Chapter 313: Dowry

"I'm not afraid of the dark, blow it out quickly, otherwise it may cause a fire."

Shen Qixiang was outside the bed, and he blew out the candle with a single step of his long legs.

She slept in bed with the man who had just become her father-in-law, did nothing, and slept until dawn.

Early the next morning, a man dressed as a maid knocked on the door and came in, looking quite smart: "New lady, my name is Dong'er, and I will serve you in the future." ”

Dong'er saw that Jiang Cheng'er's clothes were still neatly worn on her body, and she couldn't help but think that the new lady was also quite pitiful, and she wanted to be with this foolish young master for the rest of her life.

She served the two to freshen up and change their clothes, and the two newcomers followed Dong'er to the hall to give tea to the two old men, Shen Qixiang was dragged by Jiang Cheng'er, and it was okay for him to visit the church, but he couldn't do such a complicated action as tea ceremony.

Mrs. Shen spoke: "You don't have to be restrained when you come to my house, it's just like an ordinary person." ”

Jiang Cheng'er smiled: "I understand, I wish the old lady a long and healthy life with this cup of tea." Mrs. Shen nodded with satisfaction.

Lunch is eaten together as a family, and the food is not rich, only a few things: golden chicken, tofu soup, stir-fried coconut white, taro cake, but it is still much better than my own home. Jiang Cheng'er observed the family: the old lady, the young master, the sister-in-law Shen Huixin, and a rather beautiful woman, dressed in an apricot moire skirt, sitting next to the lady.

Mrs. Shen watched her daughter-in-law eat: "Dafeng, aren't you a peasant girl?" The posture of eating is like a young lady of a family! ”

Jiang Cheng'er thought to herself, this lady is really sharp-eyed. After thinking about it, he replied, "My grandfather read some books, so he was affected a little. She had to talk nonsense about her grandfather, who had died.

Mrs. Shen was quite satisfied: "At first, I was worried that Xiang'er had married a peasant woman who didn't know how to be polite, but now it seems that the two are compatible." ”

The beautiful woman raised the teacup: "Jin Ruo replaces wine with tea, toasts my brother and sister-in-law, and wishes my brother and sister-in-law respect each other like guests and grow old." ”

Jiang Cheng'er also raised the teacup: "Thank you, sister." ”

After returning to the room, Jiang Cheng'er asked Dong'er: "Who is the woman next to Madame?" ”

"That's Madame's adopted daughter, Miss Jinruo. In fact, what she said should have been said by Miss Huixin, but Miss Huixin was only seven years old and couldn't speak. ”

Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded: "Yo, young master, why did you let the fighting run into the house?" Accompanied by the clucking of chickens and the flapping of wings.

Jiang Cheng'er hurriedly followed out to see what was going on.

That female voice was a trusted mother-in-law by Mrs. Shen's side, Mother Wu, Jin Ruo was also standing there, and Shen Qixiang was happily chasing a big rooster, with bright red cockscombs and black feathers, making the house a mess.

Mother Wu saw her coming, and her tone was quite reproachful: "New lady, why don't you look at the young master?" Why don't you stay together when you just got married? ”

Jiang Cheng'er thought to herself, what if she could take a fool? Jin Ruo said: "Brother Shen is actually very obedient, as long as my sister plays with him more, he won't run around." ”

Jiang Cheng'er glanced at her, and Jin Ruo just smiled at her in a friendly manner.

Then the rooster jumped on the table, the fur on his neck bursting open, and he stared at them with wide eyes. Jiang Cheng'er stepped forward and grabbed the rooster's wings at once and lifted it up. After staying in the Han family for so long, although she didn't have enough strength to chop wood, she would still feed the chickens and catch the chickens and drive the chickens into the cage.

Shen Qixiang looked at her dissatisfied: "Big, give me back ......"

"Young master, if you want to go back to the big, come with me." She used the rooster to lead Shen Qixiang all the way into the room, then locked the door and closed the rooster back in the cage.

When she returned to the room, Shen Qixiang was really rolling on the bed, thinking: "Big ......"

She saw a wooden cart on the bookshelf, so she gave it to Shen Qixiang: "There is a cart here to play." ”

Shen Qixiang was really attracted by the car, no longer clamoring for a big, and concentrated on fiddling with the wooden car.

"Qixiang, do you want to play on the street?" Jiang Cheng'er proposed. In fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to go out and meet Third Sister Qian.

When Shen Qixiang heard that he could go to the street, he was excited: "Okay, I want to buy candy men, spinning tops and windmills!" ”

Dong'er said that she could take Shen Qixiang to the street, but someone had to take care of her.

Jiang Cheng'er thought about it, took a note, wrote Shen Qixiang's name and address, and stuffed it into the purse around his waist. That way, if he gets lost, he can be sent back.

As soon as she went out, Jiang Cheng'er saw an old woman carrying a bundle of sugar gourds and selling them under the scorching sun, so she bought a bunch and handed it to Shen Qixiang.

"Great, Sugar Gourd." Shen Qixiang gnawed happily.

The two walked to Sister Qian's shop.

Third Sister Qian raised her head and looked surprised: "Yo, the bride is finally free?" ”

Jiang Cheng'er has spent many days preparing for family affairs, and it is true that she has not come to the sauce for a long time. Third Sister Qian looked thoughtfully at Shen Qixiang behind her: "You are so handsome, I really envy you." ”

"Then you can find another one." Jiang Cheng'er said quickly, forgetting about the previous affairs of Third Sister Qian for a while, and became annoyed again: "Oh, I didn't mean that......"

