Chapter 19: Shuangshu
In the afternoon, a group of three people walked on the official road from Heshan to Yongping.
At the head was a big man in black, with a knife at his waist and a whistle stick in his hand, riding a horse to lead the way, followed by two Wenxiu sons, each riding a horse and following behind. These three people are Zhao Zhong, Jiu Niang and their female companions.
In the end, he couldn't twist Zhao Zhong's insistence, and he was a little afraid that his father would be angry, so Jiuniang took her female companion and reluctantly embarked on the journey back to Yongping.
Afraid that there would be something magnificent on the road, this time Zhao Zhong left his younger brother Zhao Yong at the mouth of the river, and personally escorted the young lady back to Yongping.
The estuary is only more than 30 miles away from Yongping, and it is said that with Jiu Niang's quick temper, it took less than an hour to ride a horse, but Jiu Niang was with her female companion this time, and walked slowly on the horse. Zhao Zhong in front had to be patient, while letting go of the horse and moving slowly, while paying attention to what happened to Jiuniang in the back.
On the side of the road, the green mountains and green waters are moving into a scene, but Jiuniang has no intention of watching, and keeps talking with her female companion.
"Sanniang, you say that you are not angry, your father-in-law is too rude, leave us behind, I don't know where to run."
In the morning, Chen Yuan threw the two of them to the Zhao brothers, and they disappeared, which made Jiuniang angry when she remembered it now.
"Jiu Niang, what kind of husband is it. I don't have much to do with him anymore. Sanniang hung down her pink neck, dripping. This Sanniang is naturally the young lady of the Shi family.
"You just pretend, who heard about the divorce yesterday and made trouble at home." Jiu Niang glanced at it disdainfully.
"Jiu Niang! I was just angry that my mother didn't discuss a thing or two with me, so I went to Chen's house with someone. ”
"So, if Aunt Shi informs you, you will agree. Now, this person, you can be regarded as having seen it, and it is not a blind marriage and a dumb marriage. In my opinion, although this Inspector Chen is not handsome, he is eccentric, but he doesn't feel boring, and he is still a good person, so you are willing to do it? ”
"Jiu Niang, if you say this again, I will be annoyed." Shi Sanniang said hatefully.
"Okay, I'll stop talking."
Seeing that Sanniang was angry, Jiuniang hurriedly begged for mercy. thought about it, and then said: "Sanniang, what do you think of this person now, if it doesn't work, let's ignore him; If you still like it, we don't recognize the divorce or something. ”
"Hmm." Sanniang hummed softly, stroked the mane on the horse's neck, and did not speak. Zhao Zhong in front heard the two little girls talking, and hurriedly urged the horse to take a few steps forward.
"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have? I don't like it, so I broke it and pulled it down. Seeing her female companion like this, Jiu Niang couldn't help but say anxiously.
"The divorce was all done by A-Niang, and my father wanted to see it." Sanniang was muddy for a while, and said softly.
"Oh, then you don't agree?" Jiu Niang asked.
"Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker are up to us." Sanniang sighed.
"Phew, we can't be our own masters yet. The order of your parents, your parents ordered you to marry a blind man, a lame man, and you will marry too? Just like that master Wang, he walks with a limp, do you like it? Jiuniang smacked and said with a smile.
"Jiu Niang, don't talk about people behind your back. The prince is also quite pitiful. The whole family was killed by the Tartars, and they themselves also broke their legs, and they escaped death. Sanniang said.
"There are so many poor people. This master, don't look at the smile on his face, but he has a belly of bad water. Jiu Niang said hatefully.
"But this prince is very good to that man. It can also help that person a lot. ”
"Yo, that's for that person." Jiu Niang quipped.
"Jiuniang, if you do this again, I will really ignore you." Sanniang said in shame.
"Okay, don't talk about it, keep talking, you and I have turned faces, this lead mountain, who am my Jiuniang going to talk to." But then again, what's going on in your mind? Jiuniang said.
"As a daughter, I naturally have to follow the orders of my parents. My father has made an appointment with Uncle Chen for several years. A-Niang had a quarrel with the Chen family this time, and it is indeed over, how can Uncle Chen change his mind as soon as he goes? When this spreads, how do people still think of my Shi family? How can I still have the face to meet people? Sanniang said with some concern.
"Hey, what's this? Didn't Uncle Shi agree yet? This Shi family, in the end, it is not Uncle Shi who takes the idea, you just listen to your uncle, isn't it? ”
"However, the Chen family sent all the Geng stickers back...."
"Haha, what's this, isn't it just a piece of paper. Otherwise, let someone send them back to Chen's house another day, or simply come to death and not admit it, just say that they have never seen any Geng stickers. Jiuniang said with a smile.
"Jiu Niang, is this okay?"
"Why not! Isn't it just a piece of paper, what's the big deal. By the way, didn't you write a marriage letter in the first place? ”
"The marriage book, maybe there is, maybe the father put it away, this time A-Niang asked people to go, but she didn't find any marriage book, so she asked Aunt Lan to take Zhang Geng's sticker to Chen's house."
"Well, that's a bit weird. It stands to reason that even if you can find that Geng sticker, there is no reason why you can't find the marriage book, could it be that the marriage book was put away by Uncle Shi, and this Aunt Lan took it to the Chen family with a fake post? ”
"Who knows now, I heard from the people who went to the Chen family that Aunt Lan made a big fuss about the Chen family yesterday and tore up his post. For this matter, a group of people were caught by the Chen family, and they couldn't get up now. Because of this, his mother was furious at home, and she was urging her father to deal with him. Sanniang sighed and said.
