Chapter 9: Jianglin Town
The second elder of the Dong family was surprised at first, and Dong's father frowned and said: "We have no objection to you two going out to do business, but Aru has never been out of Xiaohe Village, although Jianglin Town is small, it is also the largest town within a radius of 100 miles, we are worried that Aru will not be suitable." ”
Dong's mother also looked at Wei Qilang and the others with some concern, only Dong Yun was on the side, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Before coming, Dong Ru and Wei Qilang had thought that the second elder would have this kind of worry, and when the two looked at each other, Wei Qilang's eyes flashed with a soft color, so he pulled Dong Ru to the second elder and knelt down, according to local customs, the young couple respectfully kowtowed to the second elder three times.
Father Dong and Mother Dong sat on the throne with a smile and accepted this ceremony, and when Bi Wei Qilang gave Father Dong tea, he said: "Father and mother don't need to worry, Ah Ru is my mother, I have married Ah Ru, and I will protect her for a lifetime, and I will not worry about your second elder." ”
When Dong's mother, who was about to lean over to help the two of them, heard this, she paused her hand, glanced at Dong's father, and saw that each other's eyes were full of relief, so she smiled, and now she was completely relieved.
Which parent doesn't want his child to be safe and healthy for the rest of his life, and it is a good choice to marry such a father-in-law, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up." ”
Dong Ru's face was already crimson, and her heart was sweet, so she quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Wei Qilang beside her, but she didn't want her mother to look at her with love and pity in her eyes at this time, she was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly lowered her head, but her face was even redder.
Mother Dong looked at her daughter's shy look, and suddenly shook her head, thinking that her daughter was still so thin-skinned when she got married, but just looking at her eyes looking at Dong Ru, it was a strong doting love.
After Wei Qilang was chopping wood in the yard, Dong's father moved a small wooden stool and sat on the side and happily smoked a dry tobacco pot and talked to him, and the mother and mother said something considerate on the side of the yard.
Two days later, after selling the property and bidding farewell to the second elder of the Dong family, Wei Qilang took Dong Ru to hire an ox cart and came to Jianglin Town, a small town not far from Xiaohe Village.
This is already the most border of the Chu State, within a radius of 200 miles, there is only this small town with a small population, and the people in the surrounding villages have all gathered in this town to gather on weekdays.
Dong Ru has never been out of Xiaohe Village until she is sixteen years old, so even though this is a sparsely populated town, she walks on the street, she is always looking around, and her wonderful eyes feel fresh everywhere.
The buildings in the city naturally don't have to be in the countryside, although the houses are low, none of them are two-storey, but as far as the eye can see, all of them are red-roofed brick houses, and there are many shops on the streets, which are many times richer than Dong Ru's small broken village in the countryside.
"This is Jianglin Town, I'm so big, it's the first time I've entered the city. Look, these houses look really good. ”
Dong Ru turned his head to look around, holding Wei Qilang's arm with one hand, and constantly pointing to the scenery around him with the other, his face flushed with excitement.
Wei Qilang always looked calm, looking at Dong Ru's excited little face, his eyes were doting, only occasionally, disdain appeared faintly in the depths, and he seemed to be disdainful of the surrounding scenery.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the restaurant, stay at the inn for one night and rest, and then you stay, I'll go out and find a place to stay."
Dong Ru nodded, turned her head to stare at the people around her, her heart was soft, and the people around her were tall, as if there was endless power, which exuded and constantly affected her, which could make her feel at ease and stable.
She doesn't have to think about anything, Wei Qilang has already planned everything, she just has to follow, although Dong Ru is not stupid, she will also plan trivial things at home on weekdays, but at this moment, she undoubtedly enjoys the feeling of being taken care of.
Jianglin Town is very small, and there are not many guests from afar who come to this remote place on weekdays, so there is only one inn in the whole town.
Fate comes to live.
Staring at the name of this inn, Wei Qilang suddenly chuckled, and Dong Ru on the side looked at it when he heard the sound, and Wei Qilang's expression was quite emotional, and for a while, she was a little puzzled.
I couldn't help but glance at the plaque more, and subconsciously said softly: "Fate comes to live...... It's really a good name. ”
Wei Qilang seemed to be taken aback, his face changed to surprise, and he turned his head to look at Dong Ru, who was looking up at the plaque.
"Ladies are literate."
Dong Ru's face was red, and he just wanted to speak, but listening to the joking tone of the prince next to him, his heart suddenly trembled, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but she goes against common sense and can read and write, and now she is discovered by Wei Qilang, and he listens to his tone of jokes, and his heart hurts, only that he doesn't like women to be literate, and he is a little depressed, and the whole person looks a little depressed.
"Mr. Zhao in the village was wandering around the village with a book all day long, and I had nothing to do, so I secretly followed him to learn words in the ridges for a few days, but I didn't learn much......"
She said babbling with a bitter face, she didn't know what was going on, anyway, when she heard that Wei Qilang's tone was wrong, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and hurriedly began to explain regardless of it, even she didn't know what she was explaining.
