Du Qingchen looked at Tao Xiude with a smile. Tao Xiude was shocked by the poverty of the people. Although his family was poor, his father was already an official when he was born, and he never suffered such hardships.

Tao Xiude nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "It seems that I was wrong."

He may have been thinking wrong. First, he was wrong about the lives of the people, and second, he overestimated Du Qingchen. , If Du Qingchen really has such a great ability, if he can get the jade pendant and find someone to put it in his house, why can't he even afford a table, chair and bench.

After all, Du Qingchen is just an ordinary commoner. Even if he is a little clever, he is not worthy of being looked up to, because he thinks too much.

"Young Master, what did you think wrong?" Du Qingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

But just in case, since Tao Xiude is here, it's impossible to leave like this, Tao Xiude smiled, "I'm thinking about the life of the common people in the world!"

Du Qingchen chuckled, "Young master comes from a wealthy background and has never been in contact with ordinary people. Life is also right, it's not wrong."

Tao Xiude nodded, jumped over the stubble, and said, "Boss Du, I'm here this time to congratulate you, and secondly, there is a small problem. I want to ask you." "Master, may I

ask."

"Why did Boss Du put the jade pendant in my room, I don't quite understand?" Tao Xiude said suddenly.

"What jade pendant? Where did I get the jade pendant?" Du Qingchen knew his purpose as early as when Tao Xiude came to the door, and he was well prepared. Even if Tao Xiude deceived him, he would not be fooled.

"Identity jade pendant with the character Meng! Didn't you give it to me? Stop pretending!"

"I... have never seen a jade pendant like this? The only time I have a jade pendant in my life was last time, when my husband was celebrating his birthday, I bought it for him for a couple of silvers. Let's count it as a token of love!" Du Qingchen said He couldn't help but smile shyly and lowered his head.

Tao Xiude:

"Uh, Boss Du really doesn't know?"

"I really don't know, why did you think I gave it to you?"

Tao Xiude touched his nose, "It's not because I am here except Liu. Uncle, they only know you! Thinking about it, who else could it be? It can only be you!" Tao Xiude smiled.

Du Qingchen lowered his eyes, "Young master, I don't even know where you live! What are you talking about putting it in your house? Besides, I'm so busy these days, you see, I'm getting married soon, and I can't be separated at all. I don't have time to find you!"

"Well, I don't have any friends or something? Can you help?"

"Young master is joking, people in my village who have a good relationship with my family and have relatives are all here to help now. Those who are farther away, such as Qiu Tieniu and the others, are also familiar with the Su family, and they help out in the Su family! For a big event like getting married, relatives and friends are all busy with it!"

It seems to make sense, and these people It's just ordinary people who can't open the window to enter his house in broad daylight and put a jade pendant there.

Tao Xiude took out the paper and said to Du Qingchen, "Help me write a few words, just scratch and pull with a burnt wooden stick."

"This..." Du Qingchen hesitated.

"What? Is there a problem?" Tao Xiude's eyes lit up.

"Master, why do you do such a thing?" Du Qingchen asked tentatively.

"Um... Just play, I have recently learned a skill, and I can see from the words what will happen next to this person, it's like measuring words and fortune-telling, so try it! You're going to get married, and you don't want to know. Are you suitable for your future husband? Can you live well?"

Du Qingchen chuckled, "I don't believe this, I only believe in myself, and I also believe in my husband, we will have a good life. There are some contradictions. , I will let him."

"Uh, just test it, don't worry, write it and try it!" Tao Xiude smiled, but his attitude was very firm.

Du Qingchen was helpless, "It's done!"

Du Qingchen went out and came back with a burnt wooden stick. He sat on a chair and wrote the words Du Qingchen on a piece of paper. Then he put down the stick and Tao Xiude hurried over to look.

"Uh...why did you write your own name?" How does this make him compare the strokes?

"Shouldn't I write my own name? I'm sorry, I used to start with my own name when I practiced calligraphy, so I'm used to it as soon as I get started." Du Qingchen said embarrassedly.

"Oh, that's it! Then I'll say a few words, and you can write them, okay?"

"Okay!" Du Qingchen looked helpless, as if he was coaxing a rogue child. Tao Xiude naturally saw Du Qingchen's expression and couldn't bear it. Take a deep breath, be calm, be calm, after all, you are making trouble unreasonably.

In the room connected to the main room, Du Rulin had already put down his pen, because Du Qingchen was going to get married, so he also took a few days off and came back to help, but he was going to take the Tongsheng test again, so neither Father Du nor Du Qingchen wanted to. He helped and only allowed him to read at home, so he was writing in the cubicle at the moment, and since Tao Xiude came in, he couldn't write anymore, just listened to the movement outside.

