On the fifteenth day of the first month of the year of Xinsi, the town of Daofeng was very lively.

The gate of the Chen Family Ancestral Hall in Chenzhuang is even more lively.

"The bride gets off the sedan chair!"

With the loud shouts of the companion mother, the firecrackers outside the sedan chair rang out, and Lin Jinzhu got down from the sedan chair.

Looking around from the hem of the red hijab, she felt a group of children rushing out of all directions, and together with some little daughters-in-law who were watching the excitement, they threw the dried longan cores, persimmon cores, peanuts and other small things in their hands towards her.

Lin Jinzhu is not afraid of longan cores, small persimmon cores and peanuts, because these don't hurt when thrown on her body, anyway, the bride who got married in Daofeng Town has to go through this experience, and she is afraid that what she throws is small stones. In the wedding ceremony in Daofeng Town, those who threw grains and peanuts at the bride's head had the intention of praying for blessings and driving away evil spirits, but some people also took the opportunity to make a fuss and secretly threw small stones at the bride and threw the bride to the point of bleeding! In the countryside, this kind of thing often happens.

Through the hazy red hijab, she fixed her eyes on the shoes she had made herself to walk in front. The person wearing those shoes is called Chen Lisong, and he will be his husband in the future.

Chen Lisong is now wearing a long gown that he will only wear when he gets married, and his steps are vigorous, and he is taking Lin Jinzhu to the ancestral hall of the Chen family, and he is about to marry her.

Two mischievous children suddenly became strange, and in their sly eyes, they threw a few small objects at the bride's head.

Chen Lisong saw that those small objects were thrown very quickly, it seemed that they should not be longan cores, small persimmon cores and peanuts and other things, and he saw that after the two mischievous children threw small objects, they were secretly happy with their hands clenched into fists to protect their chins, knowing that there must be no good thing.

Seeing that those small things were about to be thrown on the bride's head, Chen Lisong immediately reached out to pick them up!

I only heard a few crisp crashing sounds of "click", and those small things that were thrown were grabbed by Chen Lisong one by one!

Sure enough, it was a few small stones! If it was thrown on Lin Jinzhu's head, it would definitely be a red envelope!

"These two naughty ghosts! Brother Lisong will return it to you now!"

Chen Lisong pretended to raise his hand to throw the small stone back at the two children, so that they ran away in a panic.

Lin Jinzhu, who was under the red hijab, heard the sound and the voice, and knew that Chen Lisong, who was about to become her husband, was so for her, so she was naturally happy, and followed Chen Lisong into the Chen family ancestral hall.

As soon as she entered the ancestral hall of the Chen family, she immediately heard the voice of her brother Lin Sancai in her mother's village.

"Chen Lisong, you wait!" Lin Sancai crossed Lin Jinzhu and whispered directly to Chen Lisong's ear.

After hearing this, Chen Lisong shouted to the hall: "Dad, come over for a moment." ”

After Lin Sancai finished speaking, he left the Chen Family Ancestral Hall.

Lin Jinzhu didn't know what was going on, and the Chen family ancestral hall suddenly seemed to be quiet, no one began to preside over the wedding ceremony, no one spoke to the bride, and no one told him whether he should continue to stand or find a place to sit.

Because she couldn't speak before she got married, she didn't dare to ask, so she stood there until her companion came to help her.

But she could feel it: the man who was protecting her just now was not in the ancestral shrine now!

Two months ago, that is, in November of Gengchen's year, Chen Zhuang's matchmaker came to the house to say goodbye, saying that Chen Ruyi of Chen Zhuang had a pair of children, the elder brother was called Chen Lisong, and the younger sister was called Chen Songmei, so she could make two pairs with her two brothers and sisters.

Chen Lisong passed by Lin Jiazhai when he went hunting in Fengshan, and she had seen it before she got married, even if the matchmaker didn't say that their family would marry his sister to her brother Lin Jinshun, she was willing to marry her, so the soles of the shoes he was wearing now were seriously accepted for three days.

She decided that Chen Lisong had a more important point, which was his diligence.

At the beginning of the previous year, a group of people like Daoxia also appeared on Fengshan Mountain, and the town office was afraid that the Chen family father and son would be banditized by the people on Fengshan Mountain, so they gave them a piece of land by the Tianjiang River.

