Xie Yi and his wife woke up on the morning of the 23rd of the first lunar month and changed into good clothes they only wore on New Year's Day. They just sat and drank tea at home, leaving the business of the butcher stall outside to a few waiters to watch.As for Xie Erniang, she also hid in her boudoir and did not go downstairs, so Xie Sanlang could only run to the next door to find Kecheng to play with.

A few days ago, Shunniang went to the house to move the boxes and cages for the dowry gifts, and they also saw them. Later, they saw that the matchmaker Jiang from the town had gone to the Xi's next door several times, so the two asked their daughter to question her, and asked her what she knew. I don't know when Xi's next door will let Jiang Matchmaker come to Xie's to propose marriage.At first, Xie Erniang was shy and refused to say anything, but later, under Wu's urging, she said that Xi's family would ask Jiang's matchmaker to bring a sticker to Xie's house on the 23rd of the first lunar month to make a decision. Wu was overjoyed to hear that.She told her daughter that after she made up her mind, she should see "Xi Erlang" less, and she wanted her daughter to stay upstairs in the boudoir to embroider more. Although her daughter who is a big wedding dress can't embroider, sweat towels and socks Shoes to do these.When she is married, she has to present the shoes and socks made for her mother-in-law and officials, so that she will appear virtuous and ingenious.

Xie Erniang lowered her head and said in a soft voice that she knew it. It was obvious that she was speaking with a smile. Wu patted her daughter's head and happily went downstairs to tell Xie Yi about it.When Xie Yi heard this, he was even happier than Mrs. Wu, and said: "After all, we didn't plan for nothing, and Xi Erlang next door has finally become our son-in-law."

Mrs. Wu: "Who said it wasn't? Originally, our husband and wife fell in love with him, then our second mother fell in love with her, and finally Xi Erlang also fell in love with our second mother. Since Xi's family wants a matchmaker to come and make a decision Now, we also have to prepare the return gift. I will go to buy the return gift in the next few days, and the dowry list will also be issued. After the order is made, you can go to Bianliang City to buy it. It must be rich and called Erniang. In the past ten or eight years, there was no lack of clothes for the four seasons, and the jewelry head can also match the clothes for the four seasons..."

Xie Yi said hello, and the husband and wife sat down to discuss what kind of gifts and dowry they would buy in return. After discussing it, they wrote it down on paper and went shopping separately.

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Matchmaker Jiang walked up to the door waddlingly, met Xie Yi and his wife, greeted each other, and after sitting down, she took out the Xi's sticker and handed it over, saying that she was the recipient Entrusted by Mrs. Liu from Xi's family next door, she came to the door and made an arrangement for Erlang of Xi's family to propose marriage to Erniang of Xie's family.

Xie Yi took the post and read it, and passed it to Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu read it with a smile, and gave the reply she had written long ago to Matchmaker Jiang, saying that the Xie family had agreed to the marriage.

Matchmaker Jiang smiled and said after reading the reply: "In this way, I will reply to Mrs. Liu and ask Xi's family to deliver the betrothal gift to my door."

Xie Yi and his wife agreed.

Matchmaker Jiang took the reply, stood up, went directly to Xi's next door, and gave the reply to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu read it and said to her, please bring some helpers over here tomorrow to thank Xi's dowry. I also ask Matchmaker Jiang to help me with the home and arranging the wedding banquet. As for the remuneration, I will definitely satisfy her.

"These things are familiar to the old man. Don't worry, Mrs. Liu, just leave it to the old man." Jiang Matchmaker agreed.

