The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 76

Zhong Ping stopped her, "No, you have to wash up first. You've been busy all day, and you're bound to sweat. If you get your milk dirty, don't spoil Nian'er's stomach."

Zhaodi blushed, "I usually breastfeed Xiaonuan, why didn't you let me wash it?"

"Xiaonuan is getting older, so it's not so easy to get sick." Zhongping replied.

"I hate it! You still think I'm dirty, I'm sure you don't mind it." Zhao Di said so, and went to wash it.Although it is already Dongyue, she is really busy today, and she is sweating a little.

After she washed her body, she came to nurse Nian'er again.Nian'er seemed to like the taste of milk very much, she enjoyed sucking it for a while, and then fell asleep contentedly.

Looking at Nian'er in her arms, Zhao Di suddenly had the illusion that Nian'er was like her son, whom she loved so much.

Yingniang didn't fall asleep so quickly here, although she thought that nothing would happen to Birming, but she still couldn't help worrying.

When having breakfast the next day, Zhaodi brought a bowl of jujube porridge to Yingniang, "Sister-in-law, Nian'er slept well last night, and woke up once in the night."

Zhongping brought Nian'er over, put it beside Yingniang, and said, "Sister-in-law, last time you told me to go to Wuzhou in the next few days. I see that there is no strong wind today, so it is a good day to start. No... I'll pack up now and go later?"

Ying Niang was thinking about something while eating jujube porridge, "Let Ji Wang go with you, you two brothers can take care of each other together. Zhao Di, you go and pack a jar of pickles, some radish sticks and beans. Yes, put another jar of spicy cabbage, Aunt Yao loves these very much, let Zhongping take it to her."

After Zhaodi heard this, she went out of the house and went busy.

Yingniang thought for a moment, and then said: "Zhongping, you should tell Aunt Yao about Yun'er carefully, so that she can rest assured, but you are too worried. Although Yun'er can't enjoy the blessings in our house, she still works day and night. life, but she is living comfortably, and she often smiles recently."

Zhongping nodded, "Well, I know, I will talk to Aunt Yao properly."

Ying Niang put down the porridge bowl, "Get a pen and paper, I'll draw a picture for you."

"What kind of picture are you drawing?" Zhongping was puzzled.

"You have never been to Wuzhou, how do you know where the shop is, and how do you know where Li's mansion is. Besides, from our Yongzhen to Wuzhou, there are many forks in the middle, and it is easy to go wrong. I am because I have been in Zhen's house before. I remember the way. Even so, when I went with your elder brother that time, I almost went astray."

Zhongping suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it, and hurried to get a pen and paper.

Yingniang knows that Zhongping can't read a few words, so when she draws pictures, she draws them in such a way that they are easy to understand.Then she explained it to Zhong Ping in detail, and Zhong Ping nodded, saying that he understood.

Zhongping and Jiwang moved things to the ox cart together, including several large packages of thread clothes, a package of flowers, and a jar and a jar.Yingniang also told Ji Wang to put more hay on the cart, otherwise his butt would hurt.

Zhao Di watched Zhong Ping and Ji Wang set off, and she kept telling Zhong Ping to carefully follow the picture drawn by his sister-in-law, and never make a mistake.Ji Wang was very excited along the way, this was his first time traveling far.

Seeing that Zhaodi seemed very worried, Yingniang comforted her and said, "The two brothers are considered adults, so it's good to go out to see more. Bo Ming doesn't know when he will be able to return home. The matter of going to Wuzhou can't just be abandoned like this. Don't you also hope that Zhongping will have a future?"

Zhaodi smiled shyly, "That's right, how can you be successful if you don't go out? Although Zhongping is not as good as big brother, but his brain is not dull, he should be able to go smoothly."

Another day will be the child's three-day bath. Zhaodi boils the water and finds the mugwort leaves that have been sun-dried earlier. Yun'er is washing in the small wooden bathtub.At this time, they saw Li Xinghua coming with roots.

Li Xinghua and Genzi came into the house to see Yingniang and the child. Since Genzi learned how to grow soybeans, the Lin family has also earned some money.Although not as much as the Xue's family, they still earned two thousand Wen, which was considered a large sum for the Lin family.

Therefore, this time Li Xinghua came here with some gifts, which were baby quilts and cotton caps made by her own hands. Although they were not worth a lot, they could be regarded as a gift from her heart. This was the first time she took the initiative to send something here From my daughter's house.

"Ms. Ying, Bo Ming is not at home. It is hard for you to take care of the child yourself. Let me tell you, Bo Ming is a good son-in-law, but he has never been very strong. I don't know how much hardship he will have to suffer this time... "

When Li Xinghua was speaking, she saw that Yingniang looked a little sad, so she quickly stopped talking, but don't let her daughter cry because of her few words, it is not good for the body to cry.

Zhaodi carried the prepared moxa water into the house, and Yun'er washed the bathtub and brought it in.It's winter now, so I can't wash it outside.

Li Xinghua picked up Nian'er, "My little grandson, grandma and little uncle came to wash you, are you happy?"

Genzi laughed beside him and said, "My little nephew really looks like my brother-in-law."

