Chapter 405: Not idle
Everyone thought that the little dog was going to talk about the familiar passages that the storyteller said, but where did they think that it was actually a story that they had never heard, and it was quite exciting, everyone couldn't help but stop gossiping, and listened attentively, even those little maids were also looking forward to eating later, and they could go back after listening...
Originally, eating is the only delicacy in the world, the location of the teahouse is good, and the good story is a flower, the sweet and bitter teahouse business is full every day, especially the hour before and after the story is told, it is simply hard to find, and then the diners protested, and the shopkeeper Mo made the decision and added another in the afternoon.
Rui Xue was busy doing business here, and the shameless and greedy old guys of the Zhao family were not idle, and they chose one day to board the door of the Wu family with rich gifts, under the pretext that Zhao De was ill, and it was not good to hide and harm Miss Wu family, so he took the initiative to beg the Wu family to change the marriage contract back, or Zhao Fengnian, the eldest son of the Zhao family and the new head of the family, married Miss Wu as his wife.
The Wu family pretended to be generous, praised the Zhao family for their honesty, and readily agreed, both families were happy, striking while the iron was hot, and set the wedding date for a month later.
The people of Tongcheng naturally have a topic again, sitting in the sweet and bitter teahouse, while eating, they are spitting and spitting, there are shameless Wu family one daughter and three marriages, some disdain the Zhao family tends to be inflammatory, climbing the Wu family, in short, everyone has different opinions, of course, everyone is faintly looking forward to the owner of this teahouse, how the "ex-wife" who broke out of the door will deal with it, but it is obvious that they are destined to be disappointed, the teahouse business is doing as it is, but Rui Xue has never shown up from beginning to end, and has no more to do with the Zhao family.
Caiyun was the first to hear the news in the teahouse, and ran back to the inn to report the news when she was a child, Rui Xue was taking Niu Niu and Qin Xin to wash gluten in a large pottery pot, after all, several kinds of snacks are used in crystal dough, this production method has become a secret recipe, and the family does not do it, and it is always not at ease to hand it over to outsiders, the three little girls are already very busy in the back stove, and they will be tired again when they come back at night, and she is reluctant, and it is easy to think crankily around the left and right, so it is better to do some work to occupy the mind.
The old grandmother heard the movement in the house, and was worried in her heart, so she handed the child over to Jianwu, and went out to look at her own young lady, her face did not change at all, she was still busy, and she was even more worried, so she asked in a low voice, "Miss, if you are angry, just talk to your grandmother, scold a few words, and your heart can be more comfortable." ”
Niuniu shook off the water droplets in her hand fiercely, and said angrily, "What's the use of scolding two sentences, if you want me to say, just hit the door, hit people when you see them, smash them when you see things, I was in a hurry that day, and I didn't beat me happily!" ”
Rui Xue took the cloth towel handed by the old grandmother, raised her hand and knocked her sister, and said with a smile, "It's all big girls, don't shout and kill at every turn." ”
After saying this, she raised her eyes and looked at the overcast sky outside the door of the stove, and said with a slight smile, "Then Miss Wu always asks Mr. to marry, and when he comes back, if he says he wants to marry, let's not say a word, send him a letter of resignation, and then pick up the salute and go home!"
However, if he said that he would not marry, then the Zhao family and the Wu family would change the marriage contract thousands of times, so what does it have to do with us. ”
Everyone was silent, and after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth, so they nodded in response.
Niuniu smashed her hands twice in the clay pot, gritted her teeth and said, "If he dares to marry, I will beat him to death with a stick." ”
Rui Xue's lips moved, as if she wanted to say that the person would definitely not marry, but in the end she still didn't say anything, there are no absolutes in the world, she can guarantee that she will not change her heart, but she can't guarantee that he will not compromise...
On the official road of one hundred miles west of Tongcheng, a team of dart carts came from afar, waving flags, writing the word "Qingtian", Zhao Fengnian and the Gao family brothers and sisters rode on horses, all of them were dressed as warriors with long swords and short shirts and trousers, and the three of them walked in front of the team, Zhao Fengnian pointed to the small city in front of him that faintly revealed some outlines and said, "That is Qinghe County, and there will be a hundred miles after Qinghe to reach home." ”
Gao Rui said with a smile, "Every time I pass through a city along the way, Brother Zhao has to say this, and our brothers and sisters are calloused." ”
Jiu'er also smiled and agreed, "No, Brother-in-law Zhao is missing my sister and little nephew." ”
Zhao Fengnian coughed twice, raised his collar to block the red ears, and said, "Thanks to the help of Brother Gao and my sister-in-law along the way, I can return so safely." ”
Gao Rui waved his hand, "What did Brother Zhao say, you handed over the work of transporting goods to our Qingtian Dart Bureau, our Gao family naturally has to do our best, this is business, not helping." ”
"That's it, isn't it, brother-in-law, that you can't rely on our family's money?"
Zhao Fengnian laughed and said, "Let's go into the city quickly, there is our Zhao family's shop here, everyone have a good rest, eat a hot meal, let's go on the road tomorrow morning and rush home in one go." ”
Gao Rui turned his head and shouted at the many dart masters, "Brothers, speed up your feet, you can drink wine and eat meat when you enter the city, and have a good rest." ”
"Great!" Everyone responded loudly, and the snow on the branches of the trees beside the road fell in a flutter, and was blown into the mountains and forests by the wind.
