autumn as wife

Grandfather heard Wang Xiaomei's words, took the list that Wang Xiaomei handed over, and took a closer look, and sure enough, the name of the head of Qingyuan Village was on it.

"Why is the third child's name drawn in a circle?" Wang Xiaomei said, pointing to Wang Hu's name.

"There are other circled ones too." Grandpa looked through the others, and saw that there were also a few circled names, and these people were similar to Wang Hu.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xiaomei looked at the grandfather in puzzlement. The grandfather shook his head and remained silent. He probably memorized the names on the list and put them in their original positions. The two brothers and sisters came out of the inner room. , I am not in the mood to have fun anymore.

All the way grandfather was wondering what was so special about Wang Hu, why he was the only one who was different among the four masters in Qingyuan village, those rumors in the village flashed in his mind, and the performance of the third master today, a flash of clarity flashed in his heart, could it be that before Thinking that this spy is the fourth child, is he wrong?

"Little sister, is the third child still living in that courtyard in the town?" Grandfather asked.

"En." Wang Xiaomei nodded.

"Let's go and have a look." The grandfather, brother and sister did not go back to the village directly, but turned around and went straight to the home of the third child.

The third family leader, Wang Hu, is married but has no heirs. He was a merchant before joining his grandfather. The reason why his grandfather valued him and let him sit in the third place next to Wang Xiaomei was also because he had been in the stockade all his life. He is conscientious and meticulous in everything in the village.

The two brothers and sisters came to Wang Hu's house and saw that only his wife and maid were there.

"Grandpa and Sister Mei are here." Mrs. Wang Hu said politely, Wang Xiaomei and Mrs. Wang Hu were very familiar and exchanged a few words.

"Today we came here to rest and disturbed my sister-in-law." The grandfather said with a smile.

"Wang Hu hasn't come back after eating wine, grandpa and rest first, I will ask someone to heat some ginger soup to warm up later." Mrs. Wang Hu didn't say much, it was only natural for the two grandpas to live here It should be nothing surprising.

Wang Xiaomei was actually thinking that Ruan Mingqiu didn't want to stay here, but his grandfather must have had a plan in doing so, so he had to stay here. Thinking of Ruan Mingqiu staying alone at the vacant room, he couldn't bear it, and a sense of lovesickness welled up in his heart.Wang Xiaomei originally wanted to rest directly, but the words Liu Zhao said today revealed that she still had thoughts about Ruan Mingqiu. Xiaomei urgently needed to know the answer, so she went to the main house unconsciously, knocked on the door, a maid opened the door, Wang Xiaomei followed her in, and saw Mrs. Wang Hu in the room.

"Sister Mei is here." Mrs. Wang Hu got up to welcome Wang Xiaomei.

"Well, brothers and sisters are welcome. I haven't seen my brothers and sisters for a long time. I wanted to talk to you." Wang Xiaomei said with a smile.

"Sister Mei, I don't have anything to entertain here, so I'm laughing at you." Mrs. Wang Hu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Xiaomei.

"It's okay, today is just talking about family affairs." Wang Xiaomei looked at Mrs. Wang Hu as a virtuous person.

"Sister Mei must have heard rumors that my family Wang Hu has a second heart about the village, so I came here today to ask about it." Although Mrs. Wang Hu is a woman and illiterate, she also heard these rumors in the village. Having said that, I have the courage to speak out about it today.

"The third child has always been loyal to the village, neither my brother nor I believed in this rumor." Wang Xiaomei clarified her position.

"My family, Wang Hu, also told me that making friends with these noble gentry is for the sake of making a living in the village. He saw that although the fourth child is clever, he is still young after all. This time he takes over these gentry and wants to manage it well." Wang Huniang's sentence sincere.

"En." Wang Xiaomei just responded and stopped talking, and the two were silent for a long time.Wang Xiaomei stood up and saw the painting and calligraphy sent by the county magistrate hanging in the middle of the main house.Wang Xiaomei saw that in the painting was a picture of a tiger descending a mountain, the painting was not bad, but the meaning was too revealing, it was not pleasing.

"This painting is exquisite." Wang Xiaomei pointed to the painting and said.

"I am a woman who doesn't understand these things of literati and poets. Wang Hu was really happy when he got this painting." Mrs. Wang Hu said with a smile.

"The third child is naturally happy." Wang Xiaomei said softly.

"Sister Mei, I don't understand something, and I want to hear what you mean." Mrs. Wang Hu heard the meaning of Wang Xiaomei's words, thinking that Wang Xiaomei must not misunderstand Wang Hu, Wang Xiaomei and her grandfather were of one mind .

"Please tell me?" Wang Xiaomei turned to look at Mrs. Wang Hu and said.

