Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ten Baskets of Dowry

Zhuang Rou carried the grapes back to the small house in Douhu County, and she couldn't go back to the capital tonight, she felt that her brother would definitely nag again if he knew. But it's strange to say, my brother only said that she should come back early, but he didn't ask her not to be arrested.

It seems that my brother still thinks it's good for her to pass the time with a little trouble.

She rode back to the small mansion and found that the door lock was missing, so it couldn't be a thief, right?

I pushed open the door, and found that the light was on in the hall on the first floor, and there were figures shaking inside. Before she could go over to see if it was her brother, the door opened, Zhuang Xuewen looked at her with his hand in his cuff and said with a smile: "You came back so late?" ”

"Brother, if you don't go back, you can't live here?" Zhuang Rou looked at him with some curiosity, he didn't go home for so many days before, and now he didn't go back here.

Before Zhuang Xuewen could speak, a person flashed out of the room, raised his hand to hold on to the door frame and looked at her, and then said drunkenly: "Yo, this is your sister, and she is wearing a trapping suit, which is a bit interesting." ”

It was a tall man with a scumbag face, and although he was already drunk, his eyes were sharp and could not be concealed. Just standing at the door, there was a deterrent emanation, and the person standing behind Zhuang Xuewen was not a person, but a tiger with his head ready to attack.

"Brother, if you have friends, then I'll go upstairs first. This is the grape that the little county king gave me, I wanted to send it to my home tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to happen to be here. Zhuang Rou was not afraid of him, but looked at Zhuang Xuewen with a basket and said.

Before she could finish speaking, the man suddenly came, and the basket fell into his hand. The veil that covered it was lifted, revealing the grapes inside, and the man lifted the grapes and ate them without caring for others.

Zhuang Rou glanced down at her hand, when the basket was snatched away just now, she didn't even react. Then she looked up and saw him munching on the grapes, eating them so rudely that many of them fell straight down.

She frowned, pulled out the iron rod at her waist and rushed forward with an arrow, striking the man's hand. For the sake of his brother's friend, he won't hit his head directly.

Zhuang Xuewen took two steps back and got out of the way from the door, Zhuang Rou had already rushed to the man, and the iron rod hit his arm.

At this moment, the man's hand snapped and grabbed the iron rod, Zhuang Rou only felt that the iron rod in his hand was suddenly fixed, and he didn't move at all.

"What a spicy girl, but she's too weak." He squinted sideways, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Unable to pull out the iron rod, Zhuang Rou suddenly let go, and the person threw himself into his arms. The man held the grapes in one hand and the iron rod in the other, and smiled as he looked at her in his arms.

Bang!

Zhuang Rou jumped up and hit his head in the face hard, the man didn't expect her to hit people directly with her head, no matter how strong the force was, it was impossible to train her nose, and she suddenly felt that her nose was sour.

He put his hand down and tilted his head back to avoid a second attack. Zhuang Rou had already leaned down, caught the grapes with both hands, and jumped to the side to see that there was only half a bunch of grapes left.

Ignoring the scumbag man, she took off the broken part and looked at Zhuang Xuewen aggrievedly, "Brother, there is only half a string left." The little king said that grapes are now only available in the palace, and if you eat them now, one is worth a thousand gold, and I wanted to bring them back for you to taste, but now it has become like this! ”

Zhuang Xuewen sighed, walked into the room and touched her head and said, "It's okay, your brother knows, isn't there still half a string, don't worry about this drunk." ”

"What is worth a thousand gold, and those kings and grandchildren and nobles are just a treasure to bluff the people, and it is not a precious thing." The man covered his nose and said unhappily at this time, only to find that it was bleeding.

Zhuang Rou glanced at him, "Since it's not worth much, then you will pay me ten strings." ”

The man snorted and said disdainfully: "Not now, don't say ten strings in the future, I'll send you ten baskets." ”

"Autumn?" Zhuang Rou said coldly, it was the season when the grapes were ripe, and it was rare for anyone to have as many as they wanted.

The "......" man wiped off the nosebleed with his hand sleeves, and his tall body approached Zhuang Rou, and he suddenly felt a sense of oppression like a mountain, and even the light was blocked by his figure.

He propped up the wall with one hand, bowed his head and said, "How about I send you ten baskets as a dowry next spring?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he felt a knife-like gaze piercing him, squinted his eyes to the side, and saw Zhuang Xuewen in the shadow of the candlelight, his face and mouth like a demon, and his eyes were staring at him.

Suddenly, he only heard a bang, he only felt a huge pain in his crotch, and when he touched the young lady's words, he immediately grinned and gritted his teeth and hunched his waist and took a few steps back, holding on to the table and unable to speak.

"Brother, I'll go upstairs first, let this guy go early, the wine is too bad." Zhuang Rou put down the grapes, walked out of the room and went straight to the well, to fetch water and wash before going to rest.

I don't know where my brother got the bastard, it's so hateful, it's such a nasty person.

