Chapter 618 Thin like a skeleton

   Chapter 618 Thin like a skeleton

  Wei Meng looked at Liu Sanniang: "Sister Liu, are you sleeping well? I don't snoring, did I kick you? It shouldn't be, I'm very well behaved, right?"

  Wei Meng asked several questions in a row, Liu Sanniang smiled and replied, "No snoring or kicking."

   Wei Meng smiled playfully: "Hey, I'll just say it."

  Wei Meng sniffed and said, "Sister Liu, you smell so good, you smell so comfortable, I think I don't want to get up when I fall asleep, no - I have to go to the thatched hut first--"

  It was inconvenient all night, Wei Meng felt uncomfortable at this moment, got out of bed in a hurry, and ran out before she could say a word.

   Liu Sanniang got up to wash up, and Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu also came back.

   "Sir, last night was calm and nothing happened."

   Xia Qiluo asked all the beautiful women in Beijing to go to the Princess Mansion, where they were heavily guarded, and she, Xia Qiluo, sat directly in town.

  Lin Shuran also went, dozens of beautiful young women, worried all night, but from dark to dawn, nothing happened.

   And several armies searched and failed to find the burnt person. The city gate was heavily guarded, and the people only knew to arrest someone.

  Chu Yan came out of the kitchen with a gentle expression: "Eat first."

   Chu Yan didn't care about how heavily guarded it was outside. He only cared about one person. He only knew that she was not in good health and needed nourishment and rest.

   But obviously there is no such time, all he can do is to make every meal extremely nutritious, so that she can eat it and be nourished.

  No bad news is good news. After Liu Sanniang drank the soup and ate the meat, she rested in the yard and painted talismans.

Not long after, Su Yanyu also came. Seeing how lucky Liu Sanniang was, he went up to help Liu Sanniang grind the cinnabar: "Master, it would be great if I could also draw talismans. Now those people in Beijing can quickly get a talisman. It's sold for a sky-high price, and those with a slightly better family are willing to pay a few hundred taels to buy a talisman."

  Wei Meng was so embarrassed while listening: "My father said that I only give Sister Liu 12 taels every month..."

  Assisting in the investigation or something, listening now, I feel guilty.

  Liu Sanniang is no worse than those people with a talisman.

  Wei dreamed of the talisman paper that Liu Sanniang had entrusted to her, and suddenly felt that she was carrying a treasure.

  Wei dreamed that her father had never mentioned anything about money, and suddenly felt even more guilty. If her father knew that a talisman was so valuable, he would be even more embarrassed...

  Su Yanyu is also ashamed, for 12 taels a month, his master's ability should be at least a hundred taels, right? There are too many, and the innocent place in Xuanyi Mansion can't be taken out.

  Liu Sanniang ticked the corner of her mouth, her hand to draw the talisman was as steady as a mountain, and she made a single stroke in one go.

  Su Yanyu touched his head: "I'll go out to see if there is any news."

   The current capital is the most tense, people from all prefectures are running to find out news.

   It was a quiet night, nothing happened.

   The ladies in the Princess Mansion also all left the Princess Mansion, got on the carriage, and returned to their home.

   Palace is also divided into two factions.

The Queen    distributed the talisman paper drawn by Xia Qiluo.

   There were even some talisman papers that were compared and found that they were all the same, so they returned what Concubine Xian sent back.

The    talisman paper was returned, and Concubine Xian was not annoyed, so she directly sent it out of the palace, and asked the third prince to take it to give away, and Concubine Xian also sent some precious medicinal materials to Liu Sanniang's courtyard.

   During the day, the ladies are always accompanied by maids, and they do not leave anyone when they go to the thatched hut.

   In the evening, he sent him directly to the Princess Mansion to stay with Xia Qiluo.

   After searching the private house, he began to search for the official house. A seriously ill person who was burnt could not hide no matter what.

   A group of soldiers knocked on a house and looked at the silver-haired old woman and said, "The government is searching for prisoners. The old lady is not in good health, so you should stand aside."

Mother Liu walked away slowly, with a gentle smile on her face: "God, just search, the old lady doesn't have any prisoners here, please handle it with care, don't damage the old lady. Eating for a living."

   The leader of the soldiers listened to this, with a gentle expression and instructed his subordinates: "Be careful, we are soldiers, not bandits."

  Mother Liu followed and walked in. The house was not big, with two entrances to the yard, some vegetables and fruits were grown in the outer yard, and a lot of cloth and cotton were hanging in the inner yard.

Inside   , a man stood up with low eyebrows, holding an unfinished puppet in his hand.

  The soldiers picked it up and looked at it. It was some puppets of little tigers and puppies, stuffed with silk wool, but it looked good.

Mother Liu explained with a smile: "Orphans and widows, there is nothing you can do. It's not easy to make a living in Beijing, so you can only make a living with some gadgets. If the official likes it, just take a few and give them to the children at home. already."

   The searched soldiers also returned, and said to the leading soldiers: "No abnormality."

The    soldier smiled and put the things down: "No, if you go to the street to sell someday, I will buy some from you."

   At this time, taking other people's things is not like bandit behavior.

  The soldier looked at the man: "Your son is a little thin and thin. If it is really difficult, he can send it to the military camp. After all, he will have enough to eat. After training in the military camp, he will not be so thin."

  The soldier stretched out his hand and patted the man, and left with his men.

   But the voice of his muttering came over: "This is too thin, like a skeleton..."

  Mr Liu had a gentle smile on her face, and she kept sending the soldiers and men out.

   When he got to the door, the soldiers turned back: "Old lady, you can really consider my proposal. Your son is not very old, and it is just the time to grow his body, so don't starve his body."

  Mother Liu nodded with a gentle smile: "Thank you for your kindness, I will consider it."

  Mother Liu slowly returned to the house.

   Outside, the soldier asked his subordinate:

   "Is there anything unusual just now?"

   The subordinate shook his head: "Nothing unusual, just found some unburned silk wool and cloth in the kitchen, probably because the puppet made by this old woman was not satisfied and broke."

   "People in Beijing are picky and don't want anything broken. Make a note of this place and come and see it often, lest the two mothers and sons starve to death in it."

   The soldiers ordered, and the subordinates responded with a yes, and continued to search for the next family.

   Mother Liu returned to the house and saw that Liu Shun had taken off her clothes, her eyes were sore with tears: "My son."

   Liu Shun looked indifferent: "Mother, come and help me, there is too little cotton in it, it doesn't look normal."

Mother Liu wiped away her tears and walked over, picked up the silk wool on the side, stuffed cotton wool from the skin that Liu Shun's belly had peeled off, and then took a wooden stick and stabbed it inside. It hurts, even if my son doesn't feel the pain now, but she, being a mother, feels distressed.