The Zhao family's business here is a small inn, there are few guests in winter, the shopkeeper and the guys are idle, seeing that the owner of the house has arrived, he quickly let the backyard park the carriage to unload, and prepare food and accommodation, so busy that he is busy.
After everyone sat on the table to eat and drink, the shopkeeper invited Zhao Fengnian to sit down in the small study in the backyard, and after serving tea, Zhao Fengnian saw that his face was a little strange, and he was suspicious, so he said, "Liu An, when Master Liu carefully taught me for six years, he taught me all the iron calculation skills, I already respected him as a father in my heart, and then I suffered and died, Master Liu also died, I have always felt guilty in my heart, if your brother has any difficulties and needs my help, even if you speak, I will not sit idly by." ”
Liu An heard that the master said sincerely, and was grateful, so he hurriedly got up and saluted to thank him, but when he sat down, he said, "The head of the family, the little one is not asking for something, but I heard a news from Tongcheng yesterday, and I hesitated, and I don't know whether I should talk to the head of the family." ”
This Liu An is the son of the old shopkeeper who was wrongfully killed by Zhao De that day, and it was he who went to Deling Wind City to discover the truth that Zhao Fengnian was not dead, and he knew more about Zhao Fengnian's affairs in Tongcheng than outsiders, so he was very hesitant when he heard the new news of the Zhao family.
"News from Tongcheng?" Zhao Fengnian subconsciously frowned, put the teacup on the table, and said, "Tell me, what is the news?" ”
Ryan thought about it for a while, and said, "The head of the family, I also heard a few simple words from passers-by, it seems that the lady who was picked up by the head of the house some time ago, for some reason, suddenly took the child and a few helpers to break the door and beat the Zhao family, the master was seriously injured, and the people were also injured a lot." ”
"What?" Zhao Fengnian stood up suddenly, his face turned pale with shock, and he couldn't think of why Rui Xue was so troubled that he wanted to go out of the house?
"It's... That's impossible! "Obviously, before going out, my father and wife got along very well, why did they fight together," What else is the news, tell me quickly! ”
Liu An also saw that the master was really anxious, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and quickly said, "There is also news, it seems that the clan elder and the old man went to the Wu family, changed the marriage contract of the head of the family back, and the date of marriage has also been set, counting it, there are still more than 20 days." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Fengnian was completely furious, how many times had he said that he would not marry her again, and the elders in the family actually ignored his opposition and married him without authorization?
"Prepare dry food for me, I will rush back to Tongcheng immediately."
Zhao Fengnian lifted the curtain and strode to the front hall, found the Gao brothers and sisters, said a few words, and jumped on the horse again.
In the holly courtyard, Rui Xue is doing needlework with the old mama, the old mama was also a good embroiderer when she was young, and now she can't keep up with the old eyes, and she can't control the complicated colors, but she sews a tiger head shoe for the two children, and the small belly pocket is still competent.
Niuniu finally begged for Jian Wu, hugged Yiran into her arms, smiled happily, and coaxed her niece to call her aunt, Yiran pouted and giggled twice from time to time, where can she speak, she was not annoyed, she still taught one by one, but Rui Xue was noisy, and raised her head to signal Jian Wu to take the child back.
Just as he was about to call his sister to his side to coax, he heard someone in the yard shouting, "Miss, a guest has come to visit." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that except for the people of the Zhao family in this Tong City, they didn't know anyone else, so they all changed their faces, and the old lady stood up and said, "Miss, the old slave went to send people away, right?" ”
Rui Xue thought about it, then nodded, "Don't say anything more, just drive away." ”
The old lady responded and went out, but she quickly turned back, with a smile on her face, "Miss, it's not the Zhao family, it's the young general who is here." ”
"Major General?" Rui Xue's heart moved, guessing that he was afraid that he was coming for the property of the Houfu and the result of that matter, so he quickly picked up his clothes and sideburns, and saw that there was no rudeness, and then he went out, at the gate of the courtyard, the man who was talking to the young man in a low voice, but it was not the young general who was ashamed of his figure and handsome face, and he must not want to provoke the attention of others today, he changed his military uniform, and wore a set of ink-colored brocade gowns, tied a scarlet gold embroidered belt, and the red blonde hair crown on his head, which made him even more heroic.
Rui Xue saluted first and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, how did you find here?" ”
Wu Lie returned the salute and responded, "I sent someone to Lingfeng City again, and the neighbor said that you came here, and I happened to have something to do, so I came over for a walk." ”
Rui Xue led him into the hall, hot tea was served in the heart of the qin, Rui Xue poured a cup with her own hands, held it to Wu Lie, Wu Lie took it, and the two gossiped a few more words.
The soldier is not good at words, and he doesn't like to be verbose, Wu Lie put down half a cup of tea, and said directly, "Yue'er... Girl, swing back left and right, I have something to say. ”
Rui Xue glanced at Jian Wu and Qin Xin who were holding the child, as well as Niuniu's old mother, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu has something to say, this is a family member I can trust." ”
