A Timely Wife

Chengdong was woken up by Li Ruosong. There were few people in the east courtyard, few servants, and even fewer maids. The people they used in the west courtyard belonged to the property of the west courtyard, so they would not come with them, so these few days Cheng Dong was served by Li Ruosong every day.

Li Bairen actually proposed to ask Li Guanshi to go outside to buy a few maids and servants, but Li Ruosong did not agree, because the family was short of money, and it would cost about 50 taels a year to raise a maid, which is not a small amount of expenses per month. Clothes for the four seasons have to be distributed twice a year, and other jewelry and gifts are also necessary. When the money is not abundant, Li Ruosong would rather do it himself.

Li Huangshi left Lihua to wait by her side, Limei sent Li Chenshi's errands, and Li Bairen's servant and long follower also assigned one to Li Guoliang, and the others remained unchanged, there was only one courtyard with three entrances. , it’s not that big, so naturally there is no need for additional manpower.

The time to return is usually Si time, that is, between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the morning. It stands to reason that you can sleep more, but the newcomers who return to the door have to dress up, just like when they entered the door. Makeup is also on the face, of course, this is for women.

On weekdays, Li Ruosong and Chengdong would wear blue or black clothes. On the day they returned home, they could not wear these colors of clothes but had to wear bright red clothes. The clothes of the four were sent over by someone from the west courtyard yesterday, and they probably looked down on them, because all valuable items were left in the west courtyard.

Li Guoliang and Li Chen's don't care. After all, Li Chen's dowry has nothing left except those beds and cabinets. I just feel sorry for Chengdong. Chengdong's dowry is worth three or four thousand taels anyway. If you don't want it, you don't want it. You know, the dowry is the capital to establish yourself in your husband's family.

But Chengdong himself didn't care. Instead, he comforted Li Guoliang and Li Chenshi, saying that money is something outside of the body, and you don't bring it with you when you die. He and Li Ruosong have hands and feet. No money.

This attitude surprised Li Guoliang and Li Chenshi. They thought that according to Chengdong's temperament, his son would not be able to make a living in this life. Whether he is an official or a businessman, if the family is not stable, then there is nothing to say Well, going into business is just a loss of capital, as long as you are alive, you can find a way to make a comeback, but if you are an unvirtuous mistress of an official family, if something happens, even the nine clans will be killed.

Fortunately, that Chengdong was unwilling to marry, so he found a Shuang'er who looked quite similar to himself to marry into the Li family. In the past few days, they saw that although Chengdong was a bit straightforward, he was also a kind person and treated others well. He is very kind, and treats himself as an old couple with filial piety. If this person is not pretending, then their family can be regarded as a lucky one, and they made a good marriage to their son by accident.

Putting on the clothes that Mrs. Li Chen had prepared for them, both of them were dressed in bright red dresses, which made people feel festive when viewed from a distance. Li Bairen and Li Guoliang, who were waiting in the main hall early in the morning, saw the two walking together , very satisfied.Both of them are good-looking, one is handsome, the other is exquisite, and their every move is full of affection. It seems that the young couple get along well. The busy elders spend most of their lives trying to make the younger generation happy. Now the two of them are living their lives If you are happy, the elders will be happy.

Since it was almost time to return to the door, Mrs. Li Chen didn't say much, and poured a glass of wine for each of them with her own hands. After the person left the gate, there was already a coachman waiting at the gate. Seeing Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong approaching, he quickly jumped down to draw the curtain for them.

"Eldest young master, eldest young husband, please get into the carriage." The attitude was very attentive.

Li Ruosong smiled lightly and said, "Thank you."

The coachman quickly replied: "It's all small things that should be done, I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Li Ruosong nodded, turned around and helped Chengdong up first. Chengdong didn't want to be helped into the carriage like this, but he also knew that he couldn't refute Li Ruosong's face in front of outsiders, so Chengdong went ahead awkwardly. sat in.

After Chengdong sat firmly, Li Ruosong followed into the compartment. The compartment was not big, and the two sat very close to each other. Chengdong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of being intimate with another man in public, Cheng Dong felt like his face was on fire.

However, Li Ruosong still touched his hand from time to time, or leaned close to him and kissed his face. Cheng Dong felt that if he didn't know that he couldn't beat Li Ruosong, he would definitely kick him down.

"Hey, what, I see that the two young men mentioned a lot of things just now, and that is the return ceremony?" Cheng Dong said without words.

"Yes, there are four gifts for returning home. There are two boxes of snacks, two cans of wine, two chickens and two boxes of tea. These must be prepared when returning home. There should be other gifts for father-in-law, mother-in-law and all the younger siblings. Considering that you are not close to everyone in your family, so there is no preparation, as long as you can get by in general."

Chengdong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "They are strangers to me, and I feel that I am too prepared for the four rituals. Wait a minute, you just said four rituals, but I think there are eight boxes. "

"When you leave, you have to bring one copy back, and you always prepare two copies." Li Ruosong explained.

"That's good, and it doesn't hurt too much. You yell first later, and I will yell after you. Mom and Dad still have to yell. As for the others, I am impatient to deal with them. By the way, just eat a meal." Let's go? Don't you need to do anything else?"

"No, you can come back after dinner. You can speak if you want, and it's fine if you don't want to."

"One more thing, I don't have to go to Cheng's house to stay often in the future, in case they tell me to go back or something, do I have to listen?"

"You don't have to. After returning to the door, according to the rules, if your natal family doesn't come to pick you up, you can't go back. Even if someone comes to pick you up, it depends on whether I agree with you to go back, so if you don't want to go back, just tell me That's right."

Chengdong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm scared to death. If I have to go back often, I really don't know how to deal with it."

Li Ruosong raised his hand and pinched Chengdong's face, "Everything is up to me, so what are you afraid of?"

Chengdong rolled his eyes, "I'm not afraid of others, but you."

Li Ruosong leaned into Cheng Dong's ear and said, "Fu Lang blames me for not working hard yesterday?"

Cheng Dong's face turned red, he pushed Li Ruosong away, gritted his teeth and asked, "You still have to be shameless, this is on the street."

Li Ruosong looked innocent, "I'm already very quiet, I can't hear you outside."

Cheng Dong gritted his teeth and decided to go back to kill the beast at night.

Seeing Chengdong grinding his teeth angrily, Li Ruosong couldn't help but smile. He's not the kind of person who can't figure out what's wrong, but he just thinks that if Chengdong's attention is not distracted, he will be worried all the way. .

It's just that there's no need for Chengdong to know about these things, he just hopes that Chengdong can live as heartlessly as he is now, laugh when he's happy, show him face when he's unhappy, do whatever he wants, and have no scruples about himself He will protect him and accompany him until death separates them.
