Amber was tired all the way, and left the table early to rest with the wind in the wind, leaving Bai Zhanpeng and the three of them to withdraw from the banquet, while slowly drinking tea to relieve hangover, while gossiping, and finally waiting for Zhao Fengnian to come back, he half complained, half joked, "Where did Brother Zhao go?" Could it be that my sister-in-law brought you something good? Acacia red beans or concentric knots? ”

Zhao Fengnian stretched out his hand to fill them with tea, and then asked about the trivial matters of their respective years, Chen Jiading and Luan Hong glanced at each other, each took out a silver ingot of ten taels and gave it to Bai Zhanpeng, and sighed, "Brother Bai Xian, it is not glorious for you to win this silver, you have been to Lingfeng City, naturally you know Brother Zhao is afraid of his wife better than us... No, it's to cherish my sister-in-law, and I don't want to gossip about my sister-in-law's drinking. ”

Bai Zhanpeng laughed proudly, "You didn't believe it just now, it's not that I didn't remind you." As he spoke, he reached out for the silver bill, but the afterimage flashed before him, and one of the silver bills was missing.

Zhao Fengnian smiled and threw the silver coin in his hand, and after taking it, he stuffed it into his arms, "Since it involves your sister-in-law, I'll collect half of the bet for her as a reward." ”

Bai Zhanpeng hurriedly grabbed the remaining ingot in his hand, and said angrily, "Second brother, this is a @robbery!" ”

Chen Jiading and Luan Hong gloated, clapped their hands and laughed, "This reward should be collected, it should be collected!" ”

After laughing, Chen Jiading took a sip of tea and said softly, "Although I haven't seen my sister-in-law's face, I can see that Brother Zhao's temperament is much more mellow than in the past, and it must be the credit of my sister-in-law. ”

Luan Hong also said, "When Brother Zhao returns to Lingfeng City, or takes his sister-in-law to live here for a long time, you must let the brothers see what is so extraordinary about your sister-in-law?" ”

Zhao Fengnian glanced at him, then raised his eyebrows but did not speak, Luan Hong waited for a long time, looked at Bai Zhanpeng suspiciously, Bai Zhanpeng put down the teacup, shook the folding fan and said, "The second brother is afraid that he is slandering in his heart at this time, and his sister-in-law is not a monkey on the mountain.

Luan Hong suddenly realized, and hurriedly changed his words and said, "No, no, it is the brothers who must meet their sister-in-law and give their sister-in-law a good salute." ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”

Everyone has seen people who are afraid of their wives, and they have seen people who are crazy about lovesickness for women, but there is no one who can not even tolerate the slightest mistake in his words to protect his wife like this.

Chen Luan and the others both looked surprised and puzzled, if it weren't for the fact that a few of them talked about a lot of old things, they would almost have thought that what was sitting here was just the shell of a friend, and the soul had been replaced by another person...

In the middle of the moon, the four of them dispersed happily, Bai Zhanpeng and Luan Hong joked that they wanted to send Chen Jiading home, but he relied on the gossip that he heard the daughter of his son as his own son, and confidently refused the two, and took the car home to share it with his wife.

Zhao Fengnian walked around the house, and saw that his father was already asleep, and the lights were turned off in Amber's house, so he read the book carefully under the lamp, carefully pressed it under the pillow, and slowly fell asleep.

In the main courtyard of the Wu family in the east of the city, it is contrary to the usual, so late at night, it is still brightly lit, seven or eight maids and women are hiding under the eaves of the porch, their eyes are glancing at the door of the house, but their mouths are timidly whispering, an old woman is half complaining and half worried and said, "How is this good, last time I didn't stop Miss, I have been scolded by Mrs., this time Miss is afraid that she is even more annoyed, and I don't know how to toss us?" ”

A little maid also had a bitter face, and echoed, "After all, Mama is still serving Madame, and we who follow Miss are even more pitiful, last time Miss lost face in the Zhao family, and after she came back, she pointed out a trivial matter and slapped Sister Cuilian and their faces swollen..."

A big girl next to her, who seemed to have a lot of prestige among the crowd, coughed in a low voice and said, "That's it, let's talk less about the master's affairs, otherwise there will be any rumors outside, and the first to be punished is us, or serve the young lady well, and it is only right to report to the lady if there is something." ”

Everyone nodded, then stood with their heads bowed, listening carefully to the movement in the room.

Wu Xiangyun's fingers holding the teacup were white, and she refused to believe that the man she liked had become her own child, "No, Dad must have heard it wrong, or Brother Fengnian is still angry about changing the marriage contract, so he panicked, he will never marry me again!" When pigs fly. ”

Master Wu remembered Zhao Fengnian's appearance of not eating oil and salt just now, soft and hard, and he was also annoyed, grabbed the teacup, drank the tea in a few sips, and then felt that the anger in his heart was a little less, and said, "For my father, I still have some eyesight, and the person surnamed Zhao is by no means lying, I am afraid that he really has a family." ”

Wu Xiangyun's face was pale, his silver teeth were clenched, and he almost roared, and asked, "Then whose daughter did he marry, an official or a businessman?" ”

Master Wu sneered, "According to what he said, he became a relative in the village where he was recuperating from his injuries, and the woman was a wild girl from a peasant family." ”

"Wild girl?" Hearing the identity of the woman, not only Wu Xiangyun didn't believe it, but even Mrs. Wu said, "I'm afraid I heard it wrong, no matter what the Zhao family says, it can be regarded as the number one businessman in our Wu Kingdom, and the eldest son actually married a wild girl from a peasant family, and if this spreads, he is not afraid of being laughed at?" ”

"The surnamed Zhao said that he was injured on the head at the time, forgot the past, and no one took care of the injury, so he married a wife in the village, and just had a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses last month."

