Chapter 1 Frozen to death in the river
In the first few days of spring, there was still a thin layer of ice floating on the river at the entrance of the village. The villagers who were working in the fields around Soy Milk tried their best to avoid it, so as not to accidentally fall down and freeze to death if not drowned.
At this moment, a bright red figure rolled down from the cracks in the trees at the other end of the river, and plunged into the piercing river water.
With a "plop", a big hole was smashed out of the thin ice on the ice surface, and the person who fell didn't even spit out a bubble, and kept sinking.
The villagers were stunned for a while, and hurriedly picked up the man who fell into the river with the things in their hands, some with hoes, and some with dung scoops. Anyway, they all rushed into the river, trying to rescue the man.
When Lin Huiru was conscious, the only feeling she felt was the cold, the kind of cold that pierced deeply into every cell of her through the skin, making her unable to cry out, and it seemed that she had difficulty breathing again when she opened her mouth, like I drank a big mouthful of iced water, and it froze from my mouth to my heart.
Give her one more chance, she wouldn't go on that casual trip even if she died, and she didn't want to try again because of the feeling of being suffocated by Xue Huo! If it weren't for how beautiful the ice and snow world described in the book is, and how proud it is to conquer a snow mountain, how could she make fun of her own life?
She still has to go to school! Lin Huiru struggled to open her eyes, but was so frightened by the oncoming cold that she almost sank again. what happened? Didn't she encounter an avalanche? How could it appear in a river?
In an instant, some images flashed through my mind like a movie playing at double speed. Lin Huiru tried her best to recall and found that this was a woman's experience. At the age of thirteen, she was forced to marry someone she didn't like, and on the second day after she got married, she wore her newlywed clothes and planned to go find her former lover. As a result, when he was copying the path up the mountain, he was pushed from behind by a mysterious person and rolled into the river.
The picture is gone here, Lin Hui is in a fog, I don't know why there are these pictures.
But she didn't dare to think too much. Before her strength was exhausted, Lin Huiru grabbed a piece of wood dangling in front of her and swam vigorously upwards.
It was not until she finally breathed fresh air that Lin Huiru discovered the biggest problem.
The people standing on the bank were all uniformly dressed, most of them were wearing old brown cotton-padded clothes, their faces were red and chapped, and they kept poking into the water with agricultural tools in their hands, and they didn't know what they were poking.
"Oh, come up, come up! That talented lady from the Xu family is coming up." An aunt shouted at the others, while still complacent, saying that her pole was different, and she rescued people with just a poke.
Lin Huiru was completely confused. These people called her...a scholar lady? Lady? Isn't this name too old? Could it be?
She looked down and saw a flower embroidered on her chest, and her whole body was also bright red, which looked the same as what she wore when she got married. But she... doesn't have a boyfriend yet!
When Lin Huiru panicked, the aunt had already extended a helping hand and pulled Lin Hui, who was soaked all over, ashore.
"You were just newly married yesterday, why did you jump into the river today?" the aunt said in an angry tone, hating iron for steel.
Who doesn't know that the kid from the Xu family will definitely have a future? Is it wrong to marry him? This girl really doesn't know what to do.
"I... accidentally slipped, I didn't jump into the river." Lin Huiru's heart was pounding, and she finally sorted out her thoughts a little bit.
Lin Huiru, no, she is no longer "Lin Huiru", but another "Lin Huiru" with a completely different fate. This Lin Huiru has a domineering and stubborn personality, not to mention selfishness, loves vanity, and is invincible in the world with one mouth. Otherwise, why did she run away in anger yesterday when she just entered the new house?
Lin Huiru lowered her head in despair. She is definitely dead in modern times, buried in the avalanche. But the soul is in the body of a woman who just fell into the water. Do you want to live this life for her?
The aunt touched Lin Huiru's head, and said softly, "Go back quickly, what happened on the second day of the wedding, do you still want to be famous?"
After finishing speaking, she pushed Lin Huiru on the road to the village, surrounded by people watching Finally, they all went their separate ways.
No one noticed, a pair of embroidered shoes stomped on the spot in the woods across the river, and then disappeared quickly.
Lin Huiru's explanation was considered timely, and everyone believed that she stepped on the air and fell into the river. Otherwise, the whole village would probably know that a newly married daughter-in-law of the Xu family committed suicide by jumping into the river yesterday.
Just after the new year, there are strings of red peppers hanging under the eaves of each house, and there are a few skewers of bacon. Lin Huiru walked back relying on memory, and really arrived at a house where the happy words were not removed at the door.
Unmelted snow was still hanging on the roof of the thatched house, and a pot of water was gurgling on the stove at the head of the house, and the white smoke refused to rise.
Lin Huiru walked into one of the rooms without anyone in Jingdong. The room was close to the west and was very dark, so it was even more deserted. She found a half-worn cotton padded coat from the cabinet and put it on. When she was about to take out the wet wedding dress to wash, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside arbitrarily.
A woman in her mid-twenties came in, wearing a flowered jacket and holding an iron kettle filled with hot water in her hand, she didn't look like a country girl at all.
Lin Huiru immediately knew that this woman should be called sister-in-law, but after hesitating for a long time, she didn't call out.
But Liu Xiulan couldn't hold back, and pointed at Lin Huiru's nose and scolded: "You evil! Do you want to go to the town to chase your lover? You just passed the door yesterday, and you dare to run away today. I think you are the one who doesn't treat me like this!" Sister-in-law sees it, right?"
Lin Huiru twirled the white smoke vaguely and shook her head.
"I don't, I don't remember anything." Lin Huiru simply pretended to have amnesia, anyway, she did have a bump on the back of her head.
Liu Xiulan definitely didn't believe it, she sneered and went up to pick up the drenched wedding dress.
"You still say no, you are wearing a wedding dress to find your lover, you are trampling our Xu family's face under your feet! I also spent five taels of silver as a dowry gift for Zi Qiao, and came back with a white-eyed wolf!" Lin
Huiru I really admired it. She said that a simple matter was extremely serious, so Lin Huiru simply argued with her, "
Sister-in-law, I did fall into the water just now, and the aunt who rescued me can prove it. As for what you said... I don't remember anything about my lover."
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so what if she just doesn't admit that this body is going out to meet her lover? No matter how angry Liu Xiulan is, she can only hold it in. Anyway, she has evidence, which can prove that she has indeed fallen into the water. Amnesia is not a diagnosis. In this age, it is impossible to diagnose it. Why don't you say what she says?
Lin Huiru was about to applaud herself, and just about to continue talking, a girl who was wearing shoes embroidered with orchids and a jacket, but not at all bloated, walked in from outside.
About fourteen years old.
"Xiaoru, why are you so slow? Didn't you beg me to take you to the town?"
Chapter 2 is a ruthless character
Lin Huiru looked at the girl who just came in at the door, especially at the pair of thick-soled embroidered shoes on her feet. There was even a flash of a picture before falling into the water in my mind. When the original Lin Huiru screamed and rolled down, I seemed to catch a glimpse of these shoes from the corner of my eye.
Could it be? Lin Huiru stared at the woman in front of her like a policeman investigating the case. Seeing that she didn't feel nervous at all, and even looked at her with a faint smile, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Who are the people around here? It's okay to have a sister-in-law, life is already very sad, and there is another girl who looks gentle but is actually a ruthless character. Lin Huiru suddenly felt dizzy.
"Who are you? I don't know you." After thinking about it, she decided to carry out the amnesia to the end. Anyway, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in this matter.
Sure enough, after the girl heard this, a little light burst out of her eyes, and she was soon suppressed.
"What's wrong with you? I'm Ge Lan, aren't we good friends?" Ge Lan asked anxiously, with an expression on his face that I don't know why you are treating me like this.
Lin Huiru still saw a trace of relaxation from that expression.
"I fell into the river and bumped my head. I don't remember a lot of things. I just remember that I got married. Yesterday was my wedding day. Oh, and I didn't fall into the river by slipping. I remember someone pushed me. It looks like I'm wearing the same shoes as you." Lin Huiru's tone didn't fluctuate, but Ge Lan's audible heart was flustered.
