Chapter 63: Gossip
Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, put her hands behind her back, pursed her lips, pursed a pale, and didn't speak for a long time.
A breeze blew, raising An Zeqing's wide and long sleeves, and his clothes fluttered.
Many readers prefer to wear narrow sleeves in order to make it easier to write and not to stain their sleeves.
An Zeqing was dressed in a cyan shirt, and the wide coat made him even thinner.
"The rouge in town is filled with your favorite orchid scent, and I bought a box." An Zeqing had never been so nervous as he was now, and he was uneasy in his heart, but he looked at Su Jiu'er with anticipation, for fear that Su Jiu'er would think too much, "I really don't mean anything else, I just remember that you like this ......"
Speaking of the back, An Zeqing's voice became lower and lower, and he didn't believe what he said.
He's lying.
He knew that Su Jiu'er liked orchid-scented rouge, and deliberately bought it to please Su Jiu'er.
As soon as Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er returned to the village, An Zeqing knew.
The rumors in the village that were unfavorable to Su Jiu'er were flying all over the world, and An Zeqing was worried that Su Jiu'er would be wronged, but he didn't expect that the two of them would come out of the Su family sweetly.
No matter what Su Jiu'er becomes, there is only one person he likes in his life, even if he can't marry her, as long as he can see her, he will already be satisfied.
Not everyone is so lucky to be with someone they like.
"Thank you."
An Zeqing's eyes were filled with joy, and he handed the rouge in his hand to Su Jiu'er.
"But I can't!"
Su Jiu'er looked at An Zeqing calmly, as if she was looking at a stranger, without any expression in her eyes.
"Why?"
The hand holding the rouge couldn't help but tremble, An Zeqing's back was cold, and the whole person was stunned.
"Rouge gouache, these things, Xianggong has already bought them for me." The corners of Su Jiu'er's lips twitched slightly, and the dimples on her cheeks loomed, "An Xiucai, this rouge, you still give it to other girls, Jiu'er is afraid that he will not be able to accept your kindness." ”
She once thought about seducing An Zeqing, fascinating him, and then throwing An Zeqing directly away when the time came.
This irrational thought had just come out, and it was strangled in the cradle by Su Jiu'er.
She wants to seduce and seduce her own father-in-law, and she can't do anything sorry for her father-in-law because of revenge.
"I'm older than you, we've known each other for a long time, so you just think it was given to you by your brother, isn't that okay?" An Zeqing lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at Su Jiu'er again.
He was afraid that the gossip in the village would hurt her, and he thought about giving her something to make her happy.
"But I only have one brother." Su Jiu'er's tone was steady, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her, "I'm sorry, you better go back early, if you let others see you at my door, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding among others, I don't want my husband to become the object of discussion in the village." ”
For a long time, An Zeqing felt that Su Jiu'er was forced to marry Gu Feng.
"Do you really, voluntarily marry him?" An Zeqing slowly withdrew his hand.
I had heard Su Jiu'er reject him countless times, but An Zeqing had never asked this sentence.
"Of course." Su Jiu'er said, with a warm smile between her eyebrows, "Otherwise, why would I marry him?" ”
That bright smile was like a dagger shining with cold light, stabbing An Zeqing's chest.
Su Jiu'er didn't bother to talk to An Zeqing anymore, and closed the door without hesitation.
The warm sunlight sprinkled on the earth, but it couldn't warm An Zeqing's broken heart.
Su Jiu'er returned to the house, took out the sewing basket, and began to embroider.
Only by doing more embroidery can she make money.
Just embroidered two stitches, remembering what An Zeqing just said, he lowered his eyes slightly, and felt a pity in his heart, obviously there was a better chance of revenge, but she couldn't use it.
In the evening, Gu Feng came back from outside, carrying a roe deer and many hares.
Su Jiu'er hurriedly put all the hares in the bamboo basket, cleaned them up, and then walked to Gu Feng's side.
"Xianggong, there are still so many hares on this mountain?" Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a puzzled expression, otherwise Gu Feng would not have caught a dozen of them this time.
"A lot." Gu Feng responded casually, stuffed his robe into the bamboo basket, carefully tied the exit, stood up straight, and clapped his hands, "There is no shortage of meat to eat this year." ”
"I used to marinate a lot of rabbit meat at home, but I haven't finished eating it yet." Su Jiu'er pursed her lips slightly, there were only two people between her and Gu Feng, but they couldn't eat so much meat.
Gu Feng walked to the water tank and was about to wash his hands, Su Jiu'er walked over with great eyesight and took a spoon first, helping Gu Feng prepare the water.
"Oh." Gu Feng pondered and said, "Otherwise, I'll go to several nearby towns in the future to see if I can sell all the rabbits." ”
Su Jiu'er didn't speak, her eyes swept over the dirty water in the wooden basin, and directly helped Gu Feng pour it out and scooped up a basin of water again.
"Xianggong, what if we raised all the rabbits?" Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Gu Feng and asked.
