Chu Wenxuan continued inarticulately: "His father used to be a gentleman in Nanshan Academy, and now his father has resigned from his teaching position in Nanshan Academy and opened a academy outside, which is already quite famous in the local area. That child, who I watched grow up, has a gentle character and good looks, and is quite a match for you. ”

"Oh? With such a family background and a person of good character, why should he marry a newly widowed man? Chu Qingruo ruthlessly exposed Chu Wenxuan.

Chu Wenxuan was speechless for a while: "He, he also married several wives in his early years, but unfortunately died early, although he is older now, his appearance and character are still not bad at all." "This dead girl, she is kind enough to plan for her, but she is so aggressive, she is really unfilial!

Chu Qingruo chuckled, her father still despises the Fu family as a merchant family, and feels that everything is inferior, only he, a scholarly family, is the most noble.

When she married Wen Yuan, he was a thousand and ten thousand dissatisfied, but now that Wen Yuan is missing, his life and death are unknown, and he has not found the bones, so he can't wait to force himself to remarry.

It is estimated that in the matter of forcing her to remarry, her aunt and grandmother, who are greedy for money and gamble, have to make a lot of noise in her father's ears, right? She is worried that she will fall out of favor in the Fu family and will not get any benefits from the Fu family, and she will inevitably come back to her mother's family in the future and spend her mother's money, right?

Chu Qingruo secretly sneered in her heart, it was really a shame that they were so worried about her. As everyone knows, when she got married, the gift money, shop, real estate and land given by the Fu family were all in her own hands, which was enough for her Chu Qingruo to not worry about not being able to invite someone to serve her even if she broke her leg, even if she was away from the care of the Fu family, she would have no worries for a lifetime.

"It's really a hard father. The son of good looks that his father said, Qing Ruo guessed, but I am afraid that he has killed several wives, and no one has dared to marry so far, right? It just so happened that I killed my husband again, a wife, a husband, just two lives to make a couple? Is it? Father! ”

Chu Wenxuan was embarrassed: "Hu, nonsense, I, I didn't mean that." I just feel that when I am older, it will hurt people, and I can take good care of you for the rest of your life. ”

"Take care of me for the rest of my life? When I reach middle age, he is already dying, who will take care of the second half of whose life? Father, aren't you joking with Qingruo? Coldly threw down this sentence, if Chu Qing didn't want to talk to him anymore, he turned his head and was about to leave.

Chu Wenxuan blurted out in a hurry in his heart: "Qingruo, I, I have already shown your portrait to Nie Gongzi, he, he is very happy with you, and he doesn't mind that you are a new widow." I, I've done this for you! ”

Chu Qingruo's body stiffened, and he turned around slowly, with a bit of ridicule on his face, looked at Chu Wenxuan and said word by word: "If you want me to marry again, please ask my father to personally ask Banzai to marry again!" ”

When Chu Wenxuan heard this, he collapsed on the chair like a defeated rooster, yes, the marriage of this little beast is given by the emperor, and he can't remarry without a long live will. Alas...... Now I can't explain it in front of my old friends, and I'm embarrassed.

Chu Qingruo held back her tears and stepped out of the small courtyard of Papaya Lane. When I went out, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and all the misery and disappointment came to my heart for a while.

Her husband's whereabouts are now unknown, and although she does not expect her family to follow her around, it would be good to give her at least a little encouragement and comfort, and it will be enough to warm her heart and brighten up her sad days in the dark.

But they were good, not only did they not comfort her, but they also sprinkled a few handfuls of salt on her wounds when she was in the most difficult time, Chu Qingruo couldn't help but smile bitterly, this father of hers really "hurts" people!

"Miss, Miss!" Mother Zhou saw that she had not turned a page for a long time with a book in her hand, but her expression was changing constantly, and at a glance, she knew that the young lady must have remembered something unhappy, and couldn't help but interrupt her memories. "Miss, stop thinking about those unhappy things, we will definitely find my uncle."

Chu Qingruo came back to his senses and glanced at the sky outside the car window, only to see that the sunset was shining in the afterglow of the setting sun, showing a red color of different light and dark, and everything on the earth was shrouded in a rich breath of decadence. "Well, I'm fine." After a pause, he took Zhou's mother's hand with a little apology: "Zhou's mother, I have wronged you for so many years." ”

Mother Zhou's eyes were red: "Miss, what are you talking about?" Miss treats me so well, where have I been wronged. I'm just feeling wronged for Miss. There was silence in the car for another moment.

In order to dispel the atmosphere of sadness that was already permeating the car at this moment, Zhou's mother didn't look over, and forced a laugh and shouted to Kangzi and Han Ling'er, who were driving the carriage together outside the car: "Kangzi, Ling'er, let's hurry up and hurry to Chuzhou to rest!" ”

Xu is Zhou's mother's intimacy made Chu Qingruo's heart feel a little warm, she put down the book, breathed a long sigh of relief, and showed a relieved smile to Zhou's mother.