Wu Xiangyun was stunned for a long time, suddenly dropped the teacup in his hand, and cried angrily, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" How could Brother Fengnian marry a wild girl! He must be angry with me, and after a few days he will be angry, and then..."

"Shut up!" Master Wu was already angry, and when he saw his daughter lose her temper, he was even more annoyed, "Don't you still toss enough, if you hadn't cried and forced me to come to the door to probe the wind, I wouldn't have even lost my old face, and now that the surname Zhao is already my own son, what else would you do?" Let's think about what excuse we can find to postpone the wedding! The surnamed Zhao keeps saying that he wants you to marry Zhao De's prodigal son as scheduled! ”

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, glared at his wife again, and scolded, "These are all good daughters born to you!" ”

Mrs. Wu also had a bad face, and she didn't dare to speak if she wanted to refute, but she saw him striding out of the outer door, as if she was going to leave them alone, and immediately chased after her and shouted, "Master, master, where are you going?" We just have a daughter for Yun'er..."

"Where can I go, write a letter to Wudu, and ask my eldest brother to get an idea!" Master Wu's helpless voice came from afar with the night wind, which also made Mrs. Wu breathe a sigh of relief, and turned around to see her daughter crying pear blossoms and rain, she only felt that her head throbbed even more, and coaxed, "Yun'er, now that you want to change the marriage contract back, I'm afraid it won't work, even if you really change the marriage contract, with our family background, even if you marry him as a flat wife, you will make outsiders laugh, not to mention that the wife is still a farmer's wild girl, our Wu family can't afford to lose this face." ”

"I don't believe it," Wu Xiangyun shook his head vigorously, shaking so much that the red gold steps on his sideburns were about to fall off, "I don't believe that Brother Fengnian is his own son, I will go to see him tomorrow, I must listen to him himself." He treated me so well, why did he marry someone else? ”

"Confused!" Mrs. Wu took her daughter's hand hard and scolded in a low voice, "In terms of etiquette, you are now his younger brother and sister, how can you accuse him of marrying another person?" If there are any more bad rumors, your name will be completely finished. ”

Wu Xiangyun was willing to listen and talk again, but Mrs. Wu had already made up her mind, pulled her daughter back to her boudoir directly, and told her again and again not to act recklessly, and then ruthlessly ignored her daughter's teary eyes and turned around and went out.

waved his hand and beckoned the maids to step forward, and commanded sharply, "Take care of your young lady these days, and don't allow her to go out of the house, if you can't even do this little errand, you don't have to stay in the house to waste food, the salt field in the south is just short of manpower!" ”

A group of maids and ladies shivered in unison, and responded one after another. That salt field is the Yama Palace, and it is a hundred times better to be killed by the young lady than to be sent there, so the young lady must not be allowed to go out...

Wu Xiangyun heard his mother's instructions in the house, and cried even more, thinking that if he really married the lustful and incompetent Zhao De in the future, I am afraid that this life will be over, not to mention glory and wealth, and everyone is envious, even worry-free food and clothing are extravagant hopes.

Thinking about those restaurants, silver buildings, silk shops, and such amazing, handsome men, her husband and master who have loved her for many years were all taken away by a wild farmer, she was even more annoyed in her heart, and her subordinates desperately beat the embroidered pillows, secretly ruthless, no, she was unwilling...

The journey of Rui Xue and his entourage, with the addition of the Gao family brothers and sisters, is much more lively than in the past, but this excitement is mixed with a little weirdness, several maids of the Zhao family have a previous dislike for Jiu'er, and have become extremely close, cooking in the wild, sleeping in the open, or going to the city to stay in the inn, they all like to pull her to sleep together, gossip together, of course, that topic is absolutely inseparable from Jiu'er's favorite man, no matter how big or small, you have to ask clearly.

The elder brothers in Jiu'er's family are all martial artists, and most of them are bold people, so they have heard and seen since they were children, and they have no scheming.

Of course, in the end, these things reached Ruixue's ears, but she told a few maids not to mention this matter again, Jian Wu and Qin Xin were exquisite, and immediately guessed the master's intentions, and pulled three little girls who were still a little ignorant and confused.

At noon on this day, the group finally arrived more than ten miles outside Tongcheng, and looked into the distance with a pergola, and they could already faintly see the towering bluestone city wall in the sunlight, faintly flashing with green and blue luster, everyone was happy, a long journey, what is more joyful than arriving at the destination.

Rui Xue lifted the curtain and looked at the city wall in a daze, and suddenly felt a little timid in her heart, not knowing whether she was afraid that those worries would come true, or that she was afraid of those unknown personnel chaos. After thinking about it, he knocked on the front door, called Mu San, and said, "Third Brother Mu, the sun is still high, so if you are not busy entering the city, it is better to find a place with good scenery to rest your feet and cushion your stomach." ”
