Aunt Su Fen lives near the old gate in the north of the Moon Bridge, some distance from the Gongde Bridge, riding a horse to ask for two teas, the foot is fast to walk for about two quarters of an hour, riding a horse in a town with a dense water network, not to mention a good experience, fortunately, the horse in the south is short, and the modern walking tool on the road with three shoulders is also excellent.

"Hall Master, why are you here? The proprietress of the pork stall at the old gate saw her riding a horse and hurriedly greeted her, and at the same time shouted to the shop: "Mother! ”

shouted twice, but there was no response in the shop, and the proprietress simply ran into the inner hall.

Soon the voice came from the backyard, still high-pitched and loud Hey, Tang Xiaoyu sighed and thought - she found that there were people around her, except for the Shangguan family, who spoke implicitly, the others, whether men or women, output a cover and roared.

She 'hey', got off the horse, the bluestone road had just been sprinkled with water, Tang Xiaoyu happened to step on the stagnant water when she landed, and her body slid and shook, and she was about to fall, if it weren't for someone's quick eyes, she would really be rude on the street.

"Hall Master, you're not in trouble, are you? The male duck, who was still in the stage of changing his voice, asked.

Tang Xiaoyu thanked him, and when he looked up, he found that it was a young man, with a square face and cicada eyebrows, wearing a gray short brown, a leather apron tied around his waist, and a half-fan pig on his shoulder, holding her with one hand, and the whole person was as steady as Mount Tai.

Tang Xiaoyu recognized the young man, who was Aunt Su Fen's grandson, and was fifteen years old this year: "Why don't you go to the school?"

"Master, the gentleman is sick. The little brother replied.

"Both are sick?"

The little brother hurriedly said: "No, Mr. Xian is sick, Mr. Chu went back to his hometown to pick up his wife and children and his younger brother's family, and he only came back today, and the school will start tomorrow." ”

So that's the case, Tang Xiaoyu thought that Mr. Xuetang was not good at work, although she was responsible for the money, she didn't care much about the private school, and in the past, she only paid more attention to the women's school, and when she met the little brother at home, she asked casually.

She laughed, "Then where are you going with the pigs on your back? Why don't you use a cart?" ”

"It's a few steps to the docks, and you don't need it. ”

"Hey, Shuwa, hurry up, people are going to sail. The proprietress ran back to the stall again, and after urging her son, she came over and invited Tang Xiaoyu into the house: "Hall master, come in." ”

"Immediately, the hall master, I am gone. The tree baby ran like the wind with the second senior brother.

Tang Xiaoyu tidied up her clothes and followed Aunt Su Fen's daughter-in-law into the inner hall, Aunt Su Fen's house is the layout of the outer shop and the inner house, the inner courtyard is rectangular, and there is a large family living in it, when she arrived at the main hall, she happened to have a photo with a pair of mother and daughter, and the girl who followed her behind saw Tang Xiaoyu, lowered her eyes shyly, and walked quickly past her.

Misunderstood by the girl, Tang Xiaoyu is used to it, she is wearing men's clothes today, with narrow sleeves and a shallow ochre robe, wearing a wide brocade belt tied with a hat; the clothes are the juvenile clothes worn by Xiaobai at the age of fifteen, if you don't look carefully, you will think that she is a decent teenager.

Wearing his old clothes is a poor habit left by the two of them in the mountains before, Xiaobai grows fast, and she picks up and wears old clothes. Later, Tang Xiaoyu was in charge of the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang men were the majority, sometimes the hairpin skirt was not very convenient, not that she minded showing women's clothes, in fact, it was someone else who had a pimple in her heart, this is not the world, no matter how to still talk about the defense of men and women, so she often wears men's clothes.

At that time, Xiaobai changed her old clothes, Tang Xiaoyu once thought that he was a 'virtuous helper', and she didn't think much about it when Xiangli took her clothes to change in the morning, until Xiaobai mentioned what Shangguan said, the face that was so jealous that his cheeks fell into his eyes, and Tang Xiaoyu suddenly understood the exclusivity hidden in his bones.

Wearing his old clothes has become like sharing a spoon and drinking a glass of water, representing the intimacy that others can't intervene.

