pastoral wedding

Chapter 53 Eavesdropping
As soon as Liu Yi heard it, he knew it was not a good thing, so he just hung his head and said nothing.Seeing him like this, Liu Shumin sighed helplessly, glanced at his daughter-in-law, and indicated that it was better for her to speak.

Jiang's eyes were full of eagerness, and she looked at Liu Yi earnestly and said, "Yi'er, mother knows that you don't want us to force you, but your father and I only have one son like you, we think you are too old, don't we?" It's time to get married? Everyone says to start a family and start a business. Now, with the blessing of your aunt's family, you are doing well. Your father and I have saved the money you brought back to the family all this time. We will wait until you get married. It's time for you." After saying this, the old couple stared at their son together.

Liu Yi raised his head and spread his hands helplessly, "Father, mother, it's not that I don't want to get married, but that the sons you told me really look down on me."

Fortunately, they finally didn't say that they didn't want to end up like this. The old couple breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and asked hopefully: "Then what do you want? You tell us so that we can find out for you."

Liu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to his parents, "Let me think about it, and I will tell you when I go back from rest next time."

When Liu Shumin and Jiang Shi heard this, they thought that this was the only way they could do it. It was better to be on the safe side if something happened to the kid who was too urgent. Since he agreed, it would be possible sooner or later.

Taking advantage of Sun's restraint being lifted, Su Tang went back to her mother's house as soon as she was free for a few days.The Su family was very happy, especially the two sisters Su Shuang and Su Jin. Su Shuang was better. When Su Jin saw her eldest sister, she would pester her, asking questions and busying herself with that, lest she be in the Han family. I was wronged.

Although Chun Yi and Xia Mo went to Han's house with Su Tang, but because they were bought together with Qiu Liang and Dong Zhi, they had a very good relationship, so the four of them also got together and chatted together when they met. endless.

"Sister Chunyi, it's great to see you and sister Xiamo often," Dongzhi smiled and showed two little canine teeth, "We used to be so lively together, but now there are only me and sister Qiuliang at home, it's so boring. "

Chunyi is the oldest among them, at fifteen, and the most calm and introverted person. He just laughed when he heard the words, but Xia Mo was irritable. To be bought into such a family and to be able to follow such a good master is the blessing we have cultivated for several lifetimes, and you are still bored if you are idle, how about letting you do coolies?"

Winter Solstice laughed, "Sister Chunyi, look at Sister Xia Mo, she is still so good at bullying!"

Everyone laughed and had a great time.At this time, Qiu Liang suddenly stood up, smiled and greeted the people wandering outside the window, "Mr. Liu, what's the matter?" Because Liu Yi was the accountant, everyone called him Mr. Liu.

The four of Chunyi gathered in Qiuliang's house, so Qiuliang thought Liu Yi was looking for her, so she asked.Who would have thought that Liu Yi would stammer instead, with an unnatural expression on his face.Qiu Liang and the other four looked at each other in surprise.

Finally, Chunyi stood up and smiled at him, "Mr. Liu, just say what you have to do, why don't you be polite to us maids?"

"Miss, can you come out for a while, I, I have something to ask you." Liu Yi scratched his head, his face turned red.

"Me?" Chunyi pointed at herself in surprise, "Mr. Liu looking for me?"

Xia Mo and the others here seem to have noticed something, and they all smiled and pushed her away, "They are looking for you, don't hurry up."

Chun Yi immediately blushed, was pushed out by several sisters, followed Liu Yi to a quiet place, stopped and asked uneasily: "What's the matter with Mr. Liu? Just talk here, otherwise It doesn't matter if people see you gossiping, I'm just a maid, and I've already gone to Han's house with the eldest girl, sir, your reputation will be bad."

Liu Yi looked up at her, "Fame is not important to me, I came to you just to ask you one thing."

"What's the matter? Mr. Liu just talk."

Liu Yi blushed again and again, but in the end he was timid and didn't say anything.Spring is a little anxious, Xia Mo and the others are still waiting for her, if she stays here for a long time, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be misunderstood and made fun of.

"Sir, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. Our girl doesn't know why to go back to the Han Mansion. It is not good for me to stay here for a long time. Please forgive me." Regardless of what he was going to say, Chunyi turned her head just go.As soon as Liu Yi was in a hurry, he reached out and grabbed Chun Yi's hand, and said anxiously: "I want to ask if you want to marry me?"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned. After a while, Liu Yi mustered up the courage to look up into Chun Yi's eyes, and repeated softly but firmly: "I want to ask you whether you want to marry me or not?" ?”

