At noon the next day, Mu Xiaolu cooked the dishes himself and bought a jug of wine to put in the food box, and ordered Su Lin to deliver it to Qi Cheng.

Unexpectedly, Xiu Qing came back with Su Lin.

Mu Xiaolu was very upset, it was impossible for the family to prepare resting places and meals for Xiu Qing.

But Xiu Qing had a thick skin and insisted on eating in Mu Xiaolu's room.

Mu Xiaolu frowned and said: "If Master Hou feels wronged, go back to the city, you don't need to work here." Really, it's not enough to add to the chaos.

But Xiuqing saw Mu Xiaolu feed his younger brother a spoonful of food, his eyes were red with jealousy, and he kept aggrieved Bala and looked at Mu Xiaolu affectionately.

Wang Hui was angry in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.He secretly planned to come up with a good plan to avoid future troubles forever, otherwise his brother would be out of luck, and when he would do something big, it would be too late to regret it.It's just that there is no good plan at this time, so I have to endure it for the time being.

After a while after the meal, Aunt Jing ordered Su Lin to bring over a watermelon fruit plate.

Mu Xiaolu likes to eat fruits, cut them into small cubes and eat them on a plate with a bamboo stick.I have been wandering here for a long time without conditions. Now that my life is stable, I picked up this habit again.It's just that Wang Hui is more happy with his habit, thinking that he will often feed him fruit in the future, and you will have a bite, life will be sweet.Right now, he insisted on letting Mu Xiaolu feed him, and he hummed when Mu Xiaolu frowned.

Mu Xiaolu relented when he thought of Wang Hui's bloody battle with the leopard, so he fed him with a toothpick.Xiu Qing said: "I want to eat too, Xiao Yuan, you can feed me too."

Mu Xiaolu picked up the fruit plate and went out.

Wang Hui stared at his brother bitterly and said, "Can't you stop? He's not happy to see you. You'd better go back to the city. There's no place for you to live here."

Seeing everyone ignoring him, Xiu Qing was very depressed.

When I woke up this morning, I found that the pig farm was alone, and I slept soundly, who knows that it will be all done in a while.He asked Qi Cheng to cook, but Qi Cheng ignored him, and he ignored him when talking to him. He was like a deaf and dumb person. No one cares about being a donkey's liver and lungs.Xiu Qing also lost his temper, and left in a fit of anger.

But another person came in the afternoon, Guo Xiaowu.

Originally, Wang Hui didn't want Guo Xiaowu to come, because he was afraid that Mu Xiaolu would be unhappy.But Mu Xiaolu was too busy every day, so Mrs. Wang sent Guo Xiaowu to take care of him.

But Mu Xiaolu didn't care, he was happy to do his own thing, sometimes he went to the pig farm to see, and at night he no longer lived in the same room with Wang Hui, but squeezed with Xiaofei.In fact, now Xiaofei has been going to Taoyuan to meditate and practice Kungfu every night. It is said that it is a critical time and he cannot stop.

Wang Hui wanted to yell, seeing Guo Xiaowu here, afraid he would make a joke, so he held back.

Mu Xiaolu only went into the room to see Wang Hui when he was eating.Because if Mu Xiaolu hadn't fed him, Wang Hui wouldn't have eaten.Regarding this point, I don't care about him because of his serious injury, but secretly thinking that when Wang Hui recovers from his injury, he will be sent back to the farm as soon as possible.

Regarding the whole incident after meeting the leopard, Mu Xiaolu always felt that he was being calculated, but he couldn't find evidence, not to mention that the bloody wound was real.You can't say to others: You deserve it for being hurt, right?

Mu Xiaolu felt deeply powerless. Wang Hui neither forced himself nor did he do anything too extreme. no.

The eighth day of June was the day of the market. After breakfast, Mu Xiaolu watched the doctor change Wang Hui's medicine and fed him again, so he said to go out to buy rice.Wang Hui said, "Can't you let Su Lin buy it?"

Mu Xiaolu took out the rice bag and said, "Su Lin has something to do. You lie down in the room first, and I'll be back in a while."

Wang Hui pouted in displeasure, but he had no choice but to watch Mu Xiaolu go out.

