It was raining in winter, and it was almost a proper death. The servants and maids who were surrounded by them saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly dragged the boys and girls into the house. Originally, the family members of the Lou family were not sure, but after hearing the enthusiastic confession of their little son in the courtyard, they were very familiar with the package and sent Lou Yao and the little lady of the Cheng family to the county government. They also witnessed the scene. The escort of the Cheng family, the maidservant, would not refuse.

That evening, Mrs. Sang, who was checking accounts in the backyard of the county government office, received two big gift bags, one for his little niece, who was soaked all over and showed signs of cold, and Mr. Lou in Hedong, who was soaked but showed no signs of cold. One little boy.

After bathing and changing clothes, Shaoshang fell ill without any accident. He was dizzy, his face was hot and his nose was running. On the other hand, Young Master Lou, who had traveled long distances in a row, was in good health and spirit. After drinking three bowls of ginger soup, he didn't even sneeze. He looked around for a long time and couldn't see Shao Shang, and shyly asked if the whole family would eat dinner together.

Sang Shi replied with a smile: You and I, Uncle Cheng Shishu, will accompany you to have dinner with you. I am not surprised or surprised.

Before dinner was over, Cheng Zhi and his wife asked Mr. Lou thoroughly inside and out.

Sang shi brooded on his elbows, looking up and down Louyao from time to time.

Cheng Zhi put on his old father-in-law's critical face again, and raised his voice: "You know where we are going, since we are near Linjun and I heard that there is chaos in Dongjun, why don't you hurry to see Shaoshang?"

Lou Yao was frightened again and again. He waved his hand: "No, no, my uncle misunderstood me. Before the accident in Dongjun, my father sent me back to the capital, saying that he would consider this marriage carefully, and then I slowly rode back. Half a month ago, I was only able to see the gate of the capital. I heard that Fan Ni, the prefect of Dongjun County, was in trouble, I, I quickly turned around and came to find you! A few days ago, I ran into my old servants on the official road, saying that my father had promised to get married, and they were the father who sent back to the capital to send a letter to my mother. Yes!"

Cheng Zhi pouted, 20% satisfied.

As a responsible and arrogant guardian, Cheng Zhi wanted to send Lou Yao back to Shanyang County or the capital the next day, but when Lou Yao heard that Shaoshang was ill and was bedridden, he refused to leave anyway. Anyway, the Lou family had money, so he thought Live in a mansion in the county town.

Cheng Zhi's head was as big as a bucket when he heard it, and he hurriedly dragged the young master of the building into the wing of the county yahou's house and settled down. That day, the niece and Lou Yao had a big quarrel, and so many people inside and outside the medical house saw it. It took him only half a day to get home from the city defense, and he heard it in his ears. If Lou Yao lived outside again , People come and go, and it's still a city full of storms.

At the same time, Sang received good news and bad news.

The bad news is that, due to overwork and depression and a winter rain, the niece's cold seems to have worsened, and she developed a low-grade fever at night; the good news is that the doctor's house, which could not persuade her niece to leave, can now be handled logically for her. The resignation procedure is over.

Unexpectedly, Shao Shang was ill for several days, and he always woke up and fell asleep, and Sang Shi couldn't help but feel more and more worried. Fortunately, the doctors repeatedly confirmed and asserted that it was due to excessive fatigue that caused the wind evil to enter the body. Even so, Cheng Zhi still invited a renowned witch doctor with high magic power from Senior Brother Gongsun from the neighboring county, and performed a ruthless sacrifice at the county courthouse.

In other words, since Cheng Zhi and his wife took over their niece, they haven't been worried for a day. When she left the capital, she was worried that she had just been beaten, and that the child's family would be on top of the bull's horns, and she would take her on a tour of the mountains and rivers, horseback riding, playing the flute, and entertaining guests and friends all day long.

