Plum Village

As the name suggests, from the head of the village to the end of the village, the courtyard of every house is full of plum blossoms, the quiet moonlight gradually fades, and the dawn pierces the clouds and reveals a few rays of light sprinkled down, so that the red plum petals seem to be draped in a hazy silver cover, which is very beautiful.

"Xue Xiao, it's so beautiful here." The spirit was dragged up in the middle of the night, and his eyes were very hazy, but when he saw the beautiful scenery here, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Shh Ran Xue smiled and put her index finger to her lips and made a boo motion, signaling her to lower her voice.

"Oh oh ......" Ji Ling covered his mouth with his little hand and nodded.

"Don't forget what I told you on the way." She looked for a farmhouse with no plum trees in or outside the courtyard in the small village, and whispered to her.

"Don't worry, Ling'er remembers it." The spirit echoed, stomping lightly on the wet mud floor, and followed her to the door of a brightly lit house.

"This should be it, let's go inside." Ran Xue smiled and glanced at the plum trees that had been cut off around her, it must be the Li Mu family.

"Xuexiao, where did you run away last night, it seems that you were bitten by something on your neck, why don't you bring Ling'er." The two of them were standing in a corner of the wall, ready to leap over, and when the spirit looked at her, he happened to see several deep red marks on her exposed neck.

I had some doubts in my heart, so I blurted out directly.

"It's a little allergic, so scratch it, don't think about it, it's not early, let's hurry in." Ran Xuexiao suddenly felt embarrassed to be exposed, lightened her feet, and jumped into the courtyard.

As for the red mark on her neck, she won't tell where it came from.

"Hmm!" Jiling nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, and followed in.

"Girl, you're here." Li Mu'er, who couldn't sleep all night, heard movement in the small courtyard, and immediately opened the wooden door and looked out. Sure enough, a beautiful woman in a snow-white plain dress with long hair scattered over her shoulders like ink, and a Qingling woman in a green plain skirt stood in the small courtyard, nodding and smiling at him.

"Girl, please come in, please come in." Li Mu turned sideways to make way for them to walk in.

I have to say that this Li Mu's home is indeed poor, and there are only three rooms in the simple courtyard, and there are labor and agricultural tools for doing farm work on the wall of the left room, which should be the residence of his husband and wife, and the front door of the right room is hung with pink and green cloth to resist the cold wind, which should be his little daughter's residence, and the most secret one is the low room with the faint fragrance of plum is the wine room where the wine is placed.

"When will they come to get married?" Ran Xue smiled and looked around and asked.

"Tatsuki"

"Daddy......" At this moment, just as Ran Xuexiao had just settled in the room, a soft female voice sounded outside the door.

"Xiaomei, how did you get out of the cellar." Li Xiaomei's appearance was unexpected by Li Mu, he glared at his wife who was following his daughter dissatisfied, didn't he say that after tricking Xiaomei into the cellar, no matter what noise he heard, he was not allowed to come out. If the girls in Juyuan Pavilion can't help, he will protect them even if he fights hard.

"Provoking Wenchang is a wicked person with obvious evil deeds, if his father hides his daughter, he will take his father's life." Li Xiaomei's delicate face had two lines of tears, and she threw herself on Li Mu's body and sobbed lowly.

"Yes, the child's father, no matter what, even if you die, Xiaomei and I will dare you to stay together." His wife's words made Li Mu's eyes slightly red, and he lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Thinking that the two girls were still present, he patted his daughter's weak shoulder and said, "Xiaomei, this time our Li family relied on these two girls to ask for help, and we will kowtow to them three times." ”

"Xiaomei thanked the girl for coming to the rescue." She sniffed, glanced gratefully at the two strange women, and knelt down.

"Get up, we also did this after receiving a fee, not to mention thanks." Ran Xuexiao quickly helped her up first, turned her eyes to Li Mu, and explained: "After the person who marries comes, I will pretend to be a bride and go to the Fu Mansion, and then the three of you will find a safe place to settle down with Ling'er, don't come out for the time being, and when I clean up the Wen Chang, you will come back." ”

"Girl, if you go alone, will it be dangerous?" Li Mu was a little worried.

"Don't worry, we've got a plan." Jiling smiled.

Li Mu looked at the leisurely expressions of the two, swallowed the worried words in his mouth, and whispered to his wife and daughter to prepare a meal to fill the stomachs of the two girls.

Time flies by minute by minute.

Ran Xuexiao changed into the bride's wedding dress and sat on the collapse and knocked melon seeds, while Jiling turned her head and fell asleep soundly, and the three members of the Li family hugged each other, their tired eyes closed lightly.

"Ahem." There were too many melon seeds, some dry, coughed, stood up and got a glass of water, and woke up Li Mu.

"Auntie......" He opened his eyes in a panic, and he hadn't finished his words. Outside the door of the small courtyard, the shouts of the matchmaker sounded.

