"Yes, yes, yes, that's right!!" Yun Meng seemed to have caught a life-saving grass, and hurriedly picked up her mother-in-law's words, and said, "Brother Mu Ze, you heard it wrong, I mean to borrow this groom for the cherry girl, what, what kind of concubine, you heard it wrong." Unbelief...... If you don't believe me, you ask the grooms, you ask my maids. ”

"Ridiculous!!" Zhou Muze shook off Yunmeng: "When am I a fool?" If it's so clear, can I still hear it clearly? As he spoke, he glared at the mother-in-law who was about to speak: "You mother-in-law, you are cunning. Get the hell out of here now! If you dare to open your mouth, your tongue will be cut!! ”

An Pozi covered her mouth tightly in fright, and ran out with a stream of urine.

Zhou Muze glared at him, and the other people in the room, including the groom, also retreated. Now, his expression and aura are like a demon king who has come out of hell, and even Cherry is a little scared when he sees it.

"You say." Zhou Muze slightly pushed half a step towards Yunmeng, his face was gloomy and scary, and his voice was even more chilling: "Is this related to the princess?" What kind of concubine's idea is this, did she support you? ”

Where has Yun Meng seen this formation, his small mouth is tightly pursed, his nose is slightly wrinkled, and he looks at Zhou Muze with fear on his face, as if he is on the verge of collapse, and his big watery eyes are pitifully blinking.

Zhou Muze squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Yunmeng motionlessly.

Suddenly, Yun Meng cried loudly: "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want to be the princess of the princess...... Brother Mu Ze, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, wow wow wow...... It's none of my business, it's none of my business...... It was all my aunt's idea, and it was all my aunt's words. Whatever she says, I do, woowoo......"

Yunmeng is fifteen this year, although it is now the age when he should become a mother, but he is still a child in modern times. Seeing that she was crying so fiercely, pitiful, Cherry was a little unbearable, and stepped forward and tugged Zhou Muze's sleeve: "She's just a person who is being used, don't scare her too much." ”

"Hmph." Zhou Muze snorted coldly, looked at the cherry, and his eyes softened slightly: "I still have something to tell her, you go back to the back room first." Walnut is also in the back room, probably scared, you go to comfort her. ”

"Okay." Cherry didn't say much, turned around and glanced at Yun Meng, who was crying, and turned around and went into the back room.

I don't know what Zhou Muze said again, Yun Meng's crying quickly stopped. There was a murmuring voice from the outer hall, and I couldn't hear it clearly, and Cherry wasn't in the mood to listen. Gently comforting the frightened Walnut, Cherry simply practiced calligraphy with her on the kang to distract her.

After a while, the footsteps of Xi Suo sounded outside, followed by Zhou Muze's clear voice standing at the door of the house: "Why don't you hurry up and help your master?" The good students are waiting, the good students are protecting, and they hurry back to the county seat. What you see, what you hear, what you should say or not, you have to have your own measure!! ”

Cherry hurriedly leaned on the window and looked out, only to see that the people waiting in the yard hurriedly welcomed Yunmeng out of the yard, got into the carriage, and ran away.

"It's really a poisonous woman with a femme fatale's heart, and such a trick has been used more than once. Who knew that several of the poor concubines around the prince at that time were killed by her in this way. This time I was bumped into, and she would not dare to act rashly for a while. But it was only a few days before she had to struggle again. Zhou Muze didn't say anything about his conversation with Yun Meng, but only carefully told Cherry: "Be careful recently." ”

"You'd have to be careful." Cherry pursed her lips slightly. Obviously, the princess and Zhou Muze are mortal enemies now, and in the final result, there will inevitably be a flag. Once the princess sees that Zhou Muze can't get together, she will definitely want to destroy him, such a scheming and scheming woman will never watch someone else's son ascend to the throne of the prince, and she is still this person's mother-killing enemy.

"At least, she won't be moving again for a few days. I have to go back, too. Zhou Muze frowned slightly: "This time the prince comes back, I will find a way to let him know about your existence." If it goes well, I will take you to the palace to stay. When the time comes, you need to be prepared. ”

"Stay?" Cherry was a little worried: "That place, I have a headache when I think about it now, and I still go to live?" ”

"I don't like that place either, but there's no other way around it right now. Later, I'll find a way to separate it out of it. Zhou Muze sighed lightly: "There have been too many things in the palace recently, and now it's the New Year's Festival, after this while, I will mention the matter of Wang Shizi to the prince again, if I can't do it, I won't do it." I'd rather be free with you. ”

"And when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning. I have to say goodbye to your family. ”

"Okay." Cherry nodded, there was no other way at the moment.

"Seeing that the New Year is coming, I will send someone to deliver some fish and meat for the New Year in a few days. I'm too busy for the New Year, so I may not be able to come. After the New Year's Festival, I will send someone to pick you up into the house as soon as possible, so that the princess will not disappear, and she will keep stuffing women over. ”

After a while, it began to get dark.

