In March, the first ten days of the Spring Festival are approaching. As the (temporary) parental official, Cheng Zhi needs to preside over the slaughtering ceremony for the people—that is, to lead the people to the river to splash water to wash and bathe, to remove the bad luck and haze of the previous year.

As for the female family members of high-level families, although they won't really go naked to engage in celestial sports, they will wear much thinner clothes, and they will have to wrap up a curtain to block them. Lou Yao murmured and asked Shaoshang if he could pour himself a ladle of water that day as a wish.

Shao Shang smiled and said, "Okay. But that day I will wear a sock with bare shoulders. What are you wearing?" The two collarbones of this body are as slender as butterfly wings, so they are super pretty.

Young Master Lou immediately blushed like soy sauce roasting pork, and he didn't know what to do, so he covered his nose and ran away.

Unfortunately, the day before the Shangsi Festival, Father Cheng and Director Xiao fell from the sky. Strictly speaking, the couple came to Huaxian half a day apart. Now Shaoshang, let alone revealing his collarbone, he has to regulate his words and actions.

Cheng Shi was very happy when he agreed to the marriage, but after the event, he felt inexplicable pantothenic acid in his tongue. After the recruitment and security work was all completed, when he led the army back to the capital, he passed through Dongjun, and he led a team of guards to Huaxian to see his daughter and examine his future husband-in-law.

And Mrs. Xiao was also caught off guard by this marriage.

First, the second wife of the Lou family asked someone to talk about her relationship with a young businessman. Before she could calm her consternation, she received a letter from Qingzhou asking for marriage from Lou Yao's father (actually, this letter was originally sent to Cheng Shi, when she wrote the letter) Lou Yao's father didn't know that his in-laws would be nearby in the future). Just as Mrs. Xiao seriously considered the possibility of marrying the Lou family, she received an urgent letter from her husband, saying that he had agreed to the marriage, and exchanged tokens with Lord Lou Er.

Mrs. Xiao was annoyed for a while, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the little Jiujiu in her husband's heart. She simply set off to Huaxian to ask Cheng Zhi and his wife in person, and took her daughter back to the capital by the way.

"As long as you encounter a curling thing, your brothers will take me as a thief to guard against." Mrs. Xiao laughed at herself.

Sang said with a smile: "What I said at the beginning, don't be too harsh on the young businessman, beware of the backlash." After laughing, she asked how the family was doing?

Mrs. Xiao said: "Hu Li accompanied Jun and aunt to pluck all the flowers and plants in the backyard, and now they are discussing what grains to sow! I think the spirit is better than before, and she is still learning to take care of household affairs, and her temperament is mature. A lot of people, I dare to turn a cold face on people."

"What do you think of Shaoshang now?" Mrs. Sang smiled and

said, Mrs. Xiao pondered, closed her eyes and sighed: "You raised her well, ... better than me. After

being separated for a few months, my daughter is not only well-proportioned in stature, with bright teeth and bright eyes, but the anger that was condensed between her brows has disappeared, and her eyes are no longer gloomy and withdrawn, but show kindness and mischief. . She has experienced a lot, but now the girl's bearing is open-minded and natural, and there is a youthful innocence in her elegant manner, which makes people happy.

Mrs. Sang looked around and said condescendingly: "Look, I still drew the blueprints for the reconstruction here!"

Following Mrs. Sang's gaze, Mrs. Xiao looked around, and she didn't know how to get this inner room. Warm but not suffocating, and bright and breathable.

"Not long ago, Shao Shang also dug a stove for bathing for me, and even connected to the big wooden bucket she found a new hoop, it can be soaked in it on any cold day. From brick laying to water diversion, it was her idea. Simple and economical, those craftsmen are not dissatisfied."

Mrs. Xiao sighed lightly.

Even if her deceased biological mother gave birth to seven sons and one daughter, her waist was like a broken willow, her face was weak and clear, and no amount of soldiers and horses outside could disturb her to enjoy wealth and wealth. Now there are a lot of young businessmen, and the appearance is almost the same as that of the biological mother, but it is more and more different.

