Chapter 63: Chapter 14
Li Da Tobacco Bag has been happy every day these days, and he saw a gentleman who would respect a little bit on weekdays, but at this moment he was even more overjoyed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sir!" What are you talking about? We're here for you and Apricot for the rest of your life! β
Even if he was as calm as a ruler, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Little apricot? β
"What's wrong! Uncle, I will entrust Xiao Xing'er to you in the future! β
"I don't know what you mean."
Everyone thought that Mr. was a scholar, and they couldn't help but be a little more surprised about the marriage, but looking at Mr. Cold's appearance, they couldn't help but mutter, Li Da Tobacco Bag was anxious, and pulled Mrs. Ma forward and said: "Auntie, you are a witness, what is going on?" β
Qi Su Fang recalled what Mrs. Ma said when she came to the door and told him that day: "Child, how old are you this year?" β
"One in twenty."
"Is there a wife room in the house?"
"Alone, without a wife."
"In such a year... Light... How can there be no wife's room? β
Qi Su paused: "Because there are many affairs at home and he is busy with official business, Qi Su doesn't plan to ......."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, !!" Mrs. Ma suddenly coughed violently, she had been suffering from tuberculosis and was recuperating at home, and Qi Su often came and went back and forth to treat her. If it weren't for the purpose of finding a lover for Mr. this time, Mrs. Ma would not have dragged her sick body and came to the door in person.
"You wait here for a moment, and I'll get you some medicine." Although Qi Su didn't know what the old lady meant by asking around, he came to him for treatment when she was unwell, and the old lady coughed badly, but she didn't forget the purpose of her coming today, and said intermittently: "The Ma family is a little apricot ...... Very good...... Do you want it, ahem, ahem!! β
"Do you say almonds? I really don't have enough here, if you have it, it would be good. He has been taking care of his mother who has been coughing and asthma, whispering for several years, and has some experience in treating this disease, although almonds are cold, but their asthma is curative, and the apricot trees in the village are planted all over the mountains, he has hoarded some, but now he has used them up.
"Yes...... The little apricot of the Ma family, I watched it grow up, and it was called a handsome ...... Ahem!! What do you think? β
"Uncle Ma's family has apricots? In that case, I will go and get it now, will it be too late? β
"You're okay?"
"If Uncle Ma's family is willing to give it, I will go and get it now."
"No, no, if you want to marry, why are you in a hurry?" Mrs. Ma didn't expect her husband to agree so happily, she couldn't close her mouth, and she even forgot to cough happily: "I'll go back to Ma Erxiangzi first, although he is a picker, but he holds his baby apricot in the palm of his hand, if you want to marry her, he must be fully prepared...... Don't be busy, prepare for the next few days, and we'll come back someday! β
Said to go back, although Qi Su was confused, I don't know why, but still respectfully sent the old man out of the door, these days to buy a few bags of dried almonds in the market, then grind herbs at home, until today by these people in the village to inexplicably find the door.
After listening to Mr. unhurriedly restore the conversation at the time, several people finally thundered down and became clear, Mrs. Ma failed to convey the matter clearly, which made Mr. misunderstood. I didn't know what to say for a while. Xiao Xing'er will tie the knot with Mr., these days the village is boiling, Mr. in the village status is not ordinary, the village is still thinking about a big happy event, to have a good live, has long been prepared. Now who knows that this thing has fundamentally gone wrong, making a red face and white face, the most aggrieved is the Ma Da cigarette pouch family, Xiao Xinger is twenty-eight years old, Qi Su is old, if this oolong is publicized, what will be the reputation of Xiao Xing'er as a yellow flower girl? The consequences are irreversible.
A few people gathered together, Mrs. Ma wiped her tears anxiously, and these simple villagers didn't know how to explain this matter to other villagers and Xiao Xing'er, the poor child was still immersed in the joy of being married, if she told Xiao Xing'er, the girl was thin-skinned, if she couldn't think about it, something went wrong, then the lifeblood of his big cigarette pouch would be broken. After thinking about it, although Ma Da Tobacco Bag has always respected Mr., he can't bear to embarrass Mr. But when things come to this irreparable sake, he can only make mistakes, his eyes are closed, his heart is horizontal, and he knelt down to Qi Su with a plop, and when he raised his head, he was already sobbing: "Sir! I've never begged anyone else in my life, sir, I really admire you, you should have saved the lives of our family, let my little apricot serve my son! β
Qi Su couldn't understand his approach, so he arched over to help: "Uncle Ma, you must not torture Qi so much!" β
"If Mr. doesn't agree, my third horse will kneel here and not get up! If the girl in my family knows about this, you will let her ...... in the future How can I survive in the future? β
Ma Da Tobacco Bag stubbornly refused to get up, and Mrs. Ma on the side was also on crutches, trembling and kneeling down to him, Qi Su was quick to move, and held the old lady, Mrs. Ma couldn't help the old tears, and grabbed Qi Su's shoulders tightly: "Sir, it's all my fault!" It's all my fault! β
Qi Su's hand held Mrs. Ma's arm tightly, feeling her hand trembling, and on the other side there was a person kneeling who refused to get up, the villagers saw that Mr. was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, looking at each other, Qi Su was silent for a long time, sighed deeply and said: "Auntie, Uncle Ma, the second old man should hurry up first!" I can't afford to accept such a big gift, this matter is too sudden, please give the ruler a little time. β
Half pleading and half coaxing, finally the two old people were helped up, and the villagers discussed the matter today is not a way, before Mr. did not reveal the meaning, he had to think of a way to fool other uninformed children, so on the grounds that Mr. was sick in bed recently and could not see people, he helped the two parties with a long and short sigh, and went home first.
As the second son of the Sima family, there have been many princes and ministers who want to marry the Sima family since he was a child, and he also had a fiancΓ©e who was married to the fingertips, and his fiancΓ©e did not live to the age of the family, he died of a serious illness, at that time his mother also died not long after, and his blood and flesh and blood depended on the two people died one after another, the world could not help but have more suspicions about him, his father also invited the Taoist to see him, the Taoist said that he was bone-blessed, lest he live a lifetime. This sentence is a prophecy, in the end, he buried Sima's family with his own hands, and he was the only one left in the world.
It never occurred to him to find someone to spend his life with.
