Twenty-nine, to play the son-in-law again
After the nude painting storm ended, Zhou Xuan went to feed the "young general Zhang Bao". This is a money tree and a great hero. However, it would be difficult to win three thousand taels of silver. It is impossible for a fool like Fatty Wu to be a common one. Thanks to his righteous brother Lin Heishan, otherwise Fatty Wu would have to rely on the debt. Ancient society was not so easy to do, and it would be impossible without a strong helper.
Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong squatted beside Zhou Xuan, listening to Zhou Xuan tell them about the habits of crickets, how to catch and feed them, and nodded while listening. They like to play with crickets, so they naturally understand them quickly.
During breakfast, Mrs. Qin said to Zhou Xuan: "Your son-in-law, your sister is from Mufu Village 30 miles outside the east gate. It's a pity that your parents died early and their brother passed away. She wanted to go back to the village to see her and pay a visit to the graves of her parents and brothers. Your father-in-law has official duties, so she has to ask her son-in-law to accompany her."
Zhou Xuan naturally agreed immediately. He remembered that his brother Lin Heishan said he was coming to him to drink today, so he asked his mother-in-law to ask his servants to pay attention. If his brother came to him, he would avenge him on his behalf, and he would say that he would go to him as soon as he came back.
Since it is more than 60 miles away, we have to set off quickly. Zhou Xuan asked Laifu to rent a carriage. Nowadays, it is really inconvenient to have no car. Now that financial conditions allow, we have to consider buying a car by ourselves.
Lai Fu is quite capable. He called a single-wheeled carriage in a quarter of an hour and rented a horse as Zhou Xuan ordered. Zhou Xuan had to learn how to ride a horse. This kind of horse used for rent had a good temper, but if you want it to run very fast, you can't imagine it. It's most suitable to learn to ride.
Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong were both from Shaoyang Village near Mufu Village. Tang Xiaosan had not been home for several days. Zhou Xuan asked Tang Xiaosan to accompany him to Mufu Village and go home to see him. Hu Tong stayed here to take care of the "young general Zhang Bao".
Tang Xiaosan asked Hu Tong if he wanted to hand over the twenty silver given to Mr. Zhou yesterday to him. Hu Tong refused and said he would hand it over to his father himself.
Zhou Xuan laughed and he understood Hu Tong's feelings. It was a sense of accomplishment and pride, which was equivalent to returning home in glory. Of course, he had to bring his own money back.
Zhou Xuan rode an old horse, Tang Xiaosan helped him pull the reins, Su Renjian sat in the carriage, Lai Fu sat next to the driver, and the group left the east gate of Jiangzhou City.
Zhou Xuan had a flexible mind and agile body. The horse under his crotch was relatively honest. After riding it, he had initially mastered the skills of riding. He asked Tang Xiaosan to sit on the shaft of the car and speed up his progress.
In early autumn, the seedlings in the second season were just planted, and the fields were green. The sun was not too strong in the morning, and the breeze was coming, making people think it was spring.
When Zhou Xuan left the east gate, he saw a vendor selling fresh dates and pears by the city gate. He bought five or six kilograms of them, washed them in the moat and asked everyone to eat them. He specially picked a few thin-skinned and watery pears and a handful of dates and handed them to Su Renzhen in the carriage.
After leaving the city twenty miles and entering the Mufu Mountains, the road is not that easy to walk. It is rugged, the carriage is bumpy, and the carriage is "bang bang".
Su Renzhen lifted the curtain and said to Zhou Xuan: "Brother-in-law Zhou, this car makes me dizzy, I want to get down and walk."
Before the sewing needle, they were called Zhou Xuan "June Zhou", which made me call my brother-in-law, maybe because there was an outsider here.
Zhou Xuan jumped off the horse, asked the coachman to stop, stretched his right arm so that the sewing needle could get off the car. These were all very natural actions, which originated from his modern human consciousness, and he did not think that men and women would not be able to get along with each other.
As soon as the sewing needle hesitated, he gently supported Zhou Xuan's arm and jumped out of the car. The women in Nantang were not yet popular with foot binding, so they were not so weak.
Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Renting, come and ride a horse. This horse is very stable and will not move violently."
Sewing Needle said: "You ride and I can just walk."
Tang Xiaosan and Lai Fu came down together to walk with Zhou Xuan and Ernin. The coachman drove the empty car slowly.
