Seeing Xiang Cao's expression of displeasure, Xia He also stared at her master, Huo Xi thought about it and explained to them.
"That head is in charge of all the laborers on the dock, and he distributes the work. Can there be no one behind it?"
Xia He nodded: "I heard that someone in his family is a high-ranking official in the capital."
"Really? Why don't we sneak in in the middle of the night? I also sneaked away in the middle of the night." I managed to escape. Vanilla is a little proud.
Huo Xi knew what she was thinking at a glance, and just smiled: "That's when I had a grudge with the Zhu family, and then I was beaten up and robbed of the money. Do you think he can think of the Zhu family? Let the Zhu family go?"
Xiangxiu and Xia He scared a wit.
"It's still a girl who is amazing and considerate."
Mrs. Wu came over and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how can I be your master. You girls are amazing, you must listen to her words carefully in the future, and don't do things that betray the master, you know?"
"I know. Let's listen to the girl." The two girls nodded in unison.
Wu looked at the two girls and nodded in satisfaction.
The big one, it is said that it can read the weather, seems to be clever, and the small one, it seems to be more stable than the big one. Ningxiu and Zhongquan were very loyal before, and they were devoted to the main task. This little girl was taught by them, so she should be loyal too.
Trade the two of them to talk about the rules.
And Ningxiu returned to the hospital with the twenty taels of silver given by Huo Xi and the identity certificate of the eldest daughter, and saw the two young children lying on their father's bed and falling asleep. Zhongquan also frowned and fell asleep.
stepped forward to help him tuck the quilt.
Zhu Zhongquan woke up immediately: "What, has the master accepted us?"
Ningxiu shook her head.
Zhu Zhongquan was disappointed for a while.
I used to think that being a good citizen is free, but now I find that it is very difficult for a good citizen without power and power. It's better to devote yourself to the name of the master's family and win the asylum of the master's family.
"The master only signed Xia He."
Xia He? Only then did Zhu Zhongquan realize that his eldest daughter was not there, and when he heard that Xia He had returned to Beijing with the master's house, his face was filled with reluctance.
"I haven't even been able to tell the child a few words. But it's better if she goes with the master's house, it's better than staying here and being bullied."
This offended the head, and I don't know how to live in the future, the work on the dock should be gone.
Ningxiu thought of her daughter who didn't know when she would meet again, wiped tears on her face, and showed the man the money in her bosom.
Consolation: "The master gave it. They said that there will be a day of reunion in the future. The master said that after a while, the second son of Li Guanshi will come to Ningbo to open a shop. He said that if we want to, we can work in the shop."
"Really?" Zhu Zhongquan was excited for a while, as if the broken leg stopped hurting immediately.
After a while, he languished again, knocking on his broken leg: "But I'm crippled, and the master probably won't want me."
Ningxiu comforted him: "Yes, you can read and write, you have worked as a manager, you have also opened a shop, and you are familiar with the docks. I think the master brought two boats here, so they must be here to do business with Fan people. You have figured out things on the pier all these years, even if you are limping, you can still help the Lord's family."
As soon as Zhu Zhongquan heard this, hope was ignited in his heart: "If the master's family opens a shop and does business with Fanren, I will definitely be able to help!"
After getting excited, seeing his wife frowning, he asked her, "Are you thinking about Xia He?"
Ningxiu shook her head: "I'm thinking of Guanshi Li's boss. That little boss looks so familiar."
"Although I haven't seen it before, but it looks familiar. It looks like... like Miss."
"Like who?"
"Like Miss Xinrou."
"Huh?" Zhu Zhongquan was quite surprised. After thinking about it, he shook his head: "Miss didn't have such a big son."
"But it's very similar to when the young lady was young. I stayed with the young lady since I was a child, and I remember what the young lady looks like. The young lady used to sneak out of the house to play and wear the second son's clothes. That's how she looked."
After speaking, I was a little excited, and grabbed Zhu Zhongquan's hand: "Do you think that sister Ning is not dead?"
"What nonsense are you talking about. After the lady left, didn't we go to the Zhang family ancestor's grave to pay homage to the lady, and there is sister Ning's tomb next to it."
Zhu Zhongquan felt that she was a little dazed.
But Ningxiu was excited: "At the beginning we knew that the young lady gave birth to the young master. That day we sent the Li family out of the city at the city gate. Sister Ning's nanny was ordered by the young lady to come to give money to the Li family. We originally invited her Sit at home, do you remember what she said?"
Zhu Zhongquan still remembers the day when the Li family was exiled: "She said she would go back and help look after the young master."
Ningxiu looked excited: "Yes, she said that the young master will be full moon soon, and the mansion didn't come to pick them up. She also said that she wanted to write to the uncle in the north. We all know that the young lady gave birth to the young master Yes, but the obituary in the Zhang family said that the young lady died of dystocia."
Zhu Zhongquan sat up straight excitedly, staring at Ningxiu closely: "So Miss's two children are still alive?"
Ningxiu shook her head: "I don't know. But when I looked at the child, Aunt Li blocked my eyes."
Zhu Zhongquan was trembling with excitement.
"That's it, that's it! Young master, we don't know, sister Ning must be still alive. Otherwise, Guanshi Li's family would all go to Huzhou to be good citizens, and his eldest son opened a private school in Huzhou, and his reputation as a son was not recognized. Lu, why do you rush to be a slave to someone else?"
The more the husband and wife talked, the more excited they became.
The lives of both of them were saved by the Li family. Without the Li family, there would be no them. How unhappy to learn that Miss's daughter is still alive now.
"Go to the front and find the medicine boy to bring me the medicine. I will get well soon and work for Sister Ning. At that time, we will ask Manager Li about the whereabouts of the Li family, and we will also give it to the master and wife. Send something."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Let's talk about Huo Xi's side, sailing away from Ningbo Port, going up the Yongjiang River, arriving at Hangzhou, turning into the Jiangnan Canal, and arriving in Huzhou within two days.
"Your boat is too big to get into Laolongxi, just drop us off at the wharf here."
"I'll ask a few bodyguards to send you off. You old and young, I don't feel at ease if you bring so many things."
"No, no, no. We charter a boat at this pier and get home in less than half a day. The territory of Huzhou here is very safe."
Li Shiwu and Wu's life and death refused to let Huo Xi send them off, and only asked a few bodyguards and buddies to help move the things to the hired boat, and waved goodbye to her at the pier.
"Sister Xi'er, let's go see Fanren and Fanchuan together next time." Li Yin and Li Yi were very reluctant to let go, hugging Huo Xi's leg.
Both Wu and Li Shiwu were amused: "These two children are so ambitious, they still want to see the big boat."
Huo Xi smiled and stroked their little heads: "Okay, next time sister Xi'er passes by here again, I'll pick you up and see Fanren and Fanboat together. You don't get seasick, that's great. Next time my sister will come and take you."
The two children were very happy, and even hooked up with her before waving goodbye to her at the pier.
The two boats continued to go northward from the South Canal. At the end of the day, Shenmo arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, which was already in the territory of Jingkou.
It takes less than a day to get there from Jingkou to the capital. Huo Xi decided to rest at the dock for a day or two.
