Next Chapter

The snow finally stopped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It seemed that the sun that had just woken up lazily hung up in the sky, and the faint light shone faintly on the earth, and the sky and the earth were silvery white.

"Squeak", the sound of the door opening gently broke the sleepy silence, Yan Qianyan walked out of the narrow gate with a bamboo basket, and the snow on the door frame fell into his neck, which was cold to the bone. She subconsciously shrunk her neck and walked lightly towards the street.

She was dressed in a light red dress, and her face was pretty, even when the streets were empty, she was smiling, and her black eyes were shining with anticipation, and she seemed to be in the same beautiful mood as her people.

The quiet streets have more color, and the frozen air is also vivid.

The sound of creaking and rhythmic footsteps resounded throughout the street.

This is the most dilapidated street in Gaoxiang Town, less than half a mile from beginning to end, and it is also the most prosperous grocery street. Farm snacks, daily necessities, meat and vegetables, these are the most intimate businesses in this street with a wide variety of good quality and low prices. Due to the snow for a few days and the end of the year, the streets that should have been lively are empty, and all the shops are rarely closed. Usually the old and new houses of different heights, the potholed streets are covered in white snow, looking sacred, solemn and mysterious, like a fairy tale town.

After a while, she came to the front of the store with the signboard of "Fat Butcher Shop", saw that the door was closed, and laughed and scolded quietly: "Lazy worm, it's not open yet." Before the words fell, he stepped forward and picked up his pink fist and smashed it a few times, and shouted: "Fat uncle, fat aunt, open the door." ā€

The middle-aged woman's half-angry and half-reproached voice immediately came from the room: "Tilt your face, it's not that my aunt said you, sleep on a snowy day." You don't sleep well and don't let your uncle and aunt sleep. You said you can buy meat now, there is no one on the street, who wants steamed buns! ā€

The people inside sounded like they had already gotten up, and sure enough, the door of the store opened with the sound of talking, and the two men and women, who had a total of four hundred pounds, showed their faces.

Yan Tianyan smiled sweetly, and said crisply: "Uncle, aunt, I just don't come to disturb you, and I don't have the blessing to sleep lazy." I don't know you yet? Get up early and be greedy for the night! I'll tell you: I'm not buying steamed buns today, Brother Xiaoru is back, and he has been invited to a banquet by Li Yuanwai in the past three days. Anyway, when I come back today, I'll have to make him some delicious pick-ups. ā€

The fat aunt lost her eyes when she laughed, and she teased and said with envy: "Tilt your face, you can be regarded as having survived." Filial piety is promoted, and the next thing is that Gongsheng is Jinshi, maybe he can still win the champion, that is, he will be a big official. You will follow the official to be a lady in the future, unlike an aunt who turns her intestines all day long with a pig killer. Pour Yan Na, you can't forget your uncle and aunt in the future! ā€

The fat uncle who can be a scaleman with cheeks said a few times, and also said: "Tilt your face, your fat aunt is right, remember to take care of your uncle and aunt when you become an official lady in the future!" Look at her hands and intestines, they are almost intestines. ā€

Yan said happily: "I can't forget that, my uncle and aunt have helped me a lot in the past few years." If you forget anyone, you can't forget you. Besides, I don't want my aunt's hand to continue to develop in the direction of the pig's large intestine. ā€

While talking, I picked a piece of pork belly, a few catties of small ribs, thought about it and picked a few ****, Gou Xiaoru likes to eat the minced meat sausage poured by the fat uncle.

She put the things she had bought into a bamboo basket, and went forward to buy sugar, spices, beef, and a gourd wine. She knocked on the door of almost every store, and she hurriedly returned after buying enough of what she needed today.

Her red face has always been filled with a sweet smile, and her mind flashed over Gou Xiaoru's elegant white face, and her eyes with affection are constantly replayed. If it weren't for the fact that a few stores had already opened and a few passers-by had passed by, she really wanted to jump up and run, sing and shout, and let the joy infect everyone. But girls have to be reserved, especially if they have to be a woman.

He suppressed that impulse with a smile on his face.

I think that I am really lucky, I was exiled to this town with my sister four years ago, penniless, hungry and cold. The kind-hearted Aunt Gou saw that they were pitiful, and wanted to keep them for a night, but found that the sisters were quick with their hands and feet, cooked good food, and were very good at steaming steamed buns, so she asked them to stay and help her open a steamed bun shop in her own store for her only son Gou Xiaoru to study.

