The peasant boy of crossing

Wu Su won the election, and Li's mother also knew about the Wu family's banquet.

The Wu family sent a lot of invitations, one for each family, saying that everyone should come over, but Li's mother has been a widow all along, so she would not go to such a lively scene.

But now that Li Xinyi came back, Mother Li handed the invitation to Li Xinyi, saying: "Mum received the invitation, you can go to tomorrow's banquet."

Li Xinyi took it, looked at the words on the invitation, nodded and said: "OK."

Mother Li then went to bring her newly made clothes for Li Xinyi to try on.

The dark blue cotton gown has a simple style, but the stitching is fine and durable.

Mother Li smiled and said, "The material is thick and the size is just right. It's the most suitable dress."

Li Xinyi took off her clothes after wearing them for a while, and said, "Auntie, don't make clothes anymore, it's tiring and hurts your eyes."

Li's mother said: "I don't do it, how can you have clothes to wear?"

Li Xinyi said: "Didn't you teach me to tailor clothes, I will do it myself in the future."

Li Mu listened to Li Xinyi's big talk, smiled and did not refute him.

Li Xinyi opened the cage she brought, and took out all the things he brought from Hangzhou.

"Aniang, this is West Lake lotus root powder, this is Longjing tea leaves, and this is Hangzhou silk, feel for this material."

Mother Li touched it and said: "People like us, how can we wear silk and satin? What are you doing with this thing?"

Li Xinyi smiled and said, "Auntie, you can wear what you want, and you can sell it for money if you don't want to."

Mother Li instructed: "Forget about hanging silk, remember to give some lotus root powder and tea leaves to Grandpa Wu and the others. When you were away, Wu Shen came several times."

Li Xinyi felt guilty, squatted halfway in front of Li's mother, held her rough palm, and buried her face in it.

He said sullenly, "Mother, my son is not filial."

Li's mother comforted him, saying: "When you grow up, you will naturally leave A Niang. There is no child who always clings to his parents."

Li Xinyi said: "Of course, sons will live with their parents for the rest of their lives."

Seeing Li Xinyi still squatting and refusing to get up, Li's mother said: "It's getting dark, do you still want to go to your Grandpa Wu's house?"

Only then did Li Xinyi raise her head, glanced at the sky outside, and said, "It's too late, I'll go there now."

Mother Li looked at Li Xinyi's leaving back and sighed inaudibly.

·

Li Xinyi's arrival was unlucky, Wu Agong invited someone to go fishing, and only Grandma Wu, Wu Can, and Wu Can's wife were at home.

But if we haven't seen each other for two or three months, Wu Shen is no longer the lonely man he used to be, he already has a wife.

Regarding this, Wu Shen explained: "We were engaged a long time ago, and we just got married recently."

Li Xinyi said: "I came late, and I couldn't congratulate Angkor at the wedding. I will make up a red envelope when I go back, and congratulate Angkor on his wedding."

Wu Shen quickly stopped him and said, "The wedding is over, and you haven't even had a glass of wedding wine, where can I get your red envelope?"

He looked at the things Li Xinyi was carrying, and asked, "What good things did you bring with you this trip?"

Li Xinyi said: "It's not too rare, but I just think it's fresh, so I want to bring it here for Grandpa to taste. When I'm not at home, Auntie is lucky to have Grandpa and your second brother take care of you."

Wu Shen smiled and said: "Since you call me brother, this is what brother should do. Let's not be polite, you should not leave when you come back this trip, right?"

Li Xinyi couldn't help laughing when she thought of the scene where she left in embarrassment a few years ago, and said, "I want to go to the capital."

Wu Shen was surprised: "The capital? What are you going to do in the capital?"

Li Xinyi said: "I don't do anything, I just want to see the customs at the feet of the emperor."

Wu Can disapproved and said: "Originally, I shouldn't be the one to say this, but you went to Chuzhou first, and then to Hangzhou. Although you are not at home, it will only take a few days to come back. But you are going now. Jingshi, how long will it take to go this way. You can’t always be floating outside and come back home.”

Li Xinyi smiled and said, "I'm just saying that, and I don't necessarily want to really go. I thought you would agree with me to go out and see more."

Wu Shen said: "You are not young anymore, you will be twenty in the next year, and you have never been settled. This is not good, why don't I ask your sister-in-law to help you pay attention? Her natal family knows several girls who are waiting to be married. "

Li Xinyi was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm only nineteen years old, and my second brother shouldn't add years to people indiscriminately. My mother will help to pay attention to this matter, so I won't bother my second brother. Where's the eldest brother? He's still walking outside business?"

