Wu Xiuqing meticulously asked to write down the pen and ink, explained some trivial matters, and left with his feet up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Wu Xiuqing left, Shen Yueran stood outside the threshold and looked at the dowry piled up in the courtyard steadily.

Cakes, seafood, livestock, fish, candy, tea, sesame, rice noodles, incense cannon gold bracelets, all wrapped and bandaged in bright red boxes or paper, piled together lively, incompatible with the cold winter.

The dowry is an even number, and the amount is determined by the financial resources and intentions of the man's family. The Zhou family prepares "two" in other aspects, but there is only one thing, which is "eight".

Shen Yueran looked at the gift box with the highest stack and hooked the corners of her lips.

Dried longan, dried lychee, dried walnut and shelled peanuts.

That is, the people usually call the Sijing fruit, which means that the descendants are prosperous, complete and blessed, and the Zhou family has prepared a full eight portions.

This proves that Zhou An at least said the truth.

He took a concubine, which was the meaning of Mrs. Zhou.

Because these dowry gifts clearly reveal a message, the old man hopes that the Zhou family will have more children and grandchildren.

Shen Yueran snorted coldly.

The job of giving birth to a child for that bastard is still left to the infatuated Mei Caiyu.

She divided the dowry into two, packed it and sorted it out, and waited for the Zhou family to come to pick it up, which was considered a return gift.

Waiting for the day of marriage, she closed her door, and Xiu'er did many things for her.

Being uneasy and unintentional going out is one thing, and not wanting to face the various eyes of others is the other.

Because of Lu Su's tragic death, because of the plum cake shop that was suddenly closed, no one paid attention to her, and her every move attracted the sideways attention of her neighbors.

The closer to the wedding, the more frequently the Zhou family goes in and out of the courtyard, and she can't hide her relationship with Zhou Anze.

She understands that there are people who genuinely care about her.

For example, Aunt Zhang next door came to persuade her several times to let her think about it again, and also said that she knew the little brother in the neighboring village, although the little brother's family background was not thick, but he was a kind person, and promised that if he got a wife, he would not marry again.

Some people really look at her jokes, such as the old man opposite.

Every time she went out to dump dirt or run errands, she would meet an old man pretending to go out too. The old man smiled and said "Congratulations" in a loud voice, and then muttered in a low voice, "A concubine, what is there to be happy about".

Every time she smelled it, she smiled.

Wenchi has been in the past five years, and she has never heard anything ugly, let alone these in front of her.

Entering November, the days passed even faster, the first, second, and third days of the new year...... Soon, it was the fifth day of the new year.

"Tomorrow, it's the sixth day of junior high school—"

Liu Huilin held the stove, looked at the red plums in the courtyard in a daze, and muttered.

Xi Chun, who was cooking charcoal fire on the side, raised his head when he heard it.

"Yes, madam, tomorrow will be the sixth day of junior high school."

She paused, and then continued, "It's the day Miss Shen got married. ”

has been by Liu Huilin's side for a long time, and she doesn't have to think much about what Liu Huilin wants to say.

Liu Huilin sighed and pointed out the window.

"Xichun, look, is the red plum in the yard good-looking, or is the red plum hairpin on Miss Shen's bun that night good-looking?"

Liu Huilin was conflicted.

At the beginning, she hated Shen Yueran, wishing she was far away from Yi'er, but now, she really wants to marry someone else, and she is full of reluctance in her heart.

She couldn't forget the calm when Shen Yueran came to the Wei Mansion that day and told her that she was going to marry into the Zhou family as a concubine.

It was a peace without sorrow or joy, as if this so-called life's work had nothing to do with her.

However, the calmer Shen Yueran was, the more she couldn't be calm.

Xichun raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's all good-looking, what does Madam think?" ”

Liu Huilin lowered her eyes, "If you want me to say, the red plum hairpin on her bun that night is beautiful." The person is beautiful, the hairpin is beautiful, and Yi'er looks at each other and smiles in the moonlight, in fact, it's really a good match-"

She lowered her forehead and sniffled.

"Xichun, did she- really collect everything?"

She prepared a dowry for Shen Yueran, which naturally had her heart.

The unbearability in my heart is one of them, I don't want Shen Yueran to enter the Zhou family and be wronged; The second is that after she did what she said, the dry cough was really much better.

She gave a dowry, whether it was compensation or mercy, in short, it was her kindness.

But what she didn't expect was that Xichun replied that Shen Yueran didn't say a word of resignation, so she accepted it all.

Xichun smiled, "Really, is it possible that Xichun is still hiding?" ”

Liu Huilin glanced at her and said with a black face, "Xichun! ”

Xichun shrunk his neck, stuck out his tongue and smiled, "Madame, don't be annoyed with Xichun, Xichun just can't see Madame's sad face, so he thinks of amusing Madame, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating." ”

Xichun walked up to Liu Huilin, helped her lie down on the white fur deck chair, and skillfully pinched her hands and feet.

"Madam, listen to Xichun's advice, don't worry too much, you worry about the young master every day is not enough, now do you have to pay more attention to that Shen girl? Xichun understands Madame's thoughts, Madame is too soft-hearted and kind-hearted, she wants to protect the young master, but she can't bear to see others aggrieved. In fact, did Madame ever think that since Miss Shen was happy to accept the dowry sent by Madame, maybe it was exactly what she wanted, maybe she was thinking about those golden jewels. So, ma'am, relax your heart. In this world, no one is stupid, they are all shrewd, and no one will let themselves be wronged and not say anything. ”

Liu Huilin held back a smile and sank her face.

"Xichun's words, but the old body is a fool?"

Xichun has been with Liu Huilin for many years, and knows which of Liu Huilin's words is true and which is a joke.

She smiled as usual, "Xichun didn't say this, Mrs. is the best and best lady Xichun has ever seen, if it is really 'stupid', Xichun thinks that he is the stupid person who has stupid blessings, otherwise how could he be arranged by Guanyin Bodhisattva to follow Madame?" ”

Liu Huilin sneered, "You girl, this mouth is ......"

The master and servant were talking and laughing, and the butler of the Wei Mansion came running quickly and knocked on the door.

"Madame, here, here......"

The butler couldn't wait for the door to open, so he shouted loudly.

Liu Huilin was shocked and sat up from the recliner.

Xichun hurriedly went to open the door.

"Who's coming?"

Liu Huilin covered her heart and asked in a trembling voice.

The housekeeper was ecstatic.

"Mrs. Hui, it's the young master, it's the young master who is back!"

"Madame, go, the young master is talking to the master in the front hall."

******

It's back, it's back.

Great, great.

Liu Huilin was so excited that she didn't know which leg to take first.

She had waited too long for this moment, too hard. (To be continued.) )
