Chapter 157: Li Xiu's Husband

readx; Before dawn, Mo Xiaohe was awakened by the sound of rain outside the window, she rubbed her eyes, rubbed the oil lamp hanging on it, lit it and looked at the window, the rain was not heavy, but the rain was very urgent, the window opened a small gap, and a fishy smell of earth mixed with the freshness of the grass and trees made her sober suddenly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Thanks to the tossing and supper last night, she found that the washed clothes were dry, so she took them away, otherwise they would have been washed in vain. It's almost autumn, the weather is very hot, the clothes are over the water a day, and it is not troublesome, Mo Xiaohe loves to be clean than the little lady in the village, and the husband and wife will take a shower and wash every day.

"Put it on, it's cool."

Gu Zheng put on a coat for Mo Xiaohe behind her, added a fur cushion to the chair, and there was boiling hot water between the stoves, he brought a pot of tea, and took out the remaining snacks.

The sky was fine last night, this rain, there is really no warning, look at the rain, the dawn may not stop.

"Husband, help me write it down, buy a bag of plums when I go to town."

Mo Xiaohe is a little forgetful, she doesn't care about many things, she used to write them down in a notebook, but now that Gu Zheng is here, she has a lot of worries.

"Okay."

Gu Zheng silently remembered in her heart, her own lady didn't like plums very much, not to say that only pregnant women like to eat them, she wanted to buy them, but she was looked at by the guy with strange eyes, and then she hadn't eaten them for a long time.

"It's used to make tea, plum green tea."

This time from the return trip from Dayue, passing through the tea city, the tea is delicious and cheap, Mo Xiaohe bought more than a dozen cans, used to visit relatives and friends or drink by himself, yesterday when I made canned fruit, I came to inspiration, remembered that I used to like plum green tea, some sweet and sour, and there is the aroma of tea, I remembered.

Gu Zheng is used to playing a trick with his own lady from time to time, in short, she is happy, it is also very interesting to live like this, he can always find some new things, such as canned fruit, which is very simple, but he didn't expect it to taste so good.

Simple brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, Mo Xiaohe took a bite of dim sum, in a time-honored shop in the town, she used to think the taste was okay, but since she was raised by the chefs of Dayue Kyoto Mo Mansion and Jing Zhao Yin Mansion, such a crude pastry is a little unpalatable.

In Kyoto, in order to please her, the future sister-in-law Zhang Xianxian sent some this and that from time to time, pastries are a must-have, among which the most impressive thing for her is Qingming fruit.

The Zhang family doesn't like sweets, what they sent was a salty fruit with lace like dumplings, the filling inside is very particular, fried with pickles, old tofu, winter bamboo shoots and pork belly, it tastes delicious, but unfortunately now is not the time, Dawu does not have the Qingming grass of Dayue Kyoto, and he can't make that taste.

At dawn, the rain gradually stopped, and light raindrops fell sparsely, Gu Zheng used the leftover chicken from yesterday to make two large bowls of hot noodle soup, and the couple had breakfast and began to discuss whether to go down the mountain.

She wanted to wait at home for a day, but she was afraid that her eldest aunt and cousin Li Xiu, who were in the shop in the town, would be in a hurry and couldn't make up her mind.

"Let's go down the hill then."

I didn't buy much oil at home, and Mo Xiaohe boiled fish, and used up most of it, and there were not a few greens left, so I just went down the mountain to buy some more.

Gu Zheng found a hat and a thick rainproof linoleum cloth and gave it to his wife, he wrapped the pickled pheasant and hare in a large piece of oiled paper, and put a cloth pocket on the outside.

After getting ready, seeing Mo Xiaohe staring at Lingyi's wandering world, he wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's only one set of robes."

Mo Xiaohe hesitated, the rain is not strong at present, the sky is dark, there is no posture to stop at all, maybe halfway through, the rain will be urgent, she knows that there is only one set of clothes, and her husband will definitely give it to her.

"I'll just wear linoleum cloth, and I'll carry you."

