Chapter 168: I want to go to Beijing
(Oh, oh, I must have been dizzy, I put the update that was written in the middle of the night last night, but I forgot to release it regularly...... Cover your face! Immediately on the second watch, and then weakly begged for pink, the Lun family doesn't want to be exploded chrysanthemum~~~)
Ouyang Mulan didn't recognize it, but the guy looked at the boy who came to talk, his face turned green.
Although this is secretive, isn't it the son of the Hou family? It's too embarrassing to gossip for a long time in front of people. His face was flustered, and the soles of his feet slipped with oil, leaving Hou Fangyu to inquire about the capital.
"It turns out that the girl is the young lady of the Ouyang family, disrespectful and disrespectful. Sister Mu, how is she doing? Did you find her dad? β
Seeing his anxious series of questions, Ouyang Mulan secretly smiled evilly, but asked with a serious face, "Who are you, what do I have to tell you?" β
Hou Fangyu couldn't say it directly, but said, "Since you know her, have you seen Zixiao?" I gave her the horse. β
"So the elder brother is the horse you raised?" Ouyang Mulan's face was abrupt, as if she had let down her guard against him, but she pretended to be sad and said, "But Sister Mu is not doing well, she has not found her father, and she has to do business outside all day long." It must be snowing in the capital right now, and I don't know if she can continue to do her business on such a cold day, and whether she has any money to make. β
Ouyang Mumei looked at her sister in astonishment, her little face was full of curiosity, Sister Mu and her big brother are together, so they won't even have to eat, right? Wouldn't my sister be too exaggerated?
But Hou Fangyu didn't think it was an exaggeration, he not only believed it, but also immediately became anxious, "How can this be?" Doesn't she have any money on her? Isn't she with Ouyang Kang? He doesn't care? β
Ouyang Mulan sighed. "Who said my brother didn't care? But Sister Mu is strong, the price in the capital is so expensive, and she doesn't want my brother to keep it for nothing, so she has to go out to do business. Tsk, a crystal roll only sells for fifteen yuan, and the business is not good, and she still refuses to let me tell her family, for fear that they will worry, which is really pitiful. β
Hou Fangyu felt a tingling pain in his heart when he heard this, and even his voice trembled. "That's her. Why didn't she come back with you? β
Ouyang Mulan blinked and said nonsense, "When I left Beijing, she happened to be sick. Who would dare to put her on the road? β
"What? Is she still sick? What disease? Is that serious? β
"It's a wind chill. She could barely get up and do business when I left. Now I don't know what to do. β
Hou Fangyu's eyes suddenly turned red. He sketched a miserable picture in his mind of his sick sister Nianfu still having to stand up to do business, and he was so distressed that he couldn't sit still, "Thank you girl for telling me." I. I'll go back first! β
He wants to go to Beijing, he must go to Beijing! Otherwise, what would his sister Do?
Looking at his anxious back leaving, Ouyang Mulan covered her mouth unkindly and snickered, Ouyang Mumei couldn't help frowning, "Sister, why are you lying?" Sister Mu is doing well, and she is not sick at all. β
Ouyang Mulan pursed her lips, "I just want to make this kid surnamed Hou anxious, who made him so unproductive?" actually divorced, do you know how much damage this does to a girl's reputation? β
Ouyang Mumei was a little puzzled, "How do you know that his surname is Hou?" β
"What a smart person your sister is, I pinched my fingers, what is nothing?" Ouyang Banxian wouldn't tell her sister that she had seen Zixiao's accessories engraved with the word Hou, and she had asked Nianfu at that time, but Nianfu was vague and refused to say it clearly, it turned out to be her fiancΓ©!
Hmph, look at this kid's useless appearance, can he still find the capital?
But this time Ouyang Banxian miscalculated, avoiding Hou Fangyu, who was home from the back door from Miss Yao, and said resolutely to his grandfather and parents, "I want to go to Beijing." Even if Miss Ouyang coaxed me, I had to go and see it. β
Old lady Hou thought about it, and nodded in agreement, "Then the Yao family girl is too unseemly, it's better for Yu'er to go out to avoid the limelight." If you don't feel at ease, I'll accompany him on this trip myself. β
Hou Xianglin said, "But this is about to be the New Year, Dad, you don't go out much, right?" β
Old lady Hou snorted coldly, "The girl of the Yao family is blocked at the door every day, and we stay at home, can we have a good year this year?" While our two fathers are away, it's serious for you to take care of the trouble you caused as soon as possible! These days, the family business is not as good as before, and I don't go to find the way anymore, do I really wait to sit and eat? Don't persuade it, this matter is settled. Yu'er, you go to contact the car and boat, and our grandfather and grandson pack up their luggage and go on the road. β
Hou Xianglin and his wife looked at each other, ashamed.
Because of such a big turmoil caused by his son's marriage, many honest and honest old business partners in the past were reluctant to associate with their family, and coupled with the matter of Miss Yao Liu, Yao Tongzhi also made a stumbling block.
He originally calculated that he wanted to give his daughter to Lord Thorn Shi as a concubine, but he gave his daughter such a trouble, not to mention that there was a tigress in Lord Thorn Shi's family who refused to agree, and even Lord Thorn Shi himself was not happy. blame him for teaching his daughter no way, he doesn't talk much, he gave him some small shoes to wear, Yao Tongzhi has no place to go, what if he doesn't take the Hou family to be angry?
