Chapter 3 Qingming Mo Shang [1]
In the Qingming season, there was just a rain last night, a few peach trees on the side of the road bloomed brightly, and the light petals hung with the rain, decorated low, revealing the slender red filaments inside, and a few golden pollen trembled in the spring breeze.
Zhu Yan hadn't seen such a scenery for a long time, and when she turned her head, she could see that under the willow tree in the distance, several passers-by who were resting also looked at her intently.
Being a little inexplicable, Zhu Yan straightened his clothes, checked it himself, felt that there was nothing wrong, and looked at Xu Suzhen suspiciously.
Xu Suzhen just smiled faintly, glanced at her, and lowered her voice, "It seems that our swallows have grown into beloved beauties now...... You have been sick for many years, and you don't go out, and the villagers don't recognize you, so naturally you take a few more looks. ”
Zhu Yan blinked, sick for many years? Don't go out all the time? Is there really nothing wrong with it? Surrounded by endless farmland, she did come to the countryside, but listening to what Xu Suzhen said, how can she look like a Jiaojiao lady who doesn't go out of the door?
"Sister Silk Zhen, it's you who came." It was another old voice, which sounded gentler than Xu Suzhen.
Xu Suzhen stopped, looked at a woman not far away who was also full of hard work and smiled, "Sister Chen, you came early." ”
Zhu Yan guessed that she and her mother were about good sisters, and hurriedly smiled sweetly at the old woman, and said hello softly: "Chen Niangzao." ”
The Chen woman looked at Zhu Yan, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't care about the staggering under her feet, she just crossed the ridge, took Zhu Yan's hand, and looked at her vigorously.
Zhu Yan looked up and down like she picked up like this, her face was a little unbearable, she looked down at her toes silently, and was so ashamed that she didn't say a word.
Chen looked back at Xu Suzhen and sighed, "This kid really looks like it!" ”
Xu Suzhen raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, just sighed in a low voice.
Zhu Yan only sighed when they were talking about her father, who had long since passed away, and made a sad look.
Chen was a little strange about her appearance, and looked at Xu Suzhen inquiringly, only to see Xu Suzhen shaking her head lightly, so she turned to ask: "Speaking of which, that bastard boy of your Wang family, the debt has not been paid off?" ”
"How can you?" Speaking of repaying the debt, Xu Suzhen looked helpless, "It was just the morning, and that Liu family bastard came to help the Zhou family collect debts again, I estimated that there was still more than enough silver, and I didn't want to be taken away by that kid." ”
Zhu Yan remembered the scene at that time, and felt uneven, but he was afraid that Xu Suzhen would still be angry when she was old, so she had to comfort her softly: "Mother, don't be angry, my daughter will start to make needles when she goes back, and we can save money by selling it." ”
In fact, she didn't know these things before, but in order to comfort Xu Suzhen, she had to say so first.
"Yo, this girl is really sensible now." Chen looked at her again in amazement, as if he recognized her for the first time, and then lowered his head again, sighing in her old and hoarse voice, "How did you know that it would fall to this step back then, and it was really 'the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs'......"
"Sister Chen, don't talk about this." Xu Suzhen frowned and looked at the shabby offerings in the basket, "We're going to go to her father's grave." ”
Chen also saw those things, and sighed more and more, "Sister Silk Zhen, I'm going with you, I'm here early, it's already over, I heard that you have been working hard recently, and Ah Yan has always been in poor health, so it's better for me to go with you." ”
Xu Suzhen wanted to refuse, but glanced at Zhu Yan, and saw that she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she still looked a little delicate in the slightly cold spring breeze, sighed, and agreed, "It's okay, Sister Chen has always been troublesome for so many years." ”
"What are we polite to each other?" Chen's eyes were dry for a moment, and he said meaningfully.
Zhu Yan looked at them in a trance, the relationship between the two old women seemed to be not simple, but unfortunately her mind was really messy, and she couldn't remember a little impression of this Chen family, she shook her head in annoyance, and continued to listen to the two old women chatting:
"Boy Wang Yong is now in the army, but he is still making trouble?"
"Where can that kid stop, and when he gets there, it's just gambling! My hard-working brother, the little money he has saved in half his life will sooner or later be used up by him. ”
"Yo, and say that your brother is not angry! At that time, he seemed to be so careful, if he wasn't so worried about money, how could your eldest nephew fall ill, and finally die on it! This Yong boy may be here to avenge his brother! ”
"How can there be such an evil sect as you say? Sister Chen has returned to the countryside all these years, how can she think like that village woman? Xu Silk Zhen disagreed and sighed softly.
Chen paused for a moment, "But that Hong boy, I think Yanzi is also wronged to marry him, and I don't look at what kind of family we are......"
"Alas, the world is like this, but that year there was another Taoist, who wanted to tell the fortune of the swallow alive and dead, and calculated such a number of fate...... In this life, Yanzi should follow me well and don't marry. Xu Suzhen seemed anxious to end the conversation, and coughed after speaking.
Zhu Yan blinked suspiciously when he heard this, how could this still have anything to do with the world?
Looking at this village, although there are also ruffians like Liu Gangster, on the whole, it seems that it is too peaceful and happy, I really don't know where this world makes Xu Suzhen unhappy.
In a trance, the horse's hooves approached, and suddenly stopped beside her, and the dust brought up by the horse flew half a human high, choking Zhu Yan shook his head in disgust, and reached out to dust the dust on his clothes.
"Whose little lady are you, why haven't you seen it before?" There was a hint of provocation in his voice, and Zhu Yan raised his head angrily and glared at the man fiercely.
Seeing Zhu Yan's delicate face and her pretended angry expression, the young man on the horse smiled wantonly and shook the folding fan in his hand slowly, "You are the Zhu Yan?" That Liu Dachao was not wrong, and it was a pity that he really looked like a beauty. ”
Zhu Yan glanced at him calmly, and immediately the young man was dressed luxuriously, and his appearance was also handsome, not far behind him, there were two delicate and generous cars, presumably a rich family came out with their families to worship and sweep.
As for the mention of Liu Dachao just now, it seems that he is Liu Dachao's "top boss", the legitimate creditor of their family?
Zhu Yan cursed a few words in his heart, and secretly moved to the ridge next to him, not wanting to entangle with this person more. Although she can't get used to this person, she doesn't have the confidence to argue with him now, and it is the right thing to protect herself.
The two old women on the side obviously recognized the young man, and they were busy taking three steps and two steps in front of Zhu Yan, with a smile on their faces, "Young Master Zhou, Yanzi is only getting better when she is sick, and she is still unclear in her heart, she is in your way for a while, don't take it to heart." ”
But the young master didn't mean to get out of the way that week, and still stared at Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan was looked at by him like this, and inevitably became angry, raised his head and glared at him fiercely, dragging a long voice, with sarcasm, "Have you seen enough?" ”
This sound is not loud, but it is not light, and the people around the road all looked at it curiously, and suddenly looked at the young man with some looks that everyone understands, after all, is the beauty current, who can't understand it after a few more glances? However, this Qingming Festival is the time to worship ancestors, it is really inappropriate to be so undignified, and it is inevitable that some people will sigh lowly, the young people of today are really not as good as the generation.
