There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

"The auspicious time has come! Let the bride get on the sedan chair—"

When the time finally came, Jiang Jinshu put on the red hijab and stepped on the red wedding sedan chair carried to the door of the room with the sound of firecrackers.It is quite a distance from the county town to Sijia Town, and the Xijiao only takes a short distance. When you leave the county town, you change cars, and you don’t change sedan chairs until you are about to enter the town.

Jiang Jinshu is the bride, just sit still and take care of other things.

After sending the sedan chair out, the Jiang family turned around, and there were relatives, friends and guests who came to congratulate him to entertain them.Originally, according to the custom, the Jiang family had to send someone to see off their relatives, but earlier the Jiang family changed this on the grounds that the distance was inconvenient. Jiang Jun, Jiang Qi, and Ma Wenxuan from the second room rode to see each other off, and stopped when they left the county. .

Seeing that the Gu family who were picking up the marriage had gone away, Jiang Jun said, "Let's go back."

Jiang Qi was the first to turn the horse's head, feeling sorry for Liu Ye'er.

Only Ma Wenxuan kept frowning: "That Gu Ting..."

"My cousin still has the same temperament, the most soft-hearted." Ma Jun smiled indifferently: "The fourth younger sister has a bad reputation. If she doesn't marry Gu Ting, she may be led to practice in a few years. I'm looking at this door The marriage is good, the Gu family is a kind person, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the fourth younger sister will not be able to suffer when she goes."

Ma Wenxuan didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that if the Gu family was really that good, it wouldn't be the fourth cousin who went there.

Unavoidably missed the auspicious time of worship, the welcoming team walked faster all the way, even though bedding was laid in the carriage, it was still unavoidably bumpy.After taking a break on the way, he rushed to Chunshan Town in one breath.It was Chenshi when we set off from the county seat, and it was Youzheng when we arrived at Zhenzikou, and we walked for five and a half hours.In normal times, this journey would only take three or four hours by car, but they are a wedding reception team, carrying boxes and things, and if someone stops on the road at any time, they have to give them wedding candy, which will inevitably delay time, so they are in a hurry on the road. I would rather have more time to spare, so as not to miss it.

When approaching the town, the speed of the carriages and horses slowed down.

The auspicious time for the ancients to get married and visit the hall was at dusk when the bride had to go in at the auspicious time, so the convoy walked slowly, entered the town, and walked around the town along the main street.

Chunshan Town is a small town surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is picturesque in spring, hence the name "Chunshan Town".

There are four major surnames in the town: Chen, Gu, Li and Yang.

The Chen family is the largest merchant in the town and runs several large shops, the largest rice store is the foundation of the Chen family.The Li family and the Yang family are local squires who own a large area of ​​fertile land, and many of the surrounding people are tenants of the land of their two families.The Gu family is an ancestral family of farming and studying. It is said that the ancestors of the Gu family also served as officials. When they were in their heyday, the family had a hundred hectares of fertile land. All come from the fields.

Compared with the four families, the three families of Chen, Li, and Yang are thriving and prosperous, with a large number of people, while the Gu family has the smallest number of people. However, because Mr. Gu has a reputation as a scholar, he married the daughter of a scholar. It was also a good story in the town back then.It is not easy to produce a scholar in a small town. There are four donated academies in the town, and the first teacher to sit in the academies is Mr. Gu.

After all, she was going to marry into the Gu family, and the Jiang family didn't care, but Aunt Xu and the others searched for someone to inquire carefully.Because of the distance, I only know the approximate population, which family is related, how they usually behave, etc., Jiang Jinshu thought about the personalities of each house and each person, so as to make a foundation first.

Suddenly there was a burst of firecrackers, and Aunt Xu reminded from outside the sedan chair: "Miss, the Gu family has arrived."

When the sedan chair landed, someone raised the curtain of the sedan chair, Liu Ye'er and Cao Zhu'er supported her down from the left and right, and Mrs. Xi led the way with a smile.Only Xi Pozi yelled "The bride crosses the brazier". Under Liu Ye'er's reminder, Jiang Jinshu stepped over the brazier placed at the gate, and then stuffed a piece of red silk in her hand. On the other end was the groom Gu Ting. Leading, all the way through the gate, into the wedding hall.

Now Jiang Jinshu has no cultivation base, but she still has her spiritual sense. Because she has no cultivation base and the environment is unfamiliar, she dare not use it casually.The line of sight was blocked by the hijab, and only the surrounding noise could be heard.Undoubtedly, there were many people who came to the wedding, and her five senses, which had been washed by spiritual energy, were very keen. Even though her voice was noisy, she still heard many people talking about her reputation as a bride who was celibate.

"Auspicious time-"

All was quiet.

Jiang Jinshu bowed three times as instructed, and then was sent to the wedding room amidst the noise.The wedding room was full of people, most of them were female relatives from several rooms of the Gu family, and each family led boys and girls, frolicking and making a scene, which was extremely lively.Someone pushed the groom to the bride and joked:

"Four Treasures, you have married a new bride, quickly take off the Xipazi and see if the new bride looks good."

"Oh, our four treasures have also grown up, and we all know how to be shy."

