Chapter 436: Into the City
Sun Qiang stopped the ox cart and smiled apologetically at the two: "I'm sorry, that's my buddy's house, something seems to have happened to his family, I have to go over and take a look." ”
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "It's okay, we're not in a hurry." ”
Not long after, Sun Qiang came back, and his expression was obviously not very good.
Shen Mingjiao politely cared: "Is something wrong?" ”
The ox cart set off again, Sun Qiang sat in Qianpeng and sighed: "Chunsheng's daughter-in-law left the child and disappeared?" ”
Usually starting with this kind of rhetoric doesn't seem to be a good thing, Shen Mingjiao asked tentatively: "How could a good person disappear?" ”
Sun Qiang has been running a business all year round, and he has also practiced the ability to observe words and feelings, and when he heard her tone, he knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's not what Mrs. thinks, Chunsheng's daughter-in-law...... Belch...... Won't run away with people, she'...... Not very sound of mind. ”
Bored on the road, Shen Mingjiao was also willing to listen to some gossip, she followed Sun Qiang's words and asked: "Then won't his husband go to find it?" ”
Sun Qiang sighed again and opened the conversation: "To say that Chunsheng is also the most pitiful person in this village, he was born at the age of five, because he likes to eat bayberry, and the second uncle Xu is Chunsheng's father who personally went up the mountain to pick it, but when he went down the mountain, he didn't step on the slippery branch and fell down the hill and hit the stone, and died on the spot."
This incident was just a coincidence, but the woman with the broken mouth privately said that Second Uncle Xu was killed by Chunsheng. However, the Xu family is the surname in the village, and Uncle Xu is Lizheng, so these rumors will be stopped after a while.
But later, when Chunsheng was thirteen years old, Aunt Xu accompanied Chunsheng into the city to test Xiucai, on the way, Aunt Xu was hit by a passing carriage, I was also present at the time, Aunt Xu patted the dirt on her body and stood up, saying that she was fine.
The owner of the carriage still had a conscience, and insisted on sending Aunt Xu into the hospital, and the doctor said that there was nothing wrong, so Chunsheng entered the examination room with confidence.
But when he came out of the examination room, Aunt Xu died inexplicably, because there was no one in the inn, and the inn was afraid of being notorious, so he reported to the official in a panic, and pretended to test that the cause of death was a ruptured spleen. ”
Shen Mingjiao continued: "This is normal, the more you don't feel the pain at the time of some violent impact injuries, the more serious it is." It is likely that it hurt the internal organs. ”
It's not the first time she's heard of something like this, but according to the level of the doctors here, I'm afraid it's difficult to diagnose.
Sun Qiang was stunned: "It's like this...... he clenched his fists angrily: "If I had known...... Forget it, I guess no one will believe it.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole village was spreading the word that Chunsheng Ke's father and mother, and later a wandering Taoist priest passed by and said that Chunsheng was destined to be the Tiansha Lone Star destiny of Xing Ke's six relatives, and he hoped to stay away from it as soon as possible.
We people here believe in these the most, after the Taoist priest left, the Xu family asked for Chunsheng to be separated from the clan, but several elders of the Xu family also want to face, and the bones of the second aunt Xu are not cold, if the Chunsheng is divided out in a hurry, the entire Xu family will be poked in the backbone.
This matter has been at a stalemate for a year or two, and the uncle of the Xu family brought back a crazy little girl, saying that she was looking for Chunsheng's daughter-in-law. ”
Speaking of this, he took a breath: "We have an unwritten rule here, children and grandchildren can only separate their families when they get married. Poor Chunsheng's good son, he wants to marry a ......" seemed to feel that he shouldn't say so, and he paused for a moment.
Shen Mingjiao only listened to it as a story, and didn't agree too much: "The Xu family's abacus is good, in this way, not to mention saving the money for Chunsheng to marry his daughter-in-law, he can also drive people away in a justifiable manner, and then occupy the property of the main house." ”
Sun Qiang nodded: "Madam is right, it stands to reason that Chunsheng, as the only son of the second house, should inherit all the land of Second Uncle Xu, but in the end, he only got a broken thatched house at the end of the village and three acres of dry land." ”
Shen Mingjiao only sighed two sentences, the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and there are too many similar injustices in this world.
"Then why is Chunsheng's daughter-in-law leaving this time?"
Sun Qiang explained: "It is said that Chunsheng went into the mountains to hunt a few days ago, and has not come back until now, Chunsheng's daughter-in-law is probably worried, and entrusted the child to the care of a neighbor, so she went into the mountain alone, and someone in the village has organized to go into the mountains to find it." ”
Shen Mingjiao was surprised: "Isn't he a scholar, how can he still hunt?" ”
Sun Qiang explained: "We can't hunt, we have a lot of mountains here, and most young adults will make some simple traps and go up the mountain every once in a while. Because the mountain road is difficult to walk or encounters poisonous insects and miasma, sometimes it often takes ten days and a half to come back. ”
After chatting all the way, it was almost noon, and finally arrived at the county seat.
Fortunately, although this county is not as prosperous as some big counties, it is much better than Shen Mingjiao imagined, at least the inn restaurant should have everything.
Feng Lisheng didn't speak, he carefully observed what he saw along the way, and noticed something unusual.
Compared with the poor and backward Xujia Village. The county seems to be a little too prosperous.
Sun Qiang came to the county this time, in addition to sending Feng Li Sheng and the others, he also had some business things to do, so he temporarily parted ways with the two.
Feng Lisheng had already asked in advance, it is really not a matter of saying that Huitong Qianzhuang has opened all over every state capital in Daxia, and even there is one in a remote small county such as Qingyun County, which is in the best location on the east street of the county seat.
The two of them have already planned, and after Feng Lisheng's injuries are completely healed, they will ride back to Wenshan City directly, and they can ask Sun Qiang to help lead the way when the time comes.
With the remnant jade of Feng Lisheng, the matter of entering Huitong Money Village and letting people send letters was done very smoothly.
Shen Mingjiao left happily with the newly withdrawn money, Feng Lisheng could see her smiling side face as soon as he lowered his head, and unconsciously, he couldn't help but look at it several times.
“…… Why are you so happy? ”
Shen Mingjiao pinched her bulging purse: "Because with this money, I don't have to sell jewelry!" ”
She had already planned it, and when she arrived in the county seat, she sold all the jewelry she could sell. Until Feng Lisheng took several silver tickets and a large bag of broken silver from the steward.
She slapped her forehead and reacted, yes, as long as there is this piece of residual jade and Feng Lisheng's face, they can directly withdraw the silver!
See her appearance as a wealth obsesser. Feng Lisheng unconsciously hooked his lower lip: "Don't worry, I will never let you sell jewelry again." ”
Shen Mingjiao covered her ears uncomfortably, raised her head and raised her eyebrows to look at him: "Yo, isn't it good?" I learned to talk to me so quickly, and I have improved so much more than before! ”
Feng Lisheng subconsciously turned his head and didn't dare to look at the beautiful eyes that always made him uneasy, and said with a cold face: "Now that the matter is done, let's go!" ”
Shen Mingjiao deliberately took a few steps behind him, stared at his pretended cold side face, and smiled slowly: "Ah! Husband, why are your ears red? Could it be that you are shy? ”
Feng Lisheng's footsteps almost staggered, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his ears, but then reacted, paused the back of his hand suddenly, and emphasized coldly: "No." ”
Shen Mingjiao continued to pester him with a smile, "No, there is no one, why are you so excited?" ”