Yan Qianyan's father used to sell steamed buns, and his skills were quite good, and the sisters, especially Yan Tianyan, got the true inheritance.

The steamed buns are thin and flavorful, and the appearance is extremely beautiful, and the business is naturally very good. The two sisters are not lazy and work hard, they originally planned to work hard and save some money and leave, and find a good family to marry.

It's a pity that it's only been a year, Aunt Gou was seriously ill, and before she died, she found a fat uncle and a fat aunt to testify, and she must marry Yan Tianyan after three years of filial piety.

Gou Xiaoru was full of promises. 态

Gou Xiaoru is gentle and elegant, full of bookishness, and looks warm. Yan Qianyan thought that he and his sister were homeless, even if he left, it was to find a good family to marry, and he could observe it well in three years, and his feelings could be cultivated slowly. After careful consideration, I agreed.

reached an oral marriage contract, and after Aunt Gou passed away peacefully, Yan Qianyan supported the business of buns as the future daughter-in-law of the Gou family and continued to provide Gou Xiaoru with education. This Gou Xiaoru is also studious, and he studied hard day and night with the ruthlessness of his head cantilevering the beam and stabbing the stock, and he was admitted to the Xiucai examination in three years, and he was promoted. Da Liang Guo attaches great importance to scholars, and if he wins the lift, he will find a golden job bowl, even if he can't get into the Gongsheng Jinshi in the future, he can be a petty official.

That is to say, she will be a lady in the immediate future, and she will be an official lady in the future.

In four years, he has personally cultivated a husband who has won the lift, and the joy in his heart is naturally indescribable. As soon as Gou Xiaoru came home the day before yesterday, he leaned on the wall and told her that he wanted to marry her before the New Year, and calculated that there were only 20 days left before the New Year.

I can finally marry myself, and it's all hard work.

There is some truth in this sentence that people change people's hearts for four taels and half a catty, and how much effort is paid.

Her heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride, and it is infinitely glorious to walk on the streets where she works every day. My steps are lighter, and I feel like I'm floating on the clouds when I step on the white snow.

Returning to the front of the fat uncle and aunt's shop, Aunt Wang, who had just opened the tofu shop, also grinned and teased her with her missing front teeth: "It's really a happy event and the spirit is refreshing, look at the face, this little blush is red and white, and the eyes can drip water." This little appearance of the water and spirit, filial piety and that kid are so blessed. ā€

When this gossip spreads fast. But now she loves this kind of gossip.

Yan smiled shyly, and said sharply: "Look at what the eldest lady said, she is still young, and she will be an old girl if she doesn't marry again." It's not that Brother Xiaoru is blessed, it's that I'm blessed, I'm blessed, and I'm favored by Aunt Gou. ā€

Uncle Zhang from the grocery store opposite said, "Where is the old girl." If it weren't for the filial piety of his mother who took the girl away early, the old man would have made you a granddaughter-in-law. ā€

Yan Tianyan said with a smile in his eyes: "Uncle Zhang, you will treat me as your granddaughter-in-law, and I will say hello to you in the future." ā€

In four years, she has already become one with her neighbors, she has never been informal, she is enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and her reputation is really good.

Just as she was about to say goodbye and continue walking, she saw that many shops were open, and several shopkeepers were waiting to tease and bless them, and they had to be poor with them. It can be regarded as declaring sovereignty in advance, and it is very shameless to be married at the age of twenty.

I saw the fat aunt who was sweeping the snow in front of the door stood up straight, squinted her eyes and looked forward, and said with a little surprise: "Tilt your face, do you see if it is filial piety?" There is also the third lady, who seems to be coming this way. ā€

Yan Tianyan looked up, and it was really the fair and handsome Gou Xiaoru and the gorgeous and swaggering Miss Li San walking side by side, followed by a few people. It's a bit pompous.

How did these two get together? Three days ago, Gou Xiaoru came back from the exam, and the front foot entered the door and only said a word, and the back foot Li Yuanwai sent someone to send a post, saying that he was invited to the banquet to enjoy the light, and the banquet was specially for him.

Li Yuanwai is rich and rich, as a gentleman, he personally takes over the wind for Gou Xiaoru and also holds a banquet in his own home, which is naturally very face-saving. Gou Xiaoru fought for Yuxiang Town, and it was reasonable to go to the banquet.

But it's been three days since I went home and I'm still with the third lady?

