During the whole New Year period, Hu County feels lazy. During the Chinese New Year, every family wants to reunite with their relatives, even the merchants who live for profit, so even the post roads are much deserted, only the postmen who pass the news are still on the road every day.
On this day, Ye Xiaotian wrote a letter home, writing down his situation in Hu County in detail, and entrusted the postman to send the letter to the capital. The last time he made full preparations, he wanted to persuade his family members to come to Hu County to reunite with him, but unexpectedly, he brought a lawsuit for him, which almost ruined his future.
Now Ye Xiaotian has changed to a more secure method. He tells his family about his situation in Hu County in detail, and asks his elder brother to come first. The second master of the county has also set up a huge home, so he should be tempted.
What's more, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. When the elder brother comes, he will dispel the so-called demonized impression that Guizhou is a barren land imagined by the people in the capital from sitting in the well, and it will be easier to convince their parents and sister-in-law at that time . Of course, his eldest brother is currently on a mission in the prison, so he might not be easy to leave, but he sent enough travel expenses with the letter, if the elder brother can't come, it is also possible to send a relative.
After Ye Xiaotian sent the letter, he took the gift that Siniang bought for him and walked to Hong Baichuan's mansion. Niuniu gave birth to a baby son to the tycoon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the Hong family couldn't help but be overjoyed. Ye Xiaotian had already sent someone to the door to congratulate him that day, but he had a lot of entertainment, so it took two days before he came to the door in person.
The tycoon has been by Niu Niu's side for the past few days, serving tea and water and pretending to be twenty-four filial piety. The old man Hong Baichuan didn't bother to sip his daughter-in-law's dry vinegar. Hiccupping and being sent to his arms by the maid, he beamed with satisfaction.
Ye Xiaotian was also happy when he saw the happy appearance of the rich family. Thinking of her own daughter, Douni, who still has a flat belly and has never given birth to a child for him, looking at the little people in other people's homes, she can't help being very jealous.
Ye Xiaotian sat with Hong's house for a while, seeing that the tycoon didn't let others touch his hands, he got up from time to time to change his son's diaper, feed his son sugar water, walk with his son in Tai Chi, and put him to sleep. He was really busy, and Mr. Hong surrounded him The son, staring at his grandson helplessly, kept chanting Amitabha, and then got up to leave.
Ye Xiaotian saw that it was still early after leaving the Hong Mansion, so he stood on the street and thought for a while, he had already paid homage to the county magistrate's mansion, and also visited the stockade where the two chiefs, Gao and Li, were in court, so he should stay at home in other places When people come to pay a visit, it is really inappropriate to come to the door, so they took the six inseparable attendants and turned around the mountain.
When Ye Xiaotian walked to the middle of the mountain, he saw four people climbing the mountain in front of him. The two people in front were a man and a woman. Just looking at their backs, he recognized Zhao Yicheng and his wife, Mrs. Qian, and two postmen followed behind them as long followers. Ye Xiaotian immediately raised his voice and called out: "Brother Zhao, I'm here!"
Zhao Wenyuan looked back, stopped and smiled and said, "Brother Yu is about to pay a visit, where did you come from?"
The two are already very close friends, so Zhao Wenyuan didn't need to post in advance, and came here at a leisurely pace. Of course, he also knows that Ye Xiaotian's family is not in Hu County, and there are not many people worthy of his own initiative to visit officially, and ninety-nine out of ten will be at home, so he came here without warning, and now he is a little surprised to see Ye Xiaotian behind him up.
Ye Xiaotian hurried to catch up, and first said hello to Qian Qingqing, because we met each other in the third year of junior high school, so there was no need to say auspicious words on the topic of the New Year, so he smiled at Zhao Wenyuan: "The tycoon Xi Delin Son, I had a lot of entertainment in the past few days, so I just made time to say congratulations today. How come Brother Zhao and Mrs. Sister-in-law are free?"
Zhao Wenyuan took out a letter from his sleeve, raised it to Ye Xiaotian and said: "Someone asked the postman in Bie County to bring you a letter. My wife and I live alone in the post station. I think it is too deserted during the New Year's Eve, so I will fill it as a letter." Reply to the messenger, the autumn wind is coming to your Ye family."
Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "I am flattered that you, Mr. Zhao, will be the messenger." Ye Xiaotian said as he took the letter. Qian Qingqing suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and said sweetly: "I see that the handwriting is very beautiful, I think it is the confidante of your Lord Ye."
Ye Xiaotian laughed and said: "Madam sister-in-law just made fun of me, Xiaotian, how can there be any confidante who will write a letter, if it is the eldest lady of the Xia family in Hongfenghu, she will definitely not pass on the letter, maybe she will kill herself will come... ”
Ye Xiaotian, Zhao Wenyuan and his wife did not see each other, opened the letter while going up the mountain, took a closer look, the voice stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, it really made Qian Qingqing speak, this letter was really written by his confidante. Although this letter was not written by Miss Xia, it was written by Zhan Ning'er herself. His and Ning'er's identities have not yet been determined, but they have promised each other for life. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are confidante.
Zhao Wenyuan looked at his face and couldn't help laughing: "Why, could it be that your sister-in-law is right?" Ye Xiaotian was walking up the mountain and didn't have time to take a closer look, so he just shook his head and smiled, and said, "That's right, my sister-in-law really hit the mark. The letter is from Miss Zhan."
