The Li family's house was entered three times, and Li Mu's mother, Mrs. Lu, lived in the north house, which was the second entrance. It was the main house.

Luoshen followed Li Mu out of the east wing where the two lived, followed by Aju and the others, passed through the courtyard where the wedding banquet was held last night, and arrived in front of the North House Baosha.

She was still annoyed, seeing Li Mu walking up the steps and continuing to walk in. After a dawdling, the person fell behind him.

"Amu! Brother and sister-in-law are here!"

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the room, and the voice was full of joy.

Then, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, came the sound of crutches slamming to the ground.

"Mom, be careful, sit back quickly!"

Li Mu immediately took a few steps and made one step, stepped over the threshold, and reached out to support an old woman who was walking out of it.

Luoshen looked up and couldn't help but startled.

The old woman who came out was nearly fifty years old. She was wearing new clothes with dark flowers and azurite bottoms. Her hair was gray and neatly combed.

What surprised Luoshen was that she was leaning on a cane in her hand and tapped the ground with it, as if her eyes were a little inconvenient.

"I'll go by myself! Where's your bride? Leave me alone, go pick her up, don't leave anyone alone."

With a smile on her face, the old woman pushed Li Mu's hand away and urged in a low voice.

It turned out that Li Mu's mother Lu Shi was blind in both eyes.

Aju, Qiongshu Cherry and others were also a little surprised, stopped behind Luoshen and looked at each other.

Li Mu turned back and glanced at Luoshen.

Only then did Luoshen come back to his senses. He lifted up his skirt and quickly walked up the steps to Li Mu's mother. After hesitating for a while, he finally called out "Ajia" in a low voice. (mother-in-law)

Lu Shi was overjoyed, his hand was in the direction of Luoshen and gently touched it.

Luoshen hurriedly stretched out his hand.

The old woman's hands, which were covered with calluses, gently grasped her soft, soft hands, and then released them - both close and not too affectionate and offensive.

"What a nice voice! What a soft hand! Come in, dear boy, and stop standing outside!"

she said with a smile.

"A's family can call me Ami later. When I'm at home, Aya's mother always calls me that."

Although Li Mu was extremely hateful, the old woman in front of him couldn't make Luoshen hate him anyway.

Listening to her complimenting herself, her ears warmed and she answered softly.

"What a lovely name!"

Lu recited Ami several times, smiled, and was helped by the girl beside him back to a couch in the middle hall, and slowly sat back.

Seeing that Li Mu was still looking at him, Luoshen bit his lip, stepped over the threshold, and was led by him. The two knelt side by side on the kneeling seat in front of the old woman, and bowed to her as the bride and groom.

After Li Mu bowed, he got up first.

Aju comes up.

Luoshen took the pre-prepared jujube chestnuts and a pair of shoes and presented them as a gift.

Lu shi smiled and accepted it, and asked the girl beside her to bring the greeting gift she had prepared in advance.

Roselle accepted, thank you.

Lu called her up and asked her how hard it was on the way. After a few words of gossip, she said with a smile: "I have nothing to do here, you can go back, you don't have to stay in front of me. Jingkou is not a big place, but I used to have good eyes. At that time, I remembered that the scenery near Jinshan by the river is still good. There is a Jinshan Temple, which was built by the emperor's edict. Mu Er is at home these days. If you want to go out, just ask him to accompany you and look around. ."

"Mu'er, do you hear me, take Ami around."

Lu turned to his son's direction.

"Got it, mom."

Li Mu responded, respectfully.

Luoshen stared at him from the corner of his eyes, and immediately turned his face away when he saw that his eyes were directed towards him.

Lu felt the crutches by his hand and stood up to go back to the house. Li Mu went up to help her.

Luoshen moved his feet.

Lu Shi seemed to feel it, and smiled and waved his hand in her direction: "You must have been tired yesterday, you can go back to the house and rest."

Saying that, he called A stop.

The girl stepped up.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "She is called A Ting. She is Mu Er's sister. She is thirteen years old this year. She is familiar with this place. If you have anything you don't know, feel free to ask her."

Ah Ting's face was round and his arms were thick. When he saw Luoshen for the first time, his eyes lit up. He wanted to get close but didn't dare to. He just stood behind Lu Shi and kept looking at Luoshen secretly. When Mr. Lu mentioned himself, he walked out from behind Mrs. Lu cautiously, and said coyly, "Sister-in-law, if you don't think I'm stupid, you can send me if you have something."

