Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 9 The little sister-in-law looks like a fairy
It was more than a month after the Song family came to make up their minds, and the weather has already entered winter.

Song Wei invited a matchmaker to accompany him, as well as two young men who were said to be his cousins.

There are quite a few girls and daughters-in-law in the village, but it's the first time Wen Wan has seen such a decent one.

The gift money alone came to Liuliu Dashun, 36 taels.

In addition, the even number of wine and tea is the best in the county, and there are countless cloths, each color is even number, and even the gentle red silk cloth for the wedding dress is also sent. Then there is the wild game that Papa Song brought in himself, pheasant, roe deer meat, boar pork... Lin Lin finally figured it out, and with the gift money, it is estimated to be seven or eighty taels.

In this kind of backcountry, ordinary people marry daughters and daughters-in-law, and the dowry is not so particular. Some only give one mu of land, and some just buy some wine and water, cut two feet of cloth, and cut a few catties of meat to honor the old father-in-law and mother-in-law. , the conditions are good, the top is 20 taels, which is the kind that counts money and gifts together.

The Song family paid attention to the separation of gift money and gifts, and they sent both combs and mirrors, which was the first in ten miles and eight towns.

There were quite a few neighbors who came to see the excitement, and everyone was so greedy, but thinking that Song Wei was a born unlucky guy, following him, if he had money, he would be afraid of losing his life, and everyone instantly regained their balance.

As a bride-to-be, Wen Wan can no longer hide in her own room to peek this time, and follow Mrs. Zhou to the main room to entertain the Song family.

The betrothal gift that Mrs. Zhou personally received was several times more than expected, and her lips almost reached the ears, and she smiled brilliantly.

Wen Wan's uncle, uncle, cousin and sister-in-law all came over, together with relatives from the clan, they sat in a room.

Wen Wan wore a newly made peach red muslin jacket, and sat next to Mrs. Zhou, with her hands on her lap, listening to them carefully. He is upright, with a straight back, and when talking to the elders, his complexion is normal, without the slightest restraint in his tone, as if he is just chatting with the people in his own house.

Such calmness, Wen Wan thinks she will not be able to achieve it in ten years of practice.

Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied with this rich son-in-law, with a smile on her face, "Sanlang, our Wanniang has been diligent since she was a child, and she can't do the work at home and in the field without her. But you know, our family Life is difficult, not as good as that of the Song family. After marrying, if Wanniang does not do well, you should tell her that she will change. Boom, if it's really a small quarrel for three days, and a big quarrel for five days, it would be too outrageous, don't you think?"

It's not that she wants to speak up for Wen Wan, it's just that she doesn't want Song Wei to regret returning the product in the future.

How many people eagerly envy the Song family's conditions, and the Zhou family is naturally jealous too. If Song Wei will always be her son-in-law, shouldn't he come over often to pay respects during the New Year and festivals in the future?

Song Wei was holding a bowl of tea, when he heard Zhou's words, he smiled faintly and remained silent.

As long as he agreed, Mrs. Zhou felt much more comfortable, got up and said, "Then you sit down, and I will cook."

Suddenly thought of something, Mrs. Zhou said again: "Wanniang, I was so busy that I forgot to pull out the radishes. Go and have a look in the field beside the small bamboo forest and bring me two back."

Aunt Wen's family said angrily: "On the day of great joy, you can let the child rest, and I will pull it out for you."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly gave her uncle a wink.

The aunt is a person who knows what to do, so she understood immediately, smiled and said, "I haven't cooked the meal yet, right? Let's go, let me help you. ——Well, Wanniang, you should get the water radish. Well, it's not a few steps."

Wen Wan nodded, got up and left the main room.

After a while, Song Wei also stood up and found an excuse to go out.

The room was full of people who had been there, knowing that the two sisters-in-law were deliberately making space for the young couple to get along with each other, so they naturally didn't want to interfere, so they pretended not to know and continued chatting over tea.

Wen Wan carried the vegetable basket and didn't go far, when she found someone following her, she turned her head and saw it was Song Wei.

She knew in the main room before that her stepmother intended to let herself and Song Wei talk alone, and she was already mentally prepared.

"Is it cold?" Song Wei stepped forward and glanced at the clothes on Wen Wan's body. They should have been made by her stepmother in order to cope with the rush to cut fabrics today. New is new, but it is still a little thin, so she just wrapped it in The little girl made her look even thinner.

Wen Wan shook her head.

Although the stepmother is not kind, she is not black-hearted. These years, she has not been mean to her, but she just made her do more work. If it weren't for Mrs. Wu's instigation a few days ago, the stepmother wouldn't be willing to sell her she.

Wen Wan's winter clothes are this thick every year, and she really feels quite warm in today's clothes.

"this is for you."

Song Wei spread out his hand, and there was a small round box in his palm, which he bought specially when he sent the manuscript to the county.

Seeing that the box was exquisite, Wen Wan was afraid that it would not be cheap, so she stood still.

Seeing that Wen Wan didn't respond, Song Wei took her hand directly, put the small box in her palm, and said gently, "This is antifreeze cream. If it's cold today, remember to put some on your hands sooner or later."

At that time in the county town, his cousin also said that girls love rouge, gouache, facial beads, etc., and asked him to buy that, but Song Wei didn't buy it. He chose a box of the most expensive antifreeze cream. The antifreeze balm came really well.

Wen Wan grasped the small box with the peony picture on it, it seemed that there was still warmth from Song Wei's palm on it.

While her face was hot, she couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing. How did Song Wei, an old man, think of buying this? In winter, her hands are prone to frostbite when she touches cold water. She is just about to buy it. Now If he sent it, she could save a few more copper coins.

The little girl was born soft and tender, beautiful and juicy, with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes curved, like the new moon in the sky.

Seeing this, Song Wei's deep eyes softened a bit.

……

The wedding is scheduled for next spring.

After lunch at Wen's house, the group who came to the ceremony turned back.

On the way, the second cousin Xie Tao said: "This little sister-in-law looks thin and small, can she be 15 years old? She can't speak yet, and the third cousin may be tired in the future!"

He didn't dare to ask, did he plan to marry back and raise her as a daughter?
The eldest cousin Xie Zheng glanced at him, "Third cousins ​​are all happy, why are you so anxious about that?"

After finishing speaking, he took a look at Song Wei.

Song Wei was noncommittal to what the two said, and couldn't see anything on his face. The two couldn't make up their minds, so they could only shut up.

These three cousins ​​used to go to school together and studied in the school in the town. Later, Song Wei left the school because of the death of Song Dalang and his wife. Xie Tao felt that studying was boring, so he packed up his things and went home to dig the earth. Only Xie Zheng was left. He passed the college examination as a scholar, but this year he failed in the township examination, and plans to make persistent efforts in three years.

After all, the brothers of the Xie family know Song Wei best. This person has a dull personality. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he does things steadily. If it weren't for bad luck, he might have been admitted to the capital to be a government official by now. .

Ordinarily, such a person should have a vicious eye for picking a daughter-in-law. Who would want to choose this little sister-in-law today.

The little sister-in-law looks like a fairy, but unfortunately she can't speak, how will she live in the future?
