He Hua's back hurt from the fall, but after hearing this, she said with a straight face: "I couldn't bear it and fell. It's your wife's fault. My family can still afford the money for medical treatment."
The girl's face suddenly became embarrassed and she muttered: "Girl, I, I didn't mean that.
At this point, Mrs. Feng had no choice but to soften her attitude, apologized with a smile, went to the back to see Zhi'er, gave her a bunch of gifts, and tried to persuade her, and then she took the lead. The man hurried home in despair.
Fang took He Hua into the house and looked at the injuries on her back. Fortunately, they were just bumps and no scratches. Then she got so angry that she poked her forehead and said, "You girl, why don't you just stay behind."
"That Mr. Feng, whether he is new or displeased by the county magistrate, he will always be the county magistrate after his good deeds are about to come back. If he wants to deal with us, it will be very easy. Now we are struggling I imprisoned the county magistrate and gave them some beatings, and they will have to resort to rat-a-tat in the future. In this way, it doesn’t matter if I get a little bump."
"Even the bitter meat trick doesn't work like this. There are so many cups and dishes, what if one of them is accidentally injured." Fang said while rubbing the medicinal wine on He Hua's back.
Hehua stuck out her tongue and asked, "How's Aunt Zhi'er doing? Uncle Jin was asking about her outside just now!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Fang sighed deeply: "Don't try to get involved in this matter. It's all a matter between the two of them, good or bad. Don't interfere with your little one."
Seeing Fang's solemn expression, Hehua had no choice but to nod in agreement. Later, she heard from someone in the kitchen that Aunt Zhi'er had asked Inspector Jin to go out to talk, but she didn't know how the conversation went, which made her very worried.
Hehua's back hit the boss at the table leg, and he could only lie down in the room obediently. In the evening, someone knocked on the door, and Hehua just thought it was coming to deliver food to him, so he weakly turned to the door and said: "The door is unlocked...come in by yourself!"
The door of the room was pushed open, and standing at the door was Qi Jintang. He was dressed in a moon-white cotton robe with nearly brown edges. He stood upright at the door... as tall and tall as a poplar in the snow. . The afterglow of the evening shone from the west, coating his outline with a layer of light gold, but his eyes were still as gentle as lotus flowers. I felt that the irritability and uneasiness in my heart were smoothed away under his gaze, and his face But she blushed a little unconsciously and asked softly: "Have you finished school?"
Qi Jintang stepped into the room, stood in front of the bed and hesitated for a moment... He moved a stool to sit far away, and then said: "Well, I heard from people in school that someone came to your house to cause trouble. I came over as soon as I got off school to take a look. , I heard from aunt that you hurt your back, but does it still hurt a lot?"
He Hua smiled and shook her head and said, "I'm not that delicate. It's just my mother who is worried. You don't have to worry."
"The new county magistrate was demoted from the provincial government... The reason is not clear, but he has been demoted to this point and has not made any progress in his career for a year... I guess there is no hope of making a comeback. The county magistrate Originally, there was an old friend who had been involved in the relationship and had taken a fancy to the position of county magistrate. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Mr. Feng. Naturally, he felt unhappy. In addition, Mr. Feng had seen the market and had been in the market for years. They all rely on connections and don't pay much attention to the county magistrate, so the contradictions become more and more serious. Today is just a matter of your family. But since he is clearly on your family's side today , I think I won't just sit back and watch the Feng family come back for trouble again, and I should be able to feel at ease in the future." Qi Jintang didn't wait for He Hua to ask questions, and picked up the things and told her one by one.
"How did you know I was going to ask this?" Lotus smiled... two small dimples formed on his lips, "I didn't even want to ask!"
"Okay, just think of it as me talking to myself!" Qi Jintang responded in a good-tempered manner, "What does Hehua want to ask?"
"I would like to ask you if you will participate in Enke again this year? If you win, do you want to elect an official?" Hehua has always wanted to ask this matter in her heart, but she has never found a suitable opportunity... There happens to be only two of them alone today. Then he asked.
