Chapter 13
Gu Sanniang saw that the goddess was wrong, so she quickly put down the spatula in her hand and asked out loud, "Yezi, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yezi seemed to run all the way back, Da Dongyue was so tired that she was sweating profusely, she gasped in her mouth, stood in front of Gu Sanniang, exhaled deeply, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I saw Uncle and Uncle Niang." ”
Gu Sanniang was shocked, at this time, the countryside is idle, and the villagers are generally nested at home in the winter, and their small township, and the idlers will not go out lightly, most of them have never been to the county in their lives, how could Wang Jinsuo and his wife come over?
"Are you right?" Gu Sanniang asked with a calm face.
Xiao Yezi stared and nodded, she said: "I originally thought I was wrong, but then I quietly followed, and sure enough, it was the uncle, he dragged Brother Dazhu with a board cart and went directly into the hospital, as if he was sick." ”
Hearing this, Gu Sanniang already understood a little, this Wang Dazhu is Wang Jinsuo's son, except for the first one in Wang Jinsuo's family, the next three are all sisters, so the two of them regard Dazhu as an eyeball, and they are so pampered that they are idle, and now they are teenagers, and they are about to marry, and the farm work in the field is not good for the sisters in the family. Today, Xiao Yezi saw Dazhu in the infirmary, it must be that Dazhu is seriously ill, otherwise Wang Jinsuo would not have taken Dazhu to the county to seek medical treatment from so far away.
Xiao Yezi glanced at her mother and said, "I was afraid that they would see it, so I ran home quickly." ”
No matter what serious illness Dazhu had, in short, hearing that they had suffered, Gu Sanniang felt very relieved, she sneered, and cursed in her mouth: "Retribution!" ”
Xiao Yezi remembered that after his father died, her mother was bullied by her uncle, and she couldn't help but say worriedly: "Mother, what if they come here, uncle?" ”
"Come on, I'm still afraid of them?" Gu Sanniang really hated that family in her life, if she wasn't a woman's family, why would she be powerless to watch her family property being taken away? Now she has no ability to take revenge, Wang Jinsuo doesn't come to provoke her, if she tries hard, she just wants her life, and she has to pull them to sue the official.
Seeing Gu Sanniang's fierce face, Xiao Yezi thought for a while, and comforted herself: "I guess Uncle they will definitely not dare to come to make trouble, you must know that Uncle Qin Lin can be an errand in the county government." ”
"What you said is very true, but you remember to walk around less these days, I am not afraid of anything else, I am afraid that you will suffer if you meet them." This is the county seat, Gu Sanniang will not let them pinch and flatten like in her hometown, but she is on an errand in Xiuzhuang on weekdays, and there are only small leaves at home, Gu Sanniang is worried that if she meets Wang Jinsuo and is bullied, she will say a few words.
"Mother, I know, now that Brother Dazhu is sick, I don't think Uncle They may have the energy to take care of others." Xiao Yezi said.
Gu Sanniang nodded, the mother and daughter talked for a while, seeing that the hour was not early, Gu Sanniang asked Xiao Yezi to help light the fire, thinking that Wang Jinsuo's family was unlucky, Gu Sanniang's steps were a little brisker.
coincided with the Winter Solstice Festival, many of the county's markets have not yet opened, Xiao Yezi went out for a turn, bought a handful of cabbage, twenty eggs, plus a dried fish, and half a catty of wild mushrooms, Gu Sanniang was happy today, and used her skills, pork stewed radish, dry roasted red fish, cabbage fried Yeru, and stewed a bowl of egg custard, spread a few egg cakes, although it was not rich, but the portion was very sufficient, if it wasn't for Xiao Yezi really didn't buy vegetables, she couldn't show her skills, and she had to cook a table of noodles, But this table of dishes is not bad, Brother Yu entered the kitchen, saw the dishes prepared on the board, he slapped happily, and said happily: "There is something delicious today." ”
Someone cheered, Gu Sanniang was naturally happy, she and Xiao Yezi brought the food to the table, Shen Zhuo saw that this table was full of meat and vegetarian, and he didn't know how much stronger than his own three or two tricks, so he said to Gu Sanniang: "Gu Niangzi is tired, just stay at home to eat today." ”
Gu Sanniang smiled, she said, "You don't need to say more, there are already food for me and Xiao Yezi in the kitchen, you take Brother Yu'er to eat first, and I will help clean up after eating before going back." ”
Shen Zhuo respected Gu Sanniang's sharp and untwisted character the most, and he also knew that it was inconvenient for her to serve on the table, so he didn't say more, then Gu Sanniang returned the money bag to Shen Zhuo, and said: "This table of meals cost thirty copper coins, you count." ”
Shen Zhuo still didn't believe Gu Sanniang, he took it, put it away without looking at it, and Gu Sanniang took Xiao Yezi to the kitchen to eat.
This Shen Zhuo and Dongfang Jian took Brother Yu to sit down, and Dongfang Jian took a piece of stewed soft fat meat and ate it, he tasted the taste, and said regretfully: "I have good cooking skills, but it's a pity that a pot of wine is missing." ”
Shen Zhuoquan didn't hear it, he gave Shen Yu a few dishes, and ate unhurriedly with his rice bowl.