Well, the mood is brighter, and the people are open-minded and generous. As a result, the hijab encountered a military chaos, which made her look at piles of dead people at a young age, and most of them were missing limbs and died in a miserable state. Later, she was asked to go to the medical house to help her transition. Who knew that she took this matter seriously and acted both seriously and responsibly.

Going out early and returning late, she had to do everything herself. Seeing her face getting more and more sad when she came back from the medical house every day, Cheng Zhi and Sang Shi couldn't help but slap themselves in the face. The couple couldn't help but discuss who it was at the time. This lousy idea!

"...Oh, I remember. I was still in the house with a leg injury. When I got up early the next morning, I heard Ah Li going to the doctor's house. It was you, and you came up with this bad idea!" Looking at the sleeping girl on the couch, she was worried, and at the same time turned her head and glared at her husband

Cheng Zhi sat across from the bed: "It's not that you have been talking about that since you have encountered this chaos, you should take advantage of the situation to earn a good reputation for the curling up. What kind of compassion and compassion for others, there is a compassionate heart. There are also aristocratic families in the county town, who are waiting for curling up. Once the good reputation returns to the capital, it will be easier to get married in the future."

Sang shi touched the girl's blushing and hot face, and said, "Can't you just go to the medical house?

" Half-length strong men work, or go to the barracks to listen to so many big men talking about dirty words? Or else go out of the city to go to various villages to appease the people, what if you encounter bandits who slip through the net? The medical house is different. In the city, There are guards who will be watching, the medicinal materials and food will be collected and sent by you, but it is just cooking soup and medicine to count the accounts!"

Cheng Zhi felt that he was wronged, "Besides, I didn't make a fuss when I saw her coming from mountains of corpses and blood. The medical room is naturally not a problem."

"What do you know!" Sang Shi lowered her voice, "Yuyi has this temperament. If she is bullied and injustice, then she will not bear the slightest grievance, and she has to retaliate. I've got a heart..." She sighed, "I want to hide the curl in my heart, and I won't let anyone know."

Cheng Zhi sighed: "Yes, this disease is still going to get better soon, and the people who want to get married have to get married. Sang Shi looked at her husband blankly: "

I think I forgot two things. First, who said that Yao Yao is going to marry the son of Lou? The eight characters haven't even been written."

Cheng Zhi became anxious: "Why? Don't marry? The Lou family is the first family in Pengcheng, Hedong! Besides, what a good boy Ayao is, although his tongue is a bit stupid, his heart is warm, haven't you seen it these days?"

said Cheng Zhi couldn't stop talking about the benefits of the young master, "Yesterday, the eldest eldest evacuated the mourning hall, and the old lady is going to bring her family back to her hometown. You and I are so busy that you may not have any omissions. Zhang Luo, who was running in and out, went from the fine charcoal with less smoke to the tent made of fur, and even sent it out on horseback for dozens of miles outside the city. The old lady can say that if her two eldest granddaughters had not married early, they would have to Whoever robbed my husband and son! Now, who in this county doesn't praise my family's good fortune, and a famous family like Hedong Lou's is so diligent and ready to come to ask for a kiss!"

Sang Shi glared and said: "It's only been a few days, and you're full of 'Ayao, Ayao'. If things don't work out in the future, it's up to you to end this embarrassing situation! The second thing you forgot is that it's not you or me. Yes, she has her own mother and father to preside over the marriage!"

Cheng Zhi was silent, and after a while, he sighed: "Who said no, if you and I were born, I would immediately make a decision on the marriage. Oh, I don't know if there will be such a good son-in-law in the future!"

This time even Sang Shi sighed: "Yes, if it is, I can't ask for a son-in-law like Ayao! I don't know what the wife is like! Planning ?"

"What else can I do, wait. I just hope that Sister Yuanyi doesn't get confused about this." Cheng Zhi said helplessly.

——However, both of the couple were wrong. What they received first turned out to be Cheng Shi's reply.

After four days of drowsiness, Shaoshang finally subsided his fever and completely woke up. Although he woke up from time to time before, he was always unconscious, and his hands and feet were weak and would not obey. Although the body is still weak now, the Mingtai is clear and clear, obviously there is no serious problem.

