She hadn't heard any news before, but Chu Yunli felt very happy when she heard the news.
Father Zhou was very happy about Chu Yunli's arrival and went out to welcome her. When he saw the food box in her hand, he was relieved and asked worriedly, "Why did you go out? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Chu Yunli could feel his worry and couldn't help but smile, "Dad, I'm fine."
Chu Yunli followed him in and saw the account book on the table at a glance, "Dad, are you doing the accounting?"
Father Zhou nodded, "I just bought a batch of medicinal materials, enough to last for more than half a year. Let me check the account."
Chu Yunli took out the roast chicken and wine on the small table nearby, "Dad, eat it while it's hot."
Zhou's father happily sat over and said, "I just wanted someone to buy me one, so you brought it to me. As expected, my daughter is considerate."
After hearing this, Chu Yunli felt a dull pain in her heart. The man in front of him who doted on his daughter didn't know that her daughter would attract evil wolves and kill him, and even cut off the Zhou family lineage.
Even though Zhou's father only had her daughter and was unwilling to marry again, people nowadays still value family inheritance very much. That's why Zhou's father asked her to marry her and give birth to a child with the surname Zhou.
Chu Yunli felt uncomfortable and said apologetically, "Dad, I was willful before, but from now on I will listen to you."
Father Zhou shook his head with a smile, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Chu Yunli was curious, "Dad, just now I heard from the shopkeeper that you asked Qiu Yan to go back to get married. Has her marriage been decided yet?"
"It's settled. The youngest son of Huanxi Winery is eighteen this year. He has a good appearance and a good temperament." He sighed, "Her mother has a very good relationship with your mother. We send her out of the cabinet, which can be regarded as an explanation to your mother.
As for her temperament... When a daughter's family is older, it's normal for her to be attracted to men. Just wait until she gets married. If she knows how to behave in the future, you can continue to interact with her. If she still can't figure it out, our family will leave her alone.
Already."
Father Zhou paused, "As for your marriage..."
It’s a marriage!
Chu Yunli suddenly became nervous. She had no intention of finding anyone to live with. She said before that everything would be arranged by Zhou's father, but she never thought it would happen so soon. However, she is already fifteen this year. According to common sense, just one or two
You have to get married in the next year.
Seeing the conflict on her face, Zhou's father smiled and said, "You have just broken off the engagement. Don't be anxious when discussing the engagement. Please take your time."
I don't know if Zhou's father meant what he said, or if he changed his mind when he saw her contradicting him. In any case, Chu Yunli felt relieved.
It's not that she was afraid, she just felt that she was in a hurry. She had only been here for less than ten days. Besides, she had more important things to do. The Zhou family's crisis was not over yet. Although she got rid of Wu Ming, Shen Qiuyan still
Here. Before this, she was nervous, "Dad, just now in the restaurant Wu Ming asked me for a betrothal gift, but I pushed him away. During the argument, the Wen family girl kept talking to him. Wu Ming may not wait long.
The good news about the Wen family has spread."
After hearing this, Zhou's father looked carefully at Chu Yunli's expression and saw that there was peace between her brows and eyes, with no jealousy or anxiety, and he was no longer anxious. "The girl from the Wen family who originally made the marriage arrangement is Mrs. Wen's natal nephew."
The Wen family's cloth shop is quite big in the county town." At this point, he looked speechless and said after a while, "Miss Wen's appearance took after her mother's, and Mrs. Wen's nephew's appearance also..."
Chu Yunli was dumbfounded and looked at Wu Ming's bright eyes with warmth and wisdom. She probably didn't like her cousin. But this was someone else's business after all. She didn't bother to think about it and said, "Dad, if you go out
You must tell me when you are far away."
Although Wu Ming is no longer the son-in-law of the Zhou family, it does not mean that he will not take action against Zhou's father.
Father Zhou laughed and pointed at a pile of account books over there, "I just got the medicinal materials. It will take more than half a year to go to the county seat. It's not that fast."
There was a stack of account books on the table. Chu Yunli didn't quite recognize the character Qi Guo, so she couldn't help him. After Zhou's father finished eating, she picked up the food box and stood up to leave.
Huanxi Town is divided into East Street and West Street. West Street sells farm tools and meat dishes. There are many people setting up stalls on the street. The restaurants and Zhoufu Rouge Shop are located on the East Street. Chu Yunli doesn’t want to go to West Street for the time being.
I wanted to join in the fun, so I planned to go home.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, there was a young man dressed in commoner clothes who was talking to the housekeeper at the concierge. He didn't look like a servant of the house. When he saw Chu Yunli getting off the carriage, the housekeeper came over in a few steps and said, "The girl is back?"
Chu Yunli nodded, "Who is that person?"
The housekeeper explained, "It was a hunter who lives in the mountains. He brought the pheasants and asked if the government wanted to collect them."
Chu Yunli's eyes lit up, "Take it."
The housekeeper couldn't help but smile, "I did accept it. Since the girl likes it, I will give him some more money and ask him to send more in the future." He then said apologetically, "Girl, the boy in the family was quick to talk, please don't be angry. I
He has already been punished to go to the woodshed to chop firewood. If he doesn't spend three to five years to realize his mistake, I won't let him out."
