Chapter 107: Faint Move
The carriage was clattering, and because there was no lunch break, Geng Xingchen was a little sleepy, leaning on Bai Zhi's shoulder and falling asleep.
Although Geng Xingshuang also felt that her eyelids were a little heavy, Jinbao's words lifted her spirits.
"Girl, the village we just entered is called Xiaozao Village, and there will be a big Zao Village in a while, and the village where the Zhuangzi in the house is located is called Zaoshu Village, which was just now asked by the four girls who entered the yard and talked to the peasant aunt."
"By the way, there is also the matter of the fourth sister, I almost forgot!"
Geng Xingchen, who had already set up the chessboard with Zhou Gong, immediately opened his eyes and sat up straight because of Jinbao's words.
Jin Bao was stunned for a moment, "Seventh girl, is the slave too loud to wake you up?" ”
Geng Xingchen shook his head, "No, no, it's just that when I heard you say the fourth sister, my brain cleared up at once." ”
"Jinbao, you go on to say that the seventh sister was woken up by her own curiosity."
Geng Xingbing's matter, Geng Xingshuang still doesn't know very well, she has nothing to hide from Geng Xingchen, the two discussed, maybe they can come up with something.
"Yes, yes, what else did the fourth sister ask?" Geng Xingchen hurriedly agreed.
The fourth girl asked, why is the first family in Xiaozao Village uninhabited? Where are the people now? The aunt said, the family's surname is Tao, the head of the family is called Tao Rong, the family was originally in a good situation, but since three years ago, the old lady in the family was sick, spent a lot of money and was not cured, and finally went, the old lady just went not long ago, this Tao Niangzi was sick again, has been lingering on the sickbed, almost died, and then a doctor in the city passed by, acupuncture saved her life, but the doctor said, Tao Niangzi This disease not only needs to be maintained with medicine, but also needs to be acupuncture every few days, and often have to change the pulse prescription, The doctor in the nearby town couldn't do anything about Tao Niangzi's illness, and the Tao family had a child studying and also needed to find a school, so in the end, their family simply locked the door of the old house in the village and moved the family to Ningdu City. ”
"Moved to Ningdu? That's pretty good, right? It shows that their family still has some family background. ”
Geng Xingchen said, although she is Miss Bofu, she also knows that it is not easy to live in Ningdu.
Jin Bao said: "Not really, the Tao family originally had a field property, just because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sick one after another, and most of the land property was sold, the reason why they were able to go to Ningdu to live is not only because Tao Rong can endure hardships, I heard that they are now working as coolies in Ningdu City, carrying a big bag, and the most important thing is that they have a daughter, who once got the blue eyes of a chef in this village who returned to the village from Ningdu City to retire, and taught her the ability to cook vegetables with one hand, that Tao girl is now in charge of a restaurant in Ningdu City, and earns more silver than her father, and because of this, The family barely managed to live in Ningdu. ”
As soon as Jin Bao's words came out, Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen glanced at each other, and a name appeared in their minds at the same time.
After a while, Geng Xingchen said tentatively: "Why does this sound like Master Tao of Ruyi Building?" Sixth sister, do you think it's her? ”
Geng Xingshuang didn't answer Geng Xingchen immediately, but asked, "Did you say what the name of that Tao girl is?"
Jin Bao smiled: "I didn't say my full name, I just heard that aunt call her Xiaoyu."
The first time Jin Bao heard this conversation, she thought of Master Xiao Tao of Ruyi Building, but because she was not sure, she still repeated the words of Geng Xingbing and the peasant woman one by one.
"That must be Master Xiao Tao, the name, experience, and age are all matched, it turns out that Master Xiao Tao is from Xiao Zao Village."
Geng Xingchen didn't know what he was happy about, he was excited for a long time, and suddenly thought, "It's just that why did the sixth sister inquire about the Tao family?" ”
Jin Bao shook her head, "This fourth girl didn't say anything, she first greeted the aunt, and then just casually talked about the Tao family, the aunt was very enthusiastic, the four girls introduced it slightly, only said one word, and she made the Tao family's situation clear." ”
Geng Xingshuang recalled Tao Yuyu's appearance in his mind, although her skin was not very white and there was no extra makeup, she could still see that she had a beautiful appearance and beautiful facial features.
The second aunt Yao is ordinary, and the second uncle is good-looking, but Master Xiaoyu doesn't look like the second uncle, and there is nothing like the second aunt, let alone anyone in their uncle's mansion.
Of course, Geng Xingbing is not like the second uncle and second aunt, but there are many children who don't look like their parents, so this doesn't mean anything, when can I take a look at Master Xiaoyu's father and mother, if Geng Xingbing looks like the Tao couple, then ......
"Sixth sister, what are you thinking? So distracted? ”
Geng Xingshuang came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just think that the fourth sister has been a little weird recently."
Geng Xingchen agreed, "But what makes me feel most strange is that the fourth sister actually agreed to the family affair in the third room of the Yang family, Yang Fourth Master is not Yang Sixth Master, in the eyes of the fourth sister, she must have looked down on Yang Fourth Master before, not to mention that Yang Fourth Master will return to the Deng family in the future, just in terms of appearance and talent, Yang Fourth Master will not be able to enter the eyes of the fourth sister." ”
As he spoke, Geng Xingchen remembered Geng Cheng, who was still lying on the bed now, and it was likely that he would lie on the bed in the future, and said: "But now that the second uncle is so seriously injured, he will definitely not be able to be an official in the future, so it seems that Yang Siye may not be bad."
Geng Xingchen said very realistically, but it is not unreasonable.
But Geng Xingbing doesn't have the ability to predict the future, so this matter is still strangely tight.
In the other carriage, Geng Xingbing and Geng Xingshui sat opposite each other, the atmosphere between the two sisters was very strange, although they occasionally smiled and said a few words, but the maids of the two, Ping Shan and Shen Liu, felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was strange and depressing, so that the two of them were also cautious.
Shen Shan was not afraid of Geng Xingshui, not only was she not afraid, but she even sarcastically said a few words from time to time, but for some reason, after recognizing her relatives from Geng Xingshui, it was just more than two months, and she gradually lost the cowardice and caution she used to be a maid, and was replaced by a dignified and generous attitude.
When the Bofu group arrived at the foot of Daling Mountain, it was already the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, and the carriage went directly into the Zhuangzi of Bofu in Zaoshu Village.
Zhuangzi is not big, so many people came at once, and they are all masters, and the stewards and housekeepers in Zhuangzi are busy enough, and they finally settle down, and it is almost dinner time.
After dinner, because he was really tired on this day, Geng Xingshuang was still going to walk around, but he felt that his back was sore and his legs were weak.
Jinbao is full of energy, because of Zhanpei's protection of Geng Xingshuang, she is very relieved to go out for a walk, Geng Xingshuang is tired for a day, and fell asleep early, as for when Jinbao came back, she doesn't know at all.
On the morning of the second day, when he was woken up before dawn, Geng Xingshuang once again affirmed in his heart the practice of going to bed early last night.
Although Mrs. Bo didn't let them walk up the mountain, but when they were halfway up the mountain and the carriage could not go up again, she only asked her subordinates to hire three sliding poles, and herself, Yao's and Geng Xingbing each sat on one top......
