After Xu Qinyu heard the words of the three aunts, she clicked her tongue in her heart, and secretly said: It seems that people really can't do bad things. Look at the retribution of the Luo family so quickly?

The Luo family's mother and son have been abandoned. In the future, the old man Luo will have to support and take care of the two of them. Think about how the Luo family will live in the future.

It can only be said that the life of old man Luo will be worse than that of the mother and son of the Luo family, because he not only has to make money to take care of the family, but also to take care of two waste people.

It's just retribution.

Two more days later, Xu Qinyu heard from Chen's mouth again that the old man Luo moved out of Yuanbao Town with his stupid old wife and his broken leg son, and the family left completely.

In the past two days, Lin's work has been more energetic, and the debt has been repaid, and there is no need to worry about her daughter being robbed and sold. She just wants to work hard and save enough money to buy a house.

Xu Qinyu didn't take this matter to heart anymore. Since then, the Luo family and her, and the latter half of their lives with the Lin family, have almost no interaction.

It's just that Xu Feng heard about this and knew that Luo Dagen was beaten by two groups of people that night to rob him of his money, so he realized that something was not right. He asked Tao Qi and the three to follow Aunt Lin. The matter wouldn't have something to do with them, would it?

Xu Feng was a little worried, he just asked Tao Qi and the others to stare at Luo Dagen, just don't bully Aunt Lin.

If something goes wrong, it will be bad, and it will also bring trouble to the restaurant.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask Tao Qi.

Even if Luo Dagen deserved it, he couldn't rob him of his money.

In fact, Xu Feng felt that it was not Tao Qi and the three who were stealing the money, but the three of them must have done something to Luo Dagen.

Xu Feng went to Tao Qi, and Tao Qi felt a little guilty when he saw people.

He was a little worried when he heard that Luo Dagen was beaten and robbed of money again.

If Luo Dagen was just beaten by them, it would be fine when he went home, but after they left, Luo Dagen was beaten again, his leg was broken, and his money was stolen. The nature is more serious.

Luo Dagen will definitely report to the officials. If the yamen finds them, it will be bad if they break Luo Dagen's legs and rob him of his money.

Beating and maiming and robbery are severe punishments. Fifty big boards are indispensable, and they have to go to jail.

Although they didn't do it, they were indeed the one who beat the first meal.

"Brother Feng, why are you here?"

Xu Feng said: "I'm here to ask about Luo Dagen, you didn't fight him, right?"

Tao Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Feng, we just don't like him, we beat him with a sack while he was walking on the dark road. , and then went home to wash up and go to bed. The rest is really not our job. It is estimated that the people from Beijie saw that he received Lin's money and followed him all the way. After we beat him, That person also took the opportunity."

They were also very depressed, and they couldn't go to the yamen to tell the county magistrate that although they beat Luo Dagen, they were not the ones who broke his leg and robbed him of his money.

After listening to Xu Feng, he said, "That should be fine, as long as you don't rob them of their money."

Tao Qi scratched his head and said, "How dare we do this, Brother Feng, don't worry, we didn't do it, and it won't cause trouble to Sister Lin and Xu Ji."

It wasn't because Tao Qi and the others did it, so Xu Feng left.

Fortunately, after two days, the yamen also found some other clues. The person who robbed Luo Dagen of the money was the same as Dan Niang, who swept away more than 40 taels of money from Luo Dagen's family.

After the man broke Luo Dagen's leg, he left the town before dawn.

Dan Niang and that person are both people in the green forest. Even if there is no road guide, they can still find a way to go to other towns. They can't even figure out their true identities. It is even more difficult to catch them.

However, the yamen still managed to get the portraits of the two of them, and posted them on Yuanbao Town and the villages and towns under its jurisdiction, so that the people could see that they should stay away from them and go directly to the yamen to report to the officials.

The county magistrate also sent someone to inform the Luo family, telling them that although the identity of the thief was found, there was no trace, and they did not know when they would be brought to justice, so the Luo family could only wait.

...

In the past few days, Pei Weixuan bought wood and built a wooden pavilion next to the grape trellis in the patio. There were no tables, chairs and benches in it, so he made a rattan chair and placed it inside. He could lie on the rattan chair on weekdays. rest.

