Chapter 35: pastry
Regarding the case of blatantly forcibly robbing a civilian **** the street that caused a wave of waves some time ago, Lin Qingxu later heard Su Rong occasionally mention it.
It was said that Zhang, who was beaten by Su Rong in the street, had a nosebleed on his body and actually had a marriage contract with the Cui family.
The gist of it is that Cui Yuying's biological father, Cui Shengyu, "sold" his daughter to the hooligan Zhang Quan for five hundred taels of silver. And they signed their names and handprints, obviously they were well prepared.
It is said that when the villagers of Qianyuan Village learned that the Cui and Zhang families were engaged, they all sighed and felt that a delicate flower had been inserted into the cow dung.
Cui Shengyu is a local squire. Those who have been in the official field of poetry and literature are always admired by ignorant villagers. Cui Shengyu returned to his hometown when he was young and inherited a large amount of his family's fields. Business, active at hand, has a lot of face in the town.
On the other hand, Zhang Quan is an out-and-out scoundrel in the neighboring village of Qianyuan Village.
Zhang Quan's parents died when he was young, so he had enough food for his family. Shouldn't he be expelled?
However, he also had an uncle who never died.
His uncle, Zhang Qi, was the county magistrate in Shangu Town. Coincidentally, Shangu Town was in charge of these two villages.
Shangu Town is far away from poor people, and the county magistrate sent here is totally out of tune. He doesn't care if Zhang Quan does anything wrong, Zhang Quan complains casually, and the person who complains will be guaranteed bad luck.
Therefore, after learning about the marriage of the Zhang and Cui families, everyone thought that the Cui family had provoked Zhang Quan for some reason.
However, after only three months of engagement, the Cui family suddenly regretted the marriage and returned all the betrothal gifts sent by Zhang Quan.
Before everyone could feel that Cui Shengyu acted decisively, Cui Shengyu had already left Qianyuan Village with Cui Yuying.
It happened to move to the Lotus Village, which is a hundred miles away.
The matter of the "500 taels trade", the Zhang Cui family was naturally not stupid enough to make it public, but it was later learned that Cui Shengyu had indeed returned the betrothal gift, and the 500 taels of silver had not been returned at all.
Cui Shengyu ran away with his daughter and a large number of banknotes, but he forgot that the evidence of the crime was still in the hands of others... Therefore, there was the incident of "robbing a civilian girl" in the town later.
From the perspective of a third party, Lin Qingxu was very pitiful about what happened to the little white flower.
However, pitiful but pitiful, the matter was resolved, Cui Yuying should thank the government, thank the father who finally found out that he didn't want to sell her, and even thank Su Rong who beat Zhang Quan madly in the street, thank Lin Qingxu and Su Yan... She is idle Are you panicking?
Lin Qingxu had to wonder if Xiao Baihua's brain was born with fewer tendons than normal people, or was it more nervous than normal?
With this suspicion, Lin Qingxu refused Su Yan to go with him, and went out to meet Cui Yuying alone.
The place to meet was in the pavilion in the yard. When Lin Qingxu went out, he saw Cui Yuying standing in the same place, hesitant and frustrated, as weak as a ray of sunlight could tan her.
"Sister Lin." Seeing her, Cui Yuying's eyes suddenly glowed.
Lin Qingxu's heart tightened, and there was an illusion that what she saw was not herself, but the savior.
She adjusted her mind and stepped into the pavilion. She went straight to the point: "What are you doing here with me today?"
However, Cui Yuying replied immediately, her eyes drifted down beside her, and seeing that there was no one else behind her except Fang Yin, her eyes flashed with disappointment.
The blue veins on Lin Qingxu's forehead jumped.
She was about to be vomited and fainted by the little white flower who did this!
The distance she walked from the house was not a hundred meters, but a few dozen meters, right? Cui Yuying couldn't see people clearly for one meter, and pretended to be blind after ten meters. What is this?
