Chapter 116: Picking
Wangcai stood at the door, seeing his son's frowns, he couldn't help but step forward and persuade, "Childe, the doctor said that you have to take care of your injuries, you can't bother, if you have something small, go to Zhang Luo, and the son should sleep." ”
Chu Gehuan came back to his senses and sighed with a wry smile, "That's it, that's it, I've eaten it, and I won't be so easy to get through next time." ”
Wangcai didn't understand what this meant, and he had to ask again, but he heard Chu Gehuan say again, "Go to the treasury and pick up a few brocades, two boxes of silver jewelry, and two boxes of rouge gouache, and send them to the Zhao family in Yunjia Village, and say thank you Zhao Niangzi for helping." ”
When Wangcai responded, he was about to go out, and was called back by Chu Gehuan, the pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and said with an evil smile, "Remember that the brocade should be elegantly colored, and add two soft fine cotton." ”
"Childe, don't you send muslin?" Wangcai was shocked and wanted to ask, but was glared back by Childe with a cold eye, and hurriedly ran out.
Chu Gehuan lay on his side and sighed lightly, "I've been so lively, your life can't be too clean..."
Rui Xue was far away at the dock, naturally he didn't know that the chickens and dogs in Tianfu and Chu Mansion were jumping, he opened the door every day to do business, went home to cook and settle accounts, and urged Wu Yu to learn and read, and his life was very peaceful.
On this day, two little stewards came to the south house, ordered two dishes, a pot of wine, chatted about the past, talked about the new things in the city, and laughed at how ridiculous the two young men of the Chu family were, the bolt had heard the stone talk about the master and servant of the Chu family that day, and when he heard those words, he quit and learned to say it again, the more Rui Xue listened to the corners of his mouth, the higher he was relieved, Chu Gehuan was a big ugly man this time. Thinking about it, he regretted it a little, since he went to the Qinglou, the second lady of the Tian family was only half of the success, I wonder if she, a delicate woman, can successfully marry into the Chu family?
Zhao Fengnian took Da Zhuang and Wu Yu a few, carrying a rope, measuring the length and width of the front and back of his yard, how to calculate, he felt that this piece of land, building a yard with a workshop in two, some of it was too narrow, I couldn't say, I had to find more homesteads in Lizheng, and by the way, I also changed the name of the title deed of this small yard.
Da Zhuang and Heizi both felt that building a house was a big deal, and it was very glorious that they could help, so they worked very hard before and after, that is, Wu Yu smiled because he thought that he would not have to go to Zhang's house to live in the future.
One big and three small, followed by the frolicking two strong and three girls, who were busy walking around the back garden, they could hear the neighing of horses in the front yard, and soon Lei Zi ran over to say, "Shopkeeper, there is a small guy in front of the courtyard to give a thank you gift." ”
"A thank you gift?" Zhao Fengnian originally thought that it was Old Man Tian, or his two unobtrusive daughters came to the door again, but he didn't expect to hear such a reason, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't have any help, so he walked to the front yard out of curiosity.
Wangcai saw a group of people coming out of the corner door at the back, the man in green shirt who started his head, tall and straight, handsome and elegant, looked more expensive than his own son-in-law, and guessed that this must be the husband of Zhao Niangzi, and sighed in his heart for some reason, maybe a woman like Zhao Niangzi is only worthy of such a man, and his own son-in-law is afraid that it will be in vain.
Thinking like this in his heart, he added three points of respect to his face, bowed down, and said, "Little Wangcai greets Mr. Zhao." ”
Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows, looked at Wangcai carefully, he had indeed never seen it, so he replied with a half-salute and asked, "I don't know where the little brother came from, and why did he come to the door?" ”
Wangcai remembered the thank you gift in the car, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he replied vaguely, "My son-in-law, I encountered an incident the day before yesterday, and when I was in danger, I was fortunate to have Mrs. Zhao to help. ”
Zhao Fengnian heard that he didn't report the name of the master, didn't say what was going to help, only said that he came to give a thank you gift, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. Man!
