C247 A Silk Flower

Gu Xin suddenly remembered that Mian Niang was following behind the group. She felt a sour in her heart. Although they were very close, she couldn't even say a word of farewell, which was even more depressing than when Mian Niang was Mei Family's daughter-in-law.

Gu Xing saw that his eyebrows were knitted tightly, and thought that he was just making things difficult for the Jiang Family. He patted his shoulder and comforted him, "You still have to think over this matter carefully, you don't have to be so worried."

Gu Yue raised his gaze, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. "I just don't know where to start."

Gu Xing thought for a while, "Speaking of which, when this matter first occurred, we were still young, so we did not know much about it. After it happened, the Jiang family became a taboo in the world, no one dared to bring it up, if we wanted to know more, perhaps only the person involved would know."

"The person involved? "You mean?"

"That's right, it's grandfather and King Rong."

Indeed, only the King Rong and the Gu Hou knew the most about it. Naturally, the people from the King Rong couldn't get anything out of him, and even with his grandfather here, Gu Xin couldn't guarantee that he would be able to dig out what he wanted.

It had been so long since he had seen his grandfather willing to see them take the risk.

However, if they really found out that there was an injustice in the matter, then the King Rong would become the target of public criticism.

After all, the Tutor Jiang back then was the example of all the scholars in the world.

The two brothers galloped all the way into the county, and only after a long time did the caravan slowly catch up.

They didn't dare to stay in the county anymore. The two brothers discussed and decided to rest in the next town. After the two sides met up, they continued on their way.

He only felt that he was getting further and further away from Mian Niang, and in the end, he did not make it in time to bid farewell to him.

Mian Niang did not have much of a feeling that she could only hear the sigh of relief in her heart the moment the Gu Clan convoy disappeared from her line of sight.

As usual, the donkey cart stopped in front of Tian Rusi's general store. Mian Niang went in to greet him, and since it was New Year's Eve, there were a lot of customers here. Tian Rusi was too busy to leave, she only had enough time to greet the guests.

Mian Niang told her to busy herself and walked out of the grocery store. Since they had agreed to meet here, the Auntie Tian and the filigree went their separate ways. Since Mistress Yun was here to watch the show, she was unwilling to walk on her own, nor to follow the two elders.

Looking at Mistress Cloud's childish look, Song Zhien pretended to be mature as he shook his head. Mian Niang laughed, "You really don't have a memory, and have forgotten what happened last time."

Mistress Cloud sneered, "Hmph, this time I want to see who dares to interfere."

Tian Rusi sent the guests out of the door, and when she saw the few figures that just walked out, her face immediately darkened.

He had his hand on his waist, wanting to stop the man, but due to the people coming and going in the street, he opened his mouth and did not make a sound. He twisted the kernels in his hand and returned to the shop.

After buying only a few things, Mian Niang had specially wandered around the streets a few more times. The matters of the Mei Family were already in the past, in a short span of less than two months, no one mentioned anything.

When it came to Zheng Dahu, it was really a pity that Zheng Dahu suddenly disappeared. The main wife, with the help of her own family's brothers, chased away a few concubines and sold them. Not a single one remained.

The Zheng family's shops were not doing well. There were already several who were closing up and heading out to exchange.

It was just that they couldn't find a suitable buyer within a short period of time. Zheng Dahu's disappearance was unclear, and no one dared to casually take over these shops, as they were afraid that they would be in trouble in the future.

Jiang Ting also told her to be at ease and not to worry too much about these things. Mian Niang felt that she really should listen to Jiang Ting and live a good life for a whole year.

A few people passed by Book Shop Qing Xi. Mian Niang looked at the signboard, and when she thought about Jiang Ting's words, she couldn't help but smile, because she really couldn't think of anything in her family that would require her to trouble her family. Jiang Ting's unease caused her to be unable to explain her feelings clearly in her heart.

Only, she felt that Jiang Ting was peeling the secrets on his body away from her bit by bit, making her feel as if she was getting closer to Jiang Ting whenever she saw him.

Just as he was thinking, his sleeves tugged, Mian Niang lowered his head and looked at his brother.

Song Zhien pointed to the main entrance of Book Shop and begged, "Sis A, I want to go in and take a look."

Mian Niang shook her head, she felt that everything she thought before was simply an illusion, she really did not know where she had gotten such a ridiculous idea.

At that time, Jiang Ting took out the dagger to let her defend himself and the jade pendant to keep it with her. It was also for safety's sake, to let his know that he was born here, and even to let his let his down his guard.

Mian Niang originally wanted to correct her own thoughts, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

"Sis A." After Song Zhien finished speaking, he did not wait for a reply and immediately called out again.

Mian Niang finally regained her senses and answered with a grunt. It was hard to say if it was out of guilt or something, she hurriedly pushed her brother to the next Book Shop.

"Let's go to another house to take a look. This signboard is so eye-catching, I'm afraid the things that are being sold will not be cheap."

In reality, the brush, ink, and paper she bought the last time was at the Clear Stream Book Shop, and the price was fair.

Song Zhien did not know the inside news, and previously, when he bought the brush and ink, it was all with the help of his family's master, so he took what Sis A said for real and walked happily to the next Book Shop.

Mian Niang heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. When she turned her head, he was met with Mistress Yun's scrutinizing gaze.

With his permission, Song Zhien had already opened the door to the next Book Shop.

Mistress Yun followed behind Mian Niang and whispered, "Why have you been absent-minded all this time?"

