Chapter 108: Decision

Lu Yu also knew that he was in a bit of a hurry to propose, but he didn't have much time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that I heard Xiaocui's words, I also felt that it made sense, so I said, "Okay, I'll come back in two days." ”

After Lu Yu and Mo Ying left, Xiao Cui said to Shen He: "Miss, I want to ask you, do you like Lord Lu or not?" ”

Shen He hesitated after hearing this, she didn't know how to answer.

In the past, facing Huang Ji'an, she could know that his heart was completely her own, so she could feel down-to-earth and stable, and she could be sure that she liked him.

But for Lu Yu, she was a little unsure.

She seems to have a very subtle feeling for Lu Yu.

This person always makes her unable to see through, sometimes it seems to be very close to her, and sometimes it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers; Sometimes he makes her feel warm and touched, and sometimes he is so angry that he wants to cry.

Sometimes, she can't help but think of him, and even the color of his clothes is sensitive.

Sometimes when she sees someone wearing this color, she thinks of him. Moreover, since Yong'an City to the capital, he has never seemed to have left his life.

She didn't know if it was love, but the man didn't seem to be that hateful.

Looking at Shen He's thoughtful look, Xiao Cui said: "Miss, although I haven't liked anyone, I think as long as I like it, I should say it, and then try my best to be together, that is, what will happen in the future, at least I have no regrets in my heart." ”

Shen He listened to Xiao Cui's words and felt that there was some truth.

Xiaocui has never read a book, perhaps because of this, some of her opinions are often shocking and different from ordinary people. It can also often make Shen Hemao stop.

Just like now, Shen He suddenly understood after listening to her words.

Since you are born again, you should live according to your heart and strive for your own happiness, so why should you care about the troubles of the world?

Seeing that Shen He was silent, Xiao Cui knew that she should be quiet and think about it carefully, so she left her alone at home, and she went out to find Song Wu's sister-in-law.

Fifth sister-in-law Song has rarely come here since she helped out in the restaurant.

Now, her cooking skills are on par with Xiaocui, and she plans to save some money to open her own restaurant next year.

Fifth sister-in-law Song just came back today, and she saw Xiaocui waiting for her at the door, and hurriedly beckoned Xiaocui in.

After walking in, he asked, "Xiaocui, why did you have time to come over today, aren't you taking care of the lotus at home?" ”

Xiao Cui smiled: "Oh, it's for Miss's business!" ”

After speaking, he told Shen He's fifth sister-in-law Song about getting married, and asked her again: "Fifth sister-in-law, you have been in the capital for so many years, and you often help people as matchmakers, you must know the customs of marriage in the capital very well, I want to help Miss prepare in advance, so as not to let people say that the etiquette is not good!" ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song was also very happy for Shen He after hearing this, and said with a smile: "This, you can ask the right person, there is no one in this capital who knows better than me." ”

After speaking, he started by drafting the post, and told Xiaocui in detail.

This is half a day's work, Xiao Cui listened to it with great interest at first, but the more she listened to it, the more confused she became, and then she began to feel dizzy and couldn't listen anymore.

It's really that the marriage procedure is too long and complicated, she can't remember so much at all, and she has no one to teach her since she was a child, so she is even more unfamiliar with these customs.

It turned out that according to the customs of the commoners in the capital, if two families wanted to get married, they should first write a cursive post, and the parents of both men and women agreed, and then write a detailed post, which would indicate the names of the three generations of the family, the identities, land and official positions of the men and women who married.

Then, the man's family should prepare a load of wine, cover the wine bottle with a flower wrap, and then decorate it with eight large flowers and colorful silk, or eight silver-white flowers, and also wrap the red around the burden, which is called "paying the burden red".

The man's family will send the "payment red" to the woman's home, and the woman's family will put two bottles of fresh water, three or five live fish, and a pair of chopsticks into the original wine bottle sent by the man's family, which is called "returning to the fish chopstick".

After these procedures are completed, it is time to discuss when to make a small decision, when to make a big decision, and whether to see the woman in person.

If you want to see each other, let a relative of the man's family or the future mother-in-law go to the woman's house to see, and if you like it, you will use a hairpin to insert it into the woman's hat, which is called "inserting a hairpin"; If you don't like it, you will leave one or two pieces of colored satin to suppress the woman's shock, which means that the family affair is not done.

Hearing this, Xiaocui had already started to have a headache, and she really couldn't remember this, so she asked Song Wu's sister-in-law to write down the things that needed to be prepared on a handkerchief and bring them back to Miss to show again.

When Xiaocui returned home, she found that Ah Niu had returned, and Shen He was reading the letter in the house.

The letter was brought back by Ah Niu from the post house. Recently, Xiaocui took care of Shen He at home, and Ah Niu went to get the letter.

This letter was sent to Shen He by the bolt pillar who had not heard from him for a long time.

It turned out that some time ago, Zhu Zhu and Aunt Yu's "Bao Xiangju" encountered robbers. The robbers took advantage of the night when no one was around, stole all the money in the "Bao Xiangju", and smashed all the goods in the store.

Zhu Zhu and Aunt Yu reported to the official and cleaned up the store again, so they haven't been able to write to Shen He recently.

In the letter, Zhu Zhu said that now the store has reopened, although the robbers have not been caught, but the new county lord has helped, and now the business of the store is even better than before, so Shen He should not worry.

Zhuzhu also mentioned one thing in the letter, saying that a few outsiders came to the village to inquire about Shen He, and later was met by the third uncle, and when he saw that those people were not good, he stopped them.

But those people didn't seem to be dead, and they seemed to have found out something before leaving, and the third uncle was not at ease, so he asked someone to tell the bolt pillar and asked him to remind Shen He to be careful in the capital.

After Shen He saw it, he understood that these people must have been sent by An Ruoshui.

She finally knew why An Ruoshui was so clear about her past at that time, but now it doesn't make sense to know this.

An Ruoshui has entered the palace and become a concubine, and although she was humiliated and designed by her, she also saw Lu Yu's heart for herself, and she has decided to marry Lu Yu.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

However, now, looking at the trivial things written on the handkerchief brought by Xiaocui, she was a little stunned in her heart.

First of all, her parents are no longer alive, how should she explain to the Lu family at that time?

Then when she saw that she wanted the man's family to look at each other, she felt a little unconfident.

Seeing her appearance, Xiaocui smiled and said, "Miss, are you worried?" I've heard a saying that an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, and it's normal for a young lady to be worried! ”

Shen He heard Xiao Cui make fun of her like this, and angrily tickled Xiao Cui's itch, but Xiao Cui ran away with a smile, shouting as she ran: "Miss, Miss, don't scratch, I don't dare." I'm kidding you, don't chase me! ”

After laughing for a while, Xiaocui comforted Shen He and said, "Miss, you don't have to worry at all." Which of your appearance, talents, and abilities is not better than those women in the capital? Besides, Lord Lu's family doesn't like you, as long as Lord Lu likes it! (To be continued.) )
