In spring in the south of the Yangtze River, peach trees are red and willows are green, thousands of acres of mulberry trees are in bud, and pairs of mandarin ducks are chasing each other in the pond in the yard, all showing the vitality of this spring.
Ziwei had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of nature. But her heart was so confused that she couldn't figure it out.
After dinner, while she was folding clothes for Hong Ying, she was thinking about how to solve the mystery in her heart and how to untie the knot in her heart. At this moment, Hong Ying came in and said: Look at you.
I have been looking frowning these past few days, as if I have something on my mind.
Ziwei didn't even raise her head and continued folding clothes. She said: Madam, to be honest, I am also suspicious. Where did the half of the jade pendant come from?
Hong Ying smiled and said: He has returned home, then you can ask him yourself.
Ziwei smiled and said: How can I have the nerve to ask? Hey, where did your jade pendant come from? Is that what you're asking?
Hong Ying said with a smile: You are so stupid. You are quite smart at ordinary times, but at critical moments your brain is full of water. Find an opportunity to get close to him.
Ziwei pouted and said: Madam, you don't know something. I used to hate him to the core when I saw him, but now I feel a little, a little scared when I see him.
Hong Ying asked in confusion: Are you afraid? What are you afraid of? If you still miss this relationship, one of them is unmarried and the other is not married. It should be too late to be happy.
Ziwei said again: Madam, to be honest, I assassinated him in the middle of the night a few days ago.
Hong Ying was surprised and said: You assassinated him?
Ziwei pouted and nodded helplessly.
Hong Ying grimaced and said seriously: If you make a mistake, you will have to pay with your life. Have you thought about the consequences?
Ziwei said: So, so now, I don’t know how to face him.
Hong Yingdao: Explain it to him carefully. I believe he will forgive you. Go, go quickly and help him get the clean clothes.
...
In the back room of Liu's courtyard, Xu Hugen was leaning on the bed with his head in his hands, not knowing what he was thinking. At this time, the door beeped twice.
Xu Hugen got up and opened the door. When he opened the door, he was stunned when he saw Ziwei. This girl who usually had a sullen face when she saw him, with her petite and exquisite figure, wanted to assassinate him. It was funny to think about it.
Seeing Hugen opening the door, Ziwei lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at him. She said: Here, these are the clothes you have changed and washed in the past few days. Dry them. Here, bring them to you.
Hugen took the folded clothes from Ziwei's hands, and then the two of them looked at each other. Ziwei blushed to her ears, completely losing her previous cold and ruthless feeling. So, she said with a smile: Thank you for your hard work.
Seeing Ziwei standing in her original state, Hugen said again: If Miss Ziwei has nothing important to do, she might as well come in and sit for a while.
Ziwei nodded slightly and then entered the house.
Hu Gen smiled and said: I have nothing here. If Miss Ziwei doesn't mind, you can sit on the bench wherever you want.
Ziwei played with the ends of her hair with both hands and reluctantly sat on the stool with fear.
Hugen smiled and asked again: Miss Ziwei's accent sounds like she is not a local.
Ziwei nodded and said: I am from Yanzhou Prefecture.
Hugen said in surprise: What a coincidence, Xiaosheng is also from Yanzhou Prefecture, so we are from the same hometown. I wonder which village the girl is from?
Ziwei felt a little more relaxed and said: Zhangjiazhuang is right there.
Hu Gen was even more surprised and asked: Since the girl is from Zhangjiazhuang, Xiaosheng would like to find out about a family named Zhang in Zhangjiazhuang.
Only then did Ziwei smile and ask: "Zhangjiazhuang's full surname is Zhang. I wonder which family you are asking about?"
Hu Gen said: I wonder if you know about the rich man Zhang Deming in Zhangjiazhuang?
Hearing him asking about his grandfather, Ziwei's eyes couldn't help but moisten. She even swallowed and asked, "Why are you asking about his family?"
Hu Gen said: To be honest with you, girl, Zhang Deming is the father-in-law of Xiaosheng Taishan. Not long ago, I went there, and the Zhang family had been ruined, leaving only a ruins overgrown with weeds. It's a pity. It's a pity. Speaking of which.
Tears also fell.
Ziwei was shocked when she heard this and burst into tears. The man in front of her was indeed a husband she had never seen before. She stood up and asked excitedly: What is the basis for this statement?
