Preview Section:
After dinner, Zhao Hui didn't show up again, He Fangzhi left a little alone, Yu Shu stayed in the living room for a while, then limped to the door of Zhao Hui's room, and saw that the headlights were still on.
"Aunt Hui, have you slept?"
"Xiaoyu? Come on in. ā
The door opened as soon as it was pushed, Yu Shu walked in, bypassed the screen, and saw Zhao Hui sitting on the edge of the bed, her expression was a little unnatural, her clothes were neat, and there was no sign of resting.
"Come here and sit, doesn't it hurt to walk?" Zhao Hui helped Yu Shu sit down on her bed.
Yu Shu shook his head, "I forgot to tell you when I was eating, Mr. Pei came here today, and there will be a caravan going to Beijing in ten days, and we will go with the caravan when the time comes." After dinner, Zhao Hui didn't show up again, He Fangzhi left a little lonely, Yu Shu stayed in the living room for a while, then limped to the door of Zhao Hui's room, and saw that the lights were still on.
"Aunt Hui, have you slept?"
"Xiaoyu? Come on in. ā
The door opened as soon as it was pushed, Yu Shu walked in, bypassed the screen, and saw Zhao Hui sitting on the edge of the bed, her expression was a little unnatural, her clothes were neat, and there was no sign of resting.
"Come here and sit, doesn't it hurt to walk?" Zhao Hui helped Yu Shu sit down on her bed.
Yu Shu shook his head, "I forgot to tell you when I was eating, Mr. Pei came here today, and there will be a caravan going to Beijing in ten days, and we will go with the caravan when the time comes." ā
Zhao Hui was stunned and said, "This, you're going to be on the road so soon?" ā
Yu Shu said: "Yes, if you miss this time, you will have to wait for next month, Mr. Pei wants me to discuss with you, do you think you should bring those items from the Dou family with you, or let him keep them for you first?" ā
"Ah," Zhao Hui said absentmindedly, "You can do it, whatever you want." ā
Yu Shu paid close attention to her expression, and was even more sure that she didn't respond to He Fangzhi's overtures because she had promised to go to Beijing with her before. He Fangzhi's family is still in the high hall and can't travel far, Zhao Hui wants to get together with him, and she is bound to stay in Yiyang, how can she go to Beijing with her.
"Aunt Hui, are you really willing to leave Yiyang?"
Zhao Hui came back to her senses and smiled slightly, a little bitter: "What's reluctant?" ā
"It's like saying-He Langzhong, can you give up him?"
Zhao Hui was startled and said in a panic: "You, you kid, what nonsense are you talking about, I don't want him to do anything?" ā
Yu Shu smiled, stopped teasing her, reached out to hold her arm, and said affectionately: "Aunt Hui, of course I'm happy that you are willing to go with me, but I don't want to be that wicked man beating mandarin ducks." If you want me to see, He Langzhong is very good, and he knows how to heal, and he is kind, if you also like him and plan to live with him, just stay in Yiyang, if you miss this village, be careful that there is no such shop. ā
When Zhao Hui heard this, not only was she not happy, but she made a straight face: "Where did you listen to it, who said that I want to live with him." ā
"Don't be angry yet, listen to me," Yu Shu shook her arm and said seriously:
"I originally mentioned that I wanted you to go with us, because I didn't worry about leaving you alone in Yiyang, even if I had Mr. Pei to take care of you, and it was inconvenient for you to be single as a woman, and now He Lang has the heart to take care of you, isn't it good? Rather than having a bumpy journey with us, it is certainly safer for you to stay in Yiyang.
I know that you are also not worried about letting our two sisters and brothers go on the road alone, without an adult to accompany you, but do you think I am the kind of person who will suffer? ā
Zhao Hui was a little stupid, she thought she was hiding it very well, she didn't think that Yu Shu not only saw it, but also picked it out with her, and suddenly told her that she didn't know how to answer, she really didn't worry about letting these two children go on the road alone, but ask herself, can she let go of Langzhong?
