wedding dress

Chapter 187 Adaptation
With all their thoughts in mind, the ship finally arrived in Suizhou.

It was Xiaodong's first time here, but in Qin Lie's narration, she already had a rough imagination in her heart.

The sky is blue, the water is green, and the mountains are green.

Now she really sees it, the sky is blue, the water is green, and the mountains are green and distant——

Beauty is very beautiful!

But why the hell did Qin Hao not say in advance that the mosquitoes in Suizhou are also fierce and beautiful?

Before getting off the boat, Xiaodong was bitten several times on his neck and arms, and his red and swollen bumps swelled up in no time.She is obviously wearing long-sleeved clothes, where did the mosquito get in and lay down in her mouth!

There is also the road in Suizhou, which is full of stone steps up and down, not even a flat road over ten feet, and the road is narrow, not to mention that you can't run a car, or you can't even lift a sedan chair. small slider.A chair is tied to two bamboo poles, and when a person sits on it, it will be lifted up.Is this comfortable to sit on?
Xiaodong wanted to say that she wasn't feeling well at all.

how to say?After so many years of being pampered, her ass has long been spoiled.Going out is either a car or a sedan chair—the sliding pole is hard, and sitting on it is uncomfortable, and Xiaodong always feels that he will fall.She was trembling all the way, and she didn't pay attention to whether the scenery was beautiful or not, she just felt that the road was too far away.The person who carried her was still walking like flying, and she was sweating from sitting on it.

After finally reaching the place, Qin Lie came to help her down to the ground with a smile on her face. Xiaodong felt that her legs were no longer listening to her, so she looked up - they were so big.

What a big building.

However, there is not a single brick, tile, earth and stone upstairs.In addition to wood, bamboo, and thatch.

Xiaodong stood in front of the door and blinked several times.

Qin Lie was very attentive and enthusiastic: "Come on, go in and have a look."

The group of people from the capital obviously couldn't get used to it.Take the Hu family as an example, it has been tested for a long time, not to mention that there is no sound of footsteps when walking, and the tassels on the bracelets and hairpins do not make a sound.But the floor is not bricks, but rattan boards, unless a cat passes by, there will be no sound.In addition, anyone who goes up will creak and creak, from upstairs to downstairs, from the inside to the outside.

Xiaodong thought, this is quite good, it will probably prevent theft at night.As soon as the thieves came in, they started to creak from afar, and if they fed two more dogs, the gate of this courtyard would not need to be bolted.As a result, when he entered the courtyard, he really saw two dogs, thin and short-haired, with fierce eyes, so scared that Xiaodong immediately took a big step back.

"Don't be afraid, it's tied."

Ah, after a closer look, it is indeed tied.

Xiaodong coughed, and Qin Lie led her to continue walking in: "Come on, go upstairs, slow down here."

Before going up two steps, there was a sound of "嗤啦", and Xiaodong's skirt was scratched.

Qin Lie squatted down and gathered the skirt for her, and said with a smile: "Well, you have to make two more new clothes. This dress looks good, but it doesn't fit here."

Xiaodong had already seen it on the way here, and in Pingzhou, the girls on the street were all wearing narrow skirts, some were floral trousers, and embroidered aprons, which were very neat and easy to move around.This kind of skirt is normal and decent in Beijing, but it becomes very cumbersome here.

"By the way, where is Miss Shi? Where are Yanzi and the others?" Xiaodong hasn't seen them since getting off the boat.

"Shi Xiu, I have sent her home according to the arrangement." Qin Lie helped her upstairs: "Shi Xiu's house is not far from here, and Li's house is farther away, but their family members are already waiting on the pier , I picked them up as soon as I got off the boat."

Xiaodong thought, as if she saw someone waiting there, but at that time she was busy dealing with the mosquitoes coiling around her, so she didn't pay much attention.

Although it was a headache for them at first, but after they left all at once, I still felt a little deserted.

"Zhao Zhi and I also let people settle down. There is a wooden building at the back, which is very quiet. There are guests who have lived there before, and everything is ready." Qin Lie finished in one breath, using the kind of "I can do it." Hurry up and praise me" staring at Xiaodong.Xiaodong smiled to show her appreciation, turned around and continued to climb the creaking stairs with her skirt in hand.

There was something she wasn't used to when entering the house—the house was very simple, with a bamboo door in the middle separating the outer room from the inner room.Needless to say, the low table and cushions in the outer room, there is nothing else in the inner room except for two boxes and two low cabinets.

"Where's the bed? Where do you sleep at night?"

Qin Lie scratched his ears: "I sleep on the bed at night, and roll it up during the day. Well, haven't I told you?"

Xiaodong shook his head vigorously: "I never said that!"

"Well, if you want to sleep on the bed, I'll ask someone to lift it up."

Well……

"Forget it, try sleeping underground."

It is cool in the north, so everyone sleeps on beds and kangs.Suizhou here seems to be all buildings, wooden buildings, bamboo buildings, not grounded, and the difference between the bed and the sleeping place is not too big.

"Well, I'll get someone to bring things up, so you can rest for a while."

Xiaodong was a little puzzled: "Shouldn't I go see my mother first?"

Why haven't I seen Mrs. Qin.

