The words of Chen Jisheng and Zhao Gongming made Xiao Chen feel cold and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness in him.
I could only sigh softly and remain silent.
"Don't talk about the daughters of poor families. Not long ago, I met a rich girl from a government official's family who sold herself to bury her parents. I saw that she seemed to be a well-educated and sensible woman. I was afraid that she would be mistreated, so I spent money to buy her.
Come back." Zhao Gongming said.
"Why is he also a child from a prisoner's family?" Chen Jisheng asked hurriedly.
"That's not true. His father resigned from his job. His family is originally from Jiangdong County. I heard that his father is also an official in Anyang Mansion... Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Gongming saw Xiao Chen.
There was a look of surprise on his face and he stopped mid-sentence.
"Is his father's name Liu Changan?" Xiao Chen asked.
"It seems his name is An? Why do you still recognize him?" Zhao Gongming was surprised.
Xiao Chenxin said I didn't rely on such a coincidence, right?
It was such a coincidence that Zhao Gongming called the girl over, and Xiao Chen recognized her at a glance. It was Liu Xiangqin who they almost rescued from Shi Mingwen's house.
Although his face has lost a lot of weight, his big eyes are still very clear.
But Liu Xiangqin didn't recognize Xiao Chen, because that night he was dressed as Xiao Xinghan, and his face was covered with ink...
After Shi Mingwen's death, Liu Changan resigned for fear that he would be implicated.
He did not dare to return to his hometown, but went the other way and took his wife and daughter north to Fengyang.
Jiangdong was prosperous, and he had been an official for many years. He still had savings of seven to eight thousand taels of silver, and he wanted to open a small silver shop in Fengyang City to support his family.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. He contracted a severe cold just a few days after arriving in Fengyang Mansion. He got sick once before his daughter was robbed. Although Wen Shanchang cured him, his body was still very weak after all.
.
In addition, she was tired from the journey and felt depressed. She fell on the bed and never got up. The lady was so sad that she immediately vomited blood and died!
Several family members who followed them saw that the situation was not good, and took advantage of the chaos to sweep away all his money and flee.
Liu Xiangqin's daughter is left alone, and her family is really in trouble every day, and the earth and the earth are in trouble! She can only cry heartbrokenly in the hotel, guarding the cold bodies of her parents, and fight to the death.
Fortunately, the owner of the store was kind-hearted. Seeing how pitiful she was, he didn't drive her away. He just advised her to mourn and be obedient, quickly visit relatives and friends, borrow some money, and bury her parents' bodies first.
Liu Xiangqin was a housebound daughter and had no relatives in Fengyang City, so where could she borrow money?
After wandering around the street for a long time, I couldn't think of anything. Suddenly I saw a stall that helped people write letters. I don't know why I had an idea, and I remembered the story of a filial daughter who sold her body to bury her father in ancient times.
So I asked someone to borrow a pen and paper, wrote a few words and put them in front of me, planning to sell myself in exchange for money to bury my parents.
It was said that selling one's body to bury one's father was rare in ancient and modern times. A large group of onlookers immediately gathered around her, talking and commenting on her.
Zhao Gongming happened to be passing by, and he was curious when he saw a large group of people around him. When he came to inquire, he found out that this filial daughter was still a lady, and he couldn't bear to see her humiliated in public, so he spent money to buy her and sent someone to
They took the bodies of her parents and temporarily stored them in a temple outside the city, preparing to choose a date for burial.
Liu Xiangqin sold her body to bury her father on impulse. Someone actually bought her, but she regretted it. When she saw that the buyer was an old man without a beard, she was even more afraid. This old man would not let her do what he did.
Concubine or something?
That is really impossible to live!
But her parents' bodies had not yet been laid to rest, and she could not seek death, otherwise wouldn't it be a shameful appearance in vain?
He has already made plans in private. If this old man wants to marry himself as his concubine, he must do so after burying his parents.
When the time comes, she will find an opportunity to end it on her own. Although she feels sorry for the old man, she really has no choice.
It seems that everything is destined by God. He failed to commit suicide at Shi Mingwen's home. I'm afraid he will not be able to escape death this time.
I was crying secretly in the room just now. When I heard Zhao Gongming calling me, I thought he was about to show off his cards with me. I had already prepared my words, but unexpectedly, he still had guests.
So what does this mean?
You’re not going to resell yourself!
If it is sold to a good family and used as a girl, I will accept it, but I am afraid that it will be sold to that kind of place... Then I will be bloody on the spot now!
However, these two guests, an old man and a young man, look impressive and well-groomed. They must not be the owners of a brothel, right?
"Miss Xiangqin, do you know me?" Xiao Chen asked.
Liu Xiangqin timidly raised her head and looked at him, her face turned red, and she shook her head slightly.
"I recognize you...Father." Xiao Chen sighed, "Unexpectedly, both of your fathers and mothers died. It is really unexpected. Miss Xiangqin expresses my condolences to you. I will help you take care of their funeral... You will be hereafter.
What are your plans?"
Liu Xiangqin was surprised and happy. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen again. Not to mention, she really felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him before.
And I seem to have heard his voice before, but I just can't remember it for the moment.
"Ah, so you know my father? I don't have any plans. I don't have any relatives at home. I don't know anyone here. Fortunately, this old gentleman took him in..." Xin said that this old gentleman didn't tell you that I had been bought by him.
?
"Then will you follow me from now on?" Xiao Chen asked for her opinion.
Liu Xiangqin's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head again because she couldn't answer these words.
"Oh, don't get me wrong. I mean, can you let me take care of you from now on?" Xiao Chen's explanation was not much better. To Liu Xiangqin, it still meant the same thing.
"I can't even speak clearly!" Chen Jisheng glared at Xiao Chen. This brat loses his composure whenever he sees a good-looking girl!
"Girl, just go back with me. It's quite boring for me, the old man, to live alone at home. I heard that you are well-educated and sensible. From now on, you can just chat with me to relieve your boredom." Chen Jisheng's words sounded even scarier.
Okay?
"That's fine, it's really inconvenient where I am." Xiao Chen said.
Liu Xiangqin is actually not very willing. If she was asked to choose, she would rather choose Xiao Chen!
But she couldn't help it.
She was sent to Xiao Chen's home that day. Fortunately, Chen Jisheng looked solemn and steady, and didn't seem to have any wrong thoughts about her.
In fact, Zhao Gongming didn't have any bad thoughts about her, but Zhao Gongming always looked weird and didn't look like a serious person, especially his drake voice, which was very disturbing...
But she was still worried most of the night, fearing that Chen Jisheng would sneak into her boudoir and plot something against her. After all, people should not be judged by their appearance. What if this old man turned out to be a beast in disguise?
It is also necessary to guard against it.
But fortunately, nothing she worried about happened. In the end, she was so sleepy that she couldn't hold it anymore, so she fell asleep.
