Chapter 22 Preparing for the Wedding

"Why did my cousin come to the market today?"

"I came here with Brother Liu..." Lin Shiqi said.

As she said that, she turned around and came to Liu Mo, "Brother Liu, this is my cousin, Zhou Zhushan."

Zhou Zhushan walked forward with a smile on his face, bowed and said, "Brother Liu Xian, you are well."

Liu Mo adjusted his mood and forced out a smile: "Brother Zhou, what a coincidence."

"Brother Liu, do you know my cousin?"

"We have a connection in Rongcheng." Liu Mo said.

"After that day, I missed Liu Xiandi very much." Zhou Zhushan said.

"The same goes for my little brother."

"Haha, if that's the case, why don't you and I find a quiet place and have a drink?"

"I'm extremely sorry. I have something to do today. If I have the chance, I will have a drink with Brother Zhou someday."

"Brother Liu, does the old lady need you to do something?" Lin Shiqi was surprised.

"Yes…"

Seeing Liu Mo's expression, she immediately understood that her fiancé did not want to deal with Zhou Zhushan.

Although she didn't know the reason, she didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

"Haha, I have to give up then." Zhou Zhushan said.

"Master Zhou, my young lady and Mr. Liu will go to Rongcheng after they get married. You will have many opportunities to meet each other then," Yuan'er said.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Mo's face turned dark. Lin Shiqi quickly grabbed Yuan'er and signaled her to shut up!

"Oh? That's great!" Zhou Zhushan said, "Ha, Mr. Zhou would like to congratulate brother Liu Xian for marrying such a lovely wife of my cousin. Alas, it's a pity that I, Mr. Zhou, don't have such a blessing. My marriage proposals were rejected by the old lady many times.

You refuse."

Liu Mo frowned, you guy said this in front of me, what is your purpose?

The men of the Great Xia Dynasty were full of disgust towards women who did not have their feet bound, presumably because their real purpose was to covet Lin Yuan's property.

Looking up, he saw Zhou Zhushan's expression. Although it was subtle, Liu Mo caught it: murderous intent!

This guy, I'm blocking his way, and he wants to deal with me!

Lin Shiqi looked a little embarrassed and said: "I have always regarded you as my cousin..."

"Haha, it's a joke, don't take it seriously." Zhou Zhushan clasped his fists, "I won't disturb you two and say goodbye."

"See you later."

After Zhou Zhushan walked away, Liu Mo asked: "Shiqi, which relative of yours is Zhou Zhushan?"

"My cousin is my uncle's grandson (Lin Yuan's biological uncle)." Lin Shiqi replied, "The old lady is his father's biological aunt."

"Oh." Liu Mo suddenly realized, "Sure enough, they are Mrs. Zhou's family."

"Yuan'er, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future." Lin Shiqi complained to Yuan'er.

She had followed Mrs. Zhou since she was a child, and she naturally learned to observe words and emotions.

Her fiancé was very disgusted with Zhou Zhushan, and she had already seen it.

At the same time, Lin Shiqi herself did not have much favorable impression of Zhou Zhushan.

The reason is that when Zhou Zhushan was a child, he had the same character as the men of the Xia Dynasty, and often laughed at his "big feet."

Later this week, Zhushan seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He suddenly tried hard to please Lin Shiqi, and when he asked, he found out that he wanted to marry her.

Lin Shiqi was not stupid, and naturally knew that Zhou Zhushan did not love her, but just wanted to inherit Lin Yuan's family property.

Which girl's family would have love for such a cousin.

"Yuan'er realizes his mistake."

"It's okay, just be careful next time."

Girls forget quickly, and soon they were wandering around the market happily.

But Liu Mo frowned.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Zhou Zhusheng, but his identity made Liu Mo very embarrassed.

Are you arguing with Mrs. Zhou and her family? Where can she put her face?

The two girls were chattering all the way, while Liu Mo tried hard to adjust his mentality and walked happily with them all morning.

Near noon, the Lin family's servants came to the market to look for the four people to return home.

Lin Shiqi then went back with some reluctance.

After lunch, Mrs. Zhou ordered someone to find a fortune teller to tell the birth dates of Liu Mo and Lin Shiqi.

Liu Mo was born on the 21st hour of the twelfth lunar month of the Wuchen year and was born in the year of Dragon. Lin Shiqi was born on the 19th hour of the twelfth lunar month in the Jisi year and was born in the year of the Snake.

Judging from their zodiac signs alone, the two of them are already compatible. The fortune teller is even more aware of words and expressions, and when he makes calculations with his forward finger, he strokes his beard and laughs.

"Mr. Liu and Miss Lin are a match made in heaven. In the future, they will surely get along well as husband and wife, fill the villa with money and animals, raise children with famous names, and share the same bed with glory and wealth."

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and said: "There will be rewards for many things."

Next, everyone in the Lin Mansion started to get busy.

Decorate a new house, put up lanterns and colors, and buy a dowry.

Liu Mo happened to have four thousand taels he got from Feng Xue Qian. The betrothal gifts, three golds, matchmakers, etc. were all arranged according to the customs of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The groom's attire was also custom-made by the best tailor in Laiyang City that afternoon.

The sedan chair, three books and six etiquettes, etc. are naturally not left out.

Everything was ready and eight or nine days had passed.

During these days, the two of them met often.

On the tenth day, according to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, the bride could not see the groom again before getting married.

The two of them spent the night admiring the moon in the garden of Lin Mansion and talked very late.

Liu Mo once again made Lin Shiqi smile with his good eloquence.

But somehow, Lin Shiqi started crying without any warning.

Liu Mo panicked and quickly asked the reason.

Lin Shiqi explained the reason, "Brother Liu, ordinary men in the Great Xia Dynasty laugh at me for not having 'foot-binding'. Many people are greedy for my Lin family's property. I have lived a very hard life for the past ten years..."

"If you ask me, footbinding is a bad habit that tortures the body to satisfy the desire for dominance of corrupt literati."

"Do you really think so? Husband..."

"Hey, you changed your name to me husband so quickly?"

Lin Shiqi's face turned red, "Actually, according to the rules of Daxia, you have to change your words after making a marriage decision."

"Haha, it's not too late to call now."

"Husband, I am very worried."

"How do you say this?"

"Husband, you are... so outstanding." Lin Shiqi said, "Whether it is literary talent, character, courage, intelligence, or coaxing girls!!!"

When she said a few words about coaxing girls, Lin Shiqi's voice suddenly became lower.

Of course Liu Mo could hear what she meant.

So he reached out and took Lin Shiqi into his arms: "I am lucky to have such a beautiful and gentle wife like you." He said, "You are enough. I, Liu Mo, don't like three wives and four concubines."

This simple sentence made Lin Shiqi blush. The affection between her eyebrows was even more intense.

Liu Mo couldn't help but lower his head and let out a sigh.

This is not the first time Liu Mo has done this kind of thing. Lin Shiqi's first kiss was snatched away by Liu Mo on the first day of dating.

She still never forgets that night.

However, after all, she is still a perfect young lady.

Lin Shiqi's eyes suddenly widened and she buried her head in Liu Mo's chest in shame.

If he hadn't taken into account the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty, Liu Mo would have wanted to take off his equipment right now and fight Lin Shiqi for a night as a landlord.

Thinking of this, Liu Mo's body reacted directly somewhere.

When Lin Shiqi saw it, she immediately blushed and was slapped in the face.

"Husband, you are kidding me again. How can a man not be fond of women?" she said, "I don't care if you marry other women. If your husband doesn't dislike it, why don't you marry the man as a concubine as well?"
