Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 96
It's winter now, and it gets dark early.After You hour, the sky gets a little dark.
The child turned into the courtyard and hid behind the pile of debris. After a while, he saw oil lamps lit up in the main room and the side room.
Even if the lights are on, the child who was taken away may be in those two houses.
After dark, the temperature outside the house dropped a little.The child shivered from the cold, and sneaked to the back of the main house while there was no one in the courtyard.
Looking in through the somewhat dim window, he saw the scene inside the house.
In the huge main room, seven children sat on the ground around a brazier, all wearing new shoes on their feet, and brand new jackets on their bodies.
Their faces were much fairer, with a touch of rosiness, and they were talking quietly.
Two women were sitting in the house, arranging a pile of new clothes and shoes on the ground.
One of them said to the other: "Who are these young masters? Why are they so rich? They take care of these children with good food and drink, and buy such good clothes for them?"
"Who knows." The woman said: "How can we understand the thoughts of this rich and noble family. But they are kind-hearted, and they gave us money. If such a good deed is done, it will be rewarded."
The children outside the house were startled when they heard this, could it be that those people just now were really doing good deeds?
However, he didn't see his cousin in the house, so he couldn't confirm it.Then he slipped away quietly, and headed towards the side house again.
The side room was full of sick children, there were only five of them in all.
The child looked in from the back window, and sure enough, he saw his cousin Douer sitting inside.
Dou'er was seriously ill, coughing for several months, and only a handful of bones remained.
At this time, he was wearing a thick jacket, sitting beside the charcoal basin, although he was still coughing non-stop, his face was also rosy.
"How can you cough so badly?" Xiaoshu said with a click of his tongue. He walked to Douer's side and touched his forehead with his hand.
As he was speaking, the door of the side room was pushed open.Several servants came in, bringing along the doctor from the county hospital.
Xiaoshu was taken aback, then bowed to the doctor and said, "Doctor, you are willing to come to see the doctor after Chinese New Year. You are truly a bodhisattva."
The doctor smiled slightly and said: "You're welcome, it was Brother Bai who invited me here. Mr. Xie and Brother Bai are willing to take care of these children, they are kind people. I just do my best, and I still have the consultation fee. Take it, it’s just doing what’s in it.”
The doctor exchanged a few words with Xiaoshu, then walked to those children and treated them one by one.
At this time, the child who was peeking out the window was already so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
His family members died of the disease, and he knew how expensive it was to see a doctor.
If it is said that these people have other plans for dressing and eating them, but things like seeing a doctor are a complete waste of money.
As he was thinking about it, his foot slipped and he fell, causing quite a commotion.
"Who is it!" Xie's servant shouted loudly.
Several people rushed out of the house, and after a while, they pulled out a black and dirty child from the back of the house.
"Strong boy?" Dou'er immediately recognized the dark boy as his cousin.
Seeing that they knew each other, Xiao Shu was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help thinking of what Bai Shu had said to him before he left.
He said that if these children were brought here, other children in the dark alley would definitely come to inquire. If you encounter such a child, don't rush to stay.Just let him eat and drink a good meal, and then let him go.
Seeing the captured child at this moment, Xiaoshu couldn't help but feel that Bai Shu had predicted everything so well.
No wonder he didn't take all those children away. I'm afraid he had expected such a scene a long time ago.
Zhuangzi was arrested at this time, his heart pounding, he didn't know how he would be treated.
"This kid is dirty...he has a bad smell all over his body, so I haven't taken him to wash it yet." Xiao Shu pinched his nose and said in disgust.
Then two women took him out and scrubbed him hard.After a while, Zhuangzi was washed out of color before being put back again.
Xiaoshu threw him a jacket and asked him to put it on. Zhuangzi touched the jacket lightly, the lining was made of fine cotton.He had never worn such fine clothes.
When the strong man put on his coat, a woman brought bean porridge for a night and told him to eat it quickly.
Zhuangzi was holding the steaming bean porridge, feeling a little at a loss.
He hadn't had a hot meal for a long time, and this night of bean porridge reminded him of when his family was still there.The heat made his eyes hurt, and made him cry while eating.
When he finished eating, Xiao Shu asked someone to put away the bowl, and said to Zhuangzi, "You have eaten and put on clothes now. It's getting late, so go back."
go back?where?
When he said this, Zhuangzi was taken aback for a moment.His family was ruined long ago, otherwise he would not have come out to wander.
He came from the dark alley, since the little brother said so, let him go back to the dark alley, right?
If you stay in the dark alley all the time, you don't feel anything.But Zhuangzi had just entered this warm environment, and suddenly he was pulled out, and he couldn't get used to it all at once.
Dou'er was a little anxious when he heard this, so he got up and hurriedly said: "Little brother, Zhuangzi is my relative, let him stay!"
Xiaoshu heard the words, but his expression was serious, and he said seriously: "Just now my young master and little brother Bai gave them a chance. You followed, it is your blessing, and if they don't come, it's them." I chose."
"Now I didn't drive him away directly, but let him eat and drink enough, and gave him clothes, which is the most benevolent. If he wants to stay, then I can't be the master. Wait until tomorrow my young master and Bai The little brother is here, let him speak for himself."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but ask someone to send the child out of the door, and also stated that if someone wanted to leave, he could leave with the child himself.
After hearing this, Dou'er stopped making a sound, and retreated to the side of the charcoal basin.
Although he was worried about strong men, he was never foolish enough to bet his own life.
Stay here, have food to eat, clothes to wear, and receive treatment from doctors.Going back to the dark alley is a dead end.
Zhuangzi was sent back to the dark and cold outdoor, and then looked at the warm and bright room, not to mention how envious he was.
He walked away step by step, with nowhere to go, and finally returned to the dark alley.
At this time, in the dark alley, Yulang and the rest of the children huddled around the fire to share the food they had begged for today.
Today is the first day of the new year, and every family is celebrating the festival.Seeing children like them made me feel more kind, so I begged for more food than usual.