"

Yuebaifengqing, turn to the gully." Du Qingchen stopped writing and passed the paper to Tao Xiude, his face a little unhappy.

Tao Xiude hurried over to pick up the white characters and the grooved characters and looked at them carefully. After a long time, he was a little disappointed that the note was indeed not written by Du Qingchen.

The smile on Du Qingchen's face faded a little, "Young Master, I'm going to get married the day after tomorrow, so I shouldn't write about it, it's not auspicious." The

so-called Yuebaifengqing, turning to a ravine, means being in a quiet and beautiful place with the moon At night, he traveled to another country and died in a ravine. Tao Xiude asked him to write such words. Even if Du Qingchen was angry, he was forgiven.

Tao Xiude was stunned, and quickly apologized.

"Young Master Tao came here today and seems to be testing me all the time, but he just doesn't know what happened to make him suspect me so much?" Du Qingchen stood up.

"No, how could it be..." Tao Xiude smiled.

Du Qingchen just stared at him, for a moment, and sighed, "Well, anyway, the son is the son of the prefect, so what if he doubts me? I am a commoner, and I should be glad that there is no official escort to escort me to question me. Dare to blame the young master for suspecting me?"

"No, no! Boss Du, don't think so, I really take you as a friend, I think you are a very interesting person, and I want to befriend you." Tao Xiude Quickly explained, and acted pitiful again.

"It's not easy for me either. You always say that it's not easy for your people. Do you think it's easy for people like me? You only need to think about making money to live, and you don't have to worry about your life, but what about me! People like me, who knows What will happen in the next moment? Will it be killed... I'm sorry, you are getting married, let's not talk about this." Tao Xiude waved his hand.

Du Qingchen frowned slightly, "I don't understand you, and you don't understand us either, so just understand each other."

"That's right! Anyway, I'm here today to celebrate your marriage, congratulations!" Tao Xiude stood up and shook hands.

"I'm getting married the day after tomorrow..."

"Uh... I've come to congratulate in advance, the day after tomorrow... I may not be here for the next few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time, so I'll come early."

"Young Master is leaving?"

"Don't go, I'll be back soon, I have something to do."

"Okay!" Du Qingchen nodded, "Then when you come back, it is estimated that my shop will reopen, and then I will cook for your son!"

"That's good! When your store opens, I guess my affairs will come to an end. When the time comes, I must have a good time! Celebrate!" Tao Xiude laughed.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you for a drink." Du Qingchen laughed.

Tao Xiude chatted for a few more polite words, and then made the appearance of leaving, but turned his head and gave the servant behind him a look. He fell on the table with a thud.

Du Qingchen snorted, and Du Rulin was startled, and quickly came out of the room, "Let go of my brother! What are you doing, Master Tao!"

"Whoops! What are you doing!" Tao Xiude hurriedly stopped the servant.

The servant said with a cold face: "I think this gentleman seems to be doing something bad to the son just now, and wants to touch something from his arms..."

"Nonsense! Let go! Boss Du, are you alright!" Tao Xiude hurried up Soothe before.

"It's all right." Du Qingchen rubbed his arms and stood up, knowing the origin of this incident in his heart, but he just didn't expect Tao Xiude to really give no face at all, so he just pushed hard. But this also shows that Tao Xiude suspects that someone who knows martial arts put the jade pendant in his room, so he came to test him, then thinking about it, Xiao Er is not suspected at all.

It's dark under the lights, Mr. Tao! Du Qingchen secretly laughed in his heart, but his face was very ugly, "I didn't plan to take anything out of my arms, this little brother is wrong!"

"Yes, yes! He is wrong, Boss Du, oh, look This, I'm really sorry, I said I won't take you out, you! I don't like to take you out because of this!" Tao Xiude pointed at the servant and blamed, "Apologize to Boss Du soon!"

"I'm sorry! ' The servant bowed and saluted.

"It's fine. I'm fine. If you have a good relationship with your son, it won't be good. You should pay more attention!"

"Yes."

Du Rulin took Du Qingchen's arm to check to make sure he was okay. The matter is over.

Tao Xiude was about to leave, and Du Qingchen hurriedly said, "Young Master, didn't you just say to help me test my words? What did you see? You haven't told me yet!"

Tao Xiude choked, he didn't think about it at all This question, but Du Qingchen's question is also excusable, Tao Xiude thought for a while, and then said: "Boss Du has a long life, his husband and wife are harmonious, and there are many children and grandchildren. Good omen, good omen! Hahaha!"

"Thank you Tao . Young Master has given me a message." Du Qingchen smiled and bowed his hands, sending the person out of the gate before turning around.

"Brother, they are going too far!" Du Rulin said angrily when Du Qingchen returned to the room.

