Chapter 83: Return the Ming Family's Old Mansion
The two women who were washing clothes here with the Guan family were probably better than the Guan family, the two had never seen Mingyue, and looked at Mingyue curiously, one of the women asked, "Huzi daughter-in-law, when did you have such a beautiful cousin daughter?" ”
Guan smiled and said, "This is the daughter of our Guming family, married to the Li family on the other side of our family." ”
Listening to Guan's introduction, the two ladies looked at Mingyue in surprise, and one of the women said in surprise, "This is the little daughter-in-law newly married by the Li family, who looks so smart, it's just a pity." ”
Mingyue listened to the conversations of several people, and she was looked at by several people, she really felt a little uncomfortable, lowered her head to wash her clothes, and outsiders looked like they were shy.
Guan Shi was next to Mingyue, and clearly saw Mingyue's slightly frowning brows, and hurriedly said, "Okay, hurry up and wash your clothes." ”
The woman, realizing that she had said the wrong thing, smiled apologetically at Guan, lowered her head and began to pound her clothes on the stones, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while, and the others did not speak again.
Guan on the side asked while washing his clothes, "Didn't Widow Wu wash your clothes before, why did you wash them today?" ”
Mingyue said, "Grandma went to the shop in the town, and the Wu family followed to take care of it, so I had to wash it myself." ”
Guan nodded, while washing clothes, chatting with Mingyue without a word, asking her how she was at Li's house, Mingyue responded while washing clothes, Guan finished washing first, and then helped Mingyue wash, only after washing the two got up and left together, but no one noticed this, and curiously came up to ask east and west.
Finally away from the river, Mingyue took a deep breath, "Finally finished washing." ”
Guan Shi on the side smiled and said, "Why don't you just wash your clothes, why are you so nervous?" ”
Mingyue told Guan Shi about what he met in the morning, and after listening to Mingyue, Guan Shi frowned and said, "Those two people are famous for their broken mouths in the village, and they often fight against each other, so you can see them walking around in the future." ”
Mingyue nodded, and Guan Shi, who was listening, continued, "Don't go to fetch water by yourself, I'll ask your cousin to come over and help you pick it up in the evening." ”
Mingyue asked uneasily, "Which cousin?" ”
Guan didn't understand Mingyue's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's your eldest cousin who came over." ”
It wasn't Erzhu's cousin who listened, Mingyue responded with a smile, "Thank you, auntie." ”
Guan sighed lightly, "Is it because of your second cousin's business, you don't want to go to our house?" It hasn't been since the last time. ”
Mingyue looked at Guan in surprise, "How does the eldest cousin know?" ”
Guan sighed and said, "Because of this matter, your second cousin and your second cousin quarreled, and everyone in the family knew about it, and your uncle and grandmother blamed themselves and said that they shouldn't agree to help Erzhu ask you, and your second cousin also went to the county seat to work in a fit of anger, and he didn't come back during this time." ”
Mingyue fell silent, she seemed to be the culprit, but she didn't know what to say about it.
Seeing that Mingyue was silent, Guan said comfortingly, "Things have come to this, it's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself." By the way, yesterday your eldest cousin went to your mother's house to help, and I heard that Xu Yuanwai has returned your house, do you know? ”
Mingyue raised her head in surprise, "What?" ”
Guan looked at Mingyue's expression, "Don't you know?" I don't know the specifics, but I heard your eldest cousin talking to your uncle and grandfather about this, and I listened to a few words. ”
This matter is really out of Mingyue's surprise, for what purpose did this Xu Yuanwai suddenly want to return the Ming family's house? If it was said that Xu Yuanwai was kind, she didn't believe it, even if they had so many people in Mingyue who had nowhere to go, and finally forced them to go to Daliang Mountain, she didn't see him show any kindness.
Could it be related to Li Yun's identity? Mingyue quickened her pace and said to Guan, "I'll go back to my mother's house in a while to see what's going on." ”
When they arrived at the fork in the road near their home, Mingyue said goodbye to Guan and hurried home.
Quickly dried the clothes in the barrel on the bamboo pole in the front yard, and Mingyue went straight to the backyard to find Li Yun.
