The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 37 A beauty is like a meal on a plate (1)
The sound of horseshoes went away, Ah Ju came out of the wing room, saw his mother walking back with a smile, and wondered: "Mother, what did he do just now?" the voice.

Liu said helplessly: "Young Master Zhao wants to take Xiao Jiu to hunt in the mountains."

Ah Ju was startled, "Mom, did you agree?"

Mrs. Liu nodded, and said to the cabbage bed in the yard: "He came to ask specifically, can I agree? Don't worry, Ah Ju, Mr. Zhao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he often went hunting in the mountains. He hasn't had any accidents for so many years." He also said just now that he will take Xiao Jiu for a walk outside, there will be no danger." Last time when she went to Zhao's house, Ning said a lot about Zhao Chen, so she was relieved.

Ah Ju was not worried at all, she still remembered Zhao Chen's words of threatening her with his younger brother that day, last time she declined Mrs. Zhao's marriage proposal, who knows if Zhao Chen was unhappy because of this, and planned to use his younger brother to force her?

Deliberately complaining that her mother shouldn't trust the other party so much, she opened her mouth, but Ah Ju couldn't speak again.Zhao Chen has always been courteous in front of his parents, and he had saved his younger brother before, so his parents had no reason not to believe in his savior.

Ah Ju went back to the house annoyed, fidgeting.

No, he shouldn't dare to bully his younger brother. Xiao Jiu is really bullied, and he will definitely not want to learn martial arts from him in the future, and the relationship between the two families will become completely frozen. This doesn't seem like something he can do.Was it to scare her on purpose?To warn her in this way, to remind her to agree quickly?

Various thoughts flashed through Ah Ju's mind, but Zhao Chen had earned a good reputation first, unless something really happened to her younger brother, she couldn't think of a reason to stop him.

Well-dressed and dignified, how could Mrs. Zhao have such a son!
His eyes fell on the emerald green orchid, thinking of Ning's soft voice, Ah Ju felt very complicated.

Lunch was ready, but Lin Chongjiu hadn't come back yet.

Ah Ju was very worried, and kept looking out when she went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

Mrs. Liu suddenly realized, "Look at me, I forgot to tell you, Mr. Zhao said that they eat in the mountains at noon and return in the afternoon."

Aju finally couldn't help complaining to her mother: "Mother, just spoil Xiaojiu like this. How old is he now? He dared to play in the deep mountains. When he grows up in the future, he will be disobedient. At that time, you won't care. no!"

Liu Shi choked, thinking about it carefully, there was really such a possibility, and said: "Okay, I'll tell him later, he won't be allowed to go next time."

Ah Ju finally felt a little relieved.

In the afternoon, Niang San was talking in the house, and suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes on the street, Lin Zhu's eyes lit up: "Xiao Jiu is back!" and ran out while talking.

Liu Shi also adjusted her clothes and went out, while Ah Ju sat still and listened nervously to the movement outside.

At the gate of Lin's house, Zhao Chen got off his horse first, and then went to hug Lin Chongjiu. When he was released to the ground, he saw Liu's mother and daughter approaching, Zhao Chen turned around, and said to Liu: "Auntie, we came back late, did you worry? "

Mrs. Liu had already looked at the two of them, one big and one small dressed neatly and they didn't seem to be in trouble, she finally let go of her heart, and replied with a smile: "Why are you worried, I can't rest assured that Xiao Jiu will leave it to you to take care of me , it’s just Chengyuan, Xiao Jiu is still young, I’m afraid he’s playing with his heart, and he dares to go to the mountains secretly without you to play in the future, why don’t you take him there next time?”

Before Zhao Chen could speak, Lin Chongjiu became unhappy, and raised the pheasant in his hand in front of her: "Look, mother, I got it! Leave me alone, I've already agreed with Brother Zhao, and we will have more in the future." Go hunting with him, mother, don't worry, I will be obedient and never go up the mountain by myself!"

The pheasant looked like it weighed three to four catties, and Lin Zhu couldn't believe that his younger brother had caught it. "You don't even look at how many catties you have for bragging. You can't even catch our chicken, but you can still catch a pheasant?"

