Chapter 206: The Truth About Marriage
On the second day, Ai Qiaoqiao did not rush to Huai'an City, but first calculated the wages of Runxue and them.
The slurry is all ready and divided into small portions.
Boss Feng came to take away part of the slurry that Ai Qiaoqiao had consigned to at noon, and took away the part of the slurry that was needed in the full building.
Counting the two copper coins in his hand, Ai Qiaoqiao bent her eyes beautifully.
At noon, Zhang Wu came over, and Ai Qiaoqiao calculated their wages at the bun stall in Niangniang Temple.
"My dad is going to hunt in the mountains again." Zhang Wu said, "The errand of repairing the bridge over there in Niangniang Temple has stopped, and there is nothing to do anyway, he is going to hunt more rabbits and come back, and he wants to make a rabbit skin hat." ”
"What about you, are you going to follow you into the mountain this time?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.
"Of course, I don't worry about my dad alone." Zhang Wu said, "By the way, where is the little wolf I gave you last time?" ”
"A few days ago, I sent it to Brother Wen's house, and Brother Wen said that the little wolf should start conditioning from an early age, otherwise he will not be a relative when he grows up, and he will run away."
The two talked, and a carriage came from outside the courtyard.
Ai Qiaoqiao stretched out his head to take a look, and saw the logo of Yicaotang painted on the body, so he knew that he was here to pick them up and enter the city.
"By the way, I heard that your little girl is married?" Zhang Wu asked in a low voice.
"How do you know?" Ai Qiaoqiao was a little surprised, Xiao Ling had only been married for two days.
Zhang Wu pursed his lips, "It has long been spread throughout the village, and it is said that your grandmother is a wealthy eye, first sold your sister-in-law, and later sold her granddaughter...... Qiaoqiao, you have to be careful, don't let your milk sell you. ”
"Hmph, she dares." Ai Qiaoqiao snorted.
"Why not?"
"I owe a lot of debt, if she dares to marry me off, I will let her pay back the money of the night brother." Ai Qiaoqiao raised his face and said proudly.
Zhang Wu touched his nose, "That's right...... You still owe the night doctor 6,000 gold, and I don't know when you will pay it back...... When I grow up, I'll help you pay it back. ”
As soon as Zhang Wu's words fell, a clear cough came from behind him.
Dressed in a black and purple brocade robe, covered with a cloak of the same color, and his hands were in a fluffy hand warmer, it looked like he was holding a small animal in his arms from a distance.
"It's getting late." Ye Liyan said softly, and at the same time staggered past them, and got into the carriage first.
Ai Qiaoqiao responded, and hurriedly turned around and told him to listen to the wind and rain, and arrange the affairs of the family.
This time, the two children did not go into the city with them.
Ai Qiaoqiao sent Zhang Wu away, and went to change her clothes, and when she got into the carriage, she found that Ye Liyu was leaning on the mat with her eyes closed, and she didn't know whether she was recuperating or taking a nap.
She didn't dare to make a noise, and quietly sat down on the other side of the carriage.
The carriage left Xiaofang Village, but it was not in the direction of Huai'an City.
Ai Qiaoqiao stretched out her head and looked out the window, "Brother Night, where are we going?" ”
The night left without a sound.
Ai Qiaoqiao leaned over cautiously and carefully examined Ye Li's face.
"Big Brother Night...... Did you sleep? ”
The carriage swayed, and the body of the night left the corpse leaned forward.
Ai Qiaoqiao was startled, and instinctively opened her arms to help him, but her waist tightened, and when she reacted, it was she who was being supported.
Ye Lixian wrapped his arms around her waist and imprisoned her at his side.
Ai Qiaoqiao earned it and found that she couldn't earn it.
"What to do, let go quickly." Ai Qiaoqiao pouted in displeasure, feeling that she had been deceived.
"You're still thinking about paying me back?" The night is gone, and the tone is quiet.
