Chapter 14: Departure

It was already the second half of the night when I returned to the river, and the lotus flowers on the river were gently shaking, greeting Sui Lian'er and the others.

Sui Lian'er yawned and said in a vague tone, "I'll sleep first, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

Sanniang answered.

Reaching out to stroke the lotus flowers in the pond, he whispered, "You are much better?" Although it was a question, the words did contain the joy of being sure.

The lotus fairy's ethereal voice was much more stable, and said, "Yes, thank you, girl, the girl's name is in Xia Fuyuan." ”

Sanniang said: "Okay, Furui, what are you going to do in the future?" Want revenge? ”

Hibiscus swayed the blooming flowers, a little confused: "I don't know, it's impossible to say that I don't want to take revenge, but he also led me into the red dust and appreciated the love words." It also let me see through the relationship, I ......, I want to wait until I can cultivate my human form to ask him why he did that to me? I ......"

Sanniang interrupted her with a smile. I knew her inner struggles.

"Okay, I know, since you haven't figured it out, let's wait until your body is well cultivated and you can transform into a human form."

Fleur softly agreed.

……

After worrying all night and not seeing the shadow of the fox, the Zeng family relaxed a little and released the sister who was locked in the box, feeding water and food.

After tidying up, the man followed Zeng to the back mountain to tidy up the bottom of the hillside, and the woman stayed at home to prepare lunch.

Zeng's let the village kill the pig in advance keep half a pig,

For a time, the village and the village were all busy.

Sui Lian'er is not easy to disturb.

Just stay under the water and continue to sleep.

For three days in a row, the Zeng family was not harassed by the fox, so they cried with joy and put their minds at ease.

From Zeng's vaguely, I knew whose reason it was, and I worked hard.

……

The water pavilion and the project of the back mountain are started at the same time, for a while, Xiaohe Village is a lively scene, fortunately, everyone abides by the rules, every day after dark, there is no one left by the river, and there is no one in the back mountain.

After the prototype of the terraces was sorted out, Sui Lian'er asked Zeng to faint from the sludge cleaned up from the pond and fertilize the land.

It looks refreshing and clean, and it doesn't smell like a place where it smells, so I'm finally relieved.

Find a time to go to the back mountain, and the people on the back mountain are in full swing.

If you are thirsty, there is a specially prepared mung bean soup, which has licorice in it, and when you take a bite, it is sweet and silky, plus mint leaves, and it is a cool air that rushes straight to the heavenly spirit cover.

One word, cool.

It's just a thing, and it seems to be a little empty.

After Sui Lianer thought about it, he found Chen again.

"At the foot of the hill two more rooms should be built to be spacious, bright and ventilated, and in the future to be used for silkworm farming, and by the pond, occasionally with pear and mulberry trees.

The road behind the mountain is more spacious, with some stones to pave on the top, on both sides of the stone road, plant peach trees and mulberry trees, or interplant, and then leave a foot wide on both sides of the path, plant some peony flowers, and put some grass carp, silver carp, and the like in the pond, can it be done? ”

Chan pondered for a moment.

"Yes, no problem, I'll discuss it with my sister-in-law."

Sui Lian'er agreed.

Chen discussed with Zeng, did not avoid people, and quickly finalized the plan, Chen was responsible for procurement, and Zeng was responsible for supervision.

It didn't take long for both locations to be completed on time.

Looking at the built house, Sui Lian'er nodded with satisfaction, this is the house she wants, go back and plant a few vines such as creepers on the wall, it is best to make a rose wall, roses are not rare, there are on the mountain behind, go back and dig two lessons on the mountain.

Turn to the pond, the pond has two openings, one is used for water intake, one is used for water, the lotus flowers inside are taking root and sprouting, I believe that with the lotus fairy, it will become a famous scenic spot here.

The two-storey water pavilion, the first floor has nothing to do, mainly used to entertain guests, and the He Wenshun brothers used it for studying.

The second floor is mainly a living area made of bamboo.

It's still empty now, let's see how it will be arranged in the future.

He turned to Chen and thanked him, "Thank you, I'm satisfied." ”

Chen's tense body relaxed and smiled.

"That's good."

And he took out the rest of the money and the ledger.

"This is the rest, as well as the account books of the water pavilion and the back mountain, you see."

Sui Lianer did not answer.

"I believe in your character, don't look at the account book, the rest of the money will be used as a thank you for your busy work for this water pavilion during this time, please don't shirk it, otherwise I won't dare to look for you if I have something to help in the future."

Chen smiled embarrassedly and accepted it.

