Chapter 21 Sister Zou Yan has a story

Zou Changxi secretly thought: "Brother must be stable, but he can't show his feet." ”

This sister has taken care of her since she was a child, and she can be said to be the person who is most familiar with her, and her behavior is slightly abnormal, maybe others can't notice it for a while, but it will definitely arouse my sister's vigilance.

And the worst thing is that my sister is very superstitious, in case she suspects that she has hit an evil spirit, summons a cadre of monks in the house, ties her tightly to a pillar, and performs some exorcism rituals.

"The slave and maid attack incense (green lotus), please say hello to the girl."

Zou Changxi walked into the water pavilion, and the two maidservants interlocked their fingers, hung down their left waist and bent their legs to salute.

"No courtesy." She made a gesture to her feet, then turned to the other maidservant, and smiled affectionately: "Aunt Xiu, bring me some fish food." Since I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, more than half a month has passed in a flash, and I miss the koi in this lotus pond very much. ”

After Xiugu entered the house, she changed her name to Yunxiu, and her age was similar to that of her sister, about thirty-four or five. Hearing that her sister was twelve years old, Yunxiu began to serve, and she was the most senior person in the house, so the slave was called Aunt Xiu.

As for Zou Changxi, there is a difference between the respect and inferiority of the master and the servant, and she called Yunxiu to be Aunt Xiu, also out of Aunt Xiu's kindness, treating her well and taking care of her like an elder.

Xiu Gu handed over the fish food, and when she saw that it was a torn wheat cake, Zou Changxi grabbed a small handful and sprinkled it on the edge of the lotus pond, which instantly attracted swimming fish to compete for food.

"Ah, Xiaobai, Xiaohei, Ah Hong, Ah Hua...... I'm back to feed you, do you miss me? Zou Changxi frowned slightly: "Eh, no, where is the rhubarb?" ”

"It's full, it's diving, it's hiding." Her sister Zou Yan said: "Xianyu, Xiankao, grandfather, grandmother...... Have you instructed your entourage to rebuild the tombs? ”

"Sister don't worry, it's all done." Zou Changxi smiled: "Even the weeds around have been completely removed." ”

In the end, she was a little worried, I don't know if she fled from Yongqiu, and after the old thief Zhang Ji heard the news, he would be so angry that he would dig up her ancestral grave and make things difficult for the Zou clan left behind.

"That's fine." Zou Yan said solemnly: "Last night, Shopkeeper Liu came to report and told me about your changes in Yongqiu, the world is getting more and more chaotic, and my sister has no ability to protect you." ”

Zou Yan looked back at Yunxiu: "Yunxiu, after a while, you will bring a famous thorn and invite Zhao Gongzi to come to the house for a while, and strive to finalize Changxi's marriage as soon as possible." ”

Hold the grass, my brother is still about to cancel the marriage contract, why are you in a hurry to marry me off.

Zou Changxi was in a hurry, pulled Zou Yanhao's wrist, and said coquettishly: "Sister, I don't want to get married, I want to be with you all the time." ”

"Child's words!" Zou Yanjiao said angrily: "You don't want to get married, don't you want to be like your sister, miserable for this remnant of life, and waste your youth?" ”

"Isn't that good?" Zou Changxi said with a smile: "You can eat whatever you want, you can play wherever you want, and there is no constraint on three obedience and four virtues." ”

Zou Yan dragged her hand, held it in the silky palm, and said earnestly: "Changxi, you have to understand that this is a troubled world, a stormy and troubled world......"

"You are so naΓ―ve, how do you know that the world is dangerous, if you want to survive, you must find a husband to rely on. It is true that the Zhao family is not one of the four great families of Yingchuan, but it is also a deep-rooted family......"

What's more, the Zhao Zou family is a world friend, and it is understandable to be close to each other. Especially Zhao Gongzi, my sister has cleared the customs for you, and I have also sent someone to inquire carefully, you are a good match with him......"

"Besides, no matter how dignified he is, just because he is both civil and military, and he has a deep affection for you, he is worthy of entrusting him for life."

"I don't care, I won't get married!" Zou Changxi protested: "Especially Zhao Yan, I hate it the most, I won't marry if I die!" ”

Zou Yanwan smiled: "You kid, in the past, when Zhao Gongzi came to the house, you were happier than anyone else, why do you hate him again?" But did he you off? ……”

"You can rest assured, when Zhao Gongzi comes, my sister will reprimand him for you."

Zou Changxi was very melancholy, how to explain that her mentality had changed, and she didn't want to marry any man, so she didn't make her sister suspicious?

She squeezed out the milk, Sao Rui made a mistake, she racked her brains, and she really thought of a way, just use the number of roads in the TV series, but it seems to be a little bloody. She weakly defended: "I was happy at that time, purely because I took him as a brother, and never involved in the personal affairs of men and women. ”

"Then when Zhao Gongzi came to be hired, why didn't you refuse at the beginning? I also pulled my sister to nag non-stop, so happy that I didn't sleep all night? ”

"Well, that's because, because ......" Zou Changxi's eyes rolled: "Because I'm still young, I don't know what love is." ”

"Okay, okay, don't make excuses, do you think my sister will believe it?"

