After dressing as a widow

"Zhu Zi kept silent, and even found a good-looking wife back." Lin Zhen smiled sullenly.

Guo Xiaohua and Guo Yu, who saw him laughing, stared blankly at him who was smiling. There seemed to be a flash of light in front of his eyes, and his head was dizzy.

The three of them sat in the room for no less than an hour, when they heard the person in charge of the banquet shouting from outside: "The man in the village pulls the table, and the lady and brother count the dishes and chopsticks, and prepare for the banquet." Already!"

Lin Zhen put on his shoes, tried his best to walk in the same posture as usual, and went out to eat with Guo Xiaohua and Guo Yu.

Guo Xiaohua and Guo Yu said to him: "Why don't we bring it in for you, and you can eat it in the house."

Lin Zhen shook his head: "It's okay, it's much better after applying the medicine." With so many relatives today, how can he eat in there? Those who don't know think he has problems with Brother Lin, Sister Lin and Lin Zhuzi, otherwise Lin Zhuzi is so good In those days, she didn't even show her face.

The three of them came out together, and when they stepped out of the house, they happened to see a few tables in front of the guests who were seeing off the bride from the girl's house and the guests who were picking up the bride from the Lin's house, two tables for boys and men, and one table for girls and brothers.

I don't know what they are playing. A cute, young boy in blue clothes is reaching up to talk to Gu Lin who is standing up. From Lin Zhen's point of view, it is a bit awkward. The posture of people whispering.

Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows and before he could speak, Guo Xiaohua tugged at Lin Zhen's sleeve: "Cousin Zhenzhen, your son is really likable, and many girls and brothers looked at him along the way."

puff.

Lin Zhen hurriedly said: "He is my nephew who lives in my house now, not my son."

Everyone in the family and the village knew that Lin Zhen and Gu Lin had no such relationship, so they all changed their minds, but Guo Xiaohua and the others were far away, and it was impossible for the Lin family to go to Xiaogang Village just for such news.

So Guo Xiaohua is still the old name.

Guo Xiaohua blinked, she didn't expect Gu Lin to become a nephew from Lin Zhen's stepson, but she nodded without asking further questions.

The relatives all had their own tables. Lin Zhen, the host, didn't intend to eat the first round of noodles, but just sent Guo Xiaohua and Guo Yu over, and happened to pass by the table where the relatives were sent off and picked up.

Lin Shitou, who was sitting opposite Gu Lin, saw Lin Zhen and the three of them, and extended his hand to say hello: "Uncle, Uncle Huabiao and Uncle Yubiao."

Lin Zhen actually didn't feel much about what he saw just now, after all, it was just the angle caused by the misalignment, but he suddenly had a bad idea, and put his palm on Gu Lin's shoulder: "How about it, did you guys take care of your relatives?" Come on, they will accompany you wholeheartedly when you go, so you can't slip away early."

His extremely prosperous face is exposed from Gu Lin's side. His eyebrows are long and slender, but not feminine. His eyes are slightly round, but the tails of his eyes are graceful, and his nose is straight. The tip of his nose is not extremely delicate and pointed, but rather It was a face that was slightly rounded and bright and full of charm, but because of the eyebrows and nose, there was a bit of pure beauty.

And God seems to favor him because of this face, the exposed skin on his body is dazzlingly white, like a handful of snow that hasn't fallen on the ground.

The brother who was so courageous and wanted to talk to Gu Lin looked at the person standing behind Gu Lin, and the strength he had finally gathered was blown away by the blow.

He knows what he looks like, although many boys in the village like him, but...

Looking at Lin Zhen, he couldn't even feel jealous.

Gu Lin was put on Lin Zhen's shoulders, turned his head to look at Lin Zhen, he just heard the sound of the banquet opening, he had already stood up to call Lin Zhen, but he didn't expect that someone would come to talk to him, so he stood some distance away Listen to what this person has to say.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen came at this time.

This was the first time Lin Zhen got close to him in front of outsiders after expressing his intentions. He felt the hand on his shoulder, with a sharp face, and whispered to Lin Zhen: "Uncle Lin, I haven't Talk to him."

Lin Zhen was amused by his reaction, "I know."

"You continue to accompany them. I will go there with you Biao Hua and Uncle Yu Biao first." Lin Zhen said to him, then greeted the others, and walked over with Guo Xiaohua and Guo Yu.

Gu Lin looked at him, until Lin Zhen accompanied Guo Xiaohua and Guo Yu to the table, and then looked away, and his already serious face instantly became darker.

The people at the table suddenly felt that he was not easy to get close to, obviously he didn't put on a bad face, and even had a calm expression, but let alone the girl, even Lin Shitou looked a little panicked.

The table was set in the evening, and all relatives, friends and villagers finished eating. Most relatives and friends took advantage of the early weather to say goodbye to Father Lin and Brother Lin, and Sister Lin, and rushed home before the sky darkened. .

For those who live far away and can’t make it back, the Lin family has already made arrangements to arrange them to the homes of Aunt Ma, Uncle Ji and Aunt Zhang who are familiar with them, and they will leave after eating a thank-you meal tomorrow.

