Chapter 156: Little Cousin
Unexpectedly, the Savior was so anxious that he flew down and took her hand and protected her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After falling into the cliff together, the two of them rushed into the water with the waterfall, and she fainted, and her leg was sprained when she fell that day.
She was washed out of the waterfall and fell into the river, but fortunately she was washed by the river to this fishing village and was rescued by Uncle Li, but Xiang'er didn't know where she was washed away, but now her life and death are uncertain.
Now that her injuries have not healed, she can't go far alone, so she can only find a way to return to Fuyi City after her body recovers. Thinking of this, she sighed secretly, knowing that she couldn't rush this matter for a while.
When I thought of her Li Lang, my heart slowly calmed down, thinking that Li Lang didn't know when he would come to the door to propose, and he had a husband and wife with Li Lang that day, and he didn't know if he would be pregnant with a child or something, if people knew, it would be extremely bad.
At this time, when the house was quiet outside the house, Zhao Mengxue turned over and was about to close her eyes, but faintly heard someone in the courtyard talking softly, she was curious, slowly got out of bed, moved to the window facing the small courtyard, and looked out.
Before it got dark, the people in the fishing village turned off the lights and fell asleep, and the fishing village under the moon was silent, with the occasional dog barking and the murmuring of the river not far away, making the movement so harmonious.
In the small courtyard, Zixi's nephew and uncle are still sitting opposite each other on a bamboo bench and talking.
"Fourth son, at what time now, your father is still lying on the sickbed for a long time, you don't stay in the house to wait, but run to your uncle's house to play, how is this filial piety for the son of man? If it is known, will it not be criticized? Uncle Li said with a straight face.
Zixi's face was full of grievances: "Uncle, you don't know, in this mansion, except for the mother and the second brother, no one can get close to the father. Now don't say that you are waiting, just to visit, you need to report to your mother for approval, and send someone to follow you to watch, the person who visited the patient is a meter away, and before he can talk to his father, he was sent out, how can I be filial? ”
"Is that so? What about your mother? ”
"My mother is different from me, I can **** wait by my father's side, but I was ordered by my mother not to leave my father's bedroom for half a step, and my mother and I haven't met and talked for a long time!" Zixi lowered his head and sighed.
"In this case, you should stay at home honestly, read books every day, and help your brothers do things when you have nothing to do, so why go out of the house at will and be talked about by others?" Although Uncle Li is educating his nephew, why isn't he worried about his young and ignorant nephew?
"Uncle taught me a great lesson! Zixi will return home early tomorrow morning to avoid criticism from others. Zixi smiled bitterly.
"Uncle will send you back early tomorrow morning." Uncle Li stretched out his hand to pat Zixi's shoulder, but when he was in mid-air, thinking of his nephew's identity, he finally withdrew his hand silently.
Uncle Li thought of the sister who was at the mercy of the concubine room in the Wang family's compound, but he couldn't help as an elder brother, and his face couldn't help but feel a little bitter, and he persuaded: "Fourth son! It's getting late, so you might as well rest early! ”
"Uncle, I'll sit down again!" Zixi replied sullenly.
Zhao Mengxue saw Uncle Li's expression in the house, as well as his clumsy body when he returned to the house, guessing that he must be full of worries. Imagine that the concubines of ordinary families are not having a good time, let alone the concubines of the rich families in Fuyi City.
Uncle Li must be extremely worried about his sister-in-law and his only nephew, but he is also an ordinary fisherman, and all he can maintain is the food and clothing of the family, so how can he take care of more complicated things.
Wait a minute......! The Wang family? Zhao Mengxue's eyes flickered, and she thought that in Fuyi City, which was quite close to this, in addition to the Wang family of the four major salt merchants, was there any other Wang family?
Zhao Mengxue thought for a moment, and finally slowly opened the door and walked out of the house, quietly coming behind Zixi.
"Uncle, don't worry about me! In today's palace, several brothers are not often in the palace, and my eldest mother will not care about a concubine like me, even if I come out for a few days, no one will notice! Zixi thought that his uncle was gone and returned, and said without looking back.
"Ahem!" Zhao Mengxue cleared her throat in embarrassment and said, "It's me!" ”
"It turned out to be Sister Snow!" Zixi looked back and saw that it was Zhao Mengxue, and read the head politely.
Zhao Mengxue was silent, and then said with a smile: "The night is very good, but I can't sleep, Brother Zixi is willing to go out for a walk with me?" ”
Zixi looked at her uncle's house, and then saw Zhao Mengxue standing calmly opposite, under the moonlight, her smile was so sincere and gentle, she couldn't help but think of her mother's soft smile on weekdays, her nose couldn't help but sour, and she read it silently.
"How old is Zixi this year?" Zhao Mengxue and Zixi walked to the riverside and asked as if unintentionally.
"I ...... Twelve!" Zixi replied with a puffed up.
"Yes! It's not small, there was a twelve-year-old prime minister in ancient times. Zhao Mengxue looked at the boy who was almost the same height as herself and said.
"I ...... It's just a concubine of the Wang family, how can he compare with such a person. Zixi said deflated.
"The Wang family? But the four major salt merchant families? Your second brother is Wang Ziwen? Zhao Mengxue asked indifferently.
"Huh? Sister Xue knows my second brother? Zixi stopped curiously, then shrugged his shoulders and said: "The second brother is amazingly talented, he is deeply loved by his father, and the woman in the city of Fuyi City, who doesn't know the name of the second brother?" ”
Hearing Zixi's words, Zhao Mengxue knew that she had guessed correctly, the boy in front of her was clearly Zhao Zixi, the fourth son of the Wang family, if he really counted it, he was his cousin. Looking at this simple and lovely cousin, Zhao Mengxue unconsciously felt a little more fond.
Zhao Mengxue smiled, stopped by the river, pointed to the river under the moonlight, and asked, "Do you know where this Tuojiang River comes from and where it flows?" ”
"I don't know!" Zixi replied honestly.
"The Tuojiang River, originating in the southern foot of Jiuding Mountain in northwest Sichuan, flows south to Zhao Town, Jintang County, and accepts the four upstream tributaries of the Tuojiang River, including the Bi River, the Qingbai River, the Mao River and the Shiting River, and passes through the Jintang Gorge of Longquan Mountain, and flows into the Yangtze River through Jianyang, Shaoxi Mansion, Fuyi City, etc. to Luzhou." Zhao Mengxue said, "I think, don't say it's you, and your brothers may not know!" ”
"Sister Xue knows so much!" Zixi praised.
"But I don't know how to rock a boat, I don't know how to fish, I don't know how to work hard for a year, and I can only feed a family, although you are younger than me, but you know more than me!" Zhao Mengxue gave a thumbs up and praised.
Zixi blushed and said, "It's useless to understand this!" ”
"The ruler is long, and the inch is short. Everyone has different strengths, so don't underestimate yourself, let alone be arrogant. I think you just need to be an honest man, don't learn those things that fight for power and profit! Zhao Mengxue said with a serious face.
After listening to this, Zixi pondered it carefully, and said with admiration: "It's the first time I've heard someone say that, Sister Xue, you are much better than the pedant Mr. Xixi at home!" ”
Zhao Mengxue patted Zixi on the shoulder and said angrily: "You guy's mouth is very sweet!" (To be continued.) )