Sui Lian'er continued: "In three days, I am going to take Brother He Wenwu on a study tour, please prepare travel items for them in advance." ”

Going out to study is a big thing to increase knowledge, she has no chance in her life, and her son has an opportunity now, so she can't miss it.

said goodbye to Sui Lian'er in a hurry, turned his head and went home, and on the way, he remembered that He Wenwu of his sister-in-law's family was also going to be with him, so he turned his steps and went to find his sister-in-law.

Tsang is cleaning the courtyard at home.

Hearing this, he put down the broom in his hand and was a little embarrassed.

"I haven't been out of the house for ......, and I don't know what to bring."

Chen Shi Meng thought of something, took Zeng's hand to find his mother-in-law, and explained:

"Back then, when my father-in-law went out to participate in the imperial examination, my mother-in-law sorted it out, and she must have known it."

When Zeng heard it, too.

Without saying a word, I went to find my mother-in-law.

He Xiucai's wife listened to their words, although she was a little sad that her grandson was going out at a young age, but just like her husband said, go out to see the world, know how thick the sky is, how wide the earth is, and it is good for the children.

What's more, this time there is also that protection, which is a rare opportunity.

Gently said what he needed.

The two listened carefully and confirmed each other.

In the end, Zeng said with some embarrassment.

"Everything else is good, that is, the carriage is a big deal, there is a carriage at home, my family, and the people in the village need to travel, if they let them drive the carriage away, it will be inconvenient for everyone to go out in the future?"

Chen touched the purse in his sleeve, bit his teeth, and his heart was ruthless.

"Buy!"

Zeng wondered.

"What to buy?"

As he spoke, Chen was not entangled, and said: "Buy another one, and add a frame, there may be more than one study tour in the future, this first time, I am ready, and I need to add something in the future." There was experience, too. ”

Zeng was surprised, for the sake of the child, the Chen family was willing to pay for it.

With the silver that was not yet hot in his arms, he bought a set of frames and all the items.

Passing by the food store, I thought that the food was not very good when I went out.

and pulled Zeng in.

"Shopkeeper, do you have white noodles? How do you sell rice? ”

The shopkeeper smiled when he saw the two people who came to buy something with a sad face.

"The two of you are really good-looking, I'm the fairest in the neighborhood, Tong Su is not bullied. It's fair to compare which crook in the east end of town. ”

Chen panicked in his heart, and asked meaningfully: "What's wrong with which one in the east of the city?" It's not very famous, and I heard that there are transactions with many dignitaries. ”

The shopkeeper whispered.

"Which one is famous for lotus flowers, the nearby dignitaries and dignitaries, and which one has not bought lotus flowers in his house, they all show off points. This is also the reputation of the first one.

It's a pity that I heard that two days ago, all the lotus flowers sold by his family died in an instant, and the jar where the lotus flowers were put smelled of rot.

No, those nobles were unwilling, they all came to trouble him, and now he doesn't even dare to open a shop. ”

Chen Shi sighed in her heart after hearing this, she just listened to the good name of the shops in the east of the city, and thought that only the exquisite products with a faint fragrance could match Sui Lian'er, so she went to buy a batch of lotus seeds.

The finished lotus was too expensive, and she didn't buy it.

I hurriedly bought the food I needed, and returned home with a messy mind.

"Sister-in-law, you unload the things first, I have something to do, go out."

Zeng sighed suspiciously.

He put his things down and drove the horse to the stable.

Chen hurried to the river, and happened to meet Sanniang teaching the child.

I saw my son concentrated.

A wave of pride arises.

The anxiety in my heart disappeared immediately.

Squatting not far away, watching from afar.

Until Sanniang finished class.

Greet Chan to come over.

Chen was embarrassed to tell the story.

Sanniang smiled softly.

"Don't worry, madam, the girl already knew, and she changed the seeds, and dug one from the back mountain, you see, it didn't bloom very well."

Chen turned his head and looked, it was true.

The turquoise water surface, slightly rippling, a delicate lotus flower, slim and elegant, the emerald green lotus leaves stand on the water surface, the sunlight reflects a hazy light on it, and it is a good flower at a glance.

"It's so good-looking, spirit!"

Sanniang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the girl saw that you haven't slept well for the water pavilion in the past few days, so I didn't tell you, and I ask you to forgive the girl." ”

The soft tone, the gentle tone, just like the gentle breeze in March, blew away the anxiety in Chen's heart, making Chen not very embarrassed, but he really smiled.

Sanniang thoughtfully pushed the two brothers over.

"One day, we're going to go far away. Take a day off and spend time with your parents at home. ”

He Wenwu nodded happily in agreement.

"Okay, thank you, sister."

grabbed his younger brother, followed behind Chen, and went home together.

