Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 174
After Huang Xiaoying married Lin Qingzhen, if the shop is not busy, she does not need her to help. She only cooks and cleans up at home. Compared with the original home, she is a bit lonely, but fortunately, there is a sister-in-law Lin Meizhen who often brings soil Wang came to talk to her, and occasionally stayed to have a meal together, and the two families took care of each other.

When Du Xiaoyu went, she was choosing dishes and said with a smile, "Did you come to see a restaurant or something?"

"I came here on a special trip to see you." Du Xiaoyu dragged a low stool and sat down, helped to fix it together, then looked into the room and asked, "Is my cousin-in-law not back yet?"

"I won't go back until I have dinner. Some people have ordered two pagodas, a pair of golden boys and jade girls. I'm afraid they can't be tied together today."

Du Xiaoyu doesn't know much about her married life, so don't say more, at least Huang Xiaoying doesn't look bad at all, that's fine.

The rich fragrance of flowers wafting from the yard broke into her nose from time to time. When she looked back, she found a small patch of gardenias planted on the west side of the courtyard, covered with snow-white buds.

"When did you plant it?" She hadn't seen it when she came earlier.

"Sister-in-law moved it here, and they planted a small half of the yard over there." Huang Xiaoying laughed, "I think our place is empty, and I said that I will move his azaleas over in two days."

"Sister Meizhen is right. I also feel that it is a bit empty, so I simply built a flower garden and planted everything. By the way, do you want to raise a rabbit to play with? Where is the dog? If you want, I will next time bring it here."

Huang Xiaoying was here alone, and Lin Qingzhen was always busy, so she seemed a little lonely.

"No, I might as well go to the restaurant if I have time. It's not far away. You think I have so much free time? Besides, I can go to live in Xincun, and my mother-in-law often asks me to go back. "Huang Xiaoying glanced at her, "Just now you said you came here on a special trip, what's the matter?"

"It's about my cousin."

"Li Shu?" Huang Xiaoying hurriedly said, "But what did you find? This kid is sneaky, so he won't tell me."

"I told you, don't worry. According to my guess, he has his eyes on Third Aunt Dong's daughter."

"What?" Huang Xiaoying frowned, and threw the food in her hand, "You bastard! You can't read books at a critical point, but you think about these things! Xiaoyu, are you sure?"
Du Xiaoyu recounted what he had seen before, and said, "If you question him, I'm afraid he won't admit it. I'm here to see you today because I'm afraid he'll take a liking to him. If he arrives Sometimes my aunt refuses, maybe something will happen. Besides, he always runs to the Qin family, and when other people know about his meeting with Qinglan, it will be even worse if rumors come out. "

Huang Xiaoying lowered her face, "Third Aunt Dong is not a kind person in my opinion, doesn't Aunt Qin often say that she is not good? They are a family!"

"Actually, Qinglan people are pretty good."

Huang Xiaoying remained silent, and after a while she let out a long sigh, "Li Shu has a very stubborn temper, last time I just looked through his things and kept hating me, if I tell him to let go of the girl he likes, I don't know what will happen Hate me!" She was very embarrassed, "Xiaoyu, what can you do?"

"He has also been educated, so he should know whether a man and a woman can get along with each other, and sometimes liking others may also hurt others."

"I can't say such polite words." Huang Xiaoying frowned, "You know my temper, I want to kick him if I see him, how can I talk properly? Hey, my mother is the same, and my father I'm not good at reasoning with people... Xiaoyu, how about you go and persuade me?"

"Me?" Du Xiaoyu's eyes widened, "No, I'm not his elder, nor his sister, so why would he listen to me?"

Huang Xiaoying grabbed her arm, "You're sure you can do it. With your mouth, why can't you tell the truth? If he still doesn't listen, I have no choice but to go back and beat him up, and tell my mother to lock him up in the room!" "

This is too violent, it can only have the opposite effect, right?

But with her and Zhao Dongzhi's personalities, I'm afraid they can really do it. Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyu rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll try it."

Huang Xiaoying was relieved, "If it doesn't work, you can tell me again, let's not talk about whether this girl from the Qin family is good or not, the parents ordered the matchmaker to say, he can't make decisions without authorization, you tell him to restrain himself, don't go to her again, other Yes, wait until you are admitted as a scholar."

"That's what I mean too." Du Xiaoyu nodded.

After a while, the two of them started preparing lunch after finishing the dishes. Lin Qingzhen also came back at about the same time. Seeing Du Xiaoyu was there, he smiled at her, and then went to the house on his own, but he didn't even follow her. Huang Xiaoying spoke.

And Huang Xiaoying seemed to feel nothing, just busy cooking.

"I'll ask him to eat, you sit down first." After finishing her work, Huang Xiaoying brushed her hair down, wiped her hands and went into the bedroom.

Lin Qingzhen came out sleepily, because he had taken a lunch break.

"Do you want some wine?" Huang Xiaoying asked, "I burned the dried salted fish my mother sent me."