Yan Tianyan's brows frowned slightly.

Li Yuanwai's family has a big business, and a quarter of the shops in the entire Yuxiang Town are his. He is not an official but is called Lord Li by the people in the town, and he is asked to uphold justice in disputes between neighbors, large and small, and he is responsible for all red and white affairs, which is truly respectable. It's a pity that the people are not prosperous, they married four wives and concubines, and gave birth to eight daughters but no sons. This third lady is a descendant and has been raised as a son since she was a child. Usually, the shops on this street are rented and operated by Li Yuanwai, and she has the demeanor of a female man. Her vision is quite high, and most people don't get into the eyes, and she is still twenty years old and unmarried.

However, the Gou family's shop is their own, and they usually don't have any communication at all.

She is with Gou Xiaoru, a few meanings.

Yan Tianyan stood in place and guessed, Miss Li San and Gou Xiaoru quickly arrived in front of her.

Miss Li San was wearing a bright red mink coat, a pair of light red deerskin boots on her feet, her hair was full of pearls, and her face was smeared with thick **** rouge. Due to the cold weather, the **** cooled and stiffened her face, the rouge also turned black and red, and her mouth was also coated with red grease.

It's definitely well-groomed, and it's overdone.

She is tall, with a white, black and red face, blood-red lips, and upturned eyes, which smells like a rakshasa.

Miss Li San walked a few steps away from Yan Qianyan and stopped, raised her head high, looked down with her eyes, and said in an arrogant and cold tone: "Yan Tianyan, Miss Ben is about to look for you, it just so happens that you are here, just tell me here." You have been living in Brother Xiaoru's house for four years, and now Brother Xiaoru is going to marry me, and it is not suitable for you to continue to live. Give you three days for you to move out. ā€

Get married, move out, filial brother?

Miss Li San spoke simply and directly, Yan Qianyan already had a little ominous omen just now, but she didn't expect these words, and her brain was a little short-circuited.

Dazedly, he turned his gaze to Gou Xiaoru, who had changed into brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, and brought a little nobility in his elegance.

Gou Xiaoru's handsome face was slightly red, his eyes dodged, and his body subconsciously flashed behind Miss Li San.

Miss Li San's raised eyebrows swept her eyes at Gou Xiaoru angrily, and said, "Brother Xiaoru, what's the matter?" Can't bear her? What are you hiding, show her the marriage book! Let her move out quickly. ā€

After speaking, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, he looked Yan Tianyan up and down, looking condescending.

Yan Tianyan still looked at Gou Xiaoru blankly, trying to figure out what was going on, and the filial piety brother who moved to the house was full of thoughts, which made her head hurt.

I saw the corners of Gou Xiaoru's mouth twitch, and he took out a piece of paper from his arms with a cower, bowed his head and said: "Miss Yanyan, Xiaosheng has already had a marriage contract with the third lady, and there is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, you will get married on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and you can move out." Rent, rent is gone, you have lived for four years in vain. ā€

The voice is small like a mosquito, but the shocking face is painful.

The girl is called? In the past, it was all called Tilting. also has a marriage contract with the third lady, so what about her? Three years ago, who looked at her with pleading and expectant eyes in front of the sick Aunt Gou, who looked at her affectionately through the courtyard wall every morning in the past three years, and recited love poems through the wall at night. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. "If the two love for a long time, how can they be in the court", "May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night and night streamers will be bright", these poems are still in the ears, and people have changed?

Returning the life of your parents? His parents are long dead. And she's at the behest of her mother.

even said that the rent was gone, so she lived in vain for four years! That's generous. Don't you know that she gets up early every day and is greedy for a basket of steamed buns, rain or shine. Did all the money he earned go to him? She matched him with nutritious meals, bought the best pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the most expensive books, and wore decent clothes. When I rushed to take the exam, I took all the money with him. The money for turnover is gone.

Doesn't it mean that the ancient scholars were the most backbone, the most trustworthy, and the most affectionate? Doesn't it mean that each other is born from the heart?

How could someone with such a handsome face be Chen Shimei.

Is it true that a person's appearance is not indicative of his character?

It's really not scary to be a hooligan, I'm afraid that hooligans are educated,

Yan Qianyan's eyes became demented, and the basket on his arm fell to the ground. poured out, the gourd rolled out, the stopper fell off, and the air was suddenly filled with a strong aroma of wine.

