However, after Luo Qinghe accepted Brother An'er's intentions, he secretly instructed before leaving: "If you really want to eat meat in the future, eat less pork and more beef, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish and so on." Also, don't be a picky eater! Exercise more at home on weekdays, and when I come back from Kyoto, I'll bring you more new gadgets! ”

Although Brother An is very favored at home on weekdays, no one dares to tell him so carefully, so after Luo Qinghe finished speaking, Brother An only felt warm in his heart, and said honestly: "I remember." ”

Fang Shaoze's going to Beijing has been in the Fang family for a long time, so Zhai Ting in this firewood room also heard it.

Because the people of the Fang family have been busy with Fang Shaoze's affairs recently, Zhai Ting escaped when the firewood room was unattended, and went directly to the old lady's courtyard, pleading with snot and tears: "Grandma, I have been arrested in the Fang Mansion for so long, and I have lost my innocence outside, if you don't arrange a place for me to go, then I will make a mess and ruin my cousin's reputation!" ”

The old lady was very disgusted when she heard this, but she didn't have to marry Fang Shaoze when she heard Zhai Ting's meaning, so she took the opportunity to say: "Since this is the case, then you don't make any more trouble, I will have my own arrangements in two days." ”

Hearing the old lady's promise, Zhai Ting was overjoyed and was about to say thank you, but suddenly saw Zhong Mu wearing a navy blue rhyolite gown and stepping into the old lady's courtyard with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhong Mu's dress, the old lady knew that this matter had been settled, so she first sent Zhong Mu to wait outside for a while, and then said to Zhai Ting: "Shaoze will not come back for a year and a half when he goes, so you will die of marriage with him!" ”

"This son's name is Zhong Mu, he is the son of my nephew, and the Zhong family was also an official in the court many years ago, but now Zhong Mu's family is not as good as the family I asked the matchmaker to find for you last time, and there are many Zhong families, I am afraid that your life will be a little hectic after you get married, and the general situation of the Zhong family is like this now, what do you think?"

But the old lady's words, Zhai Ting just went in the left ear and out the right ear. She was now full of Zhong Mu's hearty and bright appearance, and seeing that the fabric of his long shirt was not cheap, Zhai Ting thought that the old lady was deliberately testing herself.

"I'll marry!" Zhai Ting thought about it and hurriedly agreed.

"But you can't do it yourself, and I still have to discuss it with your parents... Why don't you let someone find him now? ”

When Zhai Ting heard this, she agreed, and hurriedly asked the old lady to borrow a room, so that she could freshen up.

Zhai Ting's current thought in her heart is that this young man is so bright and confident, he doesn't have the inferiority complex of children from poor families at all, and they are still the old lady's maiden family, and most of their family backgrounds will not be bad!

So after the old lady finished discussing with the Zhai family and his wife, she asked Zhai Ting to write a letter of guarantee, remembering every word introduced by the old lady, and also asked her to sign and press her handprint, promising that she would never regret it.

At this time, Zhai Ting still thought that this was the old lady deliberately concealing the Zhong family's family background in order to test whether she really wanted to marry. So after Zhai Ting signed, she also swore an oath: "I fell in love with Zhong Gongzi at first sight, it has nothing to do with his family background, and I will never regret it no matter what happens in the future!" ”

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked Zhai Ting to add this sentence to the guarantee, and said with a smile: "Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I have found someone to calculate, it just so happens that the day your cousin goes out is a good day to travel and get married, so you can take advantage of this day to marry together!" It's also a double happiness. ”

When he saw the big red sedan chair, Luo Qinghe was really taken aback.

She originally wanted to take advantage of this time to say goodbye to the second elder of the Wang family and Yueniang, but she didn't want to be interrupted by the sound of gongs and drums.

