Chapter 5: Marriage Night

In the middle of the night, Gu Liuxi was woken up by the cold again, she slept on the bed with a quilt and still felt cold, the person was lying on the stool, just a few clothes could keep out the cold, what did it look like?

Gu Liuxi got up quietly, groped his way into the lobby in the dark, and found a place to park his dowry.

said that it was a lobby, but in fact, it was just a very simple and dilapidated house, with a round table in the middle, and the stools were taken away by Song Yu. Gu Liuxi's dowry was really neatly placed in the corner, and there was no sign of moving a few boxes, it seemed that the Song family's conduct would not be too bad, and they didn't even open the box without her permission.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have pried open the box and taken the valuable things inside.

Even in modern times, when the woman gets married, the family will help prepare bedding, although the Gu family is not very rich, but Master Gu feels sorry for his daughter, and the dowry prepared for Gu Liuxi is also rich, and bedding is certainly indispensable. She opened the box and fumbled around, and sure enough, she found something that looked like a quilt.

It was too dark at night, she hugged the two quilts and turned around and wanted to go back to the room, but when she turned around, she saw a figure standing straight behind, like a ghost who came to ask for her life, so frightened that Gu Liuxi spinelessly threw down the quilt to cover her eyes, opened her throat and screamed again and again.

"Ahhh

"It's me, don't be afraid." Song Yu's deep voice came from the darkness, miraculously soothing Gu Liuxi's ups and downs of fear.

"You, why are you standing there!" Gu Liuxi couldn't help but complain, "I'm scared to death!" ”

"I'm sorry." Song Yu was sincere and slowly walked over to help her pick up the quilt.

His eyes were deep and sharp, and the moment just now made Gu Liuxi think that it was a bloodthirsty beast, lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to move, and he could pounce on her and bite her neck in the blink of an eye.

Knowing that the other party was not a demon beast and was not a threat to himself, Gu Liuxi's tone also became brisk, and he teased: "Why do you come here in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Spying on me, right? ”

Song Yu shook his head, "No." He was just worried that she couldn't take it and wanted to leave him and run away. The lights were blind in the middle of the night, and it was raining outside, so he was afraid that something would happen to her, so he kept secretly following behind.

"Forget it, it's all here, help me carry the quilt back, I can't see it very much." Gu Liuxi said.

Song Yu picked up the two quilts with one hand, hesitated and stretched out his other hand, "Pull me." ”

"Huh?" Gu Liuxi's eyes blinked.

"Let's go, don't bump into it." Song Yu urged.

Gu Liuxi couldn't see the tips of his slightly reddened ears in the dark, grabbed his arm and asked him to take him back to the room.

Back in the house, Song Yu lit the oil lamp and was about to help Gu Liuxi lay out a new quilt, but saw that the woman had already put one of the quilts on the stool.

"You ......"

Gu Liuxi clapped his hands, "Okay, so that it won't be cold, you can sleep first, and I'll go to see if there is anything else in the box tomorrow to keep warm." ”

After not seeing Song Yu's movements for a long time, she looked back in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Song Yu was so taciturn that he couldn't say thank you for a while, so he had to walk over slowly and lie back on the chair.

After all, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and his walking posture is a little weird. Gu Liuxi had the heart to ask him what kind of injury was on his leg, but he was embarrassed to speak, although the two were already in that kind of relationship now, they were not familiar enough.

Take your time, don't force it.

Water droplets were dripping on the eaves, and the sound of wind and rain was intertwined, and Gu Liuxi fell into a deep sleep in his thoughts.

Early the next morning, when Gu Liuxi woke up, Song Yu had already disappeared, even the stools and quilts were put away, and the room seemed empty.

Earlier, outside the house, the two brothers of Aunt Song and the Li family were surrounding Song Yu to ask about the situation.

"Yu'er, that young lady didn't embarrass you, did she?" Aunt Song was nervous, and pulled her son around to see if there were any scars on his body.

Brother Li An hurriedly said, "How can I not be embarrassed, I slept groggily last night, as if I heard her scream, I must have quarreled with my cousin, right?" ”

His younger brother Li Mu knocked his head, "Don't talk nonsense, you heard it wrong!" After that, he tried his best to give him a look, signaling not to let his aunt worry.

Aunt Song really eagerly pulled Song Yu over, and said anxiously: "She didn't beat you, didn't hurt you, did she?" ”

Song Yu soothed: "Mother, don't worry, nothing happened." ”

"How can it be, she is so fierce, she says she is a tigress, you have a gentle temperament, and you can't say it when you are bullied!" Aunt Song burst into tears.

Song Yu hurriedly wiped her tears and softened her voice, "Don't cry, mother, it's really okay, she's not as bad as rumored outside, you'll know if you get along with her more." ”

"Really?" Aunt Song didn't believe it.

Song Yu nodded lightly, and Li Mu also said: "Since my cousin has said so, aunt, you can relax, you can't cry, otherwise your eye condition will worsen." ”

Aunt Song also knew that the matter had come to this, and it was useless for her to cry again, so she had to give up and put on an apron to cook in the stove house.

After Gu Liuxi came out neatly and tidy, everyone in the family sat at the table anxiously and waited for her.

"I'm sorry, I can't sleep in bed, so I got up late." Gu Liuxi felt deeply guilty, the new daughter-in-law asked the elders to wait for her on the first day she entered the door, if her own father was present, she would have been scolded by blood.

Aunt Song was quite surprised to see her take the initiative to apologize, and glanced at her husband Father Song, her eyes full of incredulity.

Li An smiled and said, "I didn't have to wait long, I just cooked the meal, and I just waited for you, sister-in-law." ”

Gu Liuxi had a good impression of this clean-looking young man, and said with a smile, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Me?" Li An pointed to his nose, "My name is Li An, I am my cousin's cousin, this is my own brother Li Mu, our father and mother died early, and it was my aunt and uncle who pulled us up." ”

Cousin's cousin......

Gu Liuxi figured out the identities of the two and said with a smile: "Then please advise me more in the future, two cousins." ”

"Hey, hey, it's easy to say." Ang Lee smirked and scratched his head.

Li Mu and Aunt Song were dumbfounded, they didn't expect the legendary tigress to be so easy-going, shouldn't she be arrogant and disdain to talk to them?

Finally started the meal, the Song family ate quickly, Gu Liuxi chewed slowly, and swallowed a mouthful of rice for a long time.

Oh my God, this is too unpalatable!

This gruel, which looks like clear water, pickles that exude a musty smell, and dry and hard pies mixed with various coarse grains, is simply hard to swallow.

Gu Liuxi thinks that he is not a picky eater, but it is really difficult to swallow in the face of such a "delicacy".

During the meal, the family was carefully observing her face, and although she frowned slightly, she still swallowed the food in small gulps, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the meal, Aunt Song washed the dishes, Father Song took his two nephews to fish in the lake, and Gu Liuxi sorted out her dowry with Song Yu.