At present, although the faΓ§ade of the Hou family is there, the inside is gradually empty. If you don't want to think of a way, you really have to sit and eat nothing.
Hou Xianglin had already regretted it, "I knew today, what did we toss at the beginning?" It's good to marry the Mu family, how can there be these bad things? β
Mrs. Hou also regretted that she made a fuss about this marriage, not to mention the damage to her own money, and even her son didn't kiss her, "Or, this time Yu'er will go to Beijing and think about picking up this family affair?" β
Hou Xianglin shook his head suddenly, "Dad will definitely not open this mouth." How embarrassing is this? The Shi family will not be willing. β
But Mrs. Hou didn't think things were so bad, "Isn't there still Yu'er?" Let him go, and get along with Sister Mu. That girl is still very good to Yu'er, and she has always called him Brother Fang Yu. When the two of them are willing, won't it be logical? β
Hou Xianglin touched his chin and thought about it, it makes sense! If you can do this, it will not only fulfill your son's heart, but also save the reputation of the Hou family, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone?
"Let Hou Gui come over, let me give you a detailed order, let him follow the opportunity to act, and be sure to push it at the critical moment. Otherwise, Yu'er, this kid is a little solid-eyed, and he won't come to trouble. β
Mrs. Hou nodded heavily and hurriedly searched for someone.
And Ouyang Kang, who was far away in the capital, suddenly sneezed and touched his nose suspiciously, is there something bad about happening?
Downstairs, I suddenly heard Nianfu's reprimanding voice, "You little villain, how can you steal your own chickens?" Have you eaten them all? Oh my God, you're not afraid to die! β
Ouyang Kang hurriedly rushed downstairs, "It's still small, don't kill it." β
"You're used to it!"
"It's not sensible, and it's useless for you to lose your temper. Wangcai, come here, listen to me tell you......"

Two days later, Ouyang Mulan took her sister and finally returned to their hometown, Huai'an.
It's an ordinary town, so ordinary that there's nothing special to be proud of, because it has been raining for the first two days, and the road covered with black mud still looks a little dirty, and it's not so pleasant.
However, when I heard the familiar accent similar to my father and brother in the streets and alleys, it made people suddenly feel a little instinctive intimacy. Even, there was a little excitement at the beginning.
Yes, that's the taste of the vernacular.
Yes, that's the joy of returning to the roots.
"It's coming, it's coming!" When they were about to arrive at the door of the house, they had received the letter early in the morning, and the family members who came to Xuancheng to pick them up couldn't help but rejoice, and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, they heard a burst of firecrackers, which surprised Ouyang Mulan and Xiao Mumei in the car.
On the contrary, Mama Zhao told them happily, "Don't be afraid, girls, this is the etiquette of welcoming distinguished guests in the countryside, and the old lady is welcoming you back!" β
Is it grandmother?
Ouyang Mulan's heart was hot, and she suddenly became nervous again, touching her hair and touching her face, "I'm okay like this?" Nothing rude, right? β
Her nervousness made Xiao Mumei nervous too, "What about me, what about me, sister, look, am I okay?" β
"It's all good, it's all good." Mama Zhao looked at their nervous appearance, and happily relaxed their hearts, but she couldn't help but straighten her clothes. The heart said that the old lady gave face to the girl like this, that is, to give the wife face. As the chief steward sent back by her wife, she can't lose her wife's face.
With a roar, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Ouyang family's five-entry old mansion. The firecrackers have never stopped, making a lot of noise, but making people's hearts warm, as if they have dispelled the fatigue on the road.
Ouyang Mulan settled down, and someone opened the car curtain, the old mansion was decorated with lights, red felt paved the floor, and everyone was wearing new clothes that would only be worn during the New Year, and an old lady with gray hair was waiting at the door.
When looking at the old lady's loving smile, Ouyang Mulan's heart was hot, and she forgot to help the maid's hand, so she quickly pulled her sister to jump off the car, walked quickly to the old lady and knelt down.
"My granddaughter is not filial, and I just came back today to ask my grandmother for ......" before the words were finished, but his throat was already choked unconsciously.
Infected by such emotions, Xiao Mumei couldn't even say a word, only called her grandmother, and cried.
The old lady looked at their sisters, tears flashed in her eyes, "Okay, good, all good children." Come inside and talk! β
The third wife, Lu Shi, followed with a smile, but she pouted a little. I thought that what kind of big beauty was coming from the capital, this eldest lady really didn't look very good, but the second lady who came out of the house was born well. Does this mean that the sister-in-law behind her family is not as good as her?
You must know that since the third wife of Lu Dao entered the door, she has been compared with her deceased sister-in-law Cui Shi, who has really been holding back her evil anger for more than ten years, and today she suddenly found that she was at the bottom, and her mood was indescribably raised, and even her enthusiasm index for the Ouyang sisters increased by three points. Therefore, the Ouyang family's reunion this time is really happy to see each other.
When he finished recognizing people, finished saluting, and sat down to speak, Ouyang Mulan noticed the three people in the room. (To be continued......)
