Carrying the wrong sedan chair to marry the wrong wife

On winter nights, it was dark and cold, so that the night market closed early. At this time, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, and the signboards on both sides swayed from side to side under the roar of the north.

Under the cold moonlight, the watchman beat the midnight drum on the cold street, as if to remind those who hadn't returned home to go home early.

At this time, in the small study of the Tang family, Tang Hongfei poured the wine in the cup and said: "Mancang, you should go home quickly, and you won't drink with me when you come here, do you know that this is an eyesore?"

"Ahem, my wife doesn't like me drinking, besides, am I here to persuade you not to join the army for the big guy? Our Nantong is so good, we have fun and fun, we don't have to worry about food and clothing, you still have Miss Wan'er It's a good day to be with you." Shen Wenchang said while pushing the fried peanuts from his mouth.

Tang Hongfei burped when he heard the words: "I used to think the same way, but now... a man, born in the world, how can he live a life of nothing, full of warehouses, have you not seen the frontier? The army, the momentum, if I can be a general in this life, I will have no regrets in this life."

"It's okay to go, let's marry Miss Wan'er first." Shen Wencuo looked up at Tang Hongfei.

Tang Hongfei waved his hands when he heard the words: "No, what if I die on the battlefield? Besides, my parents don't agree now. They think that singers can only be concubines, and this concubine cannot enter the house before the main wife. I am now There is no way to talk to my parents."

Shen Wenchang didn't speak when he heard the words, and bowed his head in silence.

"I will tell Wan'er before I leave. If I die on the battlefield in the future, you can persuade her to find someone to marry. If I can make an inch of merit, I will definitely live up to her." After finishing speaking, Tang Hongfei raised his head and poured another glass of wine .

"You really decided?" Shen Wenchang raised his eyes and asked.

"Well, I must join the army, I must go." Tang Hongfei looked determined.

Hearing the words, Shen Wenchang patted the peanut crumbs on his body and stood up, walked to Tang Hongfei's side and patted Tang Hongfei's shoulder and said, "Let's talk someday, we'll see you off."

"Good brother." Tang Hongfei was very emotional. He poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Shen Wenchang. He stood up and said, "Come on, Mancang, let's have a drink. After I leave, my parents will take care of you. Wan'er, help me take care of it, thank you brother."

"Don't worry, your parents are my parents, and I should respect Wan'er as if I were my sister-in-law." After saying that, Shen Wenchang touched Tang Hongfei with his wine glass, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

"It's getting late, go back, you still have a lovely wife waiting at home." Tang Hongfei looked at Shen Wenchang playfully.

Shen Wenchang smiled, cupped his hands at Tang Hongfei, turned and left.After leaving the small study room, Shen Wenchang suddenly felt a little lonely. My childhood playmate and friendship for more than ten years, if we say goodbye, we have to say goodbye.

A gust of cold wind whizzed past, Shen Wenchang tightened his robe, and left the Tang family quickly.

At the end of the alley, Shen Wenchang gently knocked on the door.After a while, a courtyard came out to open the door.

"The young master is back."

"En." Shen Wenchang responded softly, stepped into the house and asked, "Is my father asleep?"

"I just saw that the lights in the backyard were not lit, so I think I've already fallen asleep." The family courtyard replied.

"Then you guys go to bed too." After saying that, Shen Wenchang walked up the corridor with light footsteps, went to the end of the corridor and pushed the small door, only to find it locked, "No way."

Shen Wenchang stepped out of the corridor, stood on the periphery of the corridor, jumped up lightly, onto the eaves of the corridor, then walked to the wall of the small courtyard, and jumped off.

"Hehehe." Jingfeng made a sound, and Ah Er flapped his wings.

"Hush." ​​Shen Wenchang squatted on the ground and raised his finger to his mouth. Seeing that Jingfeng and Ah'er had subsided, he walked forward with a cat.

"Miss, there are noises outside." Outside, Xiaorou stood beside her own lady and said softly.

Lu Qingyi leaned back on the brocade pillow on the warm couch, and replied softly: "I heard."

Seeing the darkness in his room, Shen Wenchang thought that Lu Qingyi had fallen asleep, so he curled up with his robe and wanted to go up the steps.

With a thud, Shen Wenchang slipped and fell to the ground, and after a muffled grunt, he covered his mouth with one hand and hugged his knee with the other, tears were about to flow from the pain.

Outside, Lu Qingyi and Xiaorou listened with their ears open, but there was no sound outside.

Shen Wenchang calmed down, sat on the ground panting, raised his hand to touch the steps, the top was covered with ice, it would be strange if he didn't fall.

"The most poisonous woman's heart, the most poisonous woman's heart." Shen Wenchang sighed while touching the ice, completely forgetting that strictly speaking, she was already a woman.

Lu Qingyi in the outer room had already stood up and planned to go out to have a look. After walking a few steps and hearing what the person outside said, she stopped immediately, sat back steadily, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds in the dark, and ate them one by one. up.

