Chapter 108: I'm Afraid of the Future......
As soon as the two sat down, Shen Shimei poured tea for Du Xuanmo and said, "If you eat cold at night, don't eat hot food after that, so as not to irritate your stomach." β
Du Xuanmo nodded, the herbal tea in his hand had the aroma of medicine, and then said, "You will be in time for the twenty-third of this month, and I will come when the time comes." β
Shen Shiliu forgot his birthday, mainly there are customs here, children are only birthdays, they are all older, I don't want Du Xuanmo to know!
When he was engaged, he had seen Shen Pomegranate's birthday, and he kept remembering it.
"So busy, can you come over?" Shen Shiliu said, the woman and the ceremony
"It's okay, now the yamen is slowly idle, even if it's busy, it has to wait for news from the other side of Kyoto." He has already written a secret letter to the Xiangye in Kyoto about the idea that Shen Shiliu said is like a rich squire's levy to calculate interest, and whether it can be done depends on those big people in Kyoto.
Shen Shiliu nodded: "That's okay, just watch me wear the hairpin you gave me." β
With a faint smile on Du Xuanmo's face, Shen Shimei will soon be a big girl.
"If I go somewhere else in the future, we'll be separated again." Du Xuanmo said that Shen Shiliu came to Fengyang County for him, but unfortunately he estimated that he would not stay long in Fengyang County.
Shen Shiliu was speechless: "Look down on me, aren't you?" Now that I have experience, it is easy to open a store next time! She pondered that if she followed Du Xuanmo's southeast, northwest and northwest, she might be able to make a "national chain" in the end! She also feels what it feels like to be the chairman!
Hearing Shen Shiliu say this, Du Xuanmo smiled: "When you and I get married, we don't have to work so hard." β
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "It's not hard for anyone to force me now, now everything is stable at home, and there is no problem with my parents to support the elderly, I just can't be idle, even if I get married in the future, I still have to have a career." Unless you insist that I have a husband and children at home, I think women should be locked up at home! β
Du Xuanmo didn't think about it like this, and said: "You can do whatever you want, I didn't want to marry you just because I asked you to wash my clothes and cook for me." In her eyes, the busy Shen Pomegranate is full of vitality all the time, as long as he looks at Shen Shimei's laughter every day, he feels that he is also full of energy.
Shen Shiliu is still quite satisfied in her heart, in this world where women's status is not as good as men's, Du Xuanmo is willing to understand her and treat men and women fairly, she feels very lucky. Even in modern times, when someone gets married, a man makes a woman a housewife at home, and a woman has to give up her career. When he met a reasonable person like Du Xuanmo, Shen Shiliu felt that he had picked up a treasure.
The moonlight slowly came up, and it was getting darker and darker outside, and Du Xuanmo had to go home. As soon as Du Xuanmo left on his front foot, Zheng coughed lightly behind the curtain, startling Shen Shimei!
"Mother?" Shen Shiliu saw that it was Zheng coming from behind, so he patted his chest: "Scared me to death, mother, when did you come?" Why didn't I hear any footsteps? β
Zheng walked over and said proudly, "If I can let you hear the movement, how stupid would you be?!" β
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "How long has it been behind?" Was it eavesdropping? β
Zheng raised his eyebrows: "What kind of eavesdropping is this?" I have to take care of my daughter's affairs! β
Shen Shiliu pondered what "personal privacy" and Zheng talked about, and it is estimated that Zheng would not understand, so he said: "The two of us just chatted for a day, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, how can people say that he is also a scholar, and the saint in his heart will not allow him to do this!" β
Zheng is relieved of this, Du Xuanmo is a reliable person and will not do anything ridiculous, she said that she was eavesdropping, but in fact, it was not all for gossip.
"My mother is not too careful, I just want to see how the relationship between the two of you is, and my mother naturally hopes that my daughter can be free after marrying!" Zheng also heard what Du Xuanmo said just now, and she was also very spoiled by Shen Shimei, and she, as a mother-in-law, was actually happy for Shen Shimei!
Shen Shiliu smiled, tilted his head and leaned on Zheng's shoulder, and was held in the crook of Zheng's arm.
"Mother, don't worry, even if I get married, I am still my mother's daughter, and if I save enough money in the future, I will buy a house for my mother next to the exclusive, and ensure that my mother can see me at any time if she wants to see me in the future!"
Zheng laughed directly: "You and your father are so inseparable from you?" If the girl is married, if she is still chasing after the ends of the earth, wouldn't it be a joke! "Their thinking is still conservative, now Shen Shu has just gotten married and has no children, and when Shen Shu gives birth to a baby, the two of them will also go over to hold their grandchildren!
Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "Jokes are jokes, anyway, I can't bear my father!" "People have feelings, from the beginning to this pair of parents from strangers to today's dependence, Shen Shiliu is reluctant to leave his parents.
Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "My father and mother are reluctant to give up their daughter, but my daughter is married and has a good life, and my father and mother are also happy." "Sooner or later, they will get married, and they are already content to find a good son-in-law.
As the days passed, Shen Pomegranate's ceremony soon arrived, and for this ceremony, the Shen family deliberately closed the restaurant for a day.
