In the spring of the following year, Shen Ling followed the old lady out to go out in the countryside.

The old lady has many farms under her name, and she has been thinking about choosing a farmer to give to Shen Ling as a dowry. Said it was outing, but it was actually going to see those Zhuangzi.

It happened that there was a Zhuangzi next to the Bai family's other courtyard. Soon after the grandson and grandson arrived, the manager of the Zhuangshang presented a greeting note.

The old lady smiled after reading it: "Hurry up and invite people in."

After Bai Lang came in, Shen Ling had only recollected it, and it turned out that he had voted for the greeting.

Seeing that Bai Lang respectfully greeted the old lady, the old lady asked him how he would be here. Bai Lang said that his home is not as quiet as the other courtyard, so he has lived here for more than a month. Just now I heard that the butler said that two masters had come up from the Zhuangzi of the Zhao Mansion next door, so he cast a greeting card to ask for peace.

The old lady saw that he valued this marriage so much, she couldn't help but smiled in satisfaction, and asked him to hurry up to study, and she didn't have to come to ask for peace in the future, and finally ordered Shen Ling to send him off.

Shen Ling only froze for a while when he heard the words, and then met Bai Lang generously and smiled and sent him out of Zhuangzi.

Bai Lang took a deep look at her when he left, and the look in his eyes was very complicated. Shen Ling felt that he seemed to have something to say, but in the end he still didn't say anything, smiled faintly at her and left.

Shen Ling always felt that this scene seemed familiar, and she must have had an intersection with Bai Lang before coming to Lu Bilin, but she didn't take it to heart, which led to her being ignorant of the past.

The old lady originally planned to leave after seeing Zhuangzi, but now seeing that Bai Lang lives next door, she decided to stay for a few days. In the next few days, Bai Lang did not come over to ask for peace at the instructions of the old lady. Instead, he often sent people over to send some food and toys, such as newly-listed cherries, freshly steamed dim sum from the kitchen, or taller than a person. kite.

Shen Ling sat under the crabapple tree, picked up a snack from the plate, and watched the maids fly a kite while eating. He didn't know if he could live such a leisurely and comfortable life when he arrived at Bai's in the future.

After returning to Zhao's Mansion from Zhuangzi, Shen Ling resumed his previous life, only that he learned the new content of housekeeping in addition to embroidering the dowry.

The old lady didn't worry about others, she taught Shen Ling how to manage the people, how to manage the farms and shops under her name. Shen Ling already had management experience in this area in the world of imperial examinations, so the old lady soon discovered that her granddaughter was talented in this area, and she couldn't help but let go of her worry.

It was probably because she was quick to get started, and the old lady soon gave her a farm and two shops that accompanied her to cook.

The farm that the old lady gave her was the one next to the Bai family's courtyard. There were more than 100 acres of fertile land and more than 50 acres of woodland. The two shops are located in the busiest street in Jincheng, and the rent alone is more than one thousand taels of silver each year.

In addition, the old lady gave her an extra five thousand taels of silver in the bottom of the box. The dowry given to her by the old lady alone is enough to give her the ostentation of marrying a daughter in another family.

It's just that the old lady was not upset about the marriage that Mrs. Shen did, so she forced her to use her father's money to buy a dowry for her granddaughter. Mrs. Shen simply handed the matter to Lin Baozhu. Because Lin Baozhu had promised Shen Ling earlier, she gritted her teeth and took out five thousand taels of silver from her father, and added a Zhuangzi under the name of the mansion.

In this way, when Shen Ling got married, he had two farms, two shops, and a box of five thousand taels of silver, in addition to some head jewelry, some clothing materials, and some antique ornaments.

When these dowries were brought to Bai's house the day before they got married, everyone present reacted differently.

Bai Lang couldn’t see any expression on his face. The old lady of the Bai family was not happy with this marriage. She felt that her granddaughter-in-law did not have a family, and she would not be able to help Bai Lang in the future. Now she sees the rich dowry, she has some smiles on her face. . Mrs. Mu, Bai Lang's aunt, has lost her life since her only aunt. Now she sees the dowry brought by Zhao's mansion, she suddenly thinks of her son who passed away early. She couldn't help but touch her sadness, and her eyes blushed immediately. .

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the dowry, and no one noticed her gaffe.

After reading the dowry, the old lady of the Bai family was about to be held back to her room by the maid. When she suddenly remembered something, she asked her grandson, "I asked Sister Wu to cook the pot of yam rib soup for you in the morning. Have you drink it?"

Bai Lang responded indifferently: "The grandson was a little full for lunch, so he didn't move."

There were several kidney-tonifying herbs in the yam pork ribs soup. She also specifically instructed Mrs. Wu to stew on the fire all morning, but he did not drink it. The more the old lady thought about it, the more angry she became, and she immediately wanted to have a seizure. Aunt Lian, who has always been a background board, hurriedly supported the old lady Bai, "Old lady, right before dinner, the second master is also hungry, so it's better to ask Aunt Wu to warm up the soup and serve it to the second master."

When she was interrupted in this way, the old lady Bai did not have an attack, and she knew that even if she had an attack, her grandson would not have any reaction. So she glanced at Bai Lang coldly, and left with Aunt Lian and the maids.

