My Heroes of the World (21)
Zhang Hongyi had never been out of Yingzhou, and he didn't know that the silk was only the lowest, and even if the original owner was still living in Houfu before, the slightly decent girl and mother-in-law next to his mother wore a dress fabric much better than the silk just now.
But his concerned heart was much more precious than the silk, which was valuable, but friendship was priceless. There is an old saying that it is easy to ask for priceless treasures, but it is rare to have a lover, which is such a truth. Lily's eyes gradually softened, and she looked at Zhang Hongyi's sighing appearance, a little funny, and a little moved in her heart:
"Okay, it's good to have clothes to wrap up, to have food to satisfy hunger, and to be alive, so what's the matter of what to wear? Silk is not as happy as a coarse linen garment. She heard this in Zhang Hongyi's ears, he only thought that Lily was comforting himself, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, Lily saw that he lowered his head and was silent, and reached out to pat him:
"Get your bed board out for me." Just now the two went out to buy some needlework scissors, at this time Lily wanted Zhang Hongyi to carry the bed board out, although he didn't know what to do, but still obediently did it, Lily threaded the thread properly, took the cloth and laid it on the bed board, compared the size with his hand, took the scissors and began to cut it.
Zhang Hongyi bought cloth to play with her, and after he was tired of the silk business, he remembered the brother-in-law he was going to see tomorrow, stared at the lily for a while, and then hid aside.
Lily cut is Zhang Hongyi's body size, cut it and start sewing, each piece of sewing will be stuffed into the cotton wool, and the middle is also densely pressed with stitches, so that it is strong. But it took a lot of effort, and after sewing for a while, she was going to use scissors, but she couldn't find it when she turned it over.
She pinched the needle and thread in her hand, and looked up, Zhang Hongyi was squatting in the corner of the yard, with his back to her and not knowing what he was doing, she called:
"Zhang Hongyi, where did you leave my scissors?"
He answered, without turning his head: "At my place." Daughter-in-law, you wait a while. ”
I don't know what he did with the scissors. Lily sat and waited for a while before he got up, but instead of turning his head, he put his hand over his face and turned his hand to this side. The scissors were carried in his hands. This strange appearance of Guli made Lily's brows furrow. Reached out and pulled his sleeve: "What did you do?" ”
Zhang Hongyi was holding scissors in his hand, and he didn't dare to struggle when she pulled it. Afraid that the scissors would prick her, Lily only reached out and pulled it, and saw his sleeve move away.
Originally, on his black face with a scruffy beard, the chin and lips were cut messily at this time, and he couldn't see it himself, so he cut it all over the place, and he didn't look in the mirror, and some places were even punctured through the skin, and blood beads were pouring out.
Lily was a little angry and a little funny, and hurriedly put aside the needle and thread and motioned him to squat down to wipe it for him, he also squatted down meekly, and Lily wiped the blood beads for him, he was not afraid of pain, and even smiled.
"Why are you tossing yourself, you don't look good, and you have to poke your face into the skin." She scolded in her mouth, but her movements were gentle, Zhang Hongyi squinted her eyes, and when she heard Lily's words, she just laughed 'hehe':
"What's not pretty? I used to have a beard, and I looked older, but if I had a beard, maybe I was a beautiful man! He was thick-skinned, and he was not embarrassed to praise himself, and Lily couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pat him on the face, just now when he cut his beard, he didn't see him screaming, and now he slapped him fiercely.
Lily took the scissors and carefully repaired the beard that was cut like a dog for him, Zhang Hongyi squatted in front of her obediently, she repaired the remaining beard, except for the few subtle wounds on his face, Zhang Hongyi did look much more pleasing to the eye.
Originally, he had a rough beard, obviously only twenty years old, but he looked about the same as his early thirties, and now he shaved his beard, although he still had a black face and a fierce face, but it was unexpected, I don't know if Lily was used to seeing his messy appearance on weekdays, and he might as well clean it up, and he did look much younger.
Looking closely, he can't get along with the beautiful man, but he is also thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face is very manly, if it is in modern times, it can be regarded as a tough guy type, Lily wiped off the beard residue on his face for him, and then motioned him to take his scissors to wash it, he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he squatted next to him and asked:
"What does my brother-in-law like to eat? What does he like? What kind of words do you like to say, what kind of clothes do you like to wear? "It's almost more detailed than the basic situation of the man and woman asking each other on a blind date, and Lily doesn't know about the situation of the original owner's eldest brother.
The original owner doesn't know what the eldest brother of the Zhou family likes, and the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is not very good, plus they were separated and raised when they were young, the men are outside, the women are in the inner courtyard, and sometimes they are separated from the elders, and they can't see it a few times in a month, especially when they are older, the original owner learns the red needlework of the girl, learns the way of the housekeeper, learns the rules and disciplines of the girl, and her eldest brother wants to learn the study of Confucianism, the four books and the five classics, so as to conduct scientific examinations, and there is no contact, and the memory is pale and thin. It's just a gasy but old young man.
