Chapter 21: Sarcasm

Shangguan Xi frowned and turned his head unhappily.

Meng Yuxuan squatted down and looked into Shangguan Xi's eyes.

Shangguan Xi made a fuss, but he didn't look at her. Meng Yuxuan pulled his hand, and he also shook it off directly.

"Xi'er is angry?" Meng Yuxuan smiled. "But it's because my mother doesn't listen to you?"

"Mother, that hurts your eyes. Twenty days is too rushed. For such a large embroidery job, most people have to embroider for more than half a year. Shangguan Xi pouted.

"Mother knows." Meng Yuxuan hugged Shangguan Xi and touched his face gently. "Xi'er feels sorry for her mother, and her mother is very happy. But Xi'er, your father doesn't know how long he will be going out, and there is no money at home. The mother wants to cure Xi'er's illness so that Xi'er can accompany her forever. ”

"Mother, is Xi'er a drag on you? Xi'er has made you hard, hasn't it? Shangguan Xi hung his head sadly.

"Nope. You are my happiness. Meng Yuxuan chuckled.

Li Niang came out of the house and saw the warm picture in front of her, and a look of envy flashed in her eyes.

How nice it would be if she had such a lovely child! Unfortunately, her life is not good.

"The hostess...... The proprietress ......" Meng Yuxuan looked at Liniang in a daze and screamed a few times.

"Oh! Sister. It's ready, and it's wrapped for you. The girl spends a lot of time, so she must be driven out. Li Niang said: "If you can't get out, drive the important places." Then it was handed over to me a few days in advance, and I arranged for a few embroiderers to rush to work. The Tang family is not easy to offend, this is an important thing, and it can't go wrong. ”

"Don't worry, boss, I'll get out." Meng Yuxuan said: "It's okay, I'll leave first." ”

Mother and son left. Li Niang looked at their backs for a long time. Seeing this, the guy next to him sighed: "Boss, are you still thinking about that child?" Since you were reluctant, why did you throw him away in the first place? Now that I think of him again, I really ask for my own suffering. ”

Li Niang smiled bitterly: "Back then, I couldn't help it. Now that I'm free, I think I'm finally willing to do my best, but every night my mind is full of the child I threw away. Before, the body was not free, but now the mind is not free. I'm just a hard worker. ”

Leaving the embroidery pavilion, Meng Yuxuan pulled Shangguan Xi to the stop of the ox cart. When Wang Chengkui saw them, he exhaled lightly.

"Why are you here now? Sister-in-law Lin and Feng'er are looking for you. Wang Chengkui frowned and said.

"Does that need to be said? Some people's hawthorn cakes can't be sold, and they feel ashamed to find a place to hide and cry. Huan'er Niang's face was gloating.

Meng Yuxuan looked at the people sitting on the ox cart. Huan'er Niang and Cheng Er Niang were watching a good show, and the eyes of others were dodgy and didn't dare to look at her.

Wang Chengkui said: "Your mother and son sit up. I'll go and see Sister-in-law Lin and Feng'er. Wait for them to come back and go. ”

"Uncle Wang, is Xi'er Niang back?" At this time, Lao Yuan heard Feng'er's shout.

Meng Yuxuan turned around and saw Feng'er and Aunt Lin running from a distance. The two ran out of breath and didn't see her and Shangguan Xi for a while.

Wang Chengkui saw the two and replied in a loud voice: "Just came back." You have come back just in time, lest I seek you again. ”

Meng Yuxuan, who was originally bored with the people in the village, was discouraged when she saw these two people. She stood up and waved at them, "Auntie, sister-in-law Feng'er, I'm here." ”

"Oops, you're back." Aunt Lin gasped and said, "Xi'er Niang, your hawthorn cake is sold?" What about the burden? Why is it gone? ”

Cheng Erniang laughed and said, "I must have thrown it away with the burden." Who would buy that kind of harmful thing? You're not stupid. ”

"Not really. Now the whole town knows that the hawthorn cake she sells is poisonous. Only a fool would buy it. Huan'er Niang responded.

Meng Yuxuan crossed her arms to her chest and looked coldly at the two singing double reeds.

"This is thanks to Huan'er Niang and Cheng Er Niang for my hawthorn cake everywhere, otherwise how can there be such a well-known fame now? But I really let you say it, the burden I picked up was indeed thrown along with the hawthorn cake. It's just that instead of throwing it away, I threw it to a person who sold it for me. If nothing else, it will be sold out in two days! Meng Yuxuan looked at the two of them and said, then turned back to Aunt Lin and Feng'er and said, "Aunt Lin, sister-in-law Feng'er, you don't have to worry about me. Whether my hawthorn cake is poisonous or not, smart people know how to judge. ”

"That's good." Aunt Lin wiped her sweat and said with a smile: "Then let's go back." ”

Huan'er Niang said unwillingly: "How can anyone buy her hawthorn cake?" Don't want to die? ”

"She said you believed it? I look at her as a dead duck with a hard mouth. Cheng'er Niang snorted: "Leave her alone." Xi'er's father is not here, see if she can last a few days. Maybe I'll be away in a few days. ”

"Not really. The woman looks like a goblin, and Xi'er's father used to be able to take care of her, but now no one cares, and I don't know how she will hook up. Huan'er Niang snorted.

"Mother......" Shangguan Xi pulled the corner of Meng Yuxuan's clothes, pouting and looking unhappy.