"It's okay, I'll meet fate after all." Third Sister Qian smiled, "Come, I have rock sugar lotus seed soup here, do you want to eat it brother-in-law?" ”

Shen Qixiang didn't understand what his brother-in-law meant, and didn't react, Jiang Cheng'er relayed: "The third sister asked if you want to eat lotus seed soup?" ”

Shen Qixiang heard that there was something to eat, so he nodded hurriedly. Third Sister Qian saw that he was eating sweetly, so she pulled Jiang Cheng'er into the back room: "Sister, why did you get married like this?" I started to think that you were married to my sweetheart, but later I learned that it was the young master of the Shen family, and I heard that he was a ......"

"Sister, don't worry, I'm not forced." Jiang Cheng'er smiled, "You also said that he is handsome, and the Shen family is richer than mine, so I really don't think there are any shortcomings." ”

"Ugh." Third Sister Qian looked at her, "A beautiful girl like you, I always feel that I deserve a better husband." ”

"Hey, don't talk about me, I heard you bought a ready-to-wear store? Congratulations, Boss Qian. ”

Third Sister Qian covered her lips and smiled: "Why did the news spread so quickly?" I haven't figured out how to run it yet! ”

The two talked again, and after they came out, Young Master Shen, who was still eating just now, disappeared!

"Ah Cai, where did Young Master Shen go here just now?" Third Sister Qian loudly scolded the shop's guy Ah Cai.

"He was still eating just now, and as soon as I turned around, he was gone, I was busy greeting guests, there are big living people with hands and feet, how can I take care of them?"

Jiang Cheng'er said anxiously: "Third sister, don't blame him, I'll go to the street to find it." ”

Jiang Cheng'er looked around blankly on the street, where was Shen Qixiang's figure? She walked along the west side first, looking for the stalls selling candy people's snacks, and asked all the way: "Have you ever seen a seventeen-year-old man?" That's about that. No? Thank you. ”

When I arrived at a stall selling baked cakes, the stall owner finally said, "It seems to have entered that inn." He gestured to the other side.

Tongyue Inn.

Jiang Cheng'er ran into the inn, the inn was full of people, and it was not easy to find someone. But Shen Qixiang's appearance and clothing are more outstanding, and the shopkeeper is a little impressed: "The boy asked us if we had any bird food for sale, and I said no, and then it seemed to go to the casino over there." Girl, do you know him? Why do you feel like you're having something wrong with your brain......"

Casino? Jiang Cheng'er's heart jumped, they had been out for a long time, and now that it was approaching dusk, she was a girl, how could she enter a place like a casino? Can you only go home first and report to your lord?

She hurried back to the Shen family, pondering how she could talk about the loss of the young master.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Master Shen and Mrs. Shen sitting solemnly in the main room. The one next to him is Shen Qixiang! He turned out to be back.

Shen Lin raised his eyes and looked at her: "Coming back?" Girl, you're not kind about this. ”

Mrs. Shen's tone was also quite complaining: "You finally came back, it's no problem for you and Xiang'er to go out, but how can you let him come back alone?" You know ......"

Jiang Cheng'er said woodenly: "Please punish the old lady." "In ancient times, her husband was heaven, she had just married, she was helpless, and this happened when she first came, and there was no other way if she didn't take the initiative to admit her mistake, and it was indeed her fault.

"Dad, mother, my sister did nothing wrong, she was very good to me, and she bought me sugar gourds to eat." Unexpectedly, Shen Qixiang opened his mouth to help her speak.

"Alas, you fool, you can buy some sugar gourds?" Old Man Shen shook his head.

"I originally followed my sister to buy food to feed the thrushes, so I got lost." Shen Qixiang said clearly.

Jiang Cheng'er was a little surprised, this answer is not like a fool can say, the recent relationship makes her feel that Shen Qixiang is not so much a fool as he is a six-year-old child's IQ, and calling her sister also confirms this.

Shen Lin and his wife glanced at each other, and Shen Lin coughed: "Okay, since Xiang'er said so, you can't blame your daughter-in-law for this matter, Dafeng, you have to be careful next time." ”

Jiang Cheng'er nodded, she didn't expect this to pass.

The two returned to the room, Shen Qixiang mysteriously stuffed something into her hand, Jiang Cheng'er took it and looked at it, it turned out to be half a baked cake.

"Didn't you say that you would be given half of what you eat? My mother didn't allow me to eat the pancakes, saying that it would be hot, so I secretly bought them and stuffed them into my sleeves. ”

Jiang Cheng'er smiled: "Thank you." ”

What she said that night: "Your father and mother lost a game with me, so you want to give me your things, and in the future, half of your house, food, and money will be divided into me." ”

I didn't expect what he said casually to be taken seriously by him.

The two of them quietly ate the baked cakes, and Shen Qixiang asked innocently: "Sister, why can't Ah Hong lay eggs?" ”

"Who is Ah Hong?"

"It's the rooster."

"Because it's a rooster, a rooster doesn't lay eggs." Jiang Cheng'er is even more sure that Shen Qixiang's IQ is stuck at six years old.

According to the rules, on the third day of marriage, the newlyweds will return to their parents' home. The uncle's family gloated at first when they knew that Dafeng had married a fool, but later they saw the dowry piled up in the yard, and their eyes straightened.