Mrs. Liu presided over Shunniang's engagement at home, and Shunniang continued to send off her sons in the city. Her mood was similar to that of my old lady.Mrs. Liu presided over Shunniang's engagement, half happy and half worried, happy that her only daughter was about to get engaged, this lifelong event was settled, no matter how unhappy she was as a mother, she still felt happy.As for worry, it is not because her daughter wants to live with a woman. She has never seen such a thing in half her life. She is afraid that her daughter's identity will be exposed in the future, or Xie Erniang is too young. It's not long, and even before she can stumbling Xie Erniang and deal with her with all possible means, she wants to reconcile with Shunniang herself.If that's the case, Mrs. Liu thinks it would be better. She would like Shunniang to break up with Xie Erniang and get divorced. From now on, she will no longer be foolish about liking women, but live with a man.Only then did the daughter make up her mind, and she thought about these things. Although she felt a little unlucky in her heart, she really disliked her daughter and Xie Erniang living together in the name of husband and wife.

Shunniang in the city is of course happy because she has finally settled on Xie Erniang as his wife. Xie Erniang is her first love in this body, and she really loves her.Worry is naturally related to Song Gui, after all, she didn't see Song Gui yesterday, so she didn't know what he meant.With this feeling in mind, Shunniang and Shitou delivered all the seeds together, and had lunch together. During the lunch, she specially added vegetables and told Shitou that today was a happy day for her to get married. Shitou smiled and said: Congratulate her, and say that there are a few more days of such happy days in a year.

After hearing this, Shun Niang picked up the chopsticks and gave Shi Shi a smack on the head, saying that he didn't have any clues in his mouth, just talking nonsense, and she made up her mind that this kind of thing can happen more, she wished that she only had this once in her life.

Shitou touched his head, stuck out his tongue, repeatedly said that he was wrong, and then said with a playful smile that he had something to give Shunniang as a gift.

Shun Niang ate the food and laughed at him: "You actually gave me a congratulatory gift, it's either nonsense, or the sun came out from the west."

Shi Shi said, "If you don't believe me, here it is."

Saying so, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Shunniang: "Second brother, I went to the Songjiazheng store to deliver the seeds today, and the accountant Tan there gave it to me, saying that this letter was sent by Mrs. Song. Bring it here, let it be yours."

Sister Song Yu's letter?A few days ago, Shun Niang had been looking forward to Sister Song Yu's reply since Shi Shi sent her letter to her, because after seeing her letter, she knew whether the matter of Song Gui's forced marriage had been resolved.

Shunniang snatched the letter and saw that there was nothing written on the cover, so she opened the letter and saw the words "Xi Erru Huan" written on it, and then told Shunniang in the letter that she had already accepted it. Cao Qihong's plan is to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot, buy a boat and take his son Zhou Liang, and go to the south of the Yangtze River with Cao Qihong, planning to play in the south of the Yangtze River for a year and a half before returning to Bianjing.She said that if she left, her elder brother would not come to force Shunniang to marry him because he was afraid that the Han family would blame him for causing Han Sanlang to become a living dead to retaliate against the Song family.She also asked Shunniang to continue to do business well. When she came back from Jiangnan, Shunniang's business was already doing well.As for the congratulations on Shunniang's marriage for a hundred years, she didn't write any words. The only thing she wrote at the end was to tell Shunniang not to work too hard and pay attention to her body.

"Great!" After reading the letter, Shunniang couldn't help but punched the table excitedly.

After reading Sister Song Yu's letter, she finally understood why she went to see Song Gui as promised yesterday, and he didn't come to see her. Presumably he knew that Sister Song Yu had left Bianliang. Son, there is no condition for marriage.No wonder Sister Song Yu said in her letter that this was a bottom-line plan. Thinking of this, Shunniang couldn't help laughing.Just holding the letter in her hand, Shunniang still felt the heavy affection that Sister Song Yu had for her. If she was selfish, then she and Erniang Xie would not be able to get together so smoothly. A rough road.In addition, in order to fulfill herself, she was willing to leave Bianliang and go to the south of the Yangtze River, and the earnest instructions behind the letter made Shunniang full of admiration for Sister Song Yu.

She remembered what she once said to Sister Song Yu, she and she might be the right person, but they didn't meet at the right time.