"If you win, go and choose a small official, find a clean, quiet and peaceful town, and govern the people. In your free time, boil a pot of old wine, and let's drink and talk under the trees full of flowers, or lean on each other Read a book by the stove..." Qi Jintang's eyes flashed as he said, "If you don't win, find a good place like this and I can open a library to teach. Can He Hua say that?"
He was a little distracted when he described the lotus. He seemed to have already seen a small table and two deck chairs under the brilliant flower tree. Two people were sitting opposite each other, either tasting tea or drinking... ... He nodded involuntarily and said: "If If it’s really like this, it’s naturally the best.”
Qi Jintang stood up, took out a small porcelain box from his arms, put it on the table and said, "This is the best medicine for wounds. You can keep it for use. I'll go back first."
Hehua stopped him and said, "You, don't just study. You have to pay attention to your health."
Qi Jintang suddenly smiled after hearing this: "Girl, you have so much to worry about every day, you don't know how to think more about yourself."
After hearing this, Hehua also felt that the image of herself lying on the kang was not suitable for telling others, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "If you want to eat something, just send someone to tell me, I've done it." Bring it back to you."
Not long after Qi Jintang left, Zhi'er came back from outside in a daze.
He Hua hurriedly greeted: "Aunt Zhi'er, my back hurts, please come and rub it for me."
Zhi'er raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then went into the house and lit the lamp. She looked at Lotus lying on the kang and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. I accidentally fell down in the afternoon and my back hit the corner of the table. My mother said there was a big black bruise. Brother Jintang just came to deliver the wound medicine. Can you help me rub it?" Hehua looked at the branch. He looked at her red and swollen eyes and diverted her attention.
"It's so good that it's hurt." Zhier leaned over and sat on the edge of the kang. He opened up the quilt and opened his inner clothes. Sure enough, he saw a palm-sized black patch above Hehua's lower back. He couldn't help but suck it first. He took a breath and said, "It hit so hard." After saying that, without waiting for Hehua to say anything else, he took the ointment and rubbed some on his hands, and slowly helped Hehua to rub it.
"Aunt Zhi'er, don't be sad, it's not worth it for someone like that." Hehua grinned and said.
"Children, please stay away from adults' business." Zhi'er's tone didn't sound like she was very sad. After rubbing the lotus flowers away, she washed her hands and said, "You rest, I'll go out and help my aunt." He left without looking back.
In the evening, after the shop in front was tidied up, Mrs. Fang went back to the house to see He Hua's injury. She was all smiles...she couldn't hide her happiness.
"Mom, what are you enjoying, but what good things are you doing?" Hehua asked impatiently, "Is it Aunt Zhi'er..."
"Maybe someone will come to propose marriage in a few days!" Fang asked Zhi'er just now and found out that Zhi'er had made an appointment with Inspector Jin to go out for a showdown, told all about her past affairs, and then said that they would break up from now on. However, Inspector Jin took the opportunity to express his feelings, saying that no matter what happened in the past, what he valued was Zhi'er and the future. Zhi'er went home full of sadness, but was greeted by a clumsy-tongued man who spoke warmly, and then returned home happily.
Mrs. Fang was naturally happy for Zhi'er. She finally found a man she could rely on. While rubbing the ointment on Lotus, her subordinates said: "Let your father go home tomorrow to deliver a message to your aunt, and then send your aunt Come stay with us for a few days and help your Aunt Zhi'er take care of things."
"Auntie and Auntie Zhi'er are the best. I must be very happy to know this news." Hehua also became happy when she heard this. She wanted to get up and pulled the injury on her back, and she suddenly felt "ouch" in pain.
As expected, Zhu Yongxin took Sister Zhu back to the city the next day. Sister Zhu had been so happy from ear to ear since she heard about it in the morning. Along the way, she kept saying that Zhi'er finally had an idea, and it was not in vain. I try my best to persuade him every day.
