Chapter Twenty-Nine: Humiliation
As soon as Shen Shu coughed like this, Shen Pomegranate took another piece of meat and put it in Shen Shu's bowl, and then smirked, making Shen Shu laugh too.
A table of people was eating, Du Xuanmo thought while eating, and finally asked, "Is the pomegranate girl going to get married?" ”
"Huh? Nope! Zheng said, remembering what Qian said just now, it should have been heard by the two children, and they happened to talk about it to Shen Shu, Du Xuanmo also listened to it next to him, and finally felt relieved!
"It turns out that it's not a marriage!" Du Xuanmo said, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, and this reaction made everyone at the table a little puzzled.
Why are you so happy that our pomegranate didn't have such a good family affair?
"Ah no, I mean the pomegranate girl is still young, it's too early to get married!" Du Xuanmo explained, and everyone was relieved.
Shen Shu had some doubts in his heart, and took this opportunity to ask: "Brother Du, you shouldn't be young today, right, but the family has made a marriage for you?" ”
Du Xuanmo shook his head: "There is no marriage." After speaking, he also looked at Shen Pomegranate.
Shen Pomegranate only drinks a bowl of porridge because of weight loss, and her porridge has a lot of plums, which has the effect of moistening the intestines. At this time, she only cared about drinking porridge to lose weight, but she didn't look up at Du Xuanmo, and naturally she didn't notice Du Xiaoge's "autumn wave secret send".
"Xuanmo, this kid is a good one, and he will definitely be able to marry a lady in the future!" Zheng said.
Du Xuanmo smiled, and then asked Zheng: "What kind of person does Auntie want to find for the pomegranate girl to be her husband?" ”
Zheng smiled: "I don't know, pomegranate this child has attention, we hope that she will find a non-farming, no need to work in the future, a little ink at home is naturally the best, some heritage, don't worry about suffering in the future, but we are a small family, it is estimated that it will be so difficult to find!" Zheng pondered that Shen Pomegranate could find a good farmer in the future, as long as it was good for her daughter, it didn't matter what she did.
Du Xuanmo's mind was storming rapidly, don't you farm? He doesn't farm, does he? He also has ink, as for the background...... It is true that his family has no foundation now, but it does not mean that there will be no foundation in the future. The more Du Xuanmo thought about it, the more he felt that the person Zheng said was himself, and the more he thought about it, the more relaxed he became.
"Mother, I'm still young, and I don't necessarily have to find something in the future!" Shen Shiliu said: "I'm so fat now, it's hard to get married, don't dream of your mother-in-law when you're old!" Shen Shiliu said, making Zheng angry, and scolded with a smile: "This stinky girl, just owe a beating!" ”
Du Xuanmo was eating, he was in a good mood, and he ate more, Shen Shimei looked at it, this amount of food, he was the one who topped their family......
"Have you eaten enough? If I don't have plum porridge in the pot, I can get some dried shrimp? Shen Shiliu looked at the cleaned plate and asked.
"I'm full, rude!" Du Xuanmo was a little embarrassed, he usually ate a relatively normal amount of food, but today's meal of the Shen family was simply delicious, he liked everything he ate, and he didn't stop all of a sudden, breaking his vow of gluttony!
Shen Shiliu smiled lightly, and Zheng also smiled: "It's going to be dark, Xuanmo can stay here today, you can squeeze it with the big tree." ”
Du Xuanmo waved his hand: "This is not good, I will leave." Then he looked at Shen Shimei, the Shen family has an unmarried sister-in-law, he can't just live here like this.
"It's okay, let the big tree give you a ride." Father Shen said that people who have read books understand etiquette, and it is a good thing that they dare not cross it easily.
Shen Shu nodded, then went to the kitchen to get a paper lantern with a candle in it, and then sent Du Xuanmo to go first.
Du Xuanmo and Shen Shu were walking on the road, Shen Shu hesitated for a moment, and then asked Du Xuanmo: "Brother Du, what do you think of my pomegranate?" ”
Du Xuanmo didn't expect Shen Shu to ask directly, so he said, "I think the pomegranate girl is very good." ”
"Which is better?" Shen Shu asked.
Du Xuanmo said: "The pomegranate girl is smart, capable, and kind to others, I like the pomegranate girl very much." ”
"You like my sister?" Shen Shu finally heard the key.
Du Xuanmo nodded, hummed, a little embarrassed.
Shen Shu's heart was churning, afraid that he had misunderstood, so he asked, "Is it the kind of like that who wants to marry her home as a wife?" ”
Du Xuanmo nodded again and hummed again.
This time Shen Shuke was messy, but he didn't expect to really go according to his guess.
"Then don't you dislike my sister for being fat?" Shen Shu asked, now Shen Pomegranate is everything else, but because of this fat, he has endured all the ridicule and cold eyes, although he knows that his sister is good, but not everyone else can understand!
Du Xuanmo said: "Don't dislike it, when the pomegranate girl rescued me on the street, I thought the pomegranate girl was good. "Some likes were really predestined from the start.
Shen Shu frowned, and many thoughts flashed in his heart.
Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shu was a little entangled, so he said: "Brother Shen, don't worry, the pomegranate girl is still young, I am going to take the big exam in three years, and when I have fame, my family's life will no longer be bitter." ”
Shen Shu shook his head: "I didn't mean that. "It's not that he dislikes Du Xuanmo's family now, just because Du Xuanmo has ink in his stomach, it can be regarded as his Shen family's high climbing, he is worried......