This sentence, now she and she are absolutely right, but by mistake, they didn't meet at the right time and missed each other.

Shunniang felt a little regretful in her heart, put away the letter, asked the shop assistant to add another dish, and also brought a dime of wine, only poured a little for the stone, and drank non-stop with the wine glass.In the afternoon, she didn't need to go to that teahouse to meet Song Gui anymore, she expected that Song Gui would probably let go of this matter, and she and Xie Erniang would definitely be together smoothly, this is a day worth celebrating.

Going back to Song Gui, he received a letter from the servant of Sister Song Yu's house the next day after Sister Song Yu left. He knew that his sister went to Jiangnan with Cao Qihong, the eldest daughter of the Cao family, and took his nephew Zhou Liang with him.He knew that even if he brought someone to chase him, he would not be able to catch up. The girl did this to take care of that Kijiro, Song Gui couldn't figure out why the girl didn't want to follow his arrangement since she cared so much about that Kijiro.However, although the sister left, although she avoided the matter of letting Xi Erlang marry him, on the other hand, even if the Han family wanted to blame the sister, they could not find her, so there was no way to blame her. The Song family was saved from suffering.If the girl went to Jiangnan for a year or so and came back, and there was no movement in the Han family, then most of the things I was worried about were over.Thinking about it this way, Song Gui felt relieved and didn't bother to see Xi Erlang anymore, which is why Shunniang didn't see Song Gui on the 22nd of the first month.

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Shunniang was purely drunk driving, and drove the bullock cart back to Yangliu Town while feeling slightly drunk.

It was spring, and the afternoon sun warmed her body, and the trees on the side of the road also spewed out some new greenery. Shunniang was completely satisfied.Bianliang City behind her is a prosperous place. She thought that after she got married, she would work harder to make money and give Xie Erniang a good life. She would take her, his wife, sister-in-law, and two nephews and nieces to settle in Bianliang City. Let them also have a place to stay in the bustling land, let them also hold their chests up, have enough food and clothing, and share the prosperity of this prosperous age.

When they arrived in Yangliu Town, Shunniang drove the car into the backyard of Xie's house. When the guys who were busy in the backyard saw him, some of them called her young master directly, and many people congratulated her. Go to Xie's family to make a decision, Xie's family has agreed, which means the marriage is settled.

She cupped her hands and returned the gift with a smile, and Shunniang saw the shy and smiling Xie Erniang coming over. As she walked, she looked around to see if her mother was in the backyard, because her mother had told her, it was decided, and she would It will be rare to see Shun Niang. If there is anything between the two of them, if there is anything between the two families, they will trouble the matchmaker Jiang to convey it.

Although she agreed to her mother, she stood in front of the window of the boudoir and saw Shun Niang driving the ox cart into the yard, so she couldn't help but ran down to see Shun Niang.

Seeing Shunniang blushing and smelling of alcohol rushing towards her face, Erniang Xie pouted and asked Shunniang what she was doing with so much alcohol, and what if she drove the car into a ditch by the side of the road.

Shunniang smiled and said it was okay, she didn't drink much, besides today is a good day, she drank some wine because she was happy.

Xie Erniang didn't listen to her mother and ran down to see Shunniang, because she wanted to know what Song Gui said when Shunniang saw Song Gui today, Song Gui's forced marriage was a concern for Xie Erniang.

Before Xie Erniang could ask, Shunniang had already told her the outcome of what she was worried about, so it was all right, Sister Song Yu had already gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and Song Gui could no longer force herself into marriage.

"That's great! No wonder you came back with a happy face. After receiving such good news, I should have a few drinks!" Xie Erniang said with a smile from ear to ear.

"Second mother! Why did you run down again? Have you forgotten what mother said?" Mrs. Wu came out of the butcher shop in front and entered the yard. When she saw her daughter talking and laughing with Shunniang again from afar, she couldn't help shouting at her. Shout out.

