The clan leader cursed and sighed, but he had no choice but to follow Wang Er and Xiao Yu and leave the Huichun Hall.
As soon as they left, the old doctor from Huichun Hall sighed and said to Su Luo: "The child's head injury is serious, but don't worry, it probably didn't hurt his brain. He is very thin, and his body bones are still good. When he recovers,
Yes, I can help you with a lot of work in the future."
The old doctor was afraid that Su Luo would feel angry after spending ten taels of silver, so he tried to comfort her.
Su Luo responded with a smile: "There are only three of us brothers in my family. The elder two are busy and have no time to take care of the younger one. If I buy him, I can find a companion for the younger one and raise him as my own child."
When the old doctor heard this, he felt relieved and didn't say much. He left them guarding the bamboo in the inner room while he went outside.
Su Zimu lay down next to Xiao Zhuzi's hospital bed and held his hand, "Don't be afraid. You will be with me from now on. If I don't let you suffer all these things, you should get well now."
Su Luo had never asked anything before, but now that she had bought everyone, she had to ask.
"Zimu, tell me the truth. Have you and Xiao Zhuzi known each other before?"
Zimu lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhuzi's face for a while, then turned to look at Su Luo. The child's immature face showed an indescribable sadness.
"I dreamed about him."
Su Luo raised her eyebrows.
Zimu suppressed his voice and said in a low voice: "I dreamed that you became a concubine to the prince of Zhenninghou Mansion. The next year, I was sold by the housekeeper of Zhenninghou Mansion, and they sold me to a theater troupe.
Go inside.
The leader of the opera troupe asked me to learn opera, saying that in a few months it would be the birthday of Marquis Zhenning, and I would go to celebrate his birthday."
As soon as Su Zimu opened his mouth, Su Luo's heart ached.
It was like someone pinched the flesh at the tip of his heart with his fingernails and twisted it hard.
She never expected to hear this.
"Why, how could you dream of this?"
Su Zimu shook his head, with a look of sadness on his innocent face, "I don't know, anyway, it was just a dream. In the dream, I didn't want to learn acting, so they beat me. I couldn't stand it anymore and ran away.
came out.
When they chased me, he was the one who saved me."
Su Zimu glanced at Xiao Zhuzi and held his hand tightly without letting go.
"In the dream, I didn't know who he was, but today in Wangjiacun, I recognized him at a glance. It was him who saved me in the dream. Brother, since we have bought him, he will be a member of our family from now on, and we will treat him
Is he good, okay?"
Su Zimu begged Su Luo.
"Although the dream was fake,... I really feel as if he saved me in my previous life."
Su Luo didn't think so, and just thought it was a nightmare that Su Zimu had because he was afraid of returning to the Zhenning Marquis Mansion. Feeling sour and bitter, he walked over, picked up his brother, and kissed his cheek.
"Don't worry, be good to him. He will also be your brother and my brother from now on. Also, if we don't go back to Zhenninghou's Mansion, we will never go back in this life. Don't be afraid."
As for Zimu saying that the person in the dream was Xiao Zhuzi... Su Luo didn't believe it, but Zimu said it was true. She was willing to keep the person in exchange for Zimu's peace of mind.
As long as the character of the little bamboo is not bad, it will be fine.
Su Zimu smiled crookedly, eyes bright, and nodded, "Okay."
After letting go of Su Zimu and putting him on the ground, Su Zimu went to guard the little bamboo again, and from time to time would moisten his lips with chopstick heads wrapped in white cloth dipped in water.
Su Luo said to Chun Xing: "You stay here and take care of me if you need anything. Just treat it as our own child. I'll prepare the water for sale tomorrow and buy a cotton coat for the child."
The butchers in Chunxi Town will not be able to buy enough for a total of four barrels, so Su Luo has to go to Zhending.
The mule cart was parked outside the medicine hall, and she drove straight to Zhending without even looking back home.
The purchase went smoothly, and when she came back, it was getting dark.
Once I returned to the yard, I was so surprised that I almost thought I had gone to the wrong place.
But I didn't come back for a day.
Not only was the roof of the main house neatly repaired, there was also a bluestone path paved in the yard, which led from the main door to the main house, with a bifurcated road in the middle leading to the side rooms.
From now on, I no longer have to worry about slippery roads in rainy or snowy weather.
Ping An was sweeping the yard. When he saw her coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "Why are you the only one who came back by yourself? Where are they?"
While Su Luo led the mule cart into the courtyard, she mentioned the matter of buying small bamboos in a few words.
Ping An built a thatched shed at the entrance. This place was specially used to park mule carts. From now on, the mules would also have a thatched shed home, so they would not be afraid of the wind and sun.
Throwing away the broom in his hand, Pingan went over to help Su Luo lift the water out of the car and deliver it to the door of the wing.
He had known about Wangjiacun a long time ago, but when Su Luo mentioned it again, he only heard it for the first time and scolded Wang Er for a long time with indignation.
The side room has been completely transformed into a kitchen and a window for selling brine. Ping An moved all the original beds and boxes into the main room.
In the past, Su Luo Chunxing and Su Zimu slept on the same bed, but now there is a little bamboo. Since Su Luo kept the child, she would not treat him badly, and she used money to buy a cheap one.
A bed and two quilts were purchased, along with an Eight Immortals table and some chairs for the central hall.
Except for the bedding, the rest Su Luo bought were second-hand goods that others didn't want, so she didn't spend much money.
She doesn't feel bad spending money like this. This is how she lives her life. As long as the money is coming in every day, she is not afraid of spending it.
There was still business to be done tomorrow, so Su Luo didn't waste much time. She just asked him to have dinner here safely in the evening and then went to wash up.
Ping An cleaned the yard and returned to his home.
When he went back, Xiao Yu was already there.
Ping An washed his hands and stepped forward to report, "I have sent people to keep an eye on Wang Er according to the prince's instructions. I only wait for Wang Er to return to the village and live in the village for a few days before tying him up and bringing him here. This will not happen."
Makes people suspicious.”
Xiao Yu was always at ease when doing things safely and didn't ask any questions.
But peace is not assured, "Is this man really Wang Changmin's younger brother? Wang Changmin used to be an official in Kyoto, but I never heard that he had a family or that he had a son."
Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a biological brother or a biological son. Anyway, what happened six or seven years ago does not have much impact on us now. I only wanted to arrest him because I wanted to know what happened at that time."
What happened? What kind of ginseng was mixed in it?"
Knowing more will always come in handy.
Pingan nodded, "That little Zhuzi was raised by a bastard like Wang Er. Miss Su and the others were soft-hearted and took him in. It's best that the child doesn't cause any trouble."
Xiao Yu thought of what Zimu and Xiao Zhuzi said in Wangjiacun, and also thought of Xiao Zhuzi's head being beaten to a bloody head. Zimu was anxious, and rubbed his fingertips, "It doesn't matter."
Su Zimu can keep it if he wants to. If it is a disaster in the future, nothing else.
