September 19, North Village Chen Family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Xiu'er sat in front of the dresser in her room, her eyes closed, and although her facial expression was calm, her fluttering eyelashes showed her deep nervousness.

"Xiu'er, don't worry" Yang Li held two white lines in his hands, stood in front of Chen Xiu'er, looked at the nervous niece in front of him, reached out and patted his niece's shoulder and said in relief.

"Well, auntie, I'm fine" Chen Xiu'er's tone was a little dry, she didn't open her eyes when she spoke, and after finishing speaking, she just smiled unnaturally in the direction of Yang Li's family.

Yang Li looked at the unnatural smile on the corner of his niece's mouth, and didn't say anything, the eldest girl turned back to get married, and it was normal to be nervous.

"Xiu'er, next my aunt is going to open your face, it's a little painful, you bear with it, just wait for it to finish" After Yang Li finished speaking, he twisted the white thread in his hand into a strand with his thumb, then held both hands on both sides, and then gently twisted Chen Xiu'er's red cheeks.

What Yang Li does is called opening the face, also known as opening the face, is a process that the girl has to do the day before marriage, when the woman with both children is invited to twist each other with two threads to pluck the hair on the face of the woman to be married.

Originally, this job was just invited to Aunt Zhou from the same village, but yesterday Aunt Zhou's daughter-in-law Chen had just given birth to a big fat boy, and Aunt Zhou was busy taking care of her daughter-in-law and little grandson, so she naturally didn't want to come over to help Chen Xiu'er open her face, no way, Chen Fu thought of the old people in the village from beginning to end, dragging the blessing of the little Li family, and was stunned that he couldn't choose a good relationship with their old Chen family, Chen Fu had no choice, so he had to let Dajin temporarily drive the ox cart to Yangjia Village to pick up the Yang Li family.

The white line is twisted tighter and tighter, although Yang Li is already very careful, but the white line has rolled over the cheeks, there is still a hot pain, especially Chen Xiu'er is young, and her skin is also tender and smooth.

Yang Li glanced at Chen Xiu'er's delicate face left and right, nodded with satisfaction, glanced back at the noisy door, and said with a smile, "Okay, Ling'er has been waiting for you at the door for a long time, aunt will open the door and let them in" As soon as Yang Li's voice fell, his figure also walked to the closed door, and after opening the horizontal head of the locked door from the door, Yang Li opened his mouth and called the half-grown girls at the door in.

"Oh, Xiu'er, you're so beautiful"

"That's it, Sister Yingzi, look at Sister Xiu'er, it's so beautiful."

"Lingzi, you are envious, then hurry up and let Aunt Wang quickly find your mother-in-law's house, make sure you are as beautiful as Sister Xiu'er..."

"Giggles, clucks..."

The girls all entered the house, you and I teased each other, and for a while, there was constant laughter in the room, but most of the words were said to Chen Xiuer, after all, Chen Xiuer will marry to Yangjia Village tomorrow.

Yang Li took advantage of the kung fu of a few people to play and went out again. Now there are only a few half-grown girls left in Xiu'er's house, and this topic is naturally about the careful thinking of the girl's family.

"Sister Xiu'er, what about the person you want to marry?" Lingzi noticed Yang Li who opened the door, and she didn't play much at first, and when she saw the other party go out, she had the courage to ask, Lingzi is only 13 years old this year, and she is the daughter of the Wang family next door to the Chen family.

"Huh, it's okay" Chen Xiu'er looked at the childish Lingzi in front of her, lowered her head and thought about it, but she still said it simply, causing several big girls around who had a marriage contract to coax her again and again.

"Oh, Xiu'er, what are these words? Why is it okay, shouldn't it be very good? Otherwise, we Xiu'er can't agree to it, sisters, you say... Am I right?"

This is said by Cui'er who is wearing a skirt, Cui'er is 17 years old this year, and she is naturally beautiful and beautiful, she has long been optimistic about others, it is the old Guo family in Beigou, and she will marry in November this year, although Xiao Li's evaluation in the village is not good, but Chen Xiu'er is different from her mother, it is a good temperament that everyone praises, such a good temperament naturally has many good friends, Cui'er is one of them.

As soon as Cui'er's words came out, the people in the room were even more coaxed, and Chen Xiu'er's ears turned red with shame.

“… You little girls, you know how to bully me, and Sister Cui'er, don't you want to marry Brother Lizi?

Cui'er's good friend is called Guo Dali, and the sisters in the village are all Brother Lizi and Brother Lizi are shouting, and now Sister Cui'er is talking about things with Brother Da Niu, Chen Xiuer naturally can't admit defeat, and she endured the huge shame, but still bit her lip and fought back.

"Oh, Sister Cui'er and Sister Xiu'er are looking down on those of us who don't have a mother-in-law, Reiko, I look at us, let's go back" The long heroic girl on the side also joked, and by the way, she also brought Reiko on the side.