"My mother is here, I'll go first, she said I made a deal with you, I will see you less, this is the rule." Xie Erniang stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly whispered to Shunniang.

"Go, listen to your mother, but if you miss me, you can come to see me secretly." Shun Niang said in a low voice with a smile on her lips.

Xie Erniang nodded, turned around and ran away like a little deer.

When Mrs. Wu saw her, she couldn't help but go over and say that she was already engaged, that she was still so unstable, and so on.

Shunniang returned home, saw the old lady, and asked about Jiang's matchmaker going to Xie's house today to make a decision, Liu took out Xie's reply to Shunniang, and Shunniang took it to her bed. Come on, open it and see.Seeing a long list of dowries on it, I couldn't help but say that Xie Yi and his wife gave Xie Erniang so many dowries.

Because of Liu's illiteracy, Matchmaker Jiang sent her a reply, but she didn't read it. Now that she heard what Shunniang said, she hurriedly asked what was going on, and asked Shunniang to read it to herself.

Shunniang read one by one, such as selling gold accounts, selling gold pillows, gold hairpins and jade bracelets, pomegranate skirts, begonia clothes... and so on. There is no need to buy clothes for eight years, and her parents will buy these dowries for her, at least two to three hundred guan."

After finishing speaking, she didn't hear her mother speak for a long time, and Shun Niang turned to look at her, only to see that she was completely stunned.

Shunniang couldn't help shouting: "Mother!"

Only then did Mrs. Liu come back to her senses, put her hands on her chest and said, "My mother, this Xie family is really rich, no wonder many young people in this town are looking forward to marrying Xie Erniang! With so many dowries, I am afraid that they will marry Xie Erniang. Among the families who marry daughters in this town, they are also the top ones."

Shun Niang hummed, and said: "Probably this is why Mrs. Xie was able to marry such a talented person as Lu Dalang. The Xie family gave Mrs. Xie no less dowry than Erniang Xie. Lu Zhan married Mrs. Xie and came in, and the whole family It’s going to be a good few years.”

Fu looked at Mrs. Liu and joked: "Now you know how powerful I am, and I'm going to marry a God of Wealth. For the dowry worth two or three hundred guan, you won't feel sorry for me any more. More than ten or twenty pennies to marry Xie Erniang and come in."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly laughed and said that Shunniang had misunderstood herself. In fact, she didn't think that spending more than ten or twenty pennies for Shunniang's wedding was a lot of money. I think it's just a little bit more.

Shunniang thought for a while and asked her, where did she hear that many young people in this town were eager to marry Xie Erniang.

Mrs. Liu said: "Matchmaker Jiang told me. She often walks around the street. Many people in the town who are going to marry a wife have mentioned this to her before. She was entrusted by some people, and she also went to Xie's house to ask. However, Xie Yi and his wife only said that Xie Erniang was young and would not make an appointment until she was old. Who would have thought that Xie's family and Xi's family held an engagement banquet later, and she would not accept the entrustment of those people..."

The two mother and daughter were talking, Mrs. Qi came back from Liang's house next door, and when she entered the room, she saw that the curtain on the other side of Shunniang's bed was drawn, Shunniang was lying on the bed, and her mother-in-law was sitting next to her talking, so she hugged her. Huier came over.

"Uncle is back? Did you drink too much?" Mrs. Qi asked Shun Niang when she saw her blushing.

Shunniang told her that she was in a good mood today, so she drank a little more, but she was not drunk.

Speaking of drinking, Mrs. Qi told Shunniang that Liang Sanlang next door, like Shunniang, went out to drink today and came back drunk. He drank much more than Shunniang, and was very drunk.This guy came back drunk and went crazy, crying and making noises, and smashed things.I was gossiping with Liang Erniang at first, but when I saw that he couldn't stay still like that, I came back.

