Chapter 21
Shangguanxi frowned, and turned his head unhappily.

Meng Yuxuan knelt down and looked into Shangguanxi's eyes.

Shangguanxi was awkward and just didn't look at her.Meng Yuxuan pulled his hand, but he also shook it away.

"Xi'er angry?" Meng Yuxuan laughed. "But because my mother didn't listen to you?"

"Mother, that hurts the eyes. 20 days is too fast. For such a large embroidery job, most people have to embroider for more than half a year." Shangguan Xi pouted.

"Mother knows." Meng Yuxuan hugged Shangguanxi and gently touched his face. "Xi'er loves mother very much, and mother is very happy. But Xi'er, your father doesn't know how long he will be away, and the family has no money. Mother wants to cure Xi'er's illness, so that Xi'er can be with mother forever."

"Mother, is Xi'er your burden? Did Xi'er make you hard?" Shangguanxi lowered his head sadly.

"No. You are my happiness." Meng Yuxuan chuckled.

Liniang came out of the room, seeing the warm scene in front of her, envy flashed in her eyes.

How wonderful it would be if she had such a lovely child!Unfortunately, her life is not good.

"Boss lady... Boss lady..." Meng Yuxuan looked at Li Niang who was in a daze, and called out several times.

"Oh! Sister. The things are ready and packed for you. Sister, please pay more attention, and you must rush out." Liniang said: "If you can't get out, just rush out the important places. And then a few days in advance Leave the day to me, and I will arrange for a few embroiderers to rush to work. The Tang family is not easy to offend, and this is an important thing, so there must be no mistakes."

"Madam boss, don't worry, I will drive out." Meng Yuxuan said, "I'll leave first if I have nothing to do."

The mother and son left.Liniang looked at their backs for a while.Seeing this, the guy next to him sighed, "Miss Boss, are you still thinking about that child? Since you couldn't bear it, why did you throw him away? Thinking about him now is really asking for trouble."

Liniang smiled bitterly and said: "Back then, I couldn't help myself. Now that I'm free, I thought I was finally willing to suffer, but every night my mind was full of the child I abandoned. It used to be that my body was not free, but now it's My heart is not free. I am a miserable person."

After leaving Xiuge, Meng Yuxuan dragged Shangguanxi to the stop of the ox cart.Seeing them, Wang Chengkui let out a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here now? Mrs. Lin and Feng'er are looking for you." Wang Chengkui said with a frown.

"Does it need to be said? Someone's hawthorn cake couldn't be sold, and felt ashamed to find a place to hide and cry." Huan Erniang gloated.

Meng Yuxuan looked at the people sitting in the bullock cart.Huan'erniang and Cheng'erniang looked like they were enjoying the show, and the others were also evasive and did not dare to look at her.

Wang Chengkui said: "Sit up, mother and son. I'll go and see Mrs. Lin and Feng'er. You can leave when they come back."

"Uncle Wang, is Mother Xi'er back?" At this moment, Feng'er's voice was heard from afar.

Meng Yuxuan turned her head and saw Feng'er and Aunt Lin running from a distance.The two of them ran out of breath and didn't see her and Shangguanxi for a moment.

When Wang Chengkui saw those two people, he responded loudly: "I just came back. You came back just in time, lest I have to look for you again."

Meng Yuxuan, who was originally bored with the villagers, calmed down when she saw these two people.She stood up and waved to them, "Auntie, Sister-in-law Feng'er, I'm here."

"Oh, you're back." Aunt Lin panted, "Xi'erniang, your hawthorn cake is sold? Where is the burden? Why are you missing?"

Cheng Erniang laughed and said, "It must have been thrown away with the burden. Who would buy such harmful things? We are not fools."

"That's not true. Now the whole town knows that the hawthorn cake she sells is poisonous. Only a fool would buy it." Huanerniang replied.

Meng Yuxuan crossed her arms and looked coldly at the two singers.

"Thanks to Huanerniang and Chengerniang for talking about my hawthorn cake, otherwise, how could I have such a well-known reputation now? But it really makes everyone think, the burden I picked is indeed connected with the hawthorn cake Throw it away together. It’s just that they didn’t throw it away, but threw it to a person and asked him to sell it for me. If there is no accident, it will be sold out in two days!” Meng Yuxuan watched the two finish speaking, Turning back to Aunt Lin and Feng'er, she said, "Aunt Lin, sister-in-law Feng'er, you don't have to worry about me. Smart people know how to judge whether my hawthorn cake is poisonous or not."

"That's good." Aunt Lin wiped her sweat and said with a smile, "Then let's go back."

Huan'erniang said unwillingly: "How could someone buy her hawthorn cake? Do you want to die?"

"Do you believe what she says? I think she is a dead duck with a hard mouth." Cheng Erniang snorted: "Leave her alone. Xi'er's father is not here, let's see how long she can last. Maybe she will run away in a few days."

"That's not true. That woman looks like a goblin. In the past, Xi'er's father could take care of her, but now no one cares about her. I don't know how to hook up with her." Huan'erniang snorted.

"Mother..." Shangguanxi pulled Meng Yuxuan by the corner of her clothes, pouted with displeasure.

