Chapter Twenty-One: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
Xiaoyu stared at the wooden man, but Zhong Min kept staring at Xiaoyu, and when he saw her rushing away, he hurriedly chased her out. However, Yang Baochen was still thinking about the trick in a daze, and the second brother pushed him and went to chase Xiaoyu. Yang Baochen was ignorant at this time, and when he woke up, he also chased after him. Xu Liangqi didn't know why, so he didn't want to think about it, so he beckoned the five or six family members who accompanied him to follow behind. So a large group of people rushed up with Xiaoyu.
When the people around saw it, they didn't know what was going on, so they ran along. Fortunately, Xiaoyu stopped after running two streets, and when he looked back, he was surprised, and when he touched the mechanism of his forearm, he stammered and asked the second brother: "These...... They, yes, who, what do they do with us? I thought it was the thin man who brought someone to chase after me, and I couldn't help but be annoyed by my recklessness.
The idlers who followed blindly saw that there was no bustle around them, and there was nothing terrible to chase after them, and they dispersed again in the blink of an eye. Xiaoyu hurriedly stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Liangqi also caught up at this time, and stepped forward to salute again. Xiaoyu couldn't help but cry and laugh, so she had to evenn out her breath and salute: "The younger brother's surname is Xia, and he is from Fengxiang." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard a woman with a hat behind Xu Liangqi sigh in surprise.
The woman stepped forward from behind Xu Liangqi and asked breathlessly, "But the Xia family who has the head prodigy." β
Xia Xiaoyu tilted his head to look them up and down, and saw that the man was white and clean, wearing a cyan muslin robe, his hair was loose, and he grabbed a bun and wrapped a turban on the top of his head. The young woman wore a goose-yellow dress with a hat on her head, and her face was hidden behind a black veil. Xiaoyu thought about it, could it be a friend of the seventh brother: "Do you know my brother?"
The woman was surprised and asked, "Then do you have a little sister named Xiaoyu in your family?" Is she with you too?"
Xiaoyu looked at the second brother suspiciously, nodded and said, "There is indeed a little sister... Not... Follow... Together... I wonder who this sister is?"
The woman turned her head to look at Xu Liangqi happily and said: "Liangqi, it was said in the book that there are four joys in life: a long drought and nectar, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, spending candles in the cave room, and inscribed on the gold list." I've always thought that it would be a joy to meet someone in a foreign country, and now I realize that this is really a great joy. β
After that, he turned his head to Xiaoyu and said, "Go and tell your sister, just say that the third lady of the Lu family is here." She will remember me. β
Xiaoyu secretly complained, and said in her heart that I really don't remember. "What if she doesn't remember?"
The third lady shook her head and said, "How could you not remember, she was eight or nine years old at that time." You told her that we enjoyed the flowers by the river together, and she also raced horses with King Xing's youngest son and won the house, and she would never forget such a proud thing. β
Xiaoyu screamed, remembering that Sun Haoran's sister Sun Wanyin had brought several women to enjoy the flowers together, one of which was her mother's brother's daughter named Lu Heyi, could it be that the woman in front of her was her.
I had the intention to make a blessing, but I felt awkward halfway through, so I simply made a gesture: "It's Sister Xiaoyu, speaking of which, my sister is still happy, and my sister's aunt and cousin are also with us." β
Xu Liangqi and his wife were taken aback, Lu Heyi didn't care that he was still on the street, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "You saved my aunt?" My father heard about my uncle and sent someone to look for him. It took three times to send back the news, saying that my aunt had abandoned Zhuangzi and did not know what happened. β
"Was it actually saved by you?" Speaking of this, Lu Heyi's voice trembled, and she wanted to cry, Xiaoyu saw her pursing her lips through the black veil of the hood, and her eyes were full of tears.
Xu Liangqi hurriedly took out his wife's hand from Xiaoyu's hand and comforted: "Don't worry about the lady, my aunt Jiren has her own natural appearance." Then he muttered, "Since my aunt is safe, we should visit me as soon as possible." That Xu Liangqi was also an anxious person, so he immediately asked his family to take the post to Xiaoyu's inn.
Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled the second brother and introduced: "Speaking of which, everyone is still a relative. This is my second brother, just like my sister is now my second sister-in-law. β
Lu Sanniang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, looked at Second Brother Xia without a trace, stepped forward and shouted, "Brother-in-law." Xu Liangqi danced even more, he introduced Xiaoyu as a confidant, and found an aunt for his mother. Now that he has met a reckless hero like the second brother, he also stepped forward happily: "Second brother, the younger brother is polite." β
Lu Sanniang is everyone's best girl, and she can't help but value a handsome scholar like Xu Liangqi more. Second brother? Lu Sanniang looked at it coldly, and sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't know what the situation was at that time, how she found such a vulgar martial artist for Sun Wuniang.
So, Xiaoyu introduced Zhong Min and others to their husband and wife, and everyone greeted each other.
Xu Liangqi asked Xiaoyu for advice: "Brother Xia, what kind of mechanism was that puppet just now, how can you drive it to hang in the air?" Could it be that person really knows how to carry the technique, the peach man?"
Xiaoyu Nahan: "What is the Carrying Technique?"
