pastoral wedding

Chapter 39 Back to the Door
The Su family has already opened the door at this time, and today is the day when the eldest girl of the Su family returns home. The Su family is all happily dressed and waiting, even brother Shuo has been authorized by his mother, so he doesn't have to go to the house today. school.

Su Jin cooks in person, and Su Shuang brings Qiuliang and Dongzhi to help. He is busy washing and cutting vegetables at the moment.Regarding the Su family's cooking, their mother Liu has emphasized several times that she wants to buy a cook to cook for the family, but it is not easy to buy a cook who can cook, and the life of the Su family during this time Su Jin and Su Shuang just took over the job because of financial difficulties. Mrs. Liu was still nagging about the fact that a good girl has thick hands, and the two sisters ignored her. What about being a lady, marrying into a wealthy family, etc.

Liu Yi asked Su Ji's second child to bring some green vegetables and meat early in the morning, and Mu Lin even asked Mrs. Zeng to ask if they needed help, but Su Jin rejected her. She can do it by herself, so why bother? The business in the restaurant.

Looking at the ingredients in the kitchen, Su Jin remembered that her elder sister loved sweets the most, and seeing fresh lotus root, she made lotus root with sweet-scented osmanthus and glutinous rice. ;Other Su Jin thought about it, and made black fish tofu soup, sweet and sour short ribs, chicken in sour soup, braised pork with potatoes, braised eggplant in braised sauce, fried pork with green peppers, and the staple food was pan-fried buns with chicken sauce and scallion finger cakes. There was a big table full of dishes, and Brother Shuo was drooling, Su Jin picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and stuffed it into his mouth, making his face bulge, causing Liu Shi to stare at him.

After leaving the kitchen, Su Jin found that her back was drenched. This June is really not a good season to go to the kitchen.Fanning the wind with her hands, Su Jin looked up at the trees in the yard. They were all lush and lush. They said that the trees were big and attracted the wind. The big tree in her yard attracted the wind. Standing under the tree, it felt cool.

"Winter Solstice, I'm going to take a bath and change clothes. If my mother calls me, or if my elder sister and elder brother Chen come, just tell them that I have something to do in the room, and I will go out in a while." Su Jin ordered She entered her room, and there was a bathtub in her room.Winter Solstice responded and went to the kitchen to fetch water for her, then went to the room to put away the clothes the girl was going to wear, and then went out.

After taking a bath, Su Jin put on a clean blue green bamboo skirt, and put on the same color embroidered shoes that her elder sister made last year, when she heard laughter outside, guessing that it was the elder sister who came, so she hurriedly braided her hair into a big Braids, left behind the head and went forward.When she came to the front yard, she happened to bump into her mother and second sister, who were surrounded by the eldest sister, coming to the back yard. Seeing her, Su Tang smiled and said, "What kind of hair is this? It's easy."

Su Jin smiled and stepped forward to hug her arm, "I'm in a hurry to come out to meet you."

The four mothers went to Liu's house to talk about family affairs. Han Chen himself was accompanied by Su Wenshan, Liu Yi and brother Shuo in the front hall. Their family didn't learn from some big family to have inner and outer courtyards. It was because Mrs. Liu wanted to ask about her daughter's situation at her in-law's house, so naturally it was not good to do so in front of her son-in-law.

After the few people were seated, Su Tang habitually took the comb from Dongzhi's hand and combed Su Jin's hair. While combing, he muttered: "If I can't do it myself, I won't ask my mother or your second sister to do it for you? Even Dongzhi and the others can do it for you." Comb your hair for you, how can you go out like this? You won’t be read when you come to your in-law’s house..."

"Tang'er, how does your mother-in-law treat you?" Liu Shi couldn't help asking when she heard the word "in-law's family".

Su Tang hurriedly laughed, "Don't worry, mother, my in-laws are good to me, Zi Shu is also very good to me, even the concubine sisters didn't bother me." With a confident expression, he hurriedly added, "Isn't Zicheng still here? You all know that he lived in our house and treated me very well, but the servants couldn't do it, and Zishu was too busy." When I came, he was the one who helped me."

Han Yu is an unwelcome existence in the Han family, but in the Su family, she is very popular with the Su family, especially the Liu family. Although she didn't say anything, everyone in the family is guessing whether she plans to take another daughter as well. Packing it up and sending it to Han's house, Su Shuang and Su Jin were both on guard, fearing that this person might be themselves.

"Really?" With a smile on her face, Liu clasped her hands together, "Amitabha, it's fortunate that your father and I gave those dowries back then, so the old lady shouldn't make things difficult for you just because of this."

If only I could read this, Su Tang smiled wryly in his heart, those Suns who dowry as dowry really wanted to go, but after listening to the little sister's words, he held it tightly in his hands, she had no way out, so naturally he also I'm not angry, but what the little girl said is that if she really likes her daughter-in-law, she will like it regardless of whether she has a generous dowry. Go in, not worth it.

