Dumb and dumb was quite satisfied with his answer.

Of course, it is not a guarantee that he will not take a concubine because he can give birth to a son, but he admits that "if I can't continue the incense, I'm afraid I won't be able to take a concubine", and he didn't want to deceive her.

If someone assures her that she will not take a concubine, she will not believe it.

No matter how naïve she is, she will not think that men and women are equal here.

The matter of extending incense is the same whether it is a small family or a large family.

There is one of the seven out of the childless.

Therefore, although Han Xiyi promised that as long as she had a son, she would not take a concubine, and she would not choose him based on this, she asked this question for another purpose.

Coming back from his contemplation, he immediately crashed into Han Xiyi's eyes.

Her dark eyes were bottomless, and she felt like she was being swept into them with a strong force.

She hurriedly struggled, "You want me to answer you now?" I ......"

"Nope! Girls don't have to decide now! Han Xiyi hurriedly interrupted her, "Please think carefully." Foolish Brother...... Foolish brother can afford to wait! ”

In fact, he couldn't afford to wait, his father was seriously ill and urged him repeatedly.

Qing Du breathed a sigh of relief, and said unconsciously: "I don't know!" ”

She really doesn't know!

She is not interested in any men at the moment.

If you have a good impression, Han Xiyi can be counted as one.

But it wasn't enough for her to give her her life.

Han Xiyi said thoughtfully: "Brother Fool understands. ”

When it comes to this feeling, I am afraid that no one knows it better than him.

Qingdun didn't speak again, and walked forward quietly.

Han Xiyi followed and walked side by side with her. He smiled and pointed to the flowers and plants on the side of the road.

She couldn't help but glance at him, feeling a little glaring at him that he was still calm after what he had just experienced, how could she feel that he and her were not only not estranged, but closer?

I remembered Wu's warm gaze. She felt the need to make a three-chapter agreement with him.

She said, "Brother Han, I can't promise you. ”

Han Xiyi stopped, looked at her and smiled, "I understand." Girls don't have to worry. ”

Dumb said: "People will misunderstand!" ”

Han Xiyi asked softly, "What does the girl want to say?" ”

He said hoarsely: "You are not allowed to please my father." ”

What a strange request!

Han Xiyi felt a little aggrieved.

After a pause, he said briskly: "Okay! ”

Dumb and said, "You can't find a reason to send me anything." ”

Han Xiyi felt even more aggrieved.

But he still said, "Good! ”

Qing was dumb and said: "If you can't touch me, you won't leave." ”

Just like today.

Han Xiyi replied again: "Okay! ”

Dumb said: "Don't stare at me." People want to gossip. ”

In fact, her eyes were too hot, and she felt uncomfortable.

Han Xiyi looked at the extremely serious girl and smiled bitterly.

He didn't keep staring at her. However, the outpouring of emotions is difficult to control.

He discussed: "No matter what, I must take the girl's reputation first, and I must keep this in mind." But...... Isn't there still a love affair that can't help it? According to the girl's words. From now on I will stay away from the girl, and I will not even be able to look. And how can the girl recognize me? ”

Dumb when he heard it, didn't he, he had no chance, and he didn't have a chance.

So, she frowned and thought about it.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I had no idea. I thought I shouldn't be bothered about this.

So she said, "That's your business." I shouldn't worry about it. When a boy chases a girl, he has to use his brains and give full play to his intelligence. If you don't have it, you should be eliminated! ”

Han Xiyi looked at her stunned for a while, and then nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!" ”

With this powerful "good" sound, he laughed more intoxicatingly than ever.

Qing was dumb and surprised: What did he say that he was happy to be like this?

Han Xiyi looked at her confused appearance, with a surging tenderness, and muttered, "Dumb! ”

This was the first time he had called her by her first name in person.

Dumb hurriedly said: "Let's go!" ”

Turn around and go. The pace is fast.

Han Xiyi smiled, feeling that she was shy.

Crossed the bridge. When he looked around, Wuqiao Village had been left behind. Without saying a word, she turned back to the bridge. Because when the matter was said and done, she wanted to go back. Although there are still a few bridges to see, she doesn't plan to see them. Han Xiyi is a good travel companion, but after all, he has some scruples.

On the water, the boat also turned its head and rowed towards the port. The young man sat on the side of the boat, his lips tightly closed, and he shook the pulp unhurriedly. His gaze slipped aimlessly across the fields, and Han Xiyi and the mute figures always broke into view.

They stood by the bridge and said a lot of things, and they looked very deed.

When they were about to arrive at the port, they saw Wu, Qingdu, and Han Xiyi leaving the Guanyin Temple and walking towards the port, laughing and laughing. The spring breeze sent the content of the conversation:

"Is this tree blooming?"

"Open. It's going to open in a few days. ”

"What kind of flowers?"

