The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 68 Retirement

Zhang Junzhi looked at the second brother who quickly disappeared at the corner of the street, raised his head and said to the eldest brother: "Second brother must have gone to see sister Liu."

"Just know it in your heart," Zhang Kezhi looked down at his younger brother, "Don't talk nonsense outside."

The defense of men and women is not an empty talk. Although the second brother and Miss Liu have a verbal marriage, they have not yet been courteous.

Zhang Chunzhi rode a horse and finally came to Shili Pavilion outside the east city.

On the second day of the New Year, the pipeline not far from Shiliting is filled with traffic, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour for one to pass.

Zhang Chunzhi looked around, and couldn't understand why Miss Liu chose this place for the meeting. According to him, this place was not as secret as a teahouse.

But it may be that the two of them can't talk in the lobby when they go to the teahouse, and if they go to the private room, if they are seen by acquaintances, it will greatly affect the reputation of the girl's family.

Putting the food box on the stone table, Zhang Chunzhi waited for a while and saw no one there, and walked around the pavilion again, only to see a green cloth carriage coming from the path outside the city.

The carriage stopped, and a woman in a pink and white veil got out of the carriage.

After looking at the people standing in the pavilion through the screen window, the woman stepped forward.

Zhang Chunzhi turned to the side and said, "Miss Liu, please."

Through the veil, Liu Huihao saw the young man's handsome appearance, with a polite and slightly uncomfortable expression, and silently said sorry in his heart.

She sat down on the stone pier, raised her hand and said, "Second Master Zhang, please sit down."

"I asked the cook at home to make this. I heard from my mother that when you visit my house, what kind of snacks do you like most?" Zhang Chunzhi opened the food box, took out the dishes inside, and put them one by one in front of the woman.

Liu Huihao laughed softly, and said in a calm voice: "It was all many years ago, I didn't expect my aunt to remember it."

"You asked me out today, what's the matter?" Seeing that she didn't intend to eat, Zhang Chunzhi put the food box on the ground, leaving only a few plates of snacks on the table.

Liu Huihao paused, lowered her head and said, "Second Master Zhang, the marriage between us is just a joke from our mother, and now my mother has passed away for five or six years——we really want to continue ?"

Zhang Chunzhi didn't understand her meaning for a while, and asked, "Miss Liu, you?"

Liu Huihao lowered her eyes, as if she was willing to fight and kill.

"Do you have any difficulties?" Zhang Chunzhi asked.

He really couldn't figure out what could make a girl say the words of refusing marriage. If she didn't like him as her future husband, wouldn't it be more convenient for her to ask her mother to tell her when she was still there?

Liu Huihao plucked up the courage to look at him, and said, "Second Master, please don't ask me any more questions. I don't have any difficulties. I just don't want to marry you like this like a joke."

Zhang Chunzhi didn't feel ashamed of being humiliated, he just asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes," Liu Huihao said, "I know I might feel sorry for you, but we are in a different situation. If you refuse this marriage, there will be less trouble."

Zhang Chunzhi nodded, "Okay. Is there anything else?"

Seeing that he agreed so simply, Liu Huihao felt a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Second Master, there are many women who are better than me in the world, and you will definitely marry a woman who is better than me in the future."

Zhang Chunzhi didn't speak, and was about to leave with the food box in his hand.

"Second Master, are you looking forward to our marriage?" Liu Huihao stood up and asked hastily.

Zhang Chunzhi was a little confused, he didn't know why the woman's mind was so complicated.

"Since the engagement is about to end, is it still interesting for you to ask this question again?" He asked.

Liu Huihao said: "I don't know either. I just feel that I'm sorry for you."

Zhang Chunzhi had expectations for this woman. His mother often told him before that Huihao must have had a hard time in Liu's house without his mother at such a young age, so let him treat her well in the future.

At this time, Liu Huihao asked him to go to Liu's house to explain their marriage. Zhang Chun didn't know how he felt for a while.

Fortunately, they were planning to celebrate on the Lantern Festival, and his mother didn't come from Fucheng, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to his mother.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." Putting down these words, Zhang Chunzhi got on his horse and left with the food box.

The little maid who had been standing outside the pavilion just now came up, held Liu Huihao's arm, looked at the several plates of snacks on the table, and asked, "Miss, what should I do?"

"Don't worry about it, let's go back." Liu Hui got up.

"Miss," the little maid hesitated to speak, Liu Hui said kindly, "If you don't think it's easy to say, then don't say it."

"But the servant girl is worried that the young lady made a wrong choice," the little servant girl was a little anxious, "Second Master Zhang, although we haven't met a few times, we heard that he is a very good person. With the young master Biao, we are even more intimate, but the servant girl always Worry about the future."

Young Master Biao's family is just a landlord in a small town, and there is no way to compare with Second Master Zhang's father, who is an official in Beijing. Moreover, Young Master Biao is far inferior to Second Master Zhang in terms of appearance alone.

The little maid felt that the young lady was completely coaxed by the old lady of her mother's family.

