The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 46 I will never bully you again (2)
"Brother Zhao, you're awake." Lin Chongjiu sat on the side untying the Nine Chains he gave him, and when he heard the movement, he immediately went down to pour water for him.

Zhao Chen was completely awake.

Sitting up, he took the tea poured by Lin Chongjiu, and watched his brother-in-law put the teacup back on the table. Zhao Chen was in a good mood, and beckoned Lin Chongjiu to the kang.He stretched his legs against the wall, Lin Chongjiu imitated him, looked at the two legs several times, and said enviously: "Brother Zhao, your legs are really long!"

"Xiao Jiu will grow up like me when he grows up." The boy was innocent, Zhao Chen touched his head, and asked in a low voice: "Is your eldest sister happy these days?"

Lin Chongjiu thought about it carefully, and told the truth: "I'm not unhappy or very happy, it's almost the same as before, but today the eldest sister is very beautiful, she is wearing a red dress, and she has a butterfly hairpin on her head, like a fairy. "

Zhao Chen hadn't seen his fiancée in red clothes yet, and was about to ask how she looked so good, when the curtain next to him was suddenly pulled open, and it was Lin Xian who walked in.Turning around, seeing one big and one small sitting side by side, Lin Xian was a little surprised, and then asked with concern: "Chengyuan woke up, is his head still uncomfortable?"

"Uncle Lao is worried, he's much better, just wash his face in a while." Zhao Chen immediately put on his shoes and got off the ground.

Lin Chongjiu went to the kitchen to prepare washing water, Weng and his son-in-law sat down and chatted, Zhao Chen asked, "Uncle, is it time to collect peanuts these days?"

Lin Xian smiled and said, "We'll have to wait a little longer, maybe at the end of the month. By the way, Chengyuan, have you grown any peanuts in your farm? If you don't have any, bring some back here to try something new. Uncle grows so much at home that you can't finish them all."

Zhao Chen thanked repeatedly, and then said: "Xiao Jiu is still young, so I can't help much. It happens that I'm free at the end of the month, so I'll collect it with you."

Lin Xian was flattered: "No, no, you don't need to do that kind of work. I just ask someone to help. It won't cost much money."

"Could it be that uncle is afraid that my clumsy hands won't help?" Zhao Chen joked with a smile, "Uncle, just let me come over, they say half a son-in-law, before Xiaojiu grows up, Chengyuan will help you with these tasks."

His attitude was sincere, Lin Xian had no choice but to agree, the smile on his face could not be stopped.The son-in-law has this kind of heart, which makes him more comfortable than any number of gifts.

Weng and son-in-law agreed on a specific date, Zhao Chen washed his face, packed up and left.

Watching him turn the corner, the couple entered the yard, Liu closed the door, and went to the west wing to call the eldest daughter: "Aju, let's go, go with mother to see the gift from the Zhao family."

Ah Ju didn't want to go, but her mother was interested, and she was willing to make her happy.Naturally, Lin Zhu also wanted to join in the fun, the three of them went to the upper room side by side, Lin Xian was already waiting there, and Lin Chongjiu was grinning as he unwrapped the red silk from the box.Children don't necessarily care whether the gift inside is expensive or not, but enjoy the excitement of unwrapping it more.

In addition to food such as tea cakes and fruit, there is also a box of jewelry, two boxes of silk and satin, and two boxes of furs.

Lin Xian led Lin Chongjiu out after a general inspection, and Liu Niang and the three were tasting inside, all things women like.

Mrs. Liu had a list of gifts in her hand, and read them to her two daughters one by one. Finally, she carefully held up a piece of red satin, and said to the eldest daughter after deliberation: "Ah Ju, this is Shu brocade. The matchmaker said Mrs. Zhao chose two pieces specially. , one is reserved for Cheng Yuan to make a wedding gown, and the other is given to you as a wedding dress. Let’s not get rid of the previous wedding dress, why don’t you make another one?”

On the wedding day, the bride and groom stood together to pay respects. If the materials on their bodies were too different, it would be a joke.She was engaged to Meng Zhongjing before, and worried that the Meng family didn't have much spare money, so the eldest daughter resigned from the good satin gift from her aunt, and only used fine cloth for her wedding dress.If it can be used directly by marrying someone else, it will definitely not work if married to the Zhao family.

