Chapter 175 Weird
Little Yining was carried into the carriage with a hopeless look on his face.
Liu Zhenying waved her handkerchief and said goodbye to everyone: "Dad Lin, Madam Lin, don't worry, I will take good care of Lin Yining and Wang Gungun."
"Thank you, Miss Liu, for taking care of my Qingjie and Gungun." Wanniang stood beside her husband, a gratified smile on her face, watching the carriage go away.
"I didn't expect Qingjie's classmates to be so enthusiastic and would even take her to a flower-viewing banquet." Wanniang was still very insensitive and didn't notice her daughter's reluctance at all.
Lin Yuzan took her hand and said softly, "Madam, wherever you want to go today, I am willing to accompany you."
"Then my husband, please accompany me to the farm. It's the season for harvesting rice seedlings now, so we can go and take a look. On the way back, we can stop by Dongfeng Pavilion." Wan Niang had already made arrangements for today's itinerary, so she told him about it.
Lin Yuzan especially cherished this rare time together, and naturally had no objection to Wanniang's arrangement. He turned to look at Pei Yi and said in a cold tone: "The imperial examination is just around the corner, you should stay at home and study."
Pei Yi rolled his eyes disapprovingly: "I'm going to the farm to look at the sweet potatoes, Ada, prepare the car."
"Then let's go out of the city together. Although Ayi's farm is farther away, we are on the same route." Wan Niang suggested again.
Lin Yuzan glanced at Pei Yi and calculated the time. It was time to harvest. Last year, the sweet potatoes came late, and it took a lot of effort and money to grow them. This year, it would not be the same. With a large number of sweet potatoes for seeds, they could be planted on a large scale, and food would no longer be in short supply.
As the Liu family's carriage slowly drove out of the alley, a man and a horse appeared in the alley and followed them far behind, heading to Luo Lezhi's husband's home.
"Hey, why is Uncle Wang following us?" Liu Zhenying asked puzzledly as she lowered the car curtain.
"Of course she has to go. My cousin is the apple of our family's eye. She has to be watched by an adult wherever she goes." Wang Gungun said nonchalantly.
Liu Zhenying's body stiffened. Wouldn't that mean they would know that she lied to abduct Lin Yining?
"We are going to pay a visit to the Master, what are you following us for?" Little Yining angrily slapped the pastry out of Wang Gungun's hand and questioned.
"Oh, my cousin is not only the treasure of our family, but also the apple of my eye. My longing for my cousin is like a surging river, endless. I miss her so much after not seeing her for a few days!" Wang Gungun said, and threw a coquettish glance at her seriously.
Little Yining suddenly felt nauseous.
"Hey, you two, stop arguing, otherwise..." Liu Zhenying looked at Xiao Yining, then looked at Wang Gungun and continued to threaten, "I will send you back."
Wang GunGun: ...Why is everyone helping her?
Zhao Ya opened her eyelids, stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Gungun to the side, "Young Master, don't move around. It would be bad if you get bumped somewhere."
"Hmph, Aunt Zhao is still nice to me. Lululu, I don't want to play with my cousin." Wang Gungun made a face and sat down obediently.
Xiao Yining turned her head away and ignored this neurotic pseudo-child.
"Don't worry, cousin. My husband told us our fortune before we went out today. We will be fine." Wang Gungun was silent for a while, then couldn't help but speak.
"So Grandpa Qian would rather sleep at home than accompany you." Xiao Yining stabbed him coldly.
Wang Gungun: ...
Liu Zhenying glanced at the two of them and couldn't help asking, "Are you two twins, a boy and a girl?"
"No." The two said in unison and turned their heads in the opposite direction at the same time.
Liu Zhenying: …
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, this didn't last long, and the last person, Yu Ke, arrived.
Yu Ke looked at the two of them in surprise and wanted to ask something, but in the end he just said dryly, "How cute," and shut up.
Luo Lezhi's husband's home was not in a famous alley, but in a small alley in the east of the city, far away from Shangguan Doctor's Miaozhen Hall. Ordinary people and some minor officials lived here.
"Miss, this alley is too narrow for a carriage to enter. If you want to go in, you have to walk by yourself." said the coachman outside.
"So narrow?" Liu Zhenying said in disbelief. She turned around and looked at Yu Ke.
"The last time my father and I came here, we did walk in." Yu Ke replied truthfully.
Xiao Yining also looked at Zhao Ya. It was Zhao Ya who sent Aunt Luo back last time.
"This was originally the residence of a convicted official. He was later executed, so the official demolished it, rebuilt it, and sold it to someone else," Zhao Ya explained.
Xiao Yining: This official has a good sense for economics.
Liu Zhenying was also hearing about this for the first time, and asked quickly, "Why is this happening? Is there no one who wants to buy this mansion?"
"Too many people died, and there were too many of those things," Zhao Ya said implicitly.
A cold wind blew past the little people, giving them goose bumps.
"It's okay. I learned from Longhu Mountain." Wang Gungun took out a handful of talismans and stuffed one into each person's pocket. "Since you are my cousin's classmate, I won't charge you this time."
"My cousin is a Taoist priest." Xiao Yining explained embarrassedly, and the next moment a small hand touched her head back and forth.
"My cousin is so good."
Xiao Yining: I really want to beat someone up.
Liu Zhenying looked at the alley, which was not even five feet long, and hesitated a little. But since she was already here, she would feel sorry for herself if she didn't leave.
So everyone got out of the car.
The group of people walked through the narrow alley like a file, immediately attracting the attention of the residents inside.
There are quite a lot of people living here. Perhaps because the safety factor is good, every house has its door open. Many people hide behind the door, curiously peeking at these unique ladies.
"Aunt Luo's house is the one at the innermost." Yu Ke whispered.
It was also the first time for Xiao Yining to come to this place. She immediately felt as if she was in a temporary settlement made of containers in her previous life. There were all kinds of smells and debris piled up at the door. It couldn't be said to be dirty, but it was definitely messy.
Who would have thought that Aunt Luo would marry into a place like this? No wonder old man Shangguan said she was stupid.
At this time, several women passed by them and looked at them with strange eyes.
"The eldest son of the Xue family has been dead for many years. It is understandable that Luo wants to remarry. She is still so young. Are you really going to let her be a widow for the rest of her life?"
"It's okay to remarry, but she should never bring her sister-in-law with her to meet her lover. She doesn't want fame, but her sister-in-law still has to get married. Isn't this a disaster for others?"
"This Lin said a few days ago that she would ask for a chastity arch for her daughter-in-law, and look at what this incident has caused."
"That's not it..."
Xiao Yining stopped and looked at the women who were leaving with a frown.
"Sister Yining, why don't you leave? We are almost at Aunt Luo's house." Liu Zhenying was reminded by the maid and thought that little Yining was in a bad mood, so she quickly came over to hold her hand and said, "It's done. I'll help you with today's homework."
"No need, Sister Liu, I already did it last night."
"How come you write so fast?" Liu Zhenying looked at her in disbelief.
"My dad said that if we finish writing earlier, we can go out and play earlier. Sister Liu, haven't you finished writing yet?" Xiao Yining asked back.
"Uh... who am I? Of course I finished my homework early." Liu Zhenying replied stiffly.
Xiao Yining was too lazy to expose her lies, because Aunt Luo's husband's family had arrived. Yu Ke stopped and stood at the door in shock.
Liu Zhenying also pulled Xiao Yining over, only to see that the door was open, but the house was extremely dark. A woman was kneeling upright in the house, in front of her was a stern-looking woman and a tablet.
