The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 45 I will never bully you again (1)
Zhao Chen got Ah Ju's Geng Tie, held it in his hand and looked at it for a full quarter of an hour, and then pretended to order someone to send it to the temple to ask the eminent monk for divination.

The result, of course, is auspicious.

After the two families got married, Zhao Chen went to discuss with Lin Xian, hoping to choose a date before the Mid-Autumn Festival to have an engagement, and to send a letter of engagement, and the two would formally enter into a marriage contract.

Lin Xianwei agreed after pondering.After all, the eldest daughter has been taken advantage of by others, so she can feel at ease if she decides early. As for the wedding date, she can marry this year or next year. When the Zhao family sends the auspicious day, he will choose a later one, and stay for a few more days.

After reading the almanac, Weng and his son-in-law set the engagement date on August [-]th.

Happy day for my niece, Mrs. Xiao Liu came to Lin's house one day in advance to help Mrs. Liu prepare tomorrow's banquet.It's just that when he got out of the car and walked in, he suddenly remembered the situation of his niece's engagement with the Meng family last year, and he couldn't help but feel a little touched.

Mrs. Xiao Liu dragged Mrs. Liu to the fence, and whispered under the pretense of watching the deer: "How is Aju doing these days? Have you figured it out?" Yoyo was breastfeeding inside the fence, and turned to look at them after a while , with big watery eyes, Xiao Liushi was almost distracted.

When mentioning this, Mrs. Liu was worried. It's not good for a child to be too sensible. She keeps everything in her heart and doesn't say it easily. She can't find a reason to comfort her.Fortunately, Aju wasn't too happy, but she didn't hurt the spring or the autumn. It seemed that she didn't particularly dislike this marriage.

She said this to her sister, and Xiao Liu said: "Well, Ah Ju is still young, it's okay if you can't let go of it for a short time, as long as Mr. Zhao treats her well, and the young couple get along day and night after marriage, Ah Ju will soon forget the past. It's broken." The eldest niece is the most soft-hearted, and she is easy to coax, and Mr. Zhao's appearance, I am afraid that the sister-in-law in the nunnery will be tempted when he sees him. He really wants to live with Ah Ju, can Ah Ju resist?She is someone who has experienced it and knows a lot. It is said that men love beauty, but in fact women are the same. Good looks mean that they are popular.

Liu Shi nodded in agreement.The new son-in-law was born in a beautiful family, with a good family background and good character, not to mention those girls in the village. When she was young, if such a person came to the house with Lin Xian to propose marriage, the Liu family would not be fully sure that she would choose her current husband... …

Get rid of these random thoughts, anyway, Mrs. Liu likes the new son-in-law very much.As a mother, besides her daughter's wishes, she has to consider more.No, Aju divorced her marriage before, and although most of the villagers knew that the fault was with the Meng family, there were a few daughters-in-law who didn't usually get along with their own family and always got together to taunt Aju.Liu Shi knew it well, so she focused on picking a better son-in-law for her eldest daughter, and sternly blocked those people's stinking mouths.Now it's all right, the new son-in-law is better than Meng Zhongjing in every way, Liu can imagine those people's jealous faces.

In the evening, the four of them lived in the same room again, talking and laughing, playing and fighting, and in the end it was Liu's show of strength that made Xiao Liu's Lin Zhu shut up.

When I woke up the next day, the sky was clear and the autumn air was crisp.

Getting married is no better than a big gift, but the woman's family also needs to have a little fun, and invite relatives and friends to come and see the new son-in-law.

Not to mention the Zhao family, Ah Ju also needs to dress up.

Xiaoliu personally prepared the clothes for her niece. It was a bright red double-breasted shirt with gold thread embroidered flowers on the collar and cuffs, a pleated skirt of the same color underneath, and a pair of red satin embroidered shoes underneath. It was not as grand and luxurious as the wedding dress. But also very festive.Putting Ah Ju in front of the vanity mirror, Xiao Liu combed her hair herself. A red gold butterfly hairpin was inserted into her bun, and a pair of pearl earrings were worn on her ears. Point and red, it is really more beautiful than Qiu Furong.

