August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At noon that day, Shitou brought a circus group to Feng Mansion.
There is a young man in the group, his name is Xu Ming, he is 19 years old, height: 1.71 meters, and handsome.
Since he and Shitou were similar in age, the two chatted happily and got along very well with each other.
When people in the mansion saw the circus coming, they all became excited and rushed to watch the fun.
The same goes for Xi'er, who ran into the crowd alone.
Dusk is the time for acting.
Shitou helped the troupe build the stage.
He came to Xu Ming's side and called out: Brother Xu Ming, are you ready?
Xu Ming turned his head and said: It's set up.
Shitou muttered: Xu, Brother Xu Ming.
Xu Ming shouted: Shitou, what's wrong with you!
"Brother Xu Ming, after you set up the stage, can you come over to my house to play?" Shitou asked:
"Yes! After setting up the stage, I will go to your house to play." Xu Ming replied:
Shitou clapped his hands and said excitedly: Great.
Xu Ming said: Shitou, you are too excited!
Shitou continued: "Of course I'm excited. The bad guys in our village said you wouldn't go to my house."
"Why did they say that!" Xu Ming replied:
"Because my family is poor!" Shitou replied:
Xu Ming replied: Shitou, who will say your family is poor in the future? You said this to him, no matter how poor your family was, you didn't let him support you.
Shitou called out: Brother Xu Ming, you better understand me. I hate people saying that my family is poor.
Xu Ming stood up and said: Shitou, I have to act as soon as dusk comes. I won't be able to stay at your house for long.
Shitou said: It's okay, I promise I won't delay your business.
Xu Ming patted his trousers and replied: Let's go.
Xu Ming turned around.
He happened to bump into Xi'er.
His head hit Xi'er's chest.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Xu Ming bowed and apologized:
Xi'er's cheeks turned red and she replied: "It doesn't matter."
She lowered her head and ran towards the room.
She ran back to the room, as if she had lost her soul, and the figure of the man just now was floating back and forth in her mind.
Suddenly, she got up and walked towards the old lady's room.
She walked into the old lady's room and called: Grandma.
The old lady replied: Xi'er, if you don't look at the excitement outside, why are you coming to grandma's place?
Xi'er replied: Grandma, you are annoying me.
The old lady rushed to say: Nonsense! Why would grandma bother you?
Xi'er stopped the old lady's hand and asked: Grandma, if there is a person who you can't forget when you look at him?
"Xier, who did you meet?" the old lady asked:
Xi'er replied: No, no, I mean what if!
The old lady took a breath and said: Then this person is thinking about spring.
Xi'er said: Not necessarily! I felt like the one person she couldn't forget had cast a spell on her.
"Silly girl, it was love at first sight. You will also meet that person in the future." The old lady smiled and said:
"It turns out it was love at first sight." Xi'er continued:
Xi'er thanked: Thank you, grandma! Thanks!
that person······
At dusk, Shitou and Xu Ming rushed back to Feng Mansion.
When they reached the group, Xi'er was already sitting there waiting.
Shitou saw the eldest lady sitting aside and hurriedly stepped forward and said: Miss eldest lady, you also come over to watch the show.
Xi'er said: Yes!
"The theater troupe is still preparing inside, we have to wait a little longer." Shitou called:
Xi'er replied: It doesn't matter, just wait!
Shitou said: "Then you sit here for a while, I'll go out for a while."
Xi'er spit out the melon seed skin and read: The show is about to begin.
A quarter of an hour later, Shitou accompanied Xi'er into the theater.
Shitou shouted: Brother Xu Ming.
Xu Ming raised his head and said: Hello, Miss! Xu Mingchu arrived at the house...
"How do you know I am the eldest lady!" Xi'er shouted:
"Miss, it's me!" Shitou bowed:
Xi'er called out: You told him.
Xu Ming continued: I hit you at noon, I asked the stone!
Xi'er avoided the topic and said: You are artists. I am looking forward to tonight's performance!
Xu Ming sneered and said: I'm ashamed. I'm not an artist. I do odd jobs for them. I don't know how to perform, let alone acting.
Xi'er sighed: What a pity!
Shitou leaned over and asked: Brother Xu Ming, do you really not know how to perform?
Xu Ming whispered: "I'll tell you the truth, I'm not a member of the group. As for the performance, I'll talk to you when I have time!"
Shitou had some displeasure on his face and replied: Okay.
Xi'er shouted: Shitou, go out and get a moon cake to eat.
Shitou replied: Miss, you eat, me!
"I told you to eat, just go and eat and that's it." Xi'er said:
Shitou responded: Miss, you are the master and I am the servant...
