Chapter 320: A Widow Can't Be a Wife
After a long time of delay, there are still many things to be done, and after eating, she went to the nearby mountains to see, this day the leaves of the trees are crisp, not to mention the wild flowers, it is really right to rely on God to eat.
As we descended, it was getting dark, and only the sunset was set in the distance.
On weekdays, he is used to having Qin An here, and this person still misses him a little.
Thinking of this, she walked a little faster, and before she could take a few steps, she heard the man's voice, "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law." ”
The rough voice startled the grasshoppers in the bushes, and several leaped.
Su Yan naturally heard the voice of her own man, and immediately responded happily: "I'm here." ”
After a while, a tall black shadow appeared in front of her eyes, "You asked for leave from your master again?" ”
"No, I'll be back after finishing my schoolwork early." After Qin An finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and motioned for her to put on her back.
The broad shoulders are like fire and steady, Su Yan is a little tired after walking for a day, leaning on his shoulder, and said a little tired: "The shop bought dead pork, and I opened the shopkeeper." ”
"I have to be in town if I don't get a shopkeeper."
The family's current money is enough to feed the family for a lifetime, but she wants more than that.
She can't have power, she can only have money.
At least reduce the pressure on Qin An a little.
He didn't say anything, not because he wasn't stressed, but because he didn't want her to be tired.
They are not in a good situation now, otherwise life would be very good now.
After walking a few steps, Qin An said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, take a break when you are tired, don't worry about it, I will be in front of you if there is something." ”
"We'll all be fine, and when the matter is resolved, we'll have a girl, okay?" Su Yan really wants to have one more child, if it weren't for the current situation, she would want to have it now.
Qin An didn't answer, Su Yan leaned over to kiss him, and said with a smile: "Let's just say it." ”
Qin An smiled helplessly, tilted his head slightly, his eyes reflected the woman's side face, and his eyebrows and eyes couldn't stop the tiredness of hard work.
I felt a little uncomfortable.
Daughter-in-law, wait a few more years, and he will let many people serve her and stop worrying about these things.
"I'll let Sister Cui come back."
"Sister Cui will lead the group, I don't need anyone here, I'll take them back when you let them go, just go back to the village for a while."
……
Qin family yard
Qin An cleaned inside and out, and then inspected the courtyard door, and on the other side, Su Yan came over with the dishes, "It's time to eat, Xianggong, light the lantern in the courtyard." ”
"Okay." Qin An took the fire fold and set up a stool to light the lantern, and the dim courtyard suddenly lit up, and the weeds emerging from the ground were clearly visible.
The two of them didn't have time to worry about this, so they sat at the wooden table in the courtyard and ate.
"I'll go back when you're done eating, Tuan Tuan wants you at night."
"Okay."
The two of them spoke without a word, filled with warmth.
After making sure that she closed the door, Qin An hurried to the county seat, and for several days, Su Yan stayed in the shop.
I hired a shopkeeper, but I wasn't very familiar with it.
The dog came to talk to her when he was fine, and he brought pastries over, and she said, "Your family asked my eldest brother to bring it back, saying that they will come back tonight." ”
Su Yan took a stool for her to sit on, "Brother Jiang is back?" ”
"Otherwise, I won't be able to get out, and now I've figured it out, why should I take my daughter alone."
The dog still can't cross the knot in her heart, and she won't be reconciled, but she doesn't feel very comfortable.
Su Yan nodded in agreement, the men here don't take care of children much, they have to work, and the women's families don't do less.
Like a dog, in the field, at home, as a helper, with children, a little work alone.
"Did someone send flowers today?"
"Yes, but not much."
"Okay, we'll have dinner later."
"Cheng, I'm not polite to you."
Goudan glanced at her, a little eager to say something, Su Yan thought it was something difficult at her family, "Eldest sister has something to say directly, I can help." ”
"It's not my family's business, it's your business, I don't know how to tell you."
The dog and her mother pulled the stool and approached her, and after being entangled for a while, she still said: "I heard that a widow can't be a wife, and it was said by the yamen that a widow can marry, but she can't be a wife." ”
Hearing this, Su Yan was slightly stunned, and said half-loudly, "When did you hear about it?" ”
"Yesterday, Widow Jiang and his good friend went to the mayor's house to get a marriage certificate, but the mayor said that he couldn't do it, so he could only follow the man without a name or a share."
If you can't get a marriage certificate and can't get into the account of a man's family, it's like having no name and no share.
Su Yan's expression didn't see anything, "It's okay." ”
Thinking that she hadn't understood the stakes yet, the dog and his mother whispered anxiously: "It's not that I don't want you to be good, if your marriage letter with Qin An doesn't count, what will you do?" I don't know how many people will be pointing at me, besides, if your family is successful, someone will definitely say kiss to him. ”
"When you become an official, several daughters-in-law are normal, if you are his wife, you are not afraid of those people."
