Blessings of Time Traveling
Chapter 9
It has been more than eight years, nearly nine years since Sanni was sold and left home.This time the family finally had the opportunity to meet again, and the eldest and second sisters of the Qi family were naturally unwilling to let it go.And Qi Mingcheng, as the male of the Qi family, should take up the responsibility of a brother, so naturally he has to go to town.
Going from the village to the town, not to mention that Shanglai Village is not too far from Lidong Town, even if it is the kind of village that needs to walk all day and night to reach the town, the villagers want to go to the town. Walk on two legs.In short, transportation in this era basically relies on walking.
There are also bullock carts, but this thing cannot be popularized.First of all, a cow is a big item, and it takes several villages to find a cow.Let’s not talk about the cattle owner’s reluctance to let the cattle pull the cart. Let’s just talk about the terrain of Lidong Town. This is a hilly area. There are no big mountains in the town, but there are many high and low hills. The mountain roads are rugged and winding. Taking a car, you need to hold the car on your shoulders on most sections of the road, which is not worth the candle!
In order to get to Lidong Town before noon, Qi Erniang took Qi Mingcheng and went out with dry food before dawn.
When they reached Xiahe Village, the siblings called Mrs. Qi and Wu Shun again.
Because they were worried about Qi Mingcheng's health, everyone walked unhappily.If only Wu Shun was alone, even if he set off an hour late, he could reach Lidong Town before noon.But with Qi Mingcheng, a sick child, everyone was cautious, and would rather start earlier and walk more slowly.
The eldest brother-in-law Wu Shun has seen Qi Mingcheng much more pleasing to the eye recently, and some roads are more difficult to walk, so he still lends a helping hand.
The recuperating effect of Lingshui was finally revealed.Qi Mingcheng walked so many mountain roads in one breath, except for a little shortness of breath, there was no other major problem.You know, when Yuan Bo went to the town to study before, the road was always stopped and stopped, he could go from when the sun was just rising until it was dark.
The other courtyard of the Zhou Mansion is located in the south of Lidong Town near the Lidong River, which is also the "rich area" of Lidong Town.
Qi Mingcheng drank a little water.The two sisters straightened their hair.Then, they were led by Wu Shun towards their destination.
The back door of the Zhou Mansion was closed, and it would only be opened for a short while when the servants in charge of purchasing needed to go in and out.For fear of causing trouble to Sanni, Wu Shun and the others did not dare to knock on the door, nor did they dare to talk to the servants who came in and out, so they had to stand obediently at the back door and wait.
After a short wait, the back door opened again.Qi Erniang stared at the door with some excitement.
It was still not Sanni who came out of the door, but a well-dressed young man.Behind the young master are two servants.One of the servants stared at Qi Mingcheng and his party with vigilant eyes, and asked bluntly, "Who are you? Why are you sneaking around here?!"
Qi Mingcheng touched his nose.How can they be sneaky, they are obviously waiting for someone frankly!
However, compared to Qi Mingcheng's calmness, the two elder sisters of the Qi family lowered their heads in fear at the first moment.Although Qi Mingcheng could always see some netizens shouting "the world is unfair" on the public Internet platform before crossing, but in fact, compared with the later generations whose legal system is gradually perfected, the feudal dynasty that Qi Mingcheng lives in at this moment is the real world injustice.At this time, the common people did not live so confidently at all.
Perhaps it was because the young servant's attitude was too arrogant, the young master scolded him in a low voice.
The boy's arrogance disappeared immediately, and he shrank his head subconsciously, looking very innocent.He is not very old, only eleven or twelve years old.
However, even though the young master was dissatisfied with his servant's attitude, his eyes were also on Qi Mingcheng and the others.
To be precise, he was looking at Qi Mingcheng.
Because, now only Qi Mingcheng dares to look at the young master very calmly.
Qi Mingcheng then explained: "Cao Min's elder sister sold herself to your house, we are waiting here, just looking for an opportunity to meet her."
The little boy nodded, pointed to the other servant behind him, and said: "Who are you waiting for, what is your name, what age is it, where is your place of origin? Tell him. He will help you find your relatives." " After saying that, the young master turned around and told the boy: "After you find out who their relatives are, you go and invite them out and ask their families to meet up. .”
Qi Mingcheng bowed to the young master according to the way scholars saluted each other when they met in memory, and said, "Thank you, young master."
The young master nodded dispensably, left one servant behind, and took the other away, probably for shopping.
Qi Mingcheng is a fine person, so how could he not know that the reason why the young master kept the young servants was to help them find their relatives, but in fact he was probably monitoring them, right?Such a handsome young master must be the master of the mansion, could it be the grandson of the old lady of the Zhou mansion?
However, why did the master go out through the back door instead of the front door?
Qi Mingcheng suppressed the doubts in his heart, cupped his hands at the boy, and said, "This little brother..."
The little servant said bluntly: "I can't be called this little brother, I'm just a servant, you just call me Akang."
When Qi Mingcheng was telling A Kang about Sanni's message, the back door opened again, and this time it was Sanni who came out.
The two elder sisters of the Qi family recognized their younger sister at a glance.Even though she was taller, paler, and not at all what she used to be, the sisters still easily recognized her younger sister.The two of them didn't care about the people around them, they hugged each other without saying a word, tears fell down.
Sanni was still restrained at first, it can be seen that her sisters were crying, and she couldn't help crying after leaving her hometown for eight years.
With great difficulty, the three of them stopped their tears.Qi Erniang pulled Qi Mingcheng forward and said to Sanni: "Here, this is Mingcheng."
Qi Mingcheng smiled and called "Third Sister".
Mrs. Qi hurriedly introduced Wu Shun to Sanni.Sanni bowed to Wu Shun and called "brother-in-law".
