house life

The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Shu Santie and his wife woke up. When they walked out of the courtyard, there was already light in the front yard.

The old man and his wife of the Shu family had already opened the courtyard door and welcomed the women who were helping.

Wang Po sent Xiniang over and told Gao Xiaorui: "She is good at her craftsmanship and is steady and knowledgeable. With her by Ling'er's side, you and your family can rest assured."

Gao Xiaorui smiled and nodded. Wang Zhi had just gone to wake up Shu Ling.

Shu Ling heard the knock on the door and opened her eyes. There was only a little light outside the window. She was about to close her eyes again.

"Ling'er, Xi Niang is here."

Shu Ling heard Wang Zhi's voice and really woke up this time. She got up and opened the door.

Wang Zhi directly asked her to take a shower and freshen up first. Shu Ling turned around and wanted to make the bed. Wang Zhi had already entered the room and quickly helped Shu Ling tidy up.

After Shu Ling took a shower, she finally woke up. She wrapped her wet hair in a dry handkerchief and returned to the room.

Xi Niang had already arrived in the room. Wang Zhi put a red word "hi" on the door, while Xiang Yu came over with a dry handkerchief to wipe Shu Ling's hair.

Shu Ling originally wanted to take the handkerchief from Xiang Yu's hand, but she heard her smile and say: "Ling'er, you are the bride today, just sit tight and I will help you dry your hair soon."

Shu Ling let Xiang Yu wipe her hair and listened to Xi Niang and Wang Zhi talking about the preparations to be made in the morning.

Brother Shu Xianming moved the fire outside Shu Ling's room, and Wang Zhi went out to show them where to place it.

The sound of busy work outside the house made Shu Ling inside the house laugh. She smiled and called: "Third brother, fourth brother, good morning!"

"Okay, there's a fire outside. If you're cold, come out and warm yourself up."

"Okay. Third brother, fourth brother, have you had breakfast?"

"It's still early, we'll have breakfast later. Ling'er, what do you want for breakfast?"

Shu Ling suddenly remembered the pancakes from the town's bakery, and quickly said, "Third brother, fourth brother, I want to eat spring pancakes from the town's bakery."

"Okay, third brother will buy it for you. What else do you want to eat?"

"Third brother, I have enough."

The sound of Shu Xianzhong's footsteps gradually faded away, and Shu Xianming said outside the door: "Ling'er, what do you want, tell your fourth sister-in-law."

"Fourth brother, I see."

Xi Niang raised her eyes and glanced at Xiang Yu. She just lowered her head and wiped Shu Ling's hair carefully.

This time, Xiniang really realized how favored Shu Ling was in the Shu family. She walked over and took the dry handkerchief from Xiang Yu's hand.

Shu Ling's hair was already half dry. Xiniang wiped it with a handkerchief for a while and said to Shu Ling: "Go outside and warm yourself up. By the way, your hair will be completely dry soon."

Shu Ling happened to want to go out of the room. Hearing Xi Niang's words, she was very happy to lift up her skirt and step out of the door.

Outside the door, the fire was burning brightly. Shu Ling stretched out her hand to warm the fire. Xiang Yu walked behind her and helped her straighten her hair.

Wang Zhi had already left the small courtyard at this time. She had a lot to do today.

Shu Ling's hair was completely dry. Shu Ling looked up at the sky. The moon was still hanging in the corner of the sky.

Xiang Yu moved a stool to Shu Ling and asked her to sit by the fire.

Shu Ling quickly said to Xiang Yu, "Sister-in-law Fourth, you have been busy all morning. Please sit down and take a rest."

Xiang Yu shook his head: "Ling'er, I'm going to move two more stools out. There are a lot of guests today. If you need anything, just ask the Bao'ers to call us. Do you understand?"

Shu Ling smiled and agreed to her. Xiang Yu saw that Shu Ling didn't need her at this moment, so she quickly left the courtyard.Xiniang said to Shu Ling at this time: "Miss Shu, the auspicious time is in the afternoon. You put on the bride's clothes in the morning, and the groom will come to greet you at noon."

Shu Ling smiled and said, "Sister, you know this, let's prepare step by step."

Shu Xianzhong brought the cakes that Shu Ling wanted to eat. When he saw Shu Ling with her hair down and getting ready to dress up, he asked Shu Ling to eat the cakes first.

With a serious look on his face, he said to Xiniang, "You go and have breakfast in front, so that she can eat something in peace."

Xiniang looked up at the sky and saw that it was a sunny day.

Xiniang walked to the front yard. After Shu Xianzhong watched Shu Ling use the pancakes, he asked Shu Ling, "Ling'er, is there anything else you want to eat?"

Shu Ling shook her head at Shu Xianzhong: "Third brother, are you busy with anything this weekend?"

"I have nothing to be busy with right now."

"Third brother, please sit with me for a while and talk."

Shu Xianzhong thought for a while and moved a stool to sit at the door of the courtyard. Shu Ling looked at him in surprise and amused: "Third brother, do you want to sit at the door of the courtyard and talk to me?"

Shu Xianzhong laughed: "Don't mind me. I'll sit at the door of the yard for a while. What do you want to tell me?"

Shu Ling thought for a while and asked: "Third brother, have you seen the excitement of getting married in other places?"

“On our way back last year, when we saw the groom welcoming the bride, his parents’ family set up obstacles on the road and asked all kinds of strange questions. We listened and felt dumbfounded.

There were many people from the groom's family helping, and the answers were varied.If some questions are not answered correctly, the mother's family will not be embarrassed and will find a way to convey the correct answers to the groom. "

Shu Ling looked at the smile on Shu Xianzhong's face and asked, "Third brother, do you like traveling far away?"

"I've been out for a long time, and I really want to go home. But after I've been at home for a long time, I want to go out and gain a lot of experience.

Linger, even if you are married, you still need to read more and practice writing. "

"I know about the third brother, and the fourth brother also told me the same thing, saying that he will continue to take exams. The more he knows, the more I have to study so that I can understand some of what he said."

Shu Xianzhong agreed with Shu Xianming's opinion. He gained experience while going out, and he would talk to Liu Shenghua about his experience when he got home.

Sometimes, when he saw Liu Shenghua's confused expression, he stopped and explained carefully to Liu Shenghua, but sometimes, Liu Shenghua still couldn't understand what he wanted to say.

When Shu Xianzhong met Shu Ling, he told her similar things. Shu Ling reacted quickly and was able to chat with Shu Xianzhong about relevant news in the city.

Shu Xianzhong asked curiously: "Where did you know these things?"

"Third brother, I read the book that fourth brother brought back a few days ago, and the book talked about this matter."

Shu Xianzhong turned around and borrowed a book from Shu Xianming. After flipping through the book, he found that the book did contain such content.

Shu Xianzhong also found answers to the questions that had always puzzled him from the book.

When he mentioned this matter to Shu Xianming, Shu Xianming could answer his questions as long as he started.

Shu Xianzhong said in surprise: "You have never traveled far, how come you know everything?"

"Third brother, I have traveled far away. A few years ago, my classmates and I went out with the masters for more than a month.

The answers to what you said can be found in the book.

Third brother, if you want to read a book, I will turn it out for you in the next two days. "
