Ye Xiaotian was very depressed. Although he was optimistic by nature, the failure to deliver the letter still hit him hard. This money is of great significance to him and his family. His hard journey is all supported by the beautiful fantasy of improving his family's situation with the five hundred taels of silver. Unexpectedly, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"I said I wanted to go back to my hometown, so I went back in such a disheveled way, not only disappointed my parents, but also made it difficult for my elder brother, and the gang of cronies in the prison still laughed at me to death..."
Ye Xiaotian thought depressingly, and led the big beauty, little Lolita, out with a sad face. When he got to the archway, Yang Leyao saw the basket selling pears, and immediately stuffed his little finger into his mouth, as if he couldn't move. .
"Here, here you are."
Ye Xiaotian took out a pear from his bosom, and handed it to Yang Leyao listlessly.
"Thank you uncle!"
Yang Leyao took the pear happily, but looked at her mother timidly.
"Eat it!"
Xue Shuiwu sighed, gently stroked the head of a daughter, Ye Xiaotian took out another pear from his bosom, and lazily handed it to Xue Shuiwu: "Here, this is for you."
Yang Leyao's eyes widened in amazement, and he looked at his chest eagerly, wondering how he could conjure pears one after another, if only she had this ability.
Xue Shuiwu wanted to address Ye Xiaotian, but she didn't know how to say it. Call me uncle. She always felt a little ashamed and flustered, so she shook her head slightly and said, "Thank you, I won't eat."
A group of three people left Jingzhou City like this, Ye Xiaotian was on the left, Xue Shuiwu was on the right, with little Lolita in the middle, and little Lolita was holding a pear that was too big for her small mouth, He gnawed hard until the juice flowed.
In a small forest outside Jingzhou City, Ye Xiaotian stopped.
They were supposed to go north along the official road, but not long after they left the city, Ye Xiaotian led their mother and daughter to a small forest beside the road, which made Xue Shuiwu a little uneasy, she looked at Ye Xiaotian awkwardly, not knowing what he wanted to do .
Ye Xiaotian originally wanted to escape by urinating, but when things came to an end, seeing Shui Wu's weak and helpless appearance and Leyao's small person, thinking of the mother and daughter's helpless appearance, somehow he couldn't help himself. Can't do such nasty things.
But he really couldn't take care of himself, how could he have the ability to take care of others, after thinking about it, he wanted to explain his difficulties to her and ask her to go her own way. But now standing in the grove, looking at Xue Shuiwu's charming eyes, Ye Xiaotian suddenly found that not only could he not say goodbye without telling him, he didn't even have the courage to say goodbye.
Staring at those heart-thumping eyes, a strange thought suddenly came to Ye Xiaotian's heart: "Why am I so stupid, I don't really have an engagement with that little girl, I just want to get away and fool the Yang family." What is your idea? Although this little girl can't be a daughter-in-law, her mother... "
A pair of thieves' eyes slipped a few times on Shui Wu's pretty figure, and Ye Xiaotian threw away the idea of returning to Beijing alone without the mother and daughter.
If there is no accident, he will be a prison boss for the rest of his life, complacent every day for a little money, save enough money like an ant, and marry a man who is not beautiful but has a big butt and a thick waist. A woman who can work lives a lifetime.
For a woman as charming and beautiful as Xue Shuiwu, he can only watch from birth to death, and will never be blessed. Right now, he has such a good opportunity to marry a beautiful woman. How could he care about the unrealistic things that Shui Wu was a concubine to the beauty of the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice.
"Cough..."
Ye Xiaotian coughed, and said to Xue Shuiwu: "Miss Shuiwu, to be honest, in fact... I didn't come to get married at all, and Master Yang Lin didn't promise me his daughter. Said, otherwise you and I may have been soaked in the pig cage... "
Shui Wu's clear eyes suddenly became soft and beautiful, she lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "I know, I was also surprised at first, but after thinking about it, I understood. Yaoyao is so young, how could the master promise her?" people… "
Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Since you understand, I don't need to waste my time talking. In fact, the letter Mr. Yang asked me to send was to instruct the family to divide the property and leave a generous dowry for your daughter. It's a pity Now that the letter is gone, I don’t even need to think about it.”
Shui Wu shook her head lightly, and said: "I don't want money from the Yang family at all. I just want to raise my daughter well, and I don't want anything else." She turned her head and looked at her daughter , gently patted her head, her expression full of affection.
Ye Xiaotian coughed again, and said, "Miss Shuiwu, does Miss Shuiwu have any relatives or friends she can rely on?"
Shui Wu shook her head sadly, Ye Xiaotian felt relieved: "This is easy to handle, it's easy to deal with orphans and widows!"
He immediately said righteously: "Mrs. Yang is in trouble with you. Your mother and daughter can't live in Jingzhou. No matter whether you are going to the capital or going to another place, you have to leave the boundary of Jingzhou first. Good decision.
