Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 36

There was no one in the family, and with his delicate and soft little daughter-in-law under him, Xue Shu began to stir again.

This time Ye Ya won't spoil him anymore, her small hand twisted a big bend on his waist: "Get up quickly! Hurry up and take the thatch on the Westing Kang outside!"

Xue Shu gritted his teeth in pain, but still refused to get up, "Why did you carry him outside?"

Ye Ya didn't let go at all, and stared at him bitterly: "If we don't carry him outside, how can we move back to live at night?"

Xue Shu was honest this time, obediently got up and sat cross-legged, rubbing his waist and looking at her foolishly: "Move in at night? But brother said that the roof will be repaired tomorrow."

Ye Ya was lying on her side, her face was a little red, "That's okay, anyway, it's hot now, let's make do for the night first."

It's nothing without a roof, and it's hard to be tossed about by him at night. She doesn't believe that if she doesn't let him do it, he will sleep in peace. If you dare to speak out, let him succeed in vain.It was a fluke this morning that the eldest brother and the others didn't find out, what about tomorrow?Probably not so lucky.No, I have to move back tonight!
It happened that Xue Shu also wished that he could sleep alone with his wife, so when he heard this, he jumped off the kang happily and went to work in the west room.

As soon as he left, Ye Ya hurriedly hid in the bed and quickly changed her clothes. After changing, she breathed a long sigh of relief and got ready to fold the quilt.I didn't want to support half of my body, but my waist felt like it was broken, and the pain was unbearable.She scolded Xue Shu a hundred times in her heart, gritted her teeth and stood up.The eldest brother went to the town to deliver wolf meat, and he probably should be back by now, so she has to wash up and cook quickly.

It has to be said that she got up in time, just after washing her face, Xue Song turned around pushing a cart of tied thatch.

Surprised, Ye Ya forgot to worry about last night, and trotted to open the door for him, "Brother, where did this cart come from?" Xue Shu said that they got up before dawn, Xue Song would definitely not knock on it at that time. Borrow something from someone else's door?

Xue Song glanced at her calmly as usual, walked in and said: "I bought it in the town. Brother and sister, I discussed it with my third brother. The thatched house is not strong. I plan to build another foundation next to it and build three bungalows. When the time comes to go to the mountains to chop wood or something, it’s better to have a cart at home.” Putting the flat cart away, he took out a roughly treated wolf fur from a pile of thatch, and took out a money bag and handed it to her: "This is wolf meat money, you can put it away."

After Xue Song made money, he always handed it over to her. Ye Ya habitually reached out to pick it up. Her fair and delicate hands were stained with a soft light by the sunlight, making them slender and beautiful.

Xue Song's chest heaved uncontrollably, he hurriedly put the purse in her hand, turned around and strode in, "I'm going to tidy up the West House with my second brother." A small pile of wet thatch had already been piled up in the yard. , obviously the second brother is busy.

His expression and attitude were the same as usual, Ye Ya was completely relieved, and followed him in with a considerable money bag.

The family has a lot of spare money and is going to build a new house. The days are getting better and better. She is really happy.

in town.

After school was over, Xue Bo deliberately took a step late and asked Mr. Zhao two things that he didn't understand. Therefore, when he left, the quiet door of the study hall had already become quiet, and the students had all gone home early.

He closed the door with his backhand, turned around when he didn't want to, and saw two young women walking out from behind the old locust tree opposite, one of them had handsome eyebrows, red lips and peach cheeks, and if it wasn't for a light blue dress that couldn't conceal her slender figure, she was so beautiful. Mo Bian, especially with the petite maidservant with double buns next to her, it seemed that she was taller than ordinary girls.

Because there was no one else around, it was impossible for Xue Bo to not notice them, but the two of them appeared after he came out, so he couldn't let him not think about it.After thinking about it, I remembered the strange woman in men's clothing I met that day, isn't it this person?

Just as he was thinking about it, the round-faced little maid waved at him, "You are Mr. Xue who sets up a stall in front of the cloth shop at the end of every month to write letters for others, right? If yes, my lady would like to ask you to write a letter from the family."

She really couldn't understand why Miss went to such trouble, just listen to the master's words, and let him come forward to persuade this poor scholar?Miss has a beauty that everyone envies, and a rich family fortune, so are you afraid that he won't be tempted?All you need to do is bear a slightly unsightly reputation as a married woman, and you can get a beautiful woman in your arms and wealth at your fingertips. Even a fool knows how to choose!

Hearing the servant girl's words, Yang Xinlan immediately glared at her, she was so stupid, asking her to call someone over, what is her attitude?

Afraid that Xue Bo would be displeased by this, she hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed her knees and blessed her, "Master Xue, I heard that your handwriting is handsome and elegant. A letter, I wonder if it's convenient for you now?"

Her words and deeds are elegant and graceful, with the grace of a woman, and she is not like ordinary boudoir girls who blush when they see outside men. In short, this is a girl who can't make people hate her even if she knows that she has other purposes.

Xue Bai pretended not to hear the disdain in the little maid's words, his eyes swept over Yang Xinlan, and then he landed on the locust tree behind her, and asked politely, "May I ask what your name is?"

Yang Xinlan showed surprise, "Mr. Xue, don't you think it's too impolite to ask such a question?" There is no one who asks a girl's boudoir's name just after meeting, he must not have a good skin of a gentleman in vain, right?

Xue Bai didn't change his face: "Don't you need to inscribe and sign the girl's family letter?"

