Wei Yun'er married early in Zhanghe Town, and Aunt He's family was the only one in the family where she and her daughter-in-law Wei Gao were doing needlework. When she saw Zhang Xing coming in, she hurriedly beckoned her to eat the fruit. This year, the water was heavy and the crops failed. Aunt He's family can be regarded as a family with a good background in the entire Wei family, but they can only barely make ends meet. The fruit she took out was nothing more than a snack that her two daughters in the town had brought to the children of the family.

Zhang Xing smiled and picked one up, put down his hand, and also took out a needle and thread to do it.

Ye Hexiang is a broken mouth, and the matter of Huaiyang Wangfu looking at Zhang Xing has already been spread by her. Aunt He looked at Zhang Xing carefully and asked in a low voice, "Xing'er, I heard that you are moving to Huaiyang?" ”

Zhang Xing smiled, "It's nothing." She said as she leaned over to look at Wei Gao's needlework, and boasted, "Sister-in-law's hands are so skillful." ”

Wei Gaoshi pursed his lips and smiled, and also came over to see Zhang Xing, and immediately straightened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Your embroidery method is strange." Aunt He listened and leaned over to look.

Zhang Xing smiled and said, "I also learned this from others." Yu'an used to have a Xiao Meiniang, I don't know if you have heard of it? This is the stitch she handed down. ”

"Xiao Meiniang? Why haven't you heard of it? Aunt He immediately answered, "There is also a handkerchief in my box that is from her." It's almost a decade or two, and it's still exactly the same as when I bought it, thinking that at the beginning, her needlework was hard to buy even if she had money! ”

Zhang Xing just wanted to divert Aunt He's attention, and the purpose had been achieved. Speaking of Xiao Deyu's aunt Xiao Meiniang, Aunt He really has a basket of legends to say. Zhang Xing listened with a smile. While Aunt He was talking, she took a sip of water and was about to continue. Suddenly, I heard a gong and drum outside. She listened intently. He asked, "Where did you come from to sing?" ”

Zhang Xing also listened attentively. Sure enough, it was another gong. Aunt He's grandson, Xiaohutou, ran through the hall with three or four little friends. Aunt He shouted, "Tiger Head, what are you doing?" ”

The tiger head pointed to the gate, "Grandmother! There are a lot of rare visitors in the village! Come and see. Before he had finished speaking, the men ran out.

Aunt He scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit, you really can't be quiet for a moment. As soon as she finished speaking, a gong rang out at the door. The three people who were doing needlework in the room were stunned. Jianghuai has a festive custom of stepping on stilts and singing small plays, but that is also near the New Year's Festival. And now there is more than a month before the Chinese New Year.

Aunt He untied the cloth and said, "Let's go." Let's go out and have a look, too. ”

Wei Gao also stood up. Zhang Xing had no choice but to get up with them. When they went out of the house, they saw several tall horses passing by the door, and behind them were several chests with red scarves, carried by seven or eight sturdy boys.

Not to mention the horses in front of you, even the big red boxes in the back are rare enough.

Aunt He's Aunt Wei Gao rushed out of the door, and Zhang Xing's heart jumped inexplicably. She followed Aunt He out slowly, and sure enough, she saw that they had all entered her yard.

The gate of the Wei family was already full of people inside and outside. Zhang Xing fell behind, and there was a feeling of dust settlement in his heart. Things have come to this point. She thought she was about to break down and get angry, but she wasn't. She only felt cold.

Standing in the outer circle, someone recognized Zhang Xing, took the initiative to let go, and pulled the person in front of him, and reminded with a smile: "Let me go, Xing'er is here." ”

Zhang Xing followed the path that people gave way in, and the courtyard was also full of people, and four or five high-headed horses were scattered with clubs, making the originally very spacious Wei family's compound look cramped. The men on the horse had already come down, all dressed in military uniforms and carrying large swords at their waists. Stone stood in the middle of the courtyard wearing fine silk and satin, with a gold silk and jade belt around his waist, smiling and bowing his hands to the surrounding villagers.

Zhang Xing saw him and suddenly felt hot in his eyes.

Ye Hexiang came out early, standing under the eaves in a daze, completely unaware of what was going on. Shi half-arched his body, and said extremely respectfully: "The son-in-law has seen his mother-in-law. ”

Ye Hexiang's face changed in shock, pointed to the stone, and stammered, "You, what do you call me?" ”

"My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law." Shi Shi said, "I also ask my mother-in-law to forgive my sins, my son-in-law should have come over a long time ago, but I couldn't help but drag it to the door today." ”

Ye Hexiang stared at the stone dumbfounded, speechless for a while. The stone glanced back. A neatly dressed woman with a large flower on her head immediately stepped forward and cried out for joy, "Oh, what a joy! A match made in heaven! Madam, my mother-in-law would like to congratulate you first. ”

Ye Hexiang grabbed the woman and stammered and asked, "Mrs. Wu, what kind of joy do you give me?" I only have two daughters, which of my daughters does he have a crush on? ”

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Mrs. said that she was laughing, naturally she is your eldest daughter, Xing'er." Didn't the two of you have a marriage contract for a long time? Oh, the daughter of the Zhang family, the Lang of the Li family, tsk, it's really a talented woman, a match made in heaven. ”

"Engagement? Mrs. Wu, what are you talking about? Where did the marriage contract come from? This kid, this kid also wants to marry my daughter? Ye Hexiang couldn't help but exclaim, "Is he dreaming?" ”

Mrs. Wu was shocked by Ye Hexiang's appearance, and her face changed, and she said, "How can this be called a dream?" The Li Zhang family was a family affair decided when they fled the water in the 35th year of Yuanping, and there is evidence for this! Mr. Li is just a little late in order to work hard for the future, madam, you just want to be annoyed, and you won't ruin this family, right? ”

"What does it mean to be well-documented? Who decided? Yes? My daughter's business, I, a mother, didn't nod my head, who can get past me to settle this matter? Ye Hexiang shouted with cross-eyebrows.

