The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 74

Xie Yujiao was thinking about the Qinglong Village, and she didn't sleep well all night. When she woke up in the morning, she felt a slight headache. Just as she was fully dressed, she heard the servant girl come over and say that Shen Shihu had come.

Xie Yujiao didn't bother to go to Xu's side to pay her respects, she just went to the study in the outer courtyard first, and saw that Shen Shihu's chin had grown black stubble, obviously he hadn't slept all night.

"Miss, last night I went to the village near Qinglong mountain to inquire about news. Although there are hundreds of people in Qinglong village, because they are refugees, many of them are old, weak, women and children. Counting only the strong men, there are only about three A dozen or so people, if we bring more people over there, we can still fight with them!"

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she just shook her head and said: "The people in the village are all peasants who cultivate the land. After all, you can't fight hard with them. Make up your numbers. It's okay to scare people. You can bring your security team to the front in a while. Let the villagers follow behind and don't need to rush up, we have a large number of people, so we don't need to be afraid of them."

After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she only sighed lightly, rubbed the space between her swollen brows, and continued: "I've already prepared the money, it's in that box."

Shen Shihu followed Xie Yujiao's line of sight, and sure enough, he saw a camphorwood box with a width of half a meter on the side, the lid was slightly closed, and it was not locked.Shen Shihu walked over, opened the lid and took a look, and saw a box of silver ingots neatly placed on top.

Shen Shihu was startled, and was about to speak, but Xie Yujiao said first: "Even Big Brother Shen was tricked, it seems that my box is not bad."

Shen Shihu hurriedly took a closer look, only to find that there was no ingots underneath except for the upper layer of ingots, but a layer of silver paper on the partition, so it looked golden.

"Put a few stones below, and they are not light. They should be able to hide it. When the time comes, as soon as someone gets it, let the brothers go up and block it for a while, and we will withdraw first."

Shen Shihu heard Xie Yujiao's plan, although it was dangerous, he couldn't think of a better way, so he said: "In this case, let the little one bring the money, the girl waits for the good news at the house, The little one must bring that son back."

With so many people supporting her, Xie Yujiao is not afraid, it's just that Qinglongzhai is near Jiangning County, and their Xie family's house can't live a stable life for a day. It's hard to guarantee that they will run out of money one day, so they think of other ways , come again for alms, always a scourge.

"I'll go with you, I still have a few words to give to that village master."

Shen Shihu always knew that Xie Yujiao was right, so he didn't stop her now, he just said: "It's still early, miss has some breakfast first, and when I gather everyone together, let's set off together."

Xie Yujiao came out of the study and heard the maid said that Mrs. Xu had already woken up, so she went to the main room to greet Mrs. Xu.Zhang's mother is getting old, and after yesterday's fright, she can't get up today.Mrs. Xu was wearing a homely moon white twig thong, her face was pale, and when she came out of the room, her steps were a little limp. Seeing this, Xie Yujiao hurried in and helped her to sit down, and said: "Mother, why don't you sleep a little longer, it's still early!"

Mrs. Xu just said with a frowning face: "Where can I still sleep? As soon as I opened my eyes, I thought of what happened yesterday. You and our Xie family have always accumulated good deeds, so why did you encounter such a thing!" Pressing the corners of his eyes, he heard that Xie Yujiao came from the study, and asked again: "You have discussed how to save that young master?"

Xie Yujiao knew that Mrs. Xu owed that Zhou Tianhao, and she would repay her kindness, so she wished she could take out 10 taels of silver right now to redeem that man, so she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, That son turned out to be Mrs. Kang’s cousin, and this time he came to Jiangning to bring Mrs. Kang an imperial doctor. He was still in the army a few years ago, and he only returned home because he was injured.”

As Xie Yujiao spoke, she paused for a moment and said, "Mum, do you still remember that I told you before that I lost the mirror my father gave me? There really are such coincidences in this world. I was too careless and left the mirror inside the padded coat, which was worn by that gentleman later, and I did not expect to block an arrow for him on the battlefield. I heard from his boy that he Originally, besides bringing the imperial physician to Mrs. Kang, I just wanted to thank the owner of the mirror, but now I happened to save my mother's life, so it can be seen that God helped him to repay this kindness, so mother don't have to worry about it too much."

Xie Yujiao said a lot of nagging like this, in fact, she wanted to reassure Mrs. Xu, so that she could save the man's life herself, and let Mrs. Xu not take this matter too seriously, but Mrs. Xu heard it. , suddenly a lot of other thoughts came to mind, thinking that Zhou Tianhao was such a talented person yesterday, he felt more and more distressed, and only frowned and said: "How can I not worry about it, your mirror blocked an arrow for him , that’s because he was born lucky, now he saves me, it’s because of his chivalrous heart, this is two different things, you go and exchange him with money, I have to thank him!”

