Red House Farm Stay

"Open the door, open the door, is anyone home?"

"Here we come." Qing'er went to open the door, several people rushed in, and Ban'er walked among them with a frosty expression on his face.

"What's the matter, this is..." Jia Zhuo came out of the kitchen with his hands propped up, both hands were covered with sauces, emitting a spicy smell.

"Ban'er, I brought my friends to play. I'm eating at home, and grandma is going to buy vegetables." Grandma Liu came out of the house and said with a smile when she saw these people.

"Let me ask you, did someone come looking for you today." The man who spoke was Yuan Zishang.

"Didn't you leave? What's going on?" Jia Zhuo was at a loss.

Yuan Zishang said anxiously: "Don't worry about these things, you just need to answer me, has anyone ever come to look for you?"

"Yes, a child came to Miss Xiaozhuo and said that Brother Ban'er asked her to meet at Xirui Tower." Qing'er interrupted and replied.

Jia Zhuo also nodded, "Yes, what's the matter."

"That's you, tell me quickly, what did you do to Xiaojia." Yuanzi took a step forward anxiously, Ban'er pushed him away, and said with a frown, "I didn't bring you here to let you bully women of."

"What happened, can you tell me first." Jia Zhuo looked blank, Qing'er and Grandma Liu also looked around, as if they didn't know anything.

"Did you go to Xirui Tower? Who did you meet?" Yuan Zishang still asked forcefully.

"No." Jia Zhuo rolled his eyes at Baner.

Qing'er was also laughing, "How could Miss Zhuo go? Brother Ban'er thought that taking Miss Zhuo to eat delicious food would make up. You, think about it, and try to coax people in another way."

Ban'er touched his nose in embarrassment, "Stop making trouble, there is business."

Yuan Zishang was also confused. If this family was acting, their acting skills might not be too good.He frowned and said, "You really didn't go, you didn't go anywhere?"

"Didn't you see my sister's handmade sauce? We have been together since we got up early, and my grandma and I are at home. We don't know if she is out or not. The old man selling sesame candy at the intersection sits there all day. He recognizes our sister, believe it or not." You ask." Qing'er pursed her lips, because of her young age, she spoke very bluntly.

"What happened? The Xirui Building collapsed?" Jia Zhuo asked confusedly.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." After Ban'er finished speaking, he turned to Yuan Zishang and said, "Have you asked clearly? If not, you can go to the yamen and ask Lord Qin to ask again."

"I'm sorry, but I'm the one who cares about the chaos. I'll apologize to Brother Wang another day." Yuan Zishang bowed his hands and left quickly with a few people.

"What happened?" Grandma Liu couldn't help asking.

"The girl from the Li family is lost, and the Yuan family is looking for it urgently." Ban'er also looked confused when he said it.

They gathered a group of friends at the gate of the city in the morning, and when Prince Zhongshun's convoy passed by, Yuan Zishang and the retainer joined the army and followed them out of the city.

They were about to disperse when a little beggar came and threw a note to Yuan Ziwen.Yuan Ziwen became anxious when he saw it. He borrowed a horse and chased him out.

Ban'er and the others didn't know what happened, so they had to wait at the gate of the city.After a few of them came back, they realized that the note said that someone saw Li Xiaojia being knocked out and sent to Xirui Tower.

"Then hurry up and look for it in Xirui Building." Jia Zhuo was very excited.

"Someone has gone to look for it. Ziwen has already reported to the officials. It was a woman serving in the Li family who learned that the young lady was missing, so she told the truth. She said that Li Xiaojia found someone to trick you into Xirui Tower, but they didn't When you came out, she didn't see her own girl, so she thought that Li Xiaojia was going to look for Yuan Ziwen at the gate of the city, so she went back first."

Such a long list almost made Jia Zhuo dizzy.

"So, it's not you who came to me at all, it was Li Xiaojia who came to me in your name." Jia Zhuo entered the kitchen, working non-stop, still exclaiming in his mouth.

"Come on, I don't know when we had an awkward fight. Just pretend, there is no one outside." Ban'er was in the kitchen, almost close to Jia Zhuo's ear, and his breath sprayed Jia Zhuo's hair while talking. Up, itchy.

Jia Zhuo gave him an angry look, "itch."

"Where does it itch, I'll scratch it for you." Ban'er stretched out his finger, but he didn't dare to move it, and Jia Zhuo shrank back in fright just by making a gesture.

"Knowing that I'm acting, you cooperated so well. I feel that the three of us can sing a big show when we go out." Jia Zhuo chuckled lightly, deliberately spat out a breath on the face of Ban Er, and asked him, "Is it itchy?" .”

"It doesn't itch." Ban'er went to wash his hands with a smile and came back, "I'll help you install the altar."

