Chapter 244: Buying Grain
They walked back, Cai Wei tried to imagine the days after marriage, the more she thought about it, the better her mood, and she rushed to Lu Ying's sincerity in treating her, their days will definitely be prosperous and sweet.
Li Ruzhou secretly looked at Cai Wei with a sideways look, and saw that she was radiant and her eyebrows were clear, and she couldn't help but be surprised: This girl is really extraordinary, unlike other girls, crying and crying separately from her sweetheart, she wants to die or live, she can extricate herself so quickly, even a big man like him can't do it, right?
The two returned to the door of the Death Pavilion, but were startled by a row of black-clothed people standing at the door.
These black-clothed men hung scimitars at their waists, their faces were cold, and they exuded a cold aura all over their bodies, looking murderous and quite penetrating.
If it's not Jinyiwei, who are those brothers?
Led by Lu Ying's right-hand man Chen Yong, when he saw Cai Wei and Li Ruzhou walking side by side, his face was suddenly unhappy, he took a step forward, hugged his fists and wanted to salute, but he seemed to unintentionally step forward and knocked Li Ruzhou away.
Chen Yong didn't understand what his family was doing, why didn't he bring this little sister-in-law with him when he returned to Beijing, but he wanted to keep her here, so that the little shopkeeper of the dead pavilion coveted it every day?
He really can't understand the adults of his family more and more, obviously a person who has never been merciful in his determination to kill, after meeting his sister-in-law, he will laugh and his heart will soften, so that he and his brothers are about to lose their acquaintances.
Li Ruzhou was defenseless, and was hit by Chen Yong, a tall and strong man, and couldn't help but be angry, glared at Chen Yong fiercely, and said coldly, "What do you want to do?" ”
Chen Yong pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm sorry, Li Da's shopkeeper is not good for me." ”
He laughed so loudly that Li Ruzhou couldn't do anything about him. But he bumped into him and suffered a dumb loss, but he couldn't fight with him. After all, he is Jinyiwei, and if he offends Jinyiwei, he has no good fruit to eat.
With a snort, Li Ruzhou threw up his sleeves and entered the door of the Death Pavilion.
The black-clothed people on the steps all looked at each other coldly, hating this little white face who coveted their little sister-in-law.
Cai Wei shook her head and smacked her tongue, she didn't expect this group of people to stay here, what did Lu Ying want to do?
Seeing that they were very unfriendly to Li Ruzhou, Cai Wei was not happy in her heart, but she was not Lu Ying's wife who passed by, and she couldn't say anything.
It's just that he was about to enter the Death Pavilion with a cold face, but Chen Yong immediately clasped his fists and saluted, shouting in his mouth, "My subordinates have seen my sister-in-law." ”
The rest of the brocade guards also stepped forward one after another, shouting in unison, "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”
They are all hot-blooded children, and just when their blood is strong, the black clothes on their bodies, although the style is simple, but the clothes are gorgeous, the black clothes are faintly revealing the jumping silver threads, and they are even more brilliant in the sun, making the heroic faces more and more energetic.
Their actions attracted the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law on the street to stop and watch, and when they saw that they saluted respectfully to Miss Mu who was in the death pavilion, and shouted "sister-in-law", they were even more discussed.
Cai Wei was so ashamed that her face was red, she glared at Chen Yong, and shouted in a low voice, "Lord Chen, don't make fun of my little woman, you adults just left, why don't you catch up quickly, why do you stay here?" ”
Chen Yong smiled and didn't take it seriously at all, only hugged his fists and laughed, "Sister-in-law, the adults asked us to stay, saying that we wanted to protect my sister-in-law and not let my sister-in-law be wronged." ”
Cai Wei didn't expect that Lu Ying would leave so many people for herself before leaving, and she didn't know what it would feel like for a while.
This Lu Ying didn't explain to her, is this to stay to protect her, or to supervise her, lest she empathize and don't fall in love?
But what is it, she doesn't want to pursue it, anyway, these people are here, she doesn't care about eating, Lu Ying doesn't want these people to eat her and drink hers.
Walking past Chen Yong, Cai Wei only said coldly, "Then I will have to work for you." ”
Anyway, these people are only Lu Ying's head, and she can't convince them.
That being the case, they stay wherever they like.
Chen Yong even said "don't dare, don't dare", but he still followed Caiwei inch by inch.
One of the brocade guards saw Cai Wei stepping up the steps, and was about to push the door into the Death Pavilion, and hurriedly chased after him, shouting excitedly, "Sister-in-law, do you still have the fragrant and sweet medicine you took that day?" ”
Cai Wei looked back in amazement, looking at the young brocade guard with an expectant look, and finally remembered that this person had eaten her balm before, and Lu Ying stole it from her bedside table in the middle of the night.
