otherworldly happiness

The two of them talked all the way and didn't feel lonely. They arrived in Changcheng soon, and lived in the inn last time. After the carriage was settled, after the room was booked and settled, Li Jian said to Wu You: " Are you tired? Shall we rest after eating or go out and eat?"

"I'm not tired from sitting all the way. Let's go out for a walk, and I'll feel at ease when I buy something early. What do you think?"

"That's okay, let's go to the cloth shop and jewelry store first. The ones that turn left when you go out are on the street. There are many shops. Choose slowly. Last time you were injured and didn't take a good look around. This time, make up for it all. See what's delicious, let's eat outside at night."

"Okay, let's go then."After Wu You finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. Li Jian saw it, come on, he still has a hot temper, he can do whatever he wants, and he still has his own opinions. This is the tempering left by his previous life. Although my brother's requirements are not as strict as the requirements for women in ancient times, but this kind of too assertive is afraid that he will not be able to please others, so I still think this kind of temperament is very good, and it is good to support the family. .I am quite beautiful in my heart.

The two of them were strolling slowly in the street. Although it was getting late now, and it got dark early in the twelfth lunar month, after all, it was approaching the end of the year, and there were still many people on the street. They had been busy for a year, and the family was a little bit tired. Everyone who has the conditions wants to buy a new dress, and there are a lot of people in the tailor shop and the jewelry shop.

This street can be regarded as the main street in Changcheng. There are shops on both sides. The things inside are much better than those on the small streets near the vegetable market at the edge of the city. Of course, the prices are also incomparable.Generally, people with good family conditions and a little money buy them in these stores. After all, there are quite a lot of things. The last time I bought clothes for Wu You and sold leather goods, Changji Leather Goods Store is all on this street.

This time I took Wu You to think about buying him some clothes I like, but when I entered a cloth store and asked the price, I pulled Li Jian out. It seemed that it was expensive, "Why don't you take a good look at it?" Just come out, don't you like it?"

"No, it's just too expensive. I didn't expect the clothes you bought me to be so expensive. No wonder everyone in the village envies me. I went up the mountain wearing them, so I won't be willing to wear them for work in the future. It would be a waste if they get scratched." , I don’t need to buy it, it’s all new for me, if you want to buy it, you can just buy cheap linen.”

Li Jian looked at his distressed look, and didn't feel ashamed at the way the people around him looked at them. Don't be ashamed if you can't afford it. The person is also a person who will live.What a sight.

Seeing Wu You's uneasy look at the people next to him, he immediately took his hand and said as he walked, "Don't worry, your man is very good at making money, just buy silk clothes That's enough, I just bought cotton cloth for you because I felt that living in the village should not be too eye-catching. Don't mention bad linen or something in the future. It's too prickly and it's uncomfortable to wear. Earning a lot of money, isn’t it just spending it, I’ll give you the money to dress you up nicely, I’ll look good too, don’t you listen to me today, just choose what you like, don’t worry about the money, give it to me Just tell me, I still have a few hundred taels, and if it wasn’t hard to come out in the barracks, it would be enough to buy dozens of acres of land, so you can spend it without worry.”

Wu You was dumbfounded when he heard this, and thought that he still had dozens of taels of silver. After all, these days he spent a lot of money, just treating his illness, buying a carriage, renting a house, etc. That was all money, and I didn't see any income for him. Yes, I just want to save him some money. Anyway, my health is better, and there will be less places to spend money in the future. After all, he doesn’t have much military pay. I didn’t expect him to have a solid foundation, and I haven’t seen so much money. Well, when I thought of this, I said: "Well, you have the final say. In fact, don't think I'm stingy and reluctant to spend money. It's just that I'm poor and afraid. I always want to save some money in case I need it later. I will slowly spend money on it. change".

"It's okay, what do I dislike about you? It's a good thing to be able to live like this. I don't dare to want those prodigal husbands who think about how to spend money all day long. Those who know how to live like you will feel sorry for those who don't have easy money to earn." It's a good husband, don't think I didn't tell you how much money I have, I forgot to say, this time I will tell you the truth." (Li Jian said in his heart: In fact, I need to add a zero to my money, but I will not tell you because I am afraid to scare you. PS: It is obviously hard to say that it is earned by space, right? What a shame)

The two of them had a close relationship with each other, and felt that their hearts were getting closer. After all, feelings are two-sided. It takes two people to work together, be honest with each other, and take care of each other to get better and better, isn't it? Although two people None of them are sweet talkers, but they all have to work hard to be nice to each other and think about living a good life, so they still worry about not having a happy life in the future.

In the following time, the two of them visited several shops. Wu You looked at Li Jian's way of shopping, and there was no way to stop him from counting how much he had spent. He just watched the money go into other people's pockets. Forgive him for never seeing such a money-spending method. The problem of being stingy and frugal will take time to correct, but Li Jian thinks it’s better to stay here. Look at buying so many things and only spent dozens of taels of silver, ( I don’t even think that ten taels in a farmer’s family is enough for a whole family to spend a year.) In the past, even though I worked in a shopping mall, my monthly salary was not enough for a piece of clothing. How could I dare to spend like this, and I had to rent a house to eat? Well, it turns out that I have invisible shopping syndrome, but I didn't have a chance to break out before. This way of shopping is really happy.

When Li Jian finished his shopping addiction and it was getting dark, the two of them found a restaurant and went in with big bags and small bags. Seeing that the inside was clean, they ordered two dishes and one soup and asked for rice, and waited. After the food was served, the two of them drank some tea and rested their feet.

