Chapter 97 Oh, I lost my daughter-in-law while shopping
Mrs. Wang's words caused the other villagers to stare at her frequently, and some even said: "Your daughter, Mrs. Wang, is just an ordinary peasant girl, and the rash on her face is not good. Qin Rui is a lifesaver. You actually have the nerve to be afraid of 50 taels, you're not crazy about money."
"It's just that, I don't know what to think. It costs 50 taels to ask someone else, and I don't care if the value of my own home is worth it." The villagers talked in a hurry, and the more they talked, the more they went too far.
When Qin Rui heard that the Wang family wanted 50 taels of silver, his heart skipped a beat. His family's situation could only be considered ordinary, and he worked hard all year round to feed the family. How could he have 50 taels of silver to marry Liu Xiaodie.
Moreover, when they got married in Liujia Village, there was never such a number as 50 taels. The Wang family really opened their mouths.
Although Liu Xiaodie is Qin Rui's sweetheart, he is confident that he will be able to treat her well in the future, but there is absolutely no reason to let the family spoil the pot, or even borrow money and debts to marry her.
As a dignified man, how could he ignore the mother who gave birth to him?
Seeing his sweetheart lowering his eyes, Qin Rui couldn't bear it, so he quickly said: "Aunt Wang, you know the situation of the younger generation's family, and you certainly can't afford 50 taels of silver, but the younger generation can marry according to the village's marriage rules." According to the custom, the dowry is also the amount of an ordinary family, this junior will definitely treat Xiaodie sincerely, please promise this junior."
What Qin Rui said was extremely sincere and could be regarded as courteous.
The 50 taels that are about to be obtained are flying away, and Mrs. Wang herself is not happy, and the feeling of guilt towards her daughter in her heart has long since disappeared: "Ha, what a joke, my family's pampered and pampered big girl with yellow flowers wants to give it to her for nothing. You, go ahead and dream, 50 taels is not negotiable."
The blood on Liu Xiaodie's face faded completely, she looked at Wang in disbelief, she didn't understand where Mother was going to bring her: "Mother, where are you putting your daughter like this! Now that my daughter's appearance is completely ruined, there is no better family willing to take me." Liu Xiaodie thought that if she didn't let her face be healed, maybe the Wang family would betroth her to those unsightly families.
If her face gets better, Mrs. Wang will continue to exchange her for silver, which is useless anyway, so she knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang and said, "It's my daughter who is unfilial." , if mother does not agree, my daughter will go to the nunnery to cut her hair and become a nun, and she will be with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life." After saying that, she kowtowed her head a few times, and then looked at Wang with tears on her face and said, ""Daughter I am not filial, and I will not be able to serve my mother often in the future. "
Liu Xiaodie's words are decisive. Once she becomes a nun in this dynasty, her parents and relatives are not allowed to come to her home to bother her. People who have become monks have left the city. Nothing more to do.
The civil official's villager also thinks that Mrs. Wang is too much. Now that her daughter's face is ruined, and there is a good young man in the village who wants to come to marry him, Mrs. Wang is still holding on to the 50 taels of dowry. This is undoubtedly deliberately exchanging her daughter for money .
So he said in a hurry that the more Mr. Wang said, the worse it sounded, and the more he said it, the more he said it. Wang could not lift his scolding face. Looking at the direction of his own house, Liu Tiezhu and his two sons did not come out. Obviously If no one is on his side, Mrs. Wang is also hesitant.
Look at Liu Xiaodie's face full of red rashes. Wang is also very scared now. If she really gives up on this marriage this time, she is afraid that her daughter's face will be difficult for her relatives in the future. Finding her There are no good people left.
Moreover, it was very rare for Qin Rui's family to be able to ask for a marriage with a normal dowry gift. Even if Wang's love was deep in his bones, he still had a little bit of his mother's conscience.
At this time Liu Luochen also walked out slowly from the crowd, stood beside the two of them, looked at Wang indifferently and said: "My mother separated me from the family because of my serious illness. I thought my mother was not good to my own son. It seems that my little sister What happened to me now, I understand a little bit. I am afraid that these children of my father are nothing more than tools to exchange benefits for you and earn money in the eyes of my mother. I dare to ask my mother if she is a little bit fond of her, but if she has a little bit of consideration for her little sister. No one in the village knows what kind of character Zhang Fugui is, but the mother is willing to push the little girl into the fire pit for 50 taels of silver."
Liu Luochen looked at the Wang family with an ugly face again: "I also hope that my mother will do good for the other two younger brothers in the family, so don't really damage the family's sinful virtue."
At this time, Liu Zhiyuan also took the opportunity to come over to dissuade him. After all, the sisters and mother in the family had a falling out because of their relationship, and he had no honor with him.
As a scholar, he cherishes feathers very much, so he stepped forward with a humble face, held his mother considerately, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, I don't know if my younger sister's face will be better now, and the Qin family is also considered to be good." It is a good family with its own duties, and there are few people in the family. My younger sister must have a good life after she gets married. When my younger sister is happy, she will also think of your kindness. I don’t want to be more filial to you in the future.”
For this youngest son, Wang must be obedient.
She was a little hesitant in her heart, but after hearing what her youngest son said, she felt that what he said was very reasonable.
