CHAPTER XIX

Coming out of the woodware shop, Mother Fang carefully looked at Shanniang who was uncertain, and hesitated: "Girl...... "Do you continue shopping?"

Shan Niang looked up at the sky, suddenly moved her stiff shoulders, turned around, pointed to the shop in front of her, and smiled: "What does the store in front of you sell?" As he spoke, he took the lead and walked along the bluestone road.

Sanhe Wufu couldn't help but look at Fang's mother. They all thought that when they encountered this kind of unhappiness, the girl probably lost the interest in shopping, and the girl who didn't want to go out of the store with a gloomy face, only looked up at the sun, and shrugged her shoulders, as if she was nothing.

So the three of them hurried to follow.

Wufu hugged the burden of embroidery, caught up with Shanniang in three or two steps, pouted and said, "We shouldn't give business to that store!" That shopkeeper just watched people bully us! Girl, why don't we go back and cancel the list? ”

Shanniang waved her hand and smiled: "Forget it, I think his craftsmanship is good, so be it." It's not easy to do business, and that person looks like a bully, and it is estimated that they, the traders, dare not offend others, otherwise the bully will be ruthless and smash the store. ”

"It's not easy to do business, and this shopkeeper is too much!" Even Sanhe complained dissatisfiedly, "We are the customers of the store, he should protect us, but this curved wood shop is still a time-honored brand in the capital......

Shanniang was stunned, couldn't help but stop her feet, and looked back at the wooden shop behind her. It wasn't until then that she noticed that the sign of the wooden shop was engraved with the quaint word "curvature".

After marrying Yuan Changqing for a long time, Shanniang accidentally learned that the owner of this curved wood shop was actually Yuan Changqing's maternal grandfather's family, and he still had a share of it......

When Fang's mother talked about the carpentry shop in the town, Shanniang didn't think that it would have anything to do with the Quju Xing - think about it, Meishan Town is a relatively developed town, after all, it is just a town, not even a county seat, how can it have anything to do with the famous Quju Xing in the capital thousands of miles away......

But I didn't expect it to be related!

So, in the previous life, was there such a carpentry shop in the town?!

Shanniang frowned, and suddenly realized again that she really knew very little about Yuan Changqing......

While she was pondering, a cry rang in her ears.

“…… Don't fight, woo, it's ...... for you."

The cry sounded surprisingly familiar.

Shanniang looked up, only to find that there was an alley on the left. There is a stack of bamboo baskets at the entrance of the alley, which just blocks the entrance of the alley.

And the cry came from the alley behind the bamboo basket.

“…… Cry again! Did you mean to recruit someone or something?! ”

Behind the bamboo basket, there was another child's voice, followed by a murmur of punching and kicking.

Shanniang raised her eyebrows, only to hear the previous voice howl in pain, then lowered her voice and begged for mercy: "Don't, don't fight, woo...... I don't cry anymore, woo...... It hurts ......."

- What a familiar line!

This time, even San and Wufu glanced at each other.

Shanniang tilted her head and waved at Sanhe and them, signaling them to stand still, and she turned around and approached the stack of bamboo baskets, looking into the alley through the gap in the bamboo baskets.

Through the gap in the bamboo basket, she saw at a glance that the fat brother of her family was pouting miserably, squatting in the corner with his head in his hands and sobbing. In front of him, three children his age huddled together to watch something.

One of the children asked, "How much?" ”

The other complained: "Why is it just like that?!" ”

The third child turned around and picked up Little Fat Dun, shook him and said, "Dead Little Fat, did you hide the money?" Take it out! ”

The three children surrounded the little fat dun in the middle for a while, but they couldn't find anything. So the child in the lead was annoyed, scolded the "poor ghost", and pushed the little fat dun. Chubby Dun spun around in place like a ball. When the other two children saw it, they immediately laughed, and the three bear children pushed the little fat mound back and forth like a spinning top.

The little fat man struggled and cried: "The money has been given to you, what do you want?!" ”

"That's the money, it's not enough!"

"But I don't have any money......"

"I don't have the money to go home and get it!"

"The family is gone, and all the monthly money for this month is given to you." The little fat man cried.