When Mrs. Liu heard the words, she sneered and said, "Liang Sanlang's envious two or three hundred pennies have now entered our Xi's house. It's no wonder they don't make trouble."

"Two or three hundred strings?" Mrs. Qi frowned and looked at Mrs. Liu and asked, she had never read the reply, and she did not know about Xie Erniang's dowry, so she asked this question.

Mrs. Liu told Mrs. Qi the dowry of Xie Erniang that Shunniang had read to herself just now. Although she was old, she remembered the dowry accurately. Impressed.She really understands the peeing nature of her cheap mother. Regarding money and yellow and white things, her memory is even better than that of a young man who has read the dowry list.

After listening to the dowry of Xie Erniang's mother-in-law, Mrs. Qi was shocked, and murmured: "No wonder, I see that Liang Sanlang looks very sad..."

Mrs. Liu was very proud at this time, she praised Shunniang again and again, saying that she was capable, even a man like Liang Sanlang was defeated by her, and she won Xie Erniang's heart, which shows that her daughter is more capable than those men.

"Mother, I love to hear that, and you will always praise me like this in the future, hahahaha!" Shunniang laughed loudly.

Seeing Shunniang laughing, Qi's mother-in-law also laughed, but she couldn't laugh herself.

Although the matter of Shunniang marrying Xie Erniang is already a certainty, when she thought that Xie Erniang brought so much dowry, her mother-in-law Shunniang might have to surround her in the future. Her status might plummet. Not only will she not be happy, but she is also very anxious.

This probably means that everything has two sides, some people gain, some people lose, some people are happy, some people are sad.

In the Liang family next door to Xi’s, Erniang Liang frowned and advised her younger brother who had red eyes from crying or drunk to stop being sad, and asked him to let go of Xie Erniang and find another woman to like him. After all, Xie Erniang had already married Xi Erlang It's official.She also said that the marriage between a man and a woman cannot be forced, and told him not to be persistent.

Liang Sanlang said painfully that he couldn't let it go, and that he couldn't figure out how he was inferior to Xi Erlang next door, why Xie Yi and his wife chose Xi Erlang to be their son-in-law.

Liang Erniang said: "This is not picked by Xie Yi and his wife, but by the second wife of the Xie family. The second wife of the Xie family likes Xi Erlang, and she always has him in her eyes, so naturally she will not put other men in her heart." After all, women are different from men. Once they identify a person, they can't see other people in their eyes, and they can't hold other people in their hearts."

Liang Sanlang thumped the table and said, "But I'm just not reconciled, not reconciled..."

Liang Erniang sighed: "It's only natural for you to think so for a while, but after a long time, you will let go."

"It's been a long time, and I can't let it go!" Liang Sanlang roared with his red eyes open. After speaking, he suddenly stood up and ran out with big strides. He ran away without a trace.

Liang Erniang's old mother, Ke Shi, was guarding the tofu stall outside. When she saw her son run away again, she asked Liang Erniang what to do.

"Let him quarrel, and he will be honest after the quarrel, everyone will be like this." Liang Erniang said so, turned to look at Xi's next door, thinking to herself, fortunately, the person she likes ignores Lu Quan, if Qi's It was also taken away by Lu Quan, I am afraid that I will be as sad as my brother, and I will inevitably make a fuss.

Liang Sanlang ran out in one breath, without direction, and ran indiscriminately. When he stopped, he happened to be at the door of a small foot shop, and he went in directly.Ever since he found out that Xi's family next door invited Matchmaker Jiang to Xie's family to propose marriage, Xie's family agreed, and the two families formally made an agreement, he was furious.He ran out to find a small foot shop, went in and drank a couple of cents of wine and went back to make a fuss, although his sister also persuaded him, but he just couldn't listen.Stuck in my heart, Xie Erniang and Xi Erlang always appear in my mind, and then Xi Erlang looks at himself triumphantly, mockingly saying that he can't do it...

He thought that if he was drunk, he might not be in pain.

