Chapter 091: Anger Doesn't Pay for Life
readx;
The husband and wife went on the road, there were no eyesore, and the days were really smoother, but relatively speaking, Mo Xiaohe had a lot less fun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
used to show affection, and by the way, I observed the face of Widow Fan Tie Qing, which was a spice for life on the boring carriage.
Walking out of Dawu and coming to Dayue, which has a sense of history, Mo Xiaohe began to have a sense of crisis, and his husband's unsmiling temperament can attract the attention of big girls and daughters-in-law on the street.
In order to hurry, the two only stayed in Zhang Damiang's small village for two days, and spent most of the rest of the time on the road, and walked for about ten days, and they were already approaching the city of Dayue Beidi
In the spring of March, the willow trees have just been greened, and the spring flowers are blooming, Mo Xiaohe also took off his heavy cotton jacket and wore a dress made of muslin.
When she came out, she brought a small box with several satin clothes, which were cold and silky on her body.
Because she had to ride in a carriage and it was more comfortable to wear regular clothes, she gave up her satin dress, which was in the carriage anyway, and no one would pay attention to what she was wearing.
"Husband, let's stop after we enter the city, I want to write a letter to my family."
Nearly a month after coming out, Mo Xiaohe began to miss his father and eldest brother, and sure enough, he was even more wanton when he was still a girl at home without marrying, at least he wouldn't be bothered by his in-laws who were about to emerge.
"Okay."
Gu Zheng drove the carriage, and there was an official messenger at the gate of the city for a routine inspection, and after he showed the road guide, he drove the carriage to an inn on the main street of the city.
"Cyclamen."
Mo Xiaohe read a few gilded characters on the plaque, and couldn't help nodding, this inn has a total of three floors, built extremely magnificently, and the difference from ordinary inns is that outside each room, there is a small sundeck, which is full of flowers and plants.
Guests can sit on the terrace and enjoy tea and watch the scenery when the sun sets, or feel the cool breeze blowing from all sides at night.
"Well, this is the best inn."
The inn is very enthusiastic, and the couple asked for an upper room, which is just at the top of the third floor, which can better overlook several surrounding streets.
Cyclamen has spread all over the main streets of various cities in Dayue, with convenient terrain and comfortable environment, but it is also famous for being expensive, and the most ordinary room downstairs costs ten taels of silver a night.
Ten taels of silver can find a good inn and live in the No. 1 room of Tianzi.
Gu Zheng was rare and extravagant, and chose a large suite with a wide field of vision, the flower hall outside was connected to the terrace, and between the flower hall and the bedroom, there was a hollow multi-treasure pavilion, on which all kinds of gadgets were placed.
"This jade pixiu is really good."
Mo Xiaohe wanted to take it down and enjoy it, but she pulled it for a long time, motionless, she lowered her head and took a closer look, the underside of the jade pixiu should be sealed by the inn with super strong glue, with its own anti-theft function.
"There is an antique street in the west of the city, and there are many of them."
Gu Zheng has been here and is more familiar, sleeping on the road, his own wife has suffered a lot with him, in fact, this time, she doesn't have to come with her, just wait for him to go back.
"But we're in a hurry, so we don't have time to go."
Often copycat all kinds of fake calligraphy and paintings, Mo Xiaohe thinks he still has a little eyesight, that kind of antique street, there are many fakes, really few, but if you have a good eye and good luck, you may be able to find a treasure.
Some fakes are copied by the hands of the former dynasty, which is naturally different from ordinary fakes, which is the difference between high imitation and counterfeit and shoddy.
"You wash up first, get a good night's sleep, and we'll go over tomorrow morning."
Gu Zheng didn't want to recognize his ancestors at all, over the years, he was used to being alone, and when it was the most difficult, he survived by himself.