I walked about two miles. Although the sewing needle is not a small foot, I have been a little bit of a spoiled in the palace in the past three years. This mountain road is not easy to walk, so I can't keep up with Zhou Xuan and the others.
A mountain wind blew, and the trees on both sides of the road were whistling, and yellow and gray clouds gathered in the sky, as if the sky was about to change.
Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Sewing Needle, it doesn't matter if you can't ride it. I'll pull the reins so I can walk faster. You see, it may rain this day."
Zhou Xuan led the horse to a big stone, let the sewing needle stand on the stone first, then hold her hand, and let her step on the kickstick and spread her legs on the horse.
The moment the corner of the skirt fluttered up and down, Zhou Xuan saw a piece of thigh that was exposed on the top of the sewing needle's "tibia". It was white and round.
Zhou Xuan was stunned. He put on the trousers to ride a horse today. The sewing needle does not have that kind of trousers. Is this, this, riding a horse with bare ass?
"Brother-in-law, let's go." Seenzi held An Jian tightly with both hands. He was a little scared and excited when he rode a horse for the first time.
Zhou Xuan shook his head, trying to get rid of this erotic idea, and walked forward with the reins. From time to time, he turned around and glanced at Su Renzi sitting on the back of the horse, and the idea of riding a horse with bare butt was lingering.
After walking for three or four miles, Tang Xiaosan pointed to a fork on the left and said, "Mr. Zhou, from here we are our Shaoyang Village. The young master and Miss Su both went to the mistress's house to rest for a while, right?"
Zhou Xuan asked: "Is Sister Len Needle tired? Do you need to take a rest?"
Ernr shook his head and said, "I'm in a hurry to visit my parents' grave."
Zhou Xuan said, "Miss, you go back first, at 11:30 - it's time to wait for us here at noon and go back to the city together."
Tang Xiaosan agreed and rushed to the fork in the road. The carriage could no longer enter, so he stopped here and waited. Zhou Xuan, Renzi and Lai Fu continued on his way.
Mufu Village is a small mountain village with two or thirty families scattered in the valley. Few outsiders come to the mountain village. When they see Zhou Xuan and the others, the old and young people in the village gather around them.
The sewing needle lifted up the veil covering the face, calling out to this uncle and that uncle one by one, bursting into tears.
When the villagers saw that the ernel had returned, the ernel was the most beautiful woman in their village. She was selected into the palace three years ago. The villagers proudly said that the ernel was promising this time and was going to be the imperial concubine. Unfortunately, there was no news for three years. My father and brother died one after another, and my sister-in-law remarried and sold three thatched cottages to neighbors at a low price.
A village woman was quite rash and pointed at Zhou Xuan who was leading a horse and asked: "Sewing needle, is this your husband? He is a good talent."
Zhou Xuan was about to explain that the needle leaned over his shoulder from the horse's back and patted him gently. Chuchu's pitiful eyes revealed her begging, Zhou Xuan shut up and smiled at everyone, expressing his consent, thinking: "What do you mean, I want me to pretend to be a son-in-law again? Well, too, I have been a palace maid for three years and have nothing to come back. It's too miserable and shameless. I asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend, saying that she has a home so that these fellow villagers will not be filled with sympathy and will be pitiful."
Renzi asked: "Dear uncles and aunts, are my father and brother buried with my mother?" Renzi's mother died before Renzi entered the palace.
The villagers nodded one after another and said they were in the back mountain.
Zhou Xuan tied the horse to the miscellaneous trees at the foot of the mountain and accompanied the Needle up the mountain. Lai Fu followed behind with incense, candles and paper money. Seeing that his elder brother-in-law encountered a difficult road, he would occasionally help the Needle. Lai Fu was secretly happy behind him. The servant and his mistress coincided with him. Zhou Xuan, the son-in-law of the Qin family, was determined and could not marry the second lady of his direct line, so he would marry Miss Moe.
Three tombs were built next to each other, and they were all sloppy. Su Renzhen fell to the ground crying. Zhou Xuan was also sad when he thought of his parents and brother a thousand years later. He immediately bowed a few times.
After worship, Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Ernest, don't be sad, go back, I will accompany you here next Qingming Festival, find a few craftsmen to repair the grave and erect a better tombstone."
Su Renzi suddenly looked up and looked at Zhou Xuan with his swollen eyes.