As they were sharing, they heard a man rushing in and shouting loudly: "Yulang! Zhuangzi is back!"
As soon as Yulang looked up, he saw Zhuangzi coming in from the dark alley, going to the fire and sitting down.
"Zhuangzi, have you found Dou'er? How are they? They weren't sold by that man, right?"
Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "No, they are doing well, living in a big house with a charcoal basin, eating and drinking, and seeing a doctor."
They couldn't see clearly in the dark, and at this time, everyone was surprised to find that this strong man seemed to be a different person after going out.Not only was his body clean and tidy, but his clothes were also changed.
"Zhuangzi, your clothes are really nice! Where did you get them?" Someone immediately asked.
Zhuangzi then detailed how he followed them to the house and how he was caught.
Someone heard this, and immediately said enviously: "I knew I would go with me. I must have slept in that big house by now, why would I suffer from hunger here?"
He just said this out of emotion, but when everyone heard it, they looked at Yulang one after another.
Just now they actually wanted to go with that brother, but Yulang refused, so they all stayed.
Yulang was also very upset, he still didn't believe it.
Where in this world can there be such fools who raise these lowly embryos for no reason.
At night, someone approached Zhuangzi and said softly to him: "Zhuangzi, that boy asked you to talk to his master. I think it will work. That brother looks like a soft guy, why don't we talk to him tomorrow?" to try it?"
Zhuang Zi also had this intention in the first place, and immediately agreed, and made an appointment to go the next morning, and he must ask that brother to let him stay.
In the early morning, the sky was just getting bright.Zhuangzi got up quietly, and several children stood up vigilantly and followed behind him.
After they got up to leave, Yulang opened his eyes.quietly followed their footsteps.
When Zhuangzi and the others arrived outside the courtyard, they had just woken up inside.
Several women came out with a large pot of porridge, and the aroma wafted out of the courtyard.
So the children's noses smelled sensitively, and the porridge had meat in it.
"It seems to be drinking meat porridge inside..." a child said, smacking his mouth.
The other people's saliva is also secreting crazily. Is there meat porridge to drink?The treatment is really good too!
It was still early at this time, and Bai Shu and the others did not come.
Although the servants and women in the house saw the children outside the house, they didn't dare to let them in easily, so they let them go.
These children didn't leave, they squatted outside the house, waiting for Bai Zhu and the others to come over.
Yulang hid by the side of the road, saw it from a distance, squinted his eyes, turned his head and left.
Xie Huaiyu had something to do today, so he didn't come over.
He asked Xiao Shu to come with Bai Shu, the two of them delayed for a while, and Chen Shi finally arrived at the gate of the house.
As soon as Bai Shu got out of the car, he saw a large circle of children sitting outside the yard.Almost all the ones left in the dark alley yesterday came.
As soon as they saw Bai Zhu, those children rushed up, hugged his clothes and shouted: "Young Master Bodhisattva is reincarnated, please show your kindness and keep us!"
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Xiaoshu hurriedly asked the servants next to him to separate those children from Bai Zhu: "Everyone is dirty, come up and fumble around. If you have something to say, just say it there, don't play tricks on me."
Those children looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then pushed out a representative to speak.
That means Zhuang Zi, wearing the new clothes he got yesterday, looks cleaner than other children.
"My kind brother, yesterday we were ignorant of compliments. We were wrong. You are a very good person. Kindness will be rewarded, so leave us alone." Zhuangzi pleaded.
At such a young age, he is so glib, Bai Shu thought.
However, these children have poor backgrounds, and it is justifiable to be like this now.
Bai Shu didn't want to argue with them, he has led troops for many years, and he has his own way of controlling them, so he said: "I am not staying here for nothing, you can stay, but to help me with work."
The children were taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded one after another. They can do some work, as long as they have food and shelter, it's fine to let them do some work.
So Bai Shu smiled slightly, raised his hand, and agreed to let them stay.
If he forcibly took everyone away yesterday, even though he had good intentions, they would definitely rebound very hard.
How about letting them go for a day like this, let their seeing be believing.
Even if they raised some conditions today, these children did not refuse, on the contrary, they became more obedient.
When the children heard that they could be left behind, they all smiled and were extremely happy.
Only then did Xiao Shu let people put them all in, and asked those women to scrub them well.
"One person is missing." Bai Shu said frowning looking at the figures of those children.
"The leader didn't come." Xiaoshu said, "That kid used to be very good at coming, but I didn't expect him to be stubborn."
"It's nothing, he's a good boy." Hearing this, Bai Shu smiled and said, "I'll go find him."
As he spoke, he walked towards the dark alley, and as expected, he saw Yulang in it, sitting alone by the fire with a tree branch.
As soon as Bai Shu passed by, Yu Lang looked up and saw him.
His expression flickered slightly, and he didn't speak, just lowered his head and stirred the flames with the branch.
"Yulang!" Bai Shu called him.
When Yulang exerted his strength, the branch broke.
"Let's go, you are the only one left. Come with me." Bai Shu said.
"What's your purpose?" Yulang paused, and then said: "I don't believe, how can there be such a person in this world!"
"If you don't believe me, how can you let your companions pass?" Bai Shu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, you will not let you eat and drink for nothing if you follow me, I will make you work for me. "
Although Bai Shu said something that would make Yu Lang do his best, she had crooked eyebrows and a mouthful of white teeth when she smiled, and she looked soft.
Yulang was a little stunned, his face flushed.Clenching his fists, he hesitated for a long time before getting up and said: "My life is worthless, and if you want it, take it."
Bai Shu smiled, he was just talking casually, but this kid actually took it seriously.
On the way back, Baishu was leading Yulang behind him, and the children in the yard cheered when they saw him.
Yulang entered the courtyard and said to the children: "This Bai brother is our great benefactor, why don't you all kneel down and kowtow to him three times."
In the dark alley, Yulang was their leader after all, and he still had some prestige among them.
Those children really knelt down after hearing this, and kowtowed to Bai Zhu in unison.