"Hey, isn't this Liang Sanlang?" Suddenly someone came over and patted him on the shoulder to greet him.

Liang Sanlang looked back and found that this person knew him. It was Zhao Sanlang, the neighbor next door to the rented yard of Xi's family. Together with Zhao Sanlang, the wife of the family made a rumor about Xie Erniang, in an attempt to destroy Xie Erniang's reputation, and then let Xie Erniang marry Zhao Sanlang.If there is anyone he hates in this town, the first one is Xi Erlang, and the second one is this Zhao Sanlang.

Walking past Xi Erlang face to face, he couldn't speak and say hello, and he looked down on Zhao Sanlang even more, and he didn't even want to take a look at him.

Liang Sanlang was not happy at the moment, Zhao Sanlang patted him on the shoulder to greet him, Liang Sanlang yelled at Zhao Sanlang: "Get out! Get away!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Sanlang was not yelled away by him, but walked to the table with a playful smile, sat down on a stool, and the shop assistant asked for a cup, and took the flagon on the table for himself Poured a glass of wine and drank it.

Seeing this, Liang Sanlang was naturally even angrier, and then unceremoniously stretched out his hand and punched Zhao Sanlang in the face. Zhao Sanlang seemed to have expected that he would strike, he raised his hand and held his fist, and said: " Don't act too hastily? I know you must have heard that Xi Erlang and Xie Erniang were engaged, so you ran out to drink with displeasure, right? Actually, I was also displeased when I heard about it, and I came out to visit this little house. I was drinking in a shop, but I bumped into you unexpectedly, since we share the same illness, why don't we drink together."

"..." Liang Sanlang was speechless after hearing this, but slowly withdrew his punches, then picked up his glass and started drinking again.

Zhao Sanlang smiled slightly, and then said: "That's right, we two are brothers in trouble, when I think of Xie Erniang being coaxed by Xi Erlang, my heart feels like a knife is being cut, I think you hate Xi Erlang as much as I do." ?”

Liang Sanlang only drank his own wine and didn't want to answer Zhao Sanlang's words.

Zhao Sanlang continued to babble: "...I'm not convinced. Xi's family is an outsider and has no foundation in the local area. How could Guo Lizheng help him last time? After thinking about it, he probably followed Qi Dalang's door, and the town opened Qi Dalang from the gambling shop gave Guo Lizheng a lot of money every year. He spoke for Xi Erlang, and Guo Lizheng betrayed him. Originally, I saw Xi Erlang bullying Xie Erniang at the bank of the Liu River that day, but later it was said It's a rumor. It can be seen that Xi Erlang is honest on the outside, but cunning on the inside, so he is not a good person. Just watch, Xie Erniang will regret marrying him in the future..."

"I don't want to hear this, get out of here!" Liang Sanlang became more and more upset when he heard it, and he couldn't help shouting again.

"Wait, I still have something to tell you. Do you want to vent your anger on Xi Erlang, make him unlucky, and make his life difficult?" Zhao Sanlang looked at Liang Sanlang and asked.

Normally, Liang Sanlang would not consider what Zhao Sanlang said. After all, he thought that if Zhao Sanlang had the ability to punish Kieruro, he would not be punished by Guo Lizheng.But at this moment, he was angry, his thoughts were confused, and his strong jealousy towards Kijiro made him lose his mind, so he stopped and asked Zhao Sanlang if he had any good ideas to punish Kijiro.

Seeing that Liang Sanlang had taken the bait, Zhao Sanlang stretched out a slap and waved it in front of his eyes.

Liang Sanlang asked him what this meant.

Zhao Sanlang said: "It's too early to be profitable, I have an idea to help you vent your anger, but it will definitely cost money to find someone to do things."

Liang Sanlang remembered the palm he waved in front of his eyes just now, and asked, "Wuguan?"