The tables and stools were wiped clean and placed, the dishes and chopsticks were washed and put into the basket, followed by the second brother Lin who had been running up and down for a day, and the second sister-in-law Lin sent the helper girl back as before, and the rest of the family was finally able to breathe tone.

Lin Zhuzi's daughter-in-law's surname is Zhou, and her name is Zhou Xing. At this moment, she has changed into the more solemn red dress, wearing a pink upper jacket and a milky white lower skirt, and the skirt is embroidered with twine flowers. , moved a stool to sit beside Lin Zhuzi, and chatted with the Lin family.

Soon, everyone washed and went to bed, and Gu Lin pressed and applied medicine to Lin Zhen's feet again.

As soon as autumn passed, the weather became cooler and cooler, the green trees and flowers turned yellow, and the dead leaves were blown everywhere.

After Lin Zhuzi's marriage was done, Lin Zhen and Gu Lin also put on the agenda to go to the capital. They both wanted to go overland, so as not to run into those water bandits who didn't know how many or how few they were.

But the Wang family who have business in other places sent people to tell them that the court sent officers and soldiers to suppress the water bandits several times this autumn. Now the water bandits are no longer rampant, and they even hide from the large passenger ships. If they go to Kyoto, they can take the waterway .

The water route is faster than the land route, and without the unstable factor of water bandits, it is their best choice at present.

If it weren't for the fact that there is no waterway from Anyuan Town to Fucheng, they would have gone back and forth so many times.

So Lin Zhen made the decision, took the water route, and also fixed the date of leaving home, which would be three days later.

"Huh—" Get up early and open the door, a gust of cold wind makes people feel refreshed, Lin Zhen gathers up the clothes covered with a thin layer of cotton, and puts them on quickly.

Lin Zhuzi's daughter-in-law Zhou Xing, who had just entered the house for half a month, happened to also come out of the house. Seeing Lin Zhen, she greeted shyly, "Gu Da, you're up."

Zhou Xing's temperament is gentle and careless, his needlework is as good as that of Mrs. Lin's, and his thoughts are delicate, and he can often detect points that others can't.

Lin Zhen felt that she was a good match for Lin Zhuzi. Lin Zhuzi looked rough on the outside, but was actually sensitive. Only a delicate person like her could perceive Lin Zhuzi's thoughts.

Lin Zhen nodded: "Why don't you sleep more in the cold weather?"

"If you don't do anything during the day, you will go to bed early at night, and you won't be able to fall asleep when you have enough time." As he spoke, Zhou Xing walked to the kitchen, and Lin Zhen also went there. Put the ignited fine firewood into the stove hole, and add water to the pot.

There are more people in the family, more water is used, and it takes longer to boil the water.

The two chatted happily in the kitchen for a while, and then the rest of the Lin family got up.

Seeing Lin Zhen and Zhou Xing at breakfast, he said, "Why did you get up, where are Zhuzi and the others?"

Father Lin yawned, and sat between Lin Zhen and Zhou Xing, "It's getting colder and colder, sleep as long as you can, Xiao Xing, don't get used to the pillar, you should wake him up Just wake him up, there are no lazy people in our Lin family."

In fact, Lin Zhuzi is not lazy, and he is very diligent when doing wooden work. Father Lin just doesn't want his granddaughter-in-law to be wronged and disadvantaged. There are always some good faces in this family, so balance is balanced.

Zhou Xing was young and didn't understand Father Lin's thoughts, he waved his hands honestly and said, "No, it's because I can't sleep, and Zhu Zi told me to sleep as long as I want."

"Is that so?" Father Lin deliberately teased him, "Then I'll ask him later."

Zhou Xing's pretty face turned into a big red apple, and she was very embarrassed to speak out about the private matters between the husband and wife in a hurry.

Father Lin patted her hand: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"As long as you two are doing well, it's better than anything else."

"When you have a little one in two years, you can build another house with Zhuzi and go out to live your own little life. At that time, you will be more comfortable."

Zhou Xing didn't know why Father Lin said this suddenly, he almost thought he was frightened.

But it's really good to move out to live. Although it's okay to live with the elderly, many places are better, but the two of them are newlyweds, and they always feel inconvenient.

And if you have a baby, one house is not enough.

"Thank you." Zhou Xing felt that marrying Lin Zhuzi was the right decision, and no woman in the village was as happy as her now.

The husband loves them, the elders above are always considerate of them, and the family environment is also very good.

After talking to Zhou Xing, Father Lin turned to Lin Zhen: "You guys are leaving tomorrow, how are you packing up, it's freezing cold, bring more clothes, and medicine for wind-cold and brain fever Bring some, just in case."

"It's all packed, except for the clothes and some belongings, I didn't take much," Lin Zhen saw the unconcealable worry and reluctance on Father Lin's face, and took his hand, "This time I will go to the capital with Shuanzi , I will take a look at the business there, if it is suitable, I will work here for a few years, and I will pick you up when I am stable."

It's far away, and it's tiring to toss back and forth.

Lin Zhen thought over and over again, if he could settle down in the capital, it would be good to take Lin Adie and the others to the capital.