How could she have expected that such a cold river would not freeze that bitch to death? She followed her mother back to her grandmother's house, and after she came back, brother Ziqiao got married! How long has she been thinking about this position? Why let a woman who doesn't understand paperwork and manners accompany Brother Ziqiao? Obviously she, Gu Lan, is the best match for him!
"Is...really? My shoes are worn by many people." Grant subconsciously tucked his feet into his skirt, with a stiff expression on his face.
Lin Huiru was determined. He didn't know what kind of grudges he had, but he wanted a fourteen-year-old girl to push a thirteen-year-old girl into the river, intending to freeze her to death.
Anyway, she will also have "amnesia" at this moment, and it would be better if she has less contact with her in the future.
However, if she wanted to harm herself, she, Lin Huiru, was not a vegetarian.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a blue book beside the bed. Lin Huiru picked it up and saw that it must belong to her husband.
"That's Brother Xu's book, don't leave it indiscriminately, he is used to putting it on the quilt, and he can read it before going to bed." Ge Lan said subconsciously, and even wanted to take the book in Lin Huiru's hand two steps forward.
"Sister Ge Lan seems to have forgotten something." Lin Huiru gripped the book tightly.
Ge Lan raised his head, looking at Lin Huiru with peach blossom eyes with upturned tails.
"That is, I am Brother Xu's wife! This family is my master, I can put it wherever I want, and I can throw it away as I like. I don't know what capacity Sister Ge Lan uses to teach me?" For Lin Huiru's sudden attack stunned the two people in the room.
Liu Xiulan kept silent, because she wanted to know who this bride was.
She knew that Ge Lan liked Xu Ziqiao, and even knew that Ge Lan wanted to marry Xu Ziqiao.
Ge Lan's expression was very ugly, as if he had been forced to drink a bowl of extremely bitter medicine, and a little starlight appeared in his pupils. No man could resist his pitiful posture.
But Lin Huiru is not a man, she is a woman who is familiar with all kinds of green tea and white lotus classics.
"You!"
"If it's okay, Sister Ge Lan, let's go, so as not to affect your reputation."
Lin Huiru actually threw the book on the pillow casually, in front of Ge Lan.
How could Glenn endure this? She could only hold her tears and hurried out of Xu's yard, crying and leaving.
"I think it would have been better to marry Ge Lan in the first place, and the house would not be disturbed." Seeing Ge Lan leave crying, Liu Xiulan hated Lin Huiru even more.
At least Gu Lan wouldn't confront her in the open, but after Lin Huiru fell into the river, it was like a different person, and she also complained about losing her memory.
"There is no medicine for regret in this world."
Lin Huiru didn't mind the sister-in-law's strange attitude toward her at all. They were both sisters-in-law, and she was also a younger brother and a bride, so she was always the weak side. It was rumored that other people would only say that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family didn't take care of her younger sister-in-law and would find trouble as soon as she got through the door.
Liu Xiulan stamped her feet angrily, and went back to her room.
Only then can Lin Huiru sit down and think about her current situation.
Just married yesterday, the new husband disappeared, the sister-in-law has a weird personality, and she has an inexplicable hostility towards her, and there is a good friend who understands her husband's habits and loves her husband.
Where is Xu Ziqiao sacred? In Lin Huiru's mind, only a slightly warm and angry, fair and angular face appeared in Lin Huiru's mind.
Men are a disaster! Lin Huiru packed the things in the house, and fell asleep on the bed covered with a big red quilt, with cross-neck mandarin ducks embroidered on the pillow.
In the dream, Lin Huiru came to a strange place, a boxy room with no furniture and no bed, only a huge screen emitting blue light.
Everything is like a dream, and it is not like a dream at all.
Lin Huiru slapped her arm and found it hurt.
This is not a dream?
Then how did she get in? Did she remember that she just closed her eyes and fell asleep? Does this place belong to ancient times or her original era? Although Lin Huiru had a lot of problems to be solved, she was still attracted by the furnishings in this room.
The four big characters "transaction process" were written on the screen. Lin Huiru looked closer and found a string of traditional characters. Fortunately, she had a good foundation in Chinese. Although she didn't understand everything, she still understood the meaning after stumbled.
Now Lin Huiru was really shocked, this turned out to be a trading space!
Put ancient things on a special plate, give several options after valuation, and choose a modern thing to exchange.
Without further ado, Lin Huiru opened her eyes, took the book that Xu Ziqiao left at home on the pillow, closed her eyes and came in again.
Sure enough, this is a space that you can enter with your eyes closed, and it seems that only she who pays full attention can enter!
She put the book on the silver plate, and the screen suddenly glowed, and then several options appeared.
Five coins, a handkerchief, and an iron hairpin.
How much is a book worth? Five cents? Anyway, it is also a book! Lin Huiru thought so, and consciously clicked on the option of five cents.
Five copper coins came out of an outlet, which happened to be the money that could be used in this era.
Lin Huiru pinched the only five cents she had on her body now, and suppressed the urge to sew the money into her clothes and hide it.
Chapter 3 Not a Good Husband
Speaking of which, the owner of her original body is also a big-hearted person, she just brought a few clothes with her when she got married, and her biological parents didn't give her any pocket money? Isn't it difficult for a bride who doesn't know the place of birth and doesn't have a coin in her pocket?
Not to mention the external jewelry, even the clothes are not new, the country lady loves to compare with each other, and everyone will know that she is a poor person in a few days.
Forget it, being poor is a kind of talent, no matter what era she is in, she is very poor! But! She has the space for exchanging items, she can use equivalent exchange to get some things that are not here, and then sell them!
Lin Huiru simply admired her flexible brain, she could think of such a complicated problem.
Liu Xiulan didn't make Lin Huiru's lunch, so she kneaded some noodles by herself, added some farm-made maltose when kneading the noodles, and steamed exactly two steamed buns, which made her belly round.
Sweep away the gloom and bad luck of the morning.
Liu Xiulan looked at her more and more unfriendly, Lin Huiru didn't care at all, she might as well spend this time on herself.
In the afternoon, when Lin Huiru was cleaning the house, a slender figure blocked the light from the door.
She looked back subconsciously, and saw a man standing at the door of the room, wearing an unwrinkled blue cloth gown, with black hair neatly tied on top of his head, and even the hem of his clothes neatly.
This is probably the newlywed husband, right? No matter how handsome he is, he is still a big pig who doesn't know how to consider and considerate his wife. Lin Huiru forced his gaze away from that handsome and calm face.
Xu Ziqiao glanced roughly around the room, but couldn't find the handwritten classic that he left on the quilt, and felt a little angry.
"Where's my book?" He asked. On the way home just now, he met Ge Lan who left crying. Although they were not close, no one could harden his attitude when facing a girl who was innocently scolded and cried by his wife.
Ge Lan told him that his book was put in the cabinet by that woman, and there were camphor balls with an unpleasant smell in the cabinet all year round, which would inevitably stain his books, which he didn't like the most.
This married lady is really unsatisfactory.
"I threw it away." Lin Huiru simply found an excuse. Anyway, she replaced it with five copper coins lying in her pocket.
Xu Ziqiao raised his eyes, with obvious disappointment in his eyes. Sure enough, his sister-in-law would not find any good woman for him.
Adding fragrance to the red sleeves is false, so at least you can understand it! But Xu Ziqiao was a little disappointed by the woman in front of her who had no restraint or prudence in her gestures.
"Where did you throw it? Find it and get it back!" He was so angry that he stayed up all night to copy it, and he was going to buy a few new sheets of paper in exchange for money.
"Find it? I probably won't get it back. I was the one who started the fire when the pot was burning, and now there are only a handful of ashes left. Do you want it?" Lin Huiru turned her head and said arrogantly.
This man is used to it, and he came to accuse her of making such a big mistake?
Gu Lan probably told him about this book, bitch!
"Slut!" Xu Ziqiao said coldly.
"Scumbag! Xu Ziqiao, you are a man who doesn't care about your wife but listens to other women on the second day of your wedding, and even comes to trouble me. What right do you have to criticize here?" Lin Huiru preemptively approached Xu Ziqiao step by step. .
