Chapter 242: Beggar Woman

Zhou was stunned when he heard that his daughter was going to eat soup noodles, and then he smiled again, and said: "You, when you used to make soup noodles at home, you frowned and shouted that you to eat, so you just took that bite, as if eating more can medicine you." It's good now, this day is good, you eat everything in the house, but you want to eat the soup noodles made by your mother, it's really unblessed. Zhou nagged his daughter, but he hurried down to prepare.

Qiaozhen smiled softly, it felt so good at home, and the nagging sound was also beautiful.

"Hong'er, how is your sister osmanthus doing?" Qiao Zhen asked Osmanthus, Qiao Hong was going to say kiss, Osmanthus was not young, and I didn't know if she had any thoughts in her heart.

"It's still like that, my mother said that she would do something for her family, but she didn't do it, she said that she wouldn't do that thought, and she would make clothes and serve milk all day long. It's quite comfortable. I advised her to go out and walk more, but she didn't want to, she said she had nothing to say to people when she went out. It's better to stay at home, and grandma, grandma Yu, and sister-in-law Jia said it, but I think this is also the case, and the hurt in Sister Osmanthus needs time to be raised. Qiaohong and the eldest sister told the truth.

"Well, what you said is, let's go see the milk." Qiao Zhen took Qiao Hong to see the courtyard to see Chen and Grandma Yu.

The two of them were very happy to see Qiao Zhen, and they held her hand and kept asking if it was okay. Qiao Zhen gossiped with the two of them, feeling warm. Life here is more comfortable than in Funai.

After eating and talking for a long time, Qiaozhen took the car back and returned to the house, she told Chen Xuanyu about it, Chen Xuanyu nodded after listening, and signaled that he would send someone to investigate.

After some investigation, it is not much different from what the matchmaker said, the kid of the Qian family has no secret diseases, he is not too smart, but he is not stupid, he is not the kind of person who reads stupidly, Father Qian is real. Mother Qian is more refreshing, and she is in charge of the family, but she is not harsh, and she should not be an unreasonable mother-in-law.

The Qian family's family style is also innocent, although they don't have any family background, but they can still live their lives, the Wang family can't use his family's help, and Qiaohong's private house is also a lot, and he can stand up if he marries.

In fact, the reason why the Qian family is so anxious to find a good girl is that they are afraid that Qian Xuezhong will not be able to take the Xiucai exam in the coming year, so many women will think that he is unproductive. This life is over, Qian Xuezhongguang can study, he can't make a living, he doesn't succeed in studying, and sooner or later he will hollow out his family's foundation. At that time, the Qian family will be completely dead, and the woman will have to suffer. So a lot of people don't want to. are all waiting and seeing, if Qian Xuezhong can be admitted to Xiucai next year, there must be a lot of people who are willing to marry their daughters, and it is still more difficult before they are admitted.

Qian's mother was also afraid that her son would not be able to pass the exam, so she wanted to find a good one in advance, so that she could not dislike her own family at this time. I will definitely be able to live with peace of mind. So this is also the reason why they are willing to look at each other.

Qiaozhen went back and told Zhou and Qiaohong about the situation, although Zhou was a little hesitant, but he still decided to listen to his daughter to see if she was willing to marry Zhuangzi or marry a scholar.

Qiao Hong finally said that she would look at each other before making a decision. can't be decided like this, Qiaozhen and Zhou also agreed, Qiaozhen didn't have to participate in this matter, and let Zhou and the matchmaker arrange it. The woman has to look at the man, and the man has to look at the woman, so it will take a lot of time to walk down in such a circle, and you will listen to it.

The days have entered December, the weather is colder, Qiaozhen feels that this year is particularly cold, and he has to use the hand stove early, the soup woman, and the brazier in the house. She rarely goes out now, and she doesn't go to her mother's house much, it's too cold, and she can't stand the cold.

Chen Xuanyu basically doesn't go out anymore, he stays with Qiaozhen every day, gossips, and sets up a formation, studies and studies the art of war, and lives a comfortable life.

The housekeeper began to purchase New Year's goods, and Qiaozhen also looked at the list every day, and wanted to give a New Year's gift to his mother's family, this year is the first year that they became married, and the New Year's gift can not be light. Otherwise, people will laugh at you. However, Chen Xuanyu arranged so that Qiaozhen couldn't pick anything, one pig, four dishes. A few pastries, and a silver ticket of one hundred taels.

Qiaozhen knows that the New Year's gifts given by the daughters who went out in the first year of Zhuangzi are generally two catties to ten catties of pork, four dishes, and a little silver will be given if the conditions are good, and the full Zhuangzi sent like Chen Xuanyu can't be found, you must know that the New Year's gift given by the original owner in the first year of marriage is two catties of meat and four dishes, and nothing else, so that the people in Zhuangzi who are waiting to see what the Xiucai lady will send laughed at the Wang family. Not this time. Others can only envy it. Qiao Zhen smiled, just wait for about twenty to send it to the Wang family.

Qiao Zhen arranged for someone to buy another copy, which was intended to be given to Mrs. Qin, the old lady was even more reluctant to go out, Qiao Zhen hadn't seen her for nearly two months, it was going to be the New Year, so she had to go and visit.

