Now that you are engaged, the day of marriage is not far away.

There are three marriage dates given by the Xu family, one is ten days later, one is half a month later, and one is twenty-two days later.

This month is also strange, there are three good days for marriage, and from this month onwards, it is also strange that there will be no marriage leave for nearly half a year.

Because he knew earlier that the Xu family married his second son and wanted the bride to marry as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation, Father Lin was also psychologically prepared for his daughter to marry soon.

But the date of the wedding is within this month, and perhaps even more so in ten days, and the date is too near.

Thinking that after this period of time, his daughter was going to leave home to live in someone else's house, and Father Lin was really distressed.

However, no matter what, the wedding will also be held this month, otherwise it will be postponed to half a year later, and the Xu family will not be able to say it.

Needless to say, Father Lin finally chose the wedding date twenty-two days later.

This was all expected by the Xu family, so the housekeeper of the Xu family did not show anything unusual.

After sending away the Xu family's housekeeper, Father Lin asked Jinxuan, who was playing in the courtyard, to summon Jinyu.

It happened that Jinqing was talking to Jinyu in her sister's room, and the two brothers and sisters came together.

When the two of them arrived at the study, before they could sit down, my aunt also heard the news.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked Father Lin in a panic, "I heard Xuanxuan say that the housekeeper of the Xu family left, so how did you discuss, when is our Jinniang's wedding date?" ”

As the aunt spoke, she took Jinniang's hand and sat down on one side of the stool, and Jinqing sat down on the other side.

Father Lin nodded and said, "I was about to talk to Jin Niang about this." The wedding date was set, just twenty-two days later. ”

"So early!" Jinqing and her aunt stood up at the same time.

Both of them looked a little discolored, but Jinyu, as if she had expected it a long time ago, her complexion did not change at all.

Father Lin said with difficulty, "If you don't get married this month, it will be delayed until half a year later, and the Xu family is in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law and enter the door to preside over the feed, and they will not agree." ”

"That, that, that......" The aunt was silent for a long time, but did not say anything. Her eyes were red, and she took Jin Niang's hand and said, "My poor son, I just got married, and I'm about to leave home." ”

This aunt is really cowardly and loves to cry. In the Lin family, it is said that the aunt is in charge of the house, but in fact, it is Jinniang who manages the big and small things, and the aunt is just taking care of Lin's father's daily life.

Now that Jinniang is getting married, no one is taking care of the affairs in this house, and my aunt is like being pulled out of her main backbone, and she panicked instantly.

But the date is set, and there is no possibility of changing it.

What she can do now is to sort out Jinniang's dowry and let her spend this time at home peacefully.

The Lin family was visibly busy.

For this reason, Lin's father also suspended the schoolwork of the middle school students in the private school, just to search around for some more dowries for his daughter.

The Lin family's family background is slightly better than that of the Pingtou people in the town, but it is only slightly better, and there is no shortage of food and drink, but this family is far worse than the Xu family.

It is impossible to prepare a dowry according to the dowry sent by the Xu family, but Father Lin still did his best and took out most of the family business to buy things for his daughter.

The daughter of the Lin family is about to get married, and Jinniang's uncle, who is far away in another town, naturally heard the news.

Jin Niang's grandparents passed away a few years ago, and now she has an uncle.

Uncle and aunt used to be in contact with the Lin family, after all, the uncle was in the business of selling mountain goods, and often received goods in several towns. So on the whole, there was a lot of correspondence between the two families earlier.

But since my aunt saw Jinniang's intentions, she hasn't come to the Lin family for half a year. Not only did she not come, but she also restrained Jinniang's cousin Shen Cheng from coming. In addition, Uncle Shen's business has expanded a lot, and he has also begun to collect fur goods in other counties, and he has not been able to come for a busy year and a half, and the two have less contact in the past two years.

However, Uncle Shen really loves Jinniang, and as soon as he heard that his niece was engaged and the wedding date was imminent, he hurriedly came after leaving the business in his hand.

Also along were Aunt Shen, cousin Shen Cheng, and Aunt Shen's two daughters: the eleven-year-old eldest daughter Shen Mingzhu, and the three-year-old youngest daughter Shen Baozhu.

