Mu Huagui

Chapter 74 Hometown
Su Dazhuang went to the pier to book a boat for tomorrow's trip, and the group of four rested in an inn closest to the pier.Call Xiaoer to boil hot water, and serve Chen Jiao'er to freshen up.At this moment, Aunt Su and Cherry were holding towels to help Chen Jiao'er twist her hair.

When the twisting was half dry, Aunt Su asked the cherries to wash and continued twisting Chen Jiaoer's long hair by herself.Black hair as soft as silk was slowly combed with a wooden comb in his hand.

Chen Jiao'er closed her eyes comfortably, like a kitten lying on the bed, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping.

"Miss really wants to get in touch with Mrs. Lu." Aunt Su asked in a low voice.

"Does mom think there's something wrong?" Chen Jiao'er let out a sigh of relief and replied.

"The old slave just thinks that the guards of the Lu family are vicious, not like business people, so I'm a little worried." Aunt Su carefully observed in the caravan, and found that all of them were muscular and strong men with weapons. .I didn't even see a accountant or a shopkeeper, so I was a little worried during the few days in the mountains.

"I told mother not to call herself an old slave anymore. You are no longer my servant." Chen Jiao'er shook Aunt Su's hand, and said, "I also feel a little strange, but she has repeatedly stated that she just wants to know the Dongjun Palace. It’s a good thing to do business in the capital. It shouldn’t be bad for us. As for the others, I haven’t promised anything, so I’m not afraid.”

"Miss has her own way of doing things, sir... I'm not worried, and I'm just babbling casually. But what do you think about Shizi?" Aunt Su's greatest wish is to see that Miss will be dependable for life.

"What does mom think?" Chen Jiao'er was also a little confused, she insisted on not considering other things before taking revenge, whether it was right or wrong.

"Miss knows, according to my mother, Mr. Huang is the most suitable one. Whether it is knowledge, character, or appearance, it is the best choice." The most important thing is that there is still a slight possibility of being Mr. Huang's wife. sex.No matter how much Aunt Su favors her young lady, she still knows that leaving the Chen House, her family background will always be a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

"Of course, the most important thing is the happiness of the young lady. No matter what kind of man a woman marries in her life, she is nothing more than having children and serving her in-laws and husband. The higher the family, the more things they will take care of. You have to work hard for a lifetime. Marry someone you like, at least you will feel it is worth the hard work." Aunt Su is not a pedantic person, and in addition, the control of women in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as strict as that of the previous dynasty. The idea is not surprising.

Seeing Chen Jiaoer's uneasy expression, Aunt Su added.But thinking about the identities of the eldest son and the young lady, I couldn't help but say what was in my heart, "Mom has seen a lot of people going in and out of the back houses of big families these days. , are all deceitful. There is always only one wife, and she is the only one who can stand beside the husband and share his identity and status."

"Mom, Jiao'er understands." Chen Jiao'er stroked the dried hair, feeling more and more sleepy, and lay down on her side, Aunt Su helped her cover the quilt, and tiptoely opened the door to the next room.

Even being full of worries could not overcome the physical fatigue of the past few days, when she fell asleep, Cherry carried her luggage and slept on the foot of the couch.Aunt Su also whispered to Su Dazhuang in the next room.

"Miss went to Annan, obviously you can go by land, but you want to go to Linqing, what is it..." Miss didn't say anything about the case, but Su Dazhuang knew it in his heart.

It was so hard to be surprised, and he was going to Linqing to pay respects to other people's parents. Su Dazhuang always felt that the young lady was hindered by a demon, but he didn't say anything because of his identity.

"Okay, Miss has something on her mind, so we don't need to ask any more questions. Maybe it's not necessarily because of the elder brother's request." Aunt Su was also puzzled, but she had a kind of blind faith in Miss, so even her husband couldn't say more.

"I'm just talking. I don't dare to talk too much about what Miss is going to do." Su Dazhuang muttered a few words, turned over and fell asleep.

The boatman was a young couple, with a two or three-year-old girl, they welcomed everyone into the cabin, and the boatwoman took her daughter to the back to prepare meals.

When Chen Jiao'er saw that she was taking the child with her, she ordered Mrs. Su to go to the back to help.Su Dazhuang was sitting on the bow of the boat chatting with the boatman, while Yingying was arranging his luggage.

Looking at the calm river outside, Chen Jiao'er had mixed feelings.Ten years ago, if I could safely cross the river and reach the capital, what would I look like now.

The waterway is not far away, and it will arrive in half a day, and it has been more than half a month since they left the capital.Chen Jiao'er disembarked from the boat, ignoring her dizziness and discomfort.I have to find a place and let Cherry take out the funeral ceremony that I bought before boarding the ship.

I found the place where Lin Da killed a lot of family members in my memory, set up offerings and lit joss sticks, and lit three incense sticks. Chen Jiao'er bowed down earnestly, and said silently in her heart, "Uncle Fu, Uncle Zhong, Daren, and many other Jiao'er who can't be named. My uncles and uncles, you died in a foreign land because of Jiao’er. There are no bones left, and Jiao’er is useless. It took so many years to avenge you. The enemy Lin Dali has already executed, and your vengeance has been avenged. If we meet again in the next life, Jiao’er will surely Pay off."

