Chapter 174: Apology

Peony's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to scold, "Nonsense! The Shen family's housewife is famously spicy, how can she have a good life under her? I am a concubine and a concubine of the Fang family, as long as I enter the door first and am pregnant with the heirs of the Fang family, even if the Fang family marries a wife in the future, I will not be able to step on my head! ”

The little maid's eyes lit up when she heard this, but thinking about the situation of their master and servant, she retorted in a low voice, "The girl's plan is good, but... Fang Gongzi hadn't come to the door for months. How can the girl find him and let him come forward to buy her out? ”

Peony's subordinates tore the handkerchief, carefully calculated for a long time, and finally took a few pieces of broken silver at the bottom of the makeup box and handed it to the little maid, and instructed, "You take this silver to find the descendants of Baiyunju or Nian Enyuan, find out Fang Gongzi's recent whereabouts, and the most important thing is to ask which woman he has a close relationship with?" If there's any news, come back and let me know. ”

"Yes, girl." The little maid took the money and ran all the way to the vicinity of Baiyunju. At this hour, the restaurant is brightly lit, full of friends, diners are staggered, and the young men are so busy that they can't wait to grow four hands, so how can they have time to pay attention to other things.

The little maid stayed for half an hour, but she didn't catch an idler to inquire about the news, and finally had no choice but to go around Nian'en Garden again. This time she was lucky, and the most mischievous southeast wind on a summer night managed to blow out a lantern in front of the garden.

A porter was kicked out by several brothers who were surrounding to push pai gow to rekindle the fire, but one of them became unsteady under his feet and almost fell off the ladder. The little maid stepped forward to help her when she saw the opportunity, and after the young man landed safely, she naturally thanked her gratefully.

The two talked about it, and the little girl stuffed another two taels of broken silver, and soon asked for the news she wanted.

Peony got the little maid's report, and the two beautiful thin eyebrows were twisted together, and after many calculations for half the night, he began to act secretly on the second day.

didn't mention how the peony master and servant acted, just said that Fang Jie got up early and took the carriage, and went to the street to buy some food that children love, and then blew the cool morning breeze all the way out of the city.

By the time we arrived outside Nangou Village, the sun had already climbed into the air. In the vegetable fields of the Zhang and Liu families, there were five or six juniors helping to carry water and water the vegetables, Chun Nier took a big teapot, took a few large bowls of peach blossom shanzi, and sent a bowl of mung bean soup to the juniors one by one.

As soon as Fang Jie jumped out of the carriage, the two child laborers immediately went on strike, trotted over and giggled and hugged his arm, with a look of flattery and anticipation. Fang Jie pulled his sleeves and wiped the sweat beads on their heads for them, and then took all kinds of gadgets and food out of the car, and the two children jumped and jumped with joy.

The descendants in the field were all envious when they saw it, and shouted loudly, "Brother Fang is eccentric, only Shanzi and Peach Blossom are delicious, we can't even get a quick snack?" When we see Sister-in-law Pucao later, we will persuade her to sell the vegetables to other restaurants. ”

Fang Jie led the two children to him and laughed heartily, "I knew you were going to say that, there was a pork leg in the car, and I asked Pucao to stew braised pork for you at night, this is all right?" ”

"Oh, great, there was braised pork to eat in the evening."

The younger generations cheered, laughing and shouting that they would not eat at noon, and that they would have a good stomach at night.

Fang Jie looked around and couldn't see the shadow of Pucao, so he turned to look at Chunni. Chunni understood and said, "Young Master Fang, those bean racks in the north were blown crooked by the wind last night, and Pucao and Shengzi are in order, you can also go and take a look, I don't know if it will delay tomorrow's harvest." ”

Fang Jie nodded and answered and searched all the way along the ridges, and sure enough, when he bypassed the cucumber racks, he saw the grass wearing a big straw hat. She was helping to hold the shelf, and Liu Housheng and Dong Si took the hemp rope and tied it up.

When the three of them saw Fang Jie coming, Liu Housheng and Dong Si laughed and joked that he went into the city to hide last night. Fang Jie was not angry, and after a few words of greeting with them, he mentioned that he would pick vegetables tomorrow and send them directly to the city in the evening.

Dong Si is a discerning person, and when he heard him mention business, he excused himself to be thirsty, and pulled Liu Housheng back to drink mung bean soup.

With no outsiders present, and cucumber racks and bean racks to cover them, Fang Jie squeezed to Pucao with a smile and whispered, "Are you tired?" Sit down and take a break. ”

Pu Cao turned his head away and ignored him, and his subordinates continued to be busy. Originally, she was only a little annoyed yesterday, and after that sour feeling in her heart, she became proud again.

After all, there are women who are so obsessed with her men, which is also a recognition of her vision. If there is no woman in the world who likes Fang Jie except her, she may have to wonder if she is mistaking brass for real gold.

After thinking about it like this, at dinner, she deliberately made a few good dishes and sent them to Fang's house, but it turned out to be flattering at the blind man - in vain, Fang Jie didn't come back at all.

This night, she burned herself as a dough cake while lying on the kang, turning it over and over, wondering for a while whether Fang Jie really took that "cousin" to elope, and for a while she secretly cheered herself up, to believe in the relationship between the two of them.

After tossing so much that the sky was already white, she barely slept for a while, and when she woke up again, two dark circles under her eyes were clearly hanging on her face.

