There is a married man

Mrs. Li finally agreed, and Jia Matchmaker hurried to Chen Liang's house.

There was not much resistance from Chen Liang's side, and he quickly agreed.

Chen Liang is 23 this year. In the precocious ancient times, he can be regarded as an older youth.In the past ten years, he has devoted all his energy to farming and family affairs, and he does not feel lonely depending on his mother. Three years ago, his mother passed away. At first, Chen Liang thought he could live alone, but Chen Liang, who has always been filial, thought of his mother's last words, and then thought about marrying a wife and having a child after the filial piety period expired, so So I asked Jia Matchmaker for help.

After hearing Jia Matchmaker's brief introduction of the other party, Chen Liang felt that as long as the person is kind and honest, appearance is really not that important, so he hurriedly agreed without looking at the other party's picture scroll.

Matchmaker Jia was obviously a prepared person, and she told Chen Liang that the tenth day of the next month would be the most suitable day for marriage, but Chen Liang didn't care about it, so she let her make the decision, as long as she told him what needs to be prepared.

Matchmaker Jia hurriedly agreed with a smile, and after discussing with Chen Liang the bride price and the rules of engagement three days later, she happily left with her big bucket on her waist.

Three days later.

Looking at the dowry gifts in the yard, Ai Qing was shocked, unbelievable, and cheated all of a sudden: the wet nurse broke her promise and arranged a marriage for Yinger on her own.

"Nurse, didn't you promise Qing'er not to make decisions on her own? What's going on?" Ai Qing, who was immersed in the heartache caused by being cheated, subconsciously became serious.

"Qing'er, wet nurse, isn't this..." Seeing the child who has always respected her since she was a child, but now has accusations, Li's heart hurts a little, but more of it is a little guilty.But as long as I think about that excellent son-in-law, this sense of guilt will soon disappear.

"Hey, I said big sister, it's a good day today, but I, Jia Matchmaker, still need to clarify some things with you first. According to the laws of our country, this engagement is promised verbally, but then you go back on it later. You have to Those who go to prison, if it is serious, are exiled." Looking at Ai Qing's reaction, he probably wants to regret the marriage, how can this be done.

"This...Matchmaker Jia, I don't want to regret the marriage, don't worry!" Hearing this, Mrs. Li became unhappy. When did she show that she was going to regret the marriage.

Ai Qing was stunned when she heard Jia Matchmaker's words. She didn't expect that the laws of this era were so strict about engagement and marriage. If she insisted on breaking the engagement without understanding, the nanny would go to jail, but what would Yinger do?

Thinking of this, Ai Qing was tangled.

Seeing Qing'er's embarrassed expression, Li Shi knew that Qing'er was still thinking about himself, "Qing'er, you just trust the wet nurse, Ying'er is a piece of flesh and blood that fell from the wet nurse's body in October, and the wet nurse is It will definitely not harm her. If the man is not too good this time, the nanny will not accept it so easily."

Looking up straight into the eyes of the nanny, full of confidence in the man and maternal love for Yinger, Ai Qing feels that this is the only way to decide at the moment, hoping that the other party is really a good match for Yinger.

The wedding was scheduled for the tenth day of the lunar new year two months later. It was a bit rushed, but it was the most suitable day of the year for getting married according to the almanac.

Another half month later, Ying'er came back without warning.

Ying'er came back alone, and it was already night when she came back, Ai Qing and Li Shi had already gone to bed, when they heard the knock on the door, they got up quickly.

The two opened the door with sleepy eyes, only to see Ying'er outside the door, but her clothes were dirty, her face was tired, and her eyes were confused, which woke up the two who opened the door, and quickly led her into the door. After entering the room, Ai Qing So I went to the kitchen to boil water so that Ying'er could wash.

After everything was settled, it was already midnight.

Seeing Yinger's tired face, Li Shi and Ai Qing decided to wait for her to rest and adjust, and then tell her about their marriage in a month later.

Day two.

"Mother, what did you say?" Li Ying looked at Li Shi in disbelief, as if what she had just heard was just an illusion.

"The marriage has been decided, it will be on September [-]th. The other party is really a nice person..."

"I don't want to marry!" The answer was a firm refusal, and she got up and prepared to leave.

"Ying'er, mother won't harm you." Seeing that Li Ying was about to leave again, Li Shi hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I won't marry!"

"If you don't marry, that's good. Mother will have to be with the rats in the dungeon for the rest of her life." Seeing her daughter's stubbornness, Li also gave it up.

