Zhu Biyun was silent, but Zhu Zilan couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and sat on the other side of her, and only said, "Sister, I think Cheng Hongzhu has a point." I don't think my mother wants to hide it from you, but I just don't want you to be upset. If you want to know the details, just ask in private, and my mother will definitely say it. I should know what the person's illness has become, and whether this person is going to retire on the right ......" she paused, and said with some annoyance: "I can't hear any of this." ”

Zhu Biyun's body trembled slightly when she heard this, but she still hung her head, her eyes staring straight at the clothes in her hand.

Hongzhu knew that she couldn't stabilize it anymore, so she pulled the old clothes over and struck her again: "Sister Biyun, if the Deng family didn't get sick, you would have to get married in the New Year." It's sixteen, and the girl's family is not good to delay. Now I see that the eldest aunt not only wants to return the Deng family's relatives, but also is anxious to find a good one for you, otherwise how can that matchmaker be so happy to come to the door? ”

Zhu Biyun was really taken aback by this, and finally spoke, her tone was still a little frightened, "Mother is going to find me another home......? I ......"

Hongzhu saw her expression and understood a little, her heart jumped, and she only asked, "Sister Biyun, don't you want to withdraw from your family?"

Zhu Zilan listened, and her eyes stared straight at Zhu Biyun.

Zhu Biyun snorted for a long time and spit out a sentence: "He, he...... Isn't he sick, no, no...... There are so many good doctors in Tong'an City, and his family is not short of that bit of money and silver, so he must treat and raise it with good medicine. After the New Year, he ...... It's going to be fine. ”

Hongzhu's words made Zhu Biyun, a wooden man, hold back such words, and his intention was very clear. Zhu Zilan, who is usually a little smart, didn't need her to say anything deeper, and immediately understood. She was suddenly shocked and said hurriedly: "I heard that the person surnamed Deng has been sick for half a year, and he has not seen any good doctor, and he has not used good medicine, so it must be difficult to treat." ”

Zhu Biyun said seriously: "It's been half a year, it can be seen that it is not an emergency, the illness is like a thread, take your time." ”

When Zhu Zilan heard this, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, so she stretched her neck and crossed her sister to stare at Hongzhu to signal her to speak.

Hongzhu ignored it and only thought about it by herself. At this time, she also knew in her heart, and secretly said that things were complicated now. It turned out that the Jiang family didn't know the girl's infatuation at all, and he didn't think to ask Biyun if he was willing to quit his family, so he went straight to the Deng family to talk.

Hongzhu couldn't help sighing, and looked at the head of the bed with Biyun's sight, and saw a delicate small sandalwood box, with poems engraved on it. You don't have to think about it, it must have been sent in by Deng Jinyu in the past.

Zhu Biyun was engaged in the spring of last year, according to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the two families are engaged, even if they don't pass through the door, the two families are also relatives to go back and forth. Therefore, Deng Jinyu has also been a three-day festival for more than a year, and it is not once or twice that he has come to Zhu's house to meet him in person. Every time he came, Zhu Biyun only met him in a hurry, said hello, and then hid in the room. But the small objects sent by Deng Jinyu were carefully collected and played with from time to time.

A solid girl like Zhu Biyun is not only a behaving fiancé, but also a talented and good-looking person, she has met a few times, and I am afraid that her affection has already been tied to Deng Jinyu. Now she has to worry about his illness, and she has to worry about her father and mother marrying her to someone else, and I don't know how to suffer in my heart.

Hongzhu is not a little girl at the core, knowing that this kind of marriage event is not enough for you to be happy for a while, if you rely on her, it is naturally good to withdraw from your family. But she couldn't say that, and she couldn't just say anything, so she just said: "No matter what, the eldest aunt is also dedicated to your good." ”

Zhu Zilan rolled her eyes and said straightly: "My mother wants to withdraw from her family, how are you going?" After speaking, without waiting for her sister to answer, she neatly put down a sentence: "I'm thirsty, go drink water." "As soon as I turned around, I left.

When Hongzhu saw her like this, she knew that she was going to call Jiang. She didn't want to get mixed up in her heart, so she immediately picked up the old clothes and said to Zhu Biyun: "I'll go back to the house and do it, Sister Biyun, think about it yourself." Saying the same thing, without waiting for Biyun to agree, she turned around and left.

When Hongzhu turned out the sewing basket in the room, Jiang's scolding and Zhu Biyun's crying came from the opposite room. The matchmaker was gone, and she thought she would leave first. Li Shi heard the movement, looked around the courtyard for a while and hesitated to persuade her, Hongzhu saw her figure through the window, and was funny and angry, so he called her: "Mother, come in and help me change my clothes." ”

Li Shi paused, then came in, and sighed: "What's the matter, a good marriage, it's like this." I have also seen Deng Jinyu, who looks like a talent, and I heard that it is good to do homework in the schoolhouse, and after two years, I can't say that I can also get a reputation for showing talent. Why should my sister-in-law ......?"

