"When this child was pretending to be a boy, I was stunned at first glance, and sighed in my heart: 'Who is so good to have such a fairy-like child as a daughter, I don't know the blessings of several lifetimes.'" I hated to hire her to my family as a daughter-in-law immediately, but unfortunately I saw that the Qian family raised her as a boy, and I didn't dare to make a mistake for a while, who would have thought that Mrs. Qian was an uninformed person, alas, I had known that I had broken the matter, and now it is a different situation......"

Where did Mrs. Xiao think that there would be such an episode, she was also stunned for a while, if Wen Jin had married Shi Zhenzong earlier, Qian Jun would not have run away because of this, and they would not have encountered many troubles such as Xiao Qiyun's kidnapping and Zhou Guo's uncle forcing her to marry.

Mrs. Xiao has never seen Shi Zhenzong, but when she thinks that in this world, a man like Qian Jun who is handsome and capable of writing and martial arts is worthy of Wen Jin, and this Shi Zhenzong doesn't know if he will insult a good woman like Wen Jin.

Mrs. Shi probably also thought of this, she smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, fortunately, I didn't act recklessly at that time, and when I met Prince Ren's son, I felt that Wen Jin's child's true destiny was not my son, alas, the world is unpredictable, I believe that a good man like Prince Ren's son will not be easily gone......"

Mrs. Xiao nodded: "I think so too." She paused slightly, and said tentatively, "Prince Ren used to be in the Western Xinjiang military camp with Ling Lang, this time, he won't go to Rongshan in a bad mood?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Mrs. Shi with some hope.

Mrs. Shi shook her head: "Zhenzong's letter said no, he also asked my lord to help find this Shanyang here, Prince Ren didn't go to Huaijin County, it is possible to come to Shanyang, but we are almost looking over here, and we haven't seen anyone." ”

"Alas——, what happened to this kid."

Mrs. Xiao saw that Wen Jin's face was also disappointed, and she felt very pity in her heart, it turned out that Wen Jin went around such a big circle, and still hoped that Qian Jun would wait for her here......

Mrs. Shi refused Mrs. Xiao's banquet: "Madame has just arrived, and it has not been arranged yet, and the concubine has come to visit recklessly, hoping that it will not cause you trouble." ”

"No trouble, no trouble......"

"Mrs. Xiao, the Shi family doesn't know if they can have this honor, please come to the house to talk about it-"

Mrs. Xiao knew that Wen Jin regarded this place as a base place where she could go back to her hometown to hide in case of trouble in the future, so she naturally wanted to befriend Mrs. Shi, she smiled and agreed to the other party's invitation: "This will cause trouble for Mrs. Shi." ”

"What's the trouble, if Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao can give you the cheap land, the cold house will definitely be able to flourish, and the concubine family will be very honored!"

"How can this be deserved, Mrs. Hardship Stone."

Mrs. Shi had already prepared, and said that she would invite Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin over tomorrow, and then returned with her daughter-in-law and daughter.

Mrs. Xiao looked at the back of the little sister of the Shi family, and when she saw Wen Jin's inquiring gaze, she smiled: "Mrs. Shi wants to marry our family, do you think this is good?" The youngest daughter of the Shi family is a good child, good-looking, and simple. ”

In Wen Jin's mind, he hadn't fully adapted to this kind of speed-dating marriage, so he didn't react for a while, and only after a while did he ask: "Madam is talking about Shi Xiaomei and Yuchen?" ”

"How?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

"I'm afraid that if the two can't talk together, Yuchen is not Shi Xiaomei's opponent."

Mrs. Xiao was shocked: "You mean-"

Wen Jin nodded: "Both men and women in Shiwei Village have kung fu, madam, it is the old man and old lady sitting in the sun at the head of the village, maybe he can beat a few stick boys." ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a while, the smile on her face was even bigger, she remembered that the man and Qian Jun had a martial arts competition, and after losing, she returned to the room, and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because she was excited to have such a son-in-law, if she had a daughter-in-law with excellent martial arts, would she be happy?

Wen Jin didn't think so, she still decided to secretly arrange for Yu Chen to meet Shi Xiaomei.

Xiao Yuchen is not without a marriage proposal in the capital, but unfortunately none of those girls are excellent.

has no ambition and wants the child to be happy, but he can't look down on the Xiao family, who is a stepmother and stepsister, and his father is a family with no foundation.

