(202) Thoughts in the birthday gift

The Liu family didn't know how he returned to the Zhao family in a daze. Others only saw her plain white face, three points like a person, seven points like a ghost.

The Zhao family wants to send her away? So gentle Sven, who always treats her politely, wants to send her away? Did he send himself away? Where can you go? Do you want her to marry someone and marry someone again?

Liu's mind was buzzing, and she didn't know how long she sat on the edge of the kang, only to wake up when she heard her daughter's crying after wetting, and hurriedly changed the child's diaper.

I was thinking about it, but I saw the sound of the courtyard door, it was Zhao Wang's family and they came back.

Hurriedly greeted her, Zhao Wangshi saw that her face was not good, and he was a little suspicious, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Shi reluctantly smiled, "I accidentally let Ya'er urinate on the kang, and I'm cleaning it up!" ”

Oh! Zhao Wangshi didn't ask any more questions, Liu Shi was more cautious than usual to make a fire to cook, but in the end he was still distracted, grabbed an extra handful of salt when stir-frying, and dropped a plate when washing dishes.

Zhao Wang's family was very displeased. "What's going on with you today? Confused, is it impossible to be a thief? ”

If it was usual, the Liu family didn't go to his heart, but today is different, and suddenly his face swelled with purple and he was embarrassed and sweaty.

"Forget it." Zhao honestly persuaded her, anyway, she couldn't stay at home for a few days, so she had to get by! Zhao Wang's family just thought about it.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Liu didn't mention going to the alley anymore, and went back to the room to take a nap with Ya'er, but where could she sleep? While gently patting the child, he seriously thought about the way out in the future.

I have informed the Golden Tooth Woman, it seems that Zhao Chengcai really wants to send her away, but she also moved that mind at first, it is really embarrassing! But he didn't make a mistake in front of him, why did he just not tolerate himself, so he wanted to drive himself away?

Liu Shi was puzzled, and suddenly remembered the situation when Zhang Qingting spoke to her that day, and his heart moved, I'm afraid that she didn't want to take her away, right? There are many words that say that she has offended people in their family, and she is the only one. It must have been because she saw that she came out to speak that day, and she was born beautiful, so she was jealous, and then fanned the yin wind and ignited the ghost fire in front of Xiucai, so that he wanted to send herself.

The more you think about it, the more likely it is! The Liu family put all the resentment on Zhang Qingting's head, gritted his teeth and cursed endlessly, but he was even more worried. What can I do after that?

She is remarried, and she is dragging a little girl, where is there a serious and good person who wants her? is to be her, and she is nothing more than a yellow-faced woman who is a poor farmer, and she has never had a bright day after working hard all her life. If you don't marry an old man in your seventies and eighties, if you want to be a yellow flower girl, it is probably impossible to pick and choose a proud posterity.

If he hadn't met Zhao Chengcai, the Liu family would still be able to accept such an opportunity, and even feel lucky, but once people have a comparison, they will have a lot of unwillingness.

With her being a pig killer girl, she can be a talented lady, and she has to have such a big alley and horse farm, how can she be inferior to her, so she has to live in the sky and underground?

If you want to drive me away, I won't go! Liu's anger wanted to cheat. But if you really want to stay, how can this nameless and participular person be kept? Even if it can be delayed for a while, it will not be delayed for a lifetime. Liu thought about it, but he didn't have a serious idea, and Liu frowned. Fang's heart was crushed, and Zhang Qingting hated it to the bone.

In the afternoon, Zhao Chengdong really followed his mother's instructions and came back early. Zhao Wangshi asked him to take a bath again, and the family of three changed their clothes and cleaned up neatly, and then went to celebrate Zhang Qingting's birthday with a gift.

Before going out, he instructed Liu, "Guard the door, don't sleep to death, leave a lamp!" ”

Liu lowered his head and responded, and he didn't have the heart to ask to do it.

