Chapter 381, Departure into the capital (1 more

Mrs. Qin nodded.

Ask Zhu Xiao to go back and discuss with the minibus.

She believed that the minibus wanted to go to the capital, and the minds of boys and girls were different.

And Mrs. Qin thinks that Ah Xiao may like her cousin Xiaoba.

After Zhu Xiao left, he immediately sent someone to call the minibus over.

It’s no wonder that she is so cautious, it’s because she can’t eat the food made by the cooks, but she thinks the food cooked by Ah Xiao is very good, and her body becomes stronger when she sees it. There are meals made by her along the way, so she can eat some It is also good for the body.

After all, the minibus had a sweet mouth, and a few words coaxed Mrs. Qin into a happy smile.

Mrs. Qin asked about Qin Sheng's situation in the past few days, and after some ramblings, she talked about going to the capital.

Mrs. Qin promised Xiaoba that if she could coax Ah Xiao to go to the capital together, she would also give 500 taels of silver. When Xiaoba heard 500 taels of silver, she was a little surprised.

Mrs. Qin asked the servant girl to come out with the bank note.

"..."

Looking at the banknote, the minibus followed Qin Sheng. He could recognize the few words he had learned in the past few days, and the big ones.

500 taels...

silver!

It’s not that he said, after living for 18 years, he has never seen such a large bank note, and the silver he has ever passed from him has never exceeded 50 taels. Yes, I still put it on my body now, not because I want to steal it, but because I want to keep it for a few days.

But 500 taels...

Zhu Xiao himself was going to the capital, so he took the 500 taels of silver, was it too much?
The little bus thought for a while, "Old madam, my little one and my cousin will not sell themselves into slavery, my cousin..."

"I know, she said, she wants to open a restaurant or sell pastries, but you also know that the capital is a prosperous place, and you will earn more if you go to the capital to open a shop. I also know your situation, you My sister is gone, my mother is gone, and your father remarries and has other children. It doesn’t matter to him whether you have you or not. You took the 500 taels and went to persuade Ah Xiao to follow her to the capital. If you still want to come back to Chengpu County at that time, I will send someone to take you back!" Mrs. Qin said seriously.

Now she has something to ask for, but she doesn't use power to force her.

Xiaoba looked at Mrs. Qin, then at the bank note in front of him, and swallowed.

The whole body is shaking.

"me……"

"500 taels is a lot!" Mrs. Qin said softly.

She won't give any more.

Here is 500 taels, and there is another 500 taels, that is, 1000 taels, and you don’t have to sell your body. When you arrive in the capital, you will be free.

"I, I'm going to discuss it with my cousin!" the minibus said, then turned and walked outside.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and came back, took the bank note and went out.

500 taels, 500 taels...

When the minibus found Zhu Xiao in the backyard, Zhu Xiao was watching Axiu doing her needlework.

Her needlework is really bad, but Axiu is good at it, she looks good when she looks at it, and she will definitely be able to embroider beautiful flowers in a few years.

"Ah Xiao, come here, I have something to tell you!" Xiaoba shouted from the side.

Zhu Xiao looked at him, pursed her lips and followed him.

Walk to the back kitchen patio with him, "What's the matter?"

The minibus swallowed, "Are you going to the capital? The old lady said..."

The minibus held the bank note tightly.

"What about you?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

"Where's your sister, are you still looking for it?" Zhu Xiao asked again.

"I..." Xiaoba took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and leaned his back against the wall, "I've been looking for ten years, ten years..."

Swallowing his saliva, his eyes turned red immediately, "Go to the capital, I want to make money, you don't want to open a shop, you open a shop, I will be the shopkeeper for you, run errands for you, and when I make money, I will come back to find my sister !"

"Okay!" Zhu Xiao said softly.

The minibus looked at Zhu Xiao when he heard the words.

Her face has subsided a little. It's not as scary as before, but it's still a little swollen. It doesn't look scary, but it doesn't look good either.

Zhu Xiao agreed to go to the capital, and Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin were relieved. There were not many things to prepare, and Zhu Xiao had even less.

Because of this, Axiu couldn't go to the capital with her, nor could she stay in Qin's house, she had to go to other people's house.

Xiaoba gave Zhu Xiao ten taels of silver, and Zhu Xiao gave half of it to Axiu.