"It's okay, don't bother with them." Meng Yuxuan hugged Shangguanxi and smiled softly: "You're tired! Lay on mother's body and sleep for a while. When you get home, mother will cook for you. When your father comes back, we will So I can give him a white and fat Xi'er."

"That's right. When a woman is married, the most important thing is the man and children in the family. When Xi'er's father comes back, you can add another child to him. The family will be happy and happy, and even the gods will envy you." Aunt Lin smiled. said.

"Auntie is right. By the way, why didn't you see Heizi?" Meng Yuxuan asked curiously.

"We met my mother on the street, she said she missed Hei Zi, and took him back to live for a few days. He will be sent back to us in a few days." Feng'er laughed.

"That's great. Heizi is loved by grandma, and grandma loves him. He's really happy." Meng Yuxuan said looking at Shangguanxi who had fallen asleep.

"It's the same for Xi'er if you hurt me. Don't think about it!" Aunt Lin said.

Back in the village, Meng Yuxuan got off the ox cart with Shangguanxi in her arms.Feng'er helped her lift the pannier down.

When I was in the bullock cart just now, several women in the village had been staring at her basket.One of the women pretended to kick it accidentally, and when she went to support it, she lifted the old cloth covering it, and saw the pork inside at a glance.At that time, everyone looked at her with complicated eyes.Among them, jealousy is the most.After all, even the village head with the best conditions in the village is not like them who eat meat all day long.

Meng Yuxuan carried Shangguanxi back to the house and put him on the bed.When she came out again, Feng'er had already carried the basket into her kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much. Don't cook at night, just eat at my house!" Meng Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Don't be polite to me. I won't eat. I have a lot of work at home, so I can't leave. I will trouble you later when I am free." Feng'er said shyly: "That... Niang Xi'er, I want to please help me."

"Why are my sister-in-law and I being polite? We are not as close as a family. If you are so polite, I will not dare to ask you for help in the future." Meng Yuxuan said angrily.

"I'm not being polite to you. It's like this. I have a younger brother who is studying in Licheng. When I saw my mother today, she said that my father... my father may not be able to die. He wants to see his brother for the last time. I just want to be able to Can't bring him a letter to let him come back earlier." Feng'er said with red eyes. "I heard that you can read, can you write a letter to my brother for me?"

"Write the letter now, when you deliver the letter, can your father wait in time?" Meng Yuxuan took Feng'er's hand and sat down.

Feng'er wiped away tears, with a look of bewilderment.

"Actually, it's also possible. Do you know the Yu family?" Seeing Feng'er's puzzled expression, Meng Yuxuan continued, "The Yu family has a caravan that is responsible for delivering things to people."

"It must be very expensive, right? Only wealthy families can afford a caravan." Feng'er hesitated.

"It shouldn't be cheap. But you want to see your brother quickly, this is the fastest way." Meng Yuxuan said.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my mother. If it doesn't work, we have to admit it." Feng'er said.

"I think of someone who might be able to help you." Meng Yuxuan thought for a while and said, "When I was a maid, I saved someone who seemed to be able to talk to Yu's family. I have to go to the city tomorrow. How about I ask him for help?"

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Xi Erniang. This matter will trouble you." Feng Er excitedly held Meng Yuxuan's hand.

"I don't know if this matter will be possible or not. It's too early to thank you. Tell me the address. I'll write the letter later and try to find that person." Meng Yuxuan said: "However, if... no, you Don't blame me."

"What did Xi Erniang say? Am I such a ignorant person? You can rest assured. You can't blame this matter for everything." Feng'er said hastily. "My younger brother is studying at Moxiang Academy in Licheng. His name is Qin Cheng."

"Moxiang Academy, Qin Cheng. I understand." Meng Yuxuan wrote down the person's name.

"Then, I'll go back." Feng'er smiled.

After Feng'er left, Meng Yuxuan immediately packed the things in the basket.

In addition to food, she bought some seeds.Sprinkle the seeds into the space later.

The seeds she got from the shopkeeper of the restaurant last time have sprouted.But looking at the growth, she couldn't recognize what it was.Only when it grows, she slowly studies whether it can be eaten.If they can eat, no matter what happens in the future, they will not be hungry.

Shangguanxi hadn't woken up yet.Meng Yuxuan took advantage of this time to water the vegetables in the vegetable garden.

boom!There was a loud knock at the door.

Meng Yuxuan was stunned.

With Shangguan Huan not here, she and Shangguanxi were left at home, and any trouble would make her nervous for a long time.It seems that she has to take out the martial arts cheats in the space to practice earlier.If you have martial arts, you are not afraid of encountering ghosts and monsters.

"Just let Xi'er practice with me. There are so many cheat books in the space, there is always something suitable for him." Meng Yuxuan said to herself.

"Mother...Mother..." Shangguanxi's anxious voice sounded in the yard. "There is a blood man lying here. Mother, come and have a look!"

Meng Yuxuan was surprised.She put down the ladle in her hand and ran quickly to Shangguan Creek at the door.

No wonder there was a sound just now, it turned out that someone fell at the door of their house.Her vigilance is so low.Not only did Shangguanxi not find it when he woke up, but he didn't even notice a bloody man lying at the door.Wouldn't it be dangerous to hide someone with malicious intentions?
