Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

At first, Wu Xiuxiu and Guo Ye were sitting on the edge of the bed, but after a while, Wu Xiuxiu stood up uncomfortably, walked to the dining table, found a round stool and sat down.

Guo Ye smiled awkwardly, eating tofu that night in the bridal chamber, including the unintentional mistake in the carriage today, all gave Wu Xiuxiu the impression of a pervert.

But he didn't blame him, who made the two of them have no feelings for a fake marriage at all, Wu Xiuxiu's wariness against him was purely reasonable.

For a while, there was no words in the room, and the atmosphere became even more weird and awkward.

Guo Ye, who had nothing to say, had no choice but to say to Wu Xiuxiu: "Thank you for today's matter, and I accept your kindness."

Wu Xiuxiu slightly opened the pink sandalwood mouth, a little surprised, but her face instantly returned to normal, she shook her head and said, "You're welcome, in name you are the son-in-law recruited by the Wu family, so it's only reasonable for me to accompany you home to visit relatives."

Upon hearing the word son-in-law, Guo Ye laughed at himself and said, "You know that's not what I mean."

Then he pointed to the large and small packages of presents on the dining table, including melon and fruit cakes, smoked duck and bacon, and silk and satin cloth...

Of course Wu Xiuxiu knew that Guo Ye was referring to her attitude towards the Guo family when she came here this time, so she didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently: "Your parents are good, I don't need you to thank them for being good to them, besides, come on The matter of Liu Amang this time, if you hadn't come forward to swindle him away, it might take a lot of hard work."

As soon as Liu Amang was mentioned, Wu Xiuxiu probably remembered that she tricked Guo Ye into marrying Wu's family, and also felt that she was not authentic, so her cheeks drooped involuntarily, and she blushed slightly.

As if afraid that Guo Ye on the opposite side would find out, he didn't look up.

Just as Guo Ye was about to speak, Guo Xiaoman's shouts of joy suddenly came to Wu Xiuxiu's rescue.

"Let's eat, let's eat, brother and sister-in-law, tonight's dinner is really rich. Since I was born, I have never seen our family cook so many dishes."

After finishing speaking, he opened the curtain at the door, and Guo Xiaoman helped Guo Liushi and Guo Laohan bring in plate after plate of dishes one after another.

There are chickens and ducks, fish and meat, and some wild game from the mountains. A dozen or so plates are put on the table.

Looking at the different colors and sizes of the plates, Guo Ye secretly guessed that Guo Laohan might have borrowed plates from neighbors here and there when he went out just now.

In the countryside these days, who would buy so many dishes and dishes?

The smell of vegetables in the room overwhelmed the smell of rice coming from the stove just now, gurgling... Guo Ye smelled the refreshing aroma, and he was really hungry.

Mr. Guo gave his son a blank look, then greeted Wu Xiuxiu and said, "Miss, oh no, Xiuxiu, we have dinner, but there aren't many dishes, so I'm afraid the reception is not good enough."

Wu Xiuxiu glanced at the food on the table, showed a very satisfied smile, and praised softly: "There are already a lot, and the cooking skills of the parents-in-law are really good."

Guo Xiaoman on the side hopped and shouted: "There's me too, I can help."

Wu Xiuxiu brought two bowls, one for vegetables and the other for rice, and handed them to Guo Xiaoman, telling her: "My sister-in-law knows that Xiaoman is capable, so come and give these two bowls of food to Sister Chunxiang outside, so that she can eat well. "

Hearing Wu Xiuxiu's praise, Guo Xiaoman showed joy, and ran out of the house with a bowl in one hand.

Don't look at how Chunxiang brags in Wu's house, how she won Wu Xiuxiu's trust, but her identity is always a maid.

Therefore, Guo Ye and Wu Xiuxiu, who were entertained by the dilapidated Wu family tonight, are not qualified to come in for dinner.

Anyway, they are father-in-law, mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, no matter what they are a family.

The next meal is delicious, helping to pick up the vegetables here, and helping to serve the rice over there. At first glance, it is a classic picture of a loving father, son, filial daughter-in-law and virtuous daughter-in-law.

After returning home for a while, Guo Liushi got up and packed the dishes and empty plates. Wu Xiuxiu wanted to get up and help clean up, but she was pushed down by the sensible Guo Xiaoman, saying that sister-in-law is a distinguished guest, and this kind of rough work is trivial. Pretty good at it.

Then he went to help Guo Liushi tidy up and wash the dishes.

