Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 478
Seeing him like that, Li Xin was surprised and said, "Is there really any news in the town?"

"It's nothing else..." Guan Wen pondered, "You know, if I go to the town to hear something, it's just to hear about the An family and the Shen family. There are rumors about the family, at most it's just a two-point embarrassment to Miss An..."

Thinking of An Xuan, Miss An's family, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.Although there is nothing wrong with being kind and soft-hearted, it is stupid to listen to one side and believe too much.Innocence and stupidity are really just a word difference.

Guan Wen said in a deep voice: "Didn't it be rumored some time ago that the thieves from the north were active in our Yizhou prefecture? It seems that a family has been wiped out in a county or town recently. No one was spared, all of them died unexpectedly, and their deaths were miserable..."

Guan Wen paused, put his arms around Li Xin's shoulders and let her lean against him, as if afraid of her fear.

"Because of this, things about those thieves have been uncovered again and again. Everyone is living in fear, for fear of being watched. The town is quite deserted."

Li Xin exhaled: "Then Master Xue probably sent his son to the countryside for this reason." Li Xin said: "If he is really afraid of thieves, he can detain Qingyan at home, which is better than Let him be strong alone in our rural area."

"Or maybe you think those thieves and bandits are only looking at the rich and powerful families in the town?" Guan Wen said, "It is said that the family involved in the accident is quite wealthy, with several thousand acres of fertile land under their hands, and the tenant farmers who work for them all There are hundreds of…”

Li Xin pursed his lips, and suddenly asked: "Then is the town still peaceful now?"

"I haven't been there recently, so I haven't heard any news." Guan Wendao: "But every time I go, I always go to look for my fourth brother. He said that he didn't hear what happened in the town, so it's still peace. .”

Li Xin didn't say anything else, and coaxed Yang'er and Xiaokang to go back, while he discussed with Guan Wen about the painting of the new house.

Guan Wen had already negotiated with Master Wu about fixing the fireplace, and Master Wu readily agreed that he would be able to bring people to work tomorrow or the day after.As for painting and decorating the new house, Li Xin wanted to discuss it with her family. She wanted to ask each of them clearly what kind of house everyone wanted, at least to make every family member basically satisfied.

While Master Wu was busy repairing and hanging the fireplace, Guan Wen, Li Xin and Amei also went to town together.

The time for Qiuwei was getting closer and closer, so they should pick up Mrs. Wei so that Wei Xingzhi could go to the state capital Qiuwei without distraction.

When Li Xin arrived at the entrance of Jiuzi Alley, he could smell a very intoxicating aroma of wine wafting from Jiuzi Alley.A man might put his nose in and take a deep breath, but Li Xin has never liked the smell of wine, so he immediately covered his nose, frowned and said softly: "Although this alley is called Jiuzi Alley, the smell of wine used to It's not that strong..."

A-mei also frowned slightly: "This smell is too strong, could it be that there is an alcoholic in this family?"

While talking, the three of them headed towards Wei's house. The closer they got to Wei's house, the clearer the smell became.

Guan Wen patted the door panel and shouted, "Brother Wei is at home?"

"I'm coming!"

Soon, Aunt Wei's voice came, accompanied by bursts of coughing.There was a sound of footsteps, and the door was opened immediately. Aunt Wei said in surprise: "It's you! Come in, come in!"

After speaking, Aunt Wei coughed twice again, and opened the door to invite them in.

A-mei hurriedly supported Aunt Wei, with real worry on her face: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Aunt Wei quickly waved her hands, "I'm not sick, I'm just choking on the smell of alcohol..."

Aunt Wei looked helpless, and told them to come in and do it. Li Xin hurriedly told her not to bother, and poured tea by herself, and first handed it over to Auntie Wei for Auntie to drink.

"Ma'am, is Brother Wei here?"

"I went out to sell calligraphy and paintings." Aunt Wei said with a smile on her face: "He, he has been going out early and returning late recently. The autumn time is coming, he is tight at this time to earn more travel expenses, and then go there It won't be that hard."

Li Xin nodded, she had always admired Wei Shusheng's integrity.The first time I saw him on the pier, although I felt that the scholar was a little pedantic, "A good man doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages", but he wanted to confront Yan San.After several encounters, it can be seen that this is a person of true temperament, otherwise A-mei secretly promised him in her heart, and Li Xin would not have complied with her and helped to match up this relative.

"Auntie, we are here to pick you up to Lotus Village." Li Xin said with a smile: "I mentioned last time that Wei Shusheng will worry about you when he goes to Qiuwei. You are old and not good. Follow him to the state capital. We were busy a while ago, so we didn't have time to come here to see you, but now that it's almost time for Qiuwei, that's why we came here to pick you up."

A-mei echoed softly: "The house sister-in-law is also ready, just waiting for you to come."