Zhao Sanlang nodded and said yes, and said that if Liang Sanlang gave him five pennies, he would help Liang Sanlang and fix Xi Erlang so that he could not do the seed business and cut off his financial resources. Later, he becomes a woodcutter and sells fish again. Will Xie Yi and his wife let their daughter marry him?

As soon as he heard that Xi Erlang might not be able to marry Xie Erniang, Liang Sanlang immediately regained his spirits. He immediately grabbed Zhao Sanlang's sleeve and asked what kind of method could be used to punish Xi Erlang so that he could not marry Xie Erniang.

Zhao Sanlang shook his palm and said that he would bring five guan coins.

Liang Sanlang was eager to know what good method Zhao Sanlang had to ruin the marriage between Xi Erlang and Xie Erniang, so he took out two hundred coins from his pocket and gave it to Zhao Sanlang, asking him to tell him the method. Listen to it, if he thinks it is feasible, then he will give Zhao Sanlang five guan money tomorrow to let him go to work.

Zhao Sanlang accepted the two hundred Wen coins with a smile, and then he whispered in Liang Sanlang's ear. After Liang Sanlang heard it, he felt that the method Zhao Sanlang said could really be tried, and the possibility of success was quite high. big.

So he also had a smile on his face, and patted Zhao Sanlang on the shoulder: "Okay, I will trust you once, and I will give you the money tomorrow, but you have received my money, so you have to write me a receipt." , it is clearly written on it that the money will be collected only after the thing is done. If it is not done, you will have to return my money. If you are willing, we will settle the matter. "

Zhao Sanlang was stunned when he heard this, but soon he nodded, saying that he would write the receipt when he went back, and the two of them would still meet in this small foot shop tomorrow, paying the money with one hand and the receipt with the other.

"Okay, come on, let's continue drinking, I'll buy today's drink."

"Okay, drink!"

After the two of them finished drinking, they had already made up their plan, and they went home without mentioning it.

After the decision was made on the 23rd of the first lunar month, Jiang Matchmaker helped Mrs. Liu deliver the betrothal gift to Xie's family, and Xie's family held an engagement banquet for the neighbors.

The engagement banquet this time was paid by Xi's family, and the banquet was quite high-end, because Mrs. Liu thought that Shun Niang would marry Xie Erniang, and Xie Erniang would bring in a dowry worth two or three hundred guan, so she was willing to spend money.

At the engagement banquet, Shunniang personally put a golden hairpin on Xie Erniang's corolla, expressing that she fell in love with Xie Erniang and made her her wife.

Xie Erniang was wearing a brand new wedding dress, she gave Shun Niang a shy and charming look, lowered her head and just pursed her lips and smiled, Shun Niang also wore a brand new wedding dress worn by men today, clinked glasses with Xie Er Niang and drank wine , and then went to toast the guests.

Speaking of which, the engagement banquet between Shunniang and Xie Erniang was held twice, and the neighbors happily came to eat twice.

At the banquet, everyone couldn't help but praise Xie Yi and his wife for getting another good son-in-law, saying that Shun Niang, a young son-in-law, is honest, hardworking and smart, and can make money. In the future, the business must be bigger than Xie Yi. It is really good that Xie Er Niang can marry Shun Niang.

When Xie Yi and his wife heard this, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

While drinking, Shunniang glanced at Xie Erniang who was sitting at the same table with Wu Shi and others from time to time. She felt that her unmarried daughter-in-law became cuter and more beautiful, and she wished she could marry her sooner. Son.

Since the two families made an agreement, Shunniang saw Xie Erniang less and less. Wu took her very seriously. Every afternoon, when Shunniang came back from the ox cart and entered the courtyard of Xie's house, Wu was more important than her daughter. First appeared in the backyard of Xie's house. In this way, Xie Erniang, who was doing needlework in the boudoir, could not run to meet Shunniang, but could only stand in front of the window and look at Shunniang across the air.