It's the whole family coming.

When Jinqing saw her cousin, she suddenly felt like a great enemy.

Especially when he saw his cousin looking at his sister with good eyes, he was even more anxious, regardless of the presence of his elders and whether his behavior was decent or not, he ran over and pulled his cousin to talk.

Jin Niang naturally saw Shen Cheng too, but what does it matter?

She is not the original owner, she will not be obsessed with Shen Cheng, and she will not be able to move when she sees Shen Cheng.

Besides, she has already drilled out of the horns and has completely "died" to him.

And my cousin looked at her with a look of unrepentance, love, and pain, what did she want to do?

Is it accusing her of betraying their feelings?

Or is it accusing her of not being loyal enough to his love?

Let's stay cool and go there.

Earlier, when Jin Niang was happy with him, he was shy and didn't dare to squeak, but now that Jin Niang's family affairs are decided, he regrets that he came over to pretend to be a saint, there are too many scenes, and he doesn't dislike being tired and panicked.

Jin Niang hung her head and followed behind her father, uncle, and aunt and aunt, and responded to her uncle's question with a chuckle.

Uncle Shen couldn't help but sigh when he saw his niece's smiling and reserved appearance, "In a blink of an eye, Jinniang has become a big girl, and she is about to get married. ”

Uncle Shen and Father Lin laughed and entered the flower hall, while the aunt couldn't help but look back at Jinniang with a worried face, and Aunt Shen turned her head and saw her son looking at her niece with a blank eye, and couldn't help glaring at her fiercely.

Uncle Shen's family came over, so they stayed for the time being, and prepared to wait for Jinniang to become a relative, return to the door, and then leave.

Fortunately, they used to come home a lot, and there was a room in the house for their uncle and aunt.

However, a few small ones are about to squeeze with Jinniang's three sisters and brothers.

In a blink of an eye, the day before the marriage, Jinniang's dowry had been carried to the Xu family.

On this day, the elders of the family came to help, and Aunt Shen also took a moment to come over to find Jinniang.

She stuffed two silver tickets of fifty taels into Jin Niang's hand and asked her to keep them.

Jin Niang refused to accept it, and Aunt Shen said, "Good boy, this is for you from your uncle." Your uncle and your mother are dragon and phoenix twins, and they have been close since childhood. After your mother left, your uncle tried to take you home more than once, but your father refused. Your uncle loves you, and I pity you a little more, now that you are married, can we do more as uncles and aunts? Good boy, you can keep these silver tickets yourself, just in case. Don't shirk it, it's all my uncle and aunt's thoughts. ”

After speaking, Aunt Shen got up and left.

When I went back to the room in the evening, Uncle Shen asked if the silver ticket was given to Jinniang, and Aunt Shen said, "When did I not do the things you explained?" Don't worry, I'll give it to Jinniang. ”

Uncle Shen sighed, "My brother-in-law's family is in a tight situation, that is, he took out most of the family business to buy a dowry for Jinniang, and in the end there is a little less." "He is an uncle, and he has saved some family business over the years, so he married his niece to a shop. But she still felt that her niece's dowry was too thin, so in case she didn't have the confidence to speak when she married the Xu family, she asked Aunt Shen to send some silver money to her.

"With those five hundred taels of silver, Jinniang will not be tight-handed, and it will be cheaper to buy some things in the future, even if she wants to give a reward to the people of Xufu, she will not be able to deduct the buckle and make people say that she is a child."

After Uncle Shen finished speaking, he took off his clothes and rested, he was still busy tomorrow morning.

He sighed with emotion, and he didn't see Aunt Shen's pouting expression, and she clenched her cuffs.

Although Aunt Shen loves Jinniang, she thinks that she has already added a shop worth two or three hundred taels to Jinniang, is it possible to give another five hundred taels of silver?

Her own money didn't fall from the sky, and there were still three debt collectors who crawled out of her stomach to handle the marriage, so there would be more opportunities to use the money in the future.

She was distressed enough to give Jin Niang's shop, and if she gave the money, Aunt Shen felt that it was simply ripping out her heart and cutting her flesh.

