Li Xiucai took the talk for Lin Xiucai, and when she saw that her cousin Mo Xiaohe agreed happily, she was a little embarrassed, she understood the reason, but it was just about money, and she had to talk about it, for fear that because of this, it would affect the feelings of the sisters and have a pimple in each other's hearts.

"Xiaohe, he told me that a box will give you sixty yuan for manual fees, flour, sugar and eggs, all of which are from our side."

Li Xiu was not born to do business, I thought about it for a long time, and after asking my eldest brother Li He, I knew that Lin Xiucai also wanted to make a sum of money in the middle, which was a difference, she felt a little uncomfortable, and then I thought about it, no one wants to take care of things, no one has any interests, who can do it? At least, he's certainly not the kind of well-wisher.

"It's fine."

Mo Xiaohe is transparent, thinking that Lin Xiucai is quite business-minded, he produces materials, and he generally does not cut corners here, affecting the taste of the biscuits, both parties make money, which is a win-win situation, Lin Xiucai can also sell the servants a favor, and he will not suffer at all.

In addition, prices are soaring, and the family has saved some white noodles, but it is not enough for such a large expenditure, and they have to go to various grain stores to queue up to buy grain, which just saves time, time and effort.

Lin Xiucai did things neatly, and sent someone to send flour and other things early the next morning, and said that it was not enough to continue to add, so he found a shop to customize a gift box for biscuits, with four small compartments in the middle, and four flavors were put respectively.

It tastes better to make biscuits and add some milk, but Mo Xiaohe didn't have time to experiment, and besides, some people in Dawu couldn't accept the taste of milk, thinking that it was a cheap thing, and the young ladies of the rich family liked sheep colostrum the most.

"Xiaohe, I'm here to help, what do you think I can do?"

Li Xiu always feels a little too much, three hundred boxes is not a small amount, these days I am afraid that I have been busy getting up early and being greedy for darkness, approaching the New Year, every household is busy, if it is not for her fiancé to take the initiative to mention, she will definitely embroider pillows and quilts at home.

"Let's crack the eggs."

There is no whisk, it will take at least a quarter of an hour just by hand, Mo Xiaohe did a good demonstration, Li Xiu did it, it was not difficult, it was troublesome, because it was too hard, she saw sweat for a while.

Wiping the corners of his forehead with his sleeve, Li Xiu asked, "Xiaohe, is there any news from my aunt, she won't come back this year, right?" ”

It's another year, time is in a hurry, Mo Xiaohe's eyes darkened, Mother Li and Daddy Mo Jingshan, eldest brother Mo Huaiyuan is bound to stay in Kyoto, after the New Year, it will be a test, and the eldest brother will take a scientific examination, and it will definitely not be tossed thousands of miles away, and there is not enough time.

Seeing the Chinese New Year, she has not yet received a letter from her mother Li, Mo Xiaohe has a little sense of loss of being abandoned, her mother will never forget her, right?

"It's going to take at least a month to get to us from Kyoto, maybe it's a delay on the way."

Li Xiu's subordinates were not slow, comforting their cousin, a woman marrying her husband has nothing to do with her mother's family in essence, so it is no wonder that the daughter who marries out and spills out the water, it is no wonder that she can go to Kyoto to find a good family, but the Wen family has never had the idea of climbing high branches.

"My mother said that I was just a country girl, and I didn't want to do anything if I found a safe person to live."

There are many high-ranking families, Li Xiu looks average, and she is not particularly outstanding, she has not seen much of the world, she is self-aware, she can find a husband like Lin Xiucai, she is very content, remembering her paranoia at the time, she only thinks that she is too naïve, and her mind is not clear for a while.

"Xiaohe, my mother said that my brain can't turn around, it's hard to brain, you can still figure it out."

Li Xiu was very envious, she even thought about it before, if her cousin was bought by the thigh of the pheasant, hare and pig sent by Gu Zheng, it was not that he didn't marry, since Mo Xiaohe got married, he never mentioned the county son.

