A luxurious carriage drove slowly towards the town.
When passing by the big locust tree, a pleasant sound came out.
"Pause!"
The carriage stopped.
The curtain of the car window was slowly opened, revealing a delicate and mature face.
"What happened over there?"
Zhou Mingzhu was a little confused and looked towards the big locust tree.
At this moment, many small town residents gathered at the big locust tree.
Although the Big Sophora Tree has always been a place frequented by small town residents, especially in summer, it is a good place for many people to escape the heat and chat.
Even when Zhou Mingzhu was a child, she often came to play in the big locust tree.
But despite this, it was the first time for her to see so many people.
"Ali, go see what's going on!"
"Yes, miss!"
The person who spoke was the driver of the carriage.
The driver was a burly man in his thirties. The burly man looked honest and honest. He immediately went to the big locust tree to inquire about the situation, and then ran back to report.
"Miss, I heard from the town residents that an old beggar was telling some weird stories!"
"I see, then let's go back!"
Zhou Mingzhu said softly and slowly lowered the curtain.
The coachman responded and immediately drove the carriage to Zhou's house.
Zhou Mingzhu came back this time because Zhou Mingzhu's second brother sent her a message saying that her mother was dying and asked Zhou Mingzhu to come back quickly to see her one last time. If it was too late, she would not be able to see anyone.
In fact, how could Zhou Mingzhu not know that this was deliberately made up by her mother in order to let her go home.
The purpose!
Zhou Mingzhu smiled.
Soon, the luxurious carriage stopped in front of a mansion. The plaque on the door of this mansion read "Zhou Mansion!" with dragons and phoenixes dancing in it.
There are also two majestic stone lions placed on both sides of the gate of the mansion.
At this moment, a little girl was sitting on the stone lion playing there.
"Grandma, aunt is back!"
As soon as she saw Zhou Mingzhu getting off the carriage, the little girl jumped down from the stone lion with joy.
He turned around and ran towards the mansion, and shouted, his voice loud and clear, like thunder in the quiet mansion.
Then, the little girl ran out again, immediately threw herself into Zhou Mingzhu's arms, and said in a sweet voice: "Auntie, did you miss me?"
"I think about it, I think about it every day~!" Zhou Mingzhu couldn't help but laugh.
"Mom, slow down!"
Suddenly, a man's urgent voice came from the mansion.
Immediately afterwards, an old woman ran out followed by several servants.
"Mom, aren't you sick?"
Zhou Mingzhu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Her mother was so energetic, but she didn't look like she was terminally ill. She might even be able to kill a few tigers.
"If I hadn't told your second brother to say this, you damn girl would have been afraid of my death and wouldn't have wanted to come back!" Although Grandma Zhou's mouth was full of accusations, her eyes were full of joy.
"Mom, how can you curse yourself? Mom is so young, she will definitely live a long life in the future. No, it's about longevity and health!"
When it comes to living a long life, Zhou Mingzhu immediately realized that this was wrong.
This was a good thing to say to other people, but when it was said to her mother, it was a bit of a curse on her mother, so she immediately changed her words.
"You are the only one with a poor mouth!"
Grandma Zhou is in a good mood.
After all, the precious girl I have always loved is back.
"Mom, my little sister has come all the way back, so let's go into the house and talk!" Brother Zhou Mingzhu reminded from the side.
Grandma Zhou originally wanted to say something to Zhou Mingzhu, but when she heard this, she knew it was right, so she hurriedly pulled Zhou Mingzhu into the lobby to talk.
…
Come to the lobby.
Zhou Mingzhu looked at her second brother with a smile, "Second brother, have you ever thought about giving me another nephew this year?"
Zhou Mingzhu's second brother coughed dryly, "Don't talk nonsense, your second sister-in-law and I are already grandparents, how can I be your nephew?"
"Oh, is that so? Xiaowei, do you want a younger brother or sister?" Zhou Mingzhu looked at the little niece in her arms with a smile.
"I want to!" the little niece said innocently.
Brother Zhou Mingzhu was even more embarrassed.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked Song Leizi for any prescription.
"Stop teasing your second brother. If you want children, quickly find a man and have as many children as you want!" Grandma Zhou said with a cheerful smile.
"Where's dad?" Zhou Mingzhu quickly changed the subject.
"Don't mind him, he's listening to stories at the big locust tree!" Grandma Zhou waved her hand and said casually.
Zhou Mingzhu passed by the big locust tree and saw many people listening to stories there. She thought her father was there, but she didn't pay attention.
"Little sister, you don't know that at this point, many people in the town will go to the big locust tree to listen to stories. Even I will go there to listen to stories when I have nothing to do!" Brother Zhou Mingzhu laughed.
"The story told by the old beggar is very exciting?" Zhou Mingzhu was a little curious.
"There are some wonderful things, but most of them are anecdotes, many of which I have never heard of!"
Brother Zhou Mingzhu immediately told the old beggar's strange story with great interest.
But the second brother Zhou Mingzhu was talking with gusto, but Zhou Mingzhu frowned, as if thinking about something.
"A blind old beggar, can he still tell some strange stories? Why does this look so much like those hermit masters in novels who give props to the protagonist from time to time?"
Zhou Mingzhu muttered in her heart.
"Why are you telling your sister these things!"
Grandma Zhou wanted to kick this stupid son out, so she interrupted impatiently.
"Mom, little sister, I have something else to do, you guys can talk!"
Brother Zhou Mingzhu suddenly thought of something, said something with a smile, and quickly picked up his little girl.
"No, second brother, why did you take Xiaowei away if you have something to do?" Zhou Mingzhu wanted to say something else, but she saw the second brother holding his daughter and running away.
Wait until the second brother and his daughter leave.
Grandma Zhou picked up the tea on the side and took a sip, "Mingzhu, my mother has found several marriages for you this time. Go and have a look, and the matter will be settled according to your wishes!"
Zhou Mingzhu felt helpless. She knew her mother would say this, "Mom, didn't I say I won't marry? Why are you still here!"
"There's no woman who won't marry, Mingzhu. Mom knows that because of your surname Liu, you think all men in the world are bad, but you can't beat a group of people to death with one stick. There are bad ones and good ones in the world.
.”
"Look at the mayor, and then look at the men in our town, who is not a good husband who loves his wife!" Grandma Zhou persuaded her earnestly.
"Mom, I know everything you said, but I really don't want to get married. I think I'm pretty good now!" Zhou Mingzhu said helplessly.
"You feel pretty good now, but what will happen when you get old? Who will provide for you in old age?" Grandma Zhou wanted to persuade her again.
"If we don't have brothers and nephews, how can they still starve my sister and aunt?" Zhou Mingzhu said without caring.
"you..."
Grandma Zhou sighed, "Mingzhu, I'm not saying that your brother and nephews are not good, but people will be resented when they get older. They don't dislike you now, but who can know in the future? Only their own children will give it to you.
Retirement and death!”
Zhou Mingzhu disagreed, "Mom, I don't like to hear what you are saying. Our town only knows the etiquette of respecting the elderly and caring for the young because of the academy. Go and take a look outside. There are a lot of unfilial children who do not support them."
parents!"
Grandma Zhou was so blocked that she was speechless.
"I can't help you, but you have to go to the marriages I arranged for you, otherwise you won't even think about going out. And tomorrow, you come with me to the Song family. The child of the Song family has recently
We are also on a blind date. You and he are similar in age and know each other well, so it would be best!"
Zhou Mingzhu was stunned.
That child from the Song family?
Could it be Song Xiaochun?
After all, Song Xiaochun was the only one in the town who was similar to her in age and was not yet married.
