Shelter in the pastoral

Xiuhe is Xu Quan's favorite girl, and now the matchmaker is boasting about Xu Quan's heaven and earth, and she is very shy when she hears it inside, her ears turn red, and her heart thumps when she thinks of him.

She had spoken to Xu Quan a few times, unmarried men and women would inevitably have other thoughts, but now that her wishes came true, she only knew that her face was blushing and her heart was beating, and she couldn't say a word.

Xiao Wang said: "I think Xu Quan is very good, and his family background is also simple." When she said this, she was a little bit embarrassed. When she got married, she and her husband were considered affectionate, but they couldn't stop the mother-in-law and sister-in-law from making trouble all of a sudden. , as time goes by, that little bit of kindness has long since been wiped away.

Since she was divorced and returned to her natal family, she heard that her husband had married a daughter-in-law who was very powerful, and the family quarreled every day.Even she had heard of it in Qingshui Village.In the past, her mother was afraid that she would care about some things and dare not say something in front of him, but in fact it was too much worry. Now she makes clothes and works as a small manager, talking and laughing with a group of people every day, and her life is more comfortable than when she was married a bit.

For example, Xu Quan's parents are both dead, and he is comfortable without his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and no one to control him.

Xiuhe whispered: "I just don't know if my father will agree."

Xiao Wang was a little surprised: "I don't think I disagree." According to her mother, such a good marriage can't be found even with a lantern, but she stopped talking when she thought about her family's situation. For a while, she couldn't figure it out.

Seeing her anxious look, Mrs. Wang said to her, "Don't worry, my mother is here."

Xiuhe just nodded.

After a while, Mrs. Wang came back and couldn't help pursing her lips in joy. She took a red bean paste bun in her hand and said, "Here, serious bean paste noodles." You, look at how thoughtful he is, he knows he is facing his wife before he even passes the door!"

Xiuhe felt embarrassed again, and said: "Aunt, sister, you can eat."

Now even Mrs. Wang joked with him: "It was given to you, how dare we eat it."

Xiuhe was still thinking about this matter, but she didn't care about being shy. She knelt down towards Aunt Wang and said, "Auntie, you are my savior. If it weren't for you, I would have been tortured to death by my stepmother... ...My mother died early, and you are my mother in my heart. Now that we are married, I am afraid that they will make trouble again. "

Aunt Wang hurriedly pulled her niece up and said, "Stupid boy, get up quickly, seeing you reminds me of my hard-working sister, who has been poor all her life and no one cares about her, and the little things she worked so hard to save are taken advantage of by others." Aunt Wang Said: "I'll go tell your father."

Xiuhe wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang and said, "My mother is amazing. You just wait for the good news if she is here."

Although Xiuhe was thinking about it, she had no choice but to wait quietly at home, fearing that she would slow down her aunt.

She is a good stitcher, but since Aunt Wang left, she is very disturbed, and she has poked her hand several times in a short time.Xiao Wang said: "Don't do it now, if my mother doesn't come back, you silly girl will poke your fingers."

Xiuhe said: "I don't know what's going on over there, I'm afraid my aunt will be wronged."

Xiao Wang said: "No." Her mother has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, she is always unforgiving and willing to fight, she has no chance in the countryside.

Xiuhe was always thinking about this matter, she was fine during the day, but at night she was restless.

Finally, I have been looking forward to and looking forward to bringing people back.

As soon as Aunt Wang came in, she took Xiuhe's hand and said, "Good boy, this matter is over." She had lost a lot of energy.

It's pretty much what everyone thinks.Xiuhe's father's brain is different from that of normal people.Normally, he would be overjoyed to get into such a good marriage, but the first thing he knew about the news was to ask how much dowry he could give.

Mrs. Wang scolded him, wanting money without thinking about her daughter's lifelong happiness.Today, Mrs. Fang and the matchmaker came and brought three taels of silver and four boxes of presents, which were taken away.

I knew that this family was open to money, and at first they only offered one tael of silver, but after some bargaining, they gave them all three taels of silver.

He did so absolutely, there was no leeway to see that he wanted to break up with Xiuhe like that.

