The Beautiful Land

On the second day of the new year, as agreed with Yu Kedi, Xi Fuwei took the four-color cakes to his house and met Yu Kedi's mother Cheng.

Cheng's age is actually only in his thirties, but Xu is a young widow, his family is poor, and his heart is depressed for many years. It seems that he is much older than his actual age.

She was very kind to Xi Fuwei, but she declined the confession of her righteous daughter, saying: "The girl is very promising at first sight. How can I be a mother to a girl like me? Don't bring tired girls."

When Xi Fuwei heard the words, she looked at Yu Kedi. Yu Kedi accompanied her with a smile, and led her to the side to explain: "My mother really thinks that way. She always feels that her life is not good, so my father The meeting is gone early. No, when I told her about the confession, she asked you that there was no one in your family. She also said that everyone is a poor person, and it’s okay to be a company. I’ll see you look good now, this Isn't it just getting panic again, for fear that it will drag you back?"

"I still have a bright future. Haven't I heard of a confidant?" Xi Fuwei was very speechless to him, "You vowed to say that there was no problem with this matter. Our colleagues and adults almost all know it. As a result, I came here. , It won't be... You said how embarrassed I should be when I go back?"

Yu Kedi was also embarrassed: "I will persuade my mother again."

However, Cheng's attitude was very determined. Yu Kedi didn't let go of her for a long time, and quietly scolded her son for being stupid, "This girl has a handsome appearance, and it is said that she has some family background in her hands, and she looks like you are at home! There are no more people, you can put your mind on your husband's family... It's rare for you to be close to her, and you don't want to turn someone into a daughter-in-law, but let me recognize a righteous daughter. How did your mind grow?"

Yu Kedi explained: "I and her are just colleagues. They said that they are close because they often meet in front of adults. As for the personal relationship, there is no personal affair. Moreover, this girl has many thoughts and is not very virtuous. You count on her. After entering the door, it is impossible to be a good wife and a good mother to serve you. It is basically impossible! It is better to recognize a righteous daughter and take care of each other."

"No matter how hard you are, you have become a relative, you have a child, what else can you think of besides turning around with your husband, son-in-law and children?" Cheng Shi disapproved, "Your father went early, our family is weak, you should now I'm talking about marriage, but I'm not a village girl who doesn't know a big character, or a spoiled little ancestor! How can she compare to this girl who is beautiful and talkative!"

Yu Kedi’s head road: "Don’t look at her talking now and think it’s a good bully! You didn’t see her pinching others, especially the prospective fiance, that’s really trying to step on to death. !"

"That's good, it means that she has no feelings for the prospective fiance, if I don't want it even if I don't want it." Cheng Shi patted the back of his son's hand, and said with great earnestness, "You have been waiting in front of an adult all this time, so I don't know. Your uncles heard that you are going to bring someone back to me as a righteous daughter. They asked me for my nephew in the morning! It can be seen that this girl is still a virtuous woman even if she has some scheming. In that case, you have brought people back. Why should it be cheaper for others?"

"That uncle told you that this girl is closely related to adults?" Yu Kedi reluctantly resorted to his assassin, "Do you tell me what should I do to make her recognize you as a foster mother? Just her person, even in the future Just be a concubine for an adult, and you will definitely be able to earn a place to stand in the back house. By that time, my son, and my position in front of the adult will become more stable?"

Cheng clan was shocked when he heard the words, so he refused to persuade his son to try to marry Xi Fuwei, and sighed: "It's my fate, and you can't even find a good marriage if you are tired."

Yu Kedi smiled and said: "Mother, don't keep saying that. If you tire your son, how can your son do things for the adults?"

After coaxing her mother for a while, seeing Cheng's face regained, she went to Xi Fuwei, who had been bored in the hall for a long time: "I have already said that, I will invite my uncle to be a witness."

"No need." During this period of time, Xi Fuwei thought about it but changed her mind and said, "Since Lingtang can't look down on me, you can barely make Tang because of your face, so I must have been wronged. Until now, I will treat you as if I came to pay a New Year greeting to your mother and son."

He stood up to say goodbye.

Yu Keditou Avenue: "Ancestor, stop making trouble? It's because I didn't do things well, my mother really doesn't dislike you."

"I know, I suddenly changed my mind." Xi Fuwei glanced at the inner room, took out two small ingots of silver and put them on the table, "I'm bothering you."

She previously agreed to recognize this stepmother, mainly to better integrate into the local brocade.

But the mother-in-law is also the mother, so it's fine if she doesn't recognize it. After she recognizes it, she can be suppressed by filial piety. If Cheng's promise was nothing, she would go along with the flow. At this time Cheng's refused. After repeated persuasion by Yu Kedi, she agreed. Xi Fuwei can't help but doubt that Cheng has no idea of ​​acknowledging a righteous woman. , But only agreed with the idea of ​​defeating the enemy and hitting his own money.

After all, in Xi Fuwei's mind, Yu Kedi was a greedy for money.

Although Xi Fuwei doesn't care about spending money to buy a family relationship, she still has to look at the price.

After thinking about this for a while, I felt that it was not worth it, so I naturally refused to agree.

Yu Kedi's persuasion was fruitless for a long time, so he could only let her leave.

