Flowers are expensive

Chapter 72 Who is the most heartless?

"Okay, I'll go to the old man first!" Matchmaker Wu smiled and went to the gate of the courtyard.As soon as her magpie-like voice went away, Lihua felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, cold and weird.Looking at where I was standing, Tian Yisheng was on the left, Mo Xiang was on the right, it looked like a light bulb?
Holding a bamboo shoot in one hand and a small hoe in the other, Tian Yisheng glanced at Lihua and Moxiang and asked, "Is there anything you can do at our house?" Moxiang didn't answer, and Lihua could only smile and said, "Master Xiucai, I have something I want to trouble you with." grandfather."

"What's the matter?" Tian Yisheng spoke in a tone that made it easy to beat him up, this was what Lihua was thinking!

"I want to trouble him to make a small stone mill. It doesn't need to be too big, just small." Li Hua gestured.

"My grandpa is getting old, and he hasn't done this for a long time. What's more, it's hard to find the stone, and he can't lift it, so you should find someone else."

"Can I find the stone myself?" Lihua didn't want to give up this opportunity, after all soaked rice waits for no one!After a few days, if it continues to be sour, the powder will be inferior.

Tian Yisheng glanced at Pear Blossom hesitantly. Instead of looking at Pear Blossom, it might be better to say that most of his eyes were cast behind Pear Blossom.Mo Xiang stood sideways, silent from beginning to end, completely treating herself as an invisible person.

"Eh? Master Xiucai, do you think it's okay?" Lihua asked again.

Tian Yisheng was silent for a moment, then said, "No way. Find someone else!"

"what?"

Lihua was still not reconciled, and continued: "Why don't you ask your grandfather? Maybe he will help? We are really in a hurry to use it! If you don't believe me, you can ask Mo Xiang!" What kind of friendship, anyway, I felt weird, so I had to pull Mo Xiang out from behind.

Mo Xiang squinted at Lihua, as if asking why she took me out?Isn't it over after you say it?Lihua stared back at her, I don't know him well, tell me!Mo Xiang frowned, as if to say that I don't know him well!
Tian Yisheng didn't seem interested in watching the two of them staring at each other, turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.Li Hua leaned into Mo Xiang's ear and murmured: "Grandma, think about my soaked rice, you can't let me go back and give up all my previous efforts!" Mo Xiang rolled her eyes, cocked her mouth and said, "It's a big deal, find someone else Heck! I heard that someone from Mijiaba over Haiziqiao can do it.”

"Going so far with a stone mill, you don't think it's too heavy, but I think it's too ostentatious! The whole village knows about it, what should I do if my family asks?"

"He said just now that he can't do it, I don't want to ask him. Maybe someone is going to have a wedding, how can we find a stone mill for us? Let's go, Fourth Aunt, and find something else!" Mo Xiang pulled Li Hua and walked away to go.

Lihua dragged her back, and persuaded her with "painful words": "Think about it, isn't it time-consuming to make a stone mill? It's not like finding a stone ready-made and knocking it twice. If you can't find someone today, you can find someone tomorrow." No, what should I do then? Do you still want to recruit a son-in-law to take care of your parents? Or marry far away, and you will never be able to return to your mother's house to see them for the rest of your life?"

Mo Xiang hesitated a little, blinked his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's done, I'll just say it once, if he doesn't agree, we'll leave right away!"

"Okay, let's not ask him, let's reason with him. He is a scholar, so he is always reasonable, isn't he?"

"He only reasoned with his books, when did he reason with people?" Mo Xiang said angrily.

Lihua couldn't help laughing, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Hey, you know him so well? Do you know that he can only reason?"

"Aunt Four!"

"When I didn't ask, go!" Li Hua patted her on the shoulder and said, "Fourth Aunt absolutely believes that you have a way to convince Tian Yisheng! Remember, I can't wait for my bubble rice!"