"It's not obvious. Not like the average flower. ”

……

After Han Xiyi sent the Guo family's mother and daughter on the boat, he also got on the Han family's boat.

The two ships left the port one after the other and set sail away.

It was almost evening, and many small boats gathered at the port, and the fishermen returned, and the pilgrims came in droves.

When the sun set, the two brothers went ashore and walked towards the Guanyin Temple.

The Guanyin Temple, which has faded away from the flow of people, is exceptionally quiet and quiet. The ginkgo tree stands quietly, pampered and not frightened. The young man glanced at the eldest brother, who stopped and took a stool and sat down on a stall that had been trading all year round. The young man stepped up the stone steps and walked towards the temple.

The temple is empty, and incense is burning on the incense table in front of the statue of Guanyin, and green smoke curls up.

He stood there, quietly surveying the statue.

The years have eroded the color of the statue, staining it with traces of vicissitudes.

His eyes fell on the stick on the side of the incense case and froze.

As if hesitating for a while, he stepped forward, knelt down on the futon, lifted his long sleeves, folded his hands through his clothes, closed his eyes and prayed silently.

In the silence, he could hear his own heartbeat.

I don't know how long later, he opened his eyes, took the stick holder, and shook it with both hands. The sound of bamboo sticks hitting each other was very harsh in the quiet temple. Stop. He placed the holder on the ground, drew one with his right hand, and stood up.

Place the sticker on the incense case. He took out a grain of broken silver from his bosom and threw it into the merit box before turning around.

Turning around, Huo Ran found an old monk standing at the door of the east house, with goosebumps and crane hair, looking a little infiltrating in the dark temple. I don't know when he came out, like a ghost.

The young man did not move, let alone shout.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment. The young man stepped forward first, bowed slightly to the old monk, and then handed him the bamboo stick. "Master Lao."

The old monk smiled at him, and immediately showed kindness and warmth.

He took the stick, turned and entered the inner room.

After a moment, he handed him a folded signature. Plus a thin strip of red silk.

The young man took it. He bowed again and said, "Master Xie." ”

He didn't take it apart and looked at it, but turned around and walked out.

At that time, it was already dark outside, and the ginkgo tree canopy was shading, and the light was even darker.

He walked down the stone steps before he stopped, opened the folded square paper with one hand, and held it up to his eyes to look closely. At first glance, I was slightly stunned. It seems to be confused, and it seems to be stunned. Immovable for a long time.

On the other side, the eldest brother looked at him worriedly.

Just as he was hesitating to call him, he suddenly came over.

The eldest brother was in good spirits and hurriedly got up to meet him.

The young man walked directly to the place where he climbed the dumb ladder in the morning and looked up.

When the eldest brother saw it, he hurriedly ran towards the temple. He carried the ladder around and leaned against the branches of the ginkgo tree. He moved back and forth again, and when he was stable, he motioned for his brother to go up the ladder.

He hesitated and asked, "Why don't I go up and tie it?" ”

The young man shook his head and said, "No! "I went up as soon as I could.

Go to the top of the ladder and find the bow in the dark tree.

He was taller, and in the same position, the bow was in front of him, and the phoenix tail even touched the tip of his nose. Looking at it, he saw the light green figure on the ladder.

After looking at it for a while, he looked away and looked at the nearby branches.

Finally, the gaze is fixed on a branch to the right of the bow.

He stretched out his arms, pressed the branches with his left hand and sleeves, and quickly wound the red silk with his right hand. Then put the folded signatures on the branches, hold them down with your left hand, and tie them together with your right hand with one end of the red silk, and wrap them several times. Tie the knot again, hold it down with your left hand, and then pull it with your right hand to tie it tightly.

The tied signature is parallel to the bow, as if guarding and looking at each other.

He watched them silently, not knowing what to think, and forgot to go down the stairs.

The eldest brother held the ladder below, tilted his head, and did not urge him.

It wasn't until there was a sound of talking in the temple that a monk came out and the young man was awakened and came down the stairs step by step. After landing, he said to the eldest brother: "Okay." Let's go. ”

The eldest brother said, "Yes." "I carried the ladder to return it.

Night fell completely, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the two brothers did not go to Uncle Zhao's house, but floated on the river with a small boat......

※

When Qingdu and Wu arrived home, it was also dark.

The boat passed the sluice, and before it reached the door of the house, he saw the lights in front of the Guo family's old house, and heard a voice say: "...... All of you are to be rewarded. Liu Hu's family, you are about to give birth, but you have to be careful of your body. If there is a good one, Liu Hu should not fight with me! Brother and sister, can you give her some supplements......"

It was Guo Daquan's voice.

Liu Hu's family is Dong'er.

I heard Ruan's promise: "Hey." I gave it first. I'll get some more tomorrow. ”

Another male voice said: "Uncle takes care of us like this, how embarrassed we are." ”

Guo Daquan said: "This should be." Your daughter-in-law is hard-working and smart, and my little sister often praises her. We are like this: capable, hardworking, loyal, the Guo family is not bad! ”

There was a burst of laughter, and it was very lively.

