Before Lian Zhenyun could find out what the two different names meant from Qi Su Niang's mouth, the green horse had already driven into Huai'an City with him like an arrow.

And he was in front of the gate of the main altar of the Jiangsu Cao Gang, and was knocked out of the nineteen-year-old body by a red light.

He turned seven or eight times in mid-air before he stabilized his body, looked at the faintly rising red light in the lobby of the main altar, and secretly regretted his carelessness.

"This time I went out, opened the meat and grew up?" The gang leader of Jiangsu had long known that he had brought back a girl, so he laughed and didn't ask much, and gave him a three-room courtyard near the main altar to the nineteen-year-old and asked him to move over.

Lian Zhenyun stood outside the lattice window of the right wing of the small courtyard, although he knew that Qi Su Niang couldn't hear it, he couldn't help but comfort: "He can't understand why he flattered you like that, and brought you back, thinking that you would do tricks...... Don't blame him...... It's my fault......" Qi Su Niang stood in front of the door, looking up at the three Guan Emperor charms posted on her door that wanted to suppress her, her face full of confusion.

Even Zhenyun could only smile helplessly.

The sound of the door of the small courtyard opening sounded, Qi Su Niang followed the sound and looked over, and the young man who had cared for her walked in with a knife, his face full of coldness and vigilance.

He glanced at her, as if he couldn't figure out what he was trying to bring her back for, and turned and went straight into his left wing.

He also wore a copper coin charm around his neck that had been brought down from the altar.

"Don't worry, as long as he personally took you in and promised to raise you personally, even if he couldn't figure it out, it would be impossible to kick you out......"

Lian Zhenyun could neither go up nor go in and out of Qi Su Niang's room, but what he had was patience.

The toon tree outside the window of the right wing room is like a cover, he stands under the tree, day after day, watching Qi Su Niang climb the tree and peek at how Cao Niang in the yard next door is digging well water, how to make a fire, how to cook, how to cut cloth and sew clothes, and make shoes at the bottom, so that the nineteen-year-old can come back, barely able to eat two hot meals at home, and the clothes he brought back are also made for him, and his face is not so ugly.

He stood in front of the window, night after night, watching her figure reflected on the window paper stretch like a tender willow in the spring breeze, growing up, her chest gradually rose and fell, her waist was soft and thin, and the upturned buttocks made her graceful in a coarse cloth skirt, and the two straight long legs under the skirt always made him lose his patience when he closed the door and bathed.

However, her eyebrows and eyes were still rough and rough, and she moved with the rebellious young man who had made meritorious contributions to a larger, five-room courtyard.

When Cao helped the brothers to bring wine to the door to celebrate, she could hear their drunken laughter, "Xiaolian, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a wife or what's the matter, so you hurriedly found such a rough girl to be a child daughter-in-law?" The top card in the Ruyi opera troupe is not crying and shouting to be good with you, if you are really anxious to find a wife, isn't marrying her a hundred times better than this ugly girl in your family? ”

"Nonsense, I just raised her because she was pitiful, and when she turns fourteen next year, I will find a family to be a girl for her, and I won't care about her anymore......"

She could hear it, but she didn't make a sound, she was still silently stir-frying hot wine in the kitchen, Lian Zhenyun outside the window endured her anger, and didn't think of a way to dispel the idea that the rebellious young man wanted to send people away, he knew that when he was in his twenties, he finally understood the benefits of reading and writing, and he wanted to invite the old Xiucai in Huai'an City to teach him to read.

And he has been silently accompanying Qi Su Niang in the past few years, and he has also discovered that even if no one teaches her, she is also literate and knows how to do arithmetic.

Although he was puzzled, he didn't care, there were still toon trees planted in the yard, bigger and more lush, and the shadow of the tree shrouded the right wing where Qi Su Niang lived, and he smiled and watched Qi Su Niang probe his brain into the main hall.

She knew that Lao Xiucai got up every night and left for the second watch, and knew that the young people who had only started to really study in their twenties frowned every night, writing hard one stroke at a time, leaving waste paper all over the floor and residual ink on the table.

After three or four months like this, Lian Zhenyun was already a little anxious, but she still endured it, and waited until her fourteenth birthday, when a woman came to see her and recommended her to be a girl.

"You're not stupid, you're very diligent, and you write better than me......"

He looked at her with a few more surprises and recognition, every night when Xiucai came to lecture, he took her to listen and learn together, and when he found that Lao Xiucai could no longer teach her, he immediately invited a more knowledgeable gentleman from the school.

"You don't want to do housework in the future, just settle accounts for me, write paperwork, teach these children, and let them do housework......"

The three Guandi charms that had been pasted in front of the right wing for five years were torn by him, and after the two of them finally sat together and guarded the fire for the first time for the Chinese New Year's Eve, he picked up two boys and two girls at three or five times, and named them Dahe, Da Chuan, Banye, and Seed Ding.

Lian Zhenyun could go in and out of Qi Su Niang's room, but he still habitually stood under the toon tree outside the window, watching her push open the window early in the morning, open the mirror box, and carefully comb the long black hair with a wooden comb.

There were always the leaves of the toon tree falling into the window, he stretched out his hand, stroked her long hair, stared at her more and more jade white and delicate face after the first menarche, Gu Pan Shengbo's eyes, the long eyebrows that flew into the hair obliquely, the straight and small nose, and he was in front of the window, gently probing, kissing the bright lips again and again.

