Chapter 173: Crescent Moon's Background

Wu Shi responded, "This is very good, or she is capable of herself, even if Xu Saburo is not there, she can live such a good life, I really have to count on us, I don't know what the process is like, you say, this Xu Saburo has no news at all, did he really give Xi Yatou silver to let her buy Orchard Grange, will it be Yu Gongzi......"

Before Wu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cheng Cai, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about, Yu Gongzi is Cheng Xi is sister, and he is so good to Cheng Xi because they inadvertently saved him at the beginning, and this Yu Gongzi has been with that beautiful girl for a long time, doesn't my mother often see it." ”

Wu was told by his son, and snorted dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you see that girl today?" ”

Cheng Dagui waved his hand at the two mother and son who were arguing, "Is it okay?" Hurry up and clean up the house, it's a mess to live in. ”

When both Wu and Cheng Cai were reprimanded by themselves for doing their work, Cheng Dagui opened his mouth and whispered to the eldest son on the side, "Ah Chen, if we help Ah Cai, Ah Cai is so good to Xi'er, maybe it's not bad to follow him." ”

Ah Chen sighed, and also whispered, "Dad, you don't know how smart Xi'er is, you have already seen Ah Cai's thoughts, Ah Cai told me, Xi'er told him wrong, she only thought Ah Cai was her brother, and before Ah Cai spoke, Xi'er blocked the road behind Ah Cai." ”

After listening to this, Cheng Dagui didn't speak again, but only limped into the house with his head down and crutches.

Cheng Xi and Yu Zhaocai entered the county seat, it was already evening, as soon as Cheng Xi entered the city, his mouth began to chatter, "The chairs and benches should be made from new, some of them were left before, they were too old, and the sheets and bedding should also be purchased new, and many of them were moved from the county seat......"

Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi speechlessly and said, "I said, the purpose of your entry into the county is to help me persuade Yueya'er to marry me, not to buy things like crazy." ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips, "I know, but it won't delay me from shopping, there is a carpenter shop in front, let's go down and have a look first?" ”

Yu Zhaocai glared at Cheng Xi, "It's time to see when this is, everyone is closed, and I'll buy it tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he yelled at the driver who was driving the car outside, "Go home directly." ”

Cheng Xi glared at Yu Zhaocai back, "Just go back, what are you doing so loudly." ”

Ah Wen, who was sitting outside, saw that the coachman on the side couldn't hold the whip that was shaken by Yu Zhaocai's hand, so he simply reached out and whipped the whip over, and then whipped it on the horse's back, and the carriage sped up.

When she arrived at Yu Zhaocai's house, Yue'er saw that Cheng Xi had also come over, and she was very happy, so she asked people to set up a table of good dishes, and after dinner, Yu Zhaocai kept glancing at Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi received Yu Zhaocai's eyes, so he pulled the crescent moon and said, "The moon is good outside today, Yue Ya'er, let's go out and take a look and eat." ”

Yue'er smiled and reached out to hold Cheng Xide's arm, and responded, "Okay, let's go." ”

After walking around the yard twice, and when they arrived at the garden with few people, Cheng Xi said, "Crescent Yue'er, you and Brother Yu seem to have grown up together since childhood, right?" ”

Speaking of Yu Zhaocai, Yueya had a beautiful smile on her face and recalled the past, "Yes, the slave maid heard from the lady, that is, the mother of the son, that the slave maid is the daughter of one of her good sisters, only the slave maid's father committed the crime, and the whole family was sentenced to death, and the children under the age of ten were exiled for men and slaves for women." ”

Cheng Xi heard Yue'er talk about these sad pasts, and was afraid that Yue'er would be too sad, so he reached out and patted Yue'er's hand.

Yue'er responded with a smile, "Xi'er doesn't have to worry, in fact, the slave and maid are not too sad, because the slave and maid don't remember their family at all, the slave and maid have followed the lady since she remembered, and the lady treats the slave and the maid very well, although the slave and the maid are demoted to slaves, but the lady treats the slave and the maid as her own daughter. ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "No wonder when you quarrel with Brother Yu, he always says that you made a small report with his mother?" ”

Yueya'er said with a smile, "The slave can't fight him, and he is always bullied, so I can only make a small report to my wife." ”

Cheng Xi felt that he could get to the point, so he said, "You and Brother Yu are together." ”

Speaking of this kind of privacy, Yue'er's face also turned slightly red, and she hummed softly, and then added, "The slave maid is the personal maid of the son." ”

Cheng Xi continued, "Then have you ever thought about marrying him? You should also know what his mind is. ”

The crescent moon, who was originally reddish, suddenly turned a little pale, and then lowered her head with red eyes and did not speak again.

Cheng Xi looked at Yue'er suspiciously, not understanding that when it came to marrying Yu Zhaocai, Yue'er would have such an expression, obviously she liked Yu Zhaocai so much, as long as there was a woman around Yu Zhaocai who was close to him, she tried all kinds of ways to drive her away, and said that marrying Yu Zhaocai, she should be happy.

Besides, Yu Zhaocai didn't dislike her identity as a maid, and she wanted to marry her, she should also understand Yu Zhaocai's intentions?