Luoshen guessed that this girl should be the adopted daughter of Lu Shi. Since no one had mentioned it to her before, and was not prepared to meet her, he pulled out a gold bracelet from his wrist, walked over and said with a smile, "Why? If I have something I don't know about in the future, I will ask. you."

Ah Ting didn't dare to ask for it, and hurriedly waved his hand and stepped back.

Listening to the movement, Mrs Lu seemed to have guessed the scene and said with a smile, "Accept the greeting gift from your sister-in-law."

Ah Ting stopped just then and watched Luoshen put the beautiful gold twisted bracelet on his wrist.

Luoshen's wrist is slender, and the gold bracelet is made according to her size. Although Ah Ting was three or two years younger than her, the two were about the same size, and their arms were even thicker. The delicate bracelet was placed on her wrist, which was not very commensurate.

Ah Ting was very happy, blushed and thanked him, then turned to Li Mu, and happily raised his arm with the bracelet: "Brother, look, my sister-in-law gave it to me!"

Li Mu glanced at Luoshen, smiled and nodded at A Ting: "You go back to the house with A-sister first."

Luoshen watched Li Mu help his mother back to the back hall before returning to the house by himself.

Li Mu sent his mother back to the room, helped her sit down, turned around and poured her a cup of tea and brought it to her.

Lu Shi didn't answer, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and said: "Mu Er, tell me the truth, how on earth did you marry the daughter of Gao Xianggong's family?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Amu, why are you asking this again? Didn't I tell you before? My son sacrificed his life to save Gao Xianggong's nephew. He was grateful to me and married his daughter to me."

The Lu family was unhappy: "Do you think I'm blind, and your heart is also blind? What kind of family is the Gao family? Our Li family is now a poor family, not to mention that you saved one of his nephews, even if there are ten, the Gao family will not Willing to marry my daughter to our Li family!"

Li Mu was silent.

"A few days ago, Ah Ting and I lived here well, but your second brother Jiang suddenly took me and Ah Ting to another place to live for a few days. I was confused before, and I don't know what happened. A few days ago, I listened to the neighbors chatting, and I realized how many people came here, as if they were looking for me. I am a blind old woman, what are you looking for? I thought about it, could it be related to the marriage of the Gao family? "

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Mom, don't think too much. There will be no such thing in the future..."

"Mu'er!"

Lucy paused.

"I can't see it, but I know it clearly in my heart! I feel it, Ami is clearly not willing to marry you! This is also human nature, she is a noble girl, usually pampered and well-dressed, and suddenly married to us. What kind of people, why don't you ask her to be wronged? How can you live a good life? There are no outsiders in front of you, tell me the truth, how on earth did you marry her?"

Li Mu said vaguely: "Amu, this... It's a long story, and I can't explain it for a while... In short, my son has married you back to your daughter-in-law... Didn't you keep urging you..."

Lu Shi pondered for a moment.

She knew that the son she had raised was extremely filial, but if he didn't want to say something, he would ask him again, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ask.

She shook her head: "I can't control my son anymore. If you don't tell me, I can't do anything about it. It's not a good way to just want to come, otherwise why don't you tell me!"

Li Mu said nothing. be the default.

Lu Shi was taken aback for a moment, then sighed: "That's all! I want to tell you that it is not easy for this Gao girl to be like this morning when she came to our house. I think she is a good girl. Son! I'm really afraid of hurting her. I don't care how you married her before. Since you've married her, you have to treat her well. If you let me know that you've treated her badly, not to mention that the Gao family can't spare you, I will also Be the first to break your leg!"

Li Mu touched his nose: "My son remembers it."

A Ting was overjoyed, and followed Luoshen back to the new house.

She was in awe of the sister-in-law who came from Jiankang on a big boat. Last night, the neighbor's child entered the new house, and she didn't dare to enter, lest she would look down on herself.

Unexpectedly, she was not only beautiful, but also so kind. The original restraint quickly disappeared, and she followed Luoshen back to the house. Before Luoshen asked her anything, she firstly revealed her life experience.

It turned out that A Ting was an orphan picked up by Li Mu's mother and son on their way south ten years ago. At that time, she was only three or two years old. She fell ill on the side of the road. She didn't see her parents, and no one took care of her. The wild dogs were staring at her, and it seemed that she would not be able to survive. Lu Shi couldn't bear it, so he carried her south and survived by luck until now.

