Chapter 126 Meeting Xiaolu Again
Ruan Yunsi sighed and said, "That's right, if the child is weak and lingering on the sick bed, it's fine to go now, the family is always prepared, but who knows that it is such a sudden death, and it is very likely that he was killed , wouldn’t it make people die of pain? I’m afraid Mr. Su’s heart aches like a knife every time he thinks of the moment when the child was killed, right?”

They were sighing here, but when they saw Huangying Loulan and others walking in, Ruan Yunsi sat up and said, "It's time to get off work, you go back. Yes, I made a lot of cold cakes today, and you take them back too. Give it to the children of the clan to taste." After finishing speaking, he got off the kang, picked up dozens of cold cakes, wrapped them in large paper, and handed them to Huang Ying.

Huangying and Loulan waited for thanks, and went out of the yard to go home.Here Ruan Yunsi looked at the few cold cakes left in the pot, picked them up and chewed them slowly, and sighed: "Little Green used to like to eat this dessert, I don't know where he is now? Just look at Mr. Su's appearance." You know, father's love for the child is actually no less than that of mother, alas! He has probably returned to his father now, and he will always cherish it when he loses it, but I don't know if he will occasionally remember me when the father and son are reunited. This sister."

After sighing for a while, she put down the cold cake in her hand and went out, only to see that the sun had already disappeared behind the mountain, and it was still some time before it got dark. A gust of cool wind was blowing on her body, which made her very comfortable. : "Move the dining table outside today, let's eat outside. I feel a little stuffy in my heart. Eating outside is more open."

Zhong Xiu agreed, and started washing rice for cooking. After a while, smoke rose from the chimney above the house.

Susi had to be dyed as soon as possible to weave brocade. Zhong Nan worked very hard, and built several large pots and stoves in the backyard in no time. Moreover, these colorful dyes are easy to stain the stone corridor, so Zhong Nan, a young man who is not afraid of hardships and tiredness, volunteered to take on the task of building a pot stove in the backyard.

After everything was done, the last bit of colored silk given by shopkeeper Yan was used up. There was no way, the dye crops had to be bought back.Because there was nothing left and right, and she had her own carriage, Ruan Yunsi sat in the carriage, and the two siblings came to the Yan family's land together.

When they arrived at the place, they were crowded with people and it was very prosperous. Ruan Yunsi left everything to Zhong Nan, but went to Cangsu City by herself.

Cangsu City is only [-] or [-] miles away from the Yan family's dye farm. She took the Yan family's horse-drawn carriage and arrived in the city in the middle of the morning. Look at the fabric market in Cangsu City, is there room for development?If there is, I will gradually produce more brocades in the future, maybe I can ask Liujin Cloth Shop to open a branch here to expand the source of customers. After all, this place is very close to the dye farm. If possible, I might be able to get closer Build a small dyeing factory here.

Compared with Lushui City and Beijing City, Cangsu City is a small city, but although Sparrow is small and well-equipped, because there is a canal wharf ten miles to the south, this place is still very prosperous.

Ruan Yunsi was strolling casually on the street. It was summer, and many women were wearing thin summer shirts. The atmosphere here was obviously more open than in Lushui City and Beijing City. She saw several women with their sleeves rolled up above the elbows , showing Bai Shengsheng's arm, in Lushui City and the capital, it is rare to see such a bold woman.

In times of peace and prosperity, people on the streets wore colorful clothes. Ruan Yunsi walked for a long time, but she didn't see a single person wearing patched clothes. She was secretly happy, thinking that people here looked very easy to wear, hey!It seems that I really want to suggest to the fifth son that we should open a cloth shop here.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the sign of Liujinbuzhuang beside the street in the blink of an eye.Ruan Yunsi stood there blankly for a long time before shaking her head with a wry smile, wondering if you should?Pooh!Su's family is a good player in the business field, can't you think of it?Look, look, look, the branch has already opened.It's so strange, from this point of view, Liujin cloth shop is also very powerful. There are cloth shops in Beijing, Lushui City, and Cangsu City. I don't know how many branches there are all over the country. Such a big cloth shop actually said before It does not rank among the top in the industry, which shows how well-developed the weaving and dyeing industry is in the Great Wu Kingdom. If it is in the Jiangnan area of ​​Gusu, it may be more prosperous than here.

Just as she was engrossed in her thoughts, she suddenly heard a scream from the opposite street. Although the voice changed its tone, Ruan Yunsi was very familiar with this kind of scream because she had heard it countless times before. Looking over, she heard a burst of shouting and cursing: "You little bastard, what's your name? If you call me again, your legs will be crippled, and you won't wince at all. Up to now, you only know how to kowtow. Why don’t you agree to desserts in your mouth? It’s fine if you don’t want to, people treat you like a dumb person, but now you’re screaming like hell, let’s see how I’m going to deal with you today if you’re paying less than a hundred pennies.”