Helplessly, the general's wife mentioned before that his father and mother were looking for him and traveled all over the country, and they felt very guilty about him, and they didn't have the grace of nurturing, at least they had the grace of life, and he just wanted to tell them that he was very good and didn't have to mind
At first, he complained in his heart, but as time passed, the strong emotions of the year gradually faded.
Being able to go to the antique market, Mo Xiaohe was very excited, after she washed, she couldn't sleep for a while, she wrote a letter to her father, she was used to reporting good news and not bad news, Widow Fan's farce was hidden, focusing on the small details of her and Gu Zheng's relationship and what she saw along the way.
I asked the shopkeeper before going upstairs, and the Mo family's shop is on the front street, the most prosperous section, and it is a happy shop.
It sells wedding clothes, dragon and phoenix candles, hijabs, flower crowns worn on the heads of the brides, as well as some decorations of the wedding room, curtains and bed tents, etc., one-stop service, which is very popular with the people in the city.
Basically, rich families are proud to be able to get the wedding clothes of the Mo family's happy shop, and it is said that they can touch the joy of the queen's mother, and the woman is inseparable from her husband.
Mo Xiaohe supports his forehead, it is not simple to cross women, and combines the modern advertising effect with the customs and customs of Dayue, and uses it to call it a smooth slip, fooling these ancients, without any burden in his heart at all.
The Mo family is rich and rivals the country, and every year a large amount of silver is handed over into the treasury, and the people in the clan do not have any military generals, do not involve military power, do not commit taboos, and the emperor and queen are like idle clouds and wild cranes, and they look at the power very lightly.
As the daughter of the Mo family, her waist is very hard, and she feels supported by the clansmen in the back, which is particularly good.
Seeing that it was noon, Gu Zheng went downstairs to buy and eat the characteristics of the city for his wife, and he had long heard that in South Street, there was a time-honored osmanthus duck, famous in Dayue.
"Cousin, you're cousin!"
On the passing carriage, a woman got down, and before the carriage stopped, she jumped out of the carriage in embarrassment, and almost fell into a.
Gu Zheng looked at her coldly, expressionless, standing in place without moving, and did not step forward to help.
A moment later, a maid hurriedly got out of the carriage and said angrily, "Miss, what are you doing in such a hurry, people won't run!" ”
"Gu Gongzi, our young lady's name is Qing'er, she is your cousin, I heard that you are from Dawu, so I came to greet you."
There are still about five days to go from here to the Gu family in the north, and Su Qing'er misses her cousin in her heart, so she waits on the road.
The news of Gu Zheng's marriage has not yet reached the north, and the family only knows that he is married and wants to marry a peasant girl in the mountains.
Peasant women, barely a good concubine, the Gu family is a famous family in the north, and the daughters-in-law of the clan are all from famous families.
The general's wife went to Dawu to do business, but she hadn't returned yet, and the letter she sent was delayed on the way, and the Gu family only knew one of them, but didn't know the other.
"I don't have a cousin, please get out of the way."
Gu Zheng had a calm face, and he didn't want to say more, his little lady was hungry, how could he be in the mood to talk nonsense with cats and dogs here.
"It's you, that's right, I have your portrait."
Su Qing'er blinked, she had been waiting here for three days, and she had been asking at the city gate every day.
Gu Zheng has a scar on his face, and he is tall, and he can't find a second one in the city, so he is very recognizable, she gave the city guards a piece of silver, and asked them to help keep an eye on it, as soon as they entered the city this morning, Su Qing'er got the news
"I'm your cousin, we met when we were kids."
It's just that at that time, Gu Zheng was wearing open crotch pants, and she had just been born for a month, and she didn't recognize anyone.
Gu Zheng's mother likes Su Qinger very much, and once joked that the two would set a baby kiss. It's just that when he met a mountain bandit when he traveled later, Gu Zheng's life and death were uncertain, and the Su family was afraid of mentioning this family affair and asked Su Qing'er to keep the festival.
