Chapter 39: The Back Road

Hongzhu knew that the matter was urgent at the moment, and ran in as soon as she turned around. Aunt Gu stomped her feet on the spot, sighed for a while, and finally followed Hongzhu into the courtyard. Hongzhu listened to the movement, looked back at her, and smiled apologetically.

"You hurry up, leave me alone. Aunt Gu hurriedly said, rubbing her hands and staying in the yard to look and wait.

Hongzhu entered the hall, thought about it, and first patted the door of the west room to call Zhu Guida and Jiang. She was anxious, and the movement of knocking on the door was quite loud, and after a while, Zhu Guida and Jiang Shi had a sound, and even Zhu Sanbao was woken up by the knock on the door, and was crying.

"Uncle, are you up?" asked Hongzhu in a loud voice.

"What are you doing noisy early in the morning......" Jiang complained inside, and whispered to his younger son.

Zhu Guida guessed that Hongzhu came to call the door early in the morning, there must be something big, and he didn't care about Jiang's situation, he hurriedly put on his clothes and came over to open the door, "Hongzhu, what's wrong?"

Hongzhu didn't dare to delay, and calmly repeated what Aunt Gu said.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Miscellaneous...... Zhu Guida was shocked when he heard the whole person, his face turned pale, and his hand holding the door frame was trembling.

In the house, the Jiang family was originally coaxing with Sanbao on the side of the bed in his coat, but he didn't come over, but he couldn't help but ask in horror when he heard a sentence and a half sentence here: "You, you...... What nonsense!" She hugged Sanbao and walked over, her eyes were extremely sharp, and she looked straight at Hongzhu.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I'm not talking nonsense. Hongzhu was looked at by her like this, and couldn't help but feel timid, and didn't look at her, but only said to Zhu Guida seriously: "Aunt Gu is still in the courtyard, uncle can ask her." ā€

When Zhu Guida heard this, he frowned, raised his foot and walked around her, almost tripping over the threshold. Hongzhu knew that he was panicking, but he couldn't comfort anything.

And over there, Jiang Shi was still staring at Hongzhu tightly, and even Zhu Sanbao was crying and struggling in her arms, but she didn't care to comfort her.

Hongzhu wanted to leave like this, but seeing that Jiang was stunned, Zhu Sanbao couldn't bear to cry breathlessly, and asked, "Auntie, I'll hug Sanbao, right?"

Jiang Shi came back to his senses suddenly, only to realize that he had hugged his son too tightly, and Zhu Sanbao was uncomfortable. She was stunned, answered vaguely, and reached out to hand her son to Hongzhu. Then, as soon as he turned around, he put on his clothes and buns, put on his shoes on the ground, and trotted out into the yard.

Seeing her like this, Hongzhu just sighed.

Sanbao, the fat boy, had just woken up, and he didn't wear all his clothes, so he was just wrapped in a small quilt by Jiang's casually, and he was afraid that he would freeze him as soon as he struggled outside, so Hongzhu could only carry him to the house. In fact, Hongzhu's heart is also a little chaotic right now, and she can't think of any way to go out, holding Zhu Sanbao warmly and softly, I feel that my heart is still real.

She looked at his red little round face, and coaxed him while tossing him: "Don't cry, Sanbao wants to sleep, sleep, it's good to fall asleep......" Sanbao sobbed and hit Hongzhu's face with a fat hand, shouting: "Bad!"

Hongzhu deliberately bit his hand lightly with a mouth, "Well, there are bad people outside, Sanbao sleep obediently." The child was dozing off, and Hongzhu held him for a while, and then he fell asleep again. When he fell asleep in a daze, Hongzhu dared to gently put him back on the bed and lay down, and he was worried that he would wake up, so he didn't go far.

Through the half-open door, I saw that Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Yanmei in the east room were awake and gathered in the hall, and Zhu Guida also invited Aunt Gu to come in and sit down and talk.

Aunt Gu didn't have much to say, but she repeated Fang Cai's words, and then said to Mrs. Zhu: "Old lady, everyone has been neighbors for so long, and I have also watched Biyun grow up, and she has to call her Auntie, I really feel sorry for her." I am also not used to seeing snobs such as the Deng family, so I came to inform you as soon as I heard the news...... According to Dr. Gu, the Deng family even came to the doctor for treatment was detained for a long time, and the boss complained, your Biyun still made plans early, I am afraid that someone will splash dirty water when I make trouble! Alas, this is all a difficult thing to argue......" After she finished speaking, her face showed a little pity, and after all, she remembered her stall, and then said goodbye and left.