When they left, most of the people in the yard suddenly went, leaving only Madam Mu, the two henchmen and Bai Lang beside him.

Madam Mu sighed faintly: "Why are you? The old lady is angry, and the master will punish you to kneel at the ancestral hall if he finds out."

Bai Lang's attitude towards his aunt was better than that of the old lady, but he only smiled faintly and did not speak. He has never been able to let go of what happened back then. If Mrs. Mu was willing to plead with the old lady for her mother at that time, his mother might not die.

But Mrs. Mu didn't, so although Bai Lang didn't hate her, he couldn't respect her either.

Madam Mu couldn't wait for him to speak, sighed again, and left with her two confidants.

Bai Lang stood there for a long time, until the first quarter moon slowly rose up to the west of the yard, he didn't move, and then the small servant by his side urged the four to go back to the room for dinner.

At this time, Shen Ling had already used dinner, and was snuggling next to the old lady, listening to her old lady talk about some things when she was young.

The old lady recalled what happened when she was young, and then mentioned her dead daughter, "It was a small and soft group back then, and it was so easy to raise you so much, but you didn’t know if you were married in less than two or three years. . Only a little bit of your blood is left. Your father is very affectionate, and your mother didn’t marry again after death. I planned to persuade him to continue when you grow up. There will be someone who will raise you in the future. I haven’t waited yet. When you were five years old, he also left."

Shen Ling listened to these words, and then remembered Lu Bilin's childhood memories, only to feel that everything was very far away from him, only listening indifferently, without speaking.

The old lady suddenly came back to her senses after she finished speaking, "I am confused when I am old. How can I talk about this on this happy day." She touched the top of Shen Ling's hair and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow. Go to bed!"

Shen Ling smiled lightly: "I'm not sleepy yet. Grandma will talk to me again!" After today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sit together and gossiping like this. Even though the Bai family was only a few dozen miles away from Zhao's residence, how could the married aunt often go to her family's home.

The old lady sighed softly: "It's getting late, and I have to toss for another day tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest!"

Shen Ling had just left the room where the old lady lived, and returned to the yard next door.

While lying on the bed, Shen Ling somehow, suddenly remembered the life of the fisher girl, also the night before getting married, and didn't know what she was doing at that time.

But when she woke up early the next day, Shen Ling found that this marriage was much more cumbersome than the previous one. When she finally sat on the big mahogany bed in the bridal chamber, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If it weren't for her inner strength, she would be exhausted and scattered all day long.

When she was secretly rejoicing, her eyes lit up and Bai Lang provoked her hijab. There was a sudden call from the bridal chamber, some who praised the bride's beauty, some who were jokingly white, and some who said her wedding dress was good-looking.

After these people had dispersed, Shen Ling had the opportunity to change his clothes and wash away the heavy makeup on his face. While she was doing this, Bai Lang had been called out, and it was already late at night when she came back.

Shen Ling leaned against the head of the bed and closed her eyes to rest her mind. She had already had the first experience before, but she was not nervous at all, but she was afraid that she might not be careful and forget that she was the person below. After all, in the world of imperial examinations, she had been a man for 20 years, and she was afraid that some things would become natural. It would be bad if Bai Lang found an abnormality.

When Bai Lang came in, there was not much movement. After he washed gently, he found that Shen Ling, who was leaning on the bed, had sat upright. He couldn't help asking, "Did I wake you up?"

Shen Ling shook his head: "I was not asleep."

Bai Lang coughed slightly: "It's getting late, let's rest!"

Shen Ling sensed the tension in his words and couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay."

After the two were lying on the bed side by side, Shen Ling thought he would be the same as Lin Qing, he would move after a while, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement on Bai Lang's side.

Shen Ling couldn't help sighing in his heart, why is her husband shyer than the other!

She tried to move, and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Bai Lang replied quickly, his voice somewhat suppressed, but he still didn't move.

Shen Ling couldn't help flashing a trace of doubt, isn't there a problem with this Bai Lang?

She thought for a while and said, "Why are you still not sleeping?"

Bai Lang waited for a while before saying, "Can't sleep."

"Why can't you fall asleep?"

Bai Lang asked instead, "Can I ask you a question?"

"What's the problem, you say."

Bai Lang said carefully: "Do you like children?"

Shen Ling didn't understand why he suddenly asked about this, and after thinking about it, he said, "You still like it!"

Bai Lang stopped talking. Shen Ling waited for a long time before he heard him sigh softly, "Go to sleep!"

This was how Shen Ling's wedding night passed. At dawn, she opened her eyes and looked at her side. Bai Lang was already awake, staring at the top of the tent in a daze.

Shen Ling realized that she really didn't understand the man lying beside her, her current husband.

You have to say that he doesn't like himself, Shen Ling feels that based on some of his performance, he should still have a good impression of himself. But you have to say that he likes himself, why doesn't he touch himself on the wedding night.

Shen Ling really couldn't figure it out. She glanced at the white pagoda by the bed, and she didn't know how he would explain Yuanpa in a while. You must know that their family members usually check Yuanpa on the second day of their wedding.