Liu Hui showed a bit of displeasure in her expression, she looked at the little maid and said: "If you say this again, don't follow me."

----

Zhang Kezhi knew that when his second brother went to Liu's house to explain that the marriage agreement that year was not counted, it was already the next afternoon. He asked several servants before he found Zhang Chunzhi who was reading a book in a study in the backyard.

"What's going on?" Zhang Kezhi asked as soon as he arrived at the door, "Do you have someone you like?"

Zhang Chunzhi put down the book in his hand and said, "No, I just think it's inappropriate. Brother, I just sent someone to deliver a letter to my mother. When you get back, you must go and talk with me."

"Are you afraid?" Zhang Kezhi walked in, "The other party is an orphan girl, do you know how much gossip you will bring to the other party if you give up this marriage?"

Zhang Chunzhi can't say that the other party doesn't want to marry. Now, others may talk about Miss Liu behind her back, but they will also sympathize with her. It's better than a girl saying that she doesn't want to marry.

Seeing that the second brother was silent, Zhang Kezhi said again: "In Fucheng, many people wanted to propose marriage to you, but your mother refused because you were married. Now which girl who is similar to you has not been settled? Do you still want to marry?" Daughter-in-law?"

"Why don't a man have a wife?" Zhang Chunzhi didn't care. "You don't see those peasants who only study in high school before marrying a high-school girl. I still worry about whether I can get a wife?"

Zhang Kezhi: - -

Because the marriage with the Liu family was over, the three brothers of the Zhang family stayed in the county for two days, and were going back to Fucheng on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

After packing up some specialties sent by the tribe, Zhang Kezhi asked his younger brother who was still at home: "Aren't you going to go to the Lin family to say goodbye to Miss Lin?"

"No," Zhang Junzhi held a wooden toy carriage given by Uncle Lin when he came back from the Lin's house in Yishui Village the day before yesterday. "Sister Yuan'er really lied last time. I plan to ignore her for half a month."

"Brother, when will we go to Yishui Village again?" Zhang Chunzhi said as he put a burden on the car, "My younger brother said how delicious the pig's trotters made by Uncle Lin are, so I still think about it."

Zhang Junzhi immediately said: "Big brother and second brother, let's go again during the Lantern Festival."

"Grandpa is coming back on the Lantern Festival, we all have to be in Fucheng," Zhang Kezhi thought for a while, and he really didn't have time to go back to Yi County in the past year, so he fooled his younger brother: "I will take you there when I am free. "

In the Great Xia Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival was a festival more important than the Spring Festival. Regardless of the size of the place, no matter whether the poor or the rich, all came out to fight with lanterns.

This can be regarded as Lin Chunnong's first Lantern Festival, the first two, she was still young, and the second was a little sick cat during the Lantern Festival last year. Blowing cold wind can make you sick.

At that time, it was very lively outside, but their family was guarding her in the small yard, and they just hung a few lights on the trees for her to see.

This year is different, before the sun sets in the middle of the afternoon, Lin Jiale prepares dinner, the family eats it, and then drives the carriage to Yuetan Town.

Yuetan Town invited a large dragon and lion dance team, which attracted villagers from more than a dozen nearby villages to watch. Before the sky darkened, there were already lit up lanterns everywhere.

In fact, Yishui Village also has a program. After all, during the Chinese New Year, the village head and the elders of the village went to each family to collect a lot of money.

However, the dragon and lion dance team invited in the small village is incomparable with the ones in the town. Not only the Lin family has a carriage, but also the family has a slow-moving ox cart. At this time, they also want to go to the town to see the big scene.

Those in the village, you can come back and see.

Chen Yaoguang was very helpless. Seeing the situation in the village, he directly got into the car and ran to the town, and asked the dragon and lion dance team they had invited to perform in the village until tomorrow night.

After nightfall, the streets of the entire town became a sea of ​​lanterns.

Lin Chunnong's left hand is held by Lin Qiumo, and his right hand is held by his elder brother. Although she doesn't hold any lanterns, she has a lot of lanterns.

The lotus lantern in her brother's hand, the moon lantern in Qiumo's hand, and the rabbit lantern, horse lantern, and piggy lantern in the hands of her parents behind her were all bought by her while looking at them along the way.

The family strolled around for a while, Lin Jiale pointed to the stall in front of him and said, "Go and have a bowl of rice wine first, and rest for a while."

As soon as Lin Chunnong sat down at the booth, he turned his head and saw that familiar face again, the one he saw just now when he was walking on stilts in front of him.

Lin Chunxing followed his younger sister's gaze, and that person immediately turned his head away from the family.

"Father, someone is watching us." Lin Chunxing said in a low voice.

Lin Jiale calmly brought cups for his family, because he knew that Lin Qiumo had a disgusting enemy, and the whole family was very vigilant at this time.

Lin Qiumo said: "He may be a kidnapper. Since he followed us just now, he has always wanted to get close to my daughter."

Lin Jiale took a look at Lin Qiumo, this kid was very alert.

"As long as he doesn't get close, we don't care." Lin Jiale said.

Because the family watched closely, the man followed for a while and then left.
