Chapter 114: The One Hundred and Fourteenth Day of Becoming an Old Lady
The old lady took the portrait and returned to Hu's house.
Hu Baozhu has been looking forward to it for a long time.
She's eighteen, and she didn't think anything before. As the little sisters in the boudoir got married one by one, Hu Baozhu was shocked to realize that she had become an old girl.
If you don't hurry up, those young talents will all marry wives, even if she is the sister of Xiucaigong, it will be difficult to meet a lover.
Shanshi sent the old lady back together, and he rode a tall horse, and he was extraordinary. The horse's hair is flying, and the people are also flying, just like a young talent returning to his hometown, which makes people fall in love at first sight.
Catching a glimpse of the long sword he was carrying on his shoulder, Hu Baozhu's mind that was carried away by beauty finally cleared up for a moment. This is not a harmless young man who kills a thief with a sword. Such a character must never be imagined.
What's more, now he is her younger brother.
Hu Baozhu stepped forward with a smile and called sweetly: "Mother." ”
Catching a glimpse of Shanshi, he nodded slightly.
Instead, Shanshi shouted generously: "Fifth sister." ”
Fifth sister?
Hu Baozhu: "......"
The newly budding girl's heart was slapped to death on the beach by a "fifth sister", and she completely broke off her thoughts of Shanshi.
"Pearl, follow me into the house."
The old lady couldn't wait to show Hu Baozhu today's harvest, except for the young master Fang that the Qin family said, the old lady also took a good look at the others, and handed the portrait to Hu Baozhu for her to see again.
These people are all talented, and they are all talented, especially Fang Gongzi. is good at learning and martial arts, isn't it exactly the person Hu Baozhu imagined?
With the old lady as a guarantor, Hu Baozhu agreed to meet Fang Gongzi first. There is always a discrepancy between the portrait and the reality, and if her eyes are closed, everyone will be happy.
The old lady was overjoyed, and thought that this time it must be done. If it doesn't work out, who knows how the gears of fate will turn, in case Hu Baozhu becomes someone else's concubine again, she won't have time to cry.
There were a few shouts outside, which seemed to be the sound of kindness. The old lady was worried that he was in trouble, so she hurried out to see. As soon as the door opened, Zhang Yi appeared in the old lady's courtyard.
At that time, he was prostrate on the ground, and he was pointed at Shanshi with a long sword. Half-bowed head, his whole face flushed.
"Zhang Yi?"
Hu Baozhu was surprised by Zhang Yi's appearance, and the scene in front of him was even more strange.
What happened?
Shanshi explained that Zhang Yi climbed the wall to eavesdrop, and he was worried that he would be a wrongdoer, so he knocked him down. Zhang Yi's body was weak, he couldn't get up after being beaten, the whole person was weak and weak, and he looked pitiful.
Hu Baozhu stepped forward to help him, flicked the dust on Zhang Yi's clothes, and told Shanshi that Zhang Yi was a neighbor of the Hu family and not a wrongdoer.
"Then why did he climb the wall?"
Hu Baozhu couldn't explain Shanshi's question, and the old lady also had doubts.
Looking at the posture of Hu Baozhu and Shanshi standing together, the old lady still saw Hu Baozhu maintaining people like this.
She stood in front of Zhang Yi like an old hen, even if she couldn't explain the problem, she still believed in Zhang Yi's character.
The old lady went to Zhang's house several times, but never saw Zhang Yi once. Listening to Zhang Ai, Zhang Yi's weakness is in the womb of the mother, and he has finally improved a little bit after careful care over the years, but he can't easily get angry. If you are not careful, your body will go wrong.
According to the relationship between the two families, the old lady should not suspect Zhang Yi. But Hu Baozhu's reaction was a little strange, and the old lady waited for Zhang Yi's answer quietly.
Why did he climb the wall of the Hu family?
"I, I ......"
Zhang Yi, who was stared at by everyone, didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, and his face was not decent. He stumbled, dodged, tried to get by.
Hu Baozhu couldn't stand it anymore, if the old lady didn't let go, she would definitely not be persecuted.
Even so, she carefully helped Zhang Yi to sit in the house, and asked him to think slowly, not to worry.
The old lady was even more interested in this, looking at Zhang Yi's blushing face, and then looking at Hu Baozhu's soft-spoken appearance, an idea came to her spontaneously.
"Zhang Yi, if you don't tell me a reason, go back."
The old lady didn't want to be too persecuted, but before Zhang Yi could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the old lady say, "I'll ask your mother another day." ”
Zhang Yi: "......"
If he dared to let his mother know about this, he wouldn't have to climb the wall of the Hu family secretly.
Seeing that he couldn't hide from pretending to be weak, Zhang Yi avoided Hu Baozhu's support, moved to the side, and threw his hand at the old lady.
"Auntie, I heard that you are going to choose a son-in-law for Baozhu, I don't worry, so it will be like this."
This explains why he climbed the wall.
Zhang Yi is handsome, because he is sick and weak all the year round, he has the weakness of a literati, polite and elegant.
The old lady was even more interested, looking at the atmosphere between him and Hu Baozhu, and asked directly:
"I choose a son-in-law for Baozhu, what does it have to do with you?"
The old lady's interested gaze made Zhang Yi embarrassed, and then looked at Hu Baozhu with a curious look that had nothing to do with herself, while Shanshi on the side was still eyeing her.
Zhang Yi knew that he had to give a complete reason to avoid the suspicion of Shanshi.
Hu Baozhu's curious gaze hid thousands of stars, and when it was close, Zhang Yi suddenly felt that he was very uncomfortable with her gaze. He tried to dodge, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by her, so he straightened up, word by word, and said firmly:
"I, the Pearl of Love."
Hu Baozhu: "......"
Hu Baozhu, who was still watching the excitement, suddenly became lively itself, his eyes instantly widened, staring at Zhang Yi incredulously.
What's the situation, she treats him as a friend who grew up together, and he actually covets her!
Zhang Yi didn't dare to look at Hu Baozhu's eyes, he was half-hung his head, but his chest was straight. Although he climbed the wall, his words and deeds are quite gentlemanly.
His rhetoric was the same as the old lady's thoughts, she recognized Zhang Ai's character and also had a good impression of Zhang Ai's son.
I heard that Zhang Yi is good at learning and can always get the first place in the academy, but due to physical reasons, he can't participate in the imperial examination, which is a big pity. The old lady didn't think that there was something wrong with him, and although it was white and tender, it was not a tofu block, and it would break when he touched it. Most likely a psychological problem.
In modern times, there are many people who have no problem studying on weekdays, but they fail the exam as soon as they arrive. The old lady thought that she could do more ideological work for him in the future, and it was not impossible to show off talent in the exam.
The most important thing is that Hu Baozhu is willing to be close to him.
The old lady's eyes looked at the two of them, and she saw that Zhang Yi was becoming more and more calm, and Hu Baozhu was becoming more and more ashamed.
"I don't care!" She put down her words and hurried back into the house.
Oops, I'm ashamed!
The people in the village are reserved, Hu Baozhu is so big, many people praise her for her good looks, and also express her closeness. But this is the only case of someone who pleases her face to face.
Shyness was worse than annoyance, she glared at Zhang Yi fiercely, her round eyes were not lethal, but more beautiful.
After returning to the house, she pounded the pillow vigorously and used the pillow as Zhang Yi to vent.
The muttering in his mouth was all bad words against Zhang Yi.
When she calmed down and walked out of the door, she wanted to ask Zhang Yi clearly, but found that Zhang Yi was gone.
