(xxxviii) Runaway brides
Zhang Qingting turned his face sideways and helped Zhang Xiaodie out the door.
The light was dim, and Zhao Wangshi saw that the girl had also combed her hair and smeared fat powder, but she didn't recognize it at once, so she walked up to the bride with a big grin, and stretched out her hand to lift the hijab, "Daughter-in-law, let my mother-in-law see how you are dressed?" ”
This time, Zhang Xiaodie was shocked into a cold sweat.
Zhang Qingting helped her take two steps back, entered a dark corner, lowered his head and mocked bitterly, "What? Is your son so sick that he doesn't even have the strength to lift his hijab? Do you want to do it for you? ”
When he said this, the drummers laughed, and the person who thought that Zhao Wang's was troublesome and slammed the door joked, "Aunt Zhao, even if you take off the hijab for your son, you can't replace the cave room?" ”
Zhao Wang's face was red and white for a while, "Which king is talking nonsense?" Lady, I tore his mouth! ”
Zhang Facai took the opportunity to make trouble, "If your son really can't do it, don't harm my daughter!" I won't pay back the money I robbed of our house! Now that my daughter is willing to marry, you will give me back the money!" ”
Zhao Wang Zhen Zhen said, "That's your daughter's dowry!" Are you embarrassed to let her marry in naked? ”
"Then are you embarrassed to marry a daughter-in-law empty-handed?"
"I'm out of the dowry!"
"Hey! I can tell everyone, she gave me a dowry of two taels of silver, but robbed me of a dowry of more than twenty taels of silver from our family! You say, "Is there such a family?" Still unreasonable? ”
Zhao Wang's family obviously reasoned for the loss, but quibbled, "You didn't earn that silver, it was your daughter who earned it!" She is now my daughter-in-law, and of course the money she earns belongs to me! ”
Zhang Qingting heard it harshly, and said in his heart that this old pious woman was more ruthless than the Zhang family! After earning money in the Zhang family, she can still use it freely, and when she comes to her house, it will be all hers. This kind of mother-in-law, who wants to be her daughter-in-law?
Those who wanted to settle the matter persuaded him, "Let's go!" It's not good to delay the auspicious time! ”
With such a gag, no one paid attention to the two of them, and a group of people hugged the bride and got on the sedan chair, Zhang Qingting saw that the eight-lift sedan chair used for this happy event was very wide, and he also sat in it when he saw that it was good, and Miss Zhang was lazy to walk.
The group of drummers were tossed for a few days, and they just wanted to finish the work quickly and collect the money, didn't they just carry more people? They didn't care about it at the moment, lifted the sedan chair, and strode towards Zhao's house.
The second elder of the Zhang family squeezed out two tears pretendedly, and after the ghost cried wolf for a while, when they saw that the team was far away, they also called out the gold and collected the troops, turned their heads and quickly settled the account, and ran to the carriage and horse shop to find the coachman.
The eldest daughter's explanation is not a little sloppy, they don't know about this sister's easy marriage, just thinking that if Zhang Qingting really marries the Zhao family, according to the Zhao Wang family's fierce strength, what else does their family have to live?
Anyway, the sisters of the Zhang family have come to the gate of the Zhao family in a sedan chair. The Zhao family did not invite guests, but when the neighbors heard the movement, there were many people who came to see the excitement.
The sedan chair was released, but the bride refused to come out.
Zhang Qingting said slowly in the sedan chair, "Why didn't you see my three brothers come out to greet them?" ”
Zhao Wang's heart said, you have arrived at my door, am I still afraid that you will run away? ordered Zhao Laoshi's two sons to come out to see the bride, and asked Zhao Yulan to go to the firewood room to release Zhang Jinbao and the other three.
