If it weren't for the upcoming wedding, Chu Yunli would have been beaten even more severely.
The driver next to the carriage turned pale with fright, but said nothing and watched her leave.
"This drunk maniac!"
After walking a long way, I still heard Li Chaowen's sad and angry voice.
The corners of Chu Yunli's lips curled up slightly. If he beat someone without drinking, he would be suspicious.
When Chu Feng got married, the whole back street became lively, and many people in the city came to congratulate him in person. There were so many people that there was no space in the Chu family's yard, and the tables were placed on the street.
Chu Yunli was getting married for the second time, but Chu Feng was getting married for the first time, and Chu's mother made it very grand.
Seeing that the mother and son lived in this small courtyard and had average food and drink, Chu Yunli thought that the mother and son were short of money and did not have much money in savings. However, when things got closer, she realized that she had underestimated Chu Feng's ability to manage the situation.
The influence of the city. Compared with the Li family, whether it is the guests coming to congratulate or the food on the table, it is not bad at all.
When the sedan chair came, Chu Yunli was carried on the sedan chair by Brother Lu. When she arrived at the door of Chu's house, her slender hand stretched out from the sedan curtain, not grabbing the wedding silk, but directly grabbing her hand, "Qiu Niang."
Under the hijab, the corners of Chu Yunli's lips were slightly raised. After marrying him so many times, the situation no longer mattered. As long as it was this person, it was fine.
The two slowly walked into the main hall hand in hand, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and became husband and wife.
Amidst the cheers, Chu Feng held her hand tightly and laughed softly, "I finally married you."
The wedding night was charming and touching.
The next morning, when Chu Yunli woke up, it was already bright outside, and the faint light shone through the window paper. She noticed the big hands on her waist, and the corners of Chu Yunli's mouth turned up unconsciously. She was married!
She turned over and buried herself in his arms, "Chu Feng."
"Huh?" A hoarse male voice came from above her head, with a laziness that had not yet woken up, and he hugged her tighter, "Let's sleep a little longer."
The two of them squinted for a while, and Chu Yunli sat up and said, "I'm going to cook, and I have to go to the Lu family to pick up Xuan'er later."
"I'll pick up the kids and have breakfast together." Chu Feng also stood up.
When Chu's mother got up, she saw two people in the kitchen with smiles on their faces and intimacy in every move. In the yard, Xuan'er was squatting in the corner. There were two more people, and it seemed that the home had a little more fireworks. Seeing
When she came out, Xuan'er's eyebrows curved, "Mother-in-law, Chongchong!"
While watching the bugs, Chu's mother went over to squat with him with a smile, "Xuan'er, from now on you can't call me mother-in-law, you have to call me grandmother."
The two families had dinner together not once or twice. Chu's mother wanted to have a good relationship with her daughter-in-law. Chu Yunli also felt that this mother-in-law was easy to get along with and she was a caring person. After a few words, the atmosphere in the house became more and more harmonious.
Chu's mother also gave gifts, a pair of bracelets for Chu Yunli and a pair of small bracelets for Xuan'er.
Both mother and son changed their words, and it was obvious that Chu's mother liked her children very much.
Chu Yunli knew in her heart that this was Aiwujiwu. What Chu's mother liked most was her son. She did not embarrass their mother and son, and she did not want to embarrass her son. She was a very transparent woman.
Originally, Chu Yunli lived in a back street, and there were some gossips at first, and even Lai San and others came to bully her. Later, no one dared to bully her, but because of her contacts with the Chu family, rumors have always existed. Now,
Now that she is married, the rumors surrounding mother and son have disappeared instantly.
The days passed peacefully. Every morning, Chu Yunli and her mother-in-law would go shopping for meat and vegetables. Chu Feng was studying at home. He really needed to take the imperial examination. It was thousands of miles away from the capital. During this period, he could only go by land, and there were no roads on the way.
Taiping is actually quite dangerous.
There is no rush to leave for the capital. Anyway, we just took the imperial examination last year and still have two years to prepare.
It's June in the blink of an eye, the sun is blazing and the heat is unbearable. No one wants to go out.
That afternoon, someone moved into the small courtyard next door.
Chu Yunli originally planned to collect some money to buy the yard, and the mother and son settled down, but when she met Chu Feng, she didn't buy it.
Someone rented the yard next door again. The move was noisy for a long time. During dinner, Chu's mother smiled and said, "I'll go over tomorrow to see the new neighbors. I feel settled now."
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "Did you buy it?"
Chu's mother smiled and nodded, "Eighty taels, and the price has not been paid back. I asked the Lin family, and they said they were from out of town, probably the bastard son of the separated family who settled here."
Chu Feng on the side was confused, "It shouldn't be. Since we have to move, why move to Mancheng? It will be much safer to move to Fucheng."
The closer you get to the border, the more dangerous it is. It was lucky that the tribesmen didn't come here last year to grab things. In the past, they came almost every year. Many people outside the city have cellars in their homes for hiding food and people. I heard that many people in the mountains still have cellars.
