Chapter 4 third chapter

On the eighth day of April, Buddha’s Birthday is the day when Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born. On this day, most temples will hold Buddha bathing and life release ceremonies, so it is also called Bathing Buddha Festival. If it is in the suburbs, there will be temple fairs and bazaars. In the bazaar, big merchants and hawkers in storefront tents, singing operas, storytelling, treasure scrolls, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, fruits and vegetables, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, jewelry, underwear, shoes and socks, silk and satin, there are huge crowds of people, really lively tight.

Aunt Sixteen Shut up!Don't call me Aunt Sixteen if you are outside, don't you understand?Girl, I am only nineteen years old this year, and you are older than me. Doesn’t your barking like this make me old too? She thought he liked it? That Miss Liu? what? May I ask what's the fun in being crowded with people like this? Nonsense, where is the fun? Hongsheng couldn't laugh or cry.Then ten uh, why did Miss Liu insist on coming? Man'er shrugged.Boring! boring?Just because she was bored, so for nearly a month, he had to run around with her every day, and there was no horse to ride, no sedan chair to sit in, and he had to bother his poor legs?

He has never worked so hard in his life! Anyway, take a break!He begged pitifully. Well!Then let's go over there and find a place to sit. Next to the temple, they found a cherry tree grove with few people. Hongsheng graciously spread a towel on a flat stone, and asked Man'er to sit down.Looking at the crowd from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly smiled obsequiously. Miss Liu, are you thirsty?I'll get you some sugar water, please don't run around! After finishing speaking, without waiting for a response, he dived headlong into the crowd, snorting and snorting, Thinking about it with his toes, he must have seen a certain beautiful girl and was about to perform a fishing skill that he hadn't used for a long time.However, who said she had to wait here for him to wipe his mouth and pick his teeth?She wanted to see what his expression would be when he came back and couldn't see her?

Chicken flying dog jumping?Shout out?Apologize?hey-hey!Either way, it's sure to be fun. Thinking to herself, Man'er immediately got up and looked around to see where she was going. At this moment, a warm and unfamiliar call drew her attention. Little sister? Man'er turned her eyes suspiciously, and then blinked in surprise.Brother Cao? ! It was clear at a glance that it was really her, and the tall and mighty man in the crowd left the crowd in surprise and strode over. Little sister, it's really you!He whispered excitedly. Man'er was also very pleasantly surprised, but it was purely a surprise to see an old friend again.

Brother Cao, why are you here? My family originally lived here! Yes!I forgot.Man'er patted his forehead.Then Senior Brother Cao came back to visit his relatives? No, Cao Yuqi shook his head lightly.A year ago, my father was ill and asked me to come back to get married. He passed away shortly thereafter, so I had to stay and couldn't go back to the martial arts hall. Huh?Blinked again in surprise.Didn't Senior Brother Cao get engaged more than four years ago? Why did they only get married a year ago? Because I deliberately delayed, Cao Yuqi said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on her deeply.I have always wanted to persuade my father to accept you, little sister, but he has always refused, and I had no choice but to marry him when the old man fell ill.But he hesitated for a moment.Little sister, my father has passed away, and no one can stop me anymore, so, little sister, are you willing to marry me as a concubine?I swear, this is just a difference in status, I will never let my little sister suffer any grievances!

Hearing this, Man'er couldn't help being surprised and moved. She has been annoyed by Cao Yuqi for so many years, but she never expected that Cao Yuqi would treat her sincerely, although his sincerity is not firm enough, nor deep enough, nor is it like Yinlu who does not hesitate to pay any price, even sacrifices his life. There is room for it, but after all, he is also sincere. Thank you, Senior Brother Cao, but Man'er smiled apologetically.I got married two years ago and gave birth to a son, so I'm sorry, Brother Cao. Are you married?From the shock on Cao Yuqi's face, anyone who saw him could see how deeply disappointed he was.He is marrying you?