Zhao Chengdong smiled politely, "Do you like to eat dim sum?" I'll go to my brother and get some for you!" It's my sister-in-law's birthday, and I've definitely done a lot of good things. ”

It turned out to be the birthday of the pig killer! Liu snorted coldly in his heart, and he is not afraid of losing your own life! smiled perfunctorily at Zhao Chengdong, shook his head and said no need, and quietly returned to the house.

Zhao Wangshi saw that she was suddenly so honest, but he was a little unaccustomed, "What's wrong with this woman?" Isn't it sick? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Zhao Chengdong said with a smile, "When people talk, you suspect that they are making trouble, and if they don't speak, you suspect that they are sick, this is really difficult to be a person!" ”

Zhao Wang glanced at him, "I will say good things for that little hoof!" However, I can't say how many days I can! ”

"How?" Zhao Chengdong does not know the details yet.

Zhao Wang's family said that he was going to send her away, Zhao Chengdong felt a pity in his heart, but the eldest brother was there, and he didn't dare to offend, so he only teased in front of his mother, "Really don't stay?" Sister-in-law Liu is actually a very good person, and she doesn't need money to work! ”

How did the son raised by Zhao Wang's own family not know his temperament? Glancing at him, "Is that a way?" Your brother is right. Look at you these days. Seeing her is like a fly seeing, it's better to send her away early, and settle quietly! It's just that you want someone to come again, your brother said, let's get it done tomorrow and the year after tomorrow! ”

Zhao Laoshi said diligently, "Two days ago, the steward sent someone to measure the house, and went back and said that he would draw a picture and then rebuild the house for us!" It's going to be there this year, and you can think about buying some furniture and talking to your mother. ”

Zhao Chengdong was happy when he heard this, threw away those displeasures, and pestered Zhao Wang's family to ask for this and that.

Zhao Wang's face was tense for a long time, and finally he couldn't stand his son's dead face, and finally smiled, "Don't arm your mother, don't you see me still holding something!" ”

"Baby, you want to hold it like this?" Zhao Chengdong was very curious, and he didn't even know Zhao Laoshi.

Zhao Wushi raised his chin, "This is a serious good thing!" Don't touch your dirty hands! She suddenly remembered something, "Oh, the child's father, the existing materials are going to change the furniture for us, so we simply add the things that have become relatives together!" So as not to spend that money a second time. ”

Zhao honestly thought it was very good, "It's true, anyway, it's been a matter of the past two years." It's not easy for Chengcai and his daughter-in-law to earn two dollars, isn't this house also renovated? It's better to take advantage of this time to get it done, and almost add it when the time comes. ”

Zhao Chengdong heard that he was going to buy his own utensils, and he was even more happy, and he happily bought them by name, "Do you want the same furniture as my brother's new house?" Mother! ”

Zhao Wangshi pursed his lips and smiled, "Your child still took your brother's blessing, do you see what our family had when your brother got married?" It's a big difference to you! You have to remember that your brother is good, and I'll ask you how much those things cost when I go back. Except for the bookcase, you can't use it, and the rest will be added to you! ”

Zhao Chengdong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and threw the Liu family out of the clouds. I only look forward to my beautiful wife and beautiful family, and I am dressed in gorgeous houses.

Arrived at the new alley, Zhang Facai had already received the shop, leaving only a small door for people to enter and exit, the large living room first set a table of refreshments, the family except for a few people who worked in the racecourse have not returned, the others are in, is looking at the silver treasure ingots and Niu Dewang three people wrote the words and couplets, the head of the argument.

The birthday star wore a light pink silk base today, a light green placket summer shirt, and a pomegranate red skirt, which was very fresh and elegant, and brought a little joy.

Everyone said that it was good-looking, but Zhao Wang's was picky as soon as he saw his face, "It's too plain, why don't you get a red dress to wear?" ”

Zhang Qingting raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

Zhao Chengcai took the gift box from his mother's hand before the morning, "This good thing? Mother, you still wrap so tightly! ”

Zhao Wang's family didn't allow him to take it, and only summoned Zhang Qingting, "Daughter-in-law, go and clean up a clean incense case in your house, you personally wash your hands and put it on!" ”

Zhang Qingting wondered, did he invite the God of Wealth back for her?

