Chapter 355: Marriage
"Recognize the wrong person?"
Zou Youheng really didn't believe it, he narrowed his eyes and moved closer to Ye Xiaoyu.
"The only way to this alley is Zou Mansion, right? What are you doing here for no reason? â
"Didn't I say that? The eldest young master of the Zou family owes me five taels of silver, and it has been two months, and I plan to go and come back. â
Ye Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said confidently.
"Just now a cat was lying on the ground, I didn't see it, I stepped on the cat's tail, and the whole person almost fell."
Anyway, it's true, believe it or not.
"You're the owner of the pastry shop?"
Zou Youheng looked suddenly enlightened.
ââŚâŚâ
Over and over again, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, Ye Xiaoyu didn't dare to answer without permission.
"I remember the five taels of silver, and I will personally send it to the shop and return it to you in two days."
Zou Youheng said again. Full of sincerity.
ââŚâŚâ
Ye Xiaoyu frowned, she was confused by the mess, and even a little doubtful that the simple and harmless person in front of her was the same person who made such a noise at the corner of the alley just now?
Forget it, it's good to be able to pay it back.
"I should have returned it to you a long time ago, but I've had a lot of things going on lately, and I can't spare time to be busy......"
Zou Youheng smiled, revealing two small pear vortices.
Busy?
Ye Xiaoyu subconsciously glanced at the corner of the alley, and estimated that the woman was still hiding there just now. Zou Youheng's mouth is busy, he is busy doing these eighteen forbidden things with girls, right?
"Oh well. Now that I've met here, I don't have to go to your house anymore. Then I'll go first......"
The person in front of him was polite, but Ye Xiaoyu always felt an inexplicable dangerous aura. Maybe it's because of Wang Huaiqing's words, because of the preconceived ideas in his mind.
"Then I'll send it to you another day."
Zou Youheng smiled, crossed his hands behind his back, looked at Ye Xiaoyu and said.
Whatever, Ye Xiaoyu turned around and walked outside, as long as he didn't hold a grudge to take revenge on himself.
A carriage drove in from outside, and Ye Xiaoyu leaned to the side.
The wheels of the carriage rolled forward a few steps and stopped beside Zou Youheng.
"Youheng?"
The curtain of the car is lifted. A head poked out.
"Erniang. You're back? â
Zou Youheng's voice sounded, very gentle.
Sometimes Ye Xiaoyu really hates her gossip and curiosity, and many things have nothing to do with her. But every time it's because of my own curious thoughts. Got her involved.
Just like now. Ye Xiaoyu was walking out, but when she heard Zou Youheng call her "Erniang", she was a little curious about what kind of concubine Zou Yu was. Thinking like this, she turned her head to look, but just this glance made her feel that everything was wrong.
Ye Xiaoyu, the person in the carriage, had seen it, not in Rongzhou City, but in Yuejing.
"Are you going back?"
Tian asked, poking his head out.
She went back to her parents' house to visit relatives today, and she was out of the limelight, and now she is in a good mood.
"Erniang, you go first, I have to go out to buy something."
Zou Youheng said with a smile.
"Well, remember to come back on time for dinner."
After Tian finished speaking, he sat in the car again, and after a while, the carriage went away.
Thinking that Zou Youheng might have to deal with the matter between him and the woman hiding in the corner of the alley next, Ye Xiaoyu turned his head and glanced at it, and then quickly walked out.
In fact, she subconsciously looked behind her while walking, for fear that Zou Youheng would give her a look directly from behind. Because of Wang Huaiqing's words, Zou Youheng's current image in Ye Xiaoyu's heart is completely a perverted murderer with a sunny surface and a dark heart. She knew that she was probably thinking a little too much, but once the brain hole was opened, it was difficult to close it again.
Not only this, but the face of Concubine Zou Yu just now also scared her. The light is not too dim, so Ye Xiaoyu feels that she has definitely not mistaken that face, unless it is a twin, it is absolutely impossible to have two identical faces in this world.
The whole process was tense, and when he walked to the mouth of the alley and saw the pedestrians coming and going again, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and he leaned against the wall in prostration.
No wonder Wang Huaiqing was able to recognize Zou Youheng as Zou Yu's son at a glance in the shop, and made such an expression when he heard that he was going to ask the Zou family for money, these pictures, with the face of Zou Yu's concubine just now, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly understood a little that the Wang family, or Wang Huaiqing, must have happened between the Zou family, and the Zou family, what is it, Ye Xiaoyu has no clue now.
The reason why such an inference was made was because the concubine of the Zou family in the carriage was the girl who bought a handkerchief from Ye Xiaoyu in Yuejing earlier, and the girl who bought an umbrella at the umbrella stall with Wang Huaiqing. Although a long time has passed, Ye Xiaoyu can remember their expressions clearly that day, full of smiles on the faces of the two people, and there is no room for others between their eyebrows.
