chapter 2
It was almost dusk, and golden light fell on the man's elegant face, making his eyebrows deeper. The eyes under the thick sword eyebrows were powerful without anger.
This is a handsome man. Under his tall nose, the corner of his mouth with thin lips seemed to be naturally smiling, and it always raised slightly, which diluted a little bit of the solemn and gloomy aura that shone out in his eyes.
Liu Miantang still remembers that when he saw him first after he was seriously ill, the first thought that flashed through his mind was: Although he looked good, he didn't look peaceful, and he had a bit of peach blossom appearance. Whoever became his wife would definitely feel tired.
The ancients said that people should not be treated like appearances, otherwise God will punish them.
Still on the sickbed, she was confused and confused, and soon found that the retribution that she had complained about others was coming - the sachet she had prepared to give to her future husband before getting married was hanging brightly on the handsome young man with peach blossoms on the corner of her mouth.
In addition, when she heard that the young doctor who took her pulse called him Master Cui Jiu, she vaguely guessed that she was the unlucky lady who was destined to be tired.
When she got the conclusive answer from the doctor's mouth, she was also mixed and didn't know how to face this strange husband.
At that time, she could not speak too much, but could only watch Cui Jiu sit aside on the bed, and carefully asked the doctor: "How is her condition and how long will it take to speak?"
The low and magnetic sound made people feel at ease...
Just as she was thinking about it, Cui Jiu had already lifted the curtain and walked in strode. Seeing her staring at her straight and blankly, she paused, and was silent for a while before she said lightly: "I'm back."
After all, she and him had not seen each other for more than a month.
Unfortunately, she and Cui Jiu have been married for several years, but now they are gone in her mind, and she will definitely not have the resentment and longing for her husband who never returns.
However, she learned a little about the past from others intermittently, and only heard that the couple has been in love after getting married.
Although she was unfamiliar, she was grateful to her husband Cui Jiu for the help of the Liu family and her, so she still came back to her senses and walked over, preparing to take off her cloak and dust off the dust.
But before she could get close, Cui Jiu's long finger had already untied his laces and threw the satin cloak behind him on the bench beside him.
Seeing that he had already sat down, Miantang took a cup of water at the table and poured a cup of water for him and said, "Mom Li is cooking under the kitchen. Before she could deliver hot water, this pot is so warm that it is not easy to make tea. Husband, please moisten your throat first."
As he said that, he followed the rules learned from the female master who taught her wife before she got married, and half bent her body and held the water cup to her forehead to worship her husband.
This is the etiquette that women of the world should respect their husbands.
Cui Jiu narrowed his deep eyes slightly, but did not take her water cup, but picked up the book on the side and flipped it over, saying concerning words: "Doctor Zhao said that you are seriously ill and are most afraid of cold air. You should avoid drinking this cold water."
As he said that, he shouted loudly outside the house: "Mom Li, bring hot tea in!"
Then Li's mother was quick-witted and soon, she brought in a pot of hot tea.
Cui Jiu took the teacup served by Li's mother, rolled up her sleeves and brushed away the tea foam with the cover, and took a sip gracefully.
When Liu Miantang was practicing tea ceremony with his female master, he heard from the Master that the way to drink tea is to lift the cover, brush the tea, and grind the cup.
When she saw the Master's demonstration of flowing water, she secretly admired her, but now when she looked at Cui Jiu's elegant tea-tasting posture, it seemed that the lady was a little vulgar and artificial.
She only remembered that the Cui family was a wealthy family in the capital, but she was just a boatman from the Caogang who made a fortune by selling private salt. Unexpectedly, Cui Jiu, a son of a merchant family, had the temperament of a family of gentry.
In comparison, this half-baked down-and-out official woman seems a bit disproportionate to the jade-like gentleman on the opposite side...
After Li's mother served the tea, she respectfully stepped down and left Liu Miantang and Cui Jiu and his wife to sit opposite each other.
In fact, there weren't many times before when the two were alone. When she was seriously ill and lingering, she was always served by her maids. When she was in good health, Cui Jiu went out to go out for business again.
Now that the two of them are sitting opposite each other in the quiet room, she remembers that being a wife does not only need to hold her face together, but also the couple flying together...
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little nervous. It was getting late now, but she seemed not ready.
However, after Cui Jiu put down the teacup, he gently asked about her body better recently.
Seeing that his husband was just having a chat with him, Liu Miantang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and answered one by one.
After asking a few gossips, Cui Jiu suddenly asked inadvertently: "You are here for the first time and you will take time to go for a walk in the town tomorrow. If you see something you want to buy, just go and buy it."
Miantang listened and thought for a while and said, "I have nothing to lack. There are so many people on the streets. It's better to clean up and make some peace at home."