Lin Chongjiu blushed with anger, looked at Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen touched his head, and explained with a smile: "Xiao Jiu is short of strength, I helped him draw the bow, and he aimed at the head, so this is indeed Xiao Jiu's bow." Auntie, Xiao Jiu is well-behaved and sensible, so please leave him alone, or are you still worried about leaving Xiao Jiu to me?"

"No, it's just Xiaojiu..." Mrs. Liu stuttered, unable to think of what to say, and finally glared at her son and said, "Okay, I'll let you go, but if you dare to go to the mountains secretly to play in the future, see if I don't like it." break your leg!"

Lin Chongjiu quickly promised that he would be honest.

Zhao Chen untied another fat pheasant from the horse and handed it to Mrs. Liu: "Auntie, this is my tribute to you."

I already have one at home, so why would Mrs. Liu have the nerve to ask for it again: "No, no, hurry up and bring it back to your mother for more food!"

Zhao Chen insisted on telling her: "Thank you aunt for caring about my mother. I still have one. It's getting late, so I'll be leaving first. Aunt remembers to say hello to uncle for me."

"Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea before you leave?" Mrs. Liu warmly invited him to sit in for a while.

Zhao Chen declined, glanced casually at the West Wing, and got on the horse with Chen Ping.

The young man galloped away, full of vigor, Liu liked it more and more.If the other party really has that kind of thought, it would be good for the daughter to marry.

After the two of them had completely disappeared, Mrs. Liu walked in with Lin Zhu and her brother carrying two chickens.

The pheasants are alive and kicking, and Mrs. Liu is going to stew the smaller ones tonight, raise the bigger ones for a while, and eat them next month during the autumn harvest.

She was busy outside, and Lin Chongjiu excitedly told Lin Zhu what he had seen and heard in the mountains.Ah Ju waited in the house for a long time, but her younger brother and sister never came in, so she had to go out to find someone. Seeing the two sitting under the eaves, talking while watching Liu's killing chickens, she walked over pretending to be curious, and listened together.In fact, you don’t need to listen, just looking at his younger brother’s rosy and excited face, you can tell that he is enjoying himself in the mountains, and he doesn’t look like he’s being bullied at all.

Ah Ju suddenly felt like being teased.

She was restless for the whole day for her younger brother, while he took her younger brother on a tour of the mountains to have fun. If he said that he didn't have the slightest intention, she wouldn't believe it.

Hearing that her younger brother would go again next time, Ah Ju secretly lured him with money, and as long as Lin Chongjiu agreed not to go again, she would give him a penny.

Lin Chongjiu was not interested in silver, let alone a penny, even a tael, he would choose to hunt.The younger brother was not moved by the money, so Ah Ju had no choice but to hug Lin Chongjiu, coaxing worriedly: "Xiaojiu, you are on the mountain, and the elder sister is so worried that you can't eat well, so why don't you go? Elder sister is afraid Something happened to you." She helped her mother coax her younger brothers and sisters for so many years, and she thought she understood their weaknesses.

Her soft voice is the eldest sister's concern for her younger brother.Lin Chongjiu felt warm in his heart, turned around, and comforted him like a little adult: "Don't worry, big sister, big brother Zhao is very powerful, he will take good care of me, and I will obey him obediently and never run around. "

Ah Ju really wanted to give him a chestnut!
When Lin Xian came back in the evening, he learned from the eldest daughter that Lin Chongjiu had gone to the mountains for a day. She didn't reprimand Lin Chongjiu, but told him to be obedient.

In his opinion, sons are different from daughters. Daughters are well-educated and educated and raised at home. It is better for sons to see more of the world. It is a rare chance to meet such a noble person as Mr. Zhao.As for the eldest daughter's worries, Lin Xian was confident that he could manage his son well, the brat really dared to mess around, so he tied him to a tree and beat him to see if he would learn a lesson.

With his father's support, Lin Chongjiu happily continued hunting with Zhao Chen into the mountains.

Before you know it, July is almost over.