Among them, Yu Lang knocked the loudest, Bai Shu noticed it and nodded.
Knowing kindness and repaying is a beautiful virtue.These children can have such thoughts, and it is easier to teach them.
The children all took it over, and it was a matter here.
Of course, these children can't be raised for nothing like this, instead, their tempers are spoiled.
Bai Shu placed them here for the time being, and after the end of the year, he would find some people to teach them well.So that they can develop some skills, so that they can support themselves in the future.
After arranging everything, Bai Shu and Xiao Shu left.Only the two servants of the Xie family remained, and they will not return here for the time being.
·
The ninth day of the Lunar New Year is the auspicious day for Wang Mutou to marry Chen Dongqing.
Early in the morning, Chen Dongqing changed into new maroon clothes, and waited at the door before the auspicious time came.
Marriage in the village is not so particular.
What's more, Chen Dongqing and Wang Mutou are married again, and their children are not young anymore.
Chen Dongqing wasn't prepared for the hijab, but he had done a good job of tidying it up, and he seemed much more energetic than usual.
His hair was combed by a maid found from Xie's family. The maid was skillful, so the style of combing was naturally different from the way he did it casually.
There wasn't much decoration on Chen Dongqing's crown, except for a long red ribbon.
Together with the maroon new clothes, it showed his identity as a new wife.
He was standing at the door holding Li'er's hand, and Li'er was also wearing a magenta jacket.
The child is eating well now, and he has gained weight.Coupled with the bonus of temperament after studying, just standing there, white and clean, he looks like a little brother from a rich family.
The auspicious time was approaching, and Chen Dongqing watched from a distance a group of people approaching on the village road.
Wang Mutou walked in front, followed by several bearers and musicians playing Chuichuidada.
Wang Mutou did not know where he found these bearers, and carrying the red sedan chair, he attracted the attention of many people along the way.
How many people use sedan chairs to carry the weddings in this village, let alone a second marriage like his!Chen Dongqing's face became hot, and her heart was very ironed, Wang Mumu really had a heart.
Wang Mutou's wedding reception ceremony was so lively, there must be many villagers who came to watch.
After a while, the entrance of Baiyu Mountain Villa was surrounded by three layers inside and outside.
At this time, Wang Mutou also arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi.He also wore a brand new red suit today.Her hair has been carefully combed, and her body is straight.
His cousin, Mrs. Wang, stood beside her with three children. The children were also wearing bright red clothes. When they saw Li'er, they waved enthusiastically. The children are now playing very well.
Wang Mutou and Chen Dongqing looked at each other across a threshold, and there was some friendship in their eyes.
Because of Daxuan's custom before marriage, they haven't seen each other for three days.
Now that I finally saw her, I realized that Xiao Biesheng was newlywed, but within a few days, I missed him very much.
With a bang, someone rang the gong, and another person sang loudly: "The auspicious time has come, and the bridegroom can go to pick him up!"
Naturally, it is not so easy for the groom to pick up someone.
Xiao Xia smiled and put a brazier in front of the door.Wang Mutou chuckled, and stepped across at once.Naturally, such trivial matters would not bother him.
But how could it be so easy to meet a kiss?
When they got to the door, Xiaochun, Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong blocked the door, including Cook Huang and Xiaoshu.The most important thing is that there is a big Buddha named Baishu sitting at the gate.
Wang Mutou's marriage this time is also hated by his clan's attention, and many people from the Wang family's distant relatives and neighbors came.
But no matter how many people came, with Bai Shu blocking him from behind, these people naturally couldn't break in.
Seeing that the auspicious time was about to pass, Wang Mutou was in trouble, and begged bitterly: "Brother Bai, please do me a favor and let me in quickly!"
Chen Dongqing was also a little anxious, so she ran to Bai Shu and tugged on his sleeve, and whispered to him, "Forget it..."
Then Bai Shu released the water, and asked Wang Mumu to throw some copper coins and break in.
At this time, the two newcomers finally met, but Wang Mutou suddenly bent down and hugged Chen Dongqing.
Chen Dongqing didn't expect him to make such a move, she was startled, so she had time to wrap her arms around his neck.
He was tall and tall, no different from a man, unexpectedly Wang Mutou was not weak, he walked quickly while holding him, and stepped out of Baiyu Villa in one go.
After leaving the gate of Baiyu Villa, Chen Dongqing is his man.
Wang Mutou is usually a coward, but this time when he got married, he was very dignified.
The crowd of onlookers was so excited that they booed for a while, calling for them to kiss each other.
Chen Dongqing's face was hot, and he only said that he was too heavy, and asked Wang Mutou to put him down quickly.
"Not heavy!" Wang Mutou shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm strong!"
When he said this, Chen Dongqing's face became hotter, and the surrounding villagers burst into laughter.
It is said that the second marriage is not as good as the first marriage, but Chen Dongqing and Wang Mumu are really a good match.
Everyone also felt that this marriage was really good.
After Chen Dongqing got into the sedan chair, his dowry was carried out from Baiyu Villa.
The person who sang the dowry for Chen Dongqing was Xiaoshu. He read the items on the dowry list one by one, and the surrounding villagers were dumbfounded.
Such a long dowry list!Chen Dongqing's dowry is really too generous!
Chen Dongqing's dowry was as much as eight loads.
In addition to the betrothal gifts that Wang Mutou sent back intact, there are also a load of cotton, a load of fine fabrics, and various quilts for the bed, worth more than ten taels of silver.
In addition, he also paid 20 taels of silver, three acres of land, and some silver jewelry.The sum of these things is probably as much as 50 taels of silver.
Zhao Er quietly hid behind the crowd, listening to the dowry list, his eyes almost turned red with anger.
If Chen Dongqing hadn't reconciled with him, then all these things would belong to him.
Seeing Wang Mumu commanding the bearer to carry the sedan chair away, he held Li'er in his arms and took him away with him.
Li'er was hugged by Wang Mumu, and leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately, which was much more affectionate than being with her own father.
