Chapter two hundred and seventy-two flying windfall
"Xiao Suo!" With an angry footsteps, Madam Wang opened the yard door with a 'bang' and roared angrily: "Who are you looking for?"
The woman outside the door let out a 'oh' and took two or three steps back. She wasn't scared by the roar of Madam Wang. She was worried when she looked at the door and didn't take a few steps back. What if she smashed it?
"My surname is Jia, I am here to find Qu Juren's family. Is this the Qu Juren's family?" Jia Ma Zi stepped back and stood still, looked up and down, and asked.
Madam Wang also looked at her. She was about fifty years old and was wearing an indigo silk dress. Her hair was combed in a trace of combed. She used a golden silk bun to hold her hair in a net. She pressed her ears with a square character called "Fu" to press her temples. Her body was straight, and her eyebrows and eyes were kind and noble.
"Yes, yes, yes, you, this lady?" Before Madam Wang could finish looking, she smiled and said, "I can't be more polite."
"I don't dare to be that lady...but is okay?" It seems that Mrs. Jia knows nothing about Quju.
"Okay, okay! There is also a big girl, big girl is better, are you?" Madam Wang held the door frame and blocked the door tightly. She was just polite and forgot to invite Mrs. Jia to come in. It took a long time since there was such a noble person coming to their house.
"Amitabha, madam... and a big girl..." Jia Ma's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and she began to recite the Buddha and Bodhisattva. Madam Wang's eyes widened.
"I finally found my wife, I have to..." Jia Ma Zi wiped her tears of excitement, "Kowtow to the wife a few times, and there is also a girl, God has eyes."
"Please come in quickly, please come in!" Madam Wang finally reacted and hurriedly let her go aside. Seeing that this noble man was like this, there was something good about it!
The movement at the door had already alarmed Miss Qu. Jia Ma stepped into the door and saw Miss Qu lifting the curtain with one hand, leaning against the door frame, looking at the gate of the courtyard with one foot inside and outside.
"Is this a big girl?" Jia Po Zi looked at Miss Qu with an excited expression and wiped her tears. "The big girl's appearance is exactly the same as the master. At first glance, she looks like... Big girl, I kowtowed to you!"
Mrs. Jia didn't mind the dirty ground, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Get up quickly... get up quickly." Miss Qu was startled and wanted to help her in panic. She loosened her hand and hit the curtain on her face. She brushed the curtain and suddenly shrank back halfway. What did she say just now? Old slave? Is her slave?
"Xiao Suo, help this nanny get up." Miss Qu took a step back and told Xiao Suo that before Xiao Suo came out, Madam Wang had already helped Jia Pozi up, "Look at you... Oh, this clothes! Look at this, this is the best silk, you look at this clothes..."
Madam Wang touched Mrs. Jia and knelt on two stained skirts, feeling extremely distressed.
"Madam, are you okay? I have to kowtow to the lady." Jia Ma looked very excited, "The big girl is so good! She is as beautiful as a flower, and she is so noble... If the master sees the big girl so good... The master's life is miserable, the big girl is also... the big girl, I can see you..."
Mrs. Jia wiped her tears hand in hand and burst into tears.
"Who is it? It's your father..." When the Qujuren's wife Wu heard the movement, she groped out. When the Jia Ma Zi saw Mrs. Wu, she screamed in pain, "Madam! Are you... what's wrong with you? Your eyes...Madam! It's all my fault for Lao Nu, Lao Nu is late!"
Mrs. Jia knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Where is the master? Is the master still alive? Is the master still alive?" Mrs. Wu's voice could not be said to be shrill or surprised, and her face flushed.
"Madam," Jia Mama was crying and looked up at Mrs. Wu, "The master has been gone for a long time. Old slave... It's Old slave who is back."
There was a big cart parked at the entrance of the Qu family's yard, and there were crying in the yard. Neighbors surrounded the three floors inside and three floors outside to watch the fun.
After finally being excited and calmed down, Jia Pozi ordered the coachman to move four or five boxes of all sizes into the yard and send the coachman away. Madam Wang closed the yard door. Jia Pozi sat down and began to tell her origin.
According to Jia Pozi's account, her husband is a small businessman in the sea goods business in Nanyang. One year she and her husband went to the capital for sale and were framed and arrested. It was Mr. Qu who saved her and her husband. The couple had no choice but to repay their kindness, so they joined Mr. Qu as slaves. Seeing that Mr. Qu was short of money, he asked Mr. Qu to provide advice, arranged some capital, got on a sea boat, and wanted to sell some pearls and spices back.
Who knew that the boat encountered a storm halfway and the couple wandered to Nanyang. A few years later, her husband contracted a plague and died of illness. She suffered for several years and finally met the sea boat that was willing to take her back. After a few years, she returned to the capital, and realized that Mr. Qu had long been gone. She inquired along the way and took more than a year to find Qingyang Town, and found his wife and the eldest girl.
"What about the capital? Didn't you bring some jewelry and spices back? What's in this box?" Miss Qu's eyes shone brightly, and before she could finish her speech, she asked impatiently.
"How can I still have the capital? The big girl has never seen the storm on the sea. If she survives, it is the blessing of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. She brought some jewelry and spices. I worked everywhere in Southeast Asia and saved some money. When I found the boat, the spices were cheap, so I bought all the spices. When I arrived in the capital, I saw that the spices were very good, so I sold them. A total of 3,100 taels of silver were sold, and they were exchanged for the silver notes of Fulong, all in this box."
Mrs. Jia pointed at a small red painted box.
"Three thousand taels!" From Miss Qu to Mrs. Wu, and Madam Wang, they screamed in dismay.
"I have no ability, only three thousand taels." Jia Pozi looked very regretful and guilty. "These boxes are all old things of Mr. Qu, and they are stored in my friends in the capital. I took them all back this time. Madam... Oh, Madam's eyes... let's take care of it. This was the one who sealed it by the master himself. Madam... Poor Master, Poor Madam, Madam, Madam is so good..."
Jia Po Zi wiped her tears again, and Miss Qu's eyes were full of energy. She turned around the boxes. She had no time to care about Jia Po Zi and anything else. "Xiao Suo, move these boxes into my house and I will take care of my father."
Mrs. Jia hurriedly stood up and moved all the boxes into Miss Qu's house with Xiaosuo.