But she still has to do what her man explains. But how much to give to Jin Niang, she didn't say, and Jin Niang wouldn't say it with a big mouth, so her man didn't know the details.

With peace of mind, she greedily bought four hundred taels of silver, and Aunt Shen was in a good mood and soon fell asleep.

It was late at night, and everyone in the Lin family fell into a deep sleep, but Jin Niang couldn't fall asleep over and over.

I'm going to get married tomorrow, and to be honest, it's really new.

She has never been in love in her life, and when she said that she was married, she was married, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In this way, I opened my eyes until the third watch, and seemed to fall asleep in a daze, when I heard the sound of my aunt pushing the door.

"Jin Niang, it's not early, it's time to get up and wash up and put on makeup."

All day, Jin Niang was dizzy. In the midst of people coming and going, her impression was full of smiling faces one after another.

When she was about to go out, she suddenly saw Jin Qing coming over with red eyes and wanted to carry her to the front.

My aunt and a few elders in the Lin family said, "It means that you can just memorize it, Jinqing is still young, and she can't afford to carry his sister." ”

"Exactly. Besides, our side is open, and women walk out of the door by themselves abound, so you don't have to let your brother carry it. ”

Jin Niang looked at the little boy who had just reached her shoulder, and she also felt sorry for him. Jinqing herself is very thin, and she has never done heavy work in school all year round, and she doesn't have much strength, so she is reluctant to let her brother carry her. He said, "I'll go by myself." ”

"Sister, I'll carry you over."

Jin Niang looked at Jin Qing's stubborn expression, and had to compromise and said, "Okay, if you can't carry it, tell your sister, and it's the same for my sister to come down and go." ”

"Sister Qing'er's back."

A red shadow suddenly flickered in front of him, but it turned out that the hijab was covered. With a shout of "the bride goes out", Jin Niang was carried by Jin Qing.

After saying goodbye to her parents, crying and marrying, she was sent to a sedan chair, bumpy, and afterwards she didn't remember what she had experienced that day.

The only thing she still has an impression of is probably when she got on the sedan chair, she heard the people around her who were watching the excitement exclaiming, "Erlang of the Xu family is so good-looking" and "Erlang is married, I don't know how many girls in the town are going to cry and red-eyed." ”

She was in a trance and thought, it seems that Father Lin and Qing'er didn't lie to her, Xu Erlang did give birth to Longzhang Fengzi, otherwise, there would not be so many people who were amazed by his appearance.

Dizzy, I don't know when I arrived at Xu's Mansion.

Someone shot at the sedan curtain, and Jinniang's outstretched hand was also held in the palm of her hand.

From the glimmer of light peeking out from under the hijab, Jin Niang saw the man's fair-skinned and slender palms with well-proportioned bones, while his fingertips had thin calluses, and his hands were warm and cool.

Stepping over the brazier and worshipping heaven and earth, Jin Niang was helped and sent into the new house.

It's bustling outside, but it's quiet in the new house.

Jin Niang held her breath and condensed, and even the rhythm of her breathing slowed down a lot.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and the hijab on my head was picked open.

She reflexively raised her eyes and saw the groom dressed in red standing in front of her.

He has a slender figure, and his majesty is like green pines and cypresses; The face is fair and cold, with sharp edges and corners; His eyes were deep and intimidating, and he was looking at the petite bride sitting on the wedding bed at this time.

From his bleak expression, I couldn't tell his joy and anger, let alone whether he was satisfied with the bride in front of him. And his thin lips were tightly pursed, but he looked like he was not in contact.

As soon as they met, Jin Niang was in her heart and stamped her future husband with a "difficult to contact" poke.

Xu Erlang's name is Xu Yi, his appearance is cold, and his voice is also cold.

He said, "Have a drink." ”

When the words fell, a maid hurriedly poured wine and sent it over.

Xu Erlang took one of the cups, Jin Niang took the other cup, and the two intertwined their arms and drank each other.

"You rest first, I'll go to the front yard to toast."

After Xu Erlang left, the two maids in the house were also sent out by Jinniang.

She leaned on the head of the bed and drank slowly, thinking about the situation of the Xu family, the character of the people in the Xu Mansion, and how to act in the future.