Qin Lie waved his hand indifferently: "Mother is not at home, she went to Poyi. It is quite close from Suizhou, and she will be back in two or three days."

"Oh……"

No wonder I didn't see her.

Xiaodong watched Qin Lie go out, a little confused.

After Qin Lie arrived in Suizhou...it seemed to be different from his stay in the capital.

When he was in the capital, he was different from others, but he was basically the same, following the rules step by step.But after arriving in Suizhou...

Hmm, I can't describe it.

It seems... a monkey that has let go of its shackles and climbed up the mountain. It is free and at ease, and it doesn't care about many things anymore.

Mrs. Hu came in holding the box, which contained some jewelry brought by Xiaodong.

Xiaodong already had a premonition that most of these things would be useless here.A decent headgear, worn at home and when going out.Xiaodong has already tried to simplify it as much as possible, and Mrs. Hu would be rude if he said that it should be simplified, and it must not be worn enough.But along the way here, the women I saw rarely had jewelry, flowers, or silverware on their heads.

This is a completely different place from the capital.

"Mom sit down and rest, let them clean up."

Mrs. Hu shook her head and said, "I have to look into it. If they miss something, I won't be able to find it when I need it." Mrs. Hu lowered her voice, "Why do you get used to living in this place? My uncle didn't fix it or change it. Change? This room is empty, and I don’t want to add anything.”

"We brought quite a few with us. If we don't have one, we don't have it. Anyway, we won't be able to stay for a few days."

Hu was still very dissatisfied.

The lunch was brought by a black and short woman, hemp rake wrapped in green leaves, something boiled like water chestnut, and some vegetables.She smiled and pointed to the dishes and said a few words, to the effect that they didn't put too much spice in them, so they could eat with confidence.

Hu asked her, "Is there no soup?"

She could understand official Chinese, but she couldn't speak, so she made a gesture, which meant that the soup was available and she wanted to serve it again.

Xiaodong somewhat understood the feeling that the fourth princess said at that time.

The hemp rake tastes good, but it is too sticky.The food is either sour or spicy.The soup was brought up, it didn't look hot, but it was covered with a layer of oil, Xiaodong drank a sip, it was so hot that he almost cried out.

In a strange place, I am not used to basic necessities of life, I don’t know the people around me, and I can’t even hear the words clearly.

It's really hard to get used to.

"Mother Hu, after dinner, let's pack up together." Xiaodong said with a smile, put the bowl of soup aside, and poured water from a pot carved with bamboo roots.This pot is so uniquely carved that Xiaodong can recognize that it is Qin Lie's handicraft.

Qin Lie didn't come back until it was dark, the empty room had changed a lot.He paused at the door, looked around, and then walked in.

Bamboo curtains were hung on the windows, and a layer of gauze was also caged.The smoker in the corner of the room spits out curling green smoke, which fills the air with a dark fragrance.The inner room was separated from the outer room by a curtain, and the lights had already been lit in the room. Xiaodong had obviously just bathed, with wet hair, and a faint sense of moisture and fragrance on his body.

"Hey, are you back?" Xiaodong poked his head and smiled at him: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Qin Lie stared at her blankly.Xiaodong's face was blushing, because the wind blew up in the evening, and she wore a light purple shawl over her white silk inner garment, which looked graceful and light, as if she was enveloped in a layer of mist.

"This is you……"

"Oh," Xiaodong walked over with a smile, barefoot, the floor of the building is covered with wooden boards, very clean, and you don't need to wear shoes and socks: "I moved the things on the boat and tidied them up briefly. Look Look, how is it?"

"It's pretty good." Qin Lie held her in his arms, and the two stood by the window and looked out together.There is still a hint of dark purple in the western sky, and the sky above has turned into a deep blue, and the stars light up one by one: "I came in a hurry, I didn't have time to clean up here, I'm afraid you won't be used to living here."

"If you can live, so can I." Xiaodong said, "I even cooked in the evening and made a cold salad. It's a pity that you didn't come back."

Hang up the window screen curtains, smoke incense again, no mosquito bites, and eat meals that I am used to.Xiaodong felt that there was no big difference between Suizhou and Beijing.

No matter where you are, don't wrong yourself.If you have the conditions, you have to live well. If you don't have the conditions, you can create the conditions yourself, but you still have to live well.

No, this place is more peaceful and quiet than the capital city.The wind blows over the top of the mountain, and Lin Tao bursts like waves.

"Hey, no..."

Xiao Dong shrank back, covered his lapel with one hand, and said in a low voice, "It sounds from here."

Yes, the floors creak when people walk around.Right now, as soon as Qin Lie showed his intention to be intimate, the floor faithfully reflected his intention, and the accompaniment sounded creaking.

Xiaodong's face was blushing: "I heard it, how embarrassing it will be tomorrow..."

There are so many people living upstairs, downstairs, inside and out, their house is creaking, what does it mean to be heard?Others don't think that they are exercising indoors if they don't sleep at night, right?
Qin Lie's shoulders trembled, he held back a smile and said, "It doesn't matter, it's like this all over here. Could it be that you're just living for fear of being heard?"

"Anyway... no." Xiaodong turned around and wrapped the thin quilt around her body: "You can either sleep obediently, or go out to sleep."
