Chapter 190, Counting the Dowry
Sending King Liang to tea, Chu Huaixian was so satisfied, and all that came out of his bones was happy. Looking around, there is joy everywhere. There are smiles on the faces of the parents and elders, there are rewards in the palace, and the face of the eldest prince of Chu is more than enough from the inside out, and Chu Huaixian's face makes the young master of Chu and King Liang look at the awkward smiles even stronger.
King Liang came awkwardly to say goodbye, and in the afternoon, he heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and asked if it was the sedan chair that greeted the relatives and went out, King Liang groaned, thinking about Chu Huaixian, King Liang blushed and became uncomfortable.
Chu Huaixian, who was wearing red and hanging colors, walked on the street, and there must have been passers-by pointing behind him. This finger pointing is nothing more than who the Chu family is marrying today? A girl!
It's just a girl, this person wants to run away with others, and wants to ...... There's a lot of speculation in the streets.
King Liang thought that Chu Huaixian, who was walking on the road to greet his relatives at this time, must be accepting everyone's opinions, he shrunk his body, and looked at the guests outside as if he was frightened, King Liang made up his mind, if he could not go out today, he would not go out, just sit here. Let him go out and listen to the guests say "a hundred years of good harmony", King Liang, who is not a groom official, can't find a crack in the ground to get into.
No matter what the guests of the Chu family meant, at least on the surface, they maintained a lively and festive atmosphere. At this time, the Wu family was also equally festive. As Xia Lu said, the third lady has to get up today no matter how light or serious she is. Not only did she get up, but she sat energetically with the guests.
"This dowry is really a lot, and it's all from your family?" Someone among the relatives who came asked this, and the third lady replied to her with a smile on her face, which made people wonder what the dowry was all about.
When the auspicious time came, Chu Huaixian and the sedan chair entered the door, and the newlyweds said goodbye to their parents, got on the sedan chair and went out of the door. The third lady is a powerful person today, and she cried tears when she went out at the beginning of the year, and kept saying: "My son," let others see it, and almost thought that it was the third lady's own daughter who got married.
Outside the door of Wu's house is the street, and there are a few old willow trees and big locust trees on the street. At this time, a carriage was parked behind the locust tree, and the curtain of the carriage opened a crack thinly, and a low voice came from inside: "Fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine....... who is the woman who is crying?" ”
Xiaoyi and Gong Miao'er hid in the carriage, one big and one small, pointing their fingers, both counting the dowry of Xiaochu's outing. Sister got married, Lin Xiaoyi was itchy and couldn't sit still at home, Tao'er asked Gong Miaoer to take Xiaoyi out to see Xiaochu sedan chair go out, although she couldn't go up to see her off, it could be regarded as seeing her off in her heart.
The two men parked the carriage not far from the door of Wu's house, and after seeing the sedan chair, they began to count how much Xiaochu's dowry had.
"That's not your mother, why don't you know it?" Gong Miao'er counted and was interrupted by Xiaoyi, so she smiled and gave Xiaoyi a sentence. Xiaoyi was still counting the dowry with one hand, and touched her head with the other hand and smiled with a smile: "It's my sister's mother, not my mother." "I said that I was afraid that I would count wrong, so I quickly continued to count: "Seventy-eight, seventy-nine......"
"Eighty-one, eighty-two...... It's your sister's mother, isn't it your mother, don't you recognize it? Gong Miao'er also replied with a needle, and then continued to count. Xiaoyi pursed his lips: "I don't admit it, I don't recognize it." Ninety, ninety-one......"
Gong Miao'er said quickly: "If you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it, ninety-five, ninety-six......"
Counting happily, the more they counted, the bigger the petty grin, Gong Miao'er also nodded secretly, no matter what, the Chu family still knew that they wanted face. As soon as he nodded, a man walked by with a shrunken head outside the carriage.
The weather was still cold in January, and this person was even more covered with a brocade hat, so that only a pair of eyes were outside. He sneakily walked past the carriage under the tree, and Gong Miao'er in the carriage called out to him: "Zheng Gongzi." ”
Zheng Yi was startled, turned around with a shudder, and whispered in the deafening sound of firecrackers in the Wu family: "Who?" The carriage curtain opened, and Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Gong." ”
After he saw that it was Gong Miao'er, he respectfully arched his hand: "You have a good New Year." Gong Miao'er laughed: "It's the New Year, and you have a good New Year." "It's too late to do the Tao this year.
"What are you doing here?" Gong Miaoer asked knowingly. Although Zheng Yi only showed his eyes, he also saw embarrassment in his eyes, he was embarrassed, and stammered: "I, I'm passing by." ”
"One hundred and eleven, one hundred and twelve ......" Xiao Yi was single-minded, counting with his mouth and his eyes on them. was very curious about Zheng Yi, who had covered himself tightly, so he used his ears for a third time and listened to them openly.
