When the three of them returned to the Xiaoxiang Hall, it was already noon. Xueyan said, "Miss, are you hungry? I'm going to cook." But it was prepared in the morning and handed to Daiyu, Daiyu just took a sip, Xueyan Wang and Chunxian came in, Wang and Chunxian came, I have something to say." Xueyan hurriedly went to Wang Nanny, Chunxian, Zijuan followed Daiyu into the house and helped Daiyu sit down, and asked: "Miss, after walking so long, are you thirsty?

Zijuan was so busy that Chunxian greeted Daiyu, and Daiyu said: "Everyone, don't be too polite, Zijuan Chunxian is your contract of prostitution, you can handle it yourself, Chunxian thank you You did everything for me." Zijuan and Chunxian finally sold their lives and kowtowed to Daiyu, and Chunxian gave Daiyu the Lin family's family gift, crying: "I only hate that I can't protect Miss Let Miss be wronged." Daiyu hurriedly helped her up, and said: "Uncle Lin Zhong is no longer a slave of the Lin family, but let you enter Jia's mansion as a maid. You could live freely, but you came here for me. , but I never protected you, I should be thanking you." Zijuan cried: "Girl, you can keep this deed of prostitution, the girl's heart for Zijuan, even slaves can't repay her."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Sister Zijuan, don't say that, I used to get sick every time, and I didn't rely on your care to get better that time. I think you should burn this deed of prostitution." Bringing a brazier over, Chunxian immediately threw the deed of sale into it, and said with a smile, "I'm finally free." She knew that she would get rid of slavery sooner or later, so she didn't care much.Zijuan still insisted on giving the deed of sale to Daiyu, but Daiyu had no choice but to accept the deed of sale, but turned and threw it into the fire. Zijuan wept with joy. free day.Busily knelt down and kowtowed again, Daiyu helped her up and said, "Now everyone is equal, you are no longer slaves, and we will all be one family in the future."Zijuan and others hurriedly said: "Your servant obeys orders." Daiyu said: "Since you are a family, don't call yourself a slave in the future. From now on, Zijuan will be the elder sister, and Xueyan Chunxian will be the younger sister. When there is no one, they should be called sisters. " Several people understood Daiyu's temper, and hurriedly agreed, but they all said to themselves in their hearts: Miss Lin will always be their master.

Daiyu said again: "Sister Zijuan, you should go home after lunch, let your parents and elder brother pack up and move out. You can go to Lin Zhongna first, and let's talk about your plans in the future." Zicuckoo hurriedly agreed.Mother Wang of Xueyan Chunxian was busy cooking. After everyone had finished eating, Daiyu wanted to sleep after sitting for a while. , Xueyan, you can also go to rest, it will be good if Chunxian and I are here to guard." The two agreed and went back to the room.

Zijuan packed up the monthly money she saved and the things Daiyu usually rewarded, and was about to go home. Xueyan hurriedly stopped her, took two clothes and wrapped them up, saying: "I'll go and see Qingwen." "The two walked all the way, Zijuan's house and Qingwen's cousin's house were not far away, they went to Qingwen's house first, Zijuan said: "You go first, and I will go to see Qingwen later." Xue The geese agreed and went to call the door, and the azalea went home by itself.

Let me say that after Zijuan arrived home, her family was having dinner. Zijuan's parents were very happy to see her back, and hurriedly said: "Girl, why are you back now? Have you eaten yet?" Said: "Father and mother, don't be too busy, I've eaten. I'm here to tell you some good news." Cousin Zijuan said: "Sister, sit down and rest for a while, I see that you are sweating."

Father and mother brother, our girl bought our contract of sale and burned it, father and mother Brother, we are free people now." Zijuan asked hurriedly: "Girl, is what you said true? We are free people now?" Zijuan hurriedly said: "How could I lie to you about such a big matter, Qian Zhen It’s true.” Zijuan’s parents knew that Zijuan had always been prudent, and she was sure she was right, so they wept with joy, and cried: “We are finally free, finally free, Gen’er, you can study and take the imperial examination. "It turned out that Zicuckoo's elder brother's nickname was Gen. He always liked reading, but because he was born in a family, he was not even qualified to take the imperial examination. Zicuckoo's cousin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the Grand View Garden.Zijuan's parents reacted, kowtowed three times, and said to Zijuan: "Girl, you tell Miss Lin that although the deed of sale is gone, our family is loyal to her, so don't let her down." Agreed, and then said: "Miss, let me tell you to clean up first, but don't make it public, just move away quietly, and said that you can go to Uncle Lin Zhong first. Uncle Lin Zhong was originally a slave of the Lin family, and his slave status has also been eliminated. Now there is a shop in Jinling." Zijuan's father said: "That's fine, if you want to come to that shop, Miss Lin also owns it. Wherever we go to work, it can be regarded as repaying Miss Lin. Gener, you should study hard and be a scholar next year. " Gen'er said: "I also do division of labor, so I can't let the uncle and aunt support me." Zijuan hurriedly said: "Brother, you can study at ease. This is my monthly money, and it is not spent. Our girl gave it to me. There are a lot, and there are things she rewarded, including jewelry and fabrics, all of which can’t be bought, enough for us to use for a few months, and my brother is admitted to the scholar and then to the Juren, and our family is considered a glorious lintel. At that time Also have the ability to protect the girl."

Brother Zijuan was moved, so he agreed, and said: "Master, aunt, sister, father is gone, I only have you relatives, and I will be your son from now on, father and mother, and my son kowtows to you." Mother hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Gen'er, you are the same as a girl in the hearts of our old couple. You can call yourself whatever you want." Gen'er still insisted, and Zicuckoo's parents agreed.

Zijuan sat down for another meeting, and repeatedly told her not to make publicity. The three of them agreed that Zijuan was relieved and wanted to leave. Gen'er sent her outside the door and said, "Sister, I will take care of you, father and mother." , you only take good care of Miss Lin." Zijuan agreed, and went to find Xueyan and Qingwen.

Qingwen's sister-in-law was washing clothes in the yard, and when she saw Zijuan coming, she hurried to make room for her.Because Daiyu gave a lot of money last time, Qingwen had a lot left after seeing her illness, so Qingwen's elder brother and sister-in-law treated her much better.Zijuan entered the room and saw that Qingwen was able to get out of bed, and she was happy. Qingwen was also happy to see Zijuan. The three had a conversation, and Qingwen said: "I can survive this time, thanks to Miss Lin. Thank her for me, and I will kowtow to her when I am well." Xueyan Zijuan agreed, seeing that the time was not short, so she hurried back in fear that Daiyu would wake up.
