35. Superstition and fearlessness

Jiang Wan waited for a while and didn't wait for Pei You to say anything, and suddenly hated him for always spitting out, and didn't look at him, and said to herself: "It's time for me to go and meet my father." โ€

As she spoke, she raised her feet to leave, but saw Pei You stretching out his hand to stop her, with a determined look on his face: "Wanwan, don't go, you listen to me." โ€

Jiang Wan stopped and looked at him: "If you want to say it, just be simple, what are you doing?" I don't have time to spend with you. โ€

Pei You said: "I, I'll just say it!" Wanwan...... I've been thinking a lot about it these days, I, I'm sorry for you. โ€

Jiang Wan's eyes drooped slightly. The next thing he should say is to wish you happiness, right?

Pei You gritted his teeth and continued: "I know, you must have been disappointed in me these days, right? I just ran away, but I didn't let you know what I was thinking in time...... Wanwan, the life of 'Kefu', I was also afraid, but I also know how innocent you are. I...... My heart pleases you, and from this day forward, I will not be afraid of those words, and if there is any such thing, it should be upon me alone. โ€

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment and looked up at Pei You.

His face was full of seriousness, and there was indomitable determination in his eyes, but the tips of his ears were red, and his shyness could not be concealed.

Jiang Wan couldn't believe what she had just heard.

She heard it right, Pei You confessed to her just now, and told her that although he believed in Kefu's affairs and was afraid of her Kefu's life, he still liked her, or did he want to marry her?

The gloom that had been entwined in her heart for the past few days disappeared in an instant, and Jiang Wan only felt that her heart was pounding, as if she was about to jump out of her chest. She knew very well how rare these words were for Pei You. He is just an ordinary scholar in this era, his worldview is not much different from other people, and she has "examples" to prove her Kefu before, and he believes this, which is understandable. He believed it, he was afraid of it, but he still liked her.

At this moment, Pei You's status in Jiang Wan's heart was a little higher. There is no big deal except death, he is not even afraid of death and wants to like her, how can she not be moved? Even if there are still so many superstitious people in modern times, in such an era, he is superstitious, but he is not afraid of superstitiness for her. Whether he was lucky or not, she didn't think it mattered. It should be said that she was lucky, she met, hooked up, and fell in love with such a rare man.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Jiang Wan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Are you sure that you have thought it through and will not regret your decision today?" โ€

"I know, I'm sure!" Pei You affirmed.

Jiang Wan said: "What you say, I will take it seriously, once I take it seriously, I can't allow you to regret it." โ€

"I don't regret it." Pei You said, he has thought about it for so long, if he regrets it, he won't come over today.

Jiang Wan looked at him for a while, then turned her back again. She kind of wanted to cry, touched.

"Wanwan?" didn't get her exact response, Pei You was a little anxious.

Jiang Wan made up her mind, turned around and said, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will forgive you for dodging in the past few days." โ€

Pei You's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Then, then I'll go back and tell my mother, and then go to your house to propose!" โ€

Jiang Wan hurriedly stopped him: "Wait! โ€

The joy on Pei You's face paused, and he looked at her with some apprehension.

Jiang Wan said: "If you go to your mother to talk about our affairs now, she will definitely not agree." โ€

Pei You's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know." But I'll beg my mother......"

Jiang Wan shook her head: "Don't you know your mother's temperament?" Your pleading with her right now will only make her more disgusted with me. โ€

"That'...... So what's the best of that? Pei You frowned, with a distressed expression. Is it difficult to elope? No, he has always been filial, his mother dragged him to adulthood, and sent him to study, and even became blind, how could he leave his mother? He and Wanwan want to get his mother's approval.

"Don't let her know about us just yet, give me some time, and let her gradually change her opinion of me." Jiang Wan said. She knew that the ancients were not interested in falling in love, and they should be married together if they saw the right eye, but in this situation, if Pei You went to his mother to talk about their affairs, he would definitely be rejected, and if he couldn't get his mother's consent, how could she be with him? The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, without the affirmation of his mother, even if they are really together, it is not legal.

Jiang Wan is not very confident in the fact that Pei You's mother has gained the favor of the other party, but now that Pei You is already on the same front as herself, she has more firmness and confidence. No matter how hard-hearted his mother is, under her tireless efforts to please her day and night, she should always be able to be moved by that, right?

She knew that it would be a very difficult road, but Pei You's courage today gave her infinite strength to face the difficulties and dangers that might arise in the future.

"This ......" Pei You seemed to be a little hesitant, but he also knew his mother's stubbornness, and it was not easy to change his mother's thoughts about Wanwan, so it was indeed better to hide it for the time being. He thought, Wanwan is so good, and when his mother has been in contact for a long time, no matter how hard his heart is, it should be softened.

"Good!" Pei You nodded.

Jiang Wan laughed, more splendid than the mountain flowers.

