Fortunate Wife

"Daughter-in-law." Li Shu stood at the door and called her affectionately.

Dressed in red, he is handsome, with a bright smile on his eyes and brows.

Li Man was slightly startled, and saw him stepping in, and closed the door behind him.

The light in the room dimmed instantly.

"Li Shu." Li Man stared at him blankly, her voice hoarse.

Li Shu raised his lips and smiled at her, walked to the big cabinet, took out two red candles the size of a baby's arms from his arms, lit them with a torch, and carefully placed them on the big cabinet.

The fiery red candlelight instantly made this simple bedroom look hazy and warm.

"This..." Li Man stared at the beautiful candlelight, feeling a little dazed.

After Li Shu lit the candles, he turned around and walked towards her, looking at the little girl, sitting quietly on the kang and waiting for him, his heart softened.

"Daughter-in-law..." He leaned over slightly, leaning on the edge of the bed with one hand, and gently caressed her face with the other, his eyes were so soft that water could be squeezed out.

Li Man was a little embarrassed, he was dressed like a groom, and he had prepared a pair of dragon and phoenix candles...

This seemed to be the first time she realized that she was in ancient times.

The wedding night in the bridal chamber.

Flustered by his stare, Li Man deliberately changed the subject, "Where did you get this candle?"

Li Shu chuckled twice, then mysteriously took out another paper bag from his bosom, and stuffed it into Li Man's palm.

"What?" Li Man was curious.

Li Shu shrugged his eyebrows at her, "Open it and have a look."

Li Man opened it curiously. There were two snacks in the paper bag, which smelled like dates, and a small handful of peanuts and lotus seeds.

"This?"

Li Shu twisted a piece of jujube cake and handed it to her lips, "I haven't eaten anything during the day, are you hungry?"

"Where did you get this pastry?" Li Man opened her lips to hold the pastry, and asked while eating.

Li Shu took off his shoes and sat on the kang, "The snacks are from Aunt Xu."

As he spoke, he peeled another peanut and stuffed it into her mouth.

Li Man chewed, a green air filled his mouth, and he frowned immediately, "It's still raw?"

"Really?" Li Shu's eyes were burning.

Li Man nodded in a daze, she wanted to vomit, but seeing his eyes, she swallowed it back in a daze.

"Then eat another lotus seed." Li Shu picked another lotus seed and fed it to her mouth.

Li Man chewed it, her face sullen, "It's still raw." Didn't this kid do it on purpose?

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Shu hugged her tightly and kept praising, "Good wife."

Li Manzhi was a little dumbfounded, "What's wrong?"

"Haha, daughter-in-law, do you like to eat? Eat all of it." Li Shu then let go of her, gave her another piece of pastry, and asked, "Do you want to choke, let me pour you some water?"

"Yeah." It wasn't because the jujube cake choked on her, but because she ate raw peanuts and lotus seeds, and the green smell made her uncomfortable.

Li Shu put the paper bag in her hand, slipped off the bed, put on his shoes, and went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of hot water.

Li Man ate two pieces of pastry and drank a bowl of hot water, feeling full.

"Daughter-in-law, eat some more." Li Shu sat on the edge of the kang and peeled peanuts for her.

"Where did you get it?" Li Man asked curiously, anyway, she didn't have one at home, otherwise, she would have given it to Xiao Wu.

"I got it from someone else." Li Shu smiled, and handed the peeled peanut to her lips.

Li Man tilted her head back, "Eat, I'm full."

"Eat some more." Li Shu still put the peanuts into her mouth, "These peanuts are delicious, and everyone in our village has them. Hehe, I have a good relationship with him. Ask him for it, and I will give it."

"Oh. Why do you want this?" Li Man was embarrassed to just eat without peeling, so she also took the peanuts, peeled them, and handed them to his lips, "You eat too."

"Yeah." Li Shu lowered his head, opened his mouth and took it from her hand, maybe he didn't grasp it well, the wet and hot tip of his tongue slid past her fingers, making Li Man froze all over, and hurriedly put down the other peanuts, not daring to Peel again.

"You peel it and eat it yourself, I'm full." She said.

"Oh." Sure enough, Li Shu peeled it off and threw it into his mouth, asking with a smile, "Aren't you hungry?"

Li Man shook her head, not wanting to eat raw peanuts anymore.

Li Shu packed the paper bag in a hurry, put it directly on the window sill, clapped his hands, leaned towards Li Man, smiled Mimi and said, "Then, it's getting dark, daughter-in-law, let's rest."

Pfft... Li Man was amused by his eagerness and the last sentence of rest, where did he learn it?

