Chapter 133: Marriage

After Yuan Xiaoyu got married, Yuan Anping and Huo Xiaohan's wedding date was also approaching. According to Yuan Gensheng, the filial piety period has passed, and Yuan Anping has experienced such dangers, and it is just right to be happy to get married. So I quickly found someone to combine the eight characters and chose an auspicious day, and it was the best day of the year. The day happened to be after Yuan Xiaoyu got married, which saved a lot of trouble, after all, it is not good for my cousin to get married in front of my cousin, and I think it would be a pity if I changed my day.

Yuan Anping has no parents, and such a major event as getting married is naturally handled by Yuan Gensheng and his wife.

Early in the morning, Yuan Gensheng went to Yuan Anping with a few men who had not yet come out of five suits: "Anping, are the dowries ready?" Because Huo Xiaohan and the Huo family broke off their relationship, they discussed and asked Huo Xiaohan to marry from his family and get married tomorrow, according to the rules, I have to dry the dowry in the yard today. So Yuan Gensheng brought someone over early to carry it.

"It's ready, it's all in the West Wing. Yuan Anping led Yuan Gensheng to the room where the dowry was kept, and as soon as the door opened, everyone was surprised to see the situation in the house. Yuan Gensheng couldn't help but be surprised: "So many?!" A room full of boxes, he didn't expect Yuan Anping to prepare so much dowry for Huo Xiaohan.

"Thirty-six lifts in total. "Actually, Yuan Anping wants to buy more, he originally planned to buy one hundred and sixty lifts, and he must let Huo Xiaohan marry with a beautiful scenery, so that everyone envies him. In Yuan Anping's opinion, if you don't talk about red makeup, you have to make up the word "more" at least. It's just that Huo Xiaohan disagrees in various ways, and thinks it's too eye-catching, as the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, they live in the village, and he doesn't know if they don't suffer from widowhood and unevenness, but he understands this truth, and it's not a good thing to make people jealous. In the end, under various consultations of Yuan Anping, the number was set at thirty-six lifts. Even this number, Huo Xiaohan still felt that it was a bit much.

Speaking of dowry, it is actually very cumbersome, from gold, silver, jewelry, to needles and threads, all of which can be used when living a life. Most people start accumulating early, but Yuan Anping didn't notice this matter before, and now the time is a little tight, so he prepared more cloth clothes and jewelry for Huo Xiaohan, as well as some land deeds and shops, and spent a total of 3,600 taels of silver, this amount He naturally didn't tell Huo Xiaohan, so as not to surprise the other party.

Yuan Anping let them go in to carry the dowry box, and he said to Yuan Gensheng: "Uncle, tomorrow's things are all ready, right?"

"Don't worry, it's all arranged, and the people who make the banquet are also famous experts in Shili and Eight Villages, and they will come over to build a stove in the afternoon. In addition, Yuan Anping gave a lot of silver, and the menu on the wedding banquet was long, so there was no need to worry that the people in the village would think that the banquet was not good.

"Come and set up the stove in the afternoon, then I'll wait for them at home." "Because he was going to get married, he gave the students of the academy three days off. It's just that what makes him speechless is that according to the rules, three days before getting married, the two parties can't meet, so Huo Xiaohan lived in Yuangensheng's house two days ago, and he could only wait for the uncle's family to send them to them about dinner. Of course, Yuan Anping still tried to make his own meal for the first meal, but unfortunately, the three people who had been nourished by Huo Xiaohan felt that it was not delicious to eat, and they all felt that it was too wasteful of food for Yuan Anping to cook.

Yuan Gensheng led people to carry the dowry box all the way back to his house, and some villagers were surprised to see them on the way.

"Hey, I didn't expect Anping to prepare so much dowry for Xiaohan. ”

"I've counted, and there must be at least twenty boxes. Anping is really willing. ”

"But that's not all, I counted at least thirty boxes, and it seems that thirty-six were prepared. Even if it's all needles and threads, it's worth a lot of money, Anping is really rich. ”

"I don't know what it is, after dinner, let's go to Gensheng's house to take a look and see what dowry Anping has prepared for Xiaohan. ”

…………………………

The dowry was carried into Yuangen Sheng's house, and Huo Xiaohan was helping to make breakfast, although Zhou Xiangzhi always said that she and her daughter-in-law Yang were there, and there was no need for Huo Xiaohan to follow the cooking. But Huo Xiaohan felt that it was awkward to wait for food and not work at someone else's house, so he had been helping to cook for the past two days. As he was serving the food, he heard the movement outside and knew that the dowry had been brought.

Zhou Xiangzhi put down the washed dishes in his hand and said to Huo Xiaohan, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." "The meal is almost ready, the bottom of the stove is firewood, and it doesn't matter if people leave.

Zhou Xiangzhi saw the wooden box brought in, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, telling them where to put it. A single door had been swept out of the yard, and she pointed for them to put the wooden box there.

Looking at the full yard, Zhou Xiangzhi exclaimed in her heart: "I didn't expect Anping to prepare so many dowries!" When her daughter went out, their husband and wife prepared ten dowries, thanks to Yuan Anping's help and Xue Zhoujin's dowry, people like them are good, so Yuan Anping's thirty-six dowries look even more imposing.

Yang Wan looked at the so many dowries in the courtyard and was very envious, who doesn't want to be beautiful when they get married, and they can make people look up to them if they have face, and what is even more rare is that this dowry is still purchased by the man. She glanced at Huo Xiaohan beside her, and felt that he should have today. How difficult it was during the time when Yuan Anping had an accident, she also saw it in her eyes, fortunately Yuan Anping was fine, and it could be regarded as a bittersweet one.

