Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 20

Ding Erniang, who came in to watch the ceremony together, saw that Wu Ling and Zhang Mu's eyes met, and the eyes were about to burst into flames. She thought to herself: When she knew that A Ling was going to marry Zhang Mu, she was a little surprised. Well, it's not the time for her to be fifteen or sixteen years old. After five years of training in Zhao's family, no matter how lively the little girl is, she will be overshadowed.Later, when Wu Ling ran to Zhang's house again and again, she even quietly asked Second Master Ding why Wu Ling was so interested in a woman!
Seeing the two people's eyes intertwined now, Ding Erniang couldn't help feeling, ah, how can there be so many reasons for young men and women to look at each other!Seeing that Wu Ling was still in a daze and reluctant to leave, Erniang Ding reminded her aloud:

"A Ling, the bride will not be melted here, but if you don't go to the front, you will probably be fined and melted in the wine jar!"

Wu Ling heard his teacher's wife calling him, looked over for no reason, and suddenly felt that the people watching the ceremony in the room were laughing loudly, and just now he realized that he bowed his hands in a few words of courtesy, and went to the front to entertain the guests.

Sitting on the bed, Zhang Mu couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled. Just now, she must have seen that his ears were red, like boiled prawns.

There were many female customers in the house, and Erniang Ding briefly introduced them to Zhang Mu. Most of them were family members of families who had business dealings with Ding's shop on weekdays, and there were also neighbors of Ding's family for many years.

Zhang Mu looked over at a glance, and there were a few ladies in rich clothes, one of them was particularly conspicuous in a purple swallow skirt, her whole body was shining in gold, her eyes were a little dazzled, and she had a string of one and a half on her left hand. Finger-wide gold inlaid jade bracelets, a string of agate bracelets, a green jade bracelet, a gold ring on the ring finger and middle finger, and a jade ring on the little finger.A few strings of Buddhist beads were wrapped around his right hand, Zhang Mu hurriedly moved his eyes, and if he looked any further, his eyes would be blinded.

There are also a few girls wearing cicada buns and buns. Two girls are closer to her. One is slightly fatter in a butterfly skirt with a round face, and the other makes people want to get closer. She was talking to Ding Erniang's natal relatives.There was another one who was thinner, wearing a scarlet double-breasted feather gauze dress and a skirt of the same color underneath, standing lightly on the head of her bed.

Zhang Mu felt that if the girl put on a hijab and combed her hair in a woman's bun, she wouldn't know who was the bride.He frowned intuitively.

Ding Erniang saw that she was looking at the girl standing next to her, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and said with a smile: "Miss and wives, let me sit at the table, otherwise the men will have finished their drinks in a while, we still have to drink." You didn't move your chopsticks!"

The Mrs. Cheng, who was dressed in gold, smiled heartily: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go now, or your little daughter-in-law in Wuling will show us a piece of meat!"

Ding Erniang couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You are used to laughing at people. I'll just say it today. I really can't bear to show you Wu Ling's little daughter-in-law! If you think it's good, you can visit my house often in the future." valid reason!"

While Ding Erniang was talking, she glanced at the thin girl who was still standing on the wooden bed, and turned her head slightly to wink at her niece Xianglan.Then he took Mrs. Cheng and the others out together.

Xianglan glanced at the girl who was still standing in front of her sister-in-law like a piece of wood, she felt a little disdainful, she still smiled and stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "Sister Chu, today, I won't let you compete with me. Bridesmaid, I have held back a lot of private things to say to my sister-in-law!"

Miss Chu saw that Xianglan didn't show her face like this, her face was slightly uneasy, she tried her best to calm down her face, and smiled lightly at Zhang Mu: "Then I won't bother Wu's sister-in-law today, brother Ling and I I grew up together since I was a child, and my sister-in-law should not be polite to me in the future."

Zhang Mu smiled slightly at the girl, but didn't answer.She is the bride today, Mrs. Zhang had told her earlier that when she arrived at her husband's house, she had to wait for Wu Ling to speak to her before she could speak, saying that this was called a husband's singing and a wife's following.Zhang Mu didn't believe this, but he wanted to make a good start, and he was too lazy to talk to this girl who didn't know the height of her eyebrows.

Seeing that Zhang Mu didn't speak a word, Miss Chu had no choice but to go forward.

Xianglan immediately went up and closed the door, not caring that the palms of Miss Chu who had just stepped out of the door were almost torn.

Xianglan walked to the bed, sat on the couch below, and without looking at Zhang Mu, she said to herself, "Sister-in-law, my aunt told me that I can't tease you today, so don't talk. Let me tell you! I know a lot of interesting things!"

So, Zhang Mu heard that the girl had gone from being a daughter-in-law in the east to confronting her mother-in-law aggressively, to an 80-year-old rich man in the west taking a 16-year-old concubine. Clearly count which family's girl stole the family's eggs to save the dowry and sell them.

When Wu Ling came back, it was already dark outside, and a group of noisy people came from the front room, Zhang Mu was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.

Xianglan stood up and went to open the door, saying: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I know who they are, and I will chase them away for you in a while!"

As soon as the Xianglan door was opened, a boy rushed in. Xianglan turned her head and saw that it was none other than her cousin, and she couldn't help but dissatisfied: "Why are you here to make trouble!"

Seeing her cousin with her hips akimbo, Azhu saw her cousin's hips akimbo, luckily she didn't point at his nose, so she said embarrassingly, "Brother Ling is getting married, I have to come to the bridal chamber no matter what!"

Xianglan stepped forward, raised her hand suddenly and pinched his ear, and said, tell me what you said just now, sister, I didn't hear it!

Seeing Wu Ling being treated so roughly by Xianglan, a group of boys burst into laughter. One lively one laughed and said, "Xianglan, why haven't you changed your figure or temper all these years? Still so hot!"

"Hmph, Brother Qian, don't you want to taste the taste of twisting your ears too, and tell my sister-in-law of the Qian family when I get back!" Xiang Lan said with extreme contempt.

"Okay, little aunt, grandma, I won't mess with you. Last time you told my daughter-in-law that I saved private money, I knelt all night!" The Qian family boy immediately begged for mercy.It's really helpless, Xianglan has a bad temper, but my daughter-in-law just likes to joke with this girl, every time Xianglan comes, she can't wait to let her live at home.

Xianglan stayed in Ding's house for a few years when she was a child, and she was very close to most of the middle-aged and middle-aged people in this town. There was a girl in Xianglan, and everyone didn't want to make trouble, so they had to walk away reluctantly.I don't know if Wu Ling, who has always been calm, can still be calm tonight!

Wu Ling went to the front yard and closed the gate, and when he returned to the wing room, he saw Zhang Mu still sitting upright on the bed, and said softly, "Amu, let me bring you water to wash!"

Zhang Mu nodded and said softly, "Okay!" Then he saw Wu Ling running to the kitchen in a hurry.

Zhang Mu was a little stunned, why did she feel that he seemed to be running away impatiently!
