Chapter 202 Setting Up a Circle (Part [-])
Chapter 210 IX Setting Up a Circle (Second Update)
Mrs. Sun is very talented in investigative work, Jin Xi turned her lips up, and turned her eyes to Mrs. Sun again.

"It's rare that Taozhi can let go of those bad experiences in the past, and now he has opened his heart to accept boy Sheng. This is a great thing. We can see clearly that these two people have each other in their hearts, Taozhi Thin-skinned and thoughtful, Boy Sheng is honest and simple, if these two want to get together to live together, we have to push hard!" Sun thought seriously.

"Marriage is an important matter, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Xi'er and her uncle are now exiled, and the marriage of the boy should be decided by the sister-in-law. In this way, there shouldn't be so many obstacles!" Sun said.

Mrs. Sun nodded thoughtfully, patted Mrs. Sun's arm, and said, "What do you think of what I just told you?"

"Mother, you always say that father Xi'er invites Mr. Sheng out, tells him about it in private, and asks him to go to Taozhiniang in Zhengjia Village to propose marriage?" Mrs. Sun was surprised.

Mrs. Sun nodded with piercing eyes, and said: "Your uncle also knows about this. He is Taozhi's uncle. When I came to you, I met Sheng boy twice, and I think it's not bad."

"On the day of the first lunar month, Tao Zhiniang went back to Sunjiagou to visit relatives. The few of us talked about it in private. That's a good idea, as long as Boy Sheng sends someone out of the mountain to make a marriage proposal!"

Jin Xi's eyes are piercing, she never thought that Mrs. Sun's thinking is quite open and avant-garde, but is this kind of avant-garde thinking really feasible in this feudal society where men are respected?

"Mother, I always feel that this matter is not appropriate. How can the woman take the initiative? Even though Cousin Taozhi has gone to a few houses in front of her, she still needs to have what she deserves, or she will marry later. I have been looked down upon by people for a long time!" Sun pondered.

Seeing Mrs. Sun's anxious look, Jin Xi pursed her lips and took the bait and said, "Grandma's suggestion, no matter who takes the initiative first, it's all based on finding a good home for Biao Aunt Taozhi , This is not an exaggeration. However, my mother's concern is also reasonable. Isn't there a saying: "Marry a daughter with your head up, marry a daughter-in-law with your head down!"

"After all, how many houses did you pass in front of Aunt Taozhi..." Mrs. Sun reminded, meaning that if you meet Liang Lisheng now, why don't you hurry up and grab him?

"Garrah, because everyone in the village knows about Auntie Taozhi's past, we can't belittle ourselves. Instead, we have to give more praise to Auntie Taozhi and my second cousin."

"Otherwise, for a long time to come, my cousin Taozhi won't be able to settle down in the village!" Jin Xi said.

Old Madam Sun and Mrs. Sun's eyes met, and after pondering for a while, they both felt that Jin Xi's words were the most reasonable. "But how can I praise you?" Mrs. Sun was puzzled.

Jin Xi pursed her lips into a smile, and said, "Well, mother just praised me for my ideas, so let me think of it!"

……

The next day, after breakfast, Jinxi packed up her luggage and got on the ox cart, and set off for Wanghai County with Liang Yuzhong.

From Jinjishan Village to Wanghai County, there is a direct official road. The official road goes around Changqiao Town. At the entrance and exit of the official road in the north of the town, there is a cart and horse shop. Passers-by hire horses and carts and feed them. Passers-by drink tea for a living.

Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi drove the ox cart towards the official road crossing in the north of the town, and saw a tall, thin woman with a headscarf on her head, and a big bamboo basket covered in one hand. holding a cloth, and holding an eight or nine-year-old boy with the other hand, standing at the intersection and looking around.

The boy obviously didn't like to come to these places, his eyes were wide open and he was so curious about everything, he wanted to touch and touch everything, the woman looked around and restrained the boy, flustered.

"Father, are the couple in front of you the second mother and boy Bai?" Jin Xi pointed at the pair of mother and son in front of him and asked Liang Yuzhong, because the woman was wearing a turban and her face was sideways, but Jin Xi could tell at a glance. He saw that the boy next to him was undoubtedly Liang Libai.

"Ah, it's really them!" Liang Yuzhong said in surprise, and the speed of the ox cart slowed down.

"Look at this attire, it looks like he's going to visit relatives, the second uncle is also close, right?" Jin Xi said, Mrs. Yang specially wore a blue-gray skirt today, Jin Xi's eyes were on the one in front Searching among the crowd of carriages one by one, as expected, in front of a carriage, Jin Xi saw Liang Yulin, who seemed to be bargaining with him!
Yang's eyes kept paying attention to the passing carriages, but she didn't realize that Liang Yuzhong's ox cart had slowly stopped in front of her, but Liang Libai noticed it first, pointing at the ox cart and shouting excitedly: "Mother, look quickly, Third Uncle, it’s Third Uncle!”