"Speaking of which, it's almost the end of the month. At the beginning of next month, I want to go to Yunchan Temple to offer incense. In a few days, Zishu will go to Beijing to catch the exam. I want to ask for a talisman for him."

This year's township examination is at the end of August. Han Chen originally wanted to go to Beijing a few months ago, so he found a place to settle down in advance to review and prepare for the exam. It was just because he was going to get married that he delayed until now. Now that he is married, then He just had to go. Fortunately, his elder sister Han Yuniang married to the capital. A few days ago, she wrote to let her younger brother live in her house to wait for the exam. After he went, he could settle down directly, which also saved a lot of time.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly smiled and nodded when she heard the words, smiling so that the old god was present, "That's right, I just happen to be able to ask the Sending Son Bodhisattva, and my mother and your two younger sisters will also go with you, and they can also ask for a marriage lottery." .”

It is said that the marriage lottery at Yunchan Temple has always been very accurate. Of course, the monks in the temple also said that only those who are destined can ask for a lottery.

Immediately, there was a row of black lines on the heads of Su Tang and the two younger sisters. My mother is really, she can think of this at any time, and she really convinced her.

After a while, Brother Shuo ran in and plunged into Su Tang's arms, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen said he was hungry, dad asked me to ask when the meal is served?"

Upon hearing this, Liu patted her forehead, "You see, I'm serious, Jin'er has already cooked the food, let's go eat."

The sisters all stood up when they heard the words, hugged the elder sister's arms one by one and went to the dining room. The dining room of their house is next to the front living room.Chunyi and the others hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring up the food, and served the Su family for dinner.

During the banquet, it was a long story, and Liu tried every means to ask about Su Tang's situation in Han's house. Han Chen smiled and resolved them one by one, changing the subject and praising Su Jin's delicious dishes, and talking about the past few years. Some strange people and strange things outside, what I saw and heard, seeing everyone, especially Mrs. Liu, listening seriously, I was relieved in private, glanced at Su Tang, and saw that she was looking at me with a smile, so I went back She smiled.

Before leaving, Su Zhen took her elder sister's hand, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Eldest sister, don't be afraid, if there is anything wrong with your mother, just tell me and second sister, we can find a way Help you."

Su Tang knew that this little girl of hers was always the most eccentric and thoughtful. He was moved in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He just nodded with a smile, squeezed her hand, and said: "Thank you." Then he turned around. Followed Han Chen.

Besides, in the Han family at this time, Mr. Han Han Zhizhong was sitting in Mrs. Sun's room drinking tea while listening to Mrs. Sun calculate the latest accounts of the family for him. something to come.Han Zhizhong suddenly thought of something when he heard it, and he put down the teacup with Pisces playing in the water and asked her: "Today is the day when Zishu's daughter-in-law returns home. Are you ready to send some specialties from Zhuangzi?" He said, "We owe a great debt to the Su family. If it wasn't for the old man of the Su family to save me, I wouldn't be where I am today. You will be better to Zishu's wife in the future, and you won't have to point at my spine and scold me. "

Mrs. Sun snorted coldly, and threw the account book on the table, "Isn't it the Su family? We have repaid the kindness for decades, and it should have been paid off a long time ago. Besides, this will bring another son into it." Well, what else is going on?"

Han Zhizhong put the teacup on the table heavily, and said angrily: "So in your heart, your master and my life are worth the money of those things over the years?"

Hearing that he was so serious, Mrs. Sun was afraid to say anything, she just lowered her head while drinking tea and said, "That's not what I meant, master, don't worry."

In this era where husbands are king, if Sun Shi really complies with these words, then even if Han Zhizhong divorces him, she can't say anything. If she is really divorced because of this, I am afraid that Sun Shi will be lonely for the rest of her life. Even if she could remarry, no one would dare to ask for her again, so she couldn't admit it.

"What did you bring back to Zishu's daughter-in-law today?" Han Zhizhong snorted, then turned around and asked about it again. The things he brought represented his decency, and he couldn't be controlled by others.

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun was even more afraid to speak, she didn't know what to say, if he found out if she lied, the consequences would be more serious, if she told the truth, she would not be able to get a good result! "Well, er, Zishu didn't come to tell me when he and his wife went back. I don't know. I prepared a lot of things, including cloth, satin, pastries and snacks, but they didn't come. I... ..."

Han Zhizhong squinted at her, "So you just put up your mother-in-law's score and didn't send it to them?"

Sun's hands were tightly twisted together, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Just as he didn't know what to say, he saw the box of tea in his hand, picked it up, and brought it to Han Zhizhong, "Look, sir!" , this tea was brought back from the capital by Yunniang, it is the top-quality sparrow tea, you can smell the fragrance of this tea..."

"Crack!" Sun stared blankly at the tea box in her hand being knocked over, her palms were sticky, why is it so hot today?Has the ice in the corner melted?Why are you sweating so much?
