Chapter 235 Watching the fun
Shi Zelan brought a stool and asked Xiao Yingzi to sit down, then hurried to the kitchen and brought a glass of water to Xiao Yingzi.
"Xiao Yingzi, don't be anxious, please speak slowly."
Xiao Yingzi took the water glass, took a sip of water, and said to Shi Zelan: "Did you add sugar to the water? "
Shi Zelan nodded: "It's sugar, is it too much?"
"Not much, just a little sweeter than the water you usually bring me."
Shi Zelan looked at her: "It's so sweet, I'll add some more water to your cup."
Xiao Yingzi held the cup with both hands: "No need."
Shi Zelan looked up at the sky, and then asked Xiao Yingzi: "The little widow was caught by the official at this moment, right?"
“That’s right.”
"The little widow has never left the capital?"
"She has left. When the official came to ask her, she ran out because of fear."
"Didn't it be said later that she eloped with the official?"
"She didn't know that the official was gone. She returned to the capital half a year ago, and after hearing the news, she didn't dare to contact her former acquaintances."
“Where is her father and mother?”
"She is a child bride. After her father and mother gave her to her husband's family, they broke off all contact with her."
Shi Zelan sighed: "She has no husband, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law don't care about her." ?”
“I can’t control it. I heard that she can still keep her duty when her man is around.
She can’t keep her duty after her husband is gone. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law also wanted to arrange for her to remarry, but she was unwilling."
Shi Zelan looked back at Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu and said to them: "Do you want to go outside and inquire about this matter?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu stood up at this time and said to Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi: "Let's go out."
The two of them walked out of the courtyard door. Shi Zelan noticed Xiao Yingzi's clenched fingers and heard her excitement. Said: "Brother Xiao Liu, brother Xiao Xia, they are so good."
Shi Zelan glanced at her and smiled: "Am I not good?"
"Xiao Lanzi, isn't this right? Same.
My brother and I will never take the initiative to say anything to me when we go out.”
"You are relatives."
"They are also relatives to you, and they will also talk to you."
Shi Zelan looked at her: "Come on, let's continue talking about the little widow. "
"No, I know these things.
How about we go sit by the well?"
The two of them walked out of the yard and walked to the well. When they arrived at the well, they saw an empty place, so they walked back again.
In the yard, the wind was blowing, and Xiao Yingzi asked in a low voice: "Xiao Lanzi, you watched the number one scholar parade, when will you leave the capital?"
"We will leave a little later. Capital City.”
“Xiao Lanzi, you must leave, right?”
“We are not from Capital City.”
When Xiao Yingzi left, she said to Shi Zelan: "I don't want to be friends with you anymore. I don't want to miss you in the capital one day after you leave."
Shi Zelan looked at her: "Xiao Yingzi , I just won’t leave.
One day, when you get married, we will still be separated.”
Xiao Yingzi blushed and said, “I don’t need to get married either. Human."
"Hey, Aunt Liu went out." Xiao Yingzi looked back quickly and didn't see her mother going out. She stamped her feet and said to Shi Zelan: "Xiao Lanzi, you are not a good person either. ”
Shi Zelan laughed: "It's hard for us to meet, but we can still be friends."
"Huh, I don't want to be friends with you now."
Xiao Yingzi turned around and went home. Aunt Liu happened to hear Xiao Yingzi's words in the yard, and she just smiled.
After Shi Zelan sat in the yard for a while, he went to the eaves to draw symbols.
She can now do two things at once, drawing talismans while listening carefully to what's going on around her.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu originally went to the teahouse. After sitting for a while, they found that they couldn't find much information in the teahouse.
The two of them immediately got up and went to sit in the restaurant. As expected, someone started to brag after drinking two glasses of wine.
“Do you know about the little widow?”
“What about the little widow?
Don't talk nonsense outside, my wife's temperament is not that good. "
"Why am I bragging? She knows about the little widow. "
"Brother Wu Liang, when did my wife become so virtuous? "
"She has always been kind.
That little widow was one of the people involved in the last time the official’s corpse floated in the lake. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances and finally heard some news.
“Oh, didn’t the little widow disappear?
Everyone said she was in trouble,”
“But she was living a good life and got married again. She is still married three lanes away from her ex-husband’s house.”
“Really, brother, come on, have another glass of wine and talk about this.”
"Brother, I've also heard some things. Would you like to buy me a drink?"
"You, it seems like you are not a real person at first glance. I'd better listen to what this brother said. ”
“Ha, ha, ha, brother, you have a good idea.
Actually, the cousin of my cousin’s classmate lives in that alley and said that the little woman is married. After coming in, she was very kind and took care of the family's daily life.
Everyone thought that this little woman was very capable, but she was too shy.
She rarely speaks, and her neighbors almost mistakenly think she is mute.
So when everyone mentioned the widow before, no one thought about her. "
"Don't say too many unnecessary words. I want to hear why she was exposed? "
"Yes, tell me quickly. "
"What's the rush? You have to talk about the previous things before you can talk about the next things. ”
Someone brought a glass of wine over. The man took it and drank half of it before continuing.
“After the incident involving the official, the neighbors did not think of the little woman.
After all, she only married into this family half a year after the official disappeared. And she has always behaved herself since she was married.”
During the imperial examination, everyone talked about the candidates, and everyone curiously asked the young widow if her biological brothers were studying.
She said that her natal brother was not a scholar.
Someone laughed and praised her voice, saying that it didn't sound like someone from outside, but rather like a local from the capital.
Originally, everyone didn't take this matter to heart, but they accidentally heard about it when an official came to their alley to inquire about the news. "
The officials didn't take this matter to heart. They came to this alley several times and never saw the little widow. Thinking that women are shy, they didn't think much about it.
Imperial Examination On the day when the results were released, there were candidates in their alley, and an official came to report the good news. He accidentally saw the little widow watching the excitement in the crowd.
He just thought that this woman was very strange, so he asked again. When he asked the people around him and found out it was the shy woman, he immediately felt something was wrong
He thought that a truly shy woman would not stand outside and watch the fun at such a time.
