On the first day of July, before the hour came, there were thundershowers.

The ground under the eaves was smashed into small pits by strings of falling raindrops, and it was filled with rainwater. The yard was muddy, but the road from the gate to the house was paved with large stones, and the stones were irregular in shape and size, so you could tell at first glance that they were randomly found stones to pad in the yard just to be able to walk.

Squeak. The door was pushed open.

Ah Bei was wearing a robe, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, bowed his head and stomped the mud on his feet on the stone road at the door, and kicked the mud he stomped down under the stones, and then walked in while talking: "I have paved the road from the entrance of the village to the door of our house, even if it doesn't rain tomorrow, as long as the rain is not heavy, the road can still be walked." ”

Abba Song looked out the window with a sad face.

It rained for three days in a row.

It's not going to be a minute, it's not going to stop. With such a heavy rain, how will Assi marry tomorrow? It stands to reason that tomorrow morning the man will come to pick up the kiss, the woman will have someone to press the door, and the Quanfu people will come to open the face of Axi to press the sedan chair, and also invite a few experienced old sisters-in-law in the village to help make a flowing water seat to greet visitors, but if the rain does not stop, the family is so small that nothing can be done.

Axi gets married once in a lifetime, does God think that this kiss can't be married?

It's too late if you can't tie the knot. Only begging God not to rain anymore.

Don't rain anymore.

Assi sat cross-legged on the kang in his room, holding a pen and an abacus to calculate the expenses one by one.

"Three less...... Girl, you've been all there for a while, rest your eyes. Yulu sat on the edge of the kang and put down the handkerchief embroidered in her hand to persuade.

"It's okay, I'll be done right away." Assi did not lift his head.

It's all a small amount of money, a small sum of money, in addition to the dowry that Aunt Chen accompanied her before, I didn't expect to greet the uncles who have a good relationship in the village, and it is another banquet expense. Yesterday, I went to the town with Abei, and the meat, vegetables, and drinks that should be purchased were purchased, and I invited a few aunts to help on the stove, so I had to give some expression, which was another small expense.

Ah Xi looked at the numbers on the paper getting bigger and bigger, and then looked at the cage in the corner of the kang, there were silver bracelets with makeup in them, and couldn't help but regret in his heart, he knew that he would not buy silver bracelets, so that he could leave more money for Abba and Arda to live.

Yulu looked at Axi sitting there, holding a pen in her right hand and making an abacus in her left hand, frowning slightly.

This is the third young grandmother, I still can't believe that the third young grandmother who was raised in such a poor family can actually read and settle accounts.

Yulu came to Assi's house three days ago on the order of Master Xu, and she came with her own deed of sale. Master Xu said that he will be the maid of the third young grandmother from now on, but he also has to accompany the third young grandmother to marry from the Song family to the Xu family, of course, there is another very important reason, that is, to come to the third young grandmother's mother's house in advance, gain trust, and see if you can find that pattern.

On the way to Lishui Village, she had been nervous, but Mr. Mu, who escorted her, said that the third young grandmother was literate and hyphenated, and she was not an ordinary village girl, so she should not worry.

Until she really met the third young grandmother.

accepted his deed of sale, didn't use himself as a maid, didn't let herself call her three young grandmothers before worshipping the church, and could write and settle accounts.

It's much stronger than the second young grandmother. It's also much gentler than the second young grandmother.

When Assi finally finished settling the score, she leaned back her neck and sighed.

Eight hundred and thirteen taels of silver were spent more than expected, which means that the three taels of silver originally planned to be left for Abba and Brother were only two taels of silver and one hundred and eighty-seven dollars.

Last time, I went to Huize Hall to ask the miracle doctor to see Abba, but Dr. Lin said that Mr. Ma left after that day, and he didn't know where he went.

