Chapter 52: Men's New Year's Greetings

Shen Shiliu led Du Xuanmo into the courtyard, saw that Du Xuanmo's little nose was red, and asked me, "Is it cold?" Let's go first! ”

Shen Shiliu said and led people into the big house of Shen's father and the Zheng family, and she couldn't directly lead a beautiful young man to her house, otherwise she would be famous in these ten miles and eight villages.

As soon as Du Xuanmo entered the house, he greeted the New Year first, and he was still carrying red-skinned eggs in his hand, which was very heartfelt.

"Sit down, sit down, this is so far away, it's really hard for you!" Zheng went to pour tea as he spoke.

Father Shen beckoned Du Xuanmo to sit down first, and then looked at Shen Shimei, as a girl's father, Father Shen was a little confused now.

"Is my aunt feeling better?" Shen Shiliu was afraid that the atmosphere would be embarrassing, so he found a topic.

Du Xuanmo nodded with a faint smile: "It's better, and when the weather gets warmer in a few days, it will be great." ”

Shen Shiliu nodded and said, "Is it warmer now?" ”

"It's much better, there were a few snows a few years ago, and the snow on the road was a little thicker, so I originally wanted to arrive in the morning." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu looked at the hour and said, "This time is also the right time, after walking so far to pay New Year's greetings, why do you have to stay for a meal!" So saying, he hurried out to burn the stove.

Zheng saw that Shen Pomegranate was busy, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Shimei smiled beautifully, and then whispered: "What else can I do, people come to pay New Year's greetings!" ”

"This girl, is this little brother Du really ......" Zheng said, I heard Shen Shu say that Du Xuanmo liked her pomegranates a little bit before, but now that I look at it, it seems that it really means something.

Shen Shiliu smiled lightly and didn't say anything, she just knew it in her heart! Coming on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Du Xuanmo must have an idea, but he didn't say it explicitly.

The lunch meal is also very homely, and Shen Pomegranate made it himself, although it is not as exaggerated as the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but it is also drooling to watch.

"Let's eat first!" Shen Shiliu set the table and asked a few people to go to the kitchen to eat, and Shen Shiliu cleaned the stove before sitting down.

"We don't have any family backgrounds, I guess there will be something unruly for a while, don't worry about it!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, give Du Xuanmo a preventive shot first, in case Du Xuanmo has big rules.

Du Xuanmo hurriedly waved his hand: "We don't have any family in our family!" ”

"Let's eat, then!" Shen Shiliu said.

Shen Shu sat next to Du Xuanmo, a little restrained.

Du Xuanmo smiled at Shen Shu, he actually felt restrained.

The family sat together and chatted about something, Shen Shiliu saw that their family was still chatting at the dinner table, and Du Xuanmo didn't seem to have any disgust, so she was relieved.

After eating, Du Xuanmo pondered about leaving first, and Shen Shimei wanted to send it, but was stopped by the Zheng family.

"Big tree, you go and send someone!" Zheng said with a smile.

As soon as Shen Shu and Du Xuanmo went out, they heard Zheng Shi say: "You are a girl, and you have to be careful about gossip!" ”

"What's the gossip..."Shen Shiliu said, she really wanted to "press the road" with Du Xuanmo...

Father Shen also asked at this time, "What are you two talking about?" What's the gossip? ”

"You don't know, don't ask." After Zheng finished speaking, he took Shen Shiliu to Shen Shimei's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Shiliu asked Zheng: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

"You still ask me, I still want to ask you, what the hell is going on with him?" Zheng asked in a slow voice.

Shen Shiliu looked at Zheng's attitude, he should know her thoughts, so he secretly rubbed over and said, "Mother should already know you like this, why do you still want to ask me?" ”

"I don't know anything." Zheng said.

"Since that mother doesn't know anything, then I won't say anything!" Shen Pomegranate smiled with a hippie smile.

When Zheng looked at it, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to support you in the future?" He is a scholar, he can't carry his shoulders or lift his hands, and you will be tired in the future! After all, she is her own daughter, and she can't just watch Shen Shiliu suffer in the future.

Shen Shimei has thought about this question before, Du Xuanmo is indeed a scholar, but she Shen Shimei is not a weak little girl, as long as the family has one to support.

"Mother, where is this, you think long enough." Shen Shiliu said with a smile, and now he hasn't written a word!

Zheng glared at Shen Shiliu and said: "The most important thing for us women is the name, it is definitely not okay to go to the third and fourth day, you think Brother Du is very good today, and tomorrow you can't say empathy and don't love!" ”

"I know, mother, it's going to be fine!" Shen Shiliu said, feelings are a matter of two people, and it is not just hot for her alone, it also depends on what Brother Du thinks, but today Du Xuanmo will come to their Shen family to pay New Year's greetings, and he thinks it is a good start.

On the other hand, Shen Shu went to send Du Xuanmo, but he didn't think that there was anything too special about the scholars, but now that he has studied from the school, he feels that Du Xuanmo is really a humble gentleman.

"Brother Du family, is what you said before true or false?" Shen Shu asked as he walked.

"Nature is true." Du Xuanmo replied.

