Chapter IV
Ji Liu always thinks that maybe Aunt Niu can take a fancy to Uncle Niu, that is, she has a crush on Uncle Niu's generous temperament.
"Then you didn't accompany Aunt Niu to the Hundred Flowers Festival this year, she wasn't angry?" She said this with ridicule, Aunt Niu was not only angry, she chased Uncle Niu in the whole village and scolded her, and the wild dogs on the side of the road were clear.
Uncle Niu looked embarrassed, he touched his head, and said, "That's no way, it has rained for a month, and the Chen family's goods are piled up at home, and if you don't send such a good job, you will lose it." ”
"I see that in addition to the cloth, there seems to be dry goods on your carriage, all of which belong to the Chen family?" When Uncle Niu loaded the car, Ji Liu was greedy.
"Yes, it's all his." Uncle Niu nodded and continued: "These are the richest people in Jingguo, I have to be careful." It is said that the Chen family has opened an iron mine in the past two days, which is really amazing. ”
Ji was sitting on a pile of goods with a cane in one hand, and suddenly interjected after hearing Uncle Niu's words and asked, "Isn't iron ore not privately owned?" ”
Uncle Niu didn't expect that Ji never went out, and he knew a lot about things outside, and he thought that Ji would not know anything but study.
"I heard that the Chen family offered a large number of medicinal materials a few days ago, which is very valuable. As a reward, Wang Jun gave an iron mine to the Chen family. Uncle Niu was also in a fog about this matter, but he heard his boss mention it twice, and shook it out.
After hearing this, Ji thought to himself, in this way, in addition to a gold medal for avoiding death, Chen Xian had another iron mine in his hand, but he didn't know whether this iron mine was a grace or a guillotine.
After that, Ji didn't speak again during the whole process, and as Ji Liu and Uncle Niu gossiped, the three of them arrived at the county seat. Uncle Niu put the two at the door of Chen's shop, and the grandparents and grandchildren summed it up, and he would wait for the two at the door of Chen's shop at noon on the third day, and go back to Lotus Village together.
Ji Liu and the two stumbled and looked for half an hour, and finally settled at the Fulai Inn across the two streets of Baihua Lake. Their rooms are connected to each other, on the left hand side of the stairs on the second floor.
Ji Liu thought about Li Yu in his heart, and after packing up his things, he went downstairs to find Xiao Er and asked for two bowls of clear noodles.
She took the noodles and went to Ji's room, saw him lying on the bed resting, and said helplessly: "Grandpa, eat two mouthfuls of noodles and then sleep." "Since he broke his leg, Ji rarely goes out, and it falls on Ji Liu to farm and make money when he goes out to make money.
Half a day of tossing, he was tired and hungry, heard Ji Liu's words, stood up and walked to the table and sat down, pulled two mouthfuls of noodles in the bowl, and was about to go back to rest, when he heard Ji Liu say: "I want to go to Sister Yu to chat for a while, and by the way, invite her to travel with her tomorrow." ”
"Go ahead, if her man is here, come back early." Ji Mou knew what Ji Liu wanted to talk to Li Yu, although he shouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, but Ji Liu's temper was very clear to him, and it seemed that he had smoothed out the edges and corners of the house too early, but in fact she just restrained her temper, once she touched her weakness, Wang Ba bit her hand and never let go.
"Okay, I know." After Ji Liu finished speaking, he helped Ji to the bed to rest, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went downstairs to the shopkeeper, and went out.
Following the route in his memory, Ji Liu quickly found Li Yu's house. She happened to open the door in the house today, Ji Liu took a closer look, and Li Yu's complexion was obviously much more ruddy than last time.
The aroma from Li Yu's body made Ji Liu's head ache, and she had to fan off the flies while frowning and asking, "Sister Yu, isn't my brother-in-law at home again?" ”
"Oh, he, he went out early yesterday morning," the smile on Li Yu's face was slightly reduced, and he added in a somewhat deep tone: "You know, some people are always away from home when they deliver goods all year round. ”
"Don't talk about him, have you eaten it?" Li Yu obviously didn't want to talk about it.
"After eating, my grandfather and I just came to the county, and we are going to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival in Zhaofeng County in the next few days, do you want to be together?"
Li Yu turned his head and thought for a while, and slowly refused: "I'm not going, the man is not at home, and I will clean it up alone." ”
"Sister Yu, it seems to be doing well lately." Ji Liu always felt that Li Yu had changed too much, and there was weirdness in his bones, so he couldn't help but ask around.
Li Yu showed a smile that didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, adding a touch of coolness to the depth just now, she said, "Yes, it's a good time, it's very good." The hard thing made Ji Liu's heart suddenly tighten, and the goosebumps exploded instantly, and he was terrified.
"It seems that I thought about it too much, I saw that you didn't look good that day, and after you came back from the ferry, you didn't know where to go," Ji Liumo rubbed his arm, laughed embarrassedly twice and continued: "I'm worried about you." ”
"Oh, that day. I went to the widow's house behind the bamboo forest to join in the fun. ”
Ji Liu was stunned, she held the tea that Li Yu poured for her in her hand and slowly squeezed it tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "Sister Yu, it becomes bitter when you add tea water, I don't like it, I'd rather just drink white water." ”
After Li Yu listened to Ji Liu's reassurance, she suddenly felt a little lucky, maybe her life was not all dirty.
