Since they recognized each other, there was no reason to entertain guests outside the door, so they welcomed Zhou Shaoyu and the three of them into the house, well, in fact, they were in the small courtyard, and they continued to eat breakfast leisurely, but there was one more Dong Xiaowan, and there were a few more dishes.

A few pickled side dishes, and a stack of halva.

Zhou Shaoyu personally thinks that among Qin Huai's Bayan, the most suitable person to be a good wife and mother is none other than Dong Xiaowan.

Without her, she is ingenious, careful and virtuous.

Dong Xiaowan's pickled vegetable skills are a must, and he is extremely good at cooking, all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and even created his own dishes such as tiger skin meat in Jiangsu cuisine, which is called Dong meat, but it is little known. In addition, any pastries and snacks are not a problem, such as the halva at the moment, which is also called Dong sugar in later generations.

Filled with fragrant Dong candy, rolled crisp Dong candy or something, it was all Dong Xiaowan's handwriting.

The above is in terms of cooking skills, marrying her is equivalent to having a good mouth. Just kidding, do you think the names of the top ten famous chefs in ancient times were a joke?

In other aspects, the Dong family is an embroidery village with a history of hundreds of years, and Dong Xiaowan is also very good at Suzhou embroidery, and the things embroidered can be described as beautiful. Even this will be a garment making or something, not to mention it.

Not only that, but people's singing is also a must, with the great name of a needle divine comedy, it's okay to let people sing small songs to relieve boredom, proper!

And then, it is the most exciting point for men, virtuous!

Dong Xiaowan finally married Mao Bijiang, although Dong Xiaowan was born in a good family, but finally entered the Qinglou and became a lowly member, but Dong Xiaowan made friends carefully, so that the Mao family had a good impression of him, including Mao Bijiang's wife and mother.

Don't forget how Dong Xiaowan died, just because she took care of Mao Bijiang!

How else to say that he is useless as a scholar, except for reading, he is going around a lot of romance, how good can such a body be. In the midst of war and turmoil, life was difficult, and he took the risk of getting sick decisively, and he couldn't afford to make a trip.

And what about Dong Xiaowan? It is not an exaggeration to take care of the body with feces and urine, and even a straw mat is placed directly next to the bed, so that it is convenient to take care of it at any time.

Mao Bijiang was sick three times, Dong Xiaowan took care of him for a year, and then, his body was extremely weak, and at the good age of twenty-eight, he finally died......

Well, by the way, the wife of Mao Bijiang is named Su Yuanfang.

Yuan Fang, what do you think?

Anyway, Zhou Shaoyu felt that he could marry Dong Xiaowan in the ancestral tomb, even if this was the fourth son of the late Ming Dynasty.

got married in the first year, and in the second year, they talked about the Qinhuai Song Ji Wang Festival, and at the same time they got the famous prostitute Li Xiangzhen, that is, Li Shi Niang. And further on, he teased Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan.

Tsk tsk, people and gods are angry!

Let go of those girls! Let me!

Hey? No, calculate the time, consider the record, the current Dong Xiaowan seems to have been teased by the frontier! How can it be done, it must be brought back!

However, what Zhou Shaoyu didn't know was that what he did before had a great impact on Liu Ruyi, and as a good girlfriend, Liu Ru said this, and even Dong Xiaowan was shaken.

First, he went home after ventilating and went home without any news. Second, even Qian Qianyi, one of the leaders of Shilin, is a person like that, so what about risking Xinjiang?

Eating breakfast and not interacting much, Dong Xiaowan didn't have so many ideas, but Zhou Shaoyu, the initiator, suddenly came out and had to make Dong Xiaowan think of some mess, and then involuntarily peeked at Zhou Shaoyu from time to time.

"Why do you always look at my head?" Zhou Shaoyu touched his forehead amusedly and said curiously.

At this time, it happened that Liu Ru got up and dressed up, and when she heard the words, she interjected angrily: "Because I doubt whether you are a Tartar or not." ”

"Ha, what, real hair, not fake!" Zhou Shaoyu shook his head amusedly, although he had cut it once before because of the play, but now it has long since regrown, and he has crossed it twice, maybe the length breakpoint, but it is not fake.

"Come on, come on, eat together, Xiaowan is a good craft, whoever marries is simply a blessing for eight lifetimes." Zhou Shaoyu moved his body and took out a small bench and put it on the side, and praised Dong Xiaowan by the way.

It's not, there are so many advantages, and the person is also first-class and beautiful.