Dizzy, it seemed to hear small footsteps.

Jin Niang looked in the direction of the door, and saw that the door that had been closed before was slowly pushed open at this time, and a small voice seemed to call her, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I came to see you." ”

Before Jin Niang could say "come in", a little girl in a pink spring shirt pushed the door and walked in.

The little girl and Xuanxuan are about the same age, and their appearance is slightly similar to Xu Erlang, and Jin Niang instantly knows who is coming.

"Is it sister-in-law?"

"Yes, it's me, my name is Pianpian, sister-in-law."

Jin Niang sat up straight and beckoned to the little girl, "Sister-in-law come and sit here." ”

"Well, well, I'll do it. Second sister-in-law, where do you sit and don't fall to the ground, Mama said that it was unlucky. ”

"Okay, sister-in-law doesn't move."

Xu Pianpian is the fourth girl in the Xu Mansion, she has three brothers, and she is the only girl in the family, but she is the youngest, so she is the most favored in the house.

Even if he doesn't have a family like Xu's father, ignores the world like Xu's mother, and ignores his sons, he has to look at his daughter twice when he is empty, so Xu Pianpian is carefree when he grows up, and his temperament is also lively and cute.

Xu Pianpian trotted over, and the maid who followed her exclaimed, "Girl, slow down, slow down, be careful of hitting the table leg." ”

Xu Pianpian waved her hand, "I'll pay attention, don't make a fuss, scare my second sister-in-law again." ”

Jin Niang: "......"

Xu Pianpian turned her head to look at her at this time, and after carefully examining her face, she exclaimed, "I didn't see it clearly when I was far away just now, but now I found out that the second sister-in-law is very beautiful, compared with my second brother." ”

Jin Niang tried to hold back a smile and not speak, but Xu Pianpian's maid was frightened when she heard this, "Fourth girl, don't you dare to say that about the second young master." You can't use beauty to describe a man's appearance, otherwise the second young master will be angry if he knows it. ”

Obviously, the second young master's anger was very powerful, not only was the maid's lips pale and her fingers trembling with fright, but even Xu Pianpian was so frightened that she covered her little mouth and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Jin Niang's heart trembled when she saw this, and she couldn't help but think, isn't Xu Erlang not only looking cold on the outside, but actually a "violent maniac" and a "cold-faced god"?

She didn't know whether to give Xu Erlang another poke of violence and cold-faced gods, after all, there was nothing to prove, and she didn't want to rashly add an impression to people, so it was better to wait for it to be confirmed in the future before stamping.

Xu Pianpian is a small chatter, her little mouth opens and closes, and she confides out any gossip.

After a while, she said that her mother would not be able to socialize, but now she was surrounded by a group of relatives, and her smiling face froze; After a while, she said that her father loved to drink the most, and on this good day, he had already drunk at this time; also said that her little third brother is a monkey, and he disappeared after a while, and he didn't know where to drill the dog hole again......

Rory is so rambling that he has simply pit all the people in the Xu Mansion who are older than her.

Jin Niang smiled silently, but Xu Pianpian's maid stomped her feet in a hurry.

As soon as these two ladies entered the door, their own girls publicized the "family ugliness", which made the bride think of the people in Xufu.

The maid frequently gave Xu Pianpian a look, but Xu Pianpian was on the rise, and she could receive the signals she transmitted. The maid scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, and she was about to cry.

Suddenly, seeing a plate of pastries on the table, the maid hurriedly spoke, "Girl, have you forgotten what we are doing here for the second lady?" ”

Xu Pianpian paused, followed the maid's line of sight to look at the table, and suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, I'm here to ask the second sister-in-law if she is hungry." Oh, my grandmother also specially explained to me that she wanted to ask her second sister-in-law what she liked to eat, but I was overjoyed when I saw my second sister-in-law, and I forgot about it as soon as I opened the chatterbox, which was really a sin. ”

Jin Niang: ...... Already laughing so much that my stomach hurts. This kid doesn't know who to talk to, and it's more than hand-to-foot, it's just cute.

