Chapter 5: Scoundrels
"Now you say!"
Gu Tong knew Song Jinfei's scruples, so he also lowered his voice and said to him: "Brother Hengtong pawns knows, right?" ”
Song Jinfei said: "Well, as a citizen of Puding County, how can you not know that this bride is Hengtong pawned the Yin family?" ”
"Yes, it is said that the Yin family is marrying."
Song Jinfei immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately said: "No, the Yin family is also a very prominent family in Puding, if you want to marry, I don't know what kind of pomp and circumstance, how can it be so much and people." When we arrived, there was only one bride, what about the Yin family? Doesn't seem to have seen any of them? ”
Gu Tong continued: "I heard that it was the Yin family's Yin Sanye who was sick and dying, and this bride was sent to Yin Sanye to be happy, but the bride has not yet arrived at the Yin family, I heard that Yin Sanye died." The Yin family left the bride and returned to Puding by themselves, and only encountered such a thing halfway through. ”
"A widow?" Song Jinfei felt a little unlucky.
Gu Tong nodded and said, "According to what I heard, the result is like this, so big brother, what should I do next?" ”
Song Jinfei felt a headache, he didn't expect this matter to be so complicated, he thought that the bride of which family had run away, they rescued her, and then when he sent it back, he could ask for a sum of money by the way. They won't have to worry about what their brothers will do to make a living in the future, but this is the result, the Yin family left the bride, and now it seems that they can't send the bride to the Yin family, the Yin family is doing a funeral, and they won't get any benefit if they go, and they will definitely blame them for being nosy.
Officials and businessmen collude, they can't afford to mess with those who do business, let alone those who are officials.
Song Jinfei was puzzled: "Let's go and inquire about which family lost the girl, and see if we can send someone back to my parents' house." ”
Gu Tong smiled: "I thought that the eldest brother wanted to keep that delicate little lady by his side." ”
Song Jinfei frowned and said, "The lives of the widows are hard, I don't dare to take over." ”
Fu Zhangzhu, who was sleeping on the bed, was also suffering from the pain on his body at the moment, and he couldn't sleep well at all. Later, she simply sat up, sweating profusely, and the clothes stuck to her body were sticky, not comfortable at all.
The robe on her body was also a set of peasant women's clothes that I didn't know where the man had found, and they hung empty on her body, with heavy patches, and the original color of the clothes was no longer visible. What time is it? What time is it now? No one came to tell her.
These days I have been lying in bed, sometimes awake and sometimes confused. She laboriously went down to the ground, wanted to drink the water on the table, moved step by step, and finally walked to the table, she held on to the table and gasped for a while, and then reached out to carry the teapot, her hand trembled, the water spilled, and the cup on the table was swept by the sleeve and fell to the ground and shattered.
It was not easy for her to take a sip of water, and Zhangzhu was extremely depressed.
At this moment, the people outside heard the movement in the house, and suddenly pushed the door and walked in, but saw Fu Zhangzhu standing in front of the table and was extremely embarrassed.
Song Jinfei twisted his eyebrows and asked, "What are you going to do, Miss Fu?" ”
He knows what his last name is, that's to find out where he came from, what will he do next?! Zhangzhu looked at him, Song Jinfei was shocked to realize that the woman in front of him was a mute, he came up and said, "Do you want to drink water, I'll pour it for you." ”
Song Jinfei went to get a clay bowl again, poured water with the palm beads, the water in the pot was still cold, he poured half a bowl for the palm beads, and the palm beads themselves came over and drank it in a big gulp.
After drinking the water, Zhangzhu sat and rested for a while, she seemed to have a little strength, she glanced at Song Jinfei again, and said, "This uncle, do me a favor." ”
Song Jinfei was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and he asked Zhangzhu with a stutter: "You...... You...... No...... Mute? ”
"Of course I'm not dumb, so I ask the uncle to do the little girl a favor, the little girl is grateful......" Fu Zhangzhu said and got up and bowed down to Song Jinfei.
"Girl, please say something." Song Jinfei just felt that the bride in front of him was good-looking, which made him a little unable to take his eyes off.
"Send me back to the Fu family in Yang County." She has completely inherited the memory of the woman in red, and at this moment she is Xie Ruoyi and Fu Zhangzhu.
"The girl is from Yangyang?"
"Well, the Fu family in Yang County. Uncle is kind, and the little girl will definitely let her uncle and aunt give her a good reward. Although at this moment, she also knows that Fu Chaoxian is a poor official and the Zhang family is a slammer, but at present, she only has such a place to go.
Song Jinfei looked at Fu Zhangzhu in a daze, and suddenly felt that even though the girl in front of him had a good appearance, she was also a thin-lived person.
"I ...... Think about it. Song Jinfei did not immediately reply to Zhangzhu's words.
After a night's rest, Fu Zhangzhu's condition has been relatively stable, although the wound is still painful, and there is still no strength in her body, she seems to have gradually adapted to this tattered body, and she is also trying to recover as soon as possible.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw a neatly folded set of clothes on the table, a new pair of shoes, a comb next to it, and an ordinary black silver hairpin. These things may have been her dowry in the carriage box. She changed her clothes herself, combed her hair, simply tied her hair back and fixed it with a hairpin.
Later, Song Jinfei sent a basin of hot water in, and Zhangzhu bent down to wash his face. The surface of the water shook slightly, reflecting her appearance. She looked at the face in the water for a moment. Such an unfamiliar face is not similar to Xie Ruoyi.
She washed her face, Song Jinfei took out a box from her sleeve and handed it to Zhangzhu: "Oh, this is for you." ”
She didn't know what it was, she took it and opened it, it turned out to be a box of red and bright fat powder, with a soft jasmine fragrance, and it smelled very good. She couldn't help but sink her heart when she smelled the familiar smell, and remembered the two pots of jasmine that her mother had raised by herself. When she was a child, her mother used a needle and thread to string the white flowers for her to play with.
In the end, the palm beads didn't use the rouge.
Song Jinfei secretly looked at Fu Zhangzhu, who had changed into new clothes, and seemed to have a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it, and three words came out: "It's so beautiful!" ”。
Gu Tong went for a long time to find out the situation of Fu Zhangzhu, and came back to tell Song Jinfei.
"Now it's troublesome, the bride is the daughter of the official master's family, no, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that she is a niece. Her uncle is a classic historian, although he is a petty official who is not in the stream, but after all, he is an official, and he is not easy to mess with. ”
When it was really a trouble, Gu Tong immediately suggested: "Big brother, why don't we leave this bride and go by ourselves, and leave her alone." I don't dare to deal with people in the government. ”
Song Jinfei raised his eyebrows and said: "She is afraid that she only has half a life left now, how can she go back to Yangyang?" ”