"Of course not."

Mian Niang did not know that she had denied it too quickly, and made others suspicious of him.

"Why not? Anyone with eyes can tell."

Mian Niang suddenly turned her head, feeling alarmed and uncertain.

Mistress Cloud turned her face away, "You don't have to worry too much. Other people don't know the inside news, so it's normal for you to see the Gu family's people in a bad mood. who would have thought that there was something between you and Gu Xin? "

So she thought she was thinking about Gu Xin.

Mian Niang shook her head and laughed: "Understood, now that she has left, I do not need to worry about him for the time being."

After he left, he would have to wait for the time when he will be able to tell his mother what to do. When Mian Niang thought of this, a layer of worry once again pressed down on her heart.

But when he thought about what happened to Brother, he immediately forgot about it.

Mistress Cloud's thoughts were simple, she had no worries when she saw her happy.

Song Zhien picked at the Book Shop for a long time, and in the end, only picked a book. After asking about the price, he was going to put it back if he found it expensive, which Mian Niang took and stuffed into his hands.

When he saw a man selling silk flowers on the street, Mian Niang stopped him. A silk flower was only worth a little money, but Mian Niang bought a silk flower made of Furong Powder and stuck it on her head regardless of Mistress Yun's refusal.

Mistress Cloud was originally delicate and pretty, but when she wore such a silk flower, she looked really pretty.

The silk flower seller treated them as a couple and said to Mian Niang, "Good eye, Little Lang. This flower is indeed the most beautiful one for a wife to bring."

As expected, they were once again treated as young married couples. The two female mother s looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Mistress Cloud mischievously said in high spirits, "With your blessings, the two of us will definitely love each other and will grow old."

The man who sold silk flowers was puzzled. After walking away for a long distance, he shook his head and said, "It's obviously a good thing. Why do you think it's so weird when they say it themselves?"

Mian Niang tapped Mistress Yun's forehead and scolded, "You're really making more and more nonsense. Say whatever you want and let others spread the word, you really don't want your reputation anymore."

Mistress Cloud was not convinced. "You're still talking about me? Why don't you talk about yourself? You bought the silk flowers and put them on for me. Everyone on the street is watching. If you misunderstand, it's because of you."

Song Zhien laughed: "I know, Sis A forgot that she was wearing men's clothes again. Sister Yun, if you did not expose her, Sis A would not have thought so much."

This time, Mistress Cloud caught hold of Mian Niang's weakness, "Look, look, sure enough, if there's anything that's going on, it's all your fault. Next time when I'm slandered, you're going to give me proof that I'm a good woman."

Mian Niang shook her head helplessly: "Those aunties are right, with your unreasonable character, only Yanzi can endure you."

It was unknown if it was because she had been told this many times, but Mistress Cloud did not care and instead felt pleased with herself.

Mian Niang took the money that Mrs Song Li gave him, went to buy a roasted chicken, and hit half a catty of wine.

Mistress Cloud was puzzled. "Your family hasn't gone to the Your Abba's grave yet?"

"I went, but Mother regretted it. She felt that it was too simple to buy some paper money. She wanted me to buy some good stuff, so we should go and pay our respects to Father."

Mian Niang paid the bill as she naturally carried the roasted chicken and wine pot in her hands.

Mistress Cloud caught on to the main point and said, "My aunt wants you to follow her to worship?"

Mian Niang nodded.

Mistress Cloud grabbed her arm and asked, "Auntie has forgiven you."

Mian Niang shook her head: "I don't know, but I think I won't be that angry."

Mian Niang was thinking the same thing as Mistress Yun. This mother was willing to allow him to go with her and pay her respects, does that mean Mother is willing to forgive her? Even if it wasn't a complete forgiveness, she was willing to wait for it to happen, little by little.

With hopes in her heart, she walked past the fruit shop and bought Mrs. Song some candied fruits that she had always wanted to buy.

Mistress Cloud teased her, "You've really made a lot of money this winter, to be willing to spend so much."

"This is the first time I've bought so many things for my family in the new year. I relied on the money I earned to filial my mother."

Mistress Cloud shook her head, not knowing what else to say.

After the candied fruits were packed, a few people came out of the bag and ran towards the grocery store.

Arriving at the entrance of the grocery store, Mian Niang saw the filigree and the Auntie Tian standing in front of the grocery store, stomping their feet to keep warm.

Mian Niang frowned and asked: "Aunt, Aunt, why don't you go in and wait. It's so cold standing outside."

A strange expression appeared on the faces of Auntie Tian and the others.

"What's wrong?"

Mian Niang felt that the two of them had a strange expression.

The Auntie Tian wanted to speak, but she was stopped by the filigree: "Nothing, there are people walking in and out of the house, we just stood there and got in the way, so we came out."

"How about this, that's good as well. All of you get on the car. We'll go in later and say hello before leaving."

"Mm, alright."

The two of them agreed and got into the car. A few of them put their things in the car and prepared a spot for each of them.

Seeing Mian Niang opening the curtain and walking in, Mistress Yun jumped down from the horse carriage and followed him.

There were a lot of people in the shop, but there were not even two people in the shop. Mian Niang only thought that the two elders were afraid of bringing trouble to the Lady Boss, and did not enter the shop.

The Lady Boss raised her head and saw her. Her eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, she saw a woman walking in behind her. It was Mistress Cloud, who had taken her arm earlier and left with a new silk flower on her head.
