The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 212
The young woman in front of her is called Li Xianglan, and she is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Mao. Because his son married late, there is still only one boy and one girl.

Xu Anan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Li Xianglan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Xu Anan's smile. This was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen in her entire life.

Xu Anan went to the kitchen to boil medicine for Cheng Huaiye. Li Xianglan put the bowl away and went to find her mother-in-law.

"Mom, when will Brother Yuanxiu come back?"

Mrs. Mao was mending Uncle Mao's clothes with thread in her hand. She narrowed her eyes when she heard this: "Xiu'er has been to Huajincheng for three days, right? He should be back tomorrow."

Li Xianglan was relieved. Huajincheng was half an hour's drive away, and this time Mao Yuanxiu went to the city to repair a house for a wealthy family and asked him to move a tile. He would be back in about three or four days.

After Mrs. Mao finished speaking, she continued to ask: "Is Linger giving birth?"

Li Xianglan smiled and said, "It's okay. My sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy last night."

Mrs. Mao put down the needle and said, "Let me go to her husband's house and give her some eggs to replenish her health."

"You and Xiu'er should hurry up, he's almost thirty."

Li Xianglan forced a smile: "We will hurry up."

Giving birth to a child is not her responsibility alone, and it bothers her to talk about it. She and Mao Yuanxiu's health are also fine. It has been three years, but they are still not pregnant.

I also prayed to the Guanyin Empress, took medicine, and tried various prescriptions, but no pregnancy was seen.

She sighed slightly and decided to go early tomorrow to pay homage to the Guanyin Goddess of Mercy.

When she went out, she happened to bump into Xu Anan who was coming out with medicine. She turned sideways, watched her enter the door, and then followed her out.

Xu Anan put the medicine on the table and waited until it was almost cold before going to wake Cheng Huai up and let him drink the medicine.

Xu Anan looked at the medicine and thought deeply: "I think I have to go to the city to buy some better medicine for internal injuries."

Cheng Huai also drank the medicine and became more energetic: "Nothing, I won't be able to stay here for long. Once I can move, I will find a way to contact Mu Chen and the others." His eyes were slightly cold: "I am afraid that the government has been controlled by Cheng Si now. He's under control, if I show up rashly, I'm afraid it's his people who will come."

He was silent.He continued: "After we return, we will put the marriage on the agenda."

Xu Anan was stunned: "Are you serious?"

He frowned slightly: "Who is joking with you?"

Xu Anan: "..."

He was a bit hasty. Seeing that he looked weak, Xu Anan hid what he wanted to say. Forget it, let's talk about Meng Jiayi back to the palace.

Xu Anan had a headache. I was afraid that once this happened, the entire palace would explode.

Cheng Huai also looked at her side face and knew what she was thinking about, but Meng Jiayi's mood had nothing to do with him, and he was too lazy to care about Meng Jiayi's feelings. As compensation, he could give some support to her brother, the Meng family Greedy and cowardly, he really looked down upon her.

Both fell silent.

"Squeak."

The door opened, and a five-year-old girl with a double bun stuck her head out. The girl was beautiful, with clear eyes, and her eyes were very dark, like black grapes.She said crisply: "Sister, you are so beautiful."

Before Xu Anan could say anything, Mrs. Mao hurriedly took her away: "Zhou Yan'er, don't disturb the distinguished guests. Go and play." After saying that, she apologized to Xu Anan: "Ms. Xu, I really can't. Sorry, the child is ignorant, I will take her away right now."

Xu Anan didn't think it was a big deal. She was new to Guyuan Village, and this was also the territory of the Mao family. It was normal for a few children to come and play.

She stood up and walked to the window, just in time to see Mao's yard and the gravel village road with few people walking outside.

She frowned slightly: "I always feel that this village is weird, but I can't see what the problem is."

"Leave in a few days." Cheng Huai also pursed his lips: "Cheng Si is very smart, he should find me before I recover from my injury."

The day passed quickly, and Xu Anan did not show his face outside Guyuan Village. However, some villagers knew that a foreigner lived in Uncle Mao's house.

next day
Xu Anan woke up first, and there was already a knock on the door. Li Xianglan's voice came: "Ms. Xu, breakfast is ready, come and eat."

Xu Anan got up, washed up, and found that the table was full of white-faced steamed buns. The little girl from yesterday was also there. She looked at Xu Anan with bright eyes, and moved to bring a stool over: "Sister, let's eat."

Mrs. Mao looked at her with a smile: "Yan'er is so good." Then she said to Xu An'an: "This is my granddaughter, because her mother just gave birth to a son, and I'm afraid that the Zhou family won't take care of her, so Pick her up and stay here for a few days."

In ancient times, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was very serious, but the little girl could tell that she was well taken care of by her mother.

Xu Anan sat at the table and ate, while the other people stood to one side in a restrained manner. The little girl was salivating at the sight. Xu Anan was really not used to being surrounded by people, so she said, "You all come sit down and eat together." ,lively."

Only after Xu Anan's repeated urging did the Mao family agree to sit down.

There is no rule among country people that they should be silent when eating and sleeping. Zhou Yaner was very lively. She chewed thick flour cakes and asked the old lady Mao innocently: "Grandma, the neighbor's little girl is dead. What does it mean to be dead?" ? I haven’t seen Xiaoya for many days.”

Mrs. Mao glanced at Xu Anan and then whispered: "Children, don't talk nonsense, Xiaoya just... just went somewhere else."

Zhou Yaner continued to tilt her head: "What about Qianqian? Did she also go to play with Xiaoya?"

Mrs. Mao responded vaguely: "Let's go together. You should be obedient, or your mother will send you there too!"

When the little girl heard this, she was immediately frightened and burst into tears: "Grandma, I am obedient, don't send me away."

When Li Xianglan saw this, she immediately took Zhou Yaner with a basket to worship at the Guanyin Temple.

As soon as Zhou Yaner heard that it was fun, she left with Li Xianglan.

Xu Anan was silent for a moment before asking: "Are the two girls your granddaughter mentioned dead?"

Old Mrs. Mao looked a little embarrassed, and then nodded: "He is dead, inexplicably, the body was found in the pit. Hey, these two children are so miserable, they are only five years old."

"A few people died in the front, and they were all girls, so the villagers said that the mountain god was angry. No one in the village dared to bury the girl's body, so they just threw it into the mountains to feed the wolves."

Xu Anan raised his eyebrows slightly: "How many have died?"

Mrs. Mao and Uncle Mao looked at each other, and then felt a little embarrassed: "Dear guest, no one in the village is allowed to talk about these things. It is not honorable for the village to have such a thing happen, because several little girls died very badly. It was tragic that the body was cut into pieces; secondly, the villagers did not find the murderer and did not dare to report the crime for fear of retaliation."