Fang Shaoze and his entourage went out with Zhai Ting's wedding sedan chair. Looking at the group of people playing and singing happily, Lang Mo sighed: "This atmosphere is really ingenious, it looks like the young master is going to marry a wife!" ”

Fang Shaoze glared at Mo fiercely when he heard this, and said in his heart: What I said, there was a woman in Luo Qinghe in the carriage, wouldn't it be misunderstood to say this! Fang Shaoze thought about it, with some mixed tastes in his heart, and said to Lang Mo in a deep voice: "Catch your car." ”

On this side, Zhai Ting sat in a sedan chair and staggered for two days before arriving at Zhong's house.

According to the rules of Luoquan Town, you can't lift the red hijab after leaving her mother's door, so Zhai Ting is surprisingly well-behaved this time, and she was honestly helped off the sedan chair with her head covered.

However, through the palm-sized sight in front of her, Zhai Ting saw that the road under her feet was not even paved with green bricks, and she had some doubts in her heart, and saw that the skirts of the people around her were all coarse linen clothes, and the shoes were also white and black cloth shoes often worn by croppers.

Zhai Ting was very puzzled in her heart, but the voice of the matchmaker announcing that she was going to salute suddenly came from her ears, but she was a little apprehensive when she saw the scene, so she subconsciously wanted to pull her hijab and look at the surrounding scene.

But before Zhai Ting touched her hijab, she felt someone kick her leg, and before Zhai Ting could react, someone grabbed her neck and saluted.

was forced to worship heaven and earth and high hall in this way, and it was not until the husband and wife worshiped each other that Zhai Ting took advantage of the gap between turning around to pull the hijab on her head, looked up, but was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she gasped.

What kind of rich and noble family is this? It's obviously an ordinary country courtyard, and the people around to see the excitement are all coarse linen clothes, and they look like countrymen who work in the fields all day long.

Shocked, Zhai Ting subconsciously glanced at Zhong Mu again, but before she could ask, she heard Mrs. Zhong on the throne smile: "It's funny, I didn't expect my daughter-in-law here to be so refreshing, and I lifted the hijab myself!" ”

"Hey, hey! I'm afraid I want to be the groom's official, right? One of the onlookers laughed.

Listening to these vulgar words, Zhai Ting was a little scared, looked at Zhong Mu and trembled, "Why are we here?" ”

Zhong Mu was not weak, and said clearly: "What why? Naturally, the worship hall will be worshiped at home! ”

When Zhai Ting heard this, she was even more frightened and said, "Zhong Mu, don't scare me!" Let's go! ”

"Yo! I'm afraid this bride is thinking about the Spring Festival tent, right? Seeing Zhai Ting's eagerness, one of Zhong Mu's cousins thought she was in a hurry to the cave room, so he pushed her into Zhong Mu's arms.

The surrounding guests burst into laughter again.

But Zhai Ting felt that her brain was blank, and she was stunned at the time, and she couldn't say a word, but as she finished saluting, she was picked up by Zhong Mu, returned to the house and threw it on the happy bed.

The sky was getting dark, and it wasn't until the watchman passed by the gate of the courtyard that Zhai Ting opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?" Zhong Mu beside him looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"What have you done to me? No way! I can't do it, I want to go home! Zhai Ting reacted and hurriedly struggled.

Zhong Mu was naked, and held up the white handkerchief dyed with plum blossoms in front of Zhai Ting and said, "We are both husband and wife, what do you still want to do when you go home?" Get up and freshen up! My mother is waiting for the two of us. ”

As soon as she saw the handkerchief, Zhai Ting was so frightened that she quickly lifted the red quilt, and sure enough, when she saw that she was naked, she suddenly had red eyes, grabbed the pillow and smashed it at Zhong Mu, crying: "You trick me!" You're all in this together! ”

But before she could finish speaking, Zhai Ting suddenly received two heavy mouths, and then was dragged by her hair and thrown to the ground, which made her slow down for a long time before she gasped.

