Chapter 33: The Goodwill of the Town

Seeing Yueniang so negative, Aunt Wang was immediately a little angry, but she couldn't bear to scold her daughter, so she could only find the stubble of the shopkeeper Wang: "It's all your blame for being an old immortal!" ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he could only bow his head and break the corn, silent, Luo Qinghe, who thought that he had escaped the catastrophe, felt that the shopkeeper Wang was a little pitiful, but he was glad that the war did not burn him.

Luo Qinghe just wanted to escape in the air, but he didn't think about it, and he was suddenly slapped hard in the back.

Yueniang reprimanded: "It's all your fault that you caused such a big disaster, how many grievances did your grandfather suffer?" ”

Luo Qinghe also knew that in the context of this era, the matter of withdrawing from his relatives was his own fault, so he could only follow Yueniang honestly, and said: "But I think Aunt Guo's buddy is not bad, if he is willing to join the family, I can marry tomorrow!" ”

"You're going to me off!" When Yueniang heard this, she turned around and patted Luo Qinghe's head again, and said, "Don't listen to other words, how can your grandmother remember these useless words so strongly?" ”

Wow, how wrong to say! Luo Qinghe was helpless.

The reason why Aunt Wang said this was because as soon as Aunt Guo heard that she had broken the marriage contract with the Shen family that day, she immediately led her youngest son Guo Tao to the Wang family to talk about marriage.

In fact, Aunt Guo is also kind-hearted, after all, in this era, a woman who has been ruined in her marriage is regarded as no longer innocent, and it will be difficult to remarry!

But Aunt Guo was not picky at all, but generously promised, saying that if the marriage was completed, the two would continue to live in the Wang family to help take care of the business.

When Aunt Wang heard that there was such a good thing, she was immediately very grateful, and she got up to agree, but was stopped by Yueniang.

But Yueniang didn't say why she objected, but just excused herself that Luo Qinghe was fifteen or sixteen years old now, and since she didn't want to, she wouldn't marry so early.

Luo Qinghe listened and nodded very cooperatively.

However, she didn't agree to this marriage because Guo Tao was not a good person, in fact, this Guo Tao was also an honest and hardworking person, and Aunt Guo's family was close to the Wang family, if Luo Qinghe was completely a woman of this era, I was afraid that she would agree.

But Luo Qinghe believes in marriage based on love, and she and Guo Tao haven't even met a few times, how can it be said that they will become married?

Luo Qinghe thought about it, and sighed heavily in his heart: But in this era, how can there be an opportunity to have a relationship with others and find the love of his life?

After Luo Qinghe and Shopkeeper Wang were scolded, they honestly did not make a sound, and Aunt Wang and Yueniang on the side were also angry, and for a while, the atmosphere of the Wang family was very depressing.

But at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Granny Wang, Aunt Luo!" Open the door for me! ”

Waiting for Yueniang to hurriedly open the courtyard door, I saw Guo Tao carrying two wooden barrels full of water, and carried them all the way to the eaves before putting them on the wall, and said honestly: "No, I see that your family has to make snacks every day, and you need a lot of water to come, so I beat a few buckets, if it's not enough, you can tell me!" ”

"Enough, enough! You're so thoughtful, kid! As soon as she saw Guo Tao, Aunt Wang immediately smiled, hurriedly brought out tea from the house, and greeted him with a smile, and almost called him her grandson-in-law.

Luo Qinghe was speechless on the side, but was suddenly pushed into the house by Yueniang.

Seeing that Yueniang didn't want Guo Tao to see Luo Qinghe, Aunt Wang was suddenly a little dissatisfied in her heart, but it was not easy to say it directly to make Guo Tao sad, so she wanted to beckon him into the house to sit down and rest for a while, but at this time, someone suddenly came to the gate of the courtyard.

"Is this Wang's dim sum shop?"

"Exactly, what kind of dim sum are the guests going to buy?" Aunt Wang saw that there was business coming to the door, and said enthusiastically: "It's just that our signature Luoquan Mansha was sold out in the morning, and now it's being done, if you want to buy it, you have to wait for a while, but there are almond crisp malt paste or something!" ”

"No, no, no, I don't buy snacks! Your home is a royal dim sum shop! The man smiled politely, tore off a purse full of copper coins from his waist, put it in Aunt Wang's hand, turned his head and ran away.

"What do you mean, guest?" Aunt Wang was confused, and she only felt that she couldn't accept other people's money in vain, but the person left a sentence far away: "You can take it, it's okay!" ”

"No way!" Aunt Wang hurriedly pushed Guo Tao: "You chase after her and return the purse to her!" ”

When Guo Tao heard this, he chased after the purse he had honestly received, but it didn't take long for him to run back with sweat on his head and return the purse to Aunt Wang and said: "That person said that he also wanted to do something good and help you, so he asked you to leave this purse." ”

Aunt Wang only felt inexplicable: how could there be nothing to do to stuff silver into others?

But since this person came, the Wang family has always had inexplicable people to send silver every once in a while, and they all threw it down and ran, leaving only the Wang family confused every time, and they didn't know what to do.

What's even more terrifying is that once Luo Qinghe had just finished the rose cake, another person directly paid twenty taels of silver and took a plate away.

Holding the heavy silver, Luo Qinghe was stunned and stunned for a long time: How could someone spend so much silver to buy a few broken cakes?

In the past few days, the Wang family has seen more and more silver sent, but they have kept beating drums in their hearts: What is the origin of this silver? Will something happen?