While talking, they went up the mountain, because Yaoyao was teaching with the teacher, so they couldn't come over for a while. Ye Xiaotian invited the two of them into the living room to sit down, ordered the maidservant to serve tea, and accused Zhao Yicheng and his wife of a crime, first read the letter.
Zhan Ning'er said in the letter that she went home to celebrate her uncle's birthday, and then her mother's health was not very good, and it was delayed for a while. When the year was approaching, it was even worse for her to leave as an unmarried daughter. It was good to meet him again.
In the letter, apart from explaining the reason why she couldn't come earlier, it was also a love story of deep thoughts, which made people feel very lingering. All the difficulties in marrying her, he couldn't help but sighed softly.
Qian Qingqing looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said: "You men are always greedy. Thinking about the girl from the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake, she is not only noble, but also charming and beautiful. You are not satisfied. , I want to provoke girls from the Zhan family. These two girls are of extremely noble background, who can stay low and be a little girl? I'm afraid I won't have a headache when the time comes."
The two families are also very close, Qian Qingqing would use this tone to tease him, Ye Xiaotian could only give a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: "Sister-in-law, you don't know something, how can people control everything in this world?" Among them, sometimes it can only be involuntary, my brother and Miss Zhan have lived and died together, how can I just let it go."
Qian Qingqing just knew that he had a lifelong contract with Xia Yingying, and seeing that his expression was not clear with this girl Zhan, so she just teased a few words, not wanting to hear the words "to live and die together" from him, This is not an ordinary relationship, Qian Qingqing became curious, and couldn't help saying: "Life and death together, it's serious, Miss Zhan is a chieftain, whoever is disrespectful, how can she encounter life and death?"
Ye Xiaotian sighed softly: "This is really a life and death together, my brother has never lied."
Ye Xiaotian is very aware of Zhao Wenyuan's background, but he has never understood Zhao Wenyuan's real purpose, and whether he has any plots against him. Thinking about this, his heart moved, and he happened to talk about this secret. Exactly how much do you know.
There is nothing ulterior in this matter, besides, Zhao Wenyuan is the son of Bozhou Amu, I am afraid that he has known his true identity for a long time, but there is no need to hide it, so how did he stray into the Shengmiao Mountain area in the first place, and Zhang He told the story of Ning'er being hunted down to Thunder God's forbidden area.
Ye Xiaotian omitted some of the things that should not be told, but he did not hide anything about Bai Xiaoxiao's pursuit and the unpredictable and terrifying thousand-year-old Gu worm. Although Zhao Wenyuan knew his details, he was not clear about these deeds, so he was immediately attracted by the sound.
Qian Qingqing was also listening, but upon hearing what Ye Xiaotian said, it was as if a thunderbolt struck her head, and she was stunned. Ye Xiaotian could talk to this wife, but it would be impolite to glance at her from time to time, so he only focused on Zhao Wenyuan, so he didn't notice her expression.
Qian Qingqing never expected to hear such news from Ye Xiaotian, and the mystery of Bai Xiaoxiao's disappearance was finally solved. Although she had long felt that Bai Xiaoxiao was in danger, but at this moment she heard with her own ears...
Qian Qingqing sat in the chair, her face pale as paper, if she hadn't clasped the arms of the chair tightly with both hands, it would have been difficult to maintain such a dignified sitting posture.
"So that's how it is, so it is, Xiaoxiao... died at his hands..."
Qian Qingqing just ignored that it was Yang Yinglong who sent Bai Xiaoxiao to hunt down Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er, and that she stepped on those millennium bugs by mistake when sneaking near at midnight, and was eaten into a bone by the bugs. Jun did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. In her heart, Ye Xiaotian was the murderer who killed Bai Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaotian recalled the thrilling scene back then, and deliberately described to Zhao Wenyuan how terrifying that strange Gu worm was. He still had a lingering fear when he said it, and he listened to it clearly, thinking of Bai Xiaoxiao's tragic scene at that time, only I feel like a knife is cutting my heart.
After listening to Ye Xiaotian's thrilling narration, Zhao Wenyuan let out a long breath, and praised: "Your brother is really blessed, if it wasn't for that white girl who died for you, I am afraid that you will be poisoned by Gu insects in your sleep. As the saying goes If you survive a catastrophe, you will surely have a future blessing, no wonder my virtuous brother will be able to have smooth sailing and no disadvantages from now on."
Qian Qingqing also smiled slightly at this time, and said: "It's no wonder that it is no wonder that a man can give up his own life for a woman, how can it not make people fall in love with him. What's more, the county magistrate is a good-looking talent, young and promising, just It will be difficult for you to choose what to do now.”
In this short period of time, Qian Qingqing returned to her normal expression, chatting and laughing with Yanyan, but she didn't see any abnormality at all, the hatred had been deeply buried in her heart.
On that day, Ye Xiaotian hosted a banquet in honor of Zhao Yicheng and his wife, with Yaoyao and Duo Ni as companions. When the banquet was over, Ye Xiaotian sent the couple out of the house, and the two walked down the mountain with their entourage. Halfway through the journey, they quietly said to Zhao Wenyuan: "Please find a reason to let me live in Ye's house in a legitimate way." go."
Zhao Wenyuan said in surprise: "Why is this? Oh! Could it be... Don't you always dislike this discussion?"
Qian Qing said coldly: "This time, that time, you just do it!"
With a faint and stern air, against that elegant and vulgar face, it is like a manju sand flower, swaying on the other side of Huangquan...