Yes, Man'er nodded.Ming media is getting married. Pain flashed across his face, is he treating you well?Cao Yuqi asked in a low voice. very good!Man'er sincerely admitted.Of course, there is something wrong with his personality!However, he is sincere to me. Doesn't his family object? How could it be possible with a sneer?His father objected very much, always saying that I was not good enough for him, but Man'er shrugged.He said that if his father insisted on objecting, he could just kick him out of the house, so his father had to take a step back! Yeah?Cao Wangqi smiled wryly.If I had been able to stand firm like this back then, would you have married me?

Looking at him in embarrassment, Man'er was silent for a long while. Brother Cao, what do you want me to answer?That's all in the past, isn't it?No matter what I answer, it will be irreversible, so why do you bother to trouble yourself?Now that you are married, focus on your wife. Yes, I know that since I'm married to her, I should concentrate on taking care of her, not to mention that she is also pregnant.But Cao Yuqi sighed helplessly.I just couldn't help it. After my father's hundred days passed, I started looking for you everywhere, hoping to Brother Cao, Man'er Rou Ning lightly put his arm on his arm, interrupting his futile confession.I believe that the wife your father found for you must be very good, so concentrate on treating her!

Cao Yuqi looked at her strangely for a while, then sneered. My father objected to letting me marry you on the grounds that you are of Manchu blood, because your father is unknown, but he forced me to marry the daughter of Changzhou Dusi as his wife, just to cling to the powerful, so that my father-in-law can promote me as Hushu Mr. Qian of Xun, and my wife is very arrogant because of this, and she will overpower me in everything. How does this teach me how to put my heart on her? Even more surprising!Brother Cao wants to be an official?How do I not know?Man'er asked in surprise. I'm not very interested, but maybe it's my father's influence. My two younger brothers are quite ambitious. For their sake, I had to endure it.

This is probably the pain of being the eldest brother! After looking at him sympathetically for a while, Man'er could only comfort him, maybe things would change after her sister-in-law gave birth. Cao Yuqi looked at her again.have you changed Uh, Man'er smiled awkwardly.No. Cao Yuqi twitched the corner of his mouth to show that he had laughed. It seems that the indecision that day will be the most regrettable thing in my life. Brother Cao Since I can't get you, I have to seek other comfort. Man'er opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it again. What can she say?

