Chapter 6 The Daughter-in-law I Picked Up By Myself, I Dote On Myself(1/2)
The autumn wind blew "whirring" all night, and when I woke up again, the sky was dim and bright.
Huang Tinghui had a pair of panda eyes and looked quite tired.
In fact, Huang Tinghui didn't sleep much that night.
"Oh, she is such a heart-wrenching little girl."
Looking at the sleeping little girl, Huang Tinghui said to himself.
I got up "swissly" and fumbled to put on some clothes.
Huang Tinghui opened the curtain and came to the kitchen.
There was still a lot of millet in yesterday's rice bag.
Huang Tinghui opened the rice bag and washed the millet.
Then add a few ladles of cold water to the iron pot, and put the washed and chopped wild vegetables into the pot.
Use a fire stick to light the hay and use the slightly damp firewood.
Just cook millet porridge.
There is nothing fishy in the millet porridge, but it exudes a strong fragrance.
In another parallel world, such a pot of millet porridge would definitely be more palatable than many meat dishes.
"Gululu..."
"Gululu..."
The sound of water being boiled came from the pot, and Huang Tinghui opened the lid.
Use a cooking spatula to stir the millet porridge in the iron pot.
Grains of millet porridge popped out, and the rich fragrance hit your nostrils.
"Oh, it smells so good!"
"What's good to eat at Brother Hui's house?" A woman's voice came from outside the door.
Huang Tinghui didn't know why.
Someone came to the door so early?
Opening the door of the thatched house, Huang Tinghui looked in the direction of the wooden fence of the thatched house.
Outside the wooden fence, there was a middle-aged woman wearing colorful clothes and flowers in her hair.
Isn't this Aunt Liu?
Only then did Huang Tinghui realize that his second uncle didn't ask Aunt Liu to act as a matchmaker for him yesterday.
Will the little girl be officially married?
Did you almost forget about this?
Huang Tinghui patted his forehead, it was really a headache!
However, facing the matchmaker introduced by his second uncle, Huang Tinghui, who had "changed his mind", naturally did not dare to neglect.
In any case, the matchmaker was introduced by Huang Tinghui's second uncle.
"Aunt Liu, please come inside, please come inside!"
Huang Tinghui made an inviting gesture and asked Aunt Liu to sit inside.
"Oh, Brother Hui is really different. It seems that your second uncle didn't trick me!"
"Where is the little girl? I'll give you a hand!"
"According to the laws of our Dasheng Dynasty, the man and woman must exchange Geng Tie and have a matchmaker as a guarantee before they can get married!"
"I have to ask Brother Hui about the situation of the little girl's family!"
"Brother Hui is a scholar, so he can't just marry a girl and go home!"
Aunt Liu said to Huang Tinghui with a smile.
Marriage has been a matter of great importance throughout the ages.
This is especially true in the Great Dynasty.
Huang Tinghui traveled to this dynasty not long ago, but his "predecessor" was at least a scholar.
So I am naturally quite familiar with the "Dasheng Laws and Regulations".
Among the laws of the Dasheng Dynasty, the marriage law clearly stipulates that if a woman reaches the age of sixteen and remains unmarried, the government will impose a fine on the woman's family.
There is no way, in this ancient era where production efficiency was not very high.
Population is productivity and a reflection of national strength.
Therefore, in every dynasty and every generation, population is almost the top priority when considering the prosperity and decline of a country.
Not to mention some wise kings who will go down in history, they are just mediocre kings.
They also attach great importance to population and marriage issues.
In this case, matchmakers and Geng Tie are particularly important.
Huang Tinghui's expression was a little strange. He looked at Aunt Liu. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Aunt Liu thought Huang Tinghui was worried, so she patted her chest and assured Huang Tinghui: "Brother Hui, don't worry!"
"Your Aunt Liu is not an ignorant matchmaker. Marriage has been destined by God since ancient times."
"Aunt Liu will definitely keep you in check!"
Aunt Liu had already talked to this extent, and Huang Tinghui really didn't know what to say.
Huang Tinghui's head was in chaos at the moment. He sighed and bowed to Aunt Liu: "Thank you for everything, Aunt Liu!"
"I went to the stove to watch. After Aunt Liu finished her work, Tinghui prepared a mouthful of porridge for Aunt Liu."
"Brother Hui's porridge is so delicious. Aunt Liu must be thick-skinned and give Brother Hui a sip of the porridge!"
"Brother Hui, go and do your work. It's good to have me here!"
"Women's issues are settled by women's families!"
After saying that, Aunt Liu waved to Huang Tinghui and walked into the main room of the thatched house.
Huang Tinghui shook his head. After sorting out his chaotic thoughts, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
It's not that Huang Tinghui doesn't want Wu Feilian to be his little wife.
The little girl is kind-hearted, capable, and very lucky.
She also looks fair and beautiful, with long legs.
Being able to have such a daughter-in-law is a marriage given by God.
It’s just that she is only sixteen years old!
Although in the prosperous dynasty, there were many mothers of sixteen-year-old girls.
But Huang Tinghui, who had received modern education, could not accept this change of thought for a while.
What a beast!
How could he have the nerve to attack a sixteen-year-old girl?
Besides, Huang Tinghui was not very old at this time.
According to the thinking of later generations, this should be the best age to start a career.
"Never mind, let's make peace with it now!" Huang Tinghui tinkered with the firewood on the stove.
Amidst the "cracking" sound of the flames burning, Huang Tinghui's attention was involuntarily attracted to the movement on the other side of the broken curtain.
"Ah..." Aunt Liu's rather sad voice came from the other side of the broken curtain.
Then the sound of something being collided and falling was heard.
Huang Tinghui's heart tightened, and he put down the poker in his hand.
He opened the broken curtain and entered the bedroom.
"Xiaolian, Aunt Liu!"
"What's wrong?" Huang Tinghui asked in panic.
At this time, Aunt Liu fell to the ground due to excessive fright.
The little girl looked very much like a kitten, with her legs curled up.
He hugged his calf tightly with both hands and buried his head on his calf.
Huang Tinghui didn't look carefully, but the little girl's trembling body made people feel particularly distressed.
"Xiaolian!" Huang Tinghui called softly.
The little girl raised her head when she heard the sound, and what caught Huang Tinghui's eyes was a little face with pear blossoms and rain.
