Chapter 69 Qibao
There were seven little boys in total in front of them.The youngest is about the same age as Shangguanxi, and the oldest is about the same age as Heizi.Meng Yuxuan asked each of them to speak and introduce themselves.Two of the seven children can read but do not know kung fu, and four know boxing kung fu but cannot read.There is only one person who can both read and write.

Meng Yuxuan looked at the only child 'Qibao' who met all her requirements.He is seven years old this year. He is as tall as Heizi, and his appearance is quite ordinary. He has no sense of presence on the street.Usually his eyes are lowered, looking honest and honest.However, as long as you pair up with those eyes, you can see the shrewdness hidden in the eyes.

"It's him." Meng Yuxuan thought for a long time and finally made a decision.

Shangguanxi is a simple child.He was so well protected by his father, he was as heartless as a blank sheet of paper.But he has to grow up slowly, it is impossible to stay in her protective circle all the time.Where she could not see, who would guide him when he faced those dangers alone?A smart and restrained book boy comes in handy at this time.

"Thank you ma'am." Qi Bao knelt on the ground and kowtowed politely.

Sheng Yaren looked at Qibao with pity, and said to Meng Yuxuan, "Madam, please speak this way."

Meng Yuxuan followed him to the corner.

Sheng Yaren said in a low voice: "Qibao was originally the son of a rich family. My sister was murdered by the boss, and then their whole family was sold. Please be kind to this poor child, madam. This child is smart and sensible. Thinking of my relatives, but hiding in a corner and secretly wiping away tears. I usually greet others with a smile.”

"Don't worry, Sheng Ya. As long as he is a loyal servant, I will not treat him harshly. If he behaves well, I will help him find out about his family. If you have news about his family, you can also inform me. If it is within my ability Within the scope, it’s okay to let their family reunite. I’m the owner of Meng’s Bakery, so just go and find me there.” Meng Yuxuan said, “Now calculate the total amount of money, we’ll pay both.”

"Madam is reasonable. It is their good fortune to meet a boss like you." Sheng Yaren sighed, "That girl Lingying is not from me. She wants money to see a doctor for her mother. You can discuss the price. The girl, the woman, and Qibao are worth ten taels of silver."

Ten taels of silver!She bought someone else's life with ten taels of silver.I still remember that I was sold into the Li family for two taels of silver.Although now she has changed from being sold to someone who buys others, she still feels sad in her heart.However, she was powerless to change anything.The only thing she can do is to use her own strength to take care of those she can take care of.

For so many years, she has always wanted to know who she is, who are her parents?Why do memories of previous years disappear?When she had memories, it was when she was sold into the Li family.She asked the matchmaker, but it was a private tooth, and she said she had been resold several times.As for who she was before, she didn't know either.

Meng Yuxuan handed over the money and got a contract of selling herself from several people.She asked Sheng Yaren to take the three of them directly to her home, while she and Lingying went to pick up her mother.

Broken temple.

The broken Buddha statue looked at all living beings with compassion.There are no sacrifices, no incense, and no believers in front of him.There are only a few dozen remnants of refugees and beggars.Ragged clothes, ripped trousers, and ripped shoes stink.Those ragged clothes that I don't know where they came from are the things that beggars use to avoid the cold at night.And with so many people living together, eating and drinking in this room, needless to say the smell inside.

During the day, everyone went out to beg, just to fill their stomachs.Now there is only an elderly woman lying there coughing constantly, and the only voice in the empty room is her voice.

Lingying ran over, patted the woman on the back nervously, and said with a crying voice: "Mother, I'm back. I found a kind person who is willing to treat mother's illness."

The woman raised her head, her eyes were swollen, she tried her best to open them but she couldn't see Meng Yuxuan clearly.A foul smell emanated from her body, and she hadn't been cleaned for an unknown amount of time.She held Meng Yuxuan's hand tightly with a hand full of dirt, and said weakly: "My kind lady, please take this child in. Although she is a bit ugly, she is a good and obedient child. I am too old to live. How long has it been, don't waste your money to treat me, just ask you to take her in."

"Auntie, don't talk. You are very weak now." Meng Yuxuan looked around and found a broken bowl. "I'm going to find some water for my aunt."

There is a small river not far from the ruined temple.She cleaned out the broken bowl first, and then pretended to hold water in it.But the broken bowl didn't touch the river water at all, but directly released the space water from the space.This is done just in case.After all, no one knows if there are eyes in the dark.

Returning to the broken temple with space water, he handed the broken bowl to Lingying and said, "Give your mother some water. I found a herbal medicine on the way, and your mother will feel much better after drinking it."

"Thank you, madam." Lingying happily took the water, helped the woman to drink it, and watched her reaction expectantly.

