Chapter 37: Growing Greater in the Midst of Disaster

The back street of Ningguofu, Li Yan's home. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yan's mother, Qian Shi, was taken aback when she watched her son lead two dirty little girls in! hurriedly asked Li Yan what was going on.

After Li Yan explained to her that this was Jia Qing's maid who was temporarily "deposited" in their family, the Qian family was relieved. Then he led the two girls to bathe.

When the two little girls came out in Li Yan's sister's clothes after bathing, Li Yan was shocked, because these two girls actually looked the same!

Qian was also very surprised, they couldn't see that they were dirty just now, and when she bathed the two of them, she was surprised to find that they were actually twin sisters!

It's just that these two children don't speak much, and apparently they have suffered some sin and become very timid.

Qian asked them about their identities, and they only said that their families had suffered a disaster and were sold by their fathers, and the others said that they couldn't remember, but they were the same as the man who sold them.

But Jia Qing didn't wronged the trafficker! It's fate, when he saw these two girls, they were already so dirty, and he didn't see that they were a couple, but he was not an authentic human trafficker organization, but by chance he saw the two of them guarding a corpse on the side of the road crying, and it happened that he was a little short of money, so he had the idea of selling them for a profit!

After hastily burying the corpses, he taught them this way of saying, and went into the city to sell them......

In this case, this trafficker is much more forgivable than the person who abducted Xiangling, after all, their tragedy was not caused by him.

It can even be said that he gave them a chance to survive! So that they can meet Jia Qing and change their lives. Who can say anything about fate?

Seeing that this was not something to ask from the mouths of these two girls, Qian Shi waved his hand and asked Li Yan's sister Li Shu to take them to her room, and then whispered to Li Yan: "Yan'er can afford these two girls?" ”

Qian is ready to prepare a daughter-in-law for his son......

Of course, Li Yan understood what his mother meant, shook his head, and said to the Qian family: "Mother took advantage of this idea as soon as possible, and spent forty taels of silver for these two girls and second masters, and she is going to buy a yard for them to live in." ”

When Qian heard this, he really didn't have this idea. In their eyes, they all agreed that Jia Qing was looking for a little wife for himself, and of course the Qian family didn't dare to rob Jia Qing of people.

"Also, it's better for my mother not to tell others about this, because the second master doesn't want his affairs to be known by irrelevant people.

By the way, this is the twenty taels of silver given by the second master, and it is said that it is a year-end bonus given in advance! Saying that, Li Yan took out the silver Jia Qing gave him and handed it to his mother.

Qian's great joy, the son has only followed the second master for a few months, and he has taken back more than a dozen taels of silver, and this time it is twenty taels, it can be seen that the son is very valued by the second master, while taking the silver, he advised: "What award is not awarded, but the second master is generous, taking care of you, you have to remember the second master's kindness, and in the future, the errand ordered by the second master will be done, which can be regarded as repaying the second master's grace." ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, my son must follow his mother's teachings, and he must do a good job for the second master!" Okay, my son still has something to do, so I'll leave first. "He still has to go with Wang Shun to find a suitable yard.

"What's the panic, I'll leave after lunch......"

"No, the second master's errand matters!"

Qian looked at his son's fiery back, and felt that his son suddenly seemed to be a person who did great things, and he was relieved, so he went.

……

The next morning, Jia Qing and the three of them went to Shen Mansion as promised, this time they went by carriage, Ning Guofu to Shen Mansion is still quite far, Jia Qing didn't want to go so far, so he asked Lai Sheng for a carriage, Li Yan drove the car, Wang Shun and Jia Qing sat in the carriage.

At first, Wang Shun didn't dare, but after Jia Qing said, "Otherwise, don't go", he obediently got into the carriage.

This carriage was used by Jia Rong when he went to school, and it was beautifully furnished, but now he doesn't have to go to school, and the carriage is naturally idle. Lai Sheng also asked Jia Qing if he liked it before, so he simply gave it to him, anyway, Jia Qing would definitely have to be equipped with a carriage when he went to school in Guozijian in the future.

Jia Qing suspects that Jia Rong has used it, don't do it!

At this time, in the carriage, Jia Qing asked Wang Shundao: "Did you choose your yard yesterday?" ”

Wang Shun said sharply: "According to the second master's instructions, yesterday Li Yan and I asked seven or eight people who wanted to sell houses in the backstreet, and finally selected two courtyards, and just waited for the second master to come over and take a look. ”

Hearing that they were so efficient, Jia Qing nodded with satisfaction, and said enough words of praise, with their current level of trust, these things only need to be remembered in their hearts.

After handing over the soap recipe he had compiled to Shen Congcheng and instructing the technician Shen Congcheng to find to test it a few times, Jia Qing shirked Shen Congcheng's retention and returned to Xicheng in a carriage.