But she still looked at Liu Luochen bitterly, rolled her eyes, dismissed what he just said, and was very angry in her heart.
Mrs. Wang glared at Liu Luochen and said, "What does my family's affairs have to do with you? Since our two families have broken off their relationship, you should take care of my family's affairs from now on."
After all, Wang still couldn't let go, looked at Qin Rui and Liu Xiaodie expressionlessly, and said to Qin Rui with a benevolent attitude: "I see that you are sincere, and you are my Xiaodie's lifesaver. Then I will give you a chance, let your mother bring a matchmaker to the door someday, and let's discuss the marriage. Let me tell you, even if it's not 50 taels, the dowry is indispensable."
After finishing speaking, he dragged his youngest son back and walked home without even looking at Liu Xiaodie.
After finally passing a big hurdle, Liu Xiaodie also relaxed a lot, and smiled at Qin Rui.
Liu Xiaodie walked up to Liu Luochen and said, "Thank you brother."
Liu Luochen smiled, and intentionally licked her ankle, then looked at Qin Rui jokingly, and said, "This will be my brother-in-law-to-be in the future, you are fine, but the most urgent thing now is to find a doctor to see Take a look at my sister's ankle, it's better not to have any sequelae."
Hearing what Liu Luochen said, Qin Rui finally realized it, quickly patted his head, and ran to the old man's house with Liu Xiaodie on his back, feeling very anxious.
Liu Luochen looked at the backs of the two leaving, smiled, shook his head, grabbed his own Nan Nian's wrist and walked home.
Nan Nian had been silently around Nian Liu Luochen just now and didn't say much, but he could naturally understand the sarcasm in Wang's words just now.
But he was clumsy and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only squeeze Liu Luochen's hand tightly, trying to give him some warmth and comfort.
Liu Luochen smiled, "Don't worry, that woman, I don't care what she says."
Fearing that Ye Chang would have more dreams, Qin's mother brought the disciples to the door the next day. Although Qin's mother was more cheerful, she was also very scheming.
She took the meaning of the matchmaker's discussion with the Wang family, and finally decided to marry Liu Xiaodie with a dowry of twelve taels and dowry.
Moreover, I found someone to calculate the auspicious days of the zodiac, and chose to get married at the beginning of spring. After calculating the time, there were still more than two months of preparation time.
Now these things are making a big fuss, almost everyone in the village knows that Liu Xiaodie and Qin Rui went up the mountain together, and they were recited, and they had the grace to save their lives. He has no intention of marrying Liu Xiaodie anymore.
Wang wanted to find another family, but he couldn't find it now, so he could only reluctantly agree.
She herself looked at Liu Xiaodie's face full of rashes all day long, and she was also very worried. If this continued, her daughter's face would become more and more serious, and she was afraid that she would have to eat rice at home again.
So he nodded his head in agreement, and after the marriage letter was set up with Geng Tie, the marriage between the two of them was settled.
The marriage of the couple was a long-awaited one.
After Liu Xiaodie's foot recovered, the two came to Liu Luochen's house specially to thank Liu Luochen for his good plan.
But Liu Xiaodie is a woman who has not left the court, so she can only sit at her brother's house at noon, there is absolutely no reason to eat out and stay overnight, chat with Liu Luochen, leave gifts, and then leave with Qin Rui .
In a blink of an eye, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is one of the few days when there is no curfew in towns.
And it is said that on this day, there will be a lot of lanterns on the street, and there will be entertainment activities such as juggling and guessing lantern riddles. It is also a day when unmarried men and women nearby can meet to watch lanterns and have a blind date, so the town is also very lively.
Liu Luochen has been in ancient times for a while, and he is particularly curious about such a large-scale cultural and sports event.
So after eating at noon, I armed myself and Nan Nian, and went out like cotton balls.
The two of them rode the bullock cart to the village and came to the town unsteadily, it was already getting dark.
Exquisite lanterns are placed outside, and the colorful lights are really beautiful.
There are also many small vendors on both sides of the street, some selling food and jewelry, and of course some selling small objects. The crowd is clamoring and it is very lively.
Coming to ancient times, Liu Luochen, who had never participated in this excitement, looked around with his eyes wide open, fearing that he would miss something.
He bouncing back and forth on both sides of the street, would buy some delicious and interesting things he saw, and stuff them into Nan Nian's hands.
Seeing the bright red candied haws, Liu Luochen stepped forward and bought two for Nanmian and read one: "Eat, candied haws, it's delicious."
Nan Nian obediently took it, took a bite, and cracked her mouth sourly: "Well, it's so sour."
Liu Luochen: "Hahaha, it's sour."
Liu Luochen looked at the candied haws in his hand, and saw that the bright red fruit was coated with thick syrup, and he squinted his eyes when he took a bite, so sweet and sour.
The two ate while walking, looking at the lanterns along the way, even Liu Luochen was eager to try to solve two lantern riddles in the sky, in exchange for a small lantern the size of a palm, he was very happy.
Otherwise, after a while, many teams of dragon and lion dancers rushed out of the street corners, and the sound of clanging drums was very lively.
But the crowded crowd dispersed Liu Luochen and Nan Nian at once, and when Liu Luochen turned his head again, Nan Nian was nowhere to be seen.
