Chapter 56 Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
If it weren't for Chen Jie'an, when he went downstairs, he had a hunch in his heart and wanted to look at the box on the second floor, it was estimated that he would be staggered with Ji Xiang.
"Xianggong!" Ji Xiang was still immersed in the surprise and excitement that he had actually sold a large order of five thousand taels, and when he saw Chen Jiean, he didn't care about it, and jumped up like a koala. She put her hands together and kissed her man loudly at the end.
In the past half a month, Ji Xiang's immovable kissing has greatly alleviated Chen Jiean's shyness, but in this kind of place, it is the first time to see his daughter-in-law. His cheeks were hot, his fair face was flushed, and the man rubbed his daughter-in-law's head.
"Come down first, and be seen what kind of body you are." That's right, Xianggong is a gentleman after all. After getting along for so long, Chen Jie'an doesn't look like a mountain man at all. If you get a little closer, you hide, but it's a bit like a mimosa.
Ji Xiang climbed down, and there was a slight sound in the bamboo basket. When I looked up and saw Chen Jiean's sweat, I instantly understood that my feelings were that my husband couldn't move himself.
She was well raised by Lingquan and raised a lot of stature. Especially this skin, the white is full of powder, although the facial features are not exquisite, but it can be regarded as a delicate flower.
It's a pity that this delicate flower has eaten a little heavier recently, and she has enough strength, carrying dozens of catties of bamboo baskets, and she is not struggling at all.
Chen Jie'an glanced at Ji Xiang and knew that she was thinking nonsense, "Go home, it's not too early." ”
Well, Ji Xiang nodded obediently.
On the way home, Ji Xiang told everything about today's experience, except for concealing that it was related to space.
"But...... What are you talking about how to do those things! Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, it's really not easy to explain.
Seeing that Huaguo is so superstitious, do you want to say which god sent it?
The little face was bitter, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. Ji Xiang waited for a while before he spoke. "Xianggong, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
Talking nonsense, she doesn't believe it herself, and she still expects Chen Xie to believe it? Sure enough, seeing Chen Jiean's eyes narrowing unconsciously, she was subconsciously afraid.
Fear and depression, like a dull night. This feeling is very familiar, as if I have been afraid of Xianggong before. As soon as Ji Xiang thought about it, that feeling disappeared.
Instead, there was expectation, Chen Jie'an didn't notice it, he just remembered Ji Xiang's Shinto tone, couldn't help but smile, and turned his head to avoid the dazzling sunlight.
"Hmm. Want to help? ”
Ji Xiang hurriedly shook his head, "Aren't you going to enter the mountain tomorrow?" No more trouble. "It's just right, tomorrow I persuade the Wang family to take Sister Wuyu to Jishitang to have a look. After all, her miracle doctor system is not as good as the old doctor, and Yun Xiang and Wan Niang are even better supported.
When I came back later today, Wang was a little anxious, so I went to the entrance of the village to wait. Seeing the two of them slowly, he couldn't help but clap his legs and shout.
Ji Xiang stood up, saw Wang waving, and immediately stretched out his arm and cheered a few times. The ox cart was moving slowly, and she jumped down at the right time, and ran directly to the side of the Wang family.
Chen Jie'an wanted to blame a few words, but he didn't say much in the end. "Mother, let's come up together."
"I'm not going back. You're coming back late, and Wu Yuyunxiang and I have eaten it. When I get back, I will take it in the pot myself, and the rice should still be hot. ”
It's not waiting for them, Ji Xiang flattened his mouth and was pulled off by Wang's arm. "The Dalin clan has come to our house."
What is she doing here, didn't she ask Zhou Caidie last time, and was she prevaricated?
She and Chen Xie An looked at each other, and then moved their gaze back, "Hasn't Caidie come back yet?" ”
"No, this big girl's family ran away from home, and there was no warning at all. Frightened, Da Lin cried several times, and has been asking in the village for the past two days if he has seen her. ”
This thing was indeed something Zhou Caidie did wrong, Ji Xiang pressed Wang's arm and leaned his head over. Wang touched her head and sighed: "If it's my daughter, I'll break my leg if I find it." Talking and laughing, what is Xiang'er afraid of. But you really don't know where the butterflies went? I remember looking for you before she disappeared. ”
At that time, the Wang family was going to Aunt Lian's house, and they didn't know about it. Chen Jie'an looked at Ji Xiang speechless, and then said, "Mother, it will be with Xiang'er to take medicine." Didn't I tell you everything? ”
Seeing that his son was a little impatient, Wang closed his mouth. "Okay, you go back quickly, I'll pick some locust flowers here. Wuyu has a bad appetite, but when you smell the sweetness of flowers, you can eat a lot more. It is a sin for a woman to be pregnant, especially for such a helpless ......"
