Song female man

Mrs. Liu got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the bed where Shunniang was lying. Seeing that she was still lying with her back facing the wall, she wanted to stretch out her hand to wake her up, but on second thought, Shunniang asked to marry Xie Erniang to come in. The matter was already absurd, and it was too humiliating for him to put down his dignity and condescend to her.

With a curl of her lips, she withdrew her hand and went downstairs.

There was no one in the main room downstairs, so she went to the kitchen in the backyard and saw her daughter-in-law Qi, carrying Huier on her back, making a meeting, and Kecheng sitting in front of the stove, stuffing firewood into the stove, because he was too young to He doesn't know how to start a fire, so he throws some firewood in and stuffs it up, smoke comes out from the stove from time to time, filling the kitchen with smoke, Qi coughs and tells Ke Cheng not to light the fire, he doesn't need his help for this job.

Mrs. Liu took two steps forward, hugged Kecheng away, let him go out to play, and then took out some firewood from the stove to make the fire burn more smoothly.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming down, Mrs. Qi was overjoyed, so she told Mrs. Liu that he had cooked her and Shunniang's meal and had noodles at night, and she was making noodles.

Mrs. Liu nodded, and while lighting the fire, Mrs. Qi said that she owed Shunniang, and she was too old to enjoy Shunniang's blessings, so she took it upon herself to bear it.

"Where's Uncle?" Mrs. Qi looked at the yard outside the kitchen. She thought that her mother-in-law had come down, and her uncle might have come down too. As long as the old and the young don't make trouble, she, the one caught in the middle, will have a better life too much.Don't want to, looked outside, but didn't see Shunniang's figure, Qi muttered in his heart, could it be that the mother and daughter are still arguing?

Mrs. Liu said that Shunniang was still on top, and she didn't know if she was sleeping or continuing to be angry with her. She asked Mrs. Qi to go up and ask Shunniang to come down for dinner.

Mrs. Qi said hello, she quietly glanced at her mother-in-law, trying to see from her face that she and Shunniang were fighting, who won, and whether the mother-in-law continued to disagree with Shunniang marrying Xie Erniang, or had already agreed.However, neither joy nor frustration could be seen on Liu's face, so Qi couldn't judge who was the winner in this mother-daughter fight.

After kneading the noodles and cutting the noodles, and washing some vegetable leaves, the water was boiled, so Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Qi to go upstairs and asked Shunniang to come down to eat, and she came to cook the noodles.

Mrs. Qi agreed, went out of the kitchen, walked across the yard, entered the house, went upstairs, and walked up to the bed where Shunniang was lying. She looked around and saw that Shunniang was asleep facing the wall, with a calm expression on her face. .

Hey, the mother-in-law is making such a fuss, but she is fine and sleeps soundly, thinking so, Mrs. Qi slightly shook her head.

"Uncle, it's time to eat." Mrs. Qi gently pushed Shunniang's shoulder, and Mrs. Shun hummed, her eyes continued to be closed. Mrs. Qi pushed her a few more times helplessly, now with more strength, and called her to eat The voice is also louder.

Shun Niang just opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes, turned over and sat up, first glanced at the opposite bed, saw that the bed was empty, and asked Qi: "Where is Mother?"

Mrs. Qi replied: "I'm cooking in the kitchen downstairs. She asked the servants to come up and ask you to go down to eat."

"Oh." As soon as one foot of Shun Niang got off the bed and touched the shoe on the floor, she shrank back, lay down again and pulled the quilt over her body and said, "Tell my mother that I don't want to eat, she doesn't want to be hungry. dead, but I thought."

"What?" Qi's eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at Shunniang in disbelief. She didn't expect that Shunniang would beat her up and threaten her mother-in-law with a hunger strike, "Oh, uncle, why are you so stubborn? Ah, my mother-in-law has already made water-sliding noodles, if you don’t eat them, the noodles will get mushy in a while.”

Shunniang continued: "You guys eat, I really don't want to eat, I can't marry Xie Erniang, I don't want to live, what else do I want to eat."

Mrs. Qi frowned when she heard the words, and persuaded Shunniang a few more words, but Shunniang remained silent.

She had no choice but to go downstairs and hurried into the kitchen to report the situation to Mrs. Liu, saying that Shun Niang was in trouble and refused to come down to eat, and that she didn't want to live if she couldn't marry Xie Erniang.

