The eldest married as a merchant's wife

Chapter 11
Lao Guanfu rubbed his feet, watching Xiuhe search in the front and back of the house as soon as he came back.

He guessed that she must have encountered some difficulties in the past few days, but it was difficult for him, an old man, to ask about his daughter's family's concerns.I thought it was not easy for a girl, she lost her mother at the age of 12, and if she has a secret, she can’t tell her father, so it’s good to let her torment her, otherwise it’s not good to cover it in her heart and get sick.

Xiuhe tossed and turned, walked in and out.Old Guan Fu sat on the bamboo chair with his back hooked and watched her busy. When Xiu He turned to look at him, he quickly moved his eyes away.

Xiuhe muttered in her heart: "Father, can you see a long black gown?"

"What long gown? Your brother took all the clothes to the cellar, how many pieces are left at home?" Guan Fu pretended to be confused, and after a moment of silence, he muttered, "It's all because your mother is soft-hearted and doesn't want to be entangled with you." Feet, a family that was so good yesterday morning can hardly be wiped out."

Xiuhe choked, and had no choice but to say: "It belongs to the third young master of the Geng family. The first one slipped into the pool, and it was the clothes he borrowed that pulled me up."

She can't lie, and her expression is unnatural when she lies.Seeing Guan Fu's eyes unconsciously looking at his boudoir, he went up to the small attic and opened the window facing the street.

Her silk scarves and handkerchiefs were drying under the eaves, and a black double-breasted gown was folded into pieces and stuffed in the swallow's nest. This was the intention of old Guan Fu. The third boy of the Geng family was released from prison. Guan Fu didn't want to Let the girl and him be rumored outside.

Xiuhe took out the clothes and took them out. The paperwork in the pocket had already been crumpled into a ball and couldn't be torn apart.

Guan Fu was clapping his water pipe, not daring to look at Xiuhe: "It fell to the ground. I saw that it was old and worn out, and its origin was unknown, so I used it as a nest for swallows." He rubbed his legs as he spoke, "I don't know this afternoon. What bastard is playing tricks, first told me to drag five jars of wine to the Yaohua outside the city, and then said that it was delivered to the wrong place, and asked to bring it back, and when he came back, he said the wine was too sour, so I don’t want it.”

Guan Fu was the master winemaker at the Huo Family Winery in the early days. During the wharf battle four years ago, he happened to be moving goods, and his leg was broken by a group of officers and soldiers.His son, Guan Changhe, works long-term in the porcelain kiln of Mei’s family, and he rarely comes back on weekdays. After Lao Guanfu broke a leg, the job of delivering wine for short distances was handed over to Xiuhe. Come into town to buy.

Xiuhe felt sorry for her father, and blamed him for not being able to afford it, so she asked: "That guy has big and small eyes, and is thin and thin? ... If you see him again in the future, tell him to go directly to the embroidery workshop to find me." Say."

Guan Fu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Old ancestor of Japan, this kid Mei Er has fooled me!"

Xiuhe asked the little sister to send the clothes to Aunt Hong.Hearing that Geng Wu went to pick it up in the afternoon, Xiuhe was afraid that he might not be able to find the official documents, so she would come back to ask for it.She wandered north and south with her father before she was six years old, and she settled in Chunxi Town when she was seven years old. After that, she never even traveled far. God knows where to get it for him.

In the end, Geng Wu didn't come to look for her. She met him several times on the road from a distance, and he seemed to have never seen her.Xiuhe thought that the official document was not important, after all, she didn't want to have anything to do with Gengwu, and the indebtedness in her heart gradually faded away.

Old Guan Fu's nagging was gone.