Lin Qingxu clenched her fists together, she suppressed the slander in her head, and sat on the stone bench.
Cui Yuying lowered her head and sat down beside her like a cub who had never seen the world: "Sister Lin, I want to thank you and Young Master Su for helping me on the street last time, since Young Master Su is not here. , please sister Lin to help me relay it on my behalf."
Lin Qingxu felt her scalp go numb when she heard her call him "Sister Lin".
She gave a nonchalant "uh", and her eyes fell on the begonia tree in the yard, which was obviously ignoring.
The begonias by the window are clustered next to each other, bright and dazzling, attracting attention. Lin Qingxu didn't want to pay too much attention to Cui Yuying, and looked at it, and unconsciously ran to the side.
It is the beginning of August. In September, the begonia tree will bloom and twig, and in November, the begonia fruit will mature. In Lin Qingxu's memory, a five-flowered tree is planted in the yard of his own community in modern times. The six-meter-high Begonia tree is very similar to the Begonia tree in front of you.
Trees are planted in public areas, and people are not prohibited from picking fruits. However, the children in the community are greedy and can’t wait for the fruits on the Begonia tree to mature. One by one, hiding from adults and taking advantage of no one passing by, climbed to the tree to pick green fruits. Then he grinned sourly and gave up temporarily. After ten days and a half, come back to "test" the maturity.
Lin Qingxu was also poor when he was a child. He learned from those children who secretly climbed trees and picked fruits with friends, and when friends watched the wind, she climbed the trees.
She thought that when she picked the fruit, she was already behind the large group, and the fruits near the ground were picked in seven or eighty-eight ways. She could only step on the thin tree trunk with all her strength and climb up, picking up what she thought was a big guy. The ones with a high red maturity rate are stuffed into the pockets.
The pockets of her clothes and trousers were full, so she lifted up her coat and pocketed the fruit in her clothes. The hanging hand not only needed to control safety, but also prevent the "pocket" carried by her fingertips from slipping. She couldn't fit in her pockets, so she climbed down the tree crookedly and shared the results with her friends.
The immature crabapple fruit is sour and astringent. Occasionally, she was lucky to pick out a slightly less sour fruit. She and her friend tasted it alone, and at the same time, she could not open her eyes due to the sourness.
However, this kind of youthful years did not last long, and she was lucky to bump into her mother once.
My friend had been poisoned by Lin Ma's mighty image for several years. When she saw it from a distance, she was frightened like a frightened bird. She only had time to say "Your mother is here" to her, who was still hanging on the treetop, and ran wild with her schoolbag in her arms. In addition, she also took her schoolbag away...
Lin Qingxu was most afraid of two words since she was a child, one was "the teacher is here", and the other was "your mother is here!", when she heard these words, she almost fell off the begonia tree.
When she turned around, she was grabbed by Lin Ma and scolded severely!
Lin Qingxu thought of this, the corners of his mouth curved, and he felt a lot easier for a while.
However, her appearance of being so insane and complacent, falling into the eyes of the other two people in the pavilion, has a slightly different meaning.
"Madam, Madam?" Fang Yin raised her voice unconsciously as she watched Miss Cui push the cakes on the stone table that had not received a response for a long time.
Lin Qingxu suddenly fell from the light clouds: "Ah? Oh, what's the matter?"
She stabilized her mind, and blankly saw the extra pastry box in front of her.
Cui Yuying clenched her hands under her cuffs tightly, feeling resentful because of her neglect and mockery, but on the surface she was still submissive.
"Sister Lin, this is a cake that I made by myself. The taste is not as good as the pastry shops outside, but the appearance can be called exquisite. I hope my sister and Young Master Su will accept my humble heart."
Cui Yuying said, twisting her tender white fingers, pushed the top layer of the brocade box away, and shyly waited for Lin Qingxu's inspection.