Instead of being caught by her father, the Wang family asked their village chief to testify and write a document.For the sake of saving them, they will make trouble again when they see their lives are going well.Of course, there is no need to tell the niece about these messy things, just to say that it is done.

……

Liu Yechen peeped at Xu Quan.He and Fang Shujing almost regarded Xu Quan as a child, but he didn't expect him to find a wife for himself, and said, "It's a good thing."

Xu Quan felt embarrassed.

Fang Shujing said to Xu Quan: "You have been with me for such a long time, I will give you 30 taels of silver." Then he said: "If you get married, you will be an adult, and live a good life in the future. If you get married, don’t run around with us. If you have this ability, you can use this money to set up a store and start a small business, and you will be able to live comfortably.” Before that, he took Xu Quan’s body deed and canceled his slave status. It's free, and there's no need to go through the wind and rain with him.

Xu Quan burst into tears when he heard it, and said: "If it weren't for you, young master, I would have no life now. Even if I die for you, I would be willing to die for you. If I have to be married, I would have to separate from young master. I would rather not get married."

Fang Shujing said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu Yechen said: "Okay, you are adults who are going to get married, you don't want to cry like this."

Xu Quan carelessly touched his tears, looking a little aggrieved.

Fang Shujing really regarded him as his younger brother, and he felt a little emotional when he saw him like this, and said: "Okay, follow if you want to follow."

When Xu Quan got this sentence, he burst into laughter.

Fang Shujing wants to leave, and he doesn't have much time to stay in the village. Xu Quan's marriage needs to be handled as soon as possible, and so is Aunt Wang. They are afraid that Xiuhe's relatives and stepmother will make trouble, so getting married early will save nights and dreams. The two families hit it off and keep things simple.To marry a new wife, Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen will officiate for them, and Little Shanzha will roll off the bed for them.

Everyone in the village said that only Xu Quan had such a big face.

Although everything is simple, there is still a day's running table.

Although the people in Qingshui Village are living a better life, eating meat is not like eating meat whenever they want.The Fang family has ten dishes, six meat dishes, and four vegetarian dishes.You can eat what you usually can't eat now.

The family has been busy all day.

Fang Shujing is very willing to personally block the wine.It is a custom to pour the bridegroom in the village.But who dares to pour the master Juren.So Xu Quan escaped smoothly.

Slipped away early, and the banquet outside was still going on.Fang Shujing went back to the house early.Xu Quan has his own house, so it's his place to get married.

It's a strange feeling to have someone in the family get married.Fang Shujing just drank two glasses of wine and wanted to hug Little Hawthorn, but Little Hawthorn would not follow him.

The soft son knew how to rub against Liu Yechen's arms.

Fang Shujing was disgusted by Little Hawthorn several times, and she lost her temper after being tossed about.Mei Zhe had no choice but to take a sip of tea and press it down.

Then he pinched his son's small ears with his hands.

Little Hawthorn moaned and complained to Liu Yechen.

Fang Shujing said: "This brat is really smart. I was very obedient when I held him before. Now in your arms, he has a backer."

Liu Yechen also found his little hawthorn very interesting, obviously only a little big but very smart: "Son, don't bully daddy."

"Ah." Zai Zai became much more obedient in his arms.

Fang Shujing said: "This child is so clingy, is he going to sleep?"

Only then did Liu Yechen suddenly realize that children were supposed to take a nap at noon, but today the adults are busy, so Little Hawthorn didn't get to sleep.Being fierce and clingy now is actually sleepy.

Reminded by Fang Shujing, Liu Yechen coaxed the child to sleep.Little Hawthorn fell asleep after a while, and gently placed him in his baby's bed.

Fang Shujing said: "I am very happy today." Xu Quan has grown up after getting married.

His affairs were arranged by Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen. Although the marriage was rushed, they had everything they should have.The bridal sedan chairs are blowing and blowing, the Double Happiness stickers on the doors and windows, and the banquet outside the red bride and groom suits.It can be regarded as sending the two into the bridal chamber.

Fang Shujing suddenly remembered an important thing and forgot: "Did you put the bottom of the box for him?"

Liu Yechen blushed all of a sudden. The so-called bottom of the press box is a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.Regardless of men and women or brothers, there are people who teach before getting married.

Xu Quan had no parents, so this matter naturally fell on him and he forgot.