Li Yun was drinking tea under a tree in the backyard, looking at Mingyue's hurried footsteps, thinking that something had happened to him when he went to wash clothes, and asked, "But what happened?" ”
Mingyue nodded, "It's true that something happened, I just met the cousin of the Zhao family while washing clothes, and I heard her say that Xu Yuanwai suddenly returned our family's old house." ”
Listening to Mingyue's words, Li Yun also frowned, "What does he mean by this?" ”
Mingyue pursed her mouth, "It's definitely not because he healed his son's leg and returned it in gratitude, I think nine times out of ten it has something to do with you, knowing that I married you, I returned the house to our family, it's a bit like pleasing you, what does your grandfather have to do with this Xu family?" ”
Li Yun thought about it carefully and shook his head, "My grandfather's family has always been in Yanjing, and they have never been to the far county town of Linzi, so it is impossible to have anything to do with the Xu family." ”
"Really?" Mingyue replied casually, and began to think, and then her eyes lit up, "This Xu family is equipped with a carriage, there must be someone in the family who is an official, will it have anything to do with your grandfather's family?" ”
Hearing Mingyue's words, Li Yun thought about it for a while, and then he knew it in his heart, and said, "Even if it has something to do with the Zhou family, the current Zhou family will not care about your family's affairs because of my relationship. But...... If it really has something to do with me, it may be related to some friends I met in the capital. ”
Mingyue rolled her eyes at Li Yun and said sarcastically, "With your temperament, you actually have friends." After getting along for a long time, Mingyue had already lost the fear she had when she first met Li Yun, and she complained about Li Yunlai, which was also taken for granted.
Regarding Mingyue's complaint, Li Yun was noncommittal, as if he didn't hear it, picked up the teacup on the stone table, and took a sip gently.
Looking at Li Yun, who was so calm in front of her, Mingyue pursed her mouth, "I'll go and make lunch for you first, and then go back to my mother's house to have a look." With that, he got up and went to the front kitchen.
Because Li Yun was at home, Mingyue was going out again, so before lunch, Mingyue and Li Yun ate lunch early.
After cleaning up, he greeted Li Yun, "I'm leaving, go over and take a look and I'll be back after a while." ”
Thinking of the previous tracking, Li Yun said with some unease, "I'll go back with you." ”
Mingyue pouted at Li Yun's leg, "My mother's house is now on Daliang Mountain, do you want me to carry you up with this leg?" ”
Li Yun's face was obviously a little colder, and Mingyue also found that what she said seemed to be a little excessive, so she quickly changed to a flattering smile, "Keep the opportunity first, and when my mother's family moves down the mountain, you can accompany me back, but you are not allowed to regret it." ”
Li Yun looked at Mingyue and instructed lightly, "If you encounter a follower, don't act rashly, if someone is unfavorable to you, according to what I taught you, urge the internal force on the bow and crossbow, and shoot it at close range." ”
Mingyue nodded, "I know, you said it when you just ate, I'll go first, bye." With that, he turned and walked out the door.
After leaving Dalu Village, Mingyue deliberately paid attention to it, and did not find anyone following, and was relieved.
When she arrived at Waishan Village, Mingyue first went to the foundation of the new house under Daliang Mountain, there were still many workers who were busy, and they had already begun to build the outer wall.
Seeing the square-faced middle-aged man over there who was a little familiar with the third uncle, Mingyue stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, aren't my third uncle and fourth uncle here?" ”
The man raised his head, saw that it was Mingyue, and said with a smile, "It's the moon girl, you just came back?" I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? The Xu family returned the house to your family, yesterday your family moved down the mountain, and today they are all tidying up, just your fourth uncle is here at the construction site, na, your fourth uncle is over there. ”
Mingyue replied with a smile, "I also found out early this morning, so I'll come back and take a look, I'll go to the fourth uncle to ask, uncle, you are busy first, I'll go over." ”
Ming Wenli was beating the stone with a sledgehammer over there, and the big stone, under his sledgehammer, was like tofu, and it turned into small pieces when the hammer went down, and the stones and stars were also flying everywhere, probably for this reason, there was no one next to him.
Mingyue looked at the stone stars flying everywhere, and was afraid that she would be injured by mistake, so she shouted "Fourth Uncle" from afar.
Ming Wenli listened to Mingyue's cry, stopped moving, turned his head and saw that it was Mingyue, so he dropped the sledgehammer and came over, "Yue'er is back?" ”
Seeing the fourth uncle coming, Mingyue asked anxiously, "I heard that Xu Yuanwai suddenly returned the house to our family?" ”
Ming Wenli nodded, "I didn't expect that he would actually return our house." ”
Mingyue asked, "Then did he say why he still wants us to stay in the house?" ”
Ming Wenli shook his head, "I didn't see him, but his subordinates came here to inform us, saying that they didn't want the house, and we could move back, I didn't believe it at the time, but when I looked at it, it was really vacated, and those who watched the house also left, I guess it was because Zhang Langzhong healed his son's leg." ”
Mingyue nodded, didn't say more, Mingwenli continued, "We have moved down from the mountain yesterday, and it is often your mother who stays on the mountain with a few children, and I am also a little worried, I have to have lunch, let's go, let's go back." ”
Mingyue looked at the workers who were still busy on the construction site, "What should I do here?" ”
Ming Wenli smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll greet them, and it's time to go home for dinner." After speaking, he shouted to the construction site, "Big brothers, let's go home for dinner first, and come back in the afternoon." ”
Listening to the words of Ming Wenli, the villagers who were busy on the construction site also put down their work and went home for lunch with a smile.
