Chapter 475: Xifang
Chapter 475: West Fang
Seeing him like that, Li Xin was suddenly surprised: "What news is there really in the town?" ”
"Nothing else is ......," Guan Wen muttered, "You also know that if I want to hear something about the town, I just want to hear the news of the An family and the Shen family." "Ya-wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Fa" But there have been no rumors about these two families in the town recently, at most, there are two points of embarrassment for Miss An's family......"
Thinking of the An family's young lady An Xuan, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh. Although it is not a problem to be kind and soft-hearted, it is stupid to listen to and believe partially and stubbornly go too far. Simplicity and stupidity are really just a word difference.
Guan Wen said in a deep voice: "Isn't it rumored that the batch of ringing horses in the north are active in our Yizhou Mansion for a generation?" Recently, it seems that there has been a case of destruction in a county and town, and none of the family has been spared, all of them have died, and the death is very miserable......"
Guan Wen paused, reached out and put his arm around Li Xin's shoulder and let her lean on him, as if he was afraid of her fear.
"Because of this, now the matter of the ringing horses has been turned over again, and everyone lives in fear, for fear that they will be targeted, and the town is a lot deserted."
Li Xin exhaled: "Then Xue Ye shouldn't have sent his son to the countryside for this reason." Li Xin said: "If he is really afraid of the ringing horse activity, he can detain Qingyan at home, and it is better than letting him alone in our countryside." ”
"Or maybe they think those thieves are only staring at the rich people in town?" Guan Wen said: "It is said that the family who had the accident has quite a family background, with thousands of acres of fertile land under their hands, and there are hundreds of tenant farmers who help them do things......
Li Xin pursed her lips and suddenly asked, "Then is the town still peaceful now?" ”
"I haven't been there much lately, so I haven't heard any news." Guan Wendao: "But every time I go, I go to find the fourth brother, but he said that he didn't hear what happened in the town, and it can be regarded as peaceful." ”
Li Xin didn't say anything more, and coaxed Yang'er and Xiaokang to go back. He was discussing with Guan Wen about the painting of the new house.
Guan Wen had already gone to negotiate with Master Wu about repairing the fireplace, and Master Wu readily agreed that he would be able to bring someone to work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. As for painting and decorating the new house, Li Xin wanted to discuss it with her family again. What kind of house everyone wants, she wants to ask one by one, at least to make every family member in the family basically satisfied.
When Master Wu was in full swing and began to repair the fireplace, Guan Wen and Li Xin also went to the town with Ah Mei.
The time of Qiu Yu is getting closer and closer, and it is time for them to pick up Aunt Wei.
When he arrived at the mouth of Jiuzi Alley, Li Xin smelled a very smoky aroma of wine wafting from Jiuzi Alley. A man may snort hard and take a hard sip, but Li Xin has always disliked the taste of wine. Immediately covered his nose, frowned and said softly: "Although this alley is called Jiuzi Lane, the smell of this wine was not so strong before......
Ah Mei also frowned lightly: "This smell is too strong, isn't there a drunkard in this house?" ”
As he spoke, the three of them walked in the direction of the Wei family, and the closer they got to the Wei family, the more the smell became clearer.
Guan Wen stretched out his hand and slapped the door panel and shouted; "Is Brother Wei at home?"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Soon. Aunt Wei's voice came, accompanied by bursts of coughing. There was a sound of footsteps, and the door opened. Aunt Wei said in surprise: "It's you!" Hurry in, hurry in! ”
After speaking, Aunt Wei coughed twice more and opened the door to invite them in.
Ah Mei hurriedly supported Aunt Wei, with real worry on her face: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Sick? ”
Aunt Wei waved her hand hurriedly, "I'm not sick, I'm just choking on this wine......"
Aunt Wei looked helpless and beckoned them to come into the house to do it, Li Xin hurriedly asked her not to bother, and poured tea by herself. also handed it over to Ah Mei first, and asked Ah Mei to give it to Aunt Wei to drink.
"Auntie, Brother Wei is not here?"
"I went out to sell calligraphy and paintings." Aunt Wei had a smile on her face: "He, he has been going out early and returning late recently." The autumn time is coming, and he is pressing at this time to earn more money for the road, and it won't be so hard to go there when the time comes. ”
Li Xin nodded, she had always admired Wei Shusheng's backbone. First time I saw him on the docks. Although he felt that this scholar was a little pedantic, "a good man does not suffer immediate losses", he preferred to work against Yan San. After a few contacts, it can be seen that this is a person with a true temperament, otherwise Ah Mei secretly promised him in her heart, and Li Xin would not have complied with her and helped match this family.
"Auntie, we are here to pick you up from Lotus Village this time." Li Xin said with a smile: "I mentioned last time, when Wei Shusheng goes to Qiufu, he will definitely worry about you. You're old, and it's hard for you to follow him to the state capital. Some time ago, we were busy, and we couldn't take care of seeing you here, but now we see that the time for autumn is approaching, so we came to pick you up. ”
Ah Mei whispered on the side: "The sister-in-law in the house is also ready, just waiting for you to come." ”
Aunt Wei suddenly smiled from ear to ear. A few days ago, she muttered to Wei Shusheng about this, but after all, this was brought up by the Guan family, and they didn't want to go to the door in a hurry, and Wei Shusheng also said that he would wait and see if the Guan family would talk about this again. I didn't expect people to pick it up in person today.