The Cui family is now in a dilemma, and all the valuable shops in the capital have been sold. Now they come to Lingquan Town to do some porcelain business. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and I think there is money everywhere. If you don’t save more, you will still be as generous as before. Wouldn’t you be so vain?
But she didn't want to hurt her husband's self-esteem, so she didn't say anything she was afraid of spending money when she went out.
But speaking of this, she got up and took out her jewelry box from her suitcase.
There are two silver notes that her grandfather asked someone to send to her when she got married.
When she woke up from a serious illness, the other dowry disappeared, and only the jewelry and silver box that her mother passed to her was pressed under her cotton mattress intact. Later, the husband's family was in trouble, but Cui Jiu never cared about her having to make-up box.
Now, Mian Tang took out one without hesitation and handed it to him, "I heard from Mother Li, that you have bought a new shop in the town, and you have a grand plan and are just around the corner. I don't have many dowry. I'm the only one who can buy shares and open a store, and I can also share some dividends with my husband."
She said this, leaving Cui Jiu with a man's face. It's hard to say directly, Husband, you're all over now, I'm afraid you don't have the capital, so I'll give you some compensation.
Cui Jiu seemed to have not expected her to do so. He just stared at her eyes for a while, but did not answer, but said, "Are you afraid of losing your business? Is your dowry going to go without returning?"
Seeing that he didn't accept it, Miantang put the banknotes on the table and smiled: "When doing business, you always lose money and make money. Could it be that all the money in the world can be earned by one person? You can use it for me, which is better than if I have a dark look on my face." As he said that, he looked at him with a look of hope, hoping that he would accept it.
Miantang was originally beautiful, but if the beauty had no spiritual orifice, she was just a jade carving without spiritual spirit. When she smiled slightly, the feeling of alienation that was as intimate as an iceberg beauty suddenly disappeared in her smile like a flower-like smile. The two shallow dimples on her thin white cheeks looked very sweet, and she felt like a naive little girl.
Cui Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly for a while before reaching out to pick up the silver note and said, "So, I'll keep it for you first... But I still have to go to the street market. I have already ordered a few new cloths to pull clothes for you in the cloth store. Go and see. If you don't like it, you'll change the way you like..."
Since it was my husband's considerate heart, Miantang couldn't refuse any more, so he nodded and agreed.
At this moment, Mother Li came to ask if Master Jiu had a meal. After hearing from the owner that he had prepared the meal, he carried the meal on a lacquered wooden tray.
Today's dishes are all Jiangnan style. The lotus root slices are fried with delicious fresh meat, golden and crispy, the beggar boy chicken exudes the fragrance of lotus leaves, and a tofu soup with crab roe on top, which is extremely delicious.
Perhaps because the Dongjia Jiuye came back, Li's mother, who cooked food on weekdays, was very attentive today.
Liu Miantang has been focusing on porridge and vegetables all the way. It’s okay if he doesn’t see the meat. When he sees it, he realizes that he is really greedy for meat and eats it at the moment.
After the fragrant meat entered her stomach and relieved her greed, she realized that she seemed to have lost her manners when she was just eating. She immediately put a bowl of tofu soup in a small bowl, regained the etiquette she had practiced before getting married, and raised her face to present it to her husband for enjoyment.
She was too obsessed with her. When she was at her parents' home, she was scolded by her father for her poor eating habits. Since then, every time she eats in front of others, she always has a 70% restraint.
But now she only cares about herself, and it is really not worth it. The family is not much money now, and it is not common for her to wait for a table of wine and food. Her husband is busy with business every day and must spend energy and needs to make up for it. How can she eat more at home?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly put away her chopsticks and chewed the rice in small mouth.
Cui Jiu didn't eat much, but he just picked up a few chopsticks occasionally. Most of the time, he spent watching Miantang opposite him feasting.
When a beauty eats food, she pays attention to her elegance, such as not chewing her teeth and drinking her soup silently. Unfortunately, her wife is beautiful, but she eats her eyes wide and her cheeks are bulging, and she is extremely focused.
However, the concentration that is devoted to one's body and mind makes people feel vulgar and is driven to arouse appetite.
If he accidentally didn't want to eat too much, he would eat a few more chopsticks. But later, maybe she was full and would no longer see her pick up food.
The two of them sat opposite each other, and they were not interested in eating, so they seemed a little cold and speechless.
After dinner, Cui Jiu rinsed his mouth with fragrant tea and said to her: "A new batch of goods has been arrived at the dock. I have to go and count them. I will probably not come back tonight. You can get tired all the way and take a break in a while."
Originally, Miantang had been secretly nervous about whether the two of them would stay together tonight. After hearing Cui Jiu say this, he sighed a long sigh and said with a brisk tone: "Although it is Jiangnan, there is also a cool air at night. It's better for your husband to wear thicker clothes..."
As he said that, he took out a small jacket he had sewn in the past few days and handed it to his husband.
