Chapter 15: Valuation

Hongzhu didn't know what to do for a while, and she didn't dare to step forward in such a situation, so she quickly got out of the crowd and walked back to the back door into the courtyard. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Li walking back and forth with a anxious face, thinking that because of her work, her sleeves were rolled up twice, and she didn't even bother to clean up, so it was obvious that she was frightened by the situation outside.

Hongzhu immediately called out to her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shi looked happy when he looked back at her, but soon became more anxious, came over and pulled her and said, "Hongzhu, hurry up and go into the house, something happened outside!"

Hongzhu was pulled by her to trot two steps before she could speak, and the old lady Zhu in the hall came out, stood on the stone steps with a cold face and said, "What's going on outside?" Seeing Li's appearance, he couldn't help scolding: "Panicked, what does it look like!"

Li opened his mouth, but he couldn't say clearly, so he only said, "Someone outside blocked the door of the store." ”

Hongzhu grabbed her hand comfortingly, and replied to Mrs. Zhu: "The Deng family is here, it's Deng Jincheng." ”

"What?" When Mrs. Zhu heard this, her face suddenly froze, and she didn't say anything with cold eyes.

Hongzhu was anxious, and when she looked left and right, there was only Sanbao's child standing on the door frame of the hall in the courtyard, looking curious and dazed, and Zhu Biyun and Zhu Zilan were gone. When the Deng family came to the door, the crux was still Zhu Biyun, and Hongzhu didn't see anyone, so he wondered if it was difficult to hide out. Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but ask, "What about Sister Biyun?"

When Li saw his daughter, he became a little angry and explained: "Your cousin brother is sick, and they are taking care of him inside." ”

As he was talking, Zhu Biyun and Zhu Zilan came out of the first room in the west, both of them looked a little panicked, obviously they could hear the sound in the room. It's just that Hongzhu looked back, but he didn't see Zhu Boxiu's figure.

Zhu Zilan walked a few steps forward and asked Mrs. Zhu: "What Deng Jincheng?

Hongzhu glanced at Zhu Biyun, and when she heard that she was from the Deng family, she trembled, her face turned pale, and Hongzhu frowned, and she also knew that Zhu Biyun was not a top matter. Then he looked back at Mrs. Zhu again, waiting for her to deal with it. But I was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so Hongzhu persuaded again: "Grandma, now the Deng family is leading people to block the door of the store, waiting for us to give an explanation, I don't think this matter can be messed up, I have to think of a proper way." ”

Old Mrs. Zhu had a wooden face, and suddenly looked at Biyun, her eyes were two points more sharp.

Seeing her behaving like this, Hongzhu couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and subconsciously clenched Li's hand even more.

Zhu Biyun met Mrs. Zhu's eyes, and after a while, she trembled, gritted her teeth and said, "Grandma, since that's the case, it's ...... Just let me ......" Before he finished speaking, tears came down his face.

Zhu Zilan glared at Hongzhu fiercely, and suddenly said: "What kind of explanation do you want to give? It's just a retreat, no one has ever withdrawn from the family before, and if you follow the rules and etiquette, it's not necessarily who is at a loss, and what does the Zhu family owe them? Can they still snatch their sister when they come to the door? I care who he is, just go out." ”

Hongzhu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look at Zhu Zilan when she heard this, and she admired her in her heart that a little girl could be so bold, but she didn't know whether Zhu Zilan's words were because she felt sorry for her sister, or whether she was just high-spirited and didn't know what she was talking nonsense.

Old Mrs. Zhu also showed a little appreciation on her face, nodded at Zhu Zilan, and said with a straight face: "Yes, everything in this world is inseparable from the word 'reason', he blocked the door but there is no reason, he should be beaten out." Saying that, looking left and right, the Li family and Zhu Biyun in the courtyard are not up to the top of the matter, Zhu Zilan is fine, but it is a little small...... Finally, she stared at Hongzhu and called out to her, "You help me to the front." ”

Li Shi was startled, and grabbed the red bead sleeve suddenly, secretly exerting his strength.

Hongzhu was stunned, looked down, and didn't know whether her mother wanted to pull her back or push her out, she looked a little funny, and understood that at this time, Li was also struggling in her heart, and she didn't know what to do. On the surface, this matter can't be related to her, Jiang Shi had already spoken, telling her not to care about Zhu Biyun's marriage. Hongzhu is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid that the reckless man who is unreasonable and only uses brute force will make her a little timid to meet him for no reason.

But now that the Deng family is looking for someone to block the door, where can they care whether it is the Zhu family or the Cheng family inside, but it is not something that can be kept out of the matter. And no matter how much he quarreled, Hongzhu couldn't dodge it like this. Hongzhu said: "Mother, you let go first......"

