Chapter 20 A Family of Women Seeking Hundreds of Families
Shen Xiaoyu lay down all night, and the next day they came together to be a lively fish again, but Cui Fenglan felt that Shen Xiaoyu was still too young, and it was not good to blow cold wind outside every day, so she wanted Shen Xiaoyu to rest at home for a day.
"Don't stop, you must buy braised pork today!" Shen Xiaoyu was still thinking about it in his heart, and he had told everyone that he was okay, and it was not good to always go.
After packing up, Shen Xiaoyu opened the road to the city, and when he arrived at the city gate, he still waited for a while before he could go in, and when he entered the door, Shen Xiaoyu first stretched his neck to find a meat stall.
"It's still early!" Cui Fenglan said, and then she went to set up a stall first.
When it was close to noon, Shen Xiaoyu took the money to the meat stall, and the little girl from the meat stall saw that Shen Xiaoyu finally came, so she asked with a smile, "Why did you come?" Sick and cured? β
Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, come and buy meat early!" β
"What's your name? My name is Zhao Ruizhu! The two exchanged names and got acquainted.
"My name is Shen Xiaoyu, I'm going to play with you tomorrow!" Shen Xiaoyu held the braised pork in her hand and said, she can be regarded as an acquaintance in the city.
Shen Xiaoyu, who returned to the stall with the meat in his hand, always glanced at the meat bowl, looking forward to closing the stall as soon as possible.
Qin Huaijin peeked at the entrance of the alley opposite, today the adults of the Qin family went to attend the birthday banquet of other families, and there were no tigers in the mountains, so he sneaked out again.
"I said, young master, master, they will come back soon, let's go back quickly!" Fu'an was so anxious that he was sweating, this second young master was too difficult to serve.
Qin Huaijin said: "What's the hurry, the birthday banquet won't end until the evening, if you're afraid, don't hang around here, go home and look at the wind!" β
Fu'an's head shook like a rattle: "That's not good, the young master sneaked out and it was enough for me to beat me, but if the young master bumped it again, I would have to be beaten to death!" "You have to keep an eye on it.
Qin Huaijin didn't care, so he said, "What did you do before?" I really didn't see a ruffian come to embarrass her! β
Fu'an smiled hesitantly: "The young master is really good to his daughter-in-law, but the young master doesn't tell the little girl, aren't you worrying about it in vain?" β
Qin Huaijin's heart is also a little complicated, is it difficult to tell people that I am your fiancΓ© of the "sick and short-lived ghost"? He knows that he is not a sick man, but people don't know, there are some things that can't be said, and people must think that he will take revenge!
"You don't understand!" Qin Huaijin said.
Fu'an was speechless: "The young master understands it!" Just talking and laughing, looking at a person at the corner of the street, Fu'an hurriedly said: "Oh, that Miss Xue family is here!" β
When Qin Huaijin heard this, she shuddered, why did she come too!
"Young master, young master, Miss Xue is going to that little girl...... The stall of the second young grandmother! Fu'an hurriedly changed his words.
Qin Huaijin squinted his eyes and looked, it was really!
Xue Yijun wandered to Shen Xiaoyu's stall, and saw that Shen Xiaoyu was staring at a cloth bag next to him, but he didn't see her, so he dug his mouth and said, "What are you looking at?" β
Shen Xiaoyu turned his head when he heard the voice, only to realize that it was Xue Yijun who came.
"Miss Xue." Shen Xiaoyu greeted, and then said, "I didn't see anything, what does Miss Xue want to buy?" β
Xue Yijun's little face raised and said, "I don't buy anything, I'm here to remind you today, you are a happy girl, don't think that the Qin family really looks down on you!" β
Shen Xiaoyu plucked his ears with his fingers, and it was not the first time Xue Yijun said this, so he said: "Yes, yes, Miss Xue is what she says, I am self-aware!" This is not salty or light, and my ears have grown calluses after listening to it many times.
Xue Yijun smiled: "I will come every day in the future, as long as you are obedient, you will not accept the money in this stall in the future, if you are disobedient, you will double the fee in the future!" β
Shen Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Miss Xue, please rest assured, I definitely don't like that sick seedling!" "As long as you don't charge money, it's easy to say anything!
Qin Huaijin gritted his teeth and squinted at the entrance of the alley, thinking that this Xue Yijun's news was received quite quickly!
"Young master......" Fu'an shouted, feeling that it was not easy for his young master.
Qin Huaijin sighed, and watched Xue Yijun leave before he dared to come forward.
"This Xue Yijun is really troublesome, she has a fart relationship with her!" Qin Huaijin hates Xue Yijun, he has been like a fart since he was a child, if it weren't for Xue Yijun's father being an official master, there would be no need for their Qin family to tear their faces, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of Xue Yijun.
Fu'an was helpless, but when he saw his carriage at the intersection, he hurriedly said, "Young master, young master!" Master their car! β
Qin Huaijin sighed, if you don't go back, you have to go back.
Shen Xiaoyu here is also cleaning up the stall, this morning I always feel that there is a sight, and she can't find it!
"Xiaoyu, you just hold the meat, and your father and I will get the rest!" Cui Fenglan said with a smile.
Shen Xiaoyu nodded, nothing is as important as this big bowl of meat now!
On the way back to the village, many blind dates have begun spring ploughing, although the weather is still cold, but everyone is idle and idle, all pondering to pick up the fields as soon as possible, plant grain early, and have hope for the future.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Three years later
The days passed day by day, from one year of Chengyu to three years of Chengyu, and it was three years in the blink of an eye. Because of a coup d'Γ©tat, the imperial court changed blood, and a small broken place like Liaoyang City has also heard of it.
