Farming with medicine

Chapter 19 Homecoming
"Hmph, Madam, I'm really sorry for your troubles. Tell her, let her take care of her man and don't come into my room before there's more trouble." Cao Shuzhu held his breath in his throat, unable to vomit or swallow, Cao Shuzhu Bai Lan was even worse.

"No, I have to go back and have a look. Your brother-in-law's drunkard may have gone to where he died of drunkenness. If I don't go back, he hasn't been eaten by the cardamom, who has become a fine girl?"

The eldest lady rewarded the palanquin and drove Dou Kou's family back to the village. The little maid also received a contract of sale at the back door and regained her freedom.

Cardamom and Niang sat in the sedan chair, Osmanthus fragrans held the sedan chair from time to time and smiled awkwardly, "It's the first time Niang has made this kind of sedan chair, no wonder she's so energetic."

Qi Tengmiao followed slowly on horseback, and said to the position of the car curtain, "That little maid is still following behind and refuses to leave."

Cardamom picked up the sedan chair curtain with one hand and stretched out her head to look out. The maid who was a few years older than her trotted after their sedan chair and refused to leave. Her small face was covered with sweat, and her hair was sticky to her face. On the road, she raised her hands from time to time to wipe off her sweat and refused to stop on her way.

Osmanthus fragrans heard the words, took a look from the other side, and immediately said distressedly, "Hey, how can this girl hurry so fast, she looks so distressed."

Cardamom lowered the car curtain and called out, "Stop the car."

The sedan chair slowly landed, and the bearer lowered the sedan chair to make it easier for Cardamom to come out.

Seeing the sedan chair stop, the little maid knew it must be for her, so she was about to kneel down with a look of fear, and Dougao hurriedly supported her body, "You are free now, you can go wherever you want, just follow me as a country girl What are you doing in the country?"

Cardamom looked down at the clothes on her body, they were Qi Tengmiao's that she borrowed from the mountain that day, washed and worn again, because no one else looked at her, she was not the owner of a wealthy family.

"Miss bought a servant girl, and this servant girl will belong to Miss from now on. I beg Miss to let this servant girl serve you personally," the little maid cried as she spoke, as if remembering something sad.

Cardamom sighed, "I'm also a child of a poor family. I don't need someone to take care of me. It's better to go to the county town to find another job than to follow me back to the countryside." She took two ingots of silver from the sedan chair and gave them to the little maid. , "Take it, go make a living for yourself, and don't enter that cannibalistic county government."

The servant girl held the money in her hand and cried even more sadly, "I have no one to rely on, I have been bought and sold since I was a child, I beg the young lady to take in the servant girl, the servant girl can do everything, cook, wash and take care of the children, servant girl."

Cardamom raised her hand to stop her, "Can you take care of the children?" She looked up and down this little maid, she can do so many things at the age of ten years old, it seems that the children from poor families are already in charge of the family.

She turned and walked towards the sedan chair, the little maid cried even more sadly.

Cardamom said without looking back, "Get on the horse, and walk back, how can you still work."

After speaking, the servant girl smiled through tears, wiped the tears and snot from her face with her sleeve, and nodded sharply, "Your maidservant is not tired."

Qi Tengmiao got off the horse and snatched the cardamom out of the sedan chair, put her on the horse's back, pinched the horse's belly with her legs, and roared away.

Cardamom was tightly held by Qi Tengmiao in his arms. Every time the horse ran, her back bumped into Qi Tengmiao's hard chest. ? Stop, "I'm yours, this horse is ours."

The implication?Others can't sit?

She really didn't know how to adjust this piece of wood, "You are you, I am me, you are not mine, and I am not yours, understand?"

"I don't understand," Qi Tengmiao rode slowly on the mountain road and waited for the sedan chair behind. The petite person in his arms was nestled in his arms, reaching only to his chin. He raised his hand and rubbed the top of Nutmeg's head. , "You want to grow long hair in the future, you know?"

Cardamom felt that he couldn't communicate normally with him. He touched the top of her head, and she stubbornly shook his hand away, refusing to speak to express her depression at the moment, but Qi Tengmiao, who was hugging her, was caught by her. It's more depressed.

Jiao Lun slowly catches up with them, and Osmanthus spends all the time talking to the maid, as close as her own children.

The sedan chair crossed the dirt road in the mountains, bypassed a sea of ​​flowers and finally arrived at the village.

As soon as she entered the village, she saw a person sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village waving towards her. Dou Kou took a closer look and saw that it was her father. Chunjuan couldn't get around Anping who had to go up the mountain, so she told Anping to go shopping in the town early in the morning.

Qi Tengmiao lifted Dou Kou off the horse, and her small body galloped towards her father.

"Where's your mother?" Anping clutched his chest and looked behind Cardamom, but didn't see the sweet-scented osmanthus, frowning like a mountain.

Cardamom casually pointed at the sedan chair behind, grabbed her father's hand and listened to the pulse. It was steady, not too strong but much better than before. She touched her hands back and forth three or four times before letting out a long sigh of relief. He said, "Father, why did you get off the kang, you can't make such a fuss, come home with me quickly."

The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the village, and Osmanthus insisted not to let the bearers carry them into the village, it was too ostentatious.

The little maid was carrying a bamboo basket of cardamom, and Osmanthus saw that it was sinking, so she helped her drag it behind, and the group entered the village.

Returning to the familiar thatched house, Osmanthus fragrans fell to the ground with a heart. Chunjuan came out of the house with the child in her arms. Seeing that the whole family was full of arms and legs, she called them to come in quickly, "It just so happened Let's eat, come quickly."

Osmanthus took the child from Chunjuan's arms and entered the house with gratitude. Anping hadn't shown a smile for a long time. Seeing that the whole family was safe, she followed in with confidence.

Cardamom took the maidservant's hand and asked, "You don't think my family is poor, you have seen this place, if you want to leave or stay, it's up to you."

The little servant girl nodded and said, "Stay, the servant girl will stay and serve the young lady."

"If you want to stay, don't call me Miss. People in our village are of different ranks. It's different from you in the county government. From now on, I'll call you sister, and you call me cardamom. How about it?"

"This, this," the little servant girl seemed troubled, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the servant girl was bought by you."

Knowing that it didn't make sense to her, Cardamom changed the way and asked her name. Knowing that her name was given according to the month when she entered the mansion, she gave her a new name, "You will be called Lonicera from now on. "Although it is another name for honeysuckle, this name has another meaning. Only after enduring the cold winter can we see the blooming spring flowers.

"Well, thank you for the name, miss," Liandong was joyful, it was no longer better than being called a number, and for the first time she felt that she could live like a human being.

"Call me cardamom."

"Cardamom," Lonicera said timidly, her voice was as low as that of a mosquito, as if she was afraid of scaring anyone.

After setting up Lonicera to help her mother take care of the baby, she went to find Qi Tengmiao and took her to the county seat after dark.