Mr. Ma was passing by Hui Zetang, and Dr. Lin saw that he was indeed skilled in medicine, so he specially packed up the house and let him live, hoping to hire Mr. Ma to be the attending doctor of his pharmacy, and also negotiated a very preferential salary, but Mr. Ma was unwilling. After several pleas, he stayed and stayed, that is, he said that he was not a doctor and could not be cured of incurable diseases. In this way, Hui Zetang's business is getting better day by day, and most of it is also because Mr. Ma Lao has cured several dying patients and spread the reputation of a miracle doctor.

Now that Mr. Ma is gone, Hui Zetang's business has gradually cooled down, and Dr. Lin is also worried.

Axi was disappointed, but still told Dr. Lin about Abba's illness, and Dr. Lin came to see Aba with her once, but what he said was: "I can only grab some medicine to relieve the current symptoms, there is no way to cure it, and I am waiting for delicious food and drink, maybe it will be gone one day." ”

Now that there is so much money left, Abba's illness and Brother's schooling are not enough at all.

"Sister!" Bei shouted as he stood outside the door.

A girl suddenly came to the house, and Ah Bei no longer went in and out of Sister A's house as casually as before.

"Sister, Sister, look, it's sunny!" Abei shouted excitedly.

Sunny day?

Assi turned his head to look out the window.

It rained for three days in a row, and finally stopped.

On the first day of the seventh month, at the moment of Shen, the sky was sunny after the rain. The sun is shining. A faint rainbow appeared in the east.

After a while, the earth was steaming with excess water.

By the end of the unitary period, the muddy road had slowly dried out, and only a shallow footprint could be seen when stepping on it, and there was no more mud to bring up.

The road to greet relatives is paved with stones, and the unpaved places do not affect walking.

Abba Song breathed a sigh of relief, the sky is clear, and Assi will be able to get married tomorrow.

The old house of the Xu family.

The gate of the old mansion and the courtyard of the third young master have been hung with red lanterns, and the Quanfu people invited by Master Xu have made the beds, and all the furnishings in the house have been changed, and even the bed veils on the new beds have been changed to red.

Although the third young master is stupid, what should be there is is also not left behind.

Master Xu stood at the gate of the third young master's courtyard and watched the changes inside, with a slight smile in his gloomy eyes.

"Oh, I'll just say it! The truth of these three young masters and Miss Song's eight characters coincides, and Miss Song's eight characters are also prosperous, Master Xu, you see, it rained for three days before the wedding, and the rain stopped in the afternoon the day before the wedding. This bride has to bring a lot of wealth, bring wealth to her husband's house, after the rain and the sky is fine, the days after the marriage will definitely be prosperous! "Quanfu people are Xu Xiaoquan asked Xu Xiaoquan to find in the town, surnamed Wan, not only have both children and daughters, but also have a harmonious family.

Master Xu said with a smile: "Borrow the auspicious words of Mother Wan, fortunately, the weather is fine, and Ming'er has to bother Mother Wan to go to Lishui Village and pick up the bride." ”

Mother Wan's smiling eyes narrowed together: "Don't you dare to be a bother, this is all the rules, the bride has to open my face!" ”

This trip to Quanfu people also earned two taels of silver! In the past, no one gave money to Quanfu, and the Xu family was rich. Mother Wan took the money, and she was a hundred attentive to everything.

A village girl, with such a great creation, is really smoking on the ancestral grave.

"Xiaoquan, Mr. Ming'er Mu went to pick up the relatives on behalf of the third young master, you are here to greet the good people, I don't invite too many people, but there can't be any mistakes." Master Xu instructed as he walked to the study.

"It's all ready, don't worry, sir."

"Let people be optimistic about the third young master, if you can worship the church, you can worship the church, but if you can't worship the church, let you find the rooster you are looking for?"

"I've found it, and I'm already in the kitchen backyard." Xu Xiaoquan remembered the rooster. The family raised chickens really well, the rooster was majestic, the fur was shiny, and the crown was blood-red.

It's best to let the rooster replace it directly, and let the third young master go to the church by himself, maybe something will go wrong halfway. The major events of the Xu family cannot be joked.

On the second day of the seventh month, Assi got married.
