Wear It with Space - Chapter 15
Life in the town was as easy and comfortable as Shen Ling wished.
The house where they live has a small garden with ordinary flowers, including impatiens for dyeing nails.
In the early morning of this day, Shen Ling picked impatiens in the garden and heard the sound of selling plum soup in the street. As soon as Shen Ling heard this voice, he ran to the wall with the flower in his hand, and stepped on a stone to see the scene on the street.
The uncle who sells sour plum soup was pushing the wooden cart slowly eastward, and Shen Ling hurriedly shouted: “Uncle, have a bowl of sour plum soup.”
The sound was crisp and sharp, which made a 17-year-old young man on the street look back and saw a woman in green with flowers in her hands. Although she was not very beautiful, she was very moving. He couldn’t help but look at her a few more times, the woman noticed that someone was looking at her, and when she turned her head to look at her, she smiled, very generous.
The young man dared not look any more because of her smiling face gradually blushing, and hurried away.
A few days later, a matchmaker came to the door.
Because they said that they were relatives in the town, the old couple attached great importance to them and offered to look at each other. The matchmaker agreed very readily, saying that he would reply tomorrow.
On the other day, Shen Ling wore a pink gauze skirt embroidered with white magnolia. The pink color made her complexion very white and tender. The original color of five or six points was improved to seven or eight points by this dress.
Even Father Zhao praised him for being good-looking.
When the matchmaker brought Lin Qing into Zhao’s house, Shen Ling recognized him at a glance. He stared at her in the street for a long time that day, and then blushed and left.
This time he went to Zhao’s house, although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, but Shen Ling could still see his cramps from some small movements. She couldn’t help but smiled slightly, carrying the tea tray and sending them two cups of tea.
After Lin Qing and the matchmaker left, Auntie Zhao asked her what she meant. Shen Ling smiled and nodded. Aunt Zhao knew that she agreed and put her heart back in her stomach.
The family of three is very satisfied with Lin Qing. The Lin family has lived in the town for generations and has a good reputation. There is an older brother and older sister above Lin Qing. The older brother has been separated and the older sister has married to the county seat. In addition to the two shops in the Lin family, there are more than 100 acres of land in the countryside, which can be regarded as a wealthy family in the town.
When the request was made, the Lin family wanted to marry their daughter-in-law earlier, but the Zhao family wanted to keep their daughter-in-law for two more years. In the end, a compromise was adopted and the wedding date was set to the autumn of the second year.
After the marriage was decided, Aunt Zhao began to embroider the dowry with her daughter. Rao is that Shen Ling is a quiet temper. After staying at home for more than a month, he can’t stay anymore.
It just so happened that Zhao Gang came over and gave them some fresh mackerel, the fishing boat left by Zhao’s family was rented by him, and the wind came and rained every day. It’s just that he has no experience after all, and sometimes comes to Zhao’s house to ask Father Zhao some questions.
While Aunt Zhao gave Zhao Gang a meal, Shen Ling ran away.
It happened to be the fair in the town that day, and Shen Ling picked some small accessories from some stalls while taking a break. When passing a small stall, she fancy a pair of white jade earrings. Although the texture of the white jade is not good, the shape is very unique.
Shen Ling was about to ask the stall owner for the price, and suddenly remembered that he was in a hurry when he consciously left the house and didn’t have time to bring his purse with money. As for space, although there are some valuable things, there is no money.
She put down the pair of white jade earrings in her hand, and continued to wander around.
After half an hour, Shen Ling guessed that Aunt Zhao would be angry if she didn’t go back, and returned along the same path.
Back home, Zhao Gang and Father Zhao were drinking, Shen Ling touched the room and said good things to make Zhao Auntie smile. It’s just that in the future, Aunt Zhao will take Shen Ling more closely, and will easily prevent her from going out, always saying that she is the person who fixed her relationship, and it is not good to show her face outside.
Shen Ling had to stay at home every day, making shoes and embroidering patterns, but she had practiced good needlework, which was a surprise.
