32. Enter the door for the little brother to marry
The Liang family, who was full of joy, saw Chen Qing who came alone, and their faces were calm, and even Liang Meng, who had just reached the end of the year, lowered his face and glared at this newcomer fiercely.
Chen Qing did not squint, and walked directly in front of the Liang family, this road was the farthest road Chen Qing had ever walked, as if time was passing slowly like gum.
But no matter how far the road is, there is an end, Chen Qing stood proudly in front of Liang Zijun like an unbending green pine, and respectfully called "owner"
Liang Zijun's whole face stiffened, glared at Chen Qing and said, "You come in for me"
"Are you sure?" asked Chen Qing in surprise.
Liang Zijun gritted his teeth, in front of so many villagers, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but if he was allowed to enter the door, he would recognize this daughter-in-law, and he froze on the spot for a while and didn't know what to do.
"There are so many folks, the Liang family can't afford to lose this person, let's talk about it first," Liang Baida said in a deep voice.
"Hmph~ It's not too late to rest when the explanation is clear!" Shao Fengzhi gritted his silver teeth and was pulled by Liang Ziping, his daughter-in-law knew best what kind of temper he had, and glanced at A-Niang, who was almost angry, and said, "A-Niang, go home first"
As soon as the Liang family entered the door, firecrackers and joy sounded. Although the villagers were a little surprised, they still smiled and gave up their seats to each other and toasted to celebrate when they smelled the aroma of the food.
The Liang family mansion covers an area of nearly 5 acres, the south gate and the north hall, there is a private well dug in the middle of the patio, and there are two courtyards on the east and west sides, which is the residence of the four brothers of the Liang family.
An offering table was set up in the main hall of the Liang family, three high incense sticks were saluted on the table, a chair was slipped in the front row, and juniors stood on both sides.
Liang Zijun helped A-Niang to sit on the top, and then yelled at Chen Qing in annoyance, "Who are you?"
"Your daughter-in-law" Chen Qing looked at the man in a happy dress with a tense face. In fact, he wants to say that you are a parent worker, but this door has been entered, and it is not suitable to say that long-term work.
"The Chen Bi I want to marry is not his eldest brother! Do you think my Liang family will let a gentleman enter the door to be a daughter-in-law?" Liang Zijun's face darkened, his clenched fists squeaked, and when he said it badly, he swung it with a punch.
"Zijun, don't get angry yet, Chen Qing, I remember that you are a master, why did you wear a streamer today? My Liang family is not such a foolish family" Liang Baida asked in a deep voice.
Liang Zijun inquired about Chen Bi's family background since he saw her in Qingping Town, and the town became more familiar with Chen Qing, saying that he was a sincere man. Liang Zijun also told his family early on that Chen Bi only has one brother.
"I'm a little brother" Chen Qing gritted his teeth and admitted that he had been raised by a man since he was a child, not to mention his muscles, he was tall, and he really looked like a man at a glance.
"No matter how you look at it, you're a gentleman, you can prove it to me" Liang Zijun crossed his arms and looked Chen Qing's figure up and down, damn liar.
Chen Qing's face was a little embarrassed, but he had been a master for 19 years, and he had been seen more than once when he took off his clothes and went down to the river, and he put his hand on the belt of his clothes at the moment, even if it was humiliating, he had to endure it.
"Nonsense! My Liang family wants to marry Chen Bi, the documents have been signed, today it is a little brother to marry, is it really my Liang family is muddy?" Liang Baicang took the case, and the two girls were shocked, but after all, they are both big girls, and they are not scared, but it is not common for the elders to get angry, and they can't help but be a little surprised.
"If you don't give an explanation today, don't think about stepping out of this house, the door of my Liang family is easy to enter, but it is not easy to get out" Liang Zijun glanced at Chen Qing with his eyes. It really went overboard just now, if it's really a brother, why can't he be allowed to take off his clothes in public to prove his identity. Li San and Wei Liang immediately stood at the door, blocking the way.
"I didn't want to leave when I came, I can't leave until I pay off my debts," Chen Qing lowered his eyebrows and said the truth.
"Pay off the debt?" Liang Zijun snorted coldly, "Do you still know how much silver the Chen family asked for from my Liang family~"
"Five hundred taels of silver, plus a dowry, I didn't look at it, so I don't know how much silver it's worth," Chen Qing stated the facts.
"Hahaha...... What a Chen family! Tell me how to repay debts, and what is going on with this substitute marriage!" Liang Zijun laughed angrily.
"My sister-in-law and Wanjia have already been married, first received the dowry, and also signed the paperwork, which is half of the daughter-in-law of Wanjia. But...... You sent a matchmaker to say goodbye, and the family owed a huge debt, and the eldest aunt was greedy for silver, and for a while she was confused, she thought that the Wan family was willing to quit her family, so she first agreed to the Liang family's relatives.
Why is it that the Wan family refuses to withdraw from the family, this is a dilemma, all the money is repaid, there is only one sister, and I don't want to be shocked so I have to marry instead. It was indeed my fault that I was not informed in advance, but I signed the paperwork and stamped my handprint, and I was responsible for it even if I reported it to the official. If the Liang family is willing to understand, I am willing to work as a member of the Liang family until the debt is paid off," Chen Qing simply explained the ins and outs, and then stood still.
"Don't shirk the matter completely, the Chen family comes back and forth, saying that the Wan family wants three hundred taels of silver in compensation for the return of relatives, this is simply a cheating marriage, if you see an official, your family will have to go to prison, push your little brother out and want to settle the matter?" Liang Zijun's eyes widened, he only now completely saw the face of the family, there was no good thing at all.
