Hearing her words, Luo Fengtang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and said, "Qing'er, please put on some clothes. I'll take you somewhere to meet someone. Then you'll know why I went out in private these two times without telling you."

…

When the carriage stopped in front of a small yard of a house in an alley, Yang Ruoqing looked around, feeling a little surprised.

She was not very familiar with Qing'an County. This alley, and even the street where the alley was located, was her first time back tonight.

"Qing'er, wait here, I'll knock on the door." Luo Fengtang said, then turned around and went to the old wooden courtyard door in front of him and took a photo.

"Come on, come on!"

Soon, the old woman's voice and footsteps came from the yard.

After the door creaked open, standing behind the door was an unfamiliar old woman. Judging from her age, she was probably about the same age as Mrs. Tan. Her back was hunched, and under the moonlight, her clothes were also patched.

of.

"Didn't you just leave? Why are you back again?" The old woman asked in surprise when she saw Luo Fengtang standing at the door of the house.

Luo Fengtang glanced at Yang Ruoqing who was standing behind him, and said to the old woman, "I'll bring my wife here with me."

Only then did the old woman see Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing was dressed in men's clothing at the moment, but there was no disguise on her face.

The old woman looked Yang Ruoqing up and down, nodded and said, "Well, the world is in chaos. Your wife is very handsome. It is more convenient to change into men's clothes when she goes out at night."

"Come on, come in quickly!"

…

Yang Ruoqing was led into the courtyard by Luo Fengtang. This was a very ordinary farmyard.

There is no need to say more here.

The old woman led the two of them to the door of the house, pointed to the brightly lit west room and said: "Go, he is in that room. I will continue spinning. Just call me when you leave."

Then, she turned around and went back to the east room.

Looking at the old woman's staggering steps and hunched back, Yang Ruoqing secretly thought that this person's life was different from other people's.

Mrs. Tan had hardly done any heavy work in her life, and all the work such as spinning and weaving was done by daughters-in-law such as Mrs. Sun.

She only did some needlework, but then she became blind and her needlework almost stopped.

Mrs. Tan also yelled every day that her life was boring, and she should really be allowed to see how this old woman lived.

This happiness sometimes comes from 'comparison'.

If you don't compare, you won't know that you are soaking in a honey jar.

"Qing'er, we're here, look." When Luo Fengtang's voice came to her ears, Yang Ruoqing turned her head.

Only then did I realize that he had pulled me all the way out of the West Room.

In the west room, the furnishings are extremely simple.

There is a bed next to the wall and a table next to it.

A familiar figure was sitting sideways by the bed, holding a small bronze mirror in one hand and a wooden comb in the other, combing it carefully.

She was wearing popular women's clothes, a blue-breasted jacket with a blue skirt underneath.

Both tops and bottoms are patched.

When the bronze mirror she held in her hand slowly moved away, revealing that familiar face, Yang Ruoqing was stunned.

Zhou, Zhou Xia?

"Tangyazi, what is going on?" she asked in surprise.

"Didn't your Aunt Da'e say that Zhou Xia went to the capital to find the old concubine of Xiangyang? Why are you here?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Moreover, looking at Zhou Xia's outfit, it is obviously that of a married woman. Could it be that she is married?

Before Luo Fengtang could say anything, Zhou Xia who was beside the bed said coldly: "It's been almost a year since the death of the old concubine of the King of Xiangyang. How can I find her? Should I go to the underworld to look for her?"

Luo Fengtang frowned when he heard this.

"Zhou Xia, why are you talking to your cousin-in-law? Don't be so aggressive!" he said.

Zhou Xia snorted coldly, "What kind of cousin? She came here to see my joke, is it possible that I still want to compliment her? No way!"

Luo Fengtang's face turned cold, and his voice sounded a bit warning: "If you continue to be so arrogant and unreasonable, I will not lend you even a penny, let alone a hundred taels of silver!"

Zhou Xia became anxious and turned to glare at Luo Fengtang, biting her teeth with hatred.

Yang Ruoqing was confused as she listened to the conversation between their cousins.

"Zhou Xia, shut up!" Yang Ruoqing shouted directly.

While Zhou Xia was stunned, she turned to Luo Fengtang and said, "What on earth is going on? I heard it in confusion, so tell me the whole story quickly."

Luo Fengtang nodded and said, "It's like this. On the second morning when we came to the county, you were sleeping, and I went downstairs to the opposite street to buy you breakfast."

"Then I met Zhou Xia in the breakfast shop. She didn't see me at the time, but I saw her."

"I was just as puzzled as you, so I followed her to see if I had seen the wrong person."

"I followed them all the way here. When I saw the old woman from before and listened to their conversation, I realized that Zhou Xia was actually married. The man was the son of the old woman just now."

"I showed up at that time and asked what was going on. The old woman told me that Zhou Xia was the daughter-in-law of her son who was running business in Changhuaizhou and spent ten taels of silver to bring him back."

"I asked Zhou Xia and she didn't deny it either."

"These two times I came out alone, I came here to find her. I just wanted to ask her what happened. Since she didn't go to the old concubine of Xiangyang, why didn't she go home?"

"Aunt Da'e broke her leg trying to find her. Cousin Zhou Wang doesn't say anything, but I can actually see that he still misses her as a sister in his heart."

"Now that we have a family and live an honest life, we should go back and tell our family that we are safe. As a child, you cannot lose this filial piety!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes, "Tang Yazi, why do you care about her? Let alone her filial piety, her conscience has already been eaten by dogs."

"Let's go, let's not worry about her, let's not waste our time on people like her!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang did not leave, "Qing'er, she wants to borrow a hundred taels of silver from me."

"I won't lend you a penny!" Yang Ruoqing refused directly. She was joking. Why did Zhou Xia borrow a hundred taels?

Is it still affordable?

And with her rubbish character, Yang Ruoqing would get annoyed whenever she saw her, how could that be possible!

How did Tangyazi make steamed buns?

Just when she was a little unhappy and wanted to drag Luo Fengtang out, Luo Fengtang said again: "Aren't we going to deal with the Cao family? She said she can help us for a hundred taels of silver."

Yang Ruoqing paused in her steps and looked at him.

But he looked at Zhou Xia: "Qing'er is in charge of my family's accounts. If you want to borrow money, you have to have her nod. I agree but I can't be sure."