I felt that the tears were pouring out, and her lips trembled, even though she usually reacted quickly with sharp teeth, she couldn't speak in the face of such a shameless dog man and woman who played it to the extreme.

Seeing that she was stunned, Miss Li Si sneered a few times arrogantly and contemptuously, reached out and took the marriage certificate from Gou Xiaoru's hand and shook it in front of her eyes, bowed her head slightly and whispered, "I heard it." Brother Xiaoru said that he would let you live in vain for four years and the rent would be gone, he was kind. In fact, the matter between you and Brother Xiaoru is to let Aunt Gou and my mother-in-law go with peace of mind, without black and white. Miss Ben is different, the marriage contract is in hand. My father said that I have been together with my filial brother since my bare buttocks, childhood sweethearts. Miss Ben is not married yet, and she is waiting for her filial brother. You don't want to think about you, how can a steamed bun seller who shows up all day long be a filial brother's wife. Hurry up and leave, Miss Ben still has to find someone to repair the yard of Brother Xiaoru's house and tear down the small partition wall. Although my father would help us prepare for the wedding house, it was always the home of my filial brother. ā€

After speaking, his eyes looked at Yan Qianyan, who was still a little confused and confused.

Arrogant, really arrogant! I've seen the ungrateful, I've never seen such ungrateful, I've never seen such shameless. A mouthful of filial piety brother filial piety, she has not seen her a few times in the four years she has been here, and she has been immersed in studying hard all day long, let alone Gou Xiaoru, who is not out of the door, is now called so affectionate.

is also a childhood sweetheart, and he is not afraid of insulting those four words

Scumbag.

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated.

Yan Tianyan's gaze sharpened, the miserable white sunlight shone on the silver snow, reflecting the dazzling light, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and a pair of fists clenched tightly.

only to find that there were already a lot of people around, and my sister Yan Jiaoyan didn't know when she came, so she stood next to the fat aunt, staring at her with a pair of eyes resentful.

The corners of her eyes swept over the mess beneath her feet, and her eyes narrowed again. There is a reason for my sister's resentment, she has made a lot of efforts over the years, and the money she earned has been spent on Gou Xiaoru. I also saw the sympathetic eyes of the fat uncle and the fat aunt, they were witnesses in the oral marriage contract at the beginning, but there was no evidence, their shop was rented by Li Yuanwai's family, and the third lady didn't dare to provoke, let alone speak for her. She saw many familiar neighbors, and her eyes were full of sympathy and helplessness.

But no one dared to say a word for her.

was dumped clean like this, still in the posture of a savior. It's really a loss of dignity. Is bullying her an outsider and helpless?

She took a deep breath of the cold, wine-scented air and felt intoxicated. She stared fiercely at the dog man and woman in front of her, the dazzling light flickered in front of her, Gou Xiaoru's face became hideous, Miss Li San's face was distorted, and she laughed wildly and laughed and laughed in the silver light in front of her, overlapping and intertwining.

It's ugly.

She gritted her teeth and stared at her eyes, her eyes swept around again with coldness, she didn't want to speak, there was only a strong desire in her mind to find an opportunity to ruin their faces.

This sweep saw a familiar face shining with a silver-white light outside the crowd of onlookers, like a silver sun, very dazzling.

Her heart trembled, and she was temporarily starved of blood for a minute. Then the blood circulated, the heart beat faster, and he squinted his eyes in a hurry, and came to a close-up of the close-up.

After confirmation.

His mind spun quickly, and a strange floating light flashed in his dark eyes.

There is no endless road, and there is no place to live!

She subconsciously smiled lightly, bright and bright.

And with a bright smile, he walked straight towards the radiant silver sun. Resolutely not looking at his face, it was actually blackened into a few lines, and the cold light in his eyes could form several layers of ice. stepped forward and gently grabbed his arm, and said very quickly: "Childe, borrow you to use it to save the suffering." Please, please help, you helped me, I promise not to pester you. By the way, we really have a marriage contract, and I keep it with me in black and white. If you help me today, I promise that after I am done, I will overcome all difficulties to find the princess and grandmother to quit the family. ā€

After speaking, seeing that he looked disdainful and sarcastic, he added: "I didn't find someone to marry to free you." You must help this one, for my mother's sake. ā€

After speaking, he didn't wait for him to speak, and used some strength. Mu Hanfeng, who didn't move at all, looked down at her eyes coldly, and finally opened her golden leg when she pulled it for the Nth time.