Sometimes when she was tired from sewing, Shen Ling went to the small garden to stroll around. In addition to impatiens, the small garden also has common flowers such as rose roses. Shen Ling is also fine, so he makes some dried flower teas for later use.
In her expectation, the days finally slipped into the autumn of the second year.
Although she hadn’t been a daughter-in-law before, it was the first time that she was married in a respectful manner. When I got up early, when Aunt Zhao brought the glutinous rice balls, even though she had a bad appetite, Shen Ling forced herself to eat a few, but she didn’t dare to drink the soup.
Next, she combed her hair, washed her face, and put on clothes. When Shen Ling was sitting in the sedan chair, she was still thinking about why she suddenly felt abandoned by Father Zhao and Aunt Zhao.
After praying to the world and making trouble in the bridal chamber, after everyone had dispersed, only Shen Ling and Lin Qing were left in the room. Shen Ling sat there without speaking. There was a local custom that after entering the bridal chamber, the bride could not speak before the bridegroom did not speak.
Fortunately, Shen Ling was not a talkative person. She sat there quietly, staring at the embroidered shoes in front of her in a daze. I heard people say that it hurts the first time, and I don’t know if it is true.
She was thinking about it, and suddenly a big hand appeared in the diagonal thorn, and there was a pair of white jade earrings on the hand.
Shen Ling couldn’t help looking at the owner of the big hand.
Lin Qing smiled shyly: “Do you like it?”
Shen Ling smiled and said, “Are you there at the time?”
Lin Qing said embarrassedly: “I’m right behind you. Seeing you pick up this pair of earrings and look at it for a long time, I know you like it very much.”
Shen Ling said: “I wanted to buy it at the time. It’s a pity that it came out in a hurry and forgot to bring the money.”
After the two chatted a few words, someone outside asked Lin Qing to go out to toast.
After Lin Qing left, someone came to deliver food to Shen Ling. Two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and a bowl of steaming noodle soup.
Shen Ling had only eaten a few glutinous rice **** from early morning until now, and was already hungry. At the moment, the noodle soup is completely eaten, and a lot of vegetables are also eaten.
She hadn’t taken down the food here, and Lin Qing’s mother came in. She smiled and asked Shen Ling if she was full and if she wanted to wash her face.
Shen Ling still had bridal makeup on her face, and when she heard that, she nodded shyly.
Mother Lin called out, and a helper brought in the washbasin. Shen Ling washed his face, and with the help of Mother Lin, he loosened the complicated bun and put on a simple bun.
After Mother Lin left, Shen Ling sat down for a while before Lin Qing came in. He had some alcohol on his body, but his eyes were sober, he didn’t know if he had a good amount of alcohol or he didn’t drink much.
With the previous chat, Lin Qing was more familiar with the attitude when he came in this time. He first asked Shen Ling if she had eaten. After knowing that she had eaten and washed her face, he blushed and said, “Then we will rest. Right!”
Shen Ling was a little nervous at first, but when she found that the other party was more nervous than her, the tension in her heart could not help but let go.
After the two were lying side by side on the bed, Lin Qing did not make any movement at first. Shen Ling lay on his bed and waited for a while, then quietly turned around. She listened to the other party while brewing sleepiness.
I don’t know how long it took, Lin Qing finally moved. He slowly lifted Shen Ling’s bed and pressed it carefully behind her.
His jerky movements and shy expressions all indicated that he was a novice. Shen Ling couldn’t help but teasing him. Seeing that he couldn’t find a place for a long time, and his face was flushed with anxiety, he helped him find the right position. When she first entered, Shen Ling immediately felt a tearing pain, and she motioned Lin Qing to stop. At first, Lin Qing moved slowly according to what she wanted, but couldn’t help it later, and directly pressed her to move quickly.
Shen Ling first felt the pain caused by the friction, but with Lin Qing’s movements, the pain became lighter and lighter, and then a familiar voice rang in his mind.