Pei You looked at her blankly, and his face gradually turned red. Today seemed like a dream to him, he actually said those words, and what was even more surprising was that she forgave him.

"Nerd." Seeing his stunned appearance, Jiang Wan sneered.

Pei You blushed and didn't dare to look at her in embarrassment.

Jiang Wan smiled and said seriously: "I have always believed in Kefu. You don't need to believe it, it's just a coincidence. The world is so big, and you can even find blue crabs, why can't there be such an unlucky thing as me? โ€

The so-called Kefu is just the inevitable result of a large sample.

The fluttering words could not dispel the fear in Pei You's heart, but her words gave him some comfort and made his panicked heart feel more stable.

He nodded, and asked with a look of surprise on his face, "Is there really a blue crab?" โ€

Jiang Wan covered her mouth and sneered: "Of course there is." There are not only blue crabs, but also three-legged clams. What about the toad! โ€

Pei You looked surprised and sighed: "Wanwan, you know so much. โ€

"It's really nothing, and in the future, you will find that I know more than that." Jiang Wan said with a smile.

Pei You smiled and said: "Then I also have to read more books, so that I don't know what Wanwan knows in the future, and it will be a shame." โ€

Jiang Wan smiled and didn't speak, the things she knew, she couldn't see it when she read a book, the book would say that the earth was round, the composition of air in the book, and the molecular formula of the โ–กโ–ก?

The two were looking at each other, Jiang Wan's sharp eyes saw that someone was coming up below, and hurriedly whispered: "Someone is coming!" โ€

Pei You's face was in a panic, and suddenly the six gods were ownerless, and he didn't know what to do.

Jiang Wan looked amused and anxious, pulled him over and shoved him behind the tree where she was sitting before, pressed his shoulders and made him squat, the grass behind the tree just covered his figure.

Jiang Wan leaned back to the tree, lazily waiting for someone to approach, and her face suddenly became a little unsightly.

The people who came turned out to be Li Jincui and Xu Daniu.

Jiang Wan didn't want to pay attention to them, but Li Jincui's face changed when she saw her, and she said in a low voice: "Bad luck! โ€

The voice was not loud or small, just enough for Jiang Wan to hear.

Jiang Wan didn't seem to hear it, and when Li Jincui and Xu Daniu with complicated faces stepped forward, she suddenly sneered: "I'm not afraid of rolling down the mountain again and falling to my death!" โ€

Li Jincui suddenly stopped and glared at him viciously: "What did you say?" โ€

Jiang Wan's face was innocent: "I'm reciting poetry." Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives. โ€

Li Jincui looked puzzled, where could she understand ancient poetry? Jiang Wan's voice was not loud, she obviously heard Jiang Wan cursing her big cow.

Jiang Wan said: "Don't understand? If you don't understand it, it's right, if you don't know a few big characters, you naturally can't understand it. โ€

Li Jincui's complexion changed several times: "What do you mean?" You're just a peasant girl, how noble do you think you are? โ€

"At least I'm literate." Jiang Wan smiled brightly, "I can also read poetry." โ€

Although Li Jincui has a natural awe of readers, she can't get used to Jiang Wan's proud appearance, so she laughed loudly: "How about being literate, and how about reciting poetry?" It's not a Kefu's life, any good man will be so frightened when he sees you that he will turn around and leave! โ€

Li Jincui thought that when she said this, Jiang Wan would be sad for at least a moment, but to her surprise, Jiang Wan was not only sad, but even laughed: "Oh, so what? โ€

So what? Kefu means that you can't get married, and there is no hope for this life!

Li Jincui was annoyed by Jiang Wan's indifferent appearance, and snorted: "You know it yourself!" I advise you to find a nunnery and become a monk, don't harm others! โ€

Jiang Wan smiled: "Why? Whoever is afraid, he will go to the monk's house, why should he want me to go? Kefu's statement is nothing but nonsense. Xu Daniu broke his leg when he went up the mountain because he was stupid, and there was no other reason. โ€

"Y-What do you mean?!" Li Jincui said angrily.

Xu Daniu, who didn't talk to Jiang Wan on the side, couldn't help but look over angrily when he heard Jiang Wan say that he was stupid.

Jiang Wan said: "I said, you look up, my father and mother are about to come down, if they see you bullying me, you and your son may have to break their legs." โ€

"You, you ......" Li Jincui was so angry that she couldn't speak, she glanced at the mountain, and indeed saw Jiang Wan's family coming down the mountain, there were many people on the other side, and there was a festival, she was really afraid that she and her son would suffer, and even swallowed back the unobedient words that wanted to scold Jiang Wan, glared at her viciously, and pulled Xu Daniu to turn around and go up the mountain.