As soon as Zhang Jinbao came out and looked at the sedan chair, he howled, "Sister! Eldest sister, you must not marry! This old witch is not a good person! You go! Come on! ”
"Daughter-in-law!" Zhao Wangshi interrupted him in a loud voice, "The person has been released, you get off the sedan chair!" ”
Zhang Qingting whispered a few words to Zhang Xiaodie, only to hear Zhang Xiaodie say in the sedan chair, "Sister, I'll go out first." According to the rules, the mother-in-law brother carried you off the sedan chair. Elder brother! Come here! ”
Zhang Qingting got out of the sedan chair and came out, Zhang Jinbao thought it was Zhang Xiaodie, and complained to himself, "How can you help outsiders?" ”
Zhang Qingting stepped on him, Zhang Jinbao was feeling strange, Zhang Qingting grabbed his ear and lowered his voice and said, "Don't delay the good thing of the eldest sister!" ”
Zhang Jinbao heard that the voice was wrong, and when he looked back, he was kicked forward by Zhang Qingting.
He wondered in his heart, before the eldest sister said that she wanted to act in a good show, how did she act in it? Forget it, let's go over and take a look! He came to the sedan chair and squatted down with his back to the door, "Sister, come out!" ”
Zhao Wang also saw something strange, and was about to take a closer look, but the drummer next to her pestered her to ask for wages, interfering with her vision.
Zhang Xiaodie was so nervous that her hands were trembling, and her heart was about to jump out.
Don't panic, don't panic!
She secretly encouraged herself, and when she pushed the sedan door, she pushed harder, and Zhang Jinbao leaned back a little, almost not being hit by a, causing everyone to laugh.
Zhang Qingting took the opportunity to walk up to the two little brothers and whispered, "Hurry up and go quietly and go to the river to find the carriage!" ”
Yinbao ingots looked up and took a closer look, isn't this a big sister? Stunned for a moment, they were pushed by Zhang Qingting, and immediately took action, the two children were thin and small, Zhang Qingting was covering in front again, they were sticking to the wall and quietly retreating in the dark, but they were not very noticed. What if you notice it? They weren't the protagonists of the wedding.
On that side, Zhang Jinbao stood up again, and Zhang Xiaodie took the opportunity to lie on his back and whispered, "I'm not the eldest sister!" I'm Fluttershy, let's wait for her to shout and run to the river! There are carriages! ”
Here, seeing that the two younger brothers had already left the crowd and began to run away, Zhang Qingting himself retreated out of the crowd quietly.
Zhao Wang's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly noticed that "Zhang Xiaodie" couldn't help but retreat, and shouted, "Bhoo! The second girl of the Zhang family, where are you going? ”
Zhang Qingting sneered in his heart, old pious woman, goodbye! She yelled, "Run!" ”
Zhang Jinbao got the order and rushed out with Zhang Xiaodie on his back!
These two fools!
Zhang Qingting immediately didn't have time to remind, so he grabbed a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and threw them out, "Pick up the money!" Pick up the money! ”
That's a lot of money! Immediately, whether it was watching the excitement or the drummers, they all bowed their heads and began to pick up money.
"Catch her!" Zhao Wang's suddenly realized! It turns out that this girl is Zhang Qingting! I'm so angry that I'm jumping to my feet! "Catch her!"
It's a pity that it's too late, Zhang Qingting retreated while throwing money and reminded, "Zhang Jinbao! Put Zhang Xiaodie down and run! ”
Yes! Only then did the two react, and Zhang Xiaodie quickly threw off her hijab and jumped off.
But it was such a pause, but he was firmly grasped by Zhao Wang, who was chasing the cicada in eight steps, "You two come back for me!" ”
The sister and brother glanced at each other, and simply dragged Zhao Wang's family to run together!
The scene is so messy!
Those who rob money, call mothers, and play Taiping boxing in the middle to watch jokes, squeezed into a pot of porridge. The black light was blind, and the Zhao family only heard Zhao Wang's shouting, but the figure disappeared in an instant, God knows where it went!
And that group, the advantages of the Zhang family's ability to run are fully demonstrated, even if they are dragging a Zhao Wang's family, their pace is not slow at all.
Zhao Wang's body was thin and small, no match for the two young people, and he was dragged for a while, but he was so old that he was so tired that he couldn't breathe.