What kind of land is that? Daofeng Town blows several or even a dozen typhoons every year, and as soon as the wind blows, the water of the Tianjiang River rises, and naturally it floods that land. A field that is flooded all year round will not yield a good harvest if you plant anything, so no one wants that land for hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, last year, the Chen family came to come to see their relatives, and after they settled down to change their sister-in-law, they actually sent a whole bag of grain!

It turned out that the Chen family father and son were not in a hurry to plant after getting the land, but dug up the silt from the Tianjiang River, and quarried soil and stones from the side of the Fengshan Mountain, filled in the land, and thickened and heightened the ridges. Hard work pays off. Last year, more than a dozen typhoons did not affect the harvest of the land, and because it is close to the river, irrigation is more convenient.

"Did Brother Sancai say anything bad about himself just now? Brother Sancai has lived in Tiancheng for a few years, or told him something new, he suddenly thinks I'm not good, and decides not to want me?"

I haven't seen my mother-in-law's family speak out for a long time, and now Lin Jinzhu is about to cry, in addition to being helpless, she will only think crankily.

When she was thinking about it, she heard Chen Lisong, who took the small stone for her, whisper: "Dad, be careful to make the Wannian ship, Lin Sancai has been in the city for a few years, and the news must be better than ours." ”

"Well, I hope I didn't work in vain. Let's start visiting the church now!"

"Yes, Dad. ”

Lin Jinzhu almost laughed out loud when she heard the conversation between Chen Lisong and his son, and said in her heart: "It turns out that he didn't want me, I should have done something important just now." ”

I heard Chen Ruyi ask again: "What about your Tianfu brother? Our Chen Zhuang disciple is doing a happy event, if he is not there, what about Li Tiezhu?"

"Master, I'm behind you!" Li Tiezhu responded, running from behind Chen Ruyi to the Chen family's father and son.

"Tiezhu, go and invite Master Tianfu to come over! Remember, you have to call him Master, and you can't lose etiquette. ”

"Don't worry, master. Li Tiezhu responded briskly, and in an instant, he had left the ancestral hall and ran to invite someone.

Chen Ruyi turned around and asked the companion mother, "Companion grandmother, are we going to start worshipping?"

The companion mother hurriedly said: "It's been half an hour since the good day, let's start when everyone arrives!"

"The crowd will be there in no time. ”

Chen Ruyi's daughter-in-law answered and asked, "Will it be unlucky to visit the church after the hour?"

"It's not good after all, but I think the owner should have something urgent just now, and there is no way to do it. ”

So everyone moved tables and chairs, and rearranged offerings, just waiting for Li Tiezhu to call Chen Tianfu to start.

Nearly half an hour passed, and Chen Tianfu was late.

Chen Tianfu is a man in his forties, holding a civilized stick in his hand, and when he entered the ancestral shrine, he commanded: "Chen Ruyi, then let's start! Incense! Father-in-law and mother-in-law take a seat!"

Chen Ru thought that Chen Tianfu had come, nodded to him, and immediately turned back to the companion and said, "The elders are here, let's start." ”

Then he took his daughter-in-law, lit incense on the incense table, and sat down after four bows.

Their family is just an ordinary peasant family, so naturally they can't afford to hire a master of ceremonies to preside over the wedding, and now they invite Chen Tianfu, the most famous person in Chen Zhuang, to be the wedding master of ceremonies, which is already very face-saving.

The companion mother was also busy, and shouted again: "Okay! The bridegroom and the bride, come, stand here!"

Chen Lisong and Lin Jinzhu stood in front of Chen Ruyi and his wife on the left and right according to the instructions of the companion mother, and the men and women were ready to kneel.

Chen Tianfu commanded Chen Ruyi's apprentice Li Tiezhu again: "Tiezhu, set off firecrackers!"

"Okay!" Li Tiezhu took a string of firecrackers from the incense case, picked up a lit incense, and went to the gate of the ancestral shrine.

"Wait! You can't worship yet!"

As he spoke, a group of men in police uniforms rushed into the Chen Family Ancestral Hall and blocked Li Tiezhu at the gate.
