Chapter 716: The Mood of Selling Children
The distant mountains were white, black and white in front of them, and the branches of the trees on the side of the road were bare and swaying in the cold wind.
On the official road leading from Pengcheng to Mengxian in the Song Kingdom, there were few pedestrians, and occasionally horses galloped past. It was the messenger of the Song Kingdom, who was delivering documents and tables to the capital and various places. The two wide carriages squeaked and swayed slowly.
From time to time, from time to time, a baby cried vigorously: "Wow! Wow! Wow! β¦β¦βγ Forthwith! A young woman's cry was heard: "Oh! Oh! Oh...... Gen'er is hungry! Mother's Milk You! Oh! Oh! Oh......"
Under the coaxing of the young woman, under the infusion of milk, the baby stopped crying. The carriage continued to creak and headed south.
Along the way, the carriage stopped and stopped, and it was only three days to ride a fast horse, but it was normal to walk for four or five days, seven or eight days, and the result! This walk is half a month.
Mai'er had already been informed by the black-clothed senior brother that Brother Zhuang, Sister Rong'er, and Sister Qing'er were coming back, so she was ready. During this time, she was nervous and excited, and cried twice from time to time.
"Brother Zhuang! Whining! You want to lose weight! Selling said with a cry in her heart.
In fact! Where did she lose weight? Not only is it not thin, but it seems to be a little fat.
The beggar and the beggar all said that she was fat, but she didn't admit it.
"I weighed, and it didn't weigh it."
The two beggar brothers saw that she didn't admit it, and they became serious, so they didn't dare to fight with her anymore.
A few days ago, Mai'er received a notice from the messenger that Zhuangzi had returned with a letter and would arrive home in a few days, and asked her to clean up the house, and she was excited for several days and nights without sleeping well. This time I didn't lose weight, but my eyes were dark.
This! It was the time to decide her fate.
Brother Zhuang promised her, now she is his sister, in the future! She was his wife.
When Sister Rong'er and Sister Qing'er came, her fate was almost decided. And also! Mother-in-law Dai Liu'er also returned.
Yes! What an exciting time it would be!
Thinking of this, where can she still sleep?
If it weren't for the special situation, at her age, she would have already run all over the place, and she should have been the mother of several children. Because my brother is a "thief", because my brother is a "thief", because my family is poor, so! When she was in Qiyuan, no family was willing to marry her.
Even though she is also very beautiful and rich! Although she can work as a woman, she can support herself. But? The people of Qiyuan were afraid of trouble, and no one dared to marry her. Men of the same age like her, but they dare not marry her because of the opposition of their parents.
In order to welcome the two sisters and her mother-in-law, as well as pray for her marriage, she asked the beggar and the beggar to accompany her back to the Mojia branch altar. And then! Lie to the two brothers and say that she wants convenience, so let the two of them stand where they are and wait for her. Outcome! She secretly opened the cave by herself and took out about a hundred taels of gold from it.
The two brothers waited stupidly for most of the morning, but they didn't dare to ask. I thought: It's too long to sell this soak of urine or a, right?
The seller put the gold in a cloth bag, put some things in it, carried it on his shoulder, and came out.
Seeing this, the two begging brothers hurriedly stepped forward to help her get it, but she refused to live or die.
"I'll take it! I'll take it myself! I know martial arts! I practice! Practice! β
Because I came back late, I naturally ate at a restaurant on the street at noon. Anyway, it is convenient to live on the street and go to the restaurant.
"Happy selling today! Whatever you two want to eat! The seller generously took out a piece of gold of about ten taels, put it on the dining table, and said magnificently.
When the shopkeeper and the young man who served saw this, their eyes lit up.
"Wow! Gold! β
"Gold! Wow! β
The whole restaurant was crowded to see the gold, and there were really many people who had never seen gold.
"Brother Zhuang will be back in two days! So! Sell your child and take out the family! Brother Zhuang is a father, and he has a fat boy! ......" sells and bluffs at the people around him.
