little fool's child bride

"I'm already this old..." Hong Shibao left Hong Shizhen's arms unhappily, and then handed her a cup of scented tea, "Drink some tea to calm down. Sister, why are you always angry at yourself? How can he hurt your body? Distressed? You also know that he took that girl just to continue the incense, after all, it will not threaten the status of sister, if you want me to say, just let him go. "

"Let him go?" Hong Shizhen sneered, "Where have you been reading this book? It's a common practice to guard against the passing of time. Do I fight her again after she gives birth to her son and rides on my face?"

Hong Shibao shook his head: "I mean, this son must be born, but she doesn't have to raise it. She is not in good health, and her sister is a big lady. What's wrong with raising her under her lap? If he If you don’t want to, there is a solution, my sister doesn’t want to fall down before the time comes.”

"Say something nonsense." Hong Shizhen shook his head, took a sip of tea, but felt that his anger had subsided a lot.The younger brother is right, she doesn't need to quarrel with the master at this time, it's not good for her.At this time, she suddenly thought of the male daughter-in-law who entered the door at the same time as the concubine. At that time, the master didn't even take the tea because he was disgusting. I don't know what happened now?

Xiao Xiao, who was being missed by the eldest lady, was chatting with Tokuko at this time.At that time, half of the dinner in the kitchen was called in for questioning. Xiao Xiao, who didn't know when they would come back, could only go back and talk to the little fool before going back and waiting.

"I've been sick for almost half a month. I was supposed to be back two days ago, but housekeeper Li said I was sick and refused to let me come. I heard that it was very lively that day. Did you come then?" Dezi asked boredly. Looking at Martian, "I heard that the second young master married a male wife, but unfortunately I'm not here, and I don't know what she looks like."

"They're all covered, how can you see it?" Xiao Xiao didn't want to talk about this, so she quickly changed the subject: "I heard that the second lady sold herself as a slave, do you know about it?"

Dezi suddenly cheered up: "How can I not know? To put it bluntly, people's lives are different! None of us served in the long courtyard, but when they were thirteen or fourteen years old, they were brought in as soon as they said they were brought in." , Said it was a combination of horoscopes, and even did not even do the work, and married the second young master smoothly in a few days. Do you think that the second young master is...or is it all up to him in the future?"

"It's impossible to marry if you say you are married. How did the master agree?"

"If you don't agree, you will die!"

Dezi said mysteriously: "Last month when the master was going to be buried, a monk blocked the door and refused to let him go, saying that if he was buried with resentment, he would become a living corpse, and if he came back, he would kill everyone in the courtyard...Of course the young master doesn't believe it, so I'll give you a chance." They paid some money and drove them away, and then the master left a sentence, saying that if they were buried, the pool in the backyard would dry up that night, the chickens and ducks in the kitchen would die, and the baby would cry at night in the master's room. Guess what! It's all come true!"

"The young master was guarding these places at night in order to prevent people from taking the opportunity to make trouble. We went to the master's room if we were brave enough. Nothing happened in the first half of the night. We and Xiangzi said that we would take turns to watch the night. It happened to be our turn." While we were sleeping, suddenly there was the sound of a baby crying!"

Dezi shuddered, and seemed to recall what happened that night: "We asked Xiangzi, and Xiangzi said that he heard it. Xiangzi said that if someone frightened them outside, he would open the door. As a result, he walked around in the yard, No one was found, but the crying seemed to be in my ears, getting louder and louder, we both ran away when we couldn't take it anymore."

"What about the others?"

"I didn't know until the next day that those two places were also fulfilled. The young master hurriedly sent someone to look for the monk, but it was as if the world had evaporated, and no one had seen it! In the evening, a letter was suddenly pasted on the gate, and four None of the five people knew how they were posted, and after showing it to the young master, he heard that the young master's face changed at that time."

"The letter said that if you want to solve the problem, you don't need to dig the grave and choose a new location for the burial, but you must celebrate the happiness, and it must be a double happiness. The two young masters must marry the person on the letter. The young master must not marry a man. , this will be given to the second young master."

A monk makes people happy?Xiao Xiao always felt that something was weird, but there was nothing to refute.He doesn't believe in any ghosts or monsters, and he doesn't read any Buddhist scriptures. However, since such things as time travel have happened, he is now somewhat "preferring to believe in something rather than nothing".

"Let's say, marrying the second young master is much better than marrying the eldest young master. Our eldest wife is not a kind person. Mrs. Yuyi has been tortured like this. If it were his man, I'm afraid I would be tossed to death. I won’t make a move. Anyway, if I’m married, the joy will pass..."

"Don't look at the fire, what are you talking to people?" Li Guanshi heard Dezi talking about Da Furen as soon as he entered the door, and immediately scolded him to shut up.As for the second lady who was squatting aside, he pretended not to see it and walked past him to check on the night's food.

Xiao Xiao saw that everyone had returned, so she squatted quietly in the corner waiting for her meal, planning to go out tomorrow in her mind.After pawning the jewelry tomorrow, he will first go to the grain store to solve the problem of white jelly; then find a reliable carpenter to punch out the mold; finally go to the restaurant to have a meal to see the food quality of the place.

