Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

Not long after they had finished their breakfast, they heard that someone from the Xu family had come.

Fu Shuiyao turned her head to look at Xu Qionghua, and the other party just happened to look over. Although she was still full of grievances, she was not as resistant as she was at first.

It was Xu Zhengde and his wife who came, which shows how much they value their daughter. When they entered the yard, they saw the cloth strips wrapped around her head and legs, with traces of blood oozing from them. The couple immediately panicked. Because when I sent people there in the morning, they only said that they were in Tongzhuang, and did not mention the attack.

When Xu Zhengde saw that Fu Shuiyao appeared here, he was surprised for a while, but he still couldn't match his concern for his daughter, so he left her and turned around to ask what was going on.

Mrs. Xu held Xu Qionghua and cried for a while. Fu Shuiyao on the side told what happened yesterday. Hearing that her daughter was beaten and kicked by a few refugees and almost ruined her innocence, the couple's eyes were tearing and they scolded endlessly. I can't wait to send people to find those refugees to pick up their skin and eat their meat.

Fu Shuiyao said: "Lingqianjin was burdened by the dam incident that year. This matter has been incomprehensible for a day, and such things will continue to happen in the future."

Xu Zhengde's knees suddenly softened, and he almost sat on the ground.

"If I knew that something like this would happen today, I wouldn't have sold that batch of materials if I was killed. Big, but that little official has been pressing down on my price, and my overall harvest is no more than that of the loose sellers, and I will be charged with such a crime after so many years, I never expected." Xu Zhengde felt regretful in his heart. endlessly.

Fu Shuiyao sneered: "Isn't Liu Chengye your in-laws, why don't you have soup for yourself if you eat meat?"

As soon as Liu Chengye was mentioned, Xu Zhengde couldn't help but yelled: "Don't mention that old boy, he said that the introducer came to buy materials with me back then, but he never gave any profit. For the sake of giving money to him, do you have such an in-law? Now that something like this happened, I came to look for him, and the father and son sang and made trouble, asking me to marry Qiong'er as a concubine, and it almost drove me to death."

Fu Shuiyao asked: "Since there is a solution to the matter, is Boss Xu planning to send his daughter away for the future of the Xu family?"

When Xu Zhengde heard Fu Shuiyao's question, he immediately understood why his precious daughter ran away from home. He turned his head and glanced at Xu Qionghua, and found that although the other party was not looking this way, he seemed to be listening. Movement here.

He hurriedly said: "No, no, absolutely nothing. Xu would rather not open the door to do business in the future, and would not do such a thing as selling a girl for glory."

Fu Shuiyao didn't comment, but Xu Qionghua who was sitting on the stone bench breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who was it that went to you to buy materials back then?" Fu Shui Yao continued to ask.

"It's a small official under Liu Chengye, accompanied by Zhang Guofu."

"What is the name of the little official?"

"It looks like he is called Zhang Huan. I don't know what his position is. I just heard Zhang Guofu call him Mr. Zhang."

After hearing Xu Zhengde's words, Fu Shuiyao murmured to herself, "Zhang Huan? So it was him, did you sign the contract at that time?"

"Such a large order should have been signed. At that time, I handed it over to the shopkeeper to handle it. I had to go back and look through it. Did Miss Fu have any clues?" Xu Zhengde asked expectantly.

"Not yet, but thanks to Boss Xu for providing the information." Fu Shuiyao didn't reveal anything.

Xu Zhengde and his wife wanted to take Xu Qionghua back, but they were strongly resisted by the person concerned, and Mingrou who was beside him hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Uncle Xu, why don't you let Huazi stay in Tongzhuang for a few days, it's comfortable to live here, just right You can relax, and there will be no messy people to harass."

If it was before, Xu Zhengde and his wife would not have listened to her request, but now the name of the Ming family has spread throughout Pingle County, and the name of the young lady of the Ming family is also being used by people from time to time. As the saying goes, no matter whether these things are done deliberately or wrongly, even the county magistrate is speaking for them now, and donating five thousand shi of grain is not a decision that ordinary businessmen can make.

Outsiders don't know Ye Qiuniang, they only think that it is Ming Rou who is the teacher, Xu Zhengde also knows the situation of the Ming family, now that Ming Rou can stand up to challenge Du Xian, it can be seen that her strength should not be underestimated, not to mention that her precious daughter followed Ming Rou's business earns a few hundred taels, almost catching up with the income from the family's material business. They already knew that the girl in front of them should not be underestimated. Seeing her speak out for Xu Qionghua, the couple looked at each other With a glance, Mrs. Xu said to her daughter cautiously, "Qioner, how long do you want to stay?"

"want!"

"How about the stepmother come to pick you up in three days?"

"No, at least half a month." Xu Qionghua said firmly.

Mrs. Xu has never been away from her daughter for so long, just about to say no, she heard Ming Rou said: "Auntie, it's not good for Hua Zi to live in Tongzhuang. There are people guarding everywhere here. I can still take her out to relax. If I go back for a whole day It would be bad for Tianzhai to get sick from boredom in the house, besides, if you can't bear to part with her, you can live with her, since there are plenty of rooms in Zhuangzi anyway."

Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at her husband when she saw Xu Zhengde nodded and said, "That's all right, you can stay for a few days, and if you are not used to it, then let someone go back and let us know, and your father and I will come pick you up again." .”

Only then did Xu Qionghua agree indiscriminately, urging them to go back quickly, and the couple walked away without turning their heads.

Watching her parents disappear at the door, Xu Qionghua lowered her head and wiped her eyes, muttering, "Rou Rou, I want to eat fried snails tonight."

-------------------------------------

With the end of the disaster, the lives of the people have been gradually restored. The Yamen has been busy with the resettlement of the victims. For the villages that have been flooded, those who can temporarily go back to live will go home to resume production. If they are really homeless, they will be resettled. When they arrive at the refugee camp, the yamen will continue to provide them with food and clothing, three meals a day.

The security patrols in the city were tightened, the shops on the street began to reopen, and Ming Rou's rouge shop also resumed business. Most people's lives began to return to the state before the disaster, and hundreds of new graves appeared in the wasteland outside the city. , showing how tragic the disaster was.

Yu Fei was the same as before, busy among several branches of Mingyan Rouge Gouache Store. This day at the main store, she had just packed up her things and was about to go home after closing time, but when she went out, she saw a slender and tall girl not far from the door. figure turned away from oneself

She quickly lowered her eyebrows and passed by the man as if she didn't see it, but the moment she passed by, her wrist was tightly clenched.

"I didn't expect to come here."

The woman's voice is cold and seems to have no warmth, but those who are familiar with her can find that the woman is already trying to slow down her voice.

Yu Fei sighed lightly: "Your official traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Pingle, presumably he didn't come here for Yu Fei."

"You don't need to worry about why I came here, but you have to know that I can always find you."

The woman turned around, her delicate but stern face, coupled with her aggressive eyes, made it hard to look directly at.

"I'm just a commoner, why bother to find me," Yu Fei said without even looking at her, she broke away from Zhang Zhen's hand and walked towards her home.

Yu Fei rented a small yard near the west of the city to live. When she arrived at the door of her house, she didn't rush in. Instead, she walked towards the house of Mrs. Yao next door. Just as she knocked on the door, she heard a rattling sound.

"Mother—you're back."

Yu Fei bent down and opened her arms, the little girl rushed towards her with excitement.

"Are you hungry? Mother will go back and cook for you. Cook fish tonight."

"I'm not very hungry. Just now the third mother-in-law fried pancakes and ate a pancake. Her belly is round." The little girl grabbed Yu Fei's hand, touched her belly, and giggled after being hugged by Yu Fei earned it.

"Miss Yu is back." Mistress Yao said towards the door holding her grandson.

Yu Fei came to Pingle a few years ago with a one-year-old child. She didn't know where her husband had gone. She only said that the child belonged to her, but she didn't look like a person who had given birth. It's not easy to inquire, I only know that her name is Yu Fei, so I simply call her Miss Yu directly.

It's just that Yu Fei looks good, but she looks poor and white, doing odd jobs everywhere, and no one looks at the child during the day, and it happens that there is a third wife Yao near the rented house who is also taking care of her grandchildren, after Yu Fei entrusts the child to her to take care of Finally, I was able to find a decent job, and now the life of the mother and daughter has begun to stabilize.

"Well, I'm back, thanks to the third mother-in-law, I'll take Lanlan back."

"Go, the little guy just played in the water, you go back and change her clothes."

After Yu Fei responded, she took Yu Jinglan's hand and walked towards her small courtyard.

Back home, the yard door was unlocked, Yu Fei didn't show any surprise on her face, she pushed the door open lightly, and sure enough, the woman at the door of the shop was sitting in the yard at this time, as if she was the owner of this house Scholars.

Yu Fei understood Zhang Zhen's temperament, so she didn't bother to talk to her, went straight into the house, changed her daughter's clothes, and let her play in the yard by herself, while she went into the kitchen to make dinner.

In the yard, the little Yu Jinglan looked at the woman with an unsmiling face in front of her, and timidly went around her to get her little plaything, but when she saw the woman bent down to look at her, she was startled and stepped back. Xiaobu looked at her with some fear and said, "Who are you?"

"Lanlan, I'm my aunt."

"aunt?"

"Your mother's younger sister is your aunt." Zhang Zhen was persuasive and persuasive.

"Mother's younger sister?" Yu Jinglan looked at the kitchen with some uncertainty.

Zhang Zhen tried her best to make her voice softer: "It's not this mother, it's another mother."

Yu Jinglan suddenly became a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "Lan Lan has another mother?"

"Well, you just need to know that I'm an aunt." Zhang Zhen wanted to reach out to touch the child, but was avoided by Yu Jinglan, and she dropped her hand resentfully.

The child didn't want to get close to her, Zhang Zhen felt bored, turned her head to look at the stove room, the roof was filled with smoke, and through the door, she could see the raging fire burning in the stove. The person who used to be full of poems and books was always spotless Now, with his head bowed and his back bowed, he is busy between the stoves, flipping the dishes on the stove with his hands and feet, which adds a bit of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Zhang Zhen's back, which was always straight, relaxed a little, leaning on the back of the chair, staring in the direction of the kitchen.