Chunyi's face was already flushed red, like the red pomegranates hanging on the treetops in autumn.Hearing that she just lowered her head and didn't speak, Liu Yi got anxious and shook her shoulders, and then she choked out such a sentence, "Why would Mr. Liu think so?"

"Boys' colleges should be married and girls' colleges should be married. We are not young anymore. Haven't you already reached the age of this year? Can't we talk about this?"

"Sir," Chunyi pushed away his hands on her shoulders, "Chunyi is just a maidservant who sold herself to the Su family, and has already gone to the Han family as the dowry of the eldest girl. Girls are the ones to call the shots."

"So as long as I talk to my eldest sister about this matter, you will agree if she agrees?" Liu Yi looked at her seriously, and he was overjoyed. In the past year in Su Ji, he has met many people. Every young girl has a different temperament, but for some reason, there is always spring in his heart. Such a hardworking and simple girl, to be honest, she is not very good-looking, at best she can only be delicate, But I just like her, it has nothing to do with her looks.

"Sir, you are not playing with me, are you?" Thinking of her own background, Chunyi restrained her embarrassment just now, and smiled wryly, "Mr. knows that I am a maid, but he doesn't know my background. I have no father or mother since I was young, only one elder brother Last year, my brother came back after marrying his sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is very powerful. She didn't want me to be an eyesore at home, so she wanted to marry me off as soon as possible. If someone from a well-off family can’t afford a tael of silver, my sister-in-law will discuss it with my brother and sell me for five taels of silver.” Chun Yi’s expression was flat, showing no sadness or joy, It's like telling someone else's story.

"My brother likes to gamble, and I fight with my sister-in-law at home all the time. Now my sister-in-law is pregnant, but my brother has lost all the valuables in the house. A few days ago, my brother came to Han's house to look for me , let me help him, and said that if I don’t give the money, my sister-in-law will reconcile with him.” After speaking, he looked at Liu Yi seriously, “It’s not that I don’t have a long memory and I have to help count the money after being sold, but I My elder brother is the only male in the family. My parents put all their hopes on him before they were alive, pointing to him to shine on the lintel. Now, although I know it is impossible, they still have to prop up the door of my family. If my sister-in-law reconciles with him, I'm afraid that his virtuous man will never be able to marry again. I can't just watch our family be cut off like this. I still have these burdens. Sir, let's think about it. I'm really not a good match for your husband." After speaking, he turned and left.

"Could it be that you won't marry because of your family?" Liu Yi shouted behind her.

Chunyi turned her head, smiled bitterly, "Maybe." After saying this, she left without looking back.

Liu Yi stood there in a daze, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out, feeling drowsy.

Suddenly a pair of white and tender hands landed on his shoulders, and a sigh came from behind, "Oh! I thought Cousin Yi, you are an indomitable man, why are you so stupid when you encounter such a trivial matter?"

Su Jin turned around from behind him with her hands behind her back and a smile, with a green leaf stuck to her black hair, she looked at him seriously and said, "Cousin Yi, if you really like someone, it's because of her." People still like her family? Is she the one who is going to marry or is she married with her elder brother and sister-in-law?"

Before Liu Yi could react, he replied in a daze: "Of course I want to marry her, I like her."

"Then you don't help her when she encounters difficulties? Just watch her being dragged down by her family? You have to know that if you give up, she may never meet another person who treats her so sincerely like you and doesn't despise her family. It is." Su Jin pretended to be old-fashioned and patted him on the shoulder, "So, you can't give up, I believe that uncle and aunt will also support you, think about it, what Sister Chunyi cares about is that her family can't be cut off. , just wait for her sister-in-law to give birth to the child. If it's a boy, then her worries will be over. If it's a little girl, you don't have to be so patient. If her sister-in-law wants to leave, just leave. Wait for her to leave If you give her more money to marry an honest woman for her brother, in my opinion, Sister Chunyi's sister-in-law can sell her, which shows that this person hates her. If she makes trouble again, she won't let her get back together. things." In this era, women who are divorced will not be looked down upon by others, and there are good people who are willing to marry again, but it will not be so easy if they are divorced.

After saying this, Su Jin smiled, "Cousin Yi, think about it carefully, you can't let me down, sister Chunyi is a good person." After speaking, she ran away quickly.

Seeing her running farther and farther, Liu Yi, who was in deep thought, woke up and roared, "Su Jin, how dare you eavesdrop on us!?"
