Chapter 5827 Sold
“Auntie, I am Xiaohong, who are you?”
“It’s Xiaohong, come in with me quickly.”
The middle-aged woman grabbed Xiaohong's arm and pulled her into the alley.
Xiao Hong was a little panicked, grabbing the alley wall with her other hand, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
"Don't yell, don't yell. It was your master who asked me to take you in."
Hearing this, Xiaohong let go of his hand, followed the middle-aged woman into the alley, and then entered it again A small yard.
As soon as he entered the yard, a sack was pulled down in front of him. When his vision went dark, he was hit on the back of his head by something similar to a wooden stick, and he completely lost consciousness.
Shuhua left the alley with fifteen taels of silver in her purse.
Twelve taels is the money for selling Xiaohong. Xiaohong is a yellow-flowered girl. She has a good appearance and figure. She is young and the price is relatively high.
The other five taels are Xiaoqing's money that Renyazi paid in advance.
Xiao Qing is no longer perfect, and her figure is good, but her appearance is not as good as Xiao Hong's, so the price is naturally lower than Xiao Hong's.
The two girls put together fifteen taels of silver, and Shuhua was not too little, and took advantage of this chaos to sell off the two uneasy foxes, especially since she still had the leverage on Xiaoqing. In that girl’s hand, When the husband came back, he said that the two maids had heard about the disaster at home, so they took a lot of money and ran away...
Only myself, sharing weal and woe, guarding the house without hesitation, waiting for him to come back.
Shuhua walked around the street, guessing that it was almost time, and quietly returned home.
At home, Xiao Qing is no longer there, and Xiao Qing's house is in chaos. You can imagine how shocked and panicked the dead girl was when people came to pick up the goods.
Shuhua thought about it more and more. She returned to her house and picked up all the hidden silver coins. She went out in the dark and found a regular bank to exchange them for silver notes and hid them close to her body. .
I didn’t dare to go back to that house, so I found an inn to stay.
A woman with a certain beauty, fearing that an ordinary inn would be unsafe, she wandered the streets of Qing'an County. At night, the three-story Tianxiang Tower attracted her attention.
Well, I heard that Tianxiang Tower is opened by the wife of the General Protector. Although it is related to Changping Village, people here will not recognize her.
Moreover, the great general who protects the country is famous, and it is impossible for anyone to come to the restaurant owned by his wife to find trouble. Shuhua entered the restaurant and asked for a guest room.
As soon as Shuhua entered the guest room, Yang Huazhou got the news.
"Uncle Wu, the woman mentioned in Qing'er's letter really came to our restaurant, what's going to happen next?"
The person who came to report the news was none other than the one who came to avoid the three men a while ago. Yang Yongqing ran to Qing'an County in retaliation for Yang Yongxian.
Yang Huazhong thought for a moment, "Follow what Qing'er said in the letter and don't hurt people's lives."
Yang Yongqing smiled evilly: "Okay, I know what's appropriate, so I'll make arrangements."
......
Exchange all the jewelry into silver, including Gu Zhihua's zero days during this period. In addition to the scattered silver, as well as the money she had received from selling Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, Shuhua hid a hundred taels of silver notes close to her body, leaving about ten taels of silver as pocket money.
Because she can't go back to the house before Gu Zhihua comes back, she will stay here tonight and hire a carriage early tomorrow morning to go back to Wanghai County to find her aunt and uncle for help.
The food was delivered to the house by the restaurant waiter. Even though she was on the run, Shuhua did not wrong herself or the child in her belly.
Saliva chicken, honey-glazed pork chops, sesame oil cabbage hearts, pig's trotters and soybean soup, and a plate of horse cakes.
"Brother, could you please help me find a carriage? The driver looks honest and reliable. I will leave for Wanghai County early tomorrow morning."
Shuhua I grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave them to the guy.
The waiter held the money in both hands and grinned widely. "Madam, don't worry, I'll go find it right now and have someone wait at the door of the restaurant early tomorrow morning."
Wait until After people went out, Shuhua twitched her lips. In this world, it doesn't matter where you go. It's easy to do things if you have money!
She had thought about it, if Gu Zhihua couldn't come out this time and the Gu family's business couldn't start up, she would fly solo.
She still has the title deed of the small house on her body, and the small yard can be easily sold for two to three hundred taels of silver. When the time comes, I will have more than four hundred taels of silver with me, my heart, and this in my belly, and I will be able to live comfortably wherever I go.
……
Shuhua was still dreaming when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"Sir, I am the waiter of the restaurant. I have found the coachman as you asked, and he is waiting downstairs."
There was a pause in the room. Exit, "I'll go downstairs right now. You first have someone drive the car to the back door of the restaurant and wait for me."
Shuhua's banknote was hidden close to her body in her clothes. She raised her hand and touched it. , um, still there.
In order to go downstairs quickly and avoid being targeted by Lai Touhua's people, Shuhua hurriedly went downstairs and got into the carriage without opening her purse to check.
Before leaving, the waiter told the coachman in front of Shuhua: "This is a guest of our restaurant. You must carefully transport him to Wanghai County."
The coachman nodded, and the carriage left smoothly. .
As noon approached, Shuhua arrived in Wanghai County smoothly.
After paying the fare, she entered the city gate, and the familiar streets extended all the way to Gu's house.
The door of the Gu family was closed tightly. The neighbors, across the street, and wherever there were idle people were all pointing at the Gu family.
Shuhua pulled down the curtain on her head to cover her face, and patted the iron ring on the door.
"Which one?"
"It's me, cousin."
Soon the courtyard door opened a crack from the inside, and the old servant of the family poked his head out , seeing that the person standing outside the door was indeed Shuhua, the old servant quickly stepped aside to let Shuhua in, and quickly closed the courtyard door, holding a wooden pillar against the back.
"Old Uncle Gen, what are you doing? What are you guarding against?" Shuhua asked in surprise upon seeing this.
Because the person sent by the family to Qing'an County reported that someone was causing trouble in the family's shop, the uncle was summoned by the official for questioning. He wanted Gu Zhihua to go back and ask the county magistrate about the situation. After all, he was the governor of the county.
“Miss Cousin, you don’t know something. Ever since our shop was targeted, the family has not been at peace these days. There are always troublemakers coming to the door to make trouble.” Old Uncle Gen frowned and opened his mouth. Bitter water.
"Are my aunt and uncle at home?" Shuhua asked again.
"Yes, everyone is here..."
Hearing that the county magistrate let her uncle come back, Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking nonsense to the hunchbacked old man guarding the door. She turned around quickly Went to the backyard.
...
In the backyard, the maid and Xin'er were playing ball in the yard.
"Xin'er!"
"Mother!"
Mother and son hugged each other, Shuhua touched her son's head and kissed him hard several times.
"Where's your aunt?" she asked.
"It's grandma." Xin'er's childish voice corrected her seriously.
“Huh?” Shuhua was stunned for a moment.
On the side, the maid said to Shuhua: "Miss Cousin, before you come back, the young master has already told the master and his wife about the young master's life experience."
