In Xiaonanhe Village, Jinghai, Tianjin, just after dawn, Su Zhiniang packed the prepared tofu in a wooden bucket as usual, and then loaded it on a wheelbarrow, ready to go to the town.

Today is the day to go to the market, so she packed two more barrels of tofu than usual, hoping to sell more when there are more people.

Not long after, the aunt of the Wang family next door also got up. Seeing that Su Zhiniang was moving the barrel, she couldn't help but sighed secretly, and came forward to help.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang!" Su Zhiniang wiped the sweat from her forehead, thanking her in a crisp voice.

Su Zhiniang is 17 years old this year, and her figure has just grown. Although she is wearing coarse linen and no powder on her face, it is difficult to conceal her beautiful appearance.

Her body shape has begun to take shape, exquisite and elegant, with a slender neck, snow-skinned and beautiful appearance, and she is graceful and graceful. People who pass by will unconsciously light up their eyes and take a look at her more.

"Zhi Niang, is there no news about the little scholar?" Aunt Wang asked with concern, frowning.

Su Zhiniang's expression darkened when she heard the words, and her hand wiping sweat stopped at some point, she lowered her head and said softly, "Since he broke the letter a month ago, there has been no news since then."

Aunt Wang looked left and right with her eyes, and then said in a voice that Su Zhiniang could hear alone: ​​"Zhiniang, I heard that the imperial court was defeated in the Northeast, and I don't know how many soldiers died. No news, maybe that's it, "

Aunt Wang hadn't finished speaking, but she had expressed her meaning clearly.

Su Zhiniang's delicate body trembled slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Impossible, Zijie must be fine and will come back."

"Zhiniang, it's not my aunt's arrangement. Auntie is doing it for your own good. The scholar suddenly broke the letter, and the court didn't give an explanation. You said that you are not young. If there is something wrong with the scholar, you alone How long can the girl's house last, Auntie thinks you should make plans early."

Aunt Wang persuasively said.

Su Zhiniang bit her lips lightly, and said resolutely: "Auntie, I know you are good, but although I am not married to Zijie, I am already a member of the Wei family. Even if something happens to Zijie, I will not be in this life Will remarry, so please don't mention this matter again in the future."

Aunt Wang curled her lips indifferently and said: "I said you child, are you really stupid or stubborn, if you are such a beautiful little lady, if you don't have a man to rely on, you will easily cause trouble."

Su Zhiniang just kept her head down and worked on her own, without saying a word.

Aunt Wang continued: "Does Master Huo at the west end of the village know? Although Master Huo is skilled in martial arts, he has never bullied the weak, and he is a clerk in the Huaiqing pharmacy in the north of Tianjin. He is promising. Master Huo asked me to ask for your opinion." , He said he was willing to carry you home in eight palanquins."

"Auntie, stop talking. Zhiniang grew up in Wei's family since she was a child. She was born as a member of the Wei family and died as a ghost of the Wei family." Su Zhiniang interrupted Aunt Wang's words and resolutely refused.

Aunt Wang shook her head and sighed, and said, "Why can't you figure it out, kid? If it's for repaying kindness, you kid doesn't know how many things you have done for the Wei family. If it weren't for you, the little scholar might have died sooner or later." You just died of starvation, and you will wait until you join the army. People in this village say that the Wei family has raised you, and that is his Wei family's blessing."

After a pause, Aunt Wang continued: "You have paid so much for the Wei family, even if Xiao Xiucai came back now, he would not have the face to ask you to marry him, not to mention he might have died on the battlefield long ago."

Su Zhiniang's face flushed red, and while pushing the wheelbarrow away, she said, "Auntie, stop talking, Zhiniang will not marry anyone."

"Zijie, you will be fine. Zhiniang burns incense to Goddess of Mercy every day, and prays for her to bless you to return safely." Su Zhiniang said softly in her heart, but she couldn't help but secretly worried about Wei Jichen, why did he last for more than a month? No news at all?

By the time Su Zhiniang arrived in the town with her wheelbarrow, the sky was already bright, the stalls were set up, and the day's life began again.

"Thank you, guest officer!" Su Zhiniang bowed down to express her gratitude to the guests who had just left. Today's business is really good. In a short while, several large bowls of tofu were sold. When I save enough money, I will buy more Bring some paper, Zijie will definitely need it when he comes back.

Su Zhiniang thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, isn't this our famous tofu Xi Shi in Jinghai! As a brother, I will give you a chance, call me brother, and brother will buy you a bowl of tofu." Three handsome, topless men walked over with smiles , one of them squinted a pair of small eyes and said.

The few people who originally wanted to come to buy tofu saw these three people and walked away quietly. These people are all notorious little bums in the neighborhood, and no one wants to cause trouble.

Some people around were pointing at these people not far away.

The three of them really enjoyed the gazes around them, instead of being annoyed, they clasped their fists at the surroundings with a smile on their faces.

Su Zhiniang seemed not to hear, silently rinsing the bowls in the bucket.

"Hey, little girl, didn't you hear what my brother said? My brother is here to take care of your business, give me a smile." The small-eyed man looked at Su Zhiniang bewitchingly, wishing he could eat Su Zhiniang into his stomach Go, continue to make teasing words.

"Please respect yourselves, the servants only scold tofu and don't laugh." Su Zhiniang replied blankly, but she felt annoyed in her heart.

"Yo, yo, you are still a slave, the little girl is still a baby at first glance, and she calls herself a slave before opening the bag? Your sour gentleman can leave you, and go to the popular and spicy ones." Her eyes touched her chin, and she stared at Su Zhiniang's buttocks without blinking.