Entering the back street of Ningguo Mansion, I saw a courtyard through the window, and Wang Shun said: "Second master, that is the courtyard we like the most, and it is close to our house." It's just that the price is a little more expensive, and the owner will have to pay for four hundred taels, and he won't do it if he says one or two less! ”

Jia Qing knew the purchasing power of ancient silver, although the houses in the capital were definitely more expensive than other places, but four hundred taels was indeed too expensive, and go in and out to see how the layout was.

After the carriage stopped, after Jia Qing and Wang Shun came down, Li Yan ran over and knocked on the door, and it was an old man in his forties or fifties who opened the door.

After Jia Qing entered, he saw that it was good, the standard courtyard house was clean and tidy, in addition to the main hall, there were seven or eight rooms, which was very suitable for being the contact point in Jia Qing's mind. So he turned to the old man and asked, "Who were you the previous head of the household?" ”

The old man saw that it was obvious that Jia Qing was the master, and hurriedly replied: "It's my master!" I stayed to guard the house, and before the lord left, I was told to sell the house when I met a suitable buyer......"

"Oh? Who is your grandfather? ”

"My grandfather used to work in the household department, but at the beginning of the year, he was released from Jiangling Zhixian and moved away."

Hehe, it was still a small bureaucrat's residence, but now he has been promoted to a local parent official, no wonder he doesn't care about this house.

It's just that this place is close to Ning Rong and the two mansions, and this house can only be bought by the people of the Jia family, after all, almost all the people living around are the subordinates of the two mansions and the younger brothers of the partial house, who else wants to live in?

However, buying this yard in four taels is still within the acceptable range, and I don't bother to bargain with an old man like this housekeeper, so I buy it directly.

The old man was overjoyed, and said that he could move out immediately, and he could come to take over the house in the afternoon, and it seemed that he had already wanted to move out.

Jia Qing handed over the rest to Li Yan to deal with, and returned to Yipintang by himself.

When Jia Qing came here again, it was already the next morning, and when he saw two almost identical twin little sisters in the main hall in front of him, Jia Qing thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, and found that it was still the same, he looked at Li Yan again, wondering if it was Li Yan's ghost.

Li Yan shook his head firmly at him.

What the hell, yesterday two dirty ugly ducklings were able to turn into two cute little swans in one day, and they were twin sisters!

Jia Qing was suddenly glad that he had bought them, otherwise with the situation of their sisters, if they were ......

Suddenly, it occurred to me that they were now in their own hands, what should they do, and the idea of sending the sisters had been shaken...... Twin sister flowers, what a moving term!

Now they're still so young, they can just train and train well! Later words......

Zi, wiping the water stains from the corners of his mouth, Jia Qing forcibly threw these bad thoughts out of his mind, looked at the two sisters who were worried, and said in a tone as soft as possible: "What are the names of the two of you, can you tell my brother?" ”

The two sisters looked at the gentle expression on the face of this brother, who was not much older than them, and the expression was very hesitant, not knowing if they could tell it, the man had told them that if they said the wrong thing, they would be beaten severely with a whip by the master, so they did not dare to disobey what he said.

Jia Qing probably understood the training methods of those human traffickers, so he asked softly, "That person is not your father, is he?" ”

Seeing the frightened expressions on their faces, Jia Qing's heart was a little stinged, and he endured and continued: "Don't be afraid, my brother won't blame you, and my brother will be good to you in the future, so now that my brother asks you, you all answer your brother truthfully, okay?" ”

Finally, Jia Qing's gentleness and kindness worked, and one of the sisters replied: "I am Huahua, my sister, she is Huahua, and I am my sister." That man was a good man, he helped us bury our mother's body and give us food, but yesterday my brother beat him......"

What kind and innocent girls, in their world, the definition of a good person is so simple! I don't know if the trafficker with forty taels of money will be tortured by his conscience when he hears this.

"How did your mother die?" Jia Qing asked in response to their words.

Hearing this, the little girl's tears could not stop flowing, and she cried and said, "We don't know, but more and more people are dying in the village, so my father left the village with my mother and us, and then for some reason, my father abandoned us and went back alone." Whining! ~

…… We asked my mother why my father had gone, and she said he had gone back to get food...... Mother lies! My father hasn't come to us since.

It's just that my mother often cries after falling asleep and says what the plague says~ harmful, brother, do you know what the plague is? Why does my mother say it's harmful? And why doesn't our father want us~"

Jia Qing stepped forward and grabbed the two tearful people who couldn't cry.

Don't want you? I'm afraid I don't want to bother you! Plagues, needless to say, are known to be one of the most terrible disasters in ancient times and even in modern times. I guess their father must have had a good wish that they could live before he left!

Father's love is like a mountain.

"And what about later? How did you get here? ”

Because I hadn't heard of a plague anywhere near the capital, Jia Qing asked.

Later, my mother took us all the way this way, and when we finished eating, when we were hungry, my mother went to beg others...... However, I can get less and less food, and then one day, my mother can't get up, woo~ No matter how we cry and shout, she just can't get up, my sister and I are so sad and sad. ”

Jia Qing's eyes were moist.

"Then we met the man, and he told us to call him Daddy, and then he gave us food ......"
