take a wife to support the family

Chapter 130 Sister-in-law Embroidered Dowry

Old Song's family threw a bomb in Qingliu Town: Song Xiuxiu, who was not very good-looking, had a mediocre temperament, and had an unappreciative female worker, was actually engaged to Xiao Xiucai!

You must know that the little scholar Liu Rulong is the son-in-law of many big girls in the town who are holding back their energy and want to marry. He wears a green shirt every day, with a white face and frowning brows, and walks down the street with a picky and disgusting expression. However, there is only a hint of a smile occasionally, how romantic and suave, how heart-wrenching!
What's more, he still has a great future in the future. Don't look at the fact that he hasn't been admitted to a scholar yet, but as long as he marries him, he will be a lady of a scholar, even a lady of Juren and a lady of magistrate.

So how can Song Xiuxiu, He De, be able to pick up such a sweet pastry?

Is she born extra-good-looking, or is she extra-good at embroidery?No matter how bad it is, is it like her second sister-in-law who can make money to support the family?

The hearts of the big girls who dreamed of marrying a young scholar were all broken, and they had learned from the pain, biting their handkerchiefs and thinking hard, what good would Song Xiuxiu do.

After tossing and turning, they almost found out about this person, and they didn't think of any great benefits of her. The older girls became more and more unconvinced. Seeing Song Xiuxiu taking to the streets, they wished to push her into the Baishui River.

Two days ago, old man Song brought back news from Liu's house that Song Xiuxiu came back to life immediately, stopped crying, and started working at home, urging Mrs. Niu to get up quickly to buy her a dowry, and asked Mrs. Dong to make two new clothes for her.

Xu Shiren is in good spirits on happy occasions, but Niu got a son-in-law who looked like a phoenix egg, and he felt refreshed all of a sudden, and he didn't even need to ask for a doctor, and he didn't even need to eat. up.

Mrs. Dong is not willing to make clothes for my sister-in-law. How can she afford to provoke someone who wants to be a talented lady in the future?I don't see Song Haoshi laughing at the girl all day long, asking her if she is hungry, if she eats pumpkin seeds, if she wants to buy some fresh rouge powder...

Dong Shi gritted her teeth: After all these years of marriage, why didn't she have such a smiling face to her?

People, no matter how unconvinced, you have to accept your fate. Song Xiuxiu's fate is good, and she can pick up a wealthy son-in-law for nothing if she has no outstanding features. Dong's such a wicked person can still rush to make clothes for her--do it a little slower, husband The fist as big as the vinegar bowl was about to greet the face.

While working, Mrs. Dong secretly cursed Song Xiuxiu’s marriage failure. It would be best if the matchmaker didn’t come tomorrow. Liu Rulong could marry whoever she wanted, but she couldn’t marry Song Xiuxiu anyway. She is going to be the head of a sister-in-law?

One day, the prestige of being a sister-in-law has not been shown, but she has been telling her sister-in-law to pee on her head all day... The more Dong thinks about it, the more she feels that her life is miserable.

Her curse didn't come true, the next day the Liu family's matchmaker came to the door, and formally agreed on the marriage, and the same etiquette will be followed in the future, Song Xiuxiu, a talented woman, is really a certainty, and it can't be changed.

Dong Shi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he still had a friendly face to deal with his sister-in-law who was getting more and more arrogant.

But Song Xiuxiu became more and more proud after the matchmaker came to the door. If she used to have her chin upturned, now her tail is even up to the sky. She doesn't look at people with her eyes, but with her nostrils. The shadow of others.

When older girls are engaged, they are often afraid to go out and have to stay at home to avoid shame.But Song Xiuxiu is not an ordinary person, she will be a talented woman in the future, no matter what, she will not allow herself to be ashamed now, the happier she is, the more she will go to the street to show others how proud she is now.

The people in the town were also willing to make fun of her, and when they saw her, they would bow and bow and call her a lady of talent. Song Xiuxiu was a little embarrassed at first, but after hearing it a lot, she felt that others deserved to be inferior to her, so she didn't return the courtesy, and just nodded reservedly. , the width of the nod, that is to say, is too small for people to look at.

Whenever she didn't know about it, the Liu family would say many bad things about her behind her back.The girl of Xiucai is young and doesn't know the seriousness. Someone asked her why Xiucai wanted to marry Song Xiuxiu.

When others heard that, those who had so much respect for Song Xiuxiu had to weigh it up again, and then looked at Song Xiuxiu sideways: using such a shameless way to get things done, she is still as proud as a living phoenix, and if she doesn't know, she still thinks she is a phoenix. Princess princess miles!
No matter what happens in person, behind the scenes, Song Xiuxiu is still unmarried, and her reputation has gone from bad to bad, but the Liu family asked some people to say kindly: "He is a scholar, even if he takes over his body, she is the one who takes him as a concubine." , the Liu family is serious about marrying a wife, it's really a good family."

When Song Xiuxiu saw Liu Rulong outside again, she didn't show any shyness, and walked up to talk to him openly, and tried her best to invite him to her house for dinner.

Because of Song Xiuxiu's good dowry, the little scholar reluctantly suppressed her lust and agreed to be engaged to her. She didn't want to see her face to face. home!
He hated Song Xiuxiu, so he wanted to act like a gentleman, and said sternly to her: "Although we are engaged now, we can't go beyond the etiquette before we get married. We should meet less before we get married! If you have time, do more at home Wouldn't female reds be better than those wandering the streets?"

