Chapter 216: Ah Xiu in Siping
Early in the morning, Sister Li Yue looked at the gloomy sky, the weather has been like this for the past few days, it seems to be snowing, this snow, there are fewer vegetables, thinking, Sister Li Yue plans to take advantage of the snow has not fallen, sell more vegetables at home, so, she went out with a vegetable basket, went to the vegetable market, bought winter vegetables, and went to Zheng Tu's meat case to buy pork belly, roast Dongpo meat to eat, Zheng Dian likes to eat this dish the most, this guy is no meat and is not happy, but fortunately, when he was a child, he had a second uncle at home who killed pigs, and it was no problem to eat some pork, otherwise, What farmer can afford to raise someone like him?
After buying vegetables, Sister Li Yue didn't stay much, so she went home with a basket of vegetables, and when she was fast into Wudou Lane, Sister Li Yue saw the flower matchmaker woman coming out of the small lane in Siping on the opposite side, and she was angry and ran into Sister Li Yue.
"Aunt Hua, where are you looking for, what kind of ghost is this?" Sister Li Yue said hello.
"What's wrong with me, don't you just live with a mouth, you say that this person, if he is unlucky, he will be unlucky, and he still has to put on the appearance of that big lady, I will tell them a family business, if you don't agree, don't you have a good face for me?" As soon as she saw Sister Li Yue, Aunt Hua complained of bitterness.
"Who?" Sister Li Yue asked, Aunt Hua'er had a brainless meal, where did she understand anything.
"Originally, the cousin Miss Ah Xiu in Cao's house, ah, she was not a serious lady, her family was also from a Cao Shang family, but the old lady of her family was the wet nurse of the Three Kings Mansion back then, and her aunt was able to marry Cao Steward, her aunt Mrs. Cao liked Ah Xiu because she had no one to talk to, so she asked Ah Xiu from her father's hand, took her with her, and raised her for many years. Take another 10,000 steps back, now that Steward Cao has been exiled, I don't know if I can come back in this life, their Cao family is no longer the Cao family of the past. Even Ah Xiu's father and mother were also implicated, and the business at hand was all gone, and her father and her brother are now pulling fiber, and they are still pretending to be a big lady. I don't know that a phoenix with wings is not as good as a chicken. "The words of the flower matchmaker are not very good.
After swallowing the foam, the flower matchmaker continued: "I kindly told Na Axiu that he is a family member, a military household in the guard station on the edge of our tunzi, and the lady in the family died of illness a few years ago. (.la marshmallow) has saved some money in the past two years, and I don't know where to know this Ah Xiu, so I started to think. Tell me to be a matchmaker. Although she is a dead mother-in-law, she is not too old, less than thirty, and when she is strong, she suffers hard, and she is afraid that she will not have a good life in the future, but Mrs. Cao. As if I had insulted them with this proposal, I didn't give them a good look, I didn't pour a cup of tea, I didn't give a stool, and I just kicked me out and made me angry. The flower matchmaker crackled and vented.
"Aunt Hua, don't say I don't speak for you, it's no wonder that they were raised as young ladies since they were children, can they be the same as the girls from peasant families? Moreover, I know the military household you mentioned, although it is not thirty, but it is also twenty-nine, there are two babies in the family, and the girl Axiu is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Sister Li Yue was buried in the road.
She knows in her heart what kind of person the matchmaker is, this is obviously to see that the Cao family has lost, and she is a bit of a bully.
"Hehe, look at what Mrs. said, the man is also sincere, and now that their family is implicated in the Three Princes' Mansion, who else dares to provoke it, the military household really likes to be ruthless to the Axiu girl, so he asked me to be a matchmaker regardless of suspicion." The flower matchmaker said with a stupid face.
Then he raised his eyebrows again: "I think Mrs. Cao has another idea." Saying that, the flower matchmaker quietly glanced at Sister Li Yue again, and then curled the corners of her mouth and said, "I heard that Mrs. Cao and Miss Axiu can live in the house in Sipingli, and it was arranged by Lord Zheng?" ”
When Sister Li Yue heard the words of the flower matchmaker, she obviously had something to say, but she smiled and said: "I know, at the beginning, when the three kings were in power, Steward Cao led people to surround my Zheng family, and Steward Cao did not commit any crime against Zheng Jiaqiu in his affection, but now that he has suffered something, I promised Steward Cao that his family will take care of it, so my family will help with the placement, which can be regarded as a shelter for the orphan and widow." ”
"Oh, that's true, but I'm afraid the kindness is too much." The matchmaker said again, then turned around and walked away with her bucket-like waist.
Sister Li Yue looked at her back thoughtfully, and couldn't help but ponder the words of the flower matchmaker, thinking about Mrs. Lu's reminder on the day of the Yue Niangniang Festival, and thinking about seeing Zheng Xing come out of the alley in Siping several times, Sister Li Yue remembered that last time, Zheng Xing pulled Zheng Dian and muttered. Thinking about it again, Zheng Dian placed Mrs. Cao's family in Siping but never told her, just now she said that she knew, but she couldn't look down on the flower matchmaker's picture of watching a good show, isn't there really some famous here?
Thinking about it, Sister Li Yue went home, put down the vegetable basket, changed into clean clothes, and planned to visit Mrs. Cao in the alley in Sipingli, after all, she was at the request of the manager of Cao, and there is nothing wrong with going to see it at this time, let's take a look at the situation first.
After entering Sipingli, Sister Li Yue originally planned to ask the neighbors on the side about the house where Mrs. Cao was, but she didn't expect to see Zheng Xing carrying a pack of medicine and patting the door of a family, and after a while, the door creaked open, and half of Miss Axiu's pretty face came out.