"Hey, I've heard that many people have been imprisoned, and there are a lot of beheadings, one by one, just like chopping melons and vegetables, cutting row by row!" In the teahouse, there are a bunch of nonsense.
The owner of the teahouse listened to the movement, so he came over: "I'll talk about a few, don't talk about it, it's easy to get into trouble!" β
"What trouble can we have in this broken place, and the emperor can still have ears to the wind, and he can listen to what we are talking about from a distance of 108,000 miles?!" The tea guest joked: "We don't care about anything, there's no!" β
A group of people continued to talk nonsense, and Shen Xiaoyu, who was setting up a stall opposite, dozed off, reading too late last night, and was in a daze this morning.
Shen Xiaoyu, who is already thirteen years old, has a lot of body at once, thin and tall, with long hair scattered on his shoulders, because he has been setting up a stall outside all the year round, although he does not look like a deep boudoir woman with fine skin and tender flesh, but his complexion is healthy, and he looks like a neat person.
Cui Fenglan saw that Shen Xiaoyu was sleepy, so she said, "Xiaoyu, light the lamp and boil the oil again at night, right?" β
Shen Xiaoyu smiled embarrassedly, the price of candles has risen recently, and she can only use oil lamps.
Cui Fenglan blamed: "The oil lamp is a little bigger than a bean, be careful of burning your eyes!" β
Shen Xiaoyu said: "I will pay attention not to boil it!" With that, he got up and went to the next street to buy some fried fruits, and after a while he closed the stall and ate them.
After surviving the disaster year, the days of Sihe Village have also warmed up, and the Shen family usually makes a lot of money by setting up stalls, and the family's land is also planted with some green vegetables, which is enough for their own food. Cui Fenglan said that Shen Xiaoyu's hands are skillful, and Shen Xiaoyu is reluctant to let Shen Xiaoyu touch those dirt and dirt, and his daughter can read and read, and she can support her family skillfully, Cui Fenglan said that even if she marries into a high-ranking family, she can marry.
Father Shen sighed when he saw Shen Xiaoyu go to the next street, although his daughter is thirteen, she is not small, needless to say, she will be a good girl in the future, but it's a pity......
"Although we haven't seen the young master of the Qin family, but the young master of the rich and noble family should also be knowledgeable, there has been no news in the past few years is good news, maybe people are cured, it's okay, Xiaoyu doesn't have to go to fill the grave, and he can get a good marriage!" Cui Fenglan knew what Father Shen was worried about, but she was afraid that Shen Xiaoyu would not get a good result in the future. has lived together for more than three years, and she also takes Shen Xiaoyu as her daughter, and she has also taught Shen Xiaoyu this bit of poetry and craftsmanship, and she also hopes that Shen Xiaoyu can really marry well and live a good life in the future.
Father Shen sighed again, although he also thought so, but this matter was hanging in his heart, maybe one day his daughter would be gone, and this taste was not good. In the past few years, in fact, people have come to the Shen family one after another to propose marriage, all of them see that Shen Xiaoyu is smart, capable and generous, but they have all been pushed by Shen's father, and in the end, there are fewer and fewer people who propose relatives.
Shen Xiaoyu didn't buy anything immediately on the next street, but walked around the street. In the nearby streets, she is not the only one who sells embroidery, and every time she has the opportunity, she will see what other houses are selling.
Walking to Liu's house across the street, Shen Xiaoyu lowered his head and wanted to hurry over, but he was still watched by the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.
"The little fish is here?" The daughter-in-law of the Liu family was very enthusiastic when she saw Shen Xiaoyu coming, and pulled Shen Xiaoyu to chat.
The Liu family also sells embroidery, but they are all patterns from the other end of southern Xinjiang, the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family is married from southern Xinjiang, and the old Liu used to sell jewelry.
Shen Xiaoyu saw that everyone was coming up, and she couldn't run away, so she smiled bitterly: "Aunt Liu, I'm just passing by!" β
The daughter-in-law of the Liu family smiled and said, "I know! But your dad still hasn't replied? Do you think my family gives less dowry? β
Shen Xiaoyu has a headache, Liu Jin, the son of the Liu family, is fourteen this year and is a scholar, the Liu family is afraid that the craft stall will be broken in the future, so they have always wanted her to marry and take over, but the situation of their own family is here, and they have pushed these things away before, but the daughter-in-law of the Liu family is still a little reluctant, and she has been lobbying for three days. The Liu family is also generous, they sell silver jewelry, and there is a lot of silver, and the dowry alone is said to be twenty taels of heads, even if you marry a small trader's daughter in the city, it is not less.
"Auntie, didn't my father push it off, we are from the village, and I am not worthy of Brother Jin as a scholar!" Shen Xiaoyu said, and hurriedly slipped away.
"Hey, this kid, what are you running!" The daughter-in-law of the Liu family muttered, she is very optimistic about Shen Xiaoyu, her skills are good at a young age, the Shen family's business has been pulled over a lot in three years, it is really good to be their daughter-in-law, no matter how good the daughters of other families are, without Shen Xiaoyu's skills, marrying is a waste material, and she can't support this stall at home!
Shen Xiaoyu ran away for a long time, bought fried fruits and then bought some vegetables, and then pondered and went back.
When he walked to the small alley, Shen Xiaoyu always felt that someone was following him, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