The bear child led by "That ......" groaned slightly, and said categorically: "Then you will go to your aunt's yard and steal it!" Didn't you say that your aunt often stuffed you with money? ”

"Well, by the way," said the other child, "wasn't your sister just kicked out of the West Garden?" I heard that the ancestor was merciful and didn't take back anything she gave her, so if you go and steal one or two pieces, won't you be rich? ”

"Don't, don't!" Little Fat Dun was so frightened that he shook his hand again and again, "My sister will beat me to death!" Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something scary, and while struggling hard, he pushed back his hand to resist the children and said, "My sister will kill you too!" ”

- Ho, this fat dun, after being beaten fat, I am quite confident in her beating skills!

Shanniang couldn't help pursing her lips when she heard it.

"Ha, just your sister's little thin arms and legs?!" The child at the head laughed, and the little chubby dun was resisting fiercely at this time, so he asked him to take the little chubby dun.

"Dare to hit me!" The kid was immediately annoyed, and pushed the little fat dun hard, but the little fat dun was unstable on his footing, and his head hit the wall with a "bang".

What a loud bang!

Even Shanniang standing at the mouth of the alley could hear it clearly.

She couldn't help but shrink her shoulders and craned her neck to look over.

I saw that the little chubby dun who was hit and swollen in the head unexpectedly did not cry, but covered his forehead, turned his head and stared at the three children and snorted: "You, you don't know how powerful my sister is, woo, you rob me of my money, and, beat me, I want to sue my sister, my sister will definitely avenge me when I turn back, she will definitely kill you, woo, it hurts for her to beat people!" ”

Shanniang couldn't help but blink—I don't know where this little chubby dun got her confidence, and she thought she would avenge him......

Although Xiao Chubby Dun's words sounded funny, at the same time, Shanniang's heart was inexplicably soft. A strange feeling has crept up so quietly...... Something indescribable, like being needed and relied on......

At the entrance of the alley, the three bullying children listened to Xiao Chubby Dun's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed, and one of them said: "I said that you are really useless, even if you carry Brother Qi out, you can scare people, but mention your nerdy sister, she can be a fart!" ”

"Seventh Brother won't care about him!" Another smiled and said: "It's the thirteenth sister, when she was still in the West Garden, I was afraid that she could still use the old lady to scare people, what can she do now?" The feathered phoenix is not as good as the chicken......"

When Shanniang heard this, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she pointed back at Wufu and them, signaling them not to move forward again, she turned around the broken bamboo baskets, lifted the skirt, and kicked on the buttocks of the boy who said she was a hairy phoenix, and then twisted the ears of the other two boys one by one with lightning speed, and sneered at the three little boys who were frightened by the sudden appearance of her.

"Really? It's useless to bring out my sister?! Then let's try it and see what his sister's little arms and legs can do! ”

And just as Shanniang was in a big way, she didn't know that above the alley, in a small window, there was a person with his head down, looking at her with a look of interest.

*·*·*

The alley where Hou Jue was blocked by people was actually the alley next to the carpentry shop.

And this carpentry shop is the branch of the famous curved wood shop in Meishan Town in the capital - as Shan Niang knows, this curved wood shop is the property of Yuan Changqing's grandfather's family, and his deceased mother also has a few shares in it.

As for why Yuan Changqing appeared in this Meishan Town at this time, instead of at the Spring Appreciation Banquet as Shanniang knew in the previous life...... But because at this time in his previous life, he was actually already in Meishan Town. It's just that Shanniang didn't know it at that time.

Of course, Shanniang in this life still doesn't know anything.

The reason why Yuan Changqing appeared here was that his mentor Lin Zhonghai wanted to come to Meishan Town to save his relatives, and he happened to hear that Yuan Changqing's step-grandmother - that Meng - wanted him to accompany her to Meishan Hou's Mansion as a guest, Lin Zhonghai was afraid that his loyal and honest disciple who didn't like to talk would be bullied and didn't know how to complain, so he laughed in front of Mrs. Meng, insisting that he was not in good health and needed Yuan Changqing to escort him back to his hometown. And out of respect for teachers and teaching, it is not easy for the Meng family to refuse, not to mention that the Hou family is in Meishan Town, and Yuan Changqing has promised her that she will attend the Spring Appreciation Banquet on time, so Meng reluctantly agreed to him.