Xiao Liu was very satisfied, and turned to her niece with a smile: "Come on, Ah Ju looks in the mirror by herself to see how my aunt's skills are?"

Ah Ju finally raised his eyes and looked over.

In the mirror, my eyebrows and eyes are more open than last year, but there is only peace in my eyes, not the shyness and joy of last year.Ah Ju clearly remembers that at that time, as long as someone mentioned the word Meng, she couldn't help being ashamed, and she would only cover her face when the guests were all out of the room and she was left alone. secretly happy.

This is the difference between marrying a sweetheart and a stranger, right?

But even if she doesn't marry Zhao Chen, she will marry another strange man. Thinking about it this way, the sadness faded away again.

"Aunt's hands are the most skillful." She got up and thanked Xiao Liushi, smiling.Her mother and aunt were worried that she would be unhappy, so she let them feel at ease.

Her smile was like a hibiscus blooming.

Mrs. Xiaoliu lost her mind, her niece was so beautiful, Meng Zhongjing was really blind, Mr. Zhao...has a discerning eye.

Lin Chongjiu was originally sitting on the edge of the kang, but when he saw this, he ran over immediately, raised his head and praised: "Eldest sister, you look so beautiful today!" Of all the people he has ever met, the elder sister is the most beautiful, and only elder brother Zhao is the most beautiful. He is the best match for her.In the past, Eldest Sister didn't like Eldest Brother Zhao Lin Chongjiu and she was a little disappointed, but now it's all right, the two are engaged, Eldest Brother Zhao likes Eldest Sister so much, he will definitely treat her well.

Ah Ju smiled and patted his younger brother's head, "Xiao Jiu, let's go outside and play, I don't need to study today."

Lin Chongjiu happily ran out, and almost bumped into Lin Zhu who came in through the curtain, Lin Zhu was so angry that he scolded him, Xiao Liu smiled and pushed him into the house, "Today is a good day, you two are not allowed to quarrel, Go to the house to see your eldest sister!"

Lin Zhu snorted, turned around, saw the elder sister dressed up, and felt his eyes light up, ran over and hugged the elder sister's arm and acted like a spoiled child: "Eldest sister is too partial, she gave birth to you so well, but I am a crooked melon of!"

Ah Ju straightened her upright, and looked at her sister solemnly: "Show me, is the nose crooked or the eyes crooked?"

Lin Zhu immediately laughed like a lark, his eyes became a little sore when he smiled, he hugged his elder sister and said in a low voice: "Elder sister, when I think of you getting married soon, I can't bear it, but you can marry Zhao Brother, I'm really happy. I don't understand the kind of liking you mentioned, I just want you to have a good life, you don't have to be burdened like mother taking care of us, and you have to do everything by yourself. "

Ah Ju also couldn't bear to part with her younger sister, and put her arms around her shoulders dotingly: "I know, but A Zhu, you have to change it. When I get married, you have to help my mother do more work, and take care of Xiaojiu so that he doesn't make him mischievous." , you also need to practice female red..."

The morning light diffused into the window screen, and the two sisters leaned close together, talking softly.

The sun was getting higher outside, and several female family members who had made an appointment earlier came over. After entering the house, they saw that Aju was as beautiful as a flower, and they couldn't help praising her in unison.

At this time, Zhao Chen and his party also arrived at the entrance of the village.

It stands to reason that today is just Xiaoding, and the Zhao family doesn't need to bring too many gifts, but Zhao Chen rode in front, followed by sixteen servants, two of them carried three animals of Xiguo tea cakes, satin jewelry and other things in a mighty way. The land came in, and the betrothal gifts of ordinary people in the village were not as good as his, which naturally attracted many villagers to go to the street to watch the excitement.

Usually Zhao Chen would disdain to look at these people, but today he was happy, his phoenix eyes and a smile swept across the villagers on both sides one by one, being humble and polite.The man caught by his gaze was lucky to say that those little daughters-in-law and big girls couldn't help but blushed. They always felt that the other party's eyes had something to say, so they couldn't help lowering their heads shyly, and looked up later to confirm that they had already ridden a distance. ...

