lucky enough to be released by His Majesty's amnesty, what did Mother Chun ask you for?"

Xiu'er then explained in a low voice: "Just now when I was wandering in the temple forest, Chun's mother suddenly jumped out, grabbed me and said that she knows who the real wife is, and asked me to find a way to introduce her to you, saying that the lady is not Good man, don't let everyone call her a liar, and ask me to bring her to the old lady, so she can tell the old lady about it..."

Hearing what Xiu'er said, Mrs. Yang sneered immediately: She came from a serious and scholarly family, and had a natural dislike for those who came out of brothels, no matter if they were flower girls or old bustards.

She doesn't like Dali or Chun's mother.However, comparing the two, Dali, who still stunned Yan'er, was more annoying to her.

This Chun's mother probably thinks that she is an old fool who was deceived by Dali, but she knows about Dali's identity.But... Mrs. Yang looked at Xiu'er vigilantly, and there was a gleam of light in her cloudy eyes: "Where are the people around you? Why did you let that mother Chun approach you?"

Although she thought that Xiu'er was an honest person, after all, she was just a pawn cultivated by Dali. It was strange that she could teach Xiu'er with her heart.But no matter what, Xiu'er is a member of Dali, she is not afraid of [-], just in case, she must be careful.

Mrs. Yang really doubted her!Xiu'er was relieved when she heard the words, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: the old lady's reaction was exactly as that Miss Jiang Si expected.

She originally thought that Dali could have predicted the old lady's reaction was already very strong, but now that she thought about it, Dali had stayed with the old lady in the back house for 20 years after all, compared to the one who had never had any dealings with the old lady. Miss Jiang Si is really amazing.

Even this was expected, Xiu'er felt a little more confident, and replied cautiously: "Xiu'er also felt strange, why no one was by my side, until I finally broke free from that mother Chun and arrived at Si Linkou, where the guards It just appeared..."

"Crack!" A jade bracelet shattered suddenly.

Seeing the old lady clapping the desk angrily, the jade bracelet on her hand was shattered, Xiu'er was startled, and was about to cry out, but the old lady gave her a glare, and bit her lip in time. The voice that was about to exclaim when it stopped.

Although he is honest, he is not dull, and he is quite witty!

Seeing Xiu'er's reaction, the old lady nodded in satisfaction, then she opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out of the window with a sneer. After she lowered the curtain of the carriage, the old lady sneered and said, "Of course there are no guards around you. A dazed bastard who doesn't know what his master's last name is is following me, my old lady!"

To be stared at by Dali's eyeliner even after going out, is she really that stupid as Xiu'er?
What did the vixen do as if she didn't know?On the surface, it sounds good, and you have a great kindness to Xiu'er, but you follow up with Xiu'er all day long, and you have been following Xiu'er for 20 years. What a fucking "sister"!
This kind of words can only coax Xiu'er, who is so stupid who doesn't understand anything, to think that she is as easy to control as Xiu'er?

"It's so presumptuous!" The old lady snorted coldly, and said, "The hands are really long, and you still want to use the old body as her puppet?"

The old lady would never say such words in front of her before, Xiu'er lowered her head and pretended to be obedient.

Miss Jiang Si is right, the old lady is really angry!

She was stared at by Dali like a puppet, and the old lady saw her. Even if she felt sympathy, she didn't involve herself in the end, so she wouldn't care too much.

But some things are different once they involve themselves.
