Flowers are expensive

Chapter 179 The First Order 1
Zhenshi couldn't hide her excited smile, and said modestly: "It's still early! I haven't passed the door yet!" After Zhenshi reminded her, Lihua remembered that the eighth day of August was the day when Moxiang and Tian Yisheng got married.She never knew the lunar calendar, so she asked Zhen: "Sister-in-law, I don't know how to read the calendar. What day is the eighth day of the eighth month?"

Mrs. Zhuang took the words and said with a smile, "What a great day! Mother is indeed someone who knows how to read the calendar, and the days she picks out are all double auspicious days. If there is a horoscope, and then a six, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Liu Liu Da Shun It's all over!"

Everyone in the yard laughed.Mrs. Gong came out with tea and said with a smile: "Yesterday my mother was still asking Yutao if she had embroidered the mandarin duck pillows for Moxiang. Don't wait for Moxiang to get into the sedan chair, and the thread hasn't been cut yet! "

"By the way," Zhuang took a sip of tea, pulled Gong and asked, "Did you tell me about Yutao and the young master?"

"That's not the case at all!" Mrs. Gong shook her head repeatedly, "My father said, the young master can live as long as he likes, and it has nothing to do with my family anyway! If Yutao is to be a child for him, he will die in his next life." Dream again!"

"But he's so diagonally opposite the door, it's not easy to say goodbye to Yutao again, isn't it?"

Zhen asked.Mrs. Gong sighed lightly, and said with a sad face: "Isn't it? There are gossips everywhere, even if Wu Matchmaker exhausted her words, she can't name a single family. Let the rich ones be left in front of me, and I want the ones who are rich." If you have no money, who can't be suspicious? They are afraid of marrying back, and maybe they will be seduced by that young master again. My mother sighed yesterday and said, my jade peach is so attractive, don't end up with Cao Cao. Meizhi is in her 20s and still can't get married!"

"Bah, bah, bah! Don't say such depressing words!" Mrs. Zhuang waved her hand and said, "Cao Meizhi has a wine pot father. What kind of family is yours? I can't compare it with that. According to me, the young master is too disgusted." Be kind, if I don't marry myself, I have to delay Yutao!" "I have an idea, just in case someone won't follow me." Lihua laughed.

"Hurry up and talk!" Gong hurriedly urged.

"Don't the Xie family have a ready-made one?" When Lihua said this, the three women shook their heads.Mrs. Gong waved her hand and said, "My mother said, it's better not to get married with Xie's family. They are good neighbors, if the birthmark on Yutao's body really hurts someone, it will hurt each other's friendship. Why not do it like this It's better." Zhuang Shi nodded and said, "Think about it, Lihua, if Mother wanted to, she would have made a kiss with Aunt Zhang long ago, I'm afraid the baby kiss is already fixed, why should we wait until now to worry? Mother It's because I'm worried about the birthmark on Yutao's body, and I'm afraid I've been tricked."

"I would like to ask, who spread the rumor about the birthmark?" Lihua asked while drinking tea.

Mrs. Gong shook her head and said, "Who still remembers this clearly? Anyway, there has been a saying since Yutao was born. Who told it, I can't find it now."

"Isn't that just a way of saying it? Actually, it's not that difficult..." Before Lihua finished speaking, Huang Ying and Man Xiang ran back holding two green lotus leaves.As soon as they entered, the smell of grilled fish filled the courtyard.

"Come here, try it quickly, the little crucian carp I baked with my own hands!" Huang Ying was wrapped in a light yellow veil, ignoring the beads of sweat on her forehead, and yelled like a Xinjiang aunt selling kebabs.

"Where did the fish come from?" Li Hua poked the fish with her fingers. Although they didn't look good, they smelled good.

"Manxiang went to catch it! There are wood ginger seeds in it, and the fishy smell is gone. You should eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold!" Huang Ying raised her hand to wipe her sweat, only to realize that her makeup had faded. "Decadent", he hurriedly went to the room to touch up his makeup with his face in his hands, which made everyone laugh while eating fish.

Man Xiang's eyes searched the yard, but he was a little disappointed that he didn't see Yutao.Lihua held the fish in both hands, raised her eyelids to look at him, and asked with a smile, "Brother Man Xiang, who are you looking for?" Man Xiang hurriedly looked back and said, "No... No one! You... Can you tell me?" Don't finish eating..."

"Why, brother Manxiang?" Lihua asked, blinking her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, don't keep calling me Brother Manxiang, it sounds weird."

"Don't digress, why don't you let us finish eating?"

"Isn't that... isn't it... I have to leave one for the fourth brother?" Man Xiang came up with such an answer after deliberation.

The fish in Li Hua's mouth almost squirted out, she pointed at him and said with a smile: "Brother Man Xiang, you will suffer a lot if you don't tell the truth! Who told her little brother coquettishly just now that she wanted to eat grilled crucian carp? You If we don’t say anything, we’ll eat it all up!”

"I..." Man Xiang said with a little embarrassment, "Eat them all, I'll catch them and roast them!"

"Is it so difficult for Xie Manxiang to tell you the truth?" Li Hua's lungs were about to explode, she pointed at the door, and told Mo Xiang, who was eating happily beside her, "Go, close the door!"

"Why close the door, Fourth Aunt?"

"Judging your little uncle!" Li Hua stared at Man Xiang and said, taking a bite of the fish.

Man Xiang asked blankly, "Why are you interrogating me?"

Lihua wiped the fish oil from the corner of her mouth with her fingertips, and asked, "Xie Manxiang, there are no outsiders here, tell the truth, do you like Yutao?"

