A group of people walked out of the town in a donkey cart.
The space between heaven and earth opens up, and Nanguan Mountain stretches for dozens of miles in the distance. The sun is warm in the depths of spring, and the locust trees on both sides of the rural road are turning green. In the lush green, apricots, peach blossoms, and wild pears are blooming one after another, and even the gentle wind is tainted with the fragrance of the flowers.
A Zhen sat on the flatbed truck, bathed in the spring light, and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
The little face was no longer serious, with a relaxed smile on its face.
The donkey cart walked steadily on the mountain road, and the shadow guard became more and more skilled in driving the donkey cart.
There was no difficulty in communicating with people of the same age. Soon Bai Sanzhuang and Tian Maimiao knew that the shadow guard's name was Wu Xiaoying, and his job was A Zhen's bodyguard and coachman.
"My family suffered a flood when I was a child, so I was sold to the young master's house to do menial labor. I didn't have enough food or clothing to keep warm. Because I was strong and smart, when I grew up, I looked after the young master's home and nursed the home, so I had enough to eat. "Wu Xiaoying confided with a sad face.
A Zhen: "..."
Isn't this Xie Xiaolian's script?
Wait, when did their family stop the people who followed them from having enough food and clothing?
Wu Xiaoying, do you think I don’t know about your big house in Beijing?
It's not like I asked you to come with me to see the nursing home. You came here just to avoid your censor's father's stick, okay?
A Zhen looked at the sky speechlessly.
As Bai Sanzhuang, who worked as a waiter for others, he deeply sympathized with Wu Xiaoying.
"When I work for people, I always have to be careful. If I'm not careful, my money will be deducted. Let's just talk about it. If this donkey doesn't obey, I will have to deduct my money. Brother Bai, you don't know, this kind of thing happens more and more every day. I have a monthly salary. I only have a few dollars, so I can't bear to withhold it. I've always wanted to eat the roast chicken drunk by Qingfeng in the town, but I don't have the money to buy it." Wu Xiaoying, the coachman, said pitifully to Bai Sanzhuang.
Although Bai Sanzhuang sympathized with him, he also felt that his words were a bit exaggerated. He had been to A Zhen's mansion, and the people who followed him could not even afford roast chicken.
And he didn't believe that A Zhen would be okay so he took money randomly.
When Wu Xiaoying said this, she didn't want him to ask for favors.
Bai Sanzhuang understood instantly——
"Ah Zhen, Brother Xiaoying didn't do it on purpose. As for the donkey thing... don't take any money from him." Bai Sanzhuang turned to plead with Ah Zhen on behalf of Wu Xiaoying.
A Zhen snorted with a small face. Brother Sanzhuang was indeed simple and innocent, but he was deceived by that guy with just a few words.
hateful!
Double deduction!
"Wu Xiaoying, I see that your clothes are trimmed with silver thread, and you still say you are poor?" Tian Maimiao exposed Wu Xiaoying mercilessly, "Fortunately, the big bone just rolled down. If it had hit A Zhen's face, it would have broken." If you can't find a wife after becoming prime minister, let's see how I deal with you."
A Zhen: "..."
Wu Xiaoying laughed awkwardly after being exposed: "These clothes are not mine, they were worn by the young master as a reward for me."
Bai Sanzhuang said: "Azhen is so tall? Can you wear his clothes?"
Wu Xiaoying: "Others don't know this. I'm just telling you that the young master often acts like an adult at home."
Bai Sanzhuang: "..."
Tian Maimiao: "..."
A Zhen: "..."
The donkey cart drove for about an hour before arriving at Shenshu Village.
Under the big tree at the entrance of Shenshu Village, the Bagua Army who had returned from working in the fields saw Bai Sanzhuang on the donkey cart and greeted him in all directions.
"The mistress of the Bai family is here."
"Oh, the young man driving the car with you is very energetic. Is he your companion?"
"This girl has beautiful eyebrows and pretty eyes. Is she the daughter-in-law brought by Sanzhuang?"
"Hey, the three strong wives, isn't that shopkeeper Xu's daughter?"
"Who is this young man? His clothes don't look like those worn by ordinary people. He belongs to the Young Master's family, right?"
"I never heard that Shopkeeper Xu has a son."
"Auntie, you don't know. It's said that rich people are looking for children outside. Maybe they were born by concubines."
…
Are all the aunts and sisters-in-law in Shenshu Village so enthusiastic?
Wu Xiaoying sat next to Bai Sanzhuang, the corner of her mouth twitching.
Hahaha, who is the little master they arranged? Shopkeeper Xu’s concubine gave birth to the wild younger brother of the eldest lady today?
Why is it so funny?
Wu Xiaoying opened his mouth, then closed it again when A Zhen glared at him, his face twisted in pain.