"What do you mean?"

"Sister Yinger, if you don't marry, according to the law, the wet nurse will be arrested." Ai Qing, who originally planned not to speak, had no choice but to answer in a low voice, feeling very guilty in his heart.

"what?"

"Yinger", "Sister Yinger"...

Li Ying fainted...

When he woke up again, his mother's angry expression and Ai Qing's worried expression were what he saw.

"Tell me, who is the evil seed in my belly?" Li Shi was so angry that her daughter, who she always thought to be a good-natured, did such a shameful thing.

"Boom", I felt like a string was broken in my mind suddenly, stroking my belly, I was pregnant, and I was pregnant with that person's child.

"Ying'er, just say it, you're going to piss your mother off, aren't you?" As she said that, tears covered her entire face.

Seeing her mother so sad, Yinger couldn't bear it, and finally told the truth.

It turned out that when Li Ying went to Taoyuan Village where her good sister married, she met a gentle and elegant scholar in the village. They got along with each other for a few days, and they were deeply attracted to each other.The scholar was determined to marry Li Ying, so she discussed with her mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, the old lady looked down on Li Ying, who was born as a peasant girl, so she threatened death to prevent the two from interacting.The two then met to elope, but Li Ying, who had been waiting at the ferry all night, still did not see the figure of the scholar, and finally despaired, so he took a boat back to Gutian Village alone in a daze.

But I never thought that the mistake of that night would lead to a child.

Hearing this, Li's face was filled with remorse. It turned out that this was all caused by himself. Why was he so confused and agreed to let Ying'er go out?

Ai Qing, who heard what happened to Ying'er, was so angry that she had already scolded the old lady who ruined other people's feelings, and at the same time was angry with that scholar for her incompetence.

But the most urgent thing right now is the marriage in a month and a half.

Yinger is no longer a virgin, and she is pregnant again. No matter how good Chen Liang is, she will never accept the shiny "green hat" before marriage. Therefore, it is absolutely unfeasible for Yinger to marry, but If they don't marry, they will be investigated, and they will be imprisoned.

The family is gloomy.

These days, Mrs. Li fell ill because she felt sorry for her daughter and worried about her marriage, and Li Ying had to rest well because of her fetal dyspnea. Ai Qing suddenly became the backbone of the family.

These days, the whole family is in a state of gloom, unable to arouse any appetite at all, but Ai Qing knows that even if she is so anxious and troubled, it is fundamental to take good care of her body, and she must feed their stomachs well.

People in early pregnancy need to supplement a lot of protein and high nutrition, and people who are sick can't eat too much greasy food. Ai Qing thought of fish soup.

Ai Qing got up early in the morning and went to the fishermen to buy two fresh crucian carp and some tofu along the way. After bringing the fish home, he threw them into the water tank.After breakfast, I went to the backyard to tidy up the vegetable field and picked three tender loofahs, two cucumbers and some green peppers.

Take the fish out of the water tank and put it on the cutting board. After the fish was knocked unconscious, Ai Qing took a kitchen knife and directly disemboweled it, scraped off the scales and gills, washed it and dried it, and marinated it with a small amount of salt and cooking wine.Turn on the fire, put cooking oil in the pot, and wait for the oil to heat up. At the same time, Ai Qing cut the bought tofu into pieces.When everything was ready, Ai Qing put her hands on the top of the pot to feel the oil temperature. Seeing that the time was right, she put the ginger slices that had been prepared into the pot and sautéed them until fragrant. Then she put two crucian carp in the pot and fried them until both sides were fried. It is golden yellow in color.Then add enough boiling water, put some scallions and cooking wine, cover the pot, and wait for the fish to be cooked.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes for the fish soup to turn milky white, Ai Qing opened the lid and put in the tofu aside, sprinkled with a little salt, then added a small amount of green onion, covered again and simmered over low heat.

About 5 minutes later, Ai Qing opened the lid of the pot again, and the delicious smell of fish soup came straight to her face. The tender tofu was reflected in it, and the milky white fish soup was even more lovable.Crucian carp tofu soup is done!

After adding the fish soup to a bowl to keep warm, Ai Qing simply made scrambled eggs with loofah and patted cucumbers. The green and yellow loofahs looked delicious, and the refreshing patted cucumbers were even more appetizing.

Maybe it was really the effect of the food, the two of them ate a lot at noon, and Ai Qing's heart was finally relieved, as long as people are good, everything will work out!
