"Do you know the ruffian?"

Xiang asked in a cautious whisper.

"I don't know!"

Sun's emotions looked extremely tense, and together with the denial at this time, it was like an uncontrollable conditioned reflex because he was on guard.

She gradually calmed down, and found that she almost hit Xiang Yeqi, and hurriedly asked: "This ...... Did we just hit it? Does it still hurt? ”

"Don't worry, it's not."

Xiang Yeqi smiled bitterly, if she hadn't reacted quickly, maybe she would have really been slapped by Sun, it would be really unlucky from heaven.

"I'm not forcing you to say anything, it's just that if you have something embarrassing, just say it directly, maybe I can help." I'm scared if something like this happens again. Xiang Yeqi also had some unspeakable embarrassment.

If she doesn't ask, she will never be at ease, but if she asks, maybe her children and grandchildren will think more, thinking that they are threatening her.

Fortunately, after this little and a half month of getting along, the Sun family also believed in Xiang Yeqi's character, so he mysteriously pulled Xiang Yeqi over and showed horror on his face: "Yan'er, do you know, the secret marriage?" ”

Why is the secret marriage, Xiang Yeqi has indeed heard of it: "I have heard some rumors that some parents are worried that their children are too lonely to be alone under the Nine Springs, so they will ask someone to find the deceased of the same age and hold a secret marriage for the two. ”

"Have you ever heard of the marriage of the living to the dead?"

Sun calculated Xiang Ye's reaction—speechless from his astonishment at the incident.

"The Fu family is a big family in our town, and when people say that they have more than ten generations of single transmission, I really can't remember how many generations. But something happened in such a generation, the son of the Fu family was in his twenties, and before he got married, he met robbers on the way to Beijing to catch the exam, and when he was transported back to the town, he was almost unrecognizable. ”

Hearing her words, she still had some sympathy for the tragic death of the Fu family's son, but it was only sympathy from the neighbors.

"Originally, it was properly buried, and there were not so many things, but the master of the Fu family felt sorry for his son who was lonely, so he wanted to ask someone to marry him, but there were many men who died early, and most of the girls were just born, so they ...... "The Sun family turned around and didn't mention these, "If you can't match it, Master Fu will directly pay a lot of money to buy it, saying that he just wants to marry his son, whether he is dead or alive, it doesn't matter!" But in the whole town, I am the only girl of the right age, and Master Fu has made a lot of money, and it is clear that she is coming to my house! That's why my dad ......."

"Took the money from the Fu family and sold you to the Fu family?"

Xiang Yeqi dared to speculate, but saw Sun nodding, which obviously confirmed Xiang Yeqi's speculation that he didn't dare to think about it.

"If I am asked to be widowed, I will admit it, after all, I am not good to disobey my father's arrangement. But I listened to Master Fu's meaning, he wanted to strangle me, and then bury Fu Gongzi with him, so as not to attract discussion in the township, saying that they forced the living to be buried together, and when I heard that I was going to die, I didn't dare to make a decision. ”

Sun stroked her neck and lowered her head gloomily, as if there was an invisible rope around her neck, making her breathless.

"How dare I die, even if I can't escape in the future, I don't want to be strangled! I was scared for a moment, so I fled. Later, then I met your uncle, and if I were to be born from a dead man, I would have been married, but ...... I really don't dare to tell your uncle about it. What should I say about this kind of thing? What should he think? Maybe I shouldn't have walked around and given those people a chance. ”

Seeing that Sun blamed all the faults on himself, Xiang Yeqi had to accompany him silently, and comforted softly: "It's them who are wrong, it has nothing to do with you, the matter of secret marriage is very ridiculous!" If you don't want to talk about it, I don't know anything about today, so don't worry. ”

Xiang Yeqi naturally thought so, but the will of heaven may not fulfill his wishes.

Sun Shi took the first step to see Xiang Feng who was stopping outside the door, and stood up with a panicked face: "Husband? You, when did you come back? ”

Xiang Feng's face was solemn and faint: "I've been standing here since the beginning." ”

"Uncle, you misunderstood, you really misunderstood!" Xiang Yeqi hurriedly got up and began to lie for the Sun family, "My aunt is telling me about other people's affairs, but I asked too much and got my aunt in." My bad. ”

If you want to talk about this, Xiang Yeqi is still biased in favor of the Sun family, after all, no matter how good the impression Xiang Feng left on him, he can't change the reason why he came here - Xiang Feng invited himself to test Sun's personality.