"It's a coincidence." Ran Xue drank a glass of cold water with a smile, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, this Aunt Du is worthy of being a special matchmaker for Wenchang, just marrying a concubine, but she is quite punctual.

"Ling'er, take Miss Xiaomei and hide." Several people negotiated the plan early, and when they saw that they had arrived outside the door, they immediately became energetic. Jiling rubbed his sleepy eyes and led Li Xiaomei, who was awakened, to the wine room.

Li Mu ran to the courtyard to open the door with bloodshot eyes, Ran Xue turned around with a smile, and sat on the couch in a red handkerchief.

This is the second time she has provoked Wenchang's sissy sedan chair, she has to give him a surprise, a picture came to mind, the corners of her mouth on her beautiful face hooked, and she snorted coldly.

"Du... Aunt Du. Looking at the fat matchmaker leading a group of tall and mighty strong men in, Li Xiaomei's mother was obviously a little timid, her eyes flashed left and right, and her hands tightened the hem of her clothes.

"What are you panicking about?" Aunt Du's eyes are very poisonous, and her subtle and overwhelmed movements are all under her nose.

"Nope." Originally, the woman's family had not experienced any strong winds and waves, and she had never deceived anyone in her life, but when she asked, her head was very low, and her legs trembled nervously.

"Then what are you shaking in your legs?" Aunt Du's narrow eyes swept across her, and the sharp voice was even more fierce and there was nowhere to hide.

"Du... Aunt Du, the insider just wanted to cry because the little girl was going to leave home since she was a child, but today is a happy day, and it is unlucky to cry, so I forcibly endure it. Li Mu rushed up from behind, took his wife into his arms, and explained with tears in his eyes.

His words are somewhat realistic.

Looking at her daughter's house, who was sitting on the floor in a regular manner, Aunt Du believed his words for the time being.

"Even if you are lifting, it's best not to play any tricks on the old lady." The thick hand holding the embroidered handkerchief waved and let the strong men carry the dowry in. Boxes of dowry wrapped in red silk filled the small room.

Aunt Du's eyes rolled with disdain, glanced at the two who were standing silent, snorted, and went to pick up the bride in person, twisting her round ass and walking out of the door.

That look, that was a kiss, it was like someone else owed her.

A group of people, the wind and fire finally left the yard, Li Mu and his wife looked at each other, although it was not their own daughter who went with them, but their hearts were abnormal and not tasteful, if there is a chance in the future, they will try their best to repay the girl who saved their whole family.

~

On the path full of mud and flowers, there were no gongs and drums, no relatives to say goodbye, only the five big and three thick men carried a sedan chair and gradually walked away, Aunt Du's short and fat body followed the sedan chair, the embroidered handkerchief in her hand waved, and whispered to the people in the sedan chair to understand: "Don't be angry, who told you to give birth to a good skin, but there is a poor family." In the future, when you come to the provocation mansion, you will serve the eldest son of the provocation family, and you will be blessed in the future. ”

"Yes..."In the sedan chair, there was a subtle response, just like a frightened bird, not daring to chirp and say a word.

Aunt Du rolled her eyes, and continued to wave the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

Hum!

Like this kind of powerless and powerless poor girl, she can see a lot, she just didn't want to be a concubine of a rich family when she cried at the beginning, and she didn't all obediently get on the sedan chair later.

As long as she Aunt Du is out of the horse, there is nothing that can be done, but ...... Thinking of this, the fat body suddenly shook, and the mental damage caused by the girl of the Ran family to the provoking son came to mind.

Not to mention the beauty of the girl of the Ran family, she also has good means. Actually let the pampered provocative son eat this secret loss, the whole person took a while to ease up, and now it is not easy to get out of the shadows, and he fell in love with the Li family in Plum Blossom Village, even if he robbed it, he had to get the daughter of this family into the provocation mansion, fortunately, this family is lifted, and the family hugged each other two days ago and cried and cried and did not agree, and this morning he was obedient like a grandson.

"Hurry up, don't let the provoking prince wait." Aunt Du came back from her thoughts, held the sedan chair with her left hand, panting and hurrying, urging without mentioning it.

The five of them sped up their pace, and before the prince got up, they quietly carried the sedan chair through the back door into the mansion.

Knock Knock Knock—

There was a soft knock on the carved wooden door.

"Provoke Gongzi, are you awake?" Aunt Du gently patted the door and whispered a few times.

"Master, let's do it again." Inside, there was a faint sound of a woman's coquettishness, followed by a burst of laughter.

It seems to be awake.

Aunt Du grunted a few times, couldn't help spitting saliva, she got up early to pick up the bride at dawn and rushed two times away, now not even a grain of rice has not been lowered, it is really sleepy and hungry, the fat person can not stand the hunger, now I just want to take the reward money, send the bride to the hands of Wenchang safely, then go home to drink a few bowls of porridge, and then sleep a warm sleep.

After settling down, he knocked on the door a few more times with his thick hands of gold and silver. Let go of his voice and shouted: "Provoke the son, the bride's old body has been picked up." ”