Qiao Zhen planned to find a good day to see, but the sky was not beautiful, and it snowed for three days in a row.

The day finally stopped, and it was really a gift, she said to Chen Xuanyu, got into the carriage and went out.

In addition to Qiaozhen, there was also a mother-in-law in the carriage and Yingzi followed, Qiaozhen warmed up with a stove, she didn't dare to look out of the window, afraid of the cold wind coming in.

"Okay, okay, uncle, okay, let's stutter." Suddenly, a voice came from outside, and it should have been begging.

"Go away." A male voice came.

"The old woman hasn't eaten for three days, it's so cold this day, the old woman is afraid that she will freeze and starve to death, so the uncle is pitiful and pitiful, give me a stutter." The voice of the beggar came again.

Haven't eaten in three days? It's been snowing for the past three days, she shouldn't have begged for anything to eat, Qiao Zhen sighed secretly in her heart, poor people have it everywhere, don't say it if you can't meet it, you can't care if you meet it, don't say anything else, it's okay to stutter.

"Stop." Qiao Zhen shouted, and the coachman hurriedly stopped the car and asked what he was told.

"Mother Li, there are pastries in the car, please get out of the car and send them to the beggar." Qiao Zhen commanded softly.

"Yes, the old slave obeys." Mrs. Li responded, took Qiaozhen's pastry, and got out of the carriage.

The time when the curtain was lifted was really shivering, it was really cold outside, but she didn't shrink back, she wanted to see if there were many people begging in this area, and if there was any way to solve it.

Near their carriage sat a beggar, her white hair was disheveled, her face was covered with mud, she could no longer see her original appearance, her clothes were a little thin, shivering in the cold wind, and it was sad to look at, but such a picture did not win people's sympathy, and the big man she begged was kicking her away, disgusted that her black hands stained his clothes.

Mrs. Li hurriedly went over and helped the beggar up. The beggar's body was very weak, she couldn't get up when she fell to the ground, she was cold and hungry, she felt that life was passing, I was afraid that she would die in a few days, right? I'm afraid she won't be able to survive this winter, but what if her son dies? Who will take care of him? A cloudy liquid fell from the corner of the beggar's eye.

She saw a well-dressed mother-in-law beside her to help her, and she was still holding something in her hand, so she said, "You can do it, give it to your stutter." ”

Mrs. Li also felt sad, the other party was bigger than herself, and it was really pitiful to end up like this, but fortunately because of her grandmother's kindness, she didn't dare to get out of the car to help if she wanted to, for fear of delaying her grandmother's business.

She opened the paper bag in her hand, revealing the pastry inside, and said, "Here, take it and eat it, this is what our grandmother gave you." ”

The old beggar didn't hear Mrs. Li's words clearly, her eyes were completely attracted by the pastry, and her eyes couldn't be staggered, this is a good pastry, is it for her to eat? No way! She looked at Mrs. Li suspiciously.

Mrs. Li nodded at her, and the old beggar saw that it was true, and she couldn't help but kowtow to Mrs. Li. Then he took the pastry with trembling hands.

She picked up a piece and brought it to her mouth, as if she remembered something, she swallowed vigorously, put the pastry back down, wrapped it and stuffed it into her bosom.

"Why don't you eat it?" Mrs. Li saw her movements clearly, she could see her mother-in-law's desire to eat, she should be really hungry, but why didn't she eat? Mrs. Li was puzzled.

"Hehe, I also have a sick son, I want to keep it for him to eat." The old beggar laughed hard.

Mrs. Li sighed, it's really not easy, this winter, there has just been a snowfall, there is a sick son at home, relying on the old mother to beg for a living, how did such a day come, how can they live in the future.

"Where's your grandmother? I'm going to kowtow to her, she's really a living bodhisattva, she's such a good person. The old beggar sighed.

"No need, my grandmother doesn't want this, you go back quickly, don't get frostbite if you wear so little." Mrs. Li waved her hand, she knew that her grandmother was not for her gratitude.

"That's not right, I have to kowtow." The old beggar said sincerely.

Mrs. Li saw that she was sincere, and pointed to her in the carriageway: "Hey, that's my grandmother." ”

The old beggar looked over, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and there was a lady with a beautiful face sitting inside, although she was not dressed gorgeously, but at a glance she knew that it was everyone.

The old beggar climbed a few steps to the carriage and kowtowed: "Thank you grandma for your great kindness, thank you grandma for saving your life, grandma is really a living bodhisattva, grandma ......"

The beggar said in a dumb voice, she suddenly raised her head, stared at the people in the carriage, the more she looked at her face, the more ugly her face became, and her body couldn't stop trembling, she finally stretched out a finger and pointed at Qiaozhen, trembling: "You, you, you ......"

Qiao Zhen frowned, when the beggar kowtowed, she told Mrs. Li to let her help her up, no need to kowtow, this is just a gesture, but now looking at the beggar woman's expression is not right, the other party seems to know herself, but she doesn't know the other party, who will she be? (To be continued......)
