Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Marriage Contract

It was drizzling and the long stone steps were covered with moss, giving off a fresh and moist smell. Walking up this stone staircase, it is the Hongguang Temple where the incense has been quite strong in the past two years. The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, especially when the specific season is close, there are especially more believers who come to the temple to ask for signs and worship the Buddha. In the morning, the skirt was still covered with long steps, and in the late afternoon, only a few people walked slowly down.

Because the stone steps are long, there are often pavilions on both sides to rest, and if you go to a remote place, you can see the old road before the reroute, which is hidden by the grass. There were a few old pavilions that were dilapidated and almost completely faded, looming in the depths of the vegetation, a place where no one would set foot without an excuse.

The woman led a little girl with braided hair and a basket on her shoulder. She was smiling, presumably asking for a good sign in the temple, and getting a good omen of good health.

The little girl was held by her mother's hand and asked in a jumping manner: "Mother, thank you for the rain, what does it mean?" ”

The woman herself didn't know a few big words, but she remembered what the master said when she gave her a sign, and according to her own understanding, she said with a straight face: "It's a time of drought, and God just happened to give us rain, it's the ...... It's a good sign to run when it's coming. ”

The little girl bit her fingernails and asked, "Why is it raining when our family doesn't farm?" ”

The phrase "can only be understood but not spoken" is not only available for mysterious things, but also for an illiterate woman who is blind and blind, and it is very practical, and it is more parental than "children care so much". But it's a pity that the woman didn't even store this sentence in her head, she almost realized the phrase "can only be understood but not spoken", and she couldn't pass it on, so she had to pat the little girl's hand in her mouth melancholy, and said fiercely: "It's very dirty! ”

The little girl forgot about the problem by this beating, licked the corners of her sweaty mouth and looked around, and suddenly said, "Mother......"

"Mother, look, where is there a person."

The woman looked at the place where the little girl's finger had passed. I saw a person slowly walking out of the unkempt grass that grew to half a man's height. As she got closer, the woman recognized it as a young woman's house, with unkempt hair, sloppy steps, and stumbling as if she were about to fall at any moment.

"Oops!" The woman suddenly reached out and covered the little girl's eyes.

The woman also stopped.

Her shirt was torn, her coat slipped down, revealing her bare shoulders, and she seemed to feel it at all, barely able to open her eyes, and her arms stretched out blankly.

The woman felt that it was immoral, and subconsciously grabbed her daughter to hurry away, and then there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and the woman looked back to see that it was two men who were walking towards this side unconsciously.

The woman scolded, "Close your eyes!" ”

Then he grabbed the cloth from his basket and draped it over the woman, pushing her into the gazebo by the side of the road.

"Where's your father?" The woman asked again and again, "Why did the girl's family come out like this and disgrace your family's face!" ”

The woman looked at her blankly, and after half a sound, she said tremblingly, "Help......"

"Help me."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"I promised to come to you today to make this clear."

In the box at the height of the Manxiang Building, in the red bead curtain, all kinds of dishes were sent up like flowing water, until the last lotus leaf sorbet was served, Lin Xiarong said: "You are not allowed to come in again without being ordered." He took a bite of a bowl of sweet sorbet.

Zou Shiyun looked at the straight toothache and said, "What time is it, doesn't Miss Lin feel icy?" ”

Lin Xiarong snorted and took a big bite to express his disdain for Zou Shiyun's speech.

"I'm down to business." Lin Xiarong put down the bowl, stared at Zou Shiyun and said, "Zhang Huan is definitely not the kind of person who does things outside behind my back, Chen Die is slandering him!" I want you to clarify the facts for Zhang Huan and return him to his innocence. ”

I don't know if it's because of Zou Shiyun's personality, or if he has some personal relationship with Lin Xiarong, Zou Shiyun is not afraid of Lin Xiarong's nonsense, and said with a sigh: "How do you know that he won't?" There are more men out hunting wild food. ”

"How?" Lin Xiarong said-for-tat: "What Shaoqing means is that if you marry Shaoqing in the future, will you also go outside to do this kind of thing?" Don't forget that the punishment for the officials who sleep in the willows is not clear. ”

Zou Shiyun glanced at Zhang Pu, who was eating quite happily next to him, and he also took a chopstick crispy meat, and said with a smile: "I can't marry a person like me who never sleeps and sleeps in willows, Miss Lin, although what I just said is not to be heard, but Chen Die has her own testimony to herself, and she also has the words and deeds of the Chen family before, and it makes sense in terms of the motive for committing the crime." Miss Lin also needs to come up with evidence. Where is the reason for rehabilitating people suddenly? ”

"I can testify against him!" Lin Xiarong was very excited: "I know him, he is by no means that kind of person." ”

Zou Shiyun shook his head: "There is no evidence. ”

"Miss Lin," Chen Tongsheng, who had never moved his chopsticks on the side, suddenly said, "Do you know Zhang, Zhang Huan's son, why he is addicted to Feiguang?" ”

Lin Xiarong was asked for a moment and said, "How did I know that there was such a thing......

"Since Lin, Miss Lin is right, Zhang Gongzi eats Feiguangdu, I don't know, how can I guarantee him?"

