Chapter 81: Tying the Knot

June 12 is a rare auspicious day for the zodiac in June.

After breakfast, Junjie and Zou led Wanyu, the housekeeper, Zhu Gui and others to bring birthday supplies and traveled all the way to Caojiazhuang in the south of the city. It turned out that today was the day of Cao Zheng's mother's 70th birthday, and of course Junjie wanted to lead his daughter to congratulate his future mother-in-law.

The Cao family has been a lot of good things recently, first Cao Zheng's grievances have finally been revealed to the world, and then the 10,000 taels of silver that the family property of the three families of Zhang Xiong and Lu have been confiscated, which is enough for a large family to eat without worry. But Cao Da was happy on the surface and secretly wept. After all, no matter how much money there is, after all, his son is gone, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, of course, there is still no happiness. On the other hand, although Madame is normal, Si'er's problem is deep-rooted. So recently, I've been talking about myself a lot. He was worried about how to alleviate his wife's pain, but a martial arts hall housekeeper secretly reported a few days ago that the owner of the Zhu Pavilion wanted to take advantage of Mrs. Cao's seventieth birthday to do things for the two children.

It's unsatisfactory, although Li Ying is not biological, it can be regarded as having a godson again, Wanyu is married to her own family after all, so she still has some comfort in her heart.

Nearly noon, I saw a carriage galloping from the official road, driving with a pig's waist face, eyes dewning, skillfully driving the carriage, carrying a flag on the car, with a big longevity in the book, Qinzhou customs are different from other places, and the birthday can naturally be played with the longevity flag, which is also commonplace.

The pig's waist face drove to the door of Cao's house, and Zhu Gui and others had already set off 10,000 firecrackers, and then two more people jumped out of the car, one with an eye patch covering his left eye, and a plaster on his right cheekbone. Another white skin, a stab wound on the right side of the face. The housekeeper, Zhu Gui and others greeted them, and after a pleasantry, a few people unloaded the birthday items from the car. A group of people entered the courtyard lively.

On this morning, it was natural to follow the path of birthday worship, and for a while, relatives, neighbors, and everyone gathered for a while, of course, everyone tacitly did not mention Cao Zheng's death. Therefore, Mrs. Cao had a happy birthday.

When the meal was over, the relatives who were full of wine and food, and the neighbors said goodbye one by one. After a while, the Cao family was left with their own family and the Zhu family.

The group clearly had no intention of leaving. Junjie and Cao Da drank tea in the living room. Zou accompanied Mrs. Cao to play on the kang. There were already several daughters-in-law who were arranging a new house for Wanyu, and a few sisters were painting Wanyu's eyebrows in another house. The housekeeper and Zhu Gui and the others chatted with a few men outside the courtyard. There is nothing surprising about this.

When it was almost dusk, Mrs. Cao, who was having a family meal with Zou on the kang, was called down the kang by several daughters-in-law, saying that someone had come to pay homage. A group of people surrounded the two ladies and came to the main hall, and Junjie Cao Da had already been changed into a new dress and sat in front of the big red happy words. Is this the rhythm of a happy event? Mrs. Cao was busy rubbing her eyes for the red light, and kept asking you what kind of trouble you are making and who you are doing for the happy event.

The daughters-in-law pressed the two ladies to their seats without saying anything. At this time, I saw the housekeeper Zhu Yanshou step forward and shouted loudly: "Cao Zheng and Zhu Wanyu's wedding starts now, please bring out a couple." ”

Before the words fell, I saw all the men crowded, dressed in new clothes and full of spring "Cao Zheng", holding a ribbon, leading a newcomer wearing a hijab into the lobby.

Mrs. Cao couldn't believe her eyes, her mouth was wide open, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. petrified for a moment, suddenly stood up, and was about to pull her "Zheng'er", who had already been pressed on the seat by the daughters-in-law. What's going on, how could something like this happen today, it's just too sudden.

At this time, the housekeeper shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the good couple is natural, a couple of newcomers, in place"

At this time, I saw that "Cao Zheng" and the newcomer walked in front of the big red word and stood firmly. At this time, Mrs. Cao realized, oh, today is my birthday, it turns out that it is also Zheng'er's wedding day, and she has been looking forward to this day for a long time, but this day came so suddenly, she felt a little dizzy. Fortunately, she immediately got into the groove and sat upright, waiting for the couple to salute.

The butler shouted again, "Bow to heaven and earth!"

I saw the couple turn around and kneel outside the gate, bend down together, and bow three times to thank heaven and earth for their nurturing. The relatives in the hall all cheered in unison.

After prostrating, the two turned around again and faced the four old men. That Mrs. Cao had already burst into tears, and what she was looking forward to day and night would come true once it came true, how could she not cry with joy. Junjie and Cao Da looked calm, they both knew what should have happened or it happened. The butler shouted again, "Second worship the high hall!"

The couple then knelt on the futon and bowed three times to the four old men. Mrs. Cao had already taken the lead in helping the couple up, as if she was searching for something, and scanned Li Ying's face carefully, then Li Ying said: "Mother, my son brought your daughter-in-law back today." Mrs. Cao nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the housekeeper shouted again: "Husband and wife worship each other!"

Mrs. Cao hurriedly returned to her seat, and saw a couple of newcomers turn around and stand facing each other, and a few daughters-in-law put the futon under their knees, and the two knelt down lightly, and were about to bow down, when a few boys rushed up and held down the two of them to meet directly, causing the people around to laugh. The two of them were starry-eyed, but they were in pain and happy. Mrs. Cao felt sorry for her son, so she rushed up to drive away those boys. They twisted "Cao Zheng" a few more times before leaving. What is this, if you have to count, it will be considered a joy.

At this time, the housekeeper also forgot about the troubles of these boys, and Mrs. Cao shouted anxiously: "Butler, butler, be polite." ”

The housekeeper had just come to his senses, and he hurriedly shouted, "Send it to the cave room!"

Before the words fell, Li Ying led the newcomer to the cave room, and Mrs. Cao was also oblivious to follow, and was pulled back by several daughters-in-law to sit on the seat.

The butler shouted, "Licheng!" and the people around laughed and walked to the wedding tent outside, and the wedding feast was about to begin.

After a while, the "Cao Zheng" changed his clothes and came to the bottom of the wedding shed, and Zhu Gui accompanied him to toast everyone's "relatives." The difference is that Zhu Gui also shouted one by one with a sense of ritual: "Toast to the mother-in-law!", "Toast to the eldest brother!" and the like, Mrs. Cao was stunned and didn't see the flaw.