Dongfang Jian had already forgotten the rule of not saying anything, and when he saw that Shen Zhuo ignored him, he said again: "It seems that you are very close to this little widow." ”
He saw that Gu Sanniang's mother and daughter were both wearing filial piety, so he guessed that Gu Sanniang was a widow, and when he asked, he heard Brother Yu say that the two of them were door to door, and Brother Yu often went to the little widow's house to play on weekdays, and sometimes Shen Zhuo took the students to study, and the little widow's daughter would also follow to listen.
Shen Zhuo put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, he glanced at Dongfang Jian and said, "After so many years, you still can't change the bad problem of gibberish." ”
Dongfang Jian saw Shen Zhuo so solemn, not only did he keep his mouth shut, but also jokingly said: "What's this, a widower with a widow is very appropriate." ”
Brother Yu'er, who was eating, raised his head, and he innocently asked, "What is a widower?" ”
Dongfang Jian is simply a narrow ghost, he heard Brother Yu'er's words, he snorted at Shen Zhuo, and said, "You ask your father!" ”
Brother Yu turned his head and looked at his father again, Shen Zhuo sandwiched a piece of meat for him, and said calmly: "Your father is a widower." ”
Brother Yu knew that the widow that Dongfang Jian just mentioned was Gu Sanniang, he thought for a while and said, "Does that father want to be with Aunt Gu?" ”
The corners of Shen Yu's eyebrows finally couldn't help twitching, he looked at Brother Yu sternly, shouted his name by name, and said: "Shen Yu, don't learn from your Dongfang Uncle Shi's nonsense, if others hear it, it will only provoke your Aunt Gu for no reason." ”
He and Gu Sanniang are innocent, and people are kind enough to help, but they send her behind their backs, if Gu Sanniang knows, according to her temperament, I am afraid that they will not be able to take him lightly.
That Dongfang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, in fact, it was just a joke just now, even if Shen Zhuo wanted to marry again, he would definitely be a woman who could match his background.
And said that Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi finished eating, and cleaned up the stove cleanly, and then returned to the West Chamber, as for Dongfang Inspection, it was really a strange temper that said that the wind is rain, and he said that he would stay in the county for a few days, and after eating, he suddenly said that he was going to leave and leave, and Shen Zhuo did not stay, and when he heard that he was leaving, he sent him out.
After walking to the door, Dongfang Jian straightened his clothes and said, "Okay, you don't need to send it, you can go in." ”
Shen Zhuo didn't plan to send him off, he asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Dongfang Jian looked at the horizon in the distance, and said casually: "Maybe it's Hengzhou, but it's not necessarily, maybe I'll turn around to Huangshan halfway." ”
Neither of them is sentimental people, even if they are separated, they will not feel reluctant, but thinking of the things in the capital, Dongfang Jian was silent for a moment and asked: "Is it possible that you really want to stay in this rural place for the rest of your life." ”
Shen Zhuo's eyes were calm, and he said calmly: "That's okay, there is no dispute here, I don't have to be burdened by fame, I can also calm down and read a few books." ”
Dongfang Jian pursed the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically: "Everyone is a vulgar man who seeks fame and fortune, and you are the most noble!"
Shen Zhuo chuckled and didn't speak, Dongfang couldn't see his appearance as a worldly master, so he snorted heavily in his mouth, led the horse and turned around.
Seeing Dongfang check out the alley, Shen Zhuo also turned around and closed the door, he stood at the door, and saw Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi sitting under the eaves to sort out the embroidery thread, somehow, the colorful silk threads were entangled, and their mother and daughter were not too cumbersome, and they had to untie them one by one, this is a job that requires patience, Xiao Yezi solved it for a long time, and the silk thread in his hand became more and more messy, and his face gradually showed an anxious look, but Gu Sanniang's finger movements were never in a hurry, and in less than half a day, the messy silk thread was untied by her.
Then, Gu Sanniang took the thread ball in Xiao Yezi's hand and said: "As the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you just blindly use brute force, and the thread will only get tighter and tighter." ”
As she spoke, she lowered her head and untied it for most of the day, and finally pulled out the first silk thread, Gu Sanniang said to Xiao Yezi in her mouth: "Don't look at the mess of threads, you only need to untie the first few threads, and the back ones will be very easy." ”
After speaking, Gu Sanniang returned the thread ball in her hand to Xiao Yezi, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Zhuo standing by the courtyard gate, and said, "Then the guest is leaving?" ”
Shen Zhuo realized that he had been stunned for a long time, he came back to his senses, nodded lightly, and said, "I haven't thanked you for your fatigue at noon." ”
Gu Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "You scholars love to thank you, you are all people who live in the same courtyard, but it's just a matter of helping, what's it worth?" ”
Shen Zhuo laughed, she was so simple, no matter how much she said, it would seem that he was sour and rotten, if there was anything to do in her family in the future, he would just help him more.
