When Aunt Wang saw Li Dashan leaving, she hurriedly chased him out. Before leaving, she gave Zhou Rushuang a hard look, which seemed to mean, little girl, I'm waiting for you.
Zhou Rushuang quickly closed the temple door, fearing that Aunt Wang and Li Dashan would come back again.
When she saw Zhao Cheng, she obviously relaxed. Although Zhao Cheng only said six words in total, he drove away Aunt Wang and the malicious Li Dashan, and immediately became Zhou Rushuang's backbone.
Yes, this is her husband.
Mr. Dong said that if you are not married, you should obey your father, if you are married, you should obey your husband, and if your husband dies, you should obey your son. She still didn't understand it at first, but now she suddenly understood that even if her husband was sick and half-lying in bed and unable to get up, his majesty could scare away those with ill intentions.
This is the beloved person that I want to entrust with my whole heart.
"Ah, the porridge is mushy!"
Zhou Rushuang suddenly smelled a burnt smell and hurried over to take down the porridge pot from the stove.
Looking at the thick layer of burnt beans and rice at the bottom of the pot, Zhou Rushuang felt extremely distressed.
Every handful of grains was earned through her hard work. Because she was young, a girl, and physically weak, she couldn't do farm work at all. She could only sow more seeds of Lugu in the wasteland that others didn't want, and barely harvested a meager harvest of miscellaneous grains in autumn.
She usually couldn't bear to eat more every day, but today she was very happy to see Zhao Cheng wake up. In order to help Zhao Cheng recover as soon as possible, she added a handful of rice.
As a result, all that is edible now is a thin layer on top, and most of the grains below have been mushy.
Zhou Rushuang scraped off the edible layer with a wooden spoon, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Zhao Cheng with both hands.
"Husband, please have dinner."
Zhao Cheng has indeed felt hungry since he woke up, so even the burnt grain porridge smells particularly delicious.
Looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, Zhao Cheng took the porridge bowl and said thank you.
Zhou Rushuang smiled happily, her eyes like crescent moons.
"What about you? Why don't you eat it?" Zhao Cheng ate the somewhat mushy porridge and thought it was quite flavorful.
Zhou Rushuang replied happily: "Husband, please eat first, I will eat later."
There was still a lot of burnt porridge and rice left in the porridge pot. She couldn't bear to throw it away, so she carried the porridge pot to the door, sat down against the wall, and slowly dug out the burnt porridge with a wooden spoon.
On the small road in Zhoujia Village, Li Dashan from Liuxi Village was walking quickly in front, and the fat Aunt Wang was chasing after her in small steps.
"Li Dashan! Wait for me!"
Li Dashan's face looked extremely ugly at this time. He, Li Dashan, was now a well-known figure in Liuxi Village, but today he was embarrassed by that scoundrel from the Zhao family.
That's fine, after all, you can't afford to mess with scoundrels, but Zhou Wushuang, who was blown away by Mrs. Wang, is just like that. He wants meat but no meat, just like a firewood stick, and his face is so dirty that it makes him feel sick to his stomach just by looking at him.
Although it is just a baby, Li Dashan still feels that he should not be too accommodating. After all, the baby is bought to please himself. If he looks at it every day and feels sick, why buy it?
There was a marriage order, so Li Dashan had no worries about finding a beautiful girl.
"Li Da... kind man! You... wait for me!" Aunt Wang ran out of breath.
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to call me?" Li Dashan suddenly stopped, causing Mrs. Wang to almost bump into him, and he blocked it with his arm in disgust.
"That Zhou Rushuang, you blew me up so much that I couldn't find him in the sky or on the ground. But he turned out to be disheveled and looked like a little beggar. What's so good about that?"
"And that Zhao Cheng is a well-known scoundrel in our village. It's hard to get rid of him. He has all kinds of dirty tricks. I don't want to get involved with him."
"I finally understand. Your reputation as King Matchmaker was also blown away. Please don't bother me anymore."
Matchmaker Wang grabbed Li Dashan's sleeve and said, "Conscience of heaven and earth, you have been deceived by this little girl."
"She is a very smart girl. When she does not go out, she is not dirty at all. I have seen how she looks. She looks very handsome. But whenever she goes out, she will blacken her face and make her hair messy."
"She's afraid that others will care about her!" Matchmaker Wang gave Li Dashan a hard look.
Li Dashan paused: "Is this true?"
Matchmaker Wang hurriedly swore: "I will never deceive a good person, otherwise I will die badly."
Li Dashan snorted softly: "But now this little girl is obviously unwilling, and she even bought a scoundrel from the Zhao family to be her husband. What should we do?"
Matchmaker Wang slapped her breasts loudly: "Don't worry, the good man, I'll take care of it all. I've already found out the details about Zhao Cheng. He owes money to a young man who came to Beijing, and he's on the run from illness."
"As long as I give the old woman three days, I will definitely find the young master. What will happen even if Zhao Cheng is a rogue? If he is accused by the master of suffering, he can only go to jail obediently."
"By that time, won't Zhou Rushuang be able to capture him?"
Li Dashan was very excited when he heard this. He took out a small piece of broken silver from his belt and slapped it into Matchmaker Wang's hand: "Do your job well, and you will be rewarded if you do it well!"
"Thank you Dashan for the reward!" Matchmaker Wang's voice trembled with excitement. She was right to follow Mr. Li Dashan. In just half a day, she managed to coax a full two yuan of broken silver.
If Zhou Rushuang is coaxed into Li Dashan's bed, why not reward him with a piece of snowflake and silver?
As for the rogue son of the Zhao family, Matchmaker Wang didn't take it seriously. As long as she found the young master and revealed the details about Zhao Cheng, it would be strange if the other party could spare him.
"Hmph! Play hard with my old lady, just wait for me!"
In the ruined temple, after eating a bowl of porridge, Zhao Cheng felt his body gradually regained some strength and was able to sit up against the wall of the altar.
He was talking to Zhou Rushuang about the situation outside.
Although Zhou Rushuang is also literate, like the people in the village, he doesn't know much about the outside world.
In Zhou Rushuang's intermittent introduction, Zhao Cheng generally understood the world he lived in.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han are all the same ones that Zhao Cheng is familiar with. However, after the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, war broke out all over the world and heroes competed for the throne. The trajectory of history entered the fog here.
In the third year of the Qianhua period of the Later Liang Dynasty, Chen Taizu He Chen raised an army in the north of the Huaihe River. He made great progress and conquered the world ten years later. Because he raised his army in Chen, the country was named Chen.
The Chen Dynasty was first established, with many wastes waiting to be revitalized. Now it has been passed down to the third generation. Taizong's eldest son succeeded to the throne, with the reign name Taihe. In the early days of his accession to the throne, he put down the rebellion of King Lu, King Zhao, and King Han of different surnames.
Now that I have been recuperating for ten years, the world is gradually beginning to look like a prosperous age.
Zhao Cheng was a little surprised: "You said that your only relative passed away when you were four years old. Where did you learn so much?"
