Chapter 145: Xu Sanlang's News
Xu Sanlang's sister-in-law was a little unexpected, she was born in such a poor village, but she was completely different from those women in that village.
After coming here, Cheng Xi realized that there are really few good-looking beauties in this kind of countryside, most of them are working in the field with dark skin, or malnourished and hungry with yellow and thin muscles, this Xu Lan is no wonder she has such a sense of superiority before, it is really a woman like her in the village who is raised at home and looks white and beautiful, it is really difficult to find in the village.
Of course, Cheng Xi was thinking that the Xu family was pampering her like this, and I was afraid that they were playing with her idea early.
But it's not completely nothing, such as a home with slightly better conditions, or someone who likes your parents, and you also go back to pampering and don't let go to the ground, and if you are a little whiter, you can count it as a beauty, of course, there is no shortage of good-looking ones.
No, Cheng Xi has always felt that she is an outsider, and now Cheng Xi has long been accustomed to seeing her own face, for this face that is getting longer and more delicate, Cheng Xi narcissistically feels that whether it is black or white, it is very good-looking.
Cheng Xi looked at the clear reflection of her face in the water, but she was a little curious, what her mother who left the child and ran away looked like.
The only thing I am not satisfied with is this head, it has grown a little longer, and the body shape is also open, and gradually from a little girl to a woman, but the size has only grown a little, as if there is a trend of stagnation, Cheng Xi himself visually tested, her height will not exceed one meter six, although most of the women here are not too tall.
In a poor village like Xiangmu Village, it would be good not to starve to death, no matter if you are a boy or a girl, if you don't work in the field, you will starve to death, and most of them are still yellow-faced and thin, Cheng Xi really didn't expect that his sister-in-law would grow like this.
When she first saw her sister-in-law, Cheng Xi thought of Sister Lin in the Dream of Red Mansions, and after coming into contact with her, she felt that this sister-in-law was like the Jiangnan woman in her impression, gentle as water, graceful and moving.
Cheng Xi finally understood why Xu Dalang was so persistent, so that she could abandon her family, follow her to that poor village alone, and silently guard her for several years.
Since moving to Lihua Village, after the conditions are good, Xu Dalang doesn't let her work much, the family affairs are Ma Zhangluo, and she rarely gets her hands, but gradually gets better and better, Xu Wenqiang's life is comfortable, every day in front of his steward, he angrily takes a bunch of villagers of Lihua Village to work in the field, plus from time to time he also receives compliments from the villagers of Lihua Village, and gives birth to a pair of good children, not to mention, even the daughter-in-law is as good as the eldest and younger lady, but there is no longer embarrassing this daughter-in-law.
But everyone is busy, Xu Dalang's daughter-in-law Liu is always idle, and she still takes the salary given by Cheng Xi, and she feels uncomfortable, and after feeling that her body is almost good, Liu came to the orchard and found Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi still likes this sister-in-law with a gentle smile and a kind face, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly greeted, "On such a hot day, why did the sister-in-law come here?" ”
Liu Shi stretched out his hand to pluck a leaf from Cheng Xi's head, and replied with a smile, "You can run here, I can't come yet?" ”
Cheng Xi smiled, pulled Liu Shi to stand under the shade of the tree, and responded, "You are not in good health, you have to take care of it at home." ”
Liu said, "I've been raising this for almost a year, where do I still need to raise it?" Especially when I come to your side, I don't do anything every day, and I still get paid, I'm embarrassed, look at what work I can do here? Don't say there's nothing going on, I don't believe you're okay when you see you busy all day long. ”
Cheng Xi wanted to refuse, but was blocked by Liu's back, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Then the sister-in-law came here to help supervise the female workers in the orchard, Brother Wang Boping, they are men in the end, not careful enough, sister-in-law must be careful, the main thing is to supervise them must pay attention to hygiene, according to my requirements, I let Xu Lan watch it a few days ago, but she still has to help me boil syrup, when the time comes, I will let Xu Lan take my sister-in-law for two days, and then the sister-in-law will take over this matter." ”
Liu knew that Cheng Xi didn't want to tire her and let her do any heavy work, so he sent her this errand, but there was something better than being idle at home every day, so he nodded and responded, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Da Lang, and I'll start coming over tomorrow." ”
Cheng Xi said, "You don't have to come over every day for this work, just invite workers to come over when you're busy." ”
Liu Shi said helplessly, "Okay, it's better than nothing." ”
Cheng Xi smiled and grabbed Liu's arm, and said while going over to the other side where he lived, "You should listen to the eldest brother, take care of it, and give birth to the eldest brother as soon as possible is the right thing, but the eldest aunt is looking forward to it every day." ”
Liu Shi replied with some sadness, "I'm looking forward to it myself." ”
She has been married to Da Lang for several years, but she has not been able to leave Da Lang with a man and a half woman, but Da Lang is still like this and has never changed to him, she also feels guilty and sad, now life is finally not so difficult, she only hopes that her stomach can be more angry.
