Spring rain is as precious as oil.
Before the beginning of summer, it rained steadily, moistening the fields.
When the rain stopped and the sun came out to shine on the earth, it was already the sixth day of the fourth lunar month.
The day when Rich Man Li of Lijia Village took in his concubine in the eleventh house.
I finally stayed up late at night, and it was time to turn on the lamp.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang put on their night clothes again and covered their faces with black scarves.
Under the cover of darkness, he lurked under the wall of the courtyard of Rich Master Li's house.
Both are rich men from the same side, and the Li Family Courtyard and the Zuo Family Courtyard are simply not on the same level.
Zuo's courtyard is completely a large courtyard of a wealthy farmhouse.
As for the Li family, they are exaggerated and domineering at first glance.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the courtyard door with a red lantern hanging in front of her. There were a bunch of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts parked there.
The rules in this area, such as marrying a wife, are to welcome the bride in broad daylight.
As for taking concubines and marrying young wives, they have to be brought in at night.
So right now, there's a lot of commotion in the front yard.
Rich Man Li's friends, relatives and villagers who were wary of his power and wanted to curry favor with him all came to send gifts and congratulate him.
"The firecrackers haven't been set off yet, so my concubine should still be on her way."
"Most of the people here should be in the front yard and kitchen. Rich Master Li is definitely also entertaining guests in the front yard. Let's sneak in from behind the courtyard wall."
Yang Ruoqing discussed it with Luo Fengtang in a low voice.
So, the two of them hunkered down and quietly lurked under the wall to the backyard. <>
"Grandma, you are a bear. This old guy must have a treasury hidden in his house."
Under the backyard wall, Yang Ruoqing looked at the courtyard wall, which was almost as high as the city gate, and couldn't help but complain.
Luo Fengtang also raised his head and looked at the high courtyard wall.
"It's just high enough. The walls are made of smooth bluestone slabs," he said.
He glanced around again: "Perhaps he was worried that someone would use external force to climb the wall. All the big trees nearby have been cut down!"
"If I'm not wrong, there must be sharp blades and thorns stuck on top of this wall," he said.
Yang Ruoqing held her chin and looked at the impregnable courtyard wall.
After hearing his analysis, she nodded.
"Your guess is reasonable," she said.
"Look at the old dog's city defense. Even if the iron hook we brought can reach the top of the wall, it probably won't hit the other side of the wall."
she speculated.
Maybe there is a trap or a vicious dog's kennel under the wall.
Luo Fengtang frowned.
"Old guy, it's so well-defended, it's definitely not simple inside!" he said.
"How to get in?"
His eyes glanced around.
Yang Ruoqing is also looking for it.
My eyes followed the root of the wall. <>
"Qing'er, what are you looking for?" he asked.
"Dog hole," she said.
"Uh..." He had black lines all over his head.
"Ha, found it!" She became happy and waved to him.
He came over to take a look and found that there was indeed an inconspicuous dog hole.
Yang Ruoqing knelt down and pulled at the dog, as if she wanted to make the dog's hole bigger.
But soon, she stopped in frustration.
"It can't be dug," she said.
I'm afraid even a shovel and a hammer can't open it, and it's almost enough to blow it up with gunpowder.
But where could she get gunpowder?
Even if you get gunpowder, it won't be easy to explode!
"It's hard for me to squeeze into this dog hole, but with your body, you can't even hope for it."
She turned her head and looked at him, and said depressedly.
Luo Fengtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
In all his life, he has never been in a dog hole.
Fortunately... I can't get in!
"Qing'er, if that doesn't work out, let's disguise ourselves and sneak in through the front entrance!" he suggested.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "I saw it earlier. The housekeeper of Lao Gou Li's family and A Qiang's gang were guarding the courtyard and guarding the door."
"Except for those familiar guests, everyone else who comes to congratulate us either has an invitation or is being questioned carefully. It will be difficult for us to get in!"
she said. <>
"What should we do? We can't come here in vain. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long it will be until the next time!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing pinched her chin, her eyes outside the scarf rolling around.
"Mount Everest can't stop my sister, why don't you believe this is evil!"
She said to herself.
Start your brain at full speed, think and think...
Ding dong!
Something suddenly struck her mind, and her eyes lit up.
"Haha, I thought of it!"
she said excitedly.
"What's the idea?" he asked quickly.
"Hehe, we can't say it now. Come with me and hurry up. If it's too late, it'll be too late!"
Without any explanation, he grabbed him and ran towards the outside of Lijia Village like a gust of wind.
Behind Lijia Village, there is a small forest.
At this time, two bearers carrying a sedan were coming over there.
Beside the sedan, there was a short woman following.
As he walked, he urged the two bearers: "You two should walk faster. It has delayed the auspicious time of Mr. Li's bridal chamber. No one of us can bear the blame!"
The two bearers quickened their pace.
At this moment, the bearer walking in front suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong with you?"
The woman shouted and asked.
The bearer in front said: "No, no, no, I'm upset, I have to go take a dip!"
After that, he put down the wooden frame of the sedan chair on his shoulders, clutched his stomach and ran into the woods before disappearing.
"You're the only one who has a lot to do and got into trouble three times along the way..."
The woman cursed at the back of the bearer.
Then, he also sat on a stone nearby and rested with the handkerchief in his hand.
Another bearer walked to the grass nearby, opened his pants and peeed.
At this moment, two black figures slipped over from behind them.
Almost at the same moment, their mouths and noses were covered from behind.
Then, he was knocked unconscious and dragged deep into the woods.
"Quickly, put this on."
Yang Ruoqing took off the sedan bearer's clothes and handed them to Luo Fengtang.
Then, he took off the coat of the woman who looked like a matchmaker and put it on herself.
Fortunately, they are about the same size.
After glancing at the woman's face, which was smeared like a monkey's butt, Yang Ruoqing opened the dowry box in the woman's hand.
In addition to posts about generating horoscopes, there are also some rouge and gouache.
She quickly wiped it on her face.
Using the charcoal pencil used to draw eyebrows, he drew a beard on Luo Fengtang's handsome face based on the bearer's facial features.
"Haha, you look so majestic with your beard, I'm afraid..."
she joked.
But his head is full of black lines.
He glanced at the chest of the woman lying on the ground, and then at her chest.
"Want to play the full set?" he asked.
She was stunned for a moment, and then realized what his meaningless words meant.
"Hey, simple, look at me!"
She turned around, lowered her head, and stuffed something unknown into her chest.
When she quickly turned around again, her chest was visibly bulging.
"How's it going? Does it look like it now?"
She winked at him and deliberately pushed up the pair of things on her chest.
The corner of Luo Fengtang's mouth twitched violently.
This girl is so good at playing!
