Chapter 5 White Handkerchief

The number of copper plates in the purse was small, probably only a dozen. The dowry was so shabby, and when he thought of the little girl's rough hands, Xia Yuan could imagine that this girl's life in Zhao Fugui's family was not easy.

He even suspected that these dozen copper coins were saved from between her teeth and kept as a dowry.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little confused and was about to refuse. When he raised his head, he met the timid eyes of the little girl.

Dusk has arrived at this time, and the candles have not yet been lit in the room, making the room seem a bit dim.

But he could clearly see the hope in the little girl's timid eyes, which were bright and seemed to be shining.

This made Xia Yuan unconsciously swallow the words that came to his lips.

And he could see that this little girl really wanted to give herself this dowry that she thought was very valuable. For this girl, she married herself, so everything she had was hers.

.

He breathed a sigh of relief, met the little girl's expectant eyes, reached out to take the purse, and said softly: "Okay, I'll keep it for you first."

"Um!"

Seeing Xia Yuan take it, Zhao Yuerong smiled happily, and sweet little pear dimples bloomed on his cheeks again.

Looking at it, Xia Yuan couldn't help but want to touch her little head. At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that maybe accepting the little girl's dowry was not just as simple as accepting these ten or twenty copper coins, but also represented

It seems that I have completely accepted this little daughter-in-law.

Upon thinking of this, Xia Yuan thought for a while and said: "You should be able to tell that my family is not as wealthy as yours, and I am a scholar. I have just been locked in my room and immersed in reading these years. To be honest,

I don’t know how to do any farm work like tilling, hoeing, sowing and fertilizing, so.”

Speaking of this, Xia Yuan paused and his expression turned serious.

"So if you follow me, you may have to endure hardships."

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Zhao Yuerong's expression suddenly became serious. She opened her small mouth and said seriously: "I am not afraid of hardship, husband. I will work hard. I will do all the work at home. As long as you are good, husband

Just study well."

"You don't have to do it alone, we will do it together when the time comes."

Faced with her proposal, Xia Yuan directly shook his head and rejected it. It was unbearable for such a small and skinny little girl to put all the work on her.

As for working, it was really a helpless move. As a time traveler who suddenly traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he had no idea what to do next. He could only go down according to the trajectory first, and then slowly go down.

Slowly think about the next way out.

"This, how is this possible? My husband is a scholar, a scholar."

"Don't always be a scholar. There is a saying that a scholar is useless, and a scholar is the most useless."

"No, scholars are very good."

Zhao Yuerong rarely started to argue. At this point, he blushed and muttered: "Husband, my husband is also very powerful."

Faced with the little girl's flattery, Xia Yuan was speechless. In this era where everything is considered low-grade and only high-level students are educated, scholars are indeed very powerful. Why are they so powerful? Because scholars can gain fame and become officials.

He also wanted to be an official, but he really had no confidence in the imperial examination, so he could only become a useless scholar.

"Okay, scholars are very good, you are very good at work, we are all very good." Xia Yuan did not argue with her on this issue anymore, but stretched out his hand to touch her little head, inadvertently using the method of teasing children.

tone.

"I, my husband, I'm not great."

Faced with Xia Yuan's actions, Zhao Yuerong's cheeks blushed even more, and he couldn't even speak clearly for a while.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan laughed again. He looked out the window. At this time, the last ray of the sunset had quietly passed away, and the sky outside had turned completely dark.

It's summer now, so it gets dark later.

It should be around eight o'clock in the evening now.

Of course, there was no watch in the Ming Dynasty, so this time was estimated by Xia Yuan.

In ancient times, when it got dark, it meant going to bed. Not to mention the ancient people, even the older generation in many remote mountainous areas in modern times still retain the lifestyle of sleeping at sunset.

"Are you sleepy? If so, go to bed first."

With that said, Xia Yuan got up and found the fire folding piece and lit the red candles in the room one by one, and the fire began to flicker.

When Zhao Yuerong behind him heard these words and saw the lit red candles one by one, his blushing face suddenly showed embarrassment. He was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hands.

Does your husband mean to have sex with you?

Thinking of this, she felt her heart pounding fiercely. She looked uneasily at the red quilt and red curtains covering the wedding bed.

He looked back at Xia Yuan and saw that Xia Yuan was squatting in front of the cabinet, rummaging for something.

He must be looking for a white handkerchief.

With this thought in her mind, she quietly took out a white handkerchief from her arms. This was secretly given to her by Aunt Wang, who worked at home, when she got married.

My aunt also said that she should put this square veil under her body during the wedding ceremony.

The little girl blushed, her heart pounded, and she was thinking wildly. Finally, she hesitated, reached out and took off her red wedding dress.

Once the red wedding dress was removed, she was left with only her underwear and pants. Facing this last barrier, she reached out several times, but in the end she didn't have the courage to take it off again.

She simply slipped into bed and decided to leave the last piece of clothing to her husband to take off.

Xia Yuan was rummaging through the cabinet, planning to find a bedding and sleep in another room.

Hearing the rustling noise behind him, he couldn't help but look back, and then saw the little girl wrapped in a quilt, leaving only a pair of big eyes looking at him.

It's just that those eyes look a little shy.

As soon as he made eye contact with Xia Yuan, the light in Zhao Yuerong's eyes trembled suddenly. He quickly reached out and pulled up the quilt, suffocating himself in it. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage and spoke with a trembling voice.

: "Husband, husband, I, I have a veil here."

"Paja, what kind of veil?" Xia Yuan was startled.

"It's just a white veil."

"oh."

Xia Yuan frowned and thought for a while, but still didn't understand what this white handkerchief was, so he simply said vaguely.

Hearing this soft sound, Zhao Yuerong suddenly felt that Xia Yuan was coming to have sex with her, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

It was dark under the quilt, she couldn't see anything, and she was a little panicked. She could clearly feel that her face was burning, and it felt very hot.

After a moment of silence, she thought of something again, bit her lip and whispered, "Husband, husband, can you blow out the candle?"

I always feel shy with the candle light on.

"Aren't you afraid of the dark?"

Xia Yuan looked around and subconsciously regarded this little wife as a child, so he had no intention of blowing out the candles because he was worried that she would be afraid of the dark at night.

"I'm not afraid, is my husband afraid?"

"Of course I'm not afraid either."

Xia Yuan held the bedding he found in his arms, stood up and blew out the candles one by one. After thinking about it, he still left one. With the faint firelight, he looked at the small ball of bedding that was slightly bulging on the bed.

, "If nothing happens, you can go to bed early."

With that said, he walked out the door.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuerong felt something was wrong, opened the quilt, and then saw Xia Yuan opening the door and going out.

Seeing this scene, she subconsciously shouted: "Husband, what are you going to do, aren't you going to have a wedding?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt regretful and hurriedly wrapped herself in the quilt. The blush on her cheeks quickly spread to her ears.

She felt that she really shouldn't have said such a thing about wanting to have sex with her husband.

Will your husband now feel that he is a shameless wife?

Xia Yuan watched Xiao Douding swish her head into the bed, and understood that she was shy, but her shy look always made him want to laugh.

The little girl's hair hasn't even grown yet, but she's still thinking about having a bridal chamber.

"We'll talk about the bridal chamber later."

"."

no respond.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan continued: "Anyway, I'm going to sleep in another room, that's it. You go to bed early, good night."

After saying that, he hugged the quilt and pushed the door open and walked out.
