At this time, his mind was thinking that if Li ‘er liked it, perhaps he could walk down the path of literature.

Xiao Yunjing’s house was a large courtyard with a row of three main rooms, east and west side rooms, and the front yard was also fenced.

It was the same as the Gu family’s courtyard.

Most of the houses in the village were built in this way.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled the aroma of cooking. The Xiao family was busy with their work. They were stunned when they saw them and then came to greet them.

“Aiya, Tie Zhu’s wife, this old woman has brought your daughter-in-law here.” When Mrs. Liu saw emissary Jiang come forward, she said with a smile.

“Thank you. Aunt Liu, please take a seat.”

Mrs. Liu sat down with a smile, waiting for the new daughter-in-law to finish the ceremony so that she could receive the gift of thanks.

Seeing that everyone had come out, Gu Qingli pulled the twins and called out to them. After all, they wouldn’t lose anything. She called old man Xiao “Dad “, Mrs. Jiang “Mom”, and then “Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and second sister-in-law.”

Xiao Yunjing looked at her as if she had swept through all directions, and he had gained a wave of good feelings even before entering the door.

Even Mrs. Jiang, who usually didn’t like her, was willing to agree.

Xiao Yunjing put away the basket and hoes and asked his nephews to take his two brothers-in-law out for food while he took Gu Qingli to his room.

The two of them went to Xiao Yunjing’s room in the west wing. The room was decorated with a table, a cabinet, a bed, a box, and a dressing table. All of them were newly bought and painted red.

Under the green muslin tent was a big red quilt and pillow embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Gu Qingli pursed her lips. Was Xiao Yunjing serious?

However, thanks to his thoughtfulness, these things were considered complete in this backward society.

“Change into it.” Xiao Yunjing pointed to the red wedding dress on the bed.

Then, he took his own and left.

“Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I’m coming in.”

As soon as Xiao Yunjing left, his second sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, came in with a smile.

Gu Qingli nodded. It must have been Xiao Yunjing who asked her to help her. She liked this rough man even more.

Fortunately, with Mrs. Wang’s help, it would be almost the auspicious time by the time she was done combing and dressing.

The wedding ceremony was held in the middle of the day, which was precisely 12 o ‘clock. The morning was Yang, and the afternoon was Yin. Generally, people would do the wedding ceremony in the middle of the day.

Gu Qingli put on a red veil and was led out of the main room by the matchmaker, Mrs. Liu.

At the door, Mrs. Liu roared, “The bride is in the brazier, wishing the groom and bride’s family a prosperous life, a prosperous family, and a prosperous livestock.”

After Mrs. Liu finished singing the congratulatory words, Gu Qingli lifted her skirt with her left hand and stepped over the brazier, entering the central room.

“It’s done.” Mrs. Liu held her hand and stood at a place, letting her stand correctly.

Gu Qingli stood still, and Mrs. Liu left.

“Today, the third son of the Xiao family, Yunjing, and the daughter of the Gu family, Qingli, are getting along well.”

Gu Qingli recognized the voice. It was the second master of the village.

Xiao Yunjing had invited him to preside over the wedding.

After Gu Changan’s words of blessing, the two bowed to heaven and earth, and when the ceremony was completed, Xiao Yunjing led them to the bridal chamber.

Gu Qingli sat on the bed in a daze. The wedding had been completed. Although it wasn’t a grand one, there were still some steps in between.

She had thought that Xiao Yunjing would pick her up and kowtow to her, but she didn’t expect it to be so neat.

Gu Qingli took off her veil and exhaled.

The door creaked open then, and Xiao Yunjing came in with the food. He put the food on the table and looked at her in her new wedding dress, a little absent-minded.

Beautiful! She was so beautiful.

Xiao Yunjing could always feel a calm and quiet aura from her. She didn’t have the idyllic air of a farmer’s woman nor the arrogance of a noble’s daughter, but a dignified air from the inside out. Delicate, that was the light and soft temperament.

He wanted to hold her in his arms to protect her.

Looking at her would increase a man’s desire to protect her.

“Have something to eat.”

Gu Qingli glanced at Xiao Yunjing, who looked slightly uncomfortable, and nodded.

She got up and sat on the table.

A pair of red candles were on the table, crackling as they burned.

Xiao Yunjing had brought a bowl of vegetables, a bowl of soup, and a bowl of rice.

Most of the dishes were meat. The dried meat looked tasteless, and Gu Qingli didn’t have much appetite.

Xiao Yunjing saw her go out after eating and closed the door behind her.

After lunch, old man Xiao sent the village chief off. The village chief was busy, and everyone knew he was helping Gu Dalin’s family repair their house.

In the afternoon, old man Xiao also let boss Xiao and second Xiao go over to help repair the house.

When the two saw that the others were helping to repair their house, they also took Xiao Yunjing’s three nephews up the mountain to dig for herbs.

The three kids were not much different in age from the two, so they could get along well.

As for Xiao Yunjing, he naturally sent away the happy Mrs. Liu, who also packed a few bowls of leftover meat.

Good fellow, this meat was so fat, Mrs. Liu ran back all the way, sucking and sucking, and let her man and child have a meal.

Gu Qingli had been in the room the whole afternoon, so Xiao Yunjing told her to rest in the afternoon.

It wasn’t convenient to enter her interspace under other people’s eyes, and she had nothing to do, so Gu Qingli had to walk around the house.

She went to the corner of the room and saw an immaculate old wooden box. She opened it and saw that it was full of books.

Gu Qingli picked up a book and opened it. It was the fist technique manual.

If she didn’t understand the manual, she would put it down and turn to the other books.

Gu Qingli was a bit surprised after reading them one by one. These books couldn’t be ordinary. Some of them were on governing a country, and some were on medical science.

The rest were all martial arts manuals.

Gu Qingli sneered in her mind. The Xiao family was indeed not as simple as they looked.

Which farmer would have these books? It was obvious that these books were frequently read.

Gu Qingli took the medical books and put the others back. She had nothing to do in the afternoon so she would read them.

As for literacy, the host knew a few in her memory, but not many.

In the past, the third Gu brother and the two sons of the eldest branch would come back every day after school. Sometimes, they would read in the yard. The original owner loved to sneak over and take a look.

Madam Hua even beat her up for this. Of course, it was those three bastards who complained.

Gu Qingli was reading the book of a thousand medicines, which recorded all the herbs and prescriptions.

It was similar to the medicine manual in her space but was not as complete as the medicine manual.

The pharmacological book included all the Chinese medicines and prescriptions. The Scripture of a thousand drugs could not be compared to it.

However, he had already mastered all the knowledge in the Scripture of a thousand medicines, and his level was similar to doctor Shen’s. It was not a problem for him to treat ordinary and common diseases.

Once he encountered a complicated illness, he could not do it.

Gu Qingli flipped through the thousand herbs Scripture and read the other three.

The other book was the poison Sutra. This poison manual wasn’t the poison manual in the space. It only recorded over a hundred types of common poisonous plants and insects.