"Master?" A beautiful female voice sounded outside, Lu Qingyi stopped knocking sunflower seeds, and asked Xiao Rou: "Who is outside?"

"Listen to the voice, like that Xiao Min." Xiao Ju said.

"Hurry up and open the door." Lu Qingyi put down the sunflower seeds and said.

"Just open the door like this?" Xiaorou felt that the plan was not halfway done yet.

"Otherwise, go quickly." Lu Qingyi's tone was a little anxious.

Xiaorou didn't dare to delay when she heard the words, and hurried to light the lamp.

"Oh, sister Xiao Min, you haven't slept so late." Shen Wenchang patted his robe and said.

"Madam is drinking water at night, young master, this is..." Xiao Min walked in.

"Well, I just came back from outside, hehe..."

"Why didn't the Young Madam leave a light for the Young Master?" Xiao Min was overjoyed when she saw the darkness in the room. The young lady in the room was obviously not good at serving people.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the lights in the room came on, and Xiao Min's face darkened.

The door opened, Xiao Rou stood at the door holding a lamp and said with a smile: "Young master is back, my young lady has been waiting for you."

Shen Wenchang laughed a few times, bit the bullet and lifted his robe and stepped on the ice. When he went up the second step, Xiaorou gave him a hand, and Shen Wenchang took the opportunity to whisper: "Whose idea is the ice on the steps?"

Xiao Rou laughed out loud: "Who else could it be?"

Shen Wenchang pursed his lips and entered the room, only to see Lu Qingyi pretending to be reading with a book, knocking sunflower seeds with his right hand.

Seeing Shen Wenchang come in, Xiao Rou wanted to close the door, halfway through the door she saw Xiao Min was still there and asked, "Sister Xiao Min, is there anything else?"

Xiao Min heard and said: "Yes, don't close the door later, I went to the back kitchen to get hot water to burn the young master's feet." After saying that, Xiao Min turned and left.

Xiao Rou froze in place, isn't this Xiao Min the maid who serves his wife?Why are you taking care of the young master's feet-washing water?

Inside the room, Lu Qingyi pretended for a while but couldn't bear it any longer. She looked up at Shen Wenchang and couldn't help laughing: "I'm back!"

Shen Wenchang limped to the warm couch and sat down, opened his robe and rolled up his trouser legs, his knees were bald.

"Speaking of which, do you want government-run or private-run?" Shen Wenchang raised his eyebrows.

Lu Qingyi lifted the orchid finger and handed the sunflower seeds to his mouth, bit his teeth lightly, "What did Mr. Xianggong say? Hmm... I don't understand it." At the end, he couldn't hold on, and the tail sound laughed .

"You murdered your husband by storing ice in front of the steps. If the government decides to do it, let me go to my parents to judge." Shen Wenchang laughed.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea ceremony: "Then what about the private ones?"

"It's easy to say, as long as you listen to me in the middle of every month in the future, then this matter is over, and I will not blame you."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi glanced at Shen Wenchang and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that I made the ice on purpose? It's freezing cold, it's normal for ice to form."

"But, it's not normal on the steps." Shen Wenchang pointed outside, "Is it normal that the ice is so thick there?"

"Your reminder makes sense, Xiao Rou, go outside and smash the ice."

"Well, miss." Xiao Rou hurried out with a suppressed smile.

Shen Wenchang opened his mouth and looked at Lu Qingyi in disbelief when he heard the words. When he was young, he heard the sound of ice being smashed outside.Shen Wenchang frowned, just for fun, seeing Lu Qingyi knocking sunflower seeds, so he put down his pants and moved over, touched Lu Qingyi's arm, "Give me some too."

Lu Qingyi laughed and said, "Shouldn't it be government-run or private-run?

"What else should we do? Isn't someone destroying the evidence? Besides, we are husband and wife. Let's reconcile." Shen Wenchang laughed.

Lu Qingyi held the small dish and handed it to Shen Wenchang. Shen Wenchang quickly grabbed a handful and put it in his palm, and knocked the sunflower seeds by himself.

"Where did you go, and you're only coming back now?" Lu Qingyi asked casually.

"There is Hongfei, he is going to join the army. I tried to persuade him, but it was useless. He still has to go. What can you say if he becomes a general? After a hundred years, he will still be a bone like me. People, it's time to enjoy yourself Good." Shen Wenchang knocked and threw it to the ground.

Lu Qingyi glanced at the sunflower seed skins on the ground and said nothing. He put the sunflower seed skins in his hand into the wooden box next to him, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and pulled up the brocade quilt on his body.

"It's good for Hongfei to have ambition. If you want to enjoy yourself in time, you have to find a job to make a living."

Hearing this, Shen Wenchang tilted his head and thought for a while, then threw the remaining sunflower seeds into the plate, clapped his hands and said, "I haven't figured out what to do yet, you can light it in, share the quilt with me, it's a bit cold gone."

