Seventh, the road resistance
Niu Lixin was just about to speak before he arrived, when someone came over and asked, "You demolished the temple?" Do you know what this place is? Niu Lixin looked at the ruined temple with only a few walls left and said: "We arrived at it and it has been dilapidated, we really don't know that it has an owner, if it is bad for you, we will repair it again immediately." He had a smiling face, and then Mrs. Miao came out of the house, and the son's eyes lit up, and he looked at Mrs. Miao and asked, "Is this your woman?" How can you have such a good woman? Where did you get it from? He was fascinated by Mrs. Miao, the kind of face facing the morning sun, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his face was like the rising sun, which made him, a man who was used to seeing the wind and the moon, fall into the fog.
After this period of suffering, Mrs. Miao did not hide, she used her fascinated hand to pull back her scattered hair and whispered to Niu Lixin: "This should be from a large local family, so we settled down and sent them away, don't mess with them." Niu Lixin likes his house very much, and there is a reminder from Mrs. Miao, he replied with a smile: "You really know how to laugh, we are from a neighboring county, just because the heavy snow crushed the house, and took the family out to find a place to settle down, met this broken temple, I wanted to spend the night for a while, I left after Tianyan, I didn't see anyone for a few days, and found that this place is a treasure, if there is a disturbance, another day the brother came to apologize." ”
One of the family members saw his son-in-law's eyes on Mrs. Miao, he stepped forward and said: "This is our family's son-in-law, the only seedling who is dozens of miles away from the local government, no matter who goes to the local area to make a living, he has to report to our house." Not only did you not report to duty, but you also demolished our temple, which is a great rebellion, how are you going to apologize? ”
Niu Lixin knew that it was impossible to easily get rid of their entanglement, and he asked: "The matter has already been like this, dare to ask Shi Gongzi, how can we remedy it next?" Shi Gongzi looked at the broken temple that was stormy, and once again glanced at Mrs. Miao, who bowed her head and did not speak, and said: "You have to repair the demolished, my father is a good person, and none of your family can be missing, you have to go to our house to register and make a book, as for how to punish and whether to punish or not, it depends on the meaning of the father." ”
Niu Lixin told them that his father had difficulty moving, and Mrs. Miao had a young child, so he visited them alone. Shi Gongzi said: "How did you move your family from a neighboring county here? It's inconvenient to go to our house to register and move? Do you want our lord to come to you to have a look, if he sees the temple and let you dismantle it like this, he will not have such an attitude as me, this is our local incense place, but because of the heavy snow and wind, you didn't have time to come up to repair it, but you demolished it. ”
Mrs. Miao listened to them arguing and didn't want to participate, so she went into the house and told Mei Yaoming to go, Mei Yaoming sighed and said: "The world is so big, there is no place for us to live, Mrs. Miao, the road is facing the sky, you better go." I see that Niu Lixin has thoughts about you, and you don't look down on us, even if you reluctantly agree, I can't leave with confidence after a hundred years. After you leave, no matter what method you use, I will give him a family member as soon as possible, no matter how bad the conditions are and how ugly the people are, even if you can't go to the door of others like me, and follow their surnames. ”
Mrs. Miao said: "I still want to stay for a while, and help you remember the herbs for your leg injury to Niu Lixin, it's not that I look down on you, I have already told you, your family Lixin is a good person, and I am not worthy of him." If I let you be so displaced, after the New Year, I will leave with my children, when the spring flowers are blooming, and he will not die of hunger or freeze, and no matter what kind of people he meets, he will find a place to study at the cost of my life. ”
Mei Yaoming stopped talking, Niu Lixin and the other party could not negotiate, the other party must agree on how to compensate him in the past two days, otherwise he would drive them away, and distribute their belongings to the people who repaired the temple. Because it is really inconvenient to move, and the New Year is approaching, Mei Yaoming and Niu Lixin have the same meaning, after the New Year, Mrs. Miao's mother and son want to leave, it is better to have a good family to celebrate the New Year first, and register after the New Year, if you can't stay, then change places.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the next day was the New Year's Pass, when the old man came to Mei Yaoming's wooden house with a group of family members, he looked around and said to Niu Lixin: "My son asked you to go and you didn't listen, and you still forced me to come and run for the New Year?" Is the craftsmanship good, can you make the house look like this, you are not a local at first glance, and you are not planning to leave? ”
Mei Yaoming said: "Master Shi, we want to pass after the New Year, we know that you are busy, I am afraid that the past will make you panic, you see I can't go to the ground, a waste person, we don't know that this place has a master, and the family is in a hurry to settle down, and things are done roughly." I can't stand it if I want to beat it, and we don't have it now if I want to punish it, you see, Master Shi, why don't we help you make a few more animal skins in the coming year? ”
Master Shi looked at Mrs. Miao, his son said well, Mrs. Miao's skin and eyes were not the appearance of a small family, he asked, "This is your daughter-in-law?" Mei Yaoming nodded. Master Shi said, "Why don't I look like it?" You have to tell you the truth, we haven't had anything illegal here for many years, and you will build such a good house, why don't you repair the house that you said was crushed by the heavy snow in the former place of residence? There must be fraud in this, I don't think you will tell the truth if you don't go through the officials, and now your son and this lady will go with me to see the officials, I can't let our family have a troubled New Year just because you are here. ”
Niu Lixin has no doctrine, he looks at his father, Mei Yaoming has no choice, Mrs. Miao said: "This master, my son is still young and can't stand the toss, do you think I won't go?" "Master Shi has the same thoughts as his son, he mainly wants Mrs. Miao to pass, he has accepted a few concubines, but he can't have a son, so he leaves a lone seedling in the big house. He has a family business, and now Mrs. Miao can give birth to a son, and she is obviously not a member of this family, if she can add a child to her family without spending the cost of marriage, it will be a really happy year.
