autumn as wife

Having nothing to say all the way, the two came to the village and hired a carriage to run all the way to Wang Xiaomei's ancestral home.

"Did Erdang grow up there?" Ruan Mingqiu asked. He was also sitting in front of the carriage and driving with her at this time. He really couldn't stand the way Erdang's wild dogs drove. Rather than bumping around in the carriage, she might as well come out to breathe. Sometimes I feel that Wang Xiaomei is like a child, it's very funny to be silly.

"I was born there, but after my parents were away, I went out with my elder brother." Wang Xiaomei said lightly.

"Well, I will follow you wherever you are in the future." Ruan Mingqiu felt that he had touched the scar of the second master, so he quickly comforted him.

"Has Ming Qiu thought about getting married?" Every time Wang Xiaomei asked this question, her heart ached, but she still couldn't help asking.

"Think." Ruan Mingqiu saw that the second master was cautious like a cat at the moment.

"..." Wang Xiaomei stopped talking.

"How about marrying you? Why don't you marry me?" Ruan Mingqiu continued to tease Wang Xiaomei.

"I'm married, do you want to marry me?" Wang Xiaomei heard that Ruan Mingqiu was teasing her, and immediately got excited.

"Marry." Ruan Mingqiu's tone was extremely firm, extremely firm

"Drive!" Wang Xiaomei yelled vigorously, which startled Ruan Mingqiu, and the two looked at each other, laughing together.

After walking for four days, Ruan Mingqiu couldn't stand the exhaustion of the cars and horses, and it was especially hard to stay in a post station at night, but he was afraid of being delayed on the road, so he didn't dare to ask for more rest. Fortunately, Wang Xiaomei took good care of him along the way.

"That's the village in front." Wang Xiaomei stopped the carriage and pointed to Ruan Mingqiu. Ruan Mingqiu looked in the direction of her finger. Ordinary could not be in an ordinary village, but it was bigger than an ordinary village.

"Let's go quickly." Ruan Mingqiu urged, he really wanted to see the place where Wang Xiaomei grew up.

Wang Xiaomei and Ruan Mingqiu drove the carriage to the village and stopped at the door of a family.Wang Xiaomei got out of the car, turned around to help Ruan Mingqiu, and the two then went up to knock on the door.

Not too long ago, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was a girl dressed like a maid. She asked who she was looking for, but Wang Xiaomei didn't know anyone who lived here, so she mentioned her brother's name and said that he ordered him to visit. The visitors were a man and a woman, both of them were very good-looking, the man's face was in a mess, and the woman's beauty was rare in the world, and when he heard the name of the grandfather, he nodded and let them in, and then told her family to come in. Miss, let Wang Xiaomei and the other two wait a moment.

"Miss? It can't be the grandfather's golden house cangjiao?" Ruan Mingqiu tugged on Wang Xiaomei's clothes and said.

"See if it's true. I also think what Ming Qiu said is possible." Wang Xiaomei suddenly aroused curiosity, and the two waited eagerly. After a while, the main room door opened, and the servant girl called them into the room. , the two followed without saying a word, and Ruan Mingqiu saw them when they entered the room. The person who greeted them was indeed a woman, with a pretty face, not as brilliant as Wang Xiaomei, but she was a gentle person with a smile on her brows. His peaceful eyes matched his grandfather's.

"It's you!" Wang Xiaomei lost her composure and yelled out.The woman in front of her nodded, Ruan Mingqiu looked at the scene, it turned out that she was an acquaintance.

"This is Ruan Mingqiu, a doctor in the village. Grandfather ordered us to come together this time." Wang Xiaomei spread out her palms, put her five fingers together, and pointed her palm upwards to introduce Ruan Mingqiu.

"This is Miss Li Yao, the daughter of my grandfather's benefactor." Wang Xiaomei introduced the woman opposite to Ruan Mingqiu.

"Hello Miss Li." Ruan Mingqiu said with a smile, waiting for the other party to answer him.

"Uh, it's inconvenient for Miss Li Yao to have aphasia." Wang Xiaomei hurriedly explained the situation to Ruan Mingqiu.Ruan Mingqiu didn't expect this, he looked startled for a moment, but immediately recovered and nodded.

"Let's sit down and talk." The servant girl brought tea in and said.

"Miss Li has been here all along. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing now?" Wang Xiaomei greeted.Ruan Mingqiu saw that Li Yao communicated with people through epithets, and the servant girl translated them to them.

It turned out that Li Yao's father was the censor who was followed by the grandfather at first. The censor was persecuted by the traitor, and the whole family could not escape punishment. The grandfather tried his best to save her life, and placed her here, away from right and wrong, and kept her safe. She is safe.

"This is a letter from grandfather to you." Wang Xiaomei took out her heart from her bosom and handed it to Li Yao.After reading the letter, Li Yao closed the letter and gestured a few times. The servant girl went into the back room and took out a box.