"My lady is not here, it's not good to collect thank you gifts for her at will, it's better to go back first and come back another day."
Wangcai's eyes rolled, and he said with a bitter face, "Can Mr. be accommodating one or two, and accept this thank you gift for Mrs. Zhao first, the little one is just an errand runner, if you can't even send a thank you gift, my son-in-law will definitely punish the small one, and I hope Mr. will be magnanimous." ”
Zhao Fengnian was indeed angry, so he didn't want to accept the thank you, at this time, he heard him pleading, and his heart was a little loose, thinking that Rui Xue would ask again when he came back, and at most he would send someone back tomorrow.
So, he nodded reluctantly and replied, "Let's put it down first." ”
After thanking him, he called the coachman together, hugged a bunch of each of them, put them on a long board, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
Several children were attracted by a few delicate gift boxes and bright satin, and looked around carefully, and the three girls dragged a corner of muslin, and shouted with a smile, "This is soft, it's so good." ”
Er Zhuang also moved his nose and said, "A little bit of heart." ”
Da Zhuang was afraid that his younger siblings would be rude in front of him, so he hurriedly pulled them aside, and was about to speak, but the corner of his eyes swept Mr. 's face was solemn, and he was so frightened that he immediately led his younger siblings to take a few steps back, and he was puzzled, although Mr. was not kind and pleasant just now, but he was not so angry.
Zhao Fengnian strode to the front of the board, knocked down a few plain silk satins on it, revealing two soft cotton cloths underneath, his face became darker and darker, no wonder the little guy was so anxious to leave, as if they had a man-eating beast in the Zhao family, it turned out that there was a cat in this thank-you gift, good, really good, this is a provocation to him, or is it like he announced something?
Ruixue has been in a good mood since she heard about Chu Gehuan, thinking that she hadn't been home for more than half a month, so she packed half a basket of big buns and drove him back to the city early, and then closed the shop with Sister-in-law Zhang, and returned to the village with a smile.
Far from arriving at the door, I saw Wu Yu squatting outside the gate, fiddling with the stones, how lonely the back looked, although this child had a good time with Da Zhuang and Heizi, but after all, he was older and had different previous experiences, so he was still a little out of place in the end.
She felt sorry in her heart, so she opened her mouth and shouted, "Brother Yu, my sister is back." ”
Sure enough, Wu Yu heard his sister shouting, immediately raised his head, with a bright and cheerful smile on his face, trotted over to meet him, took the basket in his sister's hand, and complained, "Sister, I'm late to come back today." ”
Rui Xue put her arm around his shoulder, "Sister is greedy for money, don't you want to make more money and marry you a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future!" ”
"I won't marry, my sister should come back early!" Wu Yu didn't like to marry his daughter-in-law, and his delicate two willow eyebrows wrinkled again, which made Ruixue laugh, "Okay, okay, have you eaten enough at noon, my sister will stew tofu and mutton soup for you in the evening, sprinkle some green onion cores, and drink two bowls of hot water, okay?" ”
"Okay."
The sister and brother get along so closely and happily that Sister-in-law Zhang looked envious and said with a smile, "Outsiders don't know, I'm afraid they all think you are sisters and brothers." ”
Rui Xue smiled, "This is my own brother, I still expect him to support me in the future." ”
Wu Yu lowered his eyes, walked silently without speaking, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang's sister-in-law returned to her house, and the sister and brother also entered the wooden door.
Wu Yu suddenly remembered what happened in the afternoon, so he said, "Sister, in the afternoon, a little guy named Wangcai came to give a thank you gift, and Mr. accepted it, but his face was not good. ”
"Wangcai?" Rui Xue thought carefully for a long time before remembering that this was the name of Shi's cousin, so she frowned slightly, and couldn't guess what new tricks this Chu Ershao had come up with?
She didn't think that after he made such a big fool, he wouldn't have imagined that she would do something in it, and he would be so sincere and thankful? The most important thing is that this thank you gift was not sent to the dock, but directly to the home, which was clearly set up for her!
