The Sweet Little Fulang

Qingxi Village is very close to the mountain, and is named after the Qingxi River next to the village.

The second room of the Shen family on the west side of the village is very lively today.

Shen Shunfu had been gone two years earlier. Under the help of his wife, Wei Lanxiang, he found a marriage for his second son, Shen Xuanqing, and married Lu Wen from Anjia village three villages apart.

Lu Wen, the two children of the Lu family, is notoriously good-looking, and has attended school for a few days in the town. No matter how she speaks or dresses, it is different.

She looks good and can read and read. In Wei Lanxiang's opinion, she is naturally compatible with her second child, and she asked Shen Xuanqing what she meant. Seeing that her son was willing, she was resolute and promised a dowry of 20 taels of silver. The marriage was given, and today is finally the time to get married.

The gongs and drums were beaten, the suona was played, and the welcoming team came back. As soon as they stopped, they were surrounded by people for money, and the vocal music was mixed together, making it extremely lively.

The more people who come to the wedding, the happier the host will be. The Shen family is naturally not stingy with throwing money for the happy event. Someone took out a lot of copper coins from the red cloth and sprinkled it into the crowd. For a time, everyone rushed to grab it. more lively.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers and joyous music, the tall Shen Xuanqing, dressed in a red cloth, took out the bridegroom with a red hijab from the sedan chair, walked all the way across the courtyard into the main room, crossed the brazier and worshipped, and led People go to the new house.

Rao is usually not too expressive. Today is the big day to marry a husband. Amidst the booing of young men, Shen Xuanqing's eyes are full of satisfied smiles.

In the new room, Shen Xuanqing led Lu Wen to sit beside the bed, and then went over to close the door.

According to their rules here, he can't take off his hood yet, and he can't come in until after toasting to the guests outside.

The person beside the bed kept clutching the fabric on his lap after he sat down. Shen Xuanqing didn't think much about it, thinking that Lu Wen was too nervous. Looking at the thin hands, he thought that Lu Wen was really working at home, and there were old scars on his hands, which should have been scratched.

After the marriage was made, someone told him how to marry a young master who can't even work. Isn't this nonsense?

When looking for a matchmaker to discuss a marriage, the other party said that Lu Jiayang Lu Wen is indeed a little more delicate. Although he can't do heavy work, he is diligent and quick. He is good at cooking and laundry. Bags of medicine sachets allow family members to sell in the town, either to earn a little for themselves, or to subsidize the family.

Shen Xuanqing never thought of letting his husband do heavy work to earn money to support the family. He even knows how to cook and do laundry. In order to hunt, he often lives alone in a wooden house in the mountains for ten days and a half. If he can't cook, he can only eat. dry food.

After he came in, he stood beside the bed for a while and didn't know what to do, as if he was made nervous by his own husband. He walked a few steps on the spot, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. If others saw this look, It is necessary to laugh at him a few times.

"I'll go out to toast first."

At the end, Shen Xuanqing remembered that there was still this matter, so he raised his foot and walked out.

As soon as he opened the door, he stopped again, turned around and said to the person beside the bed, "I'll ask Shen Yan to bring you something to eat, so let's make a cushion first."

The hand of the person sitting beside the bed clenched the fabric on his leg tightly. Seeing that he heard it, Shen Xuanqing might be too shy to speak, so he didn't do what he thought, and closed the door smoothly after going out.

The people in the room sat stiffly, and when he was the only one left, he seemed to take a breath and bent his back slightly.

Not long after, the door was pushed open again, and a girl in a new cyan cloth walked in with the noodle soup. It was Shen Yan, the younger sister of Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing.

She looks twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face and almond eyes. She smiles when she sees the newlyweds sitting beside the bed. She is still a little curious about this husband and brother who has only met two or three times. It's the best looking. Her brother Lu Wen is already good-looking, and she doesn't know what it will be like today.

"Brother Wen, I brought you noodle soup, and my mother also asked my aunt to help the cook to lay eggs in it. Eat it while it's hot."

As Shen Yan said, she put the bowl and chopsticks into Lu Wen's hands. Seeing that no one was moving, her hand holding the chopsticks tightened. She smiled and said, "Brother Wen, I'm going out first, you can eat Just put it on the table."