Su Qing'er got married at the age of sixteen, and after three months of marriage, her husband got a strange disease, convulsions, and died, she became a widow and was taken back to the Su family, and sometimes she would go to Gufu to live.
I heard that my cousin Gu Zheng was still alive and had not yet married, so the Su family's mind was lively, and they talked about the former marriage contract, but they didn't dare to say it too obviously.
Su Qing'er Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, so she specially went on the road in advance, wanting to meet Gu Zheng before everyone else.
"Hey, young master, you haven't recognized your ancestors yet, so you ...... to my young lady"
The maid was very angry when she saw that Gu Zheng didn't give face at all, which made her young lady lose face.
No matter what the other party said, Gu Zheng didn't react, he thought in his heart, if he bought osmanthus duck and queued up for a long time, his own lady was in a hurry, so he might as well choose a few things she liked to eat first.
Here, Mo Xiaohe wrote a letter to her family, and when she heard the commotion downstairs, she opened the door and came to the terrace to watch the excitement, condescending and with a wide field of vision.
"Husband!"
Gu Zheng was entangled by two women, dressed richly, he should be from a big family, and the one who was blocked by the maid looked like a woman who had been married.
Killed a widow Zhang, deceived a widow Fan, is there another one?
Mo Xiaohe beckoned on the terrace, and the group below looked up, especially Su Qing'er, who chuckled in her heart, "Cousin, are you married?" ”
How is it possible, didn't you say that you had just made a marriage? Could it be that the woman's family knew that he wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, so he used the next means to force marriage, it must be like this!
What if you get married, you don't worship the high hall and give tea to her aunt, this family affair is not recognized at all.
Su Qing'er ignored Gu Zheng, turned around and took the maid directly into the cyclamen, asked about the room, and entered the room.
"You're that Yamano Village Girl? Sure enough, I was so uneducated, I saw our eldest lady, and I didn't go out to greet him! ”
Su Qing'er took two maids, menacing, and entered the room without knocking, one of the maids took out a handkerchief and wiped the chair, and the other maid helped Su Qing'er lift her skirt, and she sat on the chair.
Mo Xiaohe dried his pen and ink, put away his family letters, and was almost amused by the performance of these jumping clowns. Uninvited, who is more uneducated?
"Oh, Miss, it's not good to blame the little one, you entered the door before you went out to greet you."
Mo Xiaohe sighed twice, guessing Su Qing'er's identity in her heart, it seems that she should not be Gu Zheng's sister.
"Our young lady is Gu Gongzi's cousin, and the two once had a marriage contract, so don't talk about it in the future, don't be ashamed of any husband!"
Seeing that Mo Xiaohe was wearing an ordinary cotton dress, the maid looked down a little in her heart, a village girl was not as valuable as these faceless maids, and she was already polite when she spoke like this
"Engagement? Your young lady is not combing the woman's hair in a bun, she should be married, and my husband is not picking up rags. ”
Mo Xiaohe has already affirmed that there is a widow in front of her, she should really go to the temple with Gu Zheng to pray for God and Buddha, this is a widow's robbery.
"You ......"
The maid glared angrily, "Hugh is rampant, the queen encourages women to remarry, you say this, are you against the mother?" ”
"But widows are not encouraged to rob other people's husbands."
Mo Xiaohe spread her hands, looking like she didn't eat oil and salt, she had to play a little character, and now she hadn't arrived at Gu's house, so she sent someone to give her a dismount, when she was a face? casually let people bully it, it's too embarrassing for the Mo family's daughter.
"What do you mean by robbery, it's obvious that my young lady and Gu Gongzi have a marriage contract first, but it's you, who know each other, hurry up and please my young lady, our young lady is not intolerable, as soon as you are happy, you should be rewarded with a roommate."
The maid was arrogant and arrogant, while Su Qing'er was silent and watched the excitement happily.
Downstairs, Gu Zheng struggled for a while, and finally decided to go shopping first.
