Chapter 61: The Liu Family Inn

The southern mountain road is very rugged and southward, and no one will go up from the south, except for a few herb pickers and hunters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The north side of info is directly facing the side of Luoyang City, and almost all of them are steep cliffs. It's like a natural barrier in the north of Luoyang City, and it is said that Luoyang City has never had a north gate.

Out of the Luoyang City Gate, I realized how far away the Wanquan Mountain, which seemed to be close at hand. Fortunately, go up the mountain from the west, the mountain road is gentle as walking on the flat ground, and the name of Wanquan Mountain is worthy of its name, three steps and a spring, five steps and a waterfall, although it is late autumn, the green pine is green and green along the way, and then you can hear the spring water dingdong, it is suspected that it is the season of spring flowers.

Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Yujuan had already put on a veil, changed into men's clothes, sat on the slide bar, and walked all the way to see the scenery. Zheng Yu followed Zheng Yujuan's slider, diligently helping the beauty pick flowers for a while, and helping the beauty fetch water for a while, and was very busy.

Seeing the sunset shining on the mountains, the glow tilts the mountains. The road ahead began to be slightly hazy. Hu Lingjun said to Zheng Yu: "There is a Liujiazhuang in front, there is an inn specially prepared for guests who go up the mountain to play, I have lived in one of them before, the shopkeeper has good skills, and the proprietress is still very clean." How about we walk a few steps and stay there? ”

After Hu Lingjun finished talking to Zheng Yu, he bowed to Mrs. Zheng and said, "What does Madam think?" ”

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Since Mr. Hu has lived in the past, it should be a serious place, so Mr. Lao Hu will arrange it." ”

Everyone followed Hu Lingjun and came along the mountain road to Liujiazhuang. After walking a short distance, the road began to be flat and wide, and there were a few pedestrians on the road, and the children who were chopping wood walked past them, carrying bundles of firewood that were taller than themselves. In front of you, you can see scattered thatched houses, and in the part that is blocked by the hillside, you can see a few wisps of cooking smoke rising.

Zheng Yujuan smiled coquettishly on the slide bar: "After walking for such a day, I just ate some food and drink that I brought on the road, which is really tired and tasteless, and now I really feel hungry when I see the cooking smoke!" ”

Hearing her say this, Zheng Yu asked Hu Lingjun worriedly: "Mr. Hu, how is the food in that store?" Miss Yujuan was hungry. ”

Hu Lingjun said with a smile: "The prince can rest assured, the owner of this shop has roasted a whole sheep, and when we were at the foot of the mountain, we had already let people go up the mountain first, and we came to inform the store to roast the whole sheep, and we were ready to receive the nobles!" Now, I'm afraid it's already baked, so I'm waiting for us people to eat it. ”

Zheng Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Zheng Yujuan smiled: "Hearing Mr. Hu say this, the slave family is so hungry that they can't stand it." She turned back to Mrs. Zheng and said, "Sister-in-law, we have roast mutton to eat!" The voice was delicate, Hu Lingjun listened to her deliberately delicate posture, and knew that she was because there was a Zheng Yu by her side, peeking at Zheng Yu with a stupid smirk and peeking at Zheng Yujuan, and couldn't help but smile, and hit the horse away from them, which would not affect their eyebrows.

Walking through a dirt slope, you can see a large courtyard with blue tiles and white walls in front of you, and a two-story building separating the front and back yards. The smell of mutton and scones wafted through the air, making everyone's stomach gurgle.

When they entered the yard, a few servants came over and helped put away the sliding bars, led the horses to the backyard stables, and fed the hay that had been prepared long ago. The two girls came over and helped Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Yujuan to the house to change their clothes.

Zheng Yujuan saw that the girl who was supporting her was wearing a red and black dress, her hair was very shiny, and she was cleanly combed. The hands and faces are tender and white, and the lips and teeth are red and white. Unlike the dirty village women who squatted in the corner of the wall to bask in the sun along the way, and the three or five who gathered together to point at them, I couldn't help but smile at her and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The woman replied gently, "The little woman's name is Liu Qiao'er. As he spoke, he helped Zheng Yujuan finish changing her clothes, and brought hot water to wash her hands and face.

Zheng Yujuan saw that she was diligent and well-behaved, more agreeable than the chattering girls she brought, and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to leave her, and asked casually: "Qiao'er, you are so cute, it's a pity in this wild place, are you willing to follow me to Luoyang?" ”

Unexpectedly, when Liu Qiao'er heard this, she fell to her knees and shouted: "Yes!" The slave is willing! Please save me! ”

Zheng Yujuan was stunned in her heart, she just asked with a casual smile, she didn't expect to ask about something, thinking that she was new to the city, and she didn't know what was going on, this girl was in such a family, but she could give birth so well, she must be loved by her father and mother, why did she suddenly ask for help?

She helped Liu Qiao'er up and said, "Miss Qiao'er, tell me, if I can help you, I will definitely help you, if I can't help, I can't accept your gift now." ”

Liu Qiao'er still bowed again, then stood up, sat on the foot beside Zheng Yujuan, and said faintly: "The slave family and the family in Sunjiazhuang in front of them made a marriage, they deceived the slave family, and when the slave family looked at each other, they let the younger brother come out, but they told the slave family to the elder brother!" That brother is a cripple! Now that they have made up their minds, their father and mother refuse to withdraw from the marriage, but they say that the slave family is entangled by some 10,000-year-old fox spirit, and they invited a fairy girl to come to the slave family tomorrow! ”

When Zheng Yujuan heard this, she was filled with indignation, she herself is also a daughter to be married, and she knows how important it is for a woman to choose a son-in-law to marry. How can you deceive a girl like this? This father and mother are also confused, they don't support their daughter, and they come up with such a reason to ruin their daughter! Maybe it was because he coveted the bride price of her husband's family, so she refused to withdraw from the marriage!

Thinking of this, the chivalrous courage of the northwest girl Zheng Yujuan was all aroused, she took Liu Qiaoer's hand and dragged her to find Liu Qiaoer's father and mother angrily.

Liu Qi and her husband Liu Dalang were busy in the stove house. Liu Dalang was busy slicing the roasted mutton on a plate, Liu Qishi was busy sprinkling the steamed sunflower with seasoning, putting the baked cakes into a small basket, bringing out the vegetable soup in the pot, and then going to cut the fruit.

The cold Zheng Yujuan ran in with Liu Qiaoer's hand, wanting to overturn the table or something to express her anger, but for the mutton flatbread, the girl held back and said angrily: "Boss Liu! What's wrong with you couple? How can you not help your girl withdraw from the marriage that should be withdrawn, and say that she is haunted by fox spirits? This is your daughter! How much does that family give you? This girl came out for Qiao'er, you can't marry Qiao'er to a cripple! ”

As soon as she shouted like this, the people who had changed their clothes and were waiting outside to eat mutton flatbread heard it, and they all gathered around the kitchen curiously.
