Chapter 2: Preparing for Marriage

Dechang Restaurant is the largest, best and most expensive restaurant in the county.

"I'm in for a treat today, what do you want to eat and drink, you're welcome." Wu Wenyi said happily.

"I have to thank you anyway." Wu Wenyi's face was proud.

"Thank me for what? Jing Wenzhou was a little surprised.

"If you hadn't taught the little boy of Master Li's family, how could I meet the girl of the Li family." Wu Wenyi squinted his eyes and seemed to be reminiscing: "Turn your eyes **, smooth and jade." The words were not spit out, and the breath was like a quiet orchid. Gorgeous and graceful, it makes me forget to eat! “

Then he said to himself: "Dan lips are bright outside, bright teeth are fresh inside, and bright eyes are good!" I don't think I'll judge people by their appearance, but Miss Li, Audemars Piguet's appearance is beautiful, fragrant and jade! A smile overflowed Wu Wenyi's eyes, and he said to himself.

"When did this happen?" Jing Wenzhou asked:

Wu Wenyi came back to his senses: "I once went to Li's house to look for you, but you weren't there, and I happened to see Miss Li chatting with his brother." ”

Wu Wenyi paused and continued: "That day, I went to look for you, and the little guy wanted to take me to pass the word, but I said I didn't need to, just ask him to lead the way." It's true—people are looking for him a thousand times, but the man is in the dim light!" Happiness seems to be the only one who favors this radiant young man at the moment, or love always inadvertently touches the entire central nervous system of people, and the excitement can't be suppressed.

may feel that he has been singing a one-man show, and he slightly restrained his emotions and sighed: "If I spread the word, I won't be able to see Miss Li." Although it is only a few short glances, it is engraved in my little brother's heart! Then he thought that he secretly went to the Li Mansion several times in the name of meeting his classmates, and he knew that he was not at home. That's why I didn't dare to say more. Think about the fact that he promised Li Yuyao's younger brother that if he informed him of his sister's whereabouts, he would help him enter the best academy in the county. And my heart blossomed.

Then the younger brother begged his mother to be the master and hire Miss Li as his wife. According to my mother, there are so many people who fall in love with Miss Li, if it weren't for her parents wanting to keep their daughter for a few more years, I'm afraid I would have missed it. Brother Jing, do you think this is fate? ”

Wu Wenyi said excitedly, but he didn't notice that his brother drank more and more. Then I heard a tom. Jing Wenzhou's head slammed on the table.

"Hey, if you can't drink it, drink less." How can you be happy for my brother. Today is a happy day! He turned around and told his little servant to help Jing Gongzi go home. Then I thought about it, and let him go home with him. The Li family will marry their daughter tomorrow, and it is estimated that no one will take care of him. Although the wine is not enjoyable, the mood is excellent, because someone shares it, and it is Brother Hou, this young man he admires very much, if there is anyone who can be on the list in the academy's entrance examination this time, it must be them.

Li Yuyao was really tired last night, can she not be tired after tossing the family? And everything is unfamiliar, it's a headache to think about, and a fiancé, what is this, no matter what, go to bed first, tomorrow's things will be talked about tomorrow, and there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

She didn't think about anything, she just slept well. You have to be in good shape to fight, don't you? She told herself, and then she slept until dawn. Because of yesterday's farce, Mr. and Mrs. Li also woke up naturally from her sleep. Although I didn't say anything in my heart, after all, my daughter, who has been raised for many years, is about to get married, which is a little sad. I don't know if my uncle will love her as much as her parents when she goes over there, so let them hurt more now. Moreover, the auspicious time to enter the husband's house today is in the afternoon.

Li Yuyao woke up. She felt very comfortable. When the maids brought water for washing, they opened the window and brought their wedding clothes. She had just woken up from her comfortable situation. "yes, you have to think about your situation. In this society where husbands are the sky. Marrying means that you have to be tied to this man for the rest of your life, and you have to rely on him. So? Whether he is good or bad for himself, he can't have children in the two years of marriage.

At the age of 16, that is, she has just reached high school, and it is physically and psychologically difficult for her to accept the courtesy of Zhou Gong with a man. Besides, if there are children at this age, the children may not be smart and hurt the woman's body.

: I don't want to die early. It's hard to come here, and you have to take a good look at it and take a good turn. History textbooks are only a few words, how can they truly reflect the present?

If you have the opportunity, I really want to see the real Qingming Shanghe described in the bustling market. So the main thing is to have a good talk with your fiancé and see if you can wait until two years later to do the Zhou Gong ceremony. Of course, it's difficult, but how do you know if you can't do it without trying? And listening to Jing Wenzhou say that he seems to be very good, then he is reasonable. This kind of person is now the second generation of officials. From birth to my own growth, I haven't encountered many setbacks, so we should be very proud, so we must act with softness and rigidity, and act at the opportunity. That's the purpose anyway. Li Yuyao discussed countermeasures with herself in her heart to prepare for the future.

