Chapter Twenty-Three: The New Widow
Xu You pushed the door in, the autumn equinox sat on the edge of the frost bed, the two whispered something, heard the sound of the door opening and turned their heads at the same time.
"Xiaolang!"
The autumn equinox greeted him, pouting and saying, "Are you willing to come?" ”
Xu You smiled, nodded her forehead, and said, "When you come to a friend, you can't drive people out, right?" “
Autumn Equinox wrinkled his nose, took his hand and walked to the bed, and said with a grin: "Sister Shuang took the medicine but refused to sleep, worried that if you came over, you wouldn't be able to see it, but it turned out that this stay was a lot of time, and my eyelids were about to be opened." ”
Frost's face turned red, and he said, "How can I have it, don't talk nonsense Xiao Nizi......"
Xu You walked to the bedside, moved the stool at the autumn equinox, sat down, and said, "Are you better?" ”
Frost propped himself up, leaned back on the head of the bed, the white quilt slipped silently from the neck, revealing a whiter neckline skin and the shape of a tall bamboo shoot on the chest, the head was lowered, and said: "It's better, I eat porridge and rice, and my body is not so cold," A pair of black and white eyes glanced at Xu You playfully, and then pursed his lips and smiled: "It's just that the medicine is a little bitter......"
She looks extremely pure, but she is used to it, and between her gestures, she will inadvertently reveal a charming demeanor that makes people's hearts beat faster. Xu Youru was like an old monk who was not disturbed in the slightest, and said: "Good medicine is bitter, how can medicine that is not bitter cure a good disease?" Since the symptoms are right, let this Dr. Liu keep watching, and think that the famous doctor who came to Qiantang will not be worse than that of Wu County. You can raise whatever you want to eat, and tell the waiter to do it, but don't save me money. ”
Lu Shuang sneered, causing discomfort in his chest, covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice, and teased: "I know, Lang Jun is very generous, he was going to give me 100,000 yuan when he opened his mouth in Wu County, do you know how many maids you can buy in Qiantang with 100,000 yuan?" ”
Xu You shook his head and said, "People are not beasts, what do you say about buying and buying?" You are also a person who has read the books of sages, since you came to Qiantang with me, it is better to change some of the habits in Qingle Building back then. ”
Frost looked straight, straightened up, and said solemnly: "No, I wrote it down!" ”
Xu You nodded, stood up, and said, "I have something to go out with Fenghu, and I can't say when I will come back." Autumn equinox, you and Lushuang stay here, don't separate, don't go outside, dinner has already been ordered, and it will be sent when the time comes. ”
When he walked to the door, he looked back at the autumn equinox, his gentle eyes were enough to melt all glaciers, and said, "Be careful! ”
Autumn Equinox nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I know, don't worry, Xiaolang!" ”
Waiting for Xu You to leave, the good-looking Xiumei crouched into a small fold, and a trace of worry flashed in the depths of her smart eyes, and said, "Sister, which friend Lang Jun saw just now, went out in such a hurry, did something happen?" ”
"I don't know, I just heard Zuo Langjun say that he was from Jingkou, and he met him outside by chance, and he came to visit Xiaolang!"
"That's ......"
Lushuang slowly lay down, staring at the empty ceiling, and said quietly: "I want to get better quickly, even if I can't help Lang Jun anything, at least I can let him no longer worry about ......us when he goes out to do business."
The autumn equinox Hei Wuwu's eyes turned, and he whispered: "Sister, Xiaolang's tone was a little heavier just now, don't you care......"
Lu Shuang's voice sounded very gentle, soft as the glutinous rice juice that had just been shaken out of the steamer, and said: "Silly girl, Lang Jun talked to me like this, which means that he began to treat me as his own family, where would I care, it's too late to be happy." ”
Out of the Zhibin Building, Zuo Yan found an ox cart nearby, although Xu You's physical condition has improved greatly, but it is better not to walk when he can not walk.
"You said Zhan Wenjun is a new widow?" Xu You's low voice came from inside the ox cart.
"It can't be said that she is a new widow, after all, her Langjun has been dead for more than a year. And before he passed the door, he became a widow, and his reputation in Qiantang was not very good. ”
A widow is a husband who died before he passed the door, this is Kefu's fate, and he will not have a good reputation in any dynasty. Xu You frowned and said, "Who is she marrying?" ”
He Wei smiled and said: "Guo Mian's only son, Guo Li!" ”
Xu You was stunned, and only then did he vaguely grasp He Wei's intention to insist on coming to see Zhan Wenjun.
He Wei knew that Xu You had just arrived and was not clear about the personnel of Qiantang, so he patiently explained: "Zhan Wenjun is the fourth daughter of the sect leader of the Zhan family. But I don't know why when he was thirteen years old, he was favored by Guo Mian and went to Zhan Mansion to ask for his only son Guo Li. Although Guo Mian is a poor family, his family is rich and famous, and the Zhan family is among the scholars, and he is not a high-ranking family, so it doesn't matter if there is a difference between the families, and he soon became in-lawed. After three years, Zhan Wenjun reached the age of sixteen, and the two parties set a date for marriage, and there were five days to go, but Guo Li died violently inexplicably, and Zhan was unwilling to regret the marriage...... This point is more Confucian than Chenjun Yuan's. ”
Xu You said angrily: "Don't divert the topic, continue to talk." ”
Since he didn't want to regret his marriage, Zhan Wenjun had to marry him on a daily basis, and he still held Guo Li's spiritual position in his arms, which became a sensational event in Qiantang that year. It is said that this scene moved Guo Mian to tears in public, and after more than ten days of marriage, Guo Mian was afraid that she would be lonely and unaccompanied in the Guo family, and she was depressed, so she personally sent her back to Zhan Mansion to live, although her name was a daughter-in-law, in fact, she had treated Zhan Wenjun as a daughter......
The ox cart walked through the streets to a quiet courtyard in the east of the city, and through the fence you could see a small three-story building standing alone, but nothing else.
Xu You got off the ox cart and said, "This is it?" The Zhan family is also a big family in Qiantang, but the mansion looks quite simple! ”
"The Zhan family's manor is more than ten miles west of the city, this is only Zhan Wenjun's residence in the city, only she and a dozen maidservants are here, and it has nothing to do with the Zhan family."
Hearing that only Zhan Wenjun lived here, Xu You frowned again and said, "The family is a widow, from a scholar family, and it is no more taboo than ordinary people's families. How can you and I get in the door? ”
"It's good for Shichiro to wait now, if you can't even enter the door, why should I bring you here?"
He Wei stepped forward to call the door, waited for a while, a trembling old servant walked out, full of white hair, like a hunched back, gray eyes and beads looked hard for a long time, then politely said: "My girl widow lives here, never see outsiders, if a few Langjun have something important, you can go to the guest building to find Wuqu Langjun, if there is nothing to do, please go back." ”
Zhan Ting's word is unyielding, which is taken from the sentence "Zong Ran is unyielding". He Wei arched his hand and said: "Please inform the girl that the beggar in front of the guest building came before yesterday to repay her kindness." ”
Not to mention the old servant, even Xu You and Zuo Yan in the back were also stunned when they heard it. With He Wei's intelligence, coupled with the experience of traveling the world over the years, it may be a little difficult to become a wealthy party, but it is definitely not a problem to support yourself, when did you fall to the point of begging on the street?