·
After Chen Dongqing got married, it was difficult to live in Baiyu Villa anymore, so she moved to Wang Mutou's house with Li'er.
His room became vacant, and Bai Shu didn't take it away, but kept it for him, saying that if he was wronged by Wang Mutou, he could come back to live there.
After the Lantern Festival, the weather gradually became warmer, and Lin Shuyu's belly became bigger and bigger.
Xie Huaiyu asked the doctor to come for a consultation every half a month, and the doctor said that Lin Shuyu would give birth in half a month at most.
When Lu Luo got the news, she immediately wrote to Mrs. Xie.
In three days, Mrs. Xie replied to the letter and gave her a gold bracelet, asking her to take good care of him, and to report when the child was born.
A few days later, Lin Shuyu gave birth.
His fetal position is quite upright, and the child is not too big.There is also a doctor administering needles, so the birth is not difficult.
The child fell to the ground, it was a boy.Luluo hugged her and looked at it, her face froze for a moment.
This son... does not look like Lin Shuyu at all, but is carved out of the same mold as Mr. Xie.
Xie Qi looks like his father, and Lin Shuyu's son looks like Xie Qi, so his appearance is naturally similar to that of Lord Xie.
Luluo didn't know the inside story, and thought the child belonged to Xie Huaiyu, but thought it was a bit strange that the child looked neither like his father nor his mother.
But she never expected that Xie Huaiyu would raise a child for her younger brother, and she only thought it was inherited from generation to generation.So I wrote to Mrs. Xie, without mentioning the child's appearance.
In the capital, Mrs. Lou laughed out loud when she received a letter from Lu Luo.
This Xie Huaiyu was a man after all, and he couldn't escape a word of sex after all.
Now that Lin Shuyu has given birth to a child, Xie Huaiyu is a certainty and unable to turn over.
She summoned the maidservant beside her, whispered in her ear for a while, and said: "Let people spread the news, the bigger the trouble, the better. I want to see how Xie Huaiyu can turn around this time!"
March in the south of the Yangtze River is a time when warm flowers bloom and a hundred flowers bloom.
The few acres of peach blossoms planted around Baiyu Villa have all bloomed now.
The entire Baiyu Villa is wrapped in a sea of pink flowers, which is like a dream and has a special interest.
The guests who left in winter gradually returned, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see the peach blossoms.The daily flow of visitors received by Baiyu Mountain Villa is full, and the reservations are all scheduled for ten days later.
Wankang came again, but this time he came for business and did not bring any wishful thinking.
He has already selected a location in Nanyang and opened up the local customs. As long as Baiyu Villa provides technology like this, construction can start in a few days.
After Xie Huaiyu talked with him, he recruited three craftsmen from the capital.
Entrust them with a lot of money, let them go to Nanyang with Wankang, and build the semicolon of Baiyu Villa.
It is to build the semicolon of Baiyu Villa, those craftsmen will naturally have to ask Baishu for advice.
Seeing that Bai Shu led them to discuss the renovation of the villa.
Wan Kang quietly reminded Xie Huaiyu: "I came from the capital this time and heard a lot of messages about you. You and little brother Bai..."
Wan Kang paused, glanced at Bai Shu in the distance, and said, "How can I hear that you have had a baby? I haven't seen that little brother Bai is pregnant?"
"That child is not mine." Xie Huaiyu heard the words, and knew that the Lou family had probably found people in the capital to spread the word.
It's just that Lou's publicity is probably because he didn't expect that the child would be his son's seed in the end.
The expression on Wankang's face was intriguing, as if he didn't believe Xie Huaiyu's words.
Xie Huaiyu sneered in his heart and didn't explain much.He only said clearly to Wankang: "Don't worry, Master Wan, Xie has his own discretion in this matter. It will definitely not affect our cooperation."
Wan Kang smiled and felt relieved.
He is not Wan Ruyi, so he doesn't care how many concubines Xie Huaiyu has and how many children he has.
But if Xie Huaiyu's identity changes, his cooperation with Baiyu Villa will have to be considered separately.
But after all, Wankang has seen countless people. Xie Huaiyu said so, and he was very relieved, and he didn't feel that the other party was tricking him.
It was a few days before Wankang was sent away.Xie Mansion in the capital personally sent a butler here.
The housekeeper's surname is He, he is an old man from the Xie family, and he can be considered Lou's confidant.This time, the visitor was not kind.
He handed Xie Huaiyu a letter: "Young master. During your filial piety in the country, you didn't know how to behave, and you caused your servant to become pregnant. When the master went to court two days ago, someone took a copy of it. It was talking about this matter, and it was brought before the emperor."
"This matter is very involved, and it has become a big issue now. The master sent us to take you and that child back to the capital." Butler He paused before saying, "Master, what exactly is this matter? I'm afraid you will have to explain it in person in front of the emperor."
What the hell is coming!Xie Huaiyu opened the letter, glanced at it for a few times, and thought to himself.
"Master, where are the brother and the child now?" Steward He asked.
Before Xie Huaiyu could speak, a beautiful servant girl stood up and said loudly: "The brother and the child are in the west side room. They are served by the servant."
That maid was Luluo, who had been standing in the crowd for a long time, waiting for Butler He's words.
When Xiaoshu heard the words, he slapped Luluo twice, and made the Luluo fall limply to the ground. He pointed at her and said angrily, "Master, it's your turn to intervene? You are a waiter in the West House, when did you come to the main hall to play wild? Where did this rule come from?"
Luluo trembled, covered her face and cried, "Butler He saved me, but I just couldn't see it, and told the truth. Why do you want to kill someone?"
After she finished speaking, she was still a little uneasy, because she was afraid that Xie Huaiyu would be displeased and insist on taking it out on her.
Unexpectedly, Xie Huaiyu was very calm, and only said lightly: "In this case, then please hurry up and clean up, and bring the master you are serving. Even if the emperor knows about it, I can't hide it now. After staying, let’s go to Beijing together, and go to tell the truth.”