Liu Yechen said: "No. You...you didn't say anything."

Fang Shujing said: "Forget it, all men know about such things."

Liu Yechen hummed.

Fang Shujing looked at his daughter-in-law and suddenly asked curiously: "When you married me, Master was not by your side, did someone teach you?"

Liu Yechen blushed even more: "I'm too lazy to talk to you." While speaking, he returned to the bed and turned his back, his face was so hot.

……

The next morning, Xu Quan and Xiuhe got up early and kowtowed to Fang Shujing. Fang Shujing gave them a few delicate silver ingots and put them in their purses as red envelopes.

It was only then that they saw Xu Quan's wife was very gentle and generous, her voice was not loud, and her oval face looked very blessed.

Originally, Fang Shujing wanted to leave a long time ago, but Xu Quan and the others just got married, so they postponed it for a few days.Let them live longer in the village.

Finally packed up and left.

When I left this time, I took advantage of the cooking time in the village.Their family has already attracted people's attention, and I'm afraid it will attract more attention.

A total of three carriages were loaded, all of which were everyone's clothes and things, most of which were rice noodles from small hawthorns.

The food they planted this year will soon be harvested.I have already discussed with my family to take half of the rice and grind it into rice noodles.

They planted five acres of grain, and Fang Shujing won the fame without paying taxes.All the grain produced was ground into rice flour. I knew he would pamper the children, but I didn't expect him to be so pampering.How much is that?Twenty more kids couldn't finish it.

But the Fang family also agreed, and the above book is also casual in the matter of pampering children.

They drive all the way.Because there are old people and children, there is no rush along the way.Basically, just walk for a day and find an inn to rest.By the way, looking at the local characteristics and scenery is like traveling.

The original three-day journey was rushed for eight days before finally arriving in Yangping County.I heard that cloth is produced here.But Fang Shujing frowned as soon as he entered the city.People on the street are dressed in shabby clothes and the whole city looks gray.It seems to be a desolate countryside, so it shouldn't be. How can a product with such characteristics as fabrics be so shabby? This doesn't match the information he got before.

They went directly to the county government office, which seemed to have been prepared for a long time.A chubby master said: "Greetings to Mr. Fang, I am busy with business and I have no time to get away to greet you in person, please forgive me."

He said it very humbly.Fang Shujing hummed and didn't say much. He didn't know what this person meant, and he didn't know if he was really busy with work or if he was giving him a blow.

The master kept begging for forgiveness, but he was also very surprised to see Fang Shujing.I heard that he was young, but I didn't expect him to be so young. It is really rare for a master Juren in his 20s to come directly to become an official.

Then he said to him: "We have prepared the mansion for the master." He said: "You follow me." Walking all the way to a place not far from the county government, there is a brand new mansion, which is very large inside The decoration is also magnificent.There are all kinds of porcelain furniture in the house, but everything is new!

Little Hawthorn sneezed, and then cried out in dissatisfaction.

Fang Shujing knew that his child had been purified by a spiritual spring, and his nose was exceptionally sensitive. His family was also in the wood business, and it took a long time to dry the paint. If the surface was dry and the inside was not dry, it would be bad for the child.

Fang Shujing said: "The child doesn't like to sleep in a place that is too new, is there anything else?"

The master's smile froze on his face, he didn't expect that the place that was carefully prepared was not rewarded.But since Fang Shujing let go of his words, he had no choice but to find another place: "Yes..." He found a place urgently. The yard was not too big, and it looked very similar to the house they lived in Qingshui Village. Everyone Stop here for a while. "

Fang Shujing wanted to find out about the affairs of Yangping County, and asked them to clean up the house first, Fang Shujing said, "Where did the county magistrate live?"

At first glance, it was stripped and re-covered!

The master laughed and said: "The former county magistrate made a mistake and was afraid that you would make a taboo, so he demolished it and rebuilt it." Officials are very superstitious about feng shui.

"Oh? What happened?" Fang Shujing asked.

"Corruption." The master said, it's not a secret. Instead of letting others tell it, it's better for him to say it, so as to please the new young county magistrate: "10 taels were embezzled."

When Fang Shujing heard this number, his pupils shrank suddenly.
