Chapter 138
Seeing that he was eager to go back, Zeng Lingmei held a pretty face, looked at him and said quietly: "I know, you are concerned about the third sister in your heart. I am content to be like you... Let's go..."
Zeng Lingmei turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled back to her arms by Gu Yezhou, stroked her towering breasts, kissed her tender red lips, and said softly: "Mei'er, after you go back, you'll marry me, okay?"
Zeng Lingmei's delicate body was already so cold that she kept trembling. When she heard this, her delicate body trembled. She slowly raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were slowly filled with tears. She sniffed, raised her jade arms, wrapped around his neck, blinked her tears, forced a smile, and shook her head: "No..."
"Why?"
"My father would not promise me to marry someone else as a concubine, and I would not want to be someone else's concubine..."
Gu Yezhou was speechless immediately. If Zeng Biaoke disagreed, he could find a way. If the master didn't want to, then there would be no way.
Zeng Lingmei saw Gu Yezhou's expression was gloomy, and tears were faintly in her eyes, and she said softly: "I am content with your words! Really, after I go back, treat my third sister well, don't miss me again..."
Gu Yezhou hugged her tightly and kissed her tender and soft red lips deeply. Zeng Lingmei kissed her back, sobbing from time to time.
Finally, Zeng Lingmei pushed him away and said sobbingly: "Let's go! Otherwise, it's too late!"
Zeng Lingmei went into the cave and took out their robes. They put them on silently. Holding hands, they walked towards the county town in the valley.
There is no need to worry about the danger of falling down the valley, so they walk very quickly because they pull each other and reduce falling.
When they walked until dawn, they finally walked out of the valley and saw the official road below!
The road is downhill, and the slope is relatively slow, so the two of them slide down hand in hand, which is much faster.
After getting on the official road, the two of them walked forward in this way, and they slid down when they encountered the slope. At noon, they finally saw the city wall of the county town in the distance!
Finally back!
The two hugged each other and kissed each other excitedly.
Just as we were moved, a strong wind suddenly blew over. The wind was mixed with snowflakes, which was very strong. It made the two of them stagger forward for a few steps before barely stopping.
Before this, although it was very cold, there was no strong cold wind, and this gust of wind was so strong that it seemed that it had never appeared in the whole winter.
Gu Yezhou hugged Zeng Lingmei tightly and turned around to look at the wind. He saw that the originally quiet snow field was already howling, wrapped in snowflakes, flying everywhere. The harsh roar sound resounded throughout the field!
"No! Blizzard! Run!" Gu Yezhou pulled Zeng Lingmei and ran towards the county town.
Unexpectedly, it was about to arrive in the county town and disaster came again! I wonder if the two of them could escape this time.
——————————————
In the extreme cold, Old Master Long's family was roasting fire in the house to keep warm, so except for a few servants in the yard who were frozen into ice sculptures, the rest of the people were safe. This made Old Master Long very happy. He brought his family to burn incense to his ancestors and thanked them for their blessings.
On this day, the whole family had lunch and sat in the corridor and talked. Except for the newly-acquisitioned concubine Yumei, Yumei, who was lying in the house with discomfort, the rest of the family were there.
Long Biao's legs were almost the same, but he was used to sitting on a chair and letting others carry it away, which was even more majestic. At this moment, he took out all kinds of rare treasures he had bought in the fritters market these days, all of which were exchanged for food.
In order to exchange these antiques, Long Biao had almost spent all the food in his family. Old Master Long was not willing at first and scolded his son severely, but later he saw that the antiques his son took home were indeed a rare thing. He might not have been able to buy good things with a hundred times of money, so he stopped scolding him. Later, he even followed his son to the fritters market to search for treasure.
However, those who sell these treasures basically only need food. Most of the food they used to store in the county rice shop was sold for money and bought the Mo family's land, but now they can only use food.
Old Master Long was not too worried. He estimated that he thought that it would be fine to borrow some food for his friendship with rice merchants. So he boldly used the food to exchange for those valuable antiques that he liked. After a while, the house was piled up, but the rice warehouse where the food was filled was almost empty.
Seeing that the food at home was not much, Old Master Long asked the housekeeper to borrow food from the rice merchant. The housekeeper took a dozen servants and went out to borrow rice with baskets. At noon, he came back dejectedly.
Old Master Long, who was sitting in the corridor, saw them and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Where is the rice?"
The housekeeper said: "The rice merchant said that he only sells but not borrows. The food price is very high now, so he is unwilling to lend it."
"Who said that?"
"Both Qiu Fuzu and Hu Wanghai said so."