After returning to the small courtyard, it was still early, and Shen Pilan was practicing in the courtyard. When she saw her passing by, she was a little surprised. She closed her posture and asked, "Why come back so early?"

"After all, I saw Madam Cheng for the first time, so I didn't dare to bother, so I came back." Xi Fuwei smiled, "I saw someone carrying a burden to sell sugar people on the road, so I bought a few, adults?"

As he said, he raised several sugar people in his hand.

"There are twists and turns in the matter of confessing the righteous woman?" Shen Tielan understood when she called Cheng's "Mrs. Cheng". He waved his hand and said that he was not interested in Sugar Man, and said, "Is Mrs. Cheng unwilling?"

"Yu Kedi persuaded her for a long time, and she agreed, but I thought that for the Chinese New Year, I still don't add to people's obstruction." Xi Fuwei smiled, "Adults don't eat sugar people, do people around you do it? If you want to, come and get it later."

After a salute, he left.

Although she was a little angry about this, she didn't take it very seriously.

In the next few days, the small courtyard became more lively because the guards brought their children to visit Shen Pilan.

Yu Kedi was not married and had no brothers or sisters. The widow at home was inconvenient to go out, so she came by herself, and was reprimanded by Shen Qianlan, saying that since he had not persuaded Chengshi, he should not admit righteousness first. The woman's story was said so that her colleague took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat, deliberately teasing Xi Fuwei.

I mistakenly thought that Xi Fuwei filed a complaint after coming back, and Yu Kedi did not dare to refute it. He only took advantage of other colleagues to come to visit Xi Fuwei and complained: "My mother agreed, you didn't agree. Why did you come to the adult and tell me that it was not mine? I was told by the adult just now."

"You should be careful when you speak. Don't charge people rashly." Xi Fuwei was guarding the charcoal basin and peeling oranges to eat, throwing the orange peels in the basin and burning the fragrance of the room, and said, "What can I do? I didn’t say anything! But when I came back that day, I ran into an adult. The adult asked a few words, can I not answer? At that time, I also said that your mother agreed, but I changed my mind. The adult thinks you are wrong, you are going to be wronged. Talk to an adult, what do you mean by running over to anger me? Do you think I'm a bully?"

"Grandma, this is my fault." Yu Kedi was robbed of her by her, and she was embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "I will apologize to you...It's my fault, it's all my fault, okay Don't be angry, I really didn't calculate what you meant."

He bowed and begged for mercy for a while, and finally opened Xi Fuwei's eyebrows and smiled, saying that he didn't mind, then he left, and said before leaving, "I brought you some food, all made by my mother. I put it in the kitchen. Now, I told the old servant over there, one for an adult, one for yours, wait a while and take a look!"

Xi Fuwei nodded: "I'll take a look later." She hadn't been empty-handed when she went to Yukedi's house before, and now she doesn't feel bad about holding these things.

At this time, someone in front came and shouted Yu Kedi, and Yu Kedi said: "Yomo, they have already paid homage to the adults, and I am leaving."

Xi Fuwei said: "It's cold, I won't send you off, go by yourself."

Who expected to leave before defeating the enemy, someone over there shouted, saying that it was looking for Xi Fuwei.

After she went out, she saw the old servant who was in front of Shen Lan, and she was very puzzled: "Look for me? Who is looking for me?"

I suddenly remembered Yao Zhuosu, but Yao Zhuosu should be resting in the countryside right now? Is it Yao?

"It's a young man, I said I met you old." The old servant looked a little weird and said, "Second young man also said that you know him, and he is serving tea right now."

"I'll go and check it out." Xi Fuwei knew what he said when she heard that, and she passed by and saw that it was Ouyang Yuanshui.

"Miss Shen, happy new year." Seeing her come in, Ouyang Yuanshui got up to greet him, smiled and said, "The girl is more and more pretty."

Xi Fuwei looked around and saw only a child serving tea. He said a few polite words to him, and said: "Why are you here? I remember you are not from Jining? Didn't you go back during the Chinese New Year?"

"There is no one left or right at home. The Zou Mansion treats me well, so I simply stayed for the New Year." Ouyang Yuanshui said, "I also think of your loneliness...Speaking of which, you have no conscience. I still count on you first. Go and see me, who knows to wait and wait, you'd rather stay in a daze in this little yard, and don't mean to go and look at me. What should I do? I have to come by myself."

Xi Fuwei laughed nonchalantly: "I'm not you, go see what you do?"

Ouyang Yuanshui said: "Well, does this mean I should give you a name?"

"What's wrong with being peaceful and peaceful for the Chinese New Year? Do you have to force me to teach you?" Xi Fuwei glanced at him, sent the boy out, and whispered, "Are you running over in idleness? Still have something to run over?"

Ouyang Yuanshui said: "For the Chinese New Year, you can't just follow my tone and say a few good words to coax me?"

"Your vision is still pretty good." Xi Fuwei said immediately, "Okay, I'm so obedient... You should also explain your intentions?"

"...You." Ouyang Yuanshui shook his head helplessly, and said, "Isn't this just receiving the news from Yingtianfu, and I feel a headache. Come over and discuss with you?"

Xi Fuwei wondered: "News from Ying Tianfu? I haven't heard from the adults yet! What is it?"

"Han King Zhao Wang, I'm going to work hard." Ouyang Yuanshui rarely put away the joking color, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice.
