Chapter 172: Pretending to be sick and sending each other off
When a candle is extinguished, the whole room is dark.
The thief who only dared to hug and kiss Man Yun clinged to the wall, half to hide the hidden danger of being seen through the window, and half to be able to hear the beating heartbeat of the beautiful woman more realistically.
The sudden fluttering heartbeat slowed down the beat after a few breaths, and Man Yun's sigh rang out immediately after, asking, "Why is it so fast?" β
"If it weren't for such a lot of bad things, I would have been able to take my lady away on March 18!" , Xiao Hong lowered his head regretfully and pecked the corner of Man Yun's mouth again, before holding her face in the dark and explaining seriously: "Originally, I told my eldest brother that I would wait for Mrs. Zhou to return after five or seven. But these days, I found out that I was being targeted. β
"You're being targeted?" , Man Yun's hands anxiously grabbed Xiao Hong's chest placket.
The strong concern that he felt when he couldn't see it in the dark made the young man laugh out loud, and even the story of being watched by someone with some pride.
"Yes, at first, I thought that I was the one who appeared at the old lady's funeral as your fiancΓ© and aroused curiosity, but upon closer inspection, there were twelve or thirteen scouts staring at me openly and secretly. Uncle Lu also stole the waist card of the Hezhou Army from a stalker empty-handedly...... Therefore, today we agreed that we could not stay in Huocheng for a long time, and we had to leave first. β
As soon as he said that he was leaving, Xiao Hong flicked his tail at night, thinking that he could stick to his girl for as long as he could.
"When to go? Ready to get started? Land or water? β
"Zhou Manyun! You didn't keep me? With a low howl pretending to be injured, Xiao Hong's drooping head rubbed and rubbed against Man Yun's neck. It took a long time before he replied in a muffled voice: "Leave Huocheng in two ways!" In the past two days, our people will go out of the city in batches, and let the eldest brother be caught in it and ride back to Yunzhou by land. And wait for Sanqi to lay the old lady. I went straight from Taohuadu and took the waterway slowly. β
This means that since you have been targeted, you are simply using it as a pretense. And then cover your big brother to go back safely and worry-free? β
"Zhou Manyun! After all, the eldest brother is the prince of Jingguo. β
"I don't care who he is!" , Man Yun pursed his lips and replied: "However, for the sake of him coming to Huocheng for the sake of you and my marriage...... Remember, don't take this as an example! β
"Zhou Manyun, you are so selfish!" , Xiao Hong stretched out his hand and rubbed Man Yun's long hair, while accusing, he hugged the girl against the wall a little higher, so that she could stand properly at her feet. Let the two get closer and kiss deeper.
There was a sound of a thug patting his back, and a big hand that had been dishonestly indulged withdrew to his side with the soft incense that his fingertips had just touched, and the dissatisfied complaint also sounded, and said, "Zhou Manyun!" You don't care about me strictly, but you are very loose in your own hands! Now in Huocheng, it is rumored on the streets that in order to show your innocence, you directly untied your clothes in front of a large number of people to test your chastity. β
"I said that I was all female elders that day! Besides, I'm just comparing a frame. Didn't let go of it at all. It's just a bet on how thick everyone's skin is, fortunately, with the reputation of the Zhou family, no one dares to really check the Zhou family's daughter directly. Including Mrs. Gao, who is eager to try.
"Zhou Manyun! Not even women! You're mine! β
"I'm my own!" , Zhou Manyun pressed against Xiao Hong's forehead very seriously.
"I remember!" , a sigh rang out in a depressed voice. The man's voice was flat as if he was reciting a scripture that was awkward: "Even if we have a marriage contract, even if we go to the church and enter the cave room." As long as you don't want to, whether it's strong or seductive. As long as I violate you without permission, you will treat me as a crime. β
Zhou Manyun's slender hand patted Xiao Hong's cheek appreciatively.
"I think Gao Wei's kid is a lot of harm!"
Not only did he fail to marry a wife, but he was also implicated, and Xiao someone, who had added more rules and precepts, decided to get angry, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Zhou Manyun! I think it's really stupid for you to dispense medicine to make your fifth sister seek relief, wouldn't it be better to find an opportunity to kill the surname Gao in the year when the marriage date was postponed? Even if you let your fifth sister stay at the door for a while, wouldn't it be good if the days were long? β
"That's right! Kill him! Kill him before the medicine is dispensed! Xiao Hong! You're so smart......", Man Yun was only trapped in the tangle of developing and forgetting dust for several days, but he really didn't think about it anymore and directly did it to Gao Wei.
So at this moment, as soon as she heard the suggestion, she immediately held Xiao Hong's cheek with her eyes shining, and took the initiative to reward a kiss like a dragonfly.
"When it comes to killing people, the vicious woman who pounces on her and kisses and gnaws on her should be the only one, right?" In the midst of questioning complaints, the man who received the award began to relentlessly ask for more rewards......
Clever? When you enter the house, there is a bed and a chair, but the man who stands against the wall until the fourth watch will be smart? It's a shame that I also stood all night with the fool.
After sleeping and making sure that the soles of his shoes last night did not step on blood marks, Zhou Manyun got up and got busy. Maybe it was because of the simple way to kill people directly, Man Yun didn't harass Zhou Manyin who coaxed her out of the door, but hurriedly arranged people to help the Xiao brothers withdraw from Huocheng.
Not only Xiao Hong and the two, but even the shopkeeper Zhou of Shengping and others are said to be withdrawn from Jiangnan one after another.
Taiye has been looking at the bad year for ten years, and those who think more will sell the surplus grain at hand, and several people in Jiangnan have invariably begun to interfere in the grain and grass trade in their towns, and even the Zhou family, who is in mourning, is not idle.
