Red House Farm Stay

Seeing what they said, Ban'er thought about how bad it was for him to leave like this.So he simply stayed in the yard and wanted to sit with them.

Jia Zhuo smiled and pushed him, "You're such an adult, what's the point of sitting outside, Qing'er is with me. Besides, am I the kind of person who allows others to bully me?"

"You're not." Ban'er laughed himself after he finished speaking.

Li Xiaojia slipped out of the bride's room halfway, she was not in the mood, stayed here with a bitter face, and simply left early.

"Brother Ziwen." Seeing Yuan Ziwen, Li Xiaojia immediately lifted her spirits, and her heart jumped for joy. Brother Ziwen must have come to find her and explained to her, it must be true.

"Xiao Jia, why did you come out so soon?" Yuan Ziwen responded with a smile without doubting him.

"There are too many people in the room, I can't breathe. You still know to come to me, I thought you only had the cousin girl from the Wang family in your eyes." Li Xiaojia's tone was obviously coquettish.

Yuan Ziwen didn't feel anything before, but today he felt different. He scratched his hair and said annoyedly: "The Wang family is my guest, don't talk like that."

"You are still protecting her. She is the one who embarrasses me, and the villain complained first. Whose side are you on? Tell me clearly." Li Xiaojia became more and more annoyed as she hopped her feet and yelled.

"Don't be rude, okay?" Yuan Ziwen scratched his hair in annoyance, "Stop making trouble, I have something else to do."

Li Xiaojia didn't wait here specially to see her, Li Xiaojia became more and more angry, pointed at his nose and said, "Tell me, what's going on with you and Jia Zhuo."

Yuan Ziwen frowned and looked left and right. Fortunately, no one was passing by at this time, otherwise Wang Tianzuo would beat him to death if someone heard it and spread it.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about what you are doing with these things."

"You, you, you..." Li Xiaojia couldn't yell out that she wanted to marry him, so she had to force him to ask, "If you want to marry her, your parents won't agree. The Wang family was originally an outsider, and she was just a cousin of the Wang family." Girl. She is simply using you, so don't be fooled by her. "

"Where did you hear this nonsense, and whoever I marry doesn't care about you, it has nothing to do with you."

"And, it has nothing to do with me..." Li Xiaojia was angry and looking forward to it all day long, but it was this sentence that made her most sad.What does it mean to have nothing to do with her? Doesn't he know what he wants at all?Doesn't he know anything about the tacit understanding between the two families?

Li Xiaojia staggered away, but Yuan Ziwen heaved a sigh of relief, remembering what he had to do, and hurried to the opposite place.

Jia Zhuo liked this kind of excitement very much. It was as if he had traveled through thousands of years for no reason, and came among them to watch the most important day belonging to ordinary people.

There are not so many constraints and rules in the life of ordinary people in the market, but it is full of the most authentic popularity, which greatly inspires her.Let her believe that one day, she will truly integrate into them and live the same life as them.

"The food is here, everyone, sit down quickly." They were all about the same table as them, and the half-grown girls started chattering non-stop since they sat down.

The master's craftsmanship is nothing to say, and the cold dishes alone make people's index fingers move.

"Auntie Yuan's family is really willing. My mother said that she invited a chef from a big restaurant. It's really delicious."

"Here comes the soup." Someone from the next table called out.

Someone brought the soup, but they didn't serve it from the side that was specially reserved, but turned it to Jia Zhuo's side.

This is not surprising, there are so many people today, and sometimes it is too busy, and other people can't figure out the rules if they stand up temporarily.

The person who served the soup planned to put the soup on the table from the middle of the seats where Jia Zhuo and Qing'er were sitting.Unexpectedly, he stumbled and the whole person rushed forward.

Naturally, the soup in his hand flew out, and the direction happened to be towards Jia Zhuo's face. If the boiling soup splashed on it, the pretty girl would be disfigured in an instant.A person who eats at a table keeps his eyes on the dishes, and few of them realize that something big is about to happen around them.

