The water in the river is clear, and the boat is moving quickly, keeping company with the sun and moon, and the egrets, seven people in a boat, heading westward. After a few days of good food and drink, peace of mind, serious injuries turned into minor injuries, and minor injuries disappeared without a trace.
"Mrs. Zhang, Hujiazhuang has arrived." The fisherman stopped his bamboo pole and said happily.
Zhuo Yifei woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and took a look. On a whim, he jumped up and shouted: "Here we are, I'm getting married!"
Bai Yutian stood up, patted Zhuo Yifei's shoulder lightly, and said happily: "That's right! If Yanqing of the Hu family hears your shout, he will definitely hide in your arms. I couldn’t close my eyes for three days and three nights.”
Zhang Yaner smiled and said: "Brother Bai, you are wrong. You should be reluctant to leave for thirty years."
Zhuo Yifei turned around and smiled, saying: "Thirty years is too little. I would be reluctant to leave it for three lifetimes."
Xiao Ruoyun held Zhang Tianhao's hand and said to Zhuo Yifei with joy on his face: "Xiao Zhuo, you can make the most of this life. There is no need to be too greedy."
Gu Huai was helped by Bai Yutian to stand up and answered: "What about this life? My stomach is not full today. Why are you thinking so far away?"
When Zhang Yanyan heard this, she felt as if her stomach was cold from hunger. She supported Gu Huai with two small hands and said with a smile, "Grandpa Gu is still considerate and knows that Yan'er is hungry."
Gu Huai smiled and said: "Yan'er is the most sensible and knows that Grandpa Gu is hungry!"
The seven people were laughing in a group. When they looked towards the river bank, they saw the noise of the small town on the bank, and their stomachs instantly became excited.
The boat slowly docked. Xiao Ruoyun paid the boat fare and said to the boatman: "Brother Zhao, let's go ashore together and have lunch before leaving."
Fisherman Lao Zhao saw that Xiao Ruoyun paid a little too much for the ferry fare, so he thanked him and said, "My wife paid a lot for the ferry fare. If I waste my money any more, my wife will definitely gossip about me."
The six people came ashore, and the fisherman Lao Zhao kept thanking him and rowed away, sailing away with the wind and the river.
Zhang Yan'er supported Gu Huai as she searched for the restaurant. When she turned a corner, her eyes suddenly flashed with joy and she said with a smile, "Oh! You dear, isn't this the name I like!"
Yesterday the sun set in the west, but today the sun is high in the sky. I didn’t find a chance to eat in between. Who can not be hungry!
The five people looked at Zhang Yan'er's voice, and the five characters "Just for a meal" flashed into their eyes, and they immediately beamed with joy.
Bai Yutian had sharp eyes and read the words on both sides of the door frame: "You come with an empty stomach, and I'll leave with a full stomach. I look forward to coming again next time, and I'll say goodbye and go slowly!"
Zhang Yanyan said happily: "Brother Bai, is this a couplet?"
Zhuo Yifei answered: "Don't worry about the mismatch, just recite it to feel comfortable."
The six of them hurriedly walked towards the "just for one meal" without taking a step further.
Arriving at the door of the restaurant, just as I was about to take another step forward, a drunkard walked out like crazy. The two drunk steps didn't cross properly and bumped into Zhuo Yifei's arm. If Zhuo Yifei hadn't been strong, he would have been almost knocked away.
Gu Huai saw that the drunkard didn't even know how to apologize, so he grabbed the drunkard's sleeve and said, "Hero, you are so short-sighted in walking, are you rushing to get a good pregnancy?"
The man raised his eyebrows and spurted out a mouthful of spittle. As soon as it reached his mouth, he was unable to move forward. It stayed on the beard on his chin, which was a bit ugly. He was drunk and said: "Lao Gu, you don't know, then Hu Yiqiu is going to sell his daughter! It's a pity that I don't have a share."
Gu Huai said: "Tell me, you have been brothers with Hu Yiqiu for so many years, and you just don't help me even if you are half-helping. You still think about these worrying things. You really don't have a good heart."
The man smiled and said, "It's our nature to like beautiful things because of food and sex. Besides, I haven't really found a wife yet, so there's nothing wrong with being tempted."
Zhang Tianhao said: "Brother Yucai, why are you drinking here? Why don't you go talk to him, Hu Yiqiu, to reason!"
The man smiled stupidly and said, "No, the most I can do is go have a wedding drink."
Xiao Ruoyun smiled and said: "Brother Liu, they are selling their daughter. If you sell the manor as a betrothal gift, then you can go and fight for it!"
Liu Yucao gently waved the palm of his right hand in front of him and said: "That damn Hu Yiqiu said that his daughter is only nineteen years old and his son-in-law must be twenty-five years old or younger."
Gu Huai said with a smile: "You can't pass the first level, so just have a cup of wedding wine in peace!"
Liu Yucai staggered drunkenly, shook his head twice, and said, "You are so unsympathetic to me!"
Gu Huai said: "Xiao Liu, tell me, do you have a good heart? Do you really want to be a gentleman? Do you care about your reputation? Do you feel guilty when you see a beautiful woman?"
Liu Yucai shook his body and replied with a smile: "That's right! I, Liu Yucai, have been traveling around the world for more than 20 years, and I have never followed anyone else to do bad things. I have never followed any woman with evil intentions. , I have never disgraced the reputation of my master, I have never..."
Zhang Tianhao answered: "Isn't that right? Go back and have a good sleep. When you wake up, go and apologize to Huang Xiuying, ask for forgiveness, and marry her into your family. She came all the way from the Yellow River Chasing you south, I won’t be able to chase you away, so don’t waste a lifetime of friendship with me.”
Liu Yucai asked stupidly: "Do you think she will forgive me?"