"How can there be so much fuss about eating moon cakes! Go get it quickly." Xi'er interrupted:
Shitou said: How can it be done like this! It’s not good for people to see!
Xi'er shouted: I ordered you to eat, so you must eat, unless you look down on me!
"Miss!" Shitou was extremely embarrassed.
Xi'er shouted: "Also, you can help Xu Ming get a piece too."
Shitou walked out of the theater and came in with two mooncakes.
Xu Ming stretched out his hand and called: Shitou, give me a piece of moon cake.
Shi Shi slowly handed over the moon cake.
Xi'er glanced at Xu Ming, smiled and said: That's right!
Xu Ming said straight to the point: I want to eat.
Xi'er replied: I gave it to you, you just eat it.
Xu Ming took a bite and said, "It's delicious."
Xi'er looked at Xu Ming's chewing mouth and laughed from time to time.
As night falls, the show begins.
The old lady sat at the front.
The hosts lined up one after another.
But the eldest lady's seat was empty. The performance was wonderful, and everyone applauded one after another.
The old lady was in high spirits and called out: Xi'er~
The eldest lady quickly looked around and replied: Mother, Xi'er is not here.
The old lady responded: Forget it if you are not here.
The second lady poked her head and looked back and forth for Xi'er.
However, the light at the scene was too weak and her eyes could not find anything!
She just turned around.
Suddenly, the moon in the sky twinkled.
She saw several figures in the corner.
Xi'er seems to be among them.
The second lady stretched out her hand, patted the eldest lady's wrist, and whispered: Sister, Xi'er is standing in the corner, and there are several young men standing beside her. Please go over and take a look.
When the eldest lady heard this, she said: Where is it!
The old lady asked: Eldest daughter-in-law, what happened?
The eldest lady replied: No, no, you continue to watch the show, I will take my leave.
The old lady replied: Eldest daughter-in-law, you can do whatever you want.
"Mom, my sister and I are going for a while." The second lady called:
The old lady didn't say anything, just waved her hands twice.
The second lady took the eldest lady to the corner.
Seeing her mother coming over, Xi'er called out: Mom, you're here.
The eldest lady shouted: Xi'er, come over and sit down. You stand with them - how unbecoming it is.
"Mom, I feel quite comfortable standing here." Xi'er said:
"The eldest lady is well! The second lady is well!" Brother Shitou said politely:
The second lady said: Shitou, you bastard, you married a daughter-in-law, and you are still hanging around the eldest lady, what on earth do you want to do! You don't even take a pee and take a picture of yourself, you look so poor...
Tudu then said: Why are you scolding my brother? Let's come over and watch a show!
"Hey! Your name is Brother Stinky Stone, and you seem to be a poor boy. Why do some beggars always come into our house! I have to talk to Uncle Ping and ask him to brighten his eyes..." The second lady said disdainfully:
"Er Niang, I asked them to come to the show, why are you calling them beggars! If you want me to sit over there, I will just go over there." Xi'er shouted:
The second lady muttered: Why are you protecting them!
"Mom, you and Er Niang are here, and you are blocking others from watching the show!" Xi'er pushed the eldest lady back to her original position.
The next day, Xi'er got up very early.
She washed up and came to the troupe happily. She never thought that the troupe was already busy and everyone was busy cleaning up the place.
She asked an uncle that the theater troupe was about to move.
"The theater troupe is leaving." She felt anxious.
She walked slowly.
Every two steps she took, she turned her head to look.
The uncle saw the scene in front of him and asked: Miss, what are you looking at?
Xi'er asked: Where are you going?
The uncle asked curiously: Does where we go have anything to do with you?
Xi'er said: "I am the eldest lady in the mansion, and I want to see Xu Ming."
The uncle seemed to understand something! Shout: Xu Ming.
Xu Ming ran over and said: Uncle Fang, what do you want from me?
Xi'er saw Xu Ming and called out: Brother Xu Ming.
Xu Ming glanced at Xi'er and responded: Miss, don't call me that! Be heard!
Uncle Fang shouted: Xu Ming, you and the eldest lady!
"We just met yesterday, we are not very familiar with each other." Xu Ming introduced:
"You young people are very familiar with it, just one or two sentences!" Uncle Fang said:
"Why don't you leave? You can perform two more shows here." Xi'er interrupted:
Uncle Fang then said: It’s okay to play a few more shows.
but!
"Our family will pay for it, and your performance will not be in vain." Xi'er said:
Uncle Fang said: You are a young lady in the house, you cannot be the master.
Xi'er replied: I can make the decision, my father is very good to me, and my grandma is even better to me.
Uncle Fang replied: As long as your father asks, we can stay.