Jia Zhuo didn't notice either, she was putting vegetables into Qing'er's bowl, "I didn't expect there to be such a big river prawn, try to see if it's fresher than the prawn cakes made from small shrimps."

"It's so fresh." Qing'er nodded straight after eating.

Jia Zhuo was smiling, she was turning her face sideways at this moment, the corner of her skirt caught a touch of water blue from the corner of her eye, and the weed grass on it swayed slightly with the corner of the skirt.

With the exclamation of the person who was tripped, the soup bowl came out of his hands, and then the people at the dinner table exclaimed, and a few timid ones were already so frightened that they couldn't even move except screaming.

Then there was a loud noise, and everyone was done thinking about it, and some people closed their eyes, not daring to look at it.The woman's screams and angry shouts came one after another, hey, why is there no cry of pain from the victim.Being drenched in soup, I can imagine how painful it must be.Could it be that he passed out, could he be dead?

After everyone reacted, they saw the Mu in front of them, which was so weird that people couldn't speak.

Jia Zhuo was standing on the edge of the table, holding the round stool behind his back. The soup bowl must have hit the round surface of the stool, and then fell to the ground, smashed to pieces.The soup went all the way from the stool to the ground, and even splashed a lot on other people's clothes.

And a girl was trying to get up from the ground, looking at Jia Zhuo with resentment.

"Sister Xiaojia." Almost everyone who was eating at the table didn't know Li Xiaojia. Even if she took off her hair and covered her body with a coarse blue flower bikini, she could still tell that she was Li Xiaojia.

"What happened, what's going on here?" There was such a big commotion outside, many people ran out, especially the board who had been staring at the commotion outside, rushed out almost immediately.

Of course, there was also Li Xiaojia's mother who rushed out from the side room on the other side.

"Oh, it may be that the Yuan family doesn't have enough girls, so this girl is kind enough to help. It's a pity that her eyes are high and her hands are low. She obviously has rice and doesn't want to serve it, but she wants to serve hot soup. Now it's over, let's sprinkle it all."

With a joking tone, Jia Zhuo comforted the Yuan family who rushed over.

"It's just a disservice to be kind, but don't delay everyone's drinking for us."

Jia Zhuo put down the stool, pulled Qing'er aside, and said to Yuan Ziwen who was half drunk after hearing the news: "My sister and I got dirty clothes, so we will go back first, thank you for your hospitality."

Ban'er walked with them as a matter of course, but was pushed back by Jia Zhuo, "If you leave, it seems that we have resentment in our hearts. We are not the ones who are ugly now, so why bother to be stingy."

"How can I rest assured that the two of you are going alone." Ban'er refused.

"Can't we take the car in front of you?" Jia Zhuo coaxed a few more words before pushing the board in.

Yuan Ziwen, who followed them all the way to the door, but didn't speak, finally opened his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, he exhaled a smell of alcohol, which made the two girls' house smoked, and they immediately stepped back a few steps.

"I'll give you an explanation for this matter, you, you have to trust me." Yuan Ziwen mustered up the courage to look up at Jia Zhuo, trying to find affirmation of himself from her eyes.

Jia Zhuo frowned, and before she could speak, Ban'er's face turned cold, "Yuan Ziwen, you'd better be sober, our Wang family is also a family of etiquette. If you have anything to tell her, she doesn't need you either." explain."

"What Baner said is what I want to say. No matter what misunderstanding you have with Li Xiaojia, please don't bring it on me. I ask myself if I have done anything to misunderstand you, let alone lead you to promise me What. It's annoying to be misunderstood by others for not doing anything, if you pour me another basin of dirty water, I will never forgive you."

Jia Zhuo took Qing'er's hand and went out. Ban'er hired a carriage for them, and after thinking about it, he took the initiative to stay. He had to keep an eye on Yuan Ziwen, lest he say anything unfavorable to Jia Zhuo.Thinking of this, Ban'er regretted more and more, he shouldn't have been afraid of being pestered by him in the first place, and agreed to let him go home with him.

