The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C286 distant cousin
Mian Niang continuously waved her hands, how could she do that? She should just take the corn beans and the melon seeds, but these two added together would make a big half of a bag, which was enough for hyposome to eat for half a month.
Actually, whether it was precious or not was not important. What was rare was this kind of intention.
Mian Niang thanked Second Aunt of Mei Family and bid farewell to the two daughter-in-law. She bought two and a half plates of tofu from Plum Blossom Village and left the Plum Blossom Village.
This day, the tofu was sold out exceptionally quickly, and it wasn’t even noon yet when it was sold out. Mian Niang rushed the furry donkey cart back, met some pedestrians on the road, asked them where she was going, and conveniently brought them back.
After the man got off the car, Mian Niang drove the hairy donkey cart home.
As he was pondering, A Yunniang who was next door heard the noise and stuck his head out, asking: “Mian Niang, you still have a distant cousin?”
Mian Niang was even more confused. She had never heard her mother talk about distant cousins.
Tsk tsk, your cousin doesn’t look like an ordinary person. Your uncle said that this kind of horse is not even seen in the horse market, its fur, body, bones and four hooves. This is a horse that might not even be born in the whole of Tongzhou.
Mian Niang laughed, she only took a glance, and could not see how good the horse was, she was even more curious about her cousin who suddenly appeared.
She went into the yard to unload the car.
Father A Yun stuck his head out from the other side of the wall with a look of envy and pity on his face, “It’s such a pity that a horse like this isn’t being used for farming.”
A Yunniang spat at him: “What do you know? Since you are a good horse, it would be a pity to use it for farming, but seeing your cousin dressed normally, your looks are not that extraordinary, and I do not know how you could have such a good horse.”
Mian Niang did not understand many things, but her mind raced, and she did not say it.
Honestly speaking, something huge had happened in your family and your uncles already told you to stay far away from him, but it’s not like you couldn’t hear any news of him at all. This isn’t like the Your Abba, where this room only has one brother, who didn’t come back when the Your Abba was in the first place. Who knows what this cousin of yours is up to now? ”
A Yunniang was worried, afraid that this cousin of his had an unknown origin.
Mian Niang pursed her lips, unable to say any words of advice for her not to worry. Regarding his uncle’s family, Aunt did not bring it up often, she only knew that the year after Mother and Father got married, Eldest Uncle was in Qi Zhou city, hundreds of miles away from here. Afterwards, Second Uncle and Third Uncle had also moved over with their maternal grandma and grandpa, leaving only their daughter here.
It was not convenient to go back and forth from far, only when his grandparents died did his parents make a trip. Since then, there had been some correspondence at the beginning, but now, there were less correspondence. Mian Niang did not need to count with his fingers, he knew that his uncles had not sent any letters in many years.
At the beginning, Mama and Abba would even whisper to each other, but now they didn’t even mutter anymore.
The letter that was sent out was like a stone sinking into the ocean. After hearing that someone had sent a message saying that the family was having a good time, Mother didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Mother herself had once said, “Mother, mother, without mother, then it will no longer be your home.”
So what if they were brothers of the same mother? They all became families, married, and their relationship gradually ended.
Where did this distant cousin come from when none of his cousins had come to visit?
Mian Niang felt that all of these were just too strange, as she unloaded the carriage at the same time, her heart was still constantly pondering.
A Yunniang was still leaning on the wall, she had a cousin that appeared out of nowhere, even though he was dressed like a human and was riding a big horse.
Just as Mian Niang was about to tell her about A Yun, the main house’s door opened, and a person walked out. He was dressed in an old cotton robe, with an old leather vest wrapped around his body, and two patches on his shoulders. One of them was red, while the other was green.
Lowering his eyebrows, he called out, “Cousin.”
Mian Niang could not hold back and laughed, “Why have I never heard of a cousin like you?”
This set of clothes was indeed incongruous with the horse with the same fur and satin as the outside. Its appearance was indeed ordinary, especially when one looked at it with such a lowered brow, one could not see the light that shone from its eyes.
However, Mian Niang still could not take her eyes off him.
This person probably didn’t expect him to say this and didn’t know what to say. After all, his distant cousin was only an excuse.
Mian Niang could also understand why Yun Che had chosen to put himself in such a position. It was always at night, and also seemed like it was shameful. Although he was extremely careful in his actions, he still had to be on guard against people watching him.
Rather than being talked about in secret, it would be better to just pass the road like this and meet him in the future in broad daylight.
Madame Song Li came out from the house, and smiled when she saw A Yunniang, and pulled Jiang Ting out of the door.
