Regarding the Zhu family's second marriage to a daughter, everyone in Zhoujia Village has different opinions.
There are those who are not used to seeing it, and they are unhappy for Ge Jialang Jun in private. said that the Ge family was a good man, and the life of a good person was not good, so he took a thin lover. The good man has not yet settled down, and the thin lover is anxious to marry another woman. It's just a pity for the little boy of the Ge family, who just lost his father, and saw that he ran away again. As the saying goes, if you have a stepfather, you will have a stepmother.
There are also those who can see clearly and think deeply to complain about the grievances of the Ge family's lady. If it weren't for the fact that the mother's family saw that the money was open, how could the lady of the Ge family marry so urgently?
All in all, as soon as the news of the Zhu family's marriage was released, the peaceful Zhoujia Village suddenly became lively again.
The gossip outside was flying, but the Zhu family still ignored it and just cared about their own happy events.
The east gossip is long, and the west gossip is short. But in the end, he is still a villager, and after gossiping, he still has to make face and go to Zhu's house to cheer up.
When it really came to the day when the Zhu family got married, there were three tables outside the three tables in the Zhu family's compound, and the sky was dark, and it was really full of people.
Liu Yong thought well, and he first handled the matter of marrying a wife in Zhoujia Village. When he left the village, he was down, but now he is also a return to the scenery, and it is more lively, and everyone in the village knows him again. When he turned around and took Hui Niang back to the town, he invited the major shopkeepers who usually had business dealings to have a drink, and let people know that he Liu Da shopkeeper had newly married Mei Jiaoniang.
Liu Yong's abacus was fine, and the money was given to the Zhu family, and they were entrusted to hold a banquet for themselves. Not only did the Zhu family taste the sweetness after they stammered themselves, but also looked at their flattering appearance, which was regarded as relieving the depression of being despised back then.
The Zhu family took Liu Yong's service money, and deducted it again and again, saving flowers where they should be spent, and not thinking about where they shouldn't. Three times five divided by two, six tables of banquets are done, and there is still a full purse left to count as their hard-earned money.
The price of goods in Zhoujia Village is not high, so although the Zhu family has a province and a deduction, there is still wine and meat in the banquet. Although they were greedy for some private money, they still knew that most of the purpose of this banquet was to save face for Liu Yong.
If you want face, the dish can't be bad.
Ten people will sit at a table, and there will be ten dishes, three large meats, four small vegetarian dishes, and three cold dishes and a pot of wine.
When it gets dark, the lights under the porch of the house are lit up, and the red lanterns are hung high, which is really a bit festive.
The auspicious time has long passed, but the bride is still sitting in her mother's house and has not come out.
According to custom, when the day is still bright, the elder brother of the family should carry the bride out of the house and take the safflower sedan chair to the husband's house.
Because it is a small office, the two are both married for the second time, and the ancestral house of the Liu family has not yet been repaired, so the two families discussed that they could be simple and simple, and it would be good to simply go through the motions.
But when it was time, waiting outside the big red sedan chair courtyard, the eldest man of the Zhu family wanted to enter the house, knocked on the door, and the bride inside came out.
"Don't bother, I'll just wait in the house. ā
The voice was cold and clear, like a bowl of cold water, without a trace of emotional temperature to speak of.
Zhu Dalang frowned, and the four sides immediately became serious, raised his feet and wanted to kick the door, and listened to the continuous sound of talking in the yard, but in the end he still couldn't help it, and he held his breath and went to the kitchen to find Aunt Zhu with a black face, and told her the situation in the house honestly.
Aunt Zhu is staring at the kitchen at the moment, and the people who prepare the banquet are all invited by Liu Yong. She wants to say that there is too much oil, she wants to say that she pours too much salt, and she also wants to say that the meat is cut big, and her eyes are staring at the stove with a mistake, for fear that people will get their own cheapness.
Zhu Dalang ran in to find her, and she slapped him first.
"Why don't you coax your sister to get into the sedan chair and run to the kitchen?"