"Whose family is that little girl, she looks a bit kind." A middle-aged scribe in a dark green gown asked the people around him.

"This was invited by Ziwen. It seems that his classmates brought a few younger sisters over to play. The little girls are upset when they get together. Don't worry about us coming to drink." The greeter glanced at it and said relaxedly.

"That's right, for women, comparisons are just clothes and jewelry. Even a piece of jewelry that is inferior to a person can make you angry for three days. It's unreasonable, unreasonable." The middle-aged scribe echoed and raised his wine glass.

To a man who drinks, this matter is hardly worth mentioning.But when it comes to women, the meaning is completely different.The lady of the Li family picked up her daughter, held her hand with a frosty face, and left.

The mistress of the Yuan family, who was also Yuan Ziwen's own mother, called Yuan Ziwen and Wang Tianzuo to the front, first made an apology to Wang Tian, ​​and asked someone to bring out two horses of good clothes.

"I heard that your sisters' clothes were all stained. This is a small gesture of my heart. Bring them to them for me, and I will make amends for them."

"The younger generation doesn't dare. It was originally given by the elders and dare not resign, but if the word apology is mentioned, how dare the younger generation accept it? Even if the parents know it, they will definitely scold the younger generation for being ignorant. It was a misunderstanding, Miss Li It's just a bad thing done with good intentions, there is no crime between children, let alone apologizing."

After Wang Tianzuo said this, the mood of being the mistress of the Yuan family improved a lot.Looking at her son, how could she not understand his son's thoughts with his head drooping, but the Yuan and Li families had a tacit understanding.For the Yuan family, getting married with the Li family is not only a good match, but also an integration of the resources of the two families.

"Sure enough, he is a sensible child, better than our family's Ziwen, he is still a child."

Jia Zhuo is a child, and Yuan Ziwen is also a child, which means that both sides have expressed their attitudes.

After Wang Tianzuo left, Mother Yuan called her youngest son to her side, and said solemnly: "Your brother's big business has been done, and it's your turn. While your brother is at home, let's have a good time and invite the matchmaker to Li's house." Propose marriage."

"I don't want to propose marriage for whom, and for whom." Yuan Ziwen still doesn't understand why this matter involves him to be engaged.

"Yuan Ziwen, you are not a child anymore, you should calm down. This is a tacit understanding between the two adults, and there is no place for you to intervene."

"Isn't it Li Xiaojia's uncle who is an official in Jinling? My elder brother has a bright future and doesn't need help from others."

Seeing the innocent face of the youngest son, Yuan's mother patted her chest, trembling with anger, "Marriage is a major matter, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, you just need to know. Go out and help your brother entertain guests."

"Auntie..."

"Go out, today is a good day for your brother, do you want to make the Yuan family a laughing stock today?"

"Yes." Yuan Ziwen lowered his head helplessly, his footsteps were no longer as brisk as before.

When Baner went back, he saw that the two girls were picking peppers in the backyard as if nothing had happened.Jia Zhuo asked Qing'er with the chili pepper, "Is it getting hotter and hotter?"

"Yeah, why?" Qing'er still remembered that the first time she ate colored peppers, it wasn't that spicy.

"It really is an atavism phenomenon." Jia Zhuo shook the pepper in his hand and said softly.

"You're back. There's hangover tea hanging on the table, hurry up and drink a bowl." Jia Zhuo raised his head and saw Ban'er coming back, and immediately raised the corners of his lips to greet him with a smile.

"As soon as I entered the door, I was grabbed by A Niang and drank a bowl." Ban'er took the basket and went to the kitchen.

On the way, he whispered to Jia Zhuo: "Brother Yuan said he was serving wine outside for a few days, so he also invited me."

