說到這裡，有人叩門而進。原來是小順來了，另外有那叫權叔的老僕，還引來了六爺和一個芳青沒有見過的中年人。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeCufBF6iY
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyebtfNKPtI
如意跟六爺等人寒暄了幾句，便告辭了，和兒也一起退下。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsAqGieqiA
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn2xAbOgMm
房裡只剩小順跟雨兒兩個熟人，另外還有六爺這惡人，難怪芳青馬上變得怯生生的模樣。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qVpg3lylp
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWw6xNsQN
但見那陌生男子年約四十，面如冠玉，作書生打扮。芳青心中想道，這應該便是江玉離吧。果然是人如其畫，一身清風的雅道。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xjtb4Wvmc
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPjWoJ06YI
雖說是叔姪，但跟六爺的模樣沒有半點相似，氣質是文人雅士的書卷氣，跟六爺的生意人模樣差之千里。不過六爺今日也像變了人似的，恭敬乖巧的陪伴在江玉離側旁，絲毫沒有以前的市儈張狂之態。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfYmOFCnVi
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqdcaaWYsd
那權叔忽然跪下，噗通噗通的連連叩頭，叩得額上都流血了，飲泣說道：「楊老太爺待我們恩重如山，我們無以為報，楊家蒙受奇冤，你深受其害，我們來不及相助，實在是罪該萬死。」權叔說完這話，便要再叩頭。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq6PluXQU9
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU27kP9UqY
芳青大吃一驚，連忙勸道：「伯伯，你先起來。有話好好說。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57h8UBYr7L
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFVgpVFuH6
這權叔之前常常冷待芳青，害芳青還以為他看不起自己。原來他是怕會露出馬腳，壞了大事，所以一直不敢跟芳青相認。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2trOS54Wo
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoOlZdb5kh
芳青之前對楊家於江家有恩心說，還半信半疑，現在看見權叔這般激動，便全都相信了。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe1zVUNu1I
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPEiXYdrl4
六爺也扶起了權叔，跟芳青一同勸道：「小菁這會兒還不是好端端的在這兒？」眾人又勸了幾句，六爺便命人扶了權叔出去包紮傷口。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXpZa2v6PH
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BRm9RqULJ
江玉離之前見芳青昏迷不醒，很是擔心，眼下見芳青終於醒了，當然馬上高興得眉開眼笑，也忘了要介紹自己，便激動得摸了摸芳青的頭，道：「小菁，不用擔心，以後我們會好好保護你，不再讓別人欺負你。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7uLQskn6c
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe5tXqkA2Q
芳青給狎弄得多了，看見陌生男人就有點怕，江玉離還要動作親暱，芳青立即便羞得臉紅耳熱了。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCeLHulJ13
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzPJBgMncg
江玉離伸手探了芳青的額，擔心問道：「怎麼還是這般熱？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvt4V6QUnJ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf0D3CtWzi
雨兒馬上辯解道：「公子還在發熱，還沒有退燒吧？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSRBH6gS0x
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNctiFVNLCj
六爺問道：「小雨，你有沒有好好照料公子？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoxu5vtdyP
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKvd5sEb2C
芳青怕連累了雨兒，連忙說通：「雨兒很好，又乖巧又機靈。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr41qkaySq
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVW6xKxnEd
這時，六爺拿出了一紙，揚開了讓芳青細看。但見這是南春院買了芳青的賣身契，紙上清清楚楚的有芳青的畫押，還打了手印。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYPEOgrGia
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR3YD4AUfC
小順在旁送上金盆，又給六爺點了火柴。六爺當場便把賣身契燒了。紙化成條徐徐灰燼，這便還了芳青自由，不再是南春院的芳青了。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiwZ4ADnhu
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqQx3zo1A0
雨兒馬上恭賀道：「恭喜菁公子，你這就是自由之身，不想受人擺弄，以後便可生活得海闊天高、自由自在了。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuTWG1Cdjc

這事之前苦苦力爭但求之不得，眼下卻垂手而得，實在來得太突然了，阿菁只覺有點如夢似幻。心中當然是極高興，但又有點惘然，心中不禁天大地大，何處是容身之處？58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdV3ZoUdC1
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDmDWoP9PN
江玉離連忙勸慰道：「你先好好的休養身子。待身子調理得恢復了，便會帶你回鄉，遠離京城這是非之地。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMMyTSaayt
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbATxjZDQb
阿菁怯怯問道：「我可以這般白白寄住麼？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4li2wNHeVQ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX92DuWksTh
江玉離激動的握了阿菁的手，情真意切的說道：「這當然可以。小菁，你不用害怕。我們兩家素有舊交，楊公又對我們有恩，江家自然會待你如至親子姪。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGi3B0Ihea
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE48KYXiS3
這麼一握手，阿菁臉上便更紅了。阿菁只覺這江玉離有點不通俗務，像是個古怪的才子。雖然如此，他態度卻是誠懇真摯。儘管阿菁非常羞怯，心中卻是異常感激。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnJZxhXvw5
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNVL234voJ
六爺也微笑說道：「伯伯也看過小菁畫的丹青了，覺得小菁很有天份。伯伯還想親自指點小菁畫畫的技巧呢。」說話的語氣恭謹又活潑。 58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcIkgbnVm4
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx3BSWUNfo
阿菁知道自己的畫作竟然入得了江玉離目，受寵若驚道：「江爺謬讚了。」阿菁太累了，又事出突然，腦袋有點混亂，也習慣了把男人都喚爺，竟然把江玉離稱了作爺。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1tzpiOO9b
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI8SoNJ05z
江玉離聽了話，大驚道：「小菁，這太客氣了。叫我伯伯就可以了。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Xs72WOEQ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRMGOzCsUd
六爺附和道：「這就對了。咱們兩家絕不生分。其實，我之前就見過你，那時你還在楊嬸嬸的肚裡。雖然多年不見，我們卻依舊是如親如骨肉的交情。小菁，你以後便叫大伯作伯伯，叫我六哥便行了。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbOSTHd3MO

這時小順端上一碟蘇州特產的點心，但見有松子糖、核桃片、玫瑰糕、糖杏仁。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qbGylOqPw
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt66Wcgb9EP
江玉離馬上要阿菁隨便吃。阿菁不敢違之，挑了一塊，吃得滋味，心情也放鬆了，柔聲問道：「江伯伯？我可以叫你江伯伯嗎？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj7UEkR5ya
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8VjJDUL4t
江玉離聽了，大喜道：「當然可以，當然可以。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPLr8PXt1m
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd26ZanzDpI
阿菁又問道：「江伯伯，我哥哥呢？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOTzu5LadA
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfXcvkeCVz
六爺答道：「他未足十六，發配充軍，我們一定會極力搜尋，你不用擔憂，且慢慢等待消息。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg49xS7td96
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyukPHSycpU
之後小順又喚來郎中。郎中替阿菁檢查身子，見傷已漸漸癒合，便著阿菁好好休養，又說阿菁比同齡的孩子瘦弱多了，又氣虛怯弱；身子受過歪術，容易種了病根，再給江玉離和六爺寫了幾張長高長肉的藥帖，著阿菁添養精神氣血、仔細調理身子。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXjTEekz8H
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvQq7WSAD2
如是者，阿菁在床上休養了幾天，才可以下床。江玉離有空時會來看看阿菁，江六爺倒是完全不見影蹤。阿菁有空閒時，便拿拐杖到處走動閒逛；要是雨兒沒有差事在身，得了雨兒攙扶，就可以走更遠了。ns216.73.216.238da2
