pastoral fragrance

Chapter 56
As soon as Matchmaker Zhao left, Qiulin's expression became even more frighteningly gloomy.Pulling Mrs. Han into the west wing room, she said with great solemnity: "Mother, when Matchmaker Zhao came to ask for a kiss, did she make it clear which family she begged for?"

Seeing her little daughter's serious face, Han's originally happy mood also stagnated.Trapped in a burst of memories, Han finally said: "I didn't say that, when Matchmaker Zhao came to propose marriage, it was only a few days after we came back from Haitang Village. And your Aunt Qi also said that after a few days, you will find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. But What's the problem?"

Qiulin scratched his aching head, and slandered that this was a big problem!But she can't tell them that she can read, hey, it seems that the second brother has to come back!
All day long, Qiulin was absent-minded.It wasn't until seeing the second brother in the afternoon that Qiulin's heart dropped to the ground.She walked to the desk of the ancestors, saw that there was no one around, and took down Xu Dacai's Geng Tie privately.Show it to Qiu Song as if offering a treasure, "Second brother, look, this is a Geng post sent by Brother Acheng. The writing is so ugly. Unexpectedly, Brother Acheng looks like a human being when he grows up, and his handwriting is like a chicken. Caught it, so ugly..."

Qiu Song laughed: "Little sister hasn't been to school for a day, so how do you know whether this word is beautiful or ugly. Okay, second brother, come and have a look."

Qiu Song looked at it, but there was something wrong.His eyes were staring straight at the Geng Tie in his hand, as if he was going to stare a hole before he would give up.

When Mrs. Han came over and saw Qiu Song holding the bright red Geng Tie, her expression changed drastically in fright, and she quickly snatched it away, her tone much more dignified than usual, almost scolding: "Qiu Song, this eight-character matter is related to your elder sister's marriage. You have to put it on the table for three days before you can take it off!" Han carefully put the Geng Tie back on the table, and after putting it away, he saluted reverently, chattering endlessly: "Don't blame your ancestors, don't blame your ancestors... "

Qiu Song walked over quickly, and quickly took a closer look at the Geng post, his brows were deeply wrinkled, and he almost cried. "Mom, this horoscope belongs to Xu Dacai, the son of the proprietress of the grocery store, not Zhang Cheng!"

What!Han Shi trembled all over, staring blankly at her second son.Seeing that his eyes were red and there were some faint tears, he was so frightened that he staggered two steps and slumped to the ground. "You... What did you just say?" Could it be that she heard it wrong, how did it belong to Ah Cheng and turned into Xu Dacai?

When Qiuyue entered the room and saw this scene, she was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat and leaned against the door weakly.She never expected that this post turned out to be Xu Dacai!

Looking at Han's praying eyes, Qiu Song's heart hurts like a needle prick.But this is a fact after all, and it cannot be avoided.He silently lowered his eyes and said dejectedly, "Mother, yes."

Obviously these are two very light and light words, but at this moment, it is like a heavy burden weighing heavily on Han Shi's heart.Only then did she remember what her little daughter asked her just now!Mrs. Han staggered and stood up, with tears streaming down her cheeks, howling: "It's wrong, it's wrong...it's all wrong..." It turned out that Zhao Matchmaker's marriage proposal was not for Ah Cheng at all, but for the girl in the village. The famous fallen ghost!That person has the habits of a pig. He eats and sleeps all day long, and his body is fatter than a pig. If my daughter marries such a person, what hope does she have!
And all of this was caused by her momentary negligence, which led to today's situation, what should be done now...

"Eldest sister!" Qiuhe had just entered the house when a black shadow slammed into him. Immediately afterwards, he saw the eldest sister running out of the yard wiping away her tears.What's going on here?Qiu He walked into the main room touching his chest that was in pain, but saw that everyone in the room was bluffing. What happened?
"What's the matter with you, why are you all teardrops hanging down. Why did the eldest sister run out of the yard, did you quarrel?" Qiu Song looked puzzled, and he scratched his head blankly, his heart was bewildered. Surrounded by countless questions, what did he miss?
Han shi was only concerned with crying, but ignored Qiu Song.However, Qiulin strode towards Qiusong, with a tense and terrified expression, "What are you talking about, the elder sister ran away, it's too bad! Second brother, let's go and find the eldest sister!" Qiu Lin ran out of the house while talking.

The eldest sister is impatient, so if she is allowed to run around by herself, there may be some troubles.The more Qiu Lin thought about it, the more flustered she became.Once out of the yard, Qiulin watched the eldest sister run to the back of the yard.Qiulin hurriedly yelled loudly: "The eldest sister is there!"

Qiulin's sudden surprise aroused everyone's nervousness.Qiusong ran out of the yard first, followed Qiuyue on the dirt road.Qiu He followed closely behind, and Han Shi and Qiu Lin fell behind. They just turned a corner and chased after them, when they heard a rapid and sharp voice coming from their own fish pond, "No!"

Han Shi Qiulin and the two of them were startled, and ran over there quickly, "Don't do stupid things, don't do stupid things..." Han Shi chattered endlessly, his face was shrouded in infinite terror, pale as paper.

