"In that case, then I'm relieved, then I'll go back and try another way. The matter of the dyeing workshop is a lot of heart, "Mei Xiaotong knows the news, and she will not stay for long, and she will leave."

Shopkeeper Zheng admired Mei Xiaotong's absolutely insignificant character, and selected a few good ones for the fabrics used in the dyeing workshop's experiments, or fabrics that were not very qualified, hired a carriage, and sent Mei Xiaotong back to Lingshan Village.

Lin family.

All of them fell asleep.

Since the last time the Zhou family overheard about the Mei family, they have become more and more concerned.

Especially now, the reputation of the Mei family is really known to everyone in the town.

Why is it because someone has a capable girl?

Dyeing cloth was rewarded by the palace lady, not to mention, but also with the town's shopkeeper Zheng opened a dyeing workshop and cloth shop, it is said that the dyeing workshop opened the day of business, it is simply not good.

The women of the town were like crazy, and went to rob a kind of cloth with white flowers on a blue background that was appreciated by all the ladies in the palace, and I heard that it was made into clothes to wear, and it looked amazing.

It is also said that the dyeing workshop dyes an indigo cloth, which is strong and durable, and does not fade much, suitable for both men and women.

Almost all of them went crazy.

Many people say that the cloth shop is simply a lot of money, and the girl of the Mei family can share hundreds of taels of silver a month.

Within two days, another piece of news simply stunned Zhou.

Mei Xiaoque's leg was begged for a miracle medicine by the girl of the Mei family, and when he was cured, he heard that he could stand up and take two steps

When the news reached the Lin family, the sister-in-law Lin didn't hold it for a while.

I regretted it one by one, and my intestines were almost green.

I knew earlier, I knew that the Mei family would turn over so quickly, and Mei Xiaoque could also be cured, so why should they turn against the Mei family

Otherwise, with Mei Xiaoque's trust in them before, I am afraid that the Lin family is also developed now.

The people of the Lin family sighed for several days, but Sister-in-law Lin didn't hold back the fire, pointed at Zhou's nose, and scolded bitterly.

Scolding the Zhou family for not being ashamed, scolding the Zhou family for being blind, anyway, it's all Zhou's fault, it's not the Zhou family who is stupid, they have to be separated, the Lin family is still related to the Mei family, so they won't turn against each other.

Zhou gritted his teeth, no matter how Sister-in-law Lin scolded, she remained silent.

These days, every night, she secretly digs the wall with a spatula in the firewood room, and blocks it with firewood during the day, and no one comes to the firewood room to watch! ~Aichi Literature ...! Better, newer and faster

It took several days of digging until a hole was dug that could be passed through.

Zhou looked at the courtyard vigilantly, quietly, and they were all asleep.

Then he removed the firewood and drilled out of the hole.

Once the battle is decided, see if anyone finds out, Zhou will run away.

He didn't run two steps before he alarmed the dog next door and barked.

Zhou had already prepared, and threw half of the vegetable dumplings that he had saved during the day to the dog, and the dog took the vegetable dumplings in his mouth and walked away wagging his tail.

Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and it was not until he ran out of the village and got on the mountain road back to Lingshan Village that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tears welled up immediately, and she finally escaped

She wants to go back to Lingshan Village and Mei's house

It doesn't matter if she kowtows to Mei Xiaoque, admits her mistakes, whatever, she doesn't want to go back to Lin's house.

Afraid that the Lin family would catch up, the Zhou family didn't dare to stop all the way, touching the dark, and running to Lingshan Village with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It wasn't until the sky turned white that I finally saw the familiar courtyard of the Mei family.

Zhou sat at the door of the Mei family's courtyard, and it took a long time to catch his breath, and he wanted to reach out and knock on the door, but stopped again.

He straightened his hair and clothes with his hands before he raised his hands again.

But when her hand touched the door, she had no strength, and she didn't dare, she didn't dare to knock on the door.

Just stood at the door of the Mei family's courtyard, raised and lowered his hands, cheering himself up and deflating until the sky was bright.

There was movement in the courtyard of Mei's house, someone got up, then the sound of sweeping, washing, and talking.

Zhou pricked up his ears and leaned on the door to listen.

There was the sound of the dragon telling the leopard to get up quickly.

There is a voice of the heavenly leopard splashing the water on the tiger, being taught by the tiger, and begging for mercy.