After finishing the wooden pavilion, grape seedlings are also planted under the courtyard wall on the back of the house, and a circle of grape trellis is built.

Seeing that he has done almost all the work at home, Pei Weixuan will be leaving tomorrow.

Yesterday, he had contacted Huo Ye and asked Huo Ye to find some powerful black armored guards to stay in Yuanbao Town to protect Pei's family and Yu Niang. If someone went to the restaurant to make trouble, he could help. Although Yu Niang didn't need it, Yu Niang knew Xu Kongmu knew the county magistrate, and no one dared to blackmail Xu Ji and Yu Niang openly, but someone was protecting Yu Niang and Xu Ji secretly, and he was relieved.

Huo Ye immediately passed the letter to a few black armored guards who he thought were the most powerful in martial arts, and asked them to guard the Pei family with Yuanbao.

Huo Jiang was there at the time and expressed his willingness to stay in Yuanbao Town to protect the Pei family and the princess.

Huo Ye glanced at him, Huo Jiang was a little embarrassed, he was indeed a little selfish, staying in Yuanbao Town to protect His Royal Highness's family could continue to eat the food made by the princess.

But he will definitely not be lazy and will take good care of the princess and the Pei family.

However, Huo Ye still agreed to let Huo Jiang stay.

Huo Jiang was brought up by him, and he is also very satisfied with martial arts. He is talented and has a strict mouth.

Huo Jiang grinned when he heard that Huo Ye was willing to let him stay in Yuanbao Town.

Datou and Chen He definitely couldn't stay here. They were originally water bandits on the other side of the wharf, and some people would know each other. It was not convenient to stay in Yuanbao Town. When they returned to the island, Pei Weixuan brought the black armor guards to take them there. Just get rid of Liuli.

The fourth brother is going to leave early tomorrow morning. Xu Qinyu closed the evening meal for half an hour ahead of schedule, and returned to Laixi Lane with the food to prepare the family to gather for the evening meal.

When the fourth brother came home, she and the fourth brother ate morning and evening meals together on the second day when she took a bath. After that, every morning and evening meal was eaten in restaurants.

Wen Shi also returned first with Xu Qinyu.

When the two of them got home, the hot water had already been boiled. Ning Jie'er told them to go back to the house to wash up first, and they brought the food to the table.

Now all meals are served in the main room, which is large and spacious and can accommodate people.

Wen's and Xu Qinyu were sticky and sticky, so they both went back to the house to wash up, and Xu Qinyu also washed their black hair.

It's hot now, and it's easy to get stuffy and sweaty on your head, so not only does she have to wash her hair every day, but she also washes her hair once a day.

After washing up, Xu Qinyu only wiped her wet hair with a cloth towel, and it was half dry. Her hair was a little thick and black. There is no hairdryer here, and she could only wipe it half dry with a cloth towel without dripping water. After the evening meal, would blow hair in the wooden pavilion in the past, and then could sleep after drying hair.

Before her hair was dry, Xu Qinyu wore a simple silk coat and went to the main room to have dinner with everyone.

She had bought some silk and satin to make pajamas for her family.

She wears silk clothes to work when she goes out, so it's just right to use them as pajamas.

So she also made two suits for herself, both of which are ordinary long shirts and trousers, with straps tied around the waist and one side, just like the dress.

This silk clothing is really comfortable to sleep in, and almost everyone in the family sleeps in silk clothing.

The two silk clothes were made last fall. In the past two years, even at the border, she ate and drank well and started to grow. The waist of the silk clothes made last year was still suitable, but the position of the chest was a little bit. It's tight, but the shirt and trousers are longer, so I'm wearing it just right now.

I also made two suits for the fourth brother. These days, the fourth brother sleeps in silk clothes.

Going to the main room, Pei Weixuan glanced at Yu Niang, who was wearing a very large towel on her shoulders to prevent her hair from getting the clothes on her back wet.

She was dressed in a crescent-colored silk dress with a few simple lotus flowers embroidered on it. She was just about to bloom, with a slender waist and bulging breasts. Her black hair was scattered behind her. Her small face was white and tender, with a little flaw. None, just washed, with a natural blush on the cheeks, like a hibiscus.

After just one glance, Pei Weixuan lowered his eyes.

Wen said with a smile, "Yu Niang, sit down and eat."

