Seeing Mrs. Wei's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Man suddenly realized that he was a little abrupt, after all, he and Mrs. Wei were only a few sides of each other, and now he rashly invited......

"Miss Su, wait until I send someone to ask my father-in-law's opinion, and then tell you, is it okay?" Mrs. Wei said.

Xiao Man nodded hurriedly, "Okay." ”

Mrs. Wei sent her maid to ask, and she talked to Xiaoman about the embroidery patterns, and the two of them chatted very happily.

For a while, Mrs. Wei didn't even feel hungry, and the bowl of noodles slowly clumped into a ball with the loss of time, and no one cared about it.

The winter sun is not warm, and as the sun gradually sets to the west, there are fewer and fewer people in the market, and the clamor of the hawkers gradually fades, and the crowds gradually disperse.

The vendors who set up stalls left one after another, and the road became much wider, and the maid who had been sent out came back at this time, only to see her first saluting, and then leaning over and whispering something to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei's originally worried face instantly relaxed, and she smiled at Xiao Man, "My husband still has some things to deal with, so he can arrive later, let's go first, right?" ”

"Then he doesn't know the way, what if he goes wrong?" Su Xiaoman asked.

"Don't worry, he already knows that I have a friend in Bishui Village, let's walk slowly and leisurely first, and naturally we can meet on the road." Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and smiled, and after explaining, she bowed to Lu Li again, "I'm bothering Lu Gongzi." ”

Lu Li waved his hand, "It's okay." ”

Because of the previous elopement, many people in the village refused to play with Xiaoman, and those who visited the door on weekdays also had their own plans, as for Su Xiaoling, who had a half-blood relationship with Xiaoman, she was not as good as an outsider, seeing Xiaoman and Mrs. Wei talking happily, he felt that this was very good.

After all, he is a man, and there are many things that he can't discuss with Xiaoman, but now that someone like Mrs. Wei has appeared, he is finally relieved.

Because she was a guest, Mrs. Wei asked the maid to go back, and she followed Xiao Man and Lu Li home, Mrs. Wei and Xiao Man talked and laughed along the way, and Lu Li carried a big bag behind them to protect silently.

"It's a pity that it's winter, and there are a lot of flowers and grass that don't grow, so if you come in spring or summer, the scenery here is even more beautiful." Looking at the bare branches and withered yellow grass around him, Xiao Man made some regretful introductions.

Mrs. Wei shook her head with a smile and said very respectfully: "No, I think it's beautiful." ”

Xiao Man still regretted, "Mrs. Wei, if you had seen the summer scene here with us, you wouldn't have said that!" In the summer, there is a small stream on the side of the road, and there are small fish and shrimp the size of fingernails in the stream, which is fun, and there are ......"

Just as Xiao Man was talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Lu Li turned his head vigilantly, just as he collided with the eyes of the man on horseback.

He frowned in shock, "Wei Xiuyuan? How do you ......"

As he spoke, Lu Li turned his head to look at Mrs. Wei again, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

He never imagined that he would meet his old friend here.

Similarly, the man on horseback was also shocked, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward to look at Lu Li, only then did he dare to recognize: "Lu Li? You lived here, I thought ......"

It's really ingenious to think about the fate in the world, I thought it was just an ordinary meal, but I didn't want to let him meet a friend who has known him for many years because of this meal.

Looking at the shocked and surprised appearance of the two, Xiao Man couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wei, but Mrs. Wei also looked unclear, could it be said that they knew each other?

Wei Xiuyuan led the horse to his wife and reintroduced: "I am Wei Xiuyuan, this is my wife Xia Wanrou, Lu Li, long time no see." ”

Similarly, Lu Li also introduced Xiao Man, and then asked, "Aren't you in the capital?" How did you get here, when did you get married, I don't know anything. ”

Capital?

Su Xiaoman heard the clouds and mountains covered in fog, how could his man know the officials in the capital, and who was this Wei Xiuyuan, and why did he come to such a small place as Taoyuan County from the capital?

Countless questions hung over Xiao Man's head, she looked at this, and then at that, full of question marks.

"Miss Su is your wife?" Wei Xiuyuan interrupted Xiao Man's thoughts, and he looked at his wife in some surprise, "What a coincidence, I heard Wanrou praise Miss Su several times, but I didn't want to be your wife, what a coincidence." ”

Lu Li smiled slightly, "Yes, I didn't expect that the friend who talked to my wife was your wife." ”

The two seem to have known each other for many years, and there are endless words and doubts, Xiaoman can't help but propose when he sees this: "My house is coming soon, why don't you go to the house and talk in detail?" ”

"Okay, we're going to have a drink today!" Wei Xiuyuan said boldly.

Lu Li nodded, and then led everyone to his house.

When he got home, Xiao Man quickly put things away, and then went into the firewood room to prepare for cooking, and Mrs. Wei followed Xiao Man into the firewood room, seeing everything novel.

