The houses of blue bricks and green tiles, the streets of blue stones, and the county town are melted in a drizzle, which splashed on the roofs, the ground, and the willow trees on the river bank, like a thin layer of smoke, making everything feel blurry. Get hazy.

Disembarking and disembarking at the pier, although it is still raining lightly, the sky is getting brighter at this time.

Dong Wu was carrying the box and a covered basket containing two cleaned large fish. Song Li wanted to take the box from his hand, but he didn't give it to him.

It was still early, but the pier was already quite lively.

There are many boats parked on the pier. Song Li and the others are mostly small and medium-sized awning boats, but there are many large boats on the pier on the other side. Dong Wu saw him look over and said, "The ones over there Many large ships are going to Yunzhou Prefecture, and some cargo ships will go directly to the capital."

Song Li said "Oh". From the busy and lively wharf, it can be seen that this county is a very prosperous county with very developed shipping.

From time to time, there were shouts from the boatman on the pier, and there were special porters standing under the big banyan tree waiting for business. Some people got on the boat and left, and some came off the boat.

Song Li stood beside Dong Wu holding an umbrella, looking at the busy scene, it was like watching a scene in a pure movie.

Dong Wu put his arm around Song Li's shoulder and took the umbrella from Song Li's hand. The two squeezed together under the umbrella and walked forward. Want to try it?"

Song Li was still not in good spirits at this time, Dong Wu thought he was shocked because of the matter of that Mr. Wei's family, that Mr. Wei's family was indeed miserable, and Song Li was timid and full of compassion It is indeed easy to fall into sad emotions after hearing the heartfelt words.

Dong Wu liked and pitied Song Li like this, he thought, maybe Song Li would feel better if he had some hot porridge and a pancake, after all, because he got up early this morning, Song Li hardly ate anything for breakfast.

The biscuit shop is not far from the pier. There are a lot of people here, but that one is not very crowded and there are no queues. Maybe it is because although it is a biscuit shop, it has a relatively high facade, and it is also raining on this day. For lighter reasons!

Dong Wu took Song Li in, and Song Li took the umbrella from his hand and put it away.

I ordered pancakes and fish porridge, paid the bill, and sat down in the hall.This kind of snack shop is often busy because the guests it entertains are often busy, so almost all of them have to pay the bill first before serving the food.

Almost all the people sitting in the hall were men. Everyone was talking while eating. Most of them were talking about what happened on the pier, or what happened in Yunzhou City. Of course, some of them talked about major events that happened in this city.

When Song Li went in, everyone couldn't help but take a second look, first with a clear eye, and then secretly.

It's not that there are beautiful people, but it's rare to be so beautiful. Not only are they rare, but which beautiful people are not raised in a deep boudoir first, and then live in a deep courtyard after marriage. No.

Everyone's eyes were so blatant, Song Liwu didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment because he was still sad about Mrs. Wei's family, but Dong Wu had to be on guard because other men looked at his wife.

A sesame seed cake with a bowl of fish porridge.

Dong Wu ordered it specially for Song Li, and he said that he didn't need to eat any more after he was full from breakfast.

Although the fish porridge did not contain any fishy smell and tasted very delicious, Song Li only took a few mouthfuls of the porridge before giving it up, and only took two bites of the sesame seed cakes, feeling that it was too oily.

He formed a habit at home, always giving Dong Wu the leftovers in order not to waste them, so at this time, he also habitually pushed the bowl with more than half of the leftover porridge directly in front of Dong Wu. Pass it to Dong Wu.

Dong Wu asked softly after taking it, "You also eat very little at home, is this enough now?"

Song Li didn't know why he was in such a bad mood, but the feeling of being blocked in his heart really made him panic, he was obviously hungry, but he couldn't eat anything, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'll eat No more."

Dong Wu had no choice but to shake his hand, and quickly ate what was left of him.

After eating, he took Song Li and left the biscuit shop.

After the two left, the man in the biscuit shop said without any scruples about the little lady just now, "You are really handsome, but it's a pity to be matched with such a man!"

Dong Wu was dressed in coarse cloth, and in people's eyes, he really belonged to the category of poor people in the countryside. That's why everyone thought he was not good enough for his beautiful lady. , but not worthy of money.

"How do you know that the two are husband and wife? The girl is still wearing braids. She is not married yet. Brother and sister are almost the same."

"Why aren't they husband and wife? Look at the little eyes between them, is it between brother and sister?"

