Seven Fields picked up the white bun on the ground and walked back with a limp. Her little brother was waiting at the door and her sister told him not to move, so he just stood at the door and didn't go anywhere. When she saw her sister walk towards him with a smile on her face, she was very surprised.
"Didn't that evil woman bully you?"
"No, I said it already, no one is allowed to bully us siblings, what about it?" You don't believe what your sister said? " Feng Qi bent down and gave the bun that had its skin peeled off to his little brother, patting his head.
Little Brother Feng looked at his sister's messy hair that had been tidied up. He reached out to pick up the dried up leaves, and said with a smile: "I believe you. I have always trusted you."
"Eat!" Eat it, quickly grow up! "
"Yes, I need to grow up quickly and protect my sister!" Little Brother Feng bit a piece of the white bun and said unclearly.
"But elder sister, if you touch my head again, I might really not be able to grow any longer."
Feng Qi laughed out loud: "Good good good, sister won't touch anymore!" However, this sentence was spoken while stroking his little brother's head.
Little Brother Feng was chewing on the most delicious white bun in the world and felt very relieved.
The next morning, Yang Lan waited until July and then quickly got out of bed to pack up. She planned to go to the mountain ditch village and tell that dumb cow kid that she had sold July.
But as soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw a group of people carrying palanquins towards her house. She recognized the servant of the patron of Peach Blossom Village, Chang Nian.
A tall servant walked in front of Yang Orchid, looked down at her and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, we are the servants of Master Gu, we came to pick up Young Master and marry him in July, do you think we can call him now?"
Wealthy people were always better at handling matters than poor people. Even servants knew how to move forward and move backward day after day. Even if they looked down on Yang Lan, their eyes were full of contempt. However, what they said had given her enough face.
Yang Hua was sizing up the group of people, feeling very displeased in her heart. I was just about to make a fortune, and then you guys came. Humph, don't even think about it!
She pointed at the crowd and said loudly, "You guys want to pick it up just because you said so? Why should I? "
"The marriage between these two families was already set by Uncle Feng when he was still alive. Did he not mention it to you?" The servant suppressed his anger and continued to patiently explain.
Yang Hua pondered for a moment. It really was like that. Before she left, her father-in-law did say that the Gu family would come pick up Feng Qi in a year's time, but she couldn't let the duck she got fly for nothing.
"No!" I've never heard of such a thing! " "Do you think you can just pick her up with a few words? Who is this? Do you think you can just pick up my sister with your mouth?"
He tiptoed and looked at the people behind the servant. "I won't allow this. What else can you do?" Do you really think that the laws of this world are gone just because you're rich? "
The servant looked at the shameless woman in front of him, unable to contain his anger. "If you don't give me face and refuse it, then we …"
"Gu San, don't be rude!" A crisp but weak voice came from the sedan chair, interrupting the servant's words.
The curtain was lifted, and a thin man dressed in scholarly robes came down. He held Gu San with his right hand, while his left hand held a handkerchief to his mouth and nose. His face was pale, as if he was in white, and weak to the point of being unable to withstand the wind.
"Yang family's sister-in-law, it was our fault, we were rude. We didn't inform you before suddenly visiting, it's our fault, please forgive us." Although the man's words were polite, his tone was not the least bit weak. It was completely different from the weakness of his body.
"Cough …" Cough … "Cough …"
As soon as the man finished speaking, he began to cough. He quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief. His knuckles had already turned white. It was obvious that he was enduring the pain very painstakingly.
Looking at the sickly, delicate, and elegant man in front of her, Yang Hua thought to herself. Gu ChangNian had given birth to a sickly waste who knew how to read books. His name was Gu Qingzhang. Looks like the rumors were true.
"You're pretty good at talking, but you want to take him away with you with just a few words, don't even think about it! Go out and find out who I, Yang Orchid, was afraid of! "
A hint of unhappiness flashed in Gu Qing Zhang's eyes, but he quickly covered it up. With a cold tone, he said, "Hehe, the Yang family's sister-in-law has misunderstood us. We are not here to rob them, the year Uncle Feng came to borrow silver from us, he had signed a contract to sell our lives." He then took out a piece of paper and smiled, "This is the contract from back then. Please look at it."
The combination of a scholar's elegance and the tactful skill of a rich family makes one sigh at the depth of Gu Qingzhang's shrewdness. Besides, what the scholar said was tactful. It was obviously a matter of selling his daughter, but when it came to him, it became a matter of borrowing money.
Yang Lan took the indenture contract and glanced at it, then stopped looking at it. How many girls from poor backgrounds could read? She started to stutter, but after some thought, she came up with an idea. What she knew best was that she did not understand anything. Just as she was about to speak, a voice came from the side.
"Brother April!" You're here too? "
With a face full of surprise, Feng Qi ran forward and hugged Gu Qing Zhang tightly.
Everyone was stunned by Feng Zhiling's actions. This girl was too shameless. She would hug a man in broad daylight …
"Cough …" Cough … Cough … "Auntie …" Mother, girl, quick... "Let go …" Gu Qingzhang felt like he couldn't breathe. If he didn't let go now, he was going to die.
Gu San was the first to react, he pulled away Seven Moons, and supported Gu Qingzhang, "Young Master, are you alright? "Young Master!"
Gu Qingzhang took a deep breath and swallowed his saliva. He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't hurt that girl." Even though he was on the verge of death, he still said not to hurt the girl. It was like how Liu Bei threw Ah Dou in exchange for Zhao Yun's determination. Gu Qingzhang was such a good person.
Seeing the weakened Gu Qingzhang, Feng Qi wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Gu San. She said anxiously: "Brother April, it's me! It's July!" She saw that the wind in the October group of this man's former comrade looked exactly the same.
"What April? This is my Young Master Gu Qingzhang!" "Where did you get that wild girl from, get lost!" Gu San said as he glared at Feng Qi.
Gu Qingzhang caught his breath and waved Gu San behind him. "This lady, you said your name is July just now. Are you Feng July?"
As she looked at the familiar face, she could feel a strange aura coming from it. She nodded dumbly.
When Gu Qingzhang saw the woman nod, he revealed a faint smile.