Also, there is Mei Xiaoque's voice scolding them and telling them to be honest.

Zhou Shihun trembled, blocked his lips with his hands, and didn't dare to cry.

Mei Changgui finished sweeping the yard, opened the door, and saw a woman standing at the door with unkempt hair and patch after patch of clothes, and a thin woman standing in front of the door.

He was still crying with his hands over his mouth

"Who are you looking for this aunt" Mei Changgui really didn't recognize it, so he just thought that he was called Hua Pozi from somewhere, and came to ask for something to eat.

Hearing Mei Changgui's words, the people in the courtyard all looked at the door.

Zhou suddenly felt ashamed, she subconsciously covered her face, not wanting her son and Mei Xiaoque to see her embarrassed appearance.

Or Mrs. Li heard the movement, walked out of the back room, and asked "Who is it?"

Mei Changgui turned around, "I guess it's an aunt who has no food to eat, and she has come to our house, let's beg for food."

Mrs. Li frowned, since her own situation has improved, especially since her daughter got the reward of her mother, in the past three days, someone at both ends has come to fight the autumn wind, and she is a relative who can't beat the eight poles, and she is borrowing silver or something.

What kind of person is Mrs. Li, the silver is in her pocket, except for her daughter, no one wants to pick out a big son to use, she will borrow money

Are you kidding

Mei Zhongzhong was still a little hesitant, and said something to worry about reputation.

Mei Xiaotong is not used to these problems, she really wants to be famous, and she takes money to repair bridges and pave roads, and she doesn't support these people who pounce on them when they smell blood.

With the words of the girl, a Li Pozi is to scold one to go, and a pair to scold a pair to go.

It's been cleaned for two days, and then there's another flower

Mother-in-law

Mrs. Li walked to the door, paused for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and only sneered for a long time before she sneered, "Lin Xinghua, you are a jiàn person, why do you still have the face to step on the door of my Mei family"

what

Zhou

The people of the Mei family were stupid, and they all looked at the door.

Mei Changgui looked at Zhou again in disbelief, and it took a long time before he vaguely saw some familiar outlines.

Tianlong and Tianbao rushed to the door, and Tianlong trembled and said, "Mother, why are you like this?"

When the Zhou family ran to the Mei family to be separated, she was still a stout woman, especially wearing the clothes she had made in the Mei family, and she looked younger than ordinary women.

After only a few months of not seeing him, Zhou was so thin that he was out of shape, his hair was as yellow as straw and tied casually, his eyes were sunken, his hands were as thin as chicken feet, and his arms and legs were so thin that they seemed to be broken with a single force.

Zhou saw Tianlong and Tianbao, and finally took down the hand covering his mouth, hugged Tianbao, and cried loudly, "Tianbao, mother's Tianbao, my mother almost can't see you."

Mei Xiaoque walked out of the house slowly, looked at Zhou at the door, was stunned at first, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just looked at her with complicated eyes.

Xiaoque leaned over to Wen's side, grabbed Wen's hand, saw Zhou's current appearance, and wanted to say something, but Wen's mouth was covered and shook at her.

Xiaoque obediently closed her mouth and was silent.

Zhou's cry was heard all over the courtyard.

Mei Zhongzhong still can't listen to it, "It's all blocked at the door, what's the noise, what's the matter?"

When Zhou heard this, it was good to be able to enter the yard, and he was about to enter the door with the leopard.

was stopped by Mrs. Li, "Who allowed you to enter the door, when you left, I said, go, don't want to enter the door of our Mei family again, forget how to be afraid that our Mei family and the boss will drag you down, hurriedly separated and ran back, isn't it married, this is not a marriage that is unsatisfactory, and ran back to our Mei family to do what you want to do, you don't want men and children, you want to be wild men, tsk, make this ghost, retribution"

Tianlong and Tianbao saw Zhou's distress, and when they heard Mrs. Li's words at this moment, that idea of distress was suppressed by the pain of being abandoned at the beginning.

Tianhu walked quickly to the door, pulled Tianlong and Tianbao into the door, and said coldly to Zhou, "What are you still doing here, didn't you want nothing at the beginning, you have to leave and get married, we didn't stop you at the beginning, but now you have heard that our family's son is getting better, and the bitter son of other people's family can't live anymore, and he is coming back."

