auspicious time has come

Chapter 97 Why did you fall so far?
The clerk quickly brought over several baskets of steaming steamed buns, several plates of refreshing pickles, and two bowls of mutton soup.

For a while, it was steaming and fragrant.

Before Hengyu went to get the spoon, he took a sip of the mutton soup with the soup bowl in his hand.

"Be careful when it's hot, no one will snatch it from you." Xiao Mu reminded.

Hengyu put the soup bowl down, and said with emotion: "Drinking soup in winter, the first mouthful must be hot. After this mouthful, the internal organs will be warmed up, and the exhaustion and coldness of the whole body will be relieved." Clean and clean...the so-called smoke and fire in the world are just so comforting."

After hearing her talk a lot, Xiao Mu persisted and added: "Common name, it's burning."

This feeling for the cow playing the piano made Hengyu think for a moment, and then nodded seriously: "...It's true, Lord Hou is already old enough to be an uncle, and it is normal to pay more attention to health preservation. But buns should always be eaten while they are hot , give it a try."

Xiao Mu looked at her expressionlessly, then raised his chopsticks to pick up the buns.

Coincidentally, the chopsticks in the hands of the two fell in love with the same steamed stuffed bun——

Heng Yu took the lead to remove the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Master Hou please first."

Xiao Mu was also polite, and picked up the bun.

She raised her hand again, but it was delivered to the plate in front of her.

Hengyu looked up, and saw that he had lowered his eyes and put another steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, and he bit off most of it in one bite, but it didn't make people feel that the food was not good, on the contrary, it was quite neat and pleasing to the eye.

Hengyu showed a slight smile, and stopped talking, and lowered his head to eat the steamed stuffed bun.

He took a bite and couldn't help nodding.

Lady Miao's craftsmanship is really getting better and better.

……

In the backyard, Mrs. Miao was standing under the jujube tree with Liu Xun, staring at the big black dog eating.

Until the two watched the big dog clean up the pot of bones and bibimbap.

Dahei, who was full, sat there, and turned to look at the two of them, with doubts in his eyes - what are these two people doing?
It's been too long in silence - Liu Xun thought to himself.

He took a deep breath silently.

"Miss Miao..."

"Mr. Liu—"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Liu Xun hurriedly said: "Ms. Miao speak first!"

"It's better for you to talk first." Mrs. Miao looked at him and said.

Liu Xun dared not disobey.

After hesitating for a moment, he said in a somewhat awkward manner: "The words just now... I know that Ms. Miao was just speaking out of anger, I... I didn't take it seriously, and Ms. Miao doesn't need to be pressured by it. And I understand!"

Ms. Miao was silent for a moment.

Didn't you say that reading enlightens you?

Seeing that she was silent, Liu Xun only thought that this topic was embarrassing, and immediately said another way: "Today's events are enough to see the true colors of everyone in Lingtang. Although family affection is the most difficult thing in the world, Ms. Miao still should Think more about yourself, don't be soft-hearted in the future..."

"Ah."

"Also Lingdi's death has nothing to do with Mrs. Miao, so it's definitely not appropriate to have a heart knot because of it."

"Ah."

"I'm afraid they won't let it go, and they have to be more careful. If there is any trouble, they must tell me——"

"Ah."

Liu Xun said everything he could think of, but Lady Miao just nodded.

Liu Zhubo, who felt a little cramped, began to reflect on whether he was too lenient. Seeing the empty dog ​​bowl when he was nervous, he subconsciously said, "Dahei...he eats a lot."

At the end of the speech, I felt that it was inappropriate, even the dog's appetite should be evaluated, so it seems to be more lenient...

Liu Zhubo was eager to say something else to make up for one or two, when she suddenly heard Miao Miao, who hadn't said much from the beginning to the end, speak.

"So, Mr. Liu's words are also out of anger? Or, are you talking too much?"

Liu Xun was taken aback for a moment, then hastily denied: "...Of course not!"

He said seriously: "Every word comes from the heart, and there is absolutely no lie—"

Meeting his eyes, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corners of Miao Niangzi's eyes and brows.

"Then aren't you afraid?" She asked, "Even if you don't mention Kefu, I'm a widow who has been married more than once, and you have a bright future. Are you really not afraid of being criticized and ridiculed?"

"What others say, life is your own. Since you are bright and open, you are not afraid of others' words!" Liu Xun's eyes showed firmness after many times of deliberation: "If someone really criticizes and ridicules because of this, such narrow-minded and ignorant people should be treated with The only way to cut seats is!"

The corners of Miao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked slowly, "Is it worth it?"

Liu Xun's voice also slowed down, but became more serious: "It should be so, it's not worth mentioning."

Lady Miao slowly let go of the slightly clenched fingers in her sleeves.

"What you said just now... the plague thing, is it true?"

Liu Xun nodded.

Mrs. Miao looked at the top of her head: "Then tell me, will we attract anything..."

Liu Xun: "The ignorant talk has no basis—"

While speaking, there was a sudden gust of cold wind.

Liu Xun coughed lightly: "The strong wind in the north is not unusual."

After the words fell, there were gray clouds covering the golden sun, and the surroundings suddenly became much darker.

Liu Xun opened his mouth: "It's just..."

A hand suddenly covered his mouth.

"Stop talking." Ms. Miao lowered her voice, "Maybe they won't be able to hear us if we don't..."