The bridegroom lifts his hijab because he wants the groom to come. It's not yet time, and Lu Wen naturally can't show his face in front of outsiders.

Shen Yan was young, so she didn't think too much, so she also closed the door and went out.

After there was no one else in the room, the person beside the bed carefully placed the tableware and chopsticks on the edge of the bed, then lifted the corner of the hijab and quietly looked around the room.

If Shen Yan was present, she would definitely recognize that the person in the room was not the Lu Wen she had seen before.

Compared to Lu Wen's literacy and literacy, Lu Gu looked very thin and frail because he couldn't eat enough to work all day.

The window of this room was opened to the front yard. Fortunately, in order to prevent the bride and groom from being seen by others, the window was closed, and the window bolt was bolted from the inside.

It was very lively outside. Someone was comparing wine with Shen Xuanqing. It should be Shen Xuanqing who finished drinking first, and the crowd burst into cheers.

The liveliness of others was terrifying to Lu Gu. He felt uneasy, and when he thought that he was really put into the sedan chair and brought to Shen's house, his face became even paler.

He didn't know how the Shen family was, but he knew about Shen Xuanqing. Last year was the year before. He and several other pairs went to the tofu shop to exchange tofu. On the way, there was a fight. Among them was Shen Xuanqing, tall and strong, black With a fist in the face, the person fell down.

Lu Gu, who was beaten every three or five minutes, took a step back at that time. If it hit him, it would be much more powerful than his stepmother's stick and rattan. Maybe he could go to see his mother directly.

Someone told him that the man was the hunter of Qingxi Village, and Lu Gu remembered it from then on. Anjia Village and Qingxi Village are not close, but they are not too far. Fortunately, he did not encounter them again after two or three quarters of an hour. Over Shen Xuanqing.

He had few contacts, and he didn't dare to take a second glance at such a vicious man, but three months ago, the matchmaker told his elder brother Lu Wen about the marriage, and it was Shen Xuanqing.

Lu Wen was born to his stepmother Du Hehua and the first man. After the man died, he brought Lu Wen to the Lu family.

Lu Gu felt a little startled when he thought of Shen Xuanqing, but when he thought about it, it had nothing to do with him. It was for Lu Wen. That's what matters.

What's more, at home, the stepmother would call him when she instructed him to work, and even his own father didn't pay much attention to him. Lu Wen's marriage was only known by others.

So even if he knew about it, he didn't even ask a single word when he got home, lowered his head to work and didn't speak, and tried to keep his movements light as much as possible, otherwise if he was noticed by his stepmother, he would be able to give him more nitpicking. He was looking for something, and the work was still good. He was most afraid of starvation and beatings.

In the area of ​​Fenggu Town, after the matchmaker and the parents of both parties agreed on something, they would also let the two young people meet.

There are also rules for seeing each other. You have to meet in another family with a daughter or a pair of children. Most of the children are sitting by the window and working. Stay for a while, so that you can see each other without causing gossip.

Logically speaking, how could Shuang'er go to the Hanzi's village, so when the two saw each other, it was Shen Xuanqing who came to Anjia Village.

That day, Lu Gu was stuffed with dirty clothes by his stepmother. On the way to the river, he saw the tall figure in the distance, so he went around from the other side.

The stepmother often scolds him that he is an unlucky ghost. Lu Gu sometimes thinks to himself, as if he really has no luck. He is afraid that bad luck will happen to him. If he accidentally angers Shen Xuanqing, he will be beaten. It's miserable, so avoid it if you can.

Alright now, he really is an unlucky person, even the absurd thing of marrying for him fell on him, and the stepmother even coaxed him to say that she was kind enough to find a good marriage for him.

If it was a good thing, how could it be his turn.

He didn't know what his stepmother was thinking. Although he didn't know how to read, he also knew that Lu Wen and Shen Xuanqing had asked someone to write a marriage letter. It's Lu Wen's name, not his, so how dare you make such a mess.

It's not that he didn't understand that the stepmother was just coveting the twenty-two dowry and didn't want to return it to the Shen family.