The shopkeeper thought about it again and again, and hurriedly took out the clay jar for pickling pickles at home, and stored all the silver in the clay jar, and wrote the account book in a hurry.

But it didn't take long for someone to send an answer.

Because many people were gossiping about Luo Qinghe and Fang Shaoze two days ago, so when I saw Fang Shaoze leading a dark-skinned young man to the Wang family today, Aunt Wang only felt that her brain hurt.

What has become of all this rumors outside? What is Fang Shaoze doing at this time?

However, Luo Qinghe has never had any holidays with Fang Shaoze, but has received a lot of help from him, so he is very warmly hospitable, and said with a smile: "Young Master Fang, the business of our family's dim sum shop is getting more and more prosperous, and our family is busy all day long!" ”

When Fang Shaoze heard this, he knew in his heart: Luo Qinghe just used this to let him know that it was absolutely impossible to go back to Fang's house on an errand, after all, the second lady had already spoken to that point.

Fang Shaoze suddenly felt that his ears were a little red, cleared his throat and said politely: "It's good if the business is good!" Miss Luo, the reason why I came this time is because my grandmother said that she wanted Aunt Luo to go to her courtyard to talk about something. ”

"Talk to me about something?" Unexpectedly, the person Fang Shaoze came to find today was actually herself, Yueniang suddenly wondered.

Fang Shaoze nodded and said, "Yes, grandma originally planned to come to the Wang family to talk to you directly, but she was really unhappy in the past two days, so she could only trouble Aunt Luo!" ”

The reason why the Wang family was able to make a living that month after the fire was also thanks to the old lady's kindness to leave Yueniang behind, so this time the old lady spoke, Yueniang readily agreed, but wondered: "Then why did this young master come?" ”

When Zhong Mu heard Yueniang ask about himself, he hurriedly ripped off his purse from his waist and said, "Before I came, my mother instructed me to transfer this silver to you!" ”

"Why do you want to give us silver?" Upon hearing this, the Wang family asked in unison.

After hearing this, Zhong Mu glanced at Luo Qinghe and smiled heartily.

Seeing his reaction, Yueniang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in her heart: If you are talking about marriage, then this young man looks much more thoughtful than Guo Tao!

However, Zhong Mu didn't have that thought, but praised: "My mother has long heard that Miss Luo is only a teenager, so she has the courage to protect her family in the fire, and she can also go to the master's house for her mother to work and worry about the livelihood of the whole family, so my mother admires Miss Luo very much, and as soon as she heard that your family is in difficulty, she asked me to bring some silver taels over." ”

"Why is your family so clear about our family's affairs?" Luo Qinghe wondered.

"Whew!" Zhong Mulang laughed loudly: "The matter at the Fengyuan Shen family's birthday banquet that day has long been spread throughout Luoquan, and after the people in the town heard about it, they all gritted their teeth and scolded the fat head king for losing his conscience, and also praised your chaste nature, so I want to send some silver, I wish you to repay the Shen family's money as soon as possible." ”

After saying this, the Wang family realized what was the reason for the people who have been throwing money at home inexplicably in recent days?

However, Yueniang's focus was very strange, and she hurriedly asked, "Young Master Zhong, don't the people really dislike Qinghe's ruined marriage?" ”

Zhong Mu shook his head and said, "Why dislike it? Mrs. Shen personally said that he was afraid that you would be delayed by the Shen family's atmosphere, and he recognized you as his godgranddaughter! ”

As soon as she heard this, Yueniang reacted quickly, slapped her thigh and said, "It's not!" Qing He had talked about this divorce with Mrs. Shen before! ”

But the shopkeeper Wang on the side hurriedly pinched Yueniang quietly, signaled her not to continue, and then turned his head and asked, "Then have they ever discussed the matter of Qinghe being sued by the yamen?" ”

"Then there is no more!" Zhong Mu said: "Everyone knows that the Qinghe girl will do it to the fat head king in order to protect herself and protect her mother, and the villagers also say that the fat head king has evil intentions to bully the weak woman, and he should die, and this half-body fate is cheap for him!" Even if your family wants to pay him money, the people of the town are very angry! ”

"Then Lord Jiang also acts according to the law, but the hearts of the people really move my family very much!" When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he relieved himself and explained with a smile.

Yueniang also wiped her tears on the side and sighed: "Great! I thought that during this time, our Qinghe would be poked in the backbone by many people, but I didn't expect everyone to be so kind! ”

Although Luo Qinghe kept saying that she didn't mind others scolding her behind her back, when she heard that everyone had good intentions, her heart was also relieved, and she was very grateful to the kind people in the town.

After this matter was clarified, when someone sent money again, the Wang family was not as frightened as before, but politely tried to return the money to others: "Right now, our family's business is good, and we can all work, and our family can earn back this silver little by little!" ”

When the people heard this, they were even more moved, and one by one they insisted on keeping the silver, and some of them took away the rose cake and almond cake and other snacks when they left, under the pretext that they had come to buy snacks.

Seeing their sincere intentions, Aunt Wang only felt full of emotion and admiration.

Luo Qinghe couldn't help nodding in agreement when he heard this, and squatted down again to calculate the silver in the clay pot, he had saved up in the past few days, and he actually had seventy or eighty taels, if he added the hard work of the family, I was afraid that the Shen family's account would be cleared in a few years.

However, after Yueniang came back from Fang's house, she often looked into the distance without saying a word, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and even picked up the wooden box left by Luo Qinghe's father in the past two days, and sighed with sorrow on her face.

Seeing her description, Luo Qinghe was very puzzled: What did the old lady of the Fang family say?