"Is it true that the husband and wife will find out after inquiring about it? If the girl's family is not married, who will find a matchmaker to make a match..."

"A matchmaker? Look at that young lady who looks so young. I think she will be an aunt when she gets married. I still want to have hot food when I go home."

"Hehe, you still dislike me. I have met the eighth aunt of the magistrate of our Yunzhou. She is the daughter of the Du family in Minyang County. It was said that she was as beautiful as a fairy back then. I saw it as a powder It's just painted evenly. The little lady just now is prettier than her. It's not that I, Zhen San, are telling lies without proof. In the future, the daughter of the Du family will return to her mother's house to visit relatives. You sit here at the pier, and you will understand me when you see it. Every sentence is true. The little lady just now was not used to work, and if she was asked to work, it was because you bastards didn't know how to pity her..."

After everyone discussed, Song Li and Dong Wu couldn't hear them as they walked away. The street was wet. Dong Wu saw that Song Li's shoes and skirt were all wet, so he couldn't bear to say, "Let's go and let the carriage take you away." Let's go!"

Song Li looked at him, "Is there a carriage?"

Dong Wu nodded, "A little further back, there is a car and horse station, you can go and see us off."

Song Li thought for a while and said, "Isn't it quite expensive? Don't you still need to borrow money to buy land? Let's not take a carriage. Let's save some money!"

Song Li's thoughtfulness made Dong Wu feel a little pained, and the two finally did not go to the carriage, but continued to walk to Dong Wu's uncle's house.

Dong Wu's uncle's house was in the south of the city, and the two finally arrived after walking for a long time.

The gate of his house is facing the street in the south of the city, with a brick courtyard wall, and the gate is closed. Dong Wu knocked on the door, and immediately someone ran to open the door. It was a woman in her 50s. Song Li thought that She is Dong Wu's aunt, unexpectedly Dong Wu called her, "Aunt Fu!"

The other party's eyes lit up when they saw Dong Wu, and they immediately burst into smiles, saying, "Hey, it's Wu Lang who is here." She saw Song Li again, froze for a moment, then blinked her eyes and said, "This is your home." Come on, little lady! You are so handsome! Quick, come in!"

Song Li said to her, "Hi Aunt Fu."

The other party was even happier, and quickly pulled the two of them in, and shouted into the room, "Madam, Wu Lang is here with his wife!"

Entering the courtyard gate is a screen wall, with corner gates on the left and right, and passing around it is a rather dignified main room. Song Li thought that Uncle Dong Wu's family was quite rich, and the house was so nice.

At this time, a woman with a slightly strong figure came out from the inside, accompanied by a little girl. The woman greeted them with a smile and said, "Wu Lang is here!" The trouser legs were all wet, so he said strangely, "Why don't you tell me when you will arrive, so that Alu at home can pick you up!"

Dong Wu had already entered the main room with Song Li, Dong Wu pulled Song Li over and said, "Auntie, this is Song Li!"

Song Li quickly smiled at her, "Hello, Auntie!"

Seeing that Song Li was obedient and obedient, the aunt's face showed a relieved and happy smile. The little girl beside her had already leaned on Dong Wu, hiding behind him a little shyly to look at Song Li, and whispered, "This The sister is very beautiful!"

The aunt pulled the little girl off Dong Wu, and said to Song Li, "This is your sister, Xiaozhen." Then she scolded the little girl, "You can't call me sister, you can call me sister-in-law."

The little girl stared at Song Li with big eyes, then hid behind her mother embarrassedly.

Aunt asked the two if they had breakfast, and when they heard that they had, and saw that Song Li's face was pale and tired, and he seemed to be catching a cold, she asked Aunt Fu to make ginger tea for the two of them. To cool off.

My aunt had already known that Song Li was coming to live, so she had already prepared the room. When Dong Wu went to the place where his family lived, when Song Li was brought into the room to change into dry clothes and dry shoes, the aunt pulled him away. Dong Wu started talking privately.

"Your lady seems to be more plausible now. However, look at her appearance, she is handsome, but don't be seduced by other men behind your back. I always feel that she looks like that People can't feel at ease."

Dong Wu knew that his aunt always spoke very straight, until it was unbearable, "Aunt, don't worry! He is not the kind of person you think, you will understand after spending a few days with him."

"I hope so. Otherwise, although you are not my son and she is not my daughter-in-law, I will let you divorce her." The aunt said very simply.

Dong Wu could only sigh.