Xu Daniu frowned and glanced back at Jiang Wan, only glad in his heart, her current sharp-toothed appearance, which is still the Jiang Wan he liked at the beginning? Fortunately, he is now going to marry a delicate and lovely Bailing!

Jiang Wan saw the two of them walking away in a hurry, so she squatted down against the tree and said in a low voice: "Help, don't come out yet, my father and mother are coming over soon." โ€

Pei You obediently responded: "Okay." โ€

Jiang Wan said again: "Were you frightened by my appearance?" I can tell you, I am so willful, I am cheap and good, I have to be unforgiving, if you regret it......"

"I, I don't regret it!" Pei You hurriedly said, he was also annoyed when he heard Li Jincui's words, but he was never good at arguing with others, so he couldn't show up in this situation, so he could only listen to Wanwan fight back at Li Jincui by herself. He thought that if Wanwan wasn't so strong, he wouldn't know what she would look like if she was bullied by others.

Jiang Wan smiled: "I haven't finished my words yet." If you regret it now, it's too late. I've already given you a chance. โ€

"I, I don't regret it." Pei Youne said. If there is a little remorse, it is that his previous attitude towards her hurt her.

"That's for the best." Jiang Wan snorted, paused and said, "I'm going to the stream early tomorrow morning to wash my clothes." โ€

Pei You was stunned, understood what she meant, and stammered: "I, I'm ...... too"

Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing, this nerd, not so stupid, knew that she was asking him to meet.

"Then I'll go back with my father and mother first, you hide, and come out when we leave." Jiang Wan advised, "If they find out, they will definitely think that I am pestering you again." โ€

Pei You's face flushed, he didn't hate her past "entanglement" at all, and this time he was the one who pestered her......

Jiang Wan got up and leaned against the tree with a relaxed smile on her face.

Jiang Funian and his entourage walked under the tree, and Xu Fenggu asked anxiously: "Wanwan, I just saw Li Jincui and Xu Daniu, do they embarrass you?" โ€

"Mother, how can they find me rare?" Jiang Wan smiled, "When they saw you coming back, they were so frightened that they ran away immediately, just like lost dogs." โ€

Jiang Gu snorted and laughed: "It's really like!" โ€

Jiang Wan held Xu Fenggu's hand and said comfortingly: "Mother, don't worry, no one can bully me now." โ€

"That's good, that's good." Xu Fenggu smiled with satisfaction.

Jiang Gu said loudly: "And me!" With me here, I won't let my sister be bullied by others! Whoever wants to treat her badly has to pass me first! โ€

"Yes, yes, my good brother, my sister depends on you." Jiang Wan smiled and poked Jiang Gu's cheek.

The family went down the mountain laughing and laughing, Jiang Wan walked not far and looked back, only to see Pei You slowly crawling out of the grass behind the tree, tidying up his clothes, and waving away the grass clippings on his body. Suddenly, he looked up.

Jiang Wan took advantage of the family's inattention and waved at him.

Pei You also raised his hand a little stiffly and waved it at her, and then quickly put it down.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and went home with her family in a happy mood, already looking forward to the next day's date.

When going down the mountain, passing by the location where the Jiang family had been collecting wild vegetables, Xu Fenggu sighed: "Now this wild vegetables are no longer delicious, and I am afraid that this business of selling pastries will not be able to continue." โ€

"Mother, how much money have we made selling pastries during this time?" Jiang Wan asked. She was very happy to see the income that Xu Fenggu got back every time, but after watching it for a long time, she was not interested.

Speaking of this, Xu Fenggu's face was full of joy, she looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Mother has calculated, there are enough two taels or four dollars!" โ€

Jiang Wan's eyes were shining, and she said happily: "It's a lot!" โ€

Jiang Funian, who has always been silent, also had a smile at this moment: "It's more profitable than our farming." โ€

Xu Fenggu said: "It's not. I also have to lose this wild vegetable and don't need silver, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save so much. โ€

"Mother, then let's think about other livelihoods, right? Anyway, if we have money, we are not afraid of defeat! Jiang Wan said with a smile.

"You girl, where did you get the money to defeat you?" Xu Fenggu said angrily. She agreed with Jiang Wan's mention very much, and she used to have doubts about whether she could make money in business, but this success greatly increased her confidence. She thought, as Wanwan said, as long as you have the capital and courage, doing business is much better than farming. Now that they have the capital, they are bold when they succeed, they might as well think about the livelihood next to them, maybe they can really save the money to buy a house in the county! Then they will move to the county seat to do a small business, and they will no longer be angry with them!

"Boss, let's go back in a while and make a good total?" Xu Fenggu turned her head to look at Jiang Funian.