Zhu Yongxin told Sister Zhu a few words about what happened the day before, which made her frown and scolded the Feng family boy repeatedly. But after hearing it, he couldn't help but say: "Oh, this is the case. Fate, it was time for them to talk to each other. This is also a good thing. From now on, they will always hide and hide things in their lives. I feel bad about it. No matter how harmonious they are, they still feel that there is still a gap. It is better to talk it out now. Chu, don’t let anyone worry about this in the future.”
After arriving in the city, Sister Zhu specially asked Inspector Jin to come to her house for dinner in the evening. Before that, she only heard Zhi'er talk about it in private. She knew that Inspector Jin only had an old mother in his family. His wife was short-lived and died when she gave birth to a child. After two lives, he had to earn money to take care of his mother. Although he worked as a patrolman and his family had enough food and drink, but his mother was getting older, and he had to work in public office and go home to take care of her, which was always a bit overwhelming. .
Sister Zhu was quite satisfied when she saw Inspector Jin. In the past, she was worried about whether Zhi'er would suffer if she married him, but this time she saw that he was sincere in adversity, and she became more and more satisfied.
Inspector Jin was also a cheerful person. He knew that Sister Zhu had already regarded Zhi'er as his sister. After dinner, he repeatedly assured Sister Zhu that he would treat Zhi'er well in the future, although he did not dare to say that he would let her Living a life of wealth and wealth, but living in harmony with a small family, I can definitely work hard to achieve it.
Sister Zhu smiled deliberately and said: "I can't make the decision. It depends on whether my sister Zhi'er nods. If she doesn't nod, even if you say a flower to me, I won't accept you."
Inspector Jin hurriedly turned around and bowed to Zhi'er: "Madam..."
Zhi'er was blushing with embarrassment. After hearing this, he stood up and stamped his feet and said, "They all gang up on me."
Before the Jin family came to propose marriage, several people introduced by Inspector Jin to do the work had already arrived. In total, Fang needed to hire two people, one to help wash the dishes in the kitchen, and the other to help wash the dishes in the back.
I saw the people being brought in, four daughters-in-law in their thirties, and two women who looked older. Mrs. Fang mentioned her requirements, and everyone said they could do it.
Sister Zhu came over to help the staff when she had nothing to do. She saw that the people selected by Inspector Jin were all clean and decent. There was a young daughter-in-law who looked very cramped. Her clothes were also made of pudding, but the stitching was very fine and there were some edges. There are also some embroidered patterns, but at first glance the patches are not visible. She was wearing a pair of gilt silver bracelets on her hands, but the gilding had long been worn away, revealing the plain silver inside. Maybe she didn't have the money to gild and refurbish it. She nervously wrung her hands together and asked her When he spoke, he swallowed hard and spoke very quickly after he opened his mouth, as if he was afraid of being disliked. "I have done everything from doing odd jobs, washing, and chopping vegetables. I have always been very diligent in doing work, and I will never cause any trouble to my employer." of."
Sister Zhu pointed to the chopping board at the back and said, "Cut some vegetables and take a look."
The man first took off the bracelet on his wrist and put it into his arms, then rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands before going to get the vegetables, shredding them into shreds and slicing them according to Sister Zhu's requirements, cutting them quickly and carefully. Okay, Mrs. Fang and Sister Zhu both decided on this person without hesitation. Then they found out that their surname was Guo. Her husband was also working part-time work outside the home. One of their sons wanted to go to school, and their daughter was about to reach the age to talk to her husband's family, so they decided on this person. Come out to work to supplement your income.
Then she picked Mrs. Liu to wash the dishes in the back. Mrs. Fang then said: "Aunt Liu, Sister-in-law Guo, we are trying to vilify the front. There are no big rules in doing things in my house. Firstly, your hands and feet must be clean, and secondly, you must be diligent and avoid causing trouble." . My family’s salary is absolutely fair. If you have anything, please tell me and we can discuss it and we can handle it. But please don’t do anything behind my back. Otherwise, if people know about it, you won’t be able to behave anymore. "
"Grandma, don't worry." Both of them agreed.