In the end, you are paired with the Guan family! This future daughter-in-law is filial, and the people in the in-laws are all amiable, and there is no bending mind.
Aunt Wei smiled and said, "This ...... Xingzhi hasn't come back yet, let's mention it when he comes back. ”
Guan Wen got up and said, "Auntie, where does Wei Shusheng sell calligraphy and paintings?" I'll take a look, if it's late and it's dark, it's not going to be easy to walk. ”
Aunt Wei hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, he said that it was from Xifang, and he might have to look for it for a while." ”
Guan Wen was stunned, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Li Xin glanced at him, Guan Wen smiled reluctantly, and his voice was slightly deep: "Okay aunt, I'll go now." ”
Aunt Wei didn't doubt him, nodded and smiled as she watched Guan Wen leave.
Li Xin muttered in his heart.
After the last time Shen Siye's wedding banquet, Guan Wen went to the town to inquire about things, but because he heard someone say that Shen Siye's name and the name of Liuyan Pavilion, he went to Liuyan Pavilion, talked with Shen Siye in the brothel, and met Xue Qian.
After coming back, Guan Wen told Li Xin the truth, and he was a little cautious in his words, for fear that Li Xin would misunderstand that he went to the brothel for other purposes.
Li Xin didn't pay much attention to it at that time, first, he didn't want to have anything to do with Guan Wen about this brothel. Is her own man the kind of person who asks for flowers and willows, Li Xin is confident that he can still trust him, so naturally he will not suspect anything. The relationship between husband and wife is expensive, according to Guan Wen's temperament, if he really does something, he will never mention Liu Yange.
Second, after all, Liu Yan Pavilion was not the focus at that time, the focus was on the death of the An family's master. Human lives are involved, and of course she won't bother with anything else.
It's just that Li Xin still remembers - maybe it's because the woman is careful, and the name of that place is remembered very clearly.
At that time, Guan Wenming clearly mentioned that the Liuyan Pavilion was in Xifang.
And now the place where Wei Shusheng sells calligraphy and paintings is also Xifang?
Aunt Wei was talking to Li Xin, asking Li Xin what was going on at home and so on, so that Li Xin regained her mind and began to talk to Aunt Wei.
After a long time, the aroma of the wine dissipated slightly. Maybe it's because people have been staying for a long time, and this smell has penetrated into the nasal cavity to make people get used to it, so the rich taste is relatively light.
Even if it's a little lighter, it's still quite pungent.
Li Xin couldn't help asking: "Auntie, we don't usually smell such a strong aroma of wine, what's going on today, why is it so strong...... After waiting for a while, we went out, and others thought we had a hangover. ”
Aunt Wei couldn't help laughing: "Look at us sober, how do we look like hangovers." ”
sighed again, "It's not the ...... next door"
Aunt Wei pointed to the family next door to her.
"Last time you came and left, Xingzhi told me that Second Sister Qiao is a different person. I didn't think something was quite right when I looked at it later, no matter how she came to talk to me, she didn't need to stay every day, did she? Then I found out that she didn't do any work at all, and gradually my attitude towards her faded, and then somehow she didn't come to the door. ”
Saying that, Aunt Wei sighed again: "But I have seen her man beat her several times later, and the scolding is very ugly, what is he talking about...... I don't want my life, I beg her to be such a broken flower...... Hey, and then I didn't see her shadow anymore, but the smell of wine next door gradually diffused, presumably the man couldn't think about it, drinking bars every day......"
Li Xin frowned, she couldn't talk much about other people's housework, but the smell of wine ...... It's too strong, it's like knocking over a wine jar, if you really drink it like this, you can't drink it to death?
"Then the lady hasn't seen the couple in the next room next to you?" Li Xin asked.
Aunt Wei nodded: "No, I don't go out much, even if I go out to buy some vegetables, meat, rice noodles, or something, I can't meet Second Sister Qiao." I guess she didn't come out much. ”
Aunt Wei sighed: "At first, I thought she was inconsistent, coaxing me to talk to her, I was unhappy. Later, when she stopped coming, she heard her man beating and scolding her again. I've seen her beaten a few times...... I think she's so pathetic......"
"The eldest lady is kind-hearted." Li Xin smiled: "But this is also someone's housework, and it's not easy for outsiders to take care of it." ”
Aunt Wei waved her hand: "I didn't want to deal with it, I just thought she was a woman's family, pitiful." ”
If she wants to live a stable life, presumably her man won't beat her. Li Xin thought to herself. The last time I came out of Wei's house, the man in his thirties with a sideways face and a vicious look should be the man of Second Sister Qiao, although his appearance is very scary, but the sweat towel hanging around his neck tells others very clearly that he is a responsible man who works hard to support his family. Later hit her...... I'm afraid I've heard the rumors, Q
