The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 69

Mother Zhang stood aside, and when she heard Xu talking about this, she couldn't help but wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, madam, the master is concerned, and will definitely bless the girl to marry a good man in the future, and don't worry about it, madam." Too anxious, now that the girl is still young, we can slowly find her."

Xu stood up, twisted the clean handkerchief, and wiped off the dust on Mr. Xie's tombstone, as if this was her closest person.

"Although Jiaojiao is not too old, it's hard to find a son-in-law after all. I still want to find someone who is a bit capable. In the future, Jiaojiao will be dedicated to her husband and son. Is it possible for her to show her face like this after she gets married? of?"

Mrs. Xu sighed as she spoke. Recently, she also inquired privately about the families in several nearby villages and towns who wanted son-in-laws.But those personal choices, she lost interest as soon as she heard them. One of them had no parents since childhood, and was raised like a son-in-law since childhood; I studied for a few years before, but I didn't even pass the examination of a scholar. Later, I went to work as an accountant in the shop of my boss, and was recruited by my boss.The child had no father or mother at home, and no one cared about him anymore.

Another is because the family is poor, with several brothers, and the parents are almost unable to support them, so they think that there are many brothers anyway, and it doesn't matter if one of them is married into someone else's family.

No matter which one it is, they are all soft food. If such a son-in-law is recruited, that Jiaojiao will not be as tired as she is now.Besides, a man should have a bit of masculinity. If you eat too much soft food, you will inevitably lose your head and make people feel uncomfortable when you look at it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sighed again, but she didn't know that there were three or five thieves staring at her from the bushes not far away!
It turns out that the area around Yinlong Mountain is the junction of Jiangning and Moling. The resettlement of refugees in Jiangning County is quite stable. With the Xie family as an example, they are assigned to various villages and let them farm and work with the local tenants. I got used to it.

However, there were about a hundred refugees in Moling County. The government was unable to resettle them, so they hid in the mountains and forests. Did they come out to rob some villagers? When I got to the mountain, I disappeared.

Originally, it was only active in the southern part of Moling County, but recently it has slowly moved southward, and has vaguely reached the territory of Jiangning County.The people nearby were harassed, and some reported to the officials, but Mrs. Kang passed away in the past few days, and Mrs. Kang has not been in charge of politics for many days, so this matter has been delayed.

It turned out that this group of people went south and when they reached the border of Moling County, they thought of robbing a few landlords' houses in order to reward their brothers. The first family to suffer was the Jiang family.

Although Jiang's family has not been as good as before in the past two years, they still have some foundation, and their family's reputation in the local area is not good. When the villagers saw a group of people riding horses fighting against sticks going to their house to rob things, they were frightened for a long time. Dare to go out, everyone just hides at home to watch the fun.

The two elders of the Jiang family were so frightened that they hid under the table of the Eight Immortals and couldn't get out. They just kept begging for mercy and said: "Our Jiang family doesn't have any money. It is the richest family in this area."

The leading man had also inquired about the festival between Jiang and Xie's family before he came. He only smiled and said, "You pretend we don't know about the festival between your family and Xie's family? Now they still want to use us to rob Xie's family." , What you think is beautiful, we thieves also have a way, which ones are good landlords and which ones are evil landlords, we can clearly distinguish them."

When Mr. Jiang heard this, his legs trembled in fright and he said: "Everyone... small... small, that's not what it means... It's just that you see so many brothers following you, how dare you let them starve Frozen ones? As long as my Jiangjia village has them, I will definitely provide them, but I don’t have them here, but the Xie family has them. The Xie family is going to Nanshan Lake to watch the dragon boat race tomorrow. You just need to catch the big girl from the Xie family , let alone 1 taels of silver, even 10 taels, the Xie family can afford it."

The leading man heard this, and split open the Eight Immortals table fixed on the heads of Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang with a single knife. The two of them were so frightened that they were so frightened that they sat on the ground with weak legs, and saw the man carrying a big knife towards the door. After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Mr. Jiang, suddenly raised his sword, pointed at Mr. Jiang and said, "I don't need others to point out what I do."

The person hiding in the grass watched from a distance as Mrs. Xu rubbed and hugged Mr. Xie's tombstone, spat out a straw in his mouth, turned around and asked, "Second brother, are you really going to arrest this woman? Yesterday Didn’t the old man of the Jiang family say that? Miss Xie’s family should be arrested, she is said to be a beautiful woman!”

The man cast a sideways glance at the thin man who had just spoken, and said, "Boss Xiao said that Miss Xie is the head of the Xie family now. If Miss Xie is captured, her mother may not be able to know where the silver is. It is better to capture Mrs. Xie." , Miss Xie will definitely step up to raise money, and she will definitely move faster than her mother."

On the other side of the bushes, a shirtless rough man heard the words, but he couldn't understand: "Didn't our boss say that? There is a way for robbers, why are you still arresting Mrs. Xie?"