Inside the brocade box, the cakes decorated with petals are neatly arranged in the white porcelain disc, just like flowers in full bloom, the light pink and light white interweave, and the elegant flower fragrance, which makes the index finger move.
Lin Qingxu: "..."
She felt that Cui Yuying was born to overcome her!
When she was still in Hehua Village, Cui Yuying asked Fang Xiu to learn embroidery for three days and two days, turning her second who was still studying hard at the fledgling stage into a scum. Now that she has married and moved to the town, Cui Yuying still has to exist. Feeling, and then reveal her cooking skills enough to bomb the kitchen!
Lin Qingxu closed his eyes, feeling that he couldn't continue like this.
"Miss Cui." She glanced away and looked at Cui Yuying seriously, extremely solemn.
Cui Yuying looked back at her delicately.
"To be honest, I don't like you very much." Lin Qingxu came to remember hard at the beginning.
Seeing that Cui Yuying's already fair face was turning pale, Lin Qingxu felt a bit of guilt in her heart, and she was quickly suppressed by her.
To her, Cui Yuying is just a passerby who doesn't want to have a relationship and doesn't like it. In her heart, she rejected the possibility of going on the same road with Cui Yuying. Afterwards, the series of apparent neglect and dislike were actually trying to put the two of them together. distance between them.
Unfortunately, sometimes things backfire.
"Actually, it's meaningless for you to come this time. The reason why Ayan and I came out in public before was just to help Su Rong. Moreover, the decision of the government and the follow-up resolution are business affairs, and we have nothing to do with us. ."
Lin Qingxu put on a serious cold face and left things clean.
Guo saw that Cui Yuying had turned into a little white flower hit by a frost.
Lin Qingxu was heartbroken, and decided to add another spoonful of oil while the fire was still raging: "Whether it's in Hehua Village or here, I don't want to know the reason why you tried to approach me and Su's house, but since there is something about you The matter has been resolved openly, and I hope we will never have any more contact between us."
Lin Qingxu didn't have the time to distinguish whether Cui Yuying's deliberate approach was to seek shelter or for other reasons. Since her previous behavior was not enough for Cui Yuying to retreat, she might as well take this opportunity to clarify.
Cui Yuying pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. The knuckles hidden in her long sleeves were about to be shattered by anger. She suppressed her resentful gaze, as if her gaze was about to pierce the stone platform.
As early as in Lotus Village, Cui Yuying noticed that Lin Qingxu didn't like her. so what? She came with a purpose, not to be liked by Lin Qingxu.
At one point, Cui Yuying stood at the top and looked down on her.
In her heart, Lin Qingxu was just a chess piece that could be replaced at will. Her dislike, on the contrary, inspired Cui Yuying's heart to be happy.
However, the situation gradually changed.
Lin Qingxu married into the Su family, and married the man Cui Yuying coveted. Their lives were peaceful and there were no ups and downs, so she could only stick to the same place like a puppet.
No, she is not reconciled!
…
Silence spread infinitely in the air, Lin Qingxu moved his lips indifferently, and wanted to ask Xiao Baihua, who had been stagnant for a long time, to go away, but the other party actually stood up one step ahead of her and spoke sadly.
"It's my fault for bothering Sister Lin, I'll go back now." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and trotted away resolutely, with a trace of grief and anger on her body.
Lin Qingxu stretched out his arm, desperately wanting to call the person back: "..."
Ah hey, your cakes haven't been taken away yet!
Cui Yuying ran away from her sight in a flash, Lin Qingxu retracted her arm, thinking that this time she should have a rare chance to figure it out, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, before she could relax, she saw the old man step into the yard with a complicated look on his face.
Seeing her, Lin Qingxu was extremely keenly aware that the solemnity in the old man's eyes increased even more.
Lin Qingxu: ? ? ?
What acridine, is this the sky is falling?
The author has something to say: Grandpa: Heaven has not stepped on, I am just thinking seriously about how to wisely pick out your five questions!
Lin Qingxu: ... dream.