A woman always blames a man for being unspecialized, but she never thinks that it might be caused by herself! Weeds and flowers by the Zhuque bridge, the setting sun at the entrance of Wuyi alley. In the old days, the front swallow of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. Since the Eastern Wu Dynasty, both sides of the Qinhuai River have been bustling commercial areas. During the Six Dynasties, Jinling was more of a political and economic center, so it became a place where dignitaries gathered, especially Wuyi Lane, Zhuque Street, Taoyedu, etc. They were all the residences of famous families at that time. Although after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wuyi Lane and other places gradually declined, during the six dynasties that lasted three hundred years, the Qinhuai River became more densely populated, with golden powder towers and eerily singing songs. Even in Wuyi Lane, which has become desolate and ruined, there are still a few mansions of wealthy families that have survived to this day.For example, from the south gate of Wende Bridge to the opposite of the gate of Wuyi Lane, there is a simple, elegant and colorful mansion. This is the current temporary residence of Man'er and Hongsheng. It is Man'er's temporary boudoir. The night in early summer was still full of coolness, and Man'er in her sleep unconsciously tucked up the quilt even more tightly. At this moment, someone suddenly tore off her quilt in the darkness, half dreaming and half awake, she still thought it was her. She kicked the quilt away by herself, and was about to grab it back again, when a body mixed with anger covered it, she couldn't help taking a breath, and finally fully woke up. you It was just such a word, she couldn't say any other words, her mouth was blocked severely. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ensuing battle was a life-and-death duel in a violent storm. His fierce rage was conveyed to her completely through his rough caresses, violent movements and wild panting, as if There is really a life-and-death hatred between them. In the chaos after the war, he didn't even turn over, he just lay on her body and questioned her panting. Who is that man? Ah?She had a bewildered expression on her face. The man at the temple fair today! Huh?ah!You mean Cao Yuqi, Brother Cao, you, you, you, what are you doing?Are you hungry?Don't bite me if you're hungry! The person who taught you martial arts? Eh?Do you still remember?Why are you biting again! What did you say? oh!He said he wanted to marry me!It really hurts! Didn't you tell him you were married? Yes, I have!I also told him that I already have a son, huh?Stop biting? Never see him again! yeah!Why?He was the one who taught me martial arts, besides, he was the only one who treated me well before, so don't keep biting me, okay? Would you rather be with him? What are you talking about?She wanted to push away the biting pervert who was pressing on her, but he was clinging to her, refusing to move even a hair.Why should I go with him?I'm an idiot!He's not as willing to die for me as you are, God knows when he'll throw me aside again! Then I will never see him again! Why do you say that?She couldn't help but punched him.If I want you to stop staying with that woman, are you willing? That's work. Ha, I can't believe you have nothing else to do! In the dark, he was speechless, and quietly left her body, got out of bed and put on his clothes. I'll just say it!At the mention of that woman, you can't help but want to get back to her quickly.Seeing that he was leaving, she couldn't help muttering sourly again.snort!What's the big deal, you like to be tired of that woman, I can also go to look for Senior Brother Cao, maybe after a long time, I will feel that following Senior Brother Cao is better than being with you, although ah? ! Naked, he's back at her, and his teeth-gritting declaration. Do you really want me to die on you?Well, I will die on you! Huh?ah!help So, the war started again, and the battle was fought again, and the war was fought again, and the war was fought again and again, and the battle was repeated, and finally when the ammunition was almost exhausted, the woman who didn't have half a bullet was one step ahead, so sad and heroic Chengren, therefore, the man who was determined to die changed his mind temporarily and decided to die on her in the next round. A game of death without an opponent is so boring! When the sound of water suddenly came from the corner of the room, Hongsheng turned over and almost died of fright. Uncle Ten Sixteen? Where did you go during the temple fair during the day? Hongsheng swallowed in fear.I, I, and he just left for a while and said, it's really terrible, so Uncle Sixteen knows it too! Don't do this again in the future, keep an eye on your sixteenth aunt, don't let any man approach her, there is only one servant who does rough work in this house, do you hear me clearly? Got it, Uncle Sixteen.Carefully focusing on the place where the sound of water came from in the darkness, Hongsheng's eyes widened, but he still couldn't see clearly, only vaguely saw a figure wringing out a towel to wipe his body.Uncle Sixteen, your voice seems a little out of breath, it can't be Shut up! I shrink my neck, sorry!Hongsheng repented in a low voice. Also, don't wake up your sixteenth aunt tomorrow, she will probably sleep