Gu Zheng patted his back and motioned Mo Xiaohe to come up, the road was slippery on a rainy day, and the village was full of yellow mud, it was not easy to walk, and his shoes would be dirty.

"How's that going to work?"

Mo Xiaohe took a step back and shook her head again and again, even if she was thin, she still had a weight of ten catties, and the most taboo thing about going down the mountain was that her center of gravity was unstable, and she was not so squeamish, she resolutely did not let Gu Zheng suffer, she refused, "Husband, I can go by myself." ”

Gu Zheng still maintained a posture, insisted on carrying his own lady, and the two walked together, he was not at ease, and he had to pull her along, delaying the work, it was better for him to carry it, with his footsteps, he didn't have to rest halfway, and he would go down the mountain soon.

"You're not heavy."

Gu Zheng's dark eyes were deep, he looked directly into Mo Xiaohe's eyes, and said seriously, "When I used to hunt, I carried a wild boar down the mountain on my back, and the wild boar was at least a hundred or ten catties. ”

He can easily carry it to the town, after all, he has a martial arts foundation, although he is often ignored by him.

Mo Xiaohe's face was black, and she was immediately speechless, and the appearance of lying on Gu Zheng's back flashed in her mind, and then flashed, and she turned into an ugly wild boar with fangs and black hair, and even compared her to a wild boar, was it really not intentional?

"Hmph, go up, go up, then you carry me, it's just that I'm too lazy to walk."

Mo Xiaohe ran up, rode on Gu Zheng, and slapped his back twice with his small hand, he didn't see the triumphant light in Gu Zheng's eyes at that moment, his face was no longer rigid and serious, but a little more cunning.

The moisture in the forest, mixed with the fragrance of the soil, was washed by the rain, the leaves were greener, without a trace of dust, crystal clear, Gu Zheng's shoulders occasionally rubbed the low trees, and the dew on them crackled, splashing Mo Xiaohe's face.

Passing by the wild grape bush near the cemetery, Mo Xiaohe picked two grains, which were still a little sour, and they could only ripen after about half a month.

On rainy days, the villagers did not rest, they were still busy in the fields, and when they saw the husband and wife duo, they would stop to say hello, perhaps the gifts given were useful, and the villagers had a more relaxed attitude towards Gu Zheng, and they could also say a few words.

"Xiaohe, what are you doing? Why don't you borrow an ox cart? ”

There is a kind-hearted lady in the village, seeing that the two of them are going out of the village, she is busy asking a word, from the village to the town, I don't know how long it will take to walk on a rainy day, although she thinks that the ugly hunter marrying a flower in the village is a blessing from the previous life, but she is a little blind to such a favorite lady, and she thinks in her heart, Mo Xiaohe is like this, a bit of a bully.

"No, I twisted my foot when I went down the mountain, and my husband took me to the town to see the injury, and he walked fast."

When the farm is busy, there is no shortage of cattle in the field, Mo Xiaohe laughed dryly, for the aunt who gave her special attention, she explained nonsense, she didn't bully Gu Zheng, he looked loyal and honest, but he was black-bellied, maybe any sentence was wrapped in, and she suffered countless losses.

Gu Zheng was very steady every step, step by step, lying on his broad back, Mo Xiaohe stretched out his head, took advantage of the time when no one was around, pasted Gu Zheng's face, and then dishonestly took his ear beads in his mouth, she found that his face was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Husband, let me down, the front is sandy, and I won't get my shoes dirty."

Mo Xiaohe was clamoring to come down, not far away, at the end of the town, there was a street in the town, and she could get to the blacksmith shop after a few turns, she was not afraid of others, she was afraid of her cousin Li He's skills, and he was a big mouth, spread out, maybe a town would know about it.

As soon as they arrived at the blacksmith's shop, the eldest aunt Wen and Li Xiu came out from inside, and the two of them didn't care about the rain, so they took Mo Xiaohe's hand and looked at it, if she didn't live in the mountains, the two couldn't find a place, and they would have rushed over a long time ago.

