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! "
"Father, that depends on who you are going to be my concubine, you will be disheartened by us wealthy merchants, but outer sect master has a great reputation, if you are willing to be my concubine, we Xiu Er will not lose, but will still be able to help me achieve my good name, killing two birds with one stone!" Xiao Hu was truly anxious, he had spent so much effort to get on the butler's side of Esteemed Master Wu's house, and after much difficulty, he was finally able to let the guard off and explain the situation to him, but Xiu Er was already betrothed to someone else, and even left.
Xiao Li's disease understood what he meant and immediately became anxious. He jumped down from the brick bed and said to Xiao Pao: "A little girl, being able to be a concubine for someone like that is a blessing from her past life. Old man, quickly get Second Brother to come over and get an ox cart. That's right, you can't let Second Brother go.
Xiao Hu looked at Xiao Pao, who was smoking with his head down. Xiao Hu was overjoyed, and immediately got his son and himself to chase after Xiao Xiuer with the ox-cart!
Zhang Clan and Xiao He sending away their daughter, feeling both worried and happy in their hearts. When Zhang Clan thought about how their daughter would live in the Kepin, and how it would be difficult for them to even take a look at her, their tears couldn't help but roll down their faces. Xiao He was also happy in his heart, seeing Mrs Zhang's tears, she unhappily said: "What are you crying for? Whose daughter will not go out, and who will be from another family? With the Great Bravehearts and Dazong's daughter-in-law taking care of her, what will happen? "
Xiao Huaer also said: "My big brother and sister-in-law are so powerful, and brother-in-law is able to earn money, my sister will definitely be able to live a good life, if only we can go there, then it'll be good. I also want to go to Kepin, and not stay comfortably in my house, that's right, Mother, sister-in-law said to let us live in that house, let's quickly pack up and move over, what if Third Aunt says something later, and don't let us live there?"
When Zhang Shi and Xiao He heard this, they quickly packed their things and moved towards the west wing. The whole family was busy moving, and seeing Xiao Hu suddenly bringing Xiao Xuewen out with him on an oxcart, Mrs Zhang's heart jumped, and quickly pushed Xiao He: "Xiu Er's father, quickly ask, what is Third Uncle doing? Why would you put on a nice ox-cart? "
Xiao He hurriedly walked over to ask Xiao Hu. Xiao Hu vaguely said that he wanted to go out to do some work, but he didn't mention Xiao Xiuer at all. Xiao He helped Xiao Hu carry the ox-cart around, and when they saw Xiao Hu bringing Xiao Xuewen out of the village in a hurry, they felt inexplicably uneasy.
Third Uncle just came back and he went out with an oxcart. Could it be that he was going to chase after Xiu Er and the others? Xiao He heard her mutter, and unhappily waved her hand: "What nonsense are you talking about, Xiu Er and his son-in-law's marriage is already set, if we didn't give our dowry money to our mother, how could we go back on our words? "Don't let your thoughts run wild!"
After Lady Zhang heard Xiao He's words, she relaxed a little, but she still could not help but look out, feeling that there was something fishy about Xiao Hu going out in such a hurry.
Xiao Hu thought that Xiao Da Yong and his gang were headed straight for the Kepin, so he naturally followed the official road to chase after them. Their empty carriage moved faster than Xu Hui's, so Xiao Hu believed that they would definitely catch up to them.
However, Xiao Hu never thought that Xiao Da Yong and the rest did not head straight for the Kepin, but instead went around to Xu Hui's home in the West Thousand House.
Xiao Hu and Xiao Xuewen chased for an entire afternoon, but were unable to find the slightest trace of Xiao Da Yong and the rest.
As for how Xiao Hu would deal with the matter of him agreeing to the external butler, it would be to fill in the hole he dug himself and eat the bitter fruit that he grew.
Naturally, Xu Hui and the rest did not know that such an unexpected turn of events had occurred.
Since they were in a hurry, Xu Hui and her group did not dare to stop when they were passing by the West Thousand Family Centre. They only stayed for a little more than an hour before meeting with their families in a hurry.
Xu Hui explained her thoughts to Xu Jingan and Xu Jingyao. After hearing Xu Hui's plan, both Xu Jingyao and Xu Jingan were a little excited. If it was really like what Qiao Jieer had said, it would be a great opportunity for the Xu family.
No matter how much Xu Jingyao and Xu Jingyao went with the customs, they were still different from the locals. From this point, Xu Jingyao and Xu Jingan's goal was the same as Xiao Pao, but it was also different. The Xiao Pao's goal was to sacrifice the lives of other children, and Xu Jingan and the others wanted the children to live a good life.
Using the two hundred silver taels sent by Xu Hui, Xu Jingyao and Xu Jingan built a house and made cellar room like Xu Hui. Although Ann's and Zhou's only weaved cloth with Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu everyday, they could only weave the simplest of cotton cloth.
When Xu Hui saw that everyone's life was not as tough as it was in the beginning, she was relieved that Xu Jingyao had come back and asked Master Flag to help him with the paperwork.
After making an agreement with Xu Jingyao and Xu Jingan, he told them to take advantage of Dong Ri's free time, and think up a plan to reform the marsh. After Xu Hui went to Kepin to look at the situation, they would think of a way to recommend them to the latter.
Then, Xu Hui pulled the Zhou's and asked them to take care of the house. The Ann's and the Zhou's both agreed, telling Xu Hui not to worry about them and to take care of herself. While Xu Hui and Xu Jingyao were talking, the Zhou's even roasted a few pancakes and made some eggs for Xu Hui and Xu Jingyao to eat on the way here.
Xu Hui reluctantly looked at her family and got on the oxcart. Xiao Dazong bowed to his father-in-law and raised his whip, ready to leave.
Ruigol and a few other boys suddenly chased after them. Ruigol raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Big sister, big sister!"