Liu Xun nodded his head twice in a daze.

Right.

You don't talk about strange powers and confusion, you should keep a respectful distance from unknown things, and you should not speak falsely...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help whispering: "Then you have vowed not to marry again before, so don't mention this matter again..."

Seeing his expression, Ms. Miao took her hand away and suddenly burst out laughing.

"I made an oath, but I didn't make any consequences for breaking this oath."

Liu Xun slightly opened his eyes wide - can he still swear like this?

In the next moment, the person in front of him asked him: "Speaking of which, you have known me for so long, when did you hear me get angry and say who would you marry?"

Liu Xun shook his head in a daze.

Could it be that the meaning of this sentence is...

Seeing that he was still acting stupid, Ms. Miao turned around and walked to the back room.

"Miss Miao, what are you going to do?" Liu Xun suddenly regained his senses, and hurriedly shouted.

Mrs. Miao didn't turn her head back: "Miss Ji said the pickles are delicious last time. I packed two jars of freshly pickled pickles yesterday. I'll go and get them. Let's bring them to Miss Ji later!"

we……

Regardless of whether she could see it or not, Liu Xun nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

Lady Miao's back quickly disappeared behind the door.

Liu Xun slapped his forehead violently.

What a fool he is!

Just now, he almost missed the important event of marrying a daughter-in-law!

What are you talking about in a fit of anger? Isn't this blocking other people's words?

Fortunately, fortunately, the person he likes is not an ordinary woman, and she doesn't care as much as him...

fortunately!

Fortunately!

Liu Xun grinned uncontrollably, squatted down, and rubbed the big black dog's head.

"We will see each other every day from now on..."

These words sounded normal, but the look in his eyes was almost like saying "Shout Dad, come and listen".

Under the jujube tree, the big dog, with its shiny and majestic black fur, was quickly trampled into a mess.

After Hengyu and Xiao Mu had finished eating, the waiter removed the dishes, and then saw Liu Xun and Mrs. Miao walking out from the backyard together.

Some things don't need to be said clearly, just a glance will make people have the answer in their hearts.

Seeing the scene of the two handing over the pickles, Vice General Wang, who had just eaten five cages of steamed buns, frowned again.

If it was just like paying a visit to the hall, now it looks like the husband and wife have a child and come to send wedding eggs to relatives!
First Dazhu, now Liu Xun——

Why did comrades-in-arms who once only talked about military and national warfare degenerate to this point?

What's even more frightening is that he has a vague premonition that the general will follow in his footsteps!
And all these strange phenomena were created after Painter Ji appeared in Yingzhou...

Looking at the slim girl sitting there with a face that is not like a mortal, Wang Jingyong couldn't help but have some weird conjectures—ghost?witchcraft?

When Deputy General Wang, who was full and panicked, was still worried, Heng Yu smiled and looked at Mrs. Miao: "I don't know if I can talk to the shopkeeper Miao alone?"

"It's convenient." Mrs. Miao said, "If Miss Ji doesn't dislike it, let's talk later?"

Heng Yu nodded and stood up.

Seeing Hengyu's figure disappear, Wang Jingyong asked perceptively, "May the general go back to the mansion first?"

Xiao Mu: "If you have something to do, you can go back first."

Wang Jingyong: "..."

This is not what he pictured.

……

It was very windy outside, and Mrs. Miao invited Hengyu into her room.

"I didn't even bother to tidy up the house, so Miss Ji laughed." Mrs. Miao said with a smile.

"How could it be that the shopkeeper Miao is also sitting?"

Lady Miao nodded, sat down on the stool, and asked softly, "I don't know what Miss Ji wants to say to me?"

"I know that shopkeeper Miao has a clear and transparent temperament, so I don't want to go around, but I just hope that shopkeeper Miao doesn't think I'm presumptuous—"

Holding the hot tea handed over by Mrs. Miao just now, Heng Yu warmed his hands and asked, "The reason why shopkeeper Miao bears the name of Kefu is because the five men who were married or engaged before all passed away after getting married. And in the past six years, such things happened one after another, did shopkeeper Miao feel that something was wrong?"

She asked the question in one sentence, and Mrs. Miao was stunned for a moment.

six years...

Yes, that's exactly what happened in six years.

From the age of 15 when she discussed marriage, to the age of 21 when she vowed not to marry again.

So Painter Ji didn't just listen to some rumors, but actually investigated the matter in detail?
Facing the girl's clear and serious eyes, she couldn't connect the other party's behavior with any unfriendly motives——

Therefore, she nodded.

"Such a coincidence, I am in it, how could I not have guessed it?"

Mrs. Miao sighed: "I tried to check something, but I couldn't find anything unusual. In addition, as time went by, everything after that was still calm, thinking that there are more than one strange thing in the world. It’s also everywhere, just think maybe it’s my own paranoia, and slowly forget it.”

"There is more than one strange thing, and there are even more strange ones everywhere—" Heng Yu repeated her words, and asked: "Is these words used by people around you to comfort shopkeeper Miao?"

Lady Miao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Hengyu asked again: "The reason why I didn't find anything unusual is that there really is nothing unusual, or is it because someone refused to give shopkeeper Miao a chance to investigate further?"

I don't know what to think of, Miao lady's back gradually felt cold: "Miss Ji means..."

　good night