Yesterday was still preparing for the marriage, but today the person is dead, this matter is like a thunderbolt from the sky, and several members of the Zhu family are shocked.

Old Lady Zhu sat on it for a while without moving, sighed, and said, "Guida, you go to someone to ask for details first......

Zhu Guida frowned, nodded in agreement, and before he got up to go out, Jiang Shi was already pale and rushed to say, "What do you need to ask? How dare others joke about this." He's dead, then Deng Jinyu is dead!"

No one could refute her words, so she heard Jiang Shi say blankly: "My Biyun, what can I do with my Biyun?"

Hongzhu saw that they were discussing, and it was not easy to go out like this, so she stayed in the west room and listened.

Old Mrs. Zhu was stubborn, glared at Jiang, and only said: "What's this? If you die, you will die, you don't want to end this family business, and you had a lot of trouble with me before." It's good now, it's a hundred. This person is dead, I don't believe they dare to come to the door to make trouble!" After a pause, he sighed again, and said, "When this matter is over, I will find a good family for Biyun." ā€

Even Mrs. Zhu didn't have much confidence in what she said, and it only made people feel uneasy when she heard it.

Jiang Shi softened his body, leaning on the chair and crying, "I said earlier that this family was going to retire...... Zhu Guida went to help Jiang sit down, but he had nothing to say.

For a while, there was no one in the hall to speak, and Hongzhu came out pretending to have nothing to do at this time, and was seen by Mrs. Zhu at a glance.

"Go and see your Sister Biyun!" Old Lady Zhu was not interested in scolding her at the moment, and said with a wrinkle.

Hongzhu obediently responded, and when she went to the yard, she saw that the Li family had already gotten up, and was washing the white rice she had just thrown away by the well, so she hurried over and said to her, "Mother, that Deng Jinyu is dead." ā€

The Li family just happened to bump into Aunt Gu and went out, although he didn't talk deeply, but he had already gotten this word, and nodded when he heard the words, but his expression was still a little dazed.

Hongzhu shook her hand vigorously and gave her a reassuring look.

Li sighed: "It's really providence to make people do evil." He looked at the red beads and said, "I'm fine, you go and see Biyun." ā€

Hongzhu turned around and went to Zhu Biyun's room, she just wanted to knock on the door, but before she could move, the door opened, and Hongzhu was pulled in. Hongzhu shouted in surprise, and then she saw clearly that the person who pulled her was Zhu Zilan, so she complained: "What are you doing, you want to scare people to death?"

"If only you Cheng Hongzhu were so timid!" Zhu Zilan said sarcastically, and then leaned into her ear and whispered, "Are people really dead?"

Hongzhu was surprised, and looked inside the room first, but saw that the tent on the bed was still half placed, and Zhu Biyun was still lying inside, thinking that he hadn't woken up yet.

Zhu Zilan said worriedly: "She cried for a long time yesterday, and she fell asleep until dawn." ā€

Hongzhu looked at her face and found that Zhu Zilan's eyes were faintly blue, which showed that she hadn't slept well yesterday. Also, these two sisters are in the same room, one is not appropriate, and the other can sleep soundly. She sighed and whispered, "It's dead......

"That'...... My sister has become a widow?" Zhu Zilan was surprised for a while, suddenly sighed, her face was full of irritability, and she said after a while: "Or, we hide it from her?"

Hongzhu was a little strange to see her like this, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you dislike the Deng family......?" You're not happy?"

"Are you happy to be dead?" Zhu Zilan rolled her eyes and glared at her, "What kind of heart are you?"

Hongzhu snorted, so as not to give her a light yƬ, and only said, "You know that this is not what I asked." She raised her eyes and gestured to Zhu Biyun's end, "Aren't you thinking about letting your sister go to climb the high branches? Now that she won't marry the Deng family, you should be very happy." ā€

Zhu Zilan pursed her lips and snorted before she said softly, "So what? She will be sad." ā€

Hongzhu never wanted to hear this sentence from Zhu Zilan's mouth, is she still afraid that Zhu Biyun will be sad......? It's quite unusual. Hongzhu didn't know what to say, so she could only stare at each other.

The two stayed in the room for a while, Zhu Zilan couldn't help it, opened the door and wanted to go out, and Hongzhu glanced at the room and saw that Zhu Biyun hadn't moved, so she also went out with her. When I walked into the courtyard, I heard another commotion in the hall.

I could only hear Jiang Shi say angrily: "...... Why, you still come to lie to me now, who doesn't know who the third master Xun is!