There was still an empty seat next to the fourth brother, so Xu Qinyu went to sit down.

Everyone eats evening food together.

Wen also asked Pei Weixuan what time to leave tomorrow, and if he could use the court food before leaving.

The Pei family usually follow the rule of not talking when they have nothing to eat, and they can say whatever they want at the dinner table.

Pei Weixuan said: "There is no rush to leave after using the court food."

At noon tomorrow, go to the bamboo forest outside the town to meet Huo Ye and the others, and go back to the island first.

The mother was worried about the son traveling thousands of miles, so Wen Shi naturally told her son not to be brave and brave when going out, and take good care of his body when he is out of the house.

Pei Weixuan also agreed.

After Wen's finished speaking, Pei Weixuan didn't have to worry about his family, she would take good care of them.

Pei Weixuan listened, occasionally responding, and most of the time he helped Xu Qinyu pick up vegetables.

Seeing this, Wen's heart moved slightly, and said: "In a few years, Sister Ning will grow up too, and it's time to talk about kissing, Brother Xuan, if you usually know someone reliable in the caravan or other places?" You can help me to pay attention." She had already given up the idea of ​​returning to the capital, and now the whole family is just ordinary people, and she is not looking for a high-ranking family, but only looking for someone who really likes Ning. Sister, be nice to Sister Ning, there is nothing bad about the family or relatives.

Sister Ning said coquettishly: "Mother, I don't want to get married, I want to stay with you and sister-in-law for a few more years."

Although Sister Ning is already fourteen, she really has no intention of getting married. She just wants to make her career bigger now.

Now more and more people are looking for her to order packages. She wants to rent a small shop, set up a small workshop, and invite some female celebrities and women who are good at embroidery to do the work.

Mrs. Lu had seen the bags she made before, and said they were very beautiful and delicate.

Most of the bags that Sister Ning makes now are only suitable for girls in their teens who are not married. Mrs. Lu likes this kind of bags, but they are not suitable for people of her age. The bags carried by women should be calm and graceful.

Sister Ning really had to draw it, and made it out of silk and satin and fine silk, which is both soft and elegant.

Mrs. Lu really liked it when she saw it, and bought the bag for twenty taels of silver.

So Sister Ning had some other ideas at that moment. She wanted to set up a workshop, specializing in making bags for people of all ages. The cost and price could be raised appropriately, and some leftovers of pearls, gems and jade could also be used for decoration. , The price of the bag can also be raised, it doesn't have to be sold in Yuanbao Town, you can talk to Mrs. Lu, when the time comes, these bags will be transported by Madam Lu's caravan to other cities for sale.

But she hasn't told anyone about these thoughts, and is planning to ask her sister-in-law in the next few days.

Xu Qinyu also thought that Ning's bag was very beautiful.

The bags made by Sister Ning are not in a modern style. They are all made of various silks, satins, silk yarns, furs, combined with embroidery and hand-sewn. They match well with the clothes and jewelry worn in this era on weekdays, and because of such unique bags , making the whole person more colorful, so Ning's business is also very good.

Sister Ning said she wanted to spend a few years with her sister-in-law.

Mrs. Wen glanced at her son, and said to Sister Ning: "Your sister Yuniang is seventeen this year, and she will be nineteen in two years. You all know how she entered our house. Brother doesn't have a marriage contract, and the Marquis of Dechang didn't want Xu Qinhui to suffer, so they pushed Yuniang to replace her."

Speaking of this, Wen's paused, "So it's good to talk about some things today, Yuniang came to our house, not only as a benefactor, but for Yuniang, we don't know how our lives are going now, but we must try All the hardships." She knew very well in her heart that if Yuniang hadn't used her cooking skills to support them since she came to the border, or else their family would have lost their backbone, and Brother Xuan would still be there at that time. If you are poisoned, even if you have dozens of taels of silver on you, it will be a matter of time before you sit and eat.

From the beginning, it all relied on Yuniang, and even now it depends on Yuniang.

Therefore, in Wen's eyes, Yuniang is not only regarded as a daughter, but also a benefactor of their family.

Pei Weixuan had already anticipated what his mother would say next, like an ice sculpture, without moving.