Thinking like this, her steps slowed down, and countless thoughts quickly turned in her heart, if Zhao Fengnian asked, would she confess the process of getting acquainted with Chu Gehuan, or would she hide it?
After weighing it for a long time, he finally decided to hide it, Zhao Fengnian is a person with strong self-esteem, if he knew that he could save his life because of the hardships of that day, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that what she wants is never his gratitude, it is love! She didn't want him to feel that she was entangled here with dense care, gratitude, and couldn't move...
As soon as the sister and brother pushed open the door of the house, they saw Zhao Fengnian sitting at the table in a daze, the table was full of gift boxes and cloths, Rui Xue smiled and said hello, "Shopkeeper, I'm back." ”
As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and drank it, then fiddled with the thank-you gifts, and said with a smile, "This Chu Gongzi is really generous, and the thank-you gifts are generous enough." ”
Zhao Fengnian originally planned to let Rui Xue enter the house, if he immediately explained a few words to him, explained his relationship with this gift-giver, and then sent the thank you gift back intact, he would forgive her.
Unexpectedly, she didn't say a word when she entered the room, but she seemed to be very satisfied with this thank you gift, and her heart was even more annoyed, and her words inevitably became sharper, "What, this thank you gift is very much to your liking?" I don't know, but you still have the ability to help people through trouble? ”
Rui Xue heard that his tone was wrong, and put aside the excuse she had thought of in advance, and her face pale, "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by this?" ”
"What do you mean? Naturally, it is to praise you for your good skills! Zhao Fengnian sneered, "I've only been sick for half a month, and you accosted a rich boy outside, and you actually sent all the thank-you gifts to your home, shouldn't you praise it?" Do you know how to write the word 'women's way'? What does it mean to know the word chastity? ”
"Pick-up? Rich boy? Women's way? Chastity? This is doubting her innocence, Rui Xue repeated word by word, and the anger also came to her head layer by layer, and in an instant, the torment and grievances she had suffered these days all came to her heart, which made her almost cry, she tried her best to straighten her back, and her face became more and more light, "Originally, I was still thinking of making an excuse to hide this matter, but at this time, it seems that it is purely superfluous, since the shopkeeper wants to know, how can I talk to this rich boy, then I will tell the truth."
On the Yuan Festival, in the restaurant, you vomited blood and got sick, the doctor asked me to prepare for you, I didn't want to see you die, went out and bumped around, met this rich son, and asked for help, so I took me to Tian's house for help, and worked hard to scatter all the family wealth to save your life. If I hadn't accosted this person, you would have rotted in the soil now, and if I hadn't accosted this person, your soul would have been reincarnated! ”
"You, you..." After Zhao Fengnian recovered from his illness, Rui Xue didn't want him to feel guilty, let alone mention the woman who remarried, so he only said a few words, and today he suddenly heard Rui Xue talk about the hardships of the day in a light tone, which was extremely sarcastic, and his heart was like being knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know whether to feel distressed, guilty, or annoyed.
Rui Xue ignored him, anyway, she had already picked up the pus in her heart, and simply said clearly, "Although I am not a wise person, I also consider myself not stupid." You heard that a woman remarried, so angry that she vomited blood and became ill, I knew it in my heart, I still asked for help everywhere, and pulled you back to the yang world, how aggrieved I was, but I never asked you what you had to do with that woman? Today I only received a thank-you gift, and you have not seen me transgress with other men, and you have insulted me like this. You ask yourself, do you remember how to write the word 'fairness'? If you dislike me for occupying the position of Zhao Niangzi, and dislike me for hindering you from finding that woman, then it's easy to do, we... We..."
Rui Xue's lips trembled, and she grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, the green tendons on the back of her hands burst out, and she took a hard breath before she spit out the two words, "Heli!" I'll give her a place, you don't have to deduct my unchaste name first, this method is too inferior, I'm sorry I treat you sincerely for half a year! ”
After speaking, she turned around and pulled Wu Yu, who had been stunned for a long time, pushed the door and went out, before she could enter the stove, the tears could no longer be stopped, crackling and falling, like the most urgent rain in summer, without warning, but it was the most fierce and urgent.