There were already cracks on that calm face, Xu Ziqiao didn't expect to be accused by a woman.
"Making trouble for no reason! Gu Lan just told me the truth, but you scolded her when she came to see you. Is this what a newlywed should do?" Xu Ziqiao said.
"I scolded her? You didn't ask me why you preconceived and blamed me, Xu Ziqiao! Do you know the evidence for everything?" Lin Huiru's voice was a little louder, because she was angry.
"Then I said that she deliberately tricked me into going up the mountain and pushed me into the river, do you believe it? The river has just thawed and is very frozen. If I didn't have quick hands and feet, I would have died in the river long ago, and it just happened to fulfill you." Lin Hui If his face was warm and angry, he almost pointed at his nose and scolded Xu Ziqiao for being unreasonable.
Xu Ziqiao was stunned, he really didn't know about it.
"You...how are you sure it's her?" Seeing that her temples were still damp, she didn't look like she was lying.
"In the whole village, she is the only one who cares about appearance. It's cold in spring, and she is wearing a pair of embroidered shoes. If you walk around the village, can you find the second one? Xu Ziqiao, if you love Gu Lan, just say it, don't sing and act with her." I, Lin Huiru, am not a shameless person, and I don't care about your status as a talented woman!" "
I can't bear the risk of being married to you alone and almost being killed." Lin Huiru sat down On the bed, she turned her face away and ignored Xu Ziqiao.
Xu Ziqiao was also surprised. He had only been away for half a day, but so many things happened? If it was true what she said, wouldn't the things that Glenn told him specifically be trying to provoke the relationship between the two of them?
Xu Ziqiao couldn't deceive himself, and he felt a little regretful at this moment.
"Are you... caught cold?" He walked slowly to Lin Huiru and sat by the bed.
Lin Huiru could smell the scent of ink on Xu Ziqiao's body. She had never been so close to a man before, so she subconsciously stood up and walked three steps away from Xu Ziqiao.
Seeing this, Xu Ziqiao frowned slightly.
"It doesn't matter if you get cold or not. Anyway, the former Lin Huiru died in the river. From now on, I will ignore other people's opinions and live my own life." "It doesn't matter if you come back once a month or once a month
. I don't need you to support me, I can support myself. When you meet your confidante, I will make peace with you and never get entangled!"
Lin Huiru was not used to the days when she had a husband. , it would be better to live their own mutual non-interference, she can also develop her own small business well, step by step to reach the pinnacle of life in ancient times!
Thinking of this, Lin Huiru was a little excited. As a modern person, would she not be able to get along in this ancient times?
Xu Ziqiao frowned enough to kill a mosquito. He stood up, "I won't divorce, since I married you, I will take care of you." "You don't need to take care of me anymore, you have caused enough
trouble. And you What I'm looking for is a gentle, virtuous, reasonable and caring woman, I think Gu Lan is very good. You don't need to consider my opinion." Lin Huiru said very generously, and walked out of the room after speaking .
Completely ignoring Xu Ziqiao's dark face.
Staying in the same space with Xu Ziqiao always feels oppressive. For some reason, he is obviously an ordinary scholar! How do you feel like the class teacher in high school?
It must be an illusion!
Chapter 4 You Forgot One Thing
Xu Ziqiao held Lin Huiru's hand that was about to pass by. He planned to come back and talk to her, but in the end he got the result of "reconcile in the future".
"You forgot one thing, we have already worshiped, you are my wife." He didn't plan to divorce Lin Huiru, she just had a tricky mouth, a straight temper, and a little blunt speech, and there were no other shortcomings for the time being .
Yesterday he was so angry that he rushed out of the door irrationally and left her at home alone. It was indeed a mistake.
"If you got mad at me because I left you alone yesterday, how about I apologize?" He tried his best to lower his voice, not wanting to provoke her to lose her temper again.
"No, I almost forgot what happened yesterday. After I got up from the river, I realized that my brain was injured. Before, things were scattered. Now that I have saved my life, I should think more about myself in the future. A little."
Lin Huiru only wanted to embark on the road to a well-off life, and didn't want to be dragged along with him. He was still a stubborn bookworm who was stubborn and soft-hearted.
Breaking away from Xu Ziqiao's broad hands, Lin Huiru easily walked out of the yard with the basket on her shoulders.
There are a lot of wild vegetables in the spring field! The original ecological and pollution-free ancient wild vegetables must be delicious, and she can no longer restrain her prehistoric power.
Maybe wild vegetables can be exchanged for something!
Lin Huiru excitedly went to pick wild vegetables, Xu Ziqiao closed the door and was alone in the room, and saw her red wedding dress that had just been washed and was still stained with water.
He only wanted to get the honor and leave here, and find his real relatives.
He knew that he was not born in the Xu family since he was a child. His adoptive parents told him since he was a child that he loved books more than others since he was a child. He passed the provincial examination at the age of fifteen and became a Juren. Because his adoptive parents passed away, he kept his filial piety for three years, and the period will expire next year. I'm going to try it later.
Xu Ziqiao arranged for himself the next few years, but Lin Huiru was a surprise.
The eldest brother is like a father and the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. The elder sister-in-law married him forcefully. He heard that the girl was from a poor family and was not loved by her parents. She was a poor person just like him.
He accepted it with all his heart, and on the wedding night, the snarling lady made him jump.
But now the girl said the word "heli" lightly.
Lin Huiru came back with a large basket of wild vegetables on her back. The bracken was only pinched on the top part, and there were mothers-in-law all over the ground. It almost made Lin Huiru, a modern man who has been dominated by the price of expensive wild vegetables for a long time, red-eyed.
It was only when she went down the mountain that she realized that it was already dark in the village, and many people's chimneys were smoking.
The yard was quiet, but Liu Xiulan's family of three closed the door early in the house. As soon as Lin Huiru opened the door, Xu Ziqiao sat on the stool in the same posture as before she left, and there was no light in the room.
The pine lamp was also unlit.
"Are you back?" Xu Ziqiao's eyes were bloodshot.
Lin Huiru nodded. She thought the man would leave as soon as he came back, but she didn't expect him to still be there.
"Have you eaten yet?" She asked. After Liu Xiulan finished cooking, there was still a smell of sauerkraut stew in the courtyard. Xu Ziqiao must have finished eating too!
Just as Xu Ziqiao shook his head, the door was pushed open.
A burly man in a black jacket walked in, holding a furry child by his hand.
"Brother." Xu Ziqiao shouted.
Lin Huiru didn't speak, walked to Xu Ziqiao's side, and lowered her head.
This is Xu Qinghe, brother Xu Ziqiao, a good farmer, you can tell by his strong muscles.
"Are you back?" Xu Qinghe took his son Zhuangzhuang and sat directly on the bed that Lin Huiru had just made in the afternoon.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the way Xu Qinghe looked at Xu Ziqiao was scary, it didn't look like an older brother treating a younger brother.
"My family is going to buy a batch of seedlings in the spring. You know, I am planting the fields, and your sister-in-law is not doing anything to make a living. I heard that you copied some books in the town. Juren's writing should be very valuable. , otherwise, Ziqiao, you can pay me some money." Xu Qinghe said straight to the point without being tactful at all.
Lin Huiru's eyes widened. This is probably a brother who came to suck Xu Ziqiao's blood! Xu Ziqiao's clothes are poor, where can I get money for him? This Xu Qinghe's brain is afraid that snowflakes have entered in winter, and the spring has not yet melted.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Lin Huiru spoke first.
No reason, in this situation, Xu Ziqiao is the closest person to her, at least Xu Ziqiao is not malicious.
Liu Xiulan is a duplicitous person. She doesn't cook dinner for her younger brother and even instigates men to ask for money.
Xu Qingshan relied on being an elder brother to ask Juren's younger brother for money. Even if Xu Ziqiao copied books to earn money, he still had to pay for his own studies! He is not a photocopier, copying every day.
"Women, don't meddle in your own business, don't interrupt when men say things." Xu Qinghe scolded coldly, his voice was cold and low.
Like Bingzhuzi, Lin Huiru was very upset when he heard it.