"No problem, he didn't try too hard, he just wanted to see if I would resist instinctively and if I had martial arts skills." Du Qingchen had nothing to do. Sitting in the main room, Du Qingchen casually opened the gift box that Tao Xiude brought over. , I saw a small gold inlaid jade ornament inside.

Du Qingchen sneered and closed it, "I will sell this thing tomorrow, and if I make a small profit, my capital will be enough. I really thank him for the second time." Du Qingchen raised his hand and lightly rubbed his twisted arm. .

After leaving Dujia Village on horseback, Tao Xiude asked with a cold face, "Are you sure ?

"

Much more, just a smarter ordinary person." Tao Xiude sighed.

...

On the day of the wedding, Du Qingchen was knocked on the door by Du's father and called out early in the morning, but it was only slightly bright at this time.

"You should get up soon to wash up, eat something earlier, and prepare earlier, so as not to be in a hurry and make mistakes."

"Yes, Dad." Du Qingchen got up helplessly and began to clean up.

A countryman wants to invite outsiders to cook when he gets married. Even though Du Qingchen is the cook himself, there is no reason for him to do it. Therefore, next to the large pot in the yard, the cook who cut the pork the day before yesterday was standing. Du Qingchen got up and said hello with a smile, "The groom is up, he is going to marry his daughter-in-law today, congratulations!"

Du Qingchen bowed his hands in return, "Good morning! Thank you, I will trouble you today."

"Look at you . I said, it shouldn't be!" The cook continued to work, and Du Qingchen also found water to wash and ate something before he was fully awake.

Du Rulin hadn't woken up yet, and no one had called him. After all, he was a child, and Father Du still wanted him to sleep longer. Except for the sound of the chef chopping vegetables and cooking meat, there was no other sound in the yard, and it was still very quiet.

As the sky gradually brightened, the people who came to help and welcome relatives gradually gathered in the Du's courtyard. Without being called, Du Rulin was woken up, rubbed his eyes and got up and cleaned himself up. In the courtyard, Du Qingchen was asking for a request from the same village. Talk to the person with whom he is going to meet his relatives.

"Brother." Du Rulin changed into a suit that was convenient for activities. He was also going to receive guests today.

"Get up! Let's go get something to eat! After a while, we'll be almost ready, we should leave, and the family will be handed over to you.

" To receive guests at home, have their own things to do.

"Brother Qingchen, do you think your business in the town is so profitable? Just look at you, the debt has been repaid, the house has been built, and the well has been hit. You are too powerful. No, you can take me with you too?"

"I said brother! If you don't dislike my small temple, then come and help, just like being talented and rich!"

"This...hehe..." Du Youcai Du Fugui and Du Fugui are both children. Besides, Du Qingchen recruited the two in the name of half apprentice and half assistant. Du Qingchen will also teach them to cook. Therefore, the salary is extremely low, only three times a month. It's only 400 wen. If it's him, but he can't support his family and make a living, let's forget it!

After chatting for a while, Du Qingchen watched and listened to all directions. People he didn't know smiled, and then listened to other people's names. Gradually, he understood the identities of many people and filled up the lack of memory of the original body.

"It's almost everyone, it's almost time, it's time to set off, remember to carry the things who should carry it! Don't pull it down, Qingchen, go back and change your clothes!" The elders in the clan shouted.

"Understood." Du Qingchen trotted into the bedroom, and soon came out after changing the groom's clothes. He didn't change it just now because he was afraid of getting dirty.

There was a big horse with a tall head at the door, and a red cloth flower was tied on the head of the horse. The horse, like the sedan chair, was rented by Father Du, which is also a must-have item for people in the village to get married.

"Brother Qingchen, have you ever ridden a horse? Be steady, don't fall, hahaha..." At the door, the villagers watching the lively jokingly laughed.

"It's okay, this horse is docile. After so many years, who doesn't need it for marriage? It has never been hurt! It's not even afraid of firecrackers."

Du Qingchen was relieved when he heard someone explain. I don't know how to ride a horse, but this horse has been rented by people all the year round when they are married. I think I should get used to it. Whether it is a stranger riding it or lighting firecrackers, it will not disturb it.

But Du Qingchen still waited for the firecrackers to be set off before getting on the horse's back. He didn't want to challenge the possible danger, but the horse was really docile. With a big move, Du Qingchen also got on the horse with peace of mind.

"Let's go!" Someone shouted, and everyone stood in their own positions. The sedan chair who should carry the sedan chair, the sedan chair who should carry the gift box, and the gongs and drums went to Sujia Village together.

In Sujia Village, Su Dong also got up early. First, he was pinched by several elder brothers and his face was wrinkled. Tears were dripping with pain. raised eyebrows.

"Oh, our brother Dong is good-looking. When the Du family boy sees it at night, his eyes must be straight." The elder beside him laughed and joked.