"Sanniang, this thing is strange. This Aunt Lan, there is no need to tear the sticker, could it be that she took a fake one, and she was afraid that the Chen family would find out, so she tore it up. ”
"What's the use of talking about that now. My post was also returned. Sanniang said in a low voice.
"This Chen family hasn't returned the marriage letter or written the divorce letter, right?" Jiuniang said lightly.
"I haven't heard of that."
In this world, engagement is a major event, and the party exchanges Geng stickers and concludes a marriage letter, and this divorce usually has to be returned or the man writes a letter of resignation.
"Hehe, that's it. How can there be such a child's play, taking a piece of paper home is considered a divorce. Don't worry, Uncle Shi must know about this. Jiuniang smiled and said with relief.
Sanniang thought about her father's cowardly and persistent character, maybe it was really as Jiuniang said, and couldn't help but nodded.
"Okay, now you can rest assured, this surnamed Chen can't fly. My Sanniang. Jiuniang said with a smile.
"Hmph, ignore you, who wants to be cold. Yesterday, Aunt Lan said, this surnamed Chen, said what kind of toad am I, what does he look like? Whoever wants to be cold will take it. Sanniang listened to Jiuniang's analysis, and she also put down her worries, but thinking about what the Chen family did yesterday, she couldn't help but be annoyed.
"That's what you said, don't regret it then." Jiu Niang said with a smile.
"Hey, you little hoof, you don't like it." Sanniang quipped.
"Go, the text can't be done, the martial arts can't be done, they will only open their mouths and make some strange things out, except for my Sanniang Xihan, who can be happy." Jiuniang said disdainfully.
"Okay, you're a Jiuniang, you know how to arrange me. See I don't tear your mouth. As soon as Sanniang pulled out the horse, leaned over, and was about to pull Jiuniang.
"Haha, who has a different heart, who knows." Jiu Niang smiled and dodged.
As the heart faded away, the two little girls became active, frolicking while hurrying. Zhao Zhong in front of him kept worrying about his heart, afraid that they would fall off the horse. Fortunately, the two of them sat down with very docile You Chunma, and there were no accidents.
"Sanniang, don't you think that security group is weird? I also went to the barracks with my father, and there is no such barracks in this world. This security team, from the inside out, is full of eccentricity. If you don't practice the sword formation, you can turn left and right, and let the soldiers sing, sing when walking, sing when you are resting, and even have to sing when you eat, and it is just those strange songs. What are the three major disciplines or something. The two of them quarreled for a while, and then brought up the matter in the estuary camp.
"Didn't the brothers of the Zhao family say it, this is a song made up by the security regiment for the soldiers to sing in order to keep in mind the rules of the army."
"That's weird. But it's good. I've never heard a song like this. There is also the song that has been sleeping for a hundred years, and the rhythm is weird, but it is quite good. This song is singing heart-wrenching, and there is a feeling that I can't help but want to stand up and fight with the Tartars. ”
"yes. We southerners, no, the Han people have been bullied by the Hu people in the north for too long. This time the Tartars went south, it was a big disaster, and I really don't know how it will ..... in the future." Sanniang was worried.
"Alas, it would be nice if all the Han people in the world got up, no matter how fierce this Tartar was, it would be driven away. What is hateful is that those traitors, not only do not regard themselves as Han Chinese, but also help the Tartars to slaughter Han people. These people are really inferior to pigs and dogs. ”
"Yes, how difficult it is to unite the Han people in the world. I hope that the imperial court can beat the Tartars back this time. God and Buddha bless. ”
"Sanniang, you better recite less Buddha, it's better to ask for someone than to ask for it. This Tartar Bodhisattva God and Buddha can't take care of it, we still have to rely on ourselves. ”
"How can you rely on it, we are all weak women, what is the use of this chaotic army?"
"Sanniang, this is your mistake. What this man can do, why can't we women do it? This riding horse, drawing a bow, we are no worse than those stinky men. If I don't have to worry about my father at home, I'll be a Mulan and stay at the estuary. Jiuniang said proudly.
Looking at the man-like female companion beside her, Sanniang shook her head, but didn't say anything more.
After doing this for a while, Shi Sanniang looked at the sky and said with some concern: "Okay, go back quickly, the family must know, and then A-Niang doesn't know how to count me down." ”
"What are you afraid of, if she is allowed to push such a good husband out, we are not allowed to go and see it?" Jiuniang said with a straight face.
"Jiu Niang...."
"Giggles, teasing you." Jiu Niang giggled on the horse, "Just be honest." Don't worry, you won't say that I dragged you to the Drifting Spring to see the former residence of the wedding stalk. Do you have to honestly go to the estuary to see your little son-in-law? ”
"Jiuniang ....."
"Okay, got it. Don't mention any son-in-law or anything, next time, let's go to the estuary to see if the security team is okay. By the way, where did this Chen Xun go? I hated the cripple, with a smile on his face, and no one on his lips to tell the truth. ”
"He's made the stall so big, he must have been busy. I don't know what will happen in the future. Sanniang was worried.
"What are you afraid of, the sky can't come down, even if you come down, there are tall people on top. By the way, there's the inspector on top of it. Let's go back and deal with your Mrs. Shi. Jiuniang waved her horsewhip boldly and said with a smile.