Mrs. Zhen sat in the carriage, staring at the curtain in front of her with her two eyes, as if she wanted to burn a hole in the carriage in front of her through the curtain.

Chu Qingruo, you slut, there is a road in heaven that you don't take, you don't take so many roads in the Great Yan Dynasty, you just want to crash into my hands, hum, go along the way, you give me a little care, don't let me catch the opportunity......

Three days later, Chu Qingruo and his party were delayed due to the addition of Baili Sheng, so that when they arrived at the Chuzhou ferry, the huge official boat was already docked at the ferry. Chu Qingruo looked at the empty ship in great loss and wept silently......

"Brother Shui, are you back?" It was a thirteen-year-old girl who was dressed as a fisherwoman, and her skin was a healthy wheat color due to her perennial fishing life. There are a few playful freckles on his slightly round face, and his round eyes are full of vigorous vitality.

"Hmm." The young man in a beige shirt, with his sleeves rolled, hummed softly, put down the blanket on his back, walked to the well to fetch a basin of water, and quickly washed his face with a handful of water in his hand.

"Give." The little girl handed him a handkerchief, and the young man took it with his eyes closed, wiped it on his face a few times with one hand, and took the basin in the other, walked to a small vegetable patch planted in the yard, and poured water into it.

The little girl looked at his face that had not yet been completely dried, and a drop of water slid down his handsome chin to his Adam's apple, and her eyes couldn't help but shine. Brother Ah Shui is so good-looking, more than ten times better than all the people in the village combined.

Her surname is Wang, her name is Ah Xiu, she has no mother since she was a child, and her father depends on each other for her life, relying on fishing for a living, and the people in the village call her father Daddy Wang.

He has been unconscious since she rescued the scarred Ah Shui from the river half a year ago. She and her father spent a lot of money to hire the best doctor in the county to treat him, and they pulled him back from the brink of life and death.

When he woke up, he asked him what his name was, and he just looked at her and Daddy blankly, and shook his head when he asked where he lived.

Daddy said that he fell from a height and broke his brain, but he was afraid that he was stupid. The family is not well-off, and I am afraid that the family will not be able to afford to raise a stupid boy.

So Daddy ignored her objections and insisted on rowing the boat to send this "stupid" boy to Baicheng, sending it farther away for fear that he would find it back.

Who knows, after half a month, this stupid boy not only came back by himself, but also brought back two or three taels of silver. This stunned Daddy, and when he sent him away, Daddy personally changed him into clean clothes, and knew very well that he didn't even have a copper plate on him.

Daddy asked him with surprise: "Silly boy, where did you get this silver?" ”

"Lanterns." The silly boy spat out two words.

Daddy circled around him in disbelief and looked him up and down. "You mean you know how to make lanterns?" Can't you see that he's quite capable?

"Well, lanterns, elegiac couplets, easy!" The silly boy said without modesty.

"Hey, you're still panting, aren't you? Do you also write elegiac couplets? Literate? Come on, write me a few words. Daddy looked left and right on the ground, saw a small branch in the distance, raised his legs, picked it up, and stuffed it into the stupid boy's hand.

The silly boy pinched the branch and looked at Daddy in a daze, Daddy took out his favorite dry tobacco stick from his waist and took a puff, and then nodded at him: "You just write...... Well...... Your own name! ”

“？”

"Yes, your name is ...... Well...... Ah Shui! You just write the word Ah Shui! Daddy Wang knew that he didn't remember his name, so he casually made a nonsense.

The branch easily wrote two beautiful big characters on the ground, and Daddy squatted on the ground with her and looked at it for a long time and came to a conclusion, it seems that this kid has gone to school, not only can he write, but also write quite like that!

After Daddy finally realized that he had picked up the treasure, he not only kept him, but also killed the only chicken in the family for the first time and stewed a pot of chicken soup for him to replenish his body.

So, this Ah Shui, who didn't even know his name, lived with them for half a year. In the past six months, he went fishing with the two of them during the day, and sat at the table at night to make lanterns and write elegiac couplets. Then she and Daddy went to Baicheng once a month to sell the lanterns he made and the elegiac couplets he wrote.

Unexpectedly, Brother Ah Shui's elegiac couplets have won the favor of several shopkeepers in Baicheng, and they all said that his calligraphy is better than those talented scholars in the city, and they have said that there will be written elegiac couplets that can be sent to their stores to sell in the future, and they are willing to buy them at a high price for every twenty extra pennies, so that Dad laughs happily all day long.

And what about her? Since Brother Ah Shui woke up from a coma, he found that he was not only handsome, but even his figure was more handsome and tall than the men in the same village, unlike them, who were all three or five thick.

A pair of confused eyes from time to time often make her unconsciously beat faster, and her face was as red as if it were burning. Every time she saw Brother Ashui, her heart was like a deer crashing, and she was flustered.