After a cup of tea, I suddenly heard a woman's laughter coming from the backyard, the voice was clearly heard, it was a strange woman, she seemed to be quite old.The woman laughed and said: "The daughter of the old Li family at the east end of the town is twenty years old this year, and she is called Shui Ling. It is just right for your nephew."

Then I heard Aunt Jing's hesitant voice: "Oh, but my nephew has a son born to his ex-wife, he..."

The woman laughed again and again: "Ahaha! Why would you mind, your nephew is so outstanding, your family lives well, and you are related to the high officials in the city, it's too late for them to be happy, why do you mind this?"

"Well, my nephew went out to buy rice. I'll tell him when he comes back and see what he means."

"Oh! Your old man is an aunt, that is, a real mother. This is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Can't you still be the master?"

"It's better to discuss this."

"Okay then. I'll come back another day. I'll tell you secretly, the daughter of the Li family really looks like a flower. If you're afraid that I'll lie to you, if your nephew doesn't believe me, I'll make the decision and let him go secretly to see each other. , to keep you satisfied. Oh, by the way, don’t spread the word, I don’t say this to ordinary people!”

"Oh, okay, Aunt Qian is worrying, I'll tell him when Xiao Yuan comes back." Aunt Jing smiled and said goodbye, Wang Hui heard the voice crossing the lane next to his room and ran to the front yard, he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Aunt Jing was wondering.

Of course, what Aunt Jae Jing meant was that she hoped that her nephew would marry another daughter-in-law, this would be like a home!

But the general pursued his nephew closely, but the nephew didn't say anything, just froze.I don't know when it will be the end?

It's a good thing for someone to come to propose marriage, but... the general will definitely be angry.

Aunt Jing thought about it for a long time and decided to wait for her nephew to come back.

When Mu Xiaolu came back, he went to the kitchen to put down the rice first, washed his hands, and asked Su Lin to choose the vegetables first, and when the lunch was ready, he sent it to Qi Cheng.I went into the room and looked at Wang Hui, and saw him leaning against the head of the bed with a drawn face, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice that he came in.I didn't bother to talk to him, so I went to the backyard to meet my aunt and see what dishes were served at noon.

When Aunt Jing saw Mu Xiaolu came back, she quickly told him about the matter. Mu Xiaolu smiled and said, "Aunt Qian is so kind? But earlier, Su Lin told me that Aunt Qian secretly said that I, a big man, brought a A brother who is not married, but also brings a bottle of oil, and is sick, which girl would like this? Hehe, just tell her that I don’t want to marry now. Let’s talk about it later. "

Back in the bedroom, I wanted to change into a homely robe, but Wang Hui said with a smile: "Did my aunt tell you just now? Do you really want to get married?"

While changing clothes, Mu Xiaolu said casually: "I think, why not? Compared with men, of course I choose women, and my son must have a mother?"

"You, don't you miss me?"

"It's still the same sentence, you can also marry a wife and have children, General! It's not a problem for you to pester me with a man? Besides, you don't even have any offspring, what a grievance! So you still marry a wife go."

"You..." Wang Hui's heart was blocked, and all his sincerity was pierced to pieces.

Before going to bed at night, Wang Hui held Mu Xiaolu's hand tightly and said, "I won't let you get married!"

Mu Xiaolu was a little annoyed and said, "Why do you care about me? Why do you insist on letting me accompany you as a big man? I'll tell Aunt Qian tomorrow, don't you let me look after you? I'll get married if I look good!"

Wang Hui shook Mu Xiaolu's hand fiercely, and Mu Xiaolu cried out in pain.Wang Hui had no choice but to let go.

Unexpectedly, the pigs in the pig farm had a little fever the next day, so Mu Xiaolu hurried over and waited for three whole days before returning.

When I got home, I was in front of the door just in time for Aunt Qian to go out, and Aunt Jing followed behind.

Mu Xiaolu smiled and said, "Aunt Qian, go slowly."

"Ah, you're back? Hehe, I'll drop by my aunt's house when I'm free." Aunt Qian left in a panic without knowing what to say.

Mu Xiaolu asked Aunt Jing strangely as he entered the door: "What's wrong with Aunt Qian? She left in such a hurry? Didn't she promise me a kiss?"

