Xiao He and Mrs Zhang did not believe in Gou Sheng's family, but had absolute trust in Xiao Da Yong and Xu Hui. They believed that Xiao Xiuer would definitely live a good life with Xu Hui and the rest. With this belief, Gou Sheng and Xiao Xiuer became husband and wife in name overnight, leaving out the marriage process.
Xu Hui stayed up all night, sorting out the big and small bags in her house, until both of the big wooden boxes were filled to the brim. Other than his family's luggage, Xu Hui also unpacked and packed Gou Sheng's family's luggage. She arranged the unnecessary pots and pans, and compressed Gou Sheng's things and his dowry into three big boxes. This time, the two families' luggage became five big boxes, one big box.
She was afraid that if it snowed all the way down there, she would put in another two bundles of firewood. She did not plan to just eat rations like Gou Sheng and persevere through the Kepin, even if they had to travel a distance, she still had to eat and drink well.
Wang Daniu's family knew that Xu Hui's family was going to the Kepin. Other than the items on Xu Hui's list, Wang Changwang had also sent over a set of sheepskin clothes and a sheepskin hat, he had been driving around for a long time and these things were all very practical. Xu Hui was extremely grateful, and gave the prepared menu to Wang Daniu, allowing Wang Daniu to call her Master.
Aunt Wei had also heard the news that Xu Hui, Xiao Da Yong and his family were moving to Kepin. She quickly brought her daughter, Yun'er, to help Xu Hui pack her luggage, also giving him a lot of dried vegetables and herbs. Xu Hui's eyes reddened. She was about to leave when she realized that she was reluctant to leave. After all, they had been living here for a few months and they still had feelings for each other.
Other than bidding farewell, Xu Hui was also making preparations for the journey. The loom let Gou Sheng and Xiao Da Yong take the ox-cart to Old carpenter's house and brought the cart here. Of course, she would tell the Xiao Pao and the rest that Gou Sheng bought it.
The carriage was made by the Old carpenter and had a very large space in the carriage. There was also storage space like a secret compartment, and there was a card for the furnace on the car board. Xu Hui was satisfied and put the red mud furnace into the card and tightened it, so she would not have to worry about burning things down while walking.
With everything ready, Xu Hui and her team, who had been busy the whole night, could finally set off.
Their luck was not bad. Today was still a sunny day, but Xiao Pao had actually already steamed buns and steamed porridge for them to practice on.
Xu Hui looked at Xiao Da Yong, who was eating a steamed bun with a complicated expression, and sighed. With Xiao Pao around, Xiao Da Yong's journey home to give away money would be far away.
Not even two hours after Xu Hui and Xiao Da Yong left, Xiao Hu strolled home. Just as he entered his own room, he was startled by the He's's shouts.
Xiao Hu couldn't help but ask He's in disbelief, ”What did you say? Xiu Er is betrothed? Why is it related to Da Yong? What Kepin? Who went to the Kepin? ”
He's was so anxious that cold sweat trickled down his nose, he could not help but pat Xiao Hu: ”You dead bastard, where did you run off to? ”Yesterday morning, no one was seen. I was worried about not coming home tonight, so I couldn't interrupt them. Did you know that this group of people is going against the heavens?”
”I think you've turned the tables on us, right? That damned woman actually dared to make a move on your man. Just speak slowly so that I can understand what's going on! ” Xiao Hu drank a lot of wine, his head aching.
The He's was extremely anxious, and could only patiently explain what happened yesterday in detail. When Xiao Hu heard that Xiao Xiuer not only made an engagement with someone, but also went to Kepin with Xiao Da Yong and his family, he immediately became anxious. Yesterday, he specially invited people to eat and drink, and wanted to make Xiao Xiuer his concubine, a concubine.
Xiao Hu anxiously ran to the Xiao Pao and his men's room with white eyes, and upon entering the door, he immediately called for an ox cart to help him chase Xiao Da Yong and the rest. The Xiao Li's disease did not know what Xiao Hu wanted to do in such a hurry, but upon hearing Xiao Hu's shouts, he hurriedly stood up and asked Xiao He to help him with the ox carriage.
The Xiao Pao stopped the Xiao Li's disease and asked Xiao Hu: ”If he's gone, then why are you chasing after him? Third Bro, where did you go yesterday? ”It stinks of alcohol!”
”Father, now is not the time to talk about this. Xiu Er is our big granddaughter, how can she just leave like that with someone else? What would others say if word of this got out? ”How can I meet people in the future?”
”What do you mean not knowing the truth? Why would it be shameful to follow her brother and sister to Kepin? What the hell are you doing? ”
”Aiyo, my dad, how can I not be anxious? Yesterday, I invited the butler from the outer sect of Blessed Garden's to drink, and said that as long as we can send Xiu Er over, the outer sect's grandfather will help me find a relationship, and guarantee that I will definitely pass this exam! ”
”What?” The outer master of Blessed Mansion? ”The Wu family in our town that has officials in the capital?”
”It's not just that, what kind of family is he? He's an Elementary Scholar with an impressive reputation, and my literary style is not suitable for those above me. If I don't seek connections with him, I might not be able to pass the examinations. Father, mother, do you see your son wasting away for the rest of his life?”
”But is that being a concubine? Someone knew they were going to poke us in the back! ”
