Chapter 680 Blocking the Road
Luo Wu had no intention of talking to Miss Yang. He shook his head and refused: "Thank you very much for Miss Yang's kindness. Luo has to go home for the holidays and cannot go to Yang's house."
After hearing this, Miss Yang was very disappointed, but she quickly laughed again, took out a pot of wine and a lotus leaf roast chicken from the basket and handed them to Luo Wu: "Luo Bantou, take it back for the festival and let your family have a taste of the county town." Eat inside.
Luo Wu shook his head: "No need, Miss Yang, take it back and add food to Team Leader Yang and the others."
Yang Bantou's family did not live a prosperous life in the county town. These foods must have been meat and vegetables for the Yang family to celebrate the winter solstice. It was very bad for him to take them. What should he say if he took them back?
Miss Yang was rejected by Luo Wu twice, but she was not frustrated. Instead, she took out a pair of red silk flowers from her purse and handed them to Luo Wu: "I haven't seen Hui Niang for a long time. I made this pair of silk flowers myself. Luo Bantou Can you take it back to Hui Niang for me?"
Miss Yang had met Luo Huiniang and also met Gu Jinxiu. Three years ago during the Qiao Qiao Festival, Mrs. Jiang invited Sister Gu Jinxiu to go to the Jiang Mansion to beg for clever things, and Miss Yang was at the Jiang family. At that time, a group of girls competed, but Gu Jinxiu took the prize.
Luo Wu saw the pair of silk flowers and thought of Gu Jinxiu... Sister Xiu also made silk flowers for Hui Niang to wear, and the silk flowers made by Sister Xiu were much prettier than this pair of silk flowers. They were like real flowers and so fresh. People are reluctant to touch it.
Luo Wu was worrying about Qingsi, and his eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at Silk Flowers.
Ms. Yang was shocked and quickly asked Luo Wu: "What's wrong with Mr. Luo Pantou? But what kind of trouble has he encountered?"
She really didn't expect that Roban, the first big man, would have red eyes. This was too inconsistent.
"It's nothing. I didn't sleep well last night and my eyes are bloodshot." Luo Wu didn't want others to know what he was thinking. Mrs. Xia said that the reputation of the girl's family is the most important. If others know that he likes Sister Xiu, Sister Xiu will definitely be disliked by the old ladies of the wealthy family. He cannot harm Sister Xiu.
No need, Miss Yang, keep it and wear it. Hui Niang has many silk flowers... made by the girl from the Gu family next door.
Ms. Yang was rejected three times in a row. She felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Girl from the Gu family? She is the embroidery sister, I know her. Her embroidery work is indeed good, and her embroidery skills are comparable to those of an embroidery master."
She looked at Luo Wu and smiled: "Compared with her embroidery work, the most attractive thing about Sister Xiu is her appearance. My family lives in the county town, and I have relatives in Fucheng. I also went to Fucheng with my family. See There are many girls who have passed by, but none of them look like Sister Xiu."
He sighed again: "I don't know who such an outstanding girl will marry. I don't think she will marry in the countryside. This will wrong her. She will definitely marry to the city and become the wife of an official family."
Luo Wu's face froze when he heard that. Yes, Xiu Jie'er is such a good girl. Trapping her in the countryside is humiliating her. She should marry to the capital or the capital and become an official wife surrounded by many servants.
"Miss Yang, Luo is leaving first. Say goodbye." Luo Wu almost ran away, not daring to talk to Miss Yang again, for fear that she would talk about Sister Xiu again and let him know how unbearable he was, and let him know that he had How unworthy of Sister Xiu.
"Hey, Luo Pantou, walk slowly, ride more slowly, don't be in a hurry." Miss Yang saw Luo Wu's change in her eyes, and she knew that Luo Wu liked Gu Jinxiu.
In the past two years, Luo Wu made no secret of his love for Gu Jinxiu. Whenever Gu Jinxiu came to Jiang's house during the Qiao Qiao Festival, Luo Wu would be there. Every time he received his salary, he would go and buy things for Gu Jinxiu.