"If you are a woman, you should do the housework. My family hasn't finished eating yet. I went out to pick wild vegetables and I didn't see my sister-in-law calling my son Joe to have a drink of hot soup. Besides, we just got married and didn't have much new clothes. Big brother wants money from our house, so why don't you let me go out for a walk in a piece of cloth?" Lin Huiru said with a smile, without leaving any sympathy in her words.
Xu Qinghe's face was livid, didn't the mother-in-law say that this is a good deal? How did this marry a firecracker?
"It's over, I'll let your sister-in-law cook." Xu Qinghe coughed in a foreign dress, planning to continue talking.
Lin Huiru didn't follow him. This man seemed honest, but his wicked looks made people uncomfortable. How many people don't know after eating? Open your eyes and talk nonsense.
"Brother, you are joking. Here, this is all the money we have, just two copper coins." She took out two copper coins from her pocket, and there was a jingling sound after putting them on the table.
"I almost died in the river this morning. I'm afraid all the money on my body has sunk to the bottom of the water. Yesterday, the tall Joe bought me new clothes for the money. I didn't know that I had suffered such a disaster. The elder brother didn't dislike it and sent me Take both money away! At worst, I will go pick wild vegetables tomorrow." Lin Huiru pretended to be reluctant to give up.
Xu Ziqiao's mood suddenly improved, and he didn't make a sound, just listening to her chatting with his elder brother, and quietly hid the half taels of money he got from copying books that he planned to hand over to his elder brother quietly in his sleeves.
She is really short of new clothes, so leave the money to her!
Xu Qinghe was about to smoke from the seven holes, and what this woman said was like pepper, which made him angry for a moment.
Chapter 5
"Little bitch! Shut up!" Zhuang Zhuang, who had been rolling around in shoes on Lin Huiru's wedding bed, suddenly spoke to Lin Huiru.
Xu Ziqiao's eyes turned cold, and Lin Huiru was surprised for a moment. Such a young child can swear, so she just learned from Liu Xiulan?
It seems that her sister-in-law called her a little bitch in front of the children a lot of times behind her back!
"Apologize to your aunt!" Xu Ziqiao stood up and stared at Zhuang Zhuang, who was only five years old.
After all, he was a child, and after saying something casually, he was treated so seriously, Zhuang Zhuang was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out, tears welled up in his eyes, and he hugged Xu Qinghe's calf and cried.
Liu Xiulan rushed in from outside, holding the child, waiting for Lin Huiru.
"What do you care about with a half-grown child? You will also be a mother in the future, with such a vicious heart!" Liu Xiulan felt distressed as she hugged the child.
This is the child she gave birth to with all her life, and the fortune tellers all praised him as a child with great promise in the future.
"Concern? Sister, did you hear Zhuang Zhuang calling me a little bitch? The five-year-old child utters swear words, and when it spreads, people think that our family teaches children to swear every day. We are aunts and uncles, help you educate Just a moment." Lin Huiru shrugged, with a calm expression on his face.
Just kidding, can you bear calling her a little bitch?
Embarrassment flashed across Liu Xiulan's face, she looked at her man's ashen face, snorted coldly, and walked out with the child.
Xu Qinghe is still in the room, and his purpose of coming today has not been achieved.
Many people in the town knew the name Xu Ziqiao, saying that he was a good student and would have a bright future, and whoever was his relative would be lucky.
He also said that one of his handwritten books is expensive and hard to find, and everyone in the town who has read books wants a copy of his handwritten book for collection, so as to motivate themselves to study hard.
Why can't you get any money when you get home? It is obvious that the wings are hard and look down on him.
"Five taels of silver, spring seeds, and strong Shuxiu. You are an uncle, you can't do anything. At least I will confess you." Xu Qingshan is a man who doesn't blush when he asks for money, let alone ask himself The biological brother asked for money.
Xu Ziqiao thought it was normal, when did Xu Qinghe not empty his belt when he came back? There are thousands of reasons, and there will be more than a dozen taels of silver to go in the past two years. He wants to go to an academy, buy paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and books. Even if he copied books until midnight, he couldn't keep up with Xu Qinghe's request for money.
"Brother, I really don't have any money this time. I will try again next year, so I have to save some." Xu Ziqiao frowned.
"It's still early for the exam. Zhuang Zhuang can't delay going to school, and you uncle can't help." Xu Qinghe's attitude is tough, and he doesn't know where his confidence comes from.
"Go to the school? Do you think Zhuang Zhuang can go to the school? Why do I think he has a few more years? After all, morality is also the focus of admission considerations. Besides, there are ready-made teachers here, where do you go to find them?" Sir?" Lin Huiru really couldn't stand it anymore, this Xu Ziqiao faced Xu Qinghe for some reason, his fighting power was always lacking.
Could it be that the biological brother is not good at talking?
"You! Shut up, you are a woman who cares about so many men's affairs, and you seem to have no tutor at first glance. Why did our family marry someone like you and come back?" Xu Qinghe scolded angrily, showing the attitude of being a family member Come to suppress Lin Huiru.
"Tutor? At least I won't let my children call me aunt and slut. Eldest brother tutors to teach Zhuang Zhuang by himself? Don't you know how much money you will get for a trial? Or is elder brother willing to cover the cost of Qiao's trial? Our husband and wife now only have these two copper coins, big brother, if you want it, don't forget it, I can still buy two biscuits to fill my stomach with this money in the town.
" Brother, you might as well go and listen to what people say."
Lin Huiru's words were like needles, and Xu Qingshan was in pain, his face turned pale, but he didn't say a word.
When Xu Ziqiao went back to the village, the village head asked him to prepare delicious food for him to eat, but he didn't want to, so he deliberately didn't call Xu Ziqiao to eat, so he let him starve.
The reason is very simple, because Xu Ziqiao is not his biological brother at all! He used his own parents' money to become a Juren, shouldn't he compensate himself? Compared with the silver painted by his parents when he was offered for him, this little money is nothing worth mentioning!
"I have paid back the money my parents spent on me in the past two years." Xu Ziqiao seemed to have guessed what Xu Qinghe was thinking.
"Can you pay it back?" Xu Qinghe glared at Xu Ziqiao angrily.
"Brother, it's Ziqiao's responsibility to pay back her in-laws. Why is it your turn? Then if her in-laws owe money, do you have to pay it back? Ziqiao is kind. It's gone." Lin Huiru raised his mouth lightly, and Xu Qinghe's face became even uglier.
Xu Qinghe rushed out the door, and there were low curses from outside the house from time to time.
Xu Ziqiao took out half a tael of silver from his cuff and handed it to Lin Huiru.
"I got this by copying the book, you can use it to cut the cloth!"
Lin Huiru acted like you were teasing me, saying that she had money before she had money, asshole, she almost lost two of her five copper coins! She quickly reached out and took back the two copper coins, carefully putting them into her pocket.
"No need, what I told you this afternoon was not a joke. I really don't intend to rely on you to live, I can support myself. You will try to ask for money, you should keep it yourself." "Also, the matter of He
Li It works, you think it through and tell me, anyway, you live your life and I live mine, you go to the town to study, I stay in the village, if you don't want to live with me, I can agree to leave at any time." Lin
Huiruyi The face is tired, why is this ancient man so stubborn in thinking, she even said not to be raised by him, this man can't understand human words?
Xu Ziqiao was startled, and it took him a while to recover, and he took back the broken silver that was still warm in his hand.
"It's up to you, I don't want to leave."
After finishing speaking, the tall and thin figure walked towards the door of the room.
Well, on the second day of their wedding, Lin Huiru managed to drive her husband away in anger.
It's really... very happy! The original owner of this body should also be happy, right? She has taught her ignorant husband a lesson for her.
Lin Huiru really just wanted to live alone, if Xu Ziqiao really didn't want to make up with her, just procrastinate, anyway, it's no different these days.
"Cuckoo", Lin Huiru's stomach suddenly growled.
She just remembered that she hasn't eaten dinner yet! Going back after fighting for so long, I was already hungry.
She hurried to the kitchen.