Wen continued, "Yu Niang is not the wife of Brother Xuan. She didn't even exchange Geng posts or worshipped the world at the beginning, so she is not considered a husband and wife. In the eyes of all of us, Yu Niang is more like a family member, so I am Thinking, Yu Niang is also seventeen, and when it comes to the age to talk about marriage, since she didn't exchange geng posts or worship the heaven and earth, Yu Niang is a girl's family. You can also find a good husband for Yu Niang, Yu Niang is old, she still wants to get married."

Ning Jie'er hesitated, in her heart, although the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law kept shouting, Yuniang was more like a sister than a sister-in-law, and she did not think about making Yuniang and her fourth brother a biological child.

Because even she could see that Yu Niang and the fourth brother seemed to be more like relatives.

After all, the fourth brother treats them almost the same on weekdays, with a cold and indifferent appearance, and he can't talk to anyone.

Pei Weixuan lowered his eyes.

When Xu Qinyu heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand, "Mother, stop talking, I don't plan to get married, at least not now, I don't plan to talk about marriage before I'm twenty, I'll talk about it after I'm twenty. Well, mother, don't rush me to get married."

In her eyes, the fourth brother is more like a family member. She really never thought about being a husband and wife with the fourth brother for two reasons.

She is already twenty-eight, and when she met her fourth brother, she was only nineteen. How could she fall in love with a young man who was nine years younger.

Her thoughts and emotions are mature enough, and in her heart, she knows what she wants, and what she wants is a career.

In her heart, career is greater than love, and her desire for love is not high.

Secondly, this body is only ten years old and still a child.

Leaving it behind in the future, getting married and having children in your teens, isn't that ruining your own body?

If the body is not well developed, it will take the risk of having children.

So even if she wants to become a biological child in the future, she will only consider this after she has already thought about it and has someone she likes.

But to be honest, even in her previous life, she was twenty-eight and had never been in love.

She started to do food and business in junior high school. In high school, her classmates were busy with studying and studying, but she was still busy with food and business.

After college, people started to be busy with dating. She had already opened a private restaurant, and she was so busy that she had no time to fall in love, or to pursue a career.

Later, her career finally stabilized, and there were no suitable candidates or channels for her to know people around her.

Because she hadn't met anyone she liked, a mother from an orphanage or a teacher from a former high school or university introduced her to a blind date.

Either didn't feel it, or it was too weird. When came up to ask her about the annual profit of the private restaurant, lightly wanted her to pay for the marriage house and the car. also wanted to get the whole family to live in the house. felt that she was not short of money. , should be generous. What's even weirder is that she even wanted to own the shares of her private restaurant after marriage, so she never met the right person.

Although there are also good behaviors, but she does not feel very much.

Later, her Xuji restaurant chain became more and more, and she went to participate in the world-class chef competition.

In short, when she died, she hadn't even talked about a normal relationship.

He suddenly came to this feudal society again, and he was faced with diners and Pei's family all day long.

Although the fourth brother is good-looking and good-looking, there is no one who does not like the appearance of the fourth brother in modern times. Even if this body is four years younger than the fourth brother, in her heart, the fourth brother is nine years younger than her. She didn't dare to stare at the fourth brother all the time, for fear of falling in love and feeling weird.

Now that Mr. Wen talks about her marriage, she plans to talk about it too.

Before the age of twenty, she would not have any ideas.

After the age of 20, when you can meet the right person, you will make other plans.

Hearing that Yu Niang didn't plan anything until she was twenty, Wen Shi was relieved and couldn't help but glance at her son who looked like an ice sculpture.

There are still three years left, hope Brother Xuan will live up to his expectations, and don't just keep his head down and not speak.

Pei Weixuan's eyelids moved, and the ice sculpture-like body was slightly looser, and Xu Qinyu held the snail meat of chopsticks.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you can eat too."

After speaking, he also gave Pei Weixuan a pair of chopsticks.

After eating the evening meal, Pei Weixuan washed the tableware and chopsticks, and when he came out, he saw Yu Niang leaning on the rattan chair under the wooden pavilion.

The breeze was slowly, she was closing her eyes, her jet-black hair was scattered on the rattan chair, and she was wearing a crescent-colored silk robe. In the dim twilight, she seemed to be born under the moonlight, a spirit that could confuse people.