Everyone watched curiously, and when Zhang Qingting invited the object of the red silk bag to the incense table under the strict gaze of Zhao Wang's family, and opened it, his face was flushed to the root of his ears.

The statue is not fake, but it is not the god of wealth, and a white porcelain Guanyin monk, holding a small doll in his arms, is smiling.

Zhao Wangshi was very proud, "I specially invited this Zi Guanyin, and I also sent it to the temple to open the light!" Daughter-in-law, you are so good for life, three pillars of incense in the morning and evening, and you will be able to bless you to open up branches and leaves for our Zhao family as soon as possible. Passing on the lineage! ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh there. Especially Zhao Chengcai, he was laughing to the root of his ears, Zhang Qingting glared at him angrily, his eyes were about to burst into flames, but he didn't know what to say.

was embarrassed, and suddenly heard the girl downstairs Xiaoyu shouting, "Brother Xiucai!" My aunt is here! ”

Everyone came out to take a look, and sure enough, Aunt Niu rushed back, but it happened to be this birthday. Hearing this, Aunt Niu immediately picked up a pair of gold chunzi in her hand and gave it to her as a birthday gift, "You young people may like this way, since I gave it to you, I took it and changed it myself, but don't be embarrassed!" ”

Zhang Qingting was very grateful, and thanked Zhao Chengcai for a long time.

Niu Dewang was happy to see his mother, and chattered about the things in the school, but Zhao Yulian was sensible, "Wang'er is obedient, my aunt has been running for most of the day, she must be tired, let her go back to rest first, wash her face and change her clothes before talking!" ”

Niu Dewang recently heard the story of Twenty-four Filial Piety, so he took the initiative to propose, "Then I'll pour water and tea for my mother!" ”

Aunt Niu was overjoyed when she heard this, and took him back to clean up first.

Here, Zhao Chengdong also presented a pair of sachets and gave his sister-in-law a birthday, and everyone waited for the people from the racecourse to come back and have a banquet together.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zizhan suddenly came to visit in an official sedan chair, and Zhao Chengcai hurriedly greeted him. eminent

Zizhan looked at the situation of their family, "You are going to do a happy event?" ”

Zhao Chengcai said, "Humble Jing's birthday, a little celebration." ”

Mencius smiled, "That official came by coincidence!" "One side ordered someone to send a bronze mirror, it turned out that this is the government to the big families who are willing to pay for cattle and horses to fund the water, and the back is engraved with the words "benevolence and virtue", which is a small compliment.

Zhao Chengcai took it respectfully with both hands and immediately placed it in the middle of the lobby.

Mencius said with a smile, "Since Mrs. Zun is on her birthday, the official can't come to congratulate empty-handed, please borrow pen and ink." ”

Zhang Qingting hurriedly instructed his younger brothers to take out pen and ink and rice paper, and Mencius chose a moderately sized sheet with a splash of ink. Because it was summer, I drew a picture of a lotus carp and added a small dragonfly to spread its wings.

Seeing that everyone was laughing and silent, Mencius was stunned, "This painting is inappropriate?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with this painting, it's just ......" Zhao Chengcai took the silk handkerchief from Zhang Qingting and unfolded it, "This is a birthday gift made by the little sister, but it is similar to what the adult painted." ”

Meng Zizhan couldn't help laughing, "That's the official picking up people's teeth!" ”

After finishing the painting for a while, he stamped his private seal, and then said goodbye to send the bronze mirror elsewhere.

Zhao Chengcai sent him out of the door, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Jinbao driving the carriage and carrying Fang Mingzhu and Zhang Xiaodie back, "Ah Li is still behind, saying that he wants to pick up a gift, let's come first!" ”

What does he want to send? Zhao Chengcai welcomed his younger siblings into the house, suspicious in his heart.

Yan Bowen had already given everything he had, and made a generous gift for Zhang Qingting, and was rushing to her house, but he bumped into the new magistrate and his party head-on, in order to facilitate the exchange, he deliberately rode the flame and sat high on the horse, so that people could see it very clearly.

