37. Turn back

Hongguangnian, the third day of the fifth month.

In this day approaching the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Huainan Mansion and the Yin family are all planning things inside and out, big and small, to welcome the upcoming happy event.

As the days got closer, the more people went to the Yin family. As long as it was someone who had a relationship with Yin's father before, and those who were close to the neighbors, whether it was a close relationship, almost all of them came to get involved.

Early in the morning, it was the third time that the merchant Xue family had brought his wife and daughter over to gossip with Yin's father.

However, Xue Mu was impatient, and seemed to be very reluctant to come over and lower her identity.

The daughter of the Xue family just lowered her head and was very docile.

Master Xue looked around. "Huh? Lord Yin, why don't you always see Miss Yin? "The first two times he came, Yin Lijiao had already gone out, and this time he deliberately picked an early hour to come over.

Although Father Yin knew what the other party was thinking, he didn't like to slap people in the face and smiled slightly. "Ah Li is a person who likes to lie in bed, but this will also be the case."

Master Xue laughed when he heard this. "Miss Yin is a true temperament, and she can play with my family. If I hadn't kept her out of the house, they would have played together all the time. Our two families have also been old neighbors for many years, and the time with the Shen family is no shorter. ”

It is also strange to say that in this area where they live, there are many households on the left and right, left and right, except for the merchants, which are not big or small. There are more than one or two heads of families who are married. But in their generation, none of them gave birth to a son. So in this area, they are all girls who are a few years old before and after Yin Lijiao, and they are still very thin. Take the Yin, Shen, and Xue families as examples, the Yin family has one Yin Lijiao, the Shen family has two Shen Yayan and Shen Yashu, and the Xue family has one Azhu. Everyone else is in a similar situation, with no exceptions.

At this time, Yin Lijiao, who was dressed and groomed, walked out with Shen Yayan, who was nesting in her boudoir early in the morning.

Since she played with Lu Yi for a day a few days ago, and was abducted by Lu Xun's people and stayed in Taoyuan for one night, Yin's father was furious, thinking that she was spending the night outside without permission, and God knows what she was doing. In short, after that, he didn't allow her to run around before marriage anymore, and asked Shen Yayan to help watch her.

Shen Yayan is a rule-abiding person, for her good, she looks at her very strictly, and she can only walk around the Yin Shen family every day. She simply lost the interest in playing, and the premarital phobia has become more and more serious, so she is honest.

"Daddy!" She walked to Yin's father's side with a smile on her face.

Father Yin nodded. "Let's go get breakfast!"

"I'll go to Yayan's place to eat, our house is so noisy, it's getting more and more noisy." Not to mention the busy people, there are all kinds of idle people who come to talk about it, which is weird and annoying.

Xue Mu is a shrewd person, and it is easy to know what Yin Lijiao is referring to. She opened her mouth and snorted coldly under Master Xue's glare, but she didn't say anything in the end.

"Come on, come on...... "Master Xue pulled his daughter." Let Azhu also go everywhere with Miss Yin and Miss Shen Family, they are all girls of about the same age, get closer to each other, and take care of each other in the future. ”

Ah Zhu seemed to have forgotten how she laughed at Yin Lijiao with Xue Mu, and just nodded with an extremely gentle smile. "Ah Li, are you going to the Shen family?"

Yin Lijiao blinked, I have to say that this girl is indeed a smart person who can bend and stretch, not as stubborn as Shen Yashu. But what does it have to do with her? She didn't know what it was like when she was a child, anyway, since she came to this world two years ago and made a joke about a fierce girl, only Shen Yayan had a good relationship with her, and the girls from other neighborhoods always gathered to laugh at her. Although the person in front of him is a person who does not go out of the door, he has not had much conflict with her. But since the last fight, she has pulled the other party into the blacklist of friends.

She thought about it, picked up Shen Yayan with a smile and ran away quickly. "Yes! If you want to be together, just come along. ”

Ah Zhu was slightly stunned, she knew that Yin Lijiao had great strength, but today she was still very surprised to see that she could run so fast with a person on her back.

Not only her, but others were shocked.

Where does this look like a girl?

Master Xue was the first to come back to his senses and pushed Ah Zhu. "I'm still stunned to do something, hurry up!"

Juju came back to his senses. "Oh!"

It's just that she has always been delicate, even if she runs, she is graceful and slow. Master Xue looked straight and anxious.

Yin's father sighed helplessly, knowing that his daughter didn't want to play with irrelevant people.

When Azhu ran to the door of the yamen panting, and was about to go in and pass through the yamen to go to the Shen Mansion from the shortcut, he was stopped by the yacha. "What's the matter with the girl?"

"I'll go to the Shen Mansion to find Miss Ah Li."

"Since you're going to Shen Mansion, please go through the front door."

Aju frowned. "Why?"

"If everyone goes to the Shen Mansion and goes to the Yamen, then the Yamen will not be a mess, this is not the main road, girl, please go back."

Aju was displeased. "It's Miss Ah Li who asked me to find her, so can't I see her face and let me go?" Take a big detour to the gate of Shenfu, isn't that looking for guilt?

"Girl, please come back!"

Ah Zhu bit her lip, knowing that Yin Lijiao must have deliberately made things difficult for her, and in order to show her sincerity, she planned to go around to the front door of the Shen Mansion.

