Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Fang Miaolan was going to Jiaxing, accompanied by Zhou Lang and Itachi, Huang Yaoshi stood on the small boat, far behind the boat, pretending that he was not following them.
No matter how you look at this situation, it's a bit weird.
A few days ago, both Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke proposed marriage to Huang Yaoshi, wanting to marry Huang Rong.Huang Yaoshi set up three rounds of competition between the two, and Guo Jing won, but was hated by Huang Yaoshi because he had learned the Nine Yin Manual.
In the end, Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke took the Peach Blossom Formation and left, Zhou Botong, Guo Jing and Hong Qigong also went to sea by boat.
Huang Rong knew that Guo Jing went out to sea in a boat built by Huang Yaoshi, and knew that the boat was used by Huang Yaoshi to commit suicide, so she hurriedly chased it out.
Huang Yaoshi naturally refused and wanted to lock Huang Rong up.
Fang Miaolan saw that the two were getting tense, so she stepped forward to persuade Huang Yaoshi not to be angry.She originally wanted to wait for Huang Yaoshi to stop paying attention, and then quietly let Huang Rong out.
As a result, Huang Rong was in a hurry and yelled: "You just look like my mother, what right do you have to manage my affairs!" Then she said to Huang Yaoshi: "My mother is gone, you brought this woman back, You won't hurt me any more, will you?"
Huang Yaoshi was stunned by the question, his face was so stiff and ugly, he didn't dare to see Fang Miaolan's expression, so he flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, you can go wherever you like."
He just let go of it, and the female university didn't want to stay.
Fang Miaolan was also stunned, startled by Huang Rong's words that she looked like her mother.
After Huang Rong finished yelling, she felt a little embarrassed and looked at Fang Miaolan without speaking.
Fang Miaolan didn't say anything, just forced a smile and went back to the house.However, after hearing what Huang Rong said, she tossed it in her heart for a long time.
If she really looks like Huang Rong's mother, then what does Huang Yaoshi mean by letting her live on Peach Blossom Island?Could it be that he is interested in her?
Thinking of this, Fang Miaolan didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.Huang Yaoshi is a very nice person, treats her well, and is also Zhou Lang's master.Why didn't she secretly think about it?
But now, thinking that Huang Yaoshi was kind to her because she looked like his deceased wife, Fang Miaolan felt that she was being affectionate again.
After Huang Rong and Huang Yaoshi finished yelling, they regretted it very much, but Guo Jing's life was at stake, she thought that there were Zhou Lang and others on the island to comfort her father, so she hurriedly found a boat and set out to sea.
Early the next morning, Fang Miaolan told Huang Yaoshi that she was going to Jiaxing with a small burden on her back, but Huang Yaoshi didn't stop her, but asked Zhou Lang and Weasel to go with her, while she followed far behind in a small boat.
Zhou Lang looked at Fang Miaolan's face, knowing that she also knew that Huang Yaoshi was following, but he had nothing to say.
The state of the two of them is really weird.
With Huang Yaoshi following behind, the road to Jiaxing was smooth.
Fang Miaolan took Zhou Lang and Itachi to her natal home first, her father was just a young scholar, the family was not rich, and there was only a small courtyard.
Knocking on the door, an old woman she didn't know opened the door, Fang Miaolan knew that Fang Yuan no longer lived in this small courtyard.
"You mean Mr. Fang, a scholar? After he married Li Zheng's daughter, he bought a big house and moved away." After the old woman knew that Fang Miaolan was the married daughter of the Fang family, she enthusiastically said, "Go to the most lively place." Look for it on the East Street, in the first alley, the one with the red lantern hanging at the biggest door is the one."
Fang Yuan has been admitted for many years and is only a scholar, but the status of a scholar is higher than that of ordinary people, not to mention his wife is Li Zheng's daughter, don't the villagers have a lot of troubles?Therefore, the old lady was very enthusiastic to guide Fang Miaolan.
After Fang Miaolan thanked her, she led Zhou Lang and Itachi to look for it.Passing by the bustling street, she was fascinated by watching it.She hasn't returned to her natal home for many years, the market is still so lively, and her natal home is no longer where it was.
Zhou Lang came to Jiaxing for the first time, and he had no expectations for this uncle he had never met, so he was very happy to look around with Itachi.
He got carried away looking at it, and suddenly thought of Fang Miaolan again, fearing that he would lose him, so he went back to look for it, only to find that Huang Yaoshi was only four or five steps away from Fang Miaolan at some point.
The street was crowded, but there was only a small space around Fang Miaolan.Huang Yaoshi stayed silently four or five steps away from Fang Miaolan, and did not step forward, wondering how he did it.
"Could it be that the aura frightened others?" Zhou Lang muttered.
Itachi asked puzzledly: "What is an aura?"
Zhou Lang explained blindly: "Probably some kind of internal force is exposed, making people afraid to approach."
Itachi nodded half-understood, went to look at Huang Yaoshi and Fang Miaolan, and blushed again from holding his breath, wanting to feel what it means to release internal force to the outside.
A Liang complained: "Don't teach the children indiscriminately."
Zhou Lang ignored it, and just stepped forward to pinch Itachi's face, like kneading a steamed bun, and couldn't put it down.
Fang Yuan's house is easy to find, with white walls and red tiles, the outer gate is a foot wider than other houses, and there are some festive carvings.
Zhou Lang thought, this uncle of hers must be a flamboyant man, otherwise, how could the gate be decorated in a gaudy manner, which couldn't match the simplicity of ordinary people's homes.