Su Yan understood the truth she said, and said with a smile: "Even if you are a wife, you can divorce if you want to, it's nothing." ”
Seeing that her heart was so big, the mother didn't know what to say, and finally sighed: "God just doesn't open his eyes." ”
It's so unfortunate that these two people have survived a hard life, and this incident happened again, if it fell on her, it is estimated that they would want to die.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "I just heard about it, don't think about it." ”
"Don't worry, you won't die." Su Yan half-jokingly.
The bad thing is not only this, she is too lazy to hurry, and she can't come in a hurry, if it is really the government, she can't resist.
Just live a good life.
Late at night, there was a knock at the courtyard door, and Su Yan in the courtyard got up and said, "Xianggong? ”
"It's me." Qin An's voice came from outside the door.
The next moment, the far door opened, Qin An looked at the daughter-in-law in front of him, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her, "Daughter-in-law, I miss you." ”
There will be Cuilan and them, Su Yan is a little thin-skinned, so she pretended to change the topic calmly, "Tuan Tuan they slept?" ”
"Both slept."
"Let's take it inside."
After letting the children sleep in bed, the two returned to their own room.
As soon as he entered the door, Qin An smelled the fragrance of his daughter-in-law, the clean fragrance, there was no daughter-in-law at home these days, and there was always something in the house no matter how to clean it up.
Seeing him standing still, Su Yan said with a smile: "Can't recognize your own room?" ”
The corners of the man's mouth rose, and the next moment he picked her up, put her on the table, looked at her slightly, and said hoarsely: "Do you miss me?" ”
"Yes." Su Yan hugged his neck, and her heart was much more steady.
What the mother said, she was more or less uneasy in her heart, not because she was afraid that Qin An would not want her.
It's an indescribable uneasiness.
As soon as these words came out, someone couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged her often to bed, under the curtains, the figure was slender.
Not surprisingly, Su Yan woke up after three poles in the day, and when she came out of the house, she saw a man pulling grass in the yard, and there were a lot of piles on the stone road.
These days are busy, Su Yan doesn't have much time to take care of these things at home, and sure enough, there is a man in the family who wants to be better.
"Have you eaten?"
"Eat, the food is warm in the pot."
Qin An dropped the dry grass in his hand, patted the mud on his hands, wiped it on his body twice, walked over and said, "Sit down, I'll comb your hair." ”
Su Yan swept around the yard, sat on the threshold and said, "Sister Cui, are they out?" ”
"Well, Tuan Tuan is noisy all morning."
Qin An took a wooden comb from the windowsill of the hall, and then walked over to comb his hair skillfully.
Su Yan's eyes were slightly raised, and the outline of the man's chin was clearly visible, "What do you have to prepare for the college exam?" ”
"Don't worry about it."
Qin An wanted her to worry about it, and after getting her hair done, she went to the kitchen to come out with food.
"Eat less capers."
After saying that, he went to the yard to pull grass again, and asked while pulling, "What's going on with the shop?" ”
"It's almost, but the new shopkeeper is not very familiar, and he used to sell cloth." Su Yan held the bowl and stood under the eaves to talk to him.
"Okay, then I'll go to the village in the afternoon to clean up the yard, and when the things in the town are done, I'll go back to the village for a while."
Speaking of this, Qin An looked up at the sky, there was no sign of rain at all on this day, and the stuffy children and women in the house couldn't stand it.
There is also a little cool breeze in the village at night.
"Don't go back today, I'll go back with you tomorrow morning to clean up, and it's cool in the morning."
"Okay."
The dog and his mother heard that they were going back to the village, and she wanted to go back with them, but the weather was hot, and the town couldn't stay, just like a fire.
No matter how bad the village is, you can still run into the mountains and sit.
After going home and discussing with Jiang Caifu, he ran over and told them that he wanted to go back together.
When the Jiang family went back, Qin An was a little relieved, he would go to Fucheng for a few days in a few days, although his daughter-in-law was not afraid of the people in the village, it was better for someone to watch it.
The two families discussed going back to clean up at night, otherwise they would sweat in the heat during the day, and while the group was asleep, the four of them went back in the carriage.
Su Yan sat in front of the carriage with Qin An, which would be a little cool, and she said softly: "The village is much cooler." ”
"Well, there's a mountain forest nearby." Qin An glanced at her.
As soon as they reached the village, the carriage slowed down and finally stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
The Jiang family said a word and went back to their house to clean up.