"Yuan Ziwen's wild thoughts are his own business. I believe that after today, people from the Yuan family will control him. You and him are classmates, and you will inevitably deal with each other. Why make things complicated. Besides, the girl from the Li family will not marry him. , who can I marry?"

Jia Zhuo smiled. What Li Xiaojia did today was watched by so many people. Anyone who is not a fool knows what she wants to do.If the Yuan family really wanted to, they would hurry up to propose marriage at this time, and the Li family would still accept their love.Otherwise, the two families will become enemies.

"It's fine if you think there's nothing to do, you brat, just let him give up." In fact, Ban'er had warned Yuan Ziwen a long time ago, but every time he fooled around with a smile on his face, he didn't admit anything, and Ban'er didn't agree. It's hard to go too deep.

"He didn't cross the line, and he didn't propose marriage. We can't refuse just because he comes here often. We don't have to say that we are affectionate." Jia Zhuo couldn't laugh or cry, "Go to the social gatherings that should be done."

Jia Zhuo didn't take it seriously at all, but Yuan Ziwen didn't. After seeing off the guests at home, his brother and sister-in-law entered the bridal chamber, but he knelt in his parents' room and refused to get up.

"Father, Auntie, my son really likes Jia Zhuo and wants to marry her. He doesn't want to marry anyone but her."

"You like her, don't you just like her being beautiful. When you marry Xiaojia and come in, Mother will find you a few beautiful maids to serve you. You have to understand that beautiful girls are everywhere, except for beautiful girls. what else."

"The son admitted that at first he just thought she was beautiful, and wanted to get close to her, and he didn't have any unreasonable thoughts. But, later, the son couldn't tell why, but when he thought of never seeing her again, his heart began to ache. gone."

Yuan Ziwen looked confused. It might not be true that he fell in love with Jia Zhuo at first sight, but every time he saw him, he felt that this feeling had accumulated an extra layer in his heart.Gradually, his heart was heavy with Jia Zhuo's shadow, and he could no longer tolerate others.

"Don't even think about it. If the Wang family is worse, I won't object to giving you a concubine. But the Wang family is not that poor, and the ancestors have been officials in the capital anyway. Besides, you haven't heard that Wang Tianzuo is a concubine at all. Have you been rejected directly?"

Yuan's mother felt that her son was simply messing around and refused to compromise at all.

Yuan Ziwen was regretting, if he had known this would happen, he should have expressed his feelings long ago.He thought he still had time, as long as Jia Zhuo gradually developed a good impression of him, and then asked his mother to propose marriage, his wish could be fulfilled.

Unexpectedly, his parents had already established a tacit understanding with the Li family. Everyone knew that he would marry Li Xiaojia in the future, and it seemed that Li Xiaojia knew it too.Only he doesn't know that he is still foolishly trying to please Jia Zhuo, imagining that after he has achieved fame, he will ride a tall horse and marry her home.

No wonder Wang Tianzuo warned him, no wonder Jia Zhuo avoided him, it turned out that everyone could see it, only he didn't know anything.

Yuan Ziwen, who was held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, encountered the most important setback in his life, and got into a dead end.

In the end, it was his father's words, which sent him to hell again, "Don't expect him to get any fame. When discussing with the Li family, he said that he hoped that they would get married soon. As a man, if you become a relative, you will naturally calm down." gone."

Mother Yuan nodded, "I think so too."

"If you don't go down, I'll get angry just looking at it here." Yuan's father finally said a word to his son.

Yuan Ziwen stood up with a dull face.

Yuan Ziwen didn't come to the school for a few days, and no one took it seriously. His elder brother rarely came back, so he should stay for more company.Some people laughed and teased him, he is a newlywed, will he be hated to death by his new sister-in-law if he stays at home.

The Wang family rented a table at a wonton stand on the wharf. Every morning, Wang Gou'er drove the mule cart to send Mrs. Liu to the wonton stand with jars of pickled sauce. manpower.Mrs. Liu stayed on guard for most of the day. After Wang Gou'er finished his business, he went to pick Mrs. Liu home together.