Aunt Jing laughed and said, "This time, I'm not talking about kissing, but that the girl already has someone else."

"Huh? So fast, you got married in just three days?" Mu Xiaolu's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe it.

Aunt Jing also said strangely: "Auntie doesn't know, that's what Aunt Qian said. She said that the proposer was working for a high-ranking official in the capital, so he gave a dowry gift of 200 taels right away."

Mu Xiaolu immediately entered the room, Wang Hui was leaning against the head of the bed and was snickering, Mu Xiaolu came in, his smile was still on his face.

Mu Xiaolu asked helplessly, "Isn't Guo Xiaowu the one who proposed marriage?"

Wang Hui laughed so hard.Just dare not make a sound.After a while, he clutched his stomach and said: "Anyway, Guo Xiaowu doesn't have a wife, so I asked him to stop Aunt Qian and go on a blind date instead of you. It is said that she is really a beautiful girl. Guo Xiaowu fell in love with it. You see, I can't help it. You can't stand in the way of someone else's marriage. You're not so unmannered, are you?"

"You gave the 200 taels of silver, right?" Seeing Wang Hui smiling like a fox who stole a chicken, Mu Xiaolu couldn't help but expose him.

Wang Hui nodded sternly and said, "Guo Xiaowu has been with me for so many years, so it is right to give him some money to marry a wife."

Seeing his interruption, Mu Xiaolu turned back and went into the backyard. The most important thing was to see what to eat for dinner.I have to go to the peach orchard to weed at night. The green vegetables are almost edible, so I don’t need to buy vegetables in the future.Another savings.

Zhao Qing entrusted someone to bring two bolts of cocoon silk, some children's toys, and snacks from the city. He said that he would come to visit after he settled down.Mu Xiaolu's thoughts turned to Zhao Qing again.Those few bolts of cloth were obviously fresh and tender in color and beautiful in pattern, and they were for young women.

Mu Xiaolu saw her cousin blushing, and secretly made up her mind that she must pave the way for her cousin and make her happy for the rest of her life.I don't have much money now, for the sake of my cousin, I have to ask the old man for help, let the cousin get married as the granddaughter of the old man, the dowry can't be shabby, I still have 600 taels of silver in my hand, take out half, and the old man gave it to me before. If you sell your things again, you can make up a decent looking dowry.In the future, slowly return the old man's favor.

While meditating, Mu Xiaolu ate the preserved apricots made by his cousin, it tasted really good.After raising pigs and selling them for money, I will open a shop to sell preserved fruits, so that the money will increase. When I have a little money, I will give half of it to my cousin, so that my aunt will never have to worry about it.

Sure enough, Zhao Qing arrived as scheduled, still very simple, and rushed to work when he got home, Mu Xiaolu couldn't stop him.I thought to myself, has he all passed the true biography of Wang Hui?Why are everyone so thick-skinned?

Of course, Taoye wouldn't show up when Zhao Qing came, but sometimes she would occasionally pass by between the front and back yards.Every time Zhao Qing came, he came in the morning and left in the afternoon, he was in a hurry, he didn't sleep over, even if he did, Mu Xiaolu wouldn't reserve a room for him.

After coming here twice, he felt familiar, so Mu Xiaolu opened his mouth and pulled Zhao Qing to tell the truth: "Brother Zhao, I know you have feelings for my cousin. But the reason why I refused repeatedly is because our family has a strange habit. Ordinary people can’t accept it.”

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "What habit?"

"Uh~" Mu Xiaolu thought for a while and said, "Men in our family don't take concubines, and women don't serve as concubines."

"Naturally." Zhao Qing replied easily.

"Also, married men are not allowed to take concubines." Mu Xiaolu looked at Zhao Qing with blinking eyes.

"Uh~" Zhao Qing paused for a moment, then replied cautiously, "I won't marry a concubine."

"Hey!" Mu Xiaolu sighed, "Although my cousin is widowed, I don't look down on her. I still hope that she will marry a good husband and live a comfortable life as a couple for the rest of her life. In fact, this condition does not restrict anything. , I can’t help you even if you want to marry a concubine in the future, but I will do my best not to let my cousin be wronged. There are many men in the world, and I don’t think women should cling to men who don’t like them and live a hard life. I despise men who don’t love their wives, mess around with women, and set up a bunch of concubines. General Zhao, if he only cares about my cousin’s appearance and thinks about marrying another woman in the future, you’d better go early Find someone else."