At that time, Mrs. Liu had already made noodles, scooped them up and put them in a bowl. After hearing Mrs. Qi's words, she said angrily, "She wants to toss, let her toss, let's eat ours!"

After finishing speaking, he went into the main room with a bowl of noodles, sat at the dining table, picked up chopsticks and ate the noodles. Mrs. Qi made two trips to serve his own noodles, Shunniang's noodles, and Kecheng's noodles. coming.Kecheng looked at Shunniang's bowl of noodles when he picked up the noodles and asked Qi, "What about second uncle, doesn't he eat noodles? If you don't eat for a while, it will get mushy and it won't taste good."

Mrs. Qi asked him to stop talking and eat his own, then put Hui'er off his back, hugged her to sit on his lap, ate a chopstick of noodles by himself, and picked some for Hui'er to eat.

Mrs. Liu buried her head and ate half a bowl, then looked at Shunniang's bowl of noodles that was getting less and less hot, finally couldn't help it, gritted her teeth, and slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table, He stood up and walked upstairs angrily.

Shunniang heard the sound of going upstairs in the bed, and couldn't help but hook her lips. She knew that it was her old mother who couldn't help going upstairs, and it probably meant good news. As long as she pretended to be pretending, so she closed her eyes...

Mrs. Liu came upstairs, walked directly to Shunniang, and pushed her shoulder vigorously: "Get up, go down to eat!"

Shunniang didn't say a word, nor opened her eyes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu stood there silently for a while, and finally said softly, "Go down and eat the noodles, and we'll talk after eating."

When Shunniang heard this, she was overjoyed, she had a good idea, she opened her eyes, got up and asked Liu Shi: "Mother, did you promise me? Give me a promise."

Liu Shi nodded with a wooden face.

Shunniang couldn't help laughing anymore, she got out of bed and held the old lady's face in her hands and slapped her, praising her for being a good mother, when she married Xie Erniang and came in, the two of them honored her together, and she also wanted to earn more money. Let her enjoy the future.

Mrs. Liu wiped her face, reached out and gave Shunniang a finger on the forehead, saying that she was an enemy and that she must have owed her in her previous life.

Shunniang laughed, and she went to hold the old lady's arm and walked downstairs together. Mrs. Liu broke free and told her to stop flattering and go down to eat noodles.

The mother and daughter came downstairs, and Shun Niang sat at the table with a smile all over her face, picking up the chopsticks and eating the noodles in big mouthfuls, while Mrs. Liu, with an unidentifiable expression, picked up the half-eaten bowl of noodles and slowly ate them. I ate up the rest of the noodles.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qi probably guessed that this was her mother-in-law who had never been stubborn to Shunniang, and agreed to let Shunniang let Xie Erniang in. Suddenly, she also had mixed feelings, thinking that she usually eats the water-slippery noodles that taste good. Eating it now is like rotten wood and dregs.

Only when Ke Cheng saw Shun Niang eating noodles, he also stuttered. He wanted to compete with Shun Niang to see who would finish eating first. The two aunts and nephews ate happily.

After eating the noodles, Shunniang helped her sister-in-law clean up the dishes, took them to the kitchen to wash the dishes with the noodle soup, and went to fetch water to boil the bean sprouts and soak the beans for tomorrow.After finishing her work, Shun Niang went into the house and sat next to the old lady, and said: "If the mother has nothing to say, please ask the old lady to see a good day, and find a matchmaker to go to Xie's house to make a deal."

Liu said: "Why panic? Wait until the weather warms up."

Shun Niang became unhappy, and said: "If you are like this, then I will find Huang Li to choose a date, and then I will ask a matchmaker to go to Xie's house to make a decision."

Liu glanced at her: "Do you still have me as a mother in your heart? This marriage has always been the order of your parents. According to the matchmaker, my mother is not dead yet, so you are in a hurry to find a matchmaker yourself. Have you made a decision to go to Xie's house to propose marriage?"

Shunniang told the truth: "But I want to settle down with Erniang quickly. If I don't, I don't know what to do, and I don't have the energy to work. Since the mother has already agreed, why delay the child's wish? Mother is going to reach Ji in three months, and the boy promised her that he will marry her when she reaches Ji. If you really want to marry her when she reaches Ji, there is still more than a month left, so if we don’t make an appointment sooner, how will there be time?"

"She wants you to marry her when she reaches the age of Ji?" Mrs. Liu frowned and asked.