"Emam is good. When my eyes were good, he taught me to read and write. Now that I'm out, the neighbors often ask me to help them write letters for home!"

Ah Ting's tone carried a little pride, which caused several maids in the room to cover their mouths and laugh.

Ah Ting stopped for a moment, bowed his head embarrassingly, and there was a little bit of uneasiness in his eyes.

Luo Shen was unhappy and stared at the maids: "Can you write a family letter for someone else?"

The maid was taken aback and shook her head.

The maids of the Gao family serving the Luoshen, except for Qiongshu and Cherry, who are the closest to the body, are also literate and hyphenated. .

"If you can't, why are you laughing?"

The maid knew that her unintentional act annoyed the little lady, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake.

Ah Ting stood aside, a little nervous. He was about to go to help him, but Luoshen stopped him and sent the person out.

A Ting looked at Luoshen, his eyes were shining, and he became more and more worshipped.

Luoshen couldn't hold back his curiosity either. There was nothing to do, and he didn't want to sleep at the moment. He asked Ah Zhe to sit beside him and pushed a beautiful lacquer box containing various dried fruits in front of her. Said: "Since this is the case, why did Ajia's eyes lose sight later?"

Ah Ting had a piece of preserved fruit in her mouth. Hearing her asking this, he swallowed it down with a sad expression on his face.

"It happened many years ago. I just came to Jingkou at that time, it was very chaotic here, and we didn't know each other well, and we couldn't get enough to eat all day. My brother was still young at that time, he didn't join the army, and he worked as a coolie everywhere. Eminem also worked hard for people to do embroidery work. He stayed up until midnight every day, and his eyes were damaged by the oil lamp, and then he gradually became unable to see things. Afterwards, brother went to join the army, but there was news that brother After he died in battle, Eminem cried every day, and his eyes were blinded by crying. Later, when Brother came back, Eminem's eyes couldn't get better. I could see a shadow before, but in the past two years, I can't see anything."

Luoshen was stunned: "Didn't you ask your husband to see it?"

"The family has gotten better in the past few years. Brother A has invited many husbands, but they are not very good. But Eminem is very capable. Don't look at her eyesight, she has a good heart! Now she can still spin yarn, spinning It's fast and good! She can walk and cook by herself! As long as she doesn't leave things in disorder at home, she can do it."

Ah Ting returned to his cheerful appearance.

Luo Shen was silent for a moment: "Your brother is often away from home, why doesn't he hire one or two people to serve the family?"

"My brother wants to hire more people, but Eminem himself doesn't want it, saying that he doesn't need that many people in front of him. For ordinary things at home, it's enough to have me and Eminem. Aunt Jiang and the neighbors also come here from time to time. Yes. Now, there is also Lady Xie Sanniang, the female shopkeeper of Zhennanguan Restaurant, here in Jingkou, no one knows her reputation, and everyone praises her for her ability. She also visits Eminem from time to time and helps a lot!"

Ah Ting said happily.

The aunt of the Jiang family must be the Shen shi who boarded the boat yesterday to welcome her.

I just don't know what is the origin of the famous third lady of the Xie family who opened a restaurant in Zhennanguan?

Luoshen was about to ask again, when there was a sound of footsteps outside, he turned his head and saw Li Mu came back.

"Brother!"

A Ting immediately greeted him happily.

"Just now, my sister-in-law and I talked about some family affairs! My sister-in-law is very kind to me!"

Luoshen didn't want to pay attention to him. Seeing Ah Ting finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at himself happily. In front of this young lady, after all, he couldn't do anything too embarrassing, and finally stood up reluctantly.

Li Mu looked at her and seemed to hesitate for a while: "Would you like to go out and see? I have nothing to do today."

"I'm tired, so I won't go."

Luoshen said lightly.

"Sister-in-law, if you're tired, take a break. Then I'll go first, and I'll talk to you when you recover."

A stopped busy.

Luoshen smiled.

Li Mu glanced at her: "Alright, then you can rest."

Luoshen watched Ah Ting follow Li Mu and jumped out of the house.

The two figures disappeared outside the door.

"Brother, sister-in-law is so kind to me, why is she unhappy when you come?"

Ah Ting took a few steps, leaned over to Li Mu, and asked in a low voice.

Li Mu was startled, looked back and coughed slightly: "Nothing. She's just tired, she needs to take a break."
