Chapter 229 Don't look for a marquis
"Is Gu Dabao still here?"
Yu Xia suddenly asked.
Jiang Jiujiu nodded.
"How is he now?"
Thinking of Gu Dabao, Yu Xia sighed. Ben is a child of an ordinary family, he entered the Xuanmen for a reason, and he also took his sister to live, but in the end, something like this happened.
If he was just an ordinary person from beginning to end, wouldn't it be much easier?
"I've suffered a little, but I'm in a good mental state, do you want to go see him?"
Yu Xia shook her head, what she and Gu Dabao should have said had already been said before he was taken away in Dengyun Tower, and it was not necessary for her to go to see him now.
Yu Xia said goodbye to the Jiang brothers, and walked out of Daoyuan Hall the same way, and the shopkeeper of the feng shui shop in front saw her come out, and handed her a stack of cinnabar notes with a smile.
"Girl, it is difficult to purify the heaven and earth, but look at the heart, this stack of cinnabar notes is given to you, I hope that one day you can draw your own pure heaven and earth runes."
Yu Xia took the cinnabar note, thanked the shopkeeper, and left.
The three of them did not eat in the city, simply ate some dry food, and left Huailing before the city gate was locked.
Guoshu Village, Jintan County.
It was past midnight, but the sky was not yet bright, and the rising sun slowly dispelled the chill that had accumulated during the night, and no one wanted to be outside all the time. In a small farmhouse yard in the east of the village, it is very lively.
The gate of the courtyard was open, and inside were villagers working enthusiastically. Some carried water and mud, some carried bricks, and some sawed wood.
Yu Chun added firewood behind the kitchen stove, and the pot was boiling hot water, and when the billowing white mist came out of the edge of the lid, Yu Chun no longer added firewood to it, took a gourd scoop to scoop out the hot water, and poured it into the big copper kettle.
Yang Cuilian walked in from the outside, carrying a basket of freshly washed ingredients.
"Big girl, you can rest for a while, it's been a busy morning."
Yu Chun shook his head.
"So many people want to eat at home, how can you be busy alone, mother, go and greet those uncles and uncles, I'll do the work in the kitchen."
Yang Cuilian looked at her sensible and capable eldest daughter and smiled with satisfaction, then frowned again and said:
"Your sister doesn't know what's going on, she said she would come back in half a month, but it's been two days late, and she doesn't even see anyone, do you think something will happen?"
Yu Chun smiled and comforted:
"Mother, you don't have to worry, although my sister is young, her ability is older than ours, you see that she earned so much silver before and took it home, and she will let everyone live a good life in the future!"
Yang Cuilian still looked worried.
"When did I count on her to earn money, I didn't let her touch anything since she was a child, and I pointed to her to take care of her body honestly and not worry her family, but you look at her in the past few months...... I don't see anyone all the time, and I make some strange people, and I don't know what she's busy with outside......"
Seeing his mother's worried appearance, Yu Chun sighed, got up and took Yang Cuilian's hand.
"Mother, everyone has their own ambitions. Everyone will have their own path to follow. Although I don't know what my sister is doing, it's a great thing to think about, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the door to invite her, which should be the glory of our family. ”
"That's what I said, but the second girl, after all, is still young...... It's still a girl's family, and her reputation in our village is not very good, and it's not easy to say that people are afraid, and now she is not at home outside, how can she marry someone in the future......"
"You say, no matter how much she is appreciated by the county magistrate, she is just a girl's family, after all, what is the use of this? Can she find a good family and not ask her father and mother to worry about her? ”
Yang Cuilian said, complaining again.
"I don't think the county magistrate is quite out of tune, so old, I don't know how to ask other capable people to help when I encounter something, if I have to go to the countryside to find a little girl, I don't believe that he will give an order to the county magistrate, and I will be afraid that no one is available at hand......"
When Yu Chun heard Yang Cuilian say this, he immediately stretched out a finger and pointed at Yang Cuilian's lips, stopping his mother's complaining words.
"Mother, my sister has the ability, and it is reasonable to be appreciated by the county magistrate, if you want to say so, why don't you complain about Mr. Song, who took a fancy to his sister and let her study in the Dongyu clan? Why don't you blame your sister who wants to study? ”
"If my sister hadn't gone to school and didn't learn her skills, wouldn't she have been asked to help by the county magistrate? Won't you be out and about worrying your family all day? ”
Yang Cuilian sighed: "I, I really regret letting her go to the academy." ”
"Before, she was always stuffy at home, and she didn't like to go out to see people, although her body was weaker, and others were stranger to her, so under her nose, I was also relieved, but now like this, it really makes me have a heart hanging in the air, how can I not be sure."
Yang Cuilian said and said, with a sad look on her face, Yu Chun sighed secretly, raised a smile, took Yang Cuilian's hand and said coquettishly: "Mother, you have been worried about your sister since she left home, my eldest daughter is hanging in front of your eyes every day and I don't see you care, I'm sad." ”
As he spoke, he pursed his lips, and the word "unhappy" was clearly written on his face.
Yang Cuilian was amused by Yu Chun's appearance, and took Yu Chun's hand and patted it.
"Look at your ghostly appearance, even my own mother dares to joke, do I still need to worry about you?"
said and sighed, "I'd rather the second girl be like you, she is lively and generous on weekdays, but she knows how to be measured, she never does anything out of line, and she doesn't have to worry about everything." ”
The mother and daughter were talking in the kitchen, and the voice of Yu Erzhu who came over to do the work came from outside the door.
"There is a sister-in-law, your second girl is back!"
When Yang Cuilian heard this call, a flash of joy immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly ran out.
Yu Chun glanced at the hand that had just been thrown away by Yang Cuilian, shook his head with a smile, and followed out.
Yu Xia got out of the carriage and wanted to invite Lu Liang and Wu Changxing to sit at home and drink some water, but the two of them shook their heads when they saw Yu Xia's family coming and going.
"Look at your house like this, we won't go in and make trouble, and we'll finish the task by sending you back safely, and we'll go back."
Seeing that the two had no intention of staying, Yu Xia did not force it, thanked the two again, and said goodbye to them.
As soon as Yu Xia entered the house, Yu Erzhu, who was in the yard and muddy, saw her, greeted her warmly, and turned his head to the kitchen and shouted.
Yu Xia stood in the courtyard, looking at the brick wall of the thatched house that had been torn down, and was very happy, and then turned her head, Yang Cuilian ran out of the kitchen in a hurry.
