When He Dalang came in, he saw the luggage wrapped in oilcloth and smelled the pungent smell of meat.

At home, his mother searched for it, he didn't buy much braised chicken, and the dishes he prepared were not enough, and the appetite of those two was too good, and he really didn't dare to eat more.

Now that I happened to meet them for dinner, I would definitely invite myself.

It's a pity that Xiao Wei saw him come in, so he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.

The future mother-in-law, who was originally smiling when she saw him, also looked at him with a complicated expression.

He pondered in his heart that it must be his mother's decision to let Xiao Wei enter the door as soon as possible, which made his mother-in-law dislike.

He had never thought of another possibility, after all, how could a boiled duck fly away?

On the way, they also have to rely on their own family, so they can only want to be Xiao Fu low and say a few good words at this moment.

He clasped his fists and saluted, but was interrupted by Xiao Youfu before he could speak: "We don't go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, our aunt is in the capital, we are going to go to the capital, and we are reluctant to stay." ”

After speaking, he handed him the purse and silver hairpin that he had prepared earlier: "Inside is the eight taels of silver and silver hairpins hired by the subordinates, and in the future, men and women will marry, and they have nothing to do with each other." ”

It's also a shame that they don't pay as much attention to the countryside as in the town, and they didn't prepare a marriage book when they were hired, saying that they were waiting for their relatives to go to the yamen to get a marriage book, and now it's easy to regret the marriage.

According to Xiao Youfu's original intention, he didn't want to return the dowry, and he wouldn't meet again in the future anyway.

It's a pity that his daughter-in-law insisted on paying it back, and he didn't want to show his despicable thoughts in front of her, so he had to agree.

He Dalang was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, it's not peaceful outside, it's easier for you to go with us?" ”

He didn't hide it either: "My little uncle is now a hundred households, you go with us, and you can have a good place to settle down." ”

"And the two who came to pick us up are also strong in martial arts..."

"Alright, you don't have to say more." Xiao Youfu is worried that if he listens to it again, he will be unable to help but sell his daughter for glory: "We want to go to the capital with people, but we are reluctant to see our daughter in the future, so we will rush at your mother's attitude of liking people, and I will never let her go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang with you." ”

After speaking, he glared at him and said angrily: "Don't leave yet!" ”

He Dalang couldn't believe that this almost cooked duck could fly away, and he looked unwilling: "I'll be good to Wei'er!" Uncle, will you let her go with me? ”

Xiao Dalang gave his younger brother a look, and the brothers took him out one by one, and Xiao Dalang said to him sneakily: "Brother He, I overheard that the eldest sister was going to give the eldest sister to the king as a concubine, and the Wang family took care of us to go to the capital, and also sent a mule cart to our family?" ”

He Dalang didn't suspect that he would lie to himself, he had also heard that Master Wang was a person from the capital, and then he thought that the Xiao family couldn't afford a mule cart, so he could only leave with a blue face.

Even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to go against the king.

This is, of course, false.

It was Xiao Youfu who was afraid that the He family would not agree, and he was afraid that the He family would rob him, so he taught his eldest nephew to say this just in case.

Anyway, the family is leaving, and the He family is leaving, so there is no need to worry about the daughter's reputation.

After He Dalang left, Xiao Youfu put on a hat and beckoned his eldest nephew to go out with him: "You guys are waiting for news at home." ”

They had already gone to the east to see before, but now the entrance to the town was guarded by officials, and it was indeed forbidden to enter or leave.

Xiao Youfu had no choice but to stare at the He family to see how they went and where they went.

It was already dark outside, and it was drizzling, so they could only walk by the candlelight of someone else's house.

Xiao Youfu was afraid of the two guards of the He family, so he didn't dare to get too close, and hid at the door of the house diagonally opposite to stare at them.

Xiao Dalang was panicked when he came back from the academy before, but now that the uncle had an idea, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle, are we really going to the capital?" ”

Xiao Youfu glared at him with disgust: "What are you talking about, the capital is so far away, it's not enough for us to entangle." ”

He thought that there would be more envoys to call his eldest nephew in the future, so he patiently instructed him: "Although we are not well-informed, someone from the He family came to pick up from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which means that the situation over there is better than ours..."

And he suspected that Jiang and Zhejiang had long known that Yuzhang's side would be in chaos, otherwise how could the daughter of the He family send someone back in such a timely manner?

About half an hour later, two mule carts came to the door of He's house, and the gate of He's house quickly opened, and a mule cart came out inside.

The three mule carts went east one after the other.

It was already dark, the mule cart could not go fast, and there were two dead wind lamps hanging in front of the car fluttering in the dark rainy night, which was even more gloomy, it was like the door of hell was opened, and the ghosts traveled.

However, it is also convenient for Xiao Youfu and them to keep up.

When they saw the east gate from a distance, they found that there were not only the mule carts of the He family, but also a dozen or so horse-drawn carts, and the mule carts were waiting there.

He immediately sent Xiao Dalang back to call his family over, and he also lowered his hat and stepped forward to the front to inquire about the news.

Every mule cart has an air lamp in front of it, so you can't lose sight of your fingers.

He also found that He Dalang and the two hardcover men each drove a mule cart.

There were also two carriages, guarded by several guards on horseback.

After about a cup of tea, two more carriages came and went to the front.

The guards of the gate immediately removed the stakes that blocked the passage.

When the carriage in front of him had gone out, the carriage behind him followed, and the one who drove the mule cart behind him gave the official in front of him a piece of ingots and two pieces of silver, and then he was allowed to go.

Seeing this, Xiao Youfu also counted in his heart.

He hurried to the back, and happened to see his younger brother coming slowly in a mule cart.

"If you have a precious price, you have to pay two taels of silver before you can go out." He was not going to give out this money, after speaking, he walked to the back and saw his father, mother and daughter, Liu and the youngest daughter all sitting in the mule cart, Xiao Wei and Xiao Lian were wearing a coat and a hat, but they couldn't see the men and women.

He was relieved, still walking behind his two daughters, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid!" Wait a minute, you take turns going in and sitting for a while. ”

When it was their turn and they paid two taels of silver to go out, Xiao Youfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and told his younger brother to still follow the team in front of him.

Anyway, they didn't know the way, so they had to follow the others first.

Fortunately, at night, the mule cart couldn't go fast, and Xiao Wei and the others could keep up with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Liu felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to come down and let their sisters go up and squeeze and walk by themselves.

Wu took the opportunity to stuff his youngest son into his mother-in-law's arms and prayed in a low voice: "Mother, can you hold the junior for a while?" ”

Mrs. Xiao did not refuse, she already loved her little grandson.

More than an hour later, Xiao Youfu replaced his younger brother to drive the mule cart.

He calculated in his heart that he would be able to walk thirty or forty miles at most tonight, and he would inevitably be discovered by the He family, and it would be safer for him to stop early tomorrow morning.