Saying goodbye to the Wang family, Ji Xiang went to Ge Panni's house before returning to the courtyard. Her father was not there, Aunt Ge was sitting in the courtyard, and when she saw Ji Xiang, her eyes were white and she didn't see it.
"Aunt Ge, Fat Ni asked me to bring you a letter." Ji Xiang didn't care, said this, and saw Aunt Ge quickly stand up.
After saying everything Fat Ni said, he gave the pastries and silver money to Aunt Ge. Looking at the tears in her mother's eyes, Ji Xiang also sighed.
I don't know if my parents will miss me, probably not.
"My fat girl has lost weight, right? Alas, give me back the money, so much money is not kept for myself, what if I am hungry and cold. ”
Aunt Ge was still chattering, but Ji Xiang didn't bother.
She had to hurry back, her stomach was empty but tea, and she was grumbling with hunger.
……
"Sister Wuyu, thank you, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Ji Xiang stood at the door and heard a sweet cry. The familiar overlooked, pushed the door open, and all the people in the courtyard looked out.
Especially the crying woman, dressed in plain white clothes, her black hair was lifted to the side by the wind. The circles under his eyes were pitiful, and the pink handkerchief was being squeezed tightly in his hand.
Zhang Mingzhu? Why is she here, isn't she locked up and waiting to get married?
"Brother Chen...... I ......" Zhang Mingzhu's eyes stuck to Ji Xiang's back, Chen Xie An turned his head unhappily, whispered a few words to Ji Xiang, and then went out.
With a bang, the door was slammed shut again.
Ah Tao was carrying the burden and looked at her young lady worriedly. Even she could see that Chen Jie'an had no feelings for Zhang Mingzhu at all, and they were afraid that they would be blinded by being in someone else's house like this.
But Zhang Mingzhu didn't understand, she came here and knew that Lin Wuyu was temporarily living in Chen Jie'an's house, and she had long lost her mind.
She didn't believe it, she couldn't have a long-term relationship with Brother Chen with her beauty.
Lin Wuyu looked at Zhang Mingzhu's dejected appearance, thinking that she was afraid that Ji Xiang and Chen Jie'an would drive them out. "Mingzhu, don't worry, Xiang'er is very easy to get along with."
What does that mean? Ji Xiang instinctively resisted what Lin Wuyu said, this is a high hat, don't say whether to bring it or not, she doesn't know what is going on now.
glanced at Yunxiang, she was holding her late mother.
Seeing that he looked over, the impatience between his eyebrows was retracted, and he was originally quite close to Lin Wuyu, so he was unwilling to give even a little afterglow.
"Sister Wuyu, it's natural for Xiang'er to be good, but you can't be good at being bullied." Yun Xiang saw that Ji Xiang was about to speak, and hurriedly gave a look. Roughly speaking, Ji Xiang will not be allowed to come forward in this matter.
Someone gave himself a head, and Ji Xiang was also idle. Although I don't know the reason, when I saw Zhang Mingzhu coming over with a large bag, it is estimated that he escaped.
How dare she come here, isn't she afraid of telling herself?
There are doubts, but more anger is at Lin Wuyu. Helping her like this, she really treats her like a family, and after living for so many years, even if she is not shrewd, she will not be stupid.
Zhang Mingzhu's appearance is obviously that he has taken a fancy to his husband, and with that foolish look, he can't wait to eat Chen Jiean. Besides, Zhang Mingzhu is an unmarried woman, who lives here, and there is only Chen Jie'an in the family, and it doesn't seem like a word at all.
In this way, she still didn't believe that Lin Wuyu couldn't think of it.