Everything that should be said was said, Yu Shu saw Zhao Hui's hesitant appearance, and knew it in his heart, so he said to her:
"Aunt Hui, think about it again, don't be so ruthless as to leave with me, and regret it halfway, I can't send you back."
After saying that, she sat down for a while, then stood up and slowly moved out, Zhao Hui sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, not even knowing when she left.

Early the next morning, He Fangzhi came to report again, just in time for breakfast, he didn't see Zhao Hui at the dinner table, so he asked Yu Shu, Yu Shu looked at him and looked unaware, thinking that Zhao Hui didn't think about the result all night, it was better to add a fire to her, her eyes rolled, and she deliberately said:
"Let's pack our bags."
"Packing?" He Fangzhi asked, "Don't you live here?" ā
Yu Shu pretended to be strange and said, "Why didn't Aunt Hui tell Mr. He, we will leave Yiyang in a few days." ā
"What!" He Fangzhi was taken aback as Yu Shu expected, her face changed a few times, she stood dry for a while, turned around and ran in the direction of Zhao Hui's room.
Yu Xiaoxiu said strangely: "What's wrong with He Langzhong?" ā
"Adults don't care, children don't care." Yu Shu kicked Jinbao, who was grinding his teeth with a table leg at his feet.
Yu Xiaoxiu pursed his lips, broke off a mouthful of buns and threw them under the table.
Yu Shu originally wanted to follow, but he was afraid that he would accidentally spoil the good thing, so he held back, grinded and chirped after breakfast, and dragged Yu Xiaoxiu back to the room.
One morning, I don't know what happened to He Fangzhi and Zhao Hui, but when it was almost noon, Zhao Hui found Yu Shufang, her nose and eyes were red, obviously she had cried, and as for her mouth was red for nothing, it was not enough for outsiders.
"Xiaoyu, I have something to say to you."
Yu Shu looked outside, and saw that He Lang was hiding half of He Lang's middle leg at the door, and he was amused, so he said to Yu Xiaoxiu: "Xiao Xiu, go out and close the door." ā
Yu Xiaoxiu had long been accustomed to Yu Shu pushing him out at every turn, took Jinbao and left, closed the door, stood at the door and stared at He Langzhong.
Yu Shu sat up from the bed, took Zhao Hui's hand and asked her to sit down too, seeing that she was embarrassed to speak, she took the initiative to say: "Aunt Hui has figured it out, do you want to go with me, or do you want to stay?" ā
"IāI can't leave him." Zhao Hui's face was both ashamed and guilty.
Yu Shu said briskly: "Then stay." ā
Zhao Hui said "um" softly, seeing that Yu Shu was not half dissatisfied, but happy for her, her heart warmed, and she lost her previous awkwardness, reached out to hug her, and said:
"I have discussed with Lang Zhong, while you haven't left, the marriage will be done simply in the next few days, so that you can be a witness, you can choose a good day for Aunt Hui, right?"
"Huh? Wouldn't that be too hasty? ā
"What's the matter, now in this world, Aunt Hui's closest person is you, you go, I don't know when I will come back," Zhao Hui blushed a little and said, "Or I'll wait for when you come back before marrying." ā
"Ahem!"
A loud cough suddenly sounded outside the house, Yu Shu looked at the swaying figure outside the window, and snickered, she really wanted to answer Zhao Hui's voice, and He Langzhong didn't rush in to reason with her.
Although Zhao Hui's marriage was nine years late, she finally met her lover.
"Hehe, can't I just pick a good day, let someone ask Mr. Pei to come over and discuss now."
ĆĆĆ
Pei Jing heard that He Fangzhi was going to marry Zhao Hui, so he didn't make a fuss, and took the matter down single-handedly, only asking He Fangzhi to go back and ask the matchmaker to prepare a new house.
Yu Shu saw that she couldn't intervene, so she accompanied Zhao Hui every day, and waited for marriage at home without leaving the door.