Just that stupid trio, it's not his own lady's opponent at all, he goes up, it's likely to be a disadvantage, the bigger problem is that there is no food, let the lady fight hungry, she will definitely be furious.
Mo Xiaohe was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and after a verbal battle, she closed her mouth, and when her stomach growled, she didn't want to speak.
Su Qing'er and the maid felt that Mo Xiaohe was afraid of them, after all, they came out of the village and had never seen the world, and they were so happy that they could live in such a good inn.
Gu Zheng bought some bacon, and bought oily flatbread and shredded potatoes in another shop, and hurried back to the inn as fast as possible.
He turned a blind eye to the three of them, and after cleaning his hands, he began to give his wife burritos to eat.
"Hmph, the rough food of the mountains, no wonder the hillbillies like it."
The maid scoffed at the bacon flatbread, didn't she say that the Dawu people were particular even if they were village girls, it seemed that they were all rumors and couldn't be true.
"Husband, add a layer of sauce, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Mo Xiaohe pulled her husband's sleeve and acted coquettishly, completely ignoring Su Qing'er and his party.
"Really...... In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun ......"
Su Qing'er didn't like this cousin, I heard that he was a hunter and made a living from hunting, so I couldn't imagine what it was.
But she can't be high or low, it is difficult to marry for the second time, she is not yet twenty years old, she can't always be an old girl at home, and the best opportunity is in front of her.
She got out of the carriage and saw him with a cold appearance, and her heart was instantly moved, the disfigured face was pleasing to the eye when she looked at it, and her cousin had a masculine taste that the sons of big families did not have.
"The widow comes into the house, ah into the house."
Mo Xiaohe didn't say anything, but instead sang it, made up a small song by herself, watched Su Qing'er while singing, and emphasized her widowhood
"You...... It's too much of a deception! ”
Su Qing'er was almost so angry that she vomited a mouthful of blood, stood up, thought about it, and sat down elegantly, she just didn't leave, what can the village girl do with her?
Mo Xiaohe was full of food and drink, and finally had the strength, she asked Gu Zheng not to worry, bought the osmanthus duck, just wait downstairs, and leave it to her to solve it here.
"Miss Cousin, what are your plans, just say it."
Deliberately emphasizing "", Miss, as it is called, it is indeed appropriate.
Poured a cup of tea, Mo Xiaohe crossed Erlang's legs without any image, she can do whatever she likes, anyway, there are no videos and videos here, just relying on a mouth, how to say it.
Su Qing'er couldn't say anything good, so why did she have to be low? Besides, there is no need for this.
"You ......"
The maid was shocked by Mo Xiaohe's technique of changing her face, a second ago she was still a delicate little lady held by her husband in the palm of her hand, how could she leave, she was almost the same as the gangsters on the street, so rude, it was really from the village.
"Leave my cousin."
Su Qing'er didn't want to pretend, and threatened, "It's polite to talk to you now, do you believe it or not, people like you will be beaten out when you arrive at the Gu family?" ”
Hit it out? It's really ridiculous, regardless of whether Su Qing'er represents the Gu family's attitude or not, but at least the Gu family acquiesces to this and lets her come to find a difference.
At this point, Mo Xiaohe thought that what she was worried about might have to become a reality, and she couldn't expect to get along with her in-laws.
In these years, people care more about their temperament and temperament, not their eyes, but their identity and status.
They think that she is a village girl, and her father is just a showman, not worthy of the Gu family of a wealthy family, so she can be tempered at will.
"Very good, I'll leave the words here today, the Gu family doesn't need to carry a sedan chair, I won't come to the door."
Rolled her eyes, there is a backstage behind her, and she is hard to speak, the queen mother said that the Mo family girl is precious, what is she missing? If someone blasts him out as soon as he enters the door, what will happen to the Mo family's face?
"Hehe, that's funny."
