Chapter 068: Elopement
Chu Yaoniang, a native of Ji County, Weizhou, has a lot of land in her father's generation, and her family is relatively solid.
The five or six sisters above are all married to nearby states and counties. On weekdays, the children of the sisters still recognize everything, but the grandchildren basically don't see and don't recognize it.
This is the news that Song Qiao'er has long grasped, so there is such an arrangement.
Huang Wu is also from Ji County, and he seems to be very tired, so he helped Chen Jian and said a blessing: "Aunt and grandmother, I finally found you." β
When Chu Yaoniang heard the local voice, she was immediately surprised, hurriedly helped them up, and also bowed to the second hall. The servants led the horses, drank water, and fed the fodder.
When they saw Zhao Gu and Heiyou, they were stunned for a while. Chu Yaoniang hurriedly played a round: "This is a guest of his Xi family, this is a guest of my Chu family." All the same relatives, sit and sit, drink tea. β
Chu Yaoniang poured the tea, looked at Chen Jian and Huang Wu, and seemed to be puzzled.
Chen Jian hurriedly took the blanket, took out a pair of gold bracelets from it, hung a gold necklace, handed it to Chu Yaoniang with both hands, and said: "When I came, my grandmother repeatedly explained that she would hand over these two gifts to her sister with her own hands, so she would naturally be entertained." β
Chu Yaoniang pushed and gave in, but she couldn't stand the sweetness of the two young people's mouths, so she had to accept it. He happily closed his mouth, firmly held the gold ornaments, and said, "Ouch, come here, take such a heavy gift." Butler, you come to accompany Zhao Gu first. I took my mother's family inside to talk. β
Chu Yaoniang saw the housekeeper coming, and she owed a debt to Zhao Gu, and took them to her bedroom.
They talked inside, and after a while, Chu Yaoniang pulled Chen Jian and shouted as she came out: "Take you Chen Jian, why didn't you say it earlier." Go and get Miss Red. How can you leave people behind, it's too reckless. Hurry, hurry. Chen Wu sat down first, and I went to the door to take a look. β
It seems that Chen Jian's name has not changed, and Huang Wu has changed to Chen Wu. It's brother and sister dressed up, well, that's good.
About a quarter of an hour, Hongle and Sun Kua pretended to be the master and servant two people entered the door.
Chen Jian smiled at Chu Yaoniang and said, "Aunt and grandmother, Hongle is okay." β
Chu Yaoniang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "What is it okay, it's just a fairy." You kid is blessed, such a talented and beautiful woman pursues you, oops. Quick, Red Girl, follow me inside. Don't let outsiders see you fleeing to my house. Stay slowly, slowly figure out a way, it is only a matter of time before you marry Chen Jian. β
It seems that Hongle is Chen Jian's fiancΓ©e, and the parents in the family do not agree, so she must have escaped from the family. was taken to a distant relative's house by Chen Jian. This is elopement. There is always a place for elopement, and it is quite safe to find a distant relative.
In this way, the six successfully entered Xi Yu's house. The next step is to put on a good show.
When the fallen foot ghost Xi Yan came back from buying beef from Chaoge City, he saw that four relatives of the Chu family came at once, and pulled the Chu family over, and he was greatly surprised.
Chu said that Chen Jian eloped with Hongle, Chen Wu helped, and Hongle's servant was over there. took out the gold bracelet and gold necklace that his sister cared for, and asked Xi Yan to distinguish between serious and fake. Xi Yan heard it, oh, that's right, elopement, that's not it, you have to find a distant relative. Don't talk about it, let's settle in.
Xi Yan is very happy, today it is snowflake silver and gold jewelry, this is Zhao Gongming's favor, but he can send money to our Xi Mansion. I just want it. Hurriedly beckoned the subordinates and took the ten catties of beef, which should be fried, stewed, and croquettes.
Chen Jian thanked his uncle very much, and brought the blanket again, and took out a high-quality Khotanese jade from it, which was crystal clear and made people love it. Holding it with both hands: "When I came, my grandmother explained again and again, saying that my aunt and grandmother were very good people, and I must hand over the things she worshipped." β
Xi Yan wiped his hands on his body and wiped them, and he didn't dare to take them directly, so he said: "Oh, my mother, your grandmother is so expensive, it's too outlanding." Child, do you know how much Khotanese jade is worth? Carved into an object, it will appreciate infinitely. I don't dare accept such a big gift. β
Chen Wu came over, shook Xi Yan's arm, and posed the girl's coquettish posture: "Grandmother is right, my uncle is a good person." Accept it quickly, otherwise, we don't dare to stay, so we will go back to Xinxiang County. The matter between my brother and Hongle had to be let develop. β
Xi Yan looked at her such a handsome niece and granddaughter, such a gesture, so that people's bones were crispy, half pushed, half accepted. Happy as a child: "Sit down, sit down." I'll go get some good tea. β
Chen Wu watched him go upstairs, and winked at Chen Jian, Hongle, and Sun Kua, and the four of them couldn't help but laugh "poof" there. Chen Jian couldn't help but be happy, and came over to give Hongle a bear hug, and Hongle pushed him to the side.
