Chapter 408: Giving up halfway
Hearing her say this, Zheng Rin was distressed, and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he gently patted Lantern Xiao's ass with a little complaint: "Little rabbit cub, if you dare not listen to your mother in the future, Lao Tzu will beat your ass." ”
Guo Mianmian slapped his hand and said angrily: "Are you such a father?" Why didn't I see you so fierce? ”
Zheng Rin did not hide his partiality, and said: "My daughter is used to spoil, how can she be the same as a stinky boy?" ”
The most nervous thing is that looking at his daughter Xiao's wife-like face makes me feel more angry in my heart, let alone fighting, I can't even say anything heavy.
Guo Mianmian didn't know his thoughts, looked at him with pity, giggled, and said to Lantern Xiao, who didn't know anything about his father's partiality: "Dad can't be changed, my mother can only pray to God to give you a well-behaved and pleasing nature, don't let your father get angry." ”
The little baby of the Lantern Festival showed an innocent smile at his mother.
……
In the next day, Guo Mianmian was busy with his own affairs in the world, while waiting for Guo Yu to come to the door. It's just that I didn't see anyone coming over at night, and I couldn't help but wonder if I couldn't return in time and stayed in the county seat for the night.
Until he wanted to turn off the lights and go to bed, no one came to the door, Guo Mianmian confirmed that Guo Yu did not return, or that it was not good to return too late, so he went to bed to rest after washing. Before going to bed, there is always something uncomfortable in my heart.
I don't know how long I slept, but in a trance, Guo Mianmian noticed that the man beside her sat up, she closed her eyes and asked, "Is it the Lantern Festival pee?" ”
Zheng Rin didn't expect to wake people up, and said softly: "It seems that someone knocked on the door, I'll go out and have a look first, you can sleep with confidence!" ”
When Guo Mianmian heard this, she recovered a little, opened her eyes and asked, "Who will knock on the door so late?" Did you hear it wrong? ”
The Zheng family's yard is large, and it is divided into a front yard and a back yard. They live in the backyard, and if there is a knock on the door, they are unlikely to be heard unless there is a shout.
"I heard you right, I'll take a look!" Zheng Rin leaned over and tucked the corners of the quilt for her mother, let her continue to sleep, and opened the door and went out.
Listening to his footsteps, Guo Mianmian couldn't sleep, pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside, and heard nothing except the whirring wind.
It didn't take long for Guo Mianmian to hear the footsteps of Zheng Rin's return, but it was like the gentleness when he went out, but it became fast and urgent, and the people were flustered when he listened. Somehow, she inexplicably thought of going to the county seat in the morning, and she didn't know if there was a returning little brother.
The next moment, Zheng Rin entered in a row and whispered in Guo Mianmian's ear: "Ye'er, Lao Zhang is here, something happened to his family, I have to go to the county seat overnight, you wait at home, I will return when it is dawn." ”
Guo Mianmian endured the flustery and just wanted to nod, but suddenly asked by mistake: "Is it really Brother Zhang?" ”
Zheng Rin didn't expect her to ask like this, and was stunned for a moment. When he reacted and wanted to say something, Guo Mianmian had already gotten up from the bed: "Is it my eldest brother or my second brother?" It's the little brother who has an accident, right? ”
Guo Mianmian didn't have time to think why she thought that the person who came was not Zhang Niuyu, it was probably because she missed Guo Yu for a day, and about the reason why she had special abilities, her sixth sense was far stronger than ordinary people. And Zheng Rin's momentary stunned just now confirmed her guess.