Ye Xiaoyu also luckily thought that this person might be Wang Huaiqing's sister, but after seeing Wang Yue, she completely denied her idea. And in the process of getting along during this time, I haven't seen Wang Huaiqing mention it, which is very abnormal.
Thinking of the current identity of that little concubine, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little sad for herself, and she didn't want to think about it anymore.
Stretched out his hand and touched his chest, the jade pendant was still there, but what was the use, the person in his dream did not remember himself at all, and even had his own dream person a long time ago. And the person in the dream has nothing to do with Ye Xiaoyu.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, patted the moss on her back, and walked towards her shop weakly.
She has always been the one who hides in the corner and envies other people's lives, other people's love, other people's family happiness, and other people's career success. It was the same in her previous life, as long as she wanted it, no matter how hard she worked in the process, the final result was unwanted. Ye Xiaoyu doesn't know why others can be so lucky, and she herself is like an unknown weed growing in the corner, no matter how hard she tries to grow, no one will notice, at most, she herself takes deeper roots, does not let the wildfire burn out, and waits for another life when this spring breeze comes. But even in this new life, she is alone.
Sometimes people have been lonely for a long time, and they begin to get used to it, as long as they huddle in the circle where they draw the ground as a prison, they can still get by. What she was most afraid of was that the person or thing that suddenly broke in made her suddenly realize that she was still alone.

"Everyone is gone, come out......"
After Ye Xiaoyu and Tian's carriage went away, Zou Youheng stood in the alley and said around the corner.
"All gone? How could so many people pop up at this time, it's really unlucky. â
A man who looked to be about the same age as Zou Youheng walked out, sorting out his somewhat crumpled clothes as he walked.
"Unlucky? Am I unlucky, okay? â
Zou Youheng said angrily.
The owner of the pastry shop just now definitely heard the sound in the alley.
"Are we brothers, brothers are in trouble, you lend a hand, I will definitely remember this kindness?"
The man looked teasing.
"Come less. But fortunately, my second mother didn't see it. â
There wasn't much contact with the pastry shop anyway, and the most important thing was that Tian didn't find it.
"Alright, let's go."
The man said, hugging Zou Youheng's shoulders and about to walk out.
"It's not...... Zhou Ming, that person ......"
Zou Youheng frowned, if he remembered correctly, there was still a woman in the corner, the two of them had just been with me for a while, didn't Zhou Ming take her along?
"Let's go first, she'll come later."
The man smiled and glanced around the corner.

Wang Yue'e got married today.
The courtyard of the Wang family is full of lights, and the eyes are full of red happy characters and lanterns, as if they have fallen into a sea of red.
The greeting team is already on the way, and the Lin family is also wearing a particularly graceful and luxurious dress today, and his face has also been carefully cared for, his eyebrows have been drawn, powdered, and then colored rouge, and the whole person has been younger.
Wang Huaiqing also got up early in the morning today, and was busy directing his subordinates to place the dowry boxes and boxes neatly, and the time of passing through the door was very important, so that Wang Yue'e could not miss the auspicious time because of the dowry.
There was a lot of noise in the yard, but only the west wing was still unusually quiet. Wang Yue'e was already dressed neatly, but she only sits, and there was no special affection between her eyebrows and eyes.
"Miss, before you get on the sedan chair later, you must kneel at the door and cry to express your reluctance to leave."
Xiaomei solemnly explained.
Marriage is a big thing, and the etiquette of every step must be done, and there can be no chaos.
"Also, miss, although you will wear a veil later, others will not be able to see your face, but you can't put on such a face when you serve tea tomorrow morning."
"The Li family is basically dead, what is there to serve tea."
Wang Yue'e said angrily.
Li Yan's parents died ten years ago, so there is no question of zĂ i honoring his parents. However, Wang Yue'e felt that this was a good thing for her.
"Bah, Bah, happy today, Miss, don't talk nonsense. Although Li Gongzi's parents are not there, the elders of the clan are still there, and you still have to get up early tomorrow to serve tea. â
Xiaomei was so frightened that she hurriedly said.
Today's day can't be anything unlucky.
"Madam, the Li family's greeting team has arrived ......"
Yan Ming ran in from the outside in three steps and two steps, looked at Lin and Wang Huaiqing and said.
Before the words fell, the sound of suona gongs and drums sounded outside the door.
Then, Li Yan, who was wearing a red brocade robe, walked in from outside the weeping flower door.
According to the wedding customs here, as the groom, he can only walk to the weeping flower gate today, and then let the matchmaker go in, carry the bride out, and take her to the sedan chair.
Maybe it was because of the nervousness, even though it was already winter, Li Yan still had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead. (To be continued......)
