Chapter 118 Chuzhou·Sister Wei Yuyi 1 [Thank you for your support! Goodbye]

Youshi

It was already dark.

In the village next to the Chuzhou Canal lock, people who had returned from work by the river in the wind and snow separated in the village and returned to their respective homes.

Carrying the wooden sign and holding the throwing pot, the couple entered their yard.

The two shouted: "Mom, we are back."

"Yu'er is back!" An old woman's voice came from inside the house. The couple put down the throwing pot with arrows and entered the house.

In the room, an old woman with dull eyes was fumbling with her needlework.

"Mom, why are you holding a needle and thread again?" Wei Yuyi asked angrily.

The old woman didn't pay attention to Wei Yuyi's tone and said: "The little puppy has lost its mother a long time ago, and there is no needleworker in the family. When the clothes are torn, there is no one to sew them, so I just help out."

"You're like this, why can you help me? Sister," Wei Yuyi was pushed by her husband and stopped talking.

The old woman paused and continued sewing the old clothes in her hands.

Wei Yuyi washed his face in the basin in the room, raised his head, and his dark and yellow face became much fairer.

At this time, there was a sound of calling the door from outside.

There was a child in the small courtyard carrying a half-foot-long fish: "Grandma Wei asked En to bring the fish."

Wei Yuyi walked out of the house and said angrily: "Where did the fish come from? Take it back and you can eat it yourself."

"Dad went down to the river to catch some fish to help Grandma Wei recuperate!" The child put the fish on the ground and ran away.

Wei Yuyi's husband looked at his wife who looked a little embarrassed and smiled, walked over to pick up the fish, followed his wife to the kitchen next to her and whispered: "There are more people in the world who repay kindness in return."

Wei Yuyi said nothing and was handling the fish on the chopping board. Her man continued: "If you have time, would you like to go to Yangzhou to see my eldest sister?"

"My family has just bought a field outside, and you have also collected a pond. We don't have much money left. My sister has two girls to take care of her."

"What I'm saying is that the second girl is a good girl. If the eldest sister gives birth to a boy, she will stand still in that high door."

"What are you talking about? My father said that his daughter can still establish a family." Wei Yuyi said and washed the fish in the basin.

The strong man helped light the firewood in the stove and said, "At noon, I saw a murder."

Wei Yu's hand trembled and he looked at his husband in surprise. He looked a little panicked and said, "What's killing someone?"

Wei Yuyi's man didn't say anything.

"Go on, say half of what you say!"

"I was helping a ship owner fix a pulley on a tree by the canal. I saw someone killing people with bows and arrows at the warehouse. While they were beating gongs and drums, when I went to find you, I saw several cattle carts leaving there. I took a look and saw that they were all full of people. I also saw that group of people at your pot throwing stall, they were riding on big horses."

Wei Yuyi said with a somewhat frightened voice: "Don't scare me!"

The man said: "I shouldn't have said it, I just kept it in my heart and felt uncomfortable, and I scared you!"

Wei Yuyi said: "Don't say it out again, or you may be killed."

"I know, so I'll tell you. Shall we go to the canal tomorrow?"

"Go. If you didn't go before, people would come to your door."

The stove started to get hot, and the couple started making fish soup.

In the evening, there were many soldiers and government officials along the canal.

Every ship was searched by the government officials, and even those with female dependents had their mothers-in-law go to check.

After dark, gate guards would patrol in formation from time to time.

on board,

Before dinner, Xu Zaijing took a hot bath on the boat before going to the cabin where Bai was. Bai held a post in her hand. Seeing Xu Zaijing's confused eyes, Bai said: "It's the eldest lady of the Yan family. Tomorrow Coming to visit.”

Xu Zaijing said: "Yan Zhizhou was intentional and arranged so many guards."

Bai nodded.

Gu Tingye came over and asked what happened after Xu Zaijing came to Chuzhou.

