Tan Debao took a sip of hot water to moisten his throat.

I just drank alcohol and my throat was a little hot.

He pursed his lips and said, "Lashu Village is still twenty miles away from Hulin Town, and the people in the village don't know about the situation of the Lin family. Later, I happened to meet a brother of Da Feng, who was adjacent to Hulin Town, only a few miles away.

The brother said that there are several old men surnamed Lin in Hulin Town, I don't know which one I am talking about, but no matter which old man Lin's family is, I have never heard of any old man who has a son who is not a beauty and does not marry.

He didn't know what to say about the others, so he asked me to go to Hulin Town, and when I heard him say this, my heart was furious. Thinking that if there is really a young master Lin who is not a beauty and does not marry, it should be spread in the local area, and it is impossible that no one knows the way.

Big brother, in my opinion, Erxia's family affairs cannot be responded to for the time being. Anyway, Erxia also calls you dad, this child is really a good boy, you can't ignore her. ”

Tan Debao's tone was very solemn, for fear that Tan Dejin would believe the Zhao family.

Tan Dejin nodded, "Fourth, don't worry, Erxia is my daughter, and I won't marry her to someone who doesn't know it." Fourth, can you work harder tomorrow and accompany me to Hulin Town. I'm going to inquire in person to see what kind of family the Lin family is. ”

"Cheng, it's just that you ask your mother again tomorrow to see what Master Lin's name is, don't be mistaken." Tegundam reminded.

"I know it." Tan Dekin nodded.

The brothers talked for a while, and Liuju brought hot water to Tan Debao, and Tan Dejin went home with his daughter.

Qiduo was about to go to bed after taking a bath when Xu came to call her to the main house.

"Dad, mother. Why don't you sleep yet? "Tan Dejin and Xu are both fully dressed, and they don't look like they want to sleep at all.

"Duo. Sit down, Daddy will tell you something. Tedjin said softly.

Qiduo nodded. Tan Dejin told her what Tan Debao said and said his plan.

"Dad, I'll go with you." Qiduo said without hesitation.

"I also have this plan, you are careful and thoughtful, with you by my side, I think I should be able to get more letters." Tan Dekin nodded.

He now has a habit, there are seven flowers in everything, and he is inexplicably at ease.

Inquire about the news. He and Tan Debao are completely capable, and let Qiduo go with them because of the same thing, she will think more than them and farther than them.

"Hee-hee, Dad, if you say that, I'm going to be under a lot of pressure." Qiduo smiled and scratched her hair.

Xu pulled her into his arms, touched her hair, and smiled. "Who made you smart, but when you're out and about, you have to be careful in everything."

"Hmm. I know it. By the way, mother, I said last time that the clothes were sewn. I'll be able to use it tomorrow. Qiduo squinted and nodded with a smile, it felt really good to be trusted and respected by his family.

"It's been sewn early. Go to bed, you're going to get up early tomorrow. Xu pinched Qiduo's little nose. Dodging laugh.

Qiduo smiled and waved good night to her parents, and then went back to sleep.

Tan Dejin looked at Qiduo's back and said to Xu, "Duo is as smart and capable as you." ”

"Phew, you've learned to coax people with a flamboyant tongue now, so hurry up and sleep too." Xu's face turned red and he snorted in a low voice.

Tan Dekin smiled stupidly, then closed the door and blew the lamp, and went into the inner room to rest.

At the beginning of the next morning, there was movement in the backyard, and all the Qiduo family except for Liulang got up, and Tan Debao also got up and began to wash.

Erxia gave birth to the stove, six orange shabu-shabu, and Xu's noodles prepared to spread cakes for Qiduo to take them to eat on the road.

The fire was blazing, Xu put the pot on it, beat two eggs, fried them in oil, and then put the leftover rice from last night into the pot and fried it, making breakfast for Qiduo, Tan Dejin and Tan Debao.

Tan Debao pushed the door and entered Qiduo's house, only to see that in addition to Tan Dejin, there was also a young man in Tsing Yi at the table, and he couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this Liulang?

"You...... Are you seven? Tan Debao pointed to the young man with some uncertainty and asked Tan Dejin.

"Ha Luha, that's right, I recognized it." Tedjin laughed.

"I'm also blind, my sister-in-law and Erxia Liuju are busy outside, so there are seven less, guess it may be her. By the way, Qiduo, why did you dress like this and become a brat. Tan Debao sat down with a smile and asked curiously.

It turned out that Qiduo was dressed as a man.

He was wearing a cyan men's half-worn robe, his hair was all tied up, wrapped in a turban, and his face was deliberately painted with dark powder to make the color darker, and his eyebrows were thickened.

At a glance, it was an ordinary peasant boy.

The clothes were changed by Xu's request for Qiduo, and they were changed from Tan Dejin's old clothes, and more than one was changed.

After Qiduo went through the incident of Santao, he thought that it was convenient for a man to walk outside, and he would not cause these rights and wrongs. Therefore, she decided to try to dress up as a man when doing business in the future and avoid unnecessary trouble.

I was worried about not pretending to be like it before, but now I saw that Tan Debao only recognized it after watching it for a long time, and I couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Fourth uncle, it's more convenient to walk while pretending to be a man." Qiduo briefly explained the reason.

"Well, that makes sense." Debao nodded in agreement.

The three of them finished eating quickly, and Xu also wrapped the baked cake in oiled paper, and then wrapped it in several layers of baggage, telling the three of them to be careful on the road.

But before they go out, they have to tell the prophet the specific name of the Nalin family, otherwise it will be difficult to find.

"Ask whom? My mother may not necessarily say it, but my father may not know. "Anthi Dekin was a little anxious.

