Chapter 35 Meeting Erya by chance
Chi Xia breathed out and saw that the people waiting outside rushed up suddenly. She then sat back in her seat.
The Eighth Concubine didn't react at first. When she came to her senses, she could only agree with a smile on her face to promise that she would be open all day tomorrow to ensure that everyone could buy it. After all, she could squeeze out the crowd.
Yinxiang reminded her: "But Sister-in-law has an amazing memory, so it's best for you to appear in front of her in the future."
"I don't go out in Yuhua Pavilion every day, even if it's a palace banquet... Me, me," Chi Xia said halfway through. She remembered her Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet Skills and said helplessly: "I can't put on makeup at the worst.
.”
She didn't believe that the Eighth Concubine could recognize her if she had double eyelids and had a fake eyelash and a fake nose bridge.
Even if she really feels familiar, she has no evidence.
Yinxiang was also infected by her vitality, and his mood became clearer. He gave her a thumbs up: "There is your farm in front of him."
Chi Xia said "Oh": "Go back to the palace quickly. The emperor has been rushing to spread you in a hurry, so he has no time to go to see the village."
Yinxiang pointed to a little girl on the side of the road: "I didn't ask Ji to go to see Zhuangzi, but I asked you to see that person, does it look like the little girl who sent you candy last time, and her name is Erya."
The sun is about to set, and there are quite a lot of people in Nancheng. The child was dragged by a middle-aged man and walked into the alley.
She kept struggling, but the man ignored her at all. She slapped her on the ground and continued to pick her up and leave.
Chi Xia couldn't bear to see the little girl being beaten like this, so Yinxiang asked someone to come up to negotiate.
After a while, the guard led Erya back: "Prince, that man belongs to the Hualou Building. He said that this little girl was bought back to the building a few days ago, and he also had a contract to sell her body, but this little girl is very polite.
Tai Lie, he sneaked away and was caught by him. This was the second time he ran away. He finally chased after him. He didn't want it anymore. He bought it from him, so he added some money to sell it."
Chi Xia was stunned. This little girl was only seven or eight years old at most and sold to a brothel? Are her parents crazy?
Erya kicked and beaten when she was brought by the guards. When she saw the "aunt" she had seen before, her tears suddenly broke out: "Aunt, aunt, I want to go home! Please save me!"
Xia's clothes were thin, Chi Xia caught her. Seeing that she was not dressed, she found that there was no injury on her body, except for her face, and everything else was green and purple.
The most outrageous thing is that she didn't wear a dress. The clothes on her body were ridiculously large and completely dissatisfied. I don't know who she picked up.
Chi Xia was shocked and picked her up inadvertently. Before she could touch her, she screamed in pain, and blood was printed out from the hem of her clothes.
Yinxiang opened his eyes.
Chi Xia gritted her teeth, found a piece of clothing to wrap her up again, and rushed to her head coldly: "Your parents sold you into a brothel?"
Erya shook her head: "My father and mother asked me to follow the nanny and go to the rich to be a girl. I didn't want to leave them, so I ran away secretly. The nanny beat me and said that I was disobedient and could not be a girl.
, I'll sell me again."
Chi Xia frowned.
Erya is very good at looking at people's faces, and she doesn't know what happened to her.
Seeing her look of displeasure, she timidly pulled her sleeve: "My parents are not bad people. They have no choice but to sell me. It's because I'm not good. I shouldn't not listen to the nanny.
Run away."
Yinxiang looked at her expression: "There are two hours left to go to the palace gate, so I have time to go to the village. Hurry up."
"We, we no longer live in the village. My mother and my aunt are sick and my aunt die. The manager said that this disease might be transmitted, so we would not let us rent land. I gave us a house to pay for it.
.”
Erya pointed to the small bungalow not far away with aggrievedly: "It's there."
Chi Xia nodded, hugged her directly when she went to the place, and pushed the door open and went in.
A pungent smell of medicine made her cough repeatedly.
The old woman who was guarding the medicine jar and boiling medicine was the grandmother they had seen before, peeling broad beans in the yard.
When the old woman saw Erya, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief: "Eya?"
Erya also rushed up: "Grandma, where is my mother? Where is my brother?"
The old woman wiped her tears: "Your mother still can't get up. Your father went to find work. Damao took Xiaomao to dig wild vegetables. How did you come back?"
Erya cried out with a "wow": "I, I ran out, my aunt saved me. Grandma, don't sell me, I can go to work or dig wild vegetables."
The old woman could no longer see clearly. After hearing what she said, she saw the vague figure of the person following behind. She didn't know who the child was talking about, so she just hugged the child and kowtowed: "Miss
It’s a living Bodhisattva. Please bring this child with you, give her some food, and let her be a girl.”
Chi Xia shook her head: "She just wants to stay with her parents."
Erya also kept shook her head: "Grandma, I eat very little, I'm not hungry, really."
The child could not see the innocent and cute bun face a few months ago. He had pale face and thin skin, his round eyes looked even bigger, and his tears fell down.
Chi Xia touched her face in a complicated mood.
"Your family is short of food?" She remembered that the male and female owners of this family were very cautious. They were afraid that the yield of new rice would not be enough and they could not cope with the possible drought. There should be food storage.
The old woman hugged Erya: "Her mother is sick. Some days ago, someone came to collect grain. The price was high. Her father thought that the new grain was coming soon, so he sold all the excess."
Needless to say, the rest.
The new wheat is coming, but the price is ridiculously expensive.
Erya's mother probably heard the movement outside on the bed, struggled to get out of bed, but walked to the door but didn't dare to come out, for fear of infecting other people in the family.
He covered his face and called his daughter: "Erya, is it you?"
Erya limped but ran fast. When she ran to her, she hugged her and cried: "Mom, don't sell me, I won't leave if I starve to death, I want to be with you."
"You kid, it's better to be a girl than to starve to death," the woman also cried: "Are you going to force your father to death?"
Chi Xia didn't know what would happen after she discovered the pain of her daughter.
She couldn't stand it anymore, so she moved all the dry food in the car and asked Yinxiang in a low voice: "Your Highness... can you lend me some money?"
This situation seemed to be no one's fault, but it bent everyone.
Chi Xia's eyes were red, restrained and restrained, so she did not shed tears, but her voice was already crying.
Yinxiang clenched his hands tightly and asked the guards to leave all the dry food and broken silver they carried with him: "Get into the car and go back to the palace!"
In front of the palace gate, Prince Yi's car drove into the Forbidden City.
Yongzheng was already waiting at the door.