Wu Shen remembered that his eldest brother was on the road for more than half of the year, and sighed, "Big brother wrote a letter two months ago saying that he will be back before the winter solstice."

Li Xinyi didn't say anything else, and talked with Wu Shen about the banquet that Wu's family will hold tomorrow, and then left Grandpa Wu's house.

·

On the second day, Li Xinyi got up early in the morning, put on the dark blue padded robe newly made by Li's mother, and went to look for Wu Shen.

When he went, Wu Shen was having breakfast.Seeing Li Xinyi coming, he hurriedly ordered his wife to serve Li Xinyi a bowl too.

Li Xinyi waved her hand and said, "I came here after eating, sister-in-law, don't bother."

Wu Candao: "Why did you come here so early?"

Li Xinyi said: "It's not my mother, I'm afraid that I will be late and make people laugh, and I'm also worried that I will be stupid and unable to speak. My mother said that the second brother is safe, so I ask you to help me more."

Wu Shen said with a smile: "It's just a drink, there is no need to help."

Finally, after Wu Shen finished his breakfast, the two walked to Wu Su's house together.

Wu Su's house was very lively at this time, Father Wu and Uncle Wu were sitting in the main hall, talking with the guests.

Li Xinyi grabbed Wu Shen's arm and said, "Isn't it too early now, why don't we come back later?"

Wu Shendao: "You see that there are already many people sitting in the main hall, why is it early?"

Li Xinyi stood still, refusing to move, and said, "Second brother, you can go by yourself, I'll go out and take a look before I come back."

Wu Shen laughed at him and said, "Aren't you timid? We all know people, even if we don't, we'll get to know each other after a few chats."

Wu Su was also talking with him in the main hall, and he could see Li Xinyi and Wu Shen talking outside from a distance.

Because the two were far away, others thought that the two were talking privately, but no one stepped forward to disturb them.

Wu Su sat for a while, but couldn't sit still anymore, so he came out with an excuse.It happened that he saw Li Xinyi walking back.

Wu Su's heart was a little complicated. Wu Jian came out and wanted to have a chat with him.

But at this moment, Wu Su only had eyes on the figure that was getting further and further away, and he said absently: "Sorry, I'll excuse you for a while."

Li Xinyi spurned herself as she walked back.He was really timid, he felt ashamed, and even felt that no matter what he did, it was wrong.

He couldn't walk into Wu Su's house as if nothing had happened, pretend to be an ordinary and ordinary young man, and send the most sincere blessings.

Wu Su finally caught up with Li Xinyi and called his name: "Ayi!"

Li Xinyi thought she was hallucinating, so she walked faster and faster, and finally ran.

Wu Su: "..."

He didn't care about his behavior being inappropriate, so he had to run too, and grabbed Li Xinyi's arm.

Li Xinyi was taken aback. Seeing that it was Wu Su, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you here?"

Wu Su panted, "Then why are you running?"

Li Xinyi looked at Wu Su's flushed face, and found it extremely funny, and said, "Your clothes are wrinkled, and your hair is loose."

Wu Su glared at him angrily, and said, "They're all here, why go back?"

Li Xinyi didn't answer, just said: "You can't do this, I'll tie your hair and change your clothes for you."

Wu Su took Li Xinyi, went in through the side door, and walked all the way to the east wing.

This is not the first time Li Xinyi has come to Wu Su's bedroom, but seeing the furnishings in the house, he still has the feeling that he has come to Wu Su's private space.

Wu's mother had already prepared several sets of newly made outer robes for Wu Su. He picked out a bamboo green one at random, but when he caught a glimpse of Li Xinyi's clothes, he changed the bamboo green color to royal blue.

Pulling off the hairband on his head, Wu Su sat in front of the bronze mirror and said, "Come on."

Li Xinyi picked up the comb and combed Wu Su's hair.

Wu Su's hair was thick and dense, and it could hang down to his waist when it was untied. It took him a little effort to tie Wu Su's hair into a bun.

Looking at his own face in the bronze mirror, Wu Su said: "The teacher means to crown me in advance, and also gave me a watch letter."

Li Xinyi asked: "What word?"

Wu Su said: "Zi Jin. The teacher said that a gentleman is cautious in his words and careful in his actions."

Li Xinyi said: "Zijin, congratulations on your success."

Wu Su stood up, looked at Li Xinyi and said earnestly, "Then, how about I give you a watch too?"

Li Xinyi smiled and said: "Whatever I want to write, just call me by my name, there is no inconvenience. You have been delayed for too long, and everyone in the front hall is waiting for you."

Wu Su also knew that he couldn't leave him at this time, so he could only say: "I'll come to you after the banquet, you can't run away anymore."