At this time, Zhang Hongyi got to the bottom of the matter, and Lily was a little annoyed by the question, so he stretched out his leg and kicked him:
"Go farther, don't bother me, just go and see it casually, and then quarrel with me, if the needle sticks into my hand later, I will beat you."
"Why do you call it a casual visit?"
Zhang Hongyi was a little depressed, he was nervous all the way, and when he came back, he was thinking about it, afraid that he would lose someone to her, but her attitude was so understated. He was a little unwilling, muttering in his mouth, but he really didn't dare to make noise, he was afraid that the needle in his daughter-in-law's hand would fall into her flesh, and when he thought of the pain, there might be bleeding, he became nervous again, and hurriedly wanted to reach out to stop her:
"Oh, don't do it, look at your fine skin and tender meat, it hurts when the needle is pricked."
"I won't do it, you will do it?"
Lily glared at him, he just didn't get angry, and after a while, he couldn't be quiet, and he couldn't be quiet, and he couldn't be quiet. She lost her temper, but Zhang Hongyi smiled, and took a needle and thread from the side: "Maybe I can do it too, can't I still learn it?" ”
After speaking, he reached out to turn over the basket, but some things do require talent, he can break the needle with two fingers, but in the end he can't even wear the needle and thread, the shopkeeper sent a total of three needles, he destroyed two, Lily couldn't bear it, took off his shoes to smoke him, he blocked his face and ran.
Although Lily moved fast all day, but only a quarter of the clothes were done, and at night I finished sewing the front and back hems at most, and the sleeves were not done, Zhang Hongyi urged her to sleep, saying that she was going out tomorrow.
He went out again in the afternoon, bought some melon seeds and snacks and so on, and did not eat himself, and when he got up early the next morning, he also asked Lily to re-tie his hair for him, and tied it neatly, and the two went out with a gift, and when they came to the post house, they heard that Zhou Daguan had made some broken silver with his wife and children, and ransomed himself and left.
The Zhou family is an exiled slave, like this kind of slave, generally to the land of Yingzhou, the emperor is far away, as long as he can take out the silver, he can redeem himself, just a small nine-grade official with a pen, he can erase his name from the crime book, no need to report to the government, asked the date, said that he left four months ago.
He has been away for so long, he should also know that his sister was bought, but he didn't mention it, the most important thing is that Zhou Daguan has silver, he can redeem himself and his wife and children, when Zhou Baihe bought it for only five yuan, he had silver but refused to help his sister, Lily heard it chills in his heart, grabbed Zhang Hongyi's hand, and whispered:
"Forget it, go back."
Zhang Hongyi has always been obedient to her, but this time she reached out to grab him, not only did he not listen, but he also held the palm of Lily's hand tightly, and asked with a calm face:
"So, after Zhou Daguan left, do you know where he went?" His voice was loud when he spoke, his expression was fierce when he frowned, and there were scars on his face when he shaved his face yesterday, Zhang Heizi's name was also famous in Yingzhou, and the people in the post house knew him before, and when they heard him ask, they shrank their shoulders, afraid that he would beat someone:
"I said that I bought a house to live in near North Hutong, but I don't know if it's true, you can go over there and inquire."
The eldest brother of the original owner can redeem himself this time and buy a house, and the Zhou family was raided, so he must have left something valuable on him.
But in the plot, he can live a good life, knowing that his sister-in-law is still alive and not having a good life, but he didn't show up to see her once. Lily's expression was calm, but Zhang Hongyi couldn't bear it and took her hand:
"Let's go, let's go!"
In fact, Lily didn't want to look at it anymore, but Zhang Hongyi seemed to be even more angry than her, so he had to pull her away.
Some time ago, someone sold a house in the North Hutong, the boundary house in this Yingzhou is not expensive, there are people who rent it, but there are not many people who buy it, not to mention the fact that Zhou Daguan's family bought a house, which is also a rare thing within a radius of several miles, Zhang Hongyi and the two went over, and they inquired as soon as they asked.
The door of the house was closed, and a spring curtain was pasted at the door, Zhang Hongyi knocked on the door, and a female voice in the house shouted impatiently:
"Here, why are you knocking so quickly?"
While speaking, it seemed that a male voice asked, "Who is outside the house?" ”
It didn't take long for someone to open the door, it was Zhou Daguan who was wearing a cyan jacket, his hands were wrapped in his sleeves, wearing a small black leather hat, and a woman wearing white flowers on a blue background stood beside him, as soon as the two opened the door and saw Zhang Hongyi, they were startled, Zhou Daguan's face was pale, and he subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Zhang Hongyi reached out and pushed the door, opened his body sideways, and let the lily behind him come.
