Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 108 The Little Mute

The mansion was almost full, and sixteen families came suddenly. The manager also felt embarrassed, but the guard made it clear that these people were related to Mr. Qin, so he couldn't be negligent, and immediately ordered someone to vacate the house.

The steward said, "What else is missing? Just tell me?"

Mrs. Yang said: "We encountered bandits twice on the road, and many people lost their burdens, bedding and everything."

The steward responded: "Our place...the new bedding is gone, but there are some old ones...even though they are old, they are all clean."

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "Then please bring us some."

Before Mrs. Yang could say anything about the rest, the steward said: "I cooked some meals in the stove, but it was mixed with a lot of coarse grains. These are the things in the shop, but if you don't want to eat, you can take your own things to the stove." Cook in the room."

Not to mention mixed with coarse grains, even if mixed with chaff, they would not be happy, this is enough.Tian and the others pondered in their hearts, but kept their mouths tightly shut, and they had to listen to Mrs. Yang in everything.

"Is there anything else?" Mrs. Yang said, "There are too many old and young women and children along the way, and many people can hardly hold on."

"Yes," the steward nodded, "I still have some meat, not much, but I can cook some soup... children..."

The steward was cruel: "Each person cooks an egg." Anyway, there are enough relief items, and these days the shop also collects a lot of money, which is small money.

Tian and the others are delighted to hear, is there such a good thing?Can I add eggs with broth?Just thinking about it will make you grin your mouth, no matter how many people can eat it, it is beyond their dreams.

When the relocation order came down, the people in the government office said that there would be relief on the way.However, after walking for so many days, which day does one not need money for meals?This is really eating the food provided by the government office.

The children who heard a few words were all overjoyed. They raised their dirty little faces and looked into the kitchen, their eyes were a little red because they stared for too long.

If the adults hadn't come to drive them away, they didn't know how long they would have to guard.

The mansion was suddenly so lively that everyone hiding in the house opened the door to see what was going on.Seeing that it was a farmer in rough clothes, everyone frowned, not knowing how this group of people could come to the mansion.

When they heard that the house was going to be vacated, they all frowned even more.

Zhao Luoyang walked up to Old Madam Yang and said, "Grandma, please talk to the steward a little bit more to make everyone more lively. I'll also take this opportunity to see who lives in the mansion."

What if the young owner's alias Sui Ji hides here?Save her looking everywhere.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Luoyang searched all the shops in the residence, but there was no one like the "Fuji" young owner that Zhao Jingyan said.

"No," Zhao Luoyang told Mr. Song, "at least not in the mansion." She carefully judged her own vision and trusted Shi Jiu even more. If the young master was here, she and Shi Jiu couldn't escape their eyes.

Grandpa Song nodded: "It is expected that they are not there. This mansion is full of relocated people. If other people are mixed in, it is still easy to be recognized."

Zhao Luoyang said: "Looking at it now, it is most likely that they are among the merchants. They are merchants in the first place, and they are familiar with those, so they will not be wrong when they are interrogated."

Mr. Song didn't ask how Xiaohu Zhao tricked this mansion into this mansion. Anyway, he lived there and took a bite of food. Even if Mr. Qin couldn't be trusted later, he would be kicked out of the mansion.

After all, now that there is a place to stay, all sixteen families are happy, even if it's just for one night.

Everyone was packing their luggage, and the guard who left just now came back and said, "Master Qin can return to Minzhou tomorrow, and I will guide you there at the beginning of tomorrow's time."

Zhao Luoyang thanked the guard, Mr. Song nodded slightly with a straight face, quite like an old gentleman.

Zhao Xueli took two brothers to help everyone settle down.

The food in the kitchen was cooked, and few people came to serve it, but it was cheaper for sixteen households, and the children were sweating profusely.

One by one, they ate what was in the bowl and looked at what was in the pot.

There are a total of three large pots, full of rice and coarse grains, the gluttonous people can swallow their tongues.

There was no place to eat together, so everyone squatted and stood around the yard.

"Eat less." The adults began to stop the children.

I haven't had enough food for a long time, and suddenly I'm going to have an accident.

"Let's eat tomorrow," Mrs. Yang also said to her three grandchildren. "There is also a pot of eggs boiled in the kitchen, and each doll has them. You will help share them later, and no one is allowed to take more."

Zhao Yuanrang agreed.

Granny Yang held the bowl and said to Mrs. Tian and Widow Xie, "It's not easy for the baby to come here with us."

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Taozhou, he finally made it through.

Think about it, everyone's eyes are a little red. Only when we have a place to stay can we take care of the elderly and children.

After dinner, Mrs. Yang told the women: "Boil some water, and clean the wounds on the children's feet first. Some of them are rotten. Master Song brought some medicine for the children. .”

Now everyone is very grateful to Grandpa Song. On the way, Grandpa Song took out a lot of medicinal materials to treat everyone's symptoms. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would be left on the road.

Water was burning in the kitchen, and the rest of the people packed up their things. The sixteen households divided their rooms and rested. The men gathered firewood and moved things, and the women took the quilts and put them on the bed.

The baby stood by the side, waiting for the luggage on the kang to be packed, and lay down impatiently.