"That's it, Sister Yingzi, let's go home quickly" After hearing this, Lingzi was not to be outdone, and followed Yingzi's words and went down, and then the two of them were about to leave, but they were stopped by Xiu'er and Cui'er behind them one by one.

"Okay, the joke will pass, but don't forget our business, tomorrow is Xiu'er's big day, let's talk about it quickly, otherwise Xiu'er is in a hurry, there are you two little girls who look good" Cui'er was still the first to speak and emotional, and waited until the words were almost finished, and then handed over to Xiu'er a pair of embroidery that the three of them had embroidered together for many days in front of Chen Xiu'er.

"It's... This is?" Chen Xiuer stretched out her hand to take the embroidered cloth, looking surprised.

"It's all a little bit of caution on the part of our sisters, don't mind Sister Xiu'er, keep it" Cui'er glanced at Lingzi and Yingzi beside her, and said with a smile.

“… Thank you, Sister Cui'er, and Yingzi, Reiko, I... I'm really happy" Chen Xiu'er's tone was a little choked, looking down at the expensive embroidery in her hand, her eyes were already full of tears.

"Okay, okay, on this happy day, you can't cry, it's unlucky, it's unlucky" Cui'er couldn't hear Chen Xiu'er's crying, and hurriedly pretended to be serious and interrupted Xiu'er's words.

"That's it, Sister Xiu'er, you can't cry" Reiko also echoed on the side.

“… Poof" Chen Xiuer laughed softly when she was amused by a few people, reached out to wipe the tears left in the corners of her eyes, and looked at the few people in front of her with a touched face.

Lingzi looked at Chen Xiu'er and didn't wipe her tears, before she smiled and said, "Sister Xiu'er, let's go back first, Sister Cui'er and Sister Yingzi are okay."

"Hmph, no one should want it if you eat it," Yingzi glanced sideways at Reiko, who was holding her arm back and forth beside her.

"Sister Xiu'er, look at Sister Yingzi" When Lingzi heard this, she complained mischievously to Chen Xiu'er, who was already smiling and bending over.

"It's useless for you to beg Sister Xiu'er, because... Sister Xiu'er is going to be a bride, giggles..."Yingzi finished with a smile, and ran out with Lingzi in Chen Xiu'er's laughter and scolding, Cui'er watched from the side, first patted Xiu'er on the shoulder, and then followed the steps of the two and walked out.

“… Sister Cui'er" Cui'er heard Chen Xiu'er's words, turned her head suddenly, and saw Chen Xiu'er say with a serious face, "Thank you"

Cui'er was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled, and then walked out with her feet up, an emerald green dress that looked particularly elegant in the sun.

Chen Xiu'er looked at the empty door in front of her, hugged the embroidered cloth in her arms tightly, and bit her bright red lip, she was very happy today.

In the main house on the other side, Yang Li was sitting on the kang and glaring at Xiao Li, Xiao Li looked weak, standing beside Yang Li and laughing.

“… Okay, look at your talent, Xiu'er will get married tomorrow, and I don't expect you to suddenly open up, but this girl is married, even if her mother's family is not good, you have to add a dowry or two, what, do you really want the people in the village to poke your backbone and let Xiu'er be scolded at the same time? Even if you don't think about your poor daughter, you have to think about it for Dajin Erjin, Dajin They are so old, do you want to marry a wife!"

Yang Li is bitterly persuading the tendon girl in front of him, you say, how can there be a mother who doesn't add a dowry when her daughter comes out, this is not selling her daughter!

What Yang Li said was reasonable, but it didn't impress Xiao Li, but Yang Li finally said that the two sons that Xiao Li cared about made Xiao Li's expression change a little.

"Eldest sister, you... That's what I said, it's because this incident will affect Dajin Erjin's inability to marry a daughter-in-law, is this true?" Although Xiao Li still had some doubts on his face, he said this to Xiao Li, and Yang Li knew that her niece's dowry was relieved.

Hmph, I'm afraid that you won't take the bait, Yang Li rolled his eyes in his heart, at the critical moment, it was still his nephew who worked.

"Won't you use your brain to think about what I said is true or false?" Yang Li jumped directly from the kang to the second sister's ground, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the little Li on the side, "Tell me, with your reputation as a rotten family in Beicun, which daughter of a good family dares to marry her? Are you shouting at her when you marry? Dajin Erjin has not married for so many years, don't you still understand the truth? Why do you go to ask for one today, and tomorrow people will quickly decide to marry, isn't this still hiding from you? You fool?"

Yang Li scolded Xiao Li and directly slammed Xiao Li to the corner of the wall.

Xiao Li was scolded by her eldest sister with a weak face, as if she thought of the embarrassing scene when she went to ask for a kiss before, and her head was buried low, not daring to raise her head.

"Hmph, do you regret it now? I'm late, so you can follow your two precious sons."

Yang Li looked at the girl whose head was getting lower and lower, and looked impatient.

