The Sweet Little Fulang

At the dinner table, Lu Gu didn't dare to show his air. After coming in with Ji Qiuyue, he realized that Wei Lanxiang didn't come out to eat, and the untouched bowl of noodles belonged to him.

Shen Xuanqing ate quickly, and finished eating after a few swipes. He put down the bowl and went back to the room first.

After only Lu Gu and Shen Yan were left on the table, he took a breath, and he was no longer so stiff and nervous, but he didn't dare to move the table to serve food, and he only ate noodles and soup with his head down, which was far worse than what he had eaten before. It's better.

There was suddenly a lot of pork liver with chopsticks in the bowl, Lu Gu was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw that Shen Yan hadn't retracted his hand while holding the chopsticks.

"There's so much, it doesn't matter if you take a few bites." Shen Yan's almond eyes were clear, but he seemed a little rusty and cautious because he was not familiar with him.

The same is true for Lu Gu, because he is too timid and looks a little dull, he can't even speak.

Fortunately, Shen Yan didn't care about these things. She was full and got up to pack her own dishes.

Lu Gu hurriedly ate the meat and noodles in his bowl, he was a little flustered and regretful, why did he eat so slowly, if Shen Xuanqing found out, he would suffer.

He completely forgot that he came late and others ate earlier than him, and he was afraid that he would annoy the Shen family if he didn't work hard and only knew to eat.

"I'll do the washing." His voice was low, and he gently took the empty bowl from Shen Yan's hand.

When he was in the Lu family, he was often not his turn to eat, but he must do the dishes. Lu Wen was determined not to do it, not to mention his half-brother Lu Wu, who has changed places now. He did not dare to slack off.

There was a lot of food left over tonight, and the frustrated Shen family didn't have much appetite, so they would be full after filling their stomachs.

Shen Yan didn't snatch him away, and seeing how pale his face was and how thin he was, he seemed to be frightened by speaking louder, so he didn't dare to speak more.

The leftover vegetables and meat from the wedding banquet, Ji Qiuyue, had already been put away properly, Lu Gu put the leftovers into the basket, his eyes fell on the basin where the vegetables had not been poured after washing, and he softly asked Shen Yan who followed: "Is this the basin? "

Seeing Shen Yan nodding, he put the empty bowls and chopsticks in, squatted down, took the loofah and started washing.

Shen Yan seemed to be very curious about him, and squatted down opposite him.

Lu Gu is timid and seldom talkative, but Shen Yan is still a little girl, she has no bad intentions, just now she gave him meat to eat, so she is not so vigilant and nervous towards Shen Yan.

He was stupid and afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he buried his head in washing the dishes to cover up his bewilderment.

And Shen Yan tilted her head and looked at the new husband in front of her. She thought that Lu Gu was not as good-looking as Lu Wen, but her facial features were not that bad, but she was too thin. She didn't have much flesh, how could she be so thin? What a good-looking person.

But she was thinking of Lu Wen regretting his marriage, and Du Hehua still scolded them, so she felt that Lu Wen was not very good. If she met Lu Wen in the future, she would never give him a good face. How can there be such a person.

At this time Ji Qiuyue came in, she was full after a few mouthfuls, went back to her room to rest for a while, heard no movement in the main room outside, thought she must have finished eating, so she came out to clean up.

Seeing an injured and sick person in Lu Gu washing dishes, she wanted to talk about Shen Yan, but she felt that she was really tired today, and Shen Yan was also shocked today, so she stopped talking.

Besides, she also saw Lu Gu's embarrassment. If she didn't do some work, she might not even know where to put her hands and feet. Washing dishes is not a labor-intensive job.

She took another wooden basin from the side, scooped up clear water and put the bowls that Lu Gu had washed in it to rinse.

Someone helped, and Lu Gu finished washing quickly. Just as he was about to take the dirty water out to throw it away, Ji Qiuyue snatched it away. He had no work to do, and he stood in the kitchen with a dazed look.

Ji Qiuyue put the empty basin away, and said to him, "I'm tired today, take some water to wash and go to bed."

Lu Gu nodded nonchalantly, Shen Yan closed the courtyard door, and followed Ji Qiuyue to wash in the courtyard, she wiped her face and turned to see Lu Gu's pitiful and embarrassed appearance, pointed to her basin and said: "Why don't you use my basin?" of?"

After she finished speaking, she remembered that there was a new wooden basin for the new couple in the second brother's room, but on second thought, it was supposed to be for Lu Wen.

Although the second brother said that he bought Lu Gu, she really didn't know what Lu Gu's identity was at home.

"Forget it, you just use this." Shen Yan couldn't figure it out, and there was a bit of sadness on his round face.

There are many chores to get married. The whole Shen family has been up and busy since before dawn, and in the afternoon they went to Anjia Village to quarrel with others. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are physically and mentally exhausted. Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yan went back to their rooms .

Lu Gu was the only one left in the courtyard.

It was already dark, and the Shen family did not light the lamps, but there were stars and moons in the sky, illuminating the courtyard coldly.

After eating a bowl of hot noodle soup, there were broken egg flower and oily water, which warmed Lu Gu who was often hungry.

He washed his face and looked up at the half-circle moon in the sky. The surroundings were so quiet that he felt as if he was alone.

He stared blankly at the bright moon for a long time, and finally thought to himself, wait until the fifteenth moon is full to go to the grave, otherwise if he dies, no one will visit his mother's grave.