Yang Xinlan was stunned, with a playful look in her eyes, "That's right, since that's the case, it doesn't hurt to tell you first, I am the only daughter of the Yang family in Zhennan, nicknamed Xinlan."

Zhennan Yang's family?Xue Bai hadn't heard of it, but he didn't care, and nodded: "Mu Xinxin is proud of it, and it's a good name with the word blue."

Yang Xinlan instinctively explained: "It's not that Xin, it's the one with 'the dew on the fragrant cypress, the pearl in the bright water'..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, looking at Xue Bai with some understanding, her black eyebrows slightly raised .

Xue Bo glanced at her lightly, with a distant expression on his face: "Since the girl can recite the poems of Jia Xiu, a painter monk, she usually reads a lot of poems and prose, so it's impossible for her to be able to read and write? I don't know if you can find me." What's the matter?"

Those who really need his help writing letters are all illiterate old people and poor people. The woman in front of him has an extraordinary bearing. He doesn’t believe that she can’t write. A literate person?
Thinking about it now, she probably planned to bump into him that day disguised as a man.It's really strange, he is just a poor scholar, why bother her who he has never met so much trouble?Aren't those young ladies supposed to stay out of the door and not step forward?How could she show her face so easily?
Hearing that he hit the nail on the head, Yang Xinlan was speechless for a moment, she didn't expect to reveal her secrets so soon, this was a way she had painstakingly come up with to get along with him.The first encounter was to give him an impression. This time, I wanted to tell him my identity by writing a letter. In the future, my grandfather would ask him to discuss getting married, so that he could know what she was like.She is confident in her appearance, so she can always make him feel a little bit excited, right?
But now, his expression was indifferent, there was no surprise in his eyes, only suspicion of her, but she couldn't explain it at all.

Say you want to marry him?Don't even think about it.

She grabbed the maid who was about to answer without authorization in time, and smiled heartily at him, "It's nothing, I just heard that you are knowledgeable, and I just want to get to know you." If you show your kindness to him, he won't be too cold, right?
Xue Bai did not treat her too coldly, he just looked at her strangely, then turned and left.

When his thin back disappeared around the corner, the little maid finally complained dissatisfiedly: "Miss, look at him, you have said that, what is his attitude! He is cold, as if we are looking for him to collect debts!"

Yang Xinlan concealed the faint disappointment in her heart, and poked her head angrily: "Try talking more, I'm so used to you being lawless, dare to arrange anything, and let me hear you being rude to him later, Be careful, I will hand over all the washing clothes this year to you!"

The little maid stuck out her tongue, shook her arm fawningly, closed her mouth tightly and stopped talking.

Yang Xinlan sighed helplessly and led her home.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Master Yang and Mrs. Yang sitting at the corner of the wall covered with green vines and playing chess, wanton and peaceful.

Yang Xinlan sent the little girl away, walked over briskly, and sat down next to Mrs. Yang, quietly watching them play chess, she was quite focused at first, but slowly, her eyes drifted away, as if she had something on her mind .

Master Yang and his old wife looked at each other, discarded the chess pieces at the same time, and asked her with a smile: "How, did you see him today? Did you gain anything?"

This is the only child in the family, let's raise her as a girl, for fear that she will be coaxed and bullied by her grandson-in-law in the future, but if she is blindly raised as a man, she is also afraid that she will be too irritable and prone to disputes with her grandson-in-law, and will force others to go outside to find flowers and ask willows After all, how many men don't like tenderness and carelessness?

It's all right now, the old couple's hard work has finally paid off. The granddaughter can not only write poems and paintings, but also know how to manage the land with mental calculations.Just take the matter of recruiting a son-in-law as an example. In the past, she disliked those mediocre ones. This time, she finally met someone who was suitable in all aspects. She had to try it herself first. Find Xue Bai in advance.

In front of her close relatives, Yang Xinlan didn't hide her disappointment, and said flatly: "I see, but he doesn't care about me, no, he doesn't care about me at all. As soon as I said I wanted to know him, he turned around and left." No, I won't spare any sympathy."

Master Yang stroked his beard and smiled: "This is a good thing, it means that he is not close to women. Think about it, if you get married in the future, and he meets a beautiful woman on the street and strikes up a conversation, do you want him to turn around and leave, or I hope he will take good care of each other, and even eat and drink with him to relieve boredom?"

"Come on, you're not serious!" Mrs. Yang glared at him, but she also expressed the same meaning.Men who are indifferent and indifferent are better than those who like to be sympathetic and sympathetic to women. Those who are unable to walk when they see a beautiful woman, hmph, their character is not much better!
What they said was reasonable, and Yang Xinlan felt better, but she still couldn't bear the face: "Then I'm different, I, I..."

Seeing her little blushing appearance, Mrs. Yang smiled sincerely, took her granddaughter's hand and sighed: "Oh, our Xinlan finally met someone who can make her fall in love. Silly girl, you think you are different, But in his eyes, you are just a bold girl who pops up out of nowhere to strike up a conversation, of course he will avoid you! Don't worry, when he gets to know you later and knows your temperament, he will treat you like a different person. Like a human being, he loves to listen to everything you say!"

Yang Xinlan curled her lips, got up and walked inside, walked a few steps, then turned her head and hummed: "Grandfather, if you want to find him, go find him, anyway, I'm too lazy to see him again, stupid, it's meaningless at all. "After finishing speaking, he walked away quickly without looking back.

Master Yang shook his head and laughed: "Look, I have to obey her orders to act!"

Mrs. Yang glanced at him, "Stop talking nonsense, when do you plan to go?"

Master Yang just smiled and said nothing.