Is it nice? Su Dong was stunned for a while. Originally, he had been sitting upright and didn't move, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at himself in the glasses, a red wedding dress with exquisite and intricate embroidery patterns on it. , with a white face, black eyebrows, and a hairpin on the top of his head. Because he is a brother, he doesn't need to wear too much jewelry.

Su Dong looked left and right, always felt that he was not as good-looking as the elders said, would Du Qingchen think he was ugly!

Su Dong opened his mouth slightly in worry.

"Look, our brother Dong was stunned by his beauty!"

I'm not! I do not have! Su Dong especially wanted to remove his makeup, he always felt that it was not as good as his original appearance, at least, Du Qingchen liked his original appearance!

But he didn't dare to say it, for fear that his elders would criticize him. He also knew that this was a makeup look that must be done to get married. In the end, he could only lower his head, secretly hoping that Du Qingchen would also think he was good-looking.

If...if Du Qingchen doesn't like it, then he...he just...washes his face...Su Dong thought cowardly.

"The groom is here!" The elder's voice came from outside the door. Su Dong was startled, and quickly sat up straight again.

"Father, mother! I'm here to pick up Su Dong!" Outside the door, as soon as Du Qingchen entered, he cheerfully shouted to the Su family's parents.

Inside the room, Su Dong's face turned red, but he painted his face with white powder, and he couldn't see the blush. Su Dong saw his appearance in the mirror, and suddenly felt that he understood why brother When a child and a woman get married, they have to wear such heavy makeup. In addition to covering up the shortcomings of the face, I am afraid that the biggest effect is to cover up the blush!

Outside, the people of Sujia Village couldn't embarrass Du Qingchen at all. Generally speaking, the first step for a groom to be embarrassed is to change his mouth. Most of the people in Sujia Village were stunned, and they changed their minds. !

It doesn't matter, there is still a red envelope!

The children rushed forward and blocked Du Qingchen's way. Du Qingchen was already prepared, and the brother behind him had already prepared the happy money and threw them directly behind him. The children cheered and rushed behind Du Qingchen. The unstoppable person.

The people of Sujia Village silently counseled and gave way to the groom, who was so well prepared that they did not recruit.

"Father and Mother." Du Qingchen walked cheerfully to the front of the main room, bowed to Su's father and Su's mother, and smiled very happily. "What about Su Dong?"

This is too fast! Although Su's father and Su's mother were satisfied with Du Qingchen, Du Qingchen walked in front of them in just a moment, and all the relatives and friends of the Su family could not stop Du Qingchen's footsteps, which made them not know whether they should let go or not. In other words, he Is Jia Dong'er ready?

Su Dong had already prepared, but just sat and waited. Su's father and Su's mother couldn't make a noise to stop him. They could only get out of the way and let the elders in the house help Su Dong out of the house.

"The newcomer enters the sedan chair!"

Su Dong held the hand of the elder beside him, wearing a red hijab on his head, and stepped onto Du Qingchen's sedan chair. Du Qingchen couldn't talk to Su Dong, he just smiled silently.

Although there was a lot of noise around, Su Dong seemed to hear Du Qingchen's laughter, his footsteps couldn't help but pause, his face became more and more hot.

Du Qingchen rode a horse in the front, and the sedan chair followed behind, beating gongs and drums all the way back to Du's house. In the Du's house, the main room has been cleaned up, and Du's father has also changed into new clothes. The wrinkles on his smiling face are more obvious. Yes, but in good spirits.

In the roar of everyone, Su Dong got off the sedan chair, and Du Qingchen could finally pull Su Dong...the red silk in his hand justifiably.

Well, we have to wait a little longer, Du Qingchen thought to himself with a smile.

"First worship the heaven and earth."

"Second worship the high hall."

"The husband and wife worship each other." " Send to the

bridal chamber!"

The tribe pulled out.

"Drink and drink! You won't go home if you don't get drunk today!"

"I'll wipe! I won't accompany me! What should I do if I'm drunk today!" Du Qingchen was pulled out, and a table was already set up for a banquet outside, but the person who pulled him was his clan brother, so Du Qingchen didn't care. To save face, he threw off the opponent's arm, and the roar of the crowd became more and more enthusiastic.

The wooden house is not soundproof. Su Dong can clearly hear the sound outside. He lowered his head slightly. The door has been closed. It is estimated that no one will come in before the banquet is over. Looking around from under the hijab, the wooden floor is very comfortable to step on. There is a faint woody fragrance in the whole room. Su Dong moved a little and felt something on the bed. He raised his hand and touched it. Out of some dried fruit candy.

Actually... I'm a little hungry, eat a little bit, no problem! Su Dong thought in confusion.
