Chapter 295: Hongmen Banquet
"Hey, it's not my mother's business, you know, your brother Wang doesn't have many relatives here, my mother's family has two younger brothers, and the family is big, last time I went back, I heard something, let me give an idea, I don't know what to do for a while.

Aunt Li heard that it was interesting, in such a small place, pulling the family is the favorite thing for the village women to do.
"It's that my mother's family has a niece, although I am engaged, but the man is far away, and he is not a wife, he is a concubine, and now, there is an honest man in the same village, the conditions are good, and it is good for their family, do you say that this matchmaker should be said?"
Aunt Li didn't care: "Are you still upset about this? Give the man a time, he will either marry quickly, or withdraw from the marriage, how can there be this, occupy the pit and not?"
The man said that he would come to marry in the next few months, but if he didn't come, he would miss the other end of the marriage at that time, what a pity. ”
"Did he say a few months is just a few months? You won't shorten the time, a month, and if you don't get hired, you will get out of the marriage. ”
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up, it made sense, anyway, Zhu Dafu also hoped that Ling Qingcheng would raise him for nothing, and a month would be just right, if the white prince didn't come, he would find a reason to withdraw the marriage.
She still has this means.
If Bai Gongzi came over and married a girl, she would push the matter on Bai Gongzi, she was just a village woman, where could she fight against the people who were officials.
Thinking about it this way, she is much more relaxed.
In the days that followed, Ling Qingcheng's life was very simple, Chen Abel saw that she liked to go to the town, so he often took her there, and now that her family is well-off, every time Ling Qingcheng goes to the town, she can buy something if she wants.
Ling Qingcheng liked to read, and once she saw a travelogue about a caravan traveling around, and one of the men recorded all his experiences.
When she saw the introduction of Sheng Guo, she felt inexplicably familiar, and she could even name the place name of a certain place, as if she could feel the customs there.
She felt that she had been there before, and perhaps she had been to a businessman's family, or that she had traveled with her parents who had healed the people.
Ling Qingcheng took out a small notebook and wrote down all the places and things that he felt were impressive, and slowly, he should be able to retrieve some memories.
Although she also thought that maybe her past was unbearable, it was always her, she wanted to know.
Time passed quickly, and it had been a month since Baili Chenxuan left.
Aunt Wang saw that there was no movement over there, so she began to make her own little calculations.
Hexi Village is not big, so as long as you inquire casually, you will know that the east family is short of the west family, she remembers that Bai Gongzi said when he left that she would only let her wait for two months, and now that more than half of the time has passed, it is time to shake her.
Aunt Wang brought a little hen to Chen's house, and the village usually kills a hen for a banquet when there are distinguished guests or festivals, and generally speaking, hens are used to lay eggs.
"Aunt Wang, what are you doing here?" Ling Qingcheng looked at her strangely.
"It's nothing, there are a lot of new chickens at home, this hen is too weak, and she is always bullied. ”
Saying that, Aunt Wang was shaking the thin, feathered hen with messy feathers.
"Then keep them separately. Ling Qingcheng didn't understand what she meant.
"Oh, we have a small family, your Uncle Wang often works outside, and there is no child in this family, I want to feed you to replenish your body. ”
"I'm in good health. "Ling Qingcheng has always been very vigilant about Aunt Wang's hospitality, and she always makes her feel uncomfortable.
"Eat more, the stew is very good, didn't you pick some wild mushrooms, stewed soup." ”
Aunt Wang was worried that Ling Qingcheng would not accept it, so she directly carried the chicken into the kitchen, and Ling Qingcheng stopped her.
"This chicken is also quite thin, there is no meat, I will raise it for a few days and then kill it. ”
Looking at the poor little hen, Ling Qingcheng inexplicably thought of herself, she was so thin and bullied at the beginning.
When Aunt Wang saw that she was willing to help, she happily stuffed the hen into their chicken coop.
"Come to our house for dinner later, your Uncle Wang is not here, and I am quite bored by myself. ”
Ling Qingcheng echoed the voice.
Boss Wang is more than ten years older than Aunt Wang, originally had a wife, but died, and the previous two daughters also got married, and he and Aunt Wang have only been married for two years, so they have no children yet
After Aunt Wang left, she found a time to go to town.
Zhu Dafu had already forgotten about Ling Qingcheng, and he didn't remember it until she went.
Aunt Wang found that Zhu Dafu was not very interested in Ling Qingcheng, so she hurriedly began to say good things about Ling Qingcheng.
"Master Zhu, my girl is very virtuous, but now she looks much ruddy, and her skin is like a shelled egg, and she is smart!"
Zhu Dafu took a bite of the pastry, looked at Aunt Wang and said: "There are so many beauties, it is useless, for me, it is not interesting, you don't have to care too much, I will not ask you for the money rewarded, I will help me take a look if I have the opportunity." ”
"Don't, Master Zhu, this beauty can't just be seen, you have to get in touch, this girl is definitely the best, she has been engaged to men in other towns. ”
"Oh, betrothed?"
"What about her, she saved a rich young master, and the rich young master also liked her, but the family didn't agree, so this thing didn't work out, the jade pendant you saw was the love thing that the rich young master gave him. ”
Zhu Dafu was interested, not to Ling Qingcheng, but to the jade.
He had seen this piece of jade before, it was very valuable, and if he could get this piece of jade, it would be far more valuable than marrying a concubine.
"You're in Hexi Village, aren't you? ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
"I heard that your pheasant there tastes good, what kind of dish do you have?"
"Potato pheasant, or dried tofu and brine chicken, these two dishes are my specialty!" Aunt Wang strongly recommended herself, she wanted to invite Zhu Dafu over for dinner, and then take a look at Ling Qingcheng, at this time, eight or nine are not far from ten.
Zhu Dafu nodded, took out a tael of silver and gave it to Aunt Wang: "When the time comes, let that girl dress better, if it is really as good as you say, this benefit is indispensable to yours." ”
Aunt Wang took the silver and immediately bowed down: "Master Xie Zhu!
A few days later, Aunt Wang came to Chen's house with her new clothes and jewelry, wanting to talk to Ling Qingcheng about dinner.
She knew that the second elder of the Chen family was also very interested in this girl she picked up, and it must be a little difficult to let her eat with Zhu Dafu alone.
"Is Aunt Chen here?"
Grandma Chen put down the dishes in her hand: "Is there anything wrong with the daughter-in-law of the Wang family?"
"I'm really going to bother you. ”
"I'm an old woman, what can I do for you? Grandma Chen didn't understand what she meant.
