Chapter 233: Hiring an uninvited guest

Mingxiu shrunk her neck, smiled flatteringly at Ming's mother, and prepared to slip away, "I'm a little tired, I want to go to sleep for a while, mother, go back first." ”

made up her mind to teach her a lesson, where was Ming's mother so easy to leave?

Pulling Mingxiu and planning to say it again.

But at this time, Mingxiu had already run away without a trace, and lay down quickly, wrapping himself in the quilt, looking like he was tired and wanted to sleep well for a while, and he looked like he had no temper.

Pointing to her back, she couldn't say anything about her mother's anger, but she felt sorry for her daughter because she was really tired.

In the end, he didn't pull her up and beat her hard, rolled his eyes, and went back to rest.

She really has to take a good rest, every day she is told by Mingxiu like this, she feels that she has to live a few years shorter.

In just over seven days, the dowry was ready.

When he was hired, the villagers of Peony Village came out to watch.

It's the first time they've seen such a grand appointment.

Just the dowry on the outside already made them very red-eyed.

But there are those who secretly say sour things, and at this time, there is no one who dares to make trouble in front of the Ming family.

Father Ming was very aggrieved in his heart, but he still had to invite Xie Zhan in with a smiling face.

At the same time, the flowing water mat outside the courtyard was also opened, and all the peony villagers saw it and came up to have a meal lively.

Of course, the Ming family is not easy to offend, so the people who came more or less brought some casual gifts.

said that it was to add makeup to Mingxiu, but most of the gifts were grain cloth or something.

Only the village chief's family gave a pair of thick silver bracelets.

In Peony Village, this is already a very precious gift.

Some daughters' families are not as valuable as this silver bracelet when they get married.

Last time, because of Miao Zhuang's matter, Da Li had a little unpleasant trouble with Mingxiu, but at this time, she wanted to give such a generous gift, and her face was still dark.

Although these things will definitely not appear in Mingxiu's dowry in the end, they are more or less a little bit of the villagers' heart.

Ming's father thanked the villagers since he came out, and Ming's mother was also helping to entertain the guests, so Xie Zhan naturally couldn't be idle.

Only Mingxiu, in order to maintain the reserve of the bride, has been staying in the house and has not come out.

It stands to reason that Xie Zhan should not meet her at this time.

But if he didn't see Shang Mingxiu, Xie Zhan would definitely not be willing to leave like this.

Therefore, while people were not paying attention, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and went to the backyard.

When he turned his head and saw that there was no one, he didn't have to think about it to know what Xie Zhan had done.

Ming's mother twitched the corners of her mouth, when she didn't see it, Ming's father gritted his teeth with hatred, but what could it do?

In the backyard, Mingxiu was playing backgammon with the egret with nothing to do.

"It's going to be busy in front of you, and you're so leisurely."

Walking into the courtyard slowly, seeing Mingxiu playing chess, Xie Zhan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He didn't think that Mingxiu could play chess before, and Mingxiu never mentioned it, so he wouldn't be able to treat her as her.

After walking in, I realized that Mingxiu was not playing chess, as if he was playing with the egret.

In an instant, Xie Zhan extinguished his thoughts.

Holding his chin, Mingxiu shook his head and said: "I don't want to understand the joys and sorrows of people, I just think they are noisy." ”

didn't expect Mingxiu to say such a thing, Xie Zhan was stunned, this ...... The more you taste, the more meaningful.

He looked at Mingxiu with burning eyes, and every time he thought he knew her well enough, she would reveal a different and unpredictable side.

Mingxiu seems to have no rules, she is very arrogant and doesn't know the severity, but in fact, she never drops the chain at a critical moment.

At the same time, whenever he thinks that Mingxiu has not read a few books and can only read the account book, he can hear her seemingly rough words, but in fact they are endlessly evocative.

Even an old fox who has read a thousand sails may not be able to say such a thing.

She is transparent and good at people's hearts, but she never looks down on human nature.

Xie Zhan felt that he liked her more and more.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Like a hooligan.

Mingxiu frowned, looking at his gaze, she couldn't play chess anymore.

Throwing the chess pieces into the box, he turned his head to look at Huang Li, "Go and pour a cup of herbal tea, I'm very thirsty." ”

"You're on fire this autumn day?"

Looking at Mingxiu with concern on his face, Xie Zhan was a little anxious.

It's not good to get angry at this time, what if you have a pimple on your face before marriage?

He didn't care about Mingxiu's appearance, but they all said that getting married was the most important day in a woman's life, and if he faced it with a flawed face, he was worried that Mingxiu would be sad.

And......

Getting on fire is not good for Mingxiu's body either.

“…… Nothing. ”

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Mingxiu didn't explain much.

Huang Li came up with tea, put his hands in front of Mingxiu, and saw her drink it, so he served tea to Xie Zhan.

After he took it, Huang Li skillfully refilled Mingxiu's cup.

"Herbal tea quenches thirst, and when you are thirsty, you have to worry about hot tea."

At this time, people drink hot water, and only some people who are not so good will drink cold water.

It stands to reason that Mingxiu should always have hot water in front of him, and he should replace it when it is cold.

But who made Mingxiu not like hot water so much?

If it weren't for the fact that the ice was hard to get at this time, she would still want to drink ice water.

Seeing that she drank two cups, Xie Zhan realized that the herbal tea in her mouth was not the same thing as what he had in mind.

Looking at Mingxiu disapprovingly, Xie Zhan said: "Drinking cold tea is not good for the spleen and stomach, it is better to drink less in the future, if you don't like piping hot, warm water is the same." ”

I didn't want to argue with Xie Zhan about this, Mingxiu pouted, didn't speak, and seemed to have acquiesced.

Xie Zhan only regarded her as a default.

The two were chatting, and a little girl came outside, whispering in the ear of the egret, and the egret told Mingxiu that he knew.

"Miss Shu is here."

Looking at Xie Zhan meaningfully, Mingxiu's eyes were full of urgency.

But......

It doesn't look like joy in any way.

Even if it was Xie Zhan, a big man with rough nerves, he couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw Mingxiu's face.

"I don't know why she's here, your family won't post to her, right?"

"My house only has a flowing water seat, and I don't post it." Mingxiu lowered his eyes and put the teacup in Huang Li's hand, "Since everyone is here, there is no reason for us to avoid it, let's go." ”

As she spoke, she got up and took the coat handed over by Huang Li and put it on.

There are a lot of people outside, and Mingxiu can't always meet people in a sloppy manner, so with the help of Huang Li, he wore a slightly formal coat and added a few jewelry on his head.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Ignoring Xie Zhan's obstruction, Mingxiu followed the egret straight to the main courtyard.

"What kind of wind blew Miss Shu here?"

The left and right sides have turned their faces, Mingxiu didn't mean to give Shu Wenqi face, he looked at her with a smile, and listened to her attitude of welcome, but what it was, only a few people who were familiar with Mingxiu knew.