"You two little bastards, stop!"
"You old witch, let go!"
As a result, the little bastard refused to stop, and the old witch refused to let go. Pulling and pulling all the way to the lake, the two little ones ran to the lake early, Zhang Qingting also arrived for a while, turned his head and looked, my God! How did you bring that old pious woman too!
Seeing that there were still pursuers behind him, Zhao Wangshi gasped and said, "You guys! You can't run! She still clung to the two of them and didn't let go.
Zhang Qingting immediately decided, "Drag her up together!" ”
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Wang's body was involuntarily dragged into the car.
"Let's go!" Miss Zhang gave an order, and the coachman didn't know what was going on, anyway, he collected money from people, did things for others, and drove the carriage away happily.
The black carriage soon disappeared into the black night, and the people behind chased for a while, unable to see which direction they had run to, and turned around and went to Zhao's house to ask for wages.
Leaving Zhao Wang's family, how can they stand up to the commotion of these men, and they are forced to ask for the money for two times of work.
Because this Bei'an country is mainly nomadic, unlike Nankangguo, it is a town, surrounded by a city wall, they just set up roadblocks on a few avenues, for inspection, like from Zalanbao to Xiamubao twenty miles away, the people are simple, and it is late at night, there is not even a checkpoint, so this family is very convenient to take the chattering and scolding Zhao Wang's to the place.
On the second watch, he entered the town.
The family is together, and there is no need to look for an inn, just see a relatively clean store on the street and stop, send the coachman away.
Zhang Qingting didn't go in to stay, she thought carefully, afraid that the coachman would go back to ventilate and report the news, so she found another inn before going in to live. Ming'er threw Zhao Wang's family down early in the morning, and their family left quickly.
Zhao Wang's scolding was tired and he lost his spirit, and he was carried into the room by the Zhang brothers and sisters.
It's so late, and the inn has nothing to pick and choose from, Zhang Qingting let them make a pot of noodles, and the family eats it separately. That Zhao Wang's family didn't give water and rice, and deliberately starved her.
"Stink...... Stinky girl! Give it to me...... Pour a glass of water! "It's okay to be hungry, Zhao Wang's family ran and scolded, his throat was almost dry and smoking, and even the words he scolded were like breaking a gong, and he was weak.
Zhang Qingting sneered, "Since it's a stinky girl, of course it's not so kind!" ”
Zhao Wang's gritted his teeth with hatred, so he had to keep silent and save his strength.
Zhang Qingting was also tired, so he went back to his room to rest, and asked them to tie Zhao Wang's hands and feet and guard them in shifts.
She fell asleep here, but Fluttershy couldn't sleep over there. The note rested in her bosom, as if she were carrying twenty-five little rabbits, scratching her heart with a hundred claws.
Now that the family is complete, she has nothing to fear. Zhang Luo and his two younger brothers were already snoring, and Zhang Xiaodie secretly called Zhang Facai and Zhang Jinbao up, gathered in a corner, and told them about it.
After hearing this, the two fathers and sons were also dumbfounded, "Really? ”
Zhang Xiaodie pointed to the note and said, "It's all clearly written on it!" It's not my nonsense! If you don't believe me, find a literate one to read to you! ”
"Big sister really wants to leave us?" Zhang Jinbao was still a little incredulous, "But she's been very good to us recently!" ”
"It's just great!" Zhang Xiaodie said, "You didn't notice? The eldest sister hasn't scolded us lately! She always gave us meat at every meal, she had never been so good before! ”
That's just as well! Zhang Facai frowned and pondered, "Your eldest sister has been a little bit wrong recently. Do you remember, she said it several times before, regardless of what we said, and although she didn't mention it later, she didn't say that she would care about us. That day, she also said that she wanted us to work, and we couldn't sit and eat empty mountains or anything, so she had the idea! ”
After comparing it before and after, they all thought it clearly, Zhang Qingting really didn't want to care about them. So what to do?
"I have a way!" Someone spoke up.