"Miss, what do you want?" The little maid interrupted her thoughts.

"Oh, nothing, Apricot. You continue. "This girl named Apricot is her personal maid. She will go with her to her husband's house.

Xing'er felt that Miss was a little different, and she couldn't tell what was different. She frowned and continued to comb her young lady's hair.

"Miss, the lord and the lady are afraid that you will be hungry, so we made you porridge and vegetables, and after you finish eating, the grandmother will comb you with a bridal outfit."

"Okay, leave it here. I'm a little hungry, but you can get me some warm water, I want to drink it first. ”

"Miss, you wait first, I'll come" All the conversations are transitioning in a slow and logical manner, because Li Yuyao wants to adjust her own pace, the fast pace of modern people. At this time, she is proud and confident, even in a country that can be said to be almost unfamiliar. This kind of self-confidence and pride comes from the immersion of the 21st century education system, the kind - I am me, the world is waiting for me to change, the dream I want to make is never afraid of being seen by others, here I can achieve it!

Meimei eats a big meal, then goes to the toilet, bathes, and wears a cumbersome wedding dress. Li Yuyao continued to think about it. “

The county seat where she lives is called Yanjin, which is 50 kilometers away in the east of Kaifeng. If modern times are actually very close, but ancient times are not far away, so if you want to experience the Qingming Riverside Map, you still have to make a good relationship with your future husband. It is now the first year of Jianlong. It seems that good times have passed. The marriage of one's own officials and businessmen is necessary and unavoidable, who calls the social status of businessmen low. So parents also have their own difficulties. Think you have a little brother, hey! Forget it, living a good life is the greatest help for parents. ”

The maids helped her get dressed, and she was thinking about it, thinking about it, and suddenly felt that this ancient dress was really cumbersome and annoying. A modern person is really out of place here. For example, my chest grows bigger and bigger as I grow. Not having a bra will cause your breasts to sag, and it's okay when you're young, but wouldn't it be ugly if you're older? You have to find a way to do a few. Then it's to get a tights to wear, so that the figure won't be out of shape. There is also the need to strengthen exercise and dietary supplements. All the premise is that only those who must unite the good husband's family will live a comfortable life. There really is a lot of stuff that has to be done in the future. Then tonight is the top priority. If you can get your husband, you will have to squander your good life.

"Come on, Li Yuyao" she cheered herself up in her heart. It's a person, he has weaknesses, so adapt to it. The ancients did not have contraception, and if they used Chinese medicine, it was still not good for their health, so the husband was the key. Success in one fell swoop. Li Yuyao told herself, "The road is long and long, I will seek up and down." “

Suddenly, the probe saw an unfamiliar face. She looked at the little maid and turned to her maid. "Miss, he is the young master's servant. The young master is worried about you, so he sent a little servant over to take a look. Li Yuyao smiled at the little girl after listening to the maid's words. The little guy opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, my young master is kind. And the length is good-looking, too. In short, when you see it, you know. You're going to love my young master. The young master let me tell you, don't be afraid, he will support you when you get to our house. ”

Li Yuyao asked the little guy with a smile: "Your young master asked you to tell me, he is good-looking?" ”

"No, no, that's what I want to tell you." The little guy hurriedly explained and waved his hand.

Ha ha...... Everyone burst into laughter. The little girl's face turned red.

"Apricot" Li Yuyao gave Apricot a look. Apricot immediately understood. He hurriedly dragged the little maid to the young lady's study next door.

"This is the hard-earned money that my young lady gave you. ”

"This ...... I can't ask for it. The little guy blushed and refused.

"No, I have something to ask you. Your son-in-law is really as good as you say. After saying that, he stuffed the money into the little girl's hand. He doesn't have any other hobbies. "The little guy is a little anxious. He blushed and asked, "What do you mean, you suspect that my son-in-law is not good?" But he didn't refuse the money handed over again, and put it in his inner pocket at will.

"No, you're too careful." Apricot said.

"I just want to know what my young lady should pay attention to when she arrives at your house. For example, what are the taboos of the lord and the wife, and what do your sons like people to say and do? “

"Tell Miss that you really don't have to worry. The lord and lady are also very kind, and there are no special taboos. If there is, you can't have a cat at home, and the son will sneeze. The little servant pressed the money that was placed intimately.

"Okay, you tell me some of my habits. Apricot continued to ask.

"My son-in-law is studious. I get up early, and after practicing martial arts, I will go to the study to read a book for two hours. Then dine with the old lady and the old man. After that, he would go to the study and read again until it was time to eat. Anyway, I spent all day reading. And I don't like to be bothered by others. I used to live in the academy, but now I don't go because the son wants to marry. After getting married, I have to go to the entrance examination. After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at Xing'er and asked, "If you have anything else to ask, I'll tell you." "As if I was afraid that I had said the wrong thing, I didn't want to continue the topic.