It was already early summer, but the few people standing beside couldn't help but shiver.

The swirling cold wind slowly dissipated until the paper money on the ground was burned to ashes.

Cherry's teeth were trembling, and she stepped forward to help Chen Jiao'er, "Little Miss, this place is so wicked, let's go."

Chen Jiao'er said "Yes", Ren Yingying helped her into the carriage, the hairs all over her body stood on end suddenly, as if someone was staring at her, Chen Jiao'er suddenly turned her head, but she didn't see anything.

"Miss, what are you looking at, did you drop something?"

"Cherry, do you feel that someone is staring at us?"

"Ah, miss, there's nothing here, this, this place is really evil, we're still, still, hurry up..." Cherry almost pushed Chen Jiao'er into the carriage, and sat down on the opposite side, her little face pale.

"Girl, we are avenging them. If they want to scare them, they will go to Lin Zhicong. There is nothing to be afraid of." Aunt Su thought about it, patted Cherry on the back, and urged Su Dazhuang to leave here quickly. .

It only takes two or three days from here to Linqing, and the official road along the way is very smooth.

"Miss will stay in Linqing for a few days." Aunt Su asked, she wanted to arrange the inn and the itinerary to Annan, so she asked this question.

"Two or three days." Chen Jiao'er replied, not intending to stay longer.

When we arrived in Linqing, it was noon, Su Dazhuang was driving the carriage, Aunt Su also sat in front of the carriage and stood side by side with Su Dazhuang, looking at the signs along the street, trying to find a clean and well-located inn to settle down.

When he arrived at his destination, Su Dazhuang also relaxed, distracting himself from time to time to watch the excitement on the street.A frail middle-aged man was suddenly pushed out of a shop and bumped into the carriage.If Su Dazhuang hadn't been quick to catch the rein, this man would have been trampled down by the horse.

Hearing the exclamation of the people in front, Chen Jiao'er was also shocked, she opened the curtain and asked, "But something happened."

Su Dazhuang had already jumped out of the car, helped the man up, and was whispering something to him.

After listening to Mrs. Su's explanation, Chen Jiao'er turned her head to look over, and there were four big characters "Jin's Pawn Shop" glittering in gold on the shop, and the clerk in the shop was watching the excitement with folded arms, and with a mocking face, he pushed the customer into the ground. The carriage didn't look worried at all.

Su Dazhuang asked the man to lean against the shaft for the time being, and when he came back, he said, "This scholar is reasonable, he said that it's none of our business, it's just that he hurt his leg, and asked if we could take him for a ride."

"No matter what, he fell on our carriage, and it is right to send him back. Ask him if he wants to go to the medical clinic first." Chen Jiao'er nodded, and returned to the carriage with Aunt Su.

Su Dazhuang helped the middle-aged scholar to sit outside the carriage, maybe Su Dazhuang asked something, the middle-aged scholar replied, "A little injury is fine, thank you for sending me back."

Chen Jiao'er's heart moved when she heard the voice, she seemed to be familiar with it, but she couldn't help laughing when she thought about it again. She hadn't returned to her hometown for a long time, and she felt kind when she heard the accent, so it was naturally familiar.

Regardless of whether the uncle or the uncle is from the Wang family in Linqing, it is impossible for any family to go to the pawnshop to exchange silver envoys.Thinking about it this way, I felt relieved again.After riding in the carriage for a few days, I was also a little bored, I just hoped to send the man home quickly so that I could go to the inn to have a rest.

"It's here, if, if... If you don't dislike it, why don't you go home and have a drink of tea." The middle-aged man thought about the situation at home, and it was really not suitable for receiving guests, but years of upbringing made him unable to turn around and leave .

Chen Jiao'er listened in the carriage, and wanted to refuse, but just as she was about to speak, she heard a woman's voice, "Master, what's wrong with your leg, I told you not to go, don't go..."

"Go down and sit down, I just feel a little nervous." Chen Jiao'er said.

Aunt Su and Cherry helped Chen Jiao'er down. The middle-aged man didn't expect that the people in the carriage would actually go to his house. He was stunned for a while, but also a little happy, and said to the crying woman, "Hurry up and go home and burn it." Get some water, there are guests coming."

"Yes, yes." The woman wiped her tears and helped the limping husband to walk ahead.

Chen Jiao'er looked at the simple house, a few chickens being fed in the yard, and a little boy with a big head was staring at an egg in a daze.

"Xiaobao, there are guests here. Go and move the stools out for the guests to sit on." It may be that no one has been in the house for a long time. The little boy named Xiaobao tilted his head and stared at the few people for a long time before running to the house. Inside, drag out a long bench.

Xiao Bao was only six or seven years old, and he dragged the bench to the threshold with difficulty, Chen Jiao'er hurried up to help him carry it out.

Su Dazhuang took fodder to feed the horses outside, but did not enter the house.Aunt Su was helping to add firewood in the room. Seeing that the family was poor, she hinted that Cherry would go to the carriage to get tea.

In the yard, Chen Jiao'er sat on the bench, pulled Xiao Bao into her arms, stroked his head, and took from her arms the candied fruit that Mrs. Su specially prepared for her in case she would get seasick.Xiaobao licked his lips, watched eagerly, but said, "Xiaobao doesn't want it, dad said that you can't take other people's things casually."