"Ahh Is Zhuangzi coming back? β
"Ahh Zhuangzi became a father? β
"Ahh Is that Zhuang Zhou back then? He's also a father? An old man asked incredulously.
"Brother Zhuang is in his twenties! Brother Zhuang has a beard! As she spoke, she gestured to her face.
Seeing this, the people around laughed one by one.
When the shopkeeper saw that the seller had taken out a piece of gold weighing about ten taels, he was first happy, and then wilted.
With such a heavy amount of gold, his family couldn't find it for change. Where is the property of a family with ten taels of gold? If it's ten taels of silver, you can still find it.
"Sell my sister! This meal is free today! We can't find a piece of gold in such a big land! The shopkeeper said helplessly.
Just like when I was in the lacquer garden, there was no one in the whole town who didn't know the seller. And! Everyone also knows that she has a marriage contract with Zhuangzi and is Zhuangzi's fiancΓ©e.
Other than that! also knows that she knows martial arts, a very evil martial arts, and beats people invisibly. casually made a move, and knocked someone down, you don't know what trick she used?
"That won't do! Can't take advantage of you! If Brother Zhuang knew, he would scold the seller! β
"But me? My shop is small, I really can't find it! β
"So be it! You keep the account for the seller, and then pay the bill when the seller has change! β
A few days later, another messenger came and said that there were still two days to go, and Zhuangzi and his party would be able to return, and asked how the seller was ready.
These messengers were all official messengers of the Song Kingdom that Zhuangzi met on the road, and Zhuangzi asked them to pass by to give him a message. It is not a specially invited messenger, it is the voluntary help of that kind of personal relationship.
When Mai'er heard that Brother Zhuang would be back in two days, she was so anxious that she cried again.
When the messenger saw the seller's appearance, he left without waiting for a reply. In fact! He also helped Zhuangzi pass the word by the way, and no longer went back to reply to Zhuangzi. In fact, it doesn't matter if he passes on the word or not, it's just by the way.
The seller did not close his eyes for two days and two nights in a row. This! She's really thin, so thin that she only has two big eyes.
finally waited until the third day dawned, thinking that Brother Zhuang was coming back. Outcome! I waited for another whole day, but I still didn't wait for Zhuangzi.
In the evening, it will be another difficult night. In the second half of the night, Mai'er couldn't hold on anymore, so he fell asleep in a daze. Then! There was a knock on the door outside.
The black-clothed senior brother and the beggar and the beggar are not sure if they are Zhuangzi, how can it be Zhuangzi in the middle of the night? So! didn't alarm the seller, and quietly came to open the door to see what was going on.
Outcome! After opening the door, I found that it was really Zhuangzi and his party.
"The carriage is broken! Cough! I could have come back when it got dark, but it turned out! This carriage was repaired until midnight! Zhuangzi explained to the black-clothed senior brother, the beggar, and the beggar.
Rong'er got out of the car with Zhuangsheng in her arms and walked to the yard. Seeing such a good courtyard, I was very satisfied, and I suddenly felt like I was going home.
After Dai Liuer saw this home, she felt very comfortable! She has been adrift all her life, and finally has a sense of home. I heard that this courtyard was bought by the seller, and I immediately had a good impression of this future daughter-in-law.
Yang Qing'er carried a long sword on her back and had a big belly, standing in the courtyard and looking around, disapproving.
"Sell! Sell! Sell! Your Zhuang brother is back! The black-clothed senior brother shouted towards the inside of the hall. didn't wait for Mai'er to answer, and explained to Zhuangzi: "You're all waiting for Sell'er to lose weight." β
"Sell my sister! Sell your sister! β
"Your brother Zhuang is back! Sell your sister! β
The two beggar brothers also shouted into the hall.
Half a day later, a head poked out of the door of the hall. replied: "Brother Zhuang is back?" Brother Zhuang......"
"Plop!"
Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground and fainted.