"Second Mom, boy Bai, where are you going?" Jin Xi sat behind and asked with a smile.

Yang looked away and saw Liang Yuzhong and his daughter on the bullock cart in front of him. He was surprised at first, then raised his jaw and said, "We are going to visit relatives in the county, real relatives! Girl Xi, what are you and your father doing?" go?"

"Hey, what a coincidence, we are also going to the county town!" Jin Xi said.

"My sister is going to have a baby. My mother took me and my father to the county town to be a Gapo. Third uncle, sister Xi'er, look at me. It's the new clothes that my mother ripped for me. Said Cheng This is the fashion among the locals now, but Young Boy doesn’t have it, so I’m envious!” Liang Libai patted his chest happily and showed off to Jin Xi, because he was too excited, the two clear snots under his nose were bubbling.

Jin Xi glanced over the brand-new clothes of Yang Shi and Liang Libai, and said with a smile, "Well, it's so bright and beautiful, I almost couldn't recognize it."

"Second sister-in-law, we are all going to the county town to drop by. How about you let the second brother come back and let's go there together?" Liang Yuzhong looked at Liang Yulin, who was still bargaining with others and his face was red, and said to Yang.Jin Xi sat in the back and didn't make a sound, so it's not a big deal to take a ride anyway.

Yang squinted from the scalper pulling the cart to the cart connected behind and the cushions on the cart, the sparse eyebrows on the horse's face frowned, the corners of the mouth twitched, and said: "Tsk tsk , this old cow can't do enough feet, and I can't drive so far with so many people, I'm very surprised! Besides, the road is also bumpy, you go first, your second brother will get it in a while Bring a carriage, that's called comfort!"

"Father, Second Mom doesn't care about our ox cart, I still feel sorry for our ox, so why bother, let's go!" Jin Xi said.

Liang Yuzhong nodded, lightly waved his whip, and the bullock cart started up again, passing in front of Mrs. Yang and Liang Libai, and Liang Libai's voice came from behind him.

"Mother, why don't we ride in the bullock cart of the third uncle's house? I see that it's fun for Sister Xi'er to sit in!"

Yang sneered: "You know what a fart, that's called shabby!"

Not to mention being a donkey with good intentions, he would still be ridiculed, Jin Xi tightened his fingers holding the armrests on both sides, and was about to explode, Liang Yuzhong turned his head and said to Jin Xi: "Xi'er, forget it!"

Jin Xi frowned, the ox cart hadn't driven more than two feet, suddenly, Liang Yulin's voice came from behind: "Old man, girl Xi, wait a minute..."

Jin Xi turned her head and saw Liang Yulin waving vigorously while chasing this way, Jin Xi smiled coldly, turned her face away, and said to Liang Yuzhong: "Father, are we still talking?"

Liang Yuzhong was pissed off by Yang's good intentions just now, and said with a dull face, "I don't care!"

Because the intersection of Shangguan Road in front is not too wide, and there are two carriages in front, Liang Yuzhong's ox cart is moving very slowly, Liang Yulin catches up from behind, stretches his arms to stop in front of the ox cart, running out of breath Still angry, he couldn't help scolding: "I said... third child, how can you be like this? My brother is calling you to pretend not to hear, this is not, not authentic!"

"Second brother, what are you doing in front of Niutou?" Liang Yuzhong asked coldly.

"Hey, third child, are you and Xi'er going to the county seat? That's a good idea. Let's drop by and go together to have fun on the road. Your second sister-in-law and nephew are waiting there, so I'll call you over! "

"Second brother..." Before Liang Yuzhong could speak, Liang Yulin had already jumped up and waved to Yang's mother and son over there. After a while, Yang pulled Liang Libai over with a face of reluctance, and stood there dawdling of.

Liang Yulin picked up Liang Libai and was about to put him on the cart, but Jin Xi stopped him.

"Second Uncle, don't tell me!" Jin Xi squinted at Yang Shi who was on the sidelines, and told Liang Yulin about the previous part with a half-smile.

"Second uncle, it's not that we don't want to make things easier for you. Our ox cart is slow, bumpy and dirty, so I dare not wrong my second mother!"

"That's what it is!" Yang said disdainfully, and blamed Liang Yulin: "Papa Lan'er, didn't you hire a carriage, why did you come back empty-handed?"

"Hire hire hire, do you think it's easy to hire a carriage? Counting the carriage and the horseman driving the carriage, there's no such number, don't count on it!" Liang Yulin pulled Yang aside, lowered his voice, and made a gesture. Sitting there, Jin Xi heard and saw all the gestures.