It is said that the Shen family gave so much dowry money, and it is a heavy gift in any village, which shows that the family is not thin, and everyone thinks that it is a good marriage, but Lu Wen wants to regret the marriage.

Others don't know, but Lu Gu knows a little. He overheard the conversation between Lu Wen and his stepmother six or seven days ago. Lu Wen seems to be in close contact with people in the town. Wen was already engaged.

He was really unlucky, and the stepmother discovered this by accident. He thought he was going to be beaten, but when he squinted at his stepmother, she smiled at him and grabbed his hand gently. Paida, with a motherly appearance, made Lu Gu terrified.

When he heard that he was going to give Lu Wen's marriage to the hunter in Qingxi Village, Lu Gu shook his head at that time. The stepmother looked at him, gnashing her teeth and scolding him for not knowing what to do, and she squeezed the flesh on his arm hard, it hurt It made him want to pull back, and he didn't dare to say that he didn't want to.

That's not all, since that day, the stepmother stopped letting him go out to wash clothes and change things, and could only stay in the yard to do needlework. The stepmother was still watching him all the time, obviously afraid that he would run away or is to tell other people.

It was still lively outside.

Lu Gu sat on the edge of the bed and didn't dare to move, but his stomach didn't live up to his expectations, and was seduced by the smell of meat outside.

Early in the morning, he was dragged by his stepmother to wash and put on makeup. He just put on his wedding dress and put Lu Wen on the sedan chair, without even giving him a stutter.

It's not that he didn't resist, he even ran over the wall at night the day before yesterday, so as not to be found and beaten to death by Shen Xuanqing after the incident was revealed, but he couldn't run away. As soon as he ran out of the village in the dark, he was caught by his stepmother and father.

In the woodshed, he was gagged with rags, and his cries were gagged in his throat. Fear and despair made him tremble all over, but he was beaten badly. For two days after that, he could only eat rough food every day. Bing, he didn't even have the strength to run far.

The noodle soup was hot, with oily chopped green onions floating in the air. The less onion was just to give a taste, but there was a lot of oil. Shen Yan also said that there was a poached egg lying underneath.

Lu Gu looked at the bowl of noodles. He hadn't eaten such hot noodles for a long time. It was made of fine white noodles and even had eggs.

He picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup first. The oil, chives and shallots fragrantly entered his mouth. He had only tasted such a good taste when he was a child.

There weren't many noodles, but it was just a pad for his stomach. After the noodles and eggs were in his stomach, Lu Gu held the bowl and was reluctant to put down the noodle soup.

He is the only one in the room now, no one will take the bowl from him, and no stick will fall, so he sips such a fragrant green onion noodle soup, trying to remember the taste.

With a click, water fell into the soup, he wiped his tears, thinking that it would be good to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup before he died, at least he wouldn't be a starving ghost.

The one in the Shen family is Lu Wen. Once he finds out that he is not Lu Wen, he will definitely not give up.

Lu Gu had heard more than once that someone beat his wife or husband to death. In his opinion, Shen Xuanqing was fierce, and today might really be his death.

No matter how much noodle soup came to an end, Lu Gu felt a little reluctant when he put down the bowl. Hearing that someone outside was making a noise about the bridal chamber, his face turned pale, and he quickly sat back on the bed and covered his head.

He was clutching the fabric on his leg tightly, panicking and losing his mind, so scared that his body was shaking slightly. Fortunately, the noise outside was suppressed by Shen Xuanqing and the other people's laughing words, saying that the bridegroom was timid and shameless. Bo, I'm not in good health, I'm not good if I'm scared, I'm still eating and drinking good food and wine outside.

The matter of the bridal chamber gradually subsided, and Lu Gu had a feeling of escaping from death.

But as the guests dispersed after the banquet, the shadow of death enveloped him again.

The door was opened and closed, and someone walked towards the bed. Soon, in Lu Gu's low vision, a pair of boots that were not often worn by farmers appeared. The new boots were large, obviously men's, enough to see opponent's physique.

Lu Gu was trembling, the knuckles of his fingers holding the cloth turned white, and the moment the red hijab was lifted, the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen, and his mind went blank.

And Shen Xuanqing, who took off the hijab, saw the appearance of the fresh couple, the smile on his face disappeared, and he suddenly became stiff.