Xiao Ruoyun smiled and replied: "You just don't understand women's hearts, and you deserve to be alone for so many years. You built a manor on that ruthless slope to settle down, and they built a thatched house at the foot of that hillside to live there. They stayed with you for ten years. , not moving even an inch, just so that I can look at you a few more times and have comfort in my heart."
Liu Yucai said suspiciously: "Then I really owe her a lot!"
Xiao Ruoyun replied: "You don't owe her much, you only owe her ten years of wonderful life. If you can buy a "bridal night" today and drink it with her, you won't owe her anything tomorrow."
Liu Yucai smiled and said, "Don't lie to me. I don't like to make a fool of myself."
Gu Huai said impatiently: "Hurry up and buy the best one. Walk more steadily and don't knock the wine over halfway."
Liu Yucai said happily: "I asked someone to help me send him there. Even if his steps are unsteady, he won't be able to fight."
Zhang Tianhao smiled and said: "Hey, you stupid boy, you just figured it out today, it's rare! Go quickly and say all the good words, don't hold it back anymore."
Liu Yucai said with a silly smile: "Actually, there is nothing to say. Just one sentence, it is better to harm each other than to help each other. Am I right?"
Xiao Ruoyun said quickly: "Brother Liu, you have been confused for half your life, but now you have said something clear."
Liu Yucao tilted his body and said, "That's good. I really shouldn't face her if I don't."
Gu Huai said: "What is there to face? Her master harmed your master, but she was not involved. You avenged your master, but she saved you. She has no hatred for you, only kindness. You are for him, There is no kindness or grudge. When two pure hearts are connected together, no one should say anything idle about heaven, earth, oneself and others."
Liu Yucai's eyes became moist and he replied: "Gu Gu, shouldn't others gossip?"
Gu Huai said: "Her master did many evil things and deserved his death. She has no revenge to take, so there is no need to bear any grudge against you. If others gossip, they are evil-hearted, and you should treat them as enemies."
Liu Yucai turned around and said to Zhang Tianhao: "Old Zhang, my master's revenge has been avenged, and I have to thank you!"
Zhang Tianhao said: "If you really want to thank me, just listen to my Ruoyun and keep Huang Xiuying by your side for the rest of your life. Don't drink and drink outside all day long, making people look worried."
Liu Yucai said with a smile: "Then it's agreed. Once I accompany her, I'll treat it as repaying your kindness."
Xiao Ruoyun pushed Liu Yucai gently and said: "Go quickly, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, you can also come and fall in love with each other."
Liu Yucai smiled drunkenly, took a drunken step, and headed towards the northern sky. Although the steps were a little skewed, the direction was definitely correct.
Seeing Liu Yucai's swaying figure, Bai Yutian felt a little chilled. Deep in his heart, he gradually felt lonely. He unconsciously thought of Cui Yingying, and it was difficult to distinguish between hatred and love.
As soon as Xiao Ruoyun stepped across the threshold, he heard a voice: "Mom, it's over here!"
The five of them looked towards where the sound came from. Zhang Yanyan was sitting at a table in the left corner, drinking tea and eating vegetables.
Xiao Ruoyun smiled bitterly, walked over, and scolded: "You are the only one who is hungry, and you don't look like a girl at all."
Gu Huai was helped to sit down and said with a smile: "Of all things, eating is the most important thing." He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Zhang Yanyan poured a cup of tea for Bai Yutian and asked, "Who was that person just now? We have been chatting for so long."
"I don't know him, and he doesn't know me." Bai Yutian drank the tea and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
Gu Huai quickly moved his chopsticks a few times, drank a glass of water and wine, and said to Zhuo Yifei: "You heard what Liu Yucai said just now, what did you think?"
Zhuo Yifei paid tribute to Gu Huai and Zhang Tianhao, and said with a silly smile: "Gu Huai, what do I think I should think?"
Zhang Yanyan chewed the braised pork in her mouth, swallowed it, and interjected: "Whoever wants to have a wife."
Zhuo Yifei gave a sharp look and said, "I didn't tell you!"
Bai Yutian answered: "I tell you, after dinner, I'll beat you up. If Hu Yiqiu doesn't marry his daughter to you, I'll beat him until he's convinced."
Xiao Ruoyun teased: "That's how it should be. Fighting as soon as there is a disagreement, you are a gangster!"
Bai Yutian heard about it, smiled bitterly, and started eating.
Zhang Yaner said: "The question is, can you beat him?"
Gu Huai said: "Why can't we beat him? There are still me and your father!"
Zhuo Yifei said happily: "And me!"
Zhang Tianhao smiled and said: "If you can't do it, then there will be a son-in-law who beats his father-in-law."
Bai Yutian swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "You don't have to do anything, I can beat him back to twenty years ago with one slap, and watch him look miserable when he chased his wife."
Zhang Yanyan sneered and said, "You can't do it. You're so injured that you can't beat him."
Gu Huai said: "If there's anything he can't defeat, how dare he, Hu Yiqiu, to fight back."
Zhang Yan'er asked with half a mouthful of rice in her mouth: "Why?"
Zhang Tianhao smiled and replied: "How dare he, Hu Yiqiu, the master of Hujiazhuang, bully an injured young man? Moreover, he is Jiang Qingcheng's apprentice."
The waiter brought the last dish, fried pork with green peppers, handed over a bottle of wine, and walked away.
When Xiao Ruoyun saw that the dishes were all served, he said, "Eat quickly. If we go late and the marriage is decided, we may not have the final say on whether to use force or not."
At this moment, two young and beautiful women walked in. One woman had tears in the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.
Bai Yutian accidentally saw it and gently moved Zhuo Yifei.
Zhuo Yifei looked up, walked over absentmindedly, and gave him a sweet and lovely smile.