Xi'er was in a good mood. She went over to hold Xu Ming's hand and cheered: I want to watch a show, I want to watch a show.
At noon, a battle formation began in the hall of Feng Mansion.
The eldest lady was furious and shouted: Xi'er, you can tell yourself! what have you done!
Xi'er responded: What have I done!
The eldest lady continued: "You go and ask the troupe to stay early in the morning. What do you want to do?"
Xi'er replied: I want to go to the theater, and I want to watch it for two more days.
The eldest lady then said: What are you trying to do in front of me? What happened between you and that guy...
"Shut up." The eldest lady shouted:
Xi'er grabbed the old lady and said coquettishly: "Grandma, my mother will scold me, isn't it just a matter of a little money?" She is unyielding to me!
The eldest lady said fiercely: "Be more serious."
Xi'er shouted: Dad, give me some advice! Damn her!
The eldest lady shouted: I don’t want to be wordy with you, come here.
Xi'er walked over reluctantly.
"Xier, that guy your mother just mentioned, that guy..." the old lady called:
Xi'er hesitated and said: He, him!
The eldest lady yelled: You are holding a man's hand in public, do you still have any sense of shame?
Xi'er replied: Why did I hold his hand? I like him, I love him.
The third lady said: Xi'er, what does liking mean? what is love! Do you understand!
"I understand, I feel like I have lost my soul when I can't see him! I feel like a zombie!" Xi'er replied:
The third lady then said: I don’t care whether you understand it or not! You talk to your mother - have a nice attitude and talk to her if you have something to say!
Xi'er responded: "Sanniang, please don't dissuade me!" My mother is not you, she is not as open-minded as you, and she will not agree with my virginity boyfriend.
The old lady said: Xi'er, sit down and tell grandma if you have something to say.
Xi'er sat on the stool and said: Grandma, do you still remember what I asked you yesterday?
Actually, that person is myself.
You said, it was love at first sight. I am very lucky to have met him and met him in my life...
"Who is he! What is his character! Is his family situation good? Do you understand!" The eldest lady said anxiously:
Xi'er replied: I will understand later.
The old lady said: Xi'er, this matter cannot be taken lightly.
After all, getting married is a lifelong matter, and you need to know more about it.
Xi'er said: Grandma, I want to know more, so I asked the troupe to stay for two more days. However, my mother would scold me and she would not listen to Xi'er's explanation at all.
"I understand. No one is allowed to make this matter public. Xi'er, you have to take care of yourself." The old lady said:
Xi'er hugged the old lady and said with a smile: "Grandma is the best."
The old lady hugged Xi'er and said with a smile: This girl wants to get married.
In the afternoon, Xier met Xu Ming.
Xu Ming saw Xi'er standing outside the house and asked, "Miss, please come inside!"
Xi'er walked into the room and sat down on the stool.
"Miss, let me get you a cup of tea." Xu Ming called:
"Xu Ming, sit down." Xi'er shouted:
Xu Ming looked at Xi'er's posture and gathered around her calmly.
Colleagues in the troupe heard the conversation between Xu Ming and the eldest lady and walked out of the theater one after another.
Xi'er stood up, hugged Xu Ming with both hands, and said: Xu Ming, I am in front of you, I will not hide anything! I like you and I want to be friends with you. Tell me directly whether you like me or not.
Xu Ming was stunned and said: This!
"What do you like about me?" Xu Ming asked:
"I can't tell, I just like you." Xi'er replied:
Xu Mingdao: What did your parents say? What did your family say!
Xi'er replied: You don't care what they say! I ask you! Do you like me or not?
Xu Ming said: You are the eldest lady and I am a handyman in the theater troupe. Do you think we are suitable?
Xi'er shouted: My name is: Feng Xi, you call me Xi'er, I don't care who you are! It doesn't matter if you like me!
Xu Ming opened Xi'er's hand and said: Xi'er, let me think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow.
Xi'er was obviously a little disappointed and replied: I will wait for you in the lobby tomorrow.
Xu Ming muttered: Let's see you tomorrow!
Xi'er whispered: See you tomorrow!
At noon on the 17th, Xu Ming just stepped into the hall.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" the steward (Bob) asked:
Xu Ming asked: Old man, who is in charge in your house?
Bob replied: It's the old lady.
No, it’s the young master.
Xu Ming bowed and said: Old man, please go and inform the masters in the house! I said I have something to ask for advice!
Bob said: Sir, later.
Soon, Mr. Feng walked in supporting the old lady.
Xu Mingli said: Madam, I am well! Well, young master!
The old lady replied: "Young man, you don't have to be polite."
"Mom, sit down on the chair in front of you." Feng Caizhu called:
"Your Majesty, I'll go on my own." The old lady said:
In an instant, more and more people gathered in the hall.