Ah Ju was stunned.

She really didn't think about it so much.

wedding dress...

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the Shu brocade in front of her eyes. It was as cool as water and as red as fire.She looked at it, but there was another wedding dress in her mind, it was her figure sitting in front of the window, stitch by stitch, each stitch was full of joy.

"Ah Ju..." Seeing her lost in thought, Liu Shi called out a little uneasy.

Ah Ju regained his senses, closed his eyes and smiled: "Well, just as Mother said, I will make another one. Mother, you and A Zhu continue to look at it, and I will take it back to compare it first. This material is too expensive, I have to be careful Point, if it is cut, it will be gone.” After speaking, he picked up the piece of Shu brocade and left.

Walking out of the upper room, the sunlight fell on the Shu brocade in her arms, shining brightly, dazzled her eyes.

In the dead of night, Ah Ju burned the original wedding dress, burned it completely, and burned all the past.The next day, she re-threaded the needle and sewed her second wedding dress, just like sewing a normal dress.She embroidered well. Although the wedding dress was cumbersome, it only took five or six days. After all, she was not as caring as before. Every time she dropped the needle, she had to think back and forth, lest she accidentally sew a wrong thread...

During the mid-autumn festival, besides giving gifts to the Lin family, Zhao Chen also gave her the "Molan Picture" from the previous dynasty, with a note attached.

No see in one day, like every three autumns.

The gentle smiling face of a man appeared in front of his eyes, and it turned into a cold frost in an instant, with wolf-like eyes, making people feel cold all over his body.

When helping her mother to light the fire at noon, Ah Ju threw the note into the fire again. As for the picture of orchids, Ah Ju was reluctant to destroy a calligraphy treasure in her own hands, so she put the painting under the box, out of sight and out of mind.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and the Lin family was about to produce peanuts.

Knowing that Zhao Chen was coming, Ah Ju had already made plans, and went back to the guest room immediately after breakfast.Zhao Chen must have had breakfast at home before rushing over, and it would take a while for him to arrive, and she wouldn't be able to meet him without leaving the house.

But Ah Ju still underestimated this man.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Liu was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and Ah Ju was cleaning the yard. After sweeping for a while, Lin Chongjiu shouted loudly at the door: "I'm back!"

My younger brother went to mow the grass in the woods. He used to come back when breakfast was almost ready. Why is it so early today?
Ah Ju turned around suspiciously, and before she could speak, she saw Lin Chongjiu had already entered the gate, followed by a person.The man was tall and tall, wearing gray coarse clothes, with a green cloth turban on his head, and was staring at her intently, with a hint of surprise in his pair of phoenix eyes.

Just when Ah Ju was in a daze about his outfit, Liu stuck her head out from the kitchen, wanting to see why her son came back so early, but when she saw Zhao Chen, she stuttered in surprise, "Chengyuan, you, you Why are you dressed like this? Why are you here so early?"

Zhao Chen smiled as he walked in and said: "I'm going to work in the fields today, this suit is the most suitable. Auntie, I'm afraid I'll be late, I set off before dawn, and I didn't eat breakfast. If Auntie hasn't finished finishing, I'm sorry Make me a copy?"

If someone didn't know him, he would be disgusted if he came to beg early in the morning, but this is a prospective son-in-law!This kind of intimacy is exactly what a family should have. Liu immediately smiled and said, "It's alright, kid, I won't talk about you anymore. Go and sit in the room. Let's eat together later." After speaking, continue Go busy.

When the two were talking, Ah Ju had already put the broom against the wall and was about to enter the house. Later, she asked her sister to bring breakfast to the wing room.

"Ah Ju." Zhao Chen called her.

Ah Ju pretended not to hear.Hasn't he always pretended to be a gentleman in front of others? How dare he call her now?However, when the man raised his voice slightly and shouted again, it was obvious that he would not give up if she didn't stop, Ah Ju had no choice but to stop, and asked him sideways, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Chen has lived in the countryside for so many years, and he knows that the rules in the village are not strict. If the two are not engaged, of course he can't call her, but they are already engaged, and it doesn't hurt to say a few words when they happen to meet. Lin Xian and his wife definitely won't to blame.So he walked over and asked in a voice that only two of them could hear: "Ah Ju, is the wedding dress sewn?" Shu brocade was specially given by him. Not the one prepared for Meng Zhongjing.

