Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 99

When Du Xiaoyu came out, he saw Zhang Zhuoyu lingering at the door, and said strangely, "Hey, you're still there!"

"Uncle Du, I asked someone to lead me to wait in the side hall, Sister Huang Hua..."

"It hurts badly!" Du Xiaoyu gritted his teeth.

He hurriedly comforted him, "I'm afraid you are worried. My aunt found the best doctor at that time. Sister Huang Hua's injury looks serious, but she will recover after a short rest."

Having said that, it seems that she can be cured, but how can her anger disappear so easily?If Du Huanghua doesn't pursue others, she can't do it!
"Zhuo Yu, when my eldest sister burned her hand, who else was there?"

Zhang Zhuoyu was taken aback, "I heard from my servant that Sister Rong was also there that day."

Sure enough it was her!

Du Xiaoyu clenched her fists, "Did you all believe that my sister burned her hand for such an obvious thing? How is this possible! I thought that Mrs. Wan was also a fair person, but it was nothing more than that!"

So what if you hire the best doctor?Can you cover up Miss Rong?
Zhang Zhuoyu blushed at what she said, and murmured, "No, my aunt is not this kind of person. Sister Huang Hua has to bear it all, and Sister Rong refuses to admit it. This matter is..."

Seeing that he was in a hurry to explain, Du Xiaoyu also felt that he had said too much. After all, Mrs. Wan was his aunt, so she hurriedly said, "I made a slip of the tongue just now, I'm really sorry, please don't take it to heart."

Zhang Zhuoyu let out a sigh of relief, "You are also my friend when you say these words in front of me, but my aunt is definitely not such a person, Xiaoyu, don't worry."

"Well, but I still want to see Mrs. Wan, Zhuo Yu, take me there."

"Ah?" Zhang Zhuoyu said in surprise, "You don't believe what I said? Do you want to question my aunt face to face?"

Du Xiaoyu said with a smile, "How is this possible? After all, Mrs. Wan is also the master of the eldest sister. I know the etiquette, but I just want to know her opinion on this matter. Now my sister has burned her hand before learning double-sided embroidery." Alright, so what do we do next?"

Zhang Zhuoyu also understood Sister Rong's personality, so she nodded immediately, "Okay, then I'll take you there, my aunt should be in the garden."

It was midsummer at this time, and the weather was hot. There were many trees planted in Wanfu's garden, which was a good place to enjoy the cool air.

Mrs. Wan was sitting on a rattan chair admiring the flowers. There were various fruits on the high table in front of her, and a maid behind her was fanning her with a round fan, which made her extremely comfortable.

Seeing Zhang Zhuoyu leading Du Xiaoyu, he smiled slightly and said, "Here comes Xiaoyu."

Du Xiaoyu wished her well, "I have met my wife."

"Xiaoyu has something to say to auntie." Zhang Zhuoyu said.

Mrs. Wan raised her eyebrows, guessing what was going on in her heart, she sat up slightly and said, "I, as a master, feel sorry for Huang Hua being injured. If you want her to go back and recuperate for a few days, that's fine."

"My sister doesn't want my parents to worry, I'm afraid they won't go back with me." Du Xiaoyu said.

"Oh? Then why did you come here?"

"My sister's temperament, I think Mrs. Wan can also see it. She likes to hide any grievances in her heart. Now that her father and mother are not by her side, the only thing she can rely on is your master." Du Xiaoyu lowered her head and said "But Mrs. Wan, according to the current situation, I'm afraid that my sister's hands will be destroyed before she learns your true biography!"

These words were a bit serious, and Zhang Zhuoyu next to him changed his face, and said softly, "Little fish..."

Mrs. Wan also looked at the little girl. Du Huanghua's hand was burned, and everyone knew the truth.

She watched Sister Rong grow up, and she accepted her as a disciple when she was five years old. Unfortunately, the girl's eighteenth year of college changes, and her temperament becomes more and more unpleasant, but the relationship of more than ten years is there, but it is not overnight. can be broken.

But Du Huanghua is a soft persimmon and too kind, so she refuses to tell the truth, what can she do?
However, this introverted disciple has a pungent younger sister who already knows how to stand up for her elder sister at a young age. Mrs. Wan smiled slightly, "Your elder sister has a pair of rare skillful hands, how can I, as a master, let it be so easily?" Destroyed? It’s fine if this happened once, whoever is so careless next time, I will never forgive her!”

Du Xiaoyu just wanted to hear this sentence. It seems that Mrs. Wan didn't protect Sister Rong that much. Otherwise, she was so aggressive as a village girl. Mrs. Wan is really a person who doesn't know right from wrong. If you are a bright mirror, I would like to thank you.

When she was leaving, she thought of one thing, and turned around to ask Mrs. Wan, "If my elder sister has a good marriage, will the wife allow her to marry?"

Mrs. Wan was stunned for a moment, "Someone came to your house to say kiss? That's right, Huang Hua is not young anymore."

"Not sure yet, I just want to ask my wife."

Mrs. Wan thought for a while and said, "Huang Hua is a person who really likes embroidery. Even if she gets married and has children, she will definitely be able to concentrate on her studies. If your family really wants to marry Huang Hua, I won't delay her lifelong affairs. What about the three-year contract? It doesn't matter if it is loose for a few months or a year."