"Brother Xing'er is here, come into the house." The crisp voice of the Axiu girl let Zheng Xing in, and then the door closed with a bang.
At the opposite door, an old woman set up a shelf, on which some needles and threads were placed, and a sister-in-law was carrying it, and when the door was closed, the sister-in-law and the old woman muttered open.
"Granny Guan, who lives on the other side? What's the beginning, it's been a few months since I moved here, and the door has been closed tightly all day, and it seems that it's just that little brother just now, who is that little brother in their family? The sister-in-law who bought the needle and thread brain said.
"Hehe, you don't know, I don't know, but let's ask less, in short, this family can't get involved, and if you can't say it, it's troublesome." The old woman who was called Granny Zheng was humane.
What do you mean by that? Granny Guan, don't sell Guanzi. The more she said this, the more curious the sister-in-law became.
"All I know is that when their family first moved in, someone came to inquire about the house, guess who?" That Guan mother-in-law said.
"Who is it?" The sister-in-law lowered her voice.
"If I don't tell you, you won't even want to die. It's the newly appointed county master, and the kid who went in just now was also there, do you know what that kid called the county master? Granny Guan asked with raised eyebrows again.
"What?" The sister-in-law learned to tongue like a starling.
"Sixth brother." That Guan's mother-in-law looked chattering.
"Granny Guan, what do you mean by saying that the kid who went in just now is the younger brother of the county master." The sister-in-law came back to her senses at this time. couldn't help but babble, and muttered again: "The county master came to inquire about the house, and his younger brother often came to take care of it, and he was such a green lady." Granny Guan, what do you mean by this is that this family is not the outer room raised by the county master. ”
"Nonsense, I don't mean anything." That Guan's mother-in-law didn't admit it.
And at this moment, Sister Li Yue also pretended to be there with a needle and thread, listening to the words of the two. In her heart, she has never heard Zheng Dian talk about these things, of course. If it is said that Ah Xiu is Zheng Dianyang's outer room. Sister Li Yue didn't believe it again......
Just thinking about it, the door on the other side opened again, Sister Li Yue turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Zheng Xing coming out of the house, Miss Axiu was sending her off, Zheng Xing also saw Sister Li Yue at a glance, and her face changed color. Lost his voice and shouted: "Sixth sister-in-law, why are you here?" ”
"Why can't I be here, I'll buy some embroidery thread, it's almost the New Year, and I can't help your sixth brother and I pick up the embroidery, I wonder why you're here?" Sister Li Yue raised her eyebrows and asked, and smiled at Ah Xiu by the door, who quickly bent her knees and blessed herself, and then closed the door with a bang.
Zheng Xing looked at Sister Li Yue's knife-like eyes, and his heart was furious, and his eyes rolled a few times before he replied: "Mrs. Cao is sick, didn't the uncle promise to take care of the Cao family's family at the beginning, but now, they are all women, and it is inconvenient to run out, so I will help run away." ”
"Oh, that's it, what are you doing with the look of a ghost?" Sister Li Yue glared and said, and gave another look of settling accounts after the autumn, before paying the money to Granny Zheng, took a few rolls of silk thread, turned around and left, Zheng Xing followed behind him with a worried face.
At this moment, Granny Guan and the sister-in-law both had shocked faces, and after a while, the sister-in-law came back to her senses and asked: "That kid just called that eldest lady the sixth sister-in-law, so that one is the wife of the county master?" ”
"I guess so." Granny Guan is also empty in her heart.
"We didn't say anything disrespectful, did we?" The sister-in-law said again.
"Probably not...... "Granny Guan didn't have much confidence, and after thinking about it, she didn't know what she said before.
"I heard that the county master and they are all from Liuwa, and the mother-in-law of Liuwa is fierce, and now she has been arrested, I'm afraid I'm not going to fight the east wind when I go back." The sister-in-law said again.
"Who knows, if you don't say it, you don't say it, you need to know that trouble comes from your mouth." The mother-in-law waved her hands vigorously, closed her mouth and never said a word again.
Zheng Xing followed behind Sister Li Yue, sent Sister Li Yue home respectfully, and received a cold look before retiring and leaving, and then rushed into the county office as if he were rushing into the county office and found Zheng Dian in the back hall.
"Sixth brother, it's not good, I went to Pingli Lane today to deliver medicine to Mrs. Cao, and when Ah Xiu sent me out, I was hit by the sixth sister-in-law." Zheng Xing said angrily.
Zheng Dian was looking at the documents from the workers, and sure enough, the news of Chaoyan came down, and in the spring of next year, the Tonghui Canal will be rebuilt, and the Ministry of Industry will let the county government prepare, after all, it will be a big deal to recruit a husband or something.
"If you know, you know." Zheng Dian replied indifferently, but then shrugged his eyebrows: "I said how did you run to Sipingli recently, did you fall in love with Ah Xiu's little lady, if you really like it, please ask the matchmaker to talk about it then." Zheng Dian couldn't help but quip.
As soon as he heard what his sixth brother said, Zheng Xing exploded: "What did I fall in love with Ah Xiu Xiaoniang, didn't you fall in love with it?" It's helping people rent a house, and letting me have nothing to take care of, who am I afraid of before and after? "Zheng Xing, that's Qu, the sixth sister-in-law is not a good match.
"You kid, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I helped them settle it for the sake of our family's faith, and the things that promised people will be done, besides, Mo Yi's affairs are not over at that time, can I be caressing a little? If you say this now, if you misunderstand your sixth sister-in-law, I will beat you with a big fist. Zheng Dian glared at Zheng Xing
"But the problem is, the sixth sister-in-law seems to have misunderstood...... Zheng Xing cried with a sad face, how difficult it was for him.