The woman, Lingying's mother, Wang, did not cough so badly after drinking the water.

Wang said with a look of comfort, "Fat girl, Mom doesn't seem to be so uncomfortable anymore."

"Mom, I've already said that my wife knows medical skills, so my mother will be fine in the future." Lingying said happily: "Also, I will be called Lingying from now on, not Fat Girl."

"Lingying? Why did you change your name? This name was given by your father." Wang looked at Lingying suspiciously. "But it's okay, it's normal if you don't like it. The name is really bad. Your father is a rough man, how can he know how to choose a nice name?"

"Mother, this lady will be my master from now on." Lingying bit her lip and looked at Wang's reaction anxiously.

Wang was silent for a while.

Lingying looked at Meng Yuxuan with worry in her eyes.

Seeing Wang's silence, Meng Yuxuan wanted to explain something to Lingying.Before she could speak, Wang Shi spoke first.

"You're a good boy, it's your mother who dragged you down. Mother is getting old and won't live for a few more days, so why do you bother yourself for your mother?" Wang said crying.

"Auntie, although Lingying wanted to sell herself to treat your illness, I didn't agree. I hired Lingying to work for me for five years, and I still got paid every month. As for the salary, it depends on her." After five years, if she wants to leave my house, that’s fine. If she wants to get married during the five years, I won’t stop her.” Meng Yuxuan said to Wang: “Don’t worry. I won’t let her write about prostitution. Deed. However, I will let her write a contract of employment. Are you relieved?"

"In this way, she didn't sell herself as a slave?" Wang sat up excitedly, took Meng Yuxuan's hand and said, "Thank you Madam. Madam is so merciful, there must be good rewards."

"Don't talk about it, aunt. Now I will take you to my house. You will live there from now on. If you want to go out and live alone in the future, it is fine." Meng Yuxuan helped Wang Shi up.

Wang's emotions fluctuated greatly in a short period of time, and her originally sallow face became a little more rosy.All of a sudden, her mental state improved a lot.

Dongcheng, Meng's pastry shop.

When Meng Yuxuan brought Wang's mother and daughter back to the store, there were many people around the door.People pointed and pointed inside, and the scene was very chaotic.

"Impossible? I have personally seen the kitchen where Xierniang makes pastry, and it is clean. How could it be poisoned?" The neighbor woman said to the people next to her.

"Xi Erniang's business here is so good that it has affected some people's business. I'm afraid someone is acting as a demon." The owner of the blacksmith shop said, "Where did Xi Erniang go? Has she not come back yet? Do you know? Where did she go? We can't let the villain succeed. Xi Erniang's business has improved, and the business of our neighbors has also improved a lot?"

"That's right! My noodle shop has recently started to make money! I couldn't make as much in a year as before, and now I can make so much in a month."

Meng Yuxuan frowned and said, "What happened? What are you all doing at the door of my shop?"

"Xi'erniang, you are back." The blacksmith shop owner said, "Go in and have a look! Someone is making trouble here!"

"Who's making trouble?" The neighbors moved out of the way, and she walked in.

At the door of Meng's pastry shop, an old man was lying on the ground, rolling over while hugging his stomach.

"Ouch! It hurts me so much! I'm dying! This pastry is poisonous! Folks, the police officer arrested her. This is a black shop!"

Meng Yuxuan let go of Wang's arm and walked slowly towards the old man.She knelt down in front of the old man and lifted the hat on her head.

hiss!The onlookers looked at the woman who was as beautiful as a flower in shock.

Not far away, several aristocrats upstairs looked at her in amazement.

One of the noble sons said obsessively: "It's so beautiful! The skin is like creamy fat, and it's as gorgeous as peach blossoms. It's so beautiful! There are women in the world who are more beautiful than imperial concubines!"

"Look at her attire, she should be a woman. It's a pity that such a beautiful Jiaohua is already married." A noble young man pretending to be flirtatious next to her said.

"Pan Jinlian also has a husband, didn't she just get picked by Ximen Qing? Looking at this woman's clothes, her husband's family shouldn't be very rich. It's her luck that Uncle Guo can take a fancy to her."

Meng Yuxuan didn't know that her unintentional action had attracted the attention of several wolves.She just wanted to see the old man's face when she lifted the hat, but she regretted it when she lifted it.In fact, there are only a few people in the neighborhood who have seen her appearance, and now her fame may spread far and wide.

However, since it was opened, there is no need to cover it again.

She looked at the old man and said, "Who will tell me what's going on?"

Lin Cai and Zheng Xinzhi were overwhelmed by this sudden incident.Seeing Meng Yuxuan came back now, as if she had a backbone, she immediately explained the ins and outs of the whole thing to her.
