"Oh, yes, I heard that there is a female Taoist priest who is good at chess in the temple. Several decades ago, a foreign chess player came to provoke our dynasty. It was Taoist Master Miaoshou who played with that person for two days and two nights, and only then was the dignity of our dynasty maintained."
"Master Miaoshou..." Song Yuehua's mind just moved, but she immediately changed her mind, "Guan Xiaodie..."
Duan Yida leaned against the wall, opened his mouth and snored.
He was sleeping so soundly that Song Yuehua couldn't bear to wake him up, so she called him twice but there was no response.
It was such a cold day. If he fell asleep like this, he would be frozen to death before the afternoon. Song Yuehua stretched out her hand and was about to pick him up horizontally, but she saw Duan Yidao rolling to the side in fright.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
"Go back to sleep when you wake up," Song Yuehua said as she stood up. "I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I was going to carry you back."
Duan Yidao's face, which was originally flushed by the alcohol, turned pale after hearing this.
"Girl, remember, even if I die, don't touch me. If I let you hug me, I won't be able to live for the rest of my life."
Song Yuehua, "..."
After saying that, Duan Yidao ran back in a panic and almost slipped in the yard.
The water in the pot was boiling. Song Yuehua poured herself a bowl of hot water and drank it, then went to the South Courtyard.
It’s better to tell Baozi about the Guan family’s affairs.
South Courtyard.
Baozi stood up suddenly and muttered, "Chen family, Guan family... why..."
"Second Master, is Second Master still alive?" Baozi asked hurriedly.
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "He is alive, but he was sold to a border state..."
This was all the information they knew. Even if Baozi asked again, Song Yuehua couldn't say anything. After all, they were from the same village, and it was already very kind of her to tell them this.
Before leaving, Baozi bowed to her and said, "Miss Song, thank you very much."
After Song Yuehua left, Yao Er came out and asked, "Master, what are you going to do?"
"Ask someone to bring some silver over." Baozi sighed.
Yao Er hummed and asked again, "Can't we redeem something that has been sold like this?"
"Redeem it!"
Baozi cursed with disgust, "What are you thinking about? Who can redeem it in this situation? Besides, even if it can be redeemed, if it is brought back and left here, who will be the king?"
"Send some money over there to make his life easier. This is enough to show the master-servant relationship we have in the past. If he gets better in the future, he will remember this kindness. On the contrary, if he gets here, he will become our enemy sooner or later."
After saying this, Baozi looked at Yao Er and shook his head with a sigh.
"You, don't even think about it. Just listen to me. Have more children while you're still young, so that my Bao family can flourish and bring honor to our ancestors."
After coming out of the South Courtyard, Song Yuehua caught a chicken from the big courtyard and went to Hongye Village to see Feng Cuihua first.
Feng's mother was happy to see her and quickly welcomed her in.
Song Yuehua put the chicken in the basket down and said, "This chicken is for Xiao Cui to nourish her body."
"What should we do, Miss Song? We appreciate your kindness, but you should just take this back." Mother Feng covered the backpack.
Song Yuehua blew a breath of warm air into her palms, "It's so cold, it's not easy for me to come here, don't be polite to me, I'm going to go see Xiao Cui."
When I entered the house, it was still cold. Xiao Cui was covered with several layers of quilts, but her hands were still cold when I touched them.
"Boss, why are you here in such a cold day?" Xiao Cui said in a weak voice.
Song Yuehua asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"
"have eaten."
There is not even a charcoal brazier in this room.
Song Yuehua walked out, took out 200 coins and gave them to Feng's mother, saying, "Go to our village and find Wang Xiaoye to buy smokeless charcoal from her. Remember, you must buy smokeless charcoal. It's too cold in the house. Xiaocui is weak now, so the charcoal fire cannot be turned off."
"Miss Song..."
Mother Feng was also very sad. "Since Xiao Cui came here, the Hu family has been ignoring her. All the money in the family has been used to buy medicine for her, and all the quilts in the house have been used to cover her. There is really nothing we can do."
Song Yuehua comforted him, "Tell Wang Xiaoye that I want it, and ask her to find a man to carry the coal here. The road is slippery now, so don't fall."
Mother Feng took the silver and went out. Song Yuehua went back to the room and talked to Xiao Cui, "Take good care of yourself and don't think too much about other things."
"Boss, the Hu family said they want to divorce me," Xiao Cui said softly, "I am a little happy, really."
Song Yuehua looked at her for a long time, but no one asked the questions she wanted to ask.
"You are still young and have plenty of opportunities to survive. It is still not a good idea to divorce. When you feel better, come back to me. I will ask the head of the village to talk to the Hu family and see if a divorce is possible."
Xiao Cui said softly, "Thank you, Master."
When Song Yuehua came out of the house, Feng's father hunched over and handed her a piece of paper.
"What's this?"
Song Yuehua took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a promissory note.
"I will never forget the young lady's kindness, and I will return the money as soon as possible." Father Feng said.
Song Yuehua nodded and accepted the IOU.
After returning home, Song Yuehua took out the box of gold bars and put it in her arms, and then she had to go to the Ji family again.