"Mother-in-law, don't blame!" Shi respectfully said, "This matter was decided by my father-in-law and my father-in-law, when the flood came urgently, you didn't go the same way with us, and when you said this, you were indeed not around." However, Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi were by their side at that time, and they could testify about this. ”

As soon as Shi finished speaking, a tall and thin middle-aged man stood out in the crowd. Zhang Xing took a few closer glances and recognized that it was Qi Chongshan, who had fled with them in the thirty-fifth year of Yuan Ping.

Qi Chongshan nodded, glanced at the surrounding villagers, and said, "That's right, when Xing'er's father told Shi's father about this, my mother-in-law and I were next to me, and the two of them also promised tokens as evidence." ”

The stone pulled out a pendant from his neck and handed it over. Qi Chongshan took it and looked at it, and said, "This half copper coin is given to the stone by the water." The stone father gave Xing'er a wood-carved hairpin. ”

Those who beg for a living in the water are also tying their lives to the hands of the river gods. There will always be some pendants to keep you safe. The Zhang family was poor at that time, and they couldn't afford anything else, so they had to hang up half a copper coin that had been offered in the temple for a few days. This matter is still the hand of Ye Hexiangjing.

Zhang Xing reached out and touched his hair, lowered his head and smiled, stood up, and shouted at Qi Chongshan, "Uncle Qi." ”

When Qi Chongshan saw Zhang Xing, he was stunned at first, and then said with a relieved smile: "It's Xing'er, right?" You've grown so big. ”

Zhang Xing lowered her head slightly, her eyes turned red, and asked, "Uncle Qi, Aunt and Sister Yi are all okay?" ”

Qi Chongshan nodded, "It's all good, it's all good." In the end, I saw the hairpin on Zhang Xing's head, and glanced at the stone again. The stone was faintly visible and nodded. Qi Chongshan immediately pointed to Zhang Xing's head and said: "It's the hairpin on Xing'er's head, and this hairpin is the token given to the Zhang family by Shi's father and mother." ”

Ye Hexiang grabbed Zhang Xing, and Zhang Xing hurriedly protected her head. Ye Hexiang pointed at Zhang Xing and shouted, "Dead girl, when did you have this thing on your head?" How I haven't seen it before. ”

Zhang Xing shouted while dodging: "Mother, this is what Grandma Li gave me, I was afraid that I would lose it, so I didn't wear it often." ”

"You're still coaxing me?" Ye Hexiang slapped Zhang Xing's back.

"Stop!" Wei Yunhai didn't know when he was picked up by Sun Baozhu, and when he saw the scene of Ye Hexiang slapping Zhang Xing, he immediately screamed angrily.

Ye Hexiang had always been a little afraid of Wei Yunhai, and as soon as he called, she stopped. But his heart was still uncomfortable, let go of Zhang Xing, ran to Wei Yunhai, wiped his eyes and said, "Big brother, this is absolutely impossible, you have to support me!" Apricot, Apricot must not marry that bastard boy. Big brother, don't you know? He's not a good thing! When he was in Lizhuang Village, who didn't know him? That's really a demon king of the world, Xing'er was almost killed by him! This family business must not be done! ”

"Alright! Say less! Wei Yunhai said with a frown. Ye Hexiang didn't say anything, and looked at Wei Yunhai crying. Wei Yunhai beckoned to Zhang Xing, and Zhang Xing came over. He asked in a low voice, "Xing'er, you told your uncle, are you sure that this happened?" ”

Zhang Xing's mood had completely calmed down. She and the stone were originally together. Those people will definitely not let them go, rather than being randomly pinched by them one by one, it is better for them to face it together. She nodded and said, "My father did tell Uncle Li and Aunt Li about this. ”

Ye Hexiang almost jumped up and shouted, "You dead girl! What are you talking about......"

Wei Yunhai glanced at Ye Hexiang, pulled Zhang Xing aside, and said, "Xing'er, it is said that this is a matter set by your father, and it is not easy for uncle to intervene." But the words of the parents and the matchmaker, this is a big deal, why haven't you mentioned it to us all the time? ”

Zhang Xing lowered her head and whispered, "Uncle, I, I always thought he was gone......"

Wei Yunhai understood, sighed, and beckoned to the stone again. The stone approached Wei Yunhai, saluted respectfully, and shouted, "Uncle Wei." ”

Wei Yunhai waved his hand, "You are also from Lizhuang Village?" What's your name? What do you do for a living now? ”

Stone replied respectfully. Wei Yunhai nodded, "Serving in the army, although it is dangerous, is not without a future. Hyo-hsien, right? It is said that Xing'er, her father and your father have decided on something, and I don't have the right to intervene. But Xing'er has been by my side for many years, and I have always regarded her as my daughter. You want to marry my daughter, but you can't be so nonsense, there should be rules!