The county government house was not big, and Cheng Shi's vigorous scolding and the girl's annoyed voice could be heard from the outside, interspersed with Cheng Zhi's schadenfreude laughter. When the two sisters heard it, they both felt amused.

Mrs. Xiao said worriedly: "Ayao is also the youngest child raised by the Lou family, so your elder brothers should not be too serious!"

Sang Shi smiled: "Although Ayao is young, he can still have bows and swords, not embroidery shelves. , don't worry! Besides, there is a young businessman here! My brother is just frightening... By the way, what do you think of this marriage?"

Mrs. Xiao said helplessly: "The tokens have been exchanged, so what else can I do!"

Sang shi heard the unhappiness in her tone, and said softly: "To be honest, if the elder brother did not agree to this marriage, it would be left to the wife to take care of it. What will you do?"

Mrs. Xiao was silent for a moment, then simply said: "I will not hide it from you. That day the Lou family asked someone to ask about the marriage, I really never dreamed of it. Alas, Shao Shang is unruly and has a reputation in the capital. It's not so good, even if Ayao likes it again, I think Mrs. Lou Er will hesitate, who knows..." She shook her head, "So soon!"

Sang Shi smiled: "Now that He Zhaojun is married to Bingzhou, Ayao's mother has no light on the front, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that He Zhaojun's baby will be born, can they be unhappy!" Mrs. Xiao

nodded, and then hesitantly said: "You said, the young merchant married It's so good, if the husband's family in the future is not the highest in the Lou family, will the Ge family complain...?"

"You're here again!" Mrs Sang put down the bowl and said, "I'll tell you sooner. As you said, eagles and sparrows can't be raised the same way! You can't cover up the appearance and nature of curling up!"

She thought to herself, Mrs. Xiao didn't know about Ling Budo, otherwise it would be even more troublesome, "Che He has her own advantages, and will have a happy marriage in the future. You also said at the beginning that whether the family is high or not has nothing to do with living a good life! Why, you can marry low and live in peace, but you can't.

Mrs. Xiao was not angry. After sighing, she said slowly: "Actually, I am thinking about it now. Many things are not what I want to do. Mr. Lou said in the letter that he was hesitant at first . , so I sent someone to inquire. Coincidentally, I saw your group of injured, sick, staggered driving to Huaxian County. On the way, there were many people and horses, and there were many people who couldn't bear it. She was in charge of the huge motorcade, a little girl. "..."

Sang remembered that her leg was injured at that time, her husband was crying and regretful, and he was refusing to go out in the car.

She blushed involuntarily.

"Master Lou said, no matter what the rumors in the capital are, the people under his command, what he sees and hears, are all about the benefits of being less businessman - responsible, courageous, filial to his aunt, and considerate to the bereaved of the old Cheng family, He is smart and sophisticated, and has a warm heart of compassion for the weak and orphans. Mrs. Lou also said that good or bad temper is only the last part, and the young merchants are still young, so I will teach them slowly in the future." Mrs. Xiao continued.

Mrs Sang laughed: "Yo, I can't see that Ayao's father is so generous and kind, Shao Shang will be blessed in the future."

Mrs. Xiao smiled bitterly, and said bleakly: "My own daughter, I don't know there are so many benefits, Lord Lou, an outsider can see it. Shunhua, tell me, am I wrong."

Seeing Su Ri's stubborn and conceited concubine with a disappointed face and self-doubt, Sang couldn't help but soften her heart and said comfortably: "There's still a lot to learn about Shaoshang. Just one word of 'make your own decisions and be conceited' can scare me and her uncle into a cold sweat! You don't know, Shaoshang wanted to open a kiln and burn bricks by himself before! It's scary to death. I am, the water and fire are ruthless, a little inappropriate, the kiln blew up, the bricks exploded, and the scalding burns to the face, what should I do?!" She patted her chest, and she still has lingering fears when she thinks about it.

