"Mother, did you sell Xian'er?"
Cui Zhongyuan asked loudly.
The confused old lady Cui finally came to her senses and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I sell Xian Ge'er?"
The family is poor, and only the eldest grandson can study, which is already biased.
But how could she do such a thing as betraying her grandson?
When Cui Yu heard this, she stopped crying suddenly.
The rest of the Cui family members who were terrified also breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Cui Xian guessed that this butler should have been sent by "Big Brother".
It seems that the calls of "Big Brother" those days were not in vain.
Cui Xian looked at his mother who was protective of her, and at his father who was standing in front of him.
Looking at Cui Yu who knelt in front of his grandmother at the first opportunity and would rather be "sold" in exchange for his younger brother, he felt warm in his heart.
Thank you for fulfilling all my beautiful fantasies of a warm little home.
It turns out that this is home and family.
very nice.
And such a beautiful home——
How could Cui Xian, who was an orphan in his previous life, just watch it become increasingly poor, dominated and tortured by suffering?
After traveling through time, the only thing that still bothered him was who he was.
But from today, from this moment on, Cui Xian thought, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Let the cause and effect of past lives go with the wind.
From then on, he was Cui Xian from Hexi Village and Cui family.
He will continue the glory of his ancestors and shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring the Cui family.
Figured this out.
Cui Xian was like a rootless duckweed, but he found an anchor to take root in the Daliang Dynasty in this strange time and space.
Then he became more lively, with smiles in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
I saw that the family was still in a daze.
Cui Xian gently reminded: "There is probably some misunderstanding. Why not ask Pei's housekeeper to come in and ask carefully."
Yes, yes!
Please come in and ask and everything will be clear.
Aunt Lin slapped her head and said, "I'll go open the door."
As a result, when the door opened, the entire Cui family was shocked.
Because the steward of the Pei Mansion came to visit and brought gifts.
A whole truckload of gifts!
Rice, flour, pork, eggs, live chickens and ducks, lard... filled an entire truck.
There are even two rolls of fine, shiny and smooth cloth!
The Cui family has been really poor in these years.
Therefore, this car full of gifts has a strong impact on people.
The Lin family members were stunned, their eyes staring at the things in the car, their hearts beating hard.
What does this mean?
A gift for the Cui family?
No...I can't!
The result is the next moment.
The old butler was seen leading two servants to pull the cart of generous gifts into the Cui family's yard.
The old housekeeper first nodded politely to Mrs. Lin who opened the door, then looked at Mrs. Cui and said with a smile: "It is really rude to come to your house without any hesitation. This is a small gift specially ordered by the master to be prepared for your house. Please accept it."
Ouch, my dear mother!
Is this considered a 'small gift'?
Lin was amazed when she heard this, and the Cui brothers, Chen and others were also very envious.
But no matter how greedy they were, no one offered to accept it.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. From what the old butler said just now, it seems that it is aimed at Xian Ge'er.
Old Madam Cui looked away from the 'ceremonial car' with difficulty, and said to the housekeeper of Pei Mansion with a bitter smile: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We are a poor family with little food and clothing. This car of things can't be called a 'small gift' for us."
"But as the saying goes: no merit, no reward. We cannot accept these gifts. Please take them back."
"Also, I want to ask, you mentioned Xian Ge'er just now, but did my grandson offend anyone in your house because he is so young? If he really did something wrong, I would definitely discipline him behind closed doors..."
The old lady spoke politely.
On the surface, he seemed to be belittling his own grandson, but in fact, every word he said was to protect him.
Because the other party claimed to be from Pei Mansion.
Old Mrs. Cui had naturally heard of the Pei family in Nanyang, a family with two successful candidates in the imperial examination.
But what shocked the entire Cui family was this.
Hearing what Old Lady Cui said, the old housekeeper's face suddenly changed, and he explained in panic: "No, no, no, Old Lady, you misunderstood! Young Brother Cui Xian did nothing wrong, he is fine!"
"Not only my young master, but also my old lady, including everyone in the Pei Mansion, are grateful to Brother Cui Xian. It's also our fault for coming here so suddenly. Please don't blame Brother Cui Xian!"
ah.
ah?
These words stunned the whole family, including Mrs. Cui.
They looked at Cui Xian in disbelief.
Cui Xian blinked and looked at his family members innocently.
The old butler continued speaking.
"A few days ago, my young master and Cui Xian hit it off right away and had a lot of fun playing together. After returning home, he kept thinking about Cui Xian."
The old housekeeper spoke sincerely: "So, the old lady asked me to prepare a carriage and gifts to come to your house, and she wants to invite young brother Cui Xian to come to the mansion and be a book boy and playmate with the young master."
"Please rest assured. Our old lady has specifically asked us not to sign a contract to sell ourselves or a contract to hire. All we have to do is move in and I will pay you 500 coins a month."
Five hundred coins a month?!
The three women of the Cui family worked very hard weaving cloth for two or three months, but they might not be able to earn even 500 coins!
Xian Ge'er is only eight years old, but someone is already offering him a monthly salary of 500 wen!
He even prepared a large car full of gifts and came to invite us personally!
The Cui family was stunned.
Cui Xian was also a little surprised - he really didn't expect that his elder brother would be so generous.
Not only did I receive a gift, I also found a job and had food and lodging provided.
