53. The man ran away

But things in this world are not necessarily possible if you want to do them.

Bai Fuli was very unconfident in the matter of taking the exam, and he sighed: "Grandmother, I have taken the exam twice, and both times I have lost my name to Sun Shan. Come to think of it, our Bai family really doesn't have the talent to read. ”

Xu turned his head and patted his son: "Don't say frustrating words, it's rare to hit it once." I look at those who study outside, and there are many who have passed the exam three or five times. ”

Bai Fuli wanted to say something, but Old Madam Bai simply played a bachelor's game: "In short, you don't have to worry about the affairs at home or the business outside." You just have to study, whether you are forty or eighty, in short, you have to give me at least a lifter. Otherwise, I just close my eyes and don't have the face to see your grandfather. ”

It's all about death, where does Bai Fuli dare to say anything. The Xu family and the Liu family were busy persuading the old lady not to say such things and make them sad as children and grandchildren.

Old Madam Bai said to Zhai: "You keep an eye on him for me, you must study honestly." ”

Zhai got up and said yes, sat back and glanced at her husband sympathetically.

Meng Qingyun looked at this little quarrel between his grandparents and grandchildren, and felt that it was funny and funny.

Xu said with a smile: "Yuan Niang is here this time, but you can stay for a few more days, otherwise the old lady doesn't know how long she will be talking in our ears." ”

Meng Qingyun leaned on Mrs. Bai mischievously: "Then I can say ugly things in front, as long as my grandmother doesn't bother me, I will live forever." Auntie, don't think I'm eating too much. ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Old Madam Bai nodded her nose: "Who did you learn to be so naughty?" ”

Xu said: "My brother-in-law has always been elegant and easy-going, in my opinion, I'm afraid it's like our sister, when she is at home, there are a lot of naughty things." ”

Old Madam Bai nodded again and again: "I think so, although my Hui'er is not strong enough, she has done naughty things since she was a child." ”

Meng Qingyun saw her face full of joy, obviously Xu mentioned her mother, very pleasing to the old man. As for whether her mother was really naughty when she was young, I'm afraid it doesn't matter.

However, as she spoke, Old Madam Bai became sad again, patted Meng Qingyun's hand and sighed.

"It's just a pity that she has a thin life in the end, so she went at a young age, leaving you as a child, and there is no one to rely on. But your father has an accident again......" When she said this, she wanted to wipe her tears again.

Everyone was gloomy.

Xu was afraid that Meng Qingyun would also be sad, so he persuaded: "We have to think about opening some too, don't we all say that we want to see people in life and corpses in death." Maybe the brother-in-law will be in trouble, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

Old Madam Bai also came to her senses and said to Meng Qingyun: "Yes, yes, since we haven't said that we have found your father's body, we can't say anything depressing first." ”

Liu's, Zhai's, Bai Xiuning, Bai Xiuqing, and Bai Fuli, everyone agreed.

Meng Qingyun's eyes swept over, knowing that they were all to comfort her, her heart was warm, and she cheered up and smiled: "Yes, I have hope in my heart, unless I see the corpse, I will never believe that my father will go like this." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Naturally, everyone wished she thought so.

"By the way, I don't know if the second uncle told my grandmother that my father's disaster was probably not an accident, but man-made, and it was very likely to be the disaster of our Meng's family."

Old Madam Bai nodded: "He said it." Your aunt is not a good person. That's why I wanted to pick you up, but you came first. Good boy, you won't be afraid of anything when you get here. ”

Meng Qingyun asked, "What about the people my uncle brought back?" ”

"Who?" Old Madam Bai looked unaware.

Meng Qingyun was a little strange: "It's just two subordinates in our house, a husband and wife." If the father was really killed, they were witnesses to it. Because I thought that staying in Yaxi, I was afraid that I would be searched out by my eldest lady, so I asked my uncle to bring it to She County. How? Didn't he tell you? ”

"Well...... this"

Old Madam Bai suddenly pretended to be confused. Looking at Xu, Liu and the others again, they also began to dodge their eyes.

Meng Qingyun was suspicious.

In the end, Bai Fuli opened his mouth: "This matter, we are not careful, I can't live with Yuan Niang." The second uncle did bring back that couple, and they have been locked up in the backyard, and we sent someone to take care of them. It's just that the night before, I don't know what they thought of, they actually wounded the guards and escaped. We later found out that after careful investigation, we found that the door of the house was not wrong, and it was probably escaped over the wall. ”

Meng Qingyun opened his mouth slightly, and forgot to close it for a while.

Old Madam Bai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we have already notified the county government, only saying that it was a fugitive slave who stole a lot of money at home, and asked the county government to send out a sea fishing document and draw an image to reward him." ”

Meng Qingyun came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this is also an accident." Originally, I asked my uncle for help, and I was tired of everyone's trouble. Na Hu Yigun was originally a soldier and fought, he has kung fu, knows some tricks, and is also cunning. The subordinates in the family are all ordinary people who are honest and honest, and it is inevitable that he will be in his way. The person who was injured was seriously injured? ”

Xu said: "I broke my head, I shed a lot of blood at the time, and I asked a doctor to see it, but fortunately, I didn't hit the point, and I will raise it for a few days." ”

Since Hu Yigun and his wife have run away, if they want to find someone again, it is naturally like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is not something that can be found in a day or two. The matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Mrs. Bai asked the Zhai family to take Meng Qingyun to see the residence first, and then asked the Xu family and Aunt Liu to Zhang Luo, and the lunch was placed in her Fukang Hall.

Meng Qingyun followed Zhai's to get up, Bai Xiuning and Bai Xiuqing also accompanied him, and walked around the garden by the way.

The accommodation arranged for Meng Qingyun is called Pujiayuan, it is a small courtyard with two entrances, not big or small, quite delicate and chic, there is a ginkgo tree in the yard, quite a few years, lush, in autumn it is about the scene of gold everywhere.

Bai Xiuqing took Meng Qingyun's arm: "Go out and turn left in this courtyard, it is my Jingshu Courtyard." A few steps further away, it is the big sister's Rose Courtyard. The three of us live close to each other, and it's very convenient to go back and forth. ”

Meng Qingyun was also very satisfied with this.

Everyone accompanied her to look inside and out of the courtyard, where is the bedroom, where is the living room, where is the study, all of them are properly arranged. Zhai asked if there was anything that needed to be added, and Meng Qingyun only said that he was already very thoughtful.

Asakusa, Bauhinia, and Xiu'er began to instruct the mother-in-law to place their luggage.

The four sisters-in-law sat down and talked for a while, and a maidservant came over to tell them that the meal had been set up at the Fukang Courtyard, and the ladies and girls were invited to come over.

So Zhai took Meng Qingyun, Bai Xiuning and Bai Xiuqing over.

When I entered the Fukang Courtyard, I saw a large round table in the hall, and Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Xu, Aunt Liu, and Bai Fuli were already in the house. Xu was holding a post in his hand and was talking to others, and everyone was a little beaming with joy on their faces.

Bai Xiuqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there any happy event?" ”

Xu raised the post in his hand and said with a smile: "The invitation that the Li family just sent over, please go to the new tasting banquet on the beginning of summer." ”

As soon as Bai Xiuqing heard the "Li family", he was excited for three points, and asked, "The Li family?" Which Li family? Could it be the Li family on Doosan Street? ”