Qiduo's eyes rolled and said, "Let's go to the second uncle, dad, you will ask Young Master Lin and the eldest sister how the eight characters are combined, the second uncle will definitely respond to your words, and then you say that you want to see the eight characters of Young Master Lin's birthday, and there should be Young Master Lin's name on it." ”

"Okay, there is only this idea at the moment, if there is no above, I will ask directly at that time, and your second uncle will definitely know the way." Tan Dekin nodded.

He pushed the door and went out, and soon went to the front yard to find Tan Deyin.

But after a while, he went and returned, and judging by his expression, he should have inquired.

Sure enough, he whispered, "Young Master Lin's name is Lin Fugui. ”

"Okay, then let's get on our way as soon as possible." Teddy Teobao nodded.

Tan Dejin and Tan Debao went out with Qiduo.

When passing by the front yard, Yang happened to go to the kitchen to cook, and saw that the three of them were about to go out. I muttered in my heart.

"Yo, uncle. Fourth uncle, where are you going this morning? Yang asked hurriedly.

Qiduo hung his head. She didn't notice for a moment.

"Go to Hirayama and dig ginseng for Rokuro." Tan Dejin replied lightly.

Pingshan is far from Tanjiazhuang, and it is said that there are wild ginseng on the mountain there.

This is all an excuse that I had thought about going to Hulin Town before, and I don't want the rest of the Tan family to know about it for the time being.

Only by quietly investigating can we find out the truth.

Dig ginseng!

Cut, and digging for gold, alas, to give birth to such a sick and crooked son, but really to suffer. The family followed behind and suffered, and Yang pouted.

When she came back to her senses, the three of them had already arrived at the door, and quickly opened the door and went out.

Yang didn't do what he thought, and hurried to the kitchen to cook.

Qiduo and the three of them walked along the embankment of the Shixi River, all the way forward, to the next door Guangming Village to take a ferry to the other side of the river.

To go to Hulin Town, it is more than 50 miles to cross the river by boat, if you don't take a boat. All of them took dry roads, and the detour was a hundred miles away, which was twice the distance.

The three of them walked very fast, about a quarter of an hour or so. When we arrived at the ferry in Guangming Village, there were already many villagers with children standing on the bank, waiting to cross the river.

One penny per person. The three of them got into a small wooden boat and slowly reached the other side of the river.

Walk a mile across the river. It's a market, and Tan Debao is very familiar with this piece. took Tan Dejin and Qiduo directly to the place where they rented a car.

In order to be in a hurry, after some bargaining, Qiduo hired a carriage for two hundred yuan, and the three of them went straight to Hulin Town.

The Tan family didn't know that Qiduo had gone to Hulin Town, and the Zhao family was still waiting for Sister-in-law Liu to come to deliver the dowry.

"Old man, get up for breakfast." Zhao lifted the curtain and entered the room, shouting to the old man Tan who was lying on the bed on the other side.

Old Man Tan's body moved slightly, and he said softly, "You guys eat." ”

The voice is weak and weak.

"Old man, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you?" Seeing this, Zhao was also startled and hurriedly asked.

If Old Man Tan has three longs and two shorts, she can't control the sons in the family.

"I'm fine, you can go out, let me be quiet." Old Man Tan waved at Zhao.

He was feeling uncomfortable, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was still thinking about the separation, thinking that he had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Zhao stomped his foot hatefully, turned around and walked out.

"Wait." Old Man Tan shouted out to stop Zhao.

"What's wrong again?" Zhao walked over.

"Now that the family is separated, Erxia's family affairs, you still have to ask the boss and the eldest daughter-in-law, if they really don't want to, forget it, don't force it, if there is something bad, then the boss will complain about us.

We can't get enough of them, and we can't do anything wrong. Old Man Tan sat up straight and looked at Zhao's very serious advice.

When Zhao Shi heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Old man, you are really getting more and more confused, what do you mean we can't stop them."

We have raised the eldest for more than 40 years, and you feel your conscience and think about it, what he has given us in the past 40 years, neither like the second child who can make money, nor like the third and fifth who are obedient.

Back then, I asked her to marry Xiaozhi, but he didn't listen, he had to marry the little foot Xu, Xiaozhi is a capable child, carrying the burden and doing the work in the field, more powerful than men.

I said at that time, Xu's little feet can't do things, and he will marry back as a bodhisattva. Not only that, but also brought a drag oil bottle to raise children for nothing. He didn't listen, he just took a fancy to Xu's seductive face. For the sake of the Xu family, he did not hesitate to fight against the two of us, and almost forced me to death.

Tell me, is it because I can't stand him, or if he can't stand us. ”

Master Tan twisted his eyebrows and waved his hand, "Okay, old woman, that was all Chen Guzi's rotten sesame mess many years ago." In addition to the work in the field, the eldest daughter-in-law is not inferior to the second and third daughters-in-law, and she is virtuous and does not have too many bad intentions, which is also rare.

Anyway, Erxia's family affairs, you have to ask the eldest daughter-in-law first, don't be a fool of yourself. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for being ruthless, go to dinner. ”

After a warning, Old Man Tan let out a long sigh and lay down again.

"Hmph, yes, I know." Zhao snorted coldly, and responded with duplicity.

The fat to her mouth wants her to spit it out, but there is no door!

Not half an hour after breakfast, Zhao saw Yang leading Sister-in-law Liu over from a distance, and she hurriedly greeted her.

"Mrs. Tan, I would like to say hello to you." Sister-in-law Liu smiled so hard that her face trembled.

There was someone behind her carrying something.

"Hello Sister-in-law Liu, let's go, go to Huafeng's house to talk." Zhao pointed to the east chamber, afraid of being moved by Old Man Tan.

Yang nodded, and walked towards the east chamber with Sister-in-law Liu and Zhao. (To be continued......)
