The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 540
Qing Shu laughed, "Just wait, my sister will send someone to say hello to Fifth Brother."

Qingyang asked with a happy face, "Sister, did you agree?"

Qing Shu blinked deliberately, "What do you think?"

Not long after, Qingshu covered her face with a veil, and took Qingyang, Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong to walk around the town casually.It's not a big town, so there's actually nothing to see.But for people who are bored in the carriage all day, it is not bad to be able to walk like this before dark, at least it can exercise their muscles and bones.

Qing Shu sighed.Once, they left Beijing in a hurry just to avoid disaster.Now, they are going back to the capital just for the wedding wine.To outsiders, this trip is simply eating wedding wine.But in fact, she has a lot to do.

Since the opening of Yilianxiang Steamed Bun Shop, she, the owner, has never shown her face.Fortunately, it was Bu Yuyan's second elder brother who helped run the shop, and someone else would have taken over her shop early.She has to take a look at her own shop, and she also wants to thank Brother Bu Er for his hard work in helping her run the shop.

Furthermore, Gu's mansion signed a lease for their mansion for two years.Now that the contract has expired, the Gu family intends to continue renting, and she agreed in the letter, but the new contract has not been signed, and the rent has not yet been collected.This matter, she had to do it by the way.

Of course, these things are not trivial and easy to do.All she has to worry about is Hao.Zhou Boyan said in the letter that his emperor's uncle wanted to see Hao.

Suddenly, Qing Hao said, "This place is not as good as our Kangxi Town."

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong listened and nodded in agreement.

Qing Shu came back to her senses, smiled, but didn't speak.Indeed, this place is not as good as Kangxi Town, because the whole town feels very bleak.Moreover, the clothes of the people walking on the street are mostly patched and patched, which shows that the overall living standard here is not as good as that of Kangxi Town.

Suddenly, a man squatting on the side of the road asked hesitantly, "Is it... Young Master Gu?" Immediately afterwards, he stood up abruptly, and shouted in disbelief, "It's really Young Master Gu."

Immediately, Yingwei fended off the man who was calling Young Master Gu.

Qing Shu, Qing Yang and the others stopped in their tracks, and turned to look at the man on the side of the road in surprise.

This is a square-faced man, about 23 or [-] years old.He was quite tall, but his face was yellow and thin, and it was unknown whether it was because of illness or lack of food.He was dressed in washed, faded coarse cloth with at least five patches.Even the shoes on his feet were patched.

Probably because he realized his recklessness, or for some other reason.The surprise in the eyes of the square-faced man faded away, he pleaded guilty, and backed away with a face full of defeat.He stopped beside a little girl kneeling on the side of the road, and picked her up.

This little girl was about five or six years old, and she was also sallow and thin.Her hair was a little withered and yellow, and the floral clothes she was wearing were also patched.At this moment, with a blade of grass stuck in her head, she was looking at them timidly with tears in her eyes.Those who saw it couldn't help feeling a little pity.

Qing Shu and the others took a few glances and prepared to leave.

At this time, the man choked up and shouted, "Sell the little girl to bury the mother, and sell it for two taels of silver. Please kind masters, madams, misses, and young masters, please do me a favor and buy the little girl!"

Qingyang, who was striding forward, stopped immediately, and looked back.

The little girl looked at the passers-by timidly, and said in a crying voice, "Sell yourself to grandma, to grandma," she sniffed, "be mourned." These words were obviously taught by adults.

Qingyang looked at the little girl, then at Qingshu who was expressionless, and then involuntarily touched the purse on his body.

Seeing his action, Luo Xiaorong and Qing Hao turned their faces to look at the little girl about to sell themselves a few more times.

At this moment, Steward Ding quietly said something to Xiaojuan who was accompanying him.Xiaojuan looked at the square-faced man in surprise, then stepped forward and whispered to Qingshu.

After hearing this, Qing Shu turned to look at Guan Shi Ding, "Did you admit your mistake?"

Steward Ding replied respectfully, "The little one didn't admit his mistake."

Qing Shu pondered for a moment, then ordered Guan Shi Ding, "Go over and see what's going on." Then he called Qing Yang, "Let's go!"

Qingyang's hand was still on the money bag.He hesitated for a moment, then asked Qingshu in a low voice, "Give me twenty copper coins, okay?"

Qing Shu shook her head, and walked away first.

Seeing Qingyang, he didn't ask any more questions, and followed with Luo Xiaorong and the others.

They walked unhurriedly.Not long after, Steward Ding caught up.Qing Shu motioned him to step forward.Manager Ding naturally didn't dare to be negligent, he stepped forward and followed Qing Shu respectfully.

"what happened?"

Qingshu asked the question, which attracted Qingyang and the others to look sideways.

Guanshi Ding said, "This person is indeed from Feng's village. His name is Feng Huzi, and he is a good brother of Shanzi. He said that there was a flood in this place this year. The water receded quickly, but the grain production was halved. They After paying the tax and grain from the government, there were only a few buckets of grain left, and the common people could hardly survive. In order to survive, and to prevent their children from starving to death, many common people sold their sons and daughters. He insisted on selling his children It's just that his mother passed away yesterday. He didn't have money to bury the old man, and that's how he came to this point."

Qing Shu was silent.

Steward Ding's voice lowered, "Miss, his mother starved to death in order to save a bite for his grandchildren. His wife is too hungry to get up."

Qingshu's voice was faint, with a hint of sadness, "How is Shanzi's family?" When they left Beijing, it was raining one day, so they borrowed and lived in the house of Shanzi, a villager.

"Shanzi's grandparents felt that they were a burden and almost hanged themselves. Shanzi found out early and saved the person. The situation is not very good."

If you don't know each other, just close your eyes and ignore it.However, Guanshi Ding recognized Huzi, and Huzi recognized Qingyang.She couldn't turn a blind eye, "Give him a tael of silver and let him go back to bury the old man. We don't want people, we don't lack girls."

Manager Ding agreed, and went back to do what Qingshu asked.

At this time, Qingyang and the others quietly followed Qingshu, and they lost the mood of wandering around at all.Qingshu doesn't want to go back the same way, and doesn't want to meet Feng Hu, his father and his daughter.So they made a detour back to the inn.And the one who greeted them was Guanshi Ding, who looked like he had done something wrong.Standing at Guanshi Ding's feet was a teary-eyed little girl with a blade of grass stuck in her head.

Qing Shu frowned, "What's going on?"

Steward Ding lowered his head, "According to Miss's instructions, I gave Feng Huzi a tael of silver and asked him to take it back to bury the old man. At the same time, I made it clear that Miss has no shortage of girls, so I don't want to buy this girl. Never thought, Feng Huzi kowtowed, said a few words to the girl, took the silver, left the girl and ran away. The little one ran after him, crying, and fell down. The little one, The little one turned around to help her, and chased her away."