Song Xiuxiu didn't want the chances of the two of them to meet after they got engaged to decrease instead, and immediately felt like a thunderbolt from the blue, she was terribly wronged: "In the future you will marry me and I will marry you, but now I just talk, who dares to gossip?"

The little scholar thought to himself, everyone in the town is gossiping, but you don't know it.There was still a deep expression on his face, "You should also show some airs of an official lady, lest people look down on you."

As soon as Song Xiuxiu was mentioned about becoming an official wife in the future, Song Xiuxiu's spirit lifted, and she kept nodding her head as if listening to the Buddhist language, taking the little scholar's words as an imperial decree: "You are right, I will go home and embroider the dowry, and you will also Don't worry, just wait for our day!"

The little scholar secretly said: Who is in a hurry?Your dowry comes to my house, it would be better if people don't come to my house.

But he didn't know that this idea was saving Song Xiuxiu from a catastrophe - those big girls who trusted him all hated Song Xiuxiu to death, and secretly played tricks to make Song Xiuxiu fall and break her leg, or fall into the gallows She scratched her face, and if she was more cruel, she just wanted to push her into the Baishui River so that she could become a talented lady.

Song Xiuxiu didn't go out, so these evil ideas would never hit her. Little Xiucai told her that she wanted a good wife who was proficient in knitting, so she learned embroidery at home all day long.

All the girls in the countryside have learned to mend, and Song Xiuxiu also learned to mend for a few days when she was a child, but her mother spoiled her, and she had a sister-in-law to help her around, so she is not very good at sewing.

She started to practice again for the dowry, but because her heart was not peaceful, she couldn't sit still at all. After getting two needles, she wanted to go out to show off her majesty. When she walked to the door, she remembered Liu Rulong's instructions, and then went back to embroidering.

In one day, I couldn't finish embroidering a single petal, so it wasted a lot of effort. Even Niu was dizzy with her, and said: "Don't you hurry up and do it? Get married in a few days, don't talk about it, the shoes of your parents-in-law There must be socks, and there should be one or two needles for your sister-in-law."

Song Xiuxiu herself was someone else's sister-in-law, and she never regarded her sister-in-law as a person in her eyes. When she thought of being someone else's sister-in-law, she thought of her prestige: "It doesn't matter if you are in-laws, husband-in-law, sister-in-law is nothing. Shall I sew for her?"

Dong was immersed in embroidering the dowry, and she was dizzy from the embroidery. Hearing this, she raised her head and glanced at her: That's right, what kind of sister-in-law is she?

Niu slapped Song Xiuxiu hard: "What nonsense!"

He wanted to teach Song Xiuxiu a few principles of being a daughter-in-law, but Song Xiuxiu had never seen Niu being submissive, filial, and gentle when she was a child, so she only took what she said as a joke.

At this time, Song Haojie finally came home, and when he heard that Song Xiuxiu was engaged, he took Xiao Xiucai to have a drink: "If you want to marry my sister, why don't you drink with me?"

During these days of engagement, the two adults walked diligently, but Liu Rulong never came, Niu was afraid that the little scholar would go back on his word, how could he ask Song Haojie to disturb him?
Because he found a sling of money to give to Song Haojie, he said: "Your sister needs to prepare a dowry. There is nothing good in the town. You are familiar with it in the county. Go to the county and buy some good things and come back."

Song Haojie looked at Qian's bright eyes and nodded again and again: "I know, I know."

Song Xiuxiu rushed into the house and shouted: "Mother, why did you give the money to the third brother? After his hands, can I still have my share?"

Song Haojie frowned and said: "What are you talking about, sister? Give the money to the third brother, and the third brother will take care of it and make you a beautiful dowry!"

Niu said: "If you don't give it to the third child, who else can you give it to?"

Song Haoshi is a softie who only knows how to take advantage, she can't believe Song Haonian, Song Haojie is smart and pleasing, even if he gets some benefits from the middle, it's nothing, the fat water doesn't flow to outsiders.

However, the money is the dowry money of the girl, and Niu didn't want to call Song Haojie too much, so he asked: "You are not allowed to use this money for drinking, and make a dowry for your sister. I will pay you back later." I'll give you money to spend."

Song Haojie's eyeballs rolled, and he promised very well. He visited the county these days, and casually said that this restaurant is good, and that restaurant has top-notch drinks.

Niu frowned and smiled, thinking that his youngest son has gained a lot of knowledge outside, after all, he is not the same as a country guy, and maybe he can also have great fortune.

Song Xiuxiu saw that the money had entered Song Haojie's pocket and couldn't get it out, so she stomped her feet and chased Song Haojie and said, "I must buy it!"

Song Haojie was very impatient when he came out of Niu's house, and said with a smile: "My sister can't wait to get married! Don't worry, it's all on the third brother!"

Although it was a joke, it didn't look like she was saying good things. Song Xiuxiu glared at Song Haojie several times, but the only person she didn't dare to bully at home was the third brother, so she had to go and spread fire on Mrs. Dong, and she insisted on talking about this flower It doesn't look good and needs to be embroidered again.

Dong gritted her teeth, removed the embroidery thread and re-embroidered, wishing she could beat Song Xiuxiu to pieces.