"Don't make trouble, I'm not a fool. Whether it's a story or a real story, I know in my heart. ”

Xiang Feng walked around Xiang Yeqi in a serious manner, causing Xiang Yeqi to sigh in his heart, and was so frightened that Sun immediately knelt: "Husband, I didn't mean to hide it from you!" But I really don't have the face to talk about this kind of thing. Sun wiped two handfuls of tears with a panicked expression.

saw Xiang Feng sigh, supported the Sun who wanted to kneel, and looked worried: "This kind of thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?" If you had said it earlier, I would have helped you solve this farce earlier, so why bother you to bear these things alone, day and night. ”

This is a bit of a subversion of Xiang Yeqi's view of Xiang Feng.

Sun was still sobbing, but when she heard Xiang Feng's words, she cried even more sadly: "How can this kind of thing be easy to say to people!" I thought I'd hide it from you and everyone in the future. ”

"Blame me, blame me, it's me who doesn't care enough about you."

At the moment, only Xiang Feng and Xiang Yeqi could understand what he blamed himself, he felt that there was something strange about Sun, so he did not inquire about Sun's past experience, but asked Xiang Yeqi to test Sun's personality and test whether she was "upright". However, Sun was still afraid that he would be troubled by this matter, so in such a comparison, Xiang Feng didn't blame himself to the extreme.

He sighed again and hugged Sun into his arms: "I will ask someone to send more money to this Fu family tomorrow, so that they can return your marriage book and tokens, so that you can live a peaceful and stable life in the future, and don't be bothered by this matter anymore." If they don't agree, I'll give them a little more money, and there's always a way. Don't be afraid. ”

Xiang Yeqi suddenly felt that Xiang Feng had brought him because he was showing affection with the Sun family and lacked an audience.

Xiang Feng concentrated on wiping his tears for the Sun family, and after a long time, he, who was an uncle, remembered that there was still Xiang Yeqi standing aside, he coughed lightly with a little shame, and said: "Yan'er, I still have some things to discuss with your aunt, I don't know if it is inconvenient for you to go back to the second home, go and pick up Changheng back." This child is afraid of life, and if someone he doesn't know goes to pick him up, he will definitely make trouble. ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Xiang Yeqi didn't want to continue to watch these two show affection, so he happened to ask Old Madam Xiang about this matter, but he knew what was going on with the original owner's mother.

Where does her concern for this matter come from, even Xiang Yeqi herself can't figure it out, after all, this kind of thing of old sesame seeds and rotten grains is impossible for most people to be interested in, and it is not worth bothering Xiang Yeqi so much about the "commercial value" alone.

But Xiang Yeqi is really clear, and if she doesn't figure out the reason for this, she can't let it go.

It is probably that the original owner is also a little obsessed with this matter.

……

Xiang Yeqi's memory of Xiangfu's family is a little thin, although she also knows that it is not necessarily a bad thing to have a good relationship with these relatives of her family, but the miserable experience of just a few days in Xiangfu makes Xiang Yeqian really have no good impression of her "mother's family", so that it is slightly difficult to find the location of Xiangfu with her memory.

It was still up to the coachman to be familiar with the route in Beijing, so he successfully found Xiangfu.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is back!"

The little concierge rushed in, and the soles of his feet slipped accidentally, and immediately threw himself at the feet of the old lady, and almost kicked the old lady.

"What, let the dog chase this?" The old lady Xiang was about to be frightened out, so she naturally scolded this little guy, "Come back, come back, it's not a rare thing, look at what you said, it's like the enemy army is coming into the capital!" In vain, you are also my house slave to Xiangfu, and you are such an ignorant of the rules. ”

Earlier, Xiang Lao Madam might have really praised this little guy for delivering the message in a timely manner, but now, the relationship between her and Xiang Yeqi is different.

In the future, you still need to point to the night to live, how can you still be disgusted?

The little guy scratched the back of his head in shame and said, "The slave is, it's thinking about it...... Now Xiangfu, when the old lady is respected, of course, you should be the first to know about the return of the eldest lady. ”

"Count on your good words."

The old lady Xiang suddenly smiled, and no longer counted her, but hid her face and smiled, and asked, "The eldest lady didn't say anything, what did you do when you came back?" ”

But if you think about it carefully, her granddaughter's current style has always been different from others, and she may not really explain to the porter what she came about.

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Yeqi leaned out half of his body from the door, and smiled maliciously: "Grandmother, I came to see you, and I took Heng'er back by the way!" ”

Xiang sneered at the old lady and said angrily: "Night girl, I see what you said - I'm afraid that you just said the opposite, right?" ”

Xiang Yeqi smiled, and never answered the question of digging a pit to the old lady, seeing her perfunctory, the old lady Xiang also broke off the idea of chasing and asking, and brushed his sleeve and pointed to the chair not far in front of him: "Sit down, Heng'er is still sleeping." ”

This brought good "conditions" for asking the old lady from the night, and she sat down with great interest and first chatted with the old lady Xiang.

"Night girl, do you remember your unmarried sisters?"

Xiang Lao Lady suddenly mentioned such a stubble.

"Naturally, I remember."