On the same day, Cheng Zhi and his wife received a volume of the Sibo Family Letter, which was expedited by military cavalry. The couple was stunned for a while. After reading the letter, they realized that Cheng Shi was in Qingzhou Pingyuan County at this time, and it was only two days' journey away from Yanzhou Shanyang County, where Lou's father was.

The meaning in Cheng Shixin's letter is very simple: the Lou family is also a prominent family, and it is a great blessing for the Cheng family to be married. This matter only asks the businesswomen's intentions.

Cheng Zhi read the family letter three times, then sat back: "The eldest brother is really, the parents are the masters of marriage matters, how can you listen to the child! What do you know?"

"You don't know anything." Sang Shi grabbed the silk roll and walked out, "Brother is very wise, but your intelligence is full of face. Just relying on the temper and ability of the curl, if she herself is not willing, you will make a marriage for her and make trouble for you. It's uneasy! On the contrary..." She smiled slightly, "It will be smooth sailing."

After speaking, she turned and walked away, the corridor twisted a few turns, and walked straight into the young merchant's house.

At this time, Alime had just finished grooming Shaoshang, and serving her steamed cakes with bone porridge and fragrant honey, Shaoshang begged Alime to open some windows for some ventilation, otherwise the sickness in the house and the smell of food would be unpleasant. .

Ah Li's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She had worked so hard to drag the young girl back from the hands of the King of Hell, and then she raised the white chubby. Naturally, she disliked all those who didn't cherish the fruits of her hard work, including Shao Shang himself!

Shao Shang had said all his good things, acted like a spoiled brat and A Mei was assisting, A Li was finally willing to open the window halfway up, and when Sang entered the room to screen everyone away, she hurriedly closed the window again.

Sang Shi looked at Ah Li's stern back when he left, turned around and said with a smile: "If you don't take care of your body next time, I'll tie you up and send it back to your mother. You don't think about me and your uncle. Father entrusted you to us, if you have any good or bad, will your uncle and I still have the face to go back to the capital!"

Shao Shang slumped on the ground, raised his arms in a bow, and said in his mouth, "Aunt, please forgive me. , I already knew I was wrong. These days, Ah Li has never given me a good face."

Sang stepped forward and pressed the girl back to the quilt, took out the roll of silk and handed it to her, picking up the important things and saying a few words.

"Why is Father in Qingzhou?" Shao Shang quickly read it through, and the first thought was that Father Cheng was in line with her mind. Not only did he use the words in an easy-to-understand manner, but he also wrote that she could understand the font.

Mrs. Sang tucked the four corners of the quilt and said, "Your father is tight-lipped, and we only know that. Didn't the emperor strictly order Qingzhou to clear the bandits, ordinary thieves and small bandits are all looking for the wind to come down, only Pingyuan County has one. Strong bandits, relying on the mountains and high villages, are always difficult to attack."

"The emperor asked Grandpa to destroy them?! How dangerous!" Shaoshang immediately became nervous. If her husband marries the wrong one, she can remarry. Father Cheng is so good, she doesn't want to change his father!

"No! With His Majesty's current military strength, what kind of bandit can't be wiped out?!" Mrs Sang pressed the girl's shoulders back on the quilt, "It was the emperor who heard about what kind of righteous bandit they were. He has protected the village during the war for many years, and he is very popular among the people. I love it. Your Majesty couldn't bear to start killing people, so he wanted to recruit security. Your father also recruited a large stockade in Quling back then. Like General Wu, he is brave and invincible, and he can slaughter the city and kill prisoners at any time, causing the blood to flow into rivers, and His Majesty is not happy."

Hearing that he didn't need to fight hard, Shao Shang heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Sang pursed her lips, poked her finger, and said, "Hey, don't worry about your grandfather, I heard that Zhao'an is almost done now. It's you, how do you say, marrying or not? Not marrying?" She joked in her tone, deliberately teasing the little girl, just waiting to see her niece blushing and shy.