But she didn't laugh for a while, and was frightened by his undressing. She grabbed her skirt with both hands, and said anxiously, "Li Shu, you will—"

"What's wrong?" Li Shu stopped his movements, his eyes begged, "Daughter-in-law, you promised me a long time ago, and you will rely on me for the day of the bridal chamber."

Li Man blushed and was very shy, pointing at the candle, "Is that immortal?"

With a candle lit, everything in the room can be seen clearly.

Li Shu smiled, and scratched her cheek with his finger * wetly, "Fool, the candle can't be extinguished in the wedding night, it's best to light it until dawn."

"Ah, there is such a theory?" Li Man was flustered, how to proceed with lighting candles like this?

Seeing Li Shu half kneeling in front of her like a hill, she had the urge to run away.

"Daughter-in-law." Li Shu lowered his body slightly, gently held her drunken little face, and smiled softly, "Are you afraid?"

"No, no..." Li Man turned her eyes away and bit her lip slightly.

Li Shu leaned down, leaned close to her red ear that was about to bleed, and smiled softly, "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, I will be very light..."

Two fingers came to her body, and gently untied the belt on her body.

Li Man was a little dizzy, her body went limp, and she leaned into his arms. Although it was not the first time, she still shyly closed her eyes on such a bridal night.

Outside the window, the night gradually diffused, and inside the house, red candles were flickering, and low and deep breaths slowly overflowed...

In the east room, except for Xiao Wu who was put to sleep by Li Hua, the other three men were lying on the kang, all with their eyes wide open, staring at the dark roof.

It was all because the room was too small and the sound insulation was poor, the sound was like a curse, even though they covered their ears with blankets and covered their ears, they still sang high or low into their ears.

Did that bad boy, the third child, do it on purpose?

*By dawn, all the revenge has been avenged.

At dawn the next day, there was silence in the courtyard of Li's house, and there was no sign of anyone getting up, until the sun was three poles, Xiao Wu rubbed his stomach and called Big Brother.

Only then did everyone get up one after another, and the few people who hadn't slept all looked haggard.

Only Li Shu, who came out of the Westinghouse at this moment, was refreshed and full of energy, and he was even more handsome in red.

"Big Brother, Second Brother. Oh, Fourth Brother." While wearing his belt, he greeted the brother who just came out of the east room, with the corners of his lips raised, full of a satisfied smile after eating and drinking.

Li Mo snorted, nodded, and headed towards the backyard.

Li Yan's face was livid, and he directly bypassed him and went to the kitchen to boil water to wash.

"Fourth brother?" Li Shu looked at the only Li Hua left behind, raised his lips and smiled, "What's wrong with the eldest brother and the second brother? They seem to be angry with me."

More than angry, the second brother was so annoyed last night that he almost went to the next room to beat someone up.

"Third brother." Li Hua looked at the neighbor worriedly, "Man'er..." It was * again, he felt sorry for her.

"My daughter-in-law is sleeping soundly, so don't call her that." Li Shu said.

Li Huaning raised her eyebrows, glanced at Li Shu, and went straight to the kitchen without saying a word.

"Third Brother." At this moment, Xiao Wu poked his head out from the door frame and looked at Li Shu suspiciously.

Li Shu was in a particularly good mood today, and he waved at him, "Little thing, come here, third brother has delicious food here."

Last night's peanuts and lotus seeds, he deliberately left some, just for Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu slipped over from the door, took the food, and then asked curiously, "Third brother, did you sleep in your sister's room last night?"

"Ah." Li Shu nodded.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Wu looked at him worriedly.

Li Shu laughed, "Am I not well?"

Xiao Wu looked at Westinghouse anxiously again, "What about sister?"

Li Shu was curious, "What's the matter? Your sister is also fine and still asleep. Don't disturb her."

"It's really okay? It's fine." Only then did Xiao Wu feel relieved, thinking about the voices he heard last night, sometimes it was the muffled roar of the third brother, and sometimes it was the suppressed voice of his sister who seemed to be about to cry. I woke up from the dream several times and wanted to go and have a look, but the eldest brother insisted that the third brother was catching mice in my sister's house.

If you want to catch mice, how can you catch them for so long? Besides, isn't the bear trap made by big brother better? He still wanted to put two in the past, but he was caught by the eldest brother and stuffed into the quilt.

Hey......

Fortunately, the third brother and sister are fine.

——

Li Man didn't sleep for a long time. From yesterday's sunset to today's sunset, she didn't go out for a whole day.

Both meals were saved, the dinner was brought in by Xiao Wu, she just rinsed her mouth and started gobbling it up, she was really hungry.