Seeing Wu You's hesitant to speak, Li Jian knew what he was going to say without guessing, and said directly, "Everything I bought today is necessary. You can't buy a new dress if you decide to kiss again. Besides, you don’t have any decent jewelry, so you can’t do without a bride price, right? That’s not pretty either.”

"I don't even look at how much you bought. Is it a piece of clothing? I can't take any jewelry with me. The main reason is that I don't have any dowry. Even people are bought by you. I don't have the face to ask for a dowry. These are enough to buy." A few acres of good land."

Li Jian has been here for a long time, and he also understands that when a husband enters the house here, the dowry determines the status of the family. For example, if the dowry is large, it means that the mother’s family values ​​good conditions, so it will be much easier in the husband’s family. Tian, ​​the husband’s family is just going to provide for you. You have a high voice in the family. Everyone in the village looks at you highly. If you don’t have a dowry, you need some dowry. If you have elders and relatives, everyone can make trouble for you, and the gossip and gossip of neighbors and neighbors cannot make up for the relationship between two people. Needless to say, most of them have never met each other. So you can imagine what life is like, after all, it is rare to not care at all.Wu You also understands this, so it's not because he is stingy, but because Li Jian will feel uncomfortable if others find out about gossiping in the future, and because these affect the relationship between the two of them, he doesn't want anything.

Li Jian thought for a moment, and looked at Wu You drinking tea silently with his head down. Li Jian felt soft in his heart. After all, the dowry gift for him could be used as a dowry and brought into the house. It's okay for Wu You, but he thinks of himself like this, so that he doesn't feel that his feelings are wasted, and wants to give him the best.

"Don't think about it too much. We all have no family. We will only have each other in the future. It is better to live a good life. Isn't the dowry going out and then entering your own house? What's the matter? Don't think too much. Anyway, we In the future, the two things are not left to our own children, and there is no advantage for outsiders to go. Whether it is engagement, marriage or dowry, I will handle it. It must not make you feel uncomfortable. You have to earn some face for us, you can’t Again, it’s not a good thing to show off too much these days, but it’s a disadvantage to be too shabby to be looked down upon by others. It’s better not to be too low-key. We need to think carefully about this degree. The farmers are better, but don’t go too far, what do you think? Let’s discuss it?”

"Well, I really haven't thought about this, that's right, the two of us living in this village are too weak, and there are indeed some things that are too bad. Make up your mind, I don't understand, it's just you I just bought two pieces of silver bracelets today, it’s a bit too much, and there are too many silver hairpins and earrings. I see that there are copper bracelets in the village, and silver ones are rare. You still buy all these at once. Some have passed."

"I don't understand, (I said to myself, who knows that there are copper jewelry, I always feel that the jewelry is only gold, silver and jade, and I didn't pay attention to what those husbands wear, so I can't stare at it, right? Men and women are also not close. PS: In fact, ancient copper jewelry is the mainstream jewelry of working people, such as gold-plated copper and silver-plated copper are very common, the price is cheap and pretty good-looking, ordinary people with silver can pass it on to the family, silver is Ming Dynasty America There is more and more silver inflows from other places. In the past, the purchasing power of silver was quite strong. It is impossible to just go shopping and pay with silver. This article is not too serious.)

Wu You is speechless now, what else can he say, this man treats himself wholeheartedly, so let's listen to him well.

The two of them went back after eating, and the cloth and clothes they bought were delivered early by a store. The two of them took the big and small bags back to the room, washed up and went to sleep. Li Jian asked after hearing Wu You's turning over. : "What's the matter, can't you sleep? Go to sleep after a long day of tiredness, and you have to order food and drinks tomorrow, and you're still busy"

"Well, sleep now"

After a while listening to the sound of breathing, he still didn't fall asleep, thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, "If you have something to say, don't hold back, it's not good if you feel uncomfortable. From now on, the financial power of our family will be entrusted to you. Don't waste money, don't feel bad, I know you are doing it for my own good, as for the purchase of land, I plan to wait two years, after all, I don't know where we will settle down in the future, besides, you usually buy land at home and grow it yourself I don't want you to work. If we rent it out, the rent will not be enough if we don't settle down here in the future. It's not enough to go back and forth. Besides, I don't know how to plant the land here, and you haven't planted it at home, right? As long as you have time to watch others grow and learn, let’s buy a Zhuangzi and grow ourselves later.”

"I'm fine, let's go to bed early. In fact, I feel that life is like a dream. I'm afraid that when I wake up, I'll lose everything. What should I do if you are so good to me? I'm afraid!"

Li Jian listened to Wu You's crying and terrified words, thinking that he was so worried and fragile when he looked at strong people. In the days when he was alone, he also wanted someone to accompany him, so he could understand what he meant. This is letting go. I can't let go of the previous suffering, I feel insecure, and I don't feel at ease in my heart, but this can't be changed with just a few words. It takes time to heal the pain in his heart. What I can do is to give him support and try to create energy. Provide him with a safe environment.

Li Jian patted him across the quilt, "Sleep, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, it's all over, we'll be together for the rest of our lives, think about the good days ahead, everything will be fine, sleep well ,I'll be with you"

Li Jian was relieved when he heard Wu You slowly falling asleep. His physical pain can be healed, but his heart can only be adjusted slowly. After all, there is no such thing as psychotherapy here, let alone a psychotherapist. .Thinking about what else I need to buy tomorrow and what else is missing at home, I slowly fell asleep.