"I...why should I tell you? I'm leaving!" Man Xiang was a little embarrassed, turned around and was about to leave.

"Coward!" Li Hua deliberately provoked him, "I knew you didn't have the guts to scold that young master Zeng behind your back. All right, all right, let's go, I won't mention it in the future Now that this matter is over, let Yutao marry Young Master Zeng as a concubine, or marry someone else, I won't help a coward anyway!"

Man Xiang stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned around slowly and asked, "Sister-in-law Si, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Sister-in-law wants to help you! But before helping you, don't ask whether you like Yutao or not? If you don't like it, then am I wrong? Don't you think so?" Lihua asked the people next to her .

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" These few were also gossip-loving, nodding repeatedly while eating fish.

Man Xiang is a bit machismo, if he were to admit it in front of these women, he would not be willing to kill him!Hearing what Lihua said, he was a little tempted again.In the past two months, he has been troubled a lot, not only because of the young master Zeng, but also because his mother has always refused to agree to the matter between him and Yutao.

Lihua looked at him with a smile, and asked with a fishbone in her mouth, "Brother Manxiang, do you think about it? You can leave if you don't want to! But if you leave today, my sister-in-law won't care about your business anymore. , you just wait to see Yutao being taken away by another man!"

"Do you have to say it?" Man Xiang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and asked.

"If you don't tell me, who knows what's going on in your heart? Will you die if you admit it? Don't worry, you and Yutao are going to get married, and everyone here is my own family!"

Those guys nodded cooperatively.Man Xiang was really embarrassed and embarrassed, and it was okay to ask him to work, but he admitted that he liked Yutao, but he couldn't say it.

"Little uncle, what's the matter if you admit it once?" Mo Xiang was anxious for him.

"Yutao didn't say she liked me, did she?" Man Xiang argued.

"Go to hell!" Lihua rewarded him without hesitation, waved her hand and said, "Okay, if you don't say it, let it go, and Yutao will get married in the future, so go hide in bed and cry!"

"Don't, sister-in-law..." Man Xiang immediately said in a begging tone, "I didn't say I wouldn't admit it..."

"Then do you like Yutao?" Lihua immediately asked.

"Happy... hi..." Man Xiang stammered for a long time, but he just didn't have the nerve to spit out the word "happiness".The people at the table all stared wide-eyed and waited for the next words, but they just waited for his blushing face.

Hong Ling's sympathy overflowed, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't force him, his face is red, it's appointed!"

"That can't be done!" Lihua clapped her hands and said, "I don't even have the guts to admit it, how can Yutao marry him at ease?" "Sister-in-law, did fourth brother admit that he likes you in front of others?"

"He hugged me on the street, do you dare?" Lihua smiled proudly.

The women and girls were taken aback for a moment, and then burst into wild laughter.Man Xiang also laughed, pursed his lips, and scratched his head again. Anyway, after doing all the small movements, he hummed two mosquito-like voices from his throat: "I like..."

"Can't you hear me, Brother Man Xiang, are you a mosquito?" Man Xiang's face turned even redder, he lowered his head, swayed back and forth, and finally uttered two words clearly: "I like it! "

"Oh!" Everyone at the table clapped their hands and cheered.

"Don't be so loud!" Man Xiang hurriedly waved his hands, "You can hear me!"

"It's no big deal if others hear it, as long as one person hears it!" Li Hua pointed to the kitchen and smiled.

"Who?"

"Yupao!"

"Ah? She...is she here?" Man Xiang's embarrassing expression was enough to make them laugh again.

"I never said she wasn't here! She's been in the kitchen all the time!"

"Sister-in-law Si, you... I, I... I'm leaving!" Man Xiang stomped his feet like a little boy, turned around, opened the door and ran out.

Several women and girls leaned forward and backward laughing, very happy.Gong turned her head and shouted into the kitchen: "Yutao, come out! What are you doing hiding? Everyone is gone!"

"I won't come out!" Yutao's voice was filled with joy and shyness, "You guys are too bad! You are making fun of me!"

"We're not bad, where did you hear that you like to go?" Lihua got up and pulled the red-faced Yutao out of the kitchen, and sat down beside Mrs. Gong and said, "When he said that, don't you feel better?" Already?" Yutao was so ashamed that she covered her face with her hands, twisted her body and said, "What's so uncomfortable about it? Sister Lihua, you are actually the worst!"

"Don't rush to praise me badly, you two will get married later, you have to thank my matchmaker for a red envelope!"

"Where did you say it went!" Yutao was even more embarrassed.

"However, Lihua," Mrs. Zhuang suppressed her smile and said solemnly, "Mother's test is not easy! She cares most about the birthmark on Yutao's body, and she said that marrying a poor family would be exhausting."

"A poor family? Who can say that Manxiang will be poor all his life? Who can say that Young Master Zeng will be rich all his life? Those are all gossips from everyone! The birthmark on Yutao's body is not Lei Jiakefu, It's clearly Wang Fu Wang Cai!"

"But tell me, mother won't believe it."

"I said no, the whole village's wives and mothers-in-law say that, she should believe it, right?" Lihua said with a sly smile. "How is that possible?" Yutao put down her hands and said in surprise, "Sister Lihua, what's your idea?"

"Don't worry, you will know later! The eyes of the masses are discerning, and the power of the masses is infinite."

At this moment, Yuan Yin came back.Holding a fish, Lihua followed him into the room and asked, "Why did you find grandma? What did you tell her?"

Seeing her oily mouth, Yuan Yin couldn't help but took out her handkerchief and wiped it for her with a smile: "I didn't say anything, I just chatted with her."