Hongzhu felt that she could still understand the Jiang family in this matter, so she said: "Mother, the brother of the Deng family is not good, and dragging it is also delaying Sister Biyun." ”

Li is also a mother, so he naturally understands this, but after thinking about it, he still said: "It's not that I can't wait, I can't say that after the New Year, the disease will be cured." It's really bad at that time, the Deng family knows that Biyun is affectionate and righteous, and the two families are still harmonious, and in the future, according to Biyun's character, they can also allow others. Why bother to do things in a hurry, and find someone else before you quit your family. ”

Hongzhu was busy with work in her hands, and when she heard that she was beaten, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Uncle Niang really looks at others?"

Li Shi didn't agree, so he just said "um", and said: "Don't ask so much about your girl's family, it's not good." ”

Hongzhu pursed her lips secretly, turned her head to look out the window and looked at the opposite wing, and said in her heart, Sister Biyun must be crying a lot.

When eating at night, Zhu Biyun stayed in the room and didn't come out, Hongzhu wanted to bring her food, but was stopped by Jiang, "...... She didn't want to eat it, so she just gave up. As he spoke, he stared at Hongzhu meaningfully, and said lightly: "The girl's family has to understand some rules, and some words and things cannot be mixed." Biyun is the eldest sister, she has to teach the younger sisters in the back, otherwise...... will lose his temperament and character, and he will not be able to get on the stage after all. ”

Hongzhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Jiang's words clearly said Zhu Biyun, but in fact, he was teaching her a lesson. She was also a little annoyed when she thought about it, but she pretended not to understand on her face, and only said: "Nacheng, such a meal or two without eating and not being hungry, the eldest aunt is not worried, what am I doing in vain." As he spoke, he looked at the Li family again, and said with a smile: "Mother, does our Cheng family also have this rule? Or I have always been well-behaved, and you have never punished me like this." ”

Li Shi listened on the side, some of them didn't understand, but Jiang Shi was angry with Hongzhu, and he didn't know how to persuade peace, and when he heard Hongzhu ask, he said in passing: "...... Well, you're well-behaved. ”

Hongzhu couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Shi was suddenly so angry that he looked left and right at their mother and daughter, and was about to say something, when Mrs. Zhu snorted heavily in the upper seat, "What are you arguing about? As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang.

Jiang was silent.

Hongzhu was a little puzzled, in the past, Mrs. Zhu would not help her so much, she glanced at it secretly, and saw that Mrs. Zhu's face was sinking like water, and she didn't seem to be happy. Hongzhu thought about it and realized that no matter what, Zhu Biyun's family affair had twists and turns, and Mrs. Zhu was extremely unhappy, which made Jiang shameless.

A meal was eaten peacefully.

Busy with the Laba Festival, approaching the New Year, more and more people from the counties and townships outside the city came to the city to do New Year's goods, the grocery store was busy up and down, and hired two and a half children to help, and the grocery store added a lot of income in a few days. It should have been happy, but the atmosphere of the Zhu family was still gloomy.

The matchmaker came again, hurriedly said to Jiang for half an hour, and left without taking a sip of tea. When he looked back at Hongzhu, Jiang's face was very ugly.

Hongzhu pondered in her heart, Xu is Biyun's withdrawal from relatives has not been fruitful for a while, and Jiang's newly found in-laws have no follow-up. Hongzhu wanted to ask Biyun, but as soon as she spoke, Biyun looked at her in embarrassment, pursed her lips and said nothing. Hongzhu was puzzled at first, but soon understood that after the Jiang family taught her a lesson last time, Biyun didn't tell Hongzhu much about it.

Hongzhu said in her heart, she is not the one who rushes to please, if she doesn't ask her to care, she doesn't care. If this matter was changed to Zhu Zilan, she would not have spoken at all. Now it's okay to get away like this, but the provincial turn back provoked Jiang Shi to sneer and say.

In fact, Hongzhu can't take care of this matter at the moment, the breakfast stall of Second Uncle Li has been busy these days, and the stall is now busy from dawn to the prepared breakfast ingredients are sold out, and the guests are still not dispersed. For this, the second uncle Zhong didn't want to go, and paid Hongzhu more every day, and Hongzhu was also busy.

Second Uncle Li's stall was placed in a lively place at the mouth of the alley, and there were many people coming and going, but he told the official that he could only put it until the end of the day, and it could not be more than three minutes. Now seeing that there are a lot of eclipse customers, the stall is closed every day, and many diners who didn't catch up have to leave, which can make less money, and Zhong is so depressed that he has lost two catties of meat.

Seeing this, Hongzhu suddenly had the idea of opening a restaurant.
