Chapter 038 Sister and Brother

Lao Liu looked at the child who stood obediently and didn't move. "A long morning, an official came to send a message to us pay attention to a nine-year-old child. Here, this is a portrait. We have a hand. Didn't you receive it?"

"No wonder I saw the official before I came over, and I thought I was here to collect money again." The big man muttered, glanced at the portrait, curled his lips and said, "It doesn't look like that. You can't look at someone about the same age and doubt it."

Lao Liu also doesn't feel like it. In private, someone is rumored that the fire in the city owner's mansion last night was released by the city owner, and died in the fire with the very favored Mrs. Ru. Now the official is looking for the son of him and Mrs. Ru.

It's really strange. The city owner has more than one son. Why is he looking for this one? Is it possible that all the others are dead and only this one can escape?

The city owner, who usually has to be windy and rainy, actually died like this. Everyone feels that it is not appropriate. They are worried about what has changed, but life has to pass, and the money has to be earned, otherwise the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind.

I don't know how many people comfort themselves in their hearts like him. It's a matter of the great nobles, and they and ordinary people can continue to be busy with trembling.

"Come on, there is no one in the family for a child. I'm going to Huiting City to go to my sister. What's wrong with you?"

Looking at the anger on the big man's face, Lao Liu smiled bitterly. There was nothing he could do about this fellow villager who grew up playing with mud. When he heard that the child was going to his sister, he no longer shived.

The city owner and Mrs. Ru have only one son. Where did the daughter come from? Look at the child's gray. Although his eyes are brighter, he doesn't look like a prince of the city.

Only then was the big man happy. He walked to Guo Ruizong's side and carried him into the carriage without saying anything like last time.

With the last experience, Guo Ruizong did not panic and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"It takes two days to go to Huiting City, and you will stay in the inn for one night, and then you can follow that uncle."

"Thank you, uncle."

There are already eight people in the carriage that can seat ten people. The big man put him in the back and asked the others, "The child goes out alone, please take more care of the handle."

The people in the carriage thought he was Guo Ruizong's people. They nodded when they heard the words. They were not enthusiastic, but they also expressed their goodwill.

"All right, Chengzi, come down quickly. It's time to go."

The big man touched Guo Ruizong's head and got out of the carriage without saying anything else.

Guo Ruizong's sight followed him until the curtain of the carriage separated the two people.

Xia Hanqiu was very grateful to the big man. If it hadn't been for his help, I really didn't know how Nian'er would leave Wuyang City and come to her.

You can calculate the time, it's not right, "When did you enter the city?"

"The carriage broke down halfway and delayed the time. When we arrived at the pavilion, the gate was closed early. We rested outside the city last night and came in when the gate opened this morning."

In this way, I didn't wait long outside.

Xia Hanqiu also wanted to continue to ask. When he saw A Jiu coming in with food, he remembered that he hadn't eaten today. He was afraid that he hadn't eaten well in the first few days. He thought that there was no need to rush what had happened, so he stopped asking and took his clothes and put them on for him.

The clothes bought temporarily in the ready-to-wear shop outside did not fit well. Xia Hanqiu frowned.

A Jiu set up the food. Seeing that the young lady looked like this, he said, "The maid is already in a hurry to work. Let the prince wear it first today."

Guo Ruizong nodded, "Sister, I can wear anything."

Xia Hanqiu smiled and squatted down. Put on his shoes, but the good thing is that the shoes are about the same size.

"Eat something first, and I don't know what you like to eat. If you don't like it, you can change it to something else tomorrow."

"I eat all of them."

He lost his parents one after another. Guo Ruizong was the most insecure time, but his only sister had never been with him before. He was afraid of being rejected, so he had nowhere to go, so he behaved carefully everywhere, and there was no advantage of a noble man.

Xia Hanqiu didn't know how he was in the past. This kind of thought made her heartbroken.

In the few times she has seen, neither the thoughts of her childhood nor the thoughts of growing up have ever shown this side.

Yes, in the past, he was protected by his mother, as long as he grew up safely, but now, he has lost all his support.

Guo Ruizong was so hungry that he panicked. A bowl of porridge quickly bottomed out. He habitually wanted to order the maid to add more. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that his sister's not good-looking face, and he swallowed all the words.

How did he forget that he was no longer Guo Ruizong, the former lord of the city.

He doesn't even have the power to protect himself, and he still needs his sister's protection.

"Nian'er, why did you eat so much?" Seeing that he wanted to put down his chopsticks, Xia Hanqiu was anxious. How much did he eat? "Don't you like it? My sister asked someone to do something else.

"No, no, I like to eat, sister, I like to eat."

"If you like to eat, eat more. The doctor said that you should take good care of your body. Don't worry, my sister can afford to take care of you." With that, Xia Hanqiu took a bowl from Ajiu's hand and made porridge for him in person, and picked up some vegetables for him.

Guo Ruizong remembered something, put down his chopsticks, touched his chest, and took things out of his underwear.