The two of them walked back, and Liu Shi said, "By the way, I heard that San Lang has news?" ”
Cheng Xi turned his head to look at the Liu family in confusion, and said incomprehensibly, "Huh? What's the news? No news! ”
Liu Shi also looked at Cheng Xi with a puzzled expression, "No news?" Yesterday, when Yu Gongzi went to see your greenhouse in the Grange over there, I also heard Yu Gongzi talk to the Xiong brothers about San Lang, I thought Yu Gongzi was here to send you news, did I hear it wrong? No, I clearly heard what San Lang was in Fucheng or something, and I thought San Lang was in Fucheng and sent the message back. ”
Cheng Xi frowned when she heard Liu's words, she also felt that Yu Zhaocai yesterday was a little weird, always asking some strange questions, asking Xu Sanlang if there was any news to send back, and asking if there were any strange people who came to Lihua Village recently, Cheng Xi looked inexplicable.
But listening to Liu's story, it seems that Yu Zhaocai knows the news of Xu Sanlang, so what did he ask her about Xu Sanlang's news? And if you know the news of Xu Saburo, why don't you tell her? Could it be that something happened to Xu Saburo?
Thinking of this, Cheng Xide felt a little out of breath as if he had pressed a boulder.
Letting go of Liu's arm, Cheng Xi turned to the side and said to Liu, "Sister-in-law, you go back first, I'll go to Xiong Daxiong Er and ask." ”
After saying that, Cheng Xi ran to the orchard, and Xiong Daxiong Er was still in the orchard at this time to help Uncle Wang deworm the fruit trees.
Liu Shi looked at Cheng Xi's back as he left quickly, and muttered, "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”
Then he shook his head again, "Xi'er is San Lang's daughter-in-law, what is wrong with San Lang, Yu Gongzi and they shouldn't hide it from her." ”
Cheng Xi anxiously scurried around in the orchard, and finally found Xiong Daxiong Er in the depths of the orchard, Xiong Daxiong Er looked at Cheng Xi who was still panting when he was running towards them quickly, and said with a worried face, "Master, but what happened?" ”
Cheng Xi put his hands on his waist and gasped while asking with a cold face, "Do you know the news of Xu Sanlang?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
Xiong Da and Xiong Er heard Cheng Xi's words, and said worriedly, "Master, but what happened?" Is there something wrong with someone coming here? ”
Cheng Xi asked with a cold face, "Nothing wrong with you, I'm asking you, do you have any news about Xu Sanlang, and then keep hiding it from me?" ”
Xiong Da glanced at his younger brother, expecting his younger brother, who was more flexible than his own brain, to think of a solution, but Xiong Er replied helplessly, "Master, the son is afraid that you will be worried so that he will not dare to tell you, and even if you know, it will be useless." ”
Cheng Xi had a bad premonition in his heart, and looked at Xiong Er with wide eyes, "What do you mean by this?" Tell me honestly. ”
Xiong Er knew that since Cheng Xi knew the clue about this matter, he couldn't hide it, even if they didn't say it, Cheng Xi would go to Gongzi and force Gongzi to say it, even if Gongzi resisted, the master was afraid that he would inquire about it himself, if there was something wrong, the master was afraid that there would be danger.
So Xiong Er had to tell the truth in one breath, "Gongzi went to Yuecheng some time ago, and accidentally saw Xu Gongzi, Gongzi knew that the master had been worried about Xu Gongzi's situation, and he was going to come forward to ask, but he was stopped by someone, and insisted that Gongzi recognized the wrong person, and asked Gongzi to leave quickly Don't follow him, where is Gongzi willing, just secretly follow to see what is going on, and find an opportunity to secretly question Xu Gongzi, but I don't want Gongzi to see a lot of officers and soldiers with my own eyes, and Xu Gongzi was arrested." ”
"After that, Gongzi inquired around, and went to the Yuecheng Mansion to find someone to entrust the relationship, just hoping to see the arrested Xu Gongzi, the people in the yamen said that Xu Gongzi was a felony in the imperial court, and no one was allowed to see him, Gongzi did not give up, and he stayed in Yuecheng and walked around to inquire about the news, but only inquired, and Xu Gongzi was escorted to our Fucheng Cloud City."
"Childe is worried that something has happened to you, master, and hurried back, come back to see that you are fine, these days I am planning to go to Fucheng to inquire about the news, in the end there are more acquaintances in Fucheng, Childe said maybe he can inquire about the news, or find a way to meet Xu Gongzi and ask what is going on."
After listening to Xiong Er's words, Cheng Xi didn't have time to worry about what they were hiding from her Xu Sanlang's news at this time, only thinking that Xu Sanlang was arrested, and he was extremely flustered when he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he still kept his composure, and said in a slightly trembling tone, "You two hurry up and send me to the county seat to see Yu Zhaocai." ”
Xiong Da and Xiong Er glanced at each other, and finally nodded, and then the group went back from the orchard.
The Liu family was still here, and when he saw Cheng Xi's face, he knew that it was definitely Xu Sanlang's news that it was not good news, so he asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with San Lang?" ”