And I hope that Gao Pan thinks that his daughter is very good, and he is still waiting for the emperor's beauty pageant, for more than a year, Emperor Yongchang has rejected several ministers' proposals to enrich the palace.

The ministers who said those words all had ulterior motives, either they flattered and wanted to get the emperor's reuse, or they shouted for friends and relatives who had a good girl, such a family, even if there was a girl with a good reputation, and most of them were people who sold their fame, not to mention that they didn't look down on the Xiao family, and the Xiao family didn't dare to marry such a girl.

Wen Jin has been delayed, and seeing that Xiao Yuchen has no suitable marriage partner, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yi can't help but be anxious.

It's a pity that Wen Jin has a very shallow impression of Shi Xiaomei, in her impression, Shi Xiaomei is still a childish seven or eight-year-old girl, who thinks that she is already slim in a blink of an eye, she is a big girl, and it is time to find her mother-in-law's family.

I didn't expect Shi Zhenzong's kind of person with a big head and big eyes to have such a beautiful sister.

It was the hot and cold season of mid-autumn, and after dinner, Wen Jin asked Mrs. Xiao to change into men's clothes, protected by Chunming and Xia Yang, who were also in men's clothes, and took Xiao Yuchen to the wheat field outside the village.

The people of Shiwei Village now pay more attention to martial arts training, especially when Shi Qihou comes back, the people in the village have taken the lead, and the boys of the whole village are gathered here at night, a group of children under the age of ten are led by the master to take the horse step, and those under the age of twelve are practicing moves, and no matter how big it is, it is sparring.

Mrs. Xiao had never seen this, standing outside the venue, a little stunned, she asked Wen Jin in a low voice: "Your father wrote back last time, saying that he didn't want to be an official, and when he completely retired, he also came to Shiwei Village to learn a few tricks from the Shi family every day, what do you think?" ”

"Madame in front of the Shi family, but don't say this, I heard that my father's martial arts are unique in the world, and the Shi family is not ashamed to die?"

"Huh? Oh, I don't say it's just. Mrs. Xiao didn't know how capable her man was, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but fortunately, the moonlight was misty and she couldn't see the change in her face clearly.

Someone in the wheat field let out an angry voice, the voice was crisp, obviously a female voice, Mrs. Xiao's mind shifted, and she couldn't help but whisper to Wen Jin: "Sure enough, there are women who practice martial arts." ”

"Hehe, I was here back then, but I didn't let people beat me up. I haven't practiced for many years, and my skills have declined a lot, and I can only be regarded as fitness by boxing every day, and in the eyes of the people who will be there, it is flower boxing and embroidered legs. ”

"You've also practiced with the people of Shiwei Village?"

"Well, that girl is probably married, and I want to ask Mrs. Shi tomorrow and give her some gifts to make up for my blessings."

"Well, it should!"

Xiao Yuchen has been standing quietly to the side, Wen Jin followed his line of sight, although it was not very clear in the moonlight, but it was clearly a girl.

He is also almost twenty years old, it is the era of poetic fantasy for the opposite sex, but I don't know what kind of girl he likes, is Shi Xiaomei the beauty in his heart?

Wen Jin and his entourage also left in less than a quarter of an hour outside the wheat field, the autumn wind was slow, blowing the moist water vapor in the river, the light yarn shrouded the green trees and crops on both sides of the road, the air was full of the fragrance of autumn flowers and fruits, the gnats and crickets and unknown insects screamed non-stop, occasionally a few chickens and dogs barked, the hazy moonlight poured down like water, the shadows of the giant trees on the mountain peaks came to the face, compared to the hustle and bustle of the cars and horses in the city, it seemed so peaceful and peaceful here, making people's mood inexplicably stretch and relax, only quietNo**.

Mrs. Xiao let out a long breath and sighed in a low voice: "No wonder the gods choose beautiful and quiet places to practice, the city is still too noisy." ”

"Madam, if you think it's good here, how about coming back with your father to care for the elderly in a few years?"

"Well, okay, when the time comes, your father and I, dying old, every time we go out, we have to help each other, hehe, pick a handful of vegetables in the east, pick an eggplant in the west, and then pick a few duck eggs, and there will be a ...... in one meal."