"I'll come to work tomorrow morning. It's too late today, so let's go back and have a rest!" After that, Mrs. Fang sent away the remaining few who were not selected, went to thank Inspector Jin and said, "Thank you for helping Zhang Luo." , otherwise how could you pick someone you like so quickly?"
"Second sister-in-law is too polite. Even if we are not close, we are already more like one family. If you say such things to me, wouldn't it be a heretic?" Inspector Jin scratched his head as he spoke, and said sheepishly, "My mother is optimistic about the future. He said that he would ask someone to come to propose marriage the day after tomorrow... "
"Okay, don't worry, our family won't make things difficult for you." Sister Zhu covered her mouth and laughed so hard that Inspector Jin's cheeks turned red from being teased, but his eyes were bright, and you could tell that he was in a very good mood.
Sister Zhu has been busy organizing the dowry for Zhier in the past few days. She can't wait to buy more clothes, materials and jewelry. On the contrary, Ms. Fang stopped her and persuaded her, saying: "Sister, follow me. You can put more clothing materials for her. The jewelry should not be too expensive and just add more money from the bottom of the box. Once she comes, she will get married. A person from a small family cannot wear so many things, and secondly, they are not as useful as the clothes and silver in their hands."
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense." Sister Zhu began to add up the materials she packed at the bottom of the box, and also bought some in the city to add to them. She counted thirty-two loads of furniture and furnishings inside and outside, but when she was loading, she unexpectedly It was not packed, but I had to collect sixty-four to carry it, but there really wasn’t that much stuff, so I had to fill the boxes at the back so full that I couldn’t even put my hands in them.
On February 16th, the matchmaker invited by the Jin family came to propose marriage. According to the rules, they changed the draft and approved the eight characters. Inspector Jin and Zhi'er were not too young, and it was not their first time to get married, so naturally they were both. It was a matter of course. After the horoscopes were matched, the Jin family came to give the betrothal gift soon. Sister Zhu officially recognized Zhi'er as her younger sister, but she still said that she was a distant relative.
The two families agreed that the wedding date would be the sixth day of June, and Zhi'er began to help look after Bao'er at home and make her own dowry.
I don't know whether it was influenced by Zhi'er or something else, but Bao'er was very interested in needlework. He often imitated Zhi'er, getting leftover materials and tying them with a needle and thread.
Zhi'er was afraid that she would get pricked on her hands, so she always restrained her. But one time when Mrs. Fang saw her, Mrs. Fang recited Amitabha Buddha repeatedly and said, "Thank you so much for Zhi'er. I have lotus flowers at home and even a non-needle worker lets me fuck them." My heart is broken, Bodhisattva protects me like a lotus."
When Hehua heard this, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, why do you say that to me, an aunt, in front of Bao'er? Besides, there's nothing wrong with learning to read and write from me."
"It's good to read and write, but you also need to be a needleworker." Mrs. Fang glared at her, "I've forced you over and over again, but you still refuse to study hard. Don't blame your mother or me for regretting in the future."
"I don't regret it!" He Hua smiled and ran out.
Bao'er stood on the kang and studied lotus flowers, and shouted loudly: "I don't regret it!"
Sister-in-law Guo put on an apron and wiped her hands as she came over and said, "Madam, Master Zhu said that the young master of the Lu family is here and wants you to come forward and say a word!"
Fang didn't react when she heard this. When Zhi'er reminded her, she remembered that it was the house where Shaoyao said they were going to marry each other. She hurriedly pulled up her clothes and went out to greet her.
Not long after, Mrs. Fang came back and said, "What a coincidence. Something happened just after the eldest sister left. I have to ask your second brother to go back and report the news."
"What's wrong?" Zhi'er stood up and asked.
"I'm here to see my old man die, and I want to take advantage of Rexiao to get married. The Lu family brother is the eldest son's direct grandson. If he doesn't get married in Rexiaoli, he will have to wait for three years." Fang calculated, "Even if Our Peony family can afford to wait, but the Lu family’s brother can’t afford to wait either. He’s already twenty-six years old this year, and he’s still empty at his knees!”
