217 Reunion 1
The butler in Zhuangzi, the suburbs of Beijing, tried to explain everything clearly as concisely as possible.
While listening, Xin Sulan paid attention to An Shengchang's reaction. Seeing that he shook his head indecisively, she whispered to the butler: "You send the person to a nearby teahouse or restaurant first and buy them some food. Ask them to fill their stomachs and wait for peace of mind, and then see what the situation is here."
"yes."
The butler agreed upon hearing this, bowed and went out. He led the four of them to a nearby restaurant and ordered a table of dishes for Qiaoju and his family to eat.
Seeing the sumptuous meal, the four of them were so hungry that their eyes were green, but they didn't dare to move. They went to see the butler with some anxiety.
"This is what the wife told me. The yamen looks smooth now, so there is no need for you to come forward."
The butler explained to the four people with a happy expression: "You eat first, and I'll go to the yamen to take a look. After you finish eating, stay here to rest and don't go out and walk around. Avoid being caught by someone and tell the Chen family that it will be difficult to deal with if someone comes to take you as a fugitive slave."
"We won't leave randomly, thank you, butler." Qiaoju and his family were shocked and hurriedly promised, and sent the butler away respectfully.
First, he filled his stomach with a voracious appetite. Qiaoju and her parents slowed down their eating speed and started talking while eating.
Qiao Ju said with some concern: "I don't know if anyone was seen when we entered the door just now? What if this is a coincidence that it really attracted the Chen family?"
"Don't be crowed. I paid special attention when I got off the carriage just now. Not to mention the people who would go to the Chen family to report the news, I didn't even see a dog. Those people probably went to the yamen to watch the fun." Qiao Ju's father spat a few times before saying.
"That's right, mom, don't worry. I saw it specially when I got off the bus just now."
Qiao Ju also nodded to her mother, and then explained with a smile: "And you forgot that we are now another layer of identity?
The people from the other end of the Monkey Village helped us to be easily favored, and the housekeeper also explained it. Even if we go to court, we only need my father and I to go there. We insisted that we had only met us halfway and accidentally saved the secret matter of Chen that we knew?”
"Yes, yes, that's what it said."
This immediately made Qiao Ju Niang settle her heart: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been nervous before, they just asked a few questions casually, and I would have told us all about our true identities, and there would be no such thing now.
Although they promised us that something would happen to us would not happen, I was still very afraid. Fortunately, I didn’t have to go to court, otherwise I would be afraid that I would confess everything in a few words.”
As she said that, she red eyes in annoyance, wiped the tears that had not yet fallen out, and saw that her youngest son was still heartless and was burying his head without raising his head.
Seeing his son like this, Qiao Ju Niang couldn't help but smile and said to Qiao Ju's father with a little sadness: "I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to sleep in the mountains without going through this journey.
Whether it is a mountain or a villager in the mountains, life is too difficult. However, the owner of Monkey Mountain Villa looks really good.
At least he is generous, even to the people in the village. He can eat enough and eat meat every day, and learn various skills and choose to work at the village shop.
Not to mention whether you have errands or no errands, you still have at least one outfit every year. There is no shortage of bedding at home. The most important thing is that you are sick, and there are doctors in the village to help you see a doctor, and you don’t have to spend your own money to get medicine.”
Qiao Ju Niang said with envy, "You said that if we rely on ourselves to make a living like this, we may not be able to live a life even if we earn more than ten years. Not to mention anything else, just say that if someone in the family gets sick, everything will be over. His father, why don't we just stay there?"
“…”
Stopped the chopsticks, Qiao Ju's father pondered for a while, and obviously looked at Qiao Ju with a little heart: "What do you think?"
"Dad, I can't say it. But I think it's time to stay or stay, so we can't help it." Qiao Ju also stopped chopsticks and sighed.
The owner of the Monkey Village was obviously operating a huge force. She knew that Monkey Mountain, and it is said that no outsiders had ever broken into it for decades. Who knew that this time, their family broke into it. Qiao Ju suspected that if their family did not decide to stay, they would not have a good ending.
"You mean..."
No? It shouldn't be what they thought? Then the people trained in the farm were all dead soldiers?
After a sensation, it was not only Qiao Ju's father, but even Qiao Ju Niang trembled. The two of them looked up together, looked at Qiao Ju with fear on their faces, and said in surprise.
"It's hard to say, but the housekeeper told us not to go out just now. I'm really afraid that if we don't obey and dare to go out here, it's hard to say whether we have a life or not."
After following the wife of the Chen family's head, Jian, for a long time, Qiao Ju felt that if she was really innocent and uncautious, she would probably not be able to live now.
She had a bitter face and thought helplessly, afraid that their family would be just a slave.
"Oh." Qiao Ju's father lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks and his eyes were full of complexity.
"What should we do now?" Qiao Ju Niang also put down her chopsticks and asked with a frown.
"Then, those are just my random guesses. Maybe I might not be sure if I guess wrong?"
Seeing that he was scared by his parents, Qiaoju felt a little annoyed and wanted to remedy it. But, how could it be so easy to remedy it?
Qiao Ju's father and Qiao Ju Niang looked at each other and saw helplessness and sorrow in each other's eyes. However, in order not to make Qiao Ju continue to be upset, both of them forced to smile.
Qiao Ju's father sighed and picked up the chopsticks again and said, "It's useless to think too much now. Forget it, eat quickly. It's easy to say anything when we have enough food. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. There is nothing more important in this world than eating a full meal."
Yes, the emperor is the best.
Qiao Ju Niang picked up the chopsticks, and saw that Qiao Ju was still stunned and pushed her: "Eat."
Maybe it was because I had no choice but to eat, or maybe I had lived a hard life in the mountains, and the family of four was so embarrassed that they could not eat anything but wasted, and for a moment, they ate all the food on the table.
After eating, they were so full that the four of them had to hold their stomachs in the private room and make a slight meal.