Mrs. Xiao laughed: "You persuaded her, she still listened. But now I have to listen to her."

Sang said softly: "...This child, only willing to listen to her good people."

Mrs. Xiao was silent.

Cheng Shi slipped out to embarrass him (cross out, test the school), the future husband-in-law, and his daughter stared at him with wide-eyed eyes. Except for the arrows and saber gestures, he was good at throwing stone locks and nothing came out. .

"Father, what are you doing? Isn't it bad to get Ayao out of the school? Can you still get the token back from Uncle Lou?" Shaoshang crossed his hips and smiled, "Father, let me tell you a wise saying. Before the marriage is decided, you must investigate and probe the shortcomings of others, and once the marriage is decided, you must look at the benefits of others, so that the life will be easier!"

Father Cheng is also an old driver, so how could he be stumped by his daughter? Seeing that Lou Yao has been helped down by his servants to apply the medicine, he smiled and said, "What do you know at such a young age, I'm trying his strength for you. It would be better if your son-in-law is weaker. In the future, when you quarrel, you can also fight against him, so as not to wait for your father and brother to rescue you and see you with a blue nose and a swollen face!"

Shao Shang became angry and said loudly, "Father, you Can you expect me to order it!" Dare to abuse her and lend him ten courage? !

Now that the marriage has been decided, Shaoshang cannot be allowed to continue to be happy outside. The etiquette process that should be followed, the etiquette routines and basic family genealogy that should be understood, should be trained quickly.

That night, Mrs. Xiao instructed the servant to pack the luggage for the young merchant. As he was busy, Young Master Lou shyly came to ask, 'Can I go back to the capital with the Cheng family'. Mrs. Xiao looked at the roof speechlessly, and reluctantly went down after a while. At the same time, she groaned lightly in her heart. No wonder the third brother and his wife were there with such an old god, and they were determined and relaxed. Seeing the boy's stickiness towards his daughter, it was obvious that he had been firmly grasped!

Mrs. Xiao is a resolute person. The team repaired for two days, and on the fourth day, she took her daughter and set off. Lou Yao rode next to the accompanying car as usual, regretting that his fiancee could not ride with him.

Shaoshang reluctantly said goodbye to Mrs Sang, tears welling in his eyes, and kept telling Mrs Sang to take care of her body and take care of her injured legs, her voice was choked with sincerity, and Mrs. Xiao looked sour from the side.

It was not only her who felt sore, but also Cheng Zhi, who had been standing in the cold wind for a long time. He took his wife's hand from his niece's hand as if naturally, and then said a few clichés with a caring expression.

Shao Shang looked at his third uncle with pity.

Father Cheng is a typical wise man who can let go of small things and clear his mind in big things. Mrs. Xiao looked strong, but she seldom changed what Father Cheng made up his mind. But the third uncle, whose stomach is far less beautiful than his face, was held in the palm of his hand by Mrs. Sang without knowing it, and he was always complacent. It can be seen that the nutrients that should have grown in the brain have grown into the face.

Cheng Zhi also looked at his niece with pity.

His elder brother knew that Cheng Shi had been honest and sincere from the top of his head to the soles of his feet since he was a child. Tell a lie like the truth, and if you don't make people cry when you tell the truth, then it's a misbehavior. Mrs. Xiao is even more stubborn and clever. No matter how powerful your niece is, can she turn over the palms of this couple? If one can't get it right, they will throw the cup and be tortured by the cane!

Cheng Zhi touched his niece's head: "When you get home, listen to your grandparents and don't be strong."

Shaoshang patted his uncle's arm: "Uncle, listen to your uncle's words, don't think too much. Yes, it's right to listen to my aunt."

Both uncles felt pitiful for each other in their stomachs, and it was rare for a while to get along, and they stopped fighting each other.

The bamboo whip was raised, and the convoy set off. Shao Shang looked back from the car window and saw that the city gate was slowly closing behind her. She let out a soft sigh—she was going back to the capital. I hope that I can marry Lou Yao sooner, and then go out to serve as an official with him.