Pei Weixuan didn't know what he liked, but he knew in his heart that Yu Niang was different in his heart.

He is good to the Pei family, because they are family, so he will protect them.

But Yu Niang is different.

From the very beginning, still on the road to exile, a few days after Yu Niang fell ill, he already knew that Yu Niang was not the real Yu Niang, and the inner core was changed.

At that time, he guessed that someone had taken away Yu Niang's body.

Later, found out that Yu Niang likes to cook and eat, she has no other thoughts, she treats people sincerely, and treats Pei's family very well.

In getting along, or in this kind of observation of Yu Niang, he found that the place where Yu Niang was originally was not like this era.

There should be no male and female defense in Yuniang, and the identities of males and females should be equal. They can eat and wear warmly, and there is no war. It is a very peaceful place.

I also know that Yu Niang came here involuntarily.

Gradually, he realized that he treated Yu Niang differently from his family.

He doesn't pay too much attention to his family, and his thoughts are calm, but he often cares about Yu Niang's every move.

When he went out to sea later, he dreamed of Yuniang day and night, and he knew that Yuniang was not a relative in his heart, and he had other feelings for Yuniang.

He has no feelings, he can't say what feelings are, and he can't even describe in detail how he feels to Yu Niang.

But just now, when his mother said to let Yu Niang go to talk about marriage, there was a trace of blood in his throat, thinking that if someone really dared to marry Yu Niang, he would cut off that person's neck.

Hearing that Yu Niang said that she would not make other plans before twenty, the numb feeling that she wanted to destroy something gradually dissipated.

Pei Weixuan stood at the kitchen door and looked at the slender girl on the rattan chair. The fingers hanging on the side of his thighs moved like spasms. He went back to the room to get the silver hairpin he bought a few days ago, as well as a large and thick practical gauze. cloth towel made.

After taking the hairpin and entering the wooden pavilion, Xu Qinyu had not yet fallen asleep when she heard footsteps, opened her eyes and saw Momo's tall and slender figure.

It was twilight and the sky was very dark. She couldn't see the face of the fourth brother, but she could see the figure of the fourth brother.

She half sat up and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, go to sleep first, I'll go to sleep after drying my hair later."

Pei Weixuan said: "I can't sleep either. First, help Yu Niang to dry her hair. You are like this, when will it be dry."

Xu Qinyu thought about it for a while, too, nodded and said, "Then I will trouble the fourth brother."

He moved a bamboo chair over, sat beside her, and wiped her wet hair with a thick towel.

He started wiping from the scalp first, with gentle movements, Xu Qinyu pressed his scalp with a cloth towel, and wanted to sleep comfortably, so he could only talk to divert his attention, "Fourth brother, do you want to eat something tomorrow? I'll do it. I'll bring you something to eat on the way."

Pei Weixuan paused for a moment and said, "No need."

She was very tired from working in the restaurant all day. The snacks she brought for him, he couldn't eat a few on the way, were all shared by Huo Ye and the others.

"No." Xu Qinyu said: "I still have to make some snacks for the fourth brother."

There are a lot of dried snail meat in the restaurant. She will soak some more tomorrow. After soaking, it can be made into spicy jerky snail meat. It is delicious and chewy, which can satisfy your cravings.

She will take out the extra snail meat on weekdays, clean it, dry it, and dry it into dried snail meat, so that it can be stored for a long time, and the snail meat will be eaten in winter.

When Yu Niang's hair was almost dry, Pei Weixuan used only the silver hairpin in his hand to help Yu Niang pull her hair into a bun.

The hair on the top of the head is loose and loose, and the bun is also loose and loose, and only a silver hairpin is used to fix it.

Xu Qinyu touched the hairpin and asked with a smile, "Fourth brother, did you buy me a hairpin again?"

"Well, it's inconvenient to take that piece of colored glaze out. You can use this silver hairpin on weekdays."

"Thank you fourth brother."

Xu Qinyu was not polite to the fourth brother. She took off the hairpin and glanced at it. It was a very delicate silver hairpin, and it was also a very everyday style. She could wear it on weekdays.

She flicked the silver hairpin, and the loose bun fell and fell behind her, and a few strands of blue silk fell on her face.

Pei Weixuan just glanced at him and got up, "It's getting late, Yu Niang should go back to her room and rest earlier."
