Chapter Seventy-Seven: Peach Blossoms
Qiao Lan, who completely regarded herself as a bystander, thought that she was small, and no one had her own idea, oh, Lu Qingluan was wonderful, how could a **-year-old girl be in love.
Generally, **-year-old girls don't understand emotions, but their parents understand, under their tireless and tireless teachings, seven or eight-year-old girls already know how important it is to marry a good family.
In the corner that Qiao Lan couldn't notice, Chen Zhang was meeting with Chen Shengfu and whispering, okay, she did fall in love with Qiao Lan, who is now Qiao Gongzi, and she was convinced that with her pair of flower-like daughters, she would definitely be able to get Qiao Gongzi's favor. In her eyes, her two daughters can be compared to Empress E.
Chen Zhang's family is not like an ordinary peasant woman, her mother's family is in the town, she has learned some etiquette, righteousness and shame, and she has also raised her two daughters very well, at least not like their cousin Chen Yuezhu, who stepped forward when she saw her son, and there was no shame at all.
Although Chen Zhang's family began to look for a husband for her daughters when they were very young, she also understood the truth that "the more reserved a woman is, the more precious she is", her goal is to let her daughter join the high family as an orthodox wife in a beautiful manner, rather than a lowly concubine, so she does not allow her daughter to move forward, and she herself is extremely polite.
Chen Zhang asked Chen Shengfu to find a way to show his face in front of Qiao Gongzi and say a few words, so that he could come to visit him in the future.
Zhu Lizheng's mother-in-law, Zhu Sun, who was at the next table next door, was also desperately detaining her granddaughter Zhu Wenmei, and all kinds of big truths were explained, so she reluctantly persuaded Zhu Wenmei.
She knew that the one in his family would definitely let her two grandsons, Zhu Wenfan and Zhu Wenchang, come forward to make friends with those two, and if they had a friendship, they would be close to the water in the future, and their granddaughter's family affairs would be much cheaper, which would be better than passing without skin and face now.
Feng Qixiang sat on the chair that Ye Feitian found for him, and asked in a low voice, "To be honest, are you here to make trouble?"
"I have no grudges with the Chen family, what are you doing in a scene?" Qiao Lan asked rhetorically.
"No grievances, no hatred......" Feng Qixiang repeated inexplicably, and then stopped talking.
Patriarch, Li Zheng, Chen Laohan, Chen Shenggui...... People from all sides came out to chat from time to time, and Ye Feitian stood next to Qiao Lan to help her stop those who wanted to come forward.
Feng Qixiang finally couldn't bear it anymore after Zhu Wenmei also appeared, and called Feng Yi.
Feng Yi was not good at appearing like a trick in front of everyone, so he had to leave outside Chen's house, came in through the door, and stood next to Feng Qixiang with an unsheathed knife.
When the banquet was about to start, Yu Dana appeared in a hurry and whispered a few times in Qiao Lan's ear. Qiao Lan's expression became solemn, she quickly got up, confessed a few words, and walked out of the Chen family before most people could react.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Qiao Lan wanted to take off her oil-stained robe, but then Feng Qixiang pushed the car door and came in, asking her to take it off, and it was not okay if she didn't take it off.
"What's going on?" Feng Qixiang asked with concern. Qiao Lan was entangled in whether to take it off or not, ignoring his chatter. "Nothing!"
"It's okay for you to run so fast. Don't hide it from me, I'm willing to help you, don't dislike it. What did your housekeeper tell you? ”
"Mr. Yu told me that it was time to go back to eat. Qiao Lan replied helplessly.
"Don't fool ......" Feng Qixiang's words came to an abrupt end, he looked at Qiao Lan strangely, and then silently clapped his hands and nodded.
Then, Feng Qixiang kept asking Qiao Lan what he meant by going to Chen's house this time, but no matter how he asked, Qiao Lan just wouldn't tell him.
Qiao Lan finally decided to take off her outer robe, take it off in front of Feng Qixiang, and then put on spare clothes.
When Qiao Lan got out of the car, Ye Feitian saw that she had changed her clothes, and his mind immediately opened up, all kinds of associations, looking at Qiao Lan strangely but not knowing how to speak, Qiao Lan hurriedly said that the clothes were soiled in the Chen family, so she had to change her robe.
"Still, the master should pay attention, after all, ......"
"I know, I know!" Qiao Lan hurriedly fled into the backyard.
Qiao Lan went to the small garden to sit after eating, and Chen Yueya was also found by someone she sent to see the moon.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion, and the gems were almost sent over, and they were laid out one by one.
Qiao Lan seemed to inadvertently talk about her going to Chen's house today, Chen Yueya was not interested, and then Qiao Lan talked about Chen Shengli's marriage.
She heard a few days ago that Chen Wang's family had set up a family affair for Chen Shengli to fill a house for a merchant in his forties with children and daughters. This is the family that Chen Wang is looking for to find her most beloved daughter, in her eyes, silver is everything.
"I am at Chen's house today, and I also saw that person, with gray hair and an obscene appearance......" Qiao Lan glanced at Chen Yueya without a trace.
Chen Yueya still looked uninterested, and said with the snacks on the plate, "In the eyes of the old witch, nothing can compare to silver." ”
Qiao Lan stopped talking, Chen Yueya was silent, and the two stopped mentioning the Chen family.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiao Lan got up and told Chen Yueya to go back and rest. Chen Yueya got up sullenly and walked to the front yard.
Qiao Lan walked to the backyard, and only took two steps when a voice sounded behind her, "Is there a way to help her?"
