Chapter 52 My sister was wronged
Jiang Mingyue put down the clothes in her hands and looked at her brother.
"How was your chat?"
Although she had already guessed the answer, she was still a little nervous and apprehensive at the moment when she asked it.
Jiang Minghong held his sister's hand: "Sister, my brother really doesn't want you to get married now."
It's all because he didn't have the ability to protect her, otherwise he would never have taken advantage of Xie Yuan like this. Moreover, his sister was engaged and married, and her parents were not around. He felt aggrieved for his sister just thinking about it.
When Jiang Mingyue heard this, she knew that the two had reached an agreement. It was a lie to say that she was not happy, but thinking that her parents might not be here when she got engaged or even got married in the future, Jiang Mingyue felt a little sad, but in front of her younger brother, She didn't show it.
"Fool, I just want to get engaged first. And even if I get married, I will only marry next door. My sister will never leave you."
Jiang Minghong said 'hmm' and said, "Mr. Xie will invite a matchmaker to come to his house to propose marriage in the near future."
Jiang Mingyue nodded: "I saved it!"
As for his desire to get married this year, Jiang Minghong doesn't plan to tell his sister now. He wants to hear what his father has to say.
"Sister, haven't you always wanted to write a letter to your parents? You can write now. I will try to write to my parents in the near future to explain this matter."
Jiang Mingyue was overjoyed at first: "I miss my parents so much after being away for so long. I don't know if they are okay now. I want to write a long letter to them. I have too many things to say to them..."
Jiang Minghong looked at his happy sister and said "Hmm" in a hoarse voice. He also missed his parents, very much. For his sister, they had only been separated from their parents for half a year, but for Jiang Minghong But it's a lifetime.
Reason returned, Jiang Mingyue's voice gradually lowered, and she asked with some worry: "Can I communicate with my parents? Is there any danger?"
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Hearing that her brother's voice was a little hoarse and her whole body was filled with sadness, Jiang Mingyue reached out and hugged him into her arms. She missed her parents, and her brother must have missed her more than she did.
After all, he and his parents had been separated for a longer time, and I don’t know if he saw his parents again after they came to Kyoto in his previous life.
Jiang Minghong leaned into his sister's arms, slowly closed his eyes, and secretly told himself that everything was different in this life, that he would rescue his parents and see them again.
After a while, Jiang Minghong calmed down and let go of his sister and said, "My parents can't come to get engaged this time. I'm sorry for my sister!"
"As long as you are here, sister will not be wronged."
Jiang Minghong smiled and said, "Brother Xie invited the matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage. We cannot do without elders at home to entertain us."
Jiang Mingyue asked tentatively: "Aunt..."
As soon as she uttered two words, her brother interrupted her.
"No, I just got the news that my aunt and others have been monitored. Once we contact them, those people will find us soon. By then, not only us, but also our parents will be in danger."
Jiang Mingyue was suddenly startled and asked nervously: "Have they found Kyoto?"
"Yeah, but sister, don't worry. As long as we don't show up, it won't be that easy for him to find us."
Jiang Mingyue slowly exhaled and looked at her brother who was close at hand. Where did he get the news? It seemed that during this period, her brother had done a lot of things quietly behind her back.
"Leave it to me to entertain the matchmaker! If it doesn't work out, I can ask the people in the embroidery workshop for help."
Jiang Minghong nodded slightly and asked, "Sister, have you been to Jinxiufang?"
"Ok!"
"Where are Yu Gen and the others?"
"Pomegranate took them to the river to wash clothes. When I came back, I went to the pawn shop and bought two pairs of clothes for Xing'er and Xing'er. They had to wash them again before they could wear them."
"Sister, thank you for your trouble!"
Jiang Minghong stood up and said, "I'll go find a classmate to get a guarantee letter!"
"I'm with you!" Jiang Mingyue said.
"It's going to get hot soon. Sister, please don't get tired from running around with me. My brother will be back soon."
Jiang Mingyue heard this and touched Jiang Minghong's head.
"My brother is so kind!"
Jiang Minghong smiled and took the money and left home. The incident between his sister and Xie Yuan had such a huge impact on him that he still feels like he is dreaming.
When he took the initiative to approach Xie Yuan, although he had the intention of using him to save his parents, he never thought that one day his parents would become Xie Yuan's parents.
What I have to say is that the moment Xie Yuan agreed to save his parents, Jiang Minghong felt light all over, and the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a lot.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Minghong came to Ping'an Street, which is known as a poor street in the county. After getting along with him for this period of time, he had a general understanding of the situation of his classmates. Jiang Minghong knew who he could easily get. Certificate of guarantee.
He asked around as he walked, and soon found his first classmate.
After Jiang Minghong explained his purpose, he kept his attitude very low and only asked him for help.
After getting the certificate, he quietly left five taels of silver and then left.
An hour later, Jiang Minghong returned home with five guarantee certificates.
After a while, the two siblings went out with their household registration and letters of guarantee. At the same time, Xie Yuan arrived at the residence of the official matchmaker Qian Matchmaker carrying gifts.
After Xie Yuan explained his intention, Matchmaker Qian told Xie Yuan with a look of embarrassment that the schedule would be full for some time to come and she would not be free until the end of this month.
Naturally, Xie Yuan couldn't wait until the end of the month. He took out three taels of silver and handed it to Matchmaker Qian, saying that he must ask her for help.
Matchmaker Qian accepted the money, became very talkative, and suddenly mentioned the day to the ninth day of the lunar month.
Xie Yuan was quite satisfied with the result. He thanked Matchmaker Qian, left her residence, rented a carriage, went to Dongshi to do some shopping, and then returned to Xiejia Village. According to time calculation, the village had been It’s time for people to harvest in summer.
Although the grain output has been estimated, Xie Yuan can't feel at ease until he sees it with his own eyes. After all, this is related to his future career.
At the end of Si Shi, in Xiejia Village, Xie Yuan took the sickle and straw hat from the hands of the tribe, walked to the side of the old tribe leader, and cut wheat with him.
Patriarch Xie looked at the man grabbing the wheat and cutting it quickly, and laughed happily. Yes, Brother Yuan did not forget his roots after winning the prize.
Time passed bit by bit, and when the sun moved above his head, the sweaty Xie Yuan helped the old patriarch to sit down under the shade of a tree on the ridge, picked up the black clay pot on the ground, and handed it to him first.
Elder Xie was so happy that Xie Yuan respected him so much. He drank a few sips to quench his thirst and gave it to Xie Yuan.
The black clay pot contained not water, but rice wine, which was cold, sweet and had a hint of wine.
Xie Yuan held the clay pot and drank one mouth after another.
Seeing him drinking happily, the old patriarch smiled lovingly while stroking his beard.
