h2> weird!

She had never seen this groom before, how could she feel like this?

Shen Qingli couldn't help but look at him a few more times before getting into the carriage full of suspicion.

"Young lady, are you unwell?" Seeing that her face was a little pale, Bi Tao hurriedly said, "If you are not feeling well, we will go another day." "It takes more than half an hour from the Yongding Marquis Mansion to the outskirts of Beijing!

"I'm fine, I probably didn't sleep well last night." Shen Qingli said disapprerovingly, and really yawned.

Bi Tao heard her mention last night, so she smiled wryly: "Then you sleep in the car for a while, and then get up when you get to the ground." ”

"Well, then I'll lie down for a while." Shen Qingli nodded, and lay down on the soft couch, Bi Tao thoughtfully covered her with a thin quilt, if it was usual, she really lay down and fell asleep, but at this time she felt very restless, as if something bad was going to happen, although she lay down, she did not feel sleepy, listening to the sound of horses' hooves coming from the side of her ear, pointed out the outside of the car, and asked softly, "Bi Tao, have you seen him?" ”

"I met once, not long after he entered the mansion, the last time the slave heard the porter call him Wei Sanwu." Bi Tao laughed in a low voice, "At the time, I thought this person's name sounded strange, so I remembered it." ”

Wei Sanwu?

Shen Qingli flipped through his memory, there was no such person in his memory, the original owner should not have known him, but he saw him by himself, why did he feel like this?

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

The carriage walked for more than half an hour before slowing down slowly.

Shen Qingli lifted the curtain and looked out, although it was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it gave people a very desolate feeling, it was late autumn, the grass and trees were bleak, and the eyes were full of rolling mountains, and the field of vision was vast.

There is a large field of dense poplar trees on the side of the road, gently swaying in the breeze and making a rustling sound.

Shen Qingli's married Zhuangzi is at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as they entered the village, a group of children chased the carriage and laughed and followed, and even a few mischievously picked up small stones on the ground and threw them at the carriage, causing the carriage to clatter.

"Stop, you monkey cubs, don't look at whose carriage this is? Be careful to throw you one by one into the lake to feed the fish. Wei Sanwu stopped the carriage and reprimanded in a deep voice.

The children scattered in a hurry.

As he ran, he sang: "The big horse monkey drives the carriage, wears a leather jacket and a hat, and asks for chicken nuggets for steamed buns, you say it's strange!" ”

The loud and immature children's voices echoed in all directions.

Shen Qingli and Bi Tao listened in the carriage and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Second Young Lady, Nanli Garden has arrived, I don't know where Second Young Lady is going?" Outside the car curtain, Wei Sanwu's respectful voice came.

"Pull over to the side of the road first, and we'll just go down and walk." Shen Qingli looked through the gap in the curtain of the car and saw that his dark face was full of smiles, and he looked very honest.

Perhaps, it's because I'm too careful! Shen Qingli thought to himself.

"Yes." The carriage walked forward again before coming to a halt on the side of the road.

Bi Tao was the first to jump out of the carriage and carefully helped Shen Qingli down.

The village looked very dilapidated, the houses were built in disarray, the gate was not facing the same direction, and piles of firewood were piled up on the roadside, some of which even blocked the doorway.

The road under your feet can barely be seen to be paved with bluestone slabs, probably because they are old, the bluestone slabs have been broken, and the road surface has become potholes.

Not far away, seven or eight chickens were clucking at the pyre for insects and kicking up clouds of dust.

Two big black dogs were biting each other and running in this direction.

Shen Qingli couldn't help but clench Bi Tao's hand, she had been chased by a dog when she was a child, although it was a memory of her previous life, but now she was still very scared to see such a big dog.

Although she has also had dogs, they are all pet dogs that don't grow up.

"Young lady, don't be afraid, I recognize these two dogs, they are the dogs of Wu Zhuangtou's family, presumably he already knows that we are coming." Bi Tao comforted, she knew that the young lady was most afraid of dogs, and because of this, the Shen Mansion had never had a dog.

As soon as the words fell, two men appeared around the corner, among which the slightly younger man, wearing a black gown and trousers, and a black belt around his waist, looked extremely capable, he laughed loudly as he walked and said, "Oh, Miss Shen, you are here, we have been looking forward to you for a long time!" His voice was very loud, and before the words fell, there were faint echoes in all directions.

The old man who followed closely behind was also happy.

He was wearing a gray robe, with traces of folding, obviously changed in a hurry, he looked in his fifties, between his eyebrows and eyes, he looked very calm, he was the tent man of Nanliyuan Village, and he was the person designated by his grandfather back then.

Shen Qingli immediately had a memory of these two people in his heart, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "Wu Zhuangtou, Uncle Li, don't come unharmed!" ”

As far back as I can remember, the last time I was here was last year, when she wasn't married.

"I've seen Miss Shen." Li Shuncai hurriedly stepped forward to salute with a solemn face, his voice was a little hoarse, there was already a little white hair between his temples, and there were two deep figure-eight lines between his eyebrows, which seemed to have flowed too many vicissitudes.

Shen Qingli looked at him and couldn't help but feel respect.

Then several doors on the side of the road opened one after another, and several people poked their heads out to see Shen Qingli, and they also walked over with a happy face, and said gossipily: "Miss Shen is here, sit at home quickly." ”

Bi Tao frowned when she heard their name, she just wanted to say something, and then she thought about it, Heng Zhi was just a title, and besides, they didn't know that Miss was married.