Shunniang was afraid that Mrs. Liu would misunderstand that Xie Erniang hated to marry, and she couldn't wait, which would easily make people think that this woman was not pure, so she hurriedly said: "This is what I meant. I told her, and she agreed. Okay, mother, let me go." Take Huang Lilai, take a look and help me choose a date, and I will trouble you about finding a matchmaker."

After finishing speaking, he went to take the almanac and read it with Mrs. Liu, and read it to her while reading it, which day is suitable for marriage, groundbreaking and kissing, etc.

In the end, the mother and daughter chose two dates, one being the 23rd of the first month and the other being the 28th of the first month.

Mrs. Liu said that the 28th of the first month is better, but Shunniang thinks that the 23rd of the first month is better, because the 23rd of the first month is the day when Xie Erniang turned 15 and became a child.It was the best thing to make a decision two months before she reached Ji, and to marry her two months after she reached Ji.

After another argument, Mrs. Liu was bought by the silver hairpin inlaid with pearls brought out by Shunniang. It turned out that Shunniang took the pearl that was left in Lu Quan's makeup box and took it to a jewelry shop in the city to make it. The hairpin was just brought back today, and I haven't had time to give it to Mrs. Liu.Now he took it out to please Mrs. Liu, and as soon as Mrs. Liu liked it, she agreed with Shunniang. On the 23rd of this month, she would find a matchmaker to go to Xie's house and make a kiss.Shunniang immediately became happy, and asked Mrs. Liu what she needed to prepare for the next job. She went to the city in the next few days to buy it back.

Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "Our family is not very rich, so let's come according to the dowry gifts that ordinary families in this town need to prepare. You go and get a pen and paper, and I tell you to remember..."

"Okay!" Shunniang excitedly went to get a pen and paper, sat down at the table again, and wrote down what the old lady said.

Mrs. Qi finished all the work in the kitchen and the room where the seeds were grown, and when she came back to the room, she saw Shun Niang under the lamp writing the dowry gift for Xie's family with a smile on her face. Wow cool.She was not in the mood to sit in front of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, watching the two of them talk and write one by one, seriously discussing the betrothal gift.So I took the two children to wash their faces and feet, and took the two of them upstairs to sleep.

Lying in the bed where Shunniang still smelled, she managed to hold back her sadness from crying just now, and turned to look at the two children who were laughing and joking in the bed. Her mood It seems to be better because of the smiling faces of the two children.

Shunniang tossed and turned that night and was so happy that she couldn't sleep. I don't know if it was because she fell asleep in the afternoon or because she came out successfully. The old lady agreed that she would marry Erniang Xie, and set a date and wrote down what dowry gifts would be too much. excited.In short, she tossed and turned on the bed, and didn't fall asleep until midnight, but just fell asleep for a while, the pig screaming from the Xie's killing room next door woke her up.Turning over, she went to light the oil lamp, put on her clothes, and then took out the gift list written by her old lady and read it.Last night, after calculating how much these betrothal gifts would cost, Shunniang went to the jar in the corner of the room and took five pennies of money out. She wrapped the money in the piece of paper that Sister Song Yu had wrapped her clothes in, and put it in a bundle. to bed.She planned to go to the city today and bring the money to prepare.

Although she didn't close her eyes all night, Shunniang was in good spirits. She went to the kitchen in the backyard to light the lamp, took a bucket, opened the gate on the fence between Xi's house and Xie's house, and went to fetch water.

As soon as the water was pumped up, she heard a sound of stepping on the snow. Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head...

A person stared at him nervously with big shining eyes. Before she could speak, Shunniang said, "Er Niang? Why did you wake up so early again? Didn't I tell you that it was cold in the morning? Shall I let you sleep more?"

Xie Erniang grabbed Shunniang's sleeve, pulled her into the shadow of the wall, and said anxiously: "I can't sleep, I tossed and turned all night last night, just thinking about what you said yesterday that you wanted to marry your mother." Talking about our affairs, I don’t know if I can convince your mother. It’s easy to hear that the pigs are being slaughtered in the killing room below, and there is movement on your side, so I hurried down. You... Did you tell your mother? ah?"

It turned out that Xie Erniang saw Shunniang's normal face, and thought that Shunniang was afraid and didn't tell Liu that she wanted to marry her.