Zhou lowered his head in shame and explained in a smug manner, "My mother is not married, my mother is not married, and my mother is still innocent."

"Regardless of whether you are married or not, you left your father and left us in order to marry someone else. But if you want to make a face, you shouldn't come back."

The Heavenly Tiger was cold and unmoved.

Zhou looked at it in a panic

Her son and the people of the Mei family, everyone looked at her coldly, their eyes and faces were full of rejection, unwelcome, and disgust.

Zhou looked at Mei Xiaoque standing in the courtyard with a distress look, she knew that Mei Xiaoque liked herself, and she was good for herself, he definitely couldn't bear to see herself like this.

Besides, she didn't marry another man, she's still innocent

However, she was disappointed, Mei Xiaoque looked at herself with a cold expression, no different from looking at a stranger.

I haven't seen him for a few months, the Mei family's complexion is much better, several sons have risen a little higher, wearing new clothes, even Mei Xiaoque is fatter, and his face is full of blood at a glance, it seems that the Mei family has not treated him badly, and the most important thing is that he really stood up.

If she hadn't left, wouldn't she be in the yard now, and she could wear new clothes, eat and live like a person

Zhou was in a trance.

Jing County.

The noisy vegetable market, the clamor of all kinds of small businesses and small trades, people come and go, bustling.

Early in the morning, at the door of the time-honored Liu Ji bun shop, business was very good.

"The steaming steamed buns are just out of the cage, the old noodles are steamed buns, the steamed buns are a penny, the vegetarian buns are two pennies, and the buns are three pennies."

The owner of the bun shop shouted hard.

A young woman wearing a plum-red skirt and applying fat powder walked over, "Brother Liu, give me a vegetarian filling, three fillings, how much Wen"

"Sun Niangzi is early, your buns, thank you for your patronage, a total of 11 Wen." The boss Lao Liu skillfully picked out four buns, wrapped them in oiled paper, and handed them over.

The young lady also handed over a handful of copper coins.

When he took the copper coin, he touched Sun Niangzi's delicate and tender little hands, Lao Liu couldn't hold back and quietly pinched it.

Only ten wen was accepted, and the remaining one was left in the palm of Sun Niangzi's hand.

Sun Niangzi was born delicate, with a small face of melon seeds, a pretty nose, and a pair of fox eyes, she is a famous widow on Jingxian East Street, with a hooked face, inappropriate for widows, wearing red and green every day, scratching her head and making gestures when she goes out, which provokes many men on the street, intentionally or unintentionally, to talk to each other, dip some verbal cheapness, touch a little hand or something.

This Sun Niangzi is not annoyed, at most, she just laughs and scolds a few words, and there is still a hook in the eye knife that she threw away, which tickles people's hearts.

As soon as she went out, those men who had a heart couldn't help but look at her.

At this moment, Mrs. Sun was eaten by Lao Liu with a tofu, and she was not annoyed.

glared at Lao Liu with a smile and withdrew his hand.

The action between the two, the yellow-faced mother-in-law of Lao Liu Hou was steaming steamed buns with Lao Mian, and she didn't see it, she only smelled a fragrant wind, and heard her man calling Sun Niangzi, so she immediately raised her head vigilantly.

Seeing Mrs. Sun, she greeted with a smile: "Yo, Mrs. Sun is early, why did you get up so early today, this dress is newly made today, dress up like this, yes."

You can't see each other."

"Look at what my sister-in-law said, I'm just wearing a new dress, look at this color, it's good-looking, this is the new material of the auspicious fabric store that has just opened in Jingxian these days, it's cheap and good-looking. If sister-in-law likes it, let Brother Liu pull one too" Mrs. Sun covered her mouth and smiled.

"I said Brother Liu, your steamed bun business is so good, you won't be reluctant to pull a new dress for your sister-in-law, this woman, you still have to be able to dress up."

Lao Liu's face immediately darkened.

Seeing Lao Liu's eyes looking at Sun Niangzi, he seemed to be straightened, with a reluctant smile on his face, and the hand under the board was twisted on Lao Liu's waist, which made Lao Liu excited.

There was a little daughter-in-law who came to buy buns next to her, so she answered: "Sun Niangzi, you bought this material in the auspicious cloth shop, and this fabric shop is the newly opened one."