Chun Nier didn't know the inside story, and thought that she missed Fang Jie, so she joked in private, "You are a little reserved, Fang Gongzi has only been in the city for one night, and you want to be like this." If he goes out to do business one day, there will be no more Wangfu stones at the entrance of our village. ”

Pu Cao naturally could only smile bitterly, and did not dare to reveal half a sentence to this grumpy pregnant woman.

At this time, Fang Jie came back, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground, so she knocked over the vinegar bucket again, and asked sourly, "Yo, why did Fang Gongzi come back, I remember that you didn't elope away with your cousin?" Could it be that my cousin regretted it halfway, and you came back to me to relieve your boredom? ”

"What are you talking about?" Fang Jie was angry and funny, stepped forward and pulled off the hemp rope in her hand, pulled her to sit in the shadow under the bean rack, explained the matter carefully, and said at the end, "Aunt is now the housewife of the Sun family, and I was afraid that she would be affected so that I sent Jiaofeng back." If I had the heart to marry Jiaofeng, maybe now the children could be called Daddy. I really don't have her in my heart, only you! ”

Pu Cao's face softened a lot when he heard him say this, but he still said angrily, "Then why didn't you come back last night?" It's just a matter of sending people back, do you want to stay in someone for one night to show your innocence? ”

Fang Jie loved her so delicately, and took her in his arms and smiled happily and proudly, "Yesterday it happened too suddenly, I'm afraid you will be annoyed." Last night, I searched the whole city to find you a gift to make amends. ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, maybe I'm going to find a confidante to drink and have fun." Pu Cao's heart was completely discouraged, but he still refused to give in.

Fang Jie took out the small wooden box in his sleeve pocket, stuffed it into her hand, and said flatteringly, "Look, this thing must be to your liking." ”

Pu Cao thought it was another jade pendant, bracelet and other jewelry, but when he opened the box casually, he immediately exclaimed, "This is... Wristwatch! ”

Suddenly seeing the things commonly used in his previous life, Pu Cao was a little incoherent, "Where did you buy it, are there foreigners here?" How did they get here? What is the name of their king? ”

Fang Jie was a little dazed by her barrage of questions, and couldn't help but reach out and pat her back with amusement and comfort, "If you have something to say slowly, why are you in such a hurry?" Also, how do you know this overseas thing, and you know that the name is a watch? I've been traveling from south to north for many years, and this is the first time I've seen this object. ”

Pu Cao took out the silver watch early at this time, skillfully wound it, moved the hands, and saw the mechanical watch move around, and her eyes were red with joy. It's like a wandering child who suddenly gets a piece of pie made by her mother, and what she cares about is not the value of the object, but the familiarity.

"Thank you, I love this gift so much."

Fang Jie saw his beloved woman's tears crackling and falling, so distressed that he hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her, frowned, and said, "I regret looking for this object, I originally wanted to please you, why did I provoke you to shed tears?" ”

Pu Cao's subordinates rubbed the glass dial, relaxed and leaned on his arms, his eyes looking at the blue sky above his head, and he was immersed in the longing for his hometown in his previous life...

Fang Jie wrapped his arms around her, and suddenly became a little upset, as if some inexplicable force was competing with him for the beloved woman in his arms. He stretched out his hand to help Pucao, and without thinking about it, he lowered his head and kissed it, and in a panic, his lips and tongue abandoned the gentleness of the past, and became domineering and fierce.

Pu Cao's lips were numb from being bitten, and she came back to her senses with a low snort, and in frustration, she immediately reached out and slapped Fang Jie's shoulder twice. When she was finally let go, she hurriedly jumped up and saw that there was no one around, so she squatted down and complained, "Why did you suddenly go crazy again, in broad daylight..."

Fang Jie didn't wait for her to finish, he reached out and took her back into his arms, and complained childishly, "Who made you lose your soul when you see this watch, I would not have taken it out if I knew this." ”

Pu Cao listened angrily and amusedly, and reached out to take the gold watch for his left wrist. Then he whispered to him to explain the convenience and practicality of the watch, and said with a smile, "This is a delicate carving, as long as you remember to wind it every day, no matter where you are, you can know the exact time at any time." ”

Only then did Fang Jie know that the arm he had bought back as a bracelet was so magical, but he was even more curious about why Pu Cao knew so much about this state thing.

Pu Cao saw that his face was different, and he also regretted that he was overjoyed for a while. However, she quickly made up a clumsy story about the road rescuer, and finally said with a little weak disgust, "Why, are you jealous that I know more than you?" The world is so big, there are always things you haven't seen that I know well. ”

Fang Jie shook his head with a smile, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't delve further.

The two of them leaned together, quietly listening to the sound of the summer breeze passing through the bean rack, and occasionally looked down at the obviously pair of watches on the wrists of the two, and they all laughed softly...

(At least the word at four o'clock, the code came out at nine o'clock, I originally wanted to surprise everyone, but I couldn't get in the backstage, and I was angry.) Wake up early in the morning for a late market! If nothing else, it will be on the shelves on Monday the day after tomorrow, and the three watches will be spelled. Haha, it is estimated that there are 200,000 words in the follow-up of this book, and it will be done for about six yuan. If you have an account, you must continue to support the flowering period. Yesterday, I sorted out the outline and found that the wonderful plots were in the second half, and I don't know how it was set up at the beginning. Haha, try your best to do a good job during the flowering period, thank you for your support!! )