Mo Xiang was very reluctant, puffed up her cheeks, turned around and trotted a few steps towards Tian Yisheng to stop him.Lihua was a little far away, so she couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about, but she happened to be face to face with Tian Yisheng, and she could clearly see all the expressions of this little boy.

The more she watched, the more she felt that Tian Yisheng's attitude towards Mo Xiang was different. Although it was also cold, it seemed that the coldness was not so sharp and there was room for maneuver.She pinched her chin and said to herself: "Isn't it? Is it true that only Xi Shi is in the eyes of beholders?"

At this moment, two people came hurriedly on the path in the other direction, they were Mrs. Xiao and Dong Chuan.She was holding a basket in her hand, as if she was about to give a gift, she pushed Dong Chuan forward hastily.Who knew that Tian Yisheng and Mo Xiang were standing at the gate of the courtyard talking when they looked up, and they were a little stunned.

Lihua knew that Sister-in-law Xiao had a bad mouth, so she hurried over.Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao greeted Tian Yisheng with a roar, looked at Mo Xiang, and said sarcasticly, "Is Mo Xiang coming to see Yi Sheng for something? I heard that Yi Sheng is about to get engaged, so don't you shy away from being a girl?"

Mo Xiang immediately became angry, and when Lihua was about to speak up to defend her, Tian Yisheng said coldly to Mrs. Xiao: "She is here to look for me, not you, right? What's the matter, Xiao?" sister in law?"

"That..." Mrs. Xiao's face became a little embarrassed for a moment, and she laughed, "It's nothing serious, I just passed by here to give your grandma some pepper leaves to soak her feet. I heard her say it a few days ago, today I happened to go to work in the pepper garden, and I picked some good leaves and sent them to you. You have taught us Dongchuan how to read and write, and we are grateful!"

Tian Yisheng's face remained the same, and he said coldly: "My grandma is in the yard, you can go find her."

"Okay..." Mrs. Xiao said yes, but her feet didn't move.She lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked Yi Sheng with a smile on her face, "Don't blame me for being troublesome, I just asked by the way, I heard that you are going to be engaged to Jin Xiu?"

Tian Yisheng's face turned dark suddenly, Mo Xiang rolled his eyelids, and tightened his lips, as if a smile was about to pop out of his mouth.Lihua looked at his expression, as if it was a thunderstorm, and thought, Sister-in-law Xiao, you really like which pot you like and which pot you don't open!

Seeing that Tian Yisheng's expression was wrong, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly explained: "Don't worry too much! I just asked casually, thinking that if you are busy with your marriage recently, my Dongchuan family will not bother you. Let's talk about it after you are busy. What do you think, Yi Sheng?"

These words were clearly meant to be a test.As soon as it was reported that Tian Yisheng and Jin Xiu were going to get engaged, Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she didn't close her eyes all night.In the past few days, she has been walking around the village frequently, inquiring about this and that, but she never got any confirmation.After struggling and hesitating for a long time, she still brought Dong Chuan and a basket of pepper leaves to inquire about the news.

Tian Yisheng's complexion did not ease because of this, and a thick layer of oppressive black fainted in those sharp eyes.He turned his head and went into the courtyard, leaving only one sentence: "Whether he comes or not!"

"Then..." Sister-in-law Xiao's words were stuck in her throat, and she looked extremely embarrassed.But she thought about it again, could it be that Tian Yisheng was not happy about this marriage, so he got annoyed just by mentioning it?Thinking of it this way, she was a little happy again.When she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of Mo Xiang again, and couldn't help nagging: "Mo Xiang, it's not your aunt who is talking about you. What are you, an unengaged girl, always going to the door of Yi Sheng's house? Those who don't know think you It's pestering Yi Sheng!"

Lihua answered with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law Xiao, you have time to scold us Moxiang, why don't you hurry in and listen to what matchmaker Wu has to say."

"Matchmaker Wu?" Sister Xiao immediately became nervous, "Is she at Tian's?"