Sun Niangzi was about to leave with a bun, but when she heard someone ask, she suddenly scratched the itch, "No, although this auspicious cloth shop is newly opened, it can't stand the cloth dyed by others, and the color is bright and beautiful." I've heard that they have a kind of cloth dyed with various colors on a blue background, and even the ladies in the palace say it's good. This time they opened, and I heard that this kind of cloth also had to be bought, but unfortunately the quantity was too small, and when I knew the news, it was all robbed."

Speaking of this, there is still a little unwillingness.

Speaking of auspicious fabrics, it immediately attracted the daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law who came to buy vegetables, rice and food.

"But no, the auspicious cloth shop is not so popular now, from morning to night, there is a queue at the door."

"Not only queue up, but also buy a limited amount, the kind of fabric that is said to be liked by the ladies in the palace, as soon as it comes out, it was robbed, and now it is a slightly better looking material, everyone can only buy three feet, and this can't be sold."

"A few days ago, my daughter and son-in-law came back to Menzi and brought us back a few feet of auspicious cloth that indigo cloth, which cost more than one or two silver, and I said that they should not break this fee, they have to honor me as an old woman, it is really a headache. But the cloth is really strong and durable, and the color is stable, and I like this old woman very much."

When the women around heard this, they couldn't help but look at the clothes on Sun Niangzi with envy, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that this color was good-looking, and bright, and there was no variegation, and Sun Niangzi's appearance was set off into six points.

Especially Sun Niangzi, who was looked at by so many people, was not stage frightened at all, but stood there generously, and turned around from time to time and twisted her waist, so that people could see clearly.

Now, not only women, but even many men swallow saliva and come up to see Sun Niangzi's small waist, that paragraph, it is really seductive.

Lao Liu's family originally wanted to mock Sun Niangzi, but I didn't expect that this fox widow was not only not angry, but also stood in front of her shop with her strands and waists crossed, for people to see.

There are many people who come up to watch, and there are few people who buy steamed buns, but the people who want to buy steamed buns are blocked outside.

Suddenly

I secretly hated that this widow was a bad spirit.

It's just a street, you can't look up and see what you look down, if you are offended, you will affect your own business.

Therefore, Lao Liu's family, grinding his teeth, barely squeezed out an ugly smiling face, "Oh, such a good fabric, a good color, and only a beauty like Sun Meizi looks good when she wears it, if we wear a burnt steamed bun, it is estimated that we are blind with such a good color." ”

Sun Niangzi was modest on the surface, but in fact, she proudly flicked the clothes that were not wrinkled, "Sister-in-law said that, I only dared to wear this color because I was young, and I wouldn't dare in a few years." Besides, in the auspicious cloth shop, there is not only this bright color, but also suitable for sisters-in-law to wear, what azure, earthy yellow, sister-in-law has time to go shopping, don't just guard the bun shop every day"

"Sun Niangzi, if you have something to do, go busy, that bun is cold and it won't taste good." The old Liu family couldn't help it anymore and reminded.

Sun Niangzi pursed her lips and smiled, "Oh, I'm sorry, block your shop and delay your business, I'll get out of the way, Brother Liu, sister-in-law Liu, you are busy." ”

The wind swayed like a willow and twisted his waist and left.

As soon as the wind blew, a gust of fragrant wind still drifted faintly.

Lao Liu squinted, twitched his nose a few times, sniffed in the air, and looked intoxicated.

Sister-in-law Liu snorted and kicked Lao Liu, "Don't go and knead the dough when you smell something"

Turning his head, he muttered, "Shameless jiàn people, fox spirits, go out to hook up with men every day, look at the way they walk, the stocks are about to twist to the sky, phew"

The lady who sells vegetables next to her has long been unable to see it, "People used to be good at that business, and they have gone into their bones, can they change it?"

Lao Liu's face was full of thorny tumors, covered his mouth and coughed, "You guys have some virtue on your mouth, how can you say that Sun Niangzi is also a poor person, Lao Sun has been dead for several years, and now he is half a white man, why bother to keep worrying about the previous things."

"Phew, what do you mean by holding on to the previous things, that little lady is born to be a sāo, Lao Sun is dead, how many men do she have behind herself, who doesn't count in her heart, every night the men queuing up at her back door are estimated to be no less than the auspicious cloth pedestrians."
