Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

He Xiaohua tiptoed into the main room, Yang Yaner glared at Xiaohua, and signaled Xiaohua to stand behind her.Xiao Hua was not happy, and hesitated to enter the house at the door, Yang Li smiled and pulled Xiao Hua over.

"This matter, the child's matter, if they think it's good, then I see, this matter can be done?" Boss He glanced at Yang Yan'er while talking, and saw that he just turned his body sideways, but did not make any other movements, and immediately felt guilty. Dading.

"Xiaohua..." Mu Sheng turned his gaze to He Xiaohua who was beside Yang Yan'er, "Xiaohua..." You are willing to be my husband.

Before Mu Sheng finished speaking, He Xiaohua shook her head like a rattle.The air in the main room was stagnant.Mu Sheng pursed his lips, and the old shopkeeper's gaze wandered, looking at Mu Sheng, and then at the members of the He family.Boss He seemed surprised by Xiaohua's reaction.Only Yang Yan'er turned around.

"Xiao Hua doesn't want to, please come back to Dong Mu's family."

"Xiaohua..." I didn't say it well last time. Why did he turn around and changed his appearance after a few days? Mu Sheng was anxious and wanted to ask Xiaohua alone, but due to the presence of the He family couple, this matter could not be done immediately. say clearly.

"I, it's not that I don't want to." He Xiaohua didn't seem to notice that the faces of the people in the main room changed as she opened her mouth, "Now, um, it's too early, I'm only ten years old." What a ten-year-old child should do What, the fourth grade of elementary school, she is going to get married now, He Xiaohua thinks that she can't accept it. "At least sixteen." Everyone's expressions changed again.But He Xiaohua thought in her heart that at the age of 16, she can get an ID card, and she is legally an adult, so it should be more normal to get married at the age of 16.What's more, there are still several years, which should be enough to cultivate a relationship with Mu Sheng, or love.He Xiaohua persisted a little in her heart.There is no doubt that Mu Sheng likes himself, but what about himself.Don't hate it, get used to Mu Sheng's existence, is it love?Xiaohua was very confused, he wanted to take another look and wait.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.Yang Yan'er and his wife had mixed feelings, Xiaohua shook her head because she didn't want to leave the house, it's rare that the child has a heart.But the old shopkeeper thought in his heart, when the little brother of the He family turned sixteen, the young master's family would already be twenty-four, and the kids from ordinary families would all run around all over the place.

Mu Sheng felt relieved.After all, Xiaohua accepted herself, but she still has to wait for six years. Thinking of the long time of six years, Mu Sheng's eyes darkened, and he looked at He Xiaohua with another meaning in his eyes.

He Xiaohua sideways turned her head away, "Well, I want to stay at home for a few more years and help Ah Mo take care of Xiaosi, um..." Xiaohua turned her head around, "I'll decide after sixteen."

"Hehe, that's fine." The old shopkeeper glanced at Mu Sheng from the corner of his eyes, saw him nodding slightly, and immediately smiled, "Get married first. The date of marriage will be fixed later. Brother He, do you think this is feasible?"

Yang Yan'er wiped the corners of her eyes, pulled Xiao Hua into Yang Li's room, and hugged Xiao Hua in her arms. My brother has grown up, unlike when he was just born, he could be hugged with one hand, but now he can barely hold her in his arms, "Xiao Hua , tell Ahmo the truth. The Mudong family's family background is good, but if you don't like it, Xiaohua, Ahma will definitely not marry you. Xiaohua, think about it carefully, do you want to have a child with the Mudong family? "

He Xiaohua lowered her head and played with the corner of her clothes, "Mu Sheng likes me, I don't hate him. I don't know if I like him or not, but when I can't see it, I think, it's okay when I see it. Well, I just got used to him .”

Yang Yan'er sighed inwardly, this kid usually looked smart, but he was a fool in this matter.These years, Mu Sheng often came and went in and out of He's house. Seeing that Mu Sheng was older, Yang Yan'er thought it was an older brother who treated him like a younger brother. Looking back now, she felt that she was careless.Xiao Hua seldom acted like a baby in front of her, but she saw him lose his temper and play around with Mu Sheng several times.Mu Sheng is very kind to He Xiaohua, and brings him all the delicious food, saying that he is trying new things, but it is hard to find people who are trying new things.The more Yang Yan'er thought about it, the more she felt that she was careless and left such a person behind.

"My brother can consummate the house at fourteen, but if you delay until sixteen, I don't know what the Mu family thinks." Since she is destined to marry, Yang Yan'er has to make good plans for her little brother.

"I don't care, I want sixteen."

"You child, why are you so ignorant." Yang Yan'er nodded Xiao Hua's head, "Don't just think about yourself, think about other people, Mu Dong's family, who are eighteen years old, and there is not even a waiter in the room. If, if He couldn't hold back anymore, so he ran to Qinlou Flower Street to see how you cry in the future."

Xiaohua pouted and didn't speak, but murmured in her heart, 14 years old, isn't this destroying the seedlings of the motherland?

