Chapter 1106 Fanwai (8)
The more Mrs. Lin heard it, the more she felt that something was wrong. These conditions coincided with the little lady next door. It couldn't be a coincidence.
She tentatively asked about the first day of the junior high school, but did not hear his answer, which instead confirmed her guess.
"You really like that little lady?"
"Mom, I'll help you sit down, you rest for a while, and I'll fetch water."
"Wait a minute..." Mrs. Lin called out to Chuyi, but when she heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, she knew that he had left embarrassedly. "This child..."
However, knowing that he has someone he likes, it's easy to handle.All I need to know is whether the little lady has any plans to remarry. If not, the child may be wronged.
After getting along for so long, she didn't say that she knew him very well, but also knew some of his temper.For example, his temper is a bit stubborn, as long as he looks for it, even eight horses will not be able to pull it back.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Ding Xiang saw Aunt Lin appearing at the door of their house with a cane, and hurried to support her.
"I want to ask Miss to help you." Mrs. Lin said, "My clothes are torn, you know, I am a blind old woman who can't do needlework, so I can only ask Miss to help you.",
"Ma'am, don't say that, we are neighbors, we should help each other." Ding Xiang helped Aunt Lin into the yard. "I'll help you sit down for a while."
Aunt Lin listened attentively, but did not hear anyone else's voice, and asked, "Where are the other two ladies in your family?"
"Our young lady went out for a walk. Bai Zhi said that there was no food at home, so she went out to pick vegetables." Ding Xiang helped Mrs. Lin sit down, took out the sewing basket inside, and sewed for Mrs. Lin. "Ma'am, it's so hot, don't come out and walk around. In the future, if there is such a thing, just call it in the yard next to it, and we will come when we are at home."
"You are really kind-hearted little ladies. Over the years, even the people in the village have rarely talked to the old woman, worrying that the old woman's bad luck will affect their luck. But I don't blame them, who made my life miserable?" Aunt Lin Said, "Fortunately, God is merciful, allowing me to meet the first day of junior high school. By the way, girl, where are the children of your lady? I heard you mentioned that you have two children before, and now they are in their father's house, and someone is taking care of them. I just thought about it." The children are still young, so I'm afraid they can't live without their mother. How can your young lady trust them to take care of her parents-in-law? Doesn't she want children? "
"How can you not think about it? They are the flesh and blood of our young lady and uncle. The young lady hurts them like something. But the young master and the young lady have grown up and are sensible. They often write letters to the young lady. The young lady just returned wrote a letter, and was thinking of going to the city to deliver it to the messenger."
"Although I can't see it, I also heard that your lady looks so beautiful. Is this the word? I passed the storytelling shop before, and the storyteller there said so."
"Yes." Ding Xiang laughed.
This old lady is really interesting.
Aunt Lin rubbed her hands and said embarrassedly: "Have you ever thought about finding another man? She is so young and looks like a flower. If she has this idea, I will arrange it for her immediately."
"This..." Ding Xiang finally understood. It turns out that sewing clothes is a fake, and asking for news is the truth.However, does the old lady want to inquire about it herself, or is it for the first year of junior high school?
It should be my own idea.If it was the first day of junior high school, he would definitely not let the old lady take this trip.
"Mother, how can we slaves inquire about our master's affairs casually?" Ding Xiang kicked the ball out. "Okay, it's finished sewing, auntie come and feel it."
Aunt Lin touched the stitches and said, "What a clever hand!"
"you flatter me."
"Did you say you're close?" Aunt Lin said, "What do you think of my son?"
Ding Xiang was tidying up her sewing basket, and when she heard Mrs. Lin's words, she immediately shivered.
First grade?Uncle?God, old lady, don't talk nonsense, she wants to live a few more years, okay?
"Old lady, stop talking." Ding Xiang said, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
Aunt Lin was a little disappointed.
She found out nothing.
When I asked about Ding Xiang just now, I just casually said that since Chu was interested in Mrs. Lu, it was better to start with Mrs. Lu.
When I came back on the first day of the new year, I found the old lady was full of sorrow.
He packed up his things and put the water in the old lady's hands.
"I don't drink water." Aunt Lin said, "Mrs. Lu next door will go to the city to deliver a letter to her child. It would be inappropriate for such a delicate person to ride a bullock cart with others. You should find a way to deliver her. "
"I sent her into the city hastily, which will hinder her reputation."