Cheng Xi stopped and looked at Yue'er, and simply asked directly, "Don't you want to marry him?" Why? ”

Yue'er didn't speak, only stood there with her head down, and only spoke after a while, but her voice was not as cheerful and crisp as before, and she answered in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's not that I don't want to marry him, it's that I can't marry him." ”

Cheng Xi can hear how heavy Yue'er's mood is, even the slave who never leaves her mouth at any time has become me, since Cheng Xi is entrusted by Yu Zhaocai, of course, she has to figure out what Yue'er said that she can't marry Yu Zhaocai, why she can't marry Yu Zhaocai, and only after knowing the reason can you think of a solution.

So Cheng Xi didn't care about the crescent moon's sadness, and continued to ask, "Why can't you marry him?" ”

Yueya sighed and began to walk forward slowly, saying as she walked, "The slave is a criminal slave, unlike ordinary slaves and maids, as long as you get the deed of sale from the master, you can also go to the yamen to change it into a good register, the slave and maid's slave status has been recorded in the government, and can only be a slave forever, even if I give birth to a child, I can only follow me, it is a slave." With my status, how can I marry a childe? ”

Cheng Xi was also stunned when he heard this, looked at Yue'er and said, "Yu Zhaocai doesn't know? ”

Yue'er bit her lip and shook her head, "I also told me alone when Madame was leaving, and she was afraid that she would also see that I was ...... with Childe, so she told me these things, but I ......, I wanted to selfishly occupy Childe, so I never told Childe, I always thought in my heart, and then sometime, I will tell Childe, let Childe find a good woman again......"

Cheng Xi followed behind Yue'er, reached out and grabbed Yue'er's hand in distress, and said, "Do you distrust him so much?" Why don't you tell him that you guys face it together, there is always a way to solve it, it's a big deal to help you re-make an identity and marry him, with his ability, this thing can't be done. ”

Crescent Moon stopped and raised her head to look at Cheng Xi, her delicate face in the moonlight had obvious tears on her face, and she looked at Cheng Xi with anticipation and some apprehension, "Does he really care?" ”

Cheng Xi was speechless and said, "You've been with him for so long, do you think he cares about these messy things?" ”

Yueya Er thought while listening to Cheng Xide's words, his son-in-law, uh, never seemed to care what others thought and said, otherwise he wouldn't have such a bad reputation, and people who didn't care about their reputation really cared about their identity as a criminal slave?

Cheng Xi continued to speak, "Besides, how long has it been since your father's affairs?" If you change your identity casually, who else will investigate it carefully? You, usually so smart, why are you so confused? ”

Crescent Moon whispered, "I'm not worried, I'm worried that Childe doesn't want me, so I don't say anything." ”

Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and nodded the crescent moon's forehead, "It's too much to worry, I'll be honest with you, I'm here today because your son-in-law has repeatedly asked me to be a lobbyist for him and persuade you to marry her, you, go back and explain to him honestly, and let him find a way for you." ”

Yue'er was a little apprehensive in her heart, "But I'm still worried, worried that he will know the identity of my criminal slave......"

Without waiting for Yue'er to finish speaking, Yu Zhaocai came out from behind the rockery on the side, and reached out to Yue'er with a brain breakdown, and scolded, "You have never married me because of these messy and lame reasons." ”

Yueya was taken aback by Yu Zhaocai, her face was shocked, and she looked at Yu Zhaocai worriedly, and stammered, "Father-in-law, slave, slave......"

Cheng Xi smiled and said to Yu Zhaocai, "I'll help you figure out the reason, and you can do the rest yourself, ah......, I'm so sleepy, I'll go back to sleep first, and you can talk slowly." ”

After speaking, Cheng Xi turned around and left, and went to the courtyard where he usually lived.

The mood was comfortable, the quality of sleep was also good, Cheng Xi had a good night's sleep, and the next morning after washing up and going to the main hall for breakfast, they were almost finished, only to see Yu Zhaocai and Crescent Moon coming in from the door greasy and crooked.

Cheng Xi pursed his lips and lowered his head to continue eating, it seems that these two people have solved everything, and they don't have to worry about themselves.

When Yu Zhaocai dragged Yue'er and sat down at the table with him, Yu Zhaocai said to Cheng Xi, who was eating happily, "Xi'er, your uncle, isn't it Brother Xu's uncle, Xu Wenqiang, haven't you always wanted me to be his son-in-law, you go back and tell him, let Yue'er be her daughter, and I will be her son-in-law." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Yu Zhaocai speechlessly, "Will you pick someone, knowing what my uncle's idea is, you also pushed the crescent moon to his name!" How good would it be to let the crescent moon be my sister and put it in my father's name? ”

As soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, he was decisively rejected by Yu Zhaocai, "No, your two brothers are still singles, so I don't worry about putting my crescent moon in your father's name." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Yu Zhaocai in astonishment, "I just said it casually, and you actually took it to heart." ”

Yu Zhaocai took a sip of porridge and responded, "Your two brothers are still singles, this is a fact, my crescent moon is so beautiful, who knows if this long-standing singles will have any thoughts." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Yu Zhaocai speechlessly, "I didn't really send Yue'er to my father to be my father's daughter, just to find a suitable identity for her." ”

Yu Zhaocai actually said strongly, "That's not good." ”

Cheng Xi continued to eat his breakfast, too lazy to take care of him anymore, and waved his left hand casually, "Whatever you want." ”