Hongzhu and Zhu Zilan looked at each other, and walked together, but somehow it was the same as before, and the two quietly walked to the door and stood outside, listening carefully to the movement inside.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Sister-in-law, don't worry. Zhu Yanmei's voice was very pleasant, she was obviously accused by the Jiang family, but she smiled unhurriedly, "I think my sister-in-law has misunderstood me, I Zhu Yanmei don't say that I am a good person, but I can't do the trick of coaxing my relatives! Biyun is my niece, can't I still sell her?"

Jiang sneered, "That's a nice thing to say! Earlier, you said that the third master of the Zhao family, I didn't know the details, so I felt that it was inappropriate, so I refused immediately." Do you dare to mention it now? I've inquired about it. Let's not talk about marrying the second room, let's just say that those warblers and swallows in that person's room are really a powerful ghost! ā€

Hongzhu outside was stunned when she heard it, this was the first time she had heard this so-called Zhao family's family affairs clearly, and she couldn't help but be a little curious. But when I hear it, it really doesn't look like a good family.

Zhu Yanmei said with some grievances: "Sister-in-law, I don't just say good things about him. Naturally, people also have a shortcoming, if this Xun Sanye says that it is a little bad, it is a little more affectionate, and there are several people in the room. ā€

When Jiang Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, and said hatefully: "You also don't know well! Such a person, you still tell Biyun! What is your reasoning?"

Zhu Yanmei explained helplessly: "I didn't want to hide it, so why did you scold me." The third master of Xun has this problem of greedy flowers and lust, but one is that he doesn't go to the pickled place to mess around, and the other is not to bully men and women outside, but he has a few more concubines and maids in his own family, if you really want to talk about it, which son of a rich and noble family is not like this? If you want me to say, he is like this, most of it is also for the heirs. Even those who know only laugh at it, but they don't have to criticize him. ā€

After a pause, she smiled lightly and said, "Mother, do you say this is the truth? If the eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't agree before, I didn't mention it." But the current situation is not ordinary, if the Deng family comes to the door, they will talk about Biyun Kefu's matter and say, Biyun Keke has really been delayed, not three or two years, where can I get married?" and said: "I went out yesterday, but I saw Sister Zhou, the companion of Second Mrs. Zhao, and the eldest brother didn't respond, and I didn't dare to say anything lightly...... But after small talk, she is quite enthusiastic about our family's affairs, and I think there is a lot to be done if you really want to marry this family. ā€

In fact, when Zhu Yanmei used this matter to persuade Mrs. Zhu before, Mrs. Zhu was moved, but it was not good to be a concubine after all, and her mind was not very firm. That day, when she saw that her son and daughter-in-law refused, she didn't respond. But now that Deng Jinyu is dead, Biyun is such a widow, it is not certain whether he can find a good relative.

Old Mrs. Zhu had several thoughts in her heart, this is the Zhao family, the Tong'an Zhao family's family lineage! This is ...... I can't help but be unmoved by Mrs. Zhu. She couldn't get used to seeing Jiang's appearance, and scolded with a cold face: "This is not good, that is not good, you are a mother, but you are looking for a good one for your daughter!

Slowing down, she said with a straight face: "This marriage is not just a man, if his family is that there are rules, there is no big mistake, he is not good, and there are also his parents who are pressed to teach, there is always a good time for him...... On the contrary, if you look at the Deng family you chose, you only look at Deng Jinyu, but he is a blessed one, and what kind of conduct do the rest of his parents have? It's good to have nothing to do, and if you have anything, you will rely on others! You should also think about it for me now, are you the only one who is Biyun? Yesterday it was like that, and Bo Xiu was also affected by you, and he had no face! Don't talk about the future, just think about the stable life of the Zhu family, and act steadily and take the overall situation into account!"

Hongzhu heard Mrs. Zhu's words, and her heart was cold, and Zhu Zilan was stunned, and whispered next to her: "It seems that we are going to be in-laws with the Zhao family." ā€

Hongzhu didn't hear whether she was happy or mocking, but she felt that it was not a taste in her heart. Why did he encounter an accident with the Deng family, the Jiang family was able to refuse once before, and now in such a situation, it can refuse a second time. Didn't think about it...... The Zhao family's family affair was really done for Zhu Yanmei.

In fact, she should have thought of it a long time ago, her aunt Zhu Yanmei was high-spirited, since she dared not to take care of the New Year in her own house a year ago, but went back to her parents' house to propose that marriage for no reason, she was sure in her heart and tried every means to complete it. What else did I say that I saw Sister Zhou of the Zhao family yesterday, I am afraid that I have already hooked up.