It soon entered March, the grass grew and the warblers flew, and the weather became warmer. Shunniang often went to the city to send the seeds back, and in the afternoon she had to chop a load of firewood or catch a few fish.She doesn't sell firewood and fish now, she picks firewood for her own home, and if there are more fish, she will send a few to her Yue's family.

One day, she was basking in the sun and fishing by the river under Liushan, when someone reached out from behind her and covered her eyes.

The people behind him didn't speak, just laughed.

But Shunniang could smell who it was from the scent on her wrist, and said, "Second Niang, don't make a fuss, and if you cover my eyes again, be careful that the fish will run away."

Erniang Xie giggled and took her hand away, then walked forward and sat down beside Shunniang.

Shunniang saw that she was carrying a small fish basket on her waist, so she asked her if she was here to catch loaches for her brother again?

Xie Erniang glanced at her and said, "I'm here to catch your big loach, didn't I catch it just now?"

The two hadn't been together for more than a month, Shunniang saw that Xie Erniang didn't even care about fishing, she looked around, but there was no one around, so she asked Xie Erniang to sit in front of her.

Although Xie Erniang didn't understand what Shunniang wanted to do by sitting in front of her, she obediently did so.

As soon as she sat down in front of Shunniang, Shunniang stuck up, hugged her in her arms, and whispered in her ear that she missed her so much.

As soon as the breath of Shunniang's words caught Erniang Xie's ears, she couldn't help trembling, blushing, and a wave of longing quickly surged in her heart.

"Do you miss me?" Shun Niang continued to ask softly in her ear.

"Well, I think... um..." Xie Erniang nodded and answered, and Shunniang closed her ear with her lips.

Shun Niang couldn't bear her soft voice, it was just a matter of intimacy when she was caught.

So, on this day, Shunniang caught a total of one fish, which was caught before Xie Erniang came. After that, since Xie Erniang came, she didn't care about fishing. love it.In the end, in order for Xie Erniang to go back to work, he went to help her catch more than a dozen loaches and put them in her small fish basket.

When the sun was setting, the two went back to Yangliu Town one after the other. Xie Erniang went home and brought out the loach. Seeing her, Mrs. Wu asked her if she went to see Xi Erlang by the river again in the afternoon.

Xie Erniang refused to admit it, so Wu said that she went to Xi's next door in the afternoon to discuss how to arrange a wedding room for the two in the future. Liu told her that Shunniang went fishing by the river, and Xie Erniang also went to the river today. I don't believe my daughter didn't go to meet Nakijiro.

"It's okay to see her, isn't she engaged to me?" Xie Erniang saw that she couldn't hide it, so she had to admit it.

Mrs. Wu shook her head: "You silly boy, even if you miss him, you have to bear it. Just because you are engaged, you will be Xi Erlang's wife in the future, so you can't let him take it lightly... Hey, how many times do I have to say you just listen!"

Xie Erniang pouted, thinking to herself, Shunniang wouldn't look down on me like you said, because she said, if you miss her, just go see her...

"Okay, you can go to the Liang Family Tofu Shop and buy two pieces of tofu, and come back, and cook loach with tofu at night. Saburo loves it."

"it is good."

After leaving the house, Xie Erniang went to Liang's tofu workshop. Liang Sanlang happened to be sitting in front of the stall. Liang Sanlang was still enthusiastic when he saw Xie Erniang, and he didn't change his attitude just because Xie Erniang came to criticize him last time.

Xie Erniang saw Liang Sanlang's attitude towards her as usual, and the little discomfort in her heart quickly disappeared.

She took out four Wen to buy two pieces of tofu. Liang Sanlang wrapped the tofu in dried lotus leaves and handed it to her. When she took the tofu and turned to leave, she said four words: "You can do it yourself."

Although the voice was quiet, Erniang Xie still heard her, she suddenly turned her head and gave Liang Sanlang a look, and asked him: "What are you talking about?"
