Back in her room, Xiao Wan saw a red and purple face in the mirror, splashed with cold water in the basin, but felt even hotter.

She pinched her arm hard, almost pinching out the big black green, and the pain made her tremble, so that she dared to be sure that she was not dreaming, and dared to believe that she was alive.

It must have been a mistake and accidentally turned her into a good life.

Xiaowan is happy, the whole person is like a blooming flower, and whoever sees her after that can feel the sunshine all over her body. She helped with the work diligently and quickly, and the work in the hands of Aunt Zhang and Su Su was all done by herself.

Since they are like-minded, the two of them will inevitably look at each other, but now Ling Chaofeng can only pretend to be Xiaowan in his eyes, and he doesn't look at the account books, and he doesn't care about business, as long as Xiaowan appears, his eyes will chase her.

Within two or three days, everyone could see that after lunch that day, it was rare for Su Su not to have a milk child, Daqing enthusiastically gave up his position, so that Xiaowan and Su Su could sit together, but they were blamed by their own mother: "Are you stupid?" ”

Daqing scratched his head in a daze, and was dragged hard by Su Su to sit down.

A table of eight immortals, the big Uncle Biao occupies one side alone, Aunt Zhang sits on one side with Pei'er, Su Su and his wife sit side by side, and the rest of the position is the shopkeeper and Xiaowan.

Xiao Wan was feeling embarrassed, but Ling Chaofeng actually took her hand in front of everyone, and said gently: "Sit down and eat, don't be busy." ”

Xiaowan was very ashamed, lowered her head and put rice in her mouth, Aunt Zhang deliberately said: "Ah, in our store, isn't it time for Zhang Luo to do a happy event." ”

She choked with fright, turned her back and coughed desperately.

Ling Chaofeng gently patted her back, with a smile on his face, and when Xiaowan calmed down, he hugged her in his arms and said to his family: "Then Zhang Luo, auntie, ask me a matchmaker first." ”

Xiaowan lowered her head deeply, and Pei'er asked Aunt Zhang delicately: "Grandma, is Pei'er going to have a mother?" ”

Aunt Zhang kissed him heavily and said happily, "Yes, there is." ”

On this night, Xiaowan took a bath with Aunt Zhang, she rubbed her aunt's back, and the mother and son talked in their hearts.

Aunt Zhang said: "Although Chaofeng is not my biological son, I have watched him grow up for more than ten years, and I know the roots." He is occasionally rigid and serious, and he does things exactly the same, but he is angry and affectionate, and he knows how to hurt people. He, like Pei'er, is the child who was picked up by the shopkeeper in the first generation, and now he has picked up Pei'er and returned home, which can be regarded as a inheritance. ”

Xiaowan was surprised: "Shopkeeper Ling is also an outcast? ”

Aunt Zhang bowed: "Yes, father and son are both discarded babies, but you see, they look alike, don't they?" Someone outside said that Pei'er was Chaofeng's illegitimate son, and we often joked that it was true, but the father and son looked very similar. ”

"It's like, eyes and nose, it's exactly the same." Xiaowan smiled.

"Late." Aunt Zhang said earnestly, "Chaofeng is a good man, he will definitely love you, can you stay in peace and be a daughter-in-law to our family?" ”

Obviously, Xiaowan was in a hurry to marry here, but they kept her in turn, how could Mu Xiaowan be able to do it, or did she save all her life's blessings here.

"Auntie, I am willing in my heart, but my stepmother ......" Xiaowan said ashamedly and inferiorly, "She is a very powerful person, I am afraid that she will cause you trouble." ”

"What's powerful, he must be a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard." Aunt Zhang said, "If you get married, you will be the child of our family, what else does she want." If she dares to beat you again, I will tell your uncle to chop off her hand and throw it into the mountains to feed the wild wolves, but I am afraid that the wolves will still be disgusted. ”

"Aunt ......"

"Good boy, you have a fate with Chaofeng, otherwise why wouldn't he pick someone back." Aunt Zhang smiled, "I have made a daughter-in-law for us, and we will only live a good life from now on, and forget all about the past." ”

"Hmm!" Xiaowan agreed, it's good to forget, she can't wait to think about those days of beating and abuse for the rest of her life, since God gave her a good life, she must cherish the blessings.

Early the next morning, a matchmaker came from the town, dressed in colorful clothes and a festive face, with a sharp mouth and a quick brain, and as soon as she entered the door to drink a cup of tea, she figured things out.

After that, he looked at the situation in the inn, as if he was thinking about what price to put for the happy money, Ling Chaofeng generously took out a bag of silver, which was twenty taels.

The matchmaker was stunned, untied the silver and looked at it again, Ling Chaofeng put down another hundred taels of silver and said: "This is a dowry, please send it to Foreman Mu's house in Qingling Village for me, after the wedding, your wedding money is another thirty taels." ”

The matchmaker was so happy that her mouth couldn't close together, and she praised a pair of quasi-newcomers to the sky, so she took the silver, and Uncle Biao drove the car, and took Aunt Zhang and the matchmaker to Qingling Village together.

In Qingling Village, Xu was scolding because Xiaowan was not at home and she had to do all the work by herself, when suddenly a carriage stopped at the door of their house.