"Okay." Ah Ju replied lightly, and turned to leave.

"Aju, are you still angry with me?" Zhao Chenda stepped in front of her, looked at the girl he was thinking about day and night, and said in a low and gentle voice, "I apologize to you for the matter on the mountain, I admit it." I will do whatever it takes to marry you, and I am not honest enough, but please rest assured, now that we are engaged, I will only treat you well in the future, and never bully you again." He wanted to live a good life with her and warm her heart as soon as possible.

Ah Ju just wanted to sneer when she heard this, give her a slap and a sweet date, who wouldn't say good things?If he really wanted to treat her well, he shouldn't force her to marry.

Zhao Chen didn't expect to dispel her anger with just a few words. He changed the subject, pointed to his clothes and asked her: "You think I'm born rich and noble, and I'm not suitable for you. Now that I'm dressed like this, do we match well?" gone?"

Hearing that he was getting more and more serious, Ah Ju glared at him, walked around him up the steps, and hurried into the room.

Zhao Chen smiled to himself and followed Lin Chongjiu to find Lin Xian without further delay.

After exchanging greetings, breakfast was ready, but Sister Aju didn't come over, and used it in the West Wing.

Zhao Chen had already expected it.No matter how few rules there are in the village, there are still some. He can only eat with her after he gets married.

After dinner, Lin Xian led his son-in-law and son to collect peanuts.

The villagers were very surprised to see Zhao Chen on the way, Lin Xian said with a smile that his son-in-law came to help on purpose, and he was indescribably proud.

If Zhao Chen was just a farmer, it would be nothing if he came to help, but Zhao Chen is a pampered young master, and now he is willing to go to the fields to do rough work, which shows how much he cares about his daughter.Now Lin Xian was completely relieved, he was afraid that Zhao Chen would marry his daughter because of etiquette, then he might not treat her sincerely after her daughter married, husband and wife must have affection for each other to truly live together.

The villagers also thought so, and praised Lin Xian for finding a good son-in-law without hesitation, while Zhao Chen was listening silently, with a slight smile on his face.

When they arrived at the field, Lin Xian asked Lin Chongjiu to lead the donkey. He helped the plow, and after a ridge was raised, Lin Xian taught his son-in-law to shake off the soil from the peanut seedlings.This work is very easy to learn, and Zhao Chen is not a delicate temperament who can't bear it, not to mention that today he came here specially to please his father-in-law, of course he worked hard with all his strength, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Lin Xian didn't know how much his son-in-law put his mind to. Seeing him squatting there and working hard, his speed was faster or slower than that of a farmer like himself after he became proficient.

Busy until noon, Lin Zhu came to call them home for dinner, she and Lin Chongjiu walked in front, Zhao Chen, Weng and his son-in-law walked and chatted behind.

Looking at the backs of the siblings in front, Zhao Chen suddenly felt like a dream.Three months ago, he passed by this road on horseback, and met Ah Ju leading his younger brother home, followed by her fiancé. Now the crops on both sides are yellow, and her fiancé has become him.

The world is unpredictable, even he himself can't think of it. At that time, he was only surprised by her beauty, but later he became more and more unable to let go, and tried every means to marry her.

But this feeling is very good.

It's a pity that his beautiful fiancée hid at noon, refusing to let him see her again, and even stayed in the west wing room after lunch, never showing her face.

Disappointment is inevitable, but Zhao Chen is more funny.In Ah Ju's eyes, he should be a wolf, but in his eyes, she is a fawn, he finds it cute even if it dodges, and then looks forward to her reaction when he finally catches her by his side.

After another busy afternoon, Zhao Chen returned to Zhuangzi.

Ning had already been waiting for him in the house, and handed him the letter in his hand: "Your father can come here on the night of October [-], and you have to leave after the wedding banquet the next day."

October?

Zhao Chen took the letter and quickly scanned it.

A bit late, but he could afford to wait.

In another month and a half, she will be his wife.