In a cave, if something goes wrong, they will run and hide and wait for the tribesmen to retreat before coming out.
Chu's mother glared at her son, "Do you think everything will be fine if you have a house? You can't chew on the house, don't you want to fill your stomach? Our place is close to the border and has the most fur. There are many profits here. If you do it well, you can make a lot of money. At least you can
Just make a living."
For example, the Lu family can only make ends meet.
"So, they are here for business?" Chu Feng was not angry with his mother.
Chu's mother nodded, "It should be. I heard that I bought a shop in front of it."
Chu Yunli didn't pay much attention to the new neighbor. She was a casual person, and she didn't insist on leaving a good reputation, let alone build a good relationship with anyone for this purpose.
But when Chu's mother came back from next door the next day, she looked mysterious and said, "That doesn't look like a concubine!"
Chu Yunli: "..."
"like what?"
Chu's mother smiled and whispered, "I don't know anything else, but Mrs. Zhou has fair and delicate fingers and will never work. Whose bastard daughter-in-law has such a good background?"
Finally, he said, "Maybe it's because of my family's financial difficulties that I ended up living next door to us."
Just in the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Zhou from next door came, holding a plate of snow-white pastries and standing gracefully at the door. After seeing her, he looked at her without any trace and said with a smile, "Is it Mrs. Chu?"
I made some snacks and sent some here for you to try."
When walking, her skirt does not move and her posture is straight. When she sits up, she folds her hands on her knees and smiles without showing her teeth. She is a serious lady.
Chu Yunli has seen many such people, but in this Man City, she has never seen such a well-behaved girl, including the beautiful girl, who is far behind compared to the one in front of her.
There are neighbors next door, and the two families occasionally come and go. They say hello when they meet, and they do not disturb the Chu family's life.
In mid-August, the autumn days cooled down, and many people liked to go out at this time. Chu Yunli was fine. This time she did nothing, just took care of her children at home, and occasionally went out for a walk, so there was nothing special about her.
Want to go out.
This morning, she was woken up by Chu Feng while she was sleeping, "Let's go outside the city today. The osmanthus flowers are blooming. Let's pick some and bring them back to make osmanthus cakes."
Chu Yunli: "..."
Recently, she is keen on making all kinds of pastries, and her grandparents and grandchildren are all very happy. Of course, if she makes them, even if she is not a particularly good pastry, it will not taste bad. Chu Feng reluctantly eats it every time, as if he can't shirk it.
food.
At this time, I wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and I even went outside the city to pick flowers for this purpose...
Meeting her smiling gaze, Chu Feng coughed and said, "I want to take you to see the sweet-scented osmanthus."
No matter which way, the two of them can be alone, and Chu Yunli doesn't bother to worry about it.
After telling Chu's mother that she didn't take Xuan'er with her, the couple found a carriage and headed out of the city.
Just when he was about to leave the city, the road ahead was blocked. The coachman ran down and asked. He came back soon and said, "General Zhu is returning to the city. I have to stay out of the way for a while."
General Zhu?
Chu Yunli opened the curtain, and not long after, a group of people came over on horseback. The man on the front horse was about forty years old, and he was wearing armor. He walked slowly with an orderly army without squinting. The people watching were all solemn.
Because of General Zhu, those tribes rarely entered the city. Most of the time, they plundered the surrounding villages. Occasionally, General Zhu could capture some.
When Chu Yunli looked away, she saw a familiar person next to General Zhu. Li Chaowen was also wearing armor, protecting him. He seemed to have noticed her gaze and looked over.
The moment he saw her face clearly, Li Chaowen's expression turned cold.
Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for half a year.
"Don't look, what's so good about being so tanned?" Chu Feng put down the curtain and opened her face, "Look at me, I look better."
Chu Yunli: "..." Pretty boy!
After leaving the city, the two of them were in a good mood. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees were planted on the roadside, and the tree-lined paths were endless. The roads were covered with sweet-scented osmanthus for several miles. After smelling it for a long time, it became a little sweet.
It was rare for the two of them to be alone, and the atmosphere was warm. Seeing that it was getting late, they were about to go back to the city. When they walked to the carriage, they found someone there, who seemed to be waiting for the two of them.
Speaking of which, we are still acquaintances, they are the Zhou couple who just moved next door.
The two of them seemed to have met for a trip. They were chatting and joking in a low voice. Seeing the two of them approaching, Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Brother Chu, I just said that I would wait a minute when I saw you two. I didn't expect that it was really you!"
The Zhou family's carriage belongs to them.
Chu Yunli and the two of them were riding in a rented car, and they rented it for a day together with the driver.
Everyone takes their own carriage, there is nothing to wait for.
He must have something to say.
What Chu Yunli thought of, Chu Feng also thought of. He pointed to the pavilion not far away, "Let's go and sit."
Zhou Lin did not refuse and followed with his wife.
The four of them sat down and Zhou Lin asked with a smile, "I heard that my sister-in-law is married for the second time and was previously married to the Li family?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly changed.