Especially when she saw things such as bacon and dried vegetables hanging from the roof, she was even more surprised: "Are you all doing this?" That's amazing! ”

Xiaoman wiped his hands shyly, stood on the stool and took down a large piece of pork ribs, and said while chopping: "The girls in the village will do it, and this is not all done by me alone, Lu Li helped me a lot." ”

"Speaking of Lu Li, I really didn't expect that he and my father-in-law were old acquaintances, and it seems that our encounter was also destined by God." Mrs. Wei said with a smile.

Xiao Man nodded, and his movements became more and more neat.

Speaking of the word fate, Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan, who were eagerly talking in the house, also felt a lot of emotion, they met when they were young, and then Lu Li escaped to Bishui Village because he was tired of the court, and the two never saw each other again.

Now that Wei Xiuyuan has come to Taoyuan County, I don't know if it's providence or ......

Lu Li put down the teacup and frowned: "I remember that you were a good official in the capital, how did you come to this remote place now, could it be-"

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt and said with a smile: "No, it was me who got tired of the trouble in the capital after I got married to Wanrou, so I came here, don't think about it, I'm fine." ”

"That's the best." Lu Li lowered his eyes and said so, but he had doubts in his heart.

He is young and promising, and he is honest and filial, even if he and his wife are tired of the court, they should go to their hometown or where their parents are, how did they come here?

But his whereabouts are unpredictable, no one in the world knows that he lives in Taoyuan County, how did Wei Xiuyuan know? Could it really be that it's all just a coincidence?

Lu was puzzled, but Wei Xiuyuan's smiling appearance in his clothes seemed to be unprovoked, and he wanted to ask again, but he was afraid.....

Just when he was hesitating, Xiao Man's voice came from outside the door: "The meal is ready, you can eat!" ”

Forget it, Wei Xiuyuan is a permanent resident, and he will have the opportunity to ask him in the future.

Lu Li got up, "You're so sitting, I'll go and help Xiaoman serve dinner first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Xiuyuan chuckled lightly and teased: "Lu Li, I never thought that you would have such a side. ”

Lu Li, who has been as cold as ice since he was a child, actually had a day to help his wife serve food and rice, and no one told him, so he did it so consciously, in the past, this was something that everyone dared not think of.

"I didn't expect that people who used to say that they wouldn't get married if they were killed now have a wife." Lu Li coldly threw down a sentence, blocking Wei Xiuyuan with nothing to say.

As soon as Lu Li turned around and went out, Xia Wanrou appeared at the door, looking at her expression, she obviously heard what she had just said clearly.

Wei Xiuyuan's neck was cold, and he sneered: "Lady, I ......"

"You don't have to explain, I know." Xia Wanrou smiled and carried the corner of her skirt into the house, "In the past, you said that you wouldn't get married if you were killed, but you didn't meet someone you liked, and now you can marry me, which just shows that you really like me, right?" ”

After saying this, Wei Xiuyuan didn't have the slightest room to add, so he had to follow a flattering smile: "What the lady said is very true, that's why I'm like this-"

"But," Xia Wanrou interrupted him, pretending to be careless, "I seem to have heard my father-in-law and mother-in-law say that you don't seem to have ever thought of marrying me before, if it weren't for the persecution from your family, you probably wouldn't have married me, right?" ”

Wei Xiuyuan broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he explained dryly: "Wanrou, how can you listen to their nonsense, I have wanted to propose to you since the first time I saw you, as for my parents-"

"Huh?" Xia Wanrou interrupted again: "Then you want to marry me just after seeing me, don't you want to marry because you think I'm good-looking?" If one day you meet a more beautiful and beautiful woman than me, will you not marry her? ”

These words came suddenly, and Wei Xiuyuan, who was frightened, was speechless for a long time, and cold sweat broke out on his anxious forehead.

Xia Wanrou glanced at him with the tail of her eyes by drinking tea, looking at Wei Xiuyuan's appearance of wiping sweat repeatedly, and the corners of her mouth hooked an imperceptible arc.

At this time, Lu Li and Xiao Man entered the house with food, and the man glanced at Wei Xiuyuan, and couldn't help laughing: "One thing descends one thing, Xiuyuan, I can't imagine that there is someone who can cure your mouth." ”

He uncovered the chopsticks while handing them out: "I remember, when I was a child, we went to study together in a private school, and Xiu Yuan didn't bring it-"

"What do these old things do with it, eat first, eat." Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly interrupted and shifted the topic elsewhere: "Miss Su, the food you cook looks so delicious, Lu Li can marry you, it's really his convincing." ”

Su Xiaoman lowered his head embarrassedly, licked his lips, raised his lips and smiled softly.

Xia Wanrou glanced at Xiao Man teasingly, and her husband and wife echoed: "Xiao Man is good-looking and has good craftsmanship, who doesn't like it?" ”

As a result, Xiaoman's face turned even redder.
