Chapter 128: A Narrow Encounter
The pear blossoms in Zhuangzi are not yet fully blooming, and they are actually not pretty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the joyful laughter of children under the blue sky and white clouds is enough to make up for all the regrets.
Yuan Hui and Dou Dayong stood side by side under the pear tree, feeling that such a beautiful life was like a dream.
Dou Dayong looked at his petite and beautiful wife beside him, and said softly: "Hui Niang, didn't you say that you wanted to take your children back to Beijing to visit your aunt a few years ago, when do you plan to leave?" ”
Yuan Hui pulled down a pear blossom and looked at it, and said with a smile: "That's just talking, no one cares about a lot of things at home, and besides, I and the children are gone, who will take care of you?" ”
Dou Dayong was very nervous in his heart, but he didn't admit that he couldn't do without his wife and children: "I'm a big man, where can't I deal with a meal indiscriminately." ”
Yuan Hui frowned and said, "Even if it's not to take care of you, I don't plan to go back, Jingnan Hou Mansion is no longer my home." ”
Dou Dayong stretched out his hand and stroked her forehead, and said distressedly: "Hui Niang......"
Yuan Hui took Dou Dayong's hand and said: "It's not a big deal, I was a little girl who had just reached Lu and could see it, and now I am almost thirty years old, I have a husband and a son, what is not satisfied, I will go back to the capital, and wait for the day my little girl gets married......"
Hearing her talk about Doudou's marriage, Dou Dayong said with some regret: "It's a pity that Brother Xiao can't marry our little Dou'er, that child is really good." ”
Yuan Hui said: "Who says it's not, that kid has been going to the Great Northwest for almost two years, and he must be more outstanding than before." ”
As the couple spoke, there was a noise of footsteps not far ahead.
The two Zhuangzi were originally one, and the pear orchards were also connected together.
After the two families were divided, they were separated from the pear orchard by a wooden fence, but it did not affect the view.
There was even a wooden gate in the middle of the wooden fence to make it easier for the two families to go back and forth.
At this time, the noise came from the neighboring village.
Yuan Hui and Dou Dayong looked up, only to see a person dressed as a village leading the way in front, and a gorgeously dressed and fat old man and several retinues followed behind.
After a closer look, I found that there was a woman beside the fat man, slender and petite, with her head down and only caring about walking, and others couldn't see her appearance and age at all.
When the head of the Dou family's Zhuangzi saw those people, he hurriedly walked over and replied: "Master, madam, the time that the slave made an appointment with them is not the end of the day, but they are coming over now, are we ......?"
Yuan Hui smiled: "It's the same in the morning and evening, you go and open the door." ”
The head of the village answered and led a few farmers over to open the door.
Yuan Hui and Dou Dayong looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the wooden door together.
The fat old man had already inquired about the identity of the owner of the neighboring village, and when he saw Dou Dayong and his wife, he made a big gift very formally: "Zheng Datong, a grass citizen, has seen General Dou and Mrs. Dou. ”
Dou Dayong hugged his fist at him: "Master Zheng is polite." ”
The tables, chairs and benches had been prepared a long time ago, and Zhuang Tou invited the Dou family and Zheng Datong and the woman to sit aside.
The servants on the side also hurriedly served hot tea and snacks.
Dou Dayong has been a Xuanfu envoy for more than two years, and he is no longer the martial artist who could only lead troops to fight back then.
His attitude was neither warm nor distant, and he talked with Zheng Datong very decently.
The woman didn't like to talk, and after saluting the Dou family and his wife, she still bowed her head tamely.
People don't speak, Yuan Hui can't force the other party to speak, she simply picked up a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, making it look like she was listening carefully to the men's conversation, but in fact, she began to carefully look at the pair of men and women sitting opposite.
The woman is probably three or four years older than her, her appearance is very beautiful, and her temperament is dignified with a hint of humility, like a maid of high status in the noble family.
Yuan Hui felt a trace of surprise in her heart, this surnamed Zheng is a businessman at first glance, who is this woman?
Madam? Not like.
This woman does not have the slightest momentum of being a housewife, nor can she see half of the philistine who belongs to a businessman.
Concubine? Some can't.
It is not easy for a businessman to take a maid of high status in the noble family as a concubine.
And this woman is not enthusiastic about the surname Zheng, and it is not the attitude that a concubine should have at all.
Just sitting there faintly, as if he didn't care about anything, he didn't have any sense of existence at all.
Yuan Hui couldn't help but shift her gaze to Master Zheng's fat face.
The skin on Master Zheng's face is white and red, delicate and smooth, probably because he is too fat, there is no wrinkle on his face, and Yuan Hui can't tell his age at all.
It's just that I saw that he had grown a beard before, and he must be over thirty years old.
Yuan Hui didn't know where the sense of familiarity that surged up in her heart came from, and she always felt that she had seen this old man Zheng somewhere.
She looked down at Master Zheng's eyebrows.
Until I found the black hairy mole on the left cheek of Master Zheng.
Yuan Hui felt her heart skip a beat.
This mole......
This eyebrow ......
This man's surname is Zheng ......
This familiar Beijing film......
Yuan Hui's eyes were a little tingling, and her heart was also tingling.
She never imagined that this person was not dead!
Not only is he not dead, but he is still living so freely!
used to be a bamboo pole-like figure, but now he is as obese!
In vain, she Yuan Hui thought that she had killed someone by mistake back then, and she had nightmares for more than ten years.
Today's trip can be regarded as a narrow encounter.
However, today's Yuan Hui is not the simple little girl she was back then.
People are similar, and she is not completely sure, and she still does not dare to draw arbitrary conclusions.
In case the family just looks like and happens to be surnamed Zheng, they also happen to be from the capital......
She can't act on such impulse.
Yuan Hui tightened her fist under her sleeve, and said as calmly as possible: "Listening to Master Zheng's accent, you seem to be from the capital?" ”
Master Zheng naturally didn't want to be lazy when he heard Mrs. Dou's inquiry, turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "The grass people grew up in the capital until they were twenty years old, and then they have been doing businessmen all the time, and now they have settled in Jiaxing Mansion, Zhejiang. ”
Yuan Hui's eyes narrowed and he smiled: "Jiaxing Mansion is a good place, how could Master Zheng come to Liaodong to buy an industry?" ”
Master Zheng laughed heartily a few times and said, "It doesn't matter whether the place is good or bad, where you can make money, it is a good place."
Liaodong is rich in products, and a round trip can earn a lot of silver taels.
Mrs. Bu said that the grass people are obese and afraid of heat, and Jiaxing Mansion is indeed very good, but it is too hot in summer, but Liaodong is very cool in summer, so I want to buy a manor in order to escape the heat.
Grass people, this can be regarded as making money and enjoying both. ”
This is a reasonable reason.
Yuan Hui didn't believe it.
This old man Zheng didn't even glance at those pear blossoms, and he couldn't see that he liked this Zhuangzi at all.
On the contrary, it was the woman, whose eyes always lingered on those pear blossoms inadvertently.
Master Zheng must have bought Zhuangzi to please this woman.
It seems that he is also attentive to this woman.
Yuan Hui said: "It's rare that Master Zheng has a heart, Zhuangzi, I agree to sell it." ”