He Fangzhi acted quickly, the next day a matchmaker came to the door to propose, Tai's passed the door early in the morning, instead of Zhao Hui, went through the motions, at Zhao Hui's insistence, did not go to the Yi Pavilion to invite the eight characters, Yu Shu made a cameo appearance in Yi Ke, gave them two rows, Yu Xiaoxiu ghostwritten, approved the eight characters of good fate, and handed it over to the matchmaker to take back to He Mu to see.
He Fangzhi's old house is in the west of the city, which is also coincidental, it is separated from Pei Jing's mansion by two streets, two small courtyards, a total of six rooms, and the family background is considered solid.
On the third day, Mother He sent someone to send a dowry gift, although it was not as grand as the rich and noble, but the small points showed the intentions, especially the ancestral jasper hairpin sent by He Fangzhi personally, which was green and cool in the hand, and even Pei Jing praised it as a good object.
There is also a problem in this, that is, Zhao Hui got back a few cars of dowries from the Dou family, if they are all sent to the He family, there will definitely be no place to put them, and Pei Jing is thoughtful and thoughtful, and the house with a treasury where Zhao Hui lives now is directly given to Zhao Hui as a dowry, just to place her too much dowry.
On the fifth day, Tai sent a wedding dress, and on the sixth day, it was a happy day.
The night before Zhao Hui's wedding, after dinner, she called Yu Shu to her room, closed the door, and took a few things from under the pillow to explain to her:
"Xiaoyu, there are a total of 1,000 taels of silver tickets here, and the deposit is Wufu Qianzhuang, I entrusted Mr. Pei to exchange, this inner pocket is specially sewn for you, the silver ticket is folded and stored in it, you go out and tie it around your waist, don't put it around, when you arrive in the capital, you are familiar with the place, and first buy a house to settle down." These two bags of broken silver, you also put it up, use it on the road to spend, I asked, you eat and live with the caravan, there are not many places to use money, don't be stingy when you see what you want to buy, if you drop the money bag, don't panic, Mr. Pei and the leader of the caravan greeted him, and specially prepared a small box of copper coins for you, you can use them to ask. ā
Yu Shu watched Zhao Hui stuff a few silver tickets into a slender inner pocket and handed them to her, took two heavy leather money bags and put them in her hands, and after listening to her advice, he sat down beside her, gave her the inner pocket, and said:
"I'll take these two bags of money, and I can't take this thousand taels."
Zhao Hui hated her: "What can't be taken." ā
"Take it soft." Yu Shu said honestly, it is indeed soft, Zhao Hui got back the family property from the Dou family, but those things are now in the warehouse, and they can't be used as money, this thousand taels, if she guesses correctly, it should be all the cash that Zhao Hui can make up, so how can she get it.
Besides, Zhao Hui is going to get married tomorrow, and the matter of this money will be known to He Fangzhi in the future, which may estranged them from their husband and wife.
Zhao Hui smiled: "You gave me five hundred taels to see a doctor without blinking, why didn't you have a soft hand?" I'll take it for you, I'm angry with Lang Zhong, if it weren't for the inconvenience of bringing too many things on the road, attracting people's eyes, those things behind this yard, we all want you to pull them away. ā
Yu Shu touched his head, remembering that she had spent five hundred taels on Zhao Hui's medical treatment before, seeing that Zhao Hui looked like she couldn't accept it, after thinking about it, she took it happily on the surface.
"That's right," Zhao Hui smiled and patted her hand.
"I also have something for you," Yu Shu dug in his sleeve and found a braided red silk thread, on which were strung with three jade beads, the size of a peanut, which she had raised in a feng shui basin at Zhao Hui's house earlier, and yesterday she sent someone to the alley to retrieve it.
It's not a big deal, but the first time she did it, it was a concern and a blessing.
She took Zhao Hui's left hand, lifted her sleeve, tied the jade bead around her wrist, and said softly while carefully tying the knot:
"Aunt Hui remembers that I once said, you suffered hardships in your early years, and you are blessed in middle age, you can live to the age of eighty-nine and enjoy your old age in peace, I tie this bead to keep you safe and healthy."
Zhao Hui nodded with a smile, raised her wrist, flicked the round beads fondly, and responded softly:
"I will take it well and live to be eighty-nine years old."