When Yingniang saw such a big family surrounded Nian'er for washing, she couldn't help smiling slightly as she sat on the kang, Nian'er was in pain from so many people, so she, the mother, just sat on the sidelines and watched.

After Nian'er was washed clean by them, she was carried to the heating kang.Yingniang tried to breastfeed him, because she felt that her chest was so swollen that she was about to give milk.

Sure enough, Nian'er sucked desperately. After sucking for a long time, milk finally came out.Seeing that Nian'er was eating so happily, Yingniang said with a smile: "Nian'er seems to have had milk, look at his intoxicated and skilled appearance."

Zhaodi laughed beside her and said nothing, she didn't tell Yingniang that she had nursed Nian'er for the past two days.

When Zhongping and Jiwang arrived in Wuzhou, they first went to the store to exchange the things they brought for money, and then bought some thread and silk materials.Because the two of them said they were Lin Yingniang's family, the shopkeeper didn't treat them as outsiders, and the price was the same as before, and everything went smoothly.

Afterwards, when they came to the Li Mansion again, Aunt Yao naturally entertained the two brothers warmly.

On this day, it happened that Li Changan came back from Yunzhou on business. He saw the Xue family brothers coming. Although he didn't say warm hospitality, he also had a face-to-face meeting with the two of them.

After talking about Yun'er, Li Chang'an inadvertently said, "A man named Qian in Yongzhen beat and killed two people, do you know? This incident has become a big deal, even the governor knows about it."

Zhong Ping lowered his head in shame when he heard this, "That's my third brother's brother-in-law. He has always been irritable. I didn't expect such a disaster to happen. He himself is quite pitiful, and he lost his life because of it."

Li Changan was stunned when he heard the sound, "Is it your third brother's brother-in-law? Then the two who were replaced and imprisoned should also be relatives of your family!"

Zhong Ping panicked when he heard this, and Ji Wang was so frightened that he didn't dare to sit down, so he stood up suddenly.

Zhongping asked nervously: "The one who was replaced... who is it?"

Aunt Yao also asked anxiously: "Xue Boming and his cousin who came back from our house have also gone to do corvée. Could it be the two of them?"

Li Chang'an paused for a moment, "If you say so, then it should be. I heard from the prefect of Yunzhou that it really seems to be... surnamed Xue."

Li Changan's words were like a bolt from the blue to Zhongping and Jiwang.They stood there blankly, unable to move for a long while.

After being stunned for a while, the two brothers' legs softened and they knelt down.

Zhongping cried with a trembling voice: "Brother Li, you have contacts with the prefect of Yunzhou. It seems that you have friendship. Can you...can you help my elder brother? My sister-in-law just gave birth to my elder brother. Son, if she knows about this, I'm afraid that she...she won't be able to bear it!"

Zhong Ping originally wanted to say how to thank him, but besides expressing thanks, how can he thank him?Thinking of the small amount of property in my family, it is not worth a porcelain vase in this house.He was afraid that Li Changan would be embarrassed by what he heard, so he was too embarrassed to speak up.

Kneeling aside, Ji Wang kowtowed to Li Chang'an, besides crying.

Li Chang'an originally didn't want to provoke this matter, but he didn't expect such a casual remark to be such a coincidence that he was from the Xue family.He saw the two brothers kneeling and bowing to him, and he sat there in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Aunt Yao burst into tears when she heard this, "Chang'an, if you can really help them, please do so. I know this matter will be very difficult, but Boming and the others did not get involved in beating people at all." It is against the law to replace you like this. As long as you go to the prefect of Yunzhou..."

Before Aunt Yao finished her sentence, Li Changan waved her sleeves, telling her to stop talking.

Seeing the begging of the two brothers, Li Changan also felt sympathetic, "You two get up first, I will consider this matter, but I dare not say that I will definitely be able to help you."

Zhongping and Jiwang kowtowed again in gratitude before getting up.

Aunt Yao sent someone to take the two brothers back to the inn, and then came to Li Changan's study.

She made a cup of tea for Li Changan and brought it over, "Chang'an, I know you don't like to be nosy, but this is really no meddling. Yingniang and Boming have been back to our house, and you have seen them too. But what about a young couple who love each other and love each other. They have suffered a lot, and now they are suffering from this disaster. If you can..."

Li Changan looked up at her, "I didn't say I wouldn't help, it's just that this matter is not as easy as you think. The Qian family can't even make up 1000 taels of silver. I heard that they only got a few dozen taels of silver by selling all their property. It doesn't make any difference at all."

Aunt Yao also knew that this matter seemed difficult to handle, but from what Li Changan said, it should be solved with money.Since it can be solved with money, it is not difficult.

She turned back to her room and brought out two delicate wooden boxes.One of the boxes contained white silver ingots, and the other contained precious jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, jade bracelets, and dozens of top-quality items.

Li Changan looked at her displeasedly, "They are not your close relatives, why are you so concerned? Aren't these things you cherish the most?"

Aunt Yao said calmly: "Although they are not close relatives, they are old friends. No matter how precious things are, they are just belongings outside the body. How can saving lives matter?"

Li Changan frowned, concentrated a little, and sighed coldly: "Take all these things back, first you won't need them."

He took out a Langhao brush from the pen container, and Aunt Yao hurried over to spread the paper and ink for him.