But......
Li Yu walked to Jiliu and sat down, touched the hair behind her back, and said gently: "Jiliu, I don't want you to get involved in those unclean things. ”
"You will have to start a family in the future, raise children, and be filial to your in-laws," Li Yu shed a tear when he said: "My Jiliu is so capable, I will definitely find a good in-law's family, and then the life of the two families will be prosperous." ”
"Sister Yu......" Li Yu changed back to her familiar appearance, and Ji Liu choked.
Li Yu didn't want to say too much, and continued to stay here, she was worried that Ji Liu would become as dirty as her, so she got up and wiped her tears, turned her back to Ji Liu and said, "Since you have eaten, I will not keep you." Let's go, don't come later. ”
Ji Liu stood up, she looked at Li Yu, wanted to hug her, and told her that as long as Li Yu was willing to let go of the shackles, it didn't matter if her family made things difficult for her worldly prejudices, and her heart would definitely bloom with the sun.
"Sister Yu, I'm leaving, you ......" But at this time, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, she can't persuade Liu to know that she can't persuade people who admit death.
Li Yu sent her to the door, and watched Ji Liu leave and closed the door. Ji Liu returned to the inn, secretly glanced at Ji Mou, and slept soundly.
She went back to her room, closed her eyes, and didn't care about anything. Ji Liu is very tired, she has never been so tired, even when Ji broke her leg, she firmly believes that she will be able to survive.
Heavy sleep came to Ji Liu, and when she was about to fall asleep, she muttered to herself from the bed: "I just want to make money and live a good life with my grandfather." ”
If marrying someone is such a result, Ji Liu would rather accompany Ji for the rest of his life.
"Girl, get up and get something to eat." Ji Mou's voice sounded in Ji Liu's ears, it was already the middle of the moon, and she had been sleeping. Xiao Er, who was sitting in the hall, said that he would come back when he remembered Liu Wei, this is all time, don't sleep at night if it goes on like this.
Ji Liu opened her eyes and saw Ji standing next to her with a cane, and at the same time she hugged Ji and said, "Grandpa, I want to stay with you for the rest of my life." ”
It was rare for Ji Liu to be so close to Ji, he was a little uncomfortable, and said with a straight face: "You are already a big girl, don't you know if men and women are kissed or not?" ”
Then he forcefully broke the hand of Ji Liuhuan on her waist and said, "Get up quickly, go down and get something to eat." Ji Liu secretly wiped his tears on Ji Mou, and looked up to find that the sky had completely darkened, and he actually slept until night.
"What time is it?" Ji Liu hurriedly bent down to put on his shoes and asked Ji Mou.
"If you don't get some food, the inn will be closed."
Ji Liu laughed out loud: "There is a special hall for the second child, and there are people guarding it day and night, and the door will not be closed." After speaking, he walked out of the room quickly, for fear that he would be scolded if he was one step late.
How could Ji not know that the inn would not be closed, but he just saw that she was sad and had the intention to make her laugh.
Not long after, Ji Liu brought two bowls of porridge and several side dishes, and Ji Ji ate them.
Xu had too long a break in the afternoon, and after dinner, Ji Liu couldn't sleep in bed.
She got out of bed and opened the window to pass the time counting the stars. At this moment, she heard the door of the next room open, and she walked towards the room of Jiliu with deep and shallow steps.
"It's over, it's grandpa, it's time to train again if you haven't slept so late." When Ji Liu heard Ji coming, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the window and went to bed, covering the quilt in one go.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Ji gently pushed open her door, but no one came in and closed it gently.
Ji Liu listened to the sound outside, it didn't feel right, the footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and he didn't go back to the room.
"Why are you going so late?" Ji Liu got up and followed.
Ji Liu tiptoed behind Ji Mou, and when he passed by the lobby, he glanced at Xiao Er, who was asleep, if he entered the thief, he wouldn't know.
She followed a certain road to Baihua Lake, walked along the river to the west, and saw a majestic house after about half a cup of tea.
I saw Ji raise his hand, holding a long thing in his hand, and the guard at the back door let Ji enter the mansion.
"What's that? Oops, it's too dark to see clearly. Ji Liu wanted to get closer, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he could only stomp his feet in place.
Taking advantage of the fact that the little guy at the back door gave Ji a certain guide, she walked briskly against the wall of the big house, and soon saw the gate guarded by the white jade stone lion, with six big red lanterns hanging at the door, and two small maids standing below.
Ji Liu didn't dare to approach, so he hid behind the stone lion and stuck his head out to look at the plaque.
Sheng Mansion.
On the way back, Ji Liu kept thinking that Ji Mou's reaction before was unusual, it was all about the Sheng family, or the Sheng family's master, who came to Sheng Mansion in the middle of the night today, and thought it was also for the ceremony.
"The people in Sheng Mansion know Grandpa?" Ji Liu thought that Ji Mou could enter directly through the back door of the Sheng Mansion, and couldn't help but guess.
"What's that thing?"
Thinking wildly, Ji Liu walked to the Baihua Lake, and she saw that the water had been filled with lotus lanterns, so she was waiting for someone to pick it up tomorrow night and stuff her wish into it.