Chapter 6
For dinner, Lin Huiru blanched wild vegetables in clear water and fried them with some oil. Two simple stir-fried wild vegetables were ready.
There were still two steamed buns left in the cupboard, and Lin Huiru cooked them after sticking them to the edge of the iron pot. Dinner was settled easily, and Lin Huiru returned to the room with the remaining wild vegetables she had picked.
Not knowing what he could get by exchanging wild vegetables, Lin Huiru was puzzled and curious, and put her mother-in-law on the plate.
The screen flickered, and three options suddenly appeared: 1. One iron pan; 2. One spatula; 3. A pair of stainless steel chopsticks.
no? Can wild vegetables only be exchanged for tableware? Lin Huiru was a little helpless, but after some consideration, he took an iron pot. At least the ancient iron pot technology is not easy to learn, and this pot can be sold for dozens of copper plates.
It's just that she's walking a bit slowly on this road to wealth. Yesterday, she took Xu Ziqiao's book for only five copper coins, and today, she only exchanged a large basket of wild vegetables for an iron pot.
This exchange is a bit of a loss for her, but... it's good to have this, let's wait until she tries a few more times to find the most worthwhile exchange.
A blue light flashed, and an iron pot with a label appeared on the plate where the wild vegetables were placed. It was only more than 30 centimeters in diameter and 15 to 16 centimeters deep, similar to the iron pot she used before.
There is also an anti-stick seal layer on the bottom of the pot, which may be used as a gimmick, and it may be sold at a good price.
Lin Huiru hid the pot in the cabinet. She lived in this room alone, and no one came in. Xu Ziqiao was not a person who often went home to check, so it should be safe where the pot was.
She has to find an opportunity to go up the mountain a few more times, and find something that fits the ancient environment but is very precious in modern times. Maybe the value of the things exchanged in that way will be higher.
Early the next morning, Lin Huiru woke up a bit late, the sun was already slanting in the sky, the chill in the yard gradually faded, Zhuang Zhuang wore a newly made jacket and had fun in the yard.
Seeing Lin Huiru coming out, he made a face at her, mischievous.
Lin Huiru pursed his lips, he was indeed a monkey, and he would be much more honest after being beaten up.
Liu Xiulan stepped forward and pulled the child into the house, and gave her a glare before leaving.
Lin Huiru went into the kitchen to look for breakfast, but in the end, even the rice, noodles, oil and salt were gone, and only an iron pot and a shovel were left with her. She couldn't fry the iron pot with an empty shovel!
Lin Huiru went to find Liu Xiulan, but the other party just pointed to the field at the gate of the yard lightly.
"I turned up the soil in the vegetable garden all morning, so I can eat at noon." Let this little bitch fight against her last night, and Liu Xiulan will let her know how powerful she is.
She is still in charge of this family, just a little new sister-in-law, she still doesn't look inside.
"Really? Is my sister-in-law with me?" Lin Huiru was helpless. How could this person be as childish and ridiculous as a preschool child.
At home, let her have the right to exchange labor for food?
"Just yourself, if you don't work, you don't have food, and country people don't have money, and don't support idlers." Liu Xiulan spread her hands, and if she didn't give food, she wouldn't give food.
"Why? Ziqiao didn't give the family any money last month? Why does his newly married wife have to work in the fields to eat? Isn't sister-in-law afraid that I will tell everyone a joke? I haven't returned home for three days, and I was caught You bully me like this." Lin Huiru lowered her head and calmly swept away the non-existent dust on her clothes.
"Besides, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. This newly married sister-in-law is giving me power like this. She thinks you are such a vicious sister-in-law! Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. When Zhuang Zhuang reaches the age, Who dares to marry him! Do you think so?" Lin Huiru's simple words made the veins on Liu Xiulan's neck bulge out of anger.
Zhuang Zhuang was still making noise on the sidelines, constantly scolding Lin Huiru.
"Children who curse at people will have their tongues cut off in the middle of the night! Zhuang Zhuang, aren't you afraid?" Lin Huiru looked at Zhuang Zhuang who kept pointing at her nose and scolding with a serious face.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhuang is a paper tiger, he was so frightened that he cried on the spot.
Liu Xiulan coaxed the child anxiously, and stared at Lin Huiru.
"Sister-in-law, since you are going to send Zhuang Zhuang to school, you should also pay attention to your conduct. You can learn to be petty every day, but you can't get out of this dirty countryside." Lin Huiru didn't eat breakfast, and picked one when passing the vegetable garden
. The white and fat radishes were washed in a hurry by the river and then went up the mountain. Anyway, this radish tastes good, crunchy and sweet, with high nutritional value and no fat.
At the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of tender grasses sprouting up, but if you want to find those ferns picked yesterday, you have to go to a place with more sunshine and higher temperature.
After a whole morning's work, she only picked a little more wild vegetables than yesterday, and it was probably another iron pot to exchange for it.
When walking back, I happened to meet Ge Lan who was going to the market with his parents.
She was dressed in a light pink cotton long jacket, and she changed into a pair of thick-soled red peony embroidered shoes, and she was the most concerned girl in this village.
Ge Lan's family has a bakery stall in the town, because there are a few words printed on the pastry, and Ge Lan is also pretty, so as time goes by, she has a good reputation in the town.
She is a humble girl from a peasant family, but she is well-educated, gentle and demure. Although the family sells simple pastries, it still gives people a sense of ambition.
It has to be said that if this was in modern times, Gu Lan would definitely be a top-quality white lotus who can pick people's designs. In just a few years, he built his reputation so well, but is it to match Xu Ziqiao's image of a poor man who is famous all over the world?
A man from a poor family, a lady from a poor family, no matter how you look at these two people, they should be a couple. Even Lin Huiru is a little skeptical. Is this marriage an accident?
Otherwise, why did Liu Xiulan hastily decide on the original owner of her body just when Ge Lan was not in the village?
Lin Huiru had already planned a big drama in her heart. In the drama, Ge Lan and Xu Ziqiao made an affectionate promise, but in the end she stepped in.
What a trick!
As soon as he raised his head, Ge Lan was staring at her, making Lin Huiru feel a little apprehensive.
"Do you have anything to say to Brother Zhou?"
"Huh?" Who is Brother Zhou?
A Mr. Pian Pian, who is holding a fan and flaunting around all day, pops up in his mind, not only speaks well, but also writes well.
If there is no Xu Ziqiao, I am afraid that he is the most famous.
The family is well-off, and someone in the family has been recommended by a high-ranking official to become an official in the court. Although the relationship is relatively far away, in this poor place, every little thing can be used as capital. So Zhou used this distant relative who was an official as a token, and became a famous family in this town.
Chapter 7 You Are Blocking Me From Breathing Air
"Are you really ignoring Brother Zhou? He asked me about you last time." A look of surprise flashed in Ge Lan's eyes, and he continued.
"Oh, which Zhou family brother? I forgot, I'm so sorry." She is now a person with amnesia, Lin Huiru remembers.
Until she completes the goal of saving a tael of silver, she can't be distracted! The older brother of the Zhou family, the younger brother of the Su family, all got out of the way for her, blocking her way to make money, don't blame her for having so many ideas that he couldn't eat it.
Ge Lan's efforts were not thankful, his complexion sank, he got into the bullock cart and left.
Lin Huiru made a simple lunch, took the freshly baked iron pot No. 2, and the iron pot No. 1 in the cabinet, spent a penny on a donkey cart, and went to the town.
The donkey hummed and walked slowly, and the aunt who drove the donkey occasionally passed a radish to feed the donkey, humming a little song along the way to the town.
The market was not far away, Lin Huiru found a place and went there, took her two big iron pots, found a place to sit cross-legged, and yelled like the people next to her.
"The iron pot made by myself is easy to use and non-stick."
Anyway, no one doubts that iron pots can still be made by machines in this era, so Lin Huiru simply increased his voice to attract more people.
She was still knocking on the iron pot with a chopstick, and after a while, several women with bamboo baskets came to ask.
"Your iron pot is so easy to use? My pot burns as soon as it burns." It seemed that the person who spoke was a girl who had just married, otherwise she wouldn't have blush so easily.