"I just went in and said that Tian Yisheng and Jin Xiu's horoscopes are closed. It's a match made in heaven, and they can't even be taken apart! Hurry up, go and congratulate Tian Yisheng!" "Are they all closed?" Sister Xiao said His face changed as if he was facing a big enemy, he turned his head and tugged Dong Chuan, and walked quickly into the yard.

Lihua and Moxiang couldn't help giggling, and then left the gate of Tian's house.Tian Yisheng agreed, but Shitou asked Lihua and the others to deliver it by themselves.Naturally, Man Xiang did the manual work of moving stones.

On the way to find Manxiang in Xiejiadi, Lihua curiously asked Moxiang what he had just said to Tian Yisheng, and changed his mind in a blink of an eye.Mo Xiang blinked her eyes and said, "I'll just tell him to help make a stone mill, and it won't take much work for Grandpa Tian."

"He agreed?"

"He said: 'Isn't it easy to tap and tap?'"

"Then what do you say?"

"I said it's a big deal. We'll send the stones and take them out for help. That's okay, right?" "Follow?"

"Follow him and agree." Mo Xiang said very easily.

"Huh?" Li Hua couldn't help but poked Mo Xiang on the forehead and said, "You, you, if I were Tian Yisheng, I would..."

"So what?"

"If you don't help me, forget it!"

"Hey, fourth aunt, you were the one who asked for a small stone mill, and now my son is helping Tian Yisheng to speak? If he doesn't help, who will make you a small stone mill?" Mo Xiang said confidently.

Lihua smiled and turned her head to look at Moxiang and asked, "Moxiang, I want to ask you something serious."

"Just ask."

"Why do you hate Tian Yisheng so much? I don't think he has a deep hatred for you! It stands to reason that you grew up in the same village, and you can't be childhood sweethearts, but you can always meet and be kind." right?"

Mo Xiang pouted and said, "I don't like talking to him! It's as if I owe him eighteen lifetimes of debt. Can you be kind? Who is not his servant who always holds his pot of bituminous coal?" What's more, I often couldn't understand what he said, and I didn't know whether to scold you or hurt you, so I simply stopped talking to him afterwards. "

"Hehehe..." Lihua laughed so hard that her branches trembled and she bent down.Mo Xiang asked innocently: "Fourth Aunt, what are you laughing at?"

"It seems," Li Hua straightened up and laughed, "You really never understood what he said!"

"You don't understand, do you? Last time I recited the sacrificial oration, only ghosts could understand it! Maybe he just made up a nonsense to coax everyone and make the mountain god happy! He is the only scholar in the village, who knows he read Right?"

"Mo Xiang," Li Hua put her arm on Mo Xiang's shoulder and smiled, "Can Fourth Aunt discuss things with you?"

"Why are you being polite to me? Tell me!"

"Next time Tian Yisheng tells you something you don't understand, can you come back and tell me?"

"Why, fourth aunt?"

"Uh... that... Fourth Aunt has studied and knows no less than Tian Yisheng. If he wants to scold you and hurt you, Fourth Aunt can remind you and scold you back, right? "

"good idea!"

The two then came to Xie's land to find Man Xiang, told Man Xiang about the stone and went home.Aunt Xie really doesn't take care of Lihua these days, she doesn't say hello when she meets her, and lets her play with Moxiang.Xie has a lot of family members, so there is no shortage of their two hands.

When it was almost noon, Man Ting and the other brothers all came back, but Man Sheng was not there.Aunt Xie asked Man Xing: "Where is Man Sheng? Why didn't you come back together? Did he not go to the field?" Man Xing was sweating profusely, and while wiping his sweat, he sat on the steps and said, "Call him to my father-in-law. I don't know if I'll be back at noon, so you can ask Jin Ling'er!"

Jin Ling'er hurriedly came out of the kitchen, and smiled at Aunt Xie: "Mother, my father called and said that the two rooms on the west side of the house wanted to be refurbished, so he called Man Sheng to help. Will be back for dinner."