After eating, he lay down again and never went out again.

In fact, I can't say how tired it is. Compared with the others, Li Shu is the most gentle and considerate one to her. Except when she couldn't hold it in the end, at other times, as long as she was slightly uncomfortable, he would try his best to cooperate with her.

Let her feel like a flower being cared for, his most cherished wife.

However, there are several others next door, and the sound insulation of this room is poor, she knows, so even if she tries her best not to make a sound, the thumping on the kang can still arouse people's imagination.

Therefore, it was useless, she was tired and ashamed and didn't come out all day.

After another day, she finally had enough sleep, and this day, no one snatched her kang, and she slept soundly.

When I got up again, my complexion was rosy, and after a little freshening up, the juicy little beauty came out.

When she went out, the people in the yard were obviously stunned, but their eyes were filled with surprise immediately.

It's just that they all looked at her, and no one said a word first.

They didn't say anything, but Li Man wanted to say, "After dinner, I have to go to Uncle Xu's place. I don't know how Dayong is doing?"

"Well, it should be fine. Uncle Xu said yesterday that he asked you to come back and stay for a few more days. He said that if there is a problem, he will send someone over. So far no one has come, so it should be fine." Li Yan said.

Li Man nodded, but she was still worried, "Have you guys eaten yet? I'll ask Xiao Wu to accompany me later."

"Little Five?" The four of them were obviously a little unhappy, but it seemed even more unhappy to let one of them follow.

Li Man pursed her lips and glanced at these people. She really couldn't stand it anymore, and needed to go to Aunt Xu's side to rest for a few days, otherwise, she would never even think about getting off the kang.

"Well, I'll let Xiao Wu clean up and go with you later." Li Mo thought for a while and said.

Li Man smiled, turned and went to the kitchen, "Then I'll eat first."

The four of them watched her enter the kitchen, and then glanced at each other, with helplessness, pity, and deep love in their eyes.

The daughter-in-law can do whatever she wants. Now that they have consummated their marriage, they are not afraid that the daughter-in-law will run away. Besides, the schedule has been arranged, and the execution will be done next month.

I have endured it for so many years, and now I should endure it these days.

After breakfast, Li Man packed some clothes for Xiao Wu, and the two set off.

When he arrived at Dr. Xu's house, he saw that Dayong was already able to get off the kang, and he was eating the noodles that Aunt Xu made for him.

Dayong met Xiao Wu, and the two friends were very happy.

But just letting them have a casual chat, Li Man brought Xiao Wu out. Before he got better, she thought it would be better to have less contact with him.

In the following days, Li Man and Xiao Wu lived in Xu Bo's house, and she was satisfied that none of the men in the family had been here these days, which really made her feel comfortable for a while.

These days, Dayong's illness has been basically under control, and the rash on his body has scabbed, waiting to be removed.

As for Li Man, besides taking care of Dayong every day and teaching Xiao Wu to read some books, she just talked with Aunt Xu and learned something from Uncle Xu.

It's nothing else, but she has gained a lot of experience during the few days with Uncle Xu. It turns out that this old man is not specialized in treating diseases, but he is a well-known therapist.

What therapist? Later, it was Aunt Xu who secretly told her that when old man Xu was young, he turned out to be the head of the palace, and he specialized in serving those women who were the emperor's blessing.

No wonder Aunt Xu said that he was not a serious person when he was young.

However, thirty years ago, the royal family of Dayan Kingdom changed suddenly, and he was probably afraid of being implicated at a young age, so he was transferred to this ghostly place where birds don't shit.

Relying on knowing a little bit of medical skills and being willing to delve into it, old man Xu quickly gained a foothold here.

And Aunt Xu was the concubine daughter of a wealthy family in the outer town. She was weak and sick since she was a child, and the head of the family took care of her as if she was dying. After a long time, feelings developed.

At that time, he was a full twenty-three years older than her, and two years older than her father. This matter has been blocked by the family.

Aunt Xu was also a violent person, she didn't bring anything, even threw all the clothes on her body to her natal family, wrapped in the robe that old man Xu was wearing at that time, just followed him to the Goddess Valley, and spent half of her life.

Hearing this, Li Man admired Aunt Xu very much. If she were her, she might not have the courage.

She also asked Aunt Xu if she regretted it, and Aunt Xu shook her head, saying that it was enough to have that dead old man in her life, and she didn't want to do anything else, and she found it boring.

Li Man thought of herself, in this lifetime, having brothers from the Li family should be enough for her.

However, when she thought this way, deep in her heart was inexplicably sad.