It was originally a ritual only for aristocratic women, but as it spread, ordinary women also followed, but the process was not so complicated and the time was not long.
Zheng went to the neighbor next to him to find a beautiful woman at home to comb her hair, just hoping that Shen Pomegranate could live a harmonious and beautiful life in the future.
Seeing that the hairpin he gave was worn on his head by Shen Pomegranate, Du Xuanmo's eyes also smiled like a crescent moon, and Du Niangzi, who came with him, saw that it was rare for her son to smile like this, so she laughed along.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Shen Shiliu hurriedly sat everyone down, and she prepared a banquet. For the convenience of female guests, there is a table for men and women.
"Sister-in-law Huang's craftsmanship is really good, if I can, I want to let Sister-in-law Huang comb my pomegranate hair on the day of marriage in the future!" Zheng said that the invited sister-in-law Huang's parents and in-laws, and there are many sons and daughters below, which is really a suitable candidate.
Sister-in-law Huang didn't shirk it, and said: "Cheng, I still like to participate in happy events like getting married!" "Everybody is happy to be happy
Shen Shimei was eating here, and his eyes were fragrant Du Xuanmo's side, for her sake of courtesy, he also deliberately took a day off at the yamen, and he attached great importance to it, but unfortunately there were too many people, and she couldn't go directly to sit at a table with Du Xuanmo.
Father Shen saw the opportunity today, so he wanted to try Du Xuanmo's drinking, and gave Zheng Erzhu a look, and Zheng Erzhu would understand.
There are many people in the village who do this, and they all say that wine is like character, and if you get drunk and look at the reaction, you can see the most essential thing about this person.
"Xuanmo, it's rare that you're not busy today, but you have to drink two glasses!" Zheng Erzhu poured wine for Du Xuanmo, and even the wine cup was replaced with a small tea bowl, and one or two wines went down in a glass.
Du Xuanmo said with a wry smile: "When it comes to drinking, I really ......" Unfortunately, before the words were finished, Father Shen also looked over, and Du Xuanmo could only hold the "tea bowl" to give Father Shen a cup.
Father Shen and Zheng Erzhu found various reasons to let Du Xuanmo drink, and when Shen Pomegranate saw it, he naturally wanted to stop it.
"Dad, Brother Erzhu, don't bully people just because he is a scholar!" Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo's face as harmless to humans and animals, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a wine Mengzi, how could he stand it if he poured wine like this?
Du Xuanmo smiled, but Father Shen asked the Zheng family to pull Shen Pomegranate away.
"We men can't look at women's faces when they drink!" Father Shen said that he filled Du Xuanmo again.
Zheng Erzhu drank a few glasses of wine, his face turned red, and he pulled Du Xuanmo to hook his shoulders and said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't say you, why can't scholars drink so much?" After saying that, he planted himself directly and lay down under the table.
Shen Shiliu looked at it here, did Zheng Erzhu end the battle just now?
Father Shen and Du Xuanmo carried Zheng Erzhu back to the room, and continued to drink when he came back.
"My pomegranate has a hard life!" Father Shen said from the birth of Shen Pomegranate, to the fact that he almost didn't starve to death and ate the wrong thing and turned into a ball of meat, and now he has opened a small shop from scratch.
Zheng looked at it with a headache, and said that Du Xuanmo was drunk with a clichΓ©, but this hasn't come out yet, and you, the father, have all been recruited!
Shen Shiliu looked happy, and then looked at Du Xuanmo, except for his slightly drunken face, the whole person was still very sober, she was surprised that this Du Xuanmo could drink so much! Practiced?
Du Xuanmo didn't practice, but he was born with alcohol. At the beginning, I became famous in Kyoto City, and I went to a lot of entertainment, but at that time I was a little worried that I couldn't drink enough, but later I found that my alcohol consumption was not ordinary, but it was very good!
The table of the man with a meal of wine was quickly defeated, and Du Xuanmo sat at a table by himself and ate two mouthfuls of food at random, and secretly glared at Shen Shimei.
"Mother, I'm full, I want to digest and digest food!" Shen Shiliu received Du Xuanmo's signal, and then pulled Du Xuanmo out first.
Zheng snorted: "This girl, if you want to go out to play, just say it, what can I do?" "It's rare to have free today, and she is also willing to watch Shen Pomegranate go out to let off steam.
Sister-in-law Huang pulled Zheng to sit down and said, "Pomegranate is really a good couple, after so many days, we didn't even know that Pomegranate's fiancΓ©e was Lord Du of Yamen!" β
"Pomegranate doesn't let me say, we just came here and don't know each other, so we want to keep a low profile." Zheng said.
Sister-in-law Huang nodded when she heard this, and then said: "This Lord Du is really a talent, I can see that a woman will definitely have an unlimited future in the future, but I am afraid of ......."
"Afraid? What are you afraid of? Zheng asked.
Sister-in-law Huang hesitated: "Big sister, don't think I don't like what I say, but men only have those few things, even if Feihuang Tengda doesn't abandon the chaff in the future, I'm afraid that I will marry a concubine!" β