"Wang Hu must do this for the sake of the village, but those rumors come out because of this, and Wang Hu is often troubled by this. Sister Mei, who do you think spread the rumors and who wants to harm my family Wang Hu?" Mrs. Wang Hu told all the rumors she usually heard and Wang Hu's behavior in the past, her tone was very sincere, Wang Xiaomei was startled, and felt strange, since when did such news spread in the village.

"Brothers and sisters, stop thinking about it. I've said it long ago. Rumors will eventually be rumors. My grandfather and I have never believed them. You live your life well. On Wang Hu's side, you should keep talking too much, don't think about it." Wang Xiaomei It's true that she couldn't answer the question raised by Mrs. Wang Hu, but after this conversation, Wang Xiaomei trusted Wang Hu a little more inexplicably.

The grandfather came to rest in the east house at this moment. When the fourth family was in the town, they always left the main house to themselves, but Wang Hu didn't. Although the grandfather didn't pay attention to this way, he was still unhappy. Looking outside, the courtyard was as quiet as usual, Grandpa was in a mess, wondering if he was too suspicious.Not long after, Wang Xiaomei came to find her grandfather, and repeated to her grandfather what she had said to Mrs. Wang Hu, and her grandfather was silent for a long time.

"Little sister go to rest first, this matter can't wait and see, since the third and fourth are not sure, then let's make a confession, go back to the village, let's not make it public, wait a few days to relax our vigilance, let's call the brothers , all the stewards will search the yard together, and investigate directly.” Grandpa finally gave up the idea of ​​persecuting Wang Hu.

"Brother, isn't this too disturbing?" Wang Xiaomei really felt that this method was too simple and rude.

"That's why we search together, find a reason, and don't miss any of them. If there is any correspondence in the search, it will be the truth. You and I don't have to guess like this." The grandfather said with a very sure tone.

"En." Wang Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief, and this was the only way to go about this matter.

The next day the siblings returned to the village, so Wang Xiaomei went to look for Ruan Mingqiu immediately.

"Mingqiu misses me?" Wang Xiaomei felt relieved when she saw Ruan Mingqiu, and she was in a good mood.

"Does the Second Master miss me?" Ruan Mingqiu asked back.Just as Wang Xiaomei was about to answer, Hua Li came over.

"You two are so tired." Hua Li said sweetly.

"Where are you and Huaniang tired, I see you two kissing me all day long." Ruan Mingqiu countered.

"Where's Huaniang?" Wang Xiaomei asked curiously when she looked around and didn't see her.

"Hua Niang went to the town to get the medicine." Hua Li's expression suddenly became lonely.

"Does she often go to town?" Wang Xiaomei continued to ask.

"No, I just go there twice a month at a fixed time. Today, it happened that the medicinal medicine ran out, so Hua Niang just left temporarily." How could Hua Li allow Hua Niang to leave her often.

"Hua Niang has worried a lot about the medical center, and I think she does better than Li Er." Ruan Mingqiu also echoed from the side.

"Well, that's good, Ming Qiu, you have worked hard." Wang Xiaomei didn't ask any more questions after hearing what Ruan Mingqiu said.

"Second leader, look at me seeing you didn't come back last night. I was very bored, so I asked Huaniang to teach me a pattern and embroidered a sachet. Do you think it looks good?" Ruan Mingqiu took out a sachet from his arms and handed it to the second. At home, Wang Xiaomei saw a pair of embroidered orioles, they were very unique.

"It's common to see mandarin ducks and flowers, but Mingqiu embroiders a yellow oriole, which is interesting." Wang Xiaomei said after playing with it for a while.

"I hope to have a close relationship with the second leader and not to be separated." Ruan Mingqiu said shyly.

"Mingqiu and I thought about it together, but Mingqiu, it seems that such thoughts cannot be separated from the master overnight." Wang Xiaomei saw Ruan Mingqiu's sudden thought of a little girl, and she had the idea of ​​teasing her.

"Second leader!" Ruan Mingqiu was originally affectionate, but now he heard this guy say such incomprehensible words, he was very ashamed and annoyed, besides Hua Li is still here, does this guy have any brains?

"Mingqiu calm down, it's not that Mingqiu can't do without Ben, it's that Ben can't sleep without Mingqiu." Wang Xiaomei continued to tease Ruan Mingqiu.

"Wang Xiaomei!" Ruan Mingqiu heard Er Dangjia's words became more and more inappropriate, and directly called Er Dangjia by name.

"Second leader really miss sister Mingqiu so much?" Hua Li listened earnestly and came to join in the fun.

"Yeah, my miss for your elder sister Mingqiu is like a cloud of poetry, if you enter my lovesickness door, you will know my lovesickness." Wang Xiaomei said eloquently.

"Slick tongue." Ruan Mingqiu was still in annoyance at first, but when he heard Wang Xiaomei say that, he felt a little sweet in his heart, it seems that this guy really misses himself.
