Chapter 316: Lingering Thoughts

The main entrance of the small courtyard is clean, but the side door is lively, several families live here, and the merchant walks the streets and alleys every day, selling flowers, selling sugar and combing oil, and will never miss here.

Chen Rao's family also has a house here, her daughter is only two years older than Zheng Mianmian, and she is a girl with a lively personality from the village, Zheng Mianmian originally had some self-conscious identity, and then she couldn't help but come to the door with a smile on her face all day long, and became friends, often going out to play together.

Aunt Wan was a little worried, but when she heard the little girl who bought it back, the two of them just went to the market and bought some gadgets, and seeing that Zheng Mianmian's temperament became more and more cheerful, Aunt Wan was not restrained.

A few days ago, the daughter of the family came to the door with a red face, saying that she couldn't come to Zheng Mianmian these days, Zheng Mianmian thought something had happened, and asked a few more words, only to know that the family was married, and she wanted to embroider her own dowry, so naturally she couldn't go out as casually as before.

Aunt Wan's heart was also aroused by this marriage, wrapped a few good satins, a few good silk threads to send to her family, she sat by the door in a daze, the courtyard next door with the wind to the rich fragrance of osmanthus, along with the fragrance of her yard, but with the wind there are some vague disputes.

Aunt Wan subconsciously held her breath to listen, but she could only hear that it was two men talking, and the rest could not be heard clearly.

The surname of the family next door is Li, and it is also the gateway of the simple population, Aunt Wan has generally only seen a young man and an old servant couple and two small servants, and there is a meeting on weekdays, all of them are harmonious, but I don't know what kind of livelihood the family does, so this young man lives here alone.

His family loves flowers and plants very much, and most of the ginkgo leaves of a tree fell in her yard, and the next person came twice to say mercy and gave a jar of sugar osmanthus as an apology.

Aunt Wan was not there that day, and it was Zheng Mianmian who came back to the house, saying that she had borrowed the osmanthus fragrance from his yard, so there was no need to be so polite.

After all, it is an outsider, although she lives comfortably in Shuojing, but Aunt Wan also understands the truth that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and when she made osmanthus shortbread on her stove the next day, she sent the girl back.

The Li family was very polite, and sent a pot of lilies back, it seems that Aunt Wan didn't sleep well a few days ago, and when she asked the girl to buy pearl powder, the girl met with the old servant of the next door, and the two said a few words.

The sending and sending did not stop, and Aunt Wan stopped receiving the lily, but she also praised the young man for a few days, saying that he had a good heart, and his appearance was also clean.

How can such a good-hearted son have conflicts with others today?

The Li family was scattered, and they were not like Aunt Wan who entrusted the Kou family to protect them, so Aunt Wan was a little suspicious that he was being bullied, and when she got up and wanted to go to the wall to listen, the dispute had disappeared.

Aunt Wan hesitated to ask someone to greet her, and she felt that it was inappropriate as soon as the thought came out, and she asked to go to the door, wouldn't it become a voyeur? Where can such a thing be done!

At this time, a woman's crisp and bright voice came from outside the door, Zheng Mianmian came back with her own pot and the girl to make sweet porridge, and the carefree appearance of her eyebrows was now Zheng Mianmian's normal.

"Mother, finish eating sweet porridge. I don't think the lunch dish is to your liking, so I'll ask them to stew a duck in the evening, so let's have a bowl of it now. She said carefully, Aunt Wan felt very comfortable, and the things of others were forgotten for a while.

Suddenly, I heard a man's explosion outside the door, "You are still worthy of the surname Li?" Then there was another loud bang, as if the door plaque had been smashed.

The mother and daughter were both startled, Zheng Mianmian saw a carriage parked at the door of Li's house when she came back, and she was surprised that the Li family also had a visitor, but she didn't expect that this was not a guest, but an enemy who was urging her life!

The girl was a bold man with no heart, poked her head out to look, and reported the news to the mother and daughter while watching, "The door plaque has been cut off!" "The demon got into the carriage and left!" Yunyun.

Zheng Mianmian was afraid that she would not only hear her loud voice, so she pulled her back, and couldn't help but be curious and wanted to take a look.

This glance, but he just bumped into the main owner.

Brother Li bent down and picked up the door plaque that was broken in two, and when he raised his eyes, he was facing Zheng Mianmian, his expression was calm and sad, like a yellow leaf falling silently in the quiet autumn.

Different from Zheng Mianmian's bleak eyebrows, his eyes were like deep pools, and the Li family's brother nodded slightly to her, just ordering his subordinates to clean up the mess, and he didn't blame Zheng Mianmian for voyeurism at all.

Zheng Mianmian herself blushed, and couldn't help but scold the girl, "Call you troublesome, let people see it!" ”

The girl didn't take this scolding to heart at all, and said with great interest: "Sister, what do you say is going on?" Why did that person scold Brother Li for being cheap......

Zheng Mianmian covered the girl's mouth, her eyes widened, and she said, "Don't say it!" ”

The girl knew that this word was ugly, and quickly nodded.

"Alright, alright. Let's go to the kitchen and bring out the porridge. Aunt Wan heard the most private secrets of other people, and her heart was also very mixed.

