Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 62
"Zhou Xiang, what kind of relatives do you have in your family? Are there groups of wives and concubines in big families, with a thriving family and a lot of sisters?!"

Zhou Xiang shook his head first, and then said, "My mother passed away when I was born, and I have never seen her. I only have my father, but I rarely see him."

"Ah, I'm sorry to bring up your sorrow."

"It's not sad, but I think it's a kind of memory. At least it can remind me that I had a mother, instead of being with the family and the housekeeper all day long. My father is in the army, and I don't see him once a year. The family is interrogating my studies and martial arts, and if I make a mistake, I will be beaten, so at that time, I was very afraid to see my father."

"Unexpectedly, General Zhou is still such a person. I used to go to the army with my father, and I always saw him. He was very kind to the soldiers in the army. He often drank with my father and those veterans. Think about it." It's interesting."

"Heh..." Zhou Xiang smiled helplessly, "You also saw the iron rod in his hand just now. I was afraid of using that thing to teach me since I was a child."

"Hehe... I can see that your legs were weak at that time, haha..."

"Hey..." Zhou Xiang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and tilted his head to look at her.

Gradually, he became sleepy, leaned over, and fell asleep.

Su Jiu looked up at the moonlight alone, thinking about the life in the modern city, and thinking about those relatives and friends in the city, her heart began to feel empty, and it couldn't be filled no matter what, it was getting bigger and bigger, tears It fell down rustlingly, and finally burst into tears. I don't know when I was tired from crying, so I lay down next to Zhou Xiang and fell asleep.

The next day, the sky was slightly brighter.

The footsteps became heavier and heavier.

When Su Jiu opened her eyes, she saw Nie Wuhuan appearing in front of her with a blank face. She thought it was a dream, rubbed her eyes, turned around and fell asleep again.

Nie Wuhuan looked at her, looked at Zhou Xiang beside him, gritted his teeth, lifted his foot, and kicked the dilapidated shack in front of him. The dew on the shack shot out instantly, splashing Su Jiu all over his face.

Su Jiu froze in shock, sat up, and looked at Nie Wuhuan who was full of anger at this moment, "Uh, why are you here? I thought you were dreaming?"

Nie Wuhuan looked at her, flicked the steel whip in his hand, and slapped Zhou Xiang on the face. Zhou Xiang screamed and got up, a red mark instantly appeared on his delicate face, and the blood star burst out. out.

"Ah, Nie Wuhuan, are you crazy?" Su Jiu shouted.

Nie Wuhuan still didn't say a word, panting heavily, suddenly turned around, got on the horse, and walked away.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes getting farther and farther away, Su Jiu's heart began to slowly rise to her throat. She looked at Zhou Xiang's clothes on her body and Zhou Xiang's arm that she had just been pillowing on, and finally understood, thinking, "It's good now, I'm afraid I won't see him in my life."

The night moonlight on this day is as bright as a mirror washed with water.

She lay on the soft pillow, smelling the birds chirping outside the window, and occasionally hearing the orderly footsteps of patrolling guards in the distance.

The head-on breeze flowed without waves, pounding on the carved lock window, and drifting all the way across her cheeks.The candles in the house had long been extinguished, and the candlesticks were covered with red tears, but there were still sporadic sparks flickering on and off.

The courtyard was still terrifyingly quiet, but she liked this kind of quietness, the quiet wind, the quiet moon, and the quiet room with a restless heart.

Nie Wuhuan was gone forever, and after hearing that he had settled the matter in the frontier fortress, he hurried back to the imperial city.

Su Jiu has been hiding in the small courtyard of the Su family, waiting for the Zhou family to come to find Zhou Xiang again with an iron rod, but there is none.Zhou Xiang also returned to the town with the package two days later.

The suspension bridge has also been repaired, and a new embankment has been built on the arch bridge, which is much higher than the previous one. Standing on it and looking into the distance, you can see the military camp on the other side of the mountain.

However, Nie Wuhuan was no longer there.

The Su family's yard once again restored its former tranquility, as if those disturbing things had never happened.It's just that on a certain moonlit night, the nightmare struck again, causing Su Jiu to regain the panic of that day. After a burst of panic, she wrapped herself around the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

In the morning, the sun is like a fire.

Another sunny day.

The peonies outside the window are delicate and charming, and their charming figures are swaying in the courtyard, with bursts of fragrance, refreshing.

It was Su's mother who opened the door and entered. She got up early and made gruel, and brought it up. Seeing her kindness, Su Jiu suddenly wanted to go up and hug this virtuous and taciturn mother. .

"Mother, my daughter wants to hug you."

Mother Su chuckled at her, then put down the rice porridge, sat in front of her, and patted Su Jiu on the back, "It's time to get up."

"I don't want to get up. I've been lazy lately. I don't know what's wrong. Mom, are you going to go to the fields? Why don't you go and stay with me at home today, okay?"

Mother Su nodded to her, but said nothing.

Su Jiu rested his head on Mother Su's lap, listening to the birdsong and the wind outside, thinking about the modern mother, the old mother who was always running around and busy doing pornographic business everywhere, once treated her like this. By your side for more than an hour? ! "Mother, in a few months, Xiaoshan will go to Beijing to catch the exam again?"