The housekeeper was taken in by Zhou's father during the famine years when he was a child. He was only a few years old when he came. He and Zhou's father had grown up together, and their relationship was extraordinary. However, he also knew how to behave, otherwise he would not be able to be the housekeeper of Zhou's house.
Anyone who has anything to do with Shen Qiuyan will be punished severely.
When Chu Yunli came in, she passed by the hunter who had brought the pheasants. At first glance, she looked young, with stern eyebrows and tall posture. When she was about to pass by, he saluted her and said, "Girl, I'm kind-hearted. I think I borrowed this money."
, I will definitely pay it back in the future.”
With a cautious expression and a sincere tone, Chu Yunli found it funny. The housekeeper rewarded him with this silver. It was only two taels of silver. As far as she knew, two taels of silver was nothing to the people behind East Street. Most people
If you just take it and leave, how can you sincerely thank me?
She became interested and asked curiously, "Are you short of money?" As soon as she spoke, she realized that the person in front of her was so tall, a head taller than her.
The man was stunned and said in a low voice, "My elder in the family is seriously ill and urgently needs money to buy medicine." Perhaps his voice was too low, which made people feel sad for no reason.
Chu Yunli looked him up and down, and saw that there was a slit between the elbows of his clothes. It could be seen that he had been washed clean. The original dark blue cloth had been washed white. He wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly he saw Shen Qiuyan at the arch in front of him.
He hurried over with his maid, suddenly a little irritable, and told Chunyu, "Give him ten taels of silver and treat it as a loan from him."
After saying that, he nodded casually to the man and entered the door, avoiding the place where Shen Qiuyan came from, and returned to the yard from the other side.
Even so, she still couldn't avoid it. Shen Qiuyan and her people hurriedly chased after her, "Xuan'er, I have something to tell you."
Chu Yunli stopped helplessly. In fact, she had something she forgot to tell her father Zhou today, which was to ask Shen Qiuyan to get married as soon as possible.
"Say." Chu Yunli did not hide her impatience and did not stop.
Shen Qiuyan was thin and Chu Yunli walked very fast. If she wanted to catch up, she had to speed up her pace and was a little out of breath. "Today I saw Mr. Wu and Miss Wen at Buzhuang. Mr. Wu also brought two horses with him when he left. Satin. ”
Chu Yunli frowned, "Do you think these things have anything to do with me?"
Shen Qiuyan looked puzzled, "Of course, Miss Wen is so shameless. Everyone knows about Mr. Wu's previous relationship with you, and she still..."
"We have nothing to do with each other anymore." Chu Yunli looked at Shen Qiuyan's blushing cheeks because of tiredness and said maliciously, "In the future, our family will never have contact with the Wu family. They are like strangers. He can no longer enter." The door of the Zhou Mansion...I heard that dad has arranged a good marriage for you, so you’d better get ready for the wedding!"
Shen Qiuyan turned pale, bit her lip and said, "I don't want to get married!"
"Oh?" Chu Yunli asked with a sneer, "Then who do you want to marry? It won't be Wu Ming, right? You told me before that there is no relationship between the two of you."
Shen Qiuyan's face turned green and white, "I won't marry anyway!"
Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously, "The craftsmanship of Tianjia's winemaking has been passed down from generation to generation. There are people in the county who specially ask people to come here to bring it. If you are not willing to marry into the Tianjia, there are many people who are willing. If you are not willing, tell dad earlier. Don't Let him offend you for nothing. Anyway, you must leave the Zhou family within two months."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Shen Qiuyan's unwilling voice came from behind, "Xuan'er, are you so free and easy, letting go as soon as you say let go?"
Chu Yunli said directly, "Is it true that all my things are very good, including men, and you want everything I have? Just because this man is hooking up with you behind my back, I have nothing to remember."
Without breaking up, Shen Qiuyan thought she was so smart, but she never doubted it because the two grew up together and had a good relationship. Furthermore, although Wu Ming didn't like her, he was willing to deal with her. , and make an affectionate look.
That day, he pushed her in a hurry and showed his face for the first time.
Shen Qiuyan was completely speechless, and Chu Yunli sneered, "From today on, I don't want to see you again. You can't stay in the courtyard either. You have to wait two months to get married, or you can leave the Zhou Mansion by yourself. This depends on In my mother’s face.”
Shen Qiuyan took a step back, a little afraid of Zhou Mingxuan like this, and did not dare to speak anymore.
Chun Yu chased after her from behind, helped Chu Yunli walk into the yard, and whispered, "The man said his surname was Feng and that he would come to thank the girl in person in the future, but the slave refused."
Chu Yunli listened casually and didn't say anything. She was just helping. She didn't think the two of them would interact in the future.
Two days later, news came out that because the Wen family did not want Wen Hui to break off the engagement, the girl threatened that she would not marry anyone who was not the king. It had been two days since the water or rice came in. The Wen family covered up the news. The reason why it came out was, It's because Wen Hui fainted today and asked a doctor.
These words were vaguely familiar, and Chu Yunli couldn't laugh or cry after hearing them. This rumor... except that the person involved had changed, the original marriage between Zhou Mingxuan and Wu Ming also came about this way.
But the result was different. When Zhou Mingxuan was hungry for most of the day, Zhou's father went to Wu Mingyi to get married. No one else knew about it, and the news would spread, mostly from the women in Sannan Village.