It's about to be autumn, the leaves on the toon tree are more fragrant in the early morning of autumn, the courtyard door was pushed open, and the unruly young man who came back from walking with the big river walked in, and inadvertently saw her combing her hair in front of the window, and she hadn't seen her for half a year, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.

She heard the knock at the door, turned her head, Tingting stood up, his eyes flashed, and he stood in front of the door for a while before he called, "...... I am back. ”

Twice a year, I went to Cao Cao to bring back a few pieces of fabric, and added a few boxes of Suhang rouge that were originally going to be given to the top brand of the Ruyi class, Lian Zhenyun watched her quietly stuff the rouge to the Ya Po who invited her to the door, and asked her to choose carefully, find a place where the owner is kind and well-behaved, and recommend her to work.

“…… I know he's not been good to you in the past few years......" Lian Zhenyun slowly walked into her room, looking down at her drawing on the table with those mechanism diagrams that she didn't know if she didn't learn, and he couldn't understand them, "But he will be more and more attentive to you in the future, you see, for the sake of me waiting for you all these years, don't leave in a hurry, he is about to suffer, Dahe They are still too young, only you can accompany him......"

Even the new hairpin and beaded breastplate that Dahe left in her room with a smile, the satin handkerchief that only the ladies of the big families can afford, the complete set of dolls and clay figures from the north, a whole box of fragrant wood dressing utensils with Western glass mirrors, and all kinds of toys that girls will like She gradually has, but most of them are dismantled by her, either given half a leaf and a seed, or replaced with scattered silver, and more than half of them are still stuffed to a few famous Ya women in Huai'an Mansion.

She finally chose one of the three or four large families in Huai'an, who had always been generous to their subordinates.

She packed up her small burden, calculated the cost of food, clothing and housing for her for the past six years, and planned to tell him that he was going to work to earn money and return it to him anyway, not to get married, and he was not violating the agreement six years ago, when he was carried back.

Broke two legs.

Although the children in the family are also in their teens, they are all panicked and crying, Qi Su Niang turned her lips white, looked at his equally pale face on the bed, settled the children in the family, invited the doctor to pick up the bones, and put the red clay stove for boiling medicine outside his door.

She waited for him to take medicine, change dressings, wipe his body, sit on the toilet, comb his hair and change clothes, and watched the helper who rushed back from the capital come to see him at home in person, touching his head and letting him recuperate; Listening to his eyes condensed, staring at the top of the bed tent, he told her that the second gang leader was jealous of the gang leader's value of him, and he exchanged two legs that could still be connected to the bone for an arm to be removed, and it was not a loss......

By the time he was finally able to get out of bed and walk around, more than half a year had passed.

Lian Zhenyun, who was still wandering, looked at Qi Su Niang's thin face, watched him wake up in the middle of the night, slowly clenched her hand lying on the edge of the bed, and stared at her all the time. It wasn't until the dawn that the rooster crowed, and when she woke up, he reached out and hugged her into his arms, and said softly: "Don't be angry with me, don't go outside to work, I will be good to you in the future......"

She finally didn't have to take care of him, and was able to sleep peacefully in her room, and he gave her all the two or three thousand taels of silver that he had in the house, the account book, and the key to the small warehouse, and pretended to ask her about her birthday inadvertently, and went out every day after breakfast, and went home at the hour of dinner.

She didn't inquire about the work anymore, but she still tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and it was difficult to sleep.

Lian Zhenyun sat on the edge of her bed, looked at her eyes that were still open in the dark, and said softly: "He's a cheap bone, don't be too good to him, he still has twenty taels of gold in his hand in the money bank, he didn't tell you and didn't give it to you, he has been the top brand of the Ruyi class for four or five years, and he didn't go there for the night after he was injured, but Bao Yin let Lian Dahe send it over when you went to the street to buy medicine......" However, he slowly leaned down, hugged her gently, and said in her ear: "But in another year or two, He's going to Qinghe County, follow him after you get married, as long as you give him the map of the organ, he will treat you like an ancestor from now on, whatever you say is what, the woman outside the bread, as long as you cry a few times, he will get annoyed and leave it alone......"

The fortune teller sent the two people's birthdays to match, and got a full ten taels of silver from Lian Dahe - the woman has the life of a prosperous husband, and it is good luck after marriage.

Qi Su Niang didn't sleep well for a few nights, the door in the room was tightly chained, Lian Zhenyun listened to the little drama in the Ruyi Opera Troupe early in the morning and whispered a few words to Lian Dahe, frowned and flew up, and left the house with the young man who had already made up his mind to marry.

Lian Zhenyun watched him turn a few streets, went to the makeup house of Su Opera in the west of the city to find her godmother to cancel the contract of serving, and then went to the money village in the east of the city and took out twenty taels of gold.

Lian Zhenyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat in the gold shop with him, he watched the goldsmith create a three-two-three money-heavy staple hairpin, a pair of two-two-four gold earrings, and two two-tael gold rings, carefully wrapped and ready to go home, but when passing by the bathhouse, according to the Suhuai people's habit of rubbing the bath when they encounter major events, they went in and took a hot bath.

The copper coin charm around his neck was thrown on the edge of the bath, as if to mock his own crankiness.

With a swelling sound, white light flashed, and Lian Zhenyun jumped up from the bath, he had been waiting for six years.
