Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 92

The sky is getting brighter, and the small village is as quiet as usual.

It was rare for the two rooms of the Xu family who lived in the northeast corner to sleep late.

"Sister, are your arms sore?" Amu got into her sister's bed and asked, leaning on her shoulder.

Ningxiang raised her arm and tried it, and said with a smile: "It's sore, I can hardly lift it up, can Amu help sister feed the chicken today?"

Amu nodded obediently, looking at her sister with bright eyes, "Well, my arms are not sore."

He played with Anan under the tree. Brother Lu knew that he was lazy and didn't work, so he still secretly gave him twenty copper coins.

Thinking of the twenty copper coins he earned, Amu was very happy.

The little guy gave the money to his sister when he got home, so Ningxiang knew about it, but Lu Cheng liked her brother, so she wouldn't insist on refusing.

The siblings played under the covers for a while, and when they heard movement from the East Courtyard, they both got up. When putting on clothes, Ning Xiang only felt sore in her waist and legs, recalling that she rarely did any physical work during the years in the Hou Mansion. Can't help but smile wryly, the food is delicious, it's really squeamish, you have to get used to it quickly.

After opening the door, Ningxiang glanced at Westinghouse, and went to fetch water to wash her face.

After she and Amu finished washing, Guan Ping came out, scooped up water silently, and went to the North Courtyard.

"Are you sore?"

Amu went to play in the backyard, and Ningxiang followed Guan Ping to the West Room, sat on the kang to watch Guan Ping comb his hair, and said a little embarrassedly: "The house in the country is dilapidated, you have been wronged for taking this job, and you are still tired now." We do farm work. Next time there is such a thing, you can just find an excuse to reject it, and my aunt won't say anything."

Ningxiang figured it out, she had to try her best to build a good relationship with Guan Ping, and with friendship, Guan Ping would help her a little when she called Pei Jinghan back, although Guan Ping was cold and cold, there was little hope for this.Fortunately, Ning Xiang didn't dislike Guan Ping in the first place, and she didn't feel much against her in being nice to her.

Guan Ping was silent, listening to the little girl's soft voice with no expression on her face. After combing her hair, she walked to Ningxiang's side, looked at the kitchen room, and said in a low voice: "The prince sent someone to deliver a message last night. Wait for you."

The smile on Ningxiang's face froze little by little.

Before picking the fruit, she hoped that Pei Jinghan would come back soon and die sooner, so that he could live and die happily, so she didn't have to worry about it day and night.Yesterday I went to pick fruit and saw Lu Cheng earning his first salary after leaving the mansion. He woke up in the morning feeling sore and full of joy. He was so happy that he forgot that Pei Jinghan was going to return, but Guan Ping told her that Pei Jinghan would arrive at noon. .

It's like when the king of Hades doesn't come when you are about to die, but when you are happy not wanting to die, the king of Hades suddenly comes to urge you to die.

Ning Xiang stared blankly at the new clothes she sewed for her on Guan Ping, and after a long while, her eyes regained their brilliance.

She smiled, stood on the ground and said, "Okay, after dinner, Amu fell asleep, and I'll go with you."

After talking, I went to the backyard to find my brother.

Guan Ping continued to stand facing the window, and slowly looked around the shabby farm house, not feeling a little relieved that he was about to make a job.

After some time, it's time for breakfast.

Ningxiang called her outside, Guan Ping came back to his senses, walked out of the house, and saw Ningxiang standing in the yard holding her younger brother, both siblings had smiles on their faces, the soft morning light shone on them, the elder sister was beautiful, The younger brother is lively and cute, he is obviously very good-looking, but seeing her makes her feel uncomfortable, and she only finds it extremely glaring.

Lowering his eyes, Guan Ping silently followed the siblings to the east courtyard.

Ningxiang behaved the same as usual, eating whatever she wanted, chatting and laughing with her family.Guan Ping watched from the side, the more he looked at it, the harder it was to swallow.She knew how much Ningxiang was afraid of Pei Jinghan. A peasant girl who avoided the rich and powerful was suddenly not afraid.

She knew very well whether Ningxiang was the former or the latter.

