"In the spring of eighteen years ago, not long after March 3rd, Boss Ao from the north said that this female doll was too smart to be sold, so he kept it for two months before finally sending it to me...
"
The March Three Song Festival in Lingnan is held on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar every year.
The spring of eighteen years ago...
Eighteen years ago in the spring, during the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Dongfang’s daughter was lost on the busy street.
March 3rd, two and a half months have passed since the Lantern Festival.
Mrs. Dongfang trembled and covered her mouth, trying not to cry.
Ren Yazi Erpi and Mr. Xiong still don’t understand: the girl that Boss Ao sold to Erpi and then Erpi sold to Boss Xiong is the child of a noble family here!
There's trouble!
Erpi had a bachelor's temperament and was well-informed. He knew that he could not offend any of these people, so he immediately knelt down and knocked his head loudly.
"Dear nobles, in our industry, there is no way to confirm that everyone's origins are innocent, but I have never treated anyone who has dealt with me harshly. Please have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me..."
This is a wise saying: Although I have done something wrong, I have never treated her harshly, and I didn’t know she was your family member. The crime is not punishable by death!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Master Xiong: Chun Niang was thrown away by him!
Mr. Xiong lost his face: What is there that you still don’t understand now?
But he really didn't expect it! If he had known that Chun Niang's life experience was so shocking, he wouldn't have thrown the child away in the first place!
If he had known that Chun Niang's biological parents could help his incompetent son to prosper in the future, he would have treated Chun Niang as his biological daughter and cherished her in his hands...
However, no one in the world would have known earlier.
Mr. Xiong knelt down in front of Zhao Xiang with a mournful face: "My lord, I did make a mistake. After I gave birth to a biological child, I saw my wife raising two children by herself, and I was always afraid that my biological child would suffer.
, I suffered, so..."
Now, it is understood: Chun Niang did come from the north, and the time is roughly right...
Zhao Xiang sent the people away and then asked Ah Qiu to invite Chun Niang.
When Chun Niang came over, she was still wearing an apron around her waist.
She knew nothing about what happened this afternoon and felt that she owed Mr. Dongfang one hundred taels of silver. She just wanted to do a good job and return the money to Mr. Dongfang.
So Chun Niang quickly calmed down and went to work in the kitchen conscientiously.
When Ah Qiu called her over with a complicated expression, she refused Ah Qiu's suggestion to take off her apron: "What are you doing? I have to do some work later. It doesn't matter if I wear an apron. That's what I do..."
Ah Qiu didn't know what to say, so he could only let her go and led her to Mr. Dongfang's yard.
"Master, madam, what do you want to eat tonight? Do you want any special dishes?" Chun Niang's expression and tone were very respectful, with obvious gratitude.
Mr. Dongfang and his wife felt more and more sad when they saw Chun Niang's dress and listened to her humble tone.
Mr. Dongfang patted Mrs. Dongfang and said, "Go over with her."
"My child, come with me." Mrs. Dongfang stood up with red eyes and took Chun Niang to the next room.
The waistcoat was placed on the table by the window in Mrs. Dongfang's room.
When Chun Niang saw the waistcoat, she misunderstood again: "But the waistcoat doesn't fit? If there is something inappropriate, just tell me and I will change it for you."
Mrs. Dongfang's eyes became wet again because of her thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness: "Silly boy, how much have you suffered..."
"Madam, I'm fine..." Chun Niang was at a loss for a moment. She mistakenly thought that Mrs. Dongfang felt that she had been bullied by the evil woman in the afternoon and was feeling sorry for herself, so she hurriedly relieved her.
It's just that this kind of behavior of completely considering the other party makes Mrs. Dongfang feel doubly sad!
A child who has just turned 20 years old does not consider himself at all, but only considers others... How wronged he must be!
Seeing Mrs. Dongfang's tears, Chun Niang was even more at a loss: "Madam, I'm fine...I'm really fine...you...don't cry..."
Chun Niang was busy comforting Mrs. Dongfang, but Mrs. Dongfang grabbed her hand and started crying.
Finally, after Mrs. Dongfang calmed down, she asked Chun Niang to show her the birthmark on her shoulder. After reading it, she asked Chun Niang if she still remembered what happened when she was a child...
Chun Niang looked confused: "I don't remember... I only remember my days in the Salesian Home."
"Then have you seen this?" Mrs. Dongfang took out something from the dressing box on the table.
Chun Niang took it, and it was an exquisite nine-link ring inlaid with gold and silver. It looked very old, smooth and patinated, and it was obvious that it had been touched frequently.
"This is...Nine Links?"
"right."
"I have never seen anything as exquisite as this... nor have I ever played with anything like this."
An orphan girl who grew up in a Salesian home often didn’t have enough to eat. Where did she get the toys?!
Chun Niang looked blankly at what was obviously a child's toy in front of her.
But his hand seemed to be disobedient, and for some reason, he just fiddled with it lightly, and the nine-link chain opened easily.
Chun Niang was dumbfounded and looked at the nine separated circles in front of her.
Mrs. Dongfang was also stunned, and then she cried with joy: "Wow! You are my Yuanyuan! You are my Yuanyuan..."
This was a New Year's gift for my daughter when she was over two years old. She liked it very much. After she got the nine-link ring, she loved to figure it out. Because she was very smart and dexterous, she could solve it easily.
Mrs. Dongfang was naturally happy at that time and praised her intelligence and dexterity, so Yuanyuan repeatedly demonstrated to Mr. and Mrs. Dongfang how to solve the nine links...
Mrs. Dongfang later tried it many times, but it was not easy to solve.
This thing requires careful observation and skill.
If it hadn’t been solved repeatedly in the past, most people wouldn’t be able to solve it even if they thought about it seriously...
So, how could Chun Niang, who had never played Jiu Lian Lian before, be able to solve it all at once?!
There is only one possibility, that is, Chun Niang played with it when she was little. She thought she had forgotten it, but her hands remembered it...
Chun Niang's mind went blank. She looked at the old woman in front of her who was shorter and thinner than herself, hugging her and crying. She didn't know what to do.
Why does she call herself Yuanyuan?
Chun Niang has also heard about the old lady losing a daughter. Does this mean she thinks of herself as her lost daughter?!
This is impossible!
Chun Niang waited patiently for Mrs. Dongfang to finish crying, and then she stuttered and explained: "I was thrown at the gate of Xing'an County. I grew up in the Salesian Church in Xing'an County, so my biological parents
It should be someone from near this county. You are from the north, how come your lost daughter is in Xing'an County? How about you go to the Salesian Church in the north to look for her?"
