Bai Xing immediately turned his face, "Big niece, you can't say that." Your family has been paying taxes for more than ten years, if you can't pay them again, don't blame my uncle for letting you eat in prison! ”

Cai Wei blinked, as if she didn't know Bai Xing, "What did you say?" ”

Bai Xing thought that she was scared, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he had to scare and scare her, maybe he could knock her out for a sum of money.

"I said, if your family doesn't pay it this year, let someone from the yamen arrest you, do you hear?"

Cai Wei's sleek eyes rolled twice, and she suddenly smiled, put her hands on her waist, and shouted, "Let people arrest me, there is no need to kill me if you ask for money!" ”

Bai Xing thought that she would tremble with fright, begging him not to let people arrest her, but who knew that this girl was crazy and dared to play tricks in front of him?

"You wait." Bai Xing threw down the sentence angrily, turned around and left, "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink, who are you?" ”

Cai Wei watched him walk away, and suddenly smiled: It's good now, if Bai Xing really has the ability to get her in prison, then she will not be coerced into Beijing by King Cheng.

In this way, she waited for Lu Ying to come back, and she would naturally rescue her.

She thought about it and went into the house happily.

Chen Yong and his entourage were in the ear room, and they had already heard the conversation between the two people outside, and when they looked out of the window, they saw this girl returning to the house with a happy face.

He couldn't help but shake his head secretly: Why does this girl lack heart? A good guy wants to go to jail?

He couldn't tell if Cai Wei was scaring Bai Xing or if he was serious, anyway, his duty was to protect this little sister-in-law, so naturally he couldn't let her suffer a little.

I just pressed the water and wanted to take a shower in the bathroom, but the door was banged again.

Cai Wei was stunned for a moment, and then rushed over like a whirlwind of excitement. Did Bai Xing bring someone to arrest her?

Then she has to go to jail quickly, so that King Cheng had better not find herself.

As soon as the latch of the door was pulled, he saw the iron bull standing outside the door with his head down.

"Brother Tie Niu, why are you?" On a big night, if it weren't for the two lanterns hanging at the door, she really couldn't see who it was.

"Oh, me, I'll deliver something to you." Tie Niu was a little embarrassed, awkwardly took out his hand from behind his back and handed Cai Wei a thing.

"What is this?" Cai Wei took it in disbelief, and the slender strip-shaped thing was covered with a soft cloth.

"You, just open it and see." Tie Niu was a little stunned and scratched his head uncomfortably.

Cai Wei opened the soft cloth and saw that there was a wood-carved hairpin inside.

It's not a good wood, and it smells a little bitter and fragrant, but the shape of the hairpin is quite good-looking, with the pattern of Danfeng Chaoyang engraved on it, and a string of tassel beads in the phoenix's mouth.

"This is ......" Cai Wei couldn't understand that the Iron Bull came to deliver this at night, and after hesitating, she looked at the Iron Bull.

"Yes, I gave you a gift." Tie Niu blushed and had a thick neck, don't open his eyes and dare not look at Cai Wei, "I, I don't have anything good to give you, so I carved this hairpin, don't dislike it!" ”

This wooden hairpin is quite chic, and Cai Wei liked it immediately, "Where?" Very beautiful hairpin, thank you, Brother Tie Niu. ”

"You, if you like it." Seeing Cai Wei's joy and cheerfulness, Tie Niu couldn't help but grin, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

"Thank you, Brother Tie Niu." Cai Wei looked at Tie Niu sincerely and thanked her. "I heard you're getting married? I don't have any good stuff here, so I'm going to have a drink at the bar. ”

She said indifferently, but Tie Niu's heart was a little sour. Cai Wei grew up behind him as a child, and has always been like a little tail.

This is a sudden marriage between a man and a woman, and he is really a little reluctant.

It's just that now, he is also a person who wants to get married, and he can't have any thoughts about her. "Then, I'll go home first."

"Okay, Brother Tie Niu, slow down." Cai Wei watched Tie Niu turn around and leave, before closing the door.

Chen Yong and the others have been staying in the ear room, which is also what Cai Wei ordered, not wanting them to scare others.

After boiling water and taking a hot bath, she went into the bed.

The autumn night was cold, and she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

Although there are a few people guarding the family, she is not at all steady.

When Lu Ying was there, she had been sleeping soundly. Now that Widow Mu has also been taken away by King Cheng, this home is immediately empty, and her heart is like something missing.

Tossed and turned until midnight, when she fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed that the wind was accompanied by the sound of rain.

The cold air drilled through the crack in the window, and Cai Wei wrapped the quilt tightly on her body, revealing only her head.