With this success, Jiang Funian's mind began to open up, and he nodded: "Okay." โ€

Seeing that her father and mother began to take the initiative to think about doing business, Jiang Wan was extremely happy in her heart, and whispered to Jiang Gu. said: "Little Er, do you see it?" We're not far from becoming rich. โ€

Jiang Gu felt that his sister seemed to be very happy today, but when she was happy to see that she had made money, she nodded again and again: "I saw it, I saw it!" We're going to be rich! โ€

Jiang Wan said: "When you go back, remember to continue to read and write." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Oh. Jiang Gu scratched his head and responded. Although he is now seriously learning literacy, he still doesn't like literacy very much.

Early the next morning, Jiang Wan went out with a basin of clothes, and glanced at the courtyard of Pei You's house from a distance, naturally no one was seen. She looked down and smiled, her heart was sweet, and she walked briskly towards the stream.

In the distance, she saw that there was already a figure by the stream, and her steps suddenly accelerated, and when she was about to arrive, she looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she squatted down not far from Pei You with a basin.

Pei You was washing clothes, and when he noticed someone coming next to him, he glanced sideways, and his face was a little red: "Wanwan...... There you are. โ€

"Morning." Jiang Wan smiled, "You got up so early." โ€

"Well......" Pei You responded, he couldn't say that he was afraid that she would wait for him, he came here very early, and was looking forward to her arrival while washing his clothes.

Jiang Wan sneered: "Help, why don't you look at me?" Do you think I'm ugly? She found that his gaze never dared to fall on her.

Pei You hurriedly turned his gaze and hurriedly said, "No, it's not!" Wanwan...... Wanwan you...... You're so good-looking......" Later, his voice was inaudible.

In the entire mountain village, Jiang Wan is the best-looking girl, if it weren't for the first two accidents, she would have married early.

"But you don't look at me." Jiang Wan pretended to be aggrieved.

Pei You's hanging eyes gradually lifted, and after staring at her chin for a while, his face turned red. I don't know if it's his delusion, but I always feel that today's Wanwan is more difficult to cope with than before.

Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing, and the crisp and beautiful laughter like a silver bell spread far away.

thought that in the past, in order to hook up with Pei You, she could only tease him as if she were nothing, but now it is different, he himself said that he likes her, so she can tease him openly. Seeing him blushing at her, she found it very amusing.

"Forget it, I'll spare you. Hurry up and do your laundry, or someone will come in a minute. Jiang Wan said.

Pei You nodded, and then continued to wash clothes.

Jiang Wan asked while washing, "Is your mother better?" โ€

"It's much better, I can walk a few steps today." Pei You said.

"That's fine. Your mother is also old, and she should take good care of her injuries so as not to leave the root of the disease. Jiang Wan thought for a while, and then said, "Then I'll make some snacks for a while and send them to your home, okay?" โ€

"Good ......" Pei You blushed.

Jiang Wan saw that his laundry action was still a little rusty, and asked, "Then I'll help you wash your clothes, right?" โ€

Pei You was just about to get used to it, and after reacting, he said, "This ...... It's not right......"

"There's nothing wrong with that." Jiang Wan said.

Pei You hurriedly said: "Also, I'll do it myself." โ€

Jiang Wan saw him protecting the basin and said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't rob you." โ€

Pei You relaxed at this time, lowered his head and continued to wash his clothes.

Because of yesterday's incident, Jiang Wan has automatically positioned her relationship with Pei You as boyfriend and girlfriend, so the way they get along is naturally different from the past. It's just that Pei You hasn't been able to adapt to this change, and he is still restrained for a while.

Soon, Jiang Wan washed her clothes. It's just that Pei You is not skilled, and his movements are not so neat, and he is still struggling with clothes at this time.

Jiang Wan saw that there was no one around, so she slowly moved over, sat on the stone next to her, and looked at his clumsy but serious appearance with her cheeks raised.

Pei You noticed her approaching, his body stiffened, and he forgot what he was going to do in the next moment.

Seeing him stay there, Jiang Wan smiled and said, "What are you doing staying?" If someone comes, it's up to you what to do. "After all, he is a scholar, and he will be laughed at when he is seen washing clothes by the stream.

As soon as Jiang Wan's words fell, she heard a human voice not far away.

Pei You's face changed, whether he came here to wash clothes, or he was in the same place with Wanwan's lonely men and widows, it was not easy for people to see.

Jiang Wan pushed him who was stunned, and whispered, "What a daze!" Stuff down, go! See you at your doorstep in a moment! โ€

Pei You got up in a daze, Jiang Wan urged again, and he woke up like a dream and ran away quickly.

Jiang Wan took his basin, pretended to be his own, and slowly washed it.

The woman in the village not far away saw that there was someone here, and wanted to come over to wash it, but after taking a few steps closer and taking a closer look, she found that it was Jiang Wan, so she changed her face one after another, and just pretended not to see her, and went to wash her clothes far away.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh when she remembered the appearance of Pei Youwolf bรจi running away. His external image, she always has to help maintain it, he is a scholar and has to do laundry, except for his family, only she knows about it.