"You don't need to raise rabbits, there are a lot of them in the mountains." Gu Feng is only talking about the periphery of the mountain, and there must be more hares in the mountain.
"That's different." The smile on Su Jiu'er's face became even brighter, and she looked at Gu Feng as she washed her hands and handed the towel to Gu Feng neatly.
Gu Feng wiped his hands and looked at Su Jiu'er with a puzzled expression, "What's the difference?" ”
"If we raise it, the rabbit will not only have it this year, but also next year, and the year after ......." Su Jiu'er said this, her phoenix eyes flashed brightly, and she said coquettishly, "Then we will have money, and you don't have to go hunting in the mountains, we just sell the rabbits we raise." ”
"What about the grass?" Gu Feng felt that what Su Jiu'er said was the same thing, but thinking about it carefully, it made him feel awkward.
"Let's go back and buy a piece of land and plant grass directly." Su Jiu'er said with a serious face, followed Gu Feng towards the house, and sat on the bench beside Gu Feng softly, "Neither of us can grow crops very well, but it shouldn't be too difficult to grow grass!" ”
Gu Feng felt that what Su Jiu'er said was quite reasonable, and thought that it would be good if there were more people in the family, and there would be someone to help Su Jiu'er work at that time.
"But we don't have enough people." Gu Feng hesitated for a moment and said with a serious face.
Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, and the reality hit her hard, "That's what you said, I'm still listening to you now, we're too busy." ”
She wanted to hire someone, but she didn't feel at ease.
On the surface, the people in the village are very friendly, but in reality it is not like that.
Some people always have bad intentions, just like during the autumn harvest, many people secretly steal some of the good food grown by others.
In the countryside, everyone pays attention to the family, if something happens to one person, the whole family will come over to help, but Gu Feng is an outsider, and he is still a single household.
Single-family families are easily bullied because there is no family member to help.
The family has a little capital, but there is no one.
Su Jiu'er felt a little sad in her heart, it was really not easy for their family to get rich.
In the next few days, Gu Feng went up the mountain every day, and no other animals were killed, only rabbits.
Su Jiu'er was doing embroidery at home alone, and the speed was much faster than the previous one.
"Sister Jiu'er, are you here?" Ning Yue'er's voice called the door outside the door.
Su Jiu'er put down the embroidery work in her hand, walked quickly to the gate, and through the crack in the door, she saw that the person outside was Ning Yue'er, so she opened the door with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Su Jiu'er looked at Ning Yue'er with a smile and asked casually.
"A few days ago, I was busy with my brother in the field, and now I finally have the leisure to come and take a look at you and my brother-in-law," Ning Yue'er carried a basket in her hand and handed it to Su Jiu'er, "The eggs laid by the hens at home, grandpa asked me to bring some to you." ”
"How can this work?" Su Jiu'er said, subconsciously withdrew her hand, unwilling to carry the basket, and said busily, "How good are you to keep these eggs for money, what do you do for us?" ”
"Sold a lot." Ning Yue'er looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile, her voice was gentle, "Sister Jiu'er, you don't have to worry about us." ”
"Not really." Su Jiu'er said, waved his hand, and said seriously, "I bought a lot of eggs with Xianggong, and I can't finish eating them at home, we don't know when you send these to eat, if they are broken, what a pity!" ”
In the countryside, wasting food is intolerable, after all, many people eat the last meal and do not have the next meal.
"This?" Ning Yue'er looked at the basket in her hand and stood in place hesitantly, "Sister Jiu'er, just take it, we really don't eat it." ”
"We don't want it." Su Jiu'er said, her face gradually becoming serious, "If you still deliver things every day, I won't open the door for you next time." ”
Hearing Su Jiu'er say this, Ning Yue'er's face turned red and she hung her head slightly.
Su Jiu'er didn't like Ning Yue'er's pitiful things every day, that feeling was very uncomfortable, she thought Ning Yue'er was her sister, but Ning Yue'er regarded her as a benefactor.
In fact, the silver last time was earned by Gu Feng......
"Okay then, I'll take this back!" Ning Yue'er thought about it and agreed with a smile.
After that, Su Jiu'er pulled Ning Yue'er towards the house, and when Ning Yue'er saw the embroidery on the table, the expression on her face was stunned, and she said in surprise, "Sister Jiu'er, you embroidered it?" ”
"Yes."
"It's so beautiful, your hands are so skillful!"
Su Jiu'er smiled and said softly, "I'm fine embroidering at home." ”
"I really envy you, you can do anything." Ning Yue'er said this sincerely, thinking about the gossip in the village two days ago, and put down the things in her hand.
Ning Yue'er glanced at Su Jiu'er, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Su Jiu'er looked at Ning Yue'er's appearance and knew that she had something to say, so she put away the sewing basket and asked with a smile.
"Someone in the village said that you ...... with An Xiucai" Ning Yue'er pursed her lips, not daring to look at Su Jiu'er, let alone to continue.