It happened that Xi Yan went downstairs, saw this scene, and said with a smile: "The little couple is not in a hurry, eat and drink more at noon to fill your stomach." I'll prepare a room for you tonight for a private meeting, even if you enter the cave room early. β
Chen Jian and Hongle both knelt down: "Uncle Chengcheng, we will repay your kindness by being cattle and horses in the next life." β
Xi Yan hurriedly put down the tea box and picked them up. After a good look, it was a natural pair.
Two large tables were set up at noon, and the back hall was a table of Chu Yaoniang's relatives. The second hall is a table of Xi Yan's relatives.
On the second hall's side, Xi Yan and the housekeeper accompanied Zhao Gu and Heiyou and his wife.
After a few drinks, Zhao Gu took the blanket again and took out a Lantian Jade Maitreya Buddha, about five inches high, the jade quality is impeccable, and the carving is very exquisite. He held it with both hands, knelt down on his knees, and handed it to Xi Xuan: "Uncle and grandfather are above, and it is my mother's gift." This is a child couple honoring your old man's family. β
Xi Yan looked at this Buddha, invited him with both hands, couldn't put it down, and handed it back: "Oh, this is a lot of value, how can I be virtuous, how can I afford such a valuable gift." β
"The Jade Buddha has a fate with you, and you must be invited. Otherwise, the grandson would not be able to kneel. "Zhao Gu gave gifts with a solid heart.
The housekeeper came over to play a round: "Master, take it." The child is filial. β
Xi Yan laughed and carefully put away the Jade Buddha. Come and sit down again, so don't be affectionate.
While drinking wine, Zhao Gu suddenly turned his face there, put his wine glasses and chopsticks on the table, and snored on the rattan chair.
Xi Yan looked at Heiyou, looked at the housekeeper, and laughed: "This kid, he was tired all the way, so he slept like this." It's good to be young, just sleep. Let him sleep, it's okay, don't delay us to drink. β
After drinking until mid-afternoon, the second hall was withdrawn. The Chu family's table in the back hall had already been withdrawn. Xi Yu was so drunk that Hei You hurriedly supported him: "Uncle and grandfather, granddaughter and daughter-in-law will put you into the bed." β
The housekeeper also came to help. When he arrived in his bedroom, Xi Yan fell down and fell asleep, without even a little buffer.
It was almost noon the next day, and the Chu clan shouted: "Butler, Chen Jian, hurry up, the old man and Zhao Gu are afraid that they will sleep, save people quickly." Send them straight to Chaoge City and find a good doctor. β
Butler, Chen Jian, Chen Wu, Hei You, Hong Le, and Sun Kuaran, came to see Xi Yan and Zhao Gu one after another. The two of them didn't wake up no matter how they shook, and they slept for a day and a night. It's just that it's dangerous, and you have to get to the hospital quickly.
The housekeeper Dongtou hurriedly said: "Madam, the best doctor in Chaoge City, but Li Hang, near the Dongguan God of Wealth Temple, is he going to be black-hearted, can he go?"
Where can Chu Yaoniang still take care of this, and shouted: "It's Li Hang, hurry up." β
They put on the carriage and pulled Xi Yan and Zhao Gu together, not only to hurry, but also not to dare to be too bumpy. Chen Jian, Chen Wu, Hei You, Hongle, and Sun Kua all followed, came out of the water pass, and crossed the Qishui Bridge. All the way to Dr. Li Hang, Dongguan of Chaoge City.
About an hour, when I arrived at Li Hang's house, Jirentang was written at the door. Everyone worked hard to carry Xi Gu in first, and then Zhao Gu in again. There was a wonderful person there, and Li hung up on her seriously.
Chu Yaoniang and the housekeeper Dongtou didn't know each other, but the five people who came with them all recognized that the wonderful person was Song Qiao.
After a long period of effort, Song Qiao got up and left, everyone pretended not to know each other. Li Hang hurriedly got up to send him off, and when he got outside, Song Qiao said in Li Hang's ear, "Remember?"
Li Hang said with a smile: "Sister Feiyu's clever plan, how dare Li Hang forget." β
Song Qiao'er rode away on horseback and went back to her Shunchengfang, what should she do.
Li hung in, leaned over to the bed near the gable, picked up Xi Yan's wrist, and took the pulse in his hand. After a while, he brought his other hand and continued to call the pulse.
Chu Yaoniang was in a hurry, but she didn't dare to be too anxious.
Still not in a hurry, Chu asked softly, "Doctor Li, what's wrong with him?"