After hearing this, Du Xiaoyu felt more relieved. It seemed that Mrs. Wan really valued Du Huanghua, and she smiled happily, "My eldest sister really did not worship the wrong master. Mrs. Wan, you cherish your disciples so much, you are really a good master!"

Mrs. Wan smiled, "You are also an ever-changing child, Huang Hua is blessed to have a sister like you."

At this moment, Du Xiaoyu said seriously, "However, regarding the contract, my wife, please don't agree to others. If someone else comes to intercede with my elder sister and talk about getting married, my wife must not accept it!"

Mrs. Wan is a smart person, so she naturally guessed that someone the Du family didn't like wanted to marry her, but the Du family didn't want to lose face and wanted to use her as a bad face, so they couldn't help pointing at Du Xiaoyu. But with a smile on his face.

Du Xiaoyu expressed his heartfelt thanks again before leaving.

In this way, you won't be afraid of what the Bai family will do first!

When the two walked out of the garden, Zhang Zhuoyu said with a smile, "I'm going to the academy too, let's go together."

Du Xiaoyu took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the affairs of the academy, and there were quite a lot of anecdotes, about the eccentricities of the master, some who played truant and were beaten by the master to make trouble, and there was a recent suspension of the academy, saying that half of the wall collapsed, and the county The Lord wrote to request the expansion of the academy, and Shangfeng has already approved it, and construction will start soon.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the entrance of the side hall. Du Xian saw the two people walking out side by side, with a smile on his face, and asked again, "Is Huang Hua busy? Hey, if I knew it, I would go and have a look. You always learn like this, don't you?" Collapsed."

"I'm just tired. I'm resting now. Dad will come to see her next time." Du Xiaoyu said, "It's getting late, let's go back now."

Du Xian greeted Zhang Zhuoyu, "Young Master Zhang, come to our village to play next time!"

"I'll definitely come when I'm free." Zhang Zhuoyu nodded and smiled.

"Our family raises crabs themselves, and they will be fat in autumn, so you can eat enough."

Du Xiaoyu twitched the corner of his mouth, why is his father so industrious, does Wan Fu have anything to eat, and he just came back to experience the fun of catching crabs, so he pushed Du Xian away immediately.

Back home, she talked about Master Wan's gift of honeysuckle seeds. Mrs. Zhao and Du Xian were very happy, and Du Xian went out to buy fields for her the next day.

It took a few days to find a family willing to sell the land. The family wanted to move to the county. The family opened a carpenter's shop to make some small furniture for people. They also made enough money and didn't want to farm anymore. A little high, saying that the field of his family is a top-grade fertile field, and it will sell for six taels of silver per mu.

The location is good, just across a small road from their ten acres of land. Unfortunately, they are acquaintances on weekdays and have no contacts, so it is difficult to lower the price.

"Would you like to look for two more?" Mrs. Zhao also felt that it was expensive. The fields he bought in the past were all five taels per mu, and he was really reluctant to pay an extra tael of silver.

But this place is good, and Du Xiaoyu likes it very much. One acre of it is for planting herbs. Since it is the first time planting, it is inevitable to take care of it from time to time. It is really inconvenient if it is far away. She thought for a while and said, " How many acres of good land does their family have to sell?"

"Five acres." Du Xian looked at her, "Don't you want to buy them all?"

"I'll buy it sooner or later anyway, won't I?" Du Xiaoyu chuckled, "The silver won't make any money, so it's better to use it up, otherwise it will be a disaster if you encounter a government servant who dares to grab the money again! Uncle Lin is not always there."

"That's right, I was lucky to have you, Uncle Lin last time!" Du Xian also laughed, "Our family and your Uncle Lin are still very close, you see, you were rescued by Uncle Lin when he fell into the water, if he can Just settle down in our village."

"Yes, yes." Du Xiaoyu strongly agreed. It would be much more convenient to have a bodyguard like Lin Song, but I don't know how powerful he is.

Hearing the father and daughter praise Linsong, Zhao's face sank like the bottom of a pot, and he slapped the bowl in his hand on the table, spilling the contents all over the table.

Then she turned and left.

The other two immediately froze, and Du Xian called out behind him, "Lady, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Zhao turned a deaf ear and walked out.

Du Xiaoyu raised her hand and touched the center of her eyebrows. Recently, her mother's reaction was very strange. She always lost her temper inexplicably, and she also lost her temper without even giving a reason.

Like this time, is it her fault for wanting to buy an expensive field, or is it her fault for using the money?I really don't understand!

But Mr. Tian wanted to buy it. Mrs. Zhao had said earlier that she would not care about the money, so no one would care how she used it.

"Father, I want all the five acres of land. I asked their family if they would sell it for 27 taels. If they really don't sell it, they can add another tael at most. If they don't sell it, they will be pulled down."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask tomorrow." Du Xian hurriedly stood up, "I have to go after your mother, I'm angry again, hey!"

"Well, then I'll go prepare lunch, daddy coaxing mother well." She smiled and went to the kitchen.

Mrs. Zhao's strange temper these days comes and goes quickly, look, she will feel guilty and come back after a while, it's really a headache!