Estimating that it was almost time for the cotton peach to return, Cherry began to prepare the meal. Yue Wenhai next door also came over early to wait, pestering Zhou Muze to play two plates by the way.

Early the next morning, Zhou Muze left and returned to Jingqing County.

As he left, the speculative eyes in the village did not stop, on the contrary, they became more and more intense. Because someone recognized Zhou Muze. The illegitimate son of the prince was fostered in the Li Mansion, and later became famous, entered the palace, and is now the prince of the king. Heaven...... That's the prince of the king, the one who will be the prince in the future!! Who doesn't know that the six counties in the vicinity are all under the jurisdiction of the prince? Could it be that Yue Gui and his wife really have spirits in the sky, bless their daughters to marry better than the other? With wave after wave of speculation, the attitude of the people in the village towards the Yue family is quietly changing.

The time has entered the wax moon, and all families have begun to be busy with the New Year's Festival.

As the New Year approached, the business in the wine house became even hotter, and the cotton peaches were not available, so the work at home could only be done by cherries and walnuts. The steamed buns, small noodle fish, red bean buns, glutinous rice buns, sugar horns, and the blessing couplets to be unveiled, as well as the new clothes for the New Year's Festival, and the cleaning of the house, are busy for a while, and there is no time to think about the Zhou family.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, everything to be bought at home, to be cleaned up, is almost the same. Cherry took the walnuts and prepared to go to the village market in Shuanghe Village to buy some more things.

Just got on the small bridge in the east, a woman with a red jacket and green pants walked up, and the corner of her mouth took an ink pen and lit a black mole, as if others didn't know that she was a matchmaker.

A strong smell of fat powder rushed towards her, and Cherry subconsciously stepped up to avoid it, but the woman stretched out her arm and stopped Cherry: "Fourth girl, where are you going?" ”

Helplessly, Cherry pulled out a smile: "Aunt Hu, today is the village fair in Shuanghe Village, let's go and see if there is anything to buy." ”

This Hu matchmaker is a native of Xiaomiao Village, and it is the first time that she is so enthusiastic about cherries.

"Hey, that's not a hurry, no one is ready yet. My aunt has something to tell you, can you listen to it first? Mrs. Hu stepped forward and cordially took Cherry's hand: "Look at it, this thin skin and tender meat are really good." ”

"Heh, hehe...... What's up? Cherry turned her face, the fat smell was too choking.

"Me" Mrs. Hu clapped her hands, with an excited face: "I helped your fourth uncle see the doorman!" The woman is a woman who has only been married for a long time, lost her husband, and did not even leave a child, and left the house!! I have already asked someone to calculate, and the death of her husband was not her husband, but the bad feng shui of her husband's family. On the contrary, this woman is prosperous! The length is also good, the age is good, with your fourth uncle, just right for that!! ”

"Is there such a good one?" Cherry is looking. Since the fourth aunt went to prison, it has been half a year. The fourth uncle has come out of that uncomfortable state, and he didn't go out to work anymore, so he did work at home and took care of Xiaobao. But he is still young, and he can't be single like this all the time, and Xiaobao can't live without a mother. The fourth uncle's remarriage, Cherry also thought about it. It's just that the ancient customs are different, the widowed will generally be widowed and will not remarry, and those who have been divorced will not dare to ask for it, so this matter has been hesitant.

"Naturally, it's good, it's good, is my aunt still thinking about you!!" Mrs. Hu's smiling face was about to bloom, and she kept clapping her hands: "You say something new." The fourth aunt goes back, and your fourth uncle will still have a complete family in the future, and when he comes home after a tiring day of working outside, someone is in pain, someone is cooking, there is a hot kang, and Xiaobao is also taken care of, how good do you say? ”

Cherry looked serious: "Auntie, where is this woman from?" Where is the husband's family? Where are the people now? What about temperament? If it's really good, my aunt will definitely help me keep it. ”

"Everything is good! Otherwise, my aunt dares to mention it to you? Hu Pozi took out an orchid finger a little proudly and danced a few times into the void: "You see it, you take a fancy to it!" If you don't feel at ease, my aunt will arrange for you to meet first, and if you take a fancy to it, I will show it to your fourth uncle!! ”

"Not really, it's not good." Cherry waved his hand hurriedly.

"What's wrong? This woman was originally from Luliu Village, but later married in Nanhu Village, and after her husband died, she was cleaned out of the house by her husband's family. Her mother died early, and there are brothers and sisters-in-law at home, and they don't want her. Now there is no way, only to get a stove and set up a stall at the entrance of the town to sell tea eggs. Every time you walk from there, you can see it. Just pay attention next time and take a few more looks. ”

"Oh, I haven't seen it before." These days are busy with the New Year's Festival, and I rushed to the town market five or six days ago, and then I really haven't been from there again, and I haven't noticed that there is a tea egg seller. Cherry rolled her eyes and looked at the walnuts with a grin: "Or, let's not go to the village market in Shuanghe Village, and go to the town to buy it instead?" Anyway, it's almost the New Year's Festival these days, and there are a lot of people selling things in the town every day, which is similar to the fair. ”
