But she had never seen the two of them, so she couldn't make a decision at the moment, so she said cautiously, "Old madam, can I tell you if I can meet the two masters? Miss Nannan is still young, and she is a girl. She will get married when she grows up. I need to find a good uncle to rely on..."
Old Mrs. Li softened her expression when she heard that she was really planning for her master.
"Okay, I'll ask the second child to come forward and take you to see the two Mr. Sun. Our family doesn't care which house you are willing to stay at, or which house can take you in."
After that, she pointed to the two packages and Said, "At the beginning, the collar that Mrs. Sun gave me was said to be a pair with my daughter. I'm afraid I lost hers? You can take this back as a thought.
In addition, Mrs. Sun gave our family a pair of collars ." Our Li family now pays back ten times the hundred taels of silver..."
Sister-in-law Li was afraid that the old lady would stop walking around again, so she quickly kowtowed again.
"Old madam, I don't want any money. Our madam has passed away. Please take pity on my orphaned girl and help her again?"
Tao Hongying looked at the old lady and asked, "How do you want us to help?"
Li The sister-in-law thought about it for a long time, and then quickly responded, "With this money, can I ask the old lady to help me buy a small manor or a farm or a shop?
" . In the future, when the young lady gets married, she can also use it as a dowry.
"Also, during the holidays in the future, can the slave and the young lady come to kowtow to the old lady? Just ask the old lady for protection. I am really afraid that I will not be able to protect the young lady when she grows up..."
The old lady immediately shook her head, "No! If it is inconvenient for you to take away the money, you can leave it here temporarily and pick it up later. But buying land in Zhuangzi is not easy for our family to deal with, so you can arrange it yourself.
"And you don't have to come to the house during the holidays. Tomorrow I will ask my second son to take you to Sun's house. Even if it is the last bit of kindness to repay Mrs. Sun, you can take care of yourself from now on. "
Sister-in-law Li wanted to say something else, but Tao Hongying had already called Aunt He to take them back to the Ye family's wing.
Sister-in-law Li was very disappointed, but she didn't dare to say anything else. She hugged her daughter and kowtowed, and then she bowed her eyebrows and walked out.
Early on the next morning, Li Laoer changed into a brocade robe, and Ye Shan drove the car, took Aunt He and Sister-in-law Li into the city. Sister
-in-law Li and Sister-in-law dressed up specially, but instead of tidying up, they went into the city. There was a lot of black dust on their clothes, head and face, and they were as embarrassed as those fleeing from famine.
When Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying saw them off, they were shocked when they saw them like this, but then they understood.
With this kind of mentality, Even without the support of the Li family, the future life of the master and servant would be the same.
The Sun family in the north of the city received a message from Uncle Zhongshan yesterday saying that he was coming to visit today, so Sun Chengjian deliberately stopped teaching for one day.
At this moment, he Sitting with his cousin Sun Siyuan while drinking tea, they all wondered why Uncle Zhongshan came to visit.
It couldn't be that he wanted to send his children to study, right?
Sun Siyuan was working in the Yamen, so he was more familiar with the history of the Li family.
Even he knew that Li Jiaren, who was a student at Hanbo, was the eldest grandson of the Li family. But Li Jiaren had only studied in the academy for a few months and was not his close disciple. Even if
he knew where the Li family was now, he would not He didn't come to the door shamelessly.
And Uncle Zhongshan is Jiaren's father. Could it be that he came to the door today to ask him to be a teacher in the village?
He heard that there is a school in Suijintan...
The two brothers have their own thoughts, and their minds are working rapidly. At that time, Li Laoer and others arrived.
The Sun brothers hurried to the door and were a little confused when they saw women and children coming down from the carriage.
After waiting, they welcomed Li Laoer into the house and exchanged greetings. After a few words, Li Laoer bowed to Sun Siyuan.
"Thank you sir for your careful teaching to me. I don't want to see you here again.