"The eldest lady has ordered that there is no need to deliver food tonight, just prepare some snacks." Li Guanshi stopped the eldest lady's food box, and said to himself: "The eldest lady has been very angry recently, so I still need to prepare some soup It's better. But my wife is most annoyed by soup and water, and I'm afraid I won't eat it even if I bring it."

"Let's make some herbal tea," Xiao Xiao was thinking about going out tomorrow, and she took it casually, "Chrysanthemum plus honeysuckle, white ginseng and longan meat, chicken bone grass with red dates, all of them can be used as fire."

"Do you understand medicine?" Hearing the name of the unfamiliar herb, Li Guanshi glanced at Xiao Xiao in surprise, thinking that he might have been an apprentice in a pharmacy when he was thirteen or fourteen, but it was normal.Now the world is peaceful, Ancheng is close to the royal capital in the north, and Jiangnan in the south. How can it be ordinary prosperity?But the rich can't resist natural and man-made disasters, let alone the poor.Here in Lin'an County down here, there is only one epidemic, and there is no one in ten, and the house was burned to the ground. Most of the remaining people went to relatives, and the rest could only find a living in this Ancheng.

The second lady fled from Lin'an County.

At that time the master left and there was a shortage of people in the garden, he went out of the city to buy some from the dentist, Xiao Xiao fell at his feet at that time, begging him to give him a meal.He saw that the man was dressed in rags but had clear eyes. Even though he was a little older, he hesitated and brought him back.But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that she would become the second wife?Li Guanshi glanced at Xiao Xiao complicatedly, feeling hard to understand in his heart.He didn't believe in any gods or Buddhas. When he heard that Xiao Xiao was suitable to be a wife, his first reaction was to fall into someone else's trap.But he didn't have that ability, and he couldn't take care of the old man's affairs, so he could only keep silent and pay attention to Xiao Xiao secretly.

"What pharmacology?" Xiao Xiao looked at Guanshi Li in confusion. He just mentioned some common herbal tea recipes. Could it be that the names of chrysanthemums are different here?

Li Guanshi nodded his head: "Second madam might as well write down the prescription, it would be great if I can get money from the eldest madam."

And rewards?Xiao Xiao immediately agreed, and did not forget to ask the steward for a set of paper and pen, but unfortunately the steward refused to give it to him, and only said that he could dictate without a pen and paper, so Xiao Xiao died down.Carrying the food returned by the eldest lady, Xiao Xiao ate quite satisfactorily, and happily told the little fool about the Three Kingdoms again before falling asleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, he easily climbed over the wall and ran towards his destination.Xiao Xiao only remembered what was written in the book "East Market, West Market", and walked east along the street after leaving the alley.It's just that after walking for almost an hour, the gates of the city were faintly visible, but he still didn't see any pawnshops and grain shops.With dry lips, Xiao Xiao walked in without hesitation when she saw that there was a tea shop in front of her that said three words and one bowl.

"A bowl of tea."

"okay!"

"Oh! You said that because you didn't see it. If you saw it, your eyeballs might fall out!"

Xiao Xiao was bored, the conversation between the two men on the table next to him caught his attention.The man who looked like a scholar continued: "Five carriages ran past, and each carriage was pulled by four horses. I'm afraid the magistrate would not dare to drive like this. Besides the carriage, look at the curtains. It is the finest silk, shining like water waves under the sun; there are four eggs-sized beads embedded in the four corners of the carriage, which look like pearls to me, tsk tsk, I don’t know how much such a carriage costs..."

"That's more than a hundred taels!" The blushed thick man showed envy, "I don't know what kind of fairy is sitting in it."

The scholar immediately smiled when he heard this: "You want to know? I just watched people enter the Hong Mansion."

"It's Miss Hong San?" The man also laughed, "I guess he was chosen, come back and wait for the seal?"

"I know you don't understand," the scholar curled his lips, "She's a beautiful girl, she'll live in the palace once she's chosen, how can she use it back? No, no, there's no third lady sitting in the carriage, she's a handsome young lady! "

"It looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he's full of dignity. I guess he came out of the palace, but I don't know which prince it is." The scholar shook his head, frowning and drinking. tea.The two stopped chatting, and Xiao Xiao finished her tea, so she took out three Wen and handed it to the shopkeeper, and asked where the pawnshops were.

"Is the customer a newcomer to the city? You don't buy things on this street. You have to go to the gate of the city and go south. That's the street that sells things."

It was only then that Xiao Xiao realized that the streets in Ancheng were roughly like a "well" character, with three north-south streets and three east-west streets. The street he was walking on now had residential areas on both sides, so naturally there were no shops to be seen.Sure enough, the further south Xiao Xiao walked, the more lively the voices became.

"The milk cakes from the Western Regions are delicious and sweet. They cost three renminbi each and a pair of five renminbi~"

"Yutian Beef Jerky~I want two for one~"

"Fight grass, fight grass! One penny becomes ten penny, and ten penny becomes one tael!"...

Xiao Xiao looked here and there like a country bumpkin, wishing to try every snack on the street.When others saw that he was well dressed, they didn't push him away, they just secretly laughed at the little son of the family, who was so ignorant.Xiao Xiao was shy and busy, so when she saw the flag of the pawn shop, she stopped staying and hurried in.