Who knows that Shaoshang is not at all shy, just like deciding whether to eat soup cakes or rice soup for dinner, he wrote lightly: "Marry, of course.

Sang Shi was surprised: "You, you just decided this way? Don't think about it anymore, think about others...?"

Shao Shang slowly raised his head and looked at her: "Who does my aunt want to say?"

Sang Shi cautiously: "Yuan How's the good view? Don't you mean anything to him. Didn't you tell me that he deliberately gave you medicine before he left? And..." She retracted her tongue and did not mention another name.

Shaoshang picked up the piece of silk and silk and said slowly, "So what? The Lou family has been a famous family since the previous dynasties, and it has lasted for

several generations."

"Young Master Lou treats me with sincerity, sincerity and simplicity." Shao Shang's ten fingers were slender, and he rolled the silk without any confusion.

"Although Ayao is good, but in terms of talent, ability, and power, Yuan Shen can beat him a hundred times!"

"So, is Yuan Shan here?"

Sang's language is blocked.



Shao Shang put the silk roll beside the pillow, and sat down with his hands on Sang 's, and said slowly, "Auntie, I'm here to ask you. Does the Lou family not live up to the name? It looks like a bunch of flowers, but it's actually an empty bag?" Shaking his head: "Lou's wealthy, I dare not say that the richest in the world, there are still rich in the east of the river. In the court, the reputation is also very good."

"Could it be that the son of Lou has some bad deeds and cannot be married?"

Sang shi shook his head again. He smiled bitterly and said, "Ayao's previous fiancee was He Zhaojun, a famous and fierce little girl. If there was anything wrong with Ayao, she would immediately shout all over the city.

" I don't have a good reputation and my family background is not obvious, so I don't like me?"

Sang Shi laughed and shook his head again: "Looking at Lou Juncheng so excitedly sending letters to your parents, I want to come and have no prejudice against you. As for Lou Er. Madam...I know a little bit..." She smiled, "She didn't like He Zhaojun very much at all, and more than once signaled that Madam He should teach her daughter well. Later, the He family broke up, causing her to lose face, and again I am looking forward to your son's humiliation." The

young merchant spread out Bai Shengsheng's small hands and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then why can't I marry the young master?"

Sang Shi hesitated, not knowing what to do. Wording: "Don't you want to wait any longer to see if there is a better candidate...?"

Shao Shang smiled, leaned back against the hidden pocket, and said, "Auntie, I don't have much experience, but I You know, the most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart. How do you know what people think if you are separated from the human heart. Since you can't guess their hearts, then watch their actions. Lou Gongzi is indeed not as talented as Yuan Shen, but he is real Holding a heart in front of me."

Sang Shi was silent.

"But what is going on in Yuan Shen's heart, I don't know, and no one knows. If he was just teasing me, he had no intention of marrying me, but I pushed such a good marriage for him?!" Shang shook his head, as if muttering to himself, "I don't know that."

Sang Shi couldn't help sighing.

Shao Shang looked at Sang Shi and smiled sweetly: "Aunt, you are the best looking child of your own, and always think that I am good here and there. But I am not that good, I am just the most ordinary little girl. The difference is that the mouth is more mean, the temper is more bad, and the tricks are more tricky. Now it is my great luck to be favored by Lou, and if there is greed, it will become a joke."

Sang was silent for a long time, and could only say: "...What you said is also reasonable."

"Aunt?" Shao Shang suddenly raised his voice and laughed, "When you mentioned Yuan Shanjian just now, did you still want to mention Ling?"

Sang was shocked and laughed. "What did you say?"

"When I came out of the hunting house that day, Taigong Li whispered to you for a long time, was he talking about how Ling Budo took care of me?" Shao Shang looked at his aunt with interest. "But you didn't dare to mention his name just now. Because you also know that for a person of high power like him, any more thought is self-indulgent. You are afraid of causing me to think about it, so you simply don't mention it."

