Chapter 54: The bracelet is broken
The old woman lazily sat on a small bench at the door of the cave and counted the Buddha beads with her eyes closed.
Mao Dan took a broken bowl to play with sand, and saw Zhou Mengyuan riding a big green horse down the slope, so happily threw away the broken bowl and ran over, "Uncle, uncle, I want to ride a horse." ”
Zhou Mengyuan reined in the horse, "Mao Dan is obedient, he doesn't dare to come to the horse, it has a bad temper, and when he gets angry, he will kick people." ”
Putting the reins on the saddle and coming to the old woman, Zhou Mengyuan said, "Grandma is good, my grandson is back." ”
"Okay! Grandson, you haven't been home in a few days?"
Lingzhi, who was lying on the kang and was asleep, was woken up by the sound of speech, turned over, and hurriedly put on his shoes and came out, "The young master is back." Whatever I want to eat, I'll do it. ”
Looking at Lingzhi, Zhou Mengyuan smiled, "Look at you, you're in a hurry, your shoes are poor." ”
Lingzhi looked down, "Hehe." The shoes are torn, too loose, and they're all the same anyway. ”
said that it was all the same, or held the door frame to adjust.
There was nothing to say that night.
The reason is that Zhou Mengyuan withstood Lingzhi's knocks on the door several times.
Although there was nothing to say that night, a few people tossed and turned.
······
Qi Yue thought that if one day, his father really handed over the power of the village to him, whether he would take it or not? If he did, his life plan of working hard to live a romantic life outside would come to naught, and he would live in blood in the future; if he did not accept it, he would go against the sky and reason, and he would be discriminated against by his clansmen. Borrowing his father's auspicious words, strike while the iron is hot and go to Qin'er tomorrow, and then find out if his attitude will improve?
······
Lying next to her sleeping mother, Dou Yaer recalled the complex emotional changes that she had felt like she had been separated from Zhou Mengyuan for several months, and deeply felt that if she wanted Zhou Mengyuan to love her wholeheartedly, she still needed to work hard.
······
Time dilutes the unpleasant.
Qin'er, who hopes to develop on the better side, has deliberately forgotten what happened to Zhou Mengyuan and Lingzhi that night, and remembers more about their happiness and mutual love when they were together.
······
Zhou Mengyuan kept asking herself, if she went to Qin'er, would she ignore herself?
There is also Lingzhi, a woman who knows that it is impossible to be with Zhou Mengyuan, who is creating opportunities to satisfy her empty self at any time, occupying the light of youth in the name of understanding, and hindering the development of Zhou Mengyuan and Qin'er's love.
······
At mid-morning, Zhou Mengyuan tied his horse, brought a few women's ornaments stolen from the ancient tomb, carried them in his arms, and dared to find Qin'er.
It's really not that enemies don't meet!
When Zhou Mengyuan entered the village, he saw many people gathered in front of Qin'er's house, and saw the brown horse that Qi Yue often ridden.
Faced with another challenge, Zhou Mengyuan, who was weak-hearted, slowed down.
However, he has a firm belief that no matter who Qin'er marries, he must not marry Qi Yue. Because of Qi Yue, he has a very special identity.
For the sake of Qin'er and for the long-term friendship in the future, Zhou Mengyuan mustered up the courage to speed up the pace and passed.
People stood around Qi Yue in a semicircle, and the opening was the door of Qin'er's house.
Qi Yue knelt on the ground with sincerity on his face, dressed in ordinary clothes, just by dressing, he wanted to have the same identity as Qin'er.
Zhou Mengyuan looked at it, and his fake appearance was very disgusting.
Everyone in the village knows that Zhou Mengyuan and Qin'er have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and their bodies and appearances are very compatible, and they also know that they have always had close contacts, if it weren't for the change in the Zhou family, they might have set up a marriage banquet.
Today, in the face of a strange teenager's "bizarre" overtures to Qin'er, everyone in the village present complained and resented.
Seeing Zhou Mengyuan's arrival, someone immediately went to Gao Shen.
"Get rid of this shameless fellow. Don't leave anything to chance. ”
"Bring Qin'er out and tell him that you are the real couple, and let him completely die of this heart. ”
"Young master, if you come up with a few pieces of silver, we'll beat him up. ”
······
Zhou Mengyuan smiled helplessly, came to Qi Yue with a heart, and reached out to lift the clothes on Qi Yue's shoulder, "Young Master, get up." The boy had gold under his knees. ”
Qi Yue raised his head and saw that it was Zhou Mengyuan, "If you want to win your heart, you must first be sincere." The little brother is really tempted and can't extricate himself. ”
In the room on Thursday, a family of three was panicked and anxious.
"What can I do about this? Half of the village is here, and our Zhou family can't afford to lose face. ”
"In my opinion, let's give him a lion dowry and force him to give up on his own. ”
Zhou Mengyuan came in.
Seeing the sad faces of the fourth uncle and Aunt Gaigai, Qin'er had tears in her eyes. Anxious, helpless and sympathetic.
"Fourth uncle, you go out to speak, and your words are harsh, so that you can completely forget it. ”
"It's better for Qin'er to say this matter in person. Only when Qin'er said it would work. ”
"I'm not going. Love how to go. ”
Ganoderma lucidum is coming.
didn't ask about the indiscriminate business, nor did he say hello to his uncle and aunt, as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Ouch uncle, there is a young man kneeling at the door of our house, who looks clear and beautiful, and has an extraordinary bearing.