"Yes, you go with me, but be careful."

Su Jiu laughed, a sourness and pain were hidden under that slightly swaying smile, and following the corners of her mouth curved down, she began to cry silently.

Su's mother was aware of her abnormality recently, so she didn't ask any more questions, but silently handed over the brocade handkerchief and patted her on the shoulder.

"Mother, my daughter is so sad, why did such a thing happen to me?"

"If you like it, go after it. This is my Su Jiu."

"No, mother, I can't chase after him. He's different, so I can't have it."

"There are always some things that can't be fulfilled. You love it, but you know you can't get it, and you are sad. Su Jiu, take it easy, and forget it when it's over."

Su Jiu raised his head and looked at Mother Su's cheeks that had been so vicissitudes under the baptism of the years, but she could still see her extraordinary beauty in the past, the delicate skin had been stained with spots, and the pair of eyes that had always been plain There was an extra layer of heaviness in his eyes at this time.

"Mom, do you like Dad?"

"..." Mother Su didn't say a word, she just pursed her lips slightly and looked at the distance outside the window.

Because of the floods, the village had no harvest for two days. Fortunately, the farmers not only grow food, but also a lot of sweet potatoes in the mountains. However, they cannot eat sweet potatoes all day long. Rush to the town to sell sweet potatoes for some silver taels.

In the morning, Xiao Shan got up early and put the dug sweet potatoes in the basket, just waiting to pack up and go to the town.Su Jiu also got up very early today. She looked at Xiaoshan with steamed buns in her mouth, and asked with the basket on her back, "Xiaoshan, sister, come with you, and I'll buy you a piece of fabric by the way. It’s already settled, just need to find a piece of material to make shoes.”

"Hey, sister, how much material does it take to make shoes, are you greedy again?"

"Go, don't talk nonsense, I want to make clothes for my mother, and my aunt's death day will be in a few days, and my mother is going out, how can I do without a decent dress?"

"Oh, yes, it's time, then, come with me, but sister, can I see, you lead me away."

"Okay, I'll take you by the hand, you can read books all the way, can you endorse?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, I will recite this passage for you when I come back." Xiao Shan held up the scroll in his hand and pointed to a marked place.

Su Jiu didn't know what was written on it, so he nodded indiscriminately, "Okay, I can recite it, wait for me for a while, I'll go change clothes and come out."

"Isn't this dress nice?"

"Well, it's old, it's always bad to see friends."

"Ah, sister, do you want to visit Brother Zhou?"

"Yeah, I don't have any good things to send at home. I made some sweet potato cakes for him yesterday. Doesn't he like it?!"

"Okay then, put it in my basket, I'll eat another steamed bun and we'll set off."

"Eat, when you grow up, eat more, eat my sister's portion too, my sister is not hungry yet."

"No, I'll take it and keep it for my sister."

"Ahem, I'm not going out yet, hiccup..." Early in the morning, old man Su was already very drunk, he walked over with a crooked body, squatted at the door looking at Xiaoshan, smelling of alcohol.

Xiao Shan flickered the smell of alcohol blowing in the wind in disgust, "Father, drink less, seeing that you drank so much in the morning, you should pay more attention to your health."

"Hehe, our Xiaoshan has grown up, haha... hiccup, I drank a little too much with an old soldier, I heard that there will be a war at the end of the year... hiccup..."

"Father, who told you about the war at the end of the year?"

The old man Su glanced at the somewhat festive Su wine he was wearing today, and frowned, "Who are you going to meet?"

"My sister is going to see Brother Zhou."

"Okay, it's okay to spend a little more on clothes, go! Hiccup..."

"Hey, Dad, who did you hear that there was going to be a war?" Su Jiu dusted off the dust from his body, tied up his hair in a bun, and was about to go out.

"I heard that the new emperor of the Northern Dynasty has great ambitions and wants to expand the territory. The closest place is our Yuezhao Kingdom. If there is no accident, it will be at the end of the year. Hiccup... hey, let's fight, the one who suffers is not Let's, hiccup..." Old man Su was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes, waved his hands, swayed into the room, and fell asleep right away.

Xiao Shan and Su Jiu looked at each other and were speechless.To the high officials in the court, the matter of fighting is just a word, but to the common people, it is a matter of life and death. They all frowned and began to panic in their hearts.

"Let's go!" Su Jiu wrapped the sweet potato cake and put it in the basket on Xiaoshan.

"Sister, why don't I go by myself, I see that your complexion is not very good."

"It's nothing, but I'm a little worried when I hear that there will be a war. Our place is the closest to the frontier. If there is a fight, we will be the first to be implicated."

"Hey, sister, it's all a matter of guesswork, and you can't tell for sure. Don't worry about it, let's go!"

"Let's go! Hey, what kind of fabric do you think you should buy?"

"I don't understand this, it's my sister's decision, but I don't wear shoes with flowers."

"Haha, then I'll make you a pair of red ones, for celebration."

"Sister..." Su Xiaoshan frowned, looking at Su Jiu who was laughing in front of him.

"Okay, I'll hold you by the hand, you go carefully, endorse the book!"