When the last dowry went out, the Wu family put a big whip. The sudden sound of firecrackers made Zheng Yi, who was already frightened, tremble again, Gong Miao'er looked pitiful, thinking that this straw bag had not had a good year, so she said: "You come to the car to see." ”
"Thank you for the shopkeeper Gong," Zheng Yi got into the carriage very gratefully, and let go of the side with little care, and looked outside intently. There were three more people in the carriage who were warmer than outside, and Gong Miaoer said casually: "Make your clothes one width wider, and get off the carriage and surround it so as not to get sick." ”
Zheng Yi was even more embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "I, the injury on my face hasn't healed yet." Gong Miao'er sighed when she heard it, looked at Zheng Yimeng's sturdy face, and didn't know why she thought that when her family was in trouble, she was also injured when she came out of prison. Gong Miao'er said kindly: "The bruising doctor at the front door is well treated, and I used to be optimistic about him." ”
"I, it's okay," Zheng Yi said to Gong Miao'er, since the accident, not many people have listened to Zheng Yi. He said to Gong Miao during his childhood: "It's okay, I, I want to see if Miss Xiaochu is okay, I'm afraid that people will embarrass her, but as a result, I was beaten by them again." ”
Gong Miao'er was helpless: "You stay away from the Chu family, no wonder I heard Lao Sun say beating people, it turned out to be you." Zheng Yi smiled embarrassedly and said: "I didn't go to Chu's house, I just showed my head on the corner of Chu's house......" happened to be seen by Jin Xi'er, and he was caught and beaten.
Xiao Yi stared at Gong Miao'er and then at Zheng Yi, and slowly understood who the person in front of him was.
"I just want to see Miss Xiaochu and see if she is okay. They beat me so hard that I was afraid to beat her too. Zheng Yi stammered when he spoke, but when he met someone who listened to him, he was still saying: "I spent a lot of money and couldn't find out where she was, knowing that she got married today, I followed the sedan chair of the Chu family on the street." ”
Gong Miao'er persuaded: "You stay away," this straw bag is fine, but this matter is too big, of course the Chu family can't clean him up against everyone's rumors.
Zheng Yi lost his soul: "I just want to see her, have you seen her?" Is she good, Chu Gongzi ......" Zheng Yi said this, gritted his teeth and said: "Of course he will torture her, isn't it, he will definitely torture her." ”
As soon as the words came to this, Lin Xiaoyi, who had been staring at his eyes and ears and listening, suddenly pounced and whimpered: "I'll fight with you." The nails of the two little hands scratched at Zheng Yi's eyes that were only exposed.
Sudden attack, the carriage was narrow again, Zheng Yi was knocked down and hit his head on the wall of the carriage with a "bang", Gong Miao'er picked up Xiaoyi in time and shouted: "What are you doing!" With a flick of his hand, Xiao Yi fell behind him, and Xiao Yi fell on the wall of the carriage, which was also a "bang".
After this "bang", Xiao Yi got up and struggled to come over, crying in his mouth: "Sister Tao'er said that he is to blame, and my sister would not suffer without him." Sister Tao'er also said that my sister will not have a good life in the future. ”
"You charmed her three times, why does she still talk to you!" Gong Miao'er blocked Lin Xiaoyi with her back, and there was a lot of trouble behind her, and she slapped Xiaoyi on the head with a slap in the back: "What nonsense!" Your sister is married to Chu Gongzi, and Ming Media is marrying, how can there be no good life. ”
There was such a commotion in the car, and Zheng Yi, who sat up slowly, didn't seem to hear it. He stared down with a blank gaze, and said to himself, "I hurt her, I didn't arrange it well." With that, he turned and got out of the carriage, and walked away like a gust of wind without looking back.
Since something happened, the only thing that this playboy is frustrated with is that he didn't arrange things carefully. You must know that this matter is secret, with Zhang Changji, it can't be secret.
"Hey, where are you going?" Gong Miaoer stretched out her head to look, and Xiaoyi behind her also stretched out her head. Gong Miao'er stopped Xiaoyi back and glared at her angrily: "I don't want to give food to my life!" ”
Xiao Yi sat down stupidly, pouted and said, "You murder me, I don't eat!" Gong Miao'er laughed, stretched out her hand and slapped Xiaoyi again, and scolded with a smile: "You little temper, just like your sister." When you grow up, you will have to suffer. ”
Sticking out his head to look at Zheng Yi's back outside the car, Gong Miao'er said fearfully: "He won't make trouble, right?" "If you think about it, he can't do anything alone. Gong Miao'er said: "Let's go home, eat shabu-shabu at noon today, if you don't eat it, you will lose." ”
The carriage drove slowly through the street, and suddenly there was a cry of "whoosh" from the car. Gong Miao'er, who was driving the carriage, was frightened, turned around and knocked the carriage with a horse whip, and said angrily: "What's the matter! ”
"I forgot how much to lift, woo, how many to carry a hundred, it's all your fault, I hate you to death, woo, how many ...... a hundred" Xiaoyi cried in the carriage.
Gong Miao'er rushed to the car with a tense face: "How much to lift?" Anyway, more than a hundred lifts, you are content, more than when you got married. Lin Xiaoyi kept crying in the carriage: "How much to lift?" One hundred and sixteen, one hundred and thirty-two......"
Tao'er was at home, watching Gong Miao'er bring back Lin Xiaoyi, who was crying and wiping her tears, and said in surprise: "Go out well, why do you come back crying?" Oh yes, the little girl got married, and Xiaoyi should cry. ”
"No, this little thing has a bad temper!" Gong Miao'er threw her little meaning in front of Tao'er: "Go and go, I can't bother you." Lin Xiaoyi continued to cry: "How much I lifted, I forgot,"