Sun Siyuan quickly returned the gift and said with a smile, "My uncle is like this, and my subordinates are really scared. " The young master of your house is smart and polite, and has a talent for reading. Although he has only taught for a few months, he still feels honored to come here. I just don't know where your son is studying now? "
Li Laoer listened with a smile and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When he took his son to Hanbo Academy, he was afraid of stepping on ants when he walked. His cautiousness is still vivid in his mind.
The Mr. Sun in front of me was the best gentleman in the academy at that time, and he was also the brother-in-law of the dean, in charge of the general affairs of the entire academy.
Although he treated them kindly to father and son, he was still somewhat condescending.
In just three years, he, a farmer, became an uncle, while the academy gentleman became a small official in the government, and he had to call himself a subordinate when facing him.
How unexpected the changes in the world are!
Of course, he couldn't say these words. He just responded, "Not long after our family moved here, Jiaren went to Luo'an Academy to study. Now he doesn't have time to go home often."
Mr. Sun nodded and praised, "Big Young master, if he has accumulated a lot of experience, he will definitely become a blockbuster and be named on the gold medal list."
"Thank you, sir, for your kind words!"
The two of them sang in harmony and talked lively, leaving Sun Chengjian aside.
He already had a good face, but he was angry that his cousin didn't mention his acquaintance with the Li family beforehand, so he couldn't bear it now.
He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, you are here today. Your humble house is really full of glory. For this reason, I specially gave the school children a holiday.
"I just didn't know that my uncle is here, but do you need our brother's help for something? If this is the case, uncle, feel free to speak. Cousin Siyuan works as an errand in the government office. Even if he is unable to do anything, what about my incompetent brother? "
What this said was saying that Sun Siyuan was not free. The Li family wanted to find someone to serve, so they had no choice but to choose him.
Sun Siyuan raised his eyebrows, lowered his head to drink tea, and said nothing.
Li Laoer smiled faintly and motioned to Aunt He to take the lead . Sister-in-law Li and Nannan came forward.
"Mr. Sun Da is right. I really have something to do when I come here today. However, it is not about our family, but the clan members of your family are sent to join us.
"Earlier, my brother came back from a ship in Quanzhou Prefecture and met these two masters and servants. Because our family had a relationship with them back then, we helped take care of them on the way. I specially sent them to the house today!" Is
the tribe defecting?
Sun Siyuan and Sun Chengjian were both stunned when they heard this. They thought of countless reasons, but they never thought that this was the reason why the uncle came to visit!
However, Sister-in-law Li hugged her daughter and fell to her knees and began to cry.
She was quite smart and did not say that the uncle of the Wang family had poisoned her master. She only said that the master was missing, his wife died of illness, and the uncle could not live in his family.
Fortunately, I remembered that Uncle Nannan was here and came to seek refuge.
When Sun Siyuan heard that his second cousin was missing and his cousin-in-law passed away, he was very surprised and asked carefully for a long time.
But Sun Chengjian didn't say a word, his brows furrowed tightly.
Sister-in-law Li said while crying. She looked at the expressions of the two Mr. Sun clearly from the corner of her eye, and she had an idea in her mind.
She pulled her daughter, went directly to hug Sun Chengjian's trousers, and cried loudly.
"Please, for the sake of our dead master, please take in the slave and the young lady. The young lady is young, but she can be raised with just one mouthful of food.
"The slave can work and make needlework. The young lady will get married in the future, and the dowry money will be enough. Earning it from slaves will definitely not hinder the big master. "
Sun Chengjian was not happy to begin with. When his father remarried and gave birth to his younger brother, he disliked him in every possible way. He had been away from home for so many years and did not receive any support from his family.
Now that his younger brother is dead, he actually has to help raise his child?
Surely ? He was taken advantage of!
But Uncle Li's uncle was present. If he refused, would the Li family think that he was cruel and cruel?
When he was hesitating, a woman suddenly shouted loudly outside the door, "No! Master, we cannot accept them! "