"But Shaoyao is really a little young..." Zhi'er thought of the pain she had suffered when she was knocked down next year, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's just a one-year filial piety, but we can't afford to wait for three years." Mrs. Fang said and took out the money from the cabinet. "It's not easy to talk about getting married now, Re Xiaoli." The wedding is extremely lively, and our family can’t invite anyone to have a drink, so why shouldn’t that Shaoyao kid be unhappy if he’s so narrow-minded!”
"You can't blame anyone else for this. It can only be said to be a coincidence. Is it possible that she is still angry about not getting married?" Zhi'er advised Fang, "If you want me to talk about the second sister-in-law, please don't come forward. I will only give in to everything." The second brother went back and said, "We won't come up with any ideas. The uncle and aunt naturally know the importance."
After listening to Zhi'er's suggestion, Mrs. Fang went to the front to find Zhu Yongxin, asked him to change into plain clothes, gave him money, went to Lu's house as a gift, and then drove back to the village to deliver the letter, and repeatedly warned him: "Just take this Tell your family something. If other parents don't ask you, don't say anything, especially in front of Shaoyao. If your parents ask you what you think, just say you don't understand. Just listen to your parents, no. Don't interfere in your daughter's affairs, especially now that the third child is back in the village, and we don't have the foundation to talk to her. Getting married in your daughter's family is a major event in her life. If it goes well, everyone will be good. If it doesn't go well, we can't afford it. Such responsibility."
"Aren't you just asking me to go back and pretend to be stupid? What's so difficult about this!" Zhu Yongxin said while changing his clothes, "This child Shaoyao looked pretty good before, but now She looks more and more like her parents. After she gets married, we just need to move around less."
Sure enough, after going home and talking about it, Yang frowned a little and asked Zhu Yongxin: "What do the Lu family mean?"
"The Lu family naturally hopes to get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will have to observe mourning for three years. By then, all the Lu family brothers will be twenty-eight years old or older." Zhu Yongxin only relayed the Lu family's opinions. , squatting on the ground smoking and making his sawed gourd.
After hearing this, Yang felt that it was reasonable, so she turned to look at Lao Zhutou and asked, "Her grandpa, what do you say?"
"It's not bad to be married in a warm and filial manner, but it's just not a lively affair. We also have to consider the difficulties of the in-laws. The Lu family brother is indeed quite young, and they have to wait to continue the family line, right?"
With one word from Lao Zhutou, the matter of Rexiao's marriage was settled. By the time Shaoyao heard the news, Zhu Yongxin had already rushed back to the city.
Shaoyao was so angry that she twisted a handkerchief eighteen times. The most important event in her daughter's family had been decided without her knowing it. She would get married in hot filial piety, and she couldn't play or sing, or shoot off cannons. Even the banquet banquet was restricted, and only relatives and friends within five servers could be invited. How could she not hate such a wedding
But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't blame anyone else. Whoever made the old man of the Lu family disappear at that moment, he still suffered the consequences. As I thought about it, I sat on the edge of the kang and wiped my tears.
Mrs. Yang came in holding a lampstand and said, "It's already dark, why don't you wait with me?" Seeing Shaoyao's face filled with tears, she put down the lampstand and sat down to persuade her, "There's nothing to cry about, it's just about getting married." It’s just not that lively back then.”
"It's all because of my misfortune!" Shaoyao said, wiping her tears while pulling her handkerchief.
"Don't talk nonsense like this. I'll give you a little more money to put in the box. None of this is important. From now on, my life will be better than anything else." Yang comforted her a few words and saw the peony wiped dry. The tears stopped, and then he pulled her and said a lot of things about how you should know the rules and abide by your duties after getting married, "... I originally thought I would tell you these in detail in autumn, but now that the wedding is about It's going to be early, so I have to nag you. It's better to be a daughter-in-law in someone else's family than to stay at home. You should be filial to your parents-in-law, serve your man, and then give birth to children for the Lu family. This is the foundation for you to settle down and live in the future. "