"She still has two girls, and she doesn't need you to be alone, so what is there to worry about? I don't believe that people in the village are so talkative and gossip about others regardless of reason."
next door yard.Ding Xiang talked about Lu Zhiyun going to the city the next day.Bai Zhi accosted at the side: "I've already found a carriage, and I'll pick us up tomorrow morning to take us into the city."
"Where's the carriage from?"
"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, but the yard is too small, and it's not convenient to raise horses." Ding Xiang said.
Raising a horse is not just about feeding it enough to drink, it also needs to be clean. If it is not cleaned well, the whole yard will smell of horse manure, and the few women present can't bear such sloppiness.
Therefore, Bai Zhi rented a carriage, and only needed to pick them up when they needed it, and not worry about it when they were not in use.
The next morning, there was a loud noise from outside.
Bai Zhi made breakfast and was about to eat it. He heard the voice and said, "Isn't it too early? I told the groom the time, so it shouldn't be so early."
"I'll go take a look." Ding Xiang said.
Not long after, Lilac came in.
She has a weird expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Bai Zhi asked.
Ding Xiang pointed to the gate of the courtyard: "It's not the coachman, it's the first day of junior high school outside, and he's driving an ox cart."
"Is he going into the city too?" Bai Zhi said, "Then you ask him to return the ox cart and follow our carriage into the city later."
"No, he is driving an ox cart to pick up Miss." Ding Xiang burst out laughing. "He also said that the way into the city is a bit far. The young lady is delicate and cannot walk that far. It is better to take a bullock cart."
Lu Zhiyun looked outside, and said, "I probably haven't had breakfast so early, please invite him in for dinner before leaving."
"What about the carriage?"
"Let's tell the coachman later, just say that I don't need it today, and I will pay the money."
Ding Xiang and Bai Zhi looked at each other in blank dismay.
The two of them were not at all surprised that Lu Zhiyun would make such a decision.After all, she stayed here for my uncle, and it's rare for my uncle to take the initiative to approach her now, so she won't push him away no matter what.
On the first day of the new year, the ox cart was parked outside.
The sky is still dark, only the dim moonlight is still open.By the moonlight, the figure of the first day of junior high school is looming.
Lu Zhiyun opened the door and said, "Come in and have breakfast!"
Chuyi said, "No need, I've already eaten."
"How do you eat so early?" Lu Zhiyun said, "Are you worried that the food we cook doesn't suit your taste?"
"No." Hearing what she said on the first day of the junior high school, he got off the bullock cart, tied the rope to the tree stump next to him, and followed Lu Zhiyun into the yard. "That's disturbing."
Only then did Lu Zhiyun say with satisfaction: "That's right. I'm very grateful that you take care of our weak girls and are willing to take us along the way. However, if you don't accept our kindness, then we can't accept yours either. Good intentions. Originally, the folks in the village are you who come and go with each other. If you only come but don’t allow me to go, then it’s meaningless. We don’t want to take advantage of you often.”
Breakfast is simple steamed buns and porridge.Clove is good at making pickles, which comes in handy at this time.So, the four of them gathered around the table and ate a whole breakfast under the lighting of enough candles.
"By the way, Mr. First Grade, I have something to do later, so I can't go with Miss." Ding Xiang said, kicking Bai Zhi under the table.
Bai Zhi came to her senses and echoed, "Yes, I have something to do too."
Lu Zhiyun said: "They all have something to do, and I have to go to the city again. If I ask you to accompany me, will that be too troublesome?"
"No." Chuyi said, "As long as you don't dislike it."
"Why would I dislike it?" Lu Zhiyun gave him a piece of kimchi, "You like spicy food, eat more. The kimchi made by Ding Xiang has become more and more fragrant recently, and it's just right to go with this steamed bun."
"How do you know I like spicy food?" Chuyi looked up at her.
"Listen to Mrs. Lin."
After breakfast, Lu Zhiyun got into the bullock cart driven by the first day of junior high school.
The cow was a little old, and his spirit was not very good, and his movements were very slow.
Bai Zhi and Ding Xiang watched Niu Er not take a few steps for a long time, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Ding Xiang, when the coachman comes, let him follow the young lady's journey. I'm worried that the ox cart will not be able to go to the city due to problems."
