Chapter 5 The marriage is finalized (please collect and read)

“In the fifteenth year of Qing’an, Qingfeng Prefecture was overturned, and there were countless people selling their sons and daughters in Qingmu County.”

“Six years ago, the Li family gave me a bite to eat and kept me alive. I have always been thinking about this kindness.”

Wei Tu looked surprised when he heard this, and his head was lower than before he came in. He thought about it for a moment and said this.

What he said is also true.

During the famine, Li Zhai gave him a bite to eat as a favor to him.

The grace of survival!

Compared with surviving, becoming a slave is secondary.

Canglin knows etiquette in a down-to-earth manner.

Having enough food and clothing knows honor and disgrace.

Selling one's life to a wealthy family is not a humiliating thing for country people.

Hearing this, Li Tongshi nodded, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Although Wei Tu didn't say any broad words about loyalty to the Li family, she could still hear the gratitude in his words.

And this is enough.

“Xinghua entered the Li family two years earlier than you, and is three years older than you. I watched her grow up..."

As Chunlan said, Li Tongshi started talking about the marriage between Wei Tu and Xinghua.

“As the saying goes, a freshman girl holds a golden rooster; a sophomore girl holds a golden slam; a junior girl holds a gold brick.”

“Xinghua’s parents died young, and I am considered half of Xinghua’s natal family, so I approved your marriage to her…”

Li Tongshi said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, the faces of several maids standing behind Li Tong were filled with smiles, and they stretched out their hands to ask for wedding money from Wei Tu.

“Caixia, go to my room, take out the red silk from under the dowry, and send it to Xinghua’s room as a gift to me as the head of the family.”

“Also, clean up a room and use it as the wedding room for Wei Tu and Xinghua.”

“Yes, grandma.” Chunlan bowed slightly and left the living room.

…

The next day.

There is a main room in the outer courtyard of Li's house.

Wei Tu, who was slightly drunk, stood under the eaves of the corridor, rubbing his brows to wake himself up.

Continue.

He glanced at the red silk flowers nailed to the door edge, straightened up, and pushed open the unlatched wooden door in front of him.

With a crunching sound.

When Wei Tu entered the room, he immediately noticed the bride half-sitting beside the couch.

Through the half-covered red hijab, Wei Tu felt that Xinghua’s appearance was more refined than usual, from ordinary to beautiful.

Wei Tu turned his head and looked at other parts of the main room. The new house had become much tidier than the dilapidated state he remembered.

Tic-tac-toe window.

Newly pasted window paper.

A wooden case supported by two long benches, with a small bronze mirror and a woman's sewing box placed on it.

At the corner of the main room, there are two more solid wood boxes.

The paint on the box has peeled off less than half.

Wei Tu guessed that the solid wood box should contain bedding and clothes.

"Brother Wei..." Xinghua couldn't help but feel a little proud when she saw Wei Tu standing in the new house. She had cleaned and re-decorated this house.

She called out to Wei Tu, but when she saw that Wei Tu didn't come back to his senses, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak a second time.

She complained secretly that Wei Tu always "teased" her so much, but when it came time to actually get married, he was so abiding by etiquette.

…

No words all night.

The morning light shines into the main room through the window paper, and Wei Tu is lying on the bed with Xinghua in his arms.

Logically speaking, as the newlyweds had just gotten married yesterday, they could suspend their errands at Li's house for a day and sleep until dawn.

But Wei Tu and Xinghua have long been accustomed to getting up early, and even if they are lazy at this moment, it is difficult to fall asleep.

"Brother Wei, in a few days, we will ask grandma for a few days' leave and go back to your house. If we get married, we should also notify our father..." Xinghua said in a low voice.

Having sold themselves into the Li family, the two of them naturally don't have to worry about the matchmaker's words or the orders of their parents when they get married. The Li family's master and eldest grandma can make this idea, and no one can find fault.

But no matter what, we still have to inform Wei Bao about the good news.

“Yeah.” Wei Tu nodded.

His hometown is some distance away from the county seat of Qingmu County, and it takes a day or two to walk. This is why he did not notify Wei Bao in advance.

In addition to distance, there was another reason why he did not inform Wei Bao about the marriage.

That is, the marriage was hosted by Li Zhai, and Wei Bao was an outsider, so it would not be good for him to come to Li Zhai.

Li Zhai couldn't spare a room for Wei Bao to stay temporarily.

“In addition to seeing dad, there is also...”

While talking, Xinghua got out of bed, took out the sewing box on the desk, and began to patiently help Wei Tu mend the old worn-out coat.

While she was busy, she chatted with Wei Tu and discussed the complicated matters after marriage.

Taking leave.

Meet relatives and friends.

Lease land to grow grain.

And a series of things.

The Li family took pity on the two servants and lent them the main room temporarily. Although the Li family did not say the date of its return, I would inevitably feel it was inappropriate to live there for a long time.

It would be better to save money to buy a house near Li's house.

Besides, it’s okay for the two of them to become slaves, but they can’t let their children follow in their footsteps and be groveling to others since childhood.

And these all cost money.

at the moment.

The way to make money is for Lao Lei Wei Tu to rent the land of Li's house and work as a stable boy and a tenant at the same time.

In this way, you can save some money every year.

"Listen to you."

Wei Tu nodded and agreed with Xinghua, the bride’s plan for their family.

"In this way, after five or six years, it will not be difficult to buy a house..."

“When you have a child, let him go to a private school to study. Once he’s done studying, provide him with a chance to take the exams for merit and fame. Generally, let him become a bookkeeper…”

Xinghua smiled.

Having a generous master and a down-to-earth and capable man, she felt that this life was enough.

“Studying in a private school…”

When Wei Tu heard these four words, he was silent for a moment, picked up the tobacco stick at his waist, lit it, and took a few puffs.

read,

change destiny!

This is the memory engraved in his bones.

With the health-preserving skills and the fate of "late bloomer", although Wei Tu is not sure that he will definitely embark on the path of immortality, become an immortal and become an ancestor, and live happily, Wei Tu is convinced that his generation will definitely be able to stand out.

“Continue to practice health-preserving skills.”

Wei Tu no longer wasted time in bed. After quickly getting dressed, he raised his hands to practice the "Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong".

again and again.

After marriage.

He seemed to be more motivated.

Xinghua on the side was surprised when she saw this scene, but she didn’t ask any more questions.

The martial arts in Qingfeng Prefecture is not weak. Because of their poor families, many men from farmers become bandits on horseback and work for the people on horseback, working as swordsmen to support themselves.

It is not an anecdote that her man knows a few tricks.

Xinghua looked away and continued the sewing in front of her, but after thinking about it for a moment, she started to change Wei Tu's clothes to make them looser.

Thanks to the three-legged cat who loves learning for the reward of 1,500 starting coins, Kong Gao for the reward of 500 starting coins, and book friend 20220317121509785 for the reward of 100 starting coins.

I wanted to write this book in a warm and heart-warming way, a story about someone from the bottom to the world of immortality step by step. I hope everyone will like it.