"Damn it! These two old guys don't give me face!" Old Master Long cursed, "Did you borrow it from another home?"
"Go!" said the housekeeper, "We have gone to almost all the rice shops, but none of them are willing to borrow rice. They only say they can sell it, but they cannot borrow it."
"How much do they want?"
“According to market price.”
"Market price?" Old Master Long roared, "The fuck now the market rice price has increased more than ten times! I have to pay for it, isn't this robbery by taking advantage of the fire?"
The housekeeper cried and said, "Yes, the little ones think so, but these rice merchants said that they are buying and selling small businesses, and the waters are rising, so they have no choice but to pay. If you want to buy, you can only pay, and there is not much food anymore. If you want to buy it as early as possible, otherwise, there will be no more selling later."
Mr. Long's wife, Weng, twisted her fat waist and said in a coquettish voice: "Master, you just want money. Our family can't afford it. Just give it to them!"
Long Biao interrupted, "Mom! Our family has no cash, so we use all the cash to buy antiques and land."
Long Biao's newly married wife, Xingtao, the daughter of Ma Damazi's family, held a pair of almond eyes and said coquettishly: "Mr., don't you have so many treasures? Isn't it enough to offset their cash for whatever you want?"
"No!" Long Biao glared and said, "How can I use the antiques I exchanged for food for food? Then isn't the fuck that I'm so idle that I have nothing to do?" After thinking for a while, I felt that there was really nothing else to do except this method, so I said to the official family: "Are they willing to exchange for antiques?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "I have thought of this and asked if I can exchange it for antiques. The rice merchant said, yes, but it is up to them to decide how much these antiques are worth and how much grain they can be exchanged for. If you want, change it, and if you don't want it, you will lose it."
Old Master Long said angrily: "They have the final say? Could it be that a pearl is exchanged for him for a bowl of rice? Damn, isn't this blatant robbing?"
"That's right!" Long Biao's concubine Bo Lian shook a pair of bulging clothes on her chest that were almost torn. Qiu Bo gave it to Old Master Long one after another, "The master is right. We can't let them lead the nose. Isn't it just food? I heard that grandma and their parents' home still have a lot of food? Otherwise, I'll ask grandma to go back and borrow some, and it must be no problem."
Old Master Long had a pair of muddy eyes, staring at Polian's surging breasts greedily, and quietly said saliva and nodded: "Yeah! That's right!" He turned his head to look at his new daughter-in-law Xingtao: "You go back and borrow some food from your father and return it twice after autumn. How about it?"
Xingtao curled her lips, Orchid raised her fingers, touched the golden hairpin on her clouds, and said crisply: "My father is not like them in a small matter, and he will definitely give him this face. However, when I went back to borrow food alone, my father was afraid that he would think I was suffering in your house and went back to his parents' house."
"Yes, you can't go back alone." Old Master Long looked at his son Long Biao seriously, "You go back with you. By the way, from the antiques we exchanged for rations, choose a good one and give it to your father-in-law as a gift."
Long Biao was very upset when he heard that he wanted to give his antiques to his father-in-law, but he had no choice but to eat up the rations, and the family had no money, and only these antiques were left. He could only use these. His father-in-law was also a person who was not easy to talk to. If there was no gift for meeting, I was afraid that he would not even want to see him, let alone borrow rice.
Long Biao had no choice but to agree, and returned to his room, found two decent antiques, put them in the gift box, took a servant and rode a horse, and his wife Xingtao sat in a sedan chair and two maids, and went out to her parents' home.
Seeing them leaving, Old Master Long showed a lewd smile on his lips and looked at his son's concubine Polian. Polian smiled and said, "Master, I'm a little tired. I want to go back to the house and lie down, so I'll take my leave."
As soon as she heard her deliberately say she was lying back to the room, the coquettish little woman immediately appeared in front of her eyes, wearing gauze and her jade body was standing in the big red mandarin duck quilt. She suddenly had a dry mouth and her eyes were even more lewd. She nodded quickly and pretended to be serious: "Go back and rest!"
Pollyn again blessed her, turned around and took her close maid back to her cross-yard.
Old Master Long glanced at his fat wife, frowned, and said, "That old guy Hu Wanghai is very close to your family. I am worried that Biaoer and the others can't borrow much food. Otherwise, thank you, Madam, you will go and discuss with Hu Wanghai, and borrow some food back, how about it?"
Weng's fat face shook, twisted the waist of the bucket that could not be distinguished by the boundaries, and said, "Okay! Since you have spoken, I'll go and have a look. If he doesn't give me such face, I'll want him to look good! - Prepare a sedan chair!"
