Chapter 3 It's a good business
Li Qinlan wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, glanced at Guo Haifeng without saying anything, turned around and quickly followed her baby daughter into the house.
Looking at Steward Li who was far away, and then turned his head to look at his eldest daughter and prospective son-in-law, Guo Haifeng felt as if he had missed something.
But after thinking about it, he didn't know what he had missed, shook his head and turned around and went home.
Steward Li, who was hurrying slowly, turned the corner and saw that Xiao Yifeng was sitting on the ox cart looking at him, so he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and ran towards the ox cart.
took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Xiao Yifeng, panting and saying, "Master Xiao, Miss Guo, this is a congratulatory gift from the Lord and Mrs. to the two of you." ”
Xiao Yifeng raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it, and then handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao, "Lady, you keep these." ”
After that, he looked at Steward Li, who had already sat in the ox cart, and said, "Out of the city gate, Steward Li will go back to Qingyang Mansion by himself." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao was surprised for a moment, then took the things handed over by Xiao Yifeng, put them in his sleeve pocket without looking at them, and then his eyes wandered over the two of them.
She has a strong intuition that this newly baked husband is not an ordinary person, and the housekeeper of the prefect's family of Raushzi has a faint respect for her.
Although the appearance of this man surnamed Xiao is not outstanding, Guo Xiaoxiao smiled at him, and felt a trace of nothingness.
Especially when he whipped the scumbag with a whip, Guo Xiaoxiao smelled a hint of murder, she was sure that this man had killed people.
Soon out of the city gate of Lin County, without waiting for anyone to speak, Steward Li jumped out of the ox cart, walked to the carriage on the side, and then arched his hand towards them and walked away.
Xiao Yifeng, who was driving an ox cart, had been observing Guo Xiaoxiao with his peripheral vision, seeing that she had not asked or said anything, and her expression had not changed, he was a little unsure of the thoughts of this little daughter-in-law.
Staggering all the way, the two entered a village.
When the people in the village saw Xiao Yifeng leading a girl back, they hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "The boy of the Xiao family has brought the bride here." ”
"Ouch, this looks like a good girl, Xiao boy is blessed."
"Not really. I heard, this is our Qingyang Mansion Li Dabao's matchmaker..."
"But this Xiao family..."
"Ouch, our Lord Li is a good official..."
“……”
Listening to the words of the villagers, the two soon stopped at the gate of a courtyard.
Through the open courtyard gate, I saw four children standing in the courtyard, the eldest was estimated to be eleven or twelve years old, and the younger was four or five years old.
Seeing this scene, Guo Xiaoxiao's brain suddenly froze, and he turned his head to look at the man standing beside him: "Miss Ben, is this a happy mother?" ”
Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, Xiao Yifeng first looked at the four children in the yard, then raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and beckoned to the four children, "Come here." From now on, she is your mother, my wife. ”
Seeing Xiao Yifeng's serious face, the four children turned their heads to Guo Xiaoxiao and whispered "stepmother", and then turned around and ran back to the house.
They all knew that when this woman entered the door, their father was leaving.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Si was almost gone, their father wouldn't be in a hurry to find them a stepmother.
However, they heard that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and the stepmother will eat children...
This stepmother is young and beautiful, and I heard that she is still a young lady from an official family, will she really take care of the fourth child?
Will they leave them behind after their father leaves?
The youngest female doll looked left and right, and then walked to the door to look at Guo Xiaoxiao who walked into the yard.
Xindao: This mother is so beautiful, I like it so much, what should I do...
The two older children in the room looked at the sky, then got up and walked into the stove room.
One skillfully lights the fire, and the other stands by the stove and adds water to the pot.
Guo Xiaoxiao, who was led into the room by Xiao Yifeng, stared at him directly: "You want to leave?" ”
Hearing the sound like a yellow bird, Xiao Yifeng was slightly stunned, then squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, and secretly said in his heart: This person is really Guo Haifeng's daughter?
Not a spy?
Why did she know she was leaving?
Seeing that Xiao Yifeng was silent, Guo Xiaoxiao ignored his gaze, but continued to speak: "He Lishu." ”
Xiao Yifeng was stunned when he heard this, took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to her, and said in a sincere tone: "He Lishu, the only requirement is to treat these children well and protect them as much as possible." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at the man in front of him meaningfully, and said lazily: "I'm all gone, why do you want to protect them?" ”
Looking at the cold expression on Guo Xiaoxiao's face, the man was silent for a moment, and then spit out a sentence: "From today onwards, you are in charge of this family, I only hope that you will try to protect them as much as possible." ”
"Huh! I'm a weak woman who has no power to restrain chickens, how can I protect it? ”
Xiao Yifeng didn't respond, but took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao.
Guo Xiaoxiao took a look at it, and it turned out to be all silver tickets, but the denomination was not large, there were fifty taels and twenty taels.
A rough estimate is about five hundred taels.
He took the other two pieces of paper in Xiao Yifeng's hand, one was a book of harmony, and the other was a silver ticket of one hundred taels.
Six hundred taels.
This business seems to be pretty good.
So, Guo Xiaoxiao immediately issued an eviction order: "I'm tired, remember to close the door when you go out." After speaking, he directly lay on the bed and closed his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xiao Yifeng frowned slightly, then turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door by the way.
Sensing that the man was leaving, Guo Xiaoxiao opened his eyes and sighed long as he looked at the straw-covered roof...
Stove room.
As soon as Xiao Yifeng walked into the stove room, the four children fell on him.
Then a reluctant voice sounded: "Dad, are you leaving?" ”
Looking at the twelve-year-old Xiao Ziyang in front of him, Xiao Yifeng nodded, and said a little coldly: "Well, the military camp is urgent." Ziyang, you are the eldest brother, you must take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, and listen to your mother with your younger brothers and sisters. ”
"Ziqing Ziqing, Xiaosi's body is weak, you take care of it more. Your mother has just come to our house, remember to tell her who the people in the village are. ”
“……”
Listening to the advice, the eyes of the four brothers and sisters were red, especially the little four, with tears in his eyes, pulling his placket and looking at him pitifully.
Xiao Yifeng raised his rough hand and touched Xiao Si's head, then patted Ziyang Ziqing's shoulder, and then walked to the stove and began to roll out the dough...
I don't know if it's because I'm too tired, or because I've just woken up and my body is a little weak, Guo Xiaoxiao actually fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already night when I couldn't see my fingers.
The dark night is not an obstacle at all for Black Rose, who ranks second in the Temple of Death.
I got up and opened the door and walked out of the house, looked left and right, and found that there was still a faint fire in a room, so I walked over and asked softly, "Who is inside?" ”
Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's voice, a surprised voice immediately came from the house: "Stepmother, you are awake." If you're hungry, I'll serve you noodles. ”
Hearing that there was something to eat, Guo Xiaoxiao, who had not eaten a grain of rice since he woke up, immediately walked in.
He took the bowl with the noodles and looked at the boy in front of him, "You're the boss?" Have you eaten? ”
"Well, I'm Xiao Ziyang, twelve years old. We all ate, and Daddy is gone. ”
Hearing that the man was gone, Guo Xiaoxiao swallowed the noodles and raised his head and asked, "Does your father have any words?" ”