Lin Qingzhen shook his head, "No need, I have to be busy in the afternoon, that person will come to pick it up tomorrow." After a pause, "If you are free, come to the shop later, my brother-in-law has something to do, maybe I have to leave earlier .”

"Okay." Huang Xiaoying smiled, and told Du Xiaoyu to be polite and eat more vegetables.

The two stopped talking, didn't have much eye contact, and ate quietly, not at all like a newlywed couple, but they didn't feel that there was any abruptness, and it seemed logical.

Du Xiaoyu mainly wanted to talk about Huang Lishu, and saw that their shop was busy, so he left. Since he came to the county, he naturally wanted to go shopping and buy some things on the way back.

This is the time when spring and summer are handing over, the scenery is the most beautiful in all seasons, there are many pedestrians, and there are many more people entering and leaving Feixian County than usual.

Half an hour later, she had already carried several bags of things in her hand, among which snacks accounted for more than half. Qingqiu and Fudan both liked the food from Wurentang, so they bought some more, and were about to go to the gate of the county , but someone called her name behind her.

Looking back, Zhang Zhuoyu ran over from afar, his face full of joy, "I'm afraid that I'm mistaken, it's really you."

"I want to go back." Du Xiaoyu's tone was flat. Since Zhao Dongzhi made fun of him, she was a little concerned and didn't want to have too much contact with him.

Zhang Zhuoyu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Have you visited Sister Huanghua?"

"No, anyway, my sister will come back in a few days."

It seemed that she still wanted to go home, and he was anxious, "I haven't seen you coming to the restaurant recently."

"Well, the field is a little busy, so I don't have time to come."

Seeing her indifference, he suddenly didn't know what to say, the two looked at each other silently, Du Xiaoyu said, "I'll go back first."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wan came over and said with a smile, "Since you are here, Zhuoyu, why don't you invite Xiaoyu to sit in the mansion?" She and Mr. Wan, Zhang Zhuoyu just came back from Li's house as guests, and they didn't want to see Du Xiaoyu around the corner. Zhang Zhuoyu chased after him.

Could it be that this nephew really has this little girl in his heart?

"I met Mrs. Wan." Du Xiaoyu blessed her body.

"Let's go, our family Fanglin has not seen you for a long time, she has no friends and is very lonely." Mrs. Wan took her hand affectionately, "The garden is full of flowers now, even yellow flowers like to see them Yes, all of you are going to play for a while, and I will ask someone to serve some snacks, how interesting it is."

She didn't think it was interesting, but Mrs. Wan couldn't refuse. After all, it was Du Huanghua's master, so she had to follow.

Along the way, Mrs. Wan was full of smiles, asking about their family's situation from time to time, and said that Du Huanghua did a good job in Hongxiufang and managed it well.

After a short while, he walked to Wan Mansion. Mrs. Wan turned around and gave some instructions to the servants. Zhang Zhuoyu walked over and said, "Lanshan outside the county is at its most beautiful now, do you want to go and see it?"

She had been to Tianxing Temple in Lanshan. It was in March, and the scenery was picturesque. Unfortunately, things changed and people changed. The white lotus that went with her was gone. How many years passed so quickly.

"Little fish?" Zhang Zhuoyu called out softly when she saw her dazed expression.

To invite her to go out for an outing?Du Xiaoyu looked at the tense and expectant face of the boy opposite, and didn't say the words to refuse immediately.

Counting, I have known Zhang Zhuoyu for six years. Although I haven't met many times, he is kind and helpful. It's not that she has no feelings for him, but this feeling is more towards friendship.

In this case, if it was in her previous life, it would not be a big deal to go out together for a few hours. The unmarried man and the unmarried woman can increase the chances of getting to know each other, but the current situation, whether it is the many rules of this era, or the two Family differences cannot allow this to happen.

She was thinking about how to refuse, when Mrs. Wan looked over and saw the pair of young men and women looking at each other.

She seemed to have realized something, and smiled slightly, "It's said that men are talented and women are beautiful, but you two seem to be a good match."

Zhang Zhuoyu's face turned even redder when he heard this, and he turned his head away as he didn't dare to look at Du Xiaoyu again.

Such words are inappropriate in this situation, especially when it comes from Mrs. Wan, Du Xiaoyu is displeased and secretly guesses what she means.

Someone walked over from the side door with a cold snort.

"I don't like unruly girls the most. They have no skin or face, and they don't know how to be ashamed!"

Zhang Zhuoyu's mother?Du Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Wan's slightly thin face, and he clearly saw that those words were addressed to her, but why?
What had she done to deserve this evaluation?

Zhang Zhuoyu also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Wan Shi, "Mother, why did you come out?"

"Can't I come to the garden to see the flowers?" Wan said angrily.

She had heard for a long time that the second daughter of the Du family had a relationship with her own son, and she was already a little concerned. Just now, when she heard Mrs. Wan's words, she saw that Zhang Zhuoyu blushed immediately, but the little girl's face didn't change at all. Change, so shameless, either scheming or thick-skinned, how can he be worthy of his son?

But my son really likes her!