When she saw Lingzhi, Qin'er got angry, "Whoever takes a fancy to whom! ”
Ganoderma lucidum has a thick skin, and the displeasure in his heart is not visible. Turning his face and saying to Zhou Mengyuan, "Young master, Mao Dan is making a fuss about riding a horse, and you make me look for it so hard." Let's go back. ”
"You go first. I'll go back when that's over. ”
"Clank!"
The jade bracelet that was brought to Qin'er when he came and was rejected before fell to the ground and shattered.
All eyes are on it.
Lingzhi rolled his eyes, squatted down and picked up two paragraphs, and said, "Oh! This bracelet is my beloved." It's worth a lot of money, and it's a pity to break it. When it comes to marriage, the bracelet is broken, which is not a good sign!"
How could it be yours? What nonsense!
Zhou Mengyuan knew that under this situation, he did not argue.
It turns out that you, Brother Mengyuan, who seems to be tall, are such a person! How can you please me with other people's things?
The water is clear and the bottom stone is clear, and the hearts of the people are seen in trouble.
No wonder you let Lingzhi move in, it's really a deep mess.
Wiping her eyes and exhaling a long breath, Qin'er resolutely went out.
······
Seeing Qin'er come out, the crowd of onlookers who were pointing fingers and talking quieted down.
Qin'er blushed, endured the strong heartbeat that was about to jump out of her throat, and came to Qi Yue in one breath.
"This young master, if you have anything to say, please stand up and speak. ”
Qi Yue didn't get up, tears welled up in her eyes, and Shi Li said: "Scholar Qi Yue, I met a girl by chance, and her beauty and temperament shocked my heart, so that I couldn't stop worrying. With the consent of my parents, I made a special trip to confess my heart in this move, and begged the girl to be lenient and give face······"
On Thursday, the two of them and Zhou Mengyuan Lingzhi all came out and stood behind Qin'er to cheer her on. Unexpectedly, Qin'er's words made everyone jaw-dropping.
"This young master, you better stand up first. Kneeling all the time, my knees can't stand it. ”
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Because he had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, his local blood veins were blocked, and Qi Yue had already become numb in his legs and feet, and he was almost unconscious. When he got up, he couldn't stand firmly, and his body threw forward, almost not hitting Qin'er's arms.
Qin'er was not surprised. Instinctively take a step forward and reach out.
In front of everyone's eyes, under the noses of his parents, in front of Zhou Mengyuan, Qin'er and Qi Yue were hand in hand, causing an uproar.
The reaction between the two on Thursday was not very strong.
Zhou Mengyuan was so jealous that he turned his face away--shameless! shocking!
Qi Yue stepped back and saluted with grace: "Forgive Qi Yue for being careless and making the girl frightened." Thanks for reaching out!"
"Needless to say. I understand the young master's intention to come. My family is poor, and it is not easy for my father to raise me, we have just discussed it at home, if the young master sincerely likes Qin'er, the dowry is ······ Three gold bars. ”
Qin'er said this, firstly, she wanted Zhou Mengyuan to see that she had weakened her will towards him, hoping to stimulate his fighting spirit to pursue, and secondly, she wanted to bluff Qi Yue and let him completely die of this heart.
"Wow!"
The people around immediately discussed, some people said that Qin'er had forgotten her roots when she saw money, and some people said that Qin'er was introverted, and the young master of the Zhou family had a weak personality and couldn't protect him, so he should marry a masculine man.
Unfortunately, it backfired. The three gold bars failed to stump Qi Yue, and he happily agreed without thinking.
"Wait!" Zhou Mengyuan was forced to say helplessly, "Qin'er, take back your words! For three gold bars, it's not enough to sell yourself." I'll go and get it, folks, as proof, and I'll give you a lot of them. ”
Seeing this, Qi Yue said, "Qin'er, take care, there will be a period later", turned over and left.
Zhou Mengyuan took out the three gold bars, what did he want to do? Is it a dowry, is it isolation, is it to retain? He has not yet thought about it specifically.
Facing Zhou Mengyuan, who was extremely excited, Qin'er's heart stopped, "Brother Mengyuan, don't use it." Let's fulfill the transaction of Qin'er, who has a humble status. ”
Between the words, Qin'er's tears came out of her eyes and she quickly went home.
Lingzhi said: "Young master, let's go back." ”
Zhou Mengyuan roared at Lingzhi in a disfigured manner: "Go away!
Several of the main figures have left one after another, and the villagers are still talking together.
People felt as if they had lost something.
- Not an item.
- It's morality!
- It's the human heart!
······
In front of the villagers, Qin'er's offer to Qi Yue's three gold bars made Zhou Mengyuan very sad. He was ruthless to Qi Yue, who was dead-faced, and he also hated himself for being weak and incompetent, unable to fundamentally change the living environment of Qin'er's family, and unable to capture Qin'er's heart.
In extreme frustration, Zhou Mengyuan took the proceeds of the tomb robbery, and wanted to exchange it for a gold bar in Yonghe Qianzhuang, the county seat, and handed it over to Thursday along with his remaining one, desperately making a desperate attempt to retain Qin'er for the last time.
Things do not turn out the way you want.
As everyone knows, the shopkeeper of Yonghe Qian Zhuang is a superb profiteer who talks nonsense with his eyes open.
Zhou Mengyuan estimated that at least the treasure that could be exchanged for a gold bar, and the shopkeeper only gave less than three hundred taels of silver.
Recalling the indifference and ignorance of Qin'er and the Zhou couple that day, coupled with the insufficient number of gold bars, Zhou Mengyuan felt hopeless to keep it, so he had to run aground with Qin'er, and devoted himself to the crazy tomb robbery.
