Chapter Twenty-Five: Someone Listens Outside the Window
Follow Sanniang along the alley to the end, and then turn right to the third house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The gate of Sanniang's house is wide, the bronze ring of the Zhumen, and there are two stone lions standing at the door, which is majestic.
The houses here are all built into courtyard houses, and they are covered with two or three storey arched pavilions. There must be more than a dozen houses, and those who can't live in them can be rented out and collect some rent to supplement the family.
Sanniang led Li Mo into the courtyard and pointed to a room in the right corner of the courtyard, "I haven't seen you come back in the past two days, it is estimated that the house is about to become moldy, hurry up and open the window to breathe." ”
Li Mo nodded yes, and saw Sanniang turn her waist and go back to the main house, and then walked towards the house.
Before he reached the door, Li Mo's eyes inadvertently swept to a window on the second floor that was opened, and quickly closed, and most of the light green sleeves were sandwiched in the window lattice, and then pulled in again.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Looking at the color of the sleeve hem, it was clearly the same as the clothes he wore with the girl he lost just now.
Li Mo tiptoed up to the second floor, walked silently to the window, and quietly listened to the movement inside.
"Lin Lang, how can this be?" A timid female voice sounded in the room, faintly sobbing.
"It's okay, Qiao Xiu, let's leave here in the evening and rush to Lin'an overnight. When we got there, no one recognized us. It was a man who spoke, comforting the woman inside.
Li Mo, who was standing outside the window, knew that he was really right now, the missing bride was not called Qiao Xiu!
However, he did not rush to push the door in, but continued to stand outside the door and eavesdrop.
Qiao Xiu in the house continued: "Lin Lang, fortunately, those missing women were found by the government, otherwise we would have made a big mistake." Today, I looked at my parents from a distance and found that my mother's hair was gray. I, I'm really unfilial! ”
Lin Lang comforted: "Qiao Xiu, the son of the Tian family is a stupid bedridden paralytic, how can I watch you jump into the fire pit!" ”
Qiao Xiu sighed lightly, "Alas, Lin Lang, this is all fate." Auntie suffered a lot from her father's fist because of this incident, and Daddy said that her daughter was born to lose money, and naturally the one with the highest price will get it. ”
"Alas! It's all my fault, I'm a wreck! If I can come up with so many dowry gifts, I can welcome you through the door in a beautiful way, where do I need to tell this big lie? It's all my incompetence! Lin Lang blamed himself.
"Lin Lang, don't blame yourself. I originally thought that we would work hard in Lin'an and earn money to pay off the Tian family's dowry as soon as possible. It's just that today I ran into a messenger on the street, and he followed me for a long distance. I'm so scared, I'm so afraid that they will be caught and taken back to Tian's house, woo woo woo. ”
"Qiao Xiu, don't cry. Now that this situation has been reached, let's leave tonight, leave this place of right and wrong, and start anew. ”
The words of the two people in the house were deep and meaningful, and Li Mo listened to them with relish outside the house.
No wonder I couldn't find the daughter of the Nading family who was married, it turned out that she really eloped secretly.
Looking at the little couple in the room crying and crying, it seems that they are really more in love than Jinjian.
It's just that how did the daughter of the Ding family disappear from the sedan chair in front of so many people?
And she said that she almost made a big mistake, could it be that she knew the poor monster who became a sprout and cultivated again?
Li Mo was thinking about it, and Sanniang, who was drying clothes downstairs, shouted, "Let you open the window to breathe, why did you run to the attic?" ”
"Oh, it's a nice view, I'll stand there casually." Li Mo responded.
Sanniang continued to dry her clothes boringly, too lazy to care when he opened the window to breathe, anyway, it wasn't her.
Lin Lang and Qiao Xiu in the house didn't expect that there would be someone outside the window, so they were so frightened that they stopped at the same time.
After a long while, he shivered and pushed open a crack in the closed window lattice, and looked out boldly, only to see Li Mozheng waving his hand at them with a bright smile, "Hey! ”
Ding Qiaoxiu has been worried for two days, and his nerves have long been tensed.
At this time, seeing Li Mo, who was following her just now, suddenly appeared, her little face suddenly turned pale, and Lisuo's eyelids lifted and she fainted.
"Qiao Xiu, Qiao Xiu!" Lin Lang hurriedly supported the crumbling Qiao Xiu and carried her to the soft couch in the house.
Li Mo simply pushed open the door and walked in, sitting on a chair with a grin, "It's okay, I guess I'm scared, I'll wake up after a while." ”
Lin Lang first probed Qiao Xiu's snort, and his tentacles were warm and slightly cool; Seeing that her face was ruddy as usual, she relaxed a little.
He carefully helped Qiao Xiu tuck the corners of the quilt, glanced at Qiao Xiu with infinite nostalgia again, sighed deeply, walked up to Li Mo with his head down, and said, "Master Poor, these things are all my ideas, and they have nothing to do with Qiao Xiu." Arrest me and go back to the yamen! ”
Li Mo raised his eyebrows, "Arrest you back to the yamen?" On what charges? ”
Lin Lang raised his head in some surprise and found that Li Mo didn't seem to be joking, "This, spreading rumors and abducting female dependents." Whichever one is enough, it's enough for me to eat a few years in prison. ”
"Could it be that the food in the prison is very good, and you want to go in so much?" Li Mo said unhurriedly, "Tell me first, where does spreading rumors begin?" Also, how did Qiao Xiu disappear from the sedan chair in full view? ”
Lin Lang glanced at Li Mo carefully, and found that the person in front of him wearing a yacha suit was very different. He is completely not as arrogant as those officials in the past.
Inexplicably, Lin Lang suddenly wanted to tell him the story of him and Qiao Xiu.
"I'm a porter, I don't have much ability, and I only earn enough money every day to make ends meet.
But even if he is a porter, he wants to have a warm home and live a warm life.
And my biggest wish is to marry my childhood sweetheart Qiao Xiu home.
Qiao Xiuren is beautiful and kind-hearted, and has two sweet dimples on her face when she laughs.
Every time I see her laughing, no matter how tired I am, I think it's worth it.
I finally saved fifty taels of silver and prepared some fruits to go to Qiao Xiu's house to propose, but her father beat me out.
He said that I was just a poor footman, a poor sour family with a dilapidated house and a broken yard, where could I be worthy of Qiao Xiu!
I knew that I didn't have the ability to give Qiao Xiu happiness, so I had to work harder to make money.
Thinking that if she can't marry Qiao Xiu, it would be good to save some money and wait for her to be a dowry when she goes out.
However, I didn't expect that in less than two months, Qiao Xiu was promised.
I went to inquire secretly, and Qiao Xiu was promised to the Tian family on the other side, who had a lot of fields and a very prosperous life.
I heard that the dowry money was full of three hundred taels, and Qiao Xiu's father was drunk and boasting in the peach blossom dock all day long.
It's just, it's just that Qiao Xiu suffered.
There is no one in the neighborhood who does not know about these three streets. The son of the Tian family has been disabled since he was born, and he is stupid and can't tell him, and he is still a paralyzed person who is bedridden all year round. ”