Hugen initially thought that Ziwei was talking about the Zhang family, which was also Ziwei's own family, and he was inevitably sad. But he asked what the proof was, and he said: "The mandarin duck jade pendant is the proof."
Ziwei then asked: Where is this thing now?
Hu Gen said: Liu's pawnshop.
Ziwei then asked: Why did it become such a precious thing?
Hu Gen said helplessly: It is a helpless act to repay the expenses for my mother's burial.
At this time, Ziwei's face was filled with tears, and she burst into tears. She threw herself on Hugen shakingly and said, "Brother, it was so hard to find you. I thought you were no longer alive."
Hu Gen wiped Ziwei's eyes with his hand and asked: "Then you are Miss Ziying of the Zhang family."
Ziwei nodded slightly.
Hugen brought a towel, wiped Ziwei's face, and said: Not long ago, I went to Zhangjiazhuang. Under the guidance of an elder, I saw a ruins overgrown with weeds. He told me that a
The fire killed all his family. In desperation, I had to come to Nanxun to look for my mother. Unexpectedly, my mother was no longer alive, and the Liu family paid for her to be buried. My mother is a married woman, so there is no need to spend money on others.
The reason for burial. What's more, no one in the Zhang family is gone anymore, so what's the point of keeping the jade pendant, so I pawned the jade pendant to pay back the money to calm my mind. Speaking of this, Hu Gen couldn't stop crying.
Ziwei also used a towel to wipe Hugen's face.
Ziwei suddenly pounced on Hu Gen, and accidentally touched Hu Gen's unhealed wound. She felt a slight pain, frowned, and naturally touched it with her hand.
Ziwei suddenly realized that this was what she did that night. Now she knew that when the scissors went down, he turned sideways and stabbed his left arm, and if God hadn't asked him to turn sideways, it wouldn't have been the right time to stab her.
Is it in the heart? Then the consequences are really unimaginable. I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing Hugen looking a little painful, Ziwei couldn't bear it. She stepped forward and asked: Is my brother's arm injured? Do you want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look?
Look, the medicine is applied.
Hugen smiled and said: It was just that I accidentally cut it, so it doesn't matter. At that time, it was common for people to cut their hands while cutting pigweed at home.
Ziwei felt a little sorry and insisted on accompanying him to see the doctor, but Hugen refused. He knew that if he took a look at Lang Zhong, the doctor would definitely know the cause of his wound, and then Miss Ziying would feel even more embarrassed.
It's better to just wait for a few days and get over it.
Then Ziwei asked: That jade pendant is now in a pawn shop. I wonder what my brother’s plans are?
Hu Gen smiled and said helplessly: Now that I have no money to redeem it, I can only leave it there temporarily. When I make money, it will not be too late to redeem it.
Ziwei said: I do have some money here. I have no use for the money my boss gives me every year and the pocket money my wife gives me. I should be able to count it.
Hu Gen smiled and said: Hey, how can I spend your money?
Ziwei smiled and said: Your money is the same as mine. I will talk to my wife and ask her to talk to the master and redeem it in advance so that they can get together as soon as possible.
...
Ziwei finds Hong Ying.
Hong Ying pretended to be angry and said: Oh, you damn girl, I don’t know where you went. I searched for you for most of the day and couldn’t find you.
Ziwei blushed, lowered her head, and said sheepishly: Just now, I, I sent clothes.
Hong Ying deliberately asked loudly: Who are you giving clothes to?
Ziwei thought to herself that it was your wife's idea to ask me to send clothes, but now she asked me who to send clothes to. But she couldn't refute her, so she lowered her head and stammered: "I sent clothes to Xu, Xu Hugen"
.
Hong Ying smiled and asked jokingly: Did you and him have any quarrel?
Ziwei shook her head sheepishly.
Hong Ying asked with a smile: So do you recognize each other? Don't admit your mistake. I won't be responsible if you do.
Ziwei lowered her head and smiled. She was speechless. After a moment, she hesitated and said: Madam, please tell the master, we want to redeem the jade pendant. I have it here and I have the money.
Hong Ying smiled and said: This jade pendant is here with me. You can just take it. It should be returned to Zhao intact. The master said that these fifty taels of silver will be used as a wedding gift for you.
These words made Ziwei very embarrassed.
Hong Ying took out a small box from the box and handed it to Ziwei.
Ziwei expressed her gratitude to Hong Ying. This chapter has been completed!