Yin Lijiao, who was inside, stretched out a head, and when she saw that Azhu had left, she bent her eyes and smiled: "I'll go and say hello to the people at the gate of the Shen Mansion later." ”

She is not an introvert, she is very happy to make friends, but she does not want people who contact her for profit.

Shen Yayan had no objections. "Hmmm! Let's go for breakfast first, and it's a little distance from here to the gate of Shenfu. ”

"Good!"

The Shen Mansion is not very big, and when they stepped in, they met Shen Yashu, who had a high fever and was now intact and normal.

Yin Lijiao raised her eyebrows, didn't say anything, and led Shen Yayan around the other party and continued to walk.

This time, Shen Yashu didn't follow Jin Yu by her side, Yin Lijiao thought that she didn't bother to talk to her, but she didn't want to pass by when they passed by, Shen Yashu opened her mouth. "A few days ago, the second son of Lu left Maodu, and it is said that he was going to Zhizhou."

Yin Lijiao stopped. "So what?"

She was still a little surprised. Maodu is in the north of Nanli, and Zhizhou is in the south, although it is not to the north and to the south, but Nanli is a big country. From Maodu to Zhizhou, if you take the big road, it will take a few months, and she doesn't know about the waterway yet.

Lu Xun is not going to drink this cup of wine?

Shen Yashu turned around and snorted coldly: "There are only four masters in the Lu family, from the elder to the junior, namely Old Lady Lu, Mrs. Lu, and two sons. Now that your marriage with the eldest prince Lu is imminent, but Mrs. Lu still has not returned, the second prince Lu has gone out again, and the old lady Lu lives in seclusion in another courtyard and does not ask about anything, at most he will appear on the same day. Doesn't this mean that your relationship with Grand Prince Lu is not blessed at all? ”

Yin Lijiao smiled when she heard this. "Mrs. Lu and Lu Xun have a bad relationship with our family Lu Yi, whether they are blessed or not, it is the same who marries. It's just grandpa......" she smiled deliberately proudly. "Since he asked me to call him 'grandpa,' it couldn't be more obvious."

Shen Yashu hooked her lips coldly, hiding the unwillingness in her eyes. "You're pretty good at making a fool of yourself."

What kind of honor is it to call Mrs. Lu grandpa? Who wouldn't want to?

"That's right!" Yin Lijiao pretended to be abrupt, "I just learned about Lu Xun's private matter, do you want to know?" ”

Shen Yashu narrowed her eyes, her eyes suspicious.

Yin Lijiao said to herself. "I learned! Mrs. Lu raised a child daughter-in-law for Lu Xun many years ago, and she grew up with Lu Xun since childhood. I don't know if their relationship is good or not, but it is said that Mrs. Lu is very stubborn and wants him to marry the child's adopted daughter-in-law, and she is still a wife! ”

Shen Yashu was shocked when she heard this.

Yin Lijiao smiled, pulled Shen Yayan and turned around and left.

When she walked away, Shen Yayan asked her curiously, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true, but I've known it for a long time."

And Lu Xun, who was mentioned by them, was on the boat to Zhizhou with Xuanzhi Qi.

Xuan Zhiqi talked and laughed with him several times, but he didn't react, just stood at the bow of the boat with his hands and looked into the distance, as if he had lost his soul. His face was getting uglier and uglier day by day, as if he was choked from breathing, and his lips were slightly purple.

Xuanzhi Qi touched his nose boringly. "Now that you're out, don't think about what happened to the city. There are so many women in the world, with your capital, what kind of girl do you want? Why bother? ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw Lu Xun jump into the water steeply and quickly dived in. In the blink of an eye, there was no movement on the water.

He was shocked. "Brother, what are you doing? Hurry out and get out. ”

Zhiluo took off his coat and was ready to go down at any time.

Lu Xun was a stubborn person, and it took him a long time to get out of the water soaking wet, and with the help of Zhiluo, he returned to the board.

He sat on the board of the boat, gasping for breath, ignoring the persuasion to change his clothes. Water droplets dripped from Junjun's face, revealing his thinly dressed and muscular body.

It was only after a long time that he spoke quietly. "I can't breathe, I'm going to die."

When you lose her, it's so similar to how it feels to be in the water. Just one dies slower, one dies faster. But the former is a thousand times more painful for him.

Xuan Zhiqi frowned. "What do you want to say?"

Lu Xun suddenly stood up and shouted, "Turn around and go back!" ”

"What are you kidding? Don't you want to go back and grab your relatives? But on the third day of the new year today, you won't have time to go back. It's better to quickly change your clothes and rest. Besides, you also robbed your brother's wife, isn't this a funny joke? ”

"Go back!" His eyes were full of anger, and it was obvious that ten cows could not pull back his decision.

Xuan Zhiqi blinked. "Okay, okay, let's go back, go back...... I really can't help you. After a pause, he added, "But what if it's too late to go back now?" ”

"Let's go to the town first."

"Isn't it that you're using light work again?" Seeing that Lu Xun didn't speak, he knew that he had guessed correctly, opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade, but he knew that it was useless, so he could only sigh and pat Zhiluo's shoulder. "It's better for you to work lightly, follow your son-in-law, and persuade him to use a horse when he is tired."

"Yes!"
