Ask This Spring
Chapter 8:
Zhuo Lian walked slowly to the well, put the bluestone slab on both hands, trying to lift it up.
Seeing this, Huanmu, who was standing next to him, hurriedly stopped, "Ms. Lian don’t want to move, this bluestone is thick enough for a chopping board. When your father-in-law is still there, you will order four senior workers to lift the board every few months. Say you want to let the ground breathe in the courtyard, don't flash your waist."
Zhuo Lian was self-aware. Hearing this, he couldn't help letting go and stepped back.
She thinks this well is weird, but it's not easy to talk to Huanmu until the matter is found out. After all, if she guesses wrong, let her mother-in-law rejoice, I'm afraid it will make people more uncomfortable.
"Mother, I just brought the quilt over. I will clean up the two rooms and stay here at night." When speaking, Zhuo Lian's tone was a little low. When she thought of being alone with Huan Shen under the same roof, she She couldn't help frowning, but fortunately, the man didn't intend to kill her, and at best it was only a threat.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's slightly blue face, Huan's mother thought she was **** off by Aunt Lin, and she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Even if Lianniang was ignorant before, but now she is diligent and filial, how can she let others slander? If Aunt Lin dared to talk nonsense next time, she would have to use a broom to drive people out.
The Huan family in the past was considered a wealthy household in Bianzhou City. The wine shop occupies a large area and has many rooms for long-term workers. It is a pity that Huan’s mother does not know how to make wine, and the business is not as good as the day. These old people have already ran away. Some of them went to Zhuo's house, including Miao Ping, the former chief steward of the wine shop.
The original body often came to Huan’s house to play when he was young. He also knew a little about Miao Ping. He knew that this person had studied for a few years and would settle accounts. When he recites it, he must have been eaten in the belly of a beast long ago.
It's a pity that it's easy to forget your grudges.
Miao Ping climbed high sticks after Huan’s father passed away. Others could not say anything other than scolding him for having no conscience. After all, Huan’s mother could not support a wine shop, and the Huan’s brothers did not know how to make wine, so they continued to stay here. The talents are fools.
After cleaning the two adjacent rooms, Zhuo Lian began to make the bed, and while busying her, she wondered how to remove the slate from the well without disturbing Huanmu. It is definitely impossible to ask Uncle Fu for help. Uncle Fu is loyal to Huanmu and will definitely not lie to her.
For a while, Zhuo Lian didn't think about it. No matter how heavy the bluestone slab was, she couldn't hold the hammer. When everyone was gone after dark, it would not be too late for her to think about it.
The woman was planning pretty well, but unexpectedly, it started raining as soon as it was dark, crackling drops of water hit the eaves, and it was accompanied by lightning and thunder. I don’t know if Huan Shen will come. It’s best if he doesn’t come. Have to find ways to deal with him...
Suddenly, there was a bang outside the door, and Zhuo Lian's heart jumped. She hurriedly held up the oil paper umbrella and opened the back door of the wine shop. When she saw the drenched youth, she frowned and shouted:
"Quickly enter the house and change clothes, it won't be good if you catch a cold."
Zhuo Lian is not short in stature, but Huan Shen is too tall, more than eight feet tall. She can only straighten her arms hard and hold an umbrella to protect her from the rain. However, due to the heavy rain, she was also watered. Through, the cloth clung to the body tightly, bringing bursts of coolness. Finally walking down the corridor, she wiped her face with her hand and couldn't help saying: "Uncle, even if you don't trust me, you don't need to come here in the rain. If there is someone who has two shortcomings, who can afford this responsibility? "
Zhuo Lian's cheeks were pale with cold, but his lips were especially blushing. With those moist apricot eyes, it looked really pitiful.
However, Huan Shen was both wary and disgusted with her. Seeing the virtue of a woman, she felt that Zhuo Shi did it deliberately, and regarded him as a **** person who could not be on the stage like Yu Manna.
The young man ignored her, pursing his lips and turning his head away.
Zhuo Lian ignored Huan Shen, walked into the room, sat in front of the bronze mirror, took up a dry soft cloth and wiped the water stains on his head and face.
Speaking of it, although the original body has the same name and the same surname as her, their appearance is not very similar. Zhuo Lian’s facial features are more gorgeous, with dark and thick eyebrows, with a bit of heroism; while the original body’s face has no edges and corners, and is very beautiful. The figure is also somewhat plump. Two people who are clearly different, but because of the same name and surname are closely linked together, it is really mysterious.
The rain was getting heavier outside, Zhuo Lian changed his clothes, walked to the kitchen, took out a crucian carp from the tank, cleaned it, and fry it in a pot. Adding scallion and **** and other seasonings in turn, stewed it with hot water. Just when she turned around to cut the tofu into pieces, she saw Huan Shen standing at the door of the kitchen. He changed into an indigo-blue robe, his hair was still wet, and his eyes fell on her for a moment.
"My uncle is looking for me for something?"
Even if he knew the young man's thoughts, Zhuo Lian's attitude was still moderate. Since I hope that Huan Shen can completely get rid of prejudice, first of all, she must treat each other with sincerity. It is not advisable to lie or greet falsely. Huan Shen can climb to the position of Zhen Guo Gong in just ten years, and she will definitely not be fooled easily. .