Without waiting for Zheng Rin to reply, Guo Mianmian quickly lit the oil lamp at the head of the bed, got dressed and walked out in three or two clicks, and was pulled by Zheng Rin, and said truthfully: "The person who came is the eldest brother, he said that the second brother has returned, and reported that their younger brother was detained by a family, let us go to assist, what is the details The second brother has not yet said." ”
Under the dim light, Guo Mianmian's face was white: "Yes, yes, the little brother must have been tripped up before he had time to return." Yes, we have to hurry to the county seat and bring the little brother back quickly. ”
Seeing that his wife was messed up, Zheng Rin held her down: "Ye'er, this part-time job will be handled by the husband, and the husband will definitely be able to bring the younger brother back safely, so you will stay at home and take care of the two children, and wait for us to return." ”
"No way, I'm going with you." Intuition reported to Guo Mianmian that it was not easy for Guo Yu to be detained, she thought that if she didn't go, it would be difficult for her younger brother to get out. In short, she was bound to go.
Zheng Rin couldn't persuade him, Guo Shu was in a hurry in front of him, he couldn't help but agree, went to wake up Meng Shi on the other side, and asked her to come over and sleep with the two children.
Seeing that the expression of his son and wife was wrong, and even the brother-in-law of the in-laws came, Meng guessed that something big had happened, and he had to tell them to be steady on the road, and he would take care of the children so that they should not worry about it.
This time, Zheng Rin did not follow the carriage, led the horse out of the backyard, let Guo Mianmian sit in front of him, and wrapped her tightly in a fox fur coat to protect her from the cold wind at night.
The couple came to Guo's house and learned from Guo Lin that Guo Yu was the family that had detained Guo Yu, so they ran to the county seat first.
Guo Shu and Guo Lin brothers drove a carriage with Guo Laoshi and Mu Shi to follow behind.
It was none other than Guo Yu who "detained" him, it was Zhao Zhifu who had taught him his homework in Yunxiao Academy.
Zhao Zhifu loves talents, Guo Yu first entered the Yunxiao Academy, he took a fancy to him, usually very informing Guo Yu, often secretly opening a small stove for him, tutoring him in his schoolwork.
Guo Yu respected Zhao Zhifu very much, and after the middle move, he specially came to the Zhao family with a generous gift to thank Zhao Zhifu. This time is no exception, after coming to the county seat yesterday, he first set a new departure date with two classmates, and then came to Zhao's house again to visit Zhao Zhifu.
Zhao Zhifu knew that Guo Yu was going to Beijing to take the exam, so he had the heart to mention some things about him about Chunyu and let him stay longer.
Guo Yu knew that Zhao Gongfu had participated in the Spring Festival several times, even if he did not obtain the fame of Jinshi, it was enough for him to mention him who had no resume. And Zhao Zhifu has a colleague who is an official in the capital, so he asked a little bit about the likes of the examiners. Regarding Zhao Zhifu's kindness, he was naturally grateful, so he stayed in the Zhao family.
It's just that who would have thought that there would be a problem with this stay, so that Zhao Zhifu had to "detain" the person, otherwise the person would be out of his house, and some part-time jobs would be unclear.
At this time, Zhao Zhifu was very repentant, and repented that he should not have left Guo Yu for dinner, so he should not persuade him to drink, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened.
"Master, I can't blame you for this, or your protégé has bad morals." Mrs. Zhao persuaded her, and the words were all complaints about Guo Yu, and the anger in her heart was no less than that of Zhao Yufu.