-

The sun was up, and it was already bright. In the woodshed of the Shen family, Shen Yan squatted in front of the haystack, and stretched out a finger to lightly poke the face of the person in the haystack.

Lu Gu, whose head was wrapped in blood-stained linen, did not wake up. She was a little startled, and subconsciously reached out her hand to probe her nose for a while, and she was relieved only after she breathed lightly.

The rest of the Shen family also got up, and Shen Xuanqing was washing her face when Wei Lanxiang called her into the room.

"Mother." He said while wiping his hands with a cloth towel.

Wei Lanxiang leaned on the square pillow, and when she saw her second son, she sighed softly, and then asked, "What are you going to do with him?"

It is self-evident who this "he" is.

Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing frowned slightly, obviously she didn't think about it well, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Mother, it's him."

Even though it was the expected answer, Wei Lanxiang still dropped her legs in annoyance, she couldn't express her remorse, her mouth was pursed with unwillingness and discomfort.

Shen Xuanqing knew what his old mother was thinking, originally wanted to marry him a good husband, but instead became Lu Gu, but after this experience, he no longer had any thoughts or expectations about getting married, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Okay!" I paid ten taels of silver to my uncle's house, and said that I would pay it back in May next year. I don't mention this, and it will be half a year before the New Year's Eve, and I need money. When will it be settled?"

"Oh." Wei Lanxiang sighed, how could she not understand this truth, she just felt unwilling.

For Shen Xuanqing's marriage this time, the bride price of 20 taels can barely be scraped together, but getting married is not only about the bride price, but also various other expenses. After all the calculations, the money in her hand is not enough. She only got borrowed from her natal family Eldest brother ten taels of silver.

In fact, if Shen Xuanqing doesn't want Lu Gu, it's not impossible to find money when the debt is paid off, but the men in their country will be ridiculed if they can't marry a wife when they get older, and the older they get, the more money they get. Hard to find.

Wei Lanxiang saw his second son's eyes and expression, and knew that he had made a decision.No matter what, it's not too bad to use Lu Gu to make up the number. If the money is gone, at least he can get someone.

She rubbed her forehead and said, "Okay, I see, you go and do your work."

As such, when Lu Gu was asleep, he became Shen Xuanqing's husband, not what he thought last night, but he was bought as a servant of the Shen family as a cow and a horse.

And what Shen Xuanqing didn't say was that if he changed someone, he wouldn't necessarily want it. The reason why he recognized Lu Gu was nothing more than the few conscientious words Lu Gu said yesterday, which made him understand that he was with other Lu family members. different.

It was also because of those two sentences that were said with blood on their face that the rest of the Shen family did not have so much resistance to Lu Gu, besides, they are not the ones who have broken their hearts, livers and lungs. willing.

In the woodshed.

Lu Gu, who was in a deep sleep, woke up because of the poking on his cheek. After he saw Shen Yan's face clearly, he realized that the sky outside was already bright. He was so frightened that his bloodless face changed a few times, and he was about to get up immediately. Go out and boil water to work.

Unexpectedly, he got up too fast, and before he could stand still, it was dark in front of his eyes. If it wasn't for Shen Yan's quick hands and eyes to support him, he might have fallen.

"What are you in a hurry for? No ghost will chase you away." Shen Yan was puzzled, helped him to sit down again, and even took some hay from his hair.

After the darkness in front of him passed, Lu Gu didn't feel dizzy anymore. He supported the firewood pile on the other side to stand up, and he was annoyed in his heart why he slept until now and woke up.

Shen Yan followed him out of the firewood room, and said as he walked, "Your medicine is ready, you can drink it after eating."

There was an unpleasant smell of medicine in the yard. Lu Gu was very unfamiliar with other people decocting medicine for him. When he was at home, once he got sick, he had to either get over it or go to the backyard to decoct medicine by himself. The smell of medicine was strong. The stepmother would still scold him after floating out.

When Shen Xuanqing came out of the room, seeing that bloodless face, she was stunned.

Last night he heard the slight movement of Lu Gu opening the door of the firewood room. At that time, he was upset. He turned over a few times and felt that as long as people didn't run away, he didn't care. Besides, it would be inappropriate for a pair of children to be called into the room by him. .

As for the fact that Lu Gu just woke up now, he understands that his head bleeds after being broken yesterday, and his body is thin. Once he falls asleep, he will fall asleep. Ordinary people will sleep late when they catch a cold. there is nothing.

After seeing Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu obviously showed a bit of timidity, and even stopped when he was going to work in the kitchen.

At this time, Wei Lanxiang shouted in the room: "Shen Yan, go and release the chicken, it's getting late."

"Understood, mother, let's go now." Shen Yan replied, she threw away the hay she was holding in her hand, took the bamboo basket hanging under the eaves of the kitchen, and walked to the backyard. He wondered why Lu Gu would be in their house in the future.

Shen Yan, who was still a little familiar, left, which made Lu Gu even more uneasy, almost writing his fear of Shen Xuanqing on his face.

Fortunately, Ji Qiuyue stood by the kitchen window and looked out, then said to Lu Gu, "Wash your face, come in and serve the meal when you're done."

Shen Xuanqing realized his fear and frowned slightly, but she still entered the main room, otherwise Lu Gu's head would have dropped to the ground.