"..."

Axiu shook her head slightly while holding the silver.

She was reluctant for Zhu Xiao to leave, she went to someone else's house, and could still work, thanks to Zhu Xiao's blessing, the young master she went to was friends with the ninth young master, so she still worked in the kitchen when she went.

"Your father needs money, this is what we agreed, half of each person!"

Since it was agreed that one person would get half, Zhu Xiao kept five taels, and five taels to Axiu.

"Ah Xiao, I actually want to go to the capital with you and help you for the rest of my life, but I don't want to part with my parents. I don't know if my father's legs will be good. If I go to the capital, I'm afraid I will make money in the future. Trust me It will be troublesome to bring people back..." Axiu said, hugging Zhu Xiao and crying.

Zhu Xiao looked at Axiu.

How could she take Axiu to the capital?

Going this way, the future is uncertain, life and death are unknown, Axiu is a good and filial girl, she should be by her parents' side.

"Axiu, can I go to your house once?"

"Are you going to my house?"

"Well, go have a look!"

Axiu thought about it and agreed.

She also wants to leave the Qin family to go home and stay at home for two days.

To go to Axiu's house, Third Madam Qin asked the servants in the mansion to set up a carriage and gave Zhu Xiao half a day to send Axiu back when she came back from Axiu's house.

Axiu packed her things early, thinking that Zhu Xiao was going to the capital, and she said that a poor family is rich, so she thought about it and divided the five liang of silver into two parts, one part was three liang, and put it in a purse secretly stuffed in Zhu Xiao's baggage, she thought Zhu Xiao would definitely understand what she meant.

These days, she has earned a year's wages, and when she goes back, she will agree to her doing so.

Zhu Xiao watched Axiu staring at her baggage from the window, and also saw her hesitation and reluctance. At the end of the day, Zhu Xiao quietly turned and walked away, holding the 500 taels of silver note that Mrs. Qin gave her. .

When she went to the capital, she naturally wanted to open a shop, and she needed money to open a shop, and she couldn't give it to Axiu if it was too much.

But he put all the fragmentary five taels of silver into his purse.

When thinking about going to Axiu, she quietly put it under Axiu's pillow.

When she is safe in the future, send someone to bring a dowry to Axiu.

Axiu's family is actually quite wealthy, with several tile-roofed houses, and her older sisters all help out in big families. Three younger siblings are at home and are not idle. Although Axiu's father can't walk, he is still very cheerful. She didn't stop beating and beating, Axiuniang kept the house very clean, and when Zhu Xiao went, she cooked poached eggs and put a lot of sugar, it was really sweet.

Axiu's grandparents are also very kind. Knowing that Axiu has made money because of Zhu Xiao, and knowing that Zhu Xiao is going to the capital, she immediately went to pick a few grapefruits for Zhu Xiao to take with her on the way to eat, as well as her own sun pomelo. I bought several packages of dried sweet potatoes, big and small, for Zhu Xiaobao.

Zhu Xiaoshen said that she wanted to see Axiu's room.

A Xiu smiled and took Zhu Xiao to go.

"We sisters all sleep in the same room, and I sleep here!"

Axiu pointed to a location.

"Axiu, don't you make a kang?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"Now?" Axiu was puzzled.

"Well, I want to see what your bedding looks like!"

"..." Axiu couldn't help laughing, "It's a pity that my bedding is too old and not good, otherwise I will give you a bed!"

Take out your bedding and pillows and show Zhu Xiao.

The blue quilt and pillow, but a few small flowers embroidered on the pillow are very interesting.

Zhu Xiao stretched out her hand and wiped it lightly, "Axiu, when you get better at embroidery in the future, help me make a backside, just embroider small flowers like this, it's so beautiful!"

Without a trace, he put the purse under the pillow.

Axiu nodded with a smile, but her eyes were a little red, "Then I must study hard. You must do well in the capital. You have a stutter, speak slowly, and you can improve it later. You have to be more careful, Gao Men There are many villains in the mansion, you have to be more careful, don't be harmed by others!"

As Xiu said, she turned her head and wiped away her tears indiscriminately.

Zhu Xiao got up, hugged her to comfort her gently, and asked her to send him off.

Axiu sent Zhu Xiao to the entrance of the village, "A Xiao, listen to me and be well!"