The child turned into the courtyard and hid behind the pile of debris. After a while, he saw oil lamps lit up in the main room and the side room.
Even if the lights are on, the child who was taken away may be in those two houses.
After dark, the temperature outside the house dropped a little.The child shivered from the cold, and sneaked to the back of the main house while there was no one in the courtyard.
Looking in through the somewhat dim window, he saw the scene inside the house.
In the huge main room, seven children sat on the ground around a brazier, all wearing new shoes on their feet, and brand new jackets on their bodies.
Their faces were much fairer, with a touch of rosiness, and they were talking quietly.
Two women were sitting in the house, arranging a pile of new clothes and shoes on the ground.
One of them said to the other: "Who are these young masters? Why are they so rich? They take care of these children with good food and drink, and buy such good clothes for them?"
"Who knows." The woman said: "How can we understand the thoughts of this rich and noble family. But they are kind-hearted, and they gave us money. If such a good deed is done, it will be rewarded."
The children outside the house were startled when they heard this, could it be that those people just now were really doing good deeds?
However, he didn't see his cousin in the house, so he couldn't confirm it.Then he slipped away quietly, and headed towards the side house again.
The side room was full of sick children, there were only five of them in all.
The child looked in from the back window, and sure enough, he saw his cousin Douer sitting inside.
Dou'er was seriously ill, coughing for several months, and only a handful of bones remained.
At this time, he was wearing a thick jacket, sitting beside the charcoal basin, although he was still coughing non-stop, his face was also rosy.
"How can you cough so badly?" Xiaoshu said with a click of his tongue. He walked to Douer's side and touched his forehead with his hand.
As he was speaking, the door of the side room was pushed open.Several servants came in, bringing along the doctor from the county hospital.
Xiaoshu was taken aback, then bowed to the doctor and said, "Doctor, you are willing to come to see the doctor after Chinese New Year. You are truly a bodhisattva."
The doctor smiled slightly and said: "You're welcome, it was Brother Bai who invited me here. Mr. Xie and Brother Bai are willing to take care of these children, they are kind people. I just do my best, and I still have the consultation fee. Take it, it’s just doing what’s in it.”
The doctor exchanged a few words with Xiaoshu, then walked to those children and treated them one by one.
At this time, the child who was peeking out the window was already so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
His family members died of the disease, and he knew how expensive it was to see a doctor.
If it is said that these people have other plans for dressing and eating them, but things like seeing a doctor are a complete waste of money.
As he was thinking about it, his foot slipped and he fell, causing quite a commotion.
"Who is it!" Xie's servant shouted loudly.
Several people rushed out of the house, and after a while, they pulled out a black and dirty child from the back of the house.
"Strong boy?" Dou'er immediately recognized the dark boy as his cousin.
Seeing that they knew each other, Xiao Shu was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help thinking of what Bai Shu had said to him before he left.
He said that if these children were brought here, other children in the dark alley would definitely come to inquire. If you encounter such a child, don't rush to stay.Just let him eat and drink a good meal, and then let him go.
Seeing the captured child at this moment, Xiaoshu couldn't help but feel that Bai Shu had predicted everything so well.
No wonder he didn't take all those children away. I'm afraid he had expected such a scene a long time ago.
Zhuangzi was arrested at this time, his heart pounding, he didn't know how he would be treated.
"This kid is dirty...he has a bad smell all over his body, so I haven't taken him to wash it yet." Xiao Shu pinched his nose and said in disgust.
Then two women took him out and scrubbed him hard.After a while, Zhuangzi was washed out of color before being put back again.
Xiaoshu threw him a jacket and asked him to put it on. Zhuangzi touched the jacket lightly, the lining was made of fine cotton.He had never worn such fine clothes.
When the strong man put on his coat, a woman brought bean porridge for a night and told him to eat it quickly.
Zhuangzi was holding the steaming bean porridge, feeling a little at a loss.
He hadn't had a hot meal for a long time, and this night of bean porridge reminded him of when his family was still there.The heat made his eyes hurt, and made him cry while eating.
When he finished eating, Xiao Shu asked someone to put away the bowl, and said to Zhuangzi, "You have eaten and put on clothes now. It's getting late, so go back."
go back?where?
When he said this, Zhuangzi was taken aback for a moment.His family was ruined long ago, otherwise he would not have come out to wander.
He came from the dark alley, since the little brother said so, let him go back to the dark alley, right?
If you stay in the dark alley all the time, you don't feel anything.But Zhuangzi had just entered this warm environment, and suddenly he was pulled out, and he couldn't get used to it all at once.
Dou'er was a little anxious when he heard this, so he got up and hurriedly said: "Little brother, Zhuangzi is my relative, let him stay!"
Xiaoshu heard the words, but his expression was serious, and he said seriously: "Just now my young master and little brother Bai gave them a chance. You followed, it is your blessing, and if they don't come, it's them." I chose."
"Now I didn't drive him away directly, but let him eat and drink enough, and gave him clothes, which is the most benevolent. If he wants to stay, then I can't be the master. Wait until tomorrow my young master and Bai The little brother is here, let him speak for himself."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but ask someone to send the child out of the door, and also stated that if someone wanted to leave, he could leave with the child himself.
After hearing this, Dou'er stopped making a sound, and retreated to the side of the charcoal basin.
Although he was worried about strong men, he was never foolish enough to bet his own life.
Stay here, have food to eat, clothes to wear, and receive treatment from doctors.Going back to the dark alley is a dead end.
Zhuangzi was sent back to the dark and cold outdoor, and then looked at the warm and bright room, not to mention how envious he was.
He walked away step by step, with nowhere to go, and finally returned to the dark alley.
At this time, in the dark alley, Yulang and the rest of the children huddled around the fire to share the food they had begged for today.
Today is the first day of the new year, and every family is celebrating the festival.Seeing children like them made me feel more kind, so I begged for more food than usual.