"This is the token of the bank. You can go and get some money for emergency." Wang Xiaomei nodded when she heard this, and put away the token.

"Miss Li has a very close relationship with Grandpa." Ruan Mingqiu and the Erdangjia arranged in the next room. The two of them were tired for several days and were ready to take a good rest.

"At that time, grandpa often took care of her. But I never thought she would be here." Wang Xiaomei said without denying it.

"Clean up, let's take a rest today, and go to see my parents tomorrow morning." Wang Xiaomei felt that she could finally change back into women's clothes, which was too uncomfortable to wear.

Ruan Mingqiu opened the bag, remembering that the book he wanted was placed inside, and quickly tucked it under it with a panicked expression. Seeing Ruan Mingqiu like this, Wang Xiaomei poked her head out to see what she was doing so anxiously.

"What are you hiding?" Wang Xiaomei asked.

"It's nothing, you quickly change your clothes." Ruan Mingqiu said, startled.

"Let me see what kind of book this is?" Wang Xiaomei took it out at once, there was nothing on the surface, wondering what it was, Ruan Mingqiu hid it like this and still carried it with her.

"Give it back to me." Ruan Mingqiu saw that the second boss had snatched the book, if he saw it, he would pay it back.

"What's inside, such a treasure?" Wang Xiaomei was completely aroused by curiosity, could it be Ruan Mingqiu's love words to her.

"Don't open it!" Ruan Mingqiu was completely lacking in his usual dignity, and stood up to take it away.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay you back." Seeing that Ming Qiu was about to explode, Wang Xiaomei hurriedly handed it back to Ruan Mingqiu.Ruan Mingqiu took it, put it at the bottom of the bag, and looked at Wang Xiaomei coldly.

"Don't move. If I know that you have moved, I will ignore you." Ruan Mingqiu's voice was extremely condensed.

"The head of the family is all up to you, Ming Qiu, don't get angry." Wang Xiaomei said, bowing, Ruan Mingqiu laughed when she saw her bowing in men's clothing.

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Xiaomei led Ruan Mingqiu to the tomb of his parents, and Wang Xiaomei took care of the tombstone carefully.

"Miss Li, take care, this place is well taken care of." Ruan Mingqiu handed the things he brought to Wang Xiaomei.

"En." Wang Xiaomei arranged the sacrifices, then knelt down, and Ruan Mingqiu also quickly knelt down after seeing this.

"My parents, Xiaomei came to see you. Parents are relieved. My brother and I are all fine. This is Ruan Mingqiu, who is Xiaomei's favourite. I let my parents take a look today, so I can be happy for Xiaomei. "Wang Xiaomei talked with her parents for a long time.Ruan Mingqiu felt warm when she heard Wang Xiaomei introduce her to her parents in this way.

After the two worshiped their parents, they were going to go to the bank to get the silver and go back to the village.

"Is Miss Li the grandfather's wife?" Ruan Mingqiu asked curiously.

"Maybe, I never heard from my brother." Wang Xiaomei really didn't know that Li Yao was still there, and her brother was taking care of her all the time, whether her brother had other things to hide from her.

"Miss Li is also a poor person, but several years have passed, why didn't the grandfather take her back to the village?" Ruan Mingqiu continued to ask.

"Hey, my brother has kept all these things from me, maybe there are some difficulties that he can't speak." Wang Xiaomei sighed and said.Ruan Mingqiu patted Wang Xiaomei on the back, signaling her not to think too much, but in his heart, he also felt that his grandfather should not hide such a big matter from the second master.

"However, if anyone asks about what happened this time, we can't tell. The same goes for Huali and Huaniang." Wang Xiaomei suddenly remembered something, and said seriously.

"En." Ruan Mingqiu nodded, and understood the meaning without asking carefully.

The grandfather is not as relaxed as Wang Xiaomei and Ruan Mingqiu. The granary leaked water, causing heavy losses, and the management mistakes of the third family are also discussed by everyone.

"Food prices have risen a lot. The trouble we are facing now is that foreign invaders continue to invade. The official grain reserves are used in the army. Now only high-priced grain is supplied." The difficulty, in short, is that there is not enough money.

"Well, the fourth child has worked hard, you don't have to worry about the money issue, let's get over it for now." The grandfather gave him a reassurance.The Sidangjia nodded, and then wanted to ask how the investigation was going, the grandfather shook his head, indicating that there was no progress, and he would continue to investigate when Wang Xiaomei came back.The fourth family stood up and resigned. The grandfather looked at his back when he was going out, and a trace of doubt flashed in his mind. Since Wang Xiaomei was going to investigate the spies, he should start with the stewards and eliminate them one by one. Disappearance means that Huaniang is not alone but has a backer. Grandpa feels a little helpless. If this happens in the village, there will be conflicts. He should have made plans to deal with it. Since he has already entered the game, he should be a The best strategy is to be in the game.