Maybe it was because of the bumps and fatigue on the road, Wu Xiuxiu, who was sitting upright and talking with Guo Laohan, covered her mouth and yawned abruptly.

Although Guo Laohan is called Laohan, he is not stupid. On the contrary, he has good eyesight.

He knew that his daughter-in-law might be sleepy, so he said directly: "It's getting late, you young couple can sleep in Xiaoman's room tonight, and Xiaoman's girl will sleep with me and her mother."

What?

As soon as these words came out, not only Wu Xiuxiu showed panic, but a layer of severe cold appeared all over her body, even Guo Ye almost fell to the ground without sitting still.

Seeing the young couple being so surprised, Guo Laohan didn't know what was going on, and quickly explained: "I know that the lady of a big family likes to be clean, so don't worry, I just bought the quilt and mattress in Xiaoman's house, and they are new. Hurry up and go."

Then he gave instructions to Guo Ye: "Boy, boil hot water on the stove, and bring a basin to your daughter-in-law to warm her feet later. The old village in the deep mountains tends to get cold in the middle of the night. It is comfortable to burn your feet, so you can sleep well."

Wu Xiuxiu was completely overwhelmed by Guo Laohan's words, thinking in her heart, how is this possible?

Guo Ye was also full of muddleheaded thoughts, what was Wu Xiuxiu thinking in his heart, how could he not know?But looking at the posture of my father and mother, it would be unreasonable if I didn't sleep in the same room with Wu Xiuxiu tonight. How would I cope with the long night tonight?

Chapter 8

The night fell slowly, the crescent moon passed the willows, the autumn wind was rustling, and a few nightingales were singing like spring.

The maid Chunxiang and the Wu family's groom were arranged by Guo Laohan to stay at the neighbor's house for a night.

But Wu Xiuxiu and Guo Ye were pushed into another thatched hut by Guo Liushi and Guo Xiaoman, and then Guo Xiaoman, an ancient spirit, showed his big brother Guo Ye a big smile on his face, and then ruthlessly Close the door hard.

Guo Ye looked around Xiaoman's room. This hut was originally lived by his predecessor Guo Ye. Later, he entered the Wu family and gave it to his younger sister Xiaoman.

Although the soul is possessed, there is still a little familiar feeling in my mind.

In the empty room, except for a bed, there are only empty walls and the smell of dry thatch in the room.

Taking a closer look at the bed, the father really didn't pick it up. Looking at the old color of the quilt and mattress, it should be newly bought today. Could it be that the reason why the father was mysteriously called out by his mother and younger sister just now was because the quilt was not available? ?Feelings There are also shops selling quilts and mattresses in this village.

creak!

Guo Ye sat down on the bed made of wood, making the sound of boards swaying and hitting.

He patted the brand new quilt and mattress, and said to Wu Xiuxiu who was standing stiffly in the room, "Hehe, they are all newly bought, and they are clean. You can rest assured and sleep boldly."

Upon hearing the word "sleep", Wu Xiuxiu's body trembled for no reason, she bit her lips tightly and shook her head stubbornly, speechless.

Guo Ye saw that Wu Xiuxiu had lost the aura she had in Wu's house long ago, on the contrary she was still a little uneasy, and understood what she was worried about.

Seeing that her understanding today was generally concerned with the overall situation, Guo Ye had no intention of embarrassing her, and said: "Don't worry, you sleep in bed tonight, and I will go out and spread the hay on the ground, just make do with it for the night. Anyway, close it tightly The doors and windows can't be seen, and my parents don't know what's going on with us."

It is said that women are all made of water, and they look like this for a while, and look like that for a while.

Sure enough, Wu Xiuxiu, who was too reserved, felt a little sorry when Guo Ye offered to sleep on the floor, and asked softly, "It's very cold at night, can you bear it?"

When Guo Ye heard this, he couldn't help feeling confident in his heart, what do you mean you can stand it?

A man has to do it if he can do it, and he has to do it if he can't. Even if he really can't do it, he has to create conditions.

So with a big wave of his hand, he got up straight and said to Wu Xiuxiu: "Don't worry, I, Guo Ye, am not the kind of person who doesn't know how to measure. I said today that I will accept your love, and I will accept your love. I will sleep on the floor tonight and will never approach you." Half a minute away, sleep with you."

As he said that, he made a gesture to walk out of the door to move some hay into the house to lay the floor.

"stop!"

Suddenly, Wu Xiuxiu stopped him, frowned as if she had made a big decision, and said resolutely, "You should sleep together tonight."