all day, just call her after dinner. I knew this was the case! Got it, Uncle Sixteen.Unexpectedly, Uncle Sixteen, who has always been indifferent and ruthless, would have a time of excessive indulgence, which is really unbelievable. Then help me check a person's details. who? Cao Yuqi. Who is he? enemy! Man'er really slept through the whole day as someone predicted, if Hongsheng hadn't repeatedly asked Lafayette to get up for dinner, maybe she would have slept until midnight. What a shame! He can get tired of being around other women, but she can't make friends, which is even more abhorrent! So, after dinner, she gave Hongsheng an order. Hongsheng, go post the post, we are going to visit Miss Yuhanyanyu tomorrow! Hongsheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. yeah?it's not good!Aunt Sixteen, Uncle Sixteen said Are you not going?OK, then I'll go by myself! Wow!That's even worse.Hongsheng was taken aback.Okay, okay, let's go together, go together!But what are we going to do? Man'er sneered with a gloomy chill, Hongsheng felt goosebumps all over his body, and almost ran away. Of course, I'm going to ask Miss Yu how to seduce men! Mr. Liu is a woman? The two heads got together to study the post for a long time, the standing one raised the question first, and the sitting Yu Hanyan put down the post slowly. That's right, I knew she was a woman the first time I met her. Then what is she doing here?Why did my sister still want to see her? There are only two purposes for women to come to this kind of place, one is to be curious, and the other is to make trouble. Is she here for trouble? It doesn't look like it, but I'm still not sure. So I want to see her again to be sure? It can also be said that, you should know that what we try our best to avoid in this kind of work is trouble, Yu Hanyan said pointedly.Therefore, if it can be resolved in private, it is best to resolve it as soon as possible, so as not to cause another incident to spoil the big event. OK, then I will accompany you!If the other party wants to come to bully my sister, let's see how she fixes the other party! Therefore, Wang Ruixue, who was planning to go out, decided not to go out. Ren Fei, who was planning to go out, was even more unwilling to miss this kind of excitement. Zhu Cunxiao, who had no plan to go out, followed Yu Hanyan every step of the way, like a patron saint Only the little nerd Xiaotian, who was always nestled in the corner, continued to hold his book unconsciously, muttering words in his mouth. Only women and villains are difficult to raise!If you are close, you will not be inferior, if you are far, you will complain!Missy is fine!Although the second lady is a little unreasonable What did you say? ! Wang Ruixue let out a shriek, and was about to kill Miss Past, when Mr. Jin and Miss Liu came! Miss Liu? Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, but as soon as the guests came in, they understood why Xiao Cui'er clearly called her a girl. Miss Yu, long time no see.Man'er, in a bright-colored short jacket and a phoenix-tailed long skirt, greeted her gracefully. Miss Liu, Young Master Jin.Yu Hanyan also calmed down as if nothing had happened.Please sit down, Xiao Cui'er, and serve tea. She looked around without leaving a trace, and at the same time gave someone an extra look with a half-smile. I think Miss Yu may have already guessed that Man'er came here for other purposes.As soon as she sat down, Man'er went straight into the encirclement. Yu Hanyan smiled lightly.Is Miss Liu engaged or already married? Married, married, Man'erxi said earnestly.I also have a precious son!It's a pity that his father didn't even see him. Her family's husband had to keep an eye on her, Man'er just started, and Wang Ruixue interrupted her very rudely.If something goes wrong, you don’t reflect on yourself and you want to blame others. No wonder your husband wants to run away! Man'er pretended to be stunned for a moment.Huh?Please forgive me for being puzzled about what this girl is? Don't you want to come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?Wang Ruixue put her hands on her waist, looking aggressive.Speak!Who is your husband-in-law?Master Li?Master Hou?Zhang Yuanwai?Ever raised people? Puchi laughed, no, no, no, my husband-in-law has never been Miss Yu's guest, so what kind of teachers and crimes can I ask?As she said that, Man'er glanced at someone intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of her eyes. Yu Hanyan was stunned quite unexpectedly, and unconsciously looked at Hongsheng who had been fidgeting since he appeared, as if a dead mouse had been pressed under his buttocks, and was even sweating a little. Then this should be he?Man'er laughed even louder.No, no, he still has to call me aunt! Yu Hanyan frowned lightly.So what is Miss Liu here for? The smile suddenly disappears, to be honest, it is indeed related to my husband-in-law!Man'er sighed exaggeratedly, and even pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.Think about it, it was he who swore that he was willing to die for me back then, so I reluctantly married him. then?How many years have you been married?Wang Ruixue murmured. Two years, two years!Man'er grinningly pointed out two fingers, then her face fell down again.Unexpectedly, after only one year of marriage, he left me, who just gave birth to a son, and ran away!She swallowed, seemingly