Chapter 201: Covering one's ears and stealing the bell
Xiao Ran sat next to Su Xiaoxiao, leaned his head on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder, with an expression as if it was his due.
"We'll be getting married in a few days, and I'll have to call you 'wife' sooner or later, so I'll just call you that to get used to it!"
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her finger and poked Xiao Ran's forehead.
"You have so many reasons!"
"hey-hey!"
Looking at Xiao Ran acting coquettishly, Su Xiaoxiao's mouth corners slightly raised.
In such a special situation, Xiao Ran being happy is more important than anything else.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was five days before the wedding day.
Early that morning, Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Wanzhu moved into the newly bought house.
When they got married, Xiao Ran set out from Meng Ruyan's villa to pick up Su Xiaoxiao at her newly bought house.
The two returned to Meng Ruyan's villa to finish the wedding, leaving Su Xiaoxiao to rest in the bridal chamber, while Xiao Ran invited guests to Youfenglai Restaurant for the wedding banquet.
Youfenglai Restaurant is going to hold a three-day banquet.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Wanzhu arrived at the house, Xiao Ran came with Donglai and two maids.
He said to Su Xiaoxiao, "These are two personal maids that our grandfather personally selected for you from among the maids around him. They are responsible for your daily life and etiquette."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect Meng Zhengxin to be so thoughtful.
Two maids came forward and saluted Su Xiaoxiao.
"Your servant Zhuier greets the young lady!"
"Your servant Dieyi greets the young lady!"
The two maids were dignified and polite, with outstanding temperament, worthy of being maids from the capital.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand and gestured, "Get up!"
"Yes!"
Su Xiaoxiao called Qingju in and took two maids out to familiarize herself with the situation in the mansion.
Xiao Ran tilted his head towards Donglai, and Donglai hurriedly put the box in his hand next to Su Xiaoxiao.
"what is this?"
Xiao Ran pulled a chair and sat next to Su Xiaoxiao.
"You'll know if you open it and take a look!"
"So mysterious! What's that?"
Su Xiaoxiao said as she opened the box. Inside was a newly made bright red wedding dress and a beautiful headpiece.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
"This……"
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "It looks good, doesn't it?"
"nice!"
"Do you like it?"
"like!"
"I'll wear it on my wedding day! I want everyone to know that I married the best, most beautiful woman in the world!"
Su Xiaoxiao blushed and patted Xiao Ran.
"Hate it, there are outsiders here, what are you talking about!"
Xiao Ran looked back at Donglai and didn't take it seriously.
"What's the matter? I'm praising my wife, who dares to object?"
"Oh, it would be so embarrassing if someone heard it!"
"What's wrong with that? I think it's great!"
Donglai pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was shy, he immediately covered his ears and turned around.
"I heard nothing, I saw nothing!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
This story of stealing the bell while covering one's ears was performed perfectly!
While the two were talking, Liu Fugui and his son arrived.
After delivering the soy sauce, the two men came over and asked Su Xiaoxiao if there was anything she needed their help with.
Su Xiaoxiao has already hired servants, and everything in the house is taken care of by the servants. In addition, Xiao Ran has also arranged a lot of people to help, so there are enough manpower.
Su Xiaoxiao declined politely, "Uncle Fugui, I don't need any help here. When you return to the village, please inform everyone that I will be resting for four days starting the day before my wedding."
Liu Fugui agreed, "Okay!"
"Please, Uncle Fugui, inform my third uncle's family, Uncle Jiang's family, Aunt Lin's family, and the village chief. If you have nothing to do the day before my wedding, you can come live in the house and become my in-laws!"
Liu Fugui nodded vigorously.
"When a woman gets married, the more family members she has, the better. Don't worry, I will definitely notify them."
"You and Dazhuang are coming too!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Xiaoxiao, even if you don't tell us, we will definitely come."
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't need help, Liu Fugui took Liu Dazhuang away.
After taking two steps, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something and called Liu Fugui.
"Uncle Fugui, wait a minute!"
Liu Fugui and his father turned around and asked, "What else?"
"Go back to the village and remember to tell the villagers that we will come back to the village to hold a banquet to entertain everyone after we are done here!"
"Hey, okay!"
After Liu Fugui and his son left, Xiao Ran took out another letter.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "A letter from Divine Doctor Xue?"
"Ok!"
"Did you tell him about our marriage?"
"I did notify him, but he can't come!"
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Why?"
"He said he was treating Cheng En and it was inconvenient for him to go out, so he didn't come!"
"So, Cheng'en can't come either?"
"Ok!"
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little lost, and Xiao Ran comforted her: "Don't be sad!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's okay. Cheng'en's illness can be cured. That's better than anything else."
Xiao Ran grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand and looked at her with heartache.
Su Xiaoxiao is a girl. Her father died early and her younger brother is no longer around. When she got married, there was no man in the family. She had to take care of everything by herself, and now she has to put on a forced smile. How can one not feel sorry for her?
"Don't worry, I'm here, you don't have to worry about anything! Just wait patiently to become your bride!"
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao's mouth rose slightly, revealing an unnatural smile.
……
Su's Restaurant received a letter.
Jiang Lanlan looked at the words on the letter and recognized it as a letter from Lan Ling. She quickly put down the work in her hands and ran towards Su Xiaoxiao's house.
The door of the house was open. Jiang Lanlan stepped over the high threshold and ran towards Su Xiaoxiao's room.
After passing through the corridor, she bumped into a thick wall of people at the corner.
"Ouch!"
Her forehead hurt so much that she raised her hand to support it and took a few steps back.
The other person was not hurt and his body paused slightly.
After seeing that the other person was a young woman, he asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Lanlan looked up at the other person and recognized him as the gatekeeper Peng Xuemin.
"It turns out to be Brother An!"
When he came to the house before, Peng Xuemin opened the door for Jiang Lanlan, and both of them had an impression of him.
"Miss Jiang! It's my fault. I didn't look where I was going. Did I hurt you?"
Jiang Lanlan waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm in a hurry to send a letter to Xiaoxiao!"
She looked at her hand again and found that the letter was gone.
"Oh, where's the letter?"
When the two of them bumped into each other just now, she accidentally dropped the letter in her hand.
Peng Xuemin started looking immediately.
Fortunately, I found it under a nearby tree.
He wiped the envelope with his hand.
"Fortunately it's not dirty! Miss Jiang, please keep it!"
Jiang Lanlan took the envelope and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Brother An!"
"You're welcome!"
Because she was in a hurry to deliver the letter, Jiang Lanlan ran towards Su Xiaoxiao's room.
Peng Xuemin continued to walk towards the door. He was going to return to his post and continue guarding the gate.
At this moment, County Magistrate Cui and Cui Boxian arrived at the gate with gifts.
When Cui Boxian announced his identity, Peng Xuemin's pupils shrank slightly.
He is a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and the person who comes to his house is the county magistrate of Changming County. Will he be recognized by the other party?