Sure enough, Wu Zhuangtou looked at Shen Qingli, patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "Look at us are all confused, now that Miss is married, we have to call the young lady." ”

"Yes, young lady." Everyone hurriedly changed their words in unison.

South Liyuan Village is at the foot of the mountain, the terrain is originally low, in recent years, but even cloudy days, the village is often flooded, especially in the first two months, close to the autumn harvest, but because of a heavy rain, almost broke the river embankment, if it is not for the main family to pay for the repair of the river embankment, I am afraid that this year's grain can not be saved.

Shen Qingli was surrounded by the people in the village, and his heart was moved, it seems that the popularity of the original owner is really good.

"Don't fight, everyone, it's still the old rule, go to my house." Wu Zhuang waved his hand.

Shen Qingli had to smile and comply.

Li Shuncai walked quickly towards the carriage parked on the side of the road, wanting to let the groom go over to rest together, but saw that the carriage was empty, but the groom did not know where to go, and thought that it might be convenient to go, but he didn't care, so he turned around and walked back, walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered that if the groom came back and couldn't find Miss Shen, and there was no one to take care of him, wouldn't it seem that the people in Nanliyuan Village were very rude?

After thinking about it, he sat on the stone by the roadside and waited for him, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

The rest of the people followed and gathered to the door of Wu Zhuangtou before they reluctantly dispersed.

The Wu family is in the easternmost part of the village, and the orientation is quite normal, with the gate facing due south.

The two sons of the family went out to work, leaving Wu Zhuangtou and his mother Wang at home.

Wang looked about forty years old, his skin was very rough, his face was a little red in the middle of the year, he was not a local in his accent, he spoke very quickly, but he was very enthusiastic about treating people, he was serving tea and pouring water, and he took out his own fried sunflower seeds and stuffed them into the hands of the two, which made Shen Qingli feel very uncomfortable.

The two sides politely excused themselves before they stopped.

Wu Zhuangtou then turned to the point and talked about the recent situation of Zhuangzi, because the river embankment was repaired in time, this year's harvest is not bad, as long as there are rations, the people in the village can save the money they earn by going out to work after the autumn harvest, and life will be better.

Shen Qingli learned that because of the relatively low terrain of the South Pear Garden, every time it encounters a rainy year, he is worried, not to mention anything else, the reservoir built in the middle of the mountain is a big problem, once the water in the reservoir breaks the embankment, I am afraid that the whole village will be flooded.

Speaking of this, he scratched his head a little ashamedly, and said with a smile: "Miss is merciful, the rent has been confiscated for three consecutive years, the people in the village really don't want to go, this year is good, the harvest is also good, after a few days, let's sum it up, see if we can make up for the rent owed before." ”

"What was exempted before is exempted, and you don't need to make up for it, and it's not easy for you to blame." This village still looks very poor, although she is very short of money now, but after all, she still has no worries about food and clothing, how can she bear to come over to collect the rent of these ordinary people who are still struggling with food and clothing.

"The villain knows that Miss is kind-hearted, but the South Pear Garden has the rules of the South Pear Garden, that is, you must not owe the owner rent, not to mention that Miss rebuilt the river embankment some time ago, and she is still not afraid in the past two years." Wu Zhuangtou said with a smile, "As long as the embankment on the mountain is fine, we are not afraid of no matter how heavy the rain is." ”

"That embankment can't just be blocked, we have to find a way to dredge it." Although Shen Qingli hadn't been to see the embankment, he knew what was going on when he thought about it.

It's really hard for the people of South Pear Garden.

"Miss doesn't know, the hill where the river embankment is located is not from our South Pear Garden, but an industry under the name of the Guogong Mansion, how dare we reason with them." Wu Zhuangtou smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "In fact, the reservoir on the mountain was not originally there, but just built a few years ago, I heard them say that the Guogong Mansion found someone to see feng shui, saying that water is wealth, gathering water is gathering wealth, and they don't care if the river embankment is high, if they let them dredge, I'm afraid they won't agree." "Isn't dredging equal to scattering wealth!

It turned out to be the property of the Kokushofu.

Shen Qingli frowned, this matter was indeed a bit tricky.

She is not familiar with the people in the Guogong Mansion, and if she talks about such a big thing, I am afraid that she will have to nod her grandfather, how can she have such a big face!

What's more, the Guogong Mansion is still the Xia family's maiden family, and he is not in agreement with the Xia family, so it is really difficult to speak.

After sitting down slightly, he saw Wu Zhuangtou picking up a kitchen knife and going to the yard to kill chickens, so he got up and stopped him repeatedly, saying that it was inconvenient to eat here today, and he had to rush back to the family banquet.

Wu Zhuangtou and the Wang family refused to live or die, and even dragged the two to prevent them from leaving.

Shen Qingli knew that most of the chickens raised in the village were kept for the New Year, how could she stay and eat this meal, and without saying a word, she pulled Bi Tao out of the Wu family.

Wu Zhuangtou and the Wang family had no choice but to pack up two bags of home-grown souvenirs and stuff them into Shen Qingli's hands, and Shen Qingli had to smile and accept them one by one.

As soon as he came out of the alley, he saw Li Shuncai walking over with a burden, and when he saw Shen Qingli, he hurriedly walked a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Young lady, the old man is just going to enter the city, I don't know if the young lady is convenient to take the old man for a ride." ”

Shen Qingli naturally readily agreed. R1152