Qiulin was also frightened. She had said this behind her elder sister's back, but unexpectedly, she was bumped into by her elder sister.If the elder sister really has something wrong, then she is the culprit.

The two rushed to the fish pond, only to see that Qiu Song was dragging the dying Qiu Yue to the bank, and Qiu He was lying on the bank to pull them up.Qiu Lin also hurried over to help. Seeing such a situation, Mrs. Han was frightened into a daze. She didn't know how to deal with it. Only one line of tears flowed out.

Several people finally worked together to pull the elder sister up from the fish pond, and Qiu Song lay limp on the ground, panting heavily.Qiuyue jumped into the fish pond and choked on the water, and was still coughing desperately.Qiulin squeezed her stomach hard, trying to force out the water in her stomach.

The Han family was so frightened that they lost their souls and lost their souls. Seeing that the eldest daughter had been picked up now, she leaned forward and hugged her tightly, "Ah Yue, why are you so cruel? Dead mother, do you want to let the white-haired man send the black-haired man?"

Qiuyue opened her eyes with difficulty, feeling so regretful that she was about to die.She was so excited just now, it would be clean to die like this, but what about her parents, younger siblings?Won't you be sad?I'm just too selfish. "Mom, I'm sorry."

After returning home, Qiuyue felt a little hot from the wind and cold, so Han covered her with two quilts to cover her sweat and she was fine. "Ah Yue, don't worry, mother will never let you marry that rich man no matter what, just rest in peace and leave the rest to mother."

Han Shi was afraid that Qiuyue would commit suicide if she couldn't think about it, so she asked Qiulin to watch over her every step of the way.Although Qiuyue's diving incident is over, her marriage with Xu Dacai is still there.Mrs. Liu is that kind of cunning and cunning person, how should this marriage be withdrawn?For a moment, gloom hung over the Xu family.

When Mrs. Han came over again with the soup and medicine, Qiuyue calmed down a lot and drank the medicine obediently, but she didn't say a word. The face that had changed from laughing and scolding in the past was only blank, looking at it made people feel uncomfortable. Worried.Han's heart was ruthlessly picked up. If it wasn't for his own negligence, why would her daughter be like this?Now she didn't even think of a way to withdraw from her marriage, what should she do?
"Mother, didn't Zhao Matchmaker send Geng Tie to us for safekeeping? It is said that something happened in the family during this period, that is, the ancestors did not agree with this marriage, and the two families cannot become in-laws. Now what happened to our family It's a big deal, the elder sister almost died, we can use this as an excuse to reject this marriage!" Qiu Lin blinked and said slowly.

Han's hands stopped, and she turned her head to look at the innocent Qiu Lin, suddenly her worries turned into joy, why didn't she think of this!In this way, there is no need to quarrel with the grocery store, and the marriage turmoil is easily resolved.The dark cloud hanging over Han's heart was finally dispelled.Excitedly speaking incoherently: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of this... Ah Yue, did you hear that this marriage is not counted, not counted. You don't have to marry Xu Dacai!"

Qiuyue also burst into tears with joy. It turned out that it was so simple to dissolve the marriage, but she had to dive into the water desperately. She was so stupid!Qiuyue was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head even more, "Mother is worried, I'm sorry, Qiuyue won't be so stupid in the future."

Qiulin puffed up her cheeks and said sullenly: "That's right, there is nothing in the world that can't be solved, and impulsiveness and impulsiveness can't solve the problem! Sister, don't be so stupid next time!"

Qiuyue glanced at Qiulin's puffed bun face, and nodded solemnly. "Little sister, don't worry, big sister won't do it in the future." She was too impulsive about this matter, and now she regrets it to death.You just have to bury your face in the quilt, so stop scolding, she already knows she's wrong.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Han knew she had come to her senses.Seeing that the night is getting late now, it's time to sleep.Han got up and went to feed the silkworms mulberry leaves again, and then went to the east wing.

Two days later, Qiuyue was alive and kicking like before. Looking at the annoying Geng Tie on the ancestor's table, Qiuyue became very angry, and took it directly to the stove and burned it to ashes.

Early in the morning on the third day, Matchmaker Zhao came over.Originally, she thought that the marriage would go smoothly without any twists and turns.But when he suddenly heard the news that Qiuyue fell into the water and Gengtie was burned, he opened his bloody mouth in surprise. "How...how did this happen?" Among the matchmakers she did, there was no such troublesome thing!
Mrs. Han felt a little sorry for Matchmaker Zhao and troubled her to run around, so she said with a shy face, "We don't want to do this either, but first my family's Ayue fell into the water, and then in the middle of the night, Geng Tie suddenly caught fire, leaving only ashes .” Han turned around and took out a cloth bag and handed it to Matchmaker Zhao.Matchmaker Zhao opened it and saw that there was a pile of ashes inside, judging from the unburned corner, it was indeed that Geng Tie. "These successive incidents are caused by our ancestors telling us that the two of them cannot be married! After all, this is the wish of our ancestors, and the head of the family and I cannot go against it! So this matter can only end here. Zhao Matchmaker I'm really sorry." Han said seriously, wiping away tears.