Shen Shu hesitated for a moment and said, If the Du family brothers are not sincere, don't let the pomegranate be sad, the pomegranate is estimated to be for you before, and the Han family did not agree to the matter. ”

Du Xuanmo was silent, and then said: "I will go to Kyoto City for a scientific expedition in a few months, and if I have a fame, I will definitely come to propose to the pomegranate." But if he doesn't have any fame, I ...... "He also knows his current situation, since Shen Shiliu is the girl he likes, he doesn't want Shen Shimei to suffer with him."

"I think even if you don't achieve fame, Pomegranate won't say anything, after all, you ...... now" Shen Shu said, his sister is not a person who is greedy for vanity, who can say what will happen in the future, Shen Pomegranate will not predict the future, so he is sure that Du Xuanmo will definitely be famous.

Du Xuanmo thought for a while and said: "No matter what, I still want to work hard, if you have it, it's good, if you don't have it, if you don't have it, it's not extravagant." Shen Shu's words made him think more, Shen Pomegranate didn't love vanity, but the more this was the case, the more he wanted Shen Pomegranate to live well.

Give everything good to his girl!

After walking for a while, Shen Shu also finished saying everything he had to say, and after saying goodbye to Du Xuanmo, Shen Shu went home first, and Shen Shimei was cleaning up the table.

"Brother, you're back, what did you say to Brother Du?" Shen Pomegranate hurried over, really curious.

Shen Shu smiled, then looked at his father and mother were not in front of him, and whispered to Shen Shimei: "Brother Du said, when he goes to the scientific examination, if he wins the fame, he will propose marriage!" ”

"Really?" Shen Shiliu was happy, but after thinking about it, what if he didn't hit?

"It's really true, but he still wants to get fame and come back to propose, I also told him, even if you don't win, you are not a vain person, as for what happens later, it depends on how he thinks about it." Shen Shu said.

Shen Shiliu nodded, what Shen Shu said was also true.

"Brother is worthy of studying, and he speaks very well!" Shen Shiliu said, although Shen Shu was also very good in the past, but after going to the school, he became more sensible, and the whole person was more elegant.

Shen Shu smiled: "I don't have anything to do with you, I have to prepare, and I have to go to Xiuhua's house tomorrow!" "He also has to pay homage to his father-in-law.

Shen Shiliu grinned, and then began to worry, and he didn't know if Du Xuanmo had made up the money to go to the capital to take the exam......

On the third day of the first lunar month, Shen Shu was preparing early in the morning, Shen Pomegranate was helping by the side, the home-smoked duck, and two catties of sorghum wine, Shen Shimei felt that it was enough, after all, Hong Xiuhua had not passed the door yet, and making too much of it would make people gossip.

"Go ahead, remember to sweeten your mouth and make the old man happy!" Shen Shiliu instructed Shen Shu, but in the past, she might have worried that Shen Shu was stupid and didn't talk much, but now she is not worried, Shen Shu is not ambiguous at the critical moment.

Shen Shu smiled and went out with his things, and Shen Shiliu was just about to go back to the yard when he heard someone knocking on the door again.

"It's coming!" Shen Shiliu answered, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Han Shuliang.

"Brother Shuliang, you're here!" Shen Pomegranate said and let people come in first.

Han Shuliang saw that it was Shen Pomegranate who opened the door, so he asked, "Is Pomegranate at home alone?" ”

"My father and mother are here, what's wrong?" Shen Shiliu asked.

Han Shuliang nodded and said, "The ninth day of the first year is beautifully married, I will send a letter, and then our family will go to drink the wedding wine!" ”

As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that Han Meili was going to get married, he hurriedly said, "It must be!" Brother Shuliang come in and sit down for a while. ”

Han Shuliang waved his hand: "No, I still have to tell other families to go, pomegranates go first." ”

"Oh, let's go, there are a lot of people in the village!" Shen Shiliu said, if people have something to do, they won't stay.

Han Shuliang stopped talking before leaving, but Shen Shiliu saw that there should be something, so he asked, "Brother Shuliang, is there something?" ”

Han Shuliang finally said: "It's okay, I'll leave first, it's cold outside, you can go back quickly." With that, he left first.

Shen Shiliu shrugged, and people didn't say it.

Han Shuliang, who left first, actually didn't know how to speak, he was the eldest son in the family, but Han Meili got married before him, and his mother Qian was not very happy. His mother asked him not to get too close to the Shen family before, because she was afraid that the Shen family would pay attention, and finally let him go into trouble.

Although the Qian family is grateful to the Shen family in his heart, in the end, his son is pro!

Shen Shu on the other end had already arrived at Hong's house, and the three future brothers-in-law saw Shen Shu arrive, and they all came out to greet him.

"You're here." Hong Xiuhua said with a smile, her face was a little crimson, and she was very shy.

"Well, let's take a look at Uncle Hong." Shen Shu said with a smile, took out a large pile of sugar from his arms and gave it to the three brothers-in-law.

Hong Dadi was wholeheartedly satisfied with this son-in-law, and quickly took Shen Shu's hand and went into the house.

"Look at you kid, just come, and take all these more expenses!" Hong Dadi said.

Shen Shu smiled: "Uncle Hong is too polite, I can't lack courtesy!" ”