Lin Xiarong reacted to Chen Tongsheng's question about her meaning, and suddenly said angrily: "Who can guarantee that he is willing to eat?!" Was he forced? ”

For her kind of tricky defense, Zou Shiyun didn't want to continue arguing with her, and served herself a bowl of soup, and said slowly: "Xia Rong, ......"

"Don't call it that! Are you doing the opposite? Lin Xiarong suddenly exploded, and spit out two idioms regardless of the context in shock: "You are bold to commit a crime!" ”

Zou Shiyun smiled so that the corners of his eyes wrinkled, he looked very hearty, and lowered his head slightly to drink the soup.

"In short, you have to do this matter for me, and if you don't do it, you have to do it for me, Chen Die unjustly killed Zhang Huan, and she will die without forgiveness." Lin Xiarong said: "If you can't do it, you just wait for me to take off my official uniform and leave, Zou Shaoqing!" ”

With an angry face, she got up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Chen Tongsheng followed and got up, but was stopped by Zou Shi stretching out his hand: "Hey, what are you going to follow, you haven't eaten anything." ”

"I ate it, ravioli." Chen Tongsheng said: "It's not good to continue eating. ”

She was a little more euphemistic because of the inconvenience of her tongue, which actually meant, why do you still sit here and eat such a big face when everyone is gone?

Zou Shiyun shook his head incomprehensibly: "Don't worry," he drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, only to see the bead curtain open and enter the third junior in the restaurant.

Two of them were carrying a medium-sized food box, and when they came in and saw the three people still sitting, they were stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Miss Lin told us to wrap up the leftovers......

The table was full of dishes that hadn't been touched much, and Zou Shiyun followed his words and asked, "What are you going to do with these leftovers?" ”

Xiao Er didn't recognize Zou Shiyun, but people were used to observing words and feelings, and knew that Lin Xiarong went out with anger, not to mention that generally speaking, no host would leave the table halfway, and then ask someone to clean up the dishes that had just been served.

It's obviously driving people away and saving their face.

Lin Xiarong was obviously still standing outside, and when he heard Zou Shiyun's question, his voice was not loud, but it happened to be heard by the people inside: "Tell him the truth!" ”

Xiao Er recognized it, and was very unfamiliar with the particularly beautiful and dazzling woman next to Zou Shiyun, not like a person with status, so he said truthfully: "Miss Lin said, take it to feed the dog." ”

Feed the dogs and don't let you eat.

Lin Xiarong snorted, and then left with a satisfied step.

Zou Shiyun didn't laugh angrily, stretched out his hands to Xiao Eryi, and motioned for them to take care of themselves.

Chen Tongsheng felt really strange, so he asked: "Zou Shaoqing, ...... with Miss Lin"

"I'm too open-mouthed with her, am I?" Zou Shiyun leaned back with a big grin, and said brightly: "Don't hide it from Miss Chen, when I was my father, the Zou family was still powerful, and it was I who had a marriage contract with Lin Xiarong at that time." ”

Yes, Chen Tongsheng suddenly reacted, don't look at Zou Shiyun with a babbling scribe all day long, the two of them are poor and white, and they are single-mindedly climbing up, Zou Shiyun was originally quite well-born. The Zou family also has the same long family history as the Lin family, the only difference is that the Lin family can still be maintained today, but the Zou family only has its former glorious name.

With a "pop", a half-gnawed goose leg fell back into the bowl, and Zhang Pu's oily hand froze in the air, and he was stunned with his mouth open.

couldn't see Zou Shiyun's emotions about this, he stood up calmly and said to Chen Tongsheng: "Then let's change places." ”

As soon as he took two steps, Zhang Pu behind him suddenly snorted, almost scaring Zou Shiyun.

"It turns out that you have also suffered from the divorce of the arrogant and arrogant eldest lady, Shaoqing! I understand Shaoqing! I understand you, Shaoqing! No wonder you are usually a wooden head who is not open to girls, it turns out that you have been hurt, Shaoqing! ”

Through this sentence, it can be imagined that Zhang Pu has made up for the down-and-out son who was forced to withdraw from the marriage and suffered a lot of humiliation, and finally became a Dali Siqing but went around and met a very unreasonable divorce object, not only to deal with the bad things of his fiancΓ©, but also to humiliate the family in the restaurant.

Although in the end, Lin Xiarong also made his mouth angry.

Based on years of experience in reading scripts, Chen Tongsheng also successfully realized Zhang Pu's brain-making plot, and his mood suddenly became complicated.

Every time he said a word, a green tendon appeared on Zou Shiyun's forehead, and finally when Zhang Pu rushed over to express his relief to his boss as if he was crying, Zou Shiyun grabbed a clean dish on the table and slapped it on his face.

"I understand, I understand." Zhang Pu had a big red mark on his face, and said with tears in his eyes: "Be quiet in the face of other people's sadness, and soothe the hearts of the injured with silent actions." ”

Zou Shiyun couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, "You know a fart!" ”

He pointed at Zhang Pu viciously: "Give me another nonsense, and you will get out!" ”

Zhang Pu immediately closed his mouth, and after a while, he couldn't help it, and then asked, "What kind of rolling Shaoqing is it?" Go back to your hometown after paying the money, or go back to Dali Temple to wash your clothes for Shaoqing? ”

Zou Shiyun had frost on his face and said, "Get out." ”
