Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 55

When we returned to the town, it was already afternoon. Uncle Ding had received a letter from Second Master Ding a few days earlier, and the family had asked Mrs. Zhang and Tao Zi to help clean up the house early in the morning.

When Erye Ding and his party arrived home, they saw that the house was neatly tidied up. The quilts were all unthreaded, starched, washed, dried, and then resewn. They were neatly laid out on the bed. Looking at the eldest nephew who was busy helping to move things into the house, he said with a smile: "Ada and Xianglan's wedding will only last a few days, right?"

"Auntie, yes, I'm afraid you won't come back. I received a letter from my uncle a few days ago, and my father and I felt at ease. There are only ten days left, and I need my uncle's help!" Ding Da moved. He said with a smile while holding the box.What Father meant was to marry Xianglan into the family at the end of the year, and celebrate a reunion year, and the Feng family did not object, so the wedding date was set on December 26.

Zhang Mu heard it in the room, and was very happy when he thought of the girl with the round face. She and Xianglan got along very well, and when Xianglan married, she would have another companion.Feeling something on her feet, looking down, the beauty is biting the crested head of her embroidered shoes.Zhang Mu rubbed the beauty with the toe of his shoe helplessly. The beauty raised her kitten's head and looked at the owner in a daze. Zhang Mu waved, and saw the beauty bent her hind legs and jumped onto her lap. Stretching its front paws forward, it lay on her lap and dozed off.

Zhang Mu looked at the beauty with a face of enjoyment, and the thought that had been suppressed thousands of times by her came out again involuntarily.

On the eighteenth day, Wu Ling went to the street early in the morning to buy four kinds of pastries, and then went to Ding Da's to buy two catties of pork belly, and accompanied Zhang Mu back to her mother's house.

Xiao Shui hadn't seen her aunt for a long time. When she saw her, she rushed over and hugged her leg, and hummed softly, "Auntie, I miss you so much!"

Zhang Mu looked at Xiaoshui's little paws, which were similar to those of a beauty, tightly grasping his skirt. His little face was full of attachment and joy, and his heart was warm. He squatted down, hugged Xiaoshui and kissed him, "Auntie I miss you too! Did you learn how to read well?"

"Yes, I have memorized everything you taught me, and I can still write!" Xiao Shui raised his head and proudly puffed out his small chest. Ah, praise me!" demo.

As soon as the beauty saw Xiao Shui, she jumped off Wu Ling, ran over in two or three steps, and licked Xiao Shui's little hand with her tongue, making Xiao Shui laugh.

Standing by the door, Wu Ling watched his daughter-in-law hugging Xiao Shui, Xiao Shui teasing the beauty, and felt warm in his heart. In nine months, he and Amu would have a child of their own.After looking at it twice, he went to the kitchen to hang the meat on the window, put a plate of pastries on a plate, and brought it out.

Looking at the back of her son-in-law getting into the kitchen, Mrs. Zhang felt happy in her heart.When her son came back earlier, he said that his son-in-law was the lost young master of a rich family, and she was in a state of anxiety for several days. Her daughter and son-in-law lived in this small town in a wealthy and comfortable life, so she thought it was a good thing. that's it.But in that big family, there are many rules, the daughter is born as a village girl, and she is also a second-married young lady. I am afraid that she will be rejected by her husband's family. Today I saw her daughter come back with a smile on her face, and the son-in-law is the same as before. After rushing in and out, her heart finally fell back to the ground.

As soon as Xiao Shui saw the pastry, he stopped pestering his aunt, and moved towards his uncle with the beauty in his arms. The whole family couldn't help but laugh at him like that.

Zhang Mu followed Mrs. Zhang and Taozi into the west room, and as soon as he sat down, Zhang Mu took out a golden bracelet from his bag and said, "Mother, I bought you a bracelet in the county town. You can try it." !"

Mrs. Zhang only felt that her eyes were shining brightly. She had never seen such a rich gold bracelet in Shuiyang Village. The matchmaker who came to the house to say goodbye to Zhang Mu only had a gold ring, which was included in her daughter's betrothal gift There was a pair of shrimp beard bracelets, and she said with a straight face: "Silly girl, I don't know how much money I have to keep, what are you doing with such a waste! I am the one who wears such gold things!"

Having said that, Zhang Mu looked at the tears in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, and knew in his heart that she liked it, so he put the bracelet on her hand, showed it to her, and said, "Mother, who still stipulates that you should wear gold?" The owner of the bracelet must be the wife who lives in the big house, my mother has worked hard all her life, and it is the daughter's duty to honor you."

"Yeah, mother, my sister is so filial, you just keep it happily!" Tao Zi was also frightened by my sister's move. There must be more than 20 taels. What Xianggong said is probably true. Even if Wu Ling did not inherit the Wu family's property, the Zheng family would probably leak a lot to him.Right now, my sister-in-law is still thinking about honoring her mother-in-law, so her family is also ruined.

"Sister-in-law, this is for you. You may have heard what my brother told you when you go out this time, and you haven't worked hard enough to choose it carefully. Don't dislike it, sister-in-law." Taozi took out another one as if she was juggling her sister-in-law. Double Happiness for Wealth and Nobility, Jin Buyao, couldn't help but feel happy, and said with a smile: "My sister has spent money, and you are filial to your mother, so why spend money like this for us!"