In this regard, Dong Xiaowan only smiled lightly and did not speak.

Liu Ru is also not polite, and sat down directly with every sentence of thanks, although he is not very familiar with it, but Liu Ru can also see that he really can't treat Zhou Shaoyu with common sense, because his temperament is obviously different from those scholars and scholars nowadays.

"Why are you here?" Liu Ru picked up a piece of halva and asked directly.

Zhou Shaoyu said as a matter of course: "I'm not familiar with Suzhou, why don't I come here to find you?" ”

"Go find the woman who is destined to follow you for the rest of your life." Liu Ru said expressionlessly. Seeing that Dong Xiaowan was a little curious, he leaned over and whispered. Dong Xiaowan was also slightly stunned, because she and Chen Yuanyuan knew each other, and the relationship was not bad.

"Uh...... Mischievous! "Zhou Shaoyu sweated a little, to be honest, the last one yesterday was quite stupid." Ahem, well, of course I'm looking for you, don't you have any questions? ”

Zhou Shaoyu's meaning refers to Liu Ru's confusion or other thoughts after the three views were impacted. In fact, Liu Ru is indeed quite confused, if these people are unreliable, then what else can Daming rely on?

From the perspective of Zhou Shaoyu's future, what can the Ming Dynasty rely on, this is a very sad question, don't look at all kinds of inside, go through all kinds of cool in the late Ming Dynasty, and revive the Tartar of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is far more difficult to achieve success in this period than at any other time.

First of all, natural disasters, the end of the Ming Dynasty was in the Little Cold Ice Age, and there were various other natural disasters, which was also the main reason for the continuous uprisings in various places at the end of the Ming Dynasty. There is a shortage of food in various places, and partial birth is indispensable.

Secondly, it is still infighting. Eunuch Donglin Party or something. The infighting continues. And don't look at many people who are sincerely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi was captured, Chongzhen was hanged, and many civil and military generals chose to die for the country.

However, this does not tell everything, martyrdom is one thing, but the usual performance is another. Chongzhen borrowed money from the ministers to defend against the enemy, and the result? That bit of money is a lot of meaning, and when Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing entered Beijing, how much did they loot in these people's homes?

I have to say it's a sad one.

On the other hand, the Qing Dynasty is strong. The gap is a little bigger.

Far away, in short, Zhou Shaoyu probably refers to this aspect, Liu Ruyi is indeed quite confused, however, Liu Ruyi's first question is......

"You want to marry me?"

cough cough cough cough ......

Zhou Shaoyu is so resentful, you are too sudden, but you can't find reason.

But isn't it, from other people's perspectives, the two have never known each other, but Zhou Shaoyu came up to do all kinds of things, and the three views of others are about to be ruined, and now they are so earnest, how can they explain it if they are not interested in her, otherwise it is unreasonable.

Thinking about it quickly, since they all asked so, there was no need to hide it, thinking of Liu Ru's characteristics in a certain way, he said directly: "I am willing to marry her as a wife, but it is just a courtesy." ”

That's right, Liu Ru is also a high-minded and arrogant lord, and once threatened to only be a wife, although Chen Zilong was willing to make an exception, but in the end, people didn't even dare to accept concubines, but Qian Qianyi did marry him as a wife, and this move also caused a sensation for a while.

And Zhou Shaoyu means that it is okay to marry a wife in the same way, but the position of a wife is impossible.

Zhou Shaoyu's wife, Li Qingzhao, and the other is Cai Yan, the daughter of the master Cai Yong, as for Gao Xiujun, who is advertised as a flat wife in Daliang, it is just a claim.

In other words, according to the ancient 'three wives', this has already gone to the two, and even if it is not necessary, Zhou Shaoyu does not plan to make a third one, there is no need to find something for himself.

When it came to marriage so suddenly, Dong Xiaowan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yinniang, could it be that you ......" Dong Xiaowan opened her mouth and whispered.

Yin Niang is naturally Liu Ruis, as early as when Miao Ling fell into Zhangtai, Liu Ru was renamed Liu Yin, and his real name is Yang Ai. As for the word so, in fact, it is not from Xin Qiji, I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this. It's from the Buddhist family, and I smell it.

The three Tibetan twelve scriptures, as soon as any scripture is opened, the first sentence must be like this.

And the meaning of this is, to put it simply, just like that. Maybe Liu Ru is also saying in a special way, I am like this, whether I like it or not, it doesn't matter if I don't like it, it's there anyway. As for whether there is any other Zen, who knows.