Aunt Wei laughed from ear to ear.A few days ago, she even whispered to Wei Shusheng about this matter, but it was brought up by the Guan family after all. Let's talk about this again.I didn't expect people to pick me up in person today.

After all, marrying the Guan family is a pair!This future daughter-in-law is filial, and everyone in the in-laws is also kind and kind, and there is no need to bend their minds.

Aunt Wei smiled and said, "This... Xingzhi hasn't come back yet, let's talk about it when he comes back."

Guan Wen got up and said, "Ma'am, where does Wei Shusheng sell calligraphy and paintings? I'll go and have a look. If it gets dark at night, this road will be difficult."

Aunt Wei hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, he said it's from Xifang, and it may take a while to find it."

Guan Wen paused, and frowned slightly.

Li Xin glanced at him, Guan Wen forced a smile, and said in a slightly low voice, "Good lady, I'll go right away."

Aunt Wei had no doubts about him, she nodded and smiled as Guan Wen left.

Li Xin muttered in his heart.

After Fourth Master Shen's wedding banquet last time, Guan Wen went to the town to inquire about things, but because he heard the name of Fourth Master Shen and Liu Yange's name, he went to Liuyan Pavilion. Fourth master had a chat and met Xue Qian.

After returning, Guan Wen told Li Xin the truth, and he was a little cautious in speaking, for fear that Li Xin might misunderstand that he had other purposes for going to the brothel.

Li Xin didn't pay much attention to it at that time, because he didn't want to argue with Guan Wen about the brothel.Whether her own man is the kind of person who is looking for flowers and asking Liu, Li Xin is confident that he can still trust him, so naturally she will not doubt him.The relationship between husband and wife depends on the negotiation. According to Guan Wen's temperament, if he really did something, he would never mention Liuyan Pavilion.

Secondly, after all, Liuyan Pavilion was not the focus at that time, the focus was on the death of Master An's family.If human life is involved, of course she will not care about anything else.

It's just that Li Xin still remembers—maybe it's because of a woman's narrow-mindedness, but she remembers the name of that place very clearly.

At that time, Guan Wenming mentioned that Liuyan Pavilion was in Xifang.

And now the place where Wei Shusheng sells calligraphy and paintings is also Xifang?
Aunt Wei was talking to Li Xin, and asked Li Xin what was going on at home, so Li Xin regained her mind and started talking to Aunt Wei.

After staying for a while, the aroma of the wine dissipated a little.Maybe it's because people have been here for a long time, and the smell penetrated into the nasal cavity and made people get used to it, so the strong smell is relatively light.

Even if it is a little lighter, it is still quite pungent.

Li Xin couldn't help asking: "Ma'am, we haven't smelled such a strong smell of wine before, what's going on today, why is it so strong... Wait for a while to go out, others thought we had a hangover .”

Aunt Wei couldn't help laughing: "Look at us sober, we don't look like people who have a hangover."

But he sighed again, "Not next door..."

Aunt Wei pointed to the family next door to her.

"The last time you came and left, Xingzhi told me that the second sister Qiao was a duplicity. I looked at it later and felt that something was wrong. She came to talk to me again, and there was no need for her." Doesn’t she stay every day? Then I discovered that she didn’t do any work at all, and gradually my attitude towards her became weaker, and then she didn’t come to the door for some reason.”

Speaking of that, Aunt Wei sighed again: "But I have seen her men beat her several times later, and it is very unpleasant to swear at her. What can I say about him... I will die for such a broken woman like her... Hey, And then I didn't see her anymore, but the smell of alcohol from next door gradually diffused, presumably that man couldn't think of it, drinking bars every day..."

Li Xin frowned. It's inconvenient for her to talk about other people's housework, but the smell of this wine...is too strong, as if knocking over the wine jar. If you really drink like this, you can't drink it to death?
"The aunt has never seen the couple who took over the room next door to you?" Li Xin asked.

Aunt Wei nodded: "No, I don't go out very often. I just go out to buy some vegetables, meat, rice noodles, etc., and I can't meet Second Sister Qiao. I guess she hasn't come out much."

Aunt Wei sighed: "At first I thought she was inconsistent, coaxing me to talk to her, and I was upset. Then she stopped coming, and I heard her man beating and scolding her again. I have seen her a few times The way she was beaten... I feel that she is really pitiful..."

"My aunt is kind." Li Xin said with a smile, "But this is also someone else's housework, and it's not easy for outsiders to take care of it."

Aunt Wei waved her hand: "I didn't want to respond, I just thought she was a woman, so pitiful."

If she wanted to live a stable life, her man would not beat her.Li Xin thought to herself.The man in his thirties who came out of Wei's house last time and saw a fierce face should be the man of the second sister Qiao. Although he looks very scary, the sweat scarf hanging around his neck clearly Tell others that he is a responsible man who works hard to support his family.Later, beating her... I'm afraid I also heard the rumors, so I lost my temper.