Finally seeing more clearly, Zhai Ting looked up in a daze, but saw Mrs. Zhong, who was sitting on the main seat when she was worshipping the hall, with a serious face and glaring at her fiercely.

"How can it be so ugly?" Mrs. Zhong said contemptuously: "When I talked about family affairs that day, my old sister said that you are a mercenary, selfish and arrogant vain woman, I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't think that my old sister still saved face for you!" But now that we're at our house, no one is used to your bad habits! ”

"I... What a terrible way I speak! On that day, I knew that your family was a big family..."

"Listen to whom?" When Mrs. Zhong heard this, she sneered and took out the guarantee written by Zhai Ting and said, "You have read every word of this guarantee that day, which one is fake?" From the beginning, no one has ever told you that our Zhong family is a big family, and I heard that you personally said that you fell in love with my son at first sight, and you don't care about your family background, you signed this word, and your handprint was also pressed by you, and now who are you scolding? ”

Looking at this guarantee in a daze, Zhai Ting seemed to suddenly grasp the life-saving straw, and said without regarding: "If this guarantee is correct, then aren't you your aunt's maiden family at all?" Your family must have married your son, and you have climbed into a relative with your aunt and grandmother......"

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Zhong shook Zhai Ting's mouth again and said, "You dare to arrange this for the things of the ancestors?" Looks like you're going to have to teach you a lesson! ”

These mouths fell, Zhai Ting only felt that her ears were buzzing, and her face was even more painful, no matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to refute.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zhong patiently educated: "I know why you regret it, but it's just because I see that my family is not good!" But whose family's property is not saved little by little, if you are willing to work hard, then when the old lady is old, maybe you will also be a person who keeps the family business and enjoys happiness. ”

To the old lady's age? Zhai Ting was disdainful in her heart: they are so old, what can they enjoy no matter how rich they are?

But no matter how much Zhai Ting struggled, what was waiting for her in the end was Mrs. Zhong's merciless whip.

After only two days, Zhai Ting, who was trained, no longer dared to mess around, as long as Mrs. Zhong said that Zhai Ting would not dare to go west, this matter of planting rice and carrying water to water the garden, Zhai Ting has done it all over the past few days, and Mrs. Zhong personally watched and taught her hand in hand.

After a few days of hard work, Zhai Ting gradually became familiar with the things in the field.

Although Zhai Ting's sharpness has been polished, she still secretly regrets it in her heart: if she listened to Uncle Zhai's words at that time and honestly chose among the two family affairs, how could she suffer in this face facing the loess with her back to the sky?

However, since Zhong Mu married her home, seeing that Zhai Ting had not been in a high mood, he thought that it was hard farm work, so Zhong Mu often stayed by the side and helped as much as he could.

But until one day, I heard Zhai Ting complain about the Fang family and the Zhong family, and every word was inseparable from money. There is even a meaning of regretting that he didn't work hard to marry Fang Shaoze.

So Zhong Mu's kindness was also polished, and he said indifferently: "Marrying into the Zhong family but still thinking about others, do you still have me in your eyes?" ”

So since then, Zhai Ting, that is, Zhong Zhai's family, can only carry all the work silently by herself, and she doesn't even have time to cry.

Just when Zhai Ting was so busy in the Zhong family that she didn't even have a chance to complain, Luo Qinghe was following Fang Shaoze all the way to the riverside in the north of Fengyuan County.

The tributaries between the Yandang Mountains form a river that is several times wider than an ordinary river, and if you travel by land, it will take at least a whole day, and if you take a boat, you must wait in line for half a day.

"Isn't there a drawbridge over this river?" Luo Qinghe saw the people queuing up in front of the pier, and he had some doubts in his heart, so he got out of the carriage and asked a monk.

After hearing this, the monk shook his head and said abruptly: "Some time ago, the rain fell fiercely, and the river was turbulent and the suspension bridge was broken!" No, the broken suspension bridge is still sinking under the water and can't be cleaned up. ”