She didn't understand why this sadness came, but...

Especially when Xu Bo talked about another great change in Dayan's royal family five years ago, when she heard that Prince Yan Bei died under random arrows, she was inexplicably worried and wept.

Even Uncle Xu laughed at her, saying she was a silly girl, while Aunt Xu glared at Uncle Xu, saying that Man'er was a kind child, and naturally she was sad to hear those things, let alone her, she was so cruel. The people who heard it couldn't help but feel sad.

Although she didn't know what kind of person Crown Prince Yan Bei was, she had heard old man Xu talk about his mother Lin Guifei, saying that she was the most beautiful, noble and kind-hearted woman he had ever seen in his life.

So, she thinks her son is not bad either.

National affairs had nothing to do with a little girl like Li Man, so the sadness was only for a moment, and as Dayong got better, the dark clouds in her heart gradually dissipated.

Besides, it has been ten days since I came to Xu Bo's house, and Xiaowu misses home, so does she.

In the first few days when the brothers from the Li family didn't come to visit, she still felt comfortable and at ease, but after so many days, no one came, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, even a little annoyed, maybe she forgot about her relationship with her. It's little five.

In the early morning of this day, Li Man got up early, packed up her things, cooked breakfast, and called Aunt Xu Boxu to eat.

After hastily eating, he hurried home with his two children.

Although there are only two thatched huts, it is the place she cares about most now.

Upon returning home, the small fence gate at the courtyard gate was actually closed. Li Man's heart sank. Could it be that something happened at home? Otherwise, those few would not stop looking at themselves and Xiao Wu.

"Little Five? Master Man'er." At this moment, a little girl's voice came from behind.

When the two turned their heads, they saw the big girl and the second girl walking over carrying a basket of clothes.

Li Man nodded to the two of them, "Where are you doing the laundry?"

"Did you see my elder brother?" Xiao Wu asked.

Da Ya replied, "Did the elder brother and the second elder brother go into the mountains?"

"Entered the mountain?" Xiao Wu was puzzled, "What about my third brother and fourth brother?"

Erya smiled, "I'm working in the field."

"Oh." Li Man breathed a sigh of relief, working in the fields is fine, but, for the two who entered the mountain, she turned her face and asked Xiao Wu, "Is your elder brother and second brother going to the mountain to hunt?"

Xiao Wu frowned, "Probably so. But why doesn't the eldest brother go with the third brother? The third brother is better at hunting than the second brother."

This Li Man didn't care, she knew it was fine, so she pushed open the fence door, and went home with Xiao Wu carrying salutes.

The yard was full of peach fragrance. She saw that the peaches on the peach tree were big and juicy, so she hurriedly took a bamboo pole and beat a few, and stuffed them to the big girls.

The two children thanked her and asked when they could read and write with her again.

Li Man said that he could do it anytime, and the two children went back happily.

Li Man returned the salute to the house and found that the house was quite clean.

Moreover, the little yellow chicken has grown up a lot, and the piglet has also gained a lot of weight. It seems that a few new vegetables have been added to the small vegetable garden in the backyard, but they have only just grown seedlings, which she doesn't see much.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Man didn't want to rest. She took out the clothes that a few men had huddled in the east room and soaked them in water, and said they were clean. All dried up.

After it is done, wash the rice and wash the vegetables and prepare for cooking.

However, the food was almost ready, and no one came back, so Li Man became a little anxious and asked Xiao Wu to go to the field to shout.

Xiao Wu also couldn't bear to miss his brothers, obeyed the order, and hurriedly ran outside.

But he came back after a while.

Moreover, Li Shu was the first to enter the room, followed by Li Hua, and Xiao Wu was the last, squeezed in through the crack of the door.

"Daughter-in-law, you are finally back, and you want to die." Li Shu threw away his hoe, and rushed over without caring about his sweat, hugging Li Man who was serving vegetables tightly.

Li Man's heart warmed up. Although she usually annoys them and tires of herself, but at this moment, it's good to be able to look at them and feel them like this.

Li Hua stood beside her, looking at her peacefully, "Why do you cook when you come back? Don't wait for me to come back."

Li Man put down the dishes and looked at Li Hua, "You look tanned, have you been in the field these days?"

"Don't let him go, what can I do?" Li Shu finally let go of her, put one hand on her shoulder, and looked at Li Hua with a smile, "Blessed is the guy who doesn't know what to think."

Li Hua smiled quietly with his lips bent, and looked at her quietly. Of course, the third brother didn't know that without her at home, he would have no energy to do anything, so it would be more comfortable to work in the field.
