"Ling'er is also older, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage, but she has never liked anyone. Just four months ago, one day Ling'er went out to play, in the peach forest by the lake, and suddenly I don't know where a few masked robbers came, you know, how many years, I have never heard of robbers in the peach forest by the lake. Just when Ling'er was about to be caught by those robbers, fortunately a young man came to the rescue, and the young man was very skilled, and he beat the robbers away with three punches and two feet, and Ling'er escaped. ”

"Oh? A young man? Are we from Caojiazhuang? Cao Xiaohui asked with a slight frown.

"No, the young man claimed to be Hua Mantian, a foreigner, because he happened to pass by here, and it happened that Ling'er was in danger, so he came to the rescue. Ling'er warmly invited him to come to the house as a guest, and he did not refuse. During this time, I asked him about his background, and he said that he was an orphan whose parents had died since he was a child, and that he was wandering around, alas, a poor child. ”

Speaking of this, the second aunt paused, Xiaohu was a person who knew how to watch things, and hurriedly took a cup of tea and handed it over.

"Thank you", the second aunt took the tea, took a sip, and then said: "That flower is also beautiful eyebrows, a talent, Ling'er has a good impression of her, in order to thank him for saving his life, I kept him at home for a few days, he shirked that it was inconvenient to live at home, so he went to the town to find an inn to live in. Since then, he and Ling'er have often met in the peach forest by the lake, and the two admire each other, and it didn't take long for the two to fall in love and couldn't extricate themselves. ”

"Oh? So where is this flower now? Ling'er is sick like this, why don't you see him come to visit? Cao Xiaohui said with some annoyance.

"Alas, the root of Ling'er's illness is in this flower mantian!"

What do you mean by that? Could it be that the flower is full of empathy and love, and abandons Ling'er? ”

"Who knows, it may or may not be, in short, things are very strange," the second aunt shook her head as she spoke.

"What the hell is going on? Second aunt, tell me! Cao Xiaohui was confused when she heard it, and couldn't help but ask.

Nie Xiaohu gently patted Cao Xiaohui's shoulder, shook his head, and signaled him not to worry.

"Ling'er and Hua Mantian are in love, I also see it in my eyes and joy in my heart, but one person is strongly opposed."

"Who is it?" Cao Xiaohui couldn't help but ask.

"It's Ling'er's cousin, Hu Kuixin, whenever Ling'er mentions flowers to him, he is always very bored, saying that a foreigner can't believe it too much, and telling Ling'er not to be deceived by him. But where can Ling'er listen, regardless of his opposition, the relationship with Hua Mantian is also increasing day by day.

Every time Hua Mantian came to the house to look for Ling'er, he also took advantage of Hu Kuixin's time to go out, for fear of colliding with him. Ling'er and Hua Mantian have been together for a few months, the two have been like glue, and it is difficult to leave, and finally one day, the two have made a private decision for life under the moon before Hua. ”

"And then?"

"One day, while Hu Kuixin was away, the two came to the house and told me about the private life, because Hua Mantian's parents died and he was an orphan, so he was also willing to join my family, so that our mother and son also had something to rely on, and I naturally agreed.

Ling'er knew that Hu Kuixin was strongly opposed to this family business, so she wanted to cut it first and then play it, and set a wedding date, and the date was chosen when Hu Kuixin went out to do business, which was also afraid that there would be a bad scene at the wedding. ”

"Did you have a wedding?"

"The matter appeared at this wedding" The second aunt sighed, "I thought that it was okay to cut first and then play, but after all, Ling'er's cousin was the custodian appointed by his father before his death, and he couldn't say anything about it without knowing it, so after Hu Kuixin left, that is, three days before the wedding, I repaired a letter explaining Ling'er's marriage and asked someone to bring it to Hu Kuixin." ”

"Then Hu Kuixin rushed back to make trouble?" Cao Xiaohui subconsciously clenched her fists.

"That's not true, after Hu Kuixin received the letter, he replied to me, saying that the matter had come to this point, and he didn't want to say anything more, try to rush back on Ling'er's wedding day and have a glass of wine."

"Oh? So Hu Kuixin changed so fast? ”

Maybe he also knew that he couldn't stop it, and the wedding date had been set. Hu Kuixin's transformation also made my hanging heart finally fall to the ground. On the day of the wedding, Hu Kuixin really rushed back, but he was a little unhappy and did not act excessively. ”

"Auntie, can I read the letter?" Nie Xiaohu on the side asked.

"Here", the second aunt got up, walked to a cabinet, opened the cabinet, took out a letter from it, and handed it to Nie Xiaohu.

Nie Xiaohu took the letter, opened it and looked at it.

"This paper is very special, it's not the same as what I usually use!" , Nie Xiaohu pinched the letter paper.

"This is our unique paper in Caojiazhuang, using our ancestors' unique papermaking techniques, the paper made is different from the outside, this kind of paper we only use for our own use, not take-out", the second aunt nodded and said.

"So that's the case", Nie Xiaohu nodded, "Auntie, can I keep this letter for the time being?" Maybe it can help us. Nie Xiaohu asked respectfully.

"Then you can keep it, it won't be of any use to me anyway."

"Did the wedding go well?" Cao Xiaohui then asked.

"Alas", mentioning the wedding, the second aunt's tears couldn't stop flowing, "My hard-working spirit! ”

The second aunt sobbed for a while, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then said: "On the day of the wedding, Ling'er happily dressed up, since his father died, I have never seen her so happy. The patriarchs, elders, fathers and villagers all came to say goodbye, waiting for the groom to come and greet him. As a result, the result ......"

"What was the result?" Cao Xiaohui was inexplicably a little excited.

"As a result, I waited from the morning until it was dark, and the flowers did not appear all over the sky."

"The groom didn't come?" Cao Xiaohui couldn't help frowning, puzzled.

"Yes, it hasn't been seen since. Hu Kuixin was very angry, and said something like the stranger was unreliable, and Ling'er was deceived by her feelings, and all the villagers echoed it. After that, Ling'er was like a lost soul, locked herself in her room all day long, sullen, often talking to herself, and fell ill not long after. ”

After speaking, the second aunt couldn't help sobbing again.

"Have you seen it?"

"Look, I spared no expense to invite the most famous doctor in the vicinity, Xue Wuxi, to come to Ling'er for diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Xue said that Ling'er is lovesick, resulting in a heart blockage, can only recuperate, to prescribe a prescription to nourish blood and replenish qi, said that if you want to completely cure Ling'er's disease, you can only untie the knot in her heart, otherwise no one can save her.

It's been more than a month, the medicine is drinking on time, but it doesn't work, seeing Ling'er getting thinner and thinner, my old wife can't do anything, if Ling'er has three long and two short, I don't want to live, but when I get there, I don't have the face to see Ling'er and his father! ”

The second aunt couldn't help crying.

The two persuaded again, and after a long while, the second aunt stopped her grief.

"Xiaohui, second aunt begs you something"
