On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 457: Silk Drawing 2
But after Xiao Xiao gave birth to a daughter, her sleep became light, and she became particularly sensitive to the baby's crying.

When she heard her daughter's groaning, she woke up: "This little ancestor has to eat at least ten times a day. When I am out of confinement, if I go out, I will let the wet nurse feed her."

Otherwise I can’t go out.

Even if I feed my daughter myself now, I asked the wet nurse to bring in her two-month-old daughter to feed her. I don’t know if her food rations will be enough for two children in the future.

When the time comes, let her eat more pig's trotters, fish soup, etc., and see how it goes first.

After Xiao Xiao fed her daughter, the little girl opened her big eyes in Yan's mother's arms, as if she could see Xiao Xiao, and burped her milk.

The little girl is fair, tender and chubby, with light eyebrows, a small mouth and a tiny nose. Xiao Xiao, who has the filter of an old mother, thinks her daughter is the prettiest and cutest, and will not accept any rebuttal.

Even the double chin is cute.

No, it should be that he is so fat that his chin cannot be seen.

She reached out and gently pushed her daughter's chin, which was as thick as pork belly, to reveal that it was covered with white pearl powder. "Let someone buy some more pearl powder later."

The little girl was too fat, and her neck was covered with layers of tender skin and flesh. Even though it was winter, she was wrapped in thick swaddling clothes, so there was too much flesh on her neck, which was a little broken and ulcerated.

Xiao Xiao even fined the wet nurse and the maid half a month's pay for this.

The main purpose is to make them remember that they should not rely on their own generosity and not pay enough attention.

In fact, she also knew that Menghui and the wet nurse cared a lot about their daughter, but they lacked experience and her neck was too fragile, so they didn't dare to touch it often.

I didn't expect the little girl to be so fat.

Mother Yan responded, “Yes.”

She then held the child and coaxed him skillfully, and soon coaxed the child to sleep. After handing the child over to the wet nurse, she whispered, "This old slave has brought back six little girls. When the grandma is free, let's meet them?"

"Okay," Xiao Xiao nodded, "Let them all come in."

Mother Yan personally led the maids in.

Xiao Xiao first glanced at the maids. She still remembered two of them. They were no longer sallow and skinny. They looked taller, whiter, and rounder.

This is not only the result of staying indoors for a winter, but also the fact that the baby has been well fed and clothed, which means that the baby has recovered a little.

Xiao Xiao sighed in her heart. She had secretly complained about this before. Others who traveled to other worlds were either princesses or ladies, but she was a child from a poor family.

Now when I see them, I feel very fortunate. Although the Xiao family is not rich, they can at least have enough food and warm clothing.

What's rare is that my father doesn't favor boys over girls. No, he only cares about my mother.

Liu was also good to her daughters, and she remembered that her childhood was quite happy.

If I opened my eyes and found myself in a charity hall, wouldn’t that be as bitter as coptis chinensis?
She asked them gently whether they had enough food and clothes, and whether they lacked anything.

People nowadays actually mature early.

But most of them are afraid of being beaten and scolded, and are also accused of being freeloaders, so they dare not speak out even if they have grievances.

After Xiao Xiao took over the charity, she said that it was a charity sponsored by the emperor and the empress, and the other ladies took pity on their difficult lives and generously donated money to support them.

It was not what they initially thought, that they were supported by the Gu family.

So when Xiao Xiao asked if she had any impression of the sisters who left last year, a girl spoke up carefully: "Grandma, at the end of August last year, sister Dahua turned twelve. Before she left the charity center according to the regulations, she told me that she would definitely come back to see me." "Sister Dahua told me that her good sister also promised to come back to see her before she left, but there has been no news since then."

"Sister Dahua is scared. She's afraid she's been sold to a faraway place."

"But Sister Dahua has never come back..."

Seeing that she was crying at the end, Xiao Xiao comforted her softly: "Don't cry, I will find a way to find them."

If she was really taken to a brothel, she would have to wait until she was fifteen years old before she could receive customers. Now she is probably being trained as a prostitute.

Then he said to them, "Someone will dress you up as men and take you to find someone. Look carefully to see if there are any sisters you know among them."

All six of them responded in unison, as if they were ready to brave mountains of swords and seas of fire.

There is no need to buy clothes for little boys. Li Yan spent more time in the mansion when he was young. Later, he grew up quickly and could no longer wear clothes, so Aunt Mo put them away. Now he can still wear them.

Xiao Xiao started talking, and Yan's mother and the others took action. They first wrapped several circles of cloth stuffed with thin cotton around their waists to make their waists look thicker. Then they put on thick-soled shoes to make them look taller.

Then draw the eyebrows thicker, apply some black ink on the corners of the mouth, and then wipe it off, and it will look like a teenager who is about to grow a beard.

If he tinkers with his hairstyle and adds some purses and sachets, he will look like a young man of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Xiao Xiao was very satisfied after seeing it: "Not bad, try to keep your mouth shut, someone will take you out later."

Seeing that they were very reserved in front of him, he asked Yan's mother to take them downstairs: "Let them eat and drink their fill first, then find a place to rest. When it gets dark, go to the front yard to find Liu Da."

Mother Yan asked them to follow her to the small kitchen.

After a small kitchen was built in Sangyuyuan, the utility room next to it was cleaned up, and two square tables could be placed inside, so everyone ate inside.

The cook took out the chicken from the chicken soup, added some chili and fried it. It became fragrant and spicy, but the chicken had no nutrition and the masters would not eat it, so it was a good bargain for them.

There is also stewed radish with large bones, and you can help yourself to some brown rice.

The radish is very soft and tastes like meat. The soup is also very fragrant and it is delicious even when soaked in rice.

This is definitely better than the one in the charity hall. The cook’s cooking skills are also better. Chicken is also a rare food for them. The food is especially oily and delicious.

A little girl couldn't help but say: "The mansion is so nice, and the eldest grandmother is also very nice. It would be great if we could all stay here in the future."

"Yes, we have to do our job well."

When Yan's mother outside the door heard this, she paused and went to the kitchen next door to eat. After eating, she came back to teach them how to speak and walk like men.

Finally, I told them where they were going and who they were looking for.

The girls' faces turned white instantly...

Liu Da was someone who often followed Li Yan, and he would never go into a brothel, so he could only act as a coachman and pick them up outside.

Fortunately, it was still very cold in the first month of the year. It was dark, so I put on more clothes and a hat, and I wouldn't be noticeable if I huddled beside the carriage.

Of course, these six little girls dressed as men were brought in one after another, just like young masters from ordinary families with some spare money, who went in to broaden their horizons, and even the pimp did not suspect anything.

He just felt regretful, since they brought the young master out to broaden his horizons, they would definitely not have any other expenses. When they heard that they only ordered a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, melon seeds, mung bean cakes and orchid beans, and there was not much money to be made, the old man was too lazy to stare at them anymore.