"Something about it, they didn't say it...... She lied to you, can't you see it?" Chen Qing admitted honestly, and raised his eyebrows to look at Liang Zijun, whose angry lips trembled, why did he feel so familiar? Chen Qing frowned and pondered.
Liang Zijun was trembling with anger, seeing that this person still dared to be in a daze, he couldn't help but feel angry, stepped forward and grabbed his collar and shouted, "Do you think you can be smoothed out if you don't know? Hmm? I won't let you go! Since I'm a debtor, then give me a good job, and I'll take care of the field today, and then I'll clean you up!"
The auspicious time has passed, and there is no worship, and many relatives of the Liang family are gathering in the patio to whisper.
Ten tables were set up in the courtyard, and the banquet was all relatives of the Liang family, and even Liang Zitong and Liang Miao, the two daughters who got married, also brought their husbands' families to congratulate them.
Liang Baida first comforted Liang Baicang and his wife, and then opened the banquet with Liang Zixian, and then took a large family to open the door of the hall and greet relatives.
"Throw that broken basket away" Liang Zijun stretched his handsome face and glanced at Chen Qing fiercely.
Time is pressing, so I don't have time to ask in detail. It's better to entertain the guests outside first, Liang Zijun took Chen Qing to toast next to each other, but only people clinked glasses with Liang Zijun, and no one cared about Chen Qing, who had an extremely strange aura.
Chen Qing stood behind Liang Zijun in a daze with a wine glass like a piece of wood, until he turned around and bumped into Chen Qing, and then said with a cold face, "You go back to the house first"
Chen Qing was also relieved when he got the order, turned around and entered the hall, carrying the basket on his back, but he didn't know where to go.
When the little brother gets married, he doesn't have to stay in the new house like a woman and can't see the guests, but after visiting the church, he thanked the guests together.
"Are you Chen Qing?" I heard Daddy mention you before" A person with a handsome face who looked like a little brother entered the hall and looked at Chen Qing with some curiosity.
There were a lot of people in the house just now, but Chen Qing didn't look carefully, and he didn't know who he was, "You are ......"
"You can call me Pingyang, Liang Zixian's daughter-in-law is also Liang Zijun's cousin-in-law," Li Pingyang replied with a smile.
"Huh? You...... Why are you talking to me?" Chen Qing asked a little confused, puzzled.
"Hehe~ Actually...... It's because we are all little brothers, Zixian's family marries women, just my little brother, if you enter the door, then we can also be companions...... Well, in fact, you have already entered the door" Li Pingyang poked his chin with his fingers, clapped his hands, and happily pulled Chen Qing and said, "You will call me Brother Yang in the future, so that you can be closer, and I will take you to the new house"
Chen Qing inexplicably let Li Pingyang pull him through the courtyard with many guests, and entered a courtyard closest to the gate in the east.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, except for the courtyard wall near the courtyard at the door, there are houses on the other three sides, a main room on the north side, half a transept room on each side, three rooms on the east side facing the courtyard gate, and a large vat is placed in the middle, and it is estimated that the stove room is located there. Next to the main house is a bathhouse, and the other is a barn that goes straight to the south wall. There are two rooms in the south room, most of which are east toilets and west firewood.
Three main rooms, with a hall in the middle, built a warm collapse. There are two rooms on the left and a bedroom on the right. The transept is empty for the younger generations to live in.
"Tell me what's going on, how is it as bizarre as a storyteller," Li Pingyang pulled Chen Qing into the new room and watched him put the basket on the ground. Although he was curious about what he was reciting, he politely only looked at it twice and stopped staring.
Chen Qing was hungry, grabbed the pastries on the table and swallowed them, and ate a whole plate before pouring a cup of tea and drinking it slowly.
I spent the night in the next village last night, and my body was neat, but I was hungry, so I ate something to cushion my stomach regardless of my image.
Li Pingyang smiled and handed him an apple, and took another one and gnawed it happily, "I was like this when I got married, I didn't eat anything in the morning, and I didn't eat until after lunch, and I stole all the pastries on the table, and Brother Zixian laughed at me for being greedy."
"How old are you?" asked Chen Qing with a wink.
"20 years old, what about you?" asked Li Pingyang as he ate.
"19," Chen Qing replied.
"I'm older than you, in fact, I'm not Zixian's wife, when I married him, he was 32 years old, his daughter-in-law was gone, and he only had a daughter. I originally wanted to marry a little brother to continue the string, if I gave birth to a child, whether it was a brother or a boy, I would be a son anyway, but unfortunately I was not angry, and I didn't move for 4 years" Li Pingyang was a little deflated, and he didn't gnaw on the apples.
"Then he ...... you" Chen Qing is not a gossip person, but when he came to the Liang family, the only person who was willing to talk to him well was Brother Yang, so he couldn't help but worry a little about him.
"Zixian is very good to me, even if I can't have children, he said that he is willing to live well with me" Speaking of Liang Zixian, Li Pingyang's face showed a happy smile again.
"Huh~ That's good" Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the fate of the little brother is closely related to the child, if a man marries the little brother and is still the same because he can't give birth to a child, then he is lucky to meet someone who really cares about him.
"Actually, Zijun is very good, but he usually doesn't look out of tune, but he's still young~ After two years, he will naturally be able to stabilize when he has a child" Brother Yang himself is obviously not big, but he seriously said that Liang Zijun, who was the same age as him, was not stable enough, which provoked Chen Qing to sneer, and most of his depressed mood dissipated.