The chief officials of the state capitals or the officers stationed in the localities took matters into their own hands by virtue of their powers, and the pattern of concealing the territory gradually emerged. Shengping, who has been doing business for more than ten years, has also earned enough, and seeing that the business is not doing well, only some people will be left to continue to potential Jiangnan, and everyone else will have to go back to Yunzhou first.
Xiao Hong gave a serious reason, and Zhou Manyun listened. She really wanted to say bluntly to the boy who was still a little young, it was your father who had a thought when he saw the chaos in the world, and wanted to do his best to win over his cronies and take the opportunity to seize the military power of Yunzhou, which was originally used by the imperial court to guard the Xiao family, and in the future, the Xiao family's business will be in the north rather than the south.
On the 37th day of Old Lady Zhou, Zhou Manyun, who knelt and burned paper money with the daughters of the Zhou family, heard the news that Xiao Hong was leaving, and only hummed softly.
She understands this departure. Not only did he leave the Zhou family, but he also left Huo Cheng directly. The earliest may be next year.
And just maybe, maybe next year. I will think that it is better to see each other than to see each other. When Xiao Hong returned to Yunzhou, the two of them were separated for many years, and after he experienced some of the experiences in his previous life, would he still be the boy he fell in love with in this life?
The world is like chess, people's hearts are unpredictable, and they are uncertain.
Man Yun, who was holding the paper money in her hand, was jerked off her arm by Du Shi, and when she came back to her senses, she shook her hand in fear, just now she almost burned it in the brazier with her hand.
"Zhou Manyun! You can get sick! Du Shi didn't look at his daughter's embarrassed shyness. Look ahead, and whisper in a flat mouth.
Can you get sick? Zhou Manyun still blinked his eyes a little stupidly.
"Red Plum! Yun'er is dizzy, you help her rest and go to ......", seeing that his daughter was not enlightened, Du Shi simply pulled Man Yun's body and leaned on his shoulder, and whispered: "Pretend to be sick and send him there, there is also a mother here to watch for ten days and half a month." Anyway, most of the sisters-in-law and sisters in the family have been sick for one round, and it's your turn. β
It's my turn to get sick! Being picked up tremblingly by Hongmei, Man Yun remembered in a daze what it meant to take turns to get sick.
Because Zhou Manyin fell on the bed long before Mrs. Zhou died. And all parties mourned the relatives and brought the female relatives in and out of the Zhou family's house, for fear that they would find out the truth about Manyin's illness, so in addition to the Liu family, who presided over the affairs, from the second sister-in-law Yang to the youngest Manjie, they were arranged to accompany Manyin for a while due to excessive grief. The reputation of the Zhou family's sick Xi Shi is afraid that it will spread all over the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years.
"Sister Yun! You rest. It's good to have a heart for the old lady's filial piety! Facing Man Yun's back when he was helped out by Hongmei, Du Shi still raised his voice and asked.
Can I get sick? OK...... OK!
Suddenly, Zhou Manyun, who wanted to be happy and selfish for himself. After leaning on the red plum for a while, he walked quickly towards the Tibetan Xiu Tower. When I arrived at Zuihou and went upstairs, the steps I took were already the skills that had been accumulated for more than ten years.
The cabinet was slammed open, and the package that had been out for many years was thrown on the bed. Zhou Manyun began to hurriedly take off the hairpin ring dress on his body.
"Miss!" , followed by Hongmei's flat mouth, who ran in, closed the door that Man Yun had not closed at all in his hurry, and went to change his clothes in a hurry.
The peach blossom crossing, the fragrant stream water, seems to really have a fragrance that makes people linger, just like the lips of the girl in her arms in the dark night.
Plain white brocade robe, hairpin white jade, contrary to another kind of dress that is usually hidden in black, lined with wheat-colored but very handsome young man is vaguely like the person in the painting. It's just that the frame posture of half-kneeling on the shore and squeezing the water on the shore is too heroic, and it squeezes a touch of hard color into the freehand sketch of Yanyu Jiangnan.
Getting up and shaking off the drops of water in his hand without mind, Xiao Hong smiled heartily at the few carriages and idle pedestrians parked not far from the dock, and the grinning white-tusked elephant could reflect the light.
Those people didn't say goodbye, I don't know whether they were going to continue on a certain tail boat or to go home after watching them.
Xiao Hong shrugged regretfully and stepped onto the board. Once or twice, no matter how many times he left Huo City, the girls of his family refused to send him away with stinginess.
"Alas!" , sighed, and Xiao Hong, who almost broke the boat rail, said in a deep voice: "Prepare to sail!" β
The rope tied to the anchor of the pier was slowly untied, and the boat slowly moved towards the middle of Fangxi water.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! Son! You pulled us down from the ......", seeing that the boat had already gone out, and there was a young man in gray clothes on the two horses who were still ten feet away from the pier, and he simply held his hands in his mouth, and shouted loudly, and his voice was very high-pitched.
The passenger ship continued to move forward for a moment, and then suddenly turned back to Manyun in disappointment......
A boat cable was thrown off the boat, and Man Yun, who was standing on the shore, couldn't help but giggle with the rope in his hand, as if he had grabbed the red thread in Yue Lao's hand.
Instead of getting on the boat with Hongmei, Man Yun still stepped on the re-erected side of the ship with a reserved step, and walked step by step towards the man who was already smiling more like an idiot on the deck.
The people who had been pulled off got on board, and the speed of the passenger ship was significantly faster when they were out of the shore again, as if they were afraid of being run back again.
The shadow of the sail faded away, and a carriage on the dock also turned around and headed for the middle of Huocheng City.
"The gray-clothed boy who got on the boat just now is Zhou Manyun, I can recognize it at a glance." , Gao Wei's voice in the carriage sounded deeply. (To be continued......)