Shi Yuanwai said: "This lady, I have heard about it, and I have seen it today, you are not from this family, I am here, don't be afraid, if they use force, I will call the shots for you." They kidnapped you, and they were afraid that you would find them back, so they ran to our ground, right? Come with me to our house, don't freeze my son, and we'll send you home after the New Year." ”
Mrs. Miao was really a little moved, and with the kindness of the time, she looked at Mei Yaoming with her eyes, and her eyes stopped on Niu Lixin's eyes. It's just a few days, they have experienced too many things, whether it is in the middle of the night or on the mountain road, just because Niu Lixin has carried her twice, she can't go out with the timekeeper now, not to mention that the first time is to take the risk to save her from the tiger's mouth, otherwise, she heard Mei Yaoming say that sooner or later she will be sold to Fengyue by the rich lord Lu, and her son may not be by her side. However, if she can settle down in such a big family and receive some points by herself, mother and son can be together, so that she can watch her son have books to read and eat, and she is not the same as who she lives.
In the stalemate between the two sides, Shi Yuanwai lost patience and said, "Do you want me to do it?" If you are willing to tell the truth, if you are not suspicious, I don't have to come in person, this lady will go with me first, don't worry, if there is no problem, it is really from your family, I will send it again immediately, and it will not affect your New Year. Mei Yaoming also has his own plan, he can't let his son have any extraneous branches, it really alarmed the government, and then he found out that he was the one who had beaten the official, then their Mei family's revenge plan really has no hope.
Niu Lixin wanted to use his fist, but then his father spoke, and he said: "I don't know why you insist that she is not my daughter-in-law, since you want to take her over to ask, I can't stop it, and ask Master Shi to send someone to send us early." After the spring of the next year, we will definitely prepare a few more good skins for you that are not injured, Lixin, explain a few words to your daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, the time is not like a bad person, we are waiting for her to come back at home, you will let her bring the flute, blow it when you come back, I can hear it no matter how far away, and then you will go to meet them. ”
Mrs. Miao followed behind them with her son in her arms, and when she looked at her figure, she was as fascinated as his son, women, especially Mrs. Miao, were not fully developed and mature when they got married, and after a few years, after giving birth to a child, all aspects of the angle reached the peak. With perfect curves, a worried face, a sparkling eye, and small steps, he stopped his steps to get on the sedan chair and let Mrs. Miao sit in, Mrs. Miao didn't want his eyes to eat, and really got on his single sedan chair.
When he arrived at home, he didn't ask questions, he found his son and said: "Didn't you tell me that a rough man came and kidnapped a beautiful woman, I went to see it, they are a complete family, they all have sons, I brought them, that woman, why are you sure that people are not a family?" Shi Gongzi said: "Or does my father have a way, and someone brought it?" Of course they are not a family, I let someone eavesdrop before I went, they called her Mrs. Miao, the man's surname is Niu, of course it will not be a family, it can't be wrong. We didn't want our sons, we sent them back, and the woman stayed in the house, and I took a fancy to her. ”
Shi Yuanwai said: "You are the eldest young master of our Shi family, how can you marry a woman with a son?" It's not okay to take a concubine, let the next person know how you can manage the family business in the future, I have always asked you to study and take a fame, you are good, I don't want to think about Yan Ruyu in the book, and I care about the state of a country woman. Shi Yuan's voice was encouraged, Shi Gongzi was speechless, and he asked, "Then are you still going to send her back?" Shi Yuanwai said: "Ask about the situation first, if it is really a kidnapping incident, let the official family deal with it, you go back to study hard, the eldest is not small, the children are small, and the fame is great." ”