Su Qing'er sneered, looked Mo Xiaohe up and down, her appearance was also delicate, no wonder she was fascinated by her cousin, but there are many beautiful maids, you can buy one for a few dozen taels of silver, and when she marries, just bring a few more dowries.
"Okay, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, look at what you mean, aren't you leaving?"
Mo Xiaohe yawned, she was a little sleepy and urgently needed to find a comfortable environment to sleep.
Cyclamen is a good place, but by luck, I met my husband's cousin.
"Of course, Miss Ben wants to be with her cousin."
Su Qing'er looked at the tea in the teapot, it was very ordinary, she beckoned to the maid she was carrying, and asked her to make tea with the teapot and tea bowl she carried.
This is the elegance of everyone's daughter, not comparable to the village girl in the mountains.
"You're here, there's no problem, but this room costs fifty taels of silver a night
。 ”
When Su Qing'er heard Mo Xiaohe open her mouth and close her mouth to mention the silver, she was secretly happy in her heart, how could such a woman enter her aunt's eyes?
When my aunt was young, she was a well-known talented woman, she didn't eat fireworks in the world, she hated the smell of copper the most, and the trivial matters at home were all managed by the marrying grandmother.
"This is two hundred taels of silver tickets, for you, you can buy several acres of land, you take a little dowry, marry a mountain village wild man."
Su Qing'er made a gesture to the maid, and the maid reluctantly took out the silver ticket from her purse and handed it to Mo Xiaohe.
"The best field, twenty taels of silver per acre, more expensive near Kyoto, and a dowry ......"
In other words, these coins are simply not enough.
"I'll give you another hundred taels, get away!"
Su Qing'er was very impatient, she didn't bring too many taels of silver with her when she went out, three hundred taels was enough for daily expenses, and what she bought was basically bookkeeping.
"Sister-in-law, thank you cousin for this gift."
Mo Xiaohe took the silver, packed up his baggage, turned around and went out, and at the corner of the stairs, he said something that could make Su Qing'er angry.
The person who came was not good, and she didn't have to be polite to someone who couldn't be beaten by eight poles.
found Gu Zheng in the shop in front of the osmanthus duck, Mo Xiaohe immediately became an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, no matter how strong a woman is, she must rely on her husband for protection.
"Husband, I can't fight her, let's let the cyclamen come."
Mo Xiaohe pursed her lips and lined up with Gu Zheng, "I told the shopkeeper that the room will be given to your cousin, and I will come back with fifty taels of silver." ”
Not only that, but there are also three hundred taels of silver that he cheated from Su Qing'er.
"The lady has been wronged, let's find another inn."
A smile flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes, and soon his face became condensed again, looking at his mother's smug appearance, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like she had been wronged, it was estimated that Su Qing'er was completely defeated, and she was half angry to death.
"Let's go to the shopkeeper and ask the shopkeeper to help arrange it."
If you want to ask the shopkeeper to help pass the family letter, you must inform that the shopkeeper is a descendant of the Mo family and will make proper arrangements.
I heard that it was the Mo family, Mo Xiaohe got the best courtesy, the Mo family has a special house in the city, and the layout is several grades higher than that of the cyclamen.
The dinner was brought by the kitchen people, and the dishes were all modern flavors, and it was said that the queen mother liked it, and she actually ate stinky tofu.
"Miss, don't look at this stinky tofu and smell it, but it tastes good, if it doesn't suit your taste, we'll withdraw it."
The servants of the Mo family are very respectful, and Mo Xiaohe was called Miss for the first time, and she always felt a little weird but ironed in her heart.
What is the Gu family that she is facing immediately, she is covered by the queen mother, and she is not afraid of anything!
"Don't withdraw, since the mother likes it, it must be different."
Mo Xiaohe hurriedly waved her hand, stinky tofu is one of her favorite snacks, it is rare to be able to taste the most authentic taste, and it must not be missed.