"Fourth uncle, look at the bride! Look at the bride!"

Four treasures?

In Mr. Gu's generation, the Gu family only had a single seedling, but there were several family members living far and wide. Afterwards, they were very excited to have three sons and two daughters, which means that their own branch has flourished again.Gu Ting is the fourth among the brothers, "Four Treasures" is probably a nickname, just like Jia always called her "Four Girls" when she was a child.

Xi said that he stretched it out, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

The first thing Jiang Jinshu saw was the person standing in front of her. Although she had heard Cao Zhuer say that Gu Ting was good, she was still a little surprised.At first glance, the red robe and black hair, the face like a crown jade, handsome and elegant, anyone who sees it will have to praise her good looks!But at this time, he was smiling all over his face, a little dumbfounded, a little naive, blinding those sentimental peach blossom eyes for nothing.

According to her first glance, this Gu Ting is not like the rumored fool.

Suddenly realized that as a newcomer, his reaction was too flat, and it was rude to stare at Gu Ting, so he withdrew his gaze and pretended to smile shyly.Her appearance is not vulgar, and today is a good day, she is dressed very beautifully, with this shy smile with her head bowed, she is like a pearl dizzy, so dazzling that people can't keep their eyes open.

Everyone in the room was full of compliments, and Gu Ting was even teased by those who made a fuss: "Sibao, does the new daughter-in-law look good?"

Gu Ting looked at Jiang Jinshu without blinking his eyes, and when he heard someone ask, he was a little too late to answer honestly: "It looks good."

The female relatives laughed, and a few naughty nephews from the same race squeezed in outside. While marveling at the beauty of the bride, they envied Gu Ting for his foolish fortune, so they encouraged him not to be outdone, "Fourth uncle/fourth brother, four Auntie must be thirsty, pour some water for Fourth Aunt."

The other quickly answered: "Yes, yes, yes, the fourth aunt is a boudoir lady in her natal family, and there are people serving tea and rice, and the fourth brother has to be in pain after marrying a daughter-in-law. This tea can only be called painful if you feed it to your mouth yourself. Four Brother, will you? No, we can do it for you!"

Everyone in the Gu family knew that although the bride's fate was not good, her father was a member of the third rank. Even if the Jiang family is not as good as before, the uncle is also the magistrate.Chunshan Town is a small place, and the biggest official in the town is the village chief, but in ancient times, the imperial power did not come down to the county, and there were two village chiefs in the town, who were elected gentry.Many people have never been out of the town in their entire lives, seeing the head of the village is like seeing the old man, how can they imagine that the four idiots of the Gu family can marry the daughter of a high official's family.

Jiang Jinshu just lowered her head and pretended to be shy, thinking that the ancients were limited in their struggles.

But Gu Ting saw that everyone was chatting lively, he just stood there laughing, looking at this, looking at that, a little at a loss.Fortunately, everyone knows his details, and they have been used to watching him since they were young. Now the booing is firstly for excitement, and secondly, to vent envy and jealousy.

"Aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters, the banquet is about to start, let's all go to the table. Our nephew and daughter-in-law are newcomers, and they are thin-skinned. She has been tired for a day, and let her take a breath. Let the young couple go one by one tomorrow morning." Please kowtow to all the elders." A 50-[-]-year-old cool woman came in outside the door, wearing a crimson-purple long gown and an indigo horse-face skirt that was probably new, entertaining relatives in the house with a smile on her face.

The one who spoke was Gu's eldest aunt, Mrs. Gao.

The Gu family did not separate, and the three lived together. Mrs. Gu was getting old, and the big family member Gao was in charge of the family.Gao's temperament is straightforward, yet shrewd, and has a good reputation among the clan.

Seeing her coming to say hello, everyone smiled and went out to the banquet.

Gao originally wanted to keep two young girls from the clan to accompany the newcomer, but he saw Liu Ye'er and Cao Zhu'er, so he gave up.Firstly, the sons and nephews of the family married their daughters-in-law. Except for the Chen family who was married to the second wife, Gu Qing, who brought a girl and mother-in-law when they started, other daughters-in-law families did not follow these rules. So much so that Gao almost forgot that this fourth nephew's daughter-in-law brought a whole family to marry.

When mentioning this, Mrs. Gao couldn't help muttering, outsiders don't know, but their Gu family knows that this niece and daughter-in-law are not favored at home, just look at the dowry delivered yesterday.Now she is Gao's housekeeper, and Bai's sister-in-law of the second room has always been unjust. Gao is deeply afraid that Jiang Jinshu's family will be someone who is stealing, raping, cheating, and difficult to control. If something goes wrong, Bai will take advantage of it.On the other hand, the family looks glamorous, but the expenses are high. Who would be happy if there are so many people at once?

Mrs. Gao ordered some people to bring some clean hot tea and rice to the new house, and at the same time kept talking to Mrs. Xu and the others about their hard work. Just as she was about to go to the front to do some work, she caught a glimpse of Gu Ting still standing there staring at the bride stupidly from the corner of her eye. Can't help laughing, came up and grabbed him and walked out.