Shunniang wanted to deliberately tease Erniang Xie, so she said, "So what if you say it? So what if you don't say it?"

Xie Erniang heard what Shunniang said, and the hand that was holding Shunniang's arm suddenly tightened, panicked, and asked her: "Are you afraid? You dare not say it?"

Shunniang saw that her brows were filled with sorrow, her eyes were not closed all night, and her face was haggard, so she couldn't bear to tease her any longer, instead she hugged her into her arms and whispered in her ear: "For You, there is nothing in this world that I dare not do. Listen carefully, I told my mother yesterday, she also made a fuss at the beginning, but she didn't make trouble with me, and finally she agreed. And I also challenged with her It’s the 23rd of this month. It’s an auspicious day. I’ve even decided on some dowry gifts. I’ll buy them when I go to the city today. Go back and wait, my mother won’t be long. The matchmaker I found will come to the door."

As soon as these words were said, Xie Erniang pushed Shunniang away at once, looked up at her and asked excitedly: "Is this true, is it true, you didn't coax me, did you?"

Shunniang kissed her lightly on the forehead, looked into her eyes, and said affectionately: "Of course it's true, I dare not coax you."

Xie Erniang laughed twice, then choked up, with tears in her eyes, she kept saying it was great, it was great.

Shunniang shook her shoulders, smiled and said to her: "Our good life has just begun, just wait, I will make your life more nourishing and happier than anyone else in the future. Okay, you go back and settle down." Let's sleep soundly and soundly. I have a lot of things to do here. Come back in the afternoon and we will talk again. By the way, even if my mother agrees, don't go there when I'm not around. She still feels a little unhappy. I'm afraid that she will make things difficult for you. After a while, it will be fine when she figures it out. "

Xie Erniang nodded heavily, saying that she listened to Shunniang, Shunniang patted her head, then pushed her, signaling her to go back quickly, Xie Erniang turned her head three times and went back with a smile on her lips.

Shunniang went back with water, and found that her sister-in-law had already started the fire in the kitchen. She got up later than usual today. Usually, when Shunniang got up and went to the backyard, Qi had already carried a load of water, and started to boil water early.Seeing Mrs. Qi sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire, her dejected look was also different from when she was smiling, Shunniang couldn't help feeling a little worried, so she asked her what's wrong, if she was sick.

Qi squeezed out a smile and said that she was fine, and Shun Niang didn't have to worry about herself.

Shunniang poured water into the large kitchen water tank, glanced at her sister-in-law again, and felt that her sister-in-law had something on her mind, but since she didn't want to say it, she couldn't force her to say it, so she continued to work silently.

Busy until the end of Yinshi, Shunniang had breakfast and went to the city to deliver the students as usual.

After delivering the seeds, she and Shitou went to Xiaojiao shop for lunch. She happily told Shitou that she was going to get married in a few months, and she would marry the little lady she liked as his wife.

Shitou listened, congratulated her first, and then said that Shunniang was a fool, instead of marrying the rich and beautiful Song Yu, she married a butcher's daughter. Could it be that she disliked that Song Yu, who was not a virgin girl, and had sex with other men? Have children?

Shunniang gave him a shudder on the head, saying that she had never thought about what Shitou said, and she warned Shitou not to speak ill of Sister Song Yu. The only reason she married Xie Erniang was because she felt that Xie Erniang's heart was closer to her own. close.

Shitou stuck out his tongue and suffered from Shunniang's violent shudder, saying that he didn't dare to talk about Sister Song Yu anymore, but he still murmured in his heart that a heart is the most empty thing, and a pig's heart at a meat stall costs only twenty yuan. People's hearts are worth more, at most two thousand Wen, and Sister Song Yu's net worth, no matter what, must be worth hundreds of two thousand Wen...

In a word, Second Brother Xi is so stupid when it comes to women!

Shunniang swept away all her meals a few times, and stopped chatting with Shitou, thinking that she must hurry to buy a betrothal gift.

After lunch, she parted ways with Shitou, and Shunniang went to find shops selling dowry gifts.She always chooses according to the good ones, after all, this is her wedding, no matter whether she wears it before or after, it is the first time for her.

The Wuguan money was easily spent, but she hadn't bought all the dowry gifts yet, which was beyond her plan.

Shunniang reckoned that she would need three or four pennies to finish the purchase, and she would have to go back to get the money, so her old lady would have to complain again.