"Wait a minute, dry your hands, don't get them wet with raw water." Jia Zhuo kicked him impatiently. It's not difficult to learn how to pickle pickled vegetables, but if you want to get delicious food, you have to be meticulous, and you have to control all the details.Whether it's temperature and humidity or a drop of raw water, if anything is wrong, it may ruin a jar of pickles.

Yuan Ziwen grabbed Prince Zhongshun's retainer and started a fight in the county government office.Yuan Ziwen revealed his business of human beings. The doorman's face was very ugly, and he denied it vigorously: "I don't want to talk to you, I just tell Lord Qin that I bought a few servant girls for the prince. , or the deed in the county government office, all the procedures are clear, what is the problem?"

"Don't be stupid, you know what I'm talking about. I mean the children of ordinary people. How many relatives does the woman in charge of the prince's mansion have in Wannian County? She brought seven or eight relatives' children along the way. You It’s basically human trafficking.”

Although Yuan Ziwen stopped his elder brother and grabbed the doormen, the convoy had already followed Prince Zhongshun, and he couldn't stop him alone no matter what.The prince's convoy was escorted by officers and soldiers. If it wasn't for Yuan Zishang, he might have hundreds of holes in his body by now and be thrown to the side of the road waiting for Yuan's family to collect his body.

He is now in a hurry to save Li Xiaojia, and dares to say anything.He couldn't believe how frightened and desperate Li Xiaojia would be when she was locked up inside.I dare not even imagine what Prince Zhongshun would do to her.

The county magistrate of Qin is one head and two elders. It is no secret in the aristocratic family that Prince Zhongshun likes fresh and beautiful girls.It's just that he has a sense of proportion and never stretches out his hand to the family, officials and eunuchs, so everyone turns a blind eye and closes one eye, letting him mess around.

Unexpectedly, the first detonation would be at his side.

"Lord Qin, don't listen to his nonsense, please order to stop Prince Zhongshun's convoy to save people." When Yuan Ziwen said this, Yuan Zishang had just arrived.Hearing this, he almost vomited blood.

Originally, this matter was easy to solve, but he came forward, saying that there was a misunderstanding, and asked the doorman to let Li Xiaojia go.He made a guarantee for the Li family that he would never discuss this matter indiscriminately, and he had all the face in his face.As a result, his silly brother yelled out as if a string was missing in his brain.

Now, the doorman just wanted to give him face, but he couldn't do it anymore.This matter is related to the reputation of Prince Zhongshun, and even more so, he will not admit it even if he is killed.Otherwise, it would be impossible for a doorman who trafficked people to become an official in his next life.

But how could these words be told to his younger brother in public, Yuan Zishang could only go forward and yell at his younger brother, "I have already been to Wang's house, and no one in Wang's house is going out today, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with them."

"It has nothing to do with them." Yuan Ziwen didn't believe it was done by Jia Zhuo at all. Jia Zhuo was a little girl herself, and Ban'er was with him all the time.Besides, the Li family still has a few women who can handle them, and the Wang family doesn't have any servants.

"There is no need to involve anyone else in this matter, he did it."

Yuan Zishang was about to go mad with anger, "Ziwen, this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term way. We can't just rely on a note and say that they kidnapped someone."

"Otherwise, why doesn't Xiaojia go home? Even if she goes out, she will go to find me, and she will never run away by herself." Yuan Ziwen had already had preconceived ideas. At this time, he decided that Li Xiaojia had fallen into the hands of a beginner Come on, hold on tightly, no one will let go.

"My lord, Lord Qingtian, save my daughter, save my daughter..." There was a heart-piercing cry from outside.

"Ask clearly what's going on, don't let people make too much noise." Mr. Qin already had enough headaches, and his temples jumped when he heard this desperate cry again.

"Returning to my lord, it seems to be the same thing." The person who returned the report carefully glanced at the county magistrate, and then at the doorman.

"Bring me here and ask." Master Qin called someone to come up, it turned out that it was a woman who grabbed an old woman and wanted to sue the officials to save her daughter.

"It is said that we have found a good family for our daughter. It is a distant relative of the wife in charge of the prince's mansion. I just happened to bring her there. It is a dowry gift of 100 taels of silver. It is said that there is no dowry, just for the good of others. It's all because my family's lard was fooled, and he actually believed it, thinking that he was sending his daughter to live a good life, but in the end he pushed her into the fire pit..."

The woman grabbed the old woman's hair and wouldn't let it go. No matter how hard the old woman struggled, even if she bit it, the woman's arm was bleeding, but she still refused to let go.

"My lord, my lord, it's fake, don't believe her, I didn't lie to her, I didn't lie to her." The old woman's hair was scratched, she twisted her body, and argued in a very weird posture.