To put it simply, the pot is not good, but to put it more deeply, it means that I am not good at cooking, and even a dish can be burnt.
Lin Huiru smiled mysteriously, "It's guaranteed not to stick or stick to the pot, and this pot is light, so it's suitable for newly married people like us." One sentence solved the embarrassment of the girl who asked the question, and she put on clothes and clothes
. New shoes also require adaptation. For a girl to marry, the pots and pans are all new, and even the stove is different. Doesn't it take some time to get used to it?
"Let me see." The girl picked up the pot, surprised at the weight of the pot, then lifted the handle of the pot with one hand and shook it twice.
"It's so light, but it looks very strong." The girl praised.
"That's right, this pot was made with care, and it took thousands of hammers to hang it down. I only got two more pots, that's all, and I don't have any more." Lin Huiru said.
The girl was moved and asked the price.
"How about thirty renminbi? Is the price fair? The dead pot in the blacksmith shop sells for twenty-five, and the extra five renminbi will be used as my traveling expenses." Lin Huiru smiled innocently, People around her praised her for being able to do business.
"Look at this little lady with a sweet mouth, she sold a pot in a while."
"Is this pot really that good? Let me see."
Many people squatted down to look at the pot, and a few elderly grandpas also came to join in the fun .
The second pot was also sold quickly, with sixty copper coins in the account, Lin Huiru closed the stall and left.
She went shopping in the ancient market. Along the street, there were many sellers of steamed buns, and many sellers of noodles and wontons. Tailor shops, restaurants, and medical clinics were all standing on both sides of the street. .
Suddenly, Lin Huiru saw a booth selling jewelry from the corner of her eye. On it were all kinds of hairpins, bracelets and earrings, most of which were gold or silver. It doesn't look like it's made of real gold and silver, but it looks like colors and gold and silver portraits made of other materials or pigments.
This is...an ancient handicraft, right? Lin Huiru clung to the booth and refused to leave.
The woodcut peach hairpin is simple and elegant, white and environmentally friendly. Lin Huiru took one in her hand.
The golden hairpin is inlaid with green gem-like stones, which sparkle in the sun, and the headband is also quite eye-catching.
There are also earrings in the shape of red pomegranates, and earrings with pearls strung by butterflies.
They were all exquisitely crafted jewelry, and Lin Huiru suddenly had a new idea.
Maybe these things that can be exchanged for more value are not necessarily it! Maybe there is some kind of long-lost craftsmanship in it, which can help her exchange a lot of things?
"How do you sell this mahogany hairpin?" Lin Huiru asked.
The seller was an elderly man who looked very serious, but spoke with a kind voice.
"This five-cent coin doesn't have any other decorations. It's too plain for the lady to wear. Let's look at other things." The old man said sincerely.
Indeed, her current face can no longer withstand low-key jewelry decorations, and her facial features are still a sign, but her figure is not good.
The long-term malnutrition caused the sallow complexion. Although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, his face was close to eighteen or nineteen. I don't have a few taels of fat all over my body, otherwise I won't sink as soon as I fall into the river, and if I have a little fat, I will float up a little bit.
"I don't buy it for myself, my sister likes this simple one." Lin Huiru prevaricated the old man with a random reason, held the mahogany hairpin in her hand, and made up her mind to take it home.
"Where is this green willow-leaf hairpin?" Lin Huiru picked up a green willow-leaf hairpin and asked the old man.
"This ten-wen, the craftsmanship is a little more troublesome, and the price is a little higher." The old man patiently explained to her.
The willow-leaf hairpins are all carved with a carving knife bit by bit. Although the wood is as cheap as the mahogany hairpins, it took more time to make it, and of course the price is a little higher.
In the end, Lin Huiru added a pair of red pomegranate earrings, which cost her a total of 25 copper coins, and there were about 40 copper coins left in her whole body.
After thanking the old man, Lin Huiru went to a noodle shop on the side of the street and ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles, which cost him two pennies.
The main reason is that she is really hungry, so she needs to find something to cushion the bar.
Yangchun noodles are very light, but with a lot of green onion added to enhance the fragrance, so it will not appear too bland and tasteless.
While eating, the next table chatted about next year's exam.
"From here to Xiangzhou, the minimum fare is ten taels, plus the little brother who manages the release, and the expenses of staying and eating at the hotel, there is no such thing as twenty taels of silver, and the return travel fee is thirty taels of silver!" A person cried mournfully. Said.
"Don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, take your time." A familiar voice sounded.
Lin Huiru even forgot to suck the noodles, so she quickly lowered her head and hid herself.
"That guy Zhou Jin is so deceptive that he spread rumors about you behind your back. He said you married an ugly monster and went back, right? Brother Ziqiao?" the friend asked Xu Ziqiao.
Lin Huiru's face is so black, so ugly? Who is spreading rumors about her again?
"I heard that she committed suicide by jumping into the river to escape from you. Is this true?"
Ma Dan, it was obviously pushed in by Ge Lan's white lotus, how could the original owner commit suicide by jumping into the river?
Chapter 8
Lin Huiru's bowl of noodles had bottomed out, and the scholar at the next table who was talking eloquently hadn't stopped talking about how pitiful Xu Ziqiao was, who had profound talents and learning, and why he married a wife who didn't understand books and was ignorant and vulgar.
She couldn't bear it anymore, she slapped the table next door, her face was so angry.
"Hmph! Hupenggouyou! A nest of snakes and rats! Raccoons of a feather!" He used three idioms in succession to show that he was not illiterate, but a master of Chinese major was scolded as worthless after reading this.
The eloquent man was stunned, seeing the woman who suddenly appeared silent, as if he was a little confused by Lin Huiru's sudden attack.
Xu Ziqiao reacted quickly, stood up and paid the bill.
"He doesn't understand, don't worry about it like him." Xu Ziqiao patted Li Ji on the shoulder, motioning for him to apologize.
"This is your sister-in-law, please apologize to your sister-in-law."
Li Ji acted as if he had been struck by lightning, and everyone heard the bad things about the woman behind his back. He threw his face at his grandma's house.
Li Ji blushed to the neck, and bowed to Lin Huiru in a low voice.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame me, I'm ignorant."
Lin Huiru snorted, turned around and left without saying forgiveness or not.
Xu Ziqiao left Li Ji behind and hurried to catch up.
"Don't be angry, he has already apologized to you."
"Whether to apologize is a matter of his morality, and whether to accept it is a matter of my mood. Doesn't Xu Juren understand such a simple question?" Lin Huiru snorted coldly and threw it away sleeves, dropped Xu Ziqiao and went into the tailor shop.
"Don't follow me, go do your own thing." She doesn't like people following her all the time, does she have to be accompanied when she buys clothes?
Xu Ziqiao didn't get annoyed when she touched her nose, she just stood there with her hands down. Li Ji caught up from behind, and touched his nose, too embarrassed.
"Brother Xu, I really didn't do it on purpose. Who would have thought that your lady is a book-savvy woman, and she's worse than a pig or a dog scolded by me." Li Ji was also helpless. As a top student of Baihe Academy, the next Xu Ziqiao in the eyes of the master, today It fell into the hands of a woman.
Sure enough, it's not that the family doesn't enter the house, and Brother Xu's wife is not simple. Li Ji regarded Lin Huiru as a talent like Xu Ziqiao in his heart.
"Just pay attention next time." Xu Ziqiao shook his head helplessly. As a lady, he could easily get angry, but he couldn't argue with her.
The fallacies she said were not fallacies, but they were different from what he learned.
Lin Huiru spent money to buy cloth with a low-key color, and pulled the cotton wool, planning to make a warm cotton coat. She has worn this coat for two years, and the cotton wool has been moved, and in some places there is only one layer Thin cloth, the wind blows and freezes to death.
After buying the cloth and cotton batting, I spent twenty-five Wen. As soon as he left the tailor's shop, he saw two people in uniform gowns standing in a daze outside the shop, their eyes lit up when they saw her coming.
Just when she was about to speak, Lin Huiru was stopped by a fan.
There was still a smell of incense on the fan, which made her take three steps back and felt that the air was much fresher.