Since that day, the door of the Li family has been closed, and when Zheng Mianmian and the girl went to the shop to inspect the business, they passed by the door, and only two lanterns without lamp oil were crumbling in the autumn wind.

Zheng Mianmian didn't know why, staring at the two lanterns every time.

When I got out of the alley today, I felt that the autumn wind was so strong that it blew people's cheeks cold, and the girl ran back to get her cloak, Zheng Mianmian took a few steps back, looking for a corner to shelter from the wind.

The two lanterns at the door of Li's house shook violently, Zheng Mianmian went to look at the lantern again, and this time the lantern fell down, and with a 'click' sound, it hit the ground, and the brittle paper skin also cracked several cracks.

Zheng Mianmian took a few steps forward, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the lantern, but before his hand touched the lantern, he saw the door of Li's house open, revealing a blue shirt.

Zheng Mianmian quickly retracted his hand, as if he had accidentally touched the edge of the hot pot, and hurriedly retreated, and said in a panic: "The lantern has fallen, I want to pick it up." ”

She panicked, stepped on the empty steps, and leaned back. Before she could exclaim, her wrist tightened again, and she was pulled back by a strong force.

Brother Li'er looked thin, but he also had the strength to do it, and Zheng Mianmian's face, which was originally blown cold by the wind, was already hot at some point.

She lowered her head and rubbed her wrist, always feeling that her finger strength was still there, and she always felt that the hand seemed to be still holding, Zheng Mianmian suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Sister." The girl ran over with her cloak heartlessly, and it was not strange to see the two standing together, but pointed to the lantern and said, "Huh? So the wind blows down? ”

"Yes, the buckle is broken." Brother Li's voice was very gentle, although Zheng Mianmian lowered his head, his voice was so close that he was wrapped in the autumn wind and pounced on his face.

"Let Alin and Ah Quan come out and get it!" The girl was chattering, not noticing Zheng Mianmian's shyness.

Brother Li seemed to laugh, laughing very softly, "The two of them went to find other livelihoods, and they didn't do it at my house." ”

"Huh?" The girl dragged out her voice in surprise.

Zheng Mianmian forgot to be shy, raised her head and looked at Brother Li, Brother Li also looked at her, his eyes were as calm as ever, he didn't feel ashamed, she dodged her eyes, and went up again.

The girl put the cloak on Zheng Mianmian, Zheng Mianmian tied it herself, and said softly: "But what are the difficulties at home?" ”

"It's not difficult, it's supposed to be that. I still have Uncle Li and Sister-in-law Li by my side, but I have to live a serious life in the future, and I can save it. ”

He said something vaguely, Zheng Mianmian thought about the rumors he heard, and bit his lip in embarrassment and didn't speak.

The girl said with a big grin: "Brother, you are a person who lives a life!" ”

This was said as if she was going to marry someone into the door, Zheng Mianmian hurriedly spoke, not to call the girl to say again, "Then I'll go first, you take care." ”

"You have to eat more in autumn, and you have to take care of yourself in winter."

Brother Li still had the heart to joke, Zheng Mianmian was amused, looked at him with a smile, and saw that he also bent his eyes, as if a pair of mandarin ducks had swam into a deep pool, disturbing a pool of water.

There are many girls who come out to do things in Shuojing City, and the sixth sister who is in charge and the account room is a woman, Zheng Mianmian sat down slightly after going to the shop, and called the sixth sister to come in and chat a few words, the business in the shop is not very good, but it is good if it is profitable.

The sixth sister is a local family in Shuojing, Zheng Changchang also sent a girl to her home to send a festival gift, and several sisters of her family have also come to visit, Zheng Mianmian and Aunt Wan are very relieved to her.

The girl went outside to buy the incense powder that Aunt Wan wanted, Zheng Mianmian waited for her in the shop, and when she came back, the two went home.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Aunt Wan holding a letter and talking to a maid under Chen Rao, Zheng Mianmian smiled and stuffed a box of incense powder to the maid, the girl sent the maid out, Zheng Mianmian said to Aunt Wan: "Sister is writing a letter?" ”

As she spoke, she was about to reach out to get the letter, but Aunt Wan didn't give her the letter as she had done the previous times, but covered it with her palm and said, "Go back to the room and comb your hair, what does the mess look like?" ”

Zheng Mianmian combed her fingers, and sure enough, she tied the knot, and she said coquettishly: "It's windy today!" ”

In the end, I still love beauty, so I forgot the letter and hurried back to the house to freshen up.

Aunt Wan waited for the girl to go in, and then opened Zheng Lingyi's letter to see, her last letter just mentioned Zheng Mianmian's marriage, how could Zheng Lingyi mention a few words in this letter, how can Zheng Mianmian see it?

Zheng Lingyi's letter asked in detail, asking Aunt Wan if she wanted a rich family or a future for her children?

If it is a wealthy family, pay attention not to pick up those unruly, if necessary, you still have to ask Chen Rao to inquire, just don't bother others, it is best to find a trustworthy matchmaker to find out the bottom first, and then ask Chen Rao to settle down.

If the child has a future, then pay attention to whether he is going to Beijing, if so, it will not work, although Zheng Mianmian and Aunt Wan have not shown up in front of people, but there is a risk.

This sentence was asked, and Aunt Wan was stunned.