"Didn't lie to her, then you said to propose marriage, what is the name and where does the proposer live, who are the parents, and who are the relatives with. The county magistrate will send a document, and you can find it out." Yuan Ziwen on the side was surprised. Smartened up, and asked.

"I, I, I..." The old woman could say all kinds of hype to the woman, but she had nowhere to check anyway.

But she didn't dare to lie to the county magistrate, so she could only howl, "It's really none of my business, they are greedy for money, and they did it voluntarily."

"My daughter, my poor girl, Lord Qingtian, please save my daughter." The woman finally let go of the old woman's hair and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Yuan Ziwen looked at the doormen with a sneer, with an expression of your fault.

The hall was so lively that it was like a boiling pot. The woman was stimulated, kowtowed and begged, or she would chase and beat the old woman.

Yuan Zishang was limited by his status, so he couldn't say anything, he could only sigh incessantly.

Finally, before Mr. Qin collapsed, the Yuan family had great news. Li Xiaojia was found, and nothing happened.She originally went back to Li's house, but she received a note saying that Yuan Ziwen asked her to go boating, so she went to the bridge and waited until she got impatient, and she didn't know what happened until she got home.

"Xiaojia is fine, really fine, great, great." Yuan Ziwen ran out like a whirlwind, leaving only Yuan Zishang scratching his nose and not knowing how to speak to the disciples.

But the doorman can't leave now if he wants to, because there is still a lawsuit against this woman in the hall, which also involves Prince Zhongshun.

Fortunately, the woman in the hall just identified the mother-in-law in Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and it has nothing to do with him. He only needs to support here as a guest.

Yuan Ziwen rushed back, saw Li Xiaojia surrounded by his family, and hugged her, "Where did you go, do you know, you scared me to death."

"I..." Li Xiaojia didn't have any impatience, she just smiled sweetly and said, "You are so worried about me."

"When I heard the news that you were kidnapped, I almost died of anxiety."

"I know, I've heard it all, you rushed into Prince Zhongshun's convoy alone for me." Li Xiaojia looked at him, and there was no one else in her eyes. This man, from now on, truly belonged to her.

It's a pity that Jia Zhuo didn't... No, she looked at her mother-in-law, she must have told the truth.

The mother-in-law's knees softened and she knelt down. She didn't want to say anything, but at that time Yuan Zishang rushed in with many people, as if something big had happened, how could she dare to hide anything.

Li Xiaojia's heart sank, knowing that her mother-in-law failed to keep the secret.

Sure enough, Yuan Ziwen saw that she was fine, and began to ask; "Why did you pretend to be Wang Tianzuo to ask Jia Zhuo out, and you also made an appointment at Xirui Tower."

"What about making an appointment at Xiruilou? It's not because it's close to her, so it's convenient for her. I'm just worried. I want to ask her out, and I beg her not to snatch you from me. I really think so, why did it change?" I really don't understand that after Cheng Cheng's mistake, it has something to do with Prince Zhongshun."

Li Xiaojia's heart was about to jump out, her biggest reliance was to pretend that she didn't know about Prince Zhongshun's retainer and buyer, pretending that everything was a coincidence.

Yuan Ziwen really didn't suspect him, put aside his doubts, "It's probably a solution thought up by the families of some cheated girls."

He would receive a note that Li Xiaojia was tied up, and Li Xiaojia would receive a note asking her to go boating, all in order to expose the kidnapping of people by the woman in Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

The two naive people sat together, unaware that the adults of the two families had already sat together, relatively speechless.

Yuan Zishang returned home, saw the elders of the two families, and sighed directly: "There are people coming over one after another, and I don't know who spread the news, but it seems that it can be solved with money. There is only one family, and they will not let go. "

"Will people be released over there?" Father Yuan asked.

"No, we will let her sell herself and return with the deed of selling herself." Yuan Zishang closed his eyes and said calmly.

"Ziwen is really too reckless." Father Yuan stamped his feet.

Father Li was also ashamed, "It's still Xiaojia who is ignorant."

Yuan Ziwen is easy to deceive, but they are not easy to deceive. It is clear at a glance what Li Xiaojia wants to do.It's just that they naturally wouldn't mention it, and chose to forget it as if there was no such thing.

Yuan Zishang said, "Let them get married early and send them to study outside. The little brother should also be sensible earlier, and we can't always be like this."

"Well, I'm relieved that he's half as sensible as you." Yuan's father was a little sad. It's okay for the youngest son to be spoiled, but if he is so spoiled that it hinders the elder brother's future without knowing it, it will be fatal.

"Yes, it's good to let them go out to see the world." Father Li also agreed, his daughter knew that she was no better than Yuan Ziwen.