Ji Xiang is full of disappointment now, so looking at Yun Xiang and Lin Wuyu, he is still a little happy in his heart.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Wuyu was very happy to see Zhang Mingzhu, and now that she has an accident, she also wants to help if she can. After all, Zhang Mingzhu also helped himself at the beginning, "Xiang'er, do you think so too?" Do you think I'm pushing you and bullying you? ”
She was already pregnant, and as soon as her emotions got out of control, she cried and cried. Ji Xiang couldn't bear it, but his face was cold and expressionless. Especially Zhang Mingzhu, she didn't want to see her as soon as she saw her. Seriously, if she was asked to choose one of Zhao Erhua and Zhang Mingzhu to be a plastic sister flower, she would like Zhao Erhua even more.
Zhao Erhua is stupid on the surface, and he can expose his purpose with one mouth. Zhang Mingzhu's true face is hidden layer after layer, and behind the gentle and empathetic is the poisonous scorpion's heart.
After all, Yun Xiang had also been with Lin Wuyu for a while, and knew that she didn't really ask, "I'll take what I said, what do you do to Xiang'er." Sister Wuyu, after all, this is the Chen family, not an inn, and not everyone can take it in. ”
After that, she looked Zhang Mingzhu's master and servant up and down, saw that their faces were like vegetables, and motioned to the late mother to go over to Lin Wuyu's side.
"Auntie, I want to sleep, let's go back to the house." Lin Wuyu doted on her late mother very much, and she would hear the soft and soft voice of the child, but she stopped her tears. Before leading the late mother back to the house, she pouted at Ji Xiang and was angry, how could she become a child when she was pregnant, Sister Wuyu was the most stable in the past.
When the backer is gone, Zhang Mingzhu can only fight alone. She originally disdained to ignore Ji Xiang and Yun Xiang, but she couldn't ignore it.
"Sister ......"
But before the words could be spoken, Yun Xiang had already gone over to hold Ji Xiang's hand. "When you come back at this time, the rice in the pot is still hot. Look at my brain, you quickly put your things away, wash your hands, and then call Chen Xie to eat. ”
She glanced at Zhang Mingzhu again, holding the shelf, "By the way, Miss Zhang, I remember that you don't seem to have eaten either." However, I've only kept food for two people, so if you don't mind, save it for a light meal in the evening. ”
Before Ji Xiang could figure out Zhang Mingzhu's emotions, he was pulled into the house by Yun Xiang.
I went to the bathroom to clean my hands, and when I came out, I saw the mysterious Yunxiang God. Curious, the woman glared at herself.
"You elm head, people come to rob your father-in-law, how can you be calmer than me." Who said she wasn't in a hurry, but she believed in Chen Jie'an.
She took Yun Xiang's hand and said affectionately: "Isn't this Sister Yun Xiang, what am I afraid of!" ”
Yun Xiang clicked on Ji Xiang's brain melon and suddenly sighed. "Sister Wuyu, she is a little overstepping, but don't blame her. You must know that she is very idle at home every day, and your mother protects her everywhere and does not let her do some work. I have to take care of my late mother and do embroidery work. Not to mention you, she doesn't even have a person to talk to. ”
is also, so when I see Zhang Mingzhu coming, I will be happy.
"I know. But I see that Sister Wuyu is crying so sadly, will she listen to your words? ”
She was a little worried.
"I'll go and apologize to her later, and now it's the one in the yard that is the priority. I can tell you, your mother seems to have a little like her. When chatting, this Miss Zhang didn't know how enthusiastic she was. ”
Ji Xiang nodded hurriedly, so that she would not let her rival ruin her home.
……
"Are you Miss Zhou Caidie?"
Zhou Caidie opened the door and wiped her hands, there were a lot of clothes washed in the past few days, and it was inevitable that the bubbles were swollen.
I saw a thin young man standing at the door, his clothes were old, but they were very clean and tidy.
"I am, is there something looking for me?" Could it be that something happened to Zhou Yu, or was Fat Ni bullied in Mengfu?
The boy blushed and bowed his head at the woman's gaze, then took out another letter from his bosom. "This is what a girl named Ji Xiang asked me to give you, saying that it is extremely important."
Ji Xiang, haven't you seen this before, what kind of letter do you send.
Zhou Caidie accepted it in disbelief, and then called the young man to take out the food he had made this morning from the house. "I don't have any money, but I made it with my own hands, so I took it back and ate it."
Seeing that the young man was at a loss to take it, he ran away with a blush ear, and Zhou Caidie closed the door with a smile.
Not far away, a dark shadow in the corner of the wall also left.
