Chapter 101 It's like we've gotten married.

Shanlai built a house next to the hay yard.

It took a lot of effort.

After all, it's such a cold climate.

She first found a broker on the street, saying she wanted to buy a house and asked the broker to take her to see houses, both expensive and cheap. After looking for two whole days, she had a pretty good idea of ​​what she wanted, so she told the broker that none of them were suitable and she didn't want to look anymore. She gave the broker a generous thank-you fee and then hurriedly went home.

I don't have a home yet; I'm going back to the hayfield.

Shanlai lived with Liu Min at the hay storage yard, along with the two yamen runners.

Traveling fifty li a day, totaling two thousand five hundred li, would take two or three months. However, they arrived by the end of October, which would be too suspicious and difficult to explain. So, they decided to stay there for a while, retrieve the reply letter when the time was right, and then head back. Staying in an inn for ten or twenty days wouldn't be worthwhile, and renting a house wouldn't be worthwhile either. Fortunately, the hay storage area was large enough with plenty of houses, enough to accommodate a few more people.

This benefits Shanlai.

After visiting the house, I drew up plans. Although they couldn't compare to proper construction plans, they were complete and easy to explain to the craftsmen.

After buying most of the items, we chose an auspicious day to break ground.

Because she was very willing to invest, she would buy more materials at higher prices if she didn't have enough, and even asked people to demolish old houses that were no longer usable and sell them bricks and tiles to her, and she would also pay double the wages. So the house was completed in just over ten days.

Two yamen runners assisted the craftsman, and Shanlai boiled water to make tea and delivered it everywhere.

It was cold, so everything was slow to work and there was no time to wait. So we lit a stove to dry things, and it burned for two days and two nights without rest, until everything was completely dry inside and out.

On another auspicious day, Shanlai and Liumin moved into their new house with their belongings.

Shanlai and Liu Min picked out everything together. She told Liu Min, "If you like it, we'll buy it. I have plenty of money."

I bought a lot of things, and as I laid them out, the once spacious new house suddenly felt cramped.

In the warm room, there were things I liked everywhere, and people I liked were standing beside me.

This is home.

After walking such a long way, I've finally arrived home...

Overwhelmed with happiness, tears streamed down her face. Holding her beloved tightly, she choked back sobs as she said, "Do you remember what I told you before? A place just for the two of us, happy days... This is the life I want... Liansi, I never want to be separated from you again..."

The person she loved held her tightly, stroking her hair gently.

We're having a housewarming party!

No relatives, but acquaintances.

Two yamen runners and a family of five from a military household who were guarding the hay storage yard.

The food included both store-bought and freshly cooked dishes. The two women of the military household, the wife and daughter, were both excellent cooks. Shanlai learned a great deal from them and kept praising them, which made her mother and daughter smile. Her mother even whispered to Shanlai that her husband was actually the best cook in her family, but he rarely cooked. She added, "I may be lazy, but at least I can cook. As for you, girl, it's obvious you can't do anything. You can't lift a finger, you can't carry anything heavy, you can't rely on him." Shanlai spoke well of Liu Min, saying he could do many things and wasn't someone who couldn't be relied on. The woman smiled and said the young couple were truly loving.

Upon hearing this, Shanlai's face turned so red it was almost bleeding, as if she had drunk too much alcohol. Moreover, it was burning hot, making her head spin in waves, making her look even more like she was drunk.

It was quite dark, and they had drunk enough, so the group said goodbye and returned to the hay yard.

Shanlai and Liu Min escorted them to the door, and only after they turned away and could no longer see them did they close the door and go back inside.

As soon as Liu Min entered the room, he rolled up his sleeves and began tidying up, very seriously, without saying a word.

When Shanlai saw him like this, the words the woman had said to her earlier suddenly came to mind, so she said to him, "You clean this place up by yourself. I won't help you. I'm going to wash up."

He kept working, hummed in response, and said nothing more.

See? There's still hope.

Shanlai went to the bathroom to take a bath with satisfaction. After he finished bathing, he went over to take a look and found that it was indeed clean and tidy.

I really didn't expect that.

"So capable? Are you really my young master?"

The young master ignored everyone, simply sitting there, staring blankly at the wall.

Shanlai didn't know what was wrong with him, so she quickly went up and nudged him, "What's wrong with you?"

He suddenly snapped out of his daze, looked up at her intently for a moment, and then shook his head, saying it was nothing.

"Then why are you spacing out?"

"He's probably just tired."

"Then you should go soak for a while too." She pushed him toward the bathroom. "I added water, it should be hot by now. If it's not hot enough, you can wait a bit."

When Liu Min came out after washing up, Shan Lai was sitting on the heated kang in a daze. Liu Min couldn't help but ask her what was wrong.

Her voice was slightly unsteady, "There were 'double happiness' characters pasted on the windows, and firecrackers were set off during the day..." She looked at his face and said, "It's as if we're married..."

marriage.

Although there weren't fields of bright yellow and red flowers, the festive atmosphere was just as strong, wasn't it? They even entertained their guests...

"Lian Si, we're really married now, aren't we? Right?"