The atmosphere in Wang's house was completely different. Ban'er ran out a few times, came back after inquiring about the news, and told Jia Zhuo and Qing'er.

"Those families are all gone, there is only one family, insisting on only having a daughter." Ban'er can't help but sigh, in fact, 100% of the girls abducted in this way are not taken seriously by the family, and there is a faint feeling in his heart that selling his daughter for [-] taels is not a loss idea.

"Then can this one come back?" Qing'er said innocently.

"I don't know either." Ban'er choked for a moment, he knew that this girl would never come back no matter what, but he didn't want to tell Qing'er the truth, he didn't want to see the disappointed and sad eyes in her eyes.

"Listen outside, is there something going on?" Jia Zhuo heard noises outside, Ban'er told them not to go out, and went out to find out by himself.

When he came back after a while, Ban'er opened the door directly, signaling that they were fine.Qing'er and Jia Zhuo went out to have a look, and it turned out that Mei Rui's family was slapping on the door of Granny Meng's house while shouting and cursing.

No one answered the door at Granny Meng's house. In the end, Father Mei chopped open the door of Meng's house with an axe.

"Run away, they ran away, sold my daughter, they ran away. They took our money, the old woman died, and cheated us so badly." Mei's mother was in the yard of Meng's house, pushing away the rooms one by one. Doors, all the rooms, everything that can be taken away, only the heavy and bulky furniture that cannot be taken away.

"Who are you and why did you break into my house?"

A middle-aged man walked in with two teenagers, and when he saw the smashed gate, he frowned.

"Who are you from Granny Meng? Hand her over quickly, no, no, you pay us the silver." Mei's mother rushed forward like crazy, startling the middle-aged man, and quickly avoided.

"What a mess, I bought the house half a month ago, and the owner said it would take a month to vacate the house. Today, the middle-aged man told me that the house can be taken over, so I came to have a look." The middle-aged man drove them out.

"If you have anything to do with the former owner, go to them. It has nothing to do with us. If you make trouble again, we will see you at the Yamen."

The house was sold, and the Mei family was dumbfounded.

"She sold the house, she actually sold the house, you know, he sold my daughter, my daughter."

The middle-aged man was slightly moved, and pointed in the direction of the yamen, "Hurry up and report to the officials, and watch what I do, I have nothing to do with the landlord."

The Mei family naturally knew that this matter could never be found on the new owner.

The middle-aged man walked to the door and saw a lot of leaders gathered. He clasped his hands together and said, "I am in Mameng. I have moved back to my ancestral home from other places. Please take care of me in the future."

"It's easy to say, where did Brother Ma get rich before?" Seeing a new neighbor, someone responded.

"I used to be in the fur business in Xiajiang Mansion. My parents are from Wannian County. Before they died, they wanted Ye Luo to return to their roots and be buried in the ancestral grave, so we just came back as a family." Ma Meng's voice was full of anger, listening He is a straightforward person, which makes people feel good.

"It turns out that's the case, and I need to ask for advice in the future." The neighbors were very supportive, and after some greetings, he left with the two young men.

"Li Hong..." Jia Zhuo, Qing'er, and Ban'er called out the name in their hearts almost at the same time.

Li Hong turned around and saw them smiling, without explaining anything, followed Ma Meng away.

Originally thought it was a good show, but the three of them were shocked instead.How did Li Hong appear? After finally leaving Wannian County, why did he come back, and why did he come back.

"In the end, what's going on?" Qing'er asked Jia Zhuo in a low voice.

"Anyway, they will move here, and we'll talk about it after they move here." Jia Zhuo felt that life was one shock after another.One thing is not over, another thing comes again.

"Well, we'll talk about it when he moves here." Ban'er came to a conclusion, and said, "I'll tell Dad tonight."

Li Hong didn't need to give them an explanation, he always needed to give an explanation to Wang Gou'er.

But the people in the Mei family inquired around and found out that Granny Meng's daughter-in-law had not returned to her natal family, but had reconciled with Granny Meng's son.But Granny Meng's son owed a lot of money because of gambling, and the house had already been mortgaged.

Granny Meng kept all these things a secret, and then, by virtue of her neighbors' trust in her for so many years, she tricked the Mei family into giving their daughter a gift of 100 taels.

The people from the Mei family went to the Yamen, but they didn't send their daughter to the inn by themselves, they just sent their daughter to Granny Meng's house.Everything was said by Granny Meng, but Granny Meng didn't see anyone, so she didn't even have the qualifications to negotiate terms.

The Mei family came back cursing, no matter how they thought about it, they didn't think it was worthwhile.When passing by the gate of Wang's house, Jia Zhuo looked at them coldly, and closed the door with a cold snort.

Regarding Meirui, Jia Zhuo can only wish her in his heart that no matter what she plans, everything she wants will come true.