"This ......"

Mo Xiaohe is poor in words, what does this have to do with her? It's the predecessor who likes a little white face, a scholar, and thinks that the other party is a county commander, and it is good to want to be a concubine, and there will be a son and a half daughter in the future, and there will be a dependency in the second half of his life.

The concubine of the county commander's son, who is half a master, eats fragrant and spicy food, applies fat and powder, and can get a few maids and wives to serve her, and her predecessor is shallow-eyed, and she always thinks that it is not a shame to be a concubine, but a concession to pursue true love.

During the conversation, only the last baking procedure left to make biscuits was the most critical, Mo Xiaohe couldn't grasp the heat well, so she had to ask her husband Gu Zheng for help, she and Li Xiu went to the hall to drink tea and eat melon seeds.

Whether it is beating eggs or kneading dough, it looks simple, and after doing it for half an hour, Li Xiu's shoulders are sore, she leaned back on the chair, took a deep breath, and showed a confused look in her eyes, "After getting married, in the end, it is someone else's daughter-in-law, although the in-laws are good, I am still cautious when I get along with them." ”

Being a girl is different from being a daughter-in-law, there is basically no one like Mo Xiaohe who is so comfortable, there is no in-law to take care of, and the husband is considerate, so there is really no trouble.

"Who's all women come over like this, you see that the eldest aunt and grandmother get along well."

Under the same roof, there will definitely be stumbles, as a junior, let it go, Lin Xiucai is shrewd, if Li Xiucai is wronged and endures, he knows in his heart that he will definitely make up for her by being a little better.

The way of getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mo Xiaohe can't impart experience, and she is not without troubles, her mother-in-law Mrs. Gu eloped with Qing Barley, who was a teenager younger, and now she is in the border city, and she has to avoid people from Licheng at all times, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, she will not tell anyone, just because it involves Gu Zheng's face.

"Little Lotus ......"

Li Xiu hesitated for a moment, stood up, looked at the door, and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, she closed the door, her face was uncertain, her face was blue and white, and she seemed to have something unspeakable.

"Cousin, what is hidden between our sisters?"

Mo Xiaohe saw Li Xiu's entanglement, she held her cheeks, her dark eyes flashed, with curiosity, "You say it, I may be able to give you an idea." ”

Li Xiugang wanted to say that Gu Zheng was calling someone in the stove, but Mo Xiaohe hurriedly responded and hurriedly went out.

The aroma of biscuits came from the stove room, and the heat on both sides was just right, Gu Zheng put the iron plate on the board to dry, and was about to put down another plate, "Leave this to me, your arm is sore, how do you eat at night?" ”

Mo Xiaohe's face turned red when she heard this, she was behind Gu Zheng, hugging his sturdy waist, he was burning a fire in the stove, there was the smell of firewood on his body, but it didn't smell bad, Mo Xiaohe rubbed his head against his back, and his body was tighter.

A few days ago, when she made biscuits for the first time, she beat eggs and strained her arm, she was trembling with chopsticks in her hand when eating, pinched a muscle, fell on the table, sandwiched cabbage, and fell to the ground again, Gu Zheng was like a child of a few years old, feeding her to eat, and busy with her massage, just pressing, changing places with her hands, and then the husband and wife fought fiercely all night.

"Let's go to the hall and sit down for a while."

Gu Zheng felt that his body was hot, especially after his back came into contact with the softness, he turned around and touched his lady's hair with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Be good, I'll give it to you at night." ”

"That's not what I meant!"

Mo Xiaohe covered her face with both hands, stomped her feet and ran away, just based on his simple words, she suddenly found that her body was a little numb, dizzy and swollen, and there were many fierce pictures in her mind.

It's so tempting! After so long, she still can't resist the temptation, Mo Xiaohe is a modern person, and it is inevitable that she will always feel that she is always in reverie about her husband's figure, too arrogant, but she really can't control it.