"It's okay, ignore them." Meng Yuxuan hugged Shangguan Xi and smiled softly: "I'm tired!" Lie on my mother's body and sleep for a while. When I got home, my mother made you something to eat. When your father comes back, I'll give him a white and fat stream. ”

"That's right. When a woman is married, the most important thing is the man and the children in the family. When Xi'er's father comes back, you will add another Ding to him, and the family will be happy, and even the gods will envy you. Aunt Lin said with a smile.

"That's what my aunt said. By the way, why didn't you see sunspots? Meng Yuxuan asked curiously.

"We met my mother on the street, and she said that she missed Kuroko and took him back to live for a few days. I'll send it back to us in a few days. Feng'er said with a smile.

"That's nice. Kuroko has a grandmother who hurts, and a grandmother who hurts, it's really happy. Meng Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Xi, who had fallen asleep, and said.

"Xi'er has you in pain, it's the same. Don't think about it! Aunt Lin said.

Back in the village, Meng Yuxuan got out of the ox cart with Shangguan Xi in her arms. Feng'er helped her carry the basket down.

When she was on the bullock cart just now, several women in the village kept staring at her back basket. One of the women pretended to kick it accidentally, and when she lifted the old cloth covering it, she saw the pork inside. At that time, the eyes of everyone looking at her were very complicated. Among them, jealousy is the most. After all, even the village chief with the best conditions in the village does not eat meat all day long like them.

Meng Yuxuan carried Shangguanxi back to the house and put him on the bed. When she came out again, Feng'er had already carried the basket into her kitchen.

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law. Don't cook at night, just eat at my house! Meng Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Don't be polite to me. I don't eat anymore, I have a lot of work at home, and I can't leave. I'll trouble you when I'm free. Feng'er said embarrassedly: "That...... Xi'er Niang, I want to ask you for a favor. ”

"Sister-in-law, what are you polite to me? We're not a family. You are so polite, I don't dare to ask you for help in the future. Meng Yuxuan said angrily.

"I'm not polite to you. That is true. I have a younger brother who is studying in Licheng. When I saw my mother today, she said that my father ...... My dad may not be able to do it anymore. He wanted to see his brother one last time. I wondered if I could bring him a letter so that he could come back sooner. Feng'er said with red eyes. I heard that you are literate, can you help me write a letter to my brother? ”

"Write the letter now, and when you send the letter, can your father wait there?" Meng Yuxuan took Feng'er's hand and sat down.

Feng'er wiped her tears, looking overwhelmed.

"Actually, you can. Do you know the Jade family? Meng Yuxuan saw Feng'er's confused expression, and then said, "The Yu family has a caravan that is responsible for delivering things to people. ”

"It must be expensive, right? Only the rich and noble could afford to use the caravan. Feng'er hesitated.

"It shouldn't be cheap. But if you want to meet your brother soon, this is the fastest way. Meng Yuxuan said.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my mother. It's really not good, we have to admit it. Feng'er said.

"I think of someone who might be able to help you." Meng Yuxuan thought for a while and said, "I saved a person when I was a maid ring before, and that person seems to be able to speak in the Yu family. I'm going to the city tomorrow, or should I go to him for help?" ”

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Xi'er Niang. This matter is in trouble for you. Feng'er excitedly took Meng Yuxuan's hand.

"I don't know if this matter will be successful, and it's too early to say thank you. You name the address, I'll write the letter later, and then I'll try it with the man. Meng Yuxuan said: "However, if you ...... No, don't blame me. ”

"What did Xi'er Niang say? Am I such a bad person? You can rest assured. It's no wonder you can't do it. Feng'er hurriedly said. My younger brother is studying at the Moxiang Academy in Licheng, and his name is Qin Cheng. ”

"Moxiang Academy, Qincheng. I understand. Meng Yuxuan wrote down the name of this person.

"Then, I'll go back." Feng'er raised a smile.

After Feng'er left, Meng Yuxuan immediately packed up the things in the back basket.

In addition to the food, she bought some seeds. Sprinkle the seeds into the space later.

The seeds she got from the shopkeeper last time had sprouted. But looking at the growth, she couldn't recognize what it was. Only when it grows up, she slowly studies whether it can be eaten. If they can eat, they won't be hungry no matter what happens in the future.

Shangguanxi hasn't woken up yet. Meng Yuxuan took advantage of this time to water the vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Bang! There was a loud noise at the door.

Meng Yuxuan was stunned.

Shangguan Huan is not there, she and Shangguan Xi are left at home, as long as there is a disturbance, it will make her nervous for a long time. It seems that she had to take out the martial arts cheats in the space earlier and practice. If you have martial arts, you are not afraid of encountering any bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

"Just let Xi'er practice with me. There are so many cheats in the space, there is always something suitable for him. Meng Yuxuan muttered to herself.

"Mother...... Mother ......" Shangguan Xi's anxious voice sounded in the courtyard. "There's a bloody man lying here. Mother, come and take a look! ”

Meng Yuxuan was surprised. She put down the scoop in her hand and ran quickly to Shangguan Xi at the door.

No wonder I heard the sound just now, it turned out that someone had fallen at the door of their house. She's so alert. Not only did Shangguan Xi wake up and didn't find it, but he didn't even find a big bloody person lying at the door. Isn't it dangerous to hide someone with bad intentions?