Since I brought your mother and daughter out, I can't abandon you. It's just that the three of you and I are walking together, if we don't have a suitable title, it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion, and maybe cause troubles. Along the way, you and I will be called husband and wife, Yaoyao pretending to be your daughter, how about it? "
Ye Xiaotian desperately hid his fox tail, speaking with a dignified righteousness. Shui Wu blushed when she heard this, lowered her head shyly, blinked her neat and fine eyelashes for a while, shook her head slightly, pursed her thin red lips, and said softly: "Brother Ye, this... this is only I'm afraid it's wrong."
Ye Xiaotian didn't want to expose his naked purpose just by telling the truth, it would be easy to scare people away, so he thought of using such a tactful method to slowly figure it out, but he didn't want to be just a couple in name, just for the convenience of walking on the road, The water dance girl actually disagreed.
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Shui Wu bit her lower lip, and said timidly: "Going on this way, if you and I are called husband and wife, what will we do when we stay at the top of the hotel? It's not easy to live in the same room, it's easier if we sleep in separate rooms. Letting others see through, why not... we are called brothers and sisters, okay?"
"Oh! This little beauty is not stupid. I originally came up with this idea, but I don't want to be guessed by her."
Ye Xiaotian still didn't give up, and said with a sneer: "If you go together in the name of brother and sister, but the younger sister brings a child, such a group of three people will also be suspicious?"
Shui Wu glanced at him quickly, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Then... Yaoyao also pretends to be Brother Ye's sister, do you think it's okay?"
"Three brothers and sisters... it makes sense."
Ye Xiaotian said dryly, a little discouraged in his heart, but he was not disappointed. Brothers and sisters are like brothers and sisters, "Ganchai Lihuo is good for cooking, and brothers and sisters are good for kissing." 'If you want to catch the prey, you have to make the prey lose their vigilance first.
Ye Xiaotian readily agreed and said, "Okay! Then you and I will be called brothers and sisters from now on."
Ye Xiaotian bent down, pretending to be tricking the little loli to see the goldfish, and said to the little loli who was still working hard on the pear pit: "Yaoyao, from today on, don't care if your mother is called sister, don't care about me. You have to call me brother, remember? If you call me wrong, there will be no food."
Saying that, Ye Xiaotian took out a pear from his bosom, and stuffed it into Yaoyao's hand with a smile. Le Yao stared at Ye Xiaotian with big black eyes, then at Xue Shuiwu who had no objection, parted her pear juice-stained lips, and called out crisply: "Brother, sister. "
After finishing speaking, he opened his small white teeth, clicked, and bit the pear in Ye Xiaotian's hand, almost biting off his finger.
※※※
There are pears as bribes, Ye Xiaotian and Xue Shuiwu's mother and daughter are more refreshing than Liu Guanzhang's "three brothers and sisters in Taoyuan". The "three brothers and sisters" want to leave the woods while it is still early in the daylight. Caravan, hitch a ride to a town heading north.
As soon as the three of them walked towards the official road, there were seven or eight fast horses galloping towards them in the distance. Ye Xiaotian raised his head casually, then stopped suddenly, and saw the group of people beating their horses like flying, stirring up a cloud of dust on the official road, rushing hurriedly. Come on, rush out along the official road again.
Ye Xiaotian could see clearly that the leader of the group was Yang Sanshou, and Ye Xiaotian's expression changed immediately. He went south all the way, trudging on the road every day, and he had a certain understanding of the travelers. He saw that the group of Yang Sanshou didn't carry horse bags and bedding, and they didn't seem to be traveling far away. What is this for
The group of people ran very fast and quickly disappeared from their sight. After turning around the hillside in front, Ye Xiaotian suddenly turned around, stared at Xue Shuiwu and said, "Then why does Mrs. Yang hate you so much?" , you have left the Yang Mansion, and she still refuses to give up."
Xue Shuiwu said in astonishment: "Brother Ye, you mean, Manager Yang brought those people... for me?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "It's not wrong. They didn't carry horses and bedding, and their luggage didn't seem like they were going on a long journey. They are racing horses like flying without hesitating their horsepower. They seem to be people who are going to go a long way. They are clearly chasing someone, you If they are running northward, who else could they be if they are not aiming at you?"
Xue Shuiwu's face turned pale, and he said in a daze, "Why? Why didn't she let me go, I don't have any deep hatred with her."
Ye Xiaotian saw that Xue Shuiwu didn't look like someone who used to be favored and arrogantly bullied the mistress. Could it be that Mrs. Yang is a character who will be revenged? What happened now, five hundred taels of silver wasted, and I wanted to take the girl by hand and go back with a different wife, so would there be a lot of gossip
Ye Xiaotian cursed God secretly, and said decisively: "Go! Let's go right away, go west through the woods."
Xue Shuiwu said in surprise: "Brother Ye is going back to Beijing? Oh, you want to take a detour?"
Ye Xiaotian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Even if his Yang family is the local snake in Jingzhou, it is impossible to seal all the roads. They have been looking north, so let's go west and go around in circles before returning to the capital. Disciplining them can't find it. "
Xue Shuiwu bowed his head softly and said: "Okay, everything is up to my brother!"