"What did my sister-in-law say, not to mention that my sister-in-law has always treated me sincerely, even after I get married, my parents will also ask my sister-in-law and brother to take care of me, so I should show my heart!" Zhang Mu inserted Bu Yao into the Peach topknot.The Zhang family has always treated her sincerely, and she deserves something in return.

"Hey, Amu, let me tell you something. Wang Moli is going to marry in the town. When you got married, she asked Zhuzhu to put on makeup. I didn't expect you to come back. I asked your sister-in-law to prepare I picked up a silver hairpin, since you are back today, why don’t you go there later!” Mrs. Zhang suddenly remembered this incident, and reminded her daughter that it’s not good for her family to take advantage of the Wang family for nothing. The mother-in-law of the village head's family has a poisonous mouth, and she has been caught talking about it, but she hasn't spread it around.

Wang Moli's wedding was on December [-]th, just a few days before Ding Da. She married a widower named Bai in the town. She was ten years older than Wang Moli, and his wife and children were several years earlier. He passed away in a cold, and now he is running water transportation with the Cheng family.

Zhang Mu nodded in response, she may not have seen Zhuzhu for a long time.

The village chief’s wife always disliked her daughter, and now that her daughter is finally pregnant, Mrs. Zhang dare not let her go alone. They walked over together, took two packs out of the three packs of pastries that hadn't been opened, and asked her daughter to take them with her, and she took the remaining pack to Grandma Fang's house.

Zhang Mu and Tao Zi stood in front of the Wang family's gate, and it was Wang Moli's mother who opened the door. Seeing that it was the daughter and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, they couldn't help but rolled their eyes, and asked in a different tone: "Oh, young lady of the Ding family, Come to my Pengmen small courtyard, what is your order?"

Zhang Mu was not angry either, and said with a slight smile, "Hello, Auntie. I heard that Sister Jasmine is getting married. Come here and give her something to cheer her up. Auntie, please don't dislike her." Parents still live in the village, so they can't Offending the village chief's family, she can still bear the look.

Seeing that she was adding makeup to her daughter, the mother-in-law of the Wang family didn't feel too embarrassed. It was rare for Jasmine to remarry. She also hoped that her daughter would be like the little lady of the Zhang family in the future. conscience.

Wang Moli was braiding Zhuzhu's pigtails in the room, when she heard voices outside, she got up and opened the door.Before she and Zhang Mu married to Xishui Village, they were also very good little sisters. Later, they were tortured at her husband's house together.

"Auntie!" As soon as Zhuzhu saw Zhang Mu, she ran forward happily. Zhang Mu handed her two bags of pastries and said with a smile, "There is Zhuzhu's favorite mung bean cake!"

The woman in front of her is round and jade-like, and her original melon-seeded face has become rounded. She is wearing a jade-colored embroidered skirt with folded branches and flowers, and a hairpin with golden silk and fragrant wood inlaid with cicadas and jade beads. On the end is a young lady from a wealthy family. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Sister Mu, long time no see!"

"I heard from my mother that Sister Jasmine is getting married. I came to see you. I'm afraid we will have fewer chances to see you in the future! Here, I wish my sister and brother-in-law a happy marriage for a hundred years and everything goes well." The silver hairpin prepared by a magpie climbing plums was pinned on Jasmine's bun, but her hands trembled involuntarily. Jasmine was the same age as her, and her hair was so thin.

After all, it was not the original body, and Zhang Muye and Jasmine didn't have much to talk about the past, so after giving the hairpin, they reasoned that they had something to do at home and went back first.

Zhuzhu stood beside her mother, waving her little hand to Zhang Mu and shouted, "Auntie, I can visit you at your house in a few days!"

Zhang Mu responded with a smile, and glanced at the thin Wang Moli standing beside her. If she hadn't met Wu Ling, she would be in the same situation as Jasmine!

On December [-], Wang Moli got married.

On December 26th, Zhang Mu and Wu Ling followed Ding Erye and Ding Erniang to Shuiyang Village early in the morning, and Wu Ling was going to accompany Ding Da to greet the relatives.This is the first wedding that Zhang Mu has seen here. When she got married, she covered her head and couldn't see anything. Seeing the red silk sedan chair and the bride wearing big red flowers, she also felt something in her heart. A little joy.The town where Xianglan lives is still a little way away from Shuiyang Village, so Ding Da and his party set off carrying a sedan chair accompanied by the joy of Chuichuidada.

Ding Erniang led a group of daughter-in-laws from the village who came to help to wash and wash in the front yard, preparing for the wedding banquet. Ding Erye and Uncle Ding were also in the front to entertain the male guests who came from the town, mostly in the same vegetable market with Ding Da. For some small businesses, Ding Erniang asked Zhang Mu to prepare the red envelopes, the matchmaker, the bearer, and Xitong who was married by the woman's side for a while, and the homeless who came to sing happy songs after hearing the wind.

Zhang Mu counted the copper coins in the wedding room, and packed them one by one in small purses embroidered with words such as "Hundred Sons, Thousands of Grandchildren" and "Hundred Years of Good Harmony". !
It's Zhao Miaomiao!

Why is she here?

"My mother wants to see you. She said she poisoned you. If you still want to conceive, you'd better come with me!" Zhao Miaomiao said expressionlessly.