Jin Niang was indeed hungry, and she ate a dumpling and a hard-boiled egg all day, and her stomach was already growling.

At this time, I was asked what I wanted to eat, and Jin Niang didn't refuse, so she said, "It's good to ask my sister-in-law to send me a bowl of somen noodles." "There is still a tough battle to be fought tonight, what should I do if I faint to death after not eating enough for a while?

Xu Pianpian said a few words "no problem", jumped down from the chair, and happily took the maid to prepare something for Jinniang.

But after a while, a maid came to deliver the food. In addition to the somen noodles that Jin Niang wanted, there were a few side dishes.

Jin Niang smelled the fragrance, and her stomach twitched even more. She finished eating the somen noodles with the side dishes, felt seven points full in her stomach, and was about to stop chopsticks.

As a result, before the chopsticks could be put down, a red shadow appeared in front of her eyes.

Jin Niang's heart suddenly lifted, she tried to show a reserved and shy smile, looked up and asked, "Have you finished toasting?" ”

The man let out a soft "um", and with a strong smell of alcohol on his body, he walked up to her and stopped, looking down at her from above.

A sense of oppression struck suddenly, and Jin Niang quietly put down her chopsticks and stood up, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?" …… Shall I ask the maid to bring some decanting soup? ”

Xu Erlang looked at the bowl of noodles she ate cleanly on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Just send the bowl of noodles over." ”

Without Jinniang's orders, the maid outside responded loudly and quickly brought her face.

Jin Niang sat next to her, and when she saw that this person was only blinking an eye, she ate a bowl of Zhenzi noodles and the side dishes sent by the maid, and even the few side dishes she had leftover, he cleared the plate.

"Take a bath."

The two rough envoys quickly carried the water into the west chamber, and then came out quickly.

Jin Niang saw Xu Erlang go in to take a bath, and she was entangled between the two choices of going in to help scrub the bath and staying where she was.

Soon she decided not to move for the time being, and Xu Erlang didn't call her anyway.

There was the sound of water in the bathroom, and Jin Niang sat anxiously on the stool in the room and pulled her clothes. Her face remained unchanged, but her feet trembled uncontrollably.

After another moment, Xu Erlang put on a snow-white bedrobe and walked out.

There was a mist on his body, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little moist, and he didn't look as awe-inspiring and aggressive as he had just now.

Jin Niang's pounding heart suddenly stabilized, and her whole person became calm.

"There's still water in the bathroom, you can go wash up."

"Oh? Oh! ”

Jin Niang got up, took a change of bedclothes, and walked into the bathroom with brisk steps.

She rubbed in the bathroom for a long time, and even stopped bathing in the middle, listening carefully to the movement outside with her ears sideways, so as to spy on whether Xu Erlang was asleep.

As a result, of course, nothing was heard.

After grinding until the water was cold, Jinniang had to get up and dry her hair in the bathroom before pacing back to the room.

The curtain on the bed had been lowered, and a tall figure could be seen lying flat on the bed.

There was an even sound of breathing in the room, and it seemed that he was asleep. Jin Niang's mood was relaxed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

She sat in front of the vanity mirror and wiped her hands and face briefly, combed her hair, and saw that it was really not early, so she was ready to blow out the candle and rest.

But suddenly remembered that today was the night of candles in their cave room, and the dragon and phoenix candles were going to be burned until dawn, so she glanced at the double candles that were weeping with regret, and walked into the stepping bed with trepidation.

The bed was dim, and the light in the room was faintly penetrating, making the figures look blurred.

Xu Erlang slept outside, and Jin Niang could only carefully bypass the soles of his feet, crawl slowly to the bed, and lie down face in.

She thought that Xu Erlang was drunk and asleep, but as soon as her head fell on the pillow, a huge force suddenly came from behind her.

The man's strong arms wrapped firmly around her slender waist, and with a slight flick, she turned around involuntarily.

Jin Niang's panicked eyes met a pair of deep dark eyes, she didn't have time to think about it, and she didn't even have time to show him a delicate smile, and the overwhelming kiss hit her head-on.

The clothes on her body were stripped off one by one, and Jin Niang arched her waist in pain, and tears wet the corners of her eyes.