Thinking that this person has always had an aftertaste for that taste, Cai Wei couldn't help but want to laugh. He's so stupid that he still thinks it's medicine.
Lu Ying, who didn't tell him the truth?
She suddenly laughed mischievously, "This brother, Lu Ying didn't tell you?" ”
The man looked at Cai Wei stupidly, and asked, "What did the lord tell his subordinates?" ”
Chen Yong was very unaccustomed to Cai Wei calling Lu Ying by her name, so he stepped forward and kindly told Cai Wei, "Sister-in-law, the adult's name can't be called directly." ”
"Oh, isn't that what a name is called? If you don't let me call, who do you want to call? Cai Wei hugged her arms, simply leaned on the door frame of the Death Pavilion, looked at Chen Yong, and sneered.
This guy is protecting his heart, Lu Ying himself doesn't take it seriously, he wants to set rules for her?
Chen Yong condensed, this little sister-in-law has sharp teeth, he is a rough person, and he really doesn't know how to answer her.
How can an ordinary woman call her husband's name and surname, and the adults of his family are also the commanders of the dignified brocade guards, so they are called by a girl's family, but it is very inappropriate.
He blinked, his hand subconsciously scratched the hair on the back of his head, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, you are calling Lord Lu, or husband." ”
"Nonsense." Cai Wei raised her eyebrows and glared at him in displeasure, "He is your adult, not my adult, which adult am I calling?" ”
Chen Yong was stunned by her mouthful, and just wanted to say something, Cai Wei intercepted it and said, "I haven't married him yet, why do you call him husband?" ”
Chen Yong is really speechless now, no matter how he says it, this little sister-in-law is really not easy to mess with.
He was so suffocated that his face turned red, and he didn't hold back a suitable and decent word.
Cai Wei looked at his embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
When I turned around, I saw that the brocade guard who stole the balm was still waiting for her, and couldn't help but be happy, "Brother, that's the balm I used to wipe my face, and I get ten taels of silver for one bite, it's not so delicious." ”
With that, she turned around and entered the Death Chamber.
The brocade guard who stole the balm was still standing there stupidly, and it took a long time to touch the back of his head, "My mother-in-law, one bite costs ten taels of silver, and that small bottle costs eight hundred and ten taels?" Then, will you be able to afford it after the adult? ”
"Smack", the brocade guard had already received a slap on the back of the head, and he was busy gathering his mind, but he saw Chen Yongzheng looking at him angrily.
He was startled, and he slumped at the loss of what to say.
"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat all day long? Can adults afford to raise it, do you want to take care of it? Chen Yong was deflated at Cai Wei's place, and there was nowhere to get angry, so he yelled at the brocade guard.
The brocade guard was very aggrieved and glanced at him like a little daughter-in-law, muttering, "Who doesn't know how to eat, don't you eat too?" ”
Chen Yong was so angry with this guy that he kicked him in his ass before he ordered the others, "People are divided into two groups, and they take turns to be on duty during the day and night." ”
"Yes." A row of black-clothed people shouted in unison, like thunder, which startled Cai Wei sitting in the door.
She glanced away, shook her head, and fell silent again.
Lu Ying left a total of ten brocade guards this time, all of which he picked and picked, bold and careful.
He didn't want Cai Wei to be taken captive by King Cheng like last time, he didn't want her to be frightened.
Although she was rescued by King Cheng from him intact every time, and she came back without any fright, but after all, she was a girl's family, how could she often suffer from these frightes?
This time, he sent the tongue he grabbed from Chengwang Cave back to Beijing, and he also returned to Beijing to report on his work, so he could only go there in person. Cai Wei didn't want to go with him, and he didn't want to force her, so he had to make such a plan.
If he had told Cai Wei in advance, Cai Wei would definitely not agree.
Simply, he cut first and then played, and left people behind, and Cai Wei would never pick up again.
What's more, he specially explained to Chen Yong that no matter what method he used, he must not let Cai Wei get into danger alone. During the days he left, Chen Yong had to make sure that Cai Wei was unscathed, otherwise he would come to see him.
Therefore, no matter what Cai Wei says, Chen Yong will stay here and not leave. This is the military order he made, and it is also the reassurance of the adults to him.
Cai Wei was very unaccustomed to the consultation, there was a row of cold black-clothed people standing outside the door, but she couldn't get rid of it, and she couldn't help it.
It seems that there are more patients who come to see the doctor than in the past, and most of the sick people are some young girls and daughters-in-law, and after they come, they have to stand at the door for a long time, one by one secretly obliquely touching the people in black.