"Look at Yang Li, she also got married at the age of 12 and consummated the house at the age of 14. Which brother in the village is not like this. Even if you are a gift from God, you can't get big."

"In short, if you agree to this matter, Ahma will make up your mind for you. If you want to stay at home for a few more years, Ahma also wants to keep you, so I will marry you at fourteen."

"Then I won't marry." Xiao Hua grumbled.

Yang Yan'er raised her eyebrows, why don't you marry, didn't she just say she wanted to. "Why do you have so many troubles, child. If you don't marry Mu Dong's family, it will be fine. Ah, I will choose another family for you."

He Xiaohua stomped her feet, turned her body away, and didn't look at Yang Yan'er.

Yang Yan'er doesn't care about him, and being married is no better than staying at home, "I'll go out and tell Mu Dong's family now, get married at fourteen. You will stay at home for four more years."

"fifteen."

"You child, you are buying vegetables in the market and haggling over prices." Yang Yan'er had a look of resentment.

He Xiaohua calculated, fourteen, actually it was thirteen, fifteen, actually fourteen, it was only the second day of junior high school.Thinking of this, He Xiaohua was afraid.

Yang Yan'er rolled her eyes, anyway, after hearing what Mu Sheng said, she lifted the curtain and walked out.He Xiaohua quickly followed up.In the main room, the old shopkeeper was talking about interesting things in the county and the prefecture, and the atmosphere was quite lively.When everyone saw Yang Yan'er coming out, they knew they had come to a conclusion.

"I'll get engaged first."

Mu Sheng smiled and nodded, "Okay."

"Get married. Just wait until Xiao Hua turns fifteen, and then make plans."

Mu Sheng's smile froze.

Yang Yan'er raised her eyebrows, "What do Dong's family mean?"

Mu Sheng smiled wryly in his heart. He had already waited for four years, so what if he waited for another five years.Then nodded, "Everything is arranged by He Mamo."

Yang Yan'er smiled with satisfaction.The old shopkeeper glanced sideways at the owner, remembering Fulang's confession, and thinking about how to go back to Fulang so as to clear up his relationship.

The He family left Mu Sheng and the old shopkeeper for dinner. After the lively dinner, the old shopkeeper and Mu Sheng returned to Zhushan to answer Jiang Fulang.

Jiang Fulang got the promise, although he didn't want Xiaohua Shiwu to marry, but Mu Sheng couldn't help but insisted, so he reluctantly agreed.Since autumn has already entered, the village will be busy with autumn harvest in the coming days, and then winter will follow.Jiang Fulang chose and chose, and felt that there were not many good days left in this year, so he decided to hold the engagement ceremony after the beginning of spring.He Mu and his family discussed it, and they thought it was a good idea, so they settled down.

He Xiaozhu wrote a letter to Xiaohu's family, roughly talking about Xiaohua's engagement.Ten days later, Xiaohu's reply letter arrived at Nanhe Village, and the letter only said two words, "I know."

The Liang family also got the news, and sent the youngest to ask. Yang Yan'er said that the children were interested in each other, and the elders had to let nature take its course.When the youngest heard this, his face turned pale.He Xiaohua felt guilty, seeing the youngest member of the Liang family leaving in a state of embarrassment, she thought, Liang Qi should get the news soon.After getting the news, he should give up.

With a long sigh, he remembered what Liang Qi had sent.He Xiaohua hurriedly looked for He Xiaosi, wanting to dig out the silver hairpin and the powder box.Unexpectedly, the little fourth ghost was very smart. When he saw the third brother grabbing him to find something in his pocket, he started to cry, crying so loudly.He Xiaohua had no choice but to let him go, and after thinking about it, she went to look for Xiao Si's cabinet again.The clothes and quilts were opened, and even the side seams of the cabinet were searched, but they could not be found.He Xiaohua couldn't help feeling worried.The makeup and powder box is okay, it can be said that it can be used, but the price of the silver hairpin is not cheap, and the safety talisman...

He Xiaohua bit her lip, she wanted He Xiaosi back no matter what.I can't afford to pay for this thing, and I can't even afford it.

After the busy autumn harvest, Boss He packed the silver rice and lotus root as usual, and took the fleet hired by Mu Sheng to Gyeongju Port.Things were going very smoothly, everything went according to previous years, but just before departure, He Xiaohua suddenly proposed to follow to Qingzhou Port to have a look.Yang Yan'er naturally disagreed, but Boss He had nothing to do, Mu Sheng was eager to agree.After several rounds of discussion, he still followed He Xiaohua's suggestion and asked Boss He to take Xiaohua on a trip.Yang Yan'er was worried, she was going to go with her, but one day before departure, Yang Li suddenly passed out in the kitchen, invited a doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, and found out she was pregnant.The He family was surprised and delighted.Yang Yan'er hurriedly offered incense to her ancestors.After Shen Memo heard the news, she also brought a lot of things and told Yang Li to take good care of her body, the first child is the most important thing.