As they were sharing, they heard a man rushing in and shouting loudly: "Yulang! Zhuangzi is back!"
As soon as Yulang looked up, he saw Zhuangzi coming in from the dark alley, going to the fire and sitting down.
"Zhuangzi, have you found Dou'er? How are they? They weren't sold by that man, right?"
Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "No, they are doing well, living in a big house with a charcoal basin, eating and drinking, and seeing a doctor."
They couldn't see clearly in the dark, and at this time, everyone was surprised to find that this strong man seemed to be a different person after going out.Not only was his body clean and tidy, but his clothes were also changed.
"Zhuangzi, your clothes are really nice! Where did you get them?" Someone immediately asked.
Zhuangzi then detailed how he followed them to the house and how he was caught.
Someone heard this, and immediately said enviously: "I knew I would go with me. I must have slept in that big house by now, why would I suffer from hunger here?"
He just said this out of emotion, but when everyone heard it, they looked at Yulang one after another.
Just now they actually wanted to go with that brother, but Yulang refused, so they all stayed.
Yulang was also very upset, he still didn't believe it.
Where in this world can there be such fools who raise these lowly embryos for no reason.
At night, someone approached Zhuangzi and said softly to him: "Zhuangzi, that boy asked you to talk to his master. I think it will work. That brother looks like a soft guy, why don't we talk to him tomorrow?" to try it?"
Zhuang Zi also had this intention in the first place, and immediately agreed, and made an appointment to go the next morning, and he must ask that brother to let him stay.
In the early morning, the sky was just getting bright.Zhuangzi got up quietly, and several children stood up vigilantly and followed behind him.
After they got up to leave, Yulang opened his eyes.quietly followed their footsteps.
When Zhuangzi and the others arrived outside the courtyard, they had just woken up inside.
Several women came out with a large pot of porridge, and the aroma wafted out of the courtyard.
So the children's noses smelled sensitively, and the porridge had meat in it.
"It seems to be drinking meat porridge inside..." a child said, smacking his mouth.
The other people's saliva is also secreting crazily. Is there meat porridge to drink?The treatment is really good too!
It was still early at this time, and Bai Shu and the others did not come.
Although the servants and women in the house saw the children outside the house, they didn't dare to let them in easily, so they let them go.
These children didn't leave, they squatted outside the house, waiting for Bai Zhu and the others to come over.
Yulang hid by the side of the road, saw it from a distance, squinted his eyes, turned his head and left.
Xie Huaiyu had something to do today, so he didn't come over.
He asked Xiao Shu to come with Bai Shu, the two of them delayed for a while, and Chen Shi finally arrived at the gate of the house.
As soon as Bai Shu got out of the car, he saw a large circle of children sitting outside the yard.Almost all the ones left in the dark alley yesterday came.
As soon as they saw Bai Zhu, those children rushed up, hugged his clothes and shouted: "Young Master Bodhisattva is reincarnated, please show your kindness and keep us!"
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Xiaoshu hurriedly asked the servants next to him to separate those children from Bai Zhu: "Everyone is dirty, come up and fumble around. If you have something to say, just say it there, don't play tricks on me."
Those children looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then pushed out a representative to speak.
That means Zhuang Zi, wearing the new clothes he got yesterday, looks cleaner than other children.
"My kind brother, yesterday we were ignorant of compliments. We were wrong. You are a very good person. Kindness will be rewarded, so leave us alone." Zhuangzi pleaded.
At such a young age, he is so glib, Bai Shu thought.
However, these children have poor backgrounds, and it is justifiable to be like this now.
Bai Shu didn't want to argue with them, he has led troops for many years, and he has his own way of controlling them, so he said: "I am not staying here for nothing, you can stay, but to help me with work."
The children were taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded one after another. They can do some work, as long as they have food and shelter, it's fine to let them do some work.
So Bai Shu smiled slightly, raised his hand, and agreed to let them stay.
If he forcibly took everyone away yesterday, even though he had good intentions, they would definitely rebound very hard.
How about letting them go for a day like this, let their seeing be believing.
Even if they raised some conditions today, these children did not refuse, on the contrary, they became more obedient.
When the children heard that they could be left behind, they all smiled and were extremely happy.
Only then did Xiao Shu let people put them all in, and asked those women to scrub them well.
"One person is missing." Bai Shu said frowning looking at the figures of those children.
"The leader didn't come." Xiaoshu said, "That kid used to be very good at coming, but I didn't expect him to be stubborn."
"It's nothing, he's a good boy." Hearing this, Bai Shu smiled and said, "I'll go find him."
As he spoke, he walked towards the dark alley, and as expected, he saw Yulang in it, sitting alone by the fire with a tree branch.
As soon as Bai Shu passed by, Yu Lang looked up and saw him.
His expression flickered slightly, and he didn't speak, just lowered his head and stirred the flames with the branch.
"Yulang!" Bai Shu called him.
When Yulang exerted his strength, the branch broke.
"Let's go, you are the only one left. Come with me." Bai Shu said.
"What's your purpose?" Yulang paused, and then said: "I don't believe, how can there be such a person in this world!"
"If you don't believe me, how can you let your companions pass?" Bai Shu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, you will not let you eat and drink for nothing if you follow me, I will make you work for me. "
Although Bai Shu said something that would make Yu Lang do his best, she had crooked eyebrows and a mouthful of white teeth when she smiled, and she looked soft.
Yulang was a little stunned, his face flushed.Clenching his fists, he hesitated for a long time before getting up and said: "My life is worthless, and if you want it, take it."
Bai Shu smiled, he was just talking casually, but this kid actually took it seriously.
On the way back, Baishu was leading Yulang behind him, and the children in the yard cheered when they saw him.
Yulang entered the courtyard and said to the children: "This Bai brother is our great benefactor, why don't you all kneel down and kowtow to him three times."
In the dark alley, Yulang was their leader after all, and he still had some prestige among them.
Those children really knelt down after hearing this, and kowtowed to Bai Zhu in unison.
