Chapter 180 They're lucky
"Why are you hanging red? After the young lady left in her bridal sedan, the old woman stayed at the temple for a while."
"Ah, why did this young lady marry in such haste?"
Shi Zelan listened very attentively. Shi Xiaoliu drew twice on the table with his hands. Shi Zelan thought about it and gave him a thumbs up.
“Why else?
If she doesn't get married quickly, her parents will marry her to an older man. ”
"How do you know?"
"It's not how I know this, but the maid next to this lady told me this.
Now that there is a young man willing to marry her regardless of her reputation, and the old lady can protect her, she will naturally marry him. ”
"Is this the only young lady in this family who is of marriageable age?"
“No, there are several young ladies, but this one is the least favored.
Others heard that the marriage has been decided and she will get married soon. ”
The guest's voice gradually became quieter: "Don't you think their family has been very strange recently? Those who can get married naturally should get married earlier."
Shi Xiaoliu asked Shi Zelan and Xia Yu in a low voice: "Do you want to sit for a while?"
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu and said, "Would you like to sit for a while longer?"
Xia Yu nodded quickly and said, "Let's have some tea. Their fruit tea is very sweet."
But the guests sitting in the teahouse mentioned other things, such as the weather this year was colder than in previous years and the snow covered several courtyards.
There is a yard on the east side that is not very peaceful at night, because the tenant recently went to stay at a relative's or friend's house.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu at the same time. He frowned and whispered, "Let's talk about it when we get home tonight."
After a while, the three of them left the teahouse. Shi Zelan took a deep breath and said, "Uncles are more knowledgeable than aunts. They know everything about other people's families."
"You also think they are not wrong?" Xia Yu looked at Shi Zelan curiously.
"I think it's pretty close. This family is not having a hard time. They are so anxious to take care of their children's affairs. I can only say that the situation of the elderly in the family is worrying."
"The last time we saw the old woman, she was in good condition. It looked like she could live another year or two."
After Shi Xiaoliu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers had said, and continued, "The old woman was weak before, no wonder her children and grandchildren had to make early plans for their children's marriages."
After they returned, Master Qiyuan and his brothers were not in the courtyard either. Master Decheng said to Xia Yu, "The courtyard you rented earlier was noisy at night. Your father and uncle should go over and take a look."
After hearing what Master Decheng said, Xia Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll go over and take a look at the situation."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan immediately expressed their willingness to accompany him. When Xia Yu saw that Master Decheng had no objection, the three of them hurried to the gate of the courtyard.
When Xia Yu and his group arrived at the Dongcheng yard, they happened to meet the landlord coming out with two men with swollen faces.
Xia Yu, Shi Xiaoliu and his two siblings stepped aside and saw the Qi Yuan Zhenren brothers each carrying a bag and leaving the yard.
After they came out, the owner of the house closed the gate with an unhappy look on his face: "What bad luck! If you don't want to continue living here, you should have told me earlier."
The Qiyuan brothers had nothing to say to the landlord. A few days ago, they came to the landlord and talked about the termination of the lease, indicating that the rent for that month did not need to be refunded.
The landlord said at the time that he could not find a suitable tenant for the time being, so he asked the brothers to pay more compensation.
Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers were not short of that little money, so they immediately said that they were not in a hurry to check out.
The owner walked away cursing. The two men with swollen faces looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan fiercely. They said to Xia Yu, "Little brother Xia, when are you going to bring your friends to East City?"
"Why, we came to East City for a walk. After you see us, do you dare to do anything to us?"
Shi Zelan was annoyed by the looks of those two people and confronted them directly.
She looked at the two people with an indifferent expression on her face. Shi Xiaoliu also sneered and said, "Are we someone you can mess with?"
The Qi Yuan Zhenren brothers exchanged glances and said to the three of them, "Let's go. If you have time, you don't have to pay attention to unlucky people like them."
After they left, the two men with swollen faces said angrily, "If we can't handle the old one, can we handle the young one?"
After they returned to the yard, the Qiyuan brothers told them what the two men had done. Shi Xiaoliu and his sister and Xia Yu were stunned.
Decheng Zhenren and Shanzheng Zhenren were used to it. Decheng Zhenren sighed, "These two people just don't have enough brains. If they want to buy someone else's yard cheaply, they shouldn't openly burn paper money in someone else's yard."
"Is the landlord going to let them go just this time?"
"Originally they were to be sent to the government, but the head of the village came to plead for them and fined them to clean the streets for three months. The owner had no choice but to let them go this time for the sake of the head of the village."
They all thought that they had nothing to do with the people and things in East City anymore, but on the third day, people from the government came to their door.
The two men died on the street in the morning, and the officials came to ask them about the situation.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan said that neighbors testified that no one in their yard had left since they came back the day before yesterday.
The government officials naturally went to ask the neighbors on both sides. It just so happened that Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan liked to stand outside the courtyard gate and talk to their neighbors.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng loved playing chess these days. They sat in the yard playing chess.
Qi Yuan Zhenren and his brothers felt a little bored, so they sat aside and watched them play chess.
Xia Yu was sitting under the eaves reading a book. When the neighbors passed by the gate of the yard, as long as they looked into the yard, they could see what they were doing.
The neighbors also said that Master Decheng and his group liked to go out and play, but they rarely went out in the past two days.
After the government officials left, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were very grateful. They never stopped Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan from interacting with their neighbors in a friendly manner.
Zhenren Qiyuan and Zhenren Qicheng felt that Zhenren Decheng and his companion were very shrewd and had a long-term vision and had planned many things.
Xia Yu said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "These two people must have offended many people."
Shi Xiaoliu sighed and said, "Fortunately you moved here."
Shi Zelan suggested to Xia Yu: "When you go out to travel in the future, you should stay in a busy place.
In a family with many high-ranking officials and nobles, there will probably be a lot of gossips. If they intend to plot against outsiders, it would be hard to guard against them. ”
The brothers Qiyuan Zhenren did not expect that they would encounter troubles one after another after coming to the capital.
Qi Yuan Zhenren said to Qi Cheng Zhenren: "We won't look for another place to live. Let's discuss with De Cheng. They have a vacant room here, and we will pay half of the rent."
Qicheng Zhenren nodded repeatedly: "Brother, I think they are lucky in this regard."