"No, you can talk back." Apricot finished speaking and left.

Looking at the apricot who walked into the room. Li Yuyao told herself: "It seems that this son likes me very much." So you can't let him down, you have to do a good job. Everything must be done to him and approved by the woman of the moment in the best possible way. If this is a play, it is only allowed to succeed and not to fail. Wait and see, you may have to be tied to this person in the future. Then doing your duty well is fundamental, as long as it is not too unbearable, after all, you live in ancient times and not in modern times. ”

Li Yuyao has been waiting for her grandmother to finish combing her hair and finishing her makeup. Then he looked at himself in the mirror, turned his head and thanked his grandmother with a smile. Mama said, "This is what an old slave should do, so let's rest." The old slave replied to Madame's questioning. ”

"Okay, thank you for being careful, you can go." "This mother has been serving by her mother's side. It was because she combed her hair and put on makeup that she was sent by her mother. After Mama went out, Xing'er said, "You go out first to let Miss rest and rest, and then I will call you when I need to." ”

"Okay, Sister Xing'er. We're just outside. If you have something, shout "a little maid squeaks."

"Okay, I will."

When the room finally quieted down, Xing'er sat next to Li Yuyao and told her what the little girl said about her son, while Li Yuyao lay on the collapse and leaned on the pillow. Listening to Xing'er's words, in fact, her thoughts had already run away. That is to say, my husband is going to participate in the spring festival. It's spring, and he's going to leave next year, because it's not far from Kaifeng. But if you wait until next year, the inn may not be easy to find, the best way is to start now, buy a house in Kaifeng or book accommodation early. It is necessary to find someone to go to Kaifeng to see the market in the city, and if there is a chance, buy a house and rent it out until next year, my husband and I will live. But what if he told me to be filial to my parents at home? It seems that the husband is still the key.

"Miss, you're distracted again. Did you listen to me? Apricot was a little upset.

"My good apricot, of course I listened".

But in my heart I told myself that it worked. It's clear that the son has explained, what can you ask? He's not his own little guy. Let's do it when the opportunity arises. Li Yuyao, who was thinking about her thoughts, was interrupted by the sound of pushing the door.

"Mother. Li Yuyao called.

Apricot knew that Madame had something to say to Miss, so she walked out and closed the door.

"Mother has something to say to you. You are about to get married, and when you go to your in-law's house, you need to be patient. Honor your in-laws and serve your husband. You don't have to worry too much, as my mother said, Master Li is an honest official and loved by the people. I don't think he will embarrass my son. Your father and I have met Li Xianling and his wife, and they didn't look down on us, so it's a good relationship. Your parents will never push you into a fire pit. The mother babbled on and on, and then talked about the newlyweds' boudoir. At first, Li Yuyao listened patiently and carefully, and slowly she became distracted. But in the eyes of the mother, it is well-behaved and docile. Mrs. Li looked at her daughter, and her heart was sour. What a beautiful child. A handful of and urine are raised, and in the blink of an eye, they have become someone else's family again. She just wants to hold her daughter in her arms and love her like when she was a child.

Li Yuyao raised her head and said to her mother with tears in her eyes: "My son will remember my mother's teachings." ”

Mrs. Li couldn't hold back anymore and hugged her daughter and cried.

Li Yuyao wiped her mother's tears and said, "Otherwise, I won't get married, and I will accompany you at home." “

The mother hurriedly laughed until she took her daughter's handkerchief and wiped her tears at the same time: "Silly girl, how can there be a reason for a daughter to live at home without marrying!" Besides, my son is so beautiful as a flower. “

"But I can't bear you and my father. Besides, my husband's family doesn't know if I'm adapting. It may be different from our rules. ”

"Then if you need anything now, just tell your mother." Mrs. Li looked at her daughter and said.

"Mother, I have an idea that I don't know if my mother will help me?" Li Yuyao said.

"You don't hurt to say that's fine. "Mrs. Li has arrived.

Li Yuyao looked at her mother and paused as if she had made up her mind: "Mother, don't ask me what I do, can you buy me a small mansion with my father in Kaifeng?" Don't be very good, it's the kind of ordinary people who use it. Don't buy in the streets where the rich and high-ranking officials live, but don't go too far from the main streets, and be cleaner. In Kaifeng, open a medicine store again. All right? Then she looked at her mother with a pleading look.

The mother pondered for a while, and her daughter she understood that she had never filled in the mess for her since she was a child. Well-behaved and sensible. It was also the first time that this marriage had trouble with her. It was also the first time she had been asked for something so significant. She thought about it again, if she asked the master, the master's concubine was afraid that it would be bad. It's better to do it yourself.
