At the beginning, Qiu Yue and Xia He were not their parents who sold them directly to Sima Mansion, thinking about it, Da Sima is equivalent to a local high-ranking official, how noble his status is, how can the family accept people casually.

At the beginning, Qiuyue and Xia He's father and mother sold them to a woman named Hongma, this Hongma is doing this kind of business, buying children from poor families, training them and then selling them to some big families, earning a good price difference, at that time, Qiuye and Xia He were only two or three years old, too young, not able to become qualified maids, Hongma originally planned to wait for the two little girls to grow up a little bit, but at that time, Da Sima's woman had just given birth to a little daughter, and planned to find two little maids of about the same age, Hong's mother had never done business with a big figure like Da Sima before, and after learning about it, she hesitated for a long time before she made a decision to take the two little girls to meet Da Sima's wife.

Things are also going well, Da Sima's wife fell in love with these two well-behaved little girls at the first sight when she saw Qiu Yue and Xia He, and bought them at a price of two hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money, and Hong Ma took the money and did not dare to stay in the imperial capital again, for fear that the leakage would cause trouble, so she left the imperial capital with the silver.

The matter has come to an end here, and it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with the second housekeeper, and he was the same back then.

Guan Xiaoyun looked at the treatment, staring at the word Red Mother with a bitter face, an ordinary woman and has been away from the imperial capital for many years, where to find it, trying to find Red Mother is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The turning point appeared, and the second housekeeper mysteriously took out a slightly thin ledger from a box and handed it to Guan Xiaoyun, Guan Xiaoyun opened it and looked at it, and was pleasantly surprised to find the whereabouts of the red mother recorded at the end of the ledger, and at the same time, it also came with the life experiences of Qiuyue and Xia He.

It turned out that after Qiu Yue and Xia He were sent to the palace, the second housekeeper knew that if the two of them were famous in the palace, they would definitely look for news of their family in the future, which was his experience for so many years, so the second housekeeper sent someone to find the whereabouts of Hongma, and finally he was really found by him in Beiping County.

Who knows, Qiu Yue and Xia He are not good in the palace, although the two of them have also asked the second housekeeper, of course the second housekeeper will not inform the two girls of the news he got in vain, after all, whether it is looking for Hongma or buying information, he has spent a lot of silver, so he offered a price of fifty taels of silver per person.

The second housekeeper thought that the two of them were on an errand in the palace, and they would be able to scrape together enough money for a year and a half, but what they never expected was that he waited for two years, and Qiu Yue and Xia He did not have any news.

I thought that the money was wasted at the beginning, but I didn't expect that it was not useless, and now it just came in handy. The information is very detailed, although it is only the information of the year, but it is easy to do with these, even if Qiuyue and Xia He's family leave their original place of residence, with their information, their whereabouts can be found from the local household office.

Although Guan Xiaoyun attaches great importance to silver and picks the door, but this second housekeeper did help a lot, and it cost a lot of real money back then, Guan Xiaoyun can't let the family suffer, so he generously threw more than a dozen coppers to the second housekeeper and floated away, leaving only the second housekeeper looking at the copper in his hand and smiling bitterly, but he was already very satisfied, at least Guan Xiaoyun still let him go, otherwise if he was taken to the dark night, he would have to explain all the before, and then I am afraid that he would have to stay in prison for the rest of his life.

Yuyue was very puzzled: "Having said so much, where are Qiuyue and Xia He's family?" ”

Sang Rou suddenly said: "Oh, I almost forgot, Qiuyue's father and mother went to settle in Qiuyuan County in Dongping County after leaving the imperial capital, and Xia He's family went to Nanzhou, it seems to be in the area of Linhai County." ”

Yuyue's face changed when she heard this, Nanzhou, and Linhai County again, for so many years, the Japanese people have often harassed the coastal cities of the empire, Linhai County is the first to bear the brunt, the nature of the Japanese people is cruel and cruel, and few people set fire to do all kinds of evil, Xia He's family went there, will it? Yuzuki's eyes glistened with worry.

Sang Rou continued: "There is one more thing. ”

Seeing that Sang Rou's face was not very good-looking, Yuyue's heart tightened, could there be worse news? Sang Rou sighed and said, "It's not Xia He, it's Sister Jingqiu." ”

Yuyue was stunned: "What's wrong with Sister Jingqiu?" ”

Sang Rou smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if it's providence or coincidence, remember the red mom I said just now?" ”

Yuzuki nodded. Sang Rou continued: "Then do you know Sister Jingqiu's life experience? ”

Yuyue blinked her eyes: "Sister Jingqiu didn't say that she was an orphan." ”

Yuyue sighed again: "No, Sister Jingqiu and Qiuyue have similar experiences. Yuzuki's mouth opened wide in surprise when she heard this, her face full of disbelief.

Sang Rou glanced at the direction of the stairs, as if she could see Yu Jingqiu's complicated expression: "Sister Jingqiu's home, like Qiuyue and Xia He, was in Dongzhou back then, that year the Ningyuan Empire committed a border, and caught up with the drought, Sister Jingqiu's family left their hometown like everyone else, and the rest of the experience was similar, no food, no silver, her father and mother really had no choice, so they sold Sister Jingqiu to traffickers, at that time, Sister Jingqiu had already remembered, I heard her say that there were many people who couldn't survive and sold their children and daughters, These children were transferred by human traffickers several times, Sister Jingqiu was finally sold to Nanzhou, where she was a girl in a large family, and later, the Japanese people looted, and the family died and fled, leaving only some old and weak people who could not make a living, so they began to sell their property to barely make a living, Sister Jingqiu was sold to Qinglou at that time, Sister Jingqiu swore to die, and when she was about to be killed, she happened to be met by General Xia Liang, General Xia Liang rescued Sister Jingqiu and brought her back to the barracks, and this red mother was one of those traffickers. ”

Yuzuki's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "It turns out that Sister Jingqiu still has such an experience, but this is too coincidental." ”

Sang Rou shrugged: "It's not all, do you remember that there was a time when General Xia Liang often brought some little girls back?" ”

Yuyue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, I remembered, by the way, it seems that Xiaolu was brought back by General Xia Liang during that time, right?" ”