"What's the hurry, Sibao? The bride has come to pick her up and she can't run away. Let's go to the front to toast."

Everyone left, Aunt Xu hurried over to help Jiang Jinshu massage her shoulders, and took off the heavy phoenix crown on her head.Liu Ye'er fetched water to wash her face, Cao Zhu'er held a towel, and after washing up, Liu Ye'er opened the dowry to redress her.

Jiang Jinshu hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't be busy for now. There is a table ahead right now, and no one is coming. I'll have a refreshing meal first."

Jiang Jinshu didn't like to smear on her face, and she didn't like the heavy makeup of the newlyweds even more.He said this just to appease Liu Ye'er, but in fact, he didn't plan to reapply his makeup at all. When the banquet was over and it was late at night, the only one who would come to the new house was Gu Ting.It can be seen from the brief side just now that even though Gu Ting is really stupid, he has a good temper, so he will never feel that she is rude because of this, um...he doesn't understand this either.

I thought it would take some time for Gu Ting to come back, but he arrived in less than half an hour.

A group of teenagers surrounded Gu Ting and came in. Gu Ting seemed to have been drunk, a red cloud appeared on his fair face, and his smirk became more obvious.Just as these people were about to make trouble, a man outside yelled: "A group of brats are coming out! Don't disturb Sibao and his wife's rest!"

The person outside was Gu Mengcheng, the uncle of the Gu family. He got the old lady's words and came here specially to let the group of brats disperse.Sibao and daughter-in-law are different from others, it's better to make less trouble.

Everyone was very frustrated, but they didn't dare not listen, so they had to go out.

Aunt Xu avoided going out earlier, Liu Ye'er and Cao Zhu'er were dowry maids, when they saw the uncle came in, they hurriedly scooped up the prepared hot water, brought towels, green salt, fragrant soap and other things to serve them.However, Gu Ting grabbed the towel, soaked it in water to wash it himself, brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth very neatly, and even put the used towel neatly on the basin shelf.

"Go and rest, I'll call you when I have something to do." Jiang Jinshu sent the two suspicious girls away, leaving only a new couple in the room.

Gu Ting stood a few steps away from the bed, scratching his head while scratching his hands, and couldn't help giggling, showing a bit of shyness and restraint.Obviously Gu Ting didn't dare to come over, he didn't feel any surprise when he saw the charming new daughter-in-law, there was only curiosity in his two clear eyes.

Jiang Jinshu seemed to see a deer in a daze, and found this experience more and more interesting.

She stretched out her hand to Gu Ting: "Come here."

Gu Ting walked over with a grin and opened his mouth to shout: "Daughter-in-law!"

Jiang Jinshu was taken aback, then pursed her lips and smiled, "My name is Jiang Jinshu, you call me 'Jinshu', I call you... Four Treasures!"

"Jin Shu." Gu Ting was kind and obedient.

"It's late, let's go to bed, we have to get up early tomorrow." Seeing that he really didn't understand anything, Jiang Jinshu became more relaxed, took off her coat, and prepared to rest in red gauze pajamas.When the bed was made, I swept the peanuts, red dates, longan and other fruits to the head of the bed, and when I turned around, I saw him standing there in fine cotton clothes.She raised her hand and pointed to the bed: "Go to sleep."

There are eight sets of dowry quilts, and she spreads two quilts on the bed, one for each person.

But Gu Ting shook his head: "Grandma said, I have to sleep outside, my wife... Jin Shu sleeps inside."

Jiang Jinshu thought about it, and it was the first night of their wedding, so she followed the trend.Gu Ting's situation is special. Someone will inquire carefully about all the details of tonight tomorrow morning. It's easy to find reasons for not consummating the house. Gu Ting doesn't understand, so it's hard to let her, a girl, take the initiative. I was confused, but if she was asked to let the groom sleep on the inside of the bed, I'm afraid the Gu family would have more thoughts.

As soon as the two of them lay down, Gu Ting turned to face her, and suddenly said, "Jinshu, are we consummating the marriage?"

"Consummating the house? You..." Jiang Jinshu was caught off guard, and almost excitedly asked, "Do you know how?"When he saw his still clear eyes, he settled down. "Sibao, do you know what a consummated house is?"

"I know, the second aunt said that a consummated house can give birth to a baby, and I can be a father." Gu Ting looked eager to try.

Jiang Jinshu held back her laughter and asked, "Then you will?"

"Third brother and the others said, but I didn't understand. They said consummating the room is very comfortable. Can Jin Shu?"

"I don't know, let's go to bed first, and we'll talk about it later." Jiang Jinshu was really tired after a day of tossing around, and it would not be easy to deal with the Gu family tomorrow.

"Oh." Gu Ting was a little disappointed, but he didn't speak again, just kept looking at her, which was very fresh.

Jiang Jinshu didn't bother with him. Through the conversation just now, she found that Gu Ting's so-called "stupid" was mental retardation, which was obviously like that of an eight-year-old child.Another one, Gu Ting's reaction is slower than ordinary people, every time he asks something or says something, he always has to take a few beats to react, and others think he is stupid when they see it.Although it was not kind, she was very satisfied with Gu Ting like this.
