The days passed like this day by day. In the blink of an eye, it was already winter, and snowflakes were still floating in the sky. In this courtyard full of white snow, a young man stood in front of the door with a cane. He stood here for a long time, and his body was exhausted. I was a little numb, so I stood still and moved a few times. My body was still very uncoordinated, but after these few months of training, I was at least able to go to the ground.
It was almost evening, and the courtyard was still quite bright. There was a sound of dog barking in the distance. His expression changed, and he looked forward with a worried expression. He leaned towards the door with his crutches. Today, she used the monthly payment given to scholars by the imperial court to go to the town to exchange for some quilts and clothes. It was really too cold.
He seemed to see the woman approaching from a distance through the not very high courtyard wall.
'Finally back. 'He hadn't spoken for a long time. At this time, he muttered a few words in his heart and felt his voice was hoarse.
A woman covered in snow walked out of the courtyard, holding a quilt on her shoulders. She seemed to see the man standing in front of her house. She also quickened her pace. Seeing his appearance now, she felt All a little heartbroken.
Shen Jie wanted to step forward, but found that he could not cross the threshold in front of the hall, so he could only wait here.
She walked into the courtyard and closed the fence gate.
"Come in quickly." As soon as she walked home, Shen Jie quickly shook the snow off her body with his free right hand.
"Are you in a hurry?" The woman saw the worried look in his eyes and felt warm in her heart.
"I must be waiting impatiently. I'm afraid something will happen to you on the way. When I get better, you can stay at home." Shen Jie said, closing the door of the main room with his right hand, thus avoiding most of the cold air. There is also some cold wind passing through the cracks into the home.
"Yeah." She nodded. She was originally thinking that in other families, men were the ones who took care of the family affairs. But here, the whole family was on her shoulders. Just now, she was really cool on the road. She was so scared that there was no one on the road. When she passed the mass graves in the mountains, she was so frightened that she almost ran over.
She was a little tired, so she sat on a stool with her hands around a small clay stove to keep warm. The originally frozen face finally gained some color.
Shen Jie staggered to the table and poured her a glass of water. He held a cane in one hand and handed it to her with a bowl of hot water in the other.
My family is not big to begin with. Although he didn't take a step and felt a huge pain from the nerves in his body, he could still endure it.
The skin on her side face is somewhat rosy, her hair is tied in a woman's bun, and her back is slim and slender. At first glance, she is a beauty that makes people have unlimited reverie.
He felt how lucky he was to be with her.
"Mr. Shen, you go and rest. I'll take care of this." Zhuo'er turned his face and looked at the man with a smile.
In the past few months, she had watched him move little by little, and now he was able to walk. This also gave her hope. In fact, on the night of the wedding, she had already wanted to die because she could not see the future. .
She has a sister who she has been fighting with since she was little. Before she got married, she married a man from the same town. Although the man didn't understand the Four Books and Five Classics, his family was very powerful in the town, so she married her. Life was good.
She once stayed in the city for two months with her fourth aunt who worked as a tailor in the city. Later, all she thought about was marrying into the city. Even if she was from a lower-class family in the city, she was willing to go. I don’t want to stay in this ravine with nothing for the rest of my life.
But her parents married her to a scholar who was seriously ill for a dowry of 100 taels. When she saw him looking like he was about to die that night, she really wanted to choke herself to death countless times, but found that she was committing suicide. It simply cannot be done.
After getting married, she gradually accepted her fate, but countless thoughts in her brain told her that she didn't want to stay here until she died of old age.
"Mr. Shen, if you get well one day, how about you go to the county to find a job?" Wang Zhuoer turned to look at him and said with some expectation.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Jie heard her say this. He had had such thoughts before, but he knew that he should have completely replaced the original man named Shen Jie. He had no understanding of the imperial examinations in this world. , still very confused about the future.
"Aren't you a scholar? It shouldn't be difficult to find an official position in the county. I heard people say that if you hadn't been sick before, you should have been able to work as a pawnbroker." Zhuo'er said.
"What you said seems to be true. Then when I get better, we will go to the county." Shen Jie was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he hurried back.
When Wang Zhuoer heard what he said, she felt very happy. She seemed to have seen a lively world.