For a breakfast, Ning Xiang ate deliciously, Guan Ping reluctantly ate a bowl of porridge, and refused to eat more.

She didn't want to see Ning Xiang's peace before her death anymore, so she went back to the west courtyard alone, lying on the kang and dozed off.

Now that things have happened, she is also looking forward to the arrival of noon, and there will be an early result.

Suddenly footsteps came from the kitchen, it was a man's.

Guan Ping immediately sat up and stared at the door curtain.

"Miss Guan, are you inside?" Xu Huai stopped in front of the door and asked a little stammeringly.

"What's the matter?" Guan Ping was so upset that no one wanted to pay attention to him at this juncture.

Hearing the displeasure in her words, Xu Huai lowered his head and looked at the fruit in his hand. He had hidden the fruit all night, and Lu Yan's handsome demeanor appeared in front of his eyes.Xu Huai felt inferior, because he was not as rich as the Lu family, nor could he be as good-looking as Lu Yan, but he liked her, even if she would reject him, he was a big man, at least he had to tell her clearly.

"Miss Guan, I, I have another fruit here, I want to give you to eat."

Slowly raising his head, Xu Huai said in a trembling voice, began to tremble, and then calmed down, staring firmly at the door curtain, as if looking at death, "Miss Guan, I like you, I don't know what I like you, and I know myself I'm not good enough for you, but I swear, as long as you are willing to marry me, I will treat you well all my life. You don't need to do any work in the field, and I earn money to support you. Girl, I don't ask you to promise me right away, just Please give me a chance to treat you well, if you are willing, eat this fruit, if not, then I, I will not pester you anymore."

Saying that, he stretched his right hand through the gap in the curtain on one side.

The man's palm was thick and wide, covered with a layer of calluses, but there was a red sand fruit on the palm, although it was small, it was all red, carved like ruby.Guan Ping was dumbfounded. She picked so many fruit trees yesterday, but she didn't see any redder fruit than this one. Did Xu Huai also know that this fruit was special, so he secretly hid it and gave it to her?

A farmer, isn't it just these worthless things that can be given away?
Guan Ping sneered.

She lived in Xu's house for more than ten days, and Xu Huai was the most annoying. She stared at him and threatened him, but he still refused to give up.

"Take it away, remember what you said, and next time, I will cripple your arm."

The girl is cold, and the words are even colder.

Xu Huai trembled uncontrollably, his hands trembled, and the fruit fell.

The moment the fruit left the man's big hand, Guan Ping's heart trembled, and his hands clenched into fists, so he didn't rush to catch it.

She didn't pick it up, Xu Huai couldn't see it, the fruit fell to the ground with a thud, and Gu Lulu rolled towards Guan Ping's shoes.

"I'm sorry, I, I, I'm leaving."

The man outside the door left quickly and went to the backyard. Before the fruit stabilized, he had already ran out of the kitchen.

Guan Ping's breathing became heavier, he looked down at the fruit, raised his foot, then lifted it up, and put it down again.

With a long breath, Guan Ping bent down to pick up the fruit, wiped the dust on it, and walked outside. Standing at the south door of the kitchen, he called out to the boy who was sitting under the persimmon tree practicing handwriting, "Amu, I still have a fruit here, here it is for you."

"Sister Guan is so kind!" Amu was overjoyed and ran towards her.

Time is like this, I hope it will hurry up, it is very slow, and the days are like years.Looking forward to it slowing down, it wants to be fast, like an arrow like a shuttle.

After lunch, Ning Xiang stayed in the kitchen, insisting on helping to clean the dishes.

Mrs. Li stood in front of the west pot, bent down to scoop pig food into the slop bucket, turned her back to her niece, and scolded her, "You have to do it if you don't need it, and people will say that I am mean as an eldest aunt, and if I don't order my daughter, I will do it." Order my niece."

Ningxiang smiled, and tilted her head to look at the elder, "Whoever wants to say it, I know that my aunt loves me the most."

Mrs. Li chuckled, picked up the slop bucket and went to feed the pigs.

When she came back, Ning Xiang had already cleaned the dishes.