After thinking about it, Tang Xiaoyu was introduced to the upper seat by the owner, as soon as she sat down, she suddenly came back to her senses, remembered the purpose of this trip, and quickly gathered her mind, and when she fixed her eyes again, Aunt Su Fen was pouring tea for her, and she was very reluctant to explain, why she couldn't go out to greet her: "The mother and daughter are countrymen, and there are only a few acres of thin fields at home, and they don't want to wronged their daughter, so they asked for a relationship to find me and find a reliable family in the town." ”

Tang Xiaoyu is used to being informal, she took the teacup with Douqing glaze, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can find you with the heart, and I am very concerned about my daughter's future." ”

"The hearts of parents in the world are like this, and the head of the hall has a good heart. Aunt Su Fen also sat down, she drank several sips of tea in a row, and she should have talked to the mother and daughter for a long time.

Tang Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to speak, pretending to sip coarse tea, and waited until Aunt Su Fen stopped drinking water before she put down the teacup: "I came to ask you something." ”

"Excuse me, master. ”

"Baili Jiyun's fiancée, Ji Yishi, the people around her, have you heard the news?" Tang Xiaoyu asked her, Yun Zhenlou is near Eucalyptus Changfu, Aunt Su Fen is a matchmaker all day long, and there are not a hundred but eighty girls who have married from Lulu Mansion to Changfu over the years, and most of them are married by Aunt Su Fen as a matchmaker.

Aunt Su Fen thought for a long time, and said hesitantly: "I haven't seen anyone with my own eyes, but a girl from my media mentioned one thing, saying that Ji Yishi once held a banquet for a fellow villager, and drank the flowing water banquet for three days and three nights. ”

That's all there is to it, hey, it's really inconvenient to block the news, Tang Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know the name?"

"I didn't hear clearly, it's called Sangsang, or something. Aunt Su Fen slapped herself and regretted, "Hall Master, this person is very important?"

"I don't know yet, that person should be called Shang Shang, the merchant's merchant, and suddenly came to the council hall last night, saying that she saw someone kidnapping Xiaobai. "Hmph, if Xiao Yi is not mistaken, when the merchant chased him to make trouble, he shouted in a hurry - if you are in the Eucalyptus Mansion, you will die.

Eucalyptus Changfu is a member of the Crossing Township Association, how can he have nothing to do with Ji Yishi, Ji Yishi is still the fiancée of Yun Chen's son, Wang Qian claims to be the master of Qing Yage, a famous person, how can a businessman not know him.

This person was half-truthful from the beginning, Tang Xiaoyu was not very relieved, she thought for a moment and then said: "Aunt Su Fen, Mingjian has a cousin named Mingyin, you can check this person and see if you can find it." ”

"Mingyin, hall master, this person, in fact, you don't need to look for it. When Aunt Su Fen heard this name, there was a moment of panic in her eyes, her hands were restless and she stirred her handkerchief, and she stopped talking for a long time, and then said in a hurry: "I didn't want to hide it from the hall master, but the one named Mingyin was a poor man I met on the way to get married, and his appearance was completely ruined when he was picked up." ”

"I thought she didn't have much to live, so I dragged her to a country doctor, but I didn't expect that when I went to see her half a year later, she survived, and then I learned that her name was Mingyin. Aunt Su Fen suddenly stood up and made a big salute and said, "Please punish the hall master." ”

Tang Xiaoyu listened silently, her index finger tapped on the table, and the main hall quieted down at once, she didn't speak Aunt Su Fen didn't dare to breathe, and after a while, it wasn't until Aunt Su Fen's hands began to tremble that Tang Xiaoyu spoke: "Where is she now?"

Aunt Su Fen breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to sit down, and said: "She is married, married to a widower, who is the younger brother of Mr. Chu in the private school. ”

"Why are you hiding it for her? Tang Xiaoyu's voice was very calm, but it was the kind of calm before the blizzard.

Aunt Su Fen shuddered, and she unconsciously touched her face: "She is a crippled woman, and she can't have children, I see that she is desperate, I wanted to give her a sum of silver, and let her find a place to stay by herself." ”

"Later, I didn't worry, Mingyin is a person from Yunyunlou, and knows a lot of things, it's better to let her go, it is better to keep her in his hands, it just so happens that Mr. Chu in the same village has a cousin who is a widower, and a two-year-old son, so I gave Mingyin a matchmaker to let her marry. ”

Tang Xiaoyu glanced at Aunt Su Fen coldly, so frightened that she fell to the ground, Aunt Su Fen swallowed her saliva, and continued stubbornly: "Later, there was an abnormality in Yunchen Tower, and I was afraid that Mingyin would have a problem, so I ran to Mr. Chu and said that instead of separating the family from the two places and no one to take care of anything happened, it is better to be frugal and let the whole family move here." ”

Tang Xiaoyu asked, "Why don't you want to marry Mingyin farther away." If you want to hide it, wouldn't it be better to hide it completely?"