Xiao Li heard Yang Li's words, and he was not calm directly, and raised his head with a bang, the full helplessness and anxiety were clearly visible on his face, and his hands couldn't stop trembling, and he said with a trilling voice

"That's not good!Eldest sister, then you say, what should I do? Dajin Erjin is your own nephew, you take care of Xiu'er's dead girl, you can't ignore them, they are my lifeblood, eldest sister"

In the end, Xiao Li directly reached out and grabbed Yang Li's sleeve tightly, as if he wanted to tear the sleeve.

"I said can you change it?" Yang Li directly threw off his sleeves and shook Xiao Li to the ground.

"Yes, big sister, as long as you say it, I will change it" Xiao Li hurriedly got up from the ground, and didn't care about the dust on his clothes, he grabbed Yang Li's sleeve again, and nodded vigorously, for fear that Yang Li would regret what he said late.

"That's okay, I'll just say" Yang Li nodded, and then said, "Honestly sit on the side, look at you, what do you look like, isn't this so serious? Besides, Dajin Erjin is also my nephew, how can I bear to let their brother marry a mother-in-law" Yang Li knows the effect of beating a piece of money and giving a sweet date, she can't blindly stimulate Xiao Li, if Xiao Li really breaks the jar and falls, then it is her nephews and nieces who are bitter.

"Eh, I'll sit here, I'll sit here" Xiao Li smiled and let go of Yang Li's sleeve, quickly moved a stool from the side and put it next to Yang Li, and finally sat down.

"Okay, you have a bad reputation, it's been decades, if you can change it, it's impossible..."

"Eldest sister, what should I do?" As soon as Xiao Li heard her sister's words, she directly interrupted Yang Li's words in a hurry.

"Won't I say this, give me a good listen" Yang Li glared at Xiao Li, fixed Xiao Li in place, and then continued, "Your reputation can't be changed, but what is the premise for people to marry you, it is true that the reputation of the family is one thing, but most of them are not still concerned about the children in the family?

"So, Dajin Erjin and two children are good, this is the biggest advantage, this Xiu'er gets married, as long as you are a little more generous, others will think that you are good to your daughter, you think, you are a good person to your daughter, and you must not be too bad to your daughter-in-law when the time comes, right?" Yang Li's coaxing Xiao Li's little Li's step-by-step coaxing, in fact, what she said is all crooked, not to mention anything else, the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are different, but the Xiao Li family in front of her is only anxious about her son's marriage, and Yang Li's can only start from this aspect.

"Eh, eldest sister, don't say it, it's right" Xiao Li smiled, and kept thinking about what Yang Li said, I can only say that Xiao Li is concerned about it, otherwise, with her IQ, in normal times, Yang Li may not be able to fool her.

“… Yes, I'm also Dajin Erjin's aunt, so naturally I won't cheat them" Yang Li saw that the matter was almost over, and quickly added another fire, "So, you can't let Xiu'er marry tomorrow without face, this is Dajin to send it, if something happens to this, isn't it Dajin's face to lose?"

"That's right, why didn't I think that Dajin would send off his relatives tomorrow? Sister, you're right, I can't let my son lose face" Xiao Li reached out and slapped his thigh fiercely, looking excited.

"Eldest sister, then tell me, what dowry should I give Xiu'er?" After Xiao Li finished this matter, she didn't feel distressed about how much silver she had to come up with, she just looked forward to giving more, so that her son's face would be raised tomorrow.

"Well, is this? I like to be asked by others to bring it, this is indispensable, the big cow family didn't take many things when they came to propose, but then didn't they use a few good fabrics to send over? Yang Li thought carefully about the things that Da Niu's family sent before, and naturally there were no pastries to eat, and the others were too miscellaneous and too few, and it was useless to hold them.

"Okay, it's okay, those two pieces of cloth are in my box in this house, I'll send them to Xiu'er in a while, eldest sister, what else?" Xiao Li agreed without blinking his eyelids.

"Well, if there are any more, did Xiu'er embroider a few pairs of embroidery for you before, do you still keep them?" This is what Yang Li heard from Chen Xiu'er, these embroideries were not given to her mother by Chen Xiu'er, but Xiao Li went to Chen Xiu'er's room to take them out.

"Yes, what's wrong?" said Li.

"Take out the picture of Guanyin in it, and send it to Xiu'er later, it just so happens that the meaning of this picture is good," Yang Li said.

"Then what else?" asked Xiao Li very respectfully.

"I'm preparing a few taels of silver, this is the most direct, don't be reluctant, the big cow family sent 15 taels of silver"

"That's... What's the matter with one or two?" Xiao Li said carefully, and then changed to "three or two" under Yang Li's glaring gaze

"Okay, that's all, let's clean up quickly, let's go over" Yang Li didn't care about her so much, and directly struck while the iron was hot, and Xiao Li regretted it tomorrow.

"Eh, okay..."
