Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 46
As a small episode, although Wang Huaiqi was a little disappointed, but after meeting by chance, the momentary excitement in her heart passed away.

The three masters and servants strolled casually again, buying some fancy things, seeing that the night was getting dark, the cool wind was blowing, and it was a bit freezing, so they decided to go home.

When there was still an alley away from home, there were some disturbances on the side of the road.

Because it is close to the residential area and far away from the Lantern Market, there are much fewer people selling goods and visiting here than before. The surroundings are open, and it is easier for everyone to notice any movement.

"This old man, it's definitely not that someone wants to eat for free. In fact, when he was shopping in the Lantern Market just now, there were too many people, and the purse he was carrying with him fell out at some point. You let go first, and I won't run away."

The voice was familiar.

Immediately afterwards, an old man said angrily: "You look like a gentleman, how can you do such a deceitful thing? A total of thirty coppers."

The old man was a little agitated. He came late and didn't get a good place to set up a stall. He had no choice but to huddle by the side of a remote alley. Seeing that other stalls were overcrowded, he dozed off.

The harvest tonight is related to the household for the next ten days, so he is very anxious.

So when this plainly dressed young man sat down and ordered not only shredded pork noodles, but also lamb tendon and lamb cheek meat, he was very excited.If this order is completed, at least it can earn seven or eight copper coins.

Therefore, the old man greeted him very hospitablely, and even gave him small dishes. How could he have imagined that this young man looked like a dog, ate slowly for a while, and when he was finally about to check out and leave, he told him that he lost his purse and wanted to pay on credit first, tomorrow. Pay again.

The old man's expression changed instantly.Pooh!His old man is not a young boy just out of society, he has never seen anything like this.

tomorrow?Who will set up a stall in this ghost place tomorrow, and who will know who you are?Take my meager income to bet on your character?I'm not that bad, old man!

"My lord, it's been a long time to pay for meals, don't you want to eat for free?" The old man rolled his eyes: "If you don't have money to pay today, you can stay and wait for your family to come to you!" The oily hand tightly grabbed the young man's arm.

"This, this, what is this?" The young man had never seen such a battle before, his handsome face turned red, and he desperately wanted to get rid of the old man.

What Wang Huaiqi saw was the scene where the old man was entwining the young man like an octopus.

She chuckled, this young man still had the calmness when he rescued her just now, he hurriedly called Lamei over, and gave the old man thirty money to rescue the young man from the clutches of evil.

He came over with a face of embarrassment and thanked: "It's really wrong for the little lady to see such an ugly appearance. Dare to ask where the little lady's family belongs, and tomorrow I will return double the food advances by the little lady!"

He bowed halfway, his face blushing slightly, Wang Huaiqi didn't know why, but when he peeked at the sharp half face, his heart suddenly moved for no reason.

She almost threw down the sentence "My house is at the king's house at the end of this alley." Then she fled in despair.

On the second day, the man really returned the food.

After Wang Huaiqi received these sixty copper coins, she felt a little more empty in her heart.

It seemed that as soon as the money arrived, the bond between them was broken.But they met twice in one night, it was also fate given to them by God.

For several days, she couldn't get up to do anything, and her mind was full of that half of her face.

But she knew that she couldn't deal with many things on her own, and marriage was the first one.She didn't even know the other person's name, or where his hometown was, but she only knew that the other person would not be very rich, and her conversation seemed to have read a book.

The green robe he wore that night was the favorite style of students nowadays, and her fourth brother also liked to wear it the most, but the material was not a bit worse than the fourth brother's.And he travels alone, without servants.

After staying at home for several days, the ripples in Wang Huaiqi's heart dissipated again, and she returned to peace.

I finished reading the book at hand, and I didn't ask someone to help me buy it this time. Anyway, I ran out of peach blossom paper, so I simply went out of the house and went to the bookstore to pick it out.

It was also this trip that convinced Wang Huaiqi that she was destined to be with that young man.

They met again.

Wang Huaiqi came to buy books, and he came to sell books.What he sells are books he copied himself, the entry-level thousand-character prose.A copy of his manuscript could sell for two hundred copper coins.

She watched him take the money from the clerk in an unassuming manner, bought some paper, and was about to leave, she suddenly laughed.

The other party also saw her at this time, and that smile from the heart made him a little crazy for a while.

What happened next seemed to be logical. She knew that his name was Hu You, and he was originally from a farming and studying family. Because of his father's illness, his family fell into poverty. When he was in his teens, his parents died, and he was alone. He has no choice.

Really a reality version of a down-and-out wit and a rich daughter!Wang Huaiqi firmly believed that he would be her lover in the future, so she promised him without reservation.

Originally, they covered up this underground love very well. Every time they went out of the house, they had a legitimate reason, and they came back at a normal time, which did not arouse the suspicion of the family. The only two people around who knew about it were Lamei and Qiuju.

She is full of longing.

She is not very old, and she is the youngest daughter in the family. I believe the family will not hire her out immediately, and she can wait.

Wait until next year, when her lover is a Jinshi, and then come to propose marriage!A Jinshi son-in-law, how could the family disagree?

Until the end of April, the other party kept frowning. After repeated questioning, she found out that although he can participate in Chunwei next year, the chance of winning is very small.He failed to get a famous teacher, and he had to worry about making a living. His strategies and theories were still very unfamiliar, and he needed time to study.

After Wang Huaiqi knew about it, she was a little restless. She could hold it off for half a year and a year, but how could she afford to wait for the spring that happened every three years?

There are unmarried women, but those who are not engaged are definitely not tolerated by the family.

What should she do?

She returned home in a daze, and what she got was the news that her family was going to propose marriage to her.

If she wanted to marry someone else, she would not die.

So the next time they met again, she hugged him tightly and cried for a moment, and the other party suddenly said: "You follow me! It only takes three years, and once the three years pass, I will be named on the gold list, and I will make you beautiful Go back to your natal family, at that time, they can't deny you!"

Isn't this just letting her elope?It is also a girl's family who has received orthodox education for many years. How can Wang Huaiqi agree?

Seeing her hesitation, Hu You was a little sad: "Qiqi, don't you believe me? Do you not believe that I can pass the exam and be a wife?"

"No." Wang Huaiqi hastily denied that the love between them had nothing to do with their status, it was the purest.

"Then you come with me, just think that you might marry someone else, I don't want to live anymore. Kiki, don't leave me!"

Don't leave, never leave for a lifetime.Wang Huaiqi got excited and agreed.
