Cheng Qingwan followed the sound and saw Cheng Hua'er standing at the door with a basin of clothes, her eyes slightly red, as if she had cried.

"I saw that the land was empty, so I planted something." She put the hoe down, and suddenly realized what she was doing: "Auntie, just now this pheasant climbed down the slope to our yard, I grabbed it, slaughter it and eat it tonight." ”

Cheng Hua'er's fat pheasant was very pleased: "Okay, I'll boil hot water and kill the chicken now, and then stew it, and you can eat it at night." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded and smiled, and the mother and daughter walked to the kitchen with a smile.

"I went to wash clothes just now, and I heard people in the village saying that Song Da hurriedly went to Widow Chen's mother's house in the next village." As she worked, the woman said, "I heard that when I got into the ox cart, my legs were still shaking, and I almost fell off. ”

"Yes, next time I dare to come, I will really let him be a eunuch."

Cheng Hua'er listened to this, with a smile on her face and a smile on her face, and even talked more.

The mother and daughter had been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, and in the evening, the fragrant chicken finally appeared on the table.

Cheng Qingwan swallowed her saliva with the chicken soup, blew two mouthfuls at random, and sent it to her mouth.

"Slow down, there's so much more." Cheng Hua'er doted on the girl and kept putting chicken in her bowl.

When they were almost finished, Cheng Qingwan put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked softly, "What happened to A-Niang this afternoon?" ”

The woman's movements paused, and she remembered the man's flirtatious tone in the afternoon, and the eyes that were glued to her, and immediately became disgusted.

Then he hurriedly pressed it down and shook his head: "What can happen, but I just went to wash my clothes." ”

The girl's eyes seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

"Auntie, in fact, ......"

"Cheng, it turns out that you are having dinner." A fat and strong aunt walked up to her outside the door, with a smirk on her face: "Ouch, there are still chickens, so why did you come to my house to borrow food in the afternoon?" ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Cheng Hua'er's face, and she hurriedly got up: "This is a pheasant, I was lucky to pick it up." ”

"I said, your dowry was taken away by Song Da, where is the money to buy chickens." The aunt nodded: "What Daqiang said today is a little ugly, but it's not wrong." If you marry Wanwan to our son, and I will give you ten catties of rice grain, isn't this a good deal? ”

Cheng Hua'er's face was slightly cold: "My family is still young, and it is not yet time for Xu to marry others." ”

"It's fourteen, and it's time to do it next year. The two of us are next door, if you are really reluctant, just take two steps. The aunt looked the girl up and down, and said with a smile: "Wan Wan looks so thin, but don't worry, no matter whether the boy or the girl can give birth, I will treat her as an ancestor." ”

Cheng Qingwan was uncomfortable by her eyes, and frowned to find out this person from the memory of the original owner, the next-door neighbor Song Daqiang's wife Wang, gave birth to three daughters and a son, the daughters were all married, and the son was a fool, the fool who broke her hand yesterday......

"Aunt Wang, don't say it anymore, I won't marry Wanwan to your son."

"Cheng, don't be embarrassed. My son is a little stupid, what other than this is not worthy of your daughter? Aunt Wang rolled her eyes, approached the woman and threatened: "Your family has run out of food, do you have the luck to pick up pheasants every day?" Wan Wan will starve to death with you sooner or later, it is better to marry into my family to enjoy happiness, big fish and big meat can't be said, at least you won't starve to death. ”

Cheng Qingwan rubbed her eyebrows, and just wanted to speak, she was interrupted by the person in front of her.

"Wanwan, you broke my family's hand, if I go to the yamen to sue you, you will go to prison." Aunt Wang saw that she couldn't move Cheng Hua'er, so she changed her goal.

She sat down, faced Cheng Qingwan, and grabbed a piece of chicken from the bowl and said while eating.

"As long as you marry into our family and stay for a while, I won't care about any of this."

Cheng Qingwan looked at her with a greasy mouth, and chuckled: "I am the one who wants to sue the yamen." ”

"Hey, you broke my son's hand, how did it turn out that you want to sue the yamen?" Aunt Wang shouted with meat in her mouth, and said vaguely in her waist.

"Have you forgotten what happened last night? I remember very well that Song Daqiang was one of the men who wanted to insult my aunt at that time. ”

The person in front of him was stunned, and his eyes were a little flustered: "No, ......"

"If I go to the Yamen, just because of my injuries and my mother's injuries, do you think your family will be able to escape?" Cheng Qingwan's eyes were fierce, and the words she spit out were even more chilly.

After all, Aunt Wang is a rural woman, with long hair and short knowledge, and a few words make her dizzy.

By the time she reacted, she had already walked out of Cheng's door.

Cheng Qingwan rubbed her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, but whenever Aunt Wang entered the yamen, she knew that she was scaring her. In a place like Yamen, as long as you take money and bribe, you can turn black into white.

"Wanwan, the village chief and the pavilion chief are old acquaintances, I can't say what I said just now, if you really tell the yamen, we may not win." When Aunt Wang reacts tomorrow, it is estimated that she will have to make a fuss. Cheng Hua'er frowned and said softly.

Cheng Qingwan nodded and responded.

The night was getting late, and the mother and daughter were lying in bed and not asleep.

It wasn't until it was almost dawn that Cheng Qingwan squinted for a while, and didn't get up until noon.

She sat down in her chair and yawned lazily, only to notice that the woman across from her was a little absent-minded.

"A-Niang, what's wrong with you, is Aunt Wang here in the morning?"

Cheng Hua'er shook her head: "Today, a senior official from the capital came to the village, and the village chief ordered everyone not to make trouble. ”

Cheng Qingwan responded, and then did not speak.

After eating, Cheng Qingwan wanted to take a hoe to another field to plant the seeds that had just been unlocked yesterday.

"Wanwan."

Before he walked out of the door, Cheng Hua'er's hurried voice came.

Cheng Qingwan turned around and looked at the woman standing at the door, her lips squirming.

After a while, he said: "Walk slowly on the road, don't fall." A-Niang will come to you after washing the dishes. ”

"Okay."

Cheng Qingwan responded, and she walked in one direction according to the memory of the original owner.

Not long after leaving, a group of people appeared in front of him, led by a young man dressed in green clothes, standing in the crowd with a cold expression, followed by three or four servants.

And beside him, one left and one right, followed by the flattering pavilion chief and the village chief.

Cheng Qingwan took two steps forward, and the sound of the lively villagers talking instantly came into her ears.

"This is the official from the capital, he looks so young."

"I heard from the people in the town that he accompanied the prince to study, I don't know why he angered the emperor and was demoted here."

"Being demoted is also a big official, look at the pavilion chief's courteous appearance."

Accompanying the prince to study? The prince reads with you?

Cheng Qingwan subconsciously looked over there, and it happened that she met the cold eyes of the big official.