"Mingyin is useful to the hall master, but Mingyin is also smart, she wants me to keep it secret, as long as she sees Cao Gang others coming, she will no longer reveal the secret of Yun Yanlou, it is not appropriate to marry too far, it is easy to handle it closer. Aunt Su Fen replied.

"That's why you introduced Mr. Chu to teach at the private school, because you were afraid that Yun Yanlou would collude with Mingyin, and you used Mr. Chu to call Mingyin to Shuitian Town. "This makes sense, Aunt Su Fen should have put a lot of news about Yun Yanlou from Mingyin's mouth, and said it from the beginning of the chance encounter with Wen Po, compared to Shi Kite'er's selfish betrayal, Aunt Su Fen is a white lie.

Tang Xiaoyu stepped forward to help the person up, she lifted the handle and filled a glass of water for Aunt Su Fen, and Aunt Su Fen looked at the teacup as if she had been pardoned.

Tang Xiaoyu said: "How is the relationship between Mingyin and his husband. ”

"I heard Mr. Chu and his daughter-in-law say that Mingyin and her husband have a very good relationship, and before she got married, she was laughed and bullied by the local ruffians in the village. Aunt Su Fen recalled: "Because of this matter in front of me, when I went to talk about the matchmaker, Mingyin was willing. ”

"The relationship is good, very good, her face was ruined by Yun Zhenlou?" Tang Xiaoyu asked.

"Yes, she ruined her face, broke her meridians and threw her into a ravine, was washed down by the water and picked up a life, she is now a waste. ”

Picking off the meridians, Baili E is really ruthless, and the flower slave is just a tool in his eyes, Tang Xiaoyu understood, she said: "Second Brother Chu has an errand after coming to Shuitian Town, where are you arranged?"

Aunt Su Fen was taken aback, and asked Tang Xiaoyu in surprise: "Hall Master, how do you know that I have found an errand for Second Brother Chu?" I asked the third master, and he said that Xinyi Hall lacks a leader, and Second Brother Chu's kung fu is not weak. ”

"If you don't arrange it, how can Mr. Chu make up his mind to bring the whole family here, I know your intentions, the matter of punishment, I will talk about it later, you don't make a noise when people come, and bring them to the council hall to see me early tomorrow morning, and say that my sister-in-law is injured, I want to find someone to call, and it is best to read and hyphenate ugly." "Tang Xiaoyu wants to dig out more secrets and more details from Mingyin, very good, this matter is well done.

"You look at the arrangement, you have to stabilize Mingyin, I still have something to go to the pomegranate flower. ”

Tang Xiaoyu got up to leave, and Aunt Su Fen hurriedly sent people outside the door.

The little white horse when she rode up, Tang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something, she instructed Aunt Su Fen: "Granny Gan has not been very peaceful recently, and there was chaos in the town yesterday, she wanted to fish in troubled waters and kidnap a girl from a foreign country." ”

"That old demon woman, she really didn't shed tears when she saw the coffin, if it weren't for Sun County's order to follow the law back then, how could she be allowed to live!" After hearing this, Aunt Su Fen gritted her teeth and said.

Tang Xiaoyu thought about it, the Qi family didn't dare to jump now, it was better to uproot the poisonous seedling of Xinglong Inn now, her mind was spinning, and she had a plan and said: "You go to find a girl with a kung fu foundation and a smart face, I will keep it useful." ”

"Yes. ”

After explaining the matter, she rode her horse away from the old gate, Xinglong Inn in the north of the town, Erqian Wharf got off the boat and walked up the vermilion lacquer wooden ladder, and went to the backyard of the inn.

From the south of the town to the north of the town to cross the merit bridge is the fastest, when Tang Xiaoyu rode a horse to appear in the south of the bridge, the bridge was bustling with people, she grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted, intending to walk over, at this time a man ran over to block the way, he was one of Zhao Shanhe's guards.

The man clenched his fists and said: "Hall master, the helmsman asked me to invite you back, the old lady of the Qi family came to the house with a woman to cry, and our old lady quarreled with them." ”

"I have something to do, you go back and say a word to the helmsman: the first snow night, the red muntjac. After hearing this, the man's eyes rolled and looked at her hesitantly, Tang Xiaoyu led the horse and said with a smile: "You just bring the words." ”

At the end, she added: "Not yet, go to the Pomegranate Inn to find me again." ”

"Yes, Master. The man answered, and then ran towards Wanjia quickly, and soon disappeared into the crowd of people, and there was no one in sight.