When I woke up in the morning, the rain was getting heavier.

She came out dressed neatly, and Chen Yong had already entered the stove room with someone.

It turned out that they had already gotten up, but they never saw Cai Wei get up, so they had to boil water and cook by themselves.

Cai Wei looked at the young men who were bent down one by one and lowered their heads to blow the fire and fan the wind at the stove, and immediately felt like laughing: thinking that they were all people with official status, but they were doing the work of the family in her small farm yard, which was really wronged.

She walked into the stove room from under the cloister and said with a smile, "It's hard for you, you still have to do these rough work, or I'll do it." ”

Chen Yong raised his head and smiled at her, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "Sister-in-law, the rough work should be done by us men, you just have to rest and wait for the meal to be eaten." ”

Cai Wei saw that his face was black and white, like a cat with a flower face, and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I'll wait to taste your craftsmanship." ”

It was raining heavily, and the firewood was naturally a little damp, and a few young men were busy for a while, and they saw black smoke coming out of the stove, but there was no fire.

Cai Wei shook her head, went into the house and took a headscarf to cover her hair and face, and then entered the stove room, and smiled at Chen Yong, "I'll come." ”

Chen Yong's words came out, and he couldn't even make a fire at this time, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and got up to get out of the open space.

Cai Wei squatted down and pulled out the firewood that was full of firewood from the stove, and then took the paper media, smoked a handful of hay, and led it, stuffing the tiny firewood little by little.

It took a long time to wait carefully before the fire was lit.

The water in the pot quickly boiled, and Cai Wei mixed some sorghum noodles and boiled a pot of paste.

After that, a plate of chili eggs and a plate of shredded green beans and meat were fried, and Widow Mu steamed the steamed buns yesterday, so she set up a table in the stove room and let Chen Yong and them eat.

This group of people is five, plus a total of six Cai Wei, after a meal, I ate a pot of steamed buns, and there was no leftover of that dish, if it wasn't accompanied by some pickles, it was probably not enough.

After eating, Chen Yong looked at the pots and bowls so clean that there was no scum left, and couldn't help but look at Cai Wei in amazement, "Sister-in-law, don't laugh at us, we are all rough people, we can just hold rice." ”

Cai Wei naturally won't laugh at them, they are all young men with strong blood, and they are doing a job of dancing knives and guns, so of course they will not eat less.

She smiled as she cleaned up the dining table, "What's this?" It's a blessing that you eat so much and don't get fat! ”

Chen Yong and a few other brocade guards laughed, this little sister-in-law is really funny!

But how did they know that this was Cai Wei's true thoughts. In the previous paragraph, she was so worried about her figure, for fear that she would gain weight after eating a few more bites.

Fortunately, she didn't drink Widow Mu's medicine, and she gradually controlled her appetite, coupled with the coarse tea and light rice every day, this figure was naturally maintained.

After putting away the pots and pans, the rain became more and more like a scoop.

Cai Wei stood under the corridor, shivering a little from the cold, and said in a trembling voice, "The Li family's carriage hasn't come yet, so I don't think I can go today." ”

Chen Yong stood at the door of the stove room and said, "Since you don't go to the Death Pavilion, then my sister-in-law will rest at home." ”

Cai Wei smiled bitterly, can she rest at home? Widow Mu is not here, and these young men can't cook, so she has to wait?

This Lu Ying is really good, try to find her a job to do, for fear that she will be idle.

Standing under the cloister and waiting for a while, she didn't see Bai Xing bring someone to arrest her and put her in prison, and her excitement had nowhere to hang, so she had to go back to the house and lie down.

The rain had been falling for most of the day, and there was no sign of stopping.

Although there is a lot of firewood in the stove room, so many people eat, it is estimated that it will burn out in three or two days.

There were a few baskets of coal piled up in the bathroom, and I was reluctant to use it for cooking, which was used to boil water for heating and bathing in winter.

Taking advantage of this time to be idle at home, Cai Wei decided to try whether the biogas stove she had spent a dozen taels of silver to build was good or not.

So, she unscrewed the valve connected to the biogas pipeline, listened to the slightest bubbling sound at the outlet, couldn't help but secretly rejoice, hurriedly took a handful of hay and lit it, and blew on the outlet, and saw a "poof" sound, and a faint blue flame burst out.

She hurriedly sat down in the pot, added water, scooped up the rice, mixed some sorghum, and cooked lunch.