Zhuang Xuewen looked at him expressionlessly, and warned in a low voice: "Master Mo, that's my sister, if you are rude to her again, I will be polite to you." ”

Mo Zuo took a deep breath, stood up half a head taller than Zhuang Xuewen, and said unruly: "I really think Sister Ling is good, a gentle and virtuous woman is not suitable for my family, with her identity and status, marrying me is not a loss." ”

"Just your mess?" Zhuang Xuewen said coldly, "My sister doesn't look down on you anymore, so I don't need to mention this kind of boring thing in the future." ”

"It's okay if she hates me, aren't you her brother? As long as you agree, it's only good for you. Mo Zuo said stubbornly.

Zhuang Xuewen's eyes were cold, and when he was about to speak, Zhuang Rou had already washed his face with cold water, and was carrying a bucket of well water and preparing to go upstairs. Hearing his words, he stood at the door and poured a bucket of cold water over him, all of which fell on Mo Zuo.

Looking at him who was drenched in soup, Zhuang Rou snorted, "Now that you're drunk, I'll kill you if you talk nonsense." With that, he threw him away and turned away.

Mo Zuo watched her leave in a daze, the wine did sober up a lot, and after being silent for a while, he looked at Zhuang Xuewen and said with a serious face: "What I am looking for is this kind of woman, who can take on the responsibility of a family." ”

"She won't marry you, just the mess of your family, will I send my sister over to seek death?" Zhuang Xuewen said coldly.

However, Mo Zuo didn't care at all, but said cautiously: "You didn't say for sure that you didn't agree, plus Ling Mei's behavior, it should be up to her to decide who Ling Mei marries." As long as I conquer her with my heroism, I guess Ling Mei will not dislike my family, and even if she jumps into the fire pit, she will marry me without hesitation. ”

"Brother Wen is a reasonable person, I am very grateful for your help, but everything has to be said one yard at a time. If Sister Ling can marry into my family, we are relatives, isn't it a sentence to do what you want to do? ”

Zhuang Xuewen sat down at the table and showed a shallow smile, "Really?" Master Mo can try it and see if she is willing. ”

"Don't make trouble in the back, I will leave at sixteen, and Ling Mei will definitely agree to marry me before fifteen!" Mo Zuo said confidently.

"Seven days? Let's make a bet that if you lose, the Zhenguo General's Mansion will have to side with me. Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly.

Mo Zuo paused, "You actually made a bet with Sister Ling!" ”

Zhuang Xuewen picked up the wine jug and added wine to himself, and said slowly: "You are still reluctant, afraid that you will lose?" ”

Knowing that he was using the agitation method, but Mo Zuo was still willing to take it, it was difficult to find such a fierce woman now. If she is allowed to be in charge of the capital and is not afraid of her family being bullied here, her mother's temperament is really a little soft, which makes people feel at ease.

Although the stakes are bigger, the situation in Fuchu is not good now, and I can't stay for a few days. If he marries her, Zhuang Xuewen will also provide a lot of convenience, so he said: "Okay, it's decided!" ”

"Don't drink this wine, where is my room, recuperate and see Sister Ling tomorrow." Mo Zuo didn't drink anymore, and looked at the dusty appearance on his body, and felt that it was necessary to tidy it up.

Zhuang Xuewen asked rhetorically: "You climbed over the wall and went home to sleep by yourself, I originally wanted you to live here, but now you can't." ”

Mo Zuo didn't do it, "I was told to let me live here, and it was convenient to see my mother, and it was not easy to be noticed." Why do you regret it now, you clearly said that you won't make trouble behind your back. ”

Seeing that he was not convinced, Zhuang Xuewen stood up, opened the fan and fanned it, looked at him and smiled: "Okay, then share a room with me, my bed is big." ”

This guy!

Mo Zuo slapped the table boldly, gritted his teeth and said: "I have spent more time sleeping with the soldiers in the army, and I am afraid that you will not succeed!" ”

"Be honest with me at night, or I'll burn down the Zhenguo Mansion." Zhuang Xuewen threw down a warning and walked outside the house, this time should also be resting.

The two of them took off their shirts and bare shoulders by the well, lifted the vat of cold well water, and poured it from the head to wash and compare it secretly.

When they tossed below, Zhuang Rou had already gone to sleep, and he was not frightened by Shi Zang's execution to have nightmares, and slept until dawn.

When she got up in the morning and dressed neatly, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and went downstairs, wanting to wash her face with well water and go to breakfast after waking up, there are still a lot of things to do today, but she promised the little county king to find out this case clearly.

She was only halfway through when she froze on the stairs.

In the small courtyard downstairs, a man with his muscles exposed and covered with scars was practicing boxing there.

Looking at the handsome man with a cleanly shaved beard, sharp eyes in his twenties, and a heroic posture like a tiger, Zhuang Rou's face was blank. Who is this guy, and why is he practicing boxing bare-chested in his yard early in the morning?

However, his punches are really good-looking......

Mo Zuo finished punching confidently, and after closing his fist, he raised his head at Zhuang Rou, who was standing on the stairs in a daze, and showed a smile full of manly charm, "Sister Zhuang, under Mo Zuo, will be the one who will marry you." ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him in a daze, and suddenly screamed, "Brother! ”