"Qinglian, don't worry." Liu Ru raised her hand, interrupted Dong Xiaowan's words, turned her head, looked at Zhou Shaoyu and said in surprise: "Son, isn't he afraid that his wife at home will complain?" If you accept it in this way, you will enter the door, and you must not be happy to get along. ”

didn't need Zhou Shaoyu to speak, Xiao Qiao interjected together, and said, "Sister, how can she be such a small-bellied person." ”

Liu Ru is not interested in Zhou Shaoyu's wife who has never seen anything, of course, if she knows that it is Li Qingzhao, she will probably go crazy, and if she doesn't make trouble, she will turn into a little fan.

"It's not impossible to want a slave to be the wife of the Zhou family, but since you think Shilin is unreliable, what should you do? If you can convince the slave, everything depends on the son. Liu Ru is concerned about this, now looking back, I feel that I used to live in a play, everyone was singing a big play, and the one singing was better than the other, but the play was a play after all, and it was just a play, not real.

Of course, Zhou Shaoyu will not answer such a question directly, and he will not be unable to answer, but once a clear path is pointed out, God knows what Liu Ru will do, in fact, among Qin Huai Bayan, which one is unimpartial, in case Liu Ru is going to stay and 'die', who will Zhou Shaoyu cry to.

"It's not that I won't tell you, but now that I've said it, you may not be able to understand it, if you can trust it, you can stop and stop with me, and talk about it slowly on the way." Zhou Shaoyu made a suggestion very much.

And this requirement is nothing to Liu Ru is at all. Even if you don't follow Zhou Shaoyu, Liu Ru is himself will go around, if you carefully study Liu Ru yes's life, you will find that this Nizi's connections are simply vast and scary.

Even risking the frontier to ransom Dong Xiaowana back, it was Liu Ruyi's route. Of course, at that time, Liu Ru was already married to Old Man Qian, and it was naturally Old Man Qian who came forward in the end, but even if he was not married, Liu Ru still had connections to do this.

From this point, it can be seen that the fourth son of Raushzi in the late Ming Dynasty is certainly bluffing, but in fact, his status is quite average, otherwise he would not have money and would not be able to redeem people.

"Okay, if the son is perfunctory, the younger brother will leave." Liu Ru agreed simply, this is not a matter, and by the way, he also threatened.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't care, and even turned his head, and said very familiarly: "Xiao Wan, why don't you take a walk together?" ”

Rao is Dong Xiaowan has seen a little bit of the world, but it is the first time to see such a direct invitation, if I remember correctly, this is the first time we have met, and I didn't even say a few words.

Today's Dong Xiaowan is certainly keen on enjoying the beautiful scenery, but he is always reserved, and he can't directly agree just because Liu Ru is there and is invited. That's too cheap, in this industry, even if it is high, some things have to be considered.

However, Dong Xiaowan was just about to refuse politely, but on the other side, Zhou Shaoyu grabbed his life and said, "It's not gratuitous, as for the honorarium......

Originally, after listening to this half sentence, Dong Xiaowan was going to be angry, she fell into the chapter platform, it was really a last resort, she beat Xiao Hemei's family and lived in seclusion with her mother for two years, which also created Dong Xiaowan's relatively high temperament, it is true that a woman like her who is quite famous, it will definitely cost money to go out, and the expenses will not be less, but she said it directly to her face, and even the word remuneration was bluntly said, which is a bit of a contempt for insult.

"All the foreign debts of the Dong family, as well as ...... How about all the costs of redeeming the free body? Zhou Shaoyu said with a smile: "There is no need to be suspicious, I will never coerce you into doing anything, you can follow Yinniang all the way to the left and right, and you can set up a note, stating that it is just a reward, and there is nothing else to do. Of course, if you fall in love halfway, that's another matter. ”

Okay, and this pie-in-the-sky thing?

Dong Xiaowan was the first to disbelieve it! But considering that she was also Liu Ru's friend, she subconsciously turned her eyes and saw what she said.

What can Liu Ru think, of course she doesn't agree, because she can't see through Zhou Shaoyu, and she can't guess what Zhou Shaoyu's purpose is at all. It's just himself, even if something happens, he can be regarded as asking for himself, but if he harms Dong Xiaowan, Liu Ru can't get over it.

"The concubine agreed to this for her daughter." But a beautiful woman with a bit of grace came out, but with an unhealthy pale face. Don't ask, it's naturally Dong Xiaowan's mother, Bai.