Zou Yan smiled helplessly: "I think you are bold and reckless, you take the baby by caesarean section on the street, and now your brain is blind, you should go back to the room to rest early." ”

Come on, it's just this bit of, it's not clear, Zhentema is nerve-wracking.

Zou Changxi decided not to care, the most important thing now is that the pajamas, oh no, are they persuasion, or [shuì] clothes. Well, it doesn't make a difference, it's no rut.

All in all, in short, persuade my sister to leave Yingchuan, lest she be like Tang Ji, the mother-in-law of the abolished emperor, settled in Yingchuan's homeland after being widowed, and was captured alive by the plundering Xiliang army.

In any case, she must leave, before the Xiliang army ravages.

It just so happened that Du Ji guy was also going to Jingzhou to avoid trouble, everyone walked together, took care of each other along the way, and could also contact and contact feelings, at least before the Battle of Chibi, the situation in Jingzhou was relatively stable.

In addition, everyone is gone, what bullshit marriage will naturally fall through, who to love will accompany Zhao Yan for the rest of his life, anyway, it's not a goose.

"Sister," Zou Changxi was worried: "I heard Zhang Ji's old thief say that the Xiliang army plundered Chenliu County, and the next step will be to loot Yingchuan County, we must now count our family assets and leave this place of right and wrong in advance, it will be too late." ”

"My sister knows." Zou Yan nodded lightly: "At eight o'clock this morning, I have instructed the steward of the prefecture to sell off the shops and fields in various counties......"

"At that time, all these family assets will be your dowry. My sister has nothing else to wish, I just want to see you in a wedding dress, marry in a beautiful scenery, and be happy and healthy all your life. ”

Why do you go around and around, you still have to get married, Zou Changxi was anxious: "Sister, the marriage matter, let's put it aside for the time being, and it's not too late to discuss it later......"

"Can't be put on hold!" Zou Yan interrupted, stroked Zou Changxi's cheek, and said with teary eyes: "Changxi, sister is afraid, I'm afraid that I won't see you again, I won't see you get married, I won't see you spread out, I won't see ......."

She couldn't cry when she spoke, and Zou Changxi looked puzzled: "Sister, you are still so young, how can you not meet you?" Chang Xi will be with you for the rest of your life. ”

Yunxiu handed over the silk handkerchief, Zou Yan wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Changxi, you are greedy for urine, especially you love to drink crucian carp soup." My sister has instructed the cook to buy fresh crucian carp and come back, and I will cook it myself at noon, and keep it for you to salivate. ”

"Great! Sister's craftsmanship is much better than that of the cook, and I have a good taste at noon. ”

"The flowers and bones in my sister's courtyard are still waiting for me to take care of them, so you should rest early."

Not long after Zou Changxi left, Zou Changxi led a few maidservants and left the lotus pond abruptly.

Yun Xiu helped Zou Yan to take a walk, and the former plucked up the courage to say, "Miss, Yingchuan is in danger, don't you plan to leave?" ”

"Leave?" Zou Yan smiled sadly: "This is my home, I want to accompany it, forever, forever." ”

"Miss, Yunxiu has served you for many years, and knows you better than anyone else, you can't fool me at all."

Yun Xiushan persuaded: "Since you can't give up, why don't you forgive that person?" Chang Xi is so old, it's time for you to let go of those unbearable pasts, why are you bothering about it, and the person who changes the law is embarrassed, and you are also embarrassed - yourself? ”

"Huh, forgiveness? Put it down? How to forgive? How to put it down? ”

Zou Yan choked back tears, her eyes were extremely sad, and her voice was extremely bitter: "Over the years, I have not known the taste of food, I can't sleep at night, and I often wake up from nightmares, all thanks to that beast!" ……”

"Those painful memories are like fanged vipers, spitting letters, mercilessly gnawing at my heart, broken hearts, dripping blood......"

"Only by taking Cold Food Powder can I forget the pain for a while, the pain that hurts my heart."

Yun Xiu trembled and said, "But eldest lady, you locked that man in the cellar and tortured him for ten whole years, you locked through his pipa bones, whipped him with a salt-soaked leather whip, poured it with boiling water, and burned it with a red-hot iron...... Isn't that enough? ”

"Not enough! Far from enough! ”

Zou Yan's face was gloomy and terrifying, the green tendons on her forehead burst out, and her eyes were full of bloodshots: "I want to spend the rest of my life to torture that beast and kill itβ€”Fang Xiu!" ”

"Miss, those grievances and hatreds will only blind your mind. You should start a new life, you still have Changxi ......"

"It's because of Changxi that I hate it even more! Go, that beast's hair has grown again, come with me and burn it again! ”