Xie Yujiao saw that this trick didn't work for Xu Shi, so she just smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm going right now, but at least you let me take a breath and eat something before leaving."

Mrs. Xu came to her senses for a moment, and then smiled and said: "I was in a hurry, so I forgot, you guys go to the kitchen to pass on the food, just prepare the girl's food, I can't eat it for a while."

Only after Xie Yujiao finished her breakfast, the maid outside came in to answer, saying that Shen Nuyuan had summoned everyone and was waiting at the door, Xie Yujiao then stood up and went outside.Mrs. Xu only took two steps forward in a hurry, stopped Xie Yujiao and said, "Jiaojiao, you must not reason with those kidnappers, those people are desperadoes, they don't know the reason at all, you Just hide from a distance and let Shen Nuyuan go."

Xie Yujiao turned around and nodded, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, what they want is money, and they won't hurt anyone."

Mrs. Xu sent Xie Yujiao to the door with a worried expression on her face, clasped her hands together, and silently recited a few words about Amitabha.

Xie Yujiao walked to the door, and saw several rows of people standing in front of Xie's house, some were carrying sickles, some were carrying hoes, and some were carrying poles.Seeing Xie Yujiao coming out, everyone cheered up and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, big girl. With us here, those bandits won't be able to bully our Xie family's house. Let's take people there today and step on the Qinglongzhai." draw."

Xie Yujiao was so moved that she didn't know what to say, her eyes turned red first.She usually claims that she just acts according to her own conscience. Although she takes care of the people in Xie's house, it is not a big deal for Xie's family. She just keeps the original tradition of Mr. Xie. .

"Yujiao thanked everyone here. This world is chaotic. I also know that everyone wants to have a stable meal. It's fine that Qinglongzhai and our Xiejiazhai do not interfere with the river water. Now that something like this has happened, Naturally, I can't just stand by and watch, but there are old and young in the big guys' families, so there is no need to take risks with me, and now I can only say thank you first."

Shen Shihu was standing beside Xie Yujiao, instructing a few young men to go to the study to move out the box of "money".When everyone saw it, they just said: "Miss, even if you keep the money to feed the dogs, you can't give it to those thieves! Brother Shen took us and leveled their cottage!"

Seeing the excitement in the crowd, Xie Yujiao just said: "If you can not be rough, it's better not to be rough. That young master is my mother's savior, even if it costs some money, it's nothing."

After all, everyone is a dealer, and after hearing Xie Yujiao's words, they don't want to really use swords and guns, so there is no objection.

Xie Yujiao took Ziyan with her and got into a carriage in the middle, with two or three carriages lined up in a row.Shen Shihu personally drove Xie Yujiao's carriage, Yun Song had been asleep until now, when he heard that Xie's family had sent out to save people, he hurried out and got into Xie Yujiao's carriage.

Seeing Ziyan, she just kept saying: "You are going to die, and you don't even look at who is sitting in this car, get down quickly."

Xie Yujiao looked at Yun Song's thin and small appearance, and remembered that he saved Zhang's mother's life yesterday, and brought Zhang's mother to inform her, so she said, "Let him sit inside, it's spacious anyway."

Ziyan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yun Song, then sat down beside Xie Yujiao.

"Miss Xie, there are so many people in your village?" Yun Song opened the curtain and looked at the large troops following behind, feeling a little bit of a sigh in his heart. The palace also raised a lot of soldiers, but why didn't it feel like that? There are so many peasants!The ostentation of the prince is not as big as that of a landlord's lady...

"It's all the blind dates in the village. They used to embolden me." Xie Yujiao lowered her head, and now she has calmed down a lot. If Mrs. Xu was really arrested by those people, I am afraid that Xie Yujiao at this time can only be a hottie. Ants on the pot, "I heard you yesterday that your young master killed the enemy on the battlefield, so he should have some boxing skills, right?"

"Our young master is very good at boxing and kicking. He practiced with his master when he was a child. During the war, he even killed the enemy's general with one arrow!" Yun Song said excitedly.

Xie Yujiao only let out a faint oh, probably only as a joke, a little general with "good fists and kicks" would be arrested when he met four local gangsters and robbers, and he knew that Yun Song was talking How much moisture is there.

Seeing that Xie Yujiao didn't believe it, Yun Song said anxiously: "Miss Xie, I'm not lying. My young master won a battle with the Tartars when he was young. He returned to Beijing to recuperate because of some injuries. My young master is very powerful. Already!"

After listening for a long time, Ziyan couldn't bear to listen anymore, she just pouted and said: "If he is really that powerful, why didn't he escape by himself! My girl didn't sleep well last night in order to find a way to save him. .”

Xie Yujiao saw that it was indeed her maid who was caring, and saw Yun Song's embarrassing appearance, she just smiled and said, "It's really amazing, at least it saved my mother."

Yun Song wanted to say something more, but felt a little lacking in confidence.
