take a wife to support the family

Chapter 240

In September, the weather fluctuates from hot to cold. When it’s cold, it’s not enough to wear a jacket, but when it’s hot, it’s no different from summer. It’s the most difficult time to dress. Young people are strong and strong, but those who are weaker can’t help but feel uncomfortable. It's time to get sick.

Lily coughed for two days, drank scallion soup, and ate steamed pears, and within two days she was fine.Xing'er is usually not well at this time of year, this year she is ill as usual, Lily makes some snacks to take to see her every day.

Years are not forgiving, Mrs. Huang next door looks rich, and she also gets sick intermittently. Mr. Huang is not at home, and the housewife cannot be the master. The delicate Miss Huang has to come out to take charge and provoke the leader.

And I don't know if Miss Huang is a virtuous or a fool, and whether she will be deceived by the servant woman when she takes care of family affairs. She only said that the Huang family invited Mr. Liu to come to see him for treatment, and Ms. Huang sent Mr. Liu out. Many lost their souls.

According to people who saw it, Miss Huang had a white face, as if she had never seen the sun, and she was like white jade, with black hair and emerald eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, a silver-red jacket and a white silk skirt, she was the first in the town. Son bright.

The little scholar Liu Rulong saw it, and immediately recited: "Ling waves take small steps, and the socks are dusty."

Most of the country people couldn't understand this, but seeing Miss Huang blushing, she quickly retreated through the door and never came out again.

With this startling side, her fame spread throughout the town. Originally, there were many people who wanted to be the son-in-law of the Huang family who were hanging around here every day, but now there are more people hanging around outside the Huang family. Not the son-in-law of the Huang family, it would be nice to have a glimpse of Ms. Huang's beauty.

The people in the town spread it so magically that Li Caifeng and others inevitably wanted to ask whether it was true or not. Remembering that Lily had seen Ms. Huang's real face, they asked her, "Is she really that good-looking?"

Lily nodded and smiled, "It's really pretty." After thinking about it, she added, "It's still not as good as Chen Jiaxueniang."

Real stunners like Xue Niang are very rare, if a good lady like that is born with that appearance, it would be a burden instead.

In fact, there is one thing Lily is very curious about: "I heard people say that Miss Huang's feet are only three inches long. Although I have seen her, I have never seen her feet, so I don't know if it is true or not."

Li Caifeng said: "They must be talking nonsense."

"Why do you say that?"

"You don't know when you are young. In the past, there were many people with bound feet. Later, the emperor specially ordered that women are not allowed to bind their feet. If they find a daughter with bound feet, their parents will arrest them and beat them with a board." I heard from my mother that she was afraid that I would not be able to get married if I didn't bind my feet, so I didn't dare to bind them."

The imperial court abandoned Li Caifeng's feet binding when she was born, and Li Caifeng was a few years younger than her. When Li Caifeng was able to bind her little feet when she was seven or eight years old, no one mentioned it.

Originally, binding feet is something that wealthy people only pay attention to. As poor as the Li bamboo craftsman’s family, even if the court did not order, their family would not be able to bind their daughter’s feet—the daughter with bound feet can’t go up and down. There is nothing but good looks use?
Miss Huang is two or three years younger than Lily, and Mrs. Huang seems to have bound feet, her gait and posture are different, but Miss Huang has natural feet, and the so-called small feet are obviously a random rumor in the town.

When Baihe told Li Caifeng about this, she didn't know that Little Foot's words came from a young scholar.

But he said that Liu Rulong, a young scholar, is a scholar, and he loves Fengya very much. He has read countless scripts, and yearns for the ladies in the scripts.

How gentle and virtuous the lady in the storybook is, how considerate, how she wants to marry the scholar regardless of her poverty, and even take a beautiful concubine for him. Men are not allowed to look at the wild flowers on the roadside more than once.

Xiao Xiucai felt that it was all the fault of the imperial court ordering to let go.

If today's women still have their feet bound, how can there be so many shrews in this town, how many of them can even knock him to the ground when they are aggressive?
A woman with small feet must be as virtuous and virtuous as it is written in the storybook. She pretends to support her husband's family, allows her mother-in-law to beat and scold her, and does not forget to take concubines for her husband.

Since seeing Ms. Huang that day, Xiao Xiucai's heart has flown to Ms. Huang, thinking that she is the beautiful Ms. Cui Yingying, and he himself is the sad and sick scholar Zhang Junrui.

It's a pity that Miss Huang doesn't have a matchmaker by her side to help her thread the needle, but it doesn't matter, Miss Huang is so beautiful and rich, she must have a pair of three-inch golden lotus feet to be worthy of her status.

Since ancient times, a talented man has been matched with a beautiful woman. It doesn’t matter if a talented man is poor.The beautiful woman took care of the housework for him, supported his parents, and raised his children. When the talented man came home, he saw that the beautiful woman was old and decrepit, and her beauty was no longer there. More children with concubines...

Thinking about the stories of such talented scholars and beauties, Liu Rulong felt so carefree and happy, his saliva dripped with envy.While thinking about Ms. Huang's little feet, she walked into the house, and saw Song Xiuxiu standing there with a big belly, her round face was twice as swollen as before, and she was as clumsy as a bulging water tank.