Wen Jin noticed that Xiao Yuchen was following behind, without saying a word, and she couldn't guess if her brother had something on her mind.

The next day, they went to Shi's house, Shi Qihou had already rebuilt a big mansion in the north of the village, there was a pair of big squatting majestically at the door, majestically baring his teeth, his eyes were round, on the black lacquered door, the golden brass nails were neatly arranged, and the family had bought a servant, and ran over to greet the guests diligently.

Wen Jin didn't expect the Shi family to become like this, she and Mrs. Xiao changed their outfits, and walked over with Xiao Yuchen, knowing that they would take the carriage, although it was a few steps, it looked solemn.

Mrs. Shi personally brought her daughter to the second gate to greet her, Xiao Yuchen and Shi Xiaomei met unexpectedly, both of them were a little embarrassed, blushing and bowing their heads.

Mrs. Shi deliberately arranged it this way, it seems that she must not have an accidental whim, maybe Shi Zhenzong mentioned Xiao Yuchen in his letter, this time Wen Jin took her stepmother and younger brother to revisit their hometown, and Mrs. Shi had already prepared.

Mrs. Xiao pretended not to see this, and was greeted into the inner courtyard by the enthusiastic Mrs. Shi, while Shi Xiaomei smiled and walked in a row with Wen Jin: "Does my sister remember my little sister?" ”

"Remember, Mrs. Shi's heart, your brother's palm, hehe, back then, when you practiced kung fu, you didn't suffer less than your brother, you must have achieved great success, right?"

"Sister praise! Little sister just likes these. ”

Wen Jin smiled, but she was very surprised in her heart, Wei Liangqing Wei Liangxi loves to read and doesn't love female celebrities, it's enough to go against the sky, there are even girls who like to practice martial arts, this, this is really the most strange thing in the world.

The house of Shifu is very large, solemn and solemn, full of the tough atmosphere of northerners, the yard is also dotted with flowers and plants, and even in front of the flower hall of the banquet guests, there are a few kiwi trees, pulling vines, covering a green shade, but the whole yard still seems empty, no, it should be spacious and atmospheric, very stretched.

"Auntie, this house is newly built, but this kiwi vine is very old."

Mrs. Shi smiled playfully: "Didn't I learn from you?" Ask someone to find it from the back mountain, when you can dig up all the near places, we sent people to turn over two mountains, oh, the thickest one, the heart is red, much sweeter than the green heart of the kiwi. ”

"You, you, have you found a red five-star kiwi?" Wen Jin was extremely surprised, it was not cultivated by scientists in later generations, how could there be natural varieties in this world?

"Auntie, I don't believe it's sweeter than mine."

Mrs. Shi smiled: "Believe it or not, it's a pity that it's not fully ripe yet, so I can't let you taste it." She seemed to think of something, and told an old mother beside her a few words, and when Wen Jin and the others sat down to drink tea, they really served a plate of dried kiwi fruit with red hearts, which was obviously last year's stock.

The Shi family is a woman, no matter how satisfied Xiao Yuchen is, how much she praises her daughter during the banquet, but she can't say anything about asking for marriage, Mrs. Xiao explained vaguely, she got ***, and she can only decide if she sees her husband, so Mrs. Shi revealed the topic.

The banquet of the Shi family, although it is not like before, is full of steamed strip meat, square meat, more braised elbows, braised chicken, roast duck, etc., but the whole table is still meat-based, oily and greasy, fortunately, there is a diced mushroom meat, bamboo shoots and chicken, and a boiled shrimp, otherwise Mrs. Xiao, a person from the south who is used to light, really has nothing to eat.

"I didn't expect this kind of shrimp in the north to taste no worse than in the south, and I thought the water here was cold, and the shrimp couldn't survive." Mrs. Xiao also had nothing to say.

"Madame's words are not unreasonable, the shrimp are okay, we don't have crabs here, No, there is no meat in the crabs." Wen Jin replied.

Mrs. Shi was surprised: "Can crabs still be eaten?" ”

Wen Jin smiled bitterly: "The south grows can be eaten, but we only have shells here, and there is no meat in it." ”

Mrs. Shi smiled and didn't ask, fantasizing about whether the crabs in the south looked like baskets, otherwise how could they have meat. She has been living on both sides of the Jiujin River all her life, and when the man and his son come back, they also talk about some things in the western Xinjiang, and she knows very little about the south, if it weren't for her daughter, she wouldn't have set her eyes on the Xiao family.