Seeing that their family was reunited, the boy, Akang, took a few steps back consciously.Although he didn't leave, he didn't interrupt their chat either.
Qi Mingcheng looked at Sanni generously.The clothes on her body are [-] to [-]% new, but the material is not as good as A Kang's. From this, it can be seen that Sanni may be just an ordinary little maid, unlike Yuanyang and Xiren in "Dream of Red Mansions", who are already in front of the master. Mixed into a proud person.However, Sanni looks good, and her hands are white and tender, she should not have done any rough work, she is probably the second-class maid in front of the master.
The second-class maid is just right, she doesn't have to work too hard, and she is not like the first-class maid, because she is too dependent on her master, so it is not easy to redeem herself.
Sanni asked about family affairs, but the second sister didn't dare to say too much to worry Sanni, so she didn't mention Father Qi at all, but instead talked about her own tofu business.Sanni was really happy when she heard that, she quickly wiped away her tears, took out a small bag of silver from her sleeve, stuffed it into the second sister's hand, and said, "Sister, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the Zhou mansion all these years, so I just took out a small bag of silver." The monthly bills are saved, you can use it to subsidize your family."
How could Qi Erniang accept this money, she was unwilling to accept it anyway.
Qi Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Third sister, the life at home is not too difficult now, you should keep the money yourself. Eight years ago, we were useless, so tired that you sold yourself as a slave and couldn't be free. I don't know how the Zhou mansion is now. What rules, we still want to redeem Third Sister!"
Sanni was stunned for a moment when she heard Qi Mingcheng's words.
The two elder sisters of the Qi family echoed one after another: "Yes, you keep the money for yourself. You might as well ask the nobles again, and if you find out the money for the redemption, we will try our best to get it together." Knowing the price of ransom, they also have hope.
Sanni's tears that had just stopped began to flow again, she wiped the veil carelessly, and the veil quickly wet a large piece.
Second Sister Qi still remembered the two younger sisters, Si Ni and Wu Ni. When she asked San Ni, San Ni said with a gloomy expression: "At that time, Dad took us to sell, and the toothmaid asked Si Ni and Wu Ni. I said that it was just right, so I took them to another room and locked them up. I wanted to take good care of my sisters, but they were taken away by a carriage on the second day. I I asked the prostitute, but she refused to tell me where my sisters went, she only threatened me that if I don't want to die about the nobles, I can just go and inquire about it."
The clues just stopped.The sisters of the Qi family turned pale.Mrs. Qi was on the verge of collapse: "On that day, if I hadn't led Erni to the mountain to pick up autumn fruits, as long as I stayed at home, even if I hanged myself at the door of my house, I wouldn't let my father take my sisters away. It's sold!"
Wu Shun comforted his wife and said, "They just expected this, and they deliberately sent you and your aunt and sister away."
After all, Sanni is serving people, even if she is not on duty, she cannot leave the inner courtyard for too long.The whole family stood at the back door and bid farewell, feeling that getting along was not enough.In the end, it was Sanni who made a decisive decision. After making an appointment with her family for the next meeting, she turned around and returned to Zhou Mansion.
Qi Mingcheng bowed his hands to bid farewell to the servant Akang, and the family left the alley where the back door of the Zhou Mansion was located.
Sanni walked briskly into the second door.
As soon as the doorkeeper woman saw her, she immediately called out "Miss Fu'er" with a smile on her face.Fu'er is Sanni's name in the Zhou Mansion, and was bestowed by the old lady.When the old lady was young, she liked to give elegant names to the maids around her, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now that she is older, her preferences have changed. My son, I still say that vulgarity is elegance.
Sanni replied reservedly, and continued to walk towards Mrs. Zhou's yard without stopping.
The eldest maid, Lu'er, was guarding the door. Seeing Sanni's red and swollen eyes, she couldn't help but sneered, and said, "If you want me to say, you are all stupid. If the family really cares about you, We could have sold you back then? That little girl Sanxi lived frugally, and she thought her family was willing to redeem her body. In fact, her parents’ precious son was filled in the monthly bill... Fortunately, you listened to me and never gave up. I borrowed an old dress from Sanxi to wear, otherwise your family would see you dressed like a young lady, and they would grab your body and suck your blood dry!"
Sanni knew that Lu'er was a knife-mouthed bean curd, and said with a smile: "What kind of lady is not a lady, I don't want people to hear that you are frivolous."
Sanni thought to herself, her relatives are different from Sanxi's and Lu'er's relatives!However, she didn't want to tell the truth and hurt Lu'er's heart, so she deliberately changed the subject and asked, "Didn't the old lady tell you to serve Miss Biao? Why don't you follow Miss Biao?"
Lu'er said nonchalantly, "Miss Biao is taking a break for lunch...I'll come and see my godmother."
Both Lu'er and Sanni were the first-class maids in front of the old lady, and Lu'er also recognized Shi Mama who was next to the old lady as a godmother.
Sanni sighed, with Lu'er's temperament, thanks to the fact that she is the son of the Zhou family and has Mother Shi taking care of her, otherwise how could she secure the position of first-class maid?Although there were not too many dirty things in the Zhou Mansion, as long as there were people, there would naturally be Jiang Hu.
As a servant girl, no matter how proud she is, the face is given by her masters. They are like morning dew on the grass and duckweed on the water.
Fortunately, I still have relatives, I remember where I came from, and I still have a place to return to.Sanni thought so.
Going from the village to the town, not to mention that Shanglai Village is not too far from Lidong Town, even if it is the kind of village that needs to walk all day and night to reach the town, the villagers want to go to the town. Walk on two legs.In short, transportation in this era basically relies on walking.