"What is your relationship with Yu Man?"
Half an hour ago, Huan's mother returned home, called him and Yunniang to the main room, and asked the brothers and sisters not to be deceived by the rumors outside, mistakenly thinking that his sister-in-law was behaving badly.
But Zhuo Lian's private meeting with Yu Manchu was what he saw with his own eyes, and he couldn't do anything about it.
At that time, Yu Man took Zhuo’s hand and led people to the ruined temple. His eldest brother’s bones were not cold. The adulterer and the adulterer did such a nasty evil. If he hadn’t been on official business, he had to go to the official office. Going to guard in the surrounding towns has already broken the two men's adultery.
Now the mother obviously heard the wind, but she believed in Zhuo Shi, what kind of ecstasy did this woman give her?
"I did move my mind before, but now I have repented, and I have nothing to do with that person. Is this answer uncle satisfactory?"
Huan's mother was pure and kind, and she didn't know how to give birth to a suspicious son like Huan Shen. Zhuo Lian went down to the pot while tofu, and secretly slandered himself.
"In that case, you really have an affair with Yu Man? You are smart and get out in time. Yu's family is quite famous in Bianzhou. It is absolutely impossible for a second married woman to be a young grandmother. If you are willing to fall, I am willing to be a concubine, and I will not stop it."
Zhuo Lian turned his back to the youth and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, accompanied by rumbling thunder. Zhuo Lian was afraid that something was wrong with the warehouse, so he didn't care about cooking, so he rushed out and took a fire-folder and ran to the warehouse to check. There was no water leakage in the eaves. Where did the movement come from?
Full of doubts, she walked back and forth around the house holding the oil-paper umbrella, but she bumped into a hard object under her feet.
Zhuo Lian squatted down and carefully distinguished, and found that the bluestone slab covering the well was actually split. Fortunately, she was still thinking about how to smash the slab, but she didn’t expect that even God was helping. What is the water of this well? Whether suffering is sweet, whether it is good or bad, tomorrow will see the difference.
At dinner, the two of them drank fish head tofu soup with the steamed dry food in the morning, and no one spoke first.
Even if Huan Shen was very wary of Zhuo Lian, she had to admit that this woman's cooking skills were indeed better than her mother's. Although the taste of the food was not excellent, it was said to be salty and delicious.
The Lord Zhen Guo in the storybook was close to him, and Zhuo Lian was really not in a good mood when he thought of his method of dealing with the original body. Fortunately, Huan Shen will be on duty tomorrow, patrolling the city, and won't look at him with that gloomy gaze all day long.
The beautiful woman was sitting at the table with an ancient book about wine in her hand, but she was upset and couldn't read what was written in the book anyway.
The maid brought the red date tea to her and whispered, "Girl, you are here in Guishui. It is when you are weak. Don't worry about those little things."
"Small things? How could it be small things?" Zhuo Yujin's eyes were cold.
She didn't expect that she would have missed it. When she was not married in the past, this half-eldest sister was very disgusted with winemaking and never took the initiative to set foot in the wine shop. How could she have thought that she was married to the Huan family, and she was guarding it. Could it be that Wumingjing's uniqueness was discovered in that wine shop?
The more he thought about it, the more he was frustrated, Zhuo Yujin clenched fists with both hands, his nails stubbornly grabbing the soft flesh of his palm.
A figure walked in from outside and saw the lady, the maid hurriedly leaned over to salute, and then exited the bedroom.
"Why is Yujin worried? It's better to talk to your mother, maybe I can help you figure out a way." Fan Lan is Zhuo Yujin's biological mother and Zhuo Xiaotong's second wife. It's thirty-five this year. , But she is very well maintained, and she still looks like a twenty-seven beautiful woman.
In front of her biological mother, Zhuo Yujin didn't have to lie.
She took Fan Lan’s hand, and Peach Blossom’s eyes were full of grievances, and she choked up, “My daughter heard from her grandfather when she was a child that there is a well in the Huan’s family. That's a good virtue, but I don't have any precious treasures. It's better to sell the wine shop to Zhuo's family and let my daughter take care of it, so as not to be violent."
"You have also saved a lot of private money over the years, so you just bought the wine shop." Fan Lan took Jinpa to wipe her tears.
"Do you think I don't want to? My daughter asked the neighbor of the Huan family to make peace with the woman. Two hundred taels of silver is already a lot. Huan's mother was clearly moved, but Zhuolian had to stop her. With her mother-in-law, Huanmu didn’t let Huanmu sell the wine shop. I thought she didn’t think she had enough money, so she added a hundred li of silver, but she didn’t expect it. Do you think Zhuo Lian knows the effect of the Wuming Well that will hinder every possible way. ?"
Fan Lan came out of the general’s mansion anyway. Although she was a concubine, she had a much higher vision than Zhuo Yujin. She sighed and said, “Silly girl, if you don’t increase the price, Zhuo Lian probably won’t even think about it. If you acted so eagerly, she would definitely be able to detect something wrong, either sitting on the floor and raising the price, or she refused to die."
Hearing this, Zhuo Yujin had tears in her eyes and asked, "What should the daughter do? Wumingjing is really important."
"Yujin, don't worry, I will call Zhuo Lian over tomorrow, and she will have her own way."