Being touched like that by someone else, Jiang Ting subconsciously wanted to cripple his hand and move his mind. In the last moment, his reason took the upper hand.
Madame Song Li still did not know that she had almost crippled a wrist. Now, she pulled Jiang Ting to introduce him to A Yun’s parents: “This is my cousin’s son, surnamed Jiang. He is the third oldest in the family.
Jiang Ting called his uncle and aunt.
Polite but dull.
He had also finally raised his head, allowing A Yun’s father and A Yunniang to clearly see his appearance. His eyes, in particular, were bright and magnanimous.
“These eyes are so good.” A Yunniang secretly nodded his head, thinking that someone with that kind of gaze would obviously not be a bad person.
Little did she know that a person who possessed such a pair of eyes would kill without blinking, causing her daughter to have nightmares for an entire half a month.
Madame Song Li smiled and nodded, “That’s right, their family’s eyes are very pretty, but you didn’t see my cousin. Sigh, when my parents were still here, they came to my house, and at that time, I was only twelve or thirteen. I couldn’t understand anything, but I felt that pair of eyes were very pretty, even brighter than the stars in the sky.”
Mian Niang held onto the tofu plate, and did not move for a long time.
Jiang Ting’s attention was actually on her, and seeing her, he was a little worried, and immediately told Madame Song that he wanted to help.
When this “nun” cried out, it was difficult to avoid feeling a little awkward. “Noob … nooo … nooo … nooo … noo …”
When Madame Song and Li heard this, they also felt awkward, but the two of them had concealed it well and not been seen through.
“Mm, go ahead.”
Madame Song Li let go of the person and turned back to continue speaking with A Yunniang. Since she had made up this lie, she had to make it up.
A Yunniang asked the question that was on his mind, “Since it’s a cousin, why haven’t we contacted each other for so many years?
He followed the caravan to the north to stock up. My cousin told him to come over to see my parents along the way, and only then did he find out that the entire family had moved to the Qi Province, and after he found out about it, he came to find me. ”
A Yunniang nodded his head: “That’s all. These relatives, do not move about often, and will slowly end.”
“Isn’t that the truth? No matter how close someone is, they can’t be separated by too much!” She felt it, and there was a sadness in her expression.
Seeing her like this, A Yunniang knew that she was thinking of her own blood brothers and quickly comforted her.
Jiang Ting walked to the front of Mian Niang and saw clearly that Mian Niang was laughing.
He looked at Mian Niang with a puzzled expression.
Mian Niang called out, “Cousin?”
His voice was not loud, but it carried a hint of teasing.
When he heard the word “cousin”, Jiang Ting’s mind went blank for a moment. It was as if his frozen heart had been hooked by a small hook and pulled down the impenetrable ice layer without any defenses.
Jiang Ting was expressionless as he softly uttered, “Eh?”
Mian Niang was amused by his stupefied look and joked in a small voice: “You were the one who lied, but now you are not used to it.”
Her voice was too soft and soft, like the flowery voice of a distant mountain. Only two people in close proximity could hear her clearly.
Jiang Ting clenched his fists tightly and said, “No one has ever spoken to me like this before.”
Moreover, Jiang Ting had never responded to any of them before. As for those who were in the same robe as him, if they were to tease each other a little, they would automatically withdraw when they see him not talking, and it was true that there was nothing that Mian Niang could do as he pleased. To Jiang Ting, the most important thing was that he had not yet recovered from the sound of “cousin”.
Mian Niang did not understand the various things that were hiding behind her back. Hearing Jiang Ting’s words, he tilted his head and thought, then laughed: “I’m afraid no one dares to speak to you like that, right?”
Jiang Ting thought for a moment, then nodded his head: “That’s about it.”
Apart from His Majesty the Emperor.
Mian Niang did not find it strange, this man had a sword on her back all year round, she was filled with killing intent, it would be weird if anyone dared to talk to him like that.
At this moment, she was wiping her tears. The shadow of A Yun’s father was long gone, leaving A Yunniang alone on the wall to advise her otherwise.
Mian Niang laughed and looked back at Jiang Ting: “You don’t know, my mother never lies, I never expected to make an exception for you today, so well said.”
Only now did Jiang Ting know why she was laughing, and turned to look at Madame Song, not knowing what else to say.
He could only give an awkward “En”.
He took the tofu plate from Mian Niang’s hands and brought it to her room.
Mian Niang was busy thinking about Madame Song, and when she came back to her senses, the tofu plate had already been taken away by Jiang Ting, along with two buckets of tofu brains.
Jiang Ting held onto the sack as he said to Mian Niang in a low voice through the donkey, “The reason why I’m here today is because of Mei Family.”