"Sister Xiaoru, did you come to see me today?" Although Zhou Jin smiled softly, Lin Huiru still sensed a hint of contempt from this smile.
"You think too much, I'm just pulling the cloth." Lin Huiru walked out of the tailor's shop calmly and came to Xu Ziqiao's side.
The position still needs to be presented, and the position of a married person is different from that of an unmarried person.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Huiru came to her side, Xu Ziqiao's stern face softened instantly.
I admired Li Ji, my sister-in-law is really good, in the past, Brother Xu had a stern face, how many younger generations would be punished for copying books! Not even he was spared.
"Brother Xu, why are you interested in going shopping with women?" Zhou Jin sarcastically asked.
He couldn't understand Xu Ziqiao's way of responding to everyone in the academy the most. He was obviously the proud son of heaven and had the best enlightenment teacher. The head of the academy was his only teacher, but he was always inferior to Xu Ziqiao.
"Clumsy Jing doesn't know the way, so I'll accompany her." Xu Ziqiao said lightly.
Holding Lin Huiru's hand hanging by his side, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Brother Xu! Are you here too?" Ge Lan ran out from that corner without knowing it.
"Huh? Didn't Sister Xiaoru say that I don't want me to bring a message to Zhou's brother? So you want to come to him by yourself?" Ge Lan's tone was flat, seemingly unintentional, but in fact he put Lin Huiru on the fire.
What's more, there are many colleagues from Xu Ziqiao's academy here. If you don't answer this well, it will affect Xu Ziqiao as well.
"Shut up, you, pretending to be aloof all day long. It's not that you want to see your Zhou family brother, begging me to accompany you? I'm a married woman, so I can't accompany you. Now you see Zhou family brother Why bother to drag me into the water, I really have something to do so I won't accompany you."
Lin Huiru said that Gu Lan's face was pale.
"I am a diligent woman, and I only have my husband in my heart, but you, jumping around in front of my husband every day, and mentioning the Zhou family brother again and again, are you annoying? Do you want me to find a man to relieve your loneliness? " Lin Huiru's words were extremely vulgar, isn't Gu Lan trying to be lofty? She just dragged her off the altar.
"You! Shrew! Brother Xu, are you just letting her go like this?" Ge Lan's eyes were red with anger, and his nails were sunken into the flesh.
"Sure enough, there is a huge difference between those who have read and those who haven't. Xiaoru, you should also learn from Ge Lan. Why did you become so vulgar after you got married?" Zhou Jin smiled and waved his fan.
The people standing behind Zhou Jin laughed, as if marrying Xu Ziqiao made Lin Huiru more aggressive.
"Hmph, thanks to the fact that you are still a scholar, don't you know the truth of talking nonsense when you see people?"
Lin Huiru smiled brilliantly, but the words he said made people angry.
"My husband speaks eloquently, of course I have a good talk with him, but when I meet you troublemakers and those who covet my husband, I am gentle to you, so am I a fool?
" Is it?" Lin Huiru asked Xu Ziqiao over his head.
Xu Ziqiao didn't know why, but thought such a lady was very cute.
"Of course not."
"What about you?" She asked Li Ji again.
"It's enough for the beast to do the beast's work well, and they don't understand anything." Li Ji shrugged and echoed.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Huiru smiled brightly, looking at Zhou Jin and Ge Lan as if he was looking at a pile of poop.
Chapter 9
When had Zhou Jin been humiliated like this before, even if it was a woman, he didn't care.
"Stinky bitch, shut your mouth!" Zhou Jin glared at Lin Huiru viciously, looking like he was going to eat someone.
Xu Ziqiao kept his wife firmly behind her, blocking Zhou Jin, who might go crazy at any time.
"Young Master Zhou, are you sure you want to lose your temper with me here? The street is so bad, you are still a scholar, look at how elegant my husband is." "If Ge Lan kept mentioning you
in front of me, how could I Will you hate you so much? She said you pestered me like a mangy dog. I was pushed into the water a few days ago, and my memory is a bit messed up, so I only remember a few fragments." Lin Huiru can't offend the rich
son , just don't do it, and just keep pushing the blame to Glenn. Anyway, she is very powerful in fighting, so this matter can definitely be resolved.
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Jin's cannibalistic eyes turned to Ge Lan, who had been confused for a long time.
Gu Lan didn't expect that Lin Huiru's mind had become so strange since she was pushed into the river. He was obviously a meek person who believed in what he said, and suddenly became confusing.
"You remember wrongly, I didn't say that." Grant immediately defended himself.
"Oh, maybe it's because my memory is wrong, but I remember that the person who pushed me into the river was clearly wearing a pair of..."
Gelen's eyes widened suddenly, did she actually see it?
"I don't remember what I'm wearing, but it's a woman anyway. If I find her in the future, I'll throw her into the cesspit and let her experience the feeling of drowning." Lin Huiru waved her hand and looked at Ge Lan's face was getting darker and darker, and she was in a good mood.
Zhou Jin was tricked by Ge Lan to have a private meeting with Lin Huiru but failed, and was even ridiculed by the husband and wife together. He gritted his teeth in anger, seeing Ge Lan getting more and more disliked, and then simply flung his sleeves and left up.
After he left, those followers naturally dispersed, leaving Gu Lan standing opposite Lin Huiru and his wife.
Framed Lin Huiru's private meeting with men failed, so she simply changed her method and pretended to be pitiful.
Most men love those weak and beautiful women. Gu Lan claims to have seen many men who are infatuated with her. Who doesn't like her weak and sensible appearance?
Immediately, as soon as I rubbed my eyes, tears fell down.
Li Ji was so stunned that he even forgot to blink.
Is this woman really made of water? As soon as the eyes blinked, the tears flowed down as if they didn't want money. If my sister-in-law could do the same thing, wouldn't brother Xu be tightly bound?
"Brother Xu, it was Zhou Jin who forced me. He used our pastry stand to force me, saying that if he didn't bring Xiao Ru's sister to see him, he would find someone to smash our stall. I can't help it! Xiao Ru Sister, please forgive me this time!" Ge Lan cried sadly, but the people around her began to persuade Xu Ziqiao.
"I've been to their pastry shop, and it's delicious! Zhou Jin is really cruel to use the shop as a bargaining chip." "
Tsk tsk tsk, she's right if she is married Is it? I think she is dishonest, and it would be troublesome to marry this kind of daughter-in-law." "Don't
mention it, Xu Juren is a rare scholar in the town, and he is very talented! Marrying him is a blessing."
...
All kinds of discussions came and went, and even Xu Ziqiao frowned.
"Really? What if Zhou Jin takes your shop and asks you to kill someone? Will you kill him? How old can you be threatened by someone? Have you eaten all your food and got it in your eyes? What else can you do but cry?" Lin Huiru Turn on the cursing mode, scolding Gu Lan as dust.
Xu Ziqiao was helpless, but couldn't intervene, so he could only stand aside to comfort the angry lady.
He has also seen intrigues, and he doesn't pay much attention to Glenn's tricks.
He originally wanted to help the lady out of the siege, but the lady's fighting power was too strong, so he could only stay aside.
Ge Lan lowered her head and trembled all over. She always regarded herself as a lady, how could she respond to Lin Huiru's vulgar words?
Of course the only way to answer was to cry, and Grenn cried even harder, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"And you, you don't have back pain when you stand and talk. Who cares what I marry? You feel pitiful for Ge Lan, marry her and go home and confess! Wouldn't it be better to see her cry every day?" Lin Huiru put her arms around her hips
, With a fierce look, everyone was silent for a while, Lin Huiru rolled his eyes at them, walked through the crowd and set foot on the way home.
Xu Ziqiao said goodbye to Li Ji, and followed Lin Huiru closely.
Li Ji walked past Ge Lan, thinking that he still had to save this silly girl.
"Brother Xu is smart, next time you will be smarter, he has seen this a few years ago."
Originally, it was a kind reminder, but Li Ji is a straightforward person. Grenn's face turned red, as if someone had slapped him.
He knew the whole thing? Then why are you watching yourself acting? Ge Lan's heart was pierced immediately, and he hated Lin Huiru even more. If it wasn't for her, he would be the one that brother Xu hugged and protected with all his heart. Why bother to put on a show here to attract his attention?
