In the seventh year of Xuanhe, on July 15, Xu Wei led his troops to suppress the thieves for two days. Xujiazhuang's father and elder looked forward to it, but there was no news. The weather was unusually sunny and cloudy. At noon, lightning and thunder roared, and a downpour of rain fell. A huge Xujiazhuang is shrouded in a rain curtain, and there is no one in sight. At the west end of the village, the two held an oil umbrella together and walked towards the east of the village step by step. When he walked to the door of Xu's house, he took the oil umbrella, but it was the Xu family's groom who led Lang Zhong to come. Xu Wang and Xu Xiuping came out of the house, said hello to Lang Zhong, and stood under the eaves and looked towards the west of the village.

"I've been restless and panicked for half a day, and I don't know what's wrong." Xu Wang said worriedly. Xu Xiuping only thought that she was missing her son in her mother's house, and she didn't talk to her. Glancing at the west of the village, he asked uneasily, "Brother and sister, when do you say the ninth brother will come back?" ”

Since Xu Wang's family married into the Xu family, he often heard her husband mention the march and battle, and knew that the army was impermanent, and the victory or defeat was only a matter of time. The ninth brother only recruited more than 300 people to start fighting, which was really worrying, so after a few words of comfort, he turned the topic to the guests at home.

Last night, the soldiers under the ninth brother carried two sedan chairs to Xu's mansion, saying that a mother and daughter met a strong man, and were rescued by the ninth brother and temporarily placed at home. Looking at the mother and daughter, they were not ordinary people, and when they asked her where she came from, they only said that they were from Tokyo, surnamed He, and went back to Qinghe County to visit relatives. Other than that, nothing else. Seeing that Xu Wei arranged it, the two of them made it clear to the princess, introduced them to live in the guest room, gave them food, and sent someone to seek medical treatment.

"According to the third sister, what is the origin of the mother and daughter?" Xu Wang asked.

Xu Xiuping was worried about her younger brother in her heart, and said casually: "It doesn't matter what way he comes from, since it was arranged by the ninth brother, let's take care of it." ”

Xu Wang's family knew that this sister was born in Jiangmen, and she had always been rough, so she must not have considered it as meticulously. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "That woman has a good conversation, and she must be rich if she is not an official." I have tempted her with words, and she seems to be unmarried, and you say, ......"

At this time, Xu Xiuping turned around and said in surprise: "Don't you want to ......?"

Xu Wang smiled and nodded: "Sister, you think, although this uncle of my family used to be stubborn, now he is much more sensible and has a background. Everything is ready, only the marriage is owed. This woman was born so pretty, I like it so much, she was rescued by her uncle, it is also fate, it is better to ask the origin, how about the matchmaker? "Xu's mother died early, Xu Wang's family pulled the little brother-in-law to grow up, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

Xu Xiuping thought about it, too, that woman was born with a beautiful appearance, and there was no such outstanding girl in the entire Xiajin County. Since she is not yet married, the ninth brother has the grace of life for her mother and daughter, which is a marriage made in heaven. Regardless of whether she is an official or rich, my Xu family is also an official family, my father is a five-grade scholar, the fourth brother Mengyin is a seven-grade person, and the ninth brother is given an eight-grade background before the weak crown, and he will never wronged her.

"I think it can be done, when the ninth brother comes back, let's ask him first."

Xu Wang smiled and said: "This marriage matter, according to the orders of our parents, we only need to ask my father-in-law what he is doing?" ”

The two were talking and laughing, and vaguely saw a team of people coming to the east of the village, and they didn't know if Xu Wei would come back. Hurriedly asked the porter to take an umbrella and hurried over. When the villagers of Xujiazhuang heard the movement, they went out to look around, and sure enough, Jingsuiying Township came back. Those who had husbands, children and nephews who were paid under Xu Wei came out anxiously and looked for their relatives one by one. As soon as they found it, they pulled it home, but for some reason the soldiers did not stop, but went in the direction of the wheat field.

When an old woman saw that her son was injured, she was so worried that she had to drag her home. The son broke free and said loudly: "Now that you are a soldier and are paid, you are not a flat-headed commoner, and you dare not go home without a military order!" "Anyway, return to the team, and don't look back.

The two women of the Xu family stepped forward, but there was no trace of Xu Wei, and they were anxious. Seeing Zhang Qing riding over, Xu Xiuping hurriedly asked, "Zhang San, where is my Xu Jiu?" ”

"Third Sister Xu rest assured! The Jingsui camp won the battle, and the commander personally escorted the captives to Xiajin, and they will return today. Zhang Qing replied loudly on the horse. Hearing that the battle had been won, the two of them were relieved, and they were both happy, and hurried home to report to the Taigong.

Fang walked through the courtyard and saw that Miss He was sending Lang Zhong out. When I saw the two of them, I smiled and was very respectful. Xu Wang's Xu Xiuping saw that she was so polite, and she liked it even more, so she stepped forward to surround her with one left and one right, and she often talked nonsense. Then Miss He was still coping with it at first, but the more the two women of the Xu family talked, the more they couldn't figure it out, how could she resist a yellow flower girl who had not come out of the cabinet? Saying that his mother needed to be taken care of, he left as if he had run away.

Back in the room, Na He's mother had woken up, but she was too frightened, her blood was still weak, and she couldn't get out of bed. Seeing her daughter entering with a shy face, she asked strangely, "Daughter, what's wrong with you?" ”

"The sister-in-law of the Xu family is joking with her daughter, and the mother doesn't have to worry." Miss He poured a cup of tea and handed it to her mother.

Na He's mother's face sank: "In this rural place, the village women are vulgar, so don't talk to them." ”

Miss He smiled: "Mother is too worried, the aunts and sisters-in-law of the Xu family are all warm-hearted and have no malicious intentions. ”

"What do you know? When I get better, I'll go back to Tokyo. At that time, give this family some money, don't make any extraneous branches. He Mu took the teacup and admonished quite seriously.

Miss Ho understood her mother's personality and responded casually. People are kind enough to take them in, even if they want to leave, they should thank the owner in person. These rural mountain people, although vulgar, are all kind and simple people, like the people in the city of Tokyo.

In the evening, she was gossiping with her mother, but the sister-in-law of the Xu family personally brought food and asked about He's mother's condition, and was very concerned. After thanking him repeatedly, Xu Wang smiled and exited the door. helped his mother out of bed, and the two were about to eat, when they heard the commotion ahead.

Mother He didn't like it in her heart, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Go and see, after all, it's a countryman who doesn't understand the rules." ”

When Miss He opened the door, she heard the eldest sister of the Xu family shouting, "Come in quickly!" It's all drenched in soup! Hurry back to your room and change into dry clothes, and I'll keep you for food! What the? Have you eaten with Huang Zhixian? "I guess that Xu Jiu is back from the thief, and I don't know if he wins or loses?

Just thinking about it, Xu Jiu appeared in front of him. Soaking wet, step by step, hair sticking to the face, the well-defined face or washed by rootless water, extremely white. Miss He panicked for no reason, and hurriedly closed the door.