Bai Sanzhuang didn't hear the other words clearly. He only heard that the girl with flying eyebrows and handsome eyes was his wife, and his face turned red.
The Gossip Army doesn't care whether Bai Sanzhuang can chat with them or not, or whether they can answer their questions. What's important is that there is a lively sense of participation in the discussion.
Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the Bagua Army, Bai Sanzhuang pulled the reins and drove the donkey cart to the gate of Bai's yard.
"Uncle San is here." Dalang and Sanlang had sharp eyes. When they saw Bai Sanzhuang on the donkey cart, they rushed to the door with a roar and jumped to shout.
"Third brother is here." Bai Zhaomei squatted at the door and gritted her teeth, "Third brother, I still have half an hour to finish."
Xie Xiaolian had just come out of the toilet on tiptoe. She had just tightened her belt and was giving a lecture to her newly minted apprentice Bai Zhaomei. Affected by the noise around her, she saw Wu Xiaoying staring at her legs with sympathy on her face.
Isn't Xie Xiaolian a cat in the mountains? Why did he show up at Bai's house?
He was about to curse a few words, but a familiar figure of a young boy fell into his eyes.
No way, he spread the word last night and asked for money. Shouldn't he quietly leave the money at the door of Bai's house? Why bother the young master to mobilize all the people to deliver it in person?
"Master." Xie Xiaolian walked to A Zhen's side.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Wu Xiaoying looked unfamiliar and winked at Xie Xiaolian.
I was warned when I came to Nanguan Town not to be exposed outside.
"Wu Xiaoying, don't you know who I am?" Xie Xiaolian sneered.
But pull it off, and don't play an unfamiliar plot in front of the Bai family, it's pointless.
Bai Sanzhuang and Tian Maimiao are a bit petrified. What's going on? Why is there a young man at Bai's house who calls A Zhen young master when he sees him?
The young boy looked past Xie Xiaolian and searched the yard.
Little Fuyuan was picking henna among the flowers. When she heard the noise, she knew that the third brother was coming. She jumped out of the flowers and ran towards the door.
When the little boy saw the running little red figure, he couldn't help but smile.
"Third brother!" Xiao Fuyuan shouted to Bai Sanzhuang.
Hey, there are others.
"Sister Mai Miao."
"Little brother."
Xiao Fuyuan greeted her sweetly, with a smile that was more delicate than the henna in the yard.
"Sister, the third brother brought you halva, roast chicken and big meat buns." Bai Sanzhuang held Xiao Fuyuan in his arms and shook him hard. He felt that his sister had lost weight these days.
Alas, the family conditions are not well-off and the food is not good, which makes my sister suffer.
"Come on, Xiao Yuanbao, let me give you a hug." Tian Maimiao reached out to Xiao Fuyuan, took her into his arms, and kissed her forehead.
Hey, I didn’t give you lard last time, but I finally got it this time. Why is the pink and tender face so cute? Tian Maimiao said happily: "Sister brought you big ribs, they are delicious."
"Thank you, sister." Xiao Fuyuan clasped his hands together and blessed Chaoda Maimiao.
"Little sister." A Zhen interjected.
He also wanted to hug his little sister, but Sister Mai Miao wouldn't let go.
"Little sister, I brought you candied haws and hibiscus cake." A Zhen pointed towards the carriage. The thick grass handles were filled with red candied haws. Coming out is even more tempting.
Xiao Fuyuan slipped down from Tian Maimiao's arms, went to hold A Zhen's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother."
Dalang Sanlang looked at the food on the donkey cart and wanted to drool with greed, but he tried his best to hold it back. Thanks to his aunt, he was able to feast again today. Dalang Sanlang decided that his filial piety to his aunt should not just be lip service in the future.
Everyone was talking and laughing lively, except Bai Zhaomei, who was holding back her saliva and stomping around, thinking to herself, Master, please wake me up quickly.
His master, Xie Xiaolian, was hugging Wu Xiaoying and biting his ear.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen took Xie Chuntao and Eugene Gui back home after washing their clothes in the river. When they passed by the village entrance, they heard the Bagua Army saying that Bai Sanzhuang was back and brought a girl with him.
The four of them hurried home as if they were scratching their heads.
From a distance, Mrs. Zhen felt happy when she saw Tian Maimiao, who was unloading pork from a donkey cart and talking to little Fuyuan with a smile.
Old Mrs. Bai looked at Mrs. Zhen and said, "That girl is Tian Maimiao, the girl I mentioned to you last time who owns the pig-killing shop."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen became even more delighted with the girl.
"Those two were brought by the third brother as well? Mom, look at the clothes that young man is wearing. You have never seen such fabric." Xie Chuntao said.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen looked at each other and realized that this young boy was probably the child Bai Sanzhuang saved back then, and the owner of the jade pendant around Xiao Fuyuan's neck.
I don’t know what you’re here for, but since we’re all home, let’s take a look.