Zhao Fufu's expression became more and more unpleasant, but he said to Mrs. Zhao: "This matter has not been clarified yet, so don't say such things again." ”
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her face turned white: "What, the part-time job is clear, you still want to protect him?" He is your valued protégé, could it be that my Rongrong let him pollute in vain? ”
Zhao Fufu was in a mess in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to quarrel with Mrs. Zhao, so he had to soften his voice and said: "There is neither any evidence nor physical evidence, just a few words from Rongrong's master and servant, it is difficult to confirm the truth of the part-time job, everything is still waiting for the Guo family to come!" ”
After that, he reminded Mrs. Zhao: "Guo Yu is my protégé, and I will go to Beijing to take the exam after a while, and my reputation must not be bad." Rong Rong is your niece, and it happened in our family, she is a girl's family, and her reputation is hindered, no matter what the truth of the part-time job is, this part-time job cannot be passed out of our Zhao family. ”
Mrs. Zhao is not stupid, just now she was careless, and now she was reminded by Zhao Zhifu, knowing that it was the best to do this, but she was holding her breath in her heart: "It's not that I'm biased towards Rong Rong, you also know how nervous your daughter's family is about the festival, and now there is such a scene, no matter who is right or wrong, for Rong Rong, the name is already bad." ”
Zhao Zhifu said helplessly: "That's why I left Guo Yu behind and let the two of them sit down to discuss, it is best to suppress this matter in our family and not let a trace of wind be revealed." ”
Mrs. Zhao shook her handkerchief and said distressedly: "What if you press it down?" You see what Rong Rong's sadness has become, I'm really worried that she won't want to do something stupid. ”
As she spoke, she suddenly asked, "Your protégé hasn't been taught yet, has he?" It just so happens that Rong Rong is also unmarried, so it is better to get close to each other, which will not tarnish his reputation, and Rong Rong's reputation will be preserved. ”
The more I thought about it, the more I thought that this was a good idea, but in fact, Mrs. Zhao didn't believe that he was a person of bad morals, and she believed that there was a misunderstanding.
"Yu'er really hasn't been subjected to the room, saying that she will return next year."
Regarding Mrs. Zhao's proposal, Zhao was not surprised. After the part-time job happened, he thought the same thing in his heart. It's just that it's not up to him to decide whether it's right or not, and the two of them have to say it themselves.
Zhao Fumin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two families were the best way.
In another room, the mother and daughter of the Sun family were talking.
Mrs. Sun nodded Sun Rongrong's forehead heavily, and scolded: "You girl has no brains, such a huge thing really did it yourself without consulting me, have you ever thought that if you are sloppy, your reputation will be over!" ”
Sun Rongrong shrunk her neck, there was fear on her face, and she didn't confess: "Mother, he doesn't think about his daughter at all, if his daughter doesn't seize this opportunity, he will be engaged to someone when he returns in the spring, and it will be too late." ”
It's not that she didn't listen to her mother's words, every time that person came to Zhao's house, she pretended to meet him by chance and found it in front of his eyes. Since the middle lift, he has come too few times, and the only time she has "coincidentally" met him twice, he missed it, and he didn't look at her who had been carefully dressed up at all.
She hid in her aunt's study, eavesdropping on him and her husband. The uncle-in-law asked him when he would receive the room and asked his aunt to give him a match, and she clearly heard him say that after the spring festival, he said that he would kiss and follow his father's mother's wish to have a child.
She didn't understand his father and mother at all, and she didn't know how to let his father and mother know about her existence, she had a heart to please his father, but it was useless.
The most nervous thing is that he doesn't have her in his eyes, if he continues like this, she can only watch him marry a girl, have children with a girl, and even see him in the future is a luxury.
She didn't want to do this, so she could only use her own methods to make him have her presence in his eyes. No matter how risky this method is, whether it can work or not, she can only do it. Thankfully, everything turned out to be her assumption, and she was going to make it!
"In this case, you should also discuss with your mother, can you not help you?" Mrs. Sun looked at her daughter with a yearning face, she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, and couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong: "Later, my mother will go to your aunt, and I will let your aunt stand on your side." Your father is coming, and you don't have to confide in your father. ”
When the part-time job reaches this point, I can only go hard. She didn't believe that the Guo family didn't want to marry the girl of her Sun family after knowing about their Sun family's family.
"Mmmm, I know my mother, and I won't confide in my father." Sun Rongrong listened to Mrs. Sun's advice into her heart, she was either very afraid of Sun Zhifu's father, and even more afraid that Sun Zhifu would tell the truth in public after she knew about it, so that her plan would be abandoned halfway.
Mrs. Sun touched her daughter's head lovingly, determined to help her daughter complete her wish, no matter what method she used!

The city gate was going, Guo Mianmian moved and stiffened, and said to Zheng Rin: "Get off the horse first, let's go over." ”
