Chapter 664 Xiao Mengyao
Although the speed of the horse is not slow, the distance of this day has not been traveled for many years, and when it reaches another town, it is already dark.
After coming here for so long, Luo Xiaohua has never lived in an inn. Looking at this wooden inn now, it feels like she has come to the filming location of a costume drama.
"The shopkeeper gave me two catties of beef, a large bowl of noodles, and another catty of Nurhong."
Ouyang Changqing ordered the dishes familiarly.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
"You are quite familiar with this!"
This Ouyang Changqing doesn't seem to be very old, but after getting along with him for a day, apart from being a bit machismo, he still conducts himself very decently. He will be an official or a businessman in the future. This mouth is even stronger than Xiao San.
Xiao San belongs to the old kind who is deep and introverted, but he is just the opposite, he belongs to the kind who is more open-minded and can talk to anyone.
"Of course, he was here when we came last time, and we stayed here that night. You don't know, when I asked him to open two rooms for me, he told me directly, Just let me open one, the limelight is not good recently, there are a lot of unruly people who always like to come in the middle of the night."
"That's it?"
Looking around, I found that the people inside the inn are quite safe, but there are some wandering outside the inn, but I don't know if they are the kind of bad guys that the shopkeeper said.
"Is that not enough?"
Ouyang Changqing moved the chair closer to Luo Xiaohua, then pinched his nose and said softly.
"Don't think that these shopkeepers are in the same group as those people. In fact, they are not. They are just trying to survive. As long as there is no major incident, they will turn a blind eye and close one eye. If they meet someone who is pleasing to the eye, they will remind them."
"In that case, it's because you are popular that you are treated like this?"
"Of course, look at those people, whether they say it or not, but even if they don't say it, no one touches their things."
Following the direction of Ouyang Changqing's finger, Luo Xiaohua also met an acquaintance.
This time, she was really curious, and quickly kicked Xiao San with her feet.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao San, who had been looking out the window, looked at his daughter-in-law suspiciously.
"Didn't you say that your uncle married Xiao Mengyao to someone, why are you here now?"
Who is that ragged, disheveled girl but Xiao Mengyao?
If it wasn't for Luo Xiaohua's strong memory, she would definitely not be able to recognize her in such a dress.
"How would I know."
Xiao San is a man after all, besides, it is difficult for an upright official to settle housework, as a side person, what else can he say other than persuasion, she has parents, if she doesn't have parents, what else can he do to help.
"Master, do me a favor, and give me some food?"
One old and one young, a man and a woman, each with a bowl in his hand, begged for a bite of food from them table by table.
At this time, the economy is not very good. If the harvest is not good, it is very likely that the stomach will not be full, and begging for food is not such a shameful thing.
But why did this Xiao Mengyao get together with a strange man?
And who is this man to her?
"elder brother"
Xiao Mengyao's voice directly brought Luo Xiaohua into reality. When their eyes collided, Xiao Mengyao immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
"Xiao Mengyao, if you dare to walk out of here today, I will break your legs."
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the elder brother is like a father. For this, many people like them think more about it.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao San's father in this life did not stop his elder brother from marrying Xiao Mengyao, because in his heart, his weight was the same as that of his deceased father.
"Brother me."
"who is he?"
When Xiao San looked at Xiao Mengyao seriously, the man beside her glanced at Xiao Mengyao and then at Xiao San.
It was at this time that Luo Xiaohua discovered that this man was not in a high grade, probably because he was born with a hunchback and inconvenient legs, so he looked older.
Judging from the man's walking posture, he should be a pseudo hunchback. As long as he is treated properly, it is not impossible to return to normal.
"He is my husband."
Xiao Mengyao showed a look of embarrassment on her dark face, and pulled the tattered clothes with both hands.
"I remember it wasn't like this when we greeted the bride."
Although he doesn't have the ability of photographic memory, but it's only been half a month, how could he forget?
"elder brother……"
"Let's go upstairs and talk!"
Just at this moment, Luo Xiaohua asked the shopkeeper to help arrange a wing room on the second floor.
The house in front of this inn is a restaurant, and the house in the back is the guest room, which is relatively large here.
It turned out that on the day of Xiao Mengyao's wedding, it was her husband's younger brother, that is, her younger brother-in-law who came to greet her instead of her elder brother.
Before this, Boss Xiao also knew about Gu Tang's situation, so in order to get a little dowry, he agreed to it.
The marriage of the children was originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. In addition, Xiao Mengyao really wanted to leave her family, so she didn't ask the man how he was doing.
Until I got married, I saw that the house was completely empty, the husband was disabled, the mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed, the father-in-law had tuberculosis, and the only healthy brother-in-law was still studying in school.
Faced with such a family, Xiao Mengyao really flinched. Looking at such a little girl, Gu Tang directly gave her a copy of the letter and told her to go back and forget it.
Seeing such a kind man, Xiao Mengyao didn't want to leave, and planned to support the family with him.
However, due to poor conditions at home, those fields were sold and exchanged for silver taels for parents to see a doctor, which also made life worse day by day.
Therefore, after Xiao Mengyao got married, she couldn't even fill her stomach, so she had to go out begging with her husband.
"Then you really plan to live like this for the rest of your life?"
For Xiao Mengyao, Luo Xiaohua really felt distressed. A big girl who is as beautiful as a flower, unexpectedly has such a father who is not as good as an animal, which makes her not have a good life.
"What else can I do? My father married me here. If I really go back to my mother's house, maybe he will marry me again. It's better to live a peaceful life with him."
Yes, for those unknown things, it is better to live steadily.
"It's just, are you going to live like this with him for the rest of your life? Have you ever thought of changing your fate in other ways?"
Although the economy in this era is not so developed, everyone can still do business by themselves.