Meng Zizhan sat in the sedan chair, put the sedan curtain and couldn't see it, but suddenly heard the always quiet Qingbai suddenly exclaimed, "Second son Yan!" ”

His heart sank, and he immediately lifted the sedan curtain, his eyes collided with Yan Bowen, and for a while, the faces of both of them changed color. One is green, one is white. The green one is Mencius Zhan, and the white one is Yan Bowen.

"Get off the sedan car!" Qing Song shouted for his master.

Meng Zizhan waved his hand, staring at Yan Bowen with fixed eyes, and ordered, "Find a quiet place!" ”

Qing Song immediately led the officials to the riverside woodland, Mencius Zhan's official sedan chair was in front, and Yan Bowen lost his soul and followed him like a walking corpse.

Finding a quiet place by the river, Qingsong took the official to guard from afar, and Qingbai followed three or five steps away to serve.

Yan Bowen met another former friend, a young companion. But as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was miserable, "Zizhan ...... Right...... I'm sorry! ”

Mencius snorted coldly, "If I could, I'd rather be standing here today and say sorry to your good big brother!" ”

"Really......" A thousand words choked in his throat, but he was so weak. Yan Bowen's eyes were sad, like a little beast praying for relief, "I'...... I've lost everything......"

"But you at least have your life!" Meng Zizhan completely lost his usual calmness and self-control, his originally heroic face was full of pain, and tears appeared, "But what about my brother!" Zi Wei! Give him back to me! ”

"I'm sorry!" Yan Bowen's red eyes and self-blame were so distorted that his heart was twisted, and the condensed scar burst out again, dripping with blood.

"Seventeen! He's only seventeen! Mencius roared angrily, "You are seventeen years old, but you have lost three years of freedom, degraded to commoners, expelled from your home, and lost your glory and wealth!" But you lived, you passed the age of eighteen, the age of nineteen...... You can live for a long time in the future! Even if your family doesn't know about you, they can at least worry about you and pray for you, because they know that you are still alive! But what about Ziwei? He'll be seventeen forever! Our family can only pray to the god of heaven and one god, praying that he will be reincarnated as soon as possible and have a smooth life! It's been three years, and every New Year's Day and his birthday, our family has never heard laughter and laughter! The old grandmother is so old, when she arrives, she will cry, she will talk about her favorite little grandson, and she will always be seriously ill because of excessive sadness! Can you imagine the pain and suffering? Have you ever had one in your family? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Yan Bowen covered his face in pain, "Zizhan! I really...... It really wasn't meant to! ”

Meng Zizhan laughed bitterly, "You didn't mean to, but you suddenly got drunk and had sex that day, and took his life?" You're best friends! Or a brother of righteousness! I've asked myself this question countless times, but I can't come to a conclusion! Can you tell me what the hell was going on that day? ”

Yan Bowen turned his face away, and couldn't bear to listen, "I really don't know!" We just drank a jar of wine that day, and we didn't know how to drink it and got into a fight......"

Meng Zizhan shook his head, "I don't want to listen to this sentence, I've heard this sentence countless times!" Neither of you is a shallow person, how can you drink a jar of wine and fight completely without knowing the proportions? ”

"But that's how it was that day!" Yan Bowen's face was full of sorrow and guilt, "That jar of wine was dug out from under the tree in front of us to open the mud seal, I don't know why there will be a problem!" In the past, every year, on Ziwei's birthday, I would dig a jar of old wine and invite him to drink, but I didn't know that the wine was particularly strong that year! ”

Mencius looked up to the heavens and sighed, "Is this fate?" It is not you who died for it! But if it's my son? ”

"Zizhan, kill me!" Yan Bowen's heart was so painful that he couldn't do it enough, "I can die in your hands, and I also have the face to see Ziwei!" ”

Mencius smiled bitterly, "What's the use of killing you?" If I kill you and resurrect Ziwei, I will not hesitate to kill you! You have to live, live with pain, live and repent to your son for the rest of your life! ”

Bearing his merciless curse, Yan Bowen did not refute anything, indeed, he is a sinner, and he is destined to live with pain in this life.