There is another reason, there is a woman in Shanwo who married Shi Wei Village, she went back to her parents' house, praised Xiao Yuchen as if there was nothing in the sky and no earth, so that Mrs. Shi heard it, and sent someone to take a look, but when she came back, she said that it was extremely good, so she couldn't let it go.

Coming back from the Shi family, Wen Jin received a letter of worship from Wang Dashan's family, his son is now also a talented master, and interacting with people is not the form of a mountain village husband back then.

Wen Jin knew that if Mrs. Xiao went, Wang Dashan and his wife would definitely be very nervous and couldn't speak at all, so she offered to go with Xiao Yuchen.

Mrs. Xiao also felt like a burden, she had a lot of trouble listening to the local language, and yesterday Mrs. Shi's official dialect with a heavy local accent had made her unbearable, and if she came to a pure Shanyang dialect, she would not be able to cope with it.

Besides, she is sitting with a first-class lady, and even if Wang Dashan's wife is standing and talking, she is under a lot of pressure.

Returning from Wang's house, the mother-in-law who guarded the second gate told Wen Jin that there were guests at home.

"Who?"

"I reported to my home and said that it was Zhao Zhutou's wife, I informed my wife, and my wife promised to let her in."

Zhao Li is not a good thing, especially if there are conflicts with Shi Zhenzong's family, Wen Jin is afraid that Mrs. Xiao will not understand the situation and fall for them.

When Wen Jin hurriedly walked to the door, Mrs. Xiao's maid had already greeted her: "Madame, please come in." ”

There was an old lady about fifty years old sitting in the room, very fat, with hanging eyes, deep nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth, and a sense of viciousness on her face.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat." Wen Jin is young after all, and she can't see people still like this at such an age, she said politely.

"Thank you, Miss Xiao." She said gratefully, and hurriedly introduced herself: "The old woman is from the Shanyang catcher Zhao Li's family, and she took the liberty to visit today, just for the garden next to her." ”

Seeing that Wen Jin was puzzled, she continued to explain: "My family wants to sell that garden, just because it is close to Miss Xiao's Zhuangzi, so I took the liberty to visit, and I ask for your understanding." ”

Although there is a custom of being close to the neighbor first, Wen Jin has not been at home for several years, so the Zhao family can completely let out the wind and sell it publicly, and it can also get a good price.

Wen Jin was very puzzled, even if her father was a big official, he was far away from Shanyang, and his authority was in the army, so he couldn't help Zhao Li at all, she didn't know what Zhao Li meant.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, Wen Jin was vigilant in her heart, so she hummed haha and didn't agree, nor did she refuse, Zhao Li's wife was here to ventilate, and she didn't expect to make a deal immediately, and when she explained the matter, she bowed and said goodbye.

Mrs. Xiao waited for Mrs. Zhao to leave, and then asked Wen Jin in a low voice: "Do you know what entanglements are there?" ”

Wen Jin shook his head: "I'll go to the Shi family for a trip, I must know the inside story over there." ”

Before Wen Jin could go out, Xia Yang had already come in to report: "Miss Shi is here." ”

"Please!" Wen Jin went out to greet her, and Shi Xiaomei brought a maid and mother-in-law in with a smile: "Sister, little sister is polite." ”

"Sister Shi came in a hurry, is there anything important?"

"It doesn't matter if you say it's important, but you have guests at home today?"

"Hmm!" Wen Jin nodded, and said in his heart that the Shi family knew quite quickly, thinking of the events of the year, he knew how things started, and he was not so anxious in his heart.

"Sister, my mother originally planned to come in person, but when she went out, she had to go by herself, so don't be surprised."

"What are these words? The little sister came to pass the word in person, we are already very honored, where to pick your gift. Saying this, she let Shi Xiaomei into the upper room, and Xiaomei saluted Mrs. Xiao, and then sat down modestly and explained the reason straight to the point: "Sister, since my father came back, this Zhao Lijia has been looking for trouble, and at first I wanted to ask my father for forgiveness, in fact, my father and mother were people who were worry-free, but they had a villain mentality, my father and my mother promised too happily, but they made them suspicious, and they tried it repeatedly, but it made my father angry."