Su Zhiniang stared back at her small eyes angrily, and said angrily: "This official, if you don't buy tofu, please go away and don't hinder my family's business."

Su Zhiniang seemed angry but not angry, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, but in her small eyes, she was extremely beautiful.

He couldn't help but say with a greedy face: "Buy tofu, of course I buy tofu, as long as it is the tofu of Xiaoniangpi, I will buy it, tsk tsk, what a pity these little hands, white and tender, have to do such rough work, Xiaoniangpi, how about Became the master's concubine, and kept you eating and drinking spicy food every day, so you don't have to suffer in the wind and rain here, and suffer."

Su Zhiniang was so angry that tears rolled in her eyes, she picked up a large bowl from the bucket with a bang, and threw it at the feet of the little eyes with a bang.

"Ouch! The little lady hit someone, it really hurt my brother to death." Xiaoyan jumped up and down, screaming, and winking at the other two younger brothers.

Su Zhiniang's bowl didn't hit his foot at all, but there were not many people around who could see clearly, and when they heard the cry of the little eyes, they really thought they hit him.

"Losing money! Losing money, hurting our elder brother, we can't just forget about it." The two younger brothers gathered around and yelled in unison.

"My fellow villagers, you have all seen that it was not I, Wang Mazi, who caused the trouble, it was this little girl who made the first move, and it hurt me so much." Small-eyed Wang Mazi said loudly to the surroundings.

It's really invincible to be the cheapest.

"You, scoundrel!" Su Zhiniang was so angry that she couldn't speak, her breasts trembled, and Wang Mazi's mouth was drooling.

"Little lady, if you are not willing to pay the money, we'll go to see the officials and see what the magistrate has to say." Wang Mazi glared at Su Zhiniang fiercely with his eyes, and then said calmly.

Su Zhiniang is a commoner, and what she is most afraid of on weekdays is meeting officials. Officials are all cannibalistic characters, and they can scrape off three layers of skin if they are reasonable.

Hearing what Wang Mazi said, she couldn't help but panic, and said with a pretty face, "If you lose money, you will lose money!"

Then he gritted his teeth and took out a piece of silver from his pocket, throwing it on the ground.

"You're sending the beggar, my master's feet are precious!" Wang Mazi rolled his big eyes, and continued to blackmail.

Hmph, little girl, today you will not be able to escape my Wuzhishan, Wang Mazi.

When I get your hands on you and go to bed, this body, um, I really want it, Wang Mazi indulges in lewdness, and lewdness flashes in his eyes from time to time.

Although the crowd of onlookers talked a lot and showed their unbearable hearts, no one dared to step forward and speak up.

"Miss Su, what's the matter?" A handsome, tall and thick man broke through the crowd at this moment, and walked in with great strides.

"Hero Huo is here!"

"Wang Mazi can't afford to go around now, let's see if he dares to do something in the future."

"Wang Mazi works in a foreigner's church, and even the government gave him three points. I'm afraid the hero Huo can't do anything to him."

"Fuck, Er Maozi! You only bully women and children."

"Speak softly, don't let Wang Mazi hate you."

The people around were discussing and whispering.

Huo Yuanjia took a closer look and understood what was going on. He couldn't help but lower his face, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at Wang Mazi and said: "Wang, to save face, you have to forgive others."

"Who are you, let me save face."

Although Wang Mazi said so, he picked up the broken silver on the ground, gave Huo Yuanjia a hard look, and left with two of his subordinates cursing.

Huo Yuanjia likes to be a chivalrous hero, and he is well-known in Tianjin, even Wang Mazi had to give up three points.

Oh shit!Unlucky, I think it's unlucky to meet you, but I don't believe that you will stay here forever, I will get this little lady one day.

A farce was easily turned into invisible by Huo Yuanjia. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the spectators dispersed.

Su Zhiniang moved lightly with her lotus steps, took a step forward, saluted generously, and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Huo for your help, otherwise Zhiniang really doesn't know what to do."

Huo Yuanjia lost the free and easy manner just now, his face was reddish, and he stammered and said: "No, it's nothing, everyone is from the same village, and it is right to help each other."

Su Zhiniang cleaned up the debris on the ground, brought a bowl of tofu, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Huo, Zhiniang doesn't have anything else, this bowl of tofu is just a thank you gift."

It's really a sweet smile, Baihua is ashamed.

"You're welcome!" Huo Yuanjia took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, paused, and then said with some embarrassment: "By the way, Miss Su, did Aunt Wang say anything to you today?"

Huo Yuanjia looked at Su Zhiniang nervously and expectantly.

"I'm sorry Brother Huo, Zhiniang has already made up her mind, except for Zijie, she will never consider marriage in this life." Su Zhiniang looked at Huo Yuanjia without blinking, and said solemnly.

"That's it, it's Huo Menglang." Huo Yuanjia's tone was slightly disappointed, but he calmed down after a while, and then said: "Nowadays there is a lot of chaos outside, it's not a problem for you to show your face as a girl, it's better for Huo in the drugstore If I ask for a job for you, there will be a support."

"Brother Huo's heart is appreciated by Zhiniang. Zhiniang will know this skill, and she can't do other things. Besides, if Zijie knows that I go to work in a drugstore, he won't like it." Su Zhiniang categorically refused.

"Xiucai, alas! I heard that he hasn't written for many days, and Huo has something to do with it. I will help Miss Su find out about the scholar." Huo Yuanjia said in a depressed mood.

"Then I would like to thank Brother Huo. Whether it is good or bad, please tell Zhiniang the truth." Su Zhiniang shook her hand slightly, but her tone became calm in the end.

"That's it, Huo is leaving." Huo Yuanjia disappeared into the crowd of people on the street step by step.