He was worried that he would accidentally fall off, so he tied the package firmly close to his body. On a hot day, he tied it for two days, and the package was full of acid.

Open the package, the most conspicuous of which are the two letters inside.

A letter with a word or two written on it, but one letter is blank.

Guo Ruizong put Jingyi's letter aside, which is useless, but if he can meet people in the future, he still wants to give the letter to the other party to let her know that his mother's trust in her. He hopes that one more person in the world can remember his mother.

"Sister, this is what my mother gave you."

Xia Hanqiu received the letter and pinched it in his hand for a long time and finally did not open it on the spot.

Guo Ruizong pushed all the other things in the package to Xia Hanqiu. "Sister, I'll give you all these. Can you help me hire a powerful master? I want to learn martial arts."

There are few children in the aristocracy who are willing to learn martial arts. One of the reasons is that they can't bear the hardship, and because martial artists have never been able to get into the eyes of nobles, although there are many places where they need to rely on martial artists.

I don't like it, and how can I be willing to be such a person?

Now Nian'er proposes to learn martial arts...

Xia Hanqiu moved all the things aside and pushed the bowl in front of him, "Eat first."

Guo Ruizong obediently drank another bowl of porridge. He still felt that he was not full, but he still didn't plan to ask for it again.

Xia Hanqiu didn't mean to come at this time.

What I wanted to say, but after thinking about it, I finally swallowed the words and gave him another bowl.

After three bowls, Guo Ruizong said he didn't want it.

It's late at night.

One is to sleep all day and have no sleep.

One is that there are too many things in my heart, and I don't forget what time it is.

A Jiu wanted to remind him, but he was dragged out by your mother and retreated together.

The candlelight swayed, and the shadows of the two people swayed.

Xia Hanqiu picked up a pile of silver tickets. There were sixteen large thousand taels of silver tickets, several of five hundred taels, and several hundred taels of silver tickets. In addition to silver tickets, there were about a dozen pieces of jewelry, which were not big and were all rings and earrings. They should have been hurriedly caught by my mother from her jewelry

And these silver tickets, I'm afraid that my mother searched for everything that could be found in the city lord's mansion at that time.

"Nian'er, if you can trust your sister, will these silver tickets help you deal with it?"

"Give it to my sister."

"Sister, I can earn it by myself. These are left to you by my mother. I can't take it, but..." Thinking that Nian'er is also nine years old, Xia Hanqiu didn't hide it. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Just leave an impression in your heart, and you will understand it when

"Liang Chao is about to be in chaos. People with a little foresight will no longer store the money in the bank. If the bank is closed, if the owner of the bank dies one day, who will our money go to? While no one is running on it now, my sister went to take out the silver in different parts, and then exchanged it for gold to hide it. No matter how chaotic the world is, gold is more useful than other things. Can you understand what my sister said?

Guo Ruizong didn't say anything. Xia Hanqiu knew that he was thinking and didn't urge him.

After a while, Guo Ruizong nodded, "I understand. I just don't deposit the silver in other people's hands, but replace it with gold in his own hands."

"Yes, Nian'er is so smart." Seeing that he really understood, Xia Hanqiu praised with a smile, "My sister's shop can make some money every month. Except for some silver that needs to flow on the book, I have changed everything else into gold and put it in a hidden place. Even if all the banks are closed one day, I'm not afraid."

And such a day will not be too far away. At that time, the silver ticket will be used to light the fire.

And once there is chaos, Qianzhuang must be the first place to suffer. Whether it is the people who take advantage of the situation or the officers and soldiers will aim there.

She can't warn everyone, at least to make sure that her money does not fall into the hands of others.

Guo Ruizong understood as soon as he heard it this time, "My sister is in charge of this matter, it's just what I said before to learn martial arts..."

"Nian'er, don't worry." Xia Hanqiu told him about the situation at home, "I'm a woman, and no one can see it. You are still a childish. What if you invite a martial artist with a bad mind? Don't worry, my sister will definitely help you do what you want to do. We don't have to invite others for this. The second uncle is better than many people. Yesterday, I asked someone to send a letter to the second uncle. At that time, I didn't know that you would come to me. I only wrote in the letter that I was worried about my I'll definitely go. We'll wait for him to come to us at home.

Guo Ruizong was worried that this was just what his sister said to comfort him, so he squeezed his mouth and didn't say a word.

Xia Hanqiu was not annoyed. He took his hand and said softly, "Nian'er, my sister must keep her word. You can believe me once, huh?"

"What if... if the second uncle doesn't come all the time? Sister, can't you write a letter to your second uncle?

"He won't stop coming, Nian'er. The foreign ancestor's family must be stared at now. I'm not sure whether Taren will attract other people's attention. If I go again, I'm afraid the foreign ancestor's family will be in danger."

"I mean if..."

Looking at the child who persistently asked for an answer, Xia Hanqiu promised, "Then I will invite someone else to be your master."

"Really?"

"Um, it's a deal."

Ask for pink. RS