Who cares about her, this marriage is once in a lifetime, of course it is to point to a good one, not to make Xie Erniang feel wronged, at most it is to spend money and work hard to earn it back.

Shunniang asked the shopkeeper to wrap up all the things she bought and put them on the bullock cart, and then tied them up again. Looking at the weather, it was time to go back to Yangliu Town.

When driving the bullock cart along the street leading to Sunrise City to the gate of the city, Shunniang was stopped by someone. Among the four or five people who stopped him, a few of them looked like able-bodied men who looked like officials and wealthy families. .

Shunniang raised her eyebrows and asked them: "It's so bright and bright, what are you doing to stop me? Could it be that you want to rob people at the foot of this official house?"

Among those few people, one came forward and bowed to Shun Niang, said with a smile: "Xi Erlang, don't be angry, we have no malicious intentions, we are just entrusted by others, please follow us to see him, He just wanted to tell you something."

When Shunniang heard the person in front of her calling her Xi Erlang, she couldn't help being startled, and looked at the person carefully from top to bottom, and soon remembered that this person was sent by Song Gui a few months ago to stop her and told her to follow him. He went to meet Song Gui's people in a hotel cubicle.

After figuring out the identity of the person in front of her, Shunniang thought about it. It seems that Song Gui asked her to talk to her again. Didn't she promise him not to associate with Sister Song Yu last time, and did not send seeds to Sister Song Yu's store again? ?Now that he found himself again, could it be that he knew that he went to see Sister Song Yu yesterday and sent seeds to her shop, so he was unhappy and asked someone to take him for questioning, or clean him up?

Thinking of this, Shunniang decided to meet Song Gui soon and make it clear to him that if he didn't want to have any more contact with Sister Song Yu, she would break off relations with Sister Song Yu completely in the future.

"Let's go, take me to see Song Dalang." Shunniang said to the leader.

The man was kind, and immediately led the way, Shunniang turned the ox cart, and followed those people back to the city. After half an hour, the man stopped at the entrance of a rather large tea house with Shunniang, and then Mother handed over the bullock cart to the man in the tea house, and asked him to guard the cart and the things on it for her, and then threw a few pennies to him as a reward.

Followed the people in front into this teahouse, turned eastward and westward inside, walked into a room with elegant decoration and many literati calligraphy on the wall, and saw sitting in front of a coffee table drinking leisurely. Song Gui of tea.The leader went up and whispered something in Song Gui's ear. Song Gui waved his hand to signal him to back down after listening, and the man retreated respectfully.

"Here, take a seat." Then Song Gui greeted Shunniang without raising his head, and asked her to sit down at the coffee table opposite him.

Those who brought Shunniang closed the door and retreated outside.

Shunniang sat down at the coffee table opposite Song Gui as she said, and before she could speak, Song Gui had slowly raised his head to look at Shunniang, asking her how the year was going?

"Brother Song is very concerned, my younger brother is having a good year." Shunniang replied, and then continued, "Brother Song, I went to see Mrs. Song on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. She invited me to go. As for sending seeds to her shop It was also her request. I wanted to cut off contact with her completely, but Mrs. Song insisted. The little brother didn't mean to violate the words promised to Brother Song, it's just..."

Song Gui interrupted Shunniang before she finished speaking, looked at Shunniang with a smile on her face and said, "Today I sent someone to stop you at the gate of the city, I came here not to let you stop being with my sister, nor because I am unhappy You are going to send Zhongsheng to the main store of the Song family, but I want to tell you a happy event."

Shun Niang frowned: "Happy event?"

What Song Gui said was completely beyond Shunniang's expectations, but she didn't believe that Song Gui would tell her something happy when he found her, so she didn't look forward to it, on the contrary she felt a little uneasy.

After a pause, Song Gui slowly opened his mouth: "It is indeed a happy event, whether it is for you or my sister. My sister has been a widow for several years, and I, the eldest brother, secretly worry about her. Lifetime. I know she likes you, even when Han Ya Nei wanted to marry her, she never let you go. You must have heard about Han Ya Nei. He is the one who is destined to be married to my sister. So, I have decided that I will do my best to help you and my sister form a happy relationship. You can set a price, how much money you want before you are willing to join our Song family, just say it. By the way, don’t Tell me that you don't want to, if you don't want to, I, Song Gui, can't guarantee that you are fine, your family is fine, you have to think it over, and then answer me..."