Naturally, Xu Zaijing did not tell them about his involvement in the murder. He only said that the Chuzhou Imperial City Department and the government worked together to kill him.

After Bai learned about her father's situation, except for the look of thinking in her eyes from time to time, she felt much more relaxed.

Smiling, Xu Zaijing was talking about how great the skill of the pot-throwing lady Wei at the canal was.

Gu Tingye listened to Xu Zaijing's words with a look of eagerness in his eyes, "Mom, Brother Jing and I will go and have a look tomorrow. We must see how powerful Mrs. Wei is!"

Children have very keen senses, so Gu Tingyi looked at her second brother with a smile. She felt that her mother's mood had improved a lot since Xu Zaijing came back.

Pingmei held Gu Tingyi's little hand and smiled happily. Seeing her little brother's relaxed look, she felt relieved.

Gu Tingye continued: "Mom, let's send someone to guard it tomorrow, okay?"

Bai nodded.

White snow rustles.

It was late at night, and most of the ships on the canal had their lights out.

But there were many lanterns and fires lit on the shore.

Although there were soldiers from Chuzhou to protect them, the soldiers of the Hou family on the ship still kept vigil in the snow and did not dare to slack off.

The snow stopped before dawn,

It looks like the sky is still sunny.

Servants on several large ships went ashore to wait for Lady Wei.

Perhaps knowing that noble people were here, the gatekeepers swept away the snow early.

At three o'clock in the hour,

Mrs. Yan rode a carriage to the shore, got off the carriage, and saw Xu Pingmei and Gu Tingyi who were welcoming them on the boat. Mrs. Yan, her daughter and the maids were invited into the cabin.

When boarding the boat, the beautiful girl from the Yan family caught a glimpse of Xu Zaijing standing, her pretty face turned red and she lowered her head.

Mr. Bai was talking to Mrs. Yan in the spacious cabin, while Gu Tingyi accompanied the Yan family girl like a master.

At this time, a servant came back and said, "Madam, the Madam Wei that I mentioned is here."

Looking at Madam Yan's confused eyes, Mrs. Bai explained a few words. Madam Yan nodded and then called the maid beside her. After whispering a few words, the maid got off the boat and went straight to the canal. Go to the largest restaurant.

Gu Tingye, who was on the boat, came to the cabin excitedly and said, "Mom, Brother Jing and I are going to see Mrs. Wei!"

Bai ordered: "Go. Wear more cloaks!"

"I know, mother."

Bai looked at Gu Tingyi's big eyes, full of envy as her second brother ran to the shore, and walked over there with Xu Zaijing, a few servants, maids, soldiers and other people.

Madam Yan and Mrs. Bai said, "Madam, why don't we invite Madam Wei to the restaurant and set up a screen so that the sisters can watch the fun?"

Seeing the looks in Gu Tingyi's and Ping Mei's eyes, Bai Shi smiled and shook his head and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."

"My own property is nothing."

Wei Yuyi's officials put down the wooden signs and the tou pot, and when they were about to leave, they saw a neatly dressed servant woman walking over with four government servants.

He just stood here to see what was going on.

The servant girl knelt down and said: "Madam, please come. Our eldest lady from the Zhizhou family invites you to go to the restaurant over there to throw pots. Please accept your permission."

After speaking, the maid lowered her head and waited for a reply.

Wei Yuyi whispered to his officials: "It's not easy to offend the local officials, so I'll go."

"Um."

"Then ask mom to lead the way." Wei Yuyi said. Just as he was about to move the Tou Hu, the Yamen servant next to the servant woman hurried over and helped pick up the Tou Hu wooden sign.

Yesterday, the noble man in blue also got the news from the servant, and came over with his own throwing pot in his arms. When he saw this scene, he hurried up and said, "What happened?"

I can finally have a drink of vinegar.

There are three more chapters.

Next are some things about the Wei family.

I will write about Yangzhou tonight.