Cai Wei is angry and funny, she is not seeing a doctor now, but watching a lively one.
This group of men in black are all handsome and heroic, and compared to the men in the town, they are naturally very popular.
What's more, there are several aunts and aunts who have daughters in their families, and when they meet, they don't talk about their illness, but they ask, "Girl, are these people your husband's brothers?" Did the family say that the daughter-in-law had it? ”
It's no wonder that people asked her so, when they called her sister-in-law, many people on the street heard it.
Cai Wei inadvertently became a sister-in-law who had to worry about her uncle's marriage.
Is this worth it?
Lu Ying didn't leave her a group of people to protect her, but to train her to become a matchmaker.
At the end of the day, there are not many people who really come to see the doctor, but there are a lot of people who pull coal, and they tell their daughters, and some ask their nieces. Anyway, everyone is holding on to her.
She couldn't help but think of the saying, "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother." ”
In the afternoon, she took the Li family's carriage to go home, and Chen Yong led several brothers to follow on tall horses to escort her home.
Cai Wei only felt that her head was buzzing, and she was so angry that she opened the curtain and shouted at Chen Yong, "What are you doing with me?" Don't you think it's getting into enough trouble? ”
Chen Yong knew that this master didn't like people to follow, but he had to listen to the orders of the adults.
He stubbornly slapped his horse to follow Cai Wei's car, leaned down, and talked to Cai Wei, who was outside the car window with half of her head exposed, "Sister-in-law, people also see that our brother is born well, and they want to marry their daughter to us." Anyway, it's not too much of a hassle, is it? ”
Cai Wei stared at Chen Yong for a long time, and couldn't help laughing.
This guy is hob meat, oil and salt don't enter, you say east, he can pull to the west, you say north, he can pull to the south.
No wonder Lu Ying left him, he dared to love him, he had already calculated it, and he couldn't say anything about Chen Yong?
She couldn't help but become indignant, and glared at Chen Yong angrily, "Listen, even if you go home with me, you won't have anything to eat or a place to sleep." ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about me waiting," Chen Yong smiled, "My subordinates and brothers have all experienced hard times, just eat some dry food and sleep on the ground." ”
He said it casually, but listening to it caused a burst of reverie in Cai Wei's heart.
This person, who looks to be only in his early twenties, how can he have suffered so much?
She silently lowered the curtain and leaned against the wall of the carriage to think about her thoughts.
Since there are so many people living in her house, she really can't ignore it, at least two meals a day has to be managed, and she has to let them sleep in bed, right?
In that case, she had to buy some food.
Anyway, this year there was a locust plague, and when winter came, I was afraid that the price of grain would rise, and I would not be able to buy it if I wanted to.
Thinking so, she told the coachman to go to the grain store.
While it's not yet a green festival, she needs to save some food.
As the saying goes, "there is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart".
Chen Yong thought that she didn't have rice and noodles at home, and when she saw that they were going, she deliberately went to buy food.
He hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists on the horse to thank him, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, your subordinates and brothers can eat whatever they want." ”
Cai Wei looked at him stunned, and suddenly laughed for a long time.
Chen Yong was extremely uncomfortable with her laughter, and he didn't know where he had said the wrong thing.
Cai Wei didn't reveal it, but just laughed unrestrainedly.
Chen Yong was confused, and he really couldn't understand how this girl laughed.
When she arrived at the grain store, Cai Wei bought some of all kinds of food.
She spent all the money she had brought with her, and when she came out, Chen Yong and several brothers were carrying bags of rice on their shoulders, which were either sorghum or corn, as well as a few fine noodles.
Chen Yong asked Cai Wei, who was walking in front, in surprise, "Sister-in-law, is there a shortage of rice noodles at home?" ”
He was embarrassed to ask if the family had been out for a long time?
After all, they live in her house, how can they let their sister-in-law go hungry?
Cai Wei smiled and didn't answer, just instructed them to put the rice noodles in the carriage, and then took everyone home.
After Widow Mu drove the chickens to the chicken coop in the old house, she went home and pushed the door to see that Cai Wei had returned, and there was a row of young people in black standing behind her, and she couldn't help but be startled.
Cai Wei was afraid that she would be frightened, so she hurriedly said the reason, "Mother, your daughter can be regarded as the right person, Xiao Luzi is an official, this is the person he left to protect me." ”
Even if she said this, Widow Mu was so shocked that her face turned pale, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Xiao Luzi is not a wanderer? Is he still an official?
She opened her mouth wide, stared at her round eyes, and looked at the man in black who was standing upright without blinking, her lips moving, and she couldn't say a word.