Every month at the end of the month, the Liu family would go to the town to buy things to supplement their household, and this time was no exception.Lin Zhu hadn't gone out for a long time, so he pestered her to go with her.Mrs. Liu thought that since Mrs. Zhao came to the house, maybe it was because of the precious orchids that the eldest daughter smiled more and more. Lin Chongjiu should be careful in the mountains and come back early.

The brothers and sisters agreed separately.

After sending them off, Ah Ju cleaned the yard at home, and Lin Chongjiu went to the river.

Zhao Chen pulled him onto the horse, and casually asked: "Auntie went to town again?" He knew many things about the Lin family from Lin Chongjiu.

Lin Chongjiu nodded: "My second sister has also gone."

Zhao Chen looked towards the village, the corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc, and he turned to Chen Ping and said, "Suddenly remembered that I wrote a letter this morning and forgot to explain it. You go back and deliver the letter, and wait for us at the foot of the mountain."

Chen Ping understood and quickly turned the horse's head.

At the end of July, the weather is not so hot anymore, and the sun in the morning is warm and warm on the body.

Aju played with Yoyo for a while, then took out the sewing basket and sat under the eaves to sew socks for her younger brother.Yoyo was walking back and forth in the fence, calling at her twice after a while, but Ah Ju cruelly pretended not to hear.Without the help of her younger sister, she would not dare to let Yoyo out, she would not be able to run away from it, nor would she be able to catch it.

Looking up at Yoyo's kung fu, the tip of the needle accidentally pricked her finger, Ah Ju took a breath and hurriedly put her finger in her mouth.Sucking and thinking of his younger brother, he showed worry.

After sewing a pair of socks, the sun had already reached the treetops. Ah Ju picked up the sewing basket and was about to enter the house when a carriage stopped in front of her house.

Ah Ju was surprised.

My aunt knew that my mother would be there today, so she usually went shopping with her, so it was impossible for her to come.Others who can afford a carriage...

Zhao Chen took his younger brother to hunt in the mountains, could it be Mrs. Zhao?

Ah Ju hurriedly put the sewing basket on the window sill, and walked quickly towards the door, "Here it is, who is it?"

The people outside heard her footsteps and asked with a smile: "Is this Master Lin's house? My old lady was once favored by Master and ordered me to come and visit."

It was the voice of a middle-aged woman.Ah Ju paused, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had never heard his father mention it.However, my father taught in the town, came back and forth, and helped many people. It is impossible to mention everything to them when he comes back.

Ah Ju opened the door, and saw a woman in a brown shirt standing outside, with fair complexion, slightly fat, and a very kind smile.

Ah Ju asked politely, "Who are you?"

The woman explained the origin with a smile, saying that the old lady at home was knocked down by someone and Lin Xian helped her up, and today the old lady sent her over to give gifts.

Ah Ju hastily declined: "The old lady is too polite, my father can do it with little effort, it really doesn't cost much."

The woman insisted on giving it, and put the box in Aju's hand, but Aju refused, so she had to accept it, but just as she was about to thank her, her eyes went dark, followed by her mouth was covered by a veil, and her body was also shaken. He was pushed to the side of the door wall and pressed tightly against it.Ah Ju was startled, she suddenly became vicious when she saw the woman, her narrow eyes knew something was wrong, she struggled hard, but the woman was too strong, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, the last thing she saw before she passed out was the spinning top of her head blue sky.

The woman looked back at the coachman, saw the coachman nodding, quickly picked up Ah Ju, stuffed it easily into the carriage, and then took the gate of the Lin family from the outside, and then got into the carriage.The curtain fell, and the coachman left immediately with his whip.

On the way out of the village, I met some villagers.

There are horse-drawn carriages coming and going every day, and the villagers are not surprised. They just look at it curiously. No one would have guessed that the eldest daughter of the Lin family was sleeping in it.

Zhao Chen and Lin Chongjiu had good luck today, not long after entering the mountain, Zhao Chen had already hunted two gray rabbits.

When Lin Chongjiu picked up the third rabbit, Zhao Chen said: "Xiaojiu, let's go down the mountain early today, so as not to be late for auntie to worry about."