Now Yang Yan'er couldn't leave, there was a Xiaosi who was under four years old, and a son-in-law who was not yet three months old.He Xiaozhu took care of the field and the shack all by himself, leaving all family matters to Yang Yan'er.

Boss He, He Xiaohua and Mu Sheng boarded the boat at Baisha Village the next day, and the boat entered Minjiang River via Baisha River.The big ship headed south with the wind and the water.It was the first time for He Xiaohua to travel far by boat when she came to this world. On the day the boat left the Minjiang River, she had to go to the bow of the boat to see the scenery.Boss He refused to let him go, "There are mostly men working on the boat, Xiao Hua, don't go out and cause trouble."

Xiao Hua pouts her mouth, reluctant to stay in the room.Fortunately, the room that Mu Sheng prepared for Xiaohua has a single sliding window, and when you open it, you can see the river view outside. Xiaohua mops a chair and leans on the window to watch.After coming here for ten years, Xiaohua's cognition of this world only stays in the area of ​​Nanhe Village, and the farthest is near the county seat.On the one hand, I came to Gyeongju Port to see the world, and on the other hand, I also wanted to find opportunities to spend more time with Mu Sheng.

The big boat was walking on the Minjiang River. Looking from the boat, we could only vaguely see the sparsely populated houses on the opposite bank.Most of the boats on the Minjiang River are big boats like Xiaohua's, and there are also smaller boats.Small boats are interspersed among big boats, so be careful to avoid them.The current on the river is gentle, and the boatmen speak various dialects, greeting each other and exchanging information.

Mu Sheng's boats were mixed in the Jinxiu Fleet. When the big ships on the Minjiang River saw the flag of the Jinxiu Fleet, some gave way, and some continued to go the same way.Only once, the Splendid Fleet gave way to a fleet with the flag of Mu.

"Is that your former fleet?"

"Yeah. It used to be." Mu Sheng nodded, his eyes only lingering on the Mu family's fleet for a moment, "Xiao Hua, put on this cloak." As he spoke, he took off the white cloak with dark patterns of pine and bamboo on his body, and put it on Xiao Hua's body , "Here are some ginger slices, if you feel uncomfortable, just put a slice of ginger in your mouth."

"This boat is very stable. Don't worry, I don't get seasick."

Mu Sheng put the ginger slices within He Xiaohua's reach, and asked people to come and tidy the bedding and pillows, "When you're tired, go to bed and have a rest. It's still a few days from here to Qingzhou Port. You can see it on the boat." It’s all those scenery, if you like it, when you arrive at Gyeongju Port, I’ll show you the famous foreigner’s wharf.”

"Foreigners Wharf?" He Xiaohua became interested, and wondered if the foreigners in this world were the same as the ones she knew before.

"Well, although Gyeongju Port is called a port, it is a prefectural city. There are two piers. The place where our ship berths is specially used to accommodate merchant ships from the ocean. There are other docks for merchant ships coming from the ocean. Specialized people speak the local dialect of Dayang and do business. There are a lot of novel and interesting things on Dayang. Sometimes the merchants there will bring some strange things over there, saying that they are edible, but no one here dares to eat them. Over time, the businessman over there rented a shop, threatening to supply a bag of seeds unconditionally to anyone who dares to find out how to eat these things.”

Mu Sheng noticed He Xiaohua's shining eyes, and continued, "I heard about this last year. I also went to that shop, and there are indeed a lot of things. They are all brightly colored fruits. I don’t know if anyone has the guts to eat it.”

"If you really know how to eat, don't you just send seeds?"

"It should be. The businessman made a promise. If you can't even do this, who dares to do business with the businessmen over there." Mu Sheng touched Xiao Hua's face, which was cool and smooth, like the most beautiful silk in the world, attracting her attention. People are reluctant to let go.

Xiao Hua turned her head to avoid it, "Then take me to have a look."

Mu Sheng nodded. "Okay, but you can't do the tasting."

He Xiaohua hummed disapprovingly, and continued to lie by the window to watch the scenery.Mu Sheng leaned on the bed, picked up the book, and slowly flipped through the pages.

The time of the day slipped away slowly like this.Xiaohua looked at the scenery for three days in a row, and got a little tired. She huddled on the bed and counted her fingers boringly. When she got tired of playing, she went to grab Mu Sheng's book to read.Mu Sheng let Xiao Hua snatch it, and found a few more travel notes and put them beside Xiao Hua's bed, so that he could read one and move on to the next one.

The success was so smooth that Xiaohua was unhappy again, and instead of reading other books, she only read the one Mu Sheng was holding in his hand.Mu Sheng hugged Xiao Hua, let him lie comfortably in his arms, opened the book, and recited softly.Most of the travel notes and essays that Mu Sheng read are about anecdotes and anecdotes that he saw on the road. He tells all kinds of small stories in plain language, which can not only increase his knowledge, but also be used as a leisure pastime.

The calm male voice, with ups and downs, added a touch of brilliance to the restless afternoon.Xiao Hua, who was lying in Mu Sheng's arms, realized that it was actually quite good.