Among them, Yu Lang knocked the loudest, Bai Shu noticed it and nodded.
Knowing kindness and repaying is a beautiful virtue.These children can have such thoughts, and it is easier to teach them.
The children all took it over, and it was a matter here.
Of course, these children can't be raised for nothing like this, instead, their tempers are spoiled.
Bai Shu placed them here for the time being, and after the end of the year, he would find some people to teach them well.So that they can develop some skills, so that they can support themselves in the future.
After arranging everything, Bai Shu and Xiao Shu left.Only the two servants of the Xie family remained, and they will not return here for the time being.
·
The ninth day of the Lunar New Year is the auspicious day for Wang Mutou to marry Chen Dongqing.
Early in the morning, Chen Dongqing changed into new maroon clothes, and waited at the door before the auspicious time came.
Marriage in the village is not so particular.
What's more, Chen Dongqing and Wang Mutou are married again, and their children are not young anymore.
Chen Dongqing wasn't prepared for the hijab, but he had done a good job of tidying it up, and he seemed much more energetic than usual.
His hair was combed by a maid found from Xie's family. The maid was skillful, so the style of combing was naturally different from the way he did it casually.
There wasn't much decoration on Chen Dongqing's crown, except for a long red ribbon.
Together with the maroon new clothes, it showed his identity as a new wife.
He was standing at the door holding Li'er's hand, and Li'er was also wearing a magenta jacket.
The child is eating well now, and he has gained weight.Coupled with the bonus of temperament after studying, just standing there, white and clean, he looks like a little brother from a rich family.
The auspicious time was approaching, and Chen Dongqing watched from a distance a group of people approaching on the village road.
Wang Mutou walked in front, followed by several bearers and musicians playing Chuichuidada.
Wang Mutou did not know where he found these bearers, and carrying the red sedan chair, he attracted the attention of many people along the way.
How many people use sedan chairs to carry the weddings in this village, let alone a second marriage like his!Chen Dongqing's face became hot, and her heart was very ironed, Wang Mumu really had a heart.
Wang Mutou's wedding reception ceremony was so lively, there must be many villagers who came to watch.
After a while, the entrance of Baiyu Mountain Villa was surrounded by three layers inside and outside.
At this time, Wang Mutou also arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi.He also wore a brand new red suit today.Her hair has been carefully combed, and her body is straight.
His cousin, Mrs. Wang, stood beside her with three children. The children were also wearing bright red clothes. When they saw Li'er, they waved enthusiastically. The children are now playing very well.
Wang Mutou and Chen Dongqing looked at each other across a threshold, and there was some friendship in their eyes.
Because of Daxuan's custom before marriage, they haven't seen each other for three days.
Now that I finally saw her, I realized that Xiao Biesheng was newlywed, but within a few days, I missed him very much.
With a bang, someone rang the gong, and another person sang loudly: "The auspicious time has come, and the bridegroom can go to pick him up!"
Naturally, it is not so easy for the groom to pick up someone.
Xiao Xia smiled and put a brazier in front of the door.Wang Mutou chuckled, and stepped across at once.Naturally, such trivial matters would not bother him.
But how could it be so easy to meet a kiss?
When they got to the door, Xiaochun, Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong blocked the door, including Cook Huang and Xiaoshu.The most important thing is that there is a big Buddha named Baishu sitting at the gate.
Wang Mutou's marriage this time is also hated by his clan's attention, and many people from the Wang family's distant relatives and neighbors came.
But no matter how many people came, with Bai Shu blocking him from behind, these people naturally couldn't break in.
Seeing that the auspicious time was about to pass, Wang Mutou was in trouble, and begged bitterly: "Brother Bai, please do me a favor and let me in quickly!"
Chen Dongqing was also a little anxious, so she ran to Bai Shu and tugged on his sleeve, and whispered to him, "Forget it..."
Then Bai Shu released the water, and asked Wang Mumu to throw some copper coins and break in.
At this time, the two newcomers finally met, but Wang Mutou suddenly bent down and hugged Chen Dongqing.
Chen Dongqing didn't expect him to make such a move, she was startled, so she had time to wrap her arms around his neck.
He was tall and tall, no different from a man, unexpectedly Wang Mutou was not weak, he walked quickly while holding him, and stepped out of Baiyu Villa in one go.
After leaving the gate of Baiyu Villa, Chen Dongqing is his man.
Wang Mutou is usually a coward, but this time when he got married, he was very dignified.
The crowd of onlookers was so excited that they booed for a while, calling for them to kiss each other.
Chen Dongqing's face was hot, and he only said that he was too heavy, and asked Wang Mutou to put him down quickly.
"Not heavy!" Wang Mutou shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm strong!"
When he said this, Chen Dongqing's face became hotter, and the surrounding villagers burst into laughter.
It is said that the second marriage is not as good as the first marriage, but Chen Dongqing and Wang Mumu are really a good match.
Everyone also felt that this marriage was really good.
After Chen Dongqing got into the sedan chair, his dowry was carried out from Baiyu Villa.
The person who sang the dowry for Chen Dongqing was Xiaoshu. He read the items on the dowry list one by one, and the surrounding villagers were dumbfounded.
Such a long dowry list!Chen Dongqing's dowry is really too generous!
Chen Dongqing's dowry was as much as eight loads.
In addition to the betrothal gifts that Wang Mutou sent back intact, there are also a load of cotton, a load of fine fabrics, and various quilts for the bed, worth more than ten taels of silver.
In addition, he also paid 20 taels of silver, three acres of land, and some silver jewelry.The sum of these things is probably as much as 50 taels of silver.
Zhao Er quietly hid behind the crowd, listening to the dowry list, his eyes almost turned red with anger.
If Chen Dongqing hadn't reconciled with him, then all these things would belong to him.
Seeing Wang Mumu commanding the bearer to carry the sedan chair away, he held Li'er in his arms and took him away with him.
Li'er was hugged by Wang Mumu, and leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately, which was much more affectionate than being with her own father.
