Chapter 221: I dare not speak loudly

The woman in white sobbed, "Mother, I heard that women who married him never lived more than three years."

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. This marriage is settled. Don't have any other thoughts."

"Mom, I want to go out for a while."

"You can go out, but you can't go out with red and swollen eyes."

In the afternoon, the woman in white was finally able to go out and see people, and she hurried to the alley where the fortune-teller lived.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. The woman in white jumped out and was about to walk towards the alley when she saw someone coming out.

The two looked at each other, "What are you doing here?"

The two of them looked around at the same time, then pulled each other aside and asked, "Are you here to ask a fortune teller for help?"

"Did you go see a witch?"

The woman who came out looked at the woman in white and sighed, "Don't go. She won't see any guests today."

"I have something urgent to do to find her."

"I was originally looking for her for something urgent, but she was nowhere to be found. I heard that she was seriously ill."

The woman in white didn't believe it and rushed into the alley and to the witch's residence. When she was about to knock on the door, she saw a piece of paper pasted on it.

After she saw it, she angrily knocked on the door a few times. Someone opened a small door on the side, looked at the woman in white and sighed, "No chance."

The woman in white didn't dare to stay here any longer, so she turned around and walked outside. She said to her companion who came in with her, "Let's come back and take a look in a few days."

The people in the house heard the noise outside. The witch's daughter-in-law looked at her mother-in-law lying on the couch and asked, "Mother, do we have to leave the capital?"

"We have saved some money over the years, and we will sell this yard and live somewhere else.

We went east, lived there for a year or two, and then went back. ”

The daughter-in-law didn't dare to speak, and her husband told her that his mother might have met a master this time.

The fortune teller was very thankful in her heart that she had never really harmed anyone. At most, she could help people change their luck.

This time, she failed, and she had to leave quickly with her family, otherwise if someone came to find her, she would not be able to resist.

On this day, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu became a little worried. They walked around the yard two or three times and decided to wait.

After Shi Zelan came out of the room refreshed, she saw Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu in the yard, with a smile on her face: "I finally had a smooth training yesterday."

After hearing this, Shi Xiaoliu said happily, "That's great. Your cultivation has been stagnant for a while."

Xia Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You didn't covet the prosperity of the capital and left the capital a few days ago.

Sister Lan, maybe you can find your own opportunity on the road. ”

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Let's go out again. It will be beneficial for us to listen to more debates among scholars."

In the afternoon, Xiao Yingzi came to look for Shi Zelan, but when she saw the lock on the door, she turned back.

Aunt Liu saw Xiao Yingzi coming back with a disappointed look on her face, and said to her with a smile: "Xiao Lanzi will leave eventually, you should still play more with Xiao Qiuhua and the others."

"Mother, I know.

Xiao Qiuhua hasn't gone out these days, and I don't want to go to her house to talk to her. ”

"Don't you have other friends?"

"Mother, they all have their own things to do. They are all busy preparing their dowries."

"Xiao Yingzi, once your brother's marriage is settled, the family will start to take care of your marriage."

Xiao Yingzi blushed and whispered, "Mother, can I still go up the mountain with Xiao Lanzi to pick herbs?"

"Don't go out recently. The city has restricted travel now. It will be too conspicuous if you leave the city."

Xiao Yingzi understood what Aunt Liu said, and said with some envy: "Xiao Lanzi's master doesn't care much about her, and lets her go wherever she wants."

"She told you that her father and mother are still alive, but they are away on a long journey?"

Xiao Yingzi nodded and said, "Mother, I think what Xiao Lanzi told me is true. You see, she and her master were able to live in the capital for more than half a year.

It's not strange that her father and mother have been playing outside for more than ten or twenty years, right? ”

Aunt Liu thought about it and nodded: "They are different from us. They can see things that we cannot see, and their ideas are different from ours."

Xiao Yingzi thought about it seriously and said, "Xiao Lanzi never mentioned getting married."

The mother and daughter talked about other people's affairs for a while, and then brought up their own affairs.

Shi Xiaoliu's siblings and Xia Yu had already come out of the restaurant at this time. The three of them stood on the street, with unconcealable disappointment on their faces.

The scholars in the restaurant made them feel somewhat disappointed, or perhaps it was because they had too high expectations of them.

The three of them walked to the road where Ma Jing had walked yesterday, and heard someone mention that there was a witch living in an alley, who was very effective.

Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, do you want to go to the alley where the witch lives?"

"No, there was something going on between her and me, and I repaid it yesterday."

Shi Xiaoliu turned around and asked Xia Yu: "Where are we going now?"

"Let's go boating on the lake."

The three decided to go boating, so they rented a carriage and told the driver which lake they wanted to go to.

The driver laughed and said, "It's just the right time for you to go boating on the lake now. Those who went there in the morning have already left.

Now there are only scholars reading by the lake, and there are also idle cruise ships. You can sit on the cruise ships and enjoy the lake scenery.

If you are lucky, you can even ask the boatman's wife to cook fresh fish for you. It is very delicious and I guarantee that after you have tasted it once, you will want to eat it again. ”

As the driver muttered, the carriage stopped by the lake and told the three of them.

"You told me you wanted to take a walk, so you can walk a little further if you go in here.

If you want to rent a carriage when you go back, just go out from the east gate. I will also go to the east gate and queue up to wait for customers. ”

Shi Xiaoliu's siblings and Xia Yu entered from the alley the driver mentioned and soon saw a side door. Xia Yu handed a piece of silver to the old man guarding the gate.

The old man smiled and said, "It's too much, just give me a few copper coins."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Old man, keep it. Let's go in and take a look around."

"Okay, if the two young masters and young ladies want some quiet time, please turn to the left.

If you want to take a boat trip, just follow this path. ”

Shi Xiaoliu's siblings and Xia Yu all wanted some quiet time, so the three of them walked to the left.

There are many trees by the lake, and the wind makes the trees rustle, and there are birds singing from time to time.

Shi Xiaoliu took a breath and said, "The fragrance of the trees around here is pure and refreshing."

Shi Zelan smiled and nodded, saying, "It's a quiet road, and there are no people ahead."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "The lake water looks clean, and the road doesn't seem that dirty either."

The three of them walked slowly, and they didn't dare to walk too fast.

The path on the left was indeed as the old man said, very quiet, and one dared not speak loudly.
