Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 372 Miao Family Old House
The people of Beiyang City had heard about it, and they all came early with their families, holding their bowls and chopsticks, to line up, for fear that if they were late there would be no food.
The chef's spatula was almost sparking, but he still had a smile on his face.
It is a very happy thing to have the food you cook liked and recognized by others.
Bailing, Xiao Zhang and others were watching from the front, and the people were very conscientious in serving their food.
Because the people from the Governor's Office said that you can take as much as you want to eat, and you can get more after you finish eating, but you can't waste it.
Everyone wasted food and lined up in an orderly manner to get their food.
Some people who grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks will also bring their own vegetables, as well as some eggs and duck eggs.
Bai Ling said no, but they didn't take it back. They put it down and went to get the food.
She turned around to get her things and looked for someone, but she didn't know who had put them down.
When Madam Si and the others found out, they asked Bailing and the others to accept the gifts. They placed a basket at the door and asked the people who brought gifts to put their things in the basket.
The people were all very happy. The three-day banquet was better than what they had eaten during the Chinese New Year. The Governor's Office was not stingy and provided plenty of meat and rice.
The Si family also sent the gifts they received to various orphanages and charity halls to accumulate blessings for the children.
Miao Jiu returned to the Miao family's old house the day after the full moon banquet, and did not take Si Ning and the three children back with him.
When Juanjuan saw that he was going, she hugged his legs like a leg pendant and said, "Uncle, Juanjuan wants to go too."
"Uncle is not going out to play, he has something to do." Miao Jiu looked at the small pendant with a headache. Normally, she was not happy to wear it when he wanted her to.
This time I don't want her to depend on me, and I can't get rid of her no matter what.
He turned to look at Si Ming and others, and signaled them with his eyes: You guys should think of a solution!
"Juanjuan, how about we go see your third uncle?" Siming wanted to coax her down.
"Dad, I want to go see grandpa with my uncle." Juanjuan looked at him pitifully with big eyes.
When Siming saw her expression, he really couldn't say no.
"Juanjuan, do you want to go to the stock exchange?" Si Tian threw out a place she had never been to.
Juanjuan tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Uncle, let's go another day. Today, Juanjuan wants to go with my uncle."
Si Ning is now taking care of three children: "Juanjuan, if you leave, your aunt won't be able to take care of your three younger brothers."
"Brother, Sister Baiqiao and Sister Bailing can help." Juanjuan pointed at a few people and made clear arrangements.
Seeing her insistence, Madam Si said, "Then take Juanjuan with you."
"Mom." Everyone in the Si family looked at her in confusion.
If we go somewhere else, Miao Jiu will definitely not stop us, but if we go to the Miao family's old house, the people there are not good people.
"Otherwise, if you force her down, do you think the little girl will sneak out?" Old Madam Si looked at them.
"Uh!" Everyone was speechless.
The little guy Juanjuan looks very well behaved now, but once he makes up his mind, it’s probably not that easy to change it.
Miao Jiu pinched his brows with a headache: "Okay, I'll take her there."
"Woof woof. I want to go too."
"Clack. I'm coming too."
"Oh oh. I want to go too."
"Chirp. If there's any fun place, I'll go too."
In the end, Miao Jiu had a headache watching the animals that couldn't get out of the car no matter what. When you took one down, another one came in.
After a lot of trouble, no one came down.
"Forget it, I'll take them back with me. At worst, they'll be stewed into soup." Miao Jiu said while looking at the chicks.
"Cluck, cluck. We don't even know who's stewing whom!"
Miao Jiu had no choice but to ask Miao Long, who had already returned, to drive a few more cars over and stuff all these guys into the cars, otherwise he would have to walk back.
The old house of the Miao family, a courtyard with five entrances.
Miao Jiu pulled Juanjuan out of the car. The people at the door immediately came forward and saluted him respectfully: "Master Jiu."
The little animals in the cars behind jumped out and followed Juanjuan with their heads held high, as if they were on patrol.
"This is my daughter. Be respectful to her and the little ones behind her, otherwise they will die without knowing how." Miao Jiu glanced at the little animals behind him.
"Yes." The people in the Miao family's old house immediately opened the door and let them in.
Miao Jiu pulled Juanjuan and stepped into the Miao family's old house.
But the atmosphere inside was a little subtle. When some people saw Miao Jiu coming back, they quickly turned around to inform their masters.
Juanjuan looked at the house curiously: "Wow! Grandpa House."
"This house is quite old." Miao Jiu pulled her towards the main room.
After Old Man Miao came back, he did not show any emotion. He wanted to see if there was someone else behind this. As a result, he heard that Miao Jiu had returned with Si Xingnuan.
He couldn't help but frown. Why did he bring this little girl here at this time?
"Hello, Grandpa!" Juanjuan was the first to greet him with a smile when she saw him.
Old Man Miao looked at her smiling face and softened his tone: "Hello!"
"Grandpa, these are the little animals in our house. They have come here to visit me." Juanjuan pointed to the little animals behind him.
Old Man Miao looked at the little animals behind her. The chicks looked quite fierce.
"Okay, okay, you're all welcome to come and play."
"I will stay in the old house for a few days, and Juanjuan will live in my yard." Miao Jiu looked at him as if to inform him, and then he pulled Juanjuan away.
"Goodbye, Grandpa." Juanjuan turned around and waved goodbye to him as she left.
"Master, Master Jiu is back. Should we continue with the plan?" Butler Miao looked at the two people who were leaving.
"Go on, just send more people outside their yard." A fierce look flashed across Old Man Miao's eyes.
"Master, the first and second concubines are here." A servant came in and reported.
"Let them in." Old man Miao lowered his head so that no emotion could be seen.
It seems that this house is really leaky everywhere. I am really getting old.
"Master, I heard that Lao Jiu is back. He hasn't been back for a long time." The eldest concubine is over fifty years old, but she is well maintained and still looks charming.
The second concubine said the same thing: "Did you bring the triplets back? I haven't seen the triplets yet. I'll go see them later."
"You are well-informed! You received the news as soon as he came in." Old man Miao looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Master, we haven't seen Lao Jiu and his wife for a long time. We just wanted to come and see them. Besides, they gave birth to triplets, which is such a rare thing."
"Yes, everyone in Beiyang City knows that the Ninth Master of the Miao family had three sons in one fell swoop."
The two of them spoke in unison and walked to Old Man Mu's side and acted coquettishly.
Mr. Miao looked at the bracelet on his wrist. This was a gift from the two men, who said they had obtained it from a temple.
I didn't expect that the two people who had followed me the longest would end up killing me.