At that time, her father even laughed at Luo Wu and asked him when he would have the wedding banquet. He also told them at home that Luo Wu was really passionate about the eldest girl of the Gu family.
Ms. Yang heard that at that time and said that Sister Xiu had met her husband. However, after she broke off the engagement, women in the county made unpleasant remarks, which led to the delay in getting engaged.
She is already nineteen, and will be twenty after the Chinese New Year. She is a proper old girl. It is not easy to meet a good man, and Luo Wu will not give up. What she did was not considered robbing someone. After all, Luo Wu and Gu Jinxiu were not engaged. She was just showing her favor to Luo Wu at the right time and did not use any shady tricks.
"Danniang, what are you doing here, little girl? Have you bought the wine? You are waiting to drink wine to worship your ancestors." Seeing that Miss Yang had not returned home for a long time, Bantou Yang's wife took one of her servants out to look for her. , seeing her standing on the roadside looking ahead, he slapped her angrily, took her hand and turned to the alley next to her, and walked towards home: "Your father has to go to the Yamen tonight for work. Eat early.
Yang Danniang said: "Mom, don't worry, I also bought a roasted chicken with lotus leaves. When we get back, we will use the roasted chicken to worship our ancestors, and then stir-fry a few easy-to-cook side dishes to start the meal. It won't miss dad's work."
Mrs. Yang Bantou laughed after hearing this. Her daughter was doing things properly, but her marriage was not going well, which made her family worried.
Luo Wu rode out of the county town and ran towards Qingfu Town. However, he was stopped by a mule cart less than a quarter of an hour after leaving the county town.
"Brother Wu, what a coincidence that I can meet you here." Mr. Xia got off the mule cart wearing a big cloak and said to the driver: "How can you drive a mule cart into a pit? "
Look, he didn't come here specifically to stop Luowu. It was the family's driver who didn't know how to drive and drove the good mule cart into the pit. He couldn't leave.
Luo Wu's face turned pale instantly when he saw Mr. Xia. He was already afraid of Mr. Xia. This Mr. Xia looked amiable, but his words were the most destructive. He had been damaged by Mr. Xia to the point that he was afraid of him. He just nodded to Mr. Xia and wanted to ride away.
How could Mr. Kexia let him go?
Brother Wu, you are strong, come here and help lift the mule cart. Mr. Xia came over and stood in front of him. If Luo Wu didnt want to cause trouble, he had to dismount.
Luo Wu had no choice but to get off his horse and help, but he remained silent the whole time, not speaking no matter what Mr. Xia said.
After the mule cart was taken out, he wanted to leave, but Mr. Xia held him back: "Brother Wu, don't leave in a hurry. The wheel of this mule cart is broken and you can't move anymore. There is a set of bronze tripods in the carriage, which is too bulky." , you can help transport it to Zhuangzi with horses. My Zhuangzi is nearby, and you have been there too."
Luo Wu's face became worse and worse. He disliked Mr. Xia's Zhuangzi very much. That Zhuangzi was the sharp blade that shattered all his dreams.
He shook off Mr. Xia's hand: "Mr. Xia, Luo has to rush home to celebrate the winter solstice. He hasn't been home for a long time. If he doesn't go back this time, he will be scolded by his parents at home."
With Mr. Xia, Luo Wu subconsciously became polite when he spoke... He didn't want to be called by Mr. Xia again as a vulgar and reckless man who couldn't even speak elegant words.
Mr. Xia looked at Luo Wu and smiled: "Actually, I called you to Zhuangzi this time because I wanted to tell you about Sister Xiu's marriage. You may not know it in the county. Some time ago, a legitimate son of a Jiangnan family asked Sister Xiu. Please marry me."
Luo Wu froze after hearing this. The legitimate son of the Jiangnan family came to propose marriage to Sister Xiu. Is it true?
He was afraid that Xiu Jie'er would suffer a loss, so he quickly asked: "So, what is that man's character? Will he treat Xiu Jie'er well? Will his family look down on Xiu Jie'er?"