Xu Ming bent over and said with a bow: Hello, masters!
Xi'er went over and held Xu Ming's hand, calling: "Xu Ming."
Xu Ming pushed Xi'er away with his hand and said: Masters, I have been here for two days. During these two days, the eldest lady has taken great care of me. I am extremely grateful to her.
Even, feeling emotional...
"So! It's you who entangled Xi'er..." the eldest lady said:
"Xu Ming didn't pester me!" Xi'er replied:
"We like each other, and I want to hear your opinions." Xu Ming said:
"Opinions! Are our opinions important?" The eldest lady sneered:
"Madam, what do you mean?" Xu Ming responded:
The eldest lady then said: I don’t mean anything! I told you to get out.
Xu Ming replied: Why do you want me to get out!
"She is my biological mother." Xi'er came forward and said softly:
Xu Ming bowed and apologized: Aunt, Xu Ming was offended.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is: Xu Ming. I am 19 years old. I live in Shangrao, Jiangxi. My family has 100 acres of fertile land. There are 13 people in the family. My parents are still alive. I am the second son. There are seven brothers and sisters in total." Ming introduced:
"Where do you live? What do you have in your house? Who cares about it!" The eldest lady shouted:
"Qin Yue (Madam), listen to him." Rich Master Feng shouted:
The eldest lady said: He is a liar. His family has hundreds of acres of fertile land. What is he doing in Hunan?
Xu Ming replied: Auntie, I ran away this time because my parents forcibly married me. I told my parents many times that I have never met her, she has never understood me, and I have never promised her. There is nothing between us. Love, the marriage between the two of them is best given up!
But the parents said! There is a matchmaker's advice and my parents' orders, and I am not allowed to disobey them.
I am stubborn by nature, on the eve of getting married.
I waited for an opportunity to escape.
After I came out, I met Uncle Fang, the leader of the regiment. Fortunately, he took him in. I worked as a helper in the regiment and then came here...
"Xu Ming's words are reasonable and reasonable, but there is no basis for what he says!" The old lady interrupted:
Xu Ming hesitated and said: Otherwise! Send someone to accompany me back to my hometown.
The eldest lady said disdainfully: Your home is far away in Shangrao, Jiangxi, and it is thousands of miles away from here. It is not easy to come and go!
Xu Ming was silent for a long time and said: The implication of these masters!
He took two steps back and whispered: Xu Ming takes leave.
Xi'er held Xu Ming back and said: I don't care who he is! I don't care about his family background either, I like him and I want to go with him.
The eldest lady said loudly: As a girl, you have not yet left the government. If you meet a man, you must follow him! Can you save some face for yourself?
Xi'er replied: I don't have any shame, I like him, I love him, I will marry him.
The eldest lady shouted: You can't get married!
Xi'er responded: I can get married. If the groom is not him, I would rather die.
The old lady shouted: Damn it.
Xi'er said: Grandma, I speak straightforwardly, and everything I say is true.
The eldest lady scolded: If you quarrel with him again, I will kill you! so I!
The old lady said: My eldest daughter-in-law, don’t argue with Xi’er, and Xi’er, don’t talk nonsense either! What the eldest daughter-in-law said is not without some truth. Xu Ming is a foreigner. Just let him go. Have you ever thought about it? Parents, relatives, I miss you so much!
"Grandma, I don't want to give up either. I can't let go of everything in my hometown. As the old saying goes, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." I have to give up one of them. I hope my grandma, father, and mother will be happy!" Xi'er bowed and said:
The eldest lady shouted: If you insist on going! I sever the mother-daughter relationship with you.
Hearing this, Xu Ming strode out.
Xi'er shouted: Xu Ming, you are not allowed to leave.
Xu Ming stopped and said: Auntie, there is no need for you mother and daughter to make you unhappy because of me. The matter between me and the eldest lady is over now!
"Xu Ming, don't even think about leaving me, me!" Xi'er said anxiously:
Xu Ming continued: Aunt, if you ask the eldest lady to go with me, I promise that she will not be wronged...
"You speak nicely." The eldest lady said with a face:
"Qin Yue (Madam), let Xi'er make her own decision." Rich Master Feng shouted:
Xi'er replied: I am willing, I am willing.
The eldest lady beat her chest and cried: I don't want to, you damn girl.
"Qin Yue, my daughter will get married when she grows up, and you can't do that!" Rich Master Feng advised:
The eldest lady wiped away her tears and replied: She is my daughter, she is not your daughter...
"Ruan Qinyue, what are you talking about!" the old lady shouted:
The eldest lady covered her mouth and cried: wuwu~