Qin An unloaded the carriage and wanted to let the horse rest for a while, Su Yan came over and touched the key on his waist, "Where is it?" ”
"Left." Qin An stood up straight and let her take it.
Su Yan touched his chest and released a lot of food, took out the key and said with a smile: "I just said that you look so bulging on your chest, don't pretend to be like this when you come out in the future, you are studying now, and it is not good to be seen." ”
Scholars pay the most attention to manners, although she doesn't like them very much, but she can't change their rules.
Qin An habitually put things like this, easy to bring and easy to take, and said in a low voice: "If you see it, you see it." ”
"Would you like to eat something?"
"I ate two bowls of rice in the evening." Su Yan opened the door and walked in, the lantern in her hand slightly raised.
The yard is quite clean, it should be the eldest brother of the Wang family who helped clean it.
She turned her head and said, "You don't need to clean it, just bring some quilts when the time comes." ”
Qin An came in after setting up the horse, looking at the home he had carefully built with his daughter-in-law, and felt a little helpless.
If only I had been living in the village with my daughter-in-law.
He hunted to support his family, and his daughter-in-law was at home waiting for him to return.
Su Yan stretched out her hand to hold his arm, "In the future, we will find a small village to live." ”
"Okay."
Qin An clenched her hand in response, although there was no choice in the day, neither of them wanted to give up.
It's going to be fine.
After cleaning inside and out, the sky outside was already slightly bright, and some people in the village began to carry hoes to work in the fields.
Human voices, dog barking, rooster crowing.
The gate of the Qin family was open, and the people in the village couldn't help but come over to take a look, and after a glance, they went to work in the fields.
If you can't finish it, you have to do it in the afternoon.
In the kitchen, Su Yan went to the field with Qin An's cakes and cooked two bowls of green vegetable cake soup, which didn't taste good, but it could fill her stomach.
The two sat on the threshold, Su Yan took a sip, looked at the side, and said with a smile: "Sitting on the threshold, I can always think about when I first came." ”
"Avoiding me is the same as avoiding anything."
Seeing his daughter-in-law take it out again, Qin An laughed and explained in a low voice, "I haven't been with a woman. ”
Su Yan naturally knew, but she just sighed a little, the two of them, who obviously didn't have anything to do with each other, are now living a good life together.
"The yard is so big, I'm afraid Tuan Tuan likes it."
Qin An glanced at the courtyard, "Later, I will have people cover the courtyard with tiles and lay straw mats on the ground." ”
"Okay."
Su Yan didn't say anything after she said it, the two of them got busy, and they didn't stop until the afternoon, and the people who made the tiles wanted to build it at night, so Qin An gave them the key.
When I returned to the town, I heard a deafening cry, which was louder and louder, Su Yan hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran in, "Mother is back, come, mother hug." ”
"Why are you crying like a little flower, my brother coaxed you and you still cry."
As soon as the child arrived in her arms, she didn't cry much, Cuilan wiped her sweat and explained: "It's been good, just now a child passed by and called his mother, and he suddenly cried after watching it for a while." ”
"I haven't seen you much in the past few days, I think about it."
Su Yan didn't see him for a few days, he also thought about it, hugged and kissed him twice, and Yuguang caught a glimpse of Erdan looking at her beside her, she hugged Tuan Tuan and bent down to kiss him.
Suddenly, Erdan's whole face flushed, and his eyes revealed joy.
"Mother, Daddy." After saying that, he turned around and ran, and after a while, he scooped a ladle of water out and handed it to them to drink.
Qin An took it and fed it to Su Yan's mouth, and when she drank it, he drank the rest of the medicine, and then handed it to Erdan.
Erdan's happy "Oooo
Zhang Xiu said beside him: "Master, the mayor came just now, let you go, and said that there was something." ”
Hearing this, Su Yan glanced at Qin An, and probably knew what it was for.
Qin An let out a "hmm", stood for a while and went to the mayor's house, there were more than a dozen men in the courtyard.
It's going to wait.
After a quarter of an hour or two, the mayor of the town came out and said, "You should have heard that you are not allowed to marry a widow now, and the marriage contract is burned at home, and you can live together if you want to, but you can do it." ”
"It's not easy for a widow to send it away or give some money to live in."
Qin An's expression changed, and the green tendons in his arms were gradually exposed, and then he heard the mayor say again: "Don't make trouble, you can solve it well." ”
"The yamen said that they would give the widow 300 wen a month, and if they make trouble, you can say it, this is much better than work."
As soon as the words fell, he saw the tall man turn around and leave, and he didn't dare to say anything.
He can be regarded as having reached the affairs of the yamen, and as for whether he listens to it or not, it is his own business.