The two pigs ate too much and had to carry another bucket. This time Ning Xiang went out with Mrs. Li, stood in front of the pigsty and looked at the two sows inside, and asked curiously, "Can we breed in October?"

"That's not right, it will be matched in October, and piglets will be born in the first month of next year. After two months of feeding, we will put two in your pen, we will keep two for ourselves, and sell the rest. Your eldest brother should marry It’s time for a daughter-in-law, we’ll build two wing rooms on the east side after we’ve sold the pigs, and we’ll be able to talk about marriage when we have a house. Amu is still young, so don’t worry.”

Now it is getting more and more expensive to marry a daughter-in-law. If there is no new house in the family, the woman will look down on you.

Ning Xiang looked at the empty east wall, looking forward to it, "I don't know what kind of girl Big Brother likes..."

The two mothers chatted here and there, until Mrs. Li was about to take a break after brushing the western pot, Ning Xiang suddenly hugged the elder, and whispered coquettishly, "Auntie is so kind, just like my mother, I like to listen to you the most." Speak."

The niece is so delicate, Li Shi laughed softly, patted Ningxiang on the back and said: "Auntie, Auntie, there is an alphabet in it, which is originally a mother. If you don't have a real mother, then you are also a mother. What can I do if I don't treat you well? Alright , You are still acting like a baby at such an adult, go and rest, you must be exhausted yesterday, your sister died early in bed!"

He deliberately stared at his daughter's room.

Xu Qiu'er complained vaguely from inside, "I haven't fallen asleep yet, mother, don't speak ill of me."

Ning Xiang burst out laughing, fearing that her elders would see her red eyes, so she walked away quickly.

Back in the west courtyard, Ning Xiang stood in the kitchen for a while before entering the east room.

On the kang, Amu was already asleep, so she arranged the pillows by herself, and even took out her sister's pillows, and placed them in line with his.

Ning Xiang couldn't bear it any longer, covered her mouth and began to cry.

She didn't want to see Pei Jinghan, she didn't want to leave this house.

But she can't go.

Pei Jinghan is a powerful person, and no one dared to stop him if he wanted her to rob her directly. He didn't rob her because of the love of his master and servant, and to give her another chance to be obedient.If she doesn't appreciate it, he will come to the door without showing any mercy.At that time, the eldest uncle and aunt will not be able to resist him, and no matter how tall and strong Lu Cheng is, he will not be able to stop him.

Who made them just ordinary people, who made them powerless?
Ning Xiang was crying, crying and crying when she heard Guan Ping's reminder in a low voice, she choked up and answered, walked to the cabinet, and took out the hairpin she had polished in advance.Staring at the long needle-like tail of the hairpin, Ningxiang smiled wryly, took off the hairpin and changed it.After changing the hairpin, she picked up the mahogany comb that Lu Cheng gave her, and put it close to her body.

Before leaving the house, Ning Xiang leaned over and kissed her younger brother's little face.

Kissing enough, watching enough, tears fell down again.

Ningxiang wiped it off in time, and took a last look at her younger brother. She raised her head, holding back the remaining tears, and her eyes gradually calmed down.

"Let's go." Lifting the door curtain, Ning Xiang said in a low voice.

The little girl's eyes were red, Guan Ping stared at her for a while, trying to persuade her to accept her fate, but couldn't speak.

On the bank of the North River, the flowing water was gurgling, and a black-topped carriage bumped to a stop by the river.

Before the coachman opened the curtain, Pei Jinghan came out with a sullen face, haggard.

When going to Jingzhou, the carriage took the official road, which was flat and smooth. When he encountered the county town, he would stop to rest for two days. When he came back, he was anxious to see her.When he arrived at Tai'an Mansion, he was worried that he would be caught by his father's old lady when he went back to Hou's Mansion first, so Pei Jinghan simply took a detour and came here first, planning to take her back with him.

As long as she is obedient and he doesn't get angry, he will treat her as a vacation of more than a month.

she is not good...

Pei Jinghan stood with his hands behind his back, looking around.

The sky is blue and the water is clear, and the scenery is quite beautiful. It is not wronged to ask her here.