"Girl Xi, third brother, Lan Erniang is a woman who has never been out of the village. What do you know? Don't bother with her! Third brother, second brother, I will pay you for your sister-in-law, Lan Er! The baby is going to be born in two days, let's hurry there and give us a ride, huh?"

Liang Yulin turned back and said kind words to Liang Yuzhong with a smile on his face. Yang's previous dislike also changed, and a bright big smile appeared on Ma's face.

Liang Yuzhong was just getting mad at Yang, and it wasn't a big deal at all. Now that Liang Yulin had a smooth soup, Liang Yuzhong also returned to normal, but he didn't let go immediately, and turned his head to look at Jin Xi, leaving the decision-making power to she.

Liang Yulin immediately understood that Jin Xi had the final say on this matter, so he moved over and began to curry favor with Jin Xi.

Jin Xi was too lazy to look at Yang's dazzling smirk, and ignored Liang Yulin's sweet words, she just stretched out one palm and said, "Second Uncle, you can hire a carriage to get this amount, we are relatives, I don't care about you If you want more, if you have three more people, my cattle will be exhausted enough, so I will charge you for fodder, that's all!"

"What? You have to pay [-] Wen for a ride in this broken car of yours? Pooh, it's not easy to use [-] Wen, so it's better to walk to the county town!" Yang immediately turned her face and spat. .

As soon as Liang Yuzhong lifted his whip, he was about to urge the ox cart to move, but was grabbed by Liang Yulin.

Liang Yulin first gouged Yang's eyes hard, then turned to Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi with an apologetic smile and said: "Sure, forty Wen is forty Wen, but you have to send our family of three to Lan'er and their alley to speak!"

Liang Yuzhong turned to look at Jin Xi again, Jin Xi smiled, jumped out of the carriage with her own cushion, and sat side by side with Liang Yuzhong.Later, Liang Yulin carried Liang Libai into the bullock cart, and jumped into the bullock cart himself. Yang Shi still stood there reluctantly, Jin Xi turned her head and smiled, and said, "Isn't Second Mom really going to the county seat? Then we won't Reluctantly!"

"Not at all, not at all, very good!" Liang Yulin hurriedly said, grabbed Mrs. Yang and got into the car. Liang Yuzhong turned his head and glanced at the family of three behind him, and said, "Sit tight!" Lightly waving the whip, the scalper pulled a car full of people slowly up the official road and headed towards the county seat.

It is said that there are many people on this road, so they can talk to relieve boredom, but Liang Yuzhong concentrates on driving, Jin Xi enjoys the roadside scenery along the way, and looks at the growth of rapeseed and wheat on both sides of the road.During the period, Liang Yulin tried to talk to Liang Yuzhong several times, but was coldly dismissed.However, Jin Xi did not snub Liang Yulin after getting in the car, and would turn around to chat with him from time to time.

Yang rubbed Liang Libai to see the scenery all the way, closed his eyes and fell asleep, Liang Libai had returned to the county since he was born, and he was curious about everything along the way, so the journey was lively and tight.

Two hours later, the ox cart finally drove into Wanghai County. According to the address provided by Liang Yulin and the conversation along the way, Jin Xi learned that after Liang Jinlan and Yang Feng got married, they had been living in Changqing Alley on the East Street of the county seat. In the courtyard, the maids and servants are complete, and there are carriages in and out. Liang Jinlan is living a good life as a young lady.

Jin Xi didn't pay attention to Liang Jinlan's married life, but became interested in the Changqing Alley in the east of the city. If I remember correctly, Liang Lihui came to visit a few days ago, and in anger, he revealed the place where Liang Yuju's golden house hides his beauty. Is it the Evergreen Alley in the east of the city?It seems that the distant relatives and close neighbors are really a family!

Jin Xi heard Liang Yulin complain, saying that it was inconvenient to get in and out of the old Liang's house, the front and back were blocked by people from the first room and the fourth room, and even when going to the toilet, he had to go to the backyard with his trousers, the boss was uncomfortable, He wanted to dig another latrine, but couldn't find a suitable place, so he just froze.

Jin Xi changed her mind, cleverly brought the topic to the purchase of a house in the county town.

"The Yang family is busy with the business of the cloth village in the town. Even if Sister Lan'er is surrounded by maidservants, they are not as at ease as the second mother and second uncle who are around to take care of them." Jin Xi laughed.

Seeing the moved expression on Yang's face, Jin Xi calmly added another fire, and continued: "After all, it was the married daughter who poured out the water, and the second uncle and the second mother occasionally visit the house, but it will take a long time. Living at Sister Lan'er's place, not to mention the servant girl's attention from people, I'm afraid it's not as comfortable as living at home."