"Don't worry, I won't!" Zhao Qing stood up all of a sudden, the muscles on his forehead popped out.

Mu Xiaolu smiled slightly: "Since brother Zhao can accept my conditions, I have nothing to say. Let's follow the rules. Three media and six certificates, none of them can be missing, and I will not ask for a betrothal gift."

Zhao Qing felt chills running down his spine, why is this future brother-in-law so difficult to deal with?

After Mu Xiaolu was busy with other things, Zhao Qing went to Wang Hui's room to complain, saying that he was almost scared to death just now, but fortunately his brother-in-law agreed.

Wang Hui said with a smile: "You boy! You should be left alone! I haven't got anything yet, but you will do it first. No, I can't get out of this tone. You have to give me something, or I will give you something." Make a trip!"

Zhao Qing immediately stood up and bowed to him, "General, please forgive me. My subordinate finally begged him to agree to my marriage with Taoye. You should stop making trouble and let me sleep well! I I haven’t slept well for many days.” Touching his forehead, he said: “The man the general likes is really extraordinary. He just told me not to marry a concubine, and said that there are plenty of men in the world, so he won’t let his cousin be wronged. But It's really shocking!"

Wang Hui said triumphantly: "That is, if an ordinary person can make your general bow down?"

Zhao Qing nodded, and the two chatted for a long time. Wang Hui found himself in Mu Xiaolu and began to talk about what he had done so far. Zhao Qing wiped off his sweat. She looked gentle and beautiful, but she was able to torture the general so that she lost her temper, which is really rare and difficult to deal with.I can't help but worry about my future days.But to get peach leaves, even a little bit of hardship is worth it.Thinking of this, Zhao Qing became happy again.

Now that the two parties have reached an agreement, Zhao Qing followed Mu Xiaolu's wishes and acted with three media and six certificates. The dowry did not dare to be sloppy at all, and almost spent more than half of his savings over the years, and part of it was his parents' living savings Jewelry and other jewellery.When all the dust settled, a month had passed, and the wedding date was set on the [-]th day of the first lunar month next year. Zhao Qing returned to the house she rented in Xiufeng City, and suddenly became limp. She fell asleep without eating dinner.

With the wedding date set and the dowry received, Mu Xiaolu began to prepare his cousin's dowry.Naturally, it must be more than the dowry gift given by Zhao Qing.Naturally, part of these betrothal gifts should be left for the aunt to take care of her, and the rest will go with the dowry.Zhao Qing is a poor boy, these betrothal gifts probably cost him a lot of money, can't my cousin live a poor life after marrying?

Mr. Wang gave 1000 taels of silver to add makeup. Mu Xiaolu felt that Mr. Wang had helped enough and wanted to shirk it. Mr. Wang said, "I'm old and I can't spend so much money. It's okay to let my granddaughter get married in a good way." The old man has a heart."

Mu Xiaolu couldn't be more grateful, with his own ability, he couldn't let his cousin get married as a noble lady, with such a decent dowry, this kind of favor is really great.But fellow countrymen, you should help, if you try to evade it, it will be hypocritical, so let's accept it, and you must be filial to the old man in the future.

Seeing what Mu Xiaolu said, the old man smiled and said, "Ahem, my old man has lived so many years, and met you again, so I don't have any regrets. It's just Ah Hong, alas, I can't let go of my heart."

Mu Xiaolu: "..." Or, just follow Wang Hui?The old man is really kind.But being oppressed is a man who doesn't want to, right?It's almost the same if I press him.

"Daddy~ Daddy"

"Qiaoqiu can talk now~Qiaoqiu, call me Daddy again!"

"Who told you to teach him to call him daddy?" As soon as Mu Xiaolu got home, he saw Wang Hui playing with Qiuqiu in his arms. Qiuqiu was really grinning and calling him daddy. Putting his finger in his mouth to eat, he couldn't help being both happy and angry. He hugged the child and said to Wang Hui, "I am his father! Have you washed your hands yet? You let him eat your finger!"