"You're not lying to me, Pomegranate is still young, I don't understand these things about men and women, I couldn't think of hanging herself because others scolded her for being a sow worm, and I finally recovered, if you hurt her again, our whole family can use an axe to chop you!" Shen Shu said that in his heart, he felt that the more people who read, the more chicken thieves they became, and he specially deceived them honest people!
Du Xuanmo shook his head: "I didn't tell a lie, but now my mother is still a little unwilling, and when she dies, she will feel that the pomegranate girl is good." ”
Shen Shu finally realized what an inflexible person he was today, and he didn't know what to say.
"Anyway, the pomegranate is still young now, you two don't get too close on weekdays, in case you have a bad reputation, I won't spare you!" Shen Shu said that marriage is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, and a private life is considered a big rebellion and unruly, and before all the dust settles, it is better to keep his duty.
Du Xuanmo nodded: "I know, Brother Shen." "Naturally, he wouldn't want to hurt Shen Pomegranate.
Shen Shu stuffed the paper lantern in his hand into Du Xuanmo's hand: "Keep walking until you reach the county seat, you move quickly, the city gate is probably about to close." After Shen Shu finished speaking, he left in a hurry, how many times he had walked this road, it was okay to walk with his eyes closed.
Du Xuanmo carried the lantern and hurried to the county seat, and arrived home before closing the city gate.
Du Niangzi waited in the courtyard for Du Xuanmo to come back as soon as it was dark, Du Xuanmo hurriedly said something to do in the afternoon and left, seeing that Du Xuanmo had just come back like this, he asked, "Where did you go, this child?" Gone in such a hurry? ”
Du Xuanmo blew out the candle flame in the lantern, thinking about returning the lantern tomorrow.
"Mother, the pomegranate girl injured her foot, I followed Brother Shen to visit his house." Du Xuanmo said.
As soon as she heard Shen Pomegranate mentioned, Du Niangzi's expression was gloomy, and she asked Du Xuanmo: "You kid, why are you still energetic, my mother can't do it if she says no!" ”
"Mother, you go and rest first." Du Xuanmo was tired, but her mother was still stubborn.
Du Niangzi saw that Du Xuanmo didn't want to talk much about this matter, so she could only let Du Xuanmo go back to the room.
"This family affair must have been settled earlier." Du Niangzi muttered, and hurried back to bed early, she had something to do tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Du Xuanmo went to set up a bookstall with his front foot, and Du Niangzi also went out with his back foot. She had already inquired about where the family had moved, and she had always wanted to go, but Du Xuanmo kept preventing her from going. This time, Du Xuanmo didn't know what kind of soup she had drunk, so she fell in love with Shen Pomegranate, she had to quickly settle the family affairs and stabilize Du Xuanmo's heart.
Early in the morning, Du Niangzi went to Linxian, Linxian is far away, she walked for nearly two hours to arrive, and then went to find the family. I inquired about it before, and this family is not very rich and noble, and their life is relatively hard, but this is okay, their Du family has no money, and they can be regarded as a good person.
found a family in the alley, Du Niangzi knocked on the door, and soon someone inside came to see the door, it was also a woman, who looked less than fifty years old.
"Are you ......?" The woman asked.
"This family is surnamed Wu, right?" Du Niangzi asked, and the woman nodded a little puzzled.
Du Niangzi hurriedly said: "My husband's surname is Du, and he is from the Du family in Anyang County, and he is an old acquaintance with your family." ”
When the woman heard this, she thought about it, but she didn't think of anything, but she still let Du Niangzi into the courtyard.
"Sit down first, I'll find my master." So saying, the woman went into the house.
Du Niangzi looked at the yard, it was similar to her own, only slightly larger and newer, not as small and broken as her own, but it was a little stronger.
A man came out of the room, and after seeing Du Niangzi, he really recognized it, and asked, "But Brother Bowen's sister-in-law?" ”
Du Niangzi nodded, and then: "Exactly!" ”
The three of them sat down directly, and Master Wu let his daughter-in-law Liu serve tea.
Master Wu asked Mrs. Du: "I haven't seen Mrs. Sister-in-law for many years, ...... Mrs. Sister-in-law came this time?" ”
Du Niangzi nodded and said, "Actually, I came here for the child's family affairs." ”
Master Wu raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Relatives? What's the matter? ”
Liu also looked at Du Niangzi in wonder, when did he have a family affair?
Du Niangzi sighed in her heart, and hurriedly explained: "What you and my husband said back then, the two children are married!" ”
Master Wu was stunned for a moment, muttered in his heart, and then asked, "Is there a marriage certificate as proof?" ”
Du Niangzi's heart was cold, she shook her head, there was no marriage certificate.
"Is there a token of that?" Master Wu asked again.
Du Niangzi's heart was even colder, she shook her head, and there was no token.
"Where's that family?" Master Wu said in conclusion.
Although Du Niangzi is a woman, she can't be sent away like this.
"Master Wu, you can't say that, my husband helped you a lot that day, I also heard this on the table, you didn't recognize it when you saw my family in the middle of the road at this time, you can't help but bully our orphans and widows too much!" Du Niangzi said.