Mencius collected his emotions and asked him instead, "Where do you make a living now?" ”

Yan Bowen told the truth, and Mencius Zhan sneered, "I really don't know if there is a providence in the dark, I will come here today, and it is all thanks to your good big brother!" If you let him know that if you put me, the great enemy, next to your favorite brother, you say, will your eldest brother have trouble sleeping? ”

It doesn't matter what Meng Zizhan said about himself, but when it comes to the eldest brother who has always loved him the most, Yan Bowen can't accept it, "Zizhan, my fault is all my fault, it's none of my eldest brother's business!" ”

Hum! Mencius sneered, "Do you really think it's none of your eldest brother's business? It's been three years, I remember this hatred, and your eldest brother remembers it too! I hate that our family refused to spare you at that time, and you were expelled from the house, but it really didn't make us feel better in the past few years! But why have our Meng family ever been afraid of your Yan family? If he wants to fight, we will fight with him, and it is difficult to say who will kill the deer! ”

"But Zizhan ......"

Yan Bowen just wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Meng Zizhan, "In the past few years since you left, a lot of things have happened, and many things are no longer just the personal grudges of you and me. ”

Yan Bowen's heart sank, of course he understood the implication of this, that is, it was a blatant indication that the two of them had become political enemies, but it was not something that he could resolve with one death.

Mencius looked at him coldly, "Since the Yan family doesn't recognize you anymore, you should be your own groom!" But don't do anything at my hands, or I won't spare you!" ”

Yan Bowen bowed his head silently, speechless. Who are you? is just a prisoner who has been released from prison after completing his sentence, and he will bear the mark of a pariah for the rest of his life, and all the honor and disgrace of life and death will be in the hands of others. And what about anything else?

Meng Zizhan turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and coldly sprinkled a handful of salt on his wound, "Do you remember the third young lady of the Hou Ning family in Yongchang?" ”

Of course, I remember that it was also a playmate since childhood, and the atmosphere of Bei'an was bold, and there were many contacts between aristocratic young men and women during festivals and birthdays, and they were all familiar with each other. Yan Bowen was just strange, he thought he would suddenly have this question.

"The ** people were drinking in the backyard, Miss Ning San was changing clothes and passing by, and then such a big incident happened, everyone was talking about it, and the gossip all over the city forced a sixteen-year-old girl into the nunnery and led her to practice!" Meng Zizhan's gaze seemed to be two knives, trying to cut him into his heart, "Yan Bowen, you have created more than one evil!" ”

Mencius had been gone for a long time, and Yan Bowen was still standing there in a daze, looking at the rolling river, and there seemed to be a thunderous voice in his heart that kept shouting, "You are a sinner!" You're a sinner! ”

I don't know how long it took, a gust of evening wind blew, and he was full of excitement, and walked towards the flames with a stiff body, and there was a bag hanging on the side of the saddle, which contained a new set of riding clothes, which was given to Zhang Qingting's birthday gift.

Carmine brocade, with silver-white edges, just looking at the style, it is clear that ** people, if you wear it, you must be more radiant. When ordering, he patiently explained every detail to the tailor little by little, and carefully compared the size and size.

He had imagined countless times how clean and heroic Zhang Qingting would be if he wore this set of clothes. But now, he held this new set of clothes, as if holding all his desire and enthusiasm for love, extremely reverent, extremely careful, and finally resolutely threw into the surging river, letting the waves easily roll away.

He was a sinner who killed his friends of the same age, and caused an innocent woman to have to stay with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a long time, and she was lonely all her life. So is he still qualified to expect the right to love and be loved?

Yan Bowen got drunk, not because of drinking, but even more drunk than drinking. He galloped his horse on the boundless meadows, until both men and horses fell to the ground from exhaustion, and then closed his eyes in the night and fell into a deep sleep.

The night covered the expression on his face, but it could not hide the low voice like a wounded wolf's howl, and the mournful forbearance penetrated the heavy ink, and the smell was heartbreaking.
