Chapter Forty-Eight: The inn is idle, and the uncle and nephew meet again
A month later, in Lin'an City, the land south of the Yangtze River, the deceased Xiao Mo wore a hat with green yarn around him and sat in an inn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Eh, have you heard? Master Zhang is getting married tomorrow, and I heard that the woman is the daughter of Master Ming's family!"
"Really, but isn't Master Zhang the same age as Master Ming? Why do you want to marry the daughter of Master Ming?" someone asked in disbelief.
"Hey, how can I lie to you about this kind of thing, as for why this is happening, I heard that the Ming family is convinced of the way of fortune telling, and the Ming family asked someone to tell a fortune on the occasion of Miss Ming's birth, and the result is that the hexagram shows that Miss Ming cannot marry someone who is not surnamed Zhang in the future! Otherwise, the family will inevitably suffer a tragedy. The man who spoke first explained.
"I see, it's just that Master Zhang is now old, and although he is still young, there is a difference of more than twenty years between his actual age and Miss Ming! Why does Master Ming want his daughter to marry Master Zhang, but not Miss Ming to marry me? The person who asked the question earlier said with regret.
"You, come on, who is Master Ming? You can't use up all the property in your family, so of course such a famous family has to find a son-in-law of the same status as Master Zhang!"
"Didn't you hear that Master Zhang recently had an extra son about twenty years old? Miss Ming is exactly the same age as her, why didn't Master Ming marry his daughter to that Zhang Gongzi?" someone asked puzzled.
"Eh, Brother Ren, you don't know, it must be that Master Zhang is greedy for women, and seeing that Master Ming's daughter is as beautiful as a flower, he is reluctant to let her marry his son!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. But after laughing, the person who spoke first explained again, and only listened to him: "No, no, no! I heard that Master Zhang used to be a lay disciple of Shaolin when he was young, although he was not an official monk with a shaved head, but he was not so lustful. ā
"And why?" the teasing man asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Qian, you can tell me the reason, and see what kind of reason can make that old man pull down his face and marry a little daughter-in-law who is at least twenty years younger than himself. The people on the side asked, echoing
"The reason for this is because of Mr. and Mrs. Ming. When Master Ming asked someone to tell the fortune, it was inevitable that disaster would come in the future, so he thought of his friend Master Zhang. The old man and his wife, who were eager to solve this ominous prediction, came to the door, told the whole story to Master Zhang, and asked Master Zhang to solve his misfortune.
At that time, Mr. Zhang had lost his wife for a long time, and the two parties decided on this marriage contract after discussion. As for Master Zhang's son, Brother Fang Cai also said that it was only recently "more", and now that the marriage contract is established, how can he easily repent?"
"Yes, marriage is the most important thing in life, and it is natural that you can't repent easily, but it's a pity that Zhang Gongzi missed a good girl!" someone on the side felt sorry for that Zhang Gongzi.
"I think it's the poor girl Ming, who is in the prime of her life, but she wants to marry someone who is old enough to be her father, alas! The day of widowhood is just around the corner!" The other person had a different opinion, and he was more willing to pity the injustice of the Ming girl.
"Go, go, go! What is just around the corner, if you can't speak, don't talk nonsense. ā
......
These are just idle gossip, and the dead Xiao Mo took a sip of the wine glass, and then got up to check out and left the inn. He wore a hat just to hide his whereabouts, so as not to let the ears and eyes of the Axe Gang spread the news of his arrival to Xiao Bao's ears, and he wanted to go to Xiao Mansion in person to find Xiao Bao to compete for the winner.
Walking on the streets of Lin'an City, the dead Xiao Mo was not in his heart, it was not his intention to come to Lin'an and fight Xiao Bao, if it wasn't for Xiao Bao's sneak attack on him at night, he would not want to face Xiao Bao's sword. In this world, there are not many relatives in him, his father and mother have left this world through the Void Yongdao, and the senior sister, sister and Erniang don't know whether they are alive or dead, and he can still call him a relative now, only this uncle Xiao Bao, and the second senior sister Wanyan.
Walking and walking, Xiao Fu appeared in front of the dead Xiao Mo, he took off the hat on his head, revealed his face and came to the gate, the two axe gangs guarding the door wanted to stop him, and returned to his post after seeing his appearance.
Ignoring the two of them, Xiao Mo walked towards the mansion by himself. As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he saw Xiao Bao's wife Jiaojiao and son Xiao Sifan playing in the courtyard. Sensing that someone was coming in, Jiaojiao turned her head to look, and when she saw that the person who came was the dead Xiao Mo, she looked happy, smiled and said to the dead Xiao Mo at the same time:
"Oops, it turns out that Xiao Mo is back!"
"Where's Xiao Bao?!" Dead Xiao Mo was not surprised by her smiling face at all, but just asked coldly.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Mo, how can you call you Uncle Xiao like that! I have also heard about the misunderstanding between you and him, you are not young, some things have passed, why bother? Be obedient, don't blame you Uncle Xiao, although he missed and injured you at the beginning, but you were the first to do it, and you can't blame you Uncle Xiao!" Jiaojiao saw that his expression was cold, so she persuaded him.
Dead Xiaomo didn't want to listen to her nonsense, he saw that Jiaojiao didn't want to say where Xiao Bao was, so he directly pushed out his hand, lined up Jiaojiao who was blocking in front of him, and then walked towards Xiao Bao's bedroom that he knew.
"Eh, you wait, you wait! I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Jiaojiao saw that he didn't listen to her words and left, so she followed closely behind Xiao Mo and shouted.
Dead Xiaomo turned a deaf ear to her words, and came all the way to the room where Xiao Bao lived, it was a coincidence, Xiao Bao was really in the room, and there was also Chen Xiurong in the second room. It's just that to the surprise of Xiao Xiaomo, Xiao Bao was lying on the bed sickly at the moment, while Chen Xiurong was holding a medicine bowl and holding a soup spoon to feed Xiao Bao medicine for a while.
The pungent smell of medicine rushed into the nostrils of Xiao Mo, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, such a scene made him a little unexpected.
And Xiao Bao and Chen Xiurong both noticed that someone was coming in, and they both looked at the door, and when they saw that it was the dead Xiao Mo, Chen Xiurong's action of feeding the medicine in her hand stopped, and Xiao Bao's pale face showed a smile.
"Little Mo ......" He struggled to get up, but as soon as he moved, the injuries in his body were affected, and he grinned in pain.
"Be careful!" Chen Xiurong beside him hurriedly freed up his hand to help, and the concern in his heart overflowed on his face.