As for the fifth prince Zhou Chong, it was the prince who was afraid that after Yuan Changqing and Teacher Lin were not in the capital, this bear child would be out of control and cause trouble, so he packed him up and stuffed him to Lin Zhonghai and took him out of the capital together.

Although Zhou Chong was a little muddy, he was a disciple of the great Confucian Lin Zhonghai, and he could still be regarded as a gentleman. It was a gentleman who didn't have the right to bully the weak, and when he realized that he had bullied a girl very little, Zhou Chong, who returned to the second floor, suddenly lost his previous domineering, and only lay on the table so weakly and didn't move.

Lin Ruzhiyuan was also happy that he had made a new friend, and he didn't want to offend Zhou Chong in the blink of an eye. As a pond fish that was affected, she blamed Zhou Chong for the reason why she suffered Shanniang's cold face, and couldn't help but criticize Zhou Chong for a while.

Lin Ruxuan, the sister on the side, also helped her sister make up for a shot from time to time.

And the owner of this room, Yuan Changqing, leaned against the window facing the alley as if he had nothing to do with himself, holding his arms and watching the excitement of the five princes, while silently thinking about his own thoughts.

The reason why Yuan Changqing mentioned in front of Mr. that the old lady wanted to bring him to the Hou Mansion was that he had already guessed that Meng and his fourth uncle were determined to make a fuss about his marriage this time.

They failed to prevent him from going to school before, but after all, they still asked him to worship under Lin Zhonghai's door, which has made the mother and son feel deeply in danger, if they ask him to marry a good family now, I am afraid that this family will be even more restless day and night. This pair of mothers and sons are the best at acting, and they are always concerned about his loyal orphans, so they want to marry him, and they must not let people put their beaks, so Meishan Hou has become the first choice.

This Marquis of Meishan, although he no longer has a title on his body now, he was once the court of the Fifth Marquis, but now he has no power in the court, but he is rich and known to the whole Zhou. And a granddaughter-in-law who only has money but no backstage is naturally far more useful than a granddaughter-in-law who has a backstage but no money. What's more, the old lady in charge of the inner house of the Hou family also has the surname Meng ......

Meng's calculations, Yuan Changqing knew it. It's just that the mother and son never believed it, they were as arrogant as him, and they didn't even pay attention to the title that their ancestors should have gotten him, so how could they care about the lack of help from their wives? ! He has always been confident that as long as he wants, he can get it with his own ability.

Yuan Changqing never fights uncertain battles, and always prefers to plan carefully in advance, so he leaked his wind in front of his husband, and then came to this Meishan town in advance as he wished.

The reason why he wanted to come over early was to take advantage of the time before Mrs. Meng arrived, to get a good touch of the Hou family and the daughters of the Hou family - since what the Meng family wanted was for him to marry the girl of the Hou family, it was to leave him a little room to operate. Thinking that as long as the bride's surname is Hou, the old lady and his fourth uncle will not care too much about the bride's candidate. Even if there was a chance in the future that he would fall to the worst possible situation, at least he could try to steer the direction so that they wouldn't shoehorn him into an unbearable wife......

It is also thanks to the fact that his grandfather's carpentry shop has been opened throughout the Great Zhou, and there is such a branch in this Meishan Town, which does not mean that he does not know anything about the situation of the Hou family.

And just as Yuan Changqing was watching the excitement of the five princes and planning the next step, there was a sudden noise of children outside the window. He just didn't inadvertently glance out, but it was so coincidental that he happened to see a daughter of the Hou family.

Although he could only see the top of the girl's head at this time, the light purple clothes that he had just seen not long ago were still recognized by Yuan Changqing - this one was the thirteenth of the Hou family who made him only see a touch of lip color, ranked thirteenth, and had a big temper.

And at this moment, the thirteenth girl, Hou Shanniang, was tiptoeing, looking at her brother's excitement through a stack of broken bamboo baskets, but she didn't know that above her head, the enemy in her previous life, Yuan Changqing and Yuan Boss, were also looking at her excitement with implicit interest.