Ruan Yunsi was startled when she heard it, and then felt cold again. She clenched her fists, forcibly suppressed the urge to turn her head, and walked a few steps forward slowly. Then she pretended to cross the street and glanced behind her.

I saw two children kneeling side by side on the street under the scorching sun, wearing tattered clothes. One of them, about six or seven years old, was hugging the four or five-year-old child, and the man behind him kicked his feet. on his back.

"You know how to protect him, is it your ancestor?"

The man was probably tired too, so he took two steps back cursing, and then sat down leaning against a big tree, which happened to be covered in the shade. He wiped the sweat from his brow, and while fanning the wind with his coat, he cursed the damned hot weather.

Ruan Yunsi turned around, she didn't know how she moved, it was still a cloudless day in the sky, but she seemed to be struck by lightning, all she felt was that her hands and feet were numb, and even her soul was gone It's okay.

"Sister, what's the matter with you?"

Suddenly hearing a crisp voice beside her, Ruan Yunsi turned her head and saw a green girl looking at her worriedly. Seeing her looking over, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I was shocked, I thought my sister had committed a crime." What old disease? That’s right, the weather is too hot, is my sister suffering from heat stroke? Come and rest under the shade of the tree, and I’ll go to the store to ask for saliva.”

Ruan Yunsi finally came back to her senses, only then did she realize that her hands were tightly gripping the clothes on her chest. She just felt a sharp pain in her heart and was terrified, so she lost her mind for a short while, if it wasn't for the kindness of this girl A reminder, I'm afraid I'm going to pass out.

At this time, he forced a smile and said: "It's okay, just let the sun get a little dizzy, and it's fine to stand under the shade of the tree." While talking, he and the girl came to the shade of the tree and asked in a low voice: " What happened to the two children on the opposite side? Who is the man behind them? Does my sister know? It looks like his son, but if it is really his son, how can he be so vicious? As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat its son Woolen cloth."

The girl glanced across the street angrily, and snorted coldly: "Sister, there are always some people in this world who are worse than beasts. They came to Cangsu City not long ago, and they heard that an uncle brought two nephews to visit relatives, but they went to Here, the money was stolen, so I had to let the two nephews beg in the street. Everyone usually gave them some money because they were pitiful, but their uncle was really not a thing, and he beat the two children frequently. Scolding, less money is even worse, everyone sympathizes with the two children, so they have to give more money to make the two children feel better."

Ruan Yunsi's heart sank, her hands couldn't help but clenched into fists, she took a few deep breaths, finally calmed down, and then she pretended to be careless and asked: "It may not be their uncle, right? Maybe it's an abducted child?" , there are no other children like this in Cangsu City?"

The girl smiled and said: "In this peaceful and prosperous world, how many families rely on their children to beg to survive? Even if they are sold to other mansions as slaves, it is better than being a beggar. I have heard that there are such After planting kidnappers to abduct the children, let them be beggars, raise them for a few years, clean up the children properly, and then sell them to rich families, but in our Cangsu County, this kind of activity is not seen. No matter how you say, it is only a few miles away from the capital. Hundreds of miles away, barely under the feet of the emperor, and our county magistrate is also a powerful character, how can there be such arrogance under our noses?"

Only then did Ruan Yunsi feel relieved, but in a flash, she already had a calculation in her heart.Then he smiled and said: "Just now, I really thank my sister for helping me. I feel much better now. My sister, hurry up and get busy, don't delay your business."

The girl covered her mouth with a smile and said, "What's the matter with me? I just went to the street to buy two feet of cloth. Since my sister is well, it's okay if I want to walk a few steps, but don't go shopping on the street. I have been sunburned again and again, but I may not meet you."

Ruan Yunsi quickly thanked her again, watching the enthusiastic girl run away, she glanced at the two children on the street over there, and saw that the four or five-year-old child seemed to sense her gaze, He also raised his head suddenly, and met her eyes for a moment.

Ruan Yunsi turned her head away in a hurry, and then hurried away. The child behind her opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head in a slumped manner. Tears fell on the ground like golden beans, and were evaporated by the scorching sun in a blink of an eye.

"Little green, don't cry, let him see you and beat you again."

The older child sighed, quietly took the little boy's hand and patted him, but when he heard the man behind him scolding again, he trembled in fright, and quickly put his hand away.

　Alright, from now on we will go to Xiaolu's return home in one go, oh, oh, everyone must be waiting impatiently, right?Hehehe, begging for a monthly pass with a shy face.