"Xiaohe, where is your father? Will you come back later? ”

"Xiaohe, in the past six months, I have earned dozens of taels of silver......"

The focus of the mother and daughter is obviously not in the same place, Li Xiu pulled Mo Xiaohe into the room and hung Gu Zheng to the door, she really didn't mean it, and she still hasn't accepted the fact that her cousin has married a wife.

"It will take a while for my father and mother to come back, but I heard that the clan is going to move, and they may move to Yingchuan, Dayue."

Mo Xiaohe turned around and made a gesture to her husband, so that she could rest assured that she would follow Li Xiu into the door, and her father and mother would not be there in the future, she only had her mother's relatives on Li's side and her cousin Mo Daya to move around.

"It's the pattern you gave me, the shopkeeper likes it very much, and it sells well, so he asked me to do embroidery all the time."

Li Xiu's embroidery is good, that is compared with the people in the village, she is a rare skillful person, now for embroidery, she has not done rough work, before washing clothes and other work, all fell on her mother Wen's body, in order to let her raise her hands, afraid of grinding fine silk materials.

For more than half a year, dozens of taels of silver came into the account, which was no less than what Li He earned, and she wanted to make more money and return the money to Mo Xiaohe for buying the shop. At the beginning, he said that he was good, and his cousin Mo Xiaohe threw in the silver, and then took the commission, but he never took it, so he changed the law to help the family.

Brother, settle accounts, Li Xiu thought, she couldn't take advantage of her cousin, she had been thinking about it for so long.

"Cousin, don't be too tired, spend your eyes carefully."

The embroidery lady in the town's embroidery workshop works day and night, and the average person is in his twenties, his eyes are spent, he can't see things clearly, and some people are blind because of this.

"I know, I don't do it at night, I'm afraid I can't see clearly, I can't distinguish the line, and I don't want to spend lamp oil."

Li Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, with a few freckles on her face, the expression was much more vivid, she could make money, make a lot of money, she had a little confidence, and she was much more cheerful, and there was a big gap between her previous cowering appearance.

Wen couldn't interject, and secretly sighed that she was old, she mainly cared about Mo Xiaohe's family affairs, she only said that she was married, but she didn't expect the ceremony to be held so soon, and she, who was an uncle, didn't see it with her own eyes, and she was a little regretful.

"I told my cousin, didn't he convey it?"

Mo Xiaohe twitched the corners of her mouth, her cousin was so noisy, she was stuck on key issues, and she didn't give any strength, so she had to turn into a repeater and repeat what she had said to Li He.

"The first beauty in the border city, how beautiful is it?"

Li Xiu held her cheeks, the girl's heart was bubbling with pink bubbles, with the habits of the Great Wu people, there is always a mysterious concern, they have no resistance to beauty at all, just like at this time, Li Xiu's eyes became peach-shaped, her cheeks were pink, and she silently thought, "How beautiful is a man who is more beautiful than a woman?" ”

"This ......"

Mo Xiaohe rolled her eyes, as a cousin, shouldn't she pay attention to her cave candles? The limelight was stolen by the rabbit spirit Xu Yanhui. Sure enough, in Dawu, beauties are always treated with special treatment.

"Shhhh

made a silent gesture to prevent her cousin from screaming, Mo Xiaohe pointed out the door, her husband is still there, if she knows, she will be jealous, then she will not have a good life. There are two portraits, one was given to her by the narcissistic rabbit spirit, which was plated with a layer of gold powder, and Mo Xiaohe left it, mainly because he liked the value of the gold powder. There is another one, which she drew from her own memory.

"The one I drew can be given to you."

The two gave each other a look, and snickered twice in tacit understanding, and Mo Xiaohe found the feeling before getting married again. The Mo family's ancestral secret recipe is easy to use, and now looking at it, Li Xiu is more than a year older than her, and the curve on her chest is not as obvious as her.