Zhu Dalang had a dark face, smelled the aroma of vegetables and meat in the pot, his eyes fluttered and then retracted, and he said fiercely: "Hui Niang doesn't come out." ā
When Aunt Zhu saw his eyes, she knew that she must be greedy, so she reached out and twisted a piece of oily fat meat in the plate that had just been served, and quickly stuffed it into Zhu Dalang's mouth, and sucked the oil on her fingers. After hearing Zhu Dalang's words clearly, his eyes widened, and he scolded: "What are you talking about?
Zhu Dalang chewed the meat and didn't answer, this meat is fried well, the piece is big and oily, fried with chili peppers, and added ginger and garlic grains in it, and the meat and garlic fragrance in his mouth are eaten.
When Aunt Zhu saw him like this, she was so angry that she slapped him vigorously again.
"Forget it, I can't tell you like this. I went to her myself. And he said, "This little debt collector, when is this time to make me petty again." ā
Aunt Zhu said that she was about to go to the house in a hurry, and when she left, she didn't forget to tell Zhu Dalang to take over her and continue to keep an eye on the kitchen.
Zhu Dalang didn't look at it and responded indiscriminately.
In the past, the house where Zhu Huiniang lived at home had already been given to her daughter-in-law's family to live in, so at this time, Zhu Huiniang would only use Zhu Huiniang's house when she got married at home.
Aunt Zhu hurriedly ran to her own room, and the door of the pine wood was still tightly closed.
She reached out and pushed it before approaching, but the door was locked from the inside, and she couldn't push it open. knocked on the door again, shouted quietly, stood at the door and was afraid of people's attention and called in a suppressed voice: "Hui Niang, Hui Niang, I am a mother, open the door for my mother, the auspicious time has arrived, it's time to get on the sedan chair." ā
Zhu Huiniang sat in the room and did not speak, and the bronze mirror reflected her plain white face.
How lively the people outside are, how chilling she is inside.
"Hui Niang, you open the door and let me come in and talk again. ā
Aunt Zhu was still shouting outside the door.
Zhu Huiniang lowered her eyes.
Once upon a time, she got married, and she wore old clothes as wedding dresses. No dowry, no sedan chairs, no relatives, no wedding feasts, no blessings. There was only one person, alone, standing at the door waiting for her, waiting for her to come out, waiting to carry her home, back to the house of the two of them.
At that time, she felt that the days were still very long, there would be no relatives to marry without relatives, there would be no neighborhood congratulations without neighborhood congratulations, there would be no big red sedan chair without big scarlet chairs, there would be no big fish and big meat, there would be no beautiful wedding dress, as long as she had him.
As long as she has him.
Now there are busy mothers' families outside, lively neighbors, waiting for the big red sedan chair, sumptuous wine dishes, and brand-new red silk wedding dresses in the house, but she feels that she has nothing.
She had nothing left.
Without the person who carried her home, the days came to an end, and there was no hope.
"There's no need to do anything more, I'll just wait in the house, and my mother will call the sedan chair back." ā
Aunt Zhu opened her mouth to scold.
I don't know if I don't listen to persuasion, the sedan chair cost money, and if I don't sit on it and go around the village, isn't it a waste of Zhu Jiayin?
Zhu Huiniang understood what she was thinking from the bottom of her heart, and followed by the second sentence: "Mother go and tell people, let them wait for a hard time, return half of the money, and then stay for a meal, and the rest of the money will be collected." ā
When Aunt Zhu heard that it made sense, she felt that it was very feasible, and she still chattered: "What a debt collector, I have to worry about it." Then you can rest first, and I'll go and talk to you for you. Then he turned and ran to the door, thinking in his heart that if he kept someone to eat and drink, he would be asked to return all the money. If they don't keep food, they will give them three points of hard-earned money, and they will not suffer.
Aunt Zhu's abacus sounded, and her heart was beautiful.
After this banquet, she has to make a lot of money.