Back in the hall, Li Xiu's mood calmed down a little, she suddenly held Mo Xiaohe's hand, and said calmly, "Xiaohe, I may be unchaste." ”

Unchaste? Mo Xiaohe opened her mouth and looked at Li Xiu in a daze, with a bad premonition in her heart, she hurriedly asked, "What does it mean to be unchaste?" ”

"That's it...... I may not be a virgin. ”

Li Xiu may still think that what he said just now was not direct enough, and he made it clear in one sentence, "Actually, after the marriage, I couldn't sleep well all night, I was afraid that I would be found on the wedding night, and he would dislike me." ”

This is a secret, she has never told anyone, her mother has hidden it, she wanted to marry Feng Dachun before, but there is no reason for this, Feng Dachun is a Dayue person, she has no relatives in Dawu, and she has been in prison, she showed her stuffing on the wedding night, and she may choose to tolerate. The north wind was blowing outside the window, the Korean paper was whirring, entering the wax moon, the weather was getting colder and colder, Mo Xiaohe was next to the stove, but she didn't feel the temperature at all, she only felt the cold on the soles of her feet.

Not a virgin, unchaste, what does it mean? If you are broken before you get married, it will be a stain for a lifetime. At that time, her predecessor fell into the water, was rescued by Gu Zheng, and carried home, just this intimate contact made her lose her reputation, not to mention being unchaste!

There is also a cousin Mo Daya, who was unmarried and pregnant, had to enter the door, and almost served a husband with Widow Zhang. The mother and son of the Li family are certainly not good things, but if it weren't for Mo Daya's despise of herself, how could she not get any respect?

"Cousin, you're not kidding, are you?"

Mo Xiaohe didn't believe it, Li Xiu lived in a simple house on weekdays, and his aunt was watching, how could he have a chance......

"Xiaohe, I feel uncomfortable, but I don't dare to tell my mother."

Li Xiu wiped her tears, endured it, and finally lay on the table, crying bitterly, she really didn't know why she had such an encounter! She hadn't been truly happy since that nightmare.

"I was only eight years old that day, and I was still a little yellow-haired girl."

Liu Xiu told the dusty past for many years, but she still couldn't help but cry, she choked for a long time before she had the courage to continue.

At that time, it was the busy farming season, and everyone in the village was busy working in the fields, leaving her alone at home, feeding the chickens and ducks, doing some chores, steaming rough noodles and steamed buns at noon, and adding water to a bowl of pickles and sending them to the field.

"I just came back, and there was an old man in the village, about fifty years old, with gray hair."

Li Xiu bit her lip, because she was too hard, blood beads were already on her lips, Mo Xiaohe quickly squeezed her cousin's hand, she could almost predict the next plot, "What happened can't be changed, let's think of a remedy." ”

"If you listen to me, if you don't say it, I always have a big stone in my heart."

After Feng Dachun's incident, Li Xiu didn't want to get married, and delayed it again and again, who would have expected that she would be sincere to Lin Xiucai later, and she liked Lin Shuang, it was precisely because of this that she felt guilty, and she didn't have the courage to say it.

"The old man wanted to ask for a sip of water, and he said he happened to be passing by the village."

The old man smiled, looking very kind, usually someone came to the door to ask for water, which is normal, she didn't care too much, so she scooped a bowl of water for the old man.

"Little girl, aren't your parents at home?"

The old man squinted his eyes, stroked his beard with his hand and asked Li Xiu, Li Xiu saw that this person was older than his grandfather, and he was not vigilant at all, and replied obediently, "Busy farming, they have all gone to the field." ”

The old man was very strange, and after drinking the water, he sat down on the big stone under the tree to cool off, "and he said that it was hot, so he took off his clothes. ”

The men in the village were shirtless at most, and few of them stripped off their upper bodies directly, Li Xiu clearly remembered that the old man's skin was wrinkled, and there were many ugly spots on it.

He beckoned her over, hugged her in his lap, kissed her little face, and his hands began to be dishonest. At that time, Li Xiu was young, and her father and mother only said that women should not get close to men, but she only felt uncomfortable, twisting her body and struggling.