Outside the door, Gu Zheng was helping to chop firewood, there was a shed in the shop, and there was firewood underneath, all of which had been wet by the rain, split, and could be dried quickly when the weather was fine, he didn't talk much, he kept helping with the work, and Wen couldn't help nodding his head.

Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, a girl like Mo Xiaohe has to find a diligent person, and it can be seen from the details that Gu Zheng's character cannot be wrong.

When the news came out that the Mo family was going to return to the clan, the Wen family was also worried, Mo Xiaohe's status was rising, but after all, she was a girl in the village, and she was used to being free.

In the end, it turned out that Wen's own love to worry and think a lot, Mo Xiaohe is a paying attention and understands it in his heart!

"Cousin, have you waited two days?"

Mo Xiaohe took a sip of ginger soup, and was so spicy that she burst into tears, and in order to drive away the cold, she drank it all in one gulp. Later, she wanted to go to see Mo Daya first, send something, and find out the situation, and then go to her grandparents with her aunt, the second elder knew the news, and she must be looking forward to it.

"But no, after my brother went back to the village that day, I didn't sleep all night."

After dinner, Wen and Li Xiu packed up their things and came to the town, waited for a day, there was no movement, it rained early this morning, Li Xiu was very disappointed, thinking that Mo Xiaohe could not go down the mountain again, and he had to wait for one more day.

"I have to walk a long way after entering the mountain, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, so my husband carried me down."

Mo Xiaohe couldn't help but show off, her husband is so good, she must let her relatives know, she can't always measure a person by her appearance, thinking that she has been greatly wronged by marrying, in fact, the person who was really wronged was Gu Zheng, and she was a drag oil bottle.

"Cousin, before leaving, I heard that my aunt was showing you people, and there was a family that was very suitable to come, why didn't you move later?"

Li Xiu is seventeen immediately, and the daughters of this age in the village are either very fond of their parents and want to stay for two more years, or they are under great pressure and have someone to help share the housework at home, and the rest are basically married.

"That person can't do it, it's not a proper person."

Li Xiu sighed, the reason why Niang Wen's family took a fancy to that family was simple, the man's father and mother were very responsible, had a good temper, and were diligent, she was definitely not a person who tried to grind her daughter-in-law, she could enjoy happiness when she got married, but she neglected to look at the man's character.

"I went to the town to sell embroidery, and I saw him sneaking into a house with a pink lantern."

When she mentioned this incident, Li Xiu blushed, she was suspicious in her heart, and she inquired in many ways, only to know that the pink lantern was hung in the kiln, and the sister in it was cheaper than the flower building.

It's not a rich family, just go to that kind of place for fun with a little silver, Li Xiu is very disgusted, she doesn't agree to the family affair, and finally under Wen's questioning, she cried and told the truth, so this family affair is about to be finalized, and the reason is high-sounding, and the eight characters do not match.

"Later, my mother asked the matchmaker to say another one, but it still didn't work out."

Li Xiu heard that the other party and the widowed mother depended on each other, she was a little reluctant, the widow was mean, because of a green onion, she had to quarrel with the neighbor's house for three days, even if the man was good, she didn't want to marry into such a family, she would definitely be angry.

In the past, the family was not good, Li Xiu was silent, she only hoped that the other party could give more dowry, so that the eldest brother Li He could marry a daughter-in-law, but now she can earn money by herself, her waist is straight, and there is no shortage of dowry silver at home, so she wants to find a good family for herself.

"Your cousin named Da Ya is not having a good time, my mother and I have been to see it, and we were pushed out by the old woman."

In the end, it is separated by a layer, not a serious relative, and the Wen family is not easy to walk around, I heard that Mo Daya has a small birth injury, and she also sent eggs, brown sugar and other things to the door, and the things were taken over, and people never entered the door.

is also because of what happened to Mo Daya, Li Xiu is most afraid of the tricky old woman, she doesn't have to find a very good-tempered mother-in-law for herself, but the other party must be reasonable, as long as this is the case, there will be no big mistakes.