Chen Yong and his colleagues were stunned like fools, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and one by one they came to Cai Wei and asked carefully, "Sister-in-law, can you do magic?" ”

Cai Wei only smiled and said softly, "It's not magic, it's biogas." ”

Chen Yong and the others heard it in a fog, so Cai Wei had to point it out to them, "There is an iron pipe here, and it stretches all the way to the dung pit." ”

Chen Yong didn't understand it, scratched his head and asked again, "That's it, burning dung water?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they almost didn't disgust a few brocade guards.

Knowing that this little sister-in-law has endless ideas, I didn't expect that she could still cook rice with dung water, how can she eat this lunch?

Cai Wei shook her head with a smile, "Whether it's hot or cold water or fecal water, what kind of water have you ever seen that can be ignited?" It's not water, it's gas, it's invisible, it's not touchable, okay? ”

Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and Cai Wei simply didn't say anything more to them.

Anyway, this lunch is cooked and fragrant, and they don't like to eat it.

It is said that the autumn rain is continuous, but this rain is not to be talked about, the rain has been very strong, and it does not stop.

Fortunately, Cai Wei's family lives in a blue brick and tile house, and the yard is also paved with bluestone slabs, otherwise, you really can't even get off your feet.

After lunch, she moved a chair and sat under the porch, and Chen Yong also sat at the door of the stove room.

Cai Wei looked at the rain and was worried, "If it goes on like this, it is estimated that people will starve to death this winter." ”

A while ago, there was a plague of locusts, and the crops were gnawed clean. After ten days of rain, it is estimated that even the firewood will be gone, and when the time comes, these people will have nothing to eat or drink, how can they survive the winter?

"Sister-in-law is really a bodhisattva!" Chen Yong looked up at the rain, and was also worried, "I don't know where the adults are at this time?" Don't let the rain hold you back. ”

Cai Wei laughed, no matter whether she was delayed by the rain or not, it would take several months to go back and forth anyway. This ancient traffic is really sad.

But she is not a person who hates to marry, what does it matter if she is a little earlier or later?

I'm afraid that King Cheng won't be able to wait, so he will directly drag her into Beijing, and it will be troublesome.

stayed at home for three days in a row, and didn't see Bai Xing come to arrest her, Cai Wei was in a hurry, if she hadn't been afraid of Chen Yong, she really wanted to go to Bai Xing's house to find him.

On the fourth day, early in the morning, I heard the sound of suona blowing and beating in the alley.

Cai Wei then remembered what Widow Mu had said a few days ago that Tie Niu was going to marry.

Pinch your fingers and count, today, September 16, is a day of great luck. The birth of the heavens is not beautiful, it is raining heavily, this bride is sitting in a sedan chair, and she must not be soaked?

She and Tie Niu have been in love since childhood, how can they get up and drink a glass of wine.

Coming out of the bed, she changed into a silver-red gauze jacket, a smoky purple skirt, stepped on a pair of high-soled deerskin boots specially made by someone, and went out with an oil-paper umbrella.

Chen Yong was about to follow, but Cai Wei hurriedly stopped, "I won't go over to salute, it won't take long." ”

When I went out, I saw that there was a sedan chair parked at the entrance of the alley, and Tie Niu stood in front of the sedan chair, holding a red silk flower in his hand, and the bride had already been ushered in.

It was raining heavily, and there were few people watching the excitement, Cai Wei stood behind the sedan chair and watched from afar. The bride picked the curtain, and the bride came out with a big red diamond.

Before she could stand firmly, the rain was down, and she shrank back, a little embarrassed.

Tie Niu hesitated, bowed, and stepped forward to pick up the bride.

Ermao, Da Zhuang and others were friendly with Tie Niu, and they also followed to see the excitement, and this time they clapped their hands and cheered loudly, and they suddenly became lively.

Tie Niu was tall and strong, and he carried the petite bride into his yard without difficulty.

Cai Wei followed, Aunt Li saw her, her expression was unnatural, but she still greeted her with a smile, "Cai Wei is here?" ”

"Yes, on Brother Tie Niu's big day, I'm here to ask for a cup of happy wine." As she spoke, Cai Wei took out a big red purse from her sleeve, which was made by Widow Mu herself a few days ago.

She handed it to Aunt Li and said, "A little courtesy, not a respect!" ”

Aunt Li felt heavy in the palm of her hand, and she couldn't help but be happy. This Cai Wei seems to be rich, and she is generous.

It's just that when I thought that these were earned by Cai Wei by showing up, I felt that it was very hot in my hand, and I quickly stuffed the purse into Cai Wei's hand, she smiled and said, "We are ordinary small families, there are no illegal men in our ancestors, and there are no remarried daughters in the clan." When you see the heavens and smile at people's money, how can we take it? ”

Cai Wei only felt that the bitter wind and rain could not compare to these words, which made her feel cold: What is it called to smile and touch people?