Li was in a hurry, and he didn't know where to be bold, so he opened his mouth and said, "Bo Xiu is at home, I'll call him." ”

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she immediately became angry, slammed the cane in her hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Didn't you see that he was sent back by the carriage yesterday, how sick he is today, you are a human aunt who is not distressed at all, what are you doing to make him get up now?

Zhu Zilan snorted weirdly, and deliberately added to the fire, "Auntie, are we still relatives in the end?

Hongzhu didn't have time to ask about Zhu Boxiu at this time, seeing that Mrs. Zhu was like this, she couldn't shirk it, so she smiled at Li comfortingly, and shook her head slightly. Suddenly, I felt a little strange in my heart, Mrs. Zhu didn't look down on her in every way on weekdays, but at this time she asked her to accompany her...... Could it be that she still has to be valued by this old lady?

Mrs. Zhu looked straight at her, "Are you going or not?"

Hongzhu glanced at her and only said, "Grandma, I'll help you." Saying this, she secretly pondered the method in her heart.

Hongzhu has always known Mrs. Zhu's temper, and she will definitely not be able to soften her body when she goes out like this, if she has a hard encounter with the Deng family, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhu will not be good, and things will have to make a big fuss. Hongzhu frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said to the Li family: "Mother, you and Zilan go out through the back door, if a neighbor reports to the government, if not, you ask someone to go for a trip." ”

When Li heard that he was going to report to the official, he was worried that this matter might not be good, so his face turned pale, and he grabbed the red bead sleeve and didn't dare to let go.

But because of Hongzhu's words, Mrs. Zhu remembered something, and also instructed Zhu Zilan: "You and the third aunt went to find your uncle in the back street, and said that your grandmother worked for him once." ”

The Zhu family has lived here in the south of the city for decades, and they still know a few people in the yamen, this Zeng Ya is the money and grain scribe in the yamen, and the old rules are still in the yamen of Tong'an, and the father passes on the son to the grandson, and the Zeng family has been the money and grain scribe for two generations, and he is very talkable in the yamen, and his family is in the Dachun Fang, and the neighbors are very face-saving. At present, Mrs. Zhu can ask people to find it, because the two families have some old friendships.

And speaking of Zeng Ya, even the Li family has seen it a few times, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The red beads are relieved, too.

Zhu Zilan was also obedient at this time, and according to the words, she went with the Li family in a hurry.

Zhu Biyun and Sanbao stayed, and Mrs. Zhu pulled the red bead with one hand and the silver head with the other, and walked out step by step. Hongzhu looked sideways, and saw that the old lady was full of silver threads, and her expression was cold and hard.

Just about to enter through the small door, Hongzhu's heart was racing, and he quickly persuaded: "Grandma, we are really sorry to withdraw from our relatives now, then Deng Jincheng is a rough man, and he can't be hard with him, our family is full of old and young, in case of an injury, it's not good...... This matter between the Deng and Zhu families is that both parents are here, and one of his cousins came to talk, is it really unreasonable? Isn't it his own opinion? I see, there is no need to say anything about it, it is better to persuade him to go back first, and then talk to the uncle of the Deng family. ”

Although Mrs. Zhu has a difficult temperament and her waist is hard, Hongzhu can still listen to what she said, so she nodded and seemed to smile.

Hongzhu was dazzled.

When the grandfather and grandson arrived at the front storefront, the noisy crowd couldn't help but be quiet and looked back in surprise.

Hongzhu quickly looked into the store, many goods were scattered, a basket of eggs was trampled on the ground, and a bucket of vegetable oil was poured, looking very messy, and I couldn't help but feel distressed.

Zhu Guida and Deng Jincheng were facing each other two or three steps apart, and their faces were full of anger. Hongzhu raised his head and looked at the faces of the two again, but there were no scars, it can be seen that Zhu Guida and Deng Jincheng pushed once, but this fight was not very powerful.

“…… Mother, why did you come out?" Jiang came over to help people with red eyes, and Zhu Guida also said in a dumb voice: "Mother, you go back to the house, I am arguing with you here." ”

Mrs. Zhu ignored the two of them, and only looked at Deng Jincheng solemnly and asked, "Deng Jincheng, this Zhu family is my old woman's master, come and ask me if you have anything." ”

Deng Jincheng saw that Mrs. Zhu had come, but he was not intimidated at all, and shouted: "Ask you something, I will sue your Zhu family now, don't say that I will not agree to withdraw from the family, I also want your daughter of the Zhu family to enter the door to my brother Chongxi!

Hongzhu's heart jumped violently when she heard it, and she was overjoyed?