Lu Qingyi pressed her elbows on the brocade pillow, heard that her body did not move, and said: "I don't want to see what time it is, you go wash your feet, and go directly to the back room to sleep."

"how about you?"

"I also have to make room for Xiao Rou."

Shen Wenchang was stunned when he heard the words: "Xiao Rou is sleeping here?"

"Yeah." Lu Qingyi said, "I can't bear Xiaorou to sleep in the bunk."

"But I'm not used to someone sleeping outside." Shen Wenchang was a little embarrassed.

"I've been used to sleeping alone for so many years, now it's not the same to share the quilt with you and the pillow with half." Lu Qingyi said as she tugged at Shen Wenchang's sleeve, "After all, there are many things to be compared with the past after being married. It's different, besides, Xiaorou has been with me since she was a child, and now she is married as a dowry, in my heart she is not just my personal maid."

Shen Wenchang nodded after hearing the words, "Okay, let's sleep here."

Outside, Xiaorou cleared the ice and was about to enter the house when she caught a glimpse of Xiao Min walking hard with hot water, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Sister Xiao Min, thank you for washing our son-in-law's feet, but it's late at night. Now, sister Xiao Min, go back and serve your wife, our son-in-law will not bother sister Min Min."

"Our young master is better served by us." Xiao Min said, bypassing Xiao Rou, and came to the front of the house, "Master, I am Xiao Min, and I brought you foot washing water."

In the house, Shen Wenchang was in a daze for a while when he heard the words, she never gave this footwashing water to others, and Xiao Min never gave her footwashing water either.

"Oh, bring it up." Although Shen Wenchang was puzzled, she didn't think deeply about it, just because she was too lazy to move today.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi glanced at Shen Wenchang, lifted the quilt and sat up.

Xiao Min carried the water into the house, brought it in front of Shen Wenchang, and took the foot washing tray and put it in front of Shen Wenchang. After putting the water away, she squatted down to take off Shen Wenchang's shoes.

Shen Wenchang was startled and hid.

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

"Master, let me come." Xiao Min raised her head and said.

Lu Qingyi glanced at Xiao Min, then at Shen Wenchang, and asked directly, "Excuse me for my blindness, but this is Grandma Tongfang?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Min's face turned red, both ashamed and annoyed.

"Young master, this servant has been out for a while, so I'm going back first, the servant is afraid that Madam will find me."

"Ahem, then, let's go then."

Xiao Min turned around and left quickly, extremely ashamed and annoyed.

Seeing Xiao Min's back, Lu Qingyi knew that for an innocent maid, her words were too serious, but she just couldn't bear the sight of such a maid making trouble in front of her, and even entered the room without saluting. After hooking up, the servant girl in the main room just abused herself, can't she just keep her duty and do her own business?

Seeing Xiao Min gone, Shen Wenchang hurriedly went to explain to his wife: "Yiyi, don't get me wrong, sister Xiao Min has never given me footwashing water before, she is a capable person in the second mother's room, and I can't beat it with eight poles."

"It doesn't matter to you, it doesn't mean she has no idea." Lu Qingyi doesn't like the Shen family, the maids of the Shen family gossip, they don't know how to be polite, in short, four words, they are not very friendly.

"Impossible, she was always well-behaved before, and even if I did, it's enough for me to clean myself up, hehe, don't worry, don't worry." Shen Wenchang said as he took off his shoes and put his feet in the water.

"Yiyi, do you want to wash together? You can sleep fast with your feet warm." Shen Wenchang looked at Lu Qingyi and said.

"I washed it." After saying that, Lu Qingyi got up and went into the inner room.

Shen Wenchang also wiped his feet quickly, and dragged his heels into the inner room.

Xiaorou poured out the footwashing water, tidied it up, folded the quilt on the young lady's bed, unfolded her quilt, lay down in the bed and blew on the lamp.

In the inner room, Shen Wenchang and Lu Qingyi also went to bed. In the dark, Lu Qingyi pressed Shen Wenchang's troubled hand and said, "Go to sleep, don't you still have to visit your relatives tomorrow?"

Shen Wenchang heard that the voice was wrong, hugged Lu Qingyi honestly, and asked in a low voice: "Yiyi, are you unhappy? Is it because of what happened just now or you are not used to living at home? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, I will It can be done for you."

Lu Qingyi turned around when she heard the words, buried her face in Shen Wenchang's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing."

Shen Wenchang patted Lu Qingyi on the back and said: "I was negligent about this matter. You are bound to be unfamiliar when you just entered the house. I should always be by your side. If you are unhappy, just tell me and I will call you." Everything goes well, everything goes well.”

"Wen Chang." Lu Qingyi was slightly touched, "I'll tell you tomorrow, I'm sleepy now."

"Then, go to sleep." Shen Wenchang bowed his head and kissed Lu Qingyi's forehead, and the two embraced and fell asleep.