"Grandpa is Lang Zhong, and he is treating you."

The white-bearded old man was clever and coaxed Li Xiu, he said that he was a Langzhong, and he came to see a doctor for the people in the village, but he went to the wrong village, and he was grateful for Li Xiu's kindness in giving water, so he showed her if there was any illness.

"Grandpa, am I sick?"

Li Xiu still doesn't know a lot, I heard that the doctor's parents are hearty, she didn't care much, last year there was a cold, which made her have a fever for three days and three nights, almost took half her life, and drank bitter medicine soup for a month in a row.

What the old man said was just in line with Li Xiu's psychology, she was still young at that time, she was very simple, and all the emotions on her face were revealed.

"Take off your pants and let me take a closer look at you."

After the old man finished speaking, he was about to take off Li Xiu's pants. Can't be naked casually, Li Xiu struggled, and was sent away by the old man in a few words, "Doctors never taboo this, you see that someone has an injury on the buttocks, doesn't Lang Zhong have to help diagnose and treat it?" ”

"Your illness is very serious, and if it weren't for me, it might have cost a lot of silver."

At the mention of silver, Li Xiu hesitated, she was young, but she knew that her family was not rich, and her brother was an apprentice to make an iron shop in the town, and he cried home some time ago, and his father and mother were sad, so that he could have a skill, and he would have the ability to eat in the future, so he had to endure the pain and send him to the town.

If you spend money to see a doctor, won't your family be poorer? My aunt just gave me a piece of pork belly a few days ago, and my grandmother made bacon meat, and I was reluctant to eat it on the eaves all the time, and Li Xiu only knew that the family had no money.

"I wiped my tears and took off my pants, and I was ...... by that old whore"

Li Xiu was difficult to speak, afterwards, the man also threatened her, if she said it, she would get sick and die, she felt that something was wrong at a young age, she subconsciously, she was violated, so she held it in her stomach, until two years later, she washed clothes by the river, listened to the old woman in the village tell meat jokes, and finally understood.

"I feel so dirty, I have to take a shower every day, and I want to die clean."

Just in time for that time, Wen's health was not good, and Li Xiu had to take care of housework inside and out, so he gradually forgot about it, anyway, it was better to die than to live, and it was a day to be delayed.

"The old man seemed to have disappeared and never been seen again."

Li Xiu wanted to take revenge, but she couldn't find anyone, she hated and resented, why was she so naïve, she blamed her mother a little in her heart, she didn't tell her about men and women earlier, if she was told, she would still be deceived**?

"What a scourge!"

Mo Xiaohe gritted his teeth, the old man was a habitual offender at first glance, with rich experience, and the ability to observe words and feelings. Generally, women have to come to a small day to understand some things about men and women, this is early, and on the eve of marriage, she was stuffed with a spring palace map by her mother, and she was still in a state of ignorance.

"Xiaohe, what should I do? I can't really find anyone to talk about this. ”

Li Xiu has no good sisters, she grew up with Mo Xiaohe, although her cousin was high before, but it was not annoying, she thought that Mo Xiaohe's father was a showman, and her eldest brother was also a scholar, the first one in the village, she looked charming and had a high vision.

As the pre-marriage approached, Li Xiu became more and more anxious, and the whole person lost weight. Wen thought she was too tired and didn't let her do housework, so she made meat dishes almost every day, or chicken soup and big bone broth to replenish her body.

"You make me think."

This question stumped Mo Xiaohe, I really didn't know that my cousin had experienced such a heavy thing. If you hide it on your wedding night, what can you do to hide it? She couldn't think of a good way, she gave it to Gu Zheng once in her two lifetimes, although he was very gentle, the first night still made her feel painful.

"I think it's better to let my aunt help figure it out."

The Wen family has lived so long and is well-informed, maybe there is a way, and the Wen family is Li Xiu's mother, and he can't be closer, and he is not afraid of the secret being leaked.
