Today is the big day of the Su family. Naturally, everyone in the Su family wears new clothes. The fine cotton clothes with silk threads shimmer slightly in the sun. After a year of nursing, all the daughters of the Su family have become white and lovely. , Even Su shi's body has been recuperated for a long time, and now his complexion is much better, and now he can see the beauty of his youth.
The eldest two daughters, Young Jin, are already thirteen, and Young Yin is eleven. They have already drawn a lot. The peach blossom eyes that look exactly like the Su family are slightly raised, and Bai Jing’s beautiful face is full of gentle and polite smiles. , In a crowd of country girls with yellow faces, thin skin, and rough hair, they are really outstanding.
Looking at Young Jin, who treats people and things with grace, Zhao sighed deeply again, after all, there is no fate!
This warm house wine made everyone have different thoughts, but the Su family were very happy, especially when they saw a figure who had not seen for a long time outside the door, Young Jin's mood became better, and quickly greeted him. Go up: "Young Master Xiao, why are you here?" Young Jin still likes this sassy little brat, even though he is half a year younger than him, but in Young Jin's eyes, Xiao Linfeng is like a child.
Xiao Linfeng, who was still dressed in white, still looked at the chaotic crowd in the courtyard with some disgust, and when he saw Young Jin come out, a smile appeared on his face: "Girl Su, you are too immature, drinking warm house wine. Don't call me! This person is too noisy, is there a quiet place for me to rest my feet?"
He was not angry with such a young man, and smiled and led people to the backyard: "Today, the neighbors in the village come to liven up the housewarming. I never thought that the young master would walk on the lowland, but he was not ready for a while." People brought them to the flower hall in the front yard to sit, and soon a girl came up with tea and snacks: "Eldest girl."
He personally took the tea and put it in front of Xiao Linfeng, and then smiled and apologized: "Young master has a cup of tea, and this place is quite clean. Why did you return to Luohe Prefecture if you didn't go back to the capital?" Remember With nearly half a month to go before the Chinese New Year, Xiao Linfeng insisted on dragging Xiao Linyu to the dim sum shop to buy some dim sum, saying that he was going to eat on the way back to Beijing, why did he come back after less than half a year
Xiao Linfeng first took a slow sip of tea, then rolled up a soft and delicious sweet-scented osmanthus mung bean cake and put it into his mouth to eat slowly, and then said: "Eldest brother wants to go back to Luohe Prefecture to deal with some things, so I will come back with you. Now, why do you have an opinion?"
Youjin actually wanted to ask why Xiao Linyu didn't come. After all, Xiao Linfeng is just a little handsome man, and Xiao Linyu is a big handsome man! However, he swallowed the words and said with a smile, "Our shop has launched several new flavors of dim sum this year, but I'm still thinking that you haven't tasted it, young master!"
"Really? What flavor of dim sum?" Xiao Linfeng still likes the food produced by the Su family. After all, it tastes really good. As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, he immediately changed his attitude: "Why don't you serve it soon? Master, try it?"
You Jin said apologetically, "I have a warm house at home today, and I don't know that you will come, young master, and I am not prepared. When the shop opens tomorrow morning, how about I will send it to the house for you when it is ready?"
Xiao Linfeng sat with a golden knife on his horse and waved his hand casually: "It's okay, then I'll go to your store to eat tomorrow."
Just now, the Su Clan didn't see anyone. He heard that a very good-looking young man came to the family and was brought to the flower hall by You Jin, so he also looked for him: "You Jin, who is this?"
Seeing Mrs. Su coming, You Jin hurriedly stood up and introduced them to the two: "Mother, this is the little son of the Xiao family who bought the recipe for our sour plum soup." Then he turned to introduce to Xiao Linfeng: "Young son Xiao, this is the son of the Xiao family. It's my mother, her family name is Su."
When facing the elders, Xiao Linfeng was very measured, and stood up obediently and gave a junior salute: "Aunt Su, Aunt An."
This is the first time Su has been greeted like this by others, but he is a little uncomfortable, and he hastily told him to be polite: "Then You Jin, please greet Mr. Xiao well, and I will not disturb it." Su also forgot at this time. After deciding whether it was appropriate for a man and a widow to be in the same room, he smiled stiffly and exited the flower hall.
Fortunately, Youjin hadn't forgotten it, and left Song Hua and Song Hua to wait by the side. Song Hua is the eldest son of Uncle Song's family, and he can also help with a lot of things now.
Xiao Linfeng didn't stay for a long time. He sat for a while, drank some tea and ate a few cakes, left the congratulations he brought to the door, and brought the snack box that Youjin specially prepared for him, and went back to the city contentedly.
After the conservatory wine was finished, the four rough old women, together with the Song family's daughter-in-law Li, took Bai Zhi and others to quickly clean up the leftovers, and Su sat in the armchair in the main hall and drank a cup of tea comfortably. He sighed: "I really can't think of it, we only came to Luohe Prefecture at this time last year and just settled down, and we have already had a good life this year!"