"Don't worry, my uncle is here!"
"You said my uncle has lost his memory, why does he look so stupid?" Bai Zhi said, "How could he be so humble before? Now it feels like he doesn't dare to look at Miss more."
"Because of disfigurement!" Ding Xiang said, "If you were him, and you had a person you liked for many years, but suddenly one day you became ugly, would you still want to be seen by that person?"
Bai Zhi thought for a while, then shook her head.
In no mood.
She hopes to find a place where no one knows herself, and she doesn't want to show her face in front of the person she likes.She wants to maintain the last dignity and maintain her self-esteem.
"Uncle also thinks the same way. Even if he loses his memory, he still instinctively protects his fragile heart from harm and blows."
Its daybreak.Lu Zhiyun sat on the bullock cart, watching Chu Yi drive the bullock cart with a whip in his hand.The cow didn't move at all, just ate the grass next to it.
There are also bullock carts in the village.The ox cart in the village belonged to the village head's family. At this time, the village head's eldest son drove up the ox cart, and there were seven or eight villagers sitting on it.When the villagers saw Chuyi and Lu Zhiyun alone in the bullock cart, they all showed gossipy expressions.
"On the first day of the new year, what's wrong with your ox cart?" the eldest son of the village chief asked.
"I don't know, it won't go away." Chuyi said lightly, "Is there any way?"
"My family is a prime-aged ox, which is a good age for working. There is no such situation. Why don't you tie the ox cart there, go to the city first, and bring it back when you come back."
"No need." Lu Zhiyun said, "We have a solution."
The people in the village were not in a hurry to leave, and wanted to see what they could do.
Lu Zhiyun picked up a branch, pulled out the grass next to it, tied the grass together, tied it with a rope, and entangled with the branch.She was holding a branch, and the grass that the cow liked to eat was hanging on the branch. In order to eat the grass, it had to keep walking forward.So, Niu'er, who was still slow just now, started running wildly.
"Slow down..." Chuyi hugged Lu Zhiyun to prevent her from falling.
Lu Zhiyun stabilized his figure, lifted the branch up, and Niu'er slowed down.
"It was too dangerous just now." Chu Yi said, "If that cow goes crazy, you will be thrown out."
"No." Lu Zhiyun said, "First of all, the side is full of soft soil, which means that even if you fall, it won't be serious, at least you won't lose an arm or break a leg. Secondly, you are next to me, and you won't just watch me fall .”
On the first day of the junior high school, the corners of his mouth rose: "Yes."
"Um what?"
"I won't let you fall." Chuyi said.
If it is really impossible to guard against, he will jump off first to be her mat, so as not to hurt her.
The people in the village refused to admit defeat when they saw their ox cart running far away.So, the village head's cattle kept chasing them.After chasing and chasing like this, we arrived at the gate of the city.
Lu Zhiyun fed the grass to the cows, and then lined up into the city like everyone else.
"I heard that a living Bodhisattva came to the city."
"What living Bodhisattva?"
"Do you know the tofu beauty in the east of the city? In order to save enough money to buy medicine for her husband, she dresses up like a monster every day, just to sell more tofu. The tofu was sold, but her reputation as a slut is not good. It started. The bully in the village tried to bully her a few days ago, of course she was not happy, and during the tearing, the tofu Xi Shi broke the bully's head."
"Isn't Tofu Xishi in big trouble? That bully is a bully here, and the county magistrate has nothing to do with him."
"That's not it. However, you can't even guess it. Suddenly a woman appeared at this time. At first glance, that woman was the wife of a high-ranking official. Her aura couldn't even be controlled by the county magistrate. Needless to say, Tofu Xi Shi He was acquitted, and the bully was put in prison. Even if his family wanted to redeem him with money, the county magistrate would not dare. The bully's family was not convinced and wanted to trouble the lady. It is understandable ..."
"It's miserable!" The person next to him sang the double reed in unison. "The lady didn't know her origin. The county magistrate listened to her, and even famous officials nearby came to visit. It's not a big deal. The reason why she is called a living Bodhisattva is because she taught the tofu Xishi to make a This kind of dried tofu is particularly delicious, and now tofu Xishi can do business without wearing thin clothes.”
After listening to those people's description, Lu Zhiyun probably guessed it.Who else could this person be besides her mother?It seems that her mother is really having a good time.