Fang Miaolan knocked on the door, reported her name, and the porter went in to report.
Zhou Lang stood on tiptoe and took a few glances inside. Seeing that the place inside was not very big, he muttered to himself, "It's a small family, but a big family has learned everything about it."
A few people were waiting at the door, Fang Miaolan probably felt embarrassed, so she smiled at Huang Yaoshi, but Huang Yaoshi turned her head away without saying something like smiling.
Why would you go to Jiaxing if you didn't want to pay attention to her?Fang Miaolan suppressed her smile, frowning.
After waiting for a while, the porter still didn't come out.
Zhou Lang looked at the two awkward people, and suddenly said loudly to Itachi on purpose: "Itachi, my mother is frowning, could it be that my uncle doesn't welcome us, is mother sad?"
Fang Miaolan hastily stopped: "What nonsense, how could uncle not welcome us!"
Her face turned red, she was shy and embarrassed, although she could only see Huang Yaoshi's back out of the corner of her eyes, she somehow felt that she was too ashamed.
Fang Yuan had been studying in a private school when he was a child, and he was not very close to her. In fact, Fang Miaolan came back to look for him this time, and she was not very confident.But think about it again, now she only has Fang Yuan as a relative, who else can she go to if she doesn't come to him?
Fortunately, the embarrassment did not last long, the porter opened the door, and a young and beautiful woman came out.She is Fang Yuan's wife and Li Zheng's eldest daughter, Li Shi.
"This is... Eldest Sister?" With a smile on her face, Mrs. Li stepped forward to hold Fang Miaolan's hand in two or three steps, and greeted her inside, "Why don't you send me a letter first, so that the master can wait at home "Looking behind Fang Miaolan, she was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be brother-in-law and niece?"
Hearing this, Fang Miaolan was stunned, and even Huang Yaoshi froze in place.
Fang Miaolan waved her hands again and again, stammering, "No... no, this..."
Her husband has passed away.Huang Yaoshi was not her husband, but he protected her and the two children all the way to Jiaxing. Although he was Zhou Lang's master, why did Fang Miaolan find it so difficult to explain when she thought of explaining?
For a moment, Fang Miaolan couldn't say anything to explain, and Fang Miaolan's eyes were reddened.
Huang Yaoshi coughed, and said calmly: "I am the master of these two children. Because the journey is far away, so I escort them for a trip, so as to avoid any accidents on the way."
Zhou Lang nodded, and introduced to Mrs. Li: "Auntie, this is my master. My father...he was gone two years ago." Then he pulled Itachi to introduce: "This is my junior brother."
Facing a strange aunt, Zhou Lang didn't want to say that Itachi was his foster husband picked up by him, which had a bad reputation.If she only introduces him as a younger brother, surely this aunt will not look down on Itachi.
Mrs. Li nodded, sighed and said, "It's good when we get home." But he couldn't stop looking at Huang Yaoshi and Itachi from the corners of his eyes, guessing their identities, and poking at Fang Miaolan from time to time, the smile on his face was more than a little less. .
She originally thought that the eldest sister was visiting relatives with the whole family, and she also thought that it was not a festival, so why did her family come all of a sudden.Now that she knew that Fang Miaolan had lost her husband, she immediately understood that the elder sister who married far away brought her daughter back to her mother's house to live and eat.
The family is not rich, and they have to raise two children. Fang Yuan doesn't have much income, and most of them are supported by the income from the farm in her dowry. Is it possible that he has to raise two more mouths now?
Although Li's face was still smiling, there was a bit of worry in his eyes.
After entering the courtyard gate, the place really isn't very big, it's just a small courtyard with only two entrances.
Mrs. Li led a few people into the living room to drink tea, and then asked someone to let Fang Yuan come back.
"One of my two children is three years old, and the other is only a few months old. They are both sleeping in the afternoon. When they wake up, I will ask them to present to the eldest sister." Mrs. Li smiled, and she couldn't stop talking about the two children. Happy.
Fang Miaolan naturally agreed, and said something to Li Shi and the two about the children's food.
Huang Yaoshi sat awkwardly, only concentrating on drinking tea, using himself as a wooden stake.Zhou Lang and Itachi had no scruples. Taking advantage of their young age, they ate snacks and looked them inside and out of the small courtyard.
Sure enough, like the gate, they are all colorful and not plain at all.It's hard to blame Fang Yuan, such a small place can be decorated with flowers.
The small yard was already crowded, so Fang Yuan built a small shed abruptly and planted a lot of flowers.Zhou Lang vaguely recognized a few orchids, and murmured in his heart, growing orchids is not easy, and they must be carefully cared for.It's not that rich and noble families have hired special servants to support them, how can they afford them.
Fang Yuan came back very quickly, and had a tearful confession with Fang Miaolan when he entered the hall.Although he was not close to his eldest sister when he was a child, they were the only relatives after all, and they hadn't seen each other for many years, so they were naturally very warm.
However, when Huang Yaoshi's identity was introduced, and he learned that his brother-in-law was dead, and the widow and eldest sister came to seek shelter with their children, the smile on Fang Yuan's face remained stiff for a few seconds.
Huang Yaoshi put the teacup on the coffee table without showing any trace, and brushed his fingers lightly over the coffee table, a few fingerprints appeared on the coffee table.
Fang Yuan was taken aback, knowing that Huang Yaoshi was an expert and did not dare to offend, so a smile appeared on his face again.