"Axiu, I will, you too, be good, I'll wait for your back, I will definitely send someone to pick it up, you remember!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, hugged Axiu, and got into the carriage.

Axiu stood where she was, watching the carriage leave.

Then she let out a heavy breath, if her father is well, she might follow Zhu Xiao to the capital.

A is too narrow-minded and too kind to people, and he will suffer in the future.

Sitting on the carriage, Zhu Xiao let out a soft breath.

This was her first friend after coming to this other world.

They didn't get along for a long time, but they had a different kind of friendship.

Axiu is younger than her, but she cares about her everywhere.

Give her the steamed buns she asked for, the porridge she scooped up, the medicine she wanted, the purse she made, and the money that was secretly placed in her bag.

"call!"

Zhu Xiao exhaled lightly.

Opening the curtain of the carriage, looking back, Axiu was still standing at the entrance of the village, seeming to be crying, wiping her tears and waving her hands non-stop.

This short friendship is so precious.

Zhu Xiao put down the curtain, even though he was reluctant to give up, now he could only put it down.

Live well, and one day in the future, they will have time to meet again.

Back at Qin's house, it was already evening, and Zhu Xiao still had to cook dinner for Mrs. Qin. Fortunately, she always focused on light and simple dishes, and she could cook something quickly.

After taking the first bite, Mrs. Qin frowned slightly, "Mother?" Third Mrs. Qin called out in a low voice.

"It's a bit salty. This girl is not in a good mood today. I think she is reluctant to part with Axiu, and also reluctant to leave Chengpu County and go to the capital!" Mrs. Qin continued to eat as she said.

The food Zhu Xiao cooks is bland, and this is the first time that it is a little salty, but it can still be eaten.

Since she has to leave early tomorrow morning, Zhu Xiao also has to go to bed early, her luggage has been packed, and her things are pitifully small.

I was used to being hugged by Xun Muyang to sleep, but then I got angry and came here alone, and then I got used to having Axiu by my side, and when I woke up in the morning, Axiu would bring her a cup of hot water and go to fight for her breakfast.

"Huh!" Zhu Xiao exhaled lightly, holding the three taels of silver left by Axiu, and sighed heavily.

But in the countryside, Axiu was holding Zhu Xiao's purse and crying with snot and tears, hesitating in her heart, but she seemed to have made a decision in an instant, she wanted to accompany A Xiao to the capital.

Axiu's parents were terrified.

"Father, mother, I am worried about Ah Xiao, she is too kind, I am afraid that she will be bullied and harmed by others!" Axiu said softly.

"But you are going to the capital, not to other places, do you understand?" Axiuniang persuaded.

Axiu's father sat aside, looking at his daughter.

His daughters are all sensible, Axiu has a sweet mouth since she was a child, she is smart, lively, thoughtful, but kind.

"My mother, since Axiu is going, then go, but one thing, Axiu, you go, you have to protect the person you want to protect, and protect yourself. Parents don't ask you to be rich, they just want you to be rich." I beg you to come back alive and come back safely!" After Axiu's father finished speaking, he asked his brothers to prepare torches, and asked the two brothers to send Axiu to Chengpu County overnight. If it was late, it would be useless to miss it with the Qin family. .

Axiu left the money at home, and only prepared two jackets, took the padded shoes her mother made, prepared a simple package, and followed her two uncles on the road.

Going this way, the future is uncertain, life and death are unknown, but she does not regret it, on the contrary, she is still a little inexplicably excited.

That was the first person besides the sisters who was willing to share her money. She will definitely protect A Xiao in the future and prevent others from harming her.

Ah Xiao knows how to cook, so she helps sell things and work, and she doesn't need too much wages. She can ask someone to send some home to her parents a year, which is enough for her parents to live on. become.

The Qin family was going to enter the capital, so they got busy early in the morning. They had to set off after breakfast. There were more than a dozen carriages and dozens of guards. Zhu Xiao's face seemed to be swollen again. , It is this conspicuousness that makes people not want to take a second look at one glance.

She has a low brow and is pleasing to the eye, and she seems to be a little cautious when walking. She is not at all like the future Princess Yi who is spoiled by His Royal Highness Yi Wang so much that she can't wait to confess. She is just a little country cook who has never seen the world, cautious and nervous...