The second Gao just glared at the man, compared his fists, and lightly greeted the rough man's belly, and said with a smile: "From today onwards, you are only allowed to eat half a bowl of rice per meal, is it okay?"

Hearing this, the rough man immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said vigorously: "That won't work, who will be to blame if you starve to death?"

Mrs. Xu wiped the tombstone, packed up the sacrifices, and just stood up and said: "I have been out for a long time today, I will come to see you in a few days."

Mama Zhang stepped forward to support Xu Shi, picked up the food box and was about to leave, when she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and two strong men with black cloths on their faces had blocked them, Xu Shi was startled, and went away again and again. He took a few steps back, only to hear the tall man say: "Mrs. Xie, our boss would like to invite you to our house for a while. I don't know if Mrs. Xie is free."

Mrs. Xu was frightened for a moment, and didn't know how to answer. Over there, Zhang's mother just said, "Which family are you from? Our wife doesn't know you. Get out of the way quickly, or we will call someone."

"Mrs. Xie, don't worry. We have no malicious intentions. We just want to borrow some money from Xie's family. When Miss Xie borrows the money, we will let you go back." Gao Laoer said.

Only then did Xu realize that she must have met a robber.But this Jiangning County has always been safe, how could there be robbers on this Yinlong Mountain?

"If you want money, just go back with me to get it. Why come out to scare people like this. Usually, our Xie family often rescues some disaster victims and refugees. Don't you get any benefits?..."

Before Xu's words were finished, a thin masked man jumped out from the side and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you think we are beggars?"

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhang supported each other and stopped, only to hear the man say: "The coachman and the two maidservants are tied up, second child, tell me, who should you send to Xie's family?"

"I'll go myself!"

As soon as the words were finished, another person appeared from the grass not far away. It was Boss Xiao who led their group to Jiangjia Village yesterday.

"I heard that Miss Xie is extremely smart, and women don't give in to men. If you go, I'm afraid you won't be her match."

When everyone heard this, they only laughed and said: "Boss, you underestimate us too much. She is just a girl. What can I do? I can take care of her with one hand."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was so frightened that she couldn't stop trembling, she said, "Don't hurt Jiaojiao, we'll just give you the money." After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she suddenly pushed Mama Zhang away. Pulling out a silver hairpin from her hair, she put it on her neck and said, "You... let Mama Zhang go, or I will die in front of you right away, and you won't even get a penny." It seems weak, but when it comes to such a desperate situation, it also inspires a bit of firmness.

Seeing that the silver hairpin had pierced Xu's fair neck, Boss Xiao only said, "Okay, let's let her go."

Mother Zhang knelt on the ground and looked at Mrs. Xu, with tears in her bloodshot eyes, she stretched out her hand and said to Mrs. Xu: "Madam, let me stay, you go back..."

Xu's hairpin was still on his chin, blood came out from the wound, and he only said with tears in his eyes, "Go, they want to catch me, go back!"

Mama Zhang has been with Xu's master and servant for decades, how could she not know Xu's temperament, although she is weak in her bones, but now she is in a desperate situation, and she is just fighting for the last time, trying to escape first.Mother Zhang wiped her tears and looked at Mrs. Xu standing there. She stood up, took a few steps back slowly, turned around and ran away.

"Boss, let that old woman go like this?"

"She's worthless, so she just left." Boss Xiao turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Xu, and said coldly, "Mrs. Xie, please spend less effort, please."

Mrs. Xu felt her knees go limp, and she fell to sit on the ground. Not far away was Master Xie's tombstone. Mrs. Xu murmured in a low voice, "Master..." and then passed out.

Ms. Zhang was running like flying, but this Yinlong Mountain is too remote. Usually, if it is not the time of tomb sweeping, there are really few people here. Although this is the shortcut to Jinling, some people avoid it. Never go this way.

But it so happened that there was such a person, he never knew how to avoid these things, and that was Zhou Tianhao.

From Jinling City to Xie's house, it takes an hour to go fast. Zhou Tianhao has experienced in the military camp for a period of time. It is not a problem to get on the horse for two or three hours. It's just that Yun Song has never traveled like this, and now he is already behind The ghosts were crying and howling.

Zhou Tianhao reined in and turned the horse's head, glanced at Yun Song and said: "It seems that next time I go to the camp, I must take you with me, and let you know what it feels like to stay on the horse's back for a whole day."

"I really want to go, but General Feng said I don't have that, so I can't go..." Yun Song entered the palace as a young eunuch at the age of seven or eight, and has been serving Zhou Tianhao, but when Zhou Tianhao was going to the barracks, But was stopped.

"That's all, I don't know when Brother Huang will let me go to the battlefield again. I will definitely take it with me when the time comes." After Zhou Tianhao finished speaking, he threw off his whip and was about to gallop away, only listening Yun Song shouted behind him: "Master, there is someone ahead, let's run here again!"