Liu Min was somewhat dazed. So that's how it is? He was so happy, almost at a loss for words, that he could only sit there fidgeting with his hands, staring blankly at what was in front of him...

It's because they got married.

marriage……

How could this be a wedding?

He had planned it all out. He would send a matchmaker with gifts to her home to propose marriage. The matchmaker would tell him her name and birth date, which he would then have divined. The result would surely be auspicious, because they were a match made in heaven. Then he would take that auspicious sign to her, exchange marriage certificates with her… He would choose an auspicious day, send the betrothal gifts, tell her the other auspicious day, and then on that day, he would ride a horse with a bridal sedan chair to find her…

This is what marriage should be like, not like what's happening now...

However, she had already hugged him tightly, stood on tiptoe to kiss him, just like before, even more eagerly.

She said, "Liansi, we are married today, in our home..."

She was so happy, she clung to him, her whole body trembling, her voice shaking uncontrollably, which warmed his heart.

Yes, they got married, even though he has nothing now...

It was cold outside; the ground might have frozen over, and the river might have turned to ice. But inside their home, it was warm and spring-like. They didn't feel cold, or even hot, even though they were naked.

They had all done these things before, so they were very familiar with them and knew how to make each other happy.

However, there are still quite a few that I am not familiar with.

He was in a bit of pain, while she stood there motionless, her face pale, sweat beading on her forehead.

He was sweating too. There was something wrong with her; he must have done something wrong…

No one taught him, so he made a mistake and hurt her.

"Are you feeling unwell? Don't worry, I'll go find a doctor for you right away."

He went outside and hurriedly looked for clothes to wear.

How silly.

Where are you going?

The pain had subsided, she sat up and pulled him along.

"Going to the doctor for something like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"But……"

She's bleeding.

His face turned pale instantly.

Like this...

You really can't count on him...

Even after I reached the bottom, it still hurt.

Both of them froze and didn't move.

But everyone noticed the difference.

It's different from that time.

"How are you?"

He asked her quietly.

She said, "Don't be afraid, it's always like this."

She said this.

Things got much better after that.

The room was still big, and even though the two of them were pressed together, they were still just a small bunch, taking up only a small space.

Perhaps men are just naturally gifted at this. He no longer needed her comfort; his desires ran wild, and he was lost in passion. She lay obediently in his arms, unconsciously responding to him, letting out soft breaths, even moans. He inevitably became infatuated, using even more force than before. She gradually felt the pain, but she just looked at him and smiled, lovingly stroking his face, accepting everything he gave her. She had said she was willing to sacrifice anything for him…

It was over; even her slight trembling stopped, and she was just panting.

She was flushed pink all over, like a crabapple after the rain or a peony shrouded in mist.

He looked down at her for a moment, then suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, burying his face in her neck, and asked her in a low voice, "Will you leave this time?"

He remembered that the last time she gave him that happiness was because she decided to leave.

He raised his face, looked at her, and pressed his lips tightly together.

It's so sad to see.

"Why would I leave? Didn't I just tell you that I never want to be separated from you again..."

He suddenly burst into tears, wiping them away, and said, "I feel so sorry for you. I've said so many things to you, but I haven't kept them..." He looked around, "This is no way we're getting married! It's so unfair to you..."

“But I feel great.” She raised her hand to wipe away his tears. “Actually, I’m the one who’s sorry to you…” After a moment of silence, she continued, “Back then, Young Master Li came to me and said… Although I hate them for bullying you and I’m sad for you… I may not really be a righteous person. I was actually a little happy at that time… You were in that situation, but I was happy, happy for myself. I thought, if you can’t be a young master anymore, can I be your wife… I really don’t want you to marry someone else and do this kind of thing with someone else…”

“If that’s what you think, you shouldn’t have left. I will never marry anyone else. I said I only want you… but you left, pushing me towards someone else.”

"Didn't you also push me towards He Jing? We both feel the same way about each other."

“It’s not the same!” he said angrily. “What was I like back then? What was I like when you left? Can you compare the two?”

He actually argued with her about this!

Shanlai didn't want to argue with him, so she reached out and kissed him.

He then fell silent.

Shan woke up first the next morning. It wasn't even morning yet; the window paper was so bright it was dazzling. She propped herself up and sat up, when suddenly her scalp throbbed, and she heard a muffled groan.

It wasn't posted by her.

Liu Min also woke up and sat up, covering his head.

The two people's hair was tied in knots.

It wasn't done by a kind person.

"...I'm afraid you'll sneak away."

I talked to him so much, but he still didn't believe me.

That's really a bit silly.

But she's adorably silly.

I love you so much, Liansi.

She kissed him again, unsure whether it was to reward him or to satisfy herself.

The two young people quickly became passionate in their kiss.

However……

Liu Min angrily went to untie the two people's hair that was tied together.

He couldn't untie it; he had really tied a lot of knots.

He's really stupid. I never imagined he could be stupid...

"I've never heard of anyone explaining this. Don't people usually make it specially, cut it out, and keep it?"

He suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open, like the deer they saw on their way back that day. It was stunned by the sudden sight of people, holding up one hoof and remaining motionless. What did he say back then?

Shan Lai leaned into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and laughed uncontrollably.