He tried to make his tone sound less mindful, but Ai Qiaoqiao was still keenly aware of his sourness.
"If you owe a debt, you naturally have to pay it back." Ai Qiaoqiao explained, "My father and son still have to settle accounts, and I won't repay them." ”
The hand around her waist slowly tightened, "Zhang Wu...... He wants to help you pay off your debts? ”
Ai Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, looking innocent.
"Brother Night, what exactly do you want to say, are you okay?" She lifted her hand to touch his forehead.
How did this man speak?
The corners of Yeli's lips were pursed, and there was a faint trace of annoyance between his eyebrows.
In fact, even he himself is a little disgusted with himself.
What's wrong with him, just because of the young man's words just now, he actually sulked.
But when he thought about it again, he couldn't help but feel lucky.
If he hadn't known her, he would never have been able to experience this kind of worldly troubles in this life.
Let him be happy and sad, angry and mad.
The carriage jolted again, and Ai Qiaoqiao noticed that the carriage had slowed down, and a village appeared in front of it.
Just when she was puzzled, Ye Liyan said, "This is Zhoujia Village in the east of Chuanziling, and Zhoufu is a big household here. ”
Ai Qiaoqiao was surprised.
Before she mentioned to him about Xiaoling's marriage, he had already helped her arrange things.
Ye Liyan looked at Ai Qiaoqiao's expression first surprised, and then turned into joy, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
The carriage stopped a short distance outside the village.
Another carriage from Yicaotang was waiting there, and an old doctor from Yicaotang got out of the carriage and saluted the night departing.
"The owner."
Ye Liyan bowed slightly, which was a return gift.
Ai Qiaoqiao changed into the outfit of the medicine hall guy and jumped out of the car.
Ye Liyan did not enter the village, Ai Qiaoqiao followed the doctor of Yicaotang into Zhou Village.
In fact, it's not that Ye Liyan doesn't want to follow, but his appearance is too conspicuous, especially in a place like the countryside, his appearance will always attract a lot of attention, in order to let Ai Qiaoqiao get useful news, so he has to wait outside the village.
Ai Qiaoqiao followed the doctor into the village, and first went to a few random houses.
There is also a reason why Yicaotang has the best reputation in Huai'an City, one of which is that their doctors are available for free from time to time in the surrounding villages.
Although they are all about minor illnesses, for those poor families with poor family backgrounds, this is equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow.
Ai Qiaoqiao carried a medicine box and pretended to be a medicine boy when the old doctor was seeing a doctor, and talked with the villagers.
She tentatively mentioned the Zhou Mansion, and immediately some villagers shook their heads and sighed.
"Since ancient times, it has been said that there are no young and old on Huangquan Road, and Zhou Xiaogongzi is an unblessed person, born in a rich family, but he has tuberculosis."
"Over the years, their Zhou Mansion has invited a doctor, and your doctor in Yicaotang alone has invited many times."
Ai Qiaoqiao said vaguely, "When we came, on the way, we heard that the Zhou Mansion was going to hold a happy event, and I thought it was Zhou Xiaogongzi's illness that had been cured." ”
"How can tuberculosis be cured?"
"That is, Zhou Xiaogongzi is only six years old, and his body is weak, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive the New Year's Pass, and the happy event is just to give him joy."
"I don't know who is so ruthless, marrying their daughter to be a funeral, it's really unconscionable......"
The villagers shook their heads again and again, but they didn't dare to talk out loud.
Ai Qiaoqiao's heart chuckled.
"Isn't it for Chongxi, how can it be a funeral?"
"Hey, the Zhou Mansion is a particular family, they are not just for Chongxi, but they want Zhou Xiaogongzi to marry Yin, and after he dies, the newly married bride will also accompany him into the coffin."
Coffin! Funeral!
Ai Qiaoqiao only felt that the blood all over her body rushed to the top of her head.
It turned out that the Zhou Mansion was going to marry Xiaoling...... I actually want to use her as a funeral!
