Chapter 68: Advance and Retreat
"How do you want that?" Aunt Li frowned deeply, her face was full of jealousy of Song Cuihua, "How can that mother-in-law be good to Xiuxiu, you live under her roof and are afraid that you will bully her." ”
Uncle Li scolded with a calm face: "You can't say that!" ”
Aunt Li retorted: "That mother-in-law's heart is blacker than the coal on the West Mountain, how much suffering has our big cow suffered at home, and how many sins have he suffered?" ”
The fourth aunt was full of worries, although she had not seen Song Cuihua yet, but the water spilled by her married daughter, Su Xiujin served Song Cuihua in the future, calling her a mother-in-law, and this crime was not less.
"To marry a wife, you have to know how to be patient. Uncle, auntie, relax. Su Xiujin said, "Besides, there is no reason to split up before getting married, just mention it for the time being, and then be prepared." ”
Aunt Li frowned worriedly.
Song Cuihua has seen Su Xiujin's power, so she naturally doesn't want to enter the door with such a bad spirit, and before she can think of a countermeasure, Uncle Li and Aunt Li came to the door with something, the implication is nothing more than that the marriage has been decided, and now it is also an extraordinary period, or just go through the door first, this room will wait for Su Xiujin and Lu to talk about it later.
It was difficult to ride a tiger, so Song Cuihua had to grit her teeth and nod.
The marriage was scheduled for three days later, Aunt Li's family helped Zhang Luo, Lijia Village was too far away, so they simply went out from this hut, Li Goudan and Jin Da Niu were busy repairing the hut, Su Xiujin saw that the terrain and environment were excellent, if it was settled in Jinjia Village, he would buy this house, so that the fourth aunt would have a place to live here. Buy a few acres of land before and after, lease it out, only collect some rent money every month, and then have her always filial piety, buy one or two slaves and maids to serve, and it will not be too bad to think about life.
Su Xiujin was cleaning up at the back of the house, and suddenly heard Aunt Li scolding: "This shameless old slut# goods, these things are sent to call Huazi, and they are cut into the eyes of money?!" ”
Su Xiujin hurriedly wiped his hands, and when he entered the door, there was a load of red silk dowry in the house, and Su Xiujin only glanced at it and knew how many things were inside. There are only six boxes of dim sum, two bunches of cakes, two buckets of rice, and two packs of other four-color fruits.
Su Xiujin frowned slightly, this dowry is too simple, in the previous life, Xiao Jinglin spent almost half of his private treasury on the bride price alone, not to mention other delicacies from the mountains and seas, and auspicious fruits, all of which were transported to Xiangguo's mansion one by one in a carriage, although the wedding dress she was wearing was not red, nor was it a phoenix robe, and the specifications were only according to the position of the imperial concubine, but in the dowry, it far exceeded the queen's weight.
"Pick it out the door and back when I cross the door." Su Xiujin said coldly, the tiger is not powerful, she is a sick cat.
Li Goudan happily lifted the burden and "thrown" it outside the door.
Jin Daniu's face was full of guilt, and he looked at Su Xiujin speechless.
Su Xiujin walked to the house and took a big bag of candy, saying that this candy was prepared by Aunt Li.
"Brother Jin, I heard that before marriage, the newlyweds have to go to every household in the village to distribute candy, so it's better to go now." Su Xiujin said.
Aunt Li's family all looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Su Xiujin's gourd.
Jin Daniu was stunned for a moment, and did not hesitate, and took out a package of four-color sugar from the house, which is a mixture of rock sugar, orange cake, winter melon candy, and persimmon cake, symbolizing sweetness and sweetness, white-headed and old.
Su Xiujin and Jin Da Niu went out, and Jin Da Niu didn't ask Su Xiujin what he was doing, Rao is Su Xiujin couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jin, who are the families who have a relationship with the deceased aunt and uncle on weekdays?" ”
Jin Da Niu pondered for a while and said: "There are not many friends with my mother in Jinjia Village, the Niu aunt in the town is a family, the Jin master and the lady in the east of the village are a family, and there is the Su Niangzi in the west entrance." When my father was still around, several uncles and uncles used to come and go, but after my father passed away, he rarely came to the house. ”
Su Xiujin took a rough note and asked a few more personal preferences, and Jin Daniu answered them in detail one by one.
Master Jin's family is a blacksmith master in the village, and as soon as the blacksmith lady opened the door, she saw that it was Jin Daniu, and her face was full of surprise.
"Auntie." Jin Daniu said, "I and Jin Niang sent you happy candy?" ”
"Candy?" The blacksmith lady was quite heroic, she was still very young at the age of forty, wearing a dark linen shirt, her sleeves were rolled up, she frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand the meaning of this candy.
"Auntie is well." Su Xiujin stepped forward to give a blessing.
The blacksmith lady looked at Su Xiujin in front of her, her down-to-earth and generous appearance was not bad, her eyebrows and eyes were full of calmness, and she could see at a glance that she was not an ordinary woman from a villager's family.
"Who is she? I've heard that a girl in the village said that she had a marriage contract with you, or that your mother had made it before she died, but I don't know when it came about! The blacksmith lady questioned at all, but she didn't leave any room for maneuver for the golden bull.
"Auntie, I won't tell you anything, Jin Niang is my benefactor in Suzhou City, and the great changes in her family have just fallen to Jinjia Village-" Jin Da Niu didn't intend to hide it.
Su Xiujin took over the conversation: "After arriving in Jinjia Village, thanks to Brother Jin taking care of me and my mother, this kindness is really unforgettable." ”
"So you promised to repay the bull?" The blacksmith lady snorted coldly, looked at Su Xiujin with a squint, and said, "A good little girl who will repay her kindness." ”
Su Xiujin frowned, she had no grievances with this blacksmith lady, as if she had offended her, and her words were thorny.
"It's not all kindness, Brother Jin has an excellent character and is honest, and it is also my blessing to be able to marry him."
Jin Da Niu took out a handful of joy candy from his bag and said, "Auntie, we will get married in three days, and we will invite you and Uncle to have a cup of wedding wine at that time." ”
The blacksmith lady glanced at the candy in Jin Da Niu's hand, sneered, and slammed the door shut.
"Let's send this candy to the others, I can't eat it."
Su Xiujin only felt inexplicable for a while, and Jin Da Niu soothed: "Auntie is this temper, don't take it to heart." ”
When Jin Da Niu knocked on the door again, there was no movement inside.
As soon as the two of them were about to leave, they saw a big man in coarse cloth clothes and a beard carrying a hoe and asked, "Big Niu, why are you banging on the door?" ”
"Uncle, Jin Niang and I came to deliver the candy, I don't know why, my aunt just won't accept it." Jin Da Niu Road.
This strong man is the blacksmith master, Su Xiujin stepped forward to salute, and the golden blacksmith squinted and said: "Don't take it to heart, this mother-in-law just loves to play tricks, I will tell her to go later." ”
Jin Da Niu mentioned the matter of drinking the wedding wine again, and the gold blacksmith hesitated for a long time before saying: "Cheng, I will go and be happy when the time comes." ”
The two hurriedly thanked him, and the gold blacksmith looked at Su Xiujin intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "The big cow is a good blessing, a good girl." ”
Jin Da Niu touched his head embarrassedly.
After Su Xiujin Jin Daniu left, the door of the house opened, and the blacksmith lady leaned against the door and said, "If you want to eat the wedding wine, you can eat, but I won't go." ”