genuinely or falsely, quite sadly.He didn't even take a look at his son's appearance! Yu Hanyan and Wang Ruixue looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with it. well!It's a pity that I didn't even have a full confinement period, and I went out and ran around looking for him half a month after giving birth. After working hard for more than half a year, I finally let me cough lightly in Man'er.I found him in the Eight Great Alleys of the capital, but he Don't want you?Wang Ruixue blurted out. Immediately look across, no way!He still swears that he is willing to die for me.Man'er said angrily. Roll your eyes, isn't that all right?Wang Ruixue said impatiently. Where did you get it?Man'er sniffed.As soon as he finished speaking, he ran back to the woman in Bada Hutong in the blink of an eye! Eh? !Wang Ruixue froze in astonishment.Back again? That's right, lying next to me and swearing to me just a moment ago!The next moment he was in a hurry to get dressed and go back to the woman. So isn't he farting all his vows? Indeed, it's just used to fool a stupid woman like me! Sure enough, men's oaths are not credible!Wang Ruixue said bitterly. It's unbelievable, in short, he just can't let go of that woman.Man'er wiped the corners of her eyes resentfully.That's why, I just want to ask Miss Yu for advice, because that woman is quite similar to Miss Yu, let's see how I can win back my husband's heart, you can't teach me to stay alone in the empty boudoir in the future, right? Yu Hanyan hesitated with me.Quite similar? yes!She is also a showman but not a person, she has a good temperament, good facial features, like a fairy, and she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is good at singing and dancing. To be honest, she pouted her lips unwillingly.I have nothing to compare with others. Then there is no hope!Wang Ruixue blurted out again. Ruixue!Yu Hanyan glanced over warningly, seeing Wang Ruixue sticking out her tongue and taking a step back, she gave Man'er a consoling smile with a pleasant face.Miss Liu, did your husband-in-law ever say that he wanted to marry her? That's not true. That's it, Yu Hanyan said softly.Some men are just addicted for a while, after a long time, they will naturally You mean you want me to wait obediently?Man'er blinked her bright Danfeng eyes and asked softly.Doesn't matter if he doesn't come home for a year, two years, or ten or twenty years? Uh, this jade is suffocating with smoke.I don't think so, he He hasn't been back home since he left the house! Na Yu Hanyan frowned.How did the in-laws express it? There is no indication of anything, this is not a false truth at all.In fact, my father-in-law was against letting me in from the start. Even if the in-laws don't support it, then it's probably hopeless!Wang Ruixue couldn't help but interjected again. Frankly, I think so too!So Man'er looked at Yu Hanyan quite seriously.I would like to ask Miss Yu another question. Miss Liu, please tell me. If I have a childhood sweetheart, what does he expect me to do with him?In the middle of speaking, Man'er suddenly turned her face to the side and glanced at Hongsheng, who had a look of panic and fear, who was holding onto her skirt desperately with trembling hands.What’s wrong with you?Why such a virtue? I'm dying!Hongsheng groaned: Please stop talking, Auntie, shall we go back? Raise your eyebrows slightly, are you uncomfortable?Man'er teased with a half-smile: Alright!Then I say hurry up. Aunt Don't talk too much, children!Man'er scolded in a low voice, then turned to Yu Hanyan and nodded with a smile.In short, I have a childhood sweetheart who is quite infatuated with me. However, we lost contact for a long time due to some reasons. Recently, he finally found me and hoped to marry me into his house.Miss Yu, do you think I should choose the husband who lingers around other women and refuses to go home, or should I choose this childhood sweetheart who has always had the same affection for me? Hongsheng groaned again.This time I'm dead! Before Yu Hanyan had time to express his opinion, Wang Ruixue blurted out again. Stupid, of course choose the childhood sweetheart who has never changed his mind! Ruixue!Yu Hanyan scolded angrily, then turned to Man'er and said seriously: No, Miss Liu, I think you'd better be However, there was no chance for her to express her true thoughts, Man'er was already jumping up excitedly. I think so too!That's great, I'm so glad you guys agree with me, you don't want the kind of husband who is always in love with other women!Alright, I'll go home and hug my son. Anyway, my husband doesn't even want to look at him. Why don't I take him away? I believe my childhood sweetheart will love him with me! When the words fell, she picked up Hongsheng who had a dead face.Let's go, let's go!We can go home now! Like a gust of wind, the two had disappeared outside the hall. Everyone in the hall looked at me and I looked at you in a daze. They really didn't know why that woman came here. Then, everyone turned their attention to the little nerd, who was still hiding in his corner and muttering. Abandoning the edge of the body, life is safe?Parents don't care, why say son and wife?The names of strong men are not allowed to be self-serving.Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as home! Why is he looking at death like home so much? Changed to go to war?