You Jin stood behind Su Shi and rubbed her shoulders hard. Hearing what she said, she couldn't help but smile: "This is just the beginning. In another two years, we will definitely be able to live a better life!"
"I believe you." Su Shi is really satisfied now. The older daughters in the family are more capable than the other, and the younger ones are all well-behaved and sensible. Thinking of the past ten years in the Yue family, it was like a purgatory. I really don't know how I got through it in the first place!
***
After moving into the new home, there were a lot more people in the family, but Young Jin didn't dare to relax his defenses. He asked a blacksmith to order a batch of thorny iron thorns to surround the walls of the old and new houses.
Chen Laosan, who deliberately passed by the Su's house on the west side of the river, looked at the sharp iron thorns on the high courtyard wall, and remembered that the villagers talked about how good the food and drinks of the Su's house conservatory wine were that day, and the noble son in the city gave it to him. Chen Laosan felt annoyed when he received gifts like brocade, and was even more determined to make a fortune in the Su family: "As long as this is done, we can all live in a big house like the Su family, and buy a A bunch of people are coming back to serve you!"
Hearing what he said, his friends were also excited, but hesitant: "But third brother, aren't we going to be thieves who are robbing houses?" He was used to thieves touching him, but according to Chen What the third child meant was that the girl who robbed the Su family wanted to pay for ransom, but the nature of this was completely different!
He patted the head of the man who wanted to retreat: "It's really worthless! Now the wall of the Su family courtyard is so high, and there are iron thorns on it, how do you get in? Besides, you don't know where they put the money. What's wrong?" Chen Laosan was so eager for the Su family's silver that his eyes were red: "As long as the big girl of the Su family is robbed, wouldn't the ransom be asked by us!"
Chen Laosan's appetite has been greatly nourished by the good situation of the Su family, and he can no longer be satisfied with the 128 taels of silver: "When the time comes to rob people, I will ask her for a thousand taels! Not two thousand taels! two!"
"Two thousand taels!" These are all scoundrels who have been in the village all year round. Where have I seen so much money? When I heard that there was such a lot of money, I was jealous, and a bold slap on the thigh: "Success! Third brother I did it to you! I will listen to you what you say to do!"
There was one person who supported him, and everyone else agreed, only the last one who was a little hesitant to see everyone staring at him, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, nodding in agreement!
A group of people got drunk at Chen Laosan's house, all of them were thinking about how to spend it after they had two thousand taels of silver, but they didn't notice that a thin figure was shrinking in the darkness outside the window of the Chen's house with a hole. Hear all their conversations.
Chen Laosan's family has two sons and two daughters. The two sons have the same temperament as Chen Laosan. The oldest of the two daughters is fifteen and the youngest is only eight years old. Since childhood, Chen Laosan's wife and two brothers have regarded them as livestock. To be treated, there is naturally a lot of resentment towards this family in my heart.
Chen Xiaocui is the youngest daughter of Chen Laosan. Hearing that Chen Laosan and others were planning to kidnap the eldest girl of the Su family, she was shocked and scared, but she didn't know what to do, so she told the Chen family about it. The eldest daughter, Chen Xiaohong: "eldest sister, is Dad really going to tie up the Su family sister?"
She actually likes the eldest sister of the Su family who has a good-looking smile. The last time she saw her, she gave her a piece of cake she had never eaten before. The fragrant taste in her mouth made her unforgettable for a long time. She had a dream last night. Then I drooled a lot!
After listening to Chen Xiaocui's words, a strange light flashed in Chen Xiaohong's eyes. She has no way out now. Chen Laosan, a beast, is now saying that she wants to sell herself. I'm afraid she really has this plan.
Seeing that the eldest sister did not speak, Chen Xiaocui pushed her again: "eldest sister, what are you thinking? What should we do?"
"Xiao Cui, if you have the chance, would you like to escape with the eldest sister?" Chen Xiaohong really couldn't bear it anymore, it's just enough to not eat enough and wear warm clothes, but she has such parents who have never taken herself As a human being, she really doesn't want to live a day like this!
Chen Xiaocui is only eight years old, how does she know this? She didn't even understand why the eldest sister had the idea of running away: "Eldest sister, where do you want to escape? If you let my father know, I will definitely beat you!" She only remembered that Chen Xiaohong had escaped once the year before and was retrieved by Chen Laosan. After coming here, I was beaten hard, and then I was hungry for a few days before the matter was over. How can I still have this idea now
Chen Xiaohong didn't want to suffer this crime anymore. Thinking of the beating she had suffered the previous year, she wanted to bite her lips, and then she thought of an idea: "Xiaocui, I want to tell Su Youjin about this!" As soon as she came, she helped the Su family, and Su Youjin must be able to help herself!
After saying that, regardless of what Chen Xiaocui wanted to say, she only left a sentence to make her pay attention to the main room, while she slipped out quietly. After exiting the gate of Chen's house, he ran wildly, all the way to the west of the river, as if a vicious dog was chasing her behind, and as if there was something in front of her that attracted her to chase her desperately.
