Chapter 62: bridal chamber festivities

Xiao Lingchuan's cooking skills are good, but one person cooks a large table of dishes, and the two stoves in the house take turns, so that this sumptuous dinner is not eaten until late at night.

"Brother-in-law, I will go to Lushan Academy in Lucheng in a few days, and I will ask you to take care of my sister from now on."

Li Jinhu stood up and raised his glass to toast. For him, Brother Xiao was not only his brother-in-law, but also a benefactor. He was grateful and admired, and hoped that one day he could become an upright man like his brother-in-law.

Xiao Lingchuan also stood up, picked up his glass and drank it down in one gulp, he has never been good at words, he didn't know how to reply, he just nodded solemnly.

He never made a promise easily, since he promised, it means that he will be consistent from beginning to end.

Regarding the marriage, he didn't want to be so hasty, so he notified his brother early, but the plan didn't change quickly. The Geng Tie incident made the wedding ceremony a few days earlier.

He thought, it's really not easy for his wife to deal with it in the heat of filial piety, and when the filial piety is over, he is trying to make it up to her.

It was the first time in their two lives that Li Haitang was a little embarrassed as the bride. She took a big sip of plum wine to build her courage, and her cheeks were flushed.

"Little brother, I heard that Lushan Academy can bring book boys, I think it's better to buy one for you."

Li Haitang was half full after eating, and began to worry about Li Jinhu's studies again. Before entering the yamen, she had some modern ideas and advocated equality, but when she faced Fan Zhixian, she realized that her thinking was ridiculous.

If you are bound by these concepts all the time, you will kill yourself.

Lushan Academy has strict management on students, allowing them to go down the mountain once every three months. Most of the scholars these days can get by at home, otherwise pens, inks, papers and inkstones are a big expense, and ordinary people can't afford them.

Li Jinhu was alone on the mountain, Li Haitang was worried, his younger brother was still young, in case someone bullied him, there was no one to deliver the letter.

Lushan Academy does not allow maids, because they are afraid that the scholars will have bad thoughts, become obsessed with women, and stop working hard, so the young masters from rich families will probably bring a school boy.

"Sister, what kind of book boy are you bringing!"

Li Jinhu laughed out loud, and found that his sister went to the city and saw the world, and her mind was broadened a lot.

"Following you, running errands for you, shopping for things."

Li Haitang tapped his younger brother's forehead with his hand, and said angrily, "Why, you're still making fun of your sister. I've been educated anyway, and I know as much as you do."

Not only is there a lot, but the knowledge is quite extensive. Knowing about airplanes, cars, and trains, I don’t know how many years they are more advanced than the old antiques of this era. Li Haitang silently complained in his heart, but these secrets can only be rotted in his stomach.

"We empty-handed White Wolf, sold the private room that Xiao Taohong gave us, and earned a thousand taels. We also stole it from Qin Yuanwai. The latter is ill-gotten wealth, and it's best to spend it."

Li Haitang has a small account book. The savage husband is an invisible local tyrant. The basement is full of gold, silver and jewelry. It is not a problem to buy a book boy.

She has her own considerations, the younger brother will have to take the scientific examination in the future, from being a child to a scholar, progressing step by step, there must always be someone to help read the list, and someone to accompany the test, it is best to find a simple, honest, strong and able to take care of others The book boy who also serves as a servant, I will definitely treat him kindly.

"Sister, you still think about the long-term."

Li Jinhu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, before hesitating to speak, he tentatively asked, "Sister, do you need someone at home?"

Their mother, the Ruan family, was the daughter of the official family before she got married. Even if she married a villager and became a village woman in the north, her behavior was very elegant. This is why Mrs. Li didn't like the Ruan family. In front of Ruan Shi, there is always a sense of shame.

"Find someone?"

Li Haitang shook her head, she likes the world of two people, there is no restraint, and she doesn't want to have a face wandering around at home, it looks weird.

Besides, winter is coming soon, and the weather is freezing. Apart from lighting a fire and cooking, the family has nothing to do. They live in the mountains and no one will disturb them.

During the dinner, Li Haitang's siblings were happy, drinking one cup after another. Xiao Lingchuan wanted to persuade him, but then he thought, Jin Hu was going to study, and he would not see each other for a long time, so he should not disappoint.

After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, Li Jinhu was small and overwhelmed by alcohol, so Xiao Lingchuan hugged him to the bed and fell asleep soundly.

Li Haitang wanted to clean up the dishes, but felt dizzy.

As soon as Xiao Lingchuan entered the door, he saw his wife wandering around, so he hurriedly took a step forward.

"If I drink too much, I won't accept anyone, so I will support the wall!"

Li Haitang supported the wall with one hand, smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body, looked disgusted, and turned to wash in the clean room.

The water in the pool was moderately hot, and a few gorgeous dried flowers were sprinkled on it. With a cheer, Li Haitang quickly got rid of the restraints on her body and sat in the pool water.

The white mist filled the air, and the warm water was massaging her body. After a while, she regained consciousness.

Tonight is the bridal chamber festivities, the savages can't do anything, right? Li Haitang blushed and her heart beat, and realized that she didn't seem to be very repulsive, on the contrary, she had a little expectation.

After washing up, she dawdly changed into a set of soft muslin breeches, wrung out her hair, and returned to the new room.

In the room, Xiao Lingchuan tidied things up, and formally drank the wedding wine with Li Haitang, which meant that the couple would become one and never separate.

On the window sill, the red candles reflected the Goryeo paper. When the window was opened, the vast mountains in the distance were shrouded in the thick night. Li Haitang took a deep breath, what should be faced, always had to be faced.

She was very nervous, but she found a small detail, the savage husband seemed to be even worse, his body was stiff, his back was straight when he walked, and he was very rigid.

"You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the floor."

Xiao Lingchuan fulfilled his promise, took out the quilt from the cabinet, and spread a thick piece of linoleum on the floor to prevent moisture.

It's not cold yet, and when the snow falls, I will sleep on the big kang in front of the west window. As long as there is a fire in the stove, the kang will be hot all night.

"The bridal chamber is full of flowers and candles, living in separate beds, isn't it good?"

Li Haitang took a visual inspection and found that the bed was about two meters wide, enough for two people to sleep, at worst, they could just cover each other with their own quilts.

"it is good."

Xiao Lingchuan lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Haitang, fearing that he would lose control and do something like a beast.

Both of them were a little nervous, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"Husband, do you miss your parents?"

Li Haitang held Xiao Lingchuan's big hand, his hand was covered with a thick layer of calluses, but it was hot, which made people feel safe.

When she first arrived in another world, and encountered so many troubles, she really wanted to find a shoulder to lean on, so that she would not have to live bravely.

"I thought about it before, but then I don't want to."

Xiao Lingchuan has never met his parents, but the master said that there are no parents who do not love their children, so maybe his parents love him too.

"Yes, they must love you very much." Li Haitang found that he was depressing the atmosphere, and racked his brains to ease the atmosphere. They shared the same life and loved each other, and they left something beautiful and memorable.
