Chapter 54 (5) Grandma is a benefactor

Jia Yun couldn't afford eight hundred taels, and the bustard of Jinxiangyuan waited for him not to come to redeem him, and then thought that this matter was a dangerous business. Maybe it would be a disaster if the Rong Mansion suddenly regained its official position and came to the door. .It is better to transfer this child as soon as possible. But it is said that there used to be a troubled woman named Yun'er in this brothel, Suchang was familiar with Feng Ziying, Xue Pan and other disciples, and she also knew everything about Rongfu.After Sister Qiao came, she asked about the details, and couldn't help sighing sadly. It's true that the so-called rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and the life experience is sympathetic, so she protects Sister Qiao in every possible way, so that Sister Qiao has not suffered much from the abuse. Even playing and singing is also taught by her.Yun'er was a kind-hearted person, and she often planned for Qiaojie how to get out of the fire pit, so she took advantage of the gossip to persuade the bustard: "It's better to sell this child to a wealthy businessman from another place. future hazards.

Because Yun'er is very popular and has many contacts, she secretly pays attention to find a way for Qiao Jie.Coincidentally, someone came to Beijing recently, claiming that it was sent by a big merchant in Changlu Salt, and wanted to buy actors, instructors, silk string masters, and singers for the small opera troupe at home. I strongly recommend Qiaojie's talents and skills. The buyer sent by the rich merchant had seen Qiaojie, and he really liked it, so he asked the price to negotiate.Bustard opened his mouth three thousand taels. Afterwards, after talking about it, Yun'er also brokered a match, agreeing to pay 1,500 taels and pick an auspicious day to pay the recipient.

The merchant's family hired a boat, and sent all the purchased gear, musical instruments, and women's population out of the southeast gate of the capital, boarded the boat, and walked along the river to Changlu. At that time, it was a season of cold weather and shallow water, and the boat was not moving smoothly. It was seven or eight miles away from the city, and it was already past noon. In the distance, there was a restaurant looming among the willow trees on the bank. The guests urged the boatman to hold on until There to go ashore for wine and dinner. Here we have reached a stone gate bridge, and the rapids under the bridge are noisy.

The passengers asked the boatman to berth and pass the lock. The women on board were not allowed to disembark and walk around. When they came back from the restaurant, they would bring food for them to satisfy their hunger.After finishing the order, she left the boat and went ashore, and walked to the restaurant in the distance. Not to mention that they went to eat, drink and stroll by themselves, but only said that all the women on the boat had to wait quietly, and they couldn't help but go out of the cabin to see the scenery of the village.When I was relaxing, I suddenly saw a group of people running towards the boat. When they approached the boat, one of them saw a woman on the boat, and they pointed and shouted: "This is not the girl from our family who was sold by the liar. Come and snatch her and save her!" important!"

Unexpectedly, several women heard that they were coming to rescue people. They didn't come here for buying or selling, so they begged to flee back to the city together.Because they all cried and begged, those who came to save one had kind thoughts, and couldn't bear to leave them alone, so they hurriedly ordered: those who want to go, they can only run quickly with us, once they leave here, they will be hard to find , That's why, those who can't move their feet at a trot, don't get into trouble, and get into trouble instead! Let's say that Sister Qiao got into her heart when she heard this remark. They have customs in Jia's house. Although all the maids have it, the women in this house don't bind their feet, so they begged to escape from the trap together.

A group of people hurriedly chose a remote small field ridge and ran westward.One foot deep, one foot shallow, this is an unorthodox path to take.There are many small rivers in the field, and they have to cross a river ditch not far away.Qiaojie was flustered, she just ran away, she couldn't take a steady step, fell into the water, sprained her foot, climbed out of the water, the pain was so painful that she couldn't walk anymore. Seeing her like this, the accomplices were powerless to carry her away, they had no choice but to leave her behind, and everyone fled on their own. Qiaojie cried and had no way to save her, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't speak loudly, so she endured the pain in her feet and crawled to a haystack with a house, and found a firewood and weeds that could hide behind, and leaned there to breathe Back, listening to the sound of whether there is anyone coming to hunt down the fugitive.

It was silent for half a day.However, the sky has gradually turned into daylight, and flocks of old crows have been flying from the east in the sky, and there are wisps of smoke rising from houses near and far. Qiaojie has been here since the morning, hungry, thirsty and tired, and she doesn't know how to get through it when the night comes.At this time, the leg hurts like a cut, and I can't stand it anymore. After thinking about it, I have grown up since I was a child, and I have fallen to this point. A burst of sadness came from it, and all thoughts were afraid of ashes. Suddenly, a thought of "death" popped up in my heart.

When Qiaojie thought of this, tears really gushed out like a fountain, and she fainted from crying. Now it's Grandma Liu.In the evening of this day, seeing that her daughter was already busy cooking, she frantically took care of the housework.Her daughter, Gou, and daughter-in-law said, "There's not enough firewood! Grandma, you always help move some, so we can light the fire." Grandma Liu raised her legs and left after hearing the words.When I first came to the pile of haystacks and branches, I heard bursts of sobbing and sobbing, and I was quite surprised!When I turned to look behind the stack, I saw a girl covered in mud and water, and her bright silk clothes were torn to pieces, looking very embarrassed.Grandma took a deep breath, and thought to herself: "That year I coaxed Second Master Bao, saying that there was a girl named Ruoyu who became a god in my field, could it be that there really was such a fairy? Why is she in such a difficult situation?..." She rushed over, took the woman's hand, and asked why.

Sister Qiao opened her tearful eyes and saw that it was an elderly woman. She looked at it carefully, and burst into tears, and said, "Could it be that you are Grandma Liu who came to our house?" At this moment, grandma rubbed her eyes a few times, and after a while of careful consideration, Fang said: "You are the Qiao sister of Lian's second grandma's family? I just don't believe it! How did you come here? Isn't this a dream?..." Qiaojie cried once, but grandma couldn't finish listening, she was already crying so hard that she couldn't speak.After a while, he said, "Come with me!"