Song Xiuxiu said: "Master, you are back."

Liu Rulong frowned and said, "If you're not in the house to take good care of it, what are you doing out there?"

Song Xiuxiu was stunned, she didn't go out for several months, she ate at home all day to replenish her body, she didn't even feel like fighting with her mother-in-law, she hoped that Xiao Xiucai would come back every day, even if she only had a word or two with her, she could still Happy day.

But recently the little Xiucai has become more and more impatient, and she was willing to ask her a few words for the sake of the child in her stomach, but these days, she looks like a stable, scolding her at every turn, no matter how stupid Song Xiuxiu is, she knows that something is wrong.

She suspected that there was a little goblin outside to seduce the soul of the little scholar, but she was not allowed to go out, so she couldn't beat the little goblin until his head was bleeding.He intends to have a good talk with the little scholar, to draw the little scholar's thoughts back home, and let him know how good the wife is at home, but unexpectedly, the little scholar refuses to follow her way, and refuses to say a word to her.

The little Xiucai went to the house to read a book, dreaming about the words of a gifted man and a beautiful woman, while Song Xiuxiu stood in the yard blankly, full of grievances.At this time, Xiucai's mother came out of the house, saw her standing in the yard, and hurriedly called: "Xiuxiu, come inside quickly, it's windy outside."

Song Xiuxiu blinked, remembering that her mother-in-law looked at her like a phoenix egg these days, she wanted to get some advice from her, and walked into the house while saying: "Mother, I have something to say to you."

What Xiucai Niang valued was the eldest grandson in her womb, so she didn't want to hear what she had to say, but seeing Song Xiuxiu coaxing her eye circles and her stubborn face, she had no choice but to say nicely, "Success, tell me."

Ever since she married into the Liu family, Song Xiuxiu's heart had been attached to Xiao Xiucai. Even when her relationship with her mother-in-law was at its worst, she treated Xiao Xiucai very well and never said anything bad about him.

At this moment, he thought he was relying on his body, and felt aggrieved, so he pouted and complained to his mother-in-law, telling the things of the past few days, saying: "Mother, you have to take care of your husband."

Xiucai's mother thought to herself, you are a woman, who allows you to take care of men's affairs?Do you still want to rule over my son?

His eyes fell on Song Xiuxiu's tall belly, and he finally nodded: "Don't worry, I'll tell him to go!"

Song Xiuxiu thought that she had won her mother-in-law's favor, and said with a smile: "Mother, I rely on you." She planned well, her husband is a scholar, filial, as long as her mother-in-law asks, he will never refuse.

No matter how many goblins out there fell in love with her husband-in-law and wanted to marry him as a scholarly lady, she is the scholarly lady that Mingmei is marrying!In the end, the Fengguan Xiapei earned by Xianggong is still his own, and no one else will think about it.

Xiucai's mother came out of Song Xiuxiu's house. She saw her son was studying and didn't dare to disturb her. She stood at the door for a while, and saw her son's face was smiling for a while, and she said he was studying, but it didn't look like it. She couldn't help but hesitated and said: "If dragon."

The little scholar surprised his mother, the dream was interrupted, so he was about to get angry, remembering that this is his mother, a scholar must be filial and not disrespectful to his parents, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Xiucai's mother went into the room and whispered: "You can see your wife's belly too. It's so big and pointed. She must be a big fat boy. For your son's sake, you should treat her better."

A stern look suddenly appeared on the little scholar's face, and he slowly said: "It's not just a son, it's not like I can't have another son in the future."

Xiucai Niang was so startled that she almost jumped up, she turned her head suddenly to look outside, Song Xiuxiu was still in the room, she thought she couldn't hear this, so she hurriedly looked her son up and down, almost suspecting that he was talking nonsense.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you, a child like a dragon is ignorant, talk nonsense, Bodhisattva bless my grandson safe..."

After praying, he approached the little scholar and asked in a low voice, "Tell mother honestly, are you outside?"

The little scholar sneered and said, "That's right, I'm in love with a young lady and I want to marry her."

If you want to marry that lady, there is a yellow-faced woman who is pregnant at home, what should I do?
Xiucai's mother is not Song Xiuxiu who doesn't go out. These days, she knows the gossip in the town better than anyone else. After a little thought, she knows who her son is talking about: "Could it be that Miss Huang?"

The little scholar nodded reservedly, and her mother opened her eyes wide and said: "I saw their family move that day, they are so rich, if Miss Huang gets married, how much dowry will she have..."

The little scholar nodded and said: "That's right, Miss Huang is both talented and beautiful, and her family background is good, such a talent is worthy to be our daughter-in-law."

The Xiucai lady couldn't help but sighed deeply, hating the little Xiucai for marrying too early and giving up the throne of a scholar lady to Song Xiuxiu for nothing. Can a person like Miss Huang still be a concubine?
The little scholar looked at his mother and said: "It doesn't matter, since a woman gives birth to a child, it is a hell of a gate, and there are quite a few dead and two lives. Then I will marry another house."

When he had a daughter-in-law, he couldn't be the son-in-law of the Huang family, but if he became a widower, he could do it.Now he looks down on Song Xiuxiu's stomach because his eldest son should crawl out of Miss Huang's stomach.