Rich and good-looking, Zhao Chen has undoubtedly become the most outstanding son-in-law in the village these years, and the villagers love to talk about it.Amidst the noise, a voice suddenly came: "Where's your elder brother Zhongda? Didn't he always feel sorry for the Lin family? Call him over to see the new uncle of the Lin family. You don't have to feel guilty after seeing him. The son-in-law chosen this time is one in a hundred!"

It sounds like good intentions at first glance, but who in the know can't understand the irony in it?

Meng Zhongda gave the man a hard look, turned around and strode home.Meng Zhongda was very upset when his elder brother repented of his marriage. He had planned to propose to marry Lin Zhu in a few years, but now, the feud between the two families was severed, and it was impossible for him and Lin Zhu to be involved.

He entered the yard with a sullen face. Inside, Meng Zhongjing was chopping firewood, his sleeves were rolled up above his elbows, and his muscles were tense as he swung an axe.

Meng Zhongda looked at his face, and couldn't help but said: "Brother, Mr. Zhao and Ah Ju have a small appointment today, do you know?"

Meng Zhong nodded, and smashed down the ax in his hand. The firewood was split in two. He continued to arrange one without pausing, and swung the ax again.

He knew, he knew a long time ago that Ah Ju would definitely marry that person, but he just couldn't figure out why she was so thin since she gave him orchid purses.That time when her aunt was taking her home, he just came back from the field and saw her get off the car.She went straight into the house without seeing him, but he could see clearly that she had lost weight, which made him feel distressed.

She must still have him in her heart, he retired first, he married someone else first, she is still sad, right?

Ah Ju's thin side face appeared in front of his eyes, she was crying, and his chest was throbbing with pain.

"Second brother is back. It's just right. I just made a set of autumn shirts for you two. I'll ask your eldest brother to give you a try on yours later. Tell sister-in-law if it doesn't suit you. I'll change it again." Brother When the two were silent, Ru Niang came out from the door of the bridal house, smiling authentically.

Meng Zhongda's complexion changed, and he thanked her, "Thank you, sister-in-law." He didn't like this sister-in-law at first, but after she got married, she worked hard, washed and cooked, and used her own money to support the family. Meng Zhongda couldn't find fault with her. Not to mention being cold-faced, he walked into the old house after thanking him.

There was a commotion in the street, Ru Niang stood at the door and listened, then walked slowly to Meng Zhongjing.The man's forehead was sweating, Ru Niang took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him, her eyes were as gentle as water.Meng Zhongjing stared blankly at the little woman in front of him, thinking of her single-mindedness towards him, and thinking of her gentle acceptance these nights, the doubts in his heart gradually sank.

That's it, he has a gentle and considerate daughter-in-law, she married a man worthy of her, and each lived his own life.

Meng Zhongjing smiled at his wife, put down his axe, and went with her to the house to try on clothes.

The Lin family, the new son-in-law's first official visit, of course he will be judged a lot.Lin Xian and his wife led Zhao Chen to introduce them one by one. This one was called Second Uncle, and that one was called Third Aunt. Zhao Chen greeted each other with a smile, making people feel like a spring breeze.

At noon, the Liu sisters entertained the female relatives in the west room, while Lin Xian accompanied the male guests to drink in the east room.

Zhao Chen and Lin Xian sat side by side on the east side. Whenever someone came in and out of the west room and was provoked by someone, he would casually glance over there. Unfortunately, the female relatives ate on the kang, so she should sit inside , he could not see.

Knowing that she couldn't give him a chance, he couldn't help but look over.

After another disappointment, someone just happened to toast, Zhao Chen raised his glass with a smile and poured it down.He was really greedy. He felt very satisfied the night he hugged her on the mountain. After they separated, he looked forward to hugging her to sleep every night and seeing her every day, just like before the marriage was decided, he wanted to settle down quickly. Now It was decided, and he wanted to marry her back home immediately.It's a pity that my father hasn't set a definite date yet, so he can only go through other etiquettes first.

After the banquet was over, the guests left one after another, Zhao Chen still pretended to be drunk, and was helped by Lin Xian to rest on the kang in the west room.

Different from the last time, Zhao Chen really took a nap this time, and when he woke up, his head was a little groggy.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, habitually calling out: "Water."