Xu Liangqi was just about to open his mouth to explain, but Second Brother Xia looked at the pink wall and coughed heavily.
Yang Baochen suddenly woke up and said: "Those are all deceptive things in the market. Master, what did you see? It's like you've seen a ghost. β
The second brother almost fainted, and said in his heart that these two were talking nonsense
Xu Liangqi saw that Yang Baochen looked mighty but called Xiaoyu his master, and he was also very strange in his heart, but at this time, he was even more concerned about the little wooden man who could move, so he pressed his curiosity and didn't ask.
Xiaoyu had to scratch his head and look at Yang Baochen and said, "Don't say it, that person's eyes are really scary, dark and faint, sharper than Brother Fang's, it seems that I can see you in your heart all of a sudden." I don't think he's a good guy. β
He turned his head to look at Xu Liangqi again: "Brother Xu, this is not a great method, his little wooden man has a very fine silk thread tied to his body." The thread was so thin and transparent that you wouldn't be able to see it even if you put it on a new tuft of satin. β
"It's just that the silk thread is not the same, and the method of manipulation by him is only very subtle. I peeked through his mechanism, and he glared at me. I was startled and ran away. Xiaoyu didn't feel embarrassed when she said it, so she caused everyone to run blindly together.
So a few people agreed to reunite at their inn in Xiaoyu for a while, and everyone said goodbye to each other as soon as they gave up.
Originally, Xiaoyu was going to have a visit, but he was not in the mood at this time, so he hurried back to the inn to tell SΓΉ Xia Xiucai and Xiao Xia's mother-in-law. As soon as I approached the guest room of the second brother and sister-in-law, I heard Rulan crying and crying inside, wanting to go out to play. The second brother frowned and pushed the door in, only to see Rulan struggling in the arms of the second sister-in-law, and saw his father enter with a tiger face, so he stood aside cautiously.
Xiaoyu saw that the second brother's face was not good, and the second sister-in-law was rubbed by Rulan and didn't look good, thinking that Lu Sanniang and his wife would come after a while, wouldn't the second sister-in-law have no face, so she hurriedly ran in and hugged Rulan: "Look what fun my aunt bought you!" and turned to the second sister-in-law and said, "I met Lu Sanniang on the way back just now." Before leaving, he didn't forget to wink at the second brother, telling the second brother not to forget the comb and hand.
The second sister-in-law was already upset by Rulan, and after listening to Xiaoyu's headless words, she didn't come back to her senses for a while, so Xiaoyu simply led Rulan out.
The second brother told him about meeting Lu Sanniang and Xu Liangqi: "I'm afraid that they will come over when they go back to change their clothes." Why don't you know, well, you can also tell Mrs. Lu. β
The second sister-in-law came to her senses and hurriedly ran to Mrs. Lu's room next door, and when she walked to the door, she heard Mrs. Lu sobbing and talking to Sun Haoran inside: "What did you say to find us, if you lie to the ghosts, you will lose what they also say." It's not that your father is gone, and I wish that our orphans and widows were gone with him. β
Sun Haoran said in a deep voice: "They are them, and the third sister is the third sister." After all, the third sister didn't offend us, and since they have the heart to visit now, we also have to entertain us. β
The second sister-in-law couldn't help but feel sour, thinking that she was worried that the third sister's family had not found it just now, but it turned out that they had already known. I simply didn't go in, turned around and went back to my room, and saw the second brother carefully shaving his beard in front of his dressing mirror. I had to silently open the cage and try to pick out a few decent clothes, but I couldn't help but feel sad: "The sister of the Lu family sent a post, and my aunt and cousin didn't know that they would meet me. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I couldn't help but sigh about my life experience.
The second brother heard that she came back without knocking on the door, and at this time he sighed while turning over the cage, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, put down the razor in his hand and held the second sister-in-law's hand and said softly, "You have to endure for a few more days, and when you get through this journey, I will find you two little girls when we get home, and you will not be so hard." β
The second sister-in-law was silent for a long time, and let out a long breath: "Always raised me so big, what can I do." Thinking about it, he excused her and said: "She is not good at social housework, and I am also ......" Thinking about it and sighing: "She, life is not easy." Alas!"
The second brother saw that she wanted to open it, so he went to shave again. The second sister-in-law turned out an agarwood-colored muslin and put it on the bed. I found a clean muslin green dress and a jacket in the box. Seeing that the second brother had shaved his beard, he shook off his clothes to help the second brother put them on, and helped the second brother stroke the folds on it.
At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door, and the second sister-in-law was shocked to think that Lu Sanniang was here, and she hadn't changed her clothes, and she hadn't cleaned up her head and face, so she couldn't help but panic.
"Second brother, come and see this. Xiaoyu said happily outside, and her tone was full of unexplained anxiety.
The second brother hurriedly patted the second sister-in-law: "You clean up slowly, I'll see what this girl has done first." β
The second sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little annoyed that Xiaoyu didn't know anything. With a sigh, he sat down in front of the dresser and slowly dressed up.
Xiaoyu took the second brother's hand, hurriedly walked away a few steps, and whispered: "Why haven't my father and mother come back yet!" Rao is second brother had a calm temperament, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and secretly regretted that he didn't send someone to follow.