It's all because of Lin Huiru! How could she not drown!
Lin Huiru hurriedly contacted an ox cart with the package containing cotton and cloth, planning to go back.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ziqiao, who was familiar with the road, also handed the driver a copper coin, and sat quietly beside her, staring at her with deep eyes.
"What are you looking at? What's interesting?" Lin Huiru waved her hand and turned her head away.
"I don't know when the lady's combat power became so strong." Xu Ziqiao joked.
He finally figured out the character of this lady, if she is soft but not hard, she can fight you if you fight her hard, but she can't help you if you talk nicely to her.
"What's bothering you, just take care of yourself." Lin Huiru couldn't put on a cold face when facing a smiling face, so she had to ignore the smiling face.
This man is getting more and more treacherous!
"My lady, I'm joking, I'm your husband-in-law, how can I ignore you?" Xu Ziqiao was still unwilling to give in on this issue.
Lin Huiru was heartbroken and simply changed the subject.
"Why are you coming back with me? Are you not going to the academy? Mr. Be careful, you dislike you for not studying and don't want you anymore." Lin Huiru said.
"Have you forgotten? When I return home tomorrow, I will go back with you to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Xu Ziqiao replied.
Lin Huiru was struck by lightning immediately, and returned home? You still have to pretend to be very affectionate with Xu Ziqiao, don't you? It's just too embarrassing for her!
Chapter 10
As the sun went down in the evening, many peasants carrying hoes came back from the fields at the head and tail of the village. They saw two people on the cattle-driving cart. One was Xu's new daughter-in-law, who was picked up from the river by the villagers last time, and the other was Xu Juren. .
"Look, the relationship between the couple is like honey." An aunt joked.
Lin Huiru froze, how could it be seen that he was in a good relationship? She clearly sat far away from Xu Ziqiao, okay?
Xu Ziqiao agreed with a few words lightly, and the two were sent to the gate of the yard by the bullock cart all the way, and the aunt who drove the cow took her own cow home.
Having a cow in this village is equivalent to having a cash cow. It is taken out to the town to pick up people along the way. Each person gets a copper coin. After running four or five times a day, he can earn more than 20 copper coins. Going to the town to sell also saves travel expenses.
Lin Huiru thought it was good. When she had money, she could buy a horse and watch her gallop on the country road.
Liu Xiulan happened to be busy in the kitchen, and when she saw Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru coming back together, her complexion turned pale.
Ignoring the couple, they went into the house to eat with two dishes and three bowls. Through the window paper, you can still see the appearance of the first three people in the room gathering together to finish their meal.
Lin might as well not want to starve to death, so he can only cook by himself, and he also brings along a scholar who can't cook but can only eat.
She cut up some pickled vegetables in the corner of the kitchen, added some peppers to stir-fry, and then stewed a white radish and two vegetables, and the two of them ate them all.
"Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow." Xu Ziqiao covered the quilt and said to Lin Huiru who was huddled in the corner.
Since they got married and haven't shared the same room, his wife is probably still angry with him, angry that he left her alone in the bridal chamber.
Lin Huiru ignored him, because she had already brought the jewelry she bought in the town today into the exchangeable space.
A light flashed on the plate, and finally there was an option among the options that made Lin Huiru jump up in surprise.
hot sauce! ! Hot pot base! !
These two alone brought her a huge surprise, and the random ingredients will only become more delicious with the blessing of these two sauces.
Lin Huiru suddenly thought of a way to make money... Chuan Chuan Xiang! All she needs is bamboo sticks and a pot, and she can set up a modern stall with an ancient style, a copper plate with two strings of ingredients, and a meat dish, which is sure to make a lot of money.
In her sleep, Lin Huiru was pushing a wooden cart through the streets and alleys. Many people surrounded her cart so that she couldn't even move a step.
She had no choice but to comfort the customer, "Everyone has a share, don't grab it!"
Don't squeeze her wooden cart!
"What are you grabbing?" Suddenly such a sentence came to my ear, and Lin Huiru woke up from her sweet dream immediately.
"I didn't grab anything, I was dreaming!" After muttering, Lin Huiru shrank into the bed with a blushing face.
She had stepped on three bags of hot pot base ingredients and two large bottles of chili sauce. As soon as Xu Ziqiao went out, she hid them in the corner of the cabinet and covered them with a newly torn cloth from yesterday.
After getting some food for breakfast, the couple took a simple gift and walked along the path to another village.
The gift was bought by Xu Ziqiao in the town yesterday, a catty of rice wine, half a tael of oil, and half a catty of sweet-scented osmanthus sugar. These are more than enough as gifts for returning home.
Lin Huiru's natal home was nearly an hour's walk away from Xu's home, and the sun was almost overhead when they walked halfway. It happened that there was a mule cart also going to Linjiacun. The two paid the money, sat on the wooden cart pulled by the mule, and ate the cornmeal cakes baked in the morning.
Lin Huiru chopped up the dried chilies that were drying under the eaves and added garlic paste to the hot sauce she got last night, and put it in a small ancient bottle, which just concealed the source of the hot sauce.
Xu Ziqiao was salivated by the hot sauce, but he still couldn't help dipping the pancakes into the hot sauce in Lin Huiru's hand.
I don't know what she was cooking alone in the kitchen in the morning. Although the hot sauce she made was a bit spicy, it still had a little more flavor than ordinary hot sauce.
The freshness and sweetness come first, followed by the spiciness, and the whole mouth seems to be dancing, with rich taste.
"Did you make this hot sauce this morning?" Xu Ziqiao asked.
Lin Huiru looked at the corners of his reddened mouth, feeling helpless and wanting to laugh.
"Yeah, I have my own secret hot sauce." How could this spicy sauce be so hot that a true Sichuan girl like her?
It seems that ancient people were not very good at eating spicy food, so she should reduce the addition of dried chilies, so as not to make people's stomach hurt and come to trouble her.
Just after noon, a mule cart came to the entrance of Linjiacun. Many people recognized the mule puller, but they were curious about the man and woman sitting on the wooden cart behind the mule.
There was a big locust tree at the entrance of the village. Under the locust tree, two bears played together. When they heard the sound of the car, they immediately raised their heads, looking for something.
When they finally saw Lin Huiru's thin face, they screamed and shouted, "The tigress is back to the village! Come on!" The two children laughed, and the other
children followed suit and surrounded the village. Going around in a mule cart.
Talking around in his mouth are all words calling her a tigress and calling her a bad woman.
A figure appeared in Lin Huiru's mind, and then he followed the children indifferently.
Isn't Lin Yaoyao's purpose just to let her scold these children, so that the news of her cursing at the village entrance on the first day back will spread? To be honest, compared with Gu Lan, this Lin Yaoyao's head is much simpler and rude.
This is also easier to deal with, isn't it?
Xu Ziqiao took out loose candies from his pocket and distributed them to the children one by one.
"Go somewhere else to play after eating, and be careful not to fall." Xu Ziqiao's voice was neither too loud nor too emotional.
However, that serious face, which resembled that of the academy teacher, made many children dare not look at him in the eyes.
"Don't swear next time, you know?" he said again.
The picture of Xu Ziqiao holding the pointer and following those naughty children behind him came to Lin Huiru's mind, and he burst out laughing.
The child who was frightened by Xu Ziqiao was frightened by Lin Huiru again.
"He is the most serious teacher. If you don't study hard and still play in the mud here, when you grow up and meet him, your palms will suffer." Lin Huiru threatened the leather children.
Sure enough, when they heard that it was a teacher, some children who had already started studying all ran away like ghosts. How could I remember scolding Lin Huiru around the entrance of the village?
It's just three fructoses, ten fructoses and they don't want to be slapped by the teacher! Maybe the teachers know each other well, so I will be beaten when I go to school tomorrow?
A child quietly turned his head, looked at Lin Huiru and said.
"It was your cousin Lin Yaoyao who asked me to make up a jingle to scold you with three fructoses, please don't tell my husband."
After speaking, the child hid his hands and ran away.