"Huh?" Qiao Lan turned around and looked at Chen Yueya.
Under the moonlight, Chen Yueya looked a little anxious, no longer as plain as before. "Can you help her, don't let her marry that old man......"
"Why do you help her speak?" Qiao Lan knew early on that Chen Yueya had no resistance to the person she should also call her sister-in-law, and she went to Chen's house today to see if Chen Shengli's marriage was true, and whether Chen Yueya would speak for her.
"She ......," Chen Yueya said in a muffled voice, lowering her head, "She left food for me and my mother." ”
"Okay, I got it. Qiao Lan smiled gently, her heart was even less tired of crooking the Chen family, and the grace of a meal could make Chen Yueya remember it in her heart, which showed how deep the Chen family really was in this fire pit.
"That...... My sister-in-law is actually quite good with Wugazi in the village, and my sister-in-law also likes him......" Chen Yueya said hesitantly. Qiao Lan stepped forward and touched her head, "Leave it all to me, as long as you want, I will let her get her wish." ”
On this day, the houses on the West Bank were finally completed, all mud bricks, and they were dry on the day they were completed.
The army couldn't wait to carry the bunk distributed by Yu Dana into the new house, wandering around in a few square meters.
Qiao Lan also assigned a room to Feng Dalang and Second Uncle Lu to facilitate them to supervise the West Bank.
The two craftsmen were very curious about what Qiao Lan wanted to use the pipes laid under the ground in the house, and after pushing each other for a while, they came over to ask Qiao Lan together, and Qiao Lan said in a joking tone that they planned to use it to raise rats. The two craftsmen were dumbfounded.
Qiao Lan had been thinking about the little wolf, and the completion of the house was also a thing worth celebrating, so she asked Fang Xiaoyong to drive back to Wuli Town and bring all the people of the Qiao family to the west bank, except for Ye Feimo and Yang Cong and other eleven people.
Fang Xiaoyong returned to Qiao's house and conveyed the words like this, Ye Feimo felt as uncomfortable as a dog scratching a cat in his heart, what did the master do to take everyone away, as if there was something interesting, but he let himself take someone to stay, what should I do.
Liang Maohua refused to leave the Buddhist hall, let alone go to Qingshan Village, and Mama Lin and Zhang Niangzi volunteered to stay with Liang Maohua. Chen Yueya had no choice but to take someone away.
Two carriages full of people set off from Qiao's house to Daqingshan Village.
Qiao Lan stood on the top of the hill and watched with interest the people below come and go, preparing for her so-called blessing activities.
Each long-term worker was allowed to bring three or two family members to the scene, so there were about a hundred people bustling below.
Six huge bonfires have been set up, and a big fat pig and two whole sheep have been slaughtered, fed, and set aside to be roasted. Some of the big fish in the canal were also fished out, including the perch that Qiao Lan had coveted for a long time. In order to catch the fish, several people chased it from the north end of the canal to the south section, and finally outflanked it before fishing it out.
Perhaps the lively atmosphere on the west bank infected the little wolf, it did not defend the wooden bridge, nor did it go into the mountains to forage for food, but walked around, kept walking through several bonfires, and later, it came to the top of the mountain for the first time, squatted beside Qiao Lan, and looked at the east bank.
Qiao Lan touched the little wolf's head, "Haha, you also know that this celebration is held by me especially for you, don't worry, your master will definitely appear tonight." ”
Ye Feitian was stunned, could what the master said be true, tonight's blessing celebration was actually to let Xie Jinbao's fool come back to see a dog? He didn't ask to understand, because he knew that the master was indeed a person who would do such a thing.
Suddenly, the sitting wolf stood up, barked at the east bank a few times, and then rushed down the hill quickly......
Qiao Lan said to Ye Feitian with a smile, "Look, I'm right." Xie Jinbao will definitely come back. ”
"But, master, just talk to Xie Jinbao, why bother so much. ”
"It's okay, you see, everybody's laughing. ”
Qiao Lan watched the little wolf fly away, ran to the east coast, ran all the way, and finally jumped to Xie Jinbao. Xie Jinbao couldn't stand the warm welcome of the little wolf, and fell directly from the little donkey cart.
The two wagons drove into the West Bank and did not stop until they were at the bottom of the hill.
Chen Yueya got down from the carriage, and the first thing she saw was Qiao Lan standing on the top of the mountain, she couldn't wait to run up, and the jewel was afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly followed.
"Third brother!" Chen Yueya stood still in front of Qiao Lan and said happily, "This is the first time I have come back to Qingshan Village since I left." ”
"I don't hold you back, you can come back whenever you want, and when spring begins, I will build a house on the west bank, and you can still live here, and if you don't want to live, you can go back to Wuli Town to live." ”
"Great!" Chen Yueya turned her head after speaking, but when she saw the current West Bank, her eyes widened, and she forgot to close her mouth, "This, this ......"
"Very good, right!" Qiao Lan leaned close to Chen Yueya's ear and whispered, "The West Bank is now in my name." ”
"Oh my God!" Chen Yueya asked in a low voice, "Did Master Qiao buy it for you as a dowry?"
"Poof!" Qiao Lan sneered, and then nodded, which can be regarded as responding to Chen Yueya's innocence.
Xie Jinbao also brought the little wolf up, the little wolf also knew Chen Yueya, although Chen Yueya has changed a lot now, but in the eyes of animals, these are floating clouds, especially the spiritual little wolf.
Thanks to the existence of Xie Jinbao and Chen Yueya, Qiao Lan and the little wolf have also become closer, at least what Qiao Lan gave, the little wolf no longer disdains.