Manpower was freed up, Qing'er embroidered, and Jia Zhuo did housework.Early in the morning, when the family had breakfast and went out, she washed clothes in the yard.

Just after washing for a while, I heard a knock on the door outside.

She wiped her hands, went to open the door, and frowned when she saw someone coming.

"What are you here for?"

It was actually Li Xiaojia who was standing at the door. She had a haggard face, trying her best to hide her hatred, but she still leaked her feelings from every expression.

"Can you tell brother Ziwen that everyone is looking for him, and if he doesn't show up, he will really report to the authorities. At that time, everyone will look bad, and you will not end well."

Jia Zhuo's mouth suddenly opened so that an egg could be stuffed in, what does this mean.

"Yuan Ziwen disappeared? Missing?" Jia Zhuo couldn't believe it.

"Why do you ask why you know it?" Li Xiaojia said angrily, she was sure that Jia Zhuo knew Yuan Ziwen's whereabouts, so she didn't tell anyone, and found it by herself.

"Then you go to report to the officials, let the guards come to our house to search and see if you can find your brother Ziwen." Jia Zhuo went to close the door, and for the sake of Yuan Ziwen's disappearance, she didn't care about Li Xiaojia. up.

"You really don't know?" Li Xiaojia looked at her suspiciously, still not believing it.Lifting his feet and walking in, he pressed his arms against the courtyard door, refusing to go out.

"Do you think it's important whether you believe it or not? Yuan Ziwen is missing. I will tell my brother to see if he knows where Yuan Ziwen likes to go, and he will help find it. Besides, I don't think his disappearance has anything to do with us."

Of course, it is impossible for Jia Zhuo to be completely indifferent to Yuan Ziwen's disappearance, but it will only make it worse if she shows concern now.

"You are too cruel. Do you know that he went to beg Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan for you, but he was still so calm. What is so good about you? Why does he like you?" Li Xiaojia just knew Yuan Ziwen When he disappeared, he passed out directly.When she woke up, she clamored to go out to look for it, but no matter how many people the two families sent out, of course she would not be allowed to cause trouble.

It was so easy that everyone didn't pay attention, so she ran to Wang's house and saw Jia Zhuo's expression, she knew that Yuan Ziwen probably didn't come to Jia Zhuo.This made her feel at ease, at least they were not in love with each other, but Jia Zhuo's indifference still annoyed her and made her very, very unhappy.

Jia Zhuo glanced at her coldly, "Maybe it's because I don't accidentally pour hot soup on other people's heads."

"You...you are not well now, but I am grounded by my mother." Li Xiaojia stomped her feet angrily.

Jia Zhuo raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that Yuan Ziwen and Li Xiaojia were really a match made in heaven.Both are spoiled kids, and both love to be self righteous.

"You should be thankful that I'm fine." Jia Zhuo shook his head lightly. If something happened to her, she would die as a backstop.On the surface, she is a soft little girl who can pinch water, but in her heart is a sturdy soul from another time and space.If she was really pushed into a corner, she would of course fight to the death.

"Did he really not come to you? If he came to you..." Li Xiaojia still didn't give up.

Jia Zhuo shrugged, took off her fingers on the door, pushed her out, and closed the door.

Li Xiaojia continued to knock on the door outside, but Jia Zhuo stopped opening the door for her.Both Qing'er and Grandma Liu came out to ask, knowing that Yuan Ziwen was missing, Grandma Liu was very worried and said: "What a good boy, what should I do about this, have you reported to the official yet?"

"Grandma, he is such a big man, can he still lose it? If he is hungry, he will go back naturally." Qing'er didn't care, only felt hypocritical.

"Grandma, it's just like what Qing'er said. Parents give too much, and if they can't give anything, they will be awkward. He soon learned that no matter how painful things are, nothing can compare to the pain of being hungry." Jia Zhuo heard The knock on the door faded away, and he spoke slowly.