In the midst of laughter, Guo Daquan asked: "Why haven't my mother and little sister come back yet?" ”

Guo Dayou said: "I have already sent someone to pick it up." ”

Qing Mu said to the Wu family: "It's the eldest brother who is back." ”

Wu also smiled and shouted to the shore: "I'm back!" ”

Suddenly, people ran to the water's edge, and even dogs barked excitedly.

Let's not go to the new house on the other side, first dock on the shore of the old house and come up to see what everyone is doing.

"Mother, little sister!" Guo Daquan came over and called.

"Big brother!" The dumb also called out to him with joy.

"You're back alone?" Wu asked.

"Well, I'm back." Guo Daquan replied.

Under the light, he smiled and groaned, very calmly.

He was born with a friendly face, since he took charge of the Guo family, he has been circling in the official office and shopping mall, and has experienced a series of struggles and changes, and even sat in the prison cell.

Needless to say, the hired workers respected him, and the weavers often looked at him with admiration.

"What are you doing?" When he arrived at the door, Wu asked again.

Guo Daquan hurriedly said.

It turned out that he was rewarding Dong'er and several other excellent weavers.

Wu looked at Dong'er, who had a big belly, and said with a smile: "Dong'er didn't do anything, he should be rewarded." Is your man back? Then you should go home quickly-" She looked at a person who looked like a steward beside Dong'er and asked, and then turned to Guo Daquan-"Daquan, send Liu Hu out in the future." Dong'er is about to give birth, and he has to watch from the sidelines. ”

Guo Daquan hurriedly smiled: "I think so too." It's just that Liu Hu still has one thing left in his hands, and it's not easy for others to take over. When he got the deal done, let him come back. ”

Dong'er hurriedly said: "I have two months left in my life, don't be afraid." Besides, he has a wife and ** milk to take care of, which is better than him at home. He's at home, and that's it. Let him do whatever the uncle should let him do, don't delay. ”

Liu Hu also smiled: "That's it, that's it." ”

The smile was a little reluctant, and his eyes flickered.

Guo Daquan laughed and said, "Don't hold it up!" Tomorrow, I will take someone out to do things, and I will come back early to accompany my daughter-in-law. I didn't dare to call you out before she was alive. ”

After speaking, Chong Dong'er smiled meaningfully.

Dong'er saw him teasing himself and bowed his head embarrassedly.

Liu Hu laughed dryly, then smiled and stared at Dong'er.

Qing Du felt that his eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Guo Daquan gave instructions to the steward again, and then he and Guo Dayou accompanied Wu and others across the pontoon bridge.

At the door of the old mansion, Liu Hu kept looking at his back.

Dong'er pulled him and said, "Go home." Why don't you leave? ”

Now they have rented a house in the village, near Guo's house.

Liu Hu let her pull it away, and asked in his mouth: "You don't go home so late, you live in the workshop all day long!" Just for that little reward, or bother to make it for others to see? ”

Since becoming married, Dong'er has been spoiled by him, and he has never even received a word of heavy words.

Hearing this hard words, I blamed her headlessly, and I couldn't bear it.

She immediately stood on her feet and said angrily: "What are you talking about! It's not that the girl and the wife are going out today, I'm afraid that the ** milk won't be able to take care of it, so I'm a step late. Besides, my wife, grandmother, and girls all appreciate me, so I should be more dedicated than others, otherwise how can I pay more than others! ”

Liu Hu said: "Dedication, you are not afraid of being tired, and you don't even care about your son in your belly?" ”

Dong'er said angrily: "I didn't go down to the field to do heavy work, but I just walked around and took a look." Tired, I used to be at home not tired? If I hadn't entered this workshop, even if I was pregnant, I wouldn't have to work in the field and cook dishes, but you could still get two maids to serve me? ”

Liu Hu was speechless, but the more angry he became.

"Yes, I don't have the skills! People have money and ability! I'm not as good as a man! ”

With that, he strode forward.

Dong'er was so angry that she shouted, "Dead ghost, don't run!" While muttering, "Look how I clean you up at night!" He held his hand on the back and followed.

The mute group who had crossed the bridge didn't know anything about this scene, Guo Daquan walked all the way to tell his mother and little sister about the business and other things in the city, and there were two special proposals:

First, Yan Weiyang got married on the first day of April, and made a post early, asking Qingdu to go to Huizhou.

The second is that there was a dispute between the two merchants in Linhu Prefecture who used the Guo family's patents and the local businessmen, and the trouble came to the Yamen of the Jin Bureau, and Xia Weaving sentenced the local businessmen to compensate the local businessmen in accordance with the patent regulations given to the Guo family by the imperial court.

The second watch came to friends, and I asked for a monthly pass at the end of the month!! (To be continued......)