Zhao Yuanji lay on the kang and turned over a few times, with a smile on his dark and thin face: "It would be great if we could get a room like this when we get to Taozhou."

Dow stretched out his hand and tapped Zhao Yuanji's nose: "It's a beautiful idea."

When we arrived in Taozhou, after naturalization, we had to arrange everything by ourselves. Even if the government office gave us a house, it would definitely leak from rain and wind. Right now, the solar term is not bad, and we can just get the roof repaired, and everyone has no expectations. There is something similar. The place will do.

Zhao Luoyang pulled Old Madam Yang and Luo Zhenniang, and asked them to sit down and rest: "In a while, my father and uncle and I will go outside to look for the location of the government office, and then go to Dongshi to inquire about the news."

Zhao Yuanrang said: "Take me too, I'm not easy for people to find out."

Luo Zhenniang intentionally stopped Zhao Luoyang, and glanced at Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Yang didn't speak, and she didn't say anything. After these days, Sister Luo has become a living monkey. It's okay to let her idle It is possible, and it seems that the things to be done in the future cannot be separated from Sister Luo.

Zhao Xueli nodded after thinking for a moment: "Okay, it's more convenient for the children to go to Dongshi to inquire about the news."

Zhao Luoyang looked at Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji: "You guys go with me, including my father and third uncle, exactly five people. Let's wash up and change clothes before going out, so as not to be misunderstood as refugees."

When several people were tidying up, Tian and others came to ask if they needed help. Everyone was thinking about Mr. Zhao's affairs. It was a blessing for them to enjoy it, and the burden could not be placed on the old lady Yang's family.

When they heard that they were told to go out first to inquire about the news, several people left.

When Zhao Luoyang changed his clothes, he found a secluded place and felt relieved after seeing that there were no bronze mirrors around.Even though Shi Jiu is a system, he can't let him see it...

Shi Jiu also knew what Zhao Luoyang was doing, so he kept silent, as if avoiding it.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Luoyang said to Shi Jiu: "I still have to exchange some medicinal materials to take with me. I have an excuse when I meet someone."

Shi Jiu said, "Do you know how to find that Sui Ji?"

"A woman disguised as a man." Zhao Luoyang touched his neck, "The neck is the most reliable place, right? Unless she is pretending to be a young man under the age of sixteen or seventeen."

Shi Jiu responded, "Who taught you?"

Zhao Luoyang didn't want to hide it: "Little dumb."

Another little dumb.

Shi Jiu had the heart to explore, and asked, "Who is that?"

"When I was five or six years old, the people who lived in the village looked a year or two older than me and couldn't speak." Zhao Luoyang thought of something, "Do you think there is a cure for dumbness in the system?"

Shi Jiu said: "I don't know, but not all mute diseases can be cured."

Zhao Luoyang continued: "She said him, but she just didn't want to talk. The little mute is very nice. We used to be together often for more than a year, and she didn't talk to anyone, but she was willing to walk around with me."

It may be that when Zhao Luoyang mentioned the "little mute", he was too intimate, Shi Jiu subconsciously said: "The little mute is a man?"

"No," Zhao Luoyang said, "a girl doll like me."

Shi Jiu didn't expect this, Shi Jiu said: "A six or seven-year-old girl? How does she know this?"

"I heard it," Zhao Luoyang said, "she traveled around with her grandmother, suffered a lot, and learned a lot. The little mute looks bad-tempered, but he is actually a very nice person, and he always leaves food for me. , but my heart is also small, I often give her food, once I met a child from the same village, and she got angry when I shared half of the cake. "

"But soon the anger dissipated, and they came to look for me again."

After Zhao Luoyang said this, he was a little disappointed: "It's a pity that she never came back after leaving with her grandmother, and we moved away after that. Now I want to look for it, but I can't find anyone. I don't know if she has spoken now?"

Hearing Zhao Luoyang talking about someone so much, Shi Jiu felt a little sour for some reason.

"Let's go," Shi Jiu said, "It's getting late, I don't know what's going on in the city, I have to go back early."

Zhao Luoyang tidied up his clothes and went out, Zhao Xueli and the others were already standing in the yard waiting, and each of the five members of the family took a wooden sign and walked out.

"The wooden sign is ready." Zhao Luoyang told the two younger brothers, the three of us should not separate, and if someone checks the wooden sign on the road, you should not take it out yet.

No one knows whether half-sized people like Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji need wooden cards, and they are also safe to wear. I will go down today to find out the news, and I will make other arrangements later when I have a clear understanding of the situation.

A few people went out and walked directly to Dongshi. Sure enough, they were interrogated by someone on the way. After they took out the wooden sign, the guards didn't ask any more questions.

This wooden sign is even easier to use than Zhao Luoyang thought.

When he arrived in Dongshi, looking at the crowds coming and going, Zhao Luoyang said to Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing, "Father, third uncle, see if you can find some work here. There are so many merchants, so you should need to carry goods."

Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing nodded.

Zhao Luoyang continued: "Before dark, no matter how much information we hear, we will come here to meet and then go back together."

Zhao Xueli said: "What about you?"

"Let's go buy some things," Zhao Luoyang said, "see if we can sell them to restaurants."
