She relied on her clever words and persuasion to stay at matchmaker Zhen's house for several more days, and finally made a marriage arrangement with the only son of the Wei family in Kuan Lane.

July 1st.

Xiaoqing married from matchmaker Zhen's husband's family.

There is only one street separating the two alleys.

It's just a few dozen steps away.

The Wei family gave three taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and Xiao Qing took out one tael from it, plus the one tael of favors originally promised to Matchmaker Zhen, and put them all together, and gave a total of two taels of silver to Matchmaker Zhen before leaving, as a thank you fee. It can be regarded as hush money, after all, matchmaker Zhen pretended to be her natal family, and even used her own money to pull a piece of cloth for her as a dowry.

"Tsk, just give me two taels. It's really a waste of my money. I let her, an orphan, borrow our family's name to get married, and let her live in our house for so long and eat and drink for free. It's really a waste of money. It's really a waste of money." Yes, bah!"

After the person who picked up the bride left, matchmaker Zhen looked at the two taels of silver in her hand and became very angry.

That piece of cloth cost her four ounces of money, and she thought she could get all the betrothal gifts.

Just two taels if you dare to love me.

Just sending away beggars.

So she worked hard for a long time and earned an extra six pounds. What was she trying to do?

"Mom, didn't Miss Xiaoqing give you money? She didn't eat and drink for free." Da Zhuang defended Xiao Qing. Now it's good. Matchmaker Zhen is even more angry, but she only has one son, so it's not good. Those who scolded him could only forcefully close the door to show their dissatisfaction.

Da Zhuang was a straight man, so he went straight back to the house when the door was closed, without even coaxing his mother.

Matchmaker Zhen was so angry that she sat in the yard and cursed.

Xiaoqing didn't know.

She has arrived at Wei's house.

The man who married her today was named Wei Dachuan.

He is the only son of the Wei family, 28 years old.

Wei Dachuan's first daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and she gave birth to four daughters in total. The eldest daughter is thirteen this year, the second daughter is twelve, the third daughter is eleven, and the youngest daughter is ten years old. Because it was the second marriage, the Wei family did not hold a banquet. He just took a piece of red cloth and asked Xiaoqing to cover it, and then she got married.

Didn't even worship.

Even though the marriage was too simple, Xiaoqing was still very satisfied.

Because the Wei Dachuan family is the richest among the people she has met these days. As soon as you enter the Wei family's house, there are left and right side rooms outside the main house, a total of nine rooms.

It is much larger than the small matchmaker-in-law's house.

Moreover, the Wei family also has a small shop at the gate of the city, which sells sugar cakes. I heard that they can sell them for two taels of silver a day.

Although she is not as rich as the Bai family, Xiaoqing is already at a high level for a maid to marry into such a family.

The most important thing is that although Wei Dachuan is a widower, he has no son.

As long as she marries into the Wei family and gives birth to a son, she can secure her position.

At this moment, Xiaoqing was sitting on the wedding bed.

She felt a little nervous and secretly happy.

Before she left her "parent's house" in the morning, Matchmaker Zhen told her that there was a rule in Shuangqiao Town, which was to have a wife. Every family was different. Some needed to sit on the marriage bed for a whole day, and some needed to sit on the marriage bed for a whole day. They will kneel in the ancestral hall for a day.

If you can't stand it during this period, you will be sent back to your parents' home and the engagement will be annulled.

However, it is difficult for a woman whose engagement has been broken off to get married. In the end, she can only twist her hair and become a girl, or hang her on a tree with a hemp rope to preserve the reputation of her mother's family.

Along the way, Xiao Qing felt uneasy. She felt that the Wei family had some money and might have more rules.

Maybe I'll let her kneel for a day.

Unexpectedly, it was just sitting.

It seems that the Wei family is really a good home.

Xiao Qing was once again glad that she did not agree to take the contraceptive pill, and even more glad that she was not as stupid as Xiao Su and worked as a maid.

Holding hope for the future.

Xiao Qing sat for a whole day, until the white sky gradually darkened, was covered with rays of rays, and was covered by a dark quilt. The light in the room became darker and darker, until he could not see his fingers clearly.

Xiao Qing's bun was messed up, and pieces of hair were scattered.

There was fine sweat on her forehead, and her eyelids were so sleepy that they were twitching.

While the door was closed, she clenched her right hand into a fist and lightly beat her calf.

After sitting for so long, the lower legs were swollen and numb many times.

She hadn't eaten a grain of rice or drank a drop of water since morning.

The hungry ones grumbled loudly, making a sound like thunder.

But from the moment he entered the house, the door never opened again.

Xiaoqing couldn't sit still. She could vaguely smell the fragrance of rice. Could it be that the Wei family was having dinner and didn't call her?

Or have you forgotten her?

Xiaoqing stretched her neck and tried to look out through the gap in the window, but she couldn't see anything. The window was closed tightly, so she slowly raised her buttocks. For the first time since she was sitting on the bed, Xiaoqing Go to the ground.

Due to maintaining the same movement for a long time, her legs failed to react, and they softened, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, she was quick and grabbed the edge of the bed, which saved her from being thrown to pieces.

Xiaoqing's two thin eyebrows were wrinkled in pain, and her legs seemed to be filled with lead.

"Squeak-"

Just as she was about to hold the table and walk to the window to take a sneak peek, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Xiaoqing quickly sat down, fearing that someone would find her getting up from the bed.

"Come out, the lady is calling you."

She was a maid from the Wei family, named Xiaochun. She was a bit ugly and looked several years older than her.

There are only two servants in the Wei family, a maid and a mother-in-law.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Xiao Qing responded quickly.

She stood up again, this time better than before, her legs were not so weak, and she moved slowly, like a baby who had just learned to walk.

The wedding room between her and Wei Dachuan was in the middle of the left room.

The place where the Wei family eats is in the main room of the main house.

Compared to the dim side room, the main room was particularly bright with three candles lit.

The dazzling candlelight made Xiaoqing's eyes sore that she wanted to cry.

She could only half-squint.

This makes it feel better.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come over here and serve the dishes." The old woman sitting on the right said to Xiao Qing with a serious face.

This person is her mother-in-law, Mrs. He.

"Yes, mother."

Xiaoqing walked over obediently, picked up the public chopsticks, and helped her pick up the food.

After all, she had been a maid.

With just one look from He, she knew which dish to order.

There were only three people sitting at the table, Wei Dachuan and his parents.

Wei Dachuan's four daughters were not allowed to go to the table and could only eat at the low table on the side. There was only one meat, one vegetable and one soup on the table.

On the big table were three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, one sweet soup, and one clear soup.

The square table has four corners, and Xiao Qing feels that the remaining side belongs to her in the future.

Just as he was fantasizing, He coughed heavily.

"Cough-cough-"

"Why are you in such a daze? You are picking up food for Dachuan and your father. Do you still want me to teach you these rules? As a new daughter-in-law, it is not just about serving food. From tomorrow on, you will wake up earlier than me and come to my room every day. Please say hello, wait for me to wash up, and those girls, although they are losers, they are my granddaughters after all. You are not allowed to bully them. If you let me know that you are doing evil because of your identity as stepmother, I will let Dachuan divorce you. "
