Chapter 436
Sun Qiang stopped the bullock cart and smiled apologetically at the two of them: "I'm sorry, that's my buddy's house. Something happened to his house, I have to go and have a look."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hands: "It's okay, we're not in a hurry."
Not long after, Sun Qiang came back, his expression was obviously not very good.
Shen Mingjiao asked politely, "Did something happen?"
The ox cart set off again, and Sun Qiang sat in the front peng and sighed: "Chunsheng's wife left the child behind and disappeared?"
Generally, those who start the scene with this kind of words seem to be not a good thing, Shen Mingjiao tentatively asked: "Why do good people disappear?"
Sun Qiang has been doing business all the year round, and he has also practiced his ability to observe words and emotions. Hearing her tone, he knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's not what madam thinks, Chunsheng's daughter-in-law... er... no She ran away with someone, she...is not mentally sound. "
The road was boring, and Shen Mingjiao was also willing to listen to some gossip, so she followed Sun Qiang's words and asked: "Then won't his husband go find him?"
Sun Qiang sighed again, and immediately opened up the conversation: "Chunsheng is also the most pitiful person in this village. On his fifth birthday, because he likes to eat red bayberries, Second Uncle Xu, who is also Chunsheng's father, went up to the mountain to pick them himself. When going down the mountain, he slipped on a dead branch and fell down the hillside and hit a rock, and died on the spot.
This was just a coincidence, but that naughty woman privately said that Uncle Xu was killed by Chunsheng.But Xu's family is a common surname in the village, and Uncle Xu is Li Zheng, so these rumors will be let go after a while.
But later, when Chunsheng was 13 years old, Second Aunt Xu accompanied Chunsheng to the city to take an examination for a scholar. On the way, Second Aunt Xu was hit by a passing carriage. I was also there at the time. Second Aunt Xu patted the dirt on her body and stood up. , Said he was fine.
The owner of the carriage was quite conscientious, and insisted on sending Aunt Xu to the hospital. The doctor also said that there was nothing wrong, so Chunsheng went into the examination room with peace of mind.
But when he left the examination room, Second Aunt Xu died inexplicably, because the person disappeared in the inn, and the inn was afraid of getting a bad name, so they hurriedly reported to the official, and he died of a ruptured spleen after undergoing a test. "
Shen Mingjiao continued: "This is normal. The less pain you feel at the time of some severe impact injuries, the more serious it is. It is likely that the internal organs were injured."
It was not the first time she had heard of such a thing, but according to the level of the doctors here, it might be difficult to diagnose it.
Sun Qiang was stunned: "It's like this..." He clenched his fists angrily: "If I had known... forget it, no one would believe me.
As soon as this incident happened, it was rumored in the whole village that Chunsheng beat his father and mother. Later, a wandering Taoist priest passed by and said that Chunsheng was destined to be the fate of Xingke's six relatives, and he hoped to stay away from him as soon as possible.
People in our place believe in these the most. After the Taoist priest left, the Xu family demanded that Chunsheng be separated from the clan, but the elders of the Xu family were embarrassed. The entire Xu family will be stabbed in the back.
This matter has been stalemate for a year or two, and the uncle of the Xu family brought back a crazy little girl, saying that she was looking for a wife for Chunsheng. "
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath: "We have an unwritten rule here that children and grandchildren can only separate when they get married. Poor Chunsheng, who is a good son, wants to marry a..." It seemed that he should not say that, and he was born He stopped talking.
Shen Mingjiao just listened to it as if it were a story, and she didn't care too much to agree: "The Xu family has made a good plan. In this way, not to mention saving money for Chunsheng to marry a wife, it can also drive the person away in a legitimate way, and occupy another place." What main house property."
Sun Qiang nodded: "Madam is right. It stands to reason that Chunsheng, as the only son of the second wife, should inherit all of Uncle Xu's property, but in the end he only got a broken thatched hut at the end of the village and three acres of dry land."
Shen Mingjiao also only sighed a few words, the so-called family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures, there are too many similar injustices in this world.
"Then what's the reason this time, Chunsheng's daughter-in-law is leaving?"
Sun Qiang explained: "It is said that Chunsheng went hunting in the mountains a few days ago, and has not come back yet. Chunsheng's daughter-in-law was probably worried and entrusted the child to the neighbors to take care of her, so she went into the mountain alone. gone."
Shen Mingjiao was surprised: "Isn't he a scholar, how can he still hunt?"
Sun Qiang explained: "It's not hunting. We have many mountains here. Most young and middle-aged people will make some simple traps and go up the mountain once in a while. Because the mountain roads are difficult to walk or encounter poisonous insects and miasma, sometimes it takes ten and a half months. to come back."
Chatting along the way, it was almost noon, and finally arrived at the county seat.
Fortunately, although this county is not as prosperous as some big counties, it is much better than Shen Mingjiao imagined, at least there are all the inns and restaurants that should be available.
Feng Lisheng didn't speak the whole time, he carefully observed what he saw along the way, and noticed something strange.
Compared with the poor and backward Xujia Village.This county seems to be too prosperous.
When Sun Qiang came to the county this time, besides sending Feng and Li Sheng off, he also had some business matters to deal with, so he temporarily parted ways with them.
Feng Lisheng had already asked in advance, it's not unreasonable to say that Huitong Bank has opened in every state capital in Daxia, even Qingyun County and other small remote counties have one, and it's in the best location on the East Street of the county.
The two of them had already made a plan. After Feng Lisheng's injury was completely healed, they would ride back to Wenshan City on horseback. At that time, they could ask Sun Qiang to lead the way.
With Feng Lisheng's remnant jade, the matter of entering Huitong Bank to deliver letters went very smoothly.
Shen Mingjiao happily left with the newly withdrawn money, and Feng Lisheng could see her bright smiling side face as soon as he lowered his head, unconsciously, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"...Why are you so happy?"
Shen Mingjiao held her bulging purse: "Because I have this money, I don't need to sell jewelry anymore!"
She had already planned to sell all the jewelry she could sell when she arrived in the county.Until Feng Lisheng took several banknotes and a large bag of broken silver from the steward.
She patted her forehead and realized, yes, as long as there is this piece of remnant jade and Feng Lisheng's face, they can directly withdraw the money!
Seeing her appearance as a money fanatic.Feng Lisheng unconsciously curled his lower lip: "Don't worry, I won't let you sell jewelry no matter what."
Shen Mingjiao covered her ears uncomfortably, raised her head and raised her eyebrows to look at him: "Yo, isn't it good? You've learned how to talk to me so quickly, you've improved a lot compared to before!"
Feng Lisheng subconsciously turned his head and didn't dare to look at those beautiful eyes that always made him uneasy, and said with a cold face: "Since the matter is over, let's go!"
Shen Mingjiao deliberately lagged behind him by a few steps, staring at his pretendingly cold side face, and slowly smiled: "Ah! Husband, why are your ears red? Could it be that you are shy?"
Feng Lisheng almost staggered, subconsciously raised his hand to touch his ear, but then he reacted, stopped the back of his hand suddenly, and emphasized in a cold voice: "No."
Shen Mingjiao continued to pester him with a smile, "If you don't have it, then you don't. Why are you so excited?"
