Chapter 2872 Old Acquaintance (fourth update)
Hearing her words, Luo Fengtang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up and said: "Qing'er, please put on some clothes. I'll take you somewhere to meet someone. You will know why I went out in private these two times without telling you."
...
When the carriage stopped in front of a small yard of a house in an alley, Yang Ruoqing looked around, feeling a little surprised.
She was not very familiar with Qing'an County. This alley, and even the street where the alley was located, was her first time back tonight.
"Qing'er, wait here, I'll knock on the door." Luo Fengtang said, then turned around and patted the old wooden courtyard door in front of him.
“Come on, come on!”
Soon, the old woman’s voice and footsteps came from the yard.
After the door creaked open, standing behind the door was an unfamiliar old woman. Judging from her age, she was probably about the same age as Mrs. Tan. Her back was hunched. Under the moonlight, she wore The clothes are also patched with patches.
"Didn't you just leave? Why are you back?" The old woman asked in surprise when she saw Luo Fengtang standing at the door of the house.
Luo Fengtang glanced at Yang Ruoqing who was standing behind him, and said to the old woman: "I will bring my wife here with me."
The old woman only saw Yang Ruoqing at this time.
Yang Ruoqing was dressed in men's clothing at the moment, but there was no disguise on her face.
The old woman looked Yang Ruoqing up and down, nodded and said: "Well, the world is in chaos. Your wife is very handsome. It is more convenient to change into men's clothes when she goes out at night."
"Come on, come in quickly!"
......
Yang Ruoqing was led into the courtyard by Luo Fengtang. This was a very ordinary farmhouse.
Needless to say more here.
The old woman took the two of them to the door of the house, pointed to the brightly lit west room and said: "Go, he is in that room. I will continue spinning. Call me when you leave. That’s it.”
Then, she turned back to the east room.
Looking at the old woman's staggering steps and hunched back, Yang Ruoqing secretly thought that this person's life was different from others.
Tan has rarely done heavy work in her life, and all the work such as spinning and weaving is done by daughters-in-law such as Sun.
She only did some needlework herself, but later she became blind and her needlework almost stopped.
Ms. Tan also yelled every day that her life was boring, and she should really be allowed to see how this old woman lived.
This happiness sometimes comes from 'comparison'.
If you don’t compare, you won’t know that you are in a honey jar.
"Qing'er, we're here, look." When Luo Fengtang's voice came to her ears, Yang Ruoqing turned her head.
It was then that I realized that he had pulled me all the way out of the West Room.
In the west room, the furnishings are extremely simple.
There is a bed next to the wall and a table next to it.
A familiar figure is sitting sideways by the bed, holding a small bronze mirror in one hand and a wooden comb in the other hand, combing it carefully.
She was wearing popular women's clothes, a blue-breasted jacket with a blue skirt underneath.
Both the tops and bottoms are patched. When the bronze mirror she held in her hand slowly moved away, revealing that familiar face, Yang Ruoqing was stunned.
Zhou, Zhou Xia?
"Tangyazi, what is going on?" she asked in surprise.
"Didn't your Aunt Da'e say that Zhou Xia went to the capital to find the old concubine of Xiangyang King? Why, why are you here?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Furthermore, looking at Zhou Xia’s outfit, it is obviously that of a married woman. Could it be that she is married?
Besides the bed, Zhou Xia said coldly before Luo Fengtang could say anything: "It has been almost a year since the death of the old concubine of the King of Xiangyang. How can I find her? Should I go to the underworld to look for her?"
< br>
Luo Fengtang frowned when he heard this.
"Zhou Xia, why are you talking to your cousin-in-law? Don't be so aggressive!" he said.
Zhou Xia snorted coldly, "What cousin? She came here to see my joke, is it possible that I still want to compliment her? No way!"
Luo Fengtang's face turned cold, and his voice Bring a few Warning: "If you continue to be so arrogant and unreasonable, I will not lend you even a penny, let alone a hundred taels of silver!"
Zhou Xia became anxious and turned to glare at Luo Fengtang, hating Grit your teeth.
Yang Ruoqing was confused as she listened to the conversation between their cousins.
"Zhou Xia, shut up!" Yang Ruoqing shouted directly.
While Zhou Xia was stunned, she turned to Luo Fengtang and said, "What on earth is going on? I was confused, so tell me the whole story quickly."
Luo Fengtang nodded and said, "That's it. I The morning after we came to the county, you were sleeping, and I went downstairs to buy breakfast for you on the opposite street."
"Then I met Zhou Xia in the breakfast shop, but she didn't see her at the time. Me, I saw her.”
"I was just as puzzled as you at that time, so I followed her to see if I had seen the wrong person." The old woman, after listening to their conversation, realized that Zhou Xia was actually married. The man was the son of the old woman just now. "
"I showed up at that time and asked what the relationship was. What's more, the old woman told me that Zhou Xia was the daughter-in-law her son brought back from Changhuaizhou for ten taels of silver."
"I asked Zhou Xia, but she didn't either. Deny it.”
“The two times I came out alone, I came here to find her. I just wanted to ask her why she didn’t go home if she didn’t go to the old concubine of Xiangyang. ?”
"Aunt Da'e broke her leg trying to find her. Cousin Zhou Wang didn't say anything, but I can actually see that he still misses her as a sister in his heart."
"Now that we have become "Family, if you live an honest life, you should go back and tell your family that you are safe. As a child, you cannot lose this filial piety!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes, "Tang Yazi, why do you care about her? Let alone her filial piety, her conscience has long been eaten by dogs."
"Let's go, let's not worry about her, let's not waste our time on people like her!" Yang Ruoqing said.
Luo Fengtang did not leave, "Qing'er, she wants to borrow a hundred taels of silver from me,"
"I won't lend you a penny!" Yang Ruoqing refused directly. She was joking, Zhou Xia borrowed a hundred taels for what?
Is it still affordable?
And with her rubbish character, Yang Ruoqing gets annoyed whenever she sees her, how is that possible!
How did Tang Yazi make steamed buns?
Just when she was a little unhappy and wanted to drag Luo Fengtang out, Luo Fengtang said again: "Aren't we going to deal with the Cao family? She said she can help us at a cost of one hundred taels of silver."
Yang Ruoqing paused in her steps and looked at him.
But he looked at Zhou Xia: "Qing'er is in charge of my family's accounts. If you want to borrow money, you have to have her nod. I agree but I can't be sure."
" What can you do to help us? Tell me quickly. My Qing'er doesn't like people showing off, she will be impatient!"