·
After Chen Dongqing got married, it was difficult to live in Baiyu Villa anymore, so she moved to Wang Mutou's house with Li'er.
His room became vacant, and Bai Shu didn't take it away, but kept it for him, saying that if he was wronged by Wang Mutou, he could come back to live there.
After the Lantern Festival, the weather gradually became warmer, and Lin Shuyu's belly became bigger and bigger.
Xie Huaiyu asked the doctor to come for a consultation every half a month, and the doctor said that Lin Shuyu would give birth in half a month at most.
When Lu Luo got the news, she immediately wrote to Mrs. Xie.
In three days, Mrs. Xie replied to the letter and gave her a gold bracelet, asking her to take good care of him, and to report when the child was born.
A few days later, Lin Shuyu gave birth.
His fetal position is quite upright, and the child is not too big.There is also a doctor administering needles, so the birth is not difficult.
The child fell to the ground, it was a boy.Luluo hugged her and looked at it, her face froze for a moment.
This son... does not look like Lin Shuyu at all, but is carved out of the same mold as Mr. Xie.
Xie Qi looks like his father, and Lin Shuyu's son looks like Xie Qi, so his appearance is naturally similar to that of Lord Xie.
Luluo didn't know the inside story, and thought the child belonged to Xie Huaiyu, but thought it was a bit strange that the child looked neither like his father nor his mother.
But she never expected that Xie Huaiyu would raise a child for her younger brother, and she only thought it was inherited from generation to generation.So I wrote to Mrs. Xie, without mentioning the child's appearance.
In the capital, Mrs. Lou laughed out loud when she received a letter from Lu Luo.
This Xie Huaiyu was a man after all, and he couldn't escape a word of sex after all.
Now that Lin Shuyu has given birth to a child, Xie Huaiyu is a certainty and unable to turn over.
She summoned the maidservant beside her, whispered in her ear for a while, and said: "Let people spread the news, the bigger the trouble, the better. I want to see how Xie Huaiyu can turn around this time!"
March in the south of the Yangtze River is a time when warm flowers bloom and a hundred flowers bloom.
The few acres of peach blossoms planted around Baiyu Villa have all bloomed now.
The entire Baiyu Villa is wrapped in a sea of pink flowers, which is like a dream and has a special interest.
The guests who left in winter gradually returned, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see the peach blossoms.The daily flow of visitors received by Baiyu Mountain Villa is full, and the reservations are all scheduled for ten days later.
Wankang came again, but this time he came for business and did not bring any wishful thinking.
He has already selected a location in Nanyang and opened up the local customs. As long as Baiyu Villa provides technology like this, construction can start in a few days.
After Xie Huaiyu talked with him, he recruited three craftsmen from the capital.
Entrust them with a lot of money, let them go to Nanyang with Wankang, and build the semicolon of Baiyu Villa.
It is to build the semicolon of Baiyu Villa, those craftsmen will naturally have to ask Baishu for advice.
Seeing that Bai Shu led them to discuss the renovation of the villa.
Wan Kang quietly reminded Xie Huaiyu: "I came from the capital this time and heard a lot of messages about you. You and little brother Bai..."
Wan Kang paused, glanced at Bai Shu in the distance, and said, "How can I hear that you have had a baby? I haven't seen that little brother Bai is pregnant?"
"That child is not mine." Xie Huaiyu heard the words, and knew that the Lou family had probably found people in the capital to spread the word.
It's just that Lou's publicity is probably because he didn't expect that the child would be his son's seed in the end.
The expression on Wankang's face was intriguing, as if he didn't believe Xie Huaiyu's words.
Xie Huaiyu sneered in his heart and didn't explain much.He only said clearly to Wankang: "Don't worry, Master Wan, Xie has his own discretion in this matter. It will definitely not affect our cooperation."
Wan Kang smiled and felt relieved.
He is not Wan Ruyi, so he doesn't care how many concubines Xie Huaiyu has and how many children he has.
But if Xie Huaiyu's identity changes, his cooperation with Baiyu Villa will have to be considered separately.
But after all, Wankang has seen countless people. Xie Huaiyu said so, and he was very relieved, and he didn't feel that the other party was tricking him.
It was a few days before Wankang was sent away.Xie Mansion in the capital personally sent a butler here.
The housekeeper's surname is He, he is an old man from the Xie family, and he can be considered Lou's confidant.This time, the visitor was not kind.
He handed Xie Huaiyu a letter: "Young master. During your filial piety in the country, you didn't know how to behave, and you caused your servant to become pregnant. When the master went to court two days ago, someone took a copy of it. It was talking about this matter, and it was brought before the emperor."
"This matter is very involved, and it has become a big issue now. The master sent us to take you and that child back to the capital." Butler He paused before saying, "Master, what exactly is this matter? I'm afraid you will have to explain it in person in front of the emperor."
What the hell is coming!Xie Huaiyu opened the letter, glanced at it for a few times, and thought to himself.
"Master, where are the brother and the child now?" Steward He asked.
Before Xie Huaiyu could speak, a beautiful servant girl stood up and said loudly: "The brother and the child are in the west side room. They are served by the servant."
That maid was Luluo, who had been standing in the crowd for a long time, waiting for Butler He's words.
When Xiaoshu heard the words, he slapped Luluo twice, and made the Luluo fall limply to the ground. He pointed at her and said angrily, "Master, it's your turn to intervene? You are a waiter in the West House, when did you come to the main hall to play wild? Where did this rule come from?"
Luluo trembled, covered her face and cried, "Butler He saved me, but I just couldn't see it, and told the truth. Why do you want to kill someone?"
After she finished speaking, she was still a little uneasy, because she was afraid that Xie Huaiyu would be displeased and insist on taking it out on her.
Unexpectedly, Xie Huaiyu was very calm, and only said lightly: "In this case, then please hurry up and clean up, and bring the master you are serving. Even if the emperor knows about it, I can't hide it now. After staying, let’s go to Beijing together, and go to tell the truth.”