Sang Shi Looking at the girl's clear eyes, she couldn't say a word.

"Master Ling is fierce and benevolent. He was seriously injured and came to save our lives, but he has to be thought of for no reason. He has encountered too many things like this, so he looks cold all day." Shao Shang is very Laughing at himself happily, "Ten birds are in the forest, it's better to have one bird in hand. I already know this principle."

Sang patted the girl's hand and sighed: "Okay, then I'll tell your uncle. Call him. Write a letter to your grandfather." ——When

people raise children, they are always worried that they can't see clearly and think too much of themselves, but raising their own children, they worry that their niece sees too clearly and thinks too clearly, which makes people feel distressed for no reason.

Before he could sigh, he suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps in the courtyard outside the house, and then the clear and urgent voice of a young man: "Mother Fu, is your wife feeling better today...?

" Not sure.

Shao Shang laughed: "Auntie doesn't know. Mother Fu told me that Mr. Lou would always come to ask for peace at this time of the day, and then stand in the courtyard for a while before leaving." After speaking, she suddenly raised her voice, " Mother Fu, I'm much better, please come in, Mr. Lou!" The

girl's clear voice came out of the house, and after a while, she heard the sound of taking off her boots in a panic, Alime slowly pushed the door open, being careful not to take off her boots. Letting the cold wind blow into the house, the heroic and vigorous young man strode in.

I couldn't see clearly in the rain that day, and I haven't seen him for two months. Lou Yao seemed to have grown a few inches taller, his face was slightly dark, and the boy's youthful stubbornness gradually faded away, and he looked like a dignified man.

Lou Yao first bowed and said hello to Mrs Sang who was sitting on the side of the couch. When Mrs Sang nodded and raised her hand to ask to sit, he sat down on a fluffy mattress on the floor.

Shao Shang smiled at him and said, "Young Master Lou, I heard from the maids that you have been busy in and out these days, but you have worked hard for you."

Lou Yao looked up and saw the girl on the bed after a long illness. , The white skin is almost crystal clear, there is only a light powder on the lips, the dark eyes are getting bigger and bigger, and the weak skeleton supports the wide robe nightgown, which is very pitiful.

But he felt that the girl was extremely beautiful, like a butterfly breaking its chrysalis, peeling off that layer of baby-like plump temperament that was being guarded by the group, transforming into a thrilling and lonely beauty.

Lou Yao only glanced at it, and didn't dare to look again, his face was red, and he said casually polite words in his mouth, always avoiding his eyes.

Shao Shang picked up the silk scroll and shook it: "Master Lou, my father has written a letter today. He promised the marriage."

Lou Yao raised his head suddenly, the surprise could not be restrained: "Really, really...?!"

Shao Shang Feeling amused, she couldn't help but say: "Someone pretended to be in the Military Daily, someone pretended to be an official document, and I haven't heard that Yunmai's family letter was also faked." She suddenly changed her tone and said softly, "Young master is still There is no word, I heard your uncle and aunt call you Ayao, should I call you Ayao too?"

Lou Yao looked at the girl's soft and beautiful expression, her heart was full of enthusiasm, and she stuttered more and more: "Okay! Then, can I call you, call you... Shaoshang...?"

"Of course." Shaoshang smiled. Gentle, like a bud, "I heard from my uncle that you want either parent in the future, even if it is remote and barren, you must stand up on your own. I can settle accounts, read documents, and understand farming and mulberry farming. When the time comes, you will take me with you. Let's go together, okay?" Lou Yao's eyes were warm for a while, and tears burst out with excitement. He was overjoyed and said loudly, "Okay! Let's go together ,

and Lanluo won't be afraid!"

Seeing her niece talking weakly, trying her best to smile and showing her best appearance, she was fascinated by the young man's soul, and her heart was surging - this is the most natural law between heaven and earth. The young female beast has finally grown up and knows how to use herself. Beautiful fur achieves what you want.