Sanniang walked to the lotus pond and said with a smile: "Now you don't have to worry about it, he has already received retribution, how do you feel?" ”

Fleur said a little slowly, "Sister, I feel like my body is empty. I wanted to take on a human form and ask him why, but now that he has been punished, sister, my heart is empty. ”

Sui Lian'er came out of the river and said casually: "You are empty. Speaking of emptiness, I suddenly ate glutinous rice lotus, how big has your lotus root grown, can you eat it? ”

The good atmosphere was directly destroyed by Sui Lian'er.

Sanniang glanced at her angrily and funny, and said angrily:

"My dad sent some lotus roots, I'll find someone to make them later."

Sui Lian'er nodded with satisfaction.

Wander around your territory to see if you need anything to add.

After walking a few steps, Sanniang asked with a smile behind her:

"Girl, what do you need to prepare when you go out?"

Sui Lian'er Yaoyao's head.

"No, if you need something, take a trip to remove the Demon Guardian Road, you will have it, and the big families have a lot of oil and water."

Sanniang couldn't laugh or cry.

Did the girl forget, she is also a big family.

watched Sui Lian'er wander to the back mountain.

Sanniang's gaze turned to the pond.

"Fleur, if you feel that there is nowhere to go, stay here first, there is a girl's deterrence, and no one will offend you."

Fleur softly thanked her.

"Thank you, girl."

The days passed quickly, and it was time to set off.

The Chen family drove the carriage to the place and put down the things again, before they helped each other and turned around and left.

The two brothers who stayed behind had a sense of separation.

He Wenwu asked his younger brother pitifully.

"Are we abandoned?"

He Wenshun was also a little sad.

"No, we're out to see each other."

But looking at the reluctant father, I am still a little sad.

Sui Lian'er slapped one person and one slap.

"Okay, at a young age, think about how careful you don't grow up, hurry up, I'll take you shopping."

With familiar people, the sadness of the brothers disappeared immediately, not to mention that they couldn't come back.

Yesterday, when I had a reunion dinner, my grandfather also said that they should follow their sister well.

One person hugged Sui Lian'er's arm and didn't let go.

Sui Lian'er didn't dare to use his strength, for fear of hurting them, so he discussed with them in a good voice.

"Loosen up, I'm going to cast spells to speed things up."

As soon as He Wenwu heard the spell, he grabbed He Wenshun and formed a pile, looking at Sui Lian'er with sparkling eyes.

Silently urged her to hurry up.

Sui Lian'er regretted taking them out with some regrets.

The silk thread shook in his hand, and soon the carriage moved.

After less than a quarter of an hour, He Wenwu couldn't hold back any longer.

threw himself into Sui Lian'er's arms and pleaded.

"Sister...... Sister, stop, stop. I...... I'm going to throw up. ”

After saying that, a vomiting look immediately came out.

Sui Lian'er was quick to move, braked sharply, and the carriage stopped.

He Wenwu didn't sit still, he lay forward, rolled out of the carriage with a grunt, fell on the edge of the carriage, and spit out on the edge of the carriage.

Sanniang and He Wenshun are also pale in a row.

Although Sui Lian'er was a little unenergetic, he was fine.

"Are you as for you?"

He Wenwu didn't say much: "As for! ”

Sui Lian'er: "......" Well, she admits that motion sickness is really uncomfortable.

It's finally relieved.

He Wenwu lay on the car weakly and pleaded sincerely.

"Sister, this is what I have asked for all my life, let's not speed up. Is it okay to let go of the restraints, trust the horses, and let the horses roam freely in the blue sky? ”

Sui Lian'er supported his chin with the palm of his hand.

"You're not afraid that the horses will lead the way?"

He Wenwu said categorically: "Don't be afraid! And my sister, I believe that my sister will be able to grasp the direction. ”

He Wenshun was also beside him obediently with round eyes, and shouted coquettishly: "Sister." ”

Sui Lian'er surrendered.

"Okay, okay. For your loveliness, I agree. ”

He Wenwu shouted happily, and He Wenshun also showed a sweet smile.

Only one silk thread was left to identify the direction, and the others were taken back by Sui Lian'er.

The swaying speed of the carriage, without the passion of drag racing at all, made her drowsy.

explained a sentence to the other three.

"It's up to you to make your own decisions."

Leaned on the carriage and fell asleep.

He Wenwu couldn't stay idle, ran to the edge of the carriage, raised the horsewhip, pretended to be driving the carriage, and asked Sanniang and He Wenshun proudly.

"Sister Sanniang, Wen Shun, I don't look like a carriage driver?"

Sanniang smiled and pulled the person back.

"Like, very like, come back quickly, you scared the horses."

He Wenwu turned his head to look, and it was true, the horse's big eyes were staring intently at the leather whip in his hand.