You must know that raising horses is only done by wealthy families, although their village is not poor, and no one can afford to raise horses, which naturally attracts people in the village to gather around to watch.

Aunt Zhang didn't want to go into the house to sit, so she asked the matchmaker to talk directly outside, and the matchmaker chattered about the proposal, she turned to the firewood room to take a look, Xiaowan said that she lived in the firewood room at home.

There is not much firewood left in the firewood room, but it is also neatly stacked, it must have been piled up before Xiaowan left home, and Xu's himself was too lazy to pick up firewood and chop firewood, so he only used this point.

Looking inside, everything on the kang is dilapidated, but it is neat and clean, and you can see what kind of character the people who live here are, and the more so, the more distressing it is.

Xu Shi naturally wanted to save face, and ran and said: "What do you see, this is a firewood house, and it doesn't live in people." ”

Aunt Zhang snorted and turned her gaze away, not liking this face at all.

When the matchmaker gave a dowry of 100 taels of silver, the surrounding onlookers became lively.

Although Qingling Village is not poor, there have never been any rich and noble families, even in Baisha Town, I have never heard of a family begging for a daughter-in-law and giving a hundred taels of silver as a dowry.

This time, Xu's is really rich.

The greedy woman, holding the silver at the moment, was stupid, Aunt Zhang, as the elder of the family, said coldly: "We don't want a dowry, and the things at home are not rare, since the child is already with us, he will not come back." On the day of the wedding, I will send you some wine, food and candy, and you can also greet the people in the village, and everything else, naturally we have the final say, and Xiaowan also agreed. ”

"This ......" is a character who has always been spicy and powerful on weekdays, but at this moment she is stammering, one is pressed by money, and the other is Uncle Biao's fierce appearance, her legs and stomach tremble when her eyes are staring.

Aunt Zhang naturally didn't care whether Xu agreed or not, and came to give a dowry, just to make a show, so that everything would be logical, and everything else would not be guilty of discussing with this person.

Surrounded by villagers, they all coveted such a rich dowry, and Xu also wanted to save face, and deliberately said: "Of course, the marriage should be from the mother's house, you see, it is better to send Xiaowan back, I, I will prepare a ...... for her"

Aunt Zhang smiled faintly: "When the child goes to us, there is no good place on his body, and some words are not to leave some room for each other, so there is no need to tear his face, right?" ”

Xu Shi was stunned, took a step back, and watched them brush up their sleeves and go away in a carriage.

The people in the village rushed up, and Xu drove them away with a hundred taels of silver, and when she returned to the house, she pinched her face, she wasn't dreaming.

Only Aunt Wang next door has a better relationship and can enter the door, Xu Shi smiled: "That little mourning star actually brought me wealth." ”

Aunt Wang's eyes were rolling, she was shrewdly calculating in her heart, and said, "It's not that you worked hard to pull her up, so you should be here today." ”

In this way, the marriage between Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng was decided, and they should have gone to the town's yamen to become naturalized, but their county magistrate in Baisha Town was a fool, and he was not in a hurry about it anyway, saying that he was waiting for an auspicious day of the zodiac, and went directly to the prefect of Lizhou Mansion and asked the prefect of Liang to be a witness.

Aunt Zhang said happily: "It's a pity that Ershan can't come back to drink the eldest brother's happy wine, Lian Yi is pregnant, and he can't withstand the bumps in the road so far, even if he can go away on official business." You can't leave Lian Yi alone in the capital. ”

They Zhang Luo wrote a letter to Ershan, to give him good news, at this time in the capital, he had just returned from the Criminal Department, and he was in a hurry to rest at noon, and went home to take a look at Lian Yi.

When the old lady saw that he loved his daughter-in-law like this, exactly the same as his grandfather back then, she naturally liked it more and more, but it was a pity that such a good granddaughter and daughter-in-law couldn't enter the house.

Ershan doesn't care, he is more willing to be Ling Chaofeng's younger brother than a descendant of the Bi family, and even Yisheng's child is naturally surnamed Ling like him.

At present, the doll has not been born yet, he only cherishes Lian Yi, after going out early in the morning, he will not return at night, and now he does not eat at noon, and comes back every day to accompany his wife.

At this time, Lian Yigang vomited for a while, lying on the bed to rest, Ershan gently put her head on her stomach, and she said angrily: "I can't hear anything." ”

Ershan hugged her and asked her if she was still uncomfortable, Lian Yi shook her head: "I'm very happy every day, I didn't expect that so soon, I would be a mother myself, our child." ”

At this time, the next person came to tell her, saying that there was a guest arriving, it was the eldest prince and young lady of Bifu, and Lian Yi asked Ershan to help her up and welcome her out.

Outside the hall, Bi Zhenye and Hanxi stood together, behind them was a maid and servant holding a gift, and when Ershan saw it, he said: "You are so busy, you are doing a big project, why are you here." ”

Bi Zhenye said with a smile: "I know that you come back at noon every day, so I will also take the time to come, otherwise it will always be delayed, and I will not be able to go." One is to congratulate you and Lian Yi, and secondly, grandma lives here, and Hanxi and I should come to ask for peace. ”

As he spoke, he took them into the inner courtyard to see the old lady, Hanxi supported Lian Yi, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, are you in good health?" ”