Huo Xiaohan looked at so many dowries, and his mood was a little conflicted, both happy and annoyed. I am happy that Yuan Anping is good to himself, but he is worried about too much dowry, and he doesn't know how long the village people will discuss it. And when he remembered that he was going to get married tomorrow, he couldn't help but get nervous.

Although he has been with Yuan Anping for a long time and is very familiar with that family, he still can't help but be nervous in the face of getting married, and there is no one to talk about, so he can only hold it in his heart.

After breakfast, Zhou Xiangzhi asked Huo Xiaohan to go back to the room to stay, because today is the day of the dowry, there will be many people in the village who come to join in the fun, it will definitely be very noisy, Huo Xiaohan is thin-skinned, it is best to hide in the house, and there is no need to deal with those who love to talk.

In the middle of the morning, some people went to Yuangensheng's house one after another, and anyone who had a child to marry and show their dowry would go over to join in the fun and make up for popularity. This is the time to show whether the family is getting along well with others in the village. If there are very few people going to such a thing as a wedding or funeral, it will be very embarrassing for the main family.

Although Yuan Anping does not have much contact with the people in the village, but because he teaches the children in the village to read and write, and now he is the only person in the village who has a meritorious reputation, his status is not the same, even if he has all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart, he will come to cheer.

When everyone arrived at Yuan Gensheng's house, they saw so many dowries, and they could see the contents of the wooden box that they opened, and they couldn't see the valuable jewelry, but the clothes and cloth they saw knew that they were good things at a glance. Everyone was surprised by Yuan Anping's generosity, there were people who said that there were a lot of boxes, and there were probably some worthless things inside, but now when they see the things in the boxes, they really hit a lot of people in the face.

When she got home, Dongfeng Niang couldn't help but sigh with her son: "I went to see it, Anping prepared a dowry for Xiaohan with thirty-six lifts! ”

Li Dongfeng was packing up the articles he had collected and planning to make them into a volume, and when he heard his mother say this, he didn't think there was anything unusual: "Mr. saved King Rui and was rewarded with a lot of things, so it's not surprising that he can buy so many dowries." ”

"Anping's luck is really incomparable, he can be appreciated by Master Zhang, and he also saved King Rui. What is the identity of King Rui, that is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon. "Although he almost lost his life, if he doesn't die, there must be great blessings," Xiao Han also changed his luck, Anping was so good to him, he would have endless blessings after marrying Anping. ”

Li Dongfeng felt that Huo Xiaohan's happiness today was not accidental, and Yuan Anping was able to come back safely thanks to the other party, but he was just a little worried about the gift he was going to give tomorrow. Several of them said that they must congratulate Yuan Anping on such a big event.

The eighth day of the eighth month of August, the day of great luck.

When the joy sounds, the whole village comes alive. The children happily crowded to the door of Yuan Anping's house, waiting to eat candy.

Yuan Anping put on a red wedding dress and stepped on horseback, ready to pick up his new husband, although he didn't know how to ride a horse, but only such a little distance was no problem.

When the children saw Yuan Anping going out, they saw the beautiful sedan chair following behind, and happily followed behind, and the pillar helped to scatter some candy nuts or something, so that everyone was happy.

Zhong Sun Rui, who was also following, saw Yuan Lin and them, ran over, and asked with a smile: "You guys are here, do you want to follow me into the house to see Brother Xiaohan?"

Li Zi took the small box in his hand: "Let's go to the house with you first, let's put the gift into the house first, and don't forget to remind Brother Anping when the time comes." "I feel a little embarrassed to give gifts in person, they plan to send the gifts to Yuan Anping's house in advance, anyway, they will be busy today and have no time to see what gifts others give.

Sitting on the horse, Yuan Anping reached out and pulled off the hem of his clothes, today is the day he got married. After today, he will be a family man, and he is looking forward to it.

Huo Xiaohan, who was woken up early in the morning and asked his mother-in-law to help comb his hair, sat quietly on the bed and waited, he didn't know anything about what would happen on the night of marriage, and he was both expectant and nervous. Until he saw Yuan Xiaoyu, who had followed Xue Zhoujin to congratulate him, enter the house, he couldn't help but confide in him.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you're here. He had a lot of things in his heart that he needed to talk to, so he pulled someone to the side of the bed and told him about his nervousness.

Yuan Xiaoyu, who was already married to a wife, seemed to be doing well, and after hearing Huo Xiaohan's words, he smiled and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, you have been with An Ping for more than two years, what else is not used to." ”

"I know that, but I can't help but be nervous. That ......" said Huo Xiaohan asked with a little blush, "Sister Xiaoyu, the cave room ...... What is it like? What should I do?" and the absence of any elder to tell him this made him feel very uncertain.

Yuan Xiaoyu was also embarrassed to be asked by him, she and Huo Xiaohan were the same generation, so she was naturally ashamed to mention this kind of thing, so she could only respond casually: "This kind of thing...... You don't have to worry about it. Anping knows. She felt ashamed to say that she only learned a little about this kind of thing from her mother the night before she got married.

Huo Xiaohan knew that this kind of intimate thing was difficult to say when he looked at her, but as soon as he heard that Yuan Anping knew, he didn't ask anymore. The two chatted in the room until they heard the sound of joy coming and knew that Yuan Anping had come to pick up the kiss.

Being led out by the matchmaker, Huo Xiaohan was very nervous, feeling that his hand was being held by Yuan Anping, and heard him whisper to himself: "Be careful at your feet, you are going to get on the sedan chair." ”

Hearing Yuan Anping's voice, Huo Xiaohan suddenly became less nervous, and carefully sat in the sedan chair, after today, he will become Yuan Anping's husband and spend his life with Yuan Anping.

After the worship, Yuan Anping began to greet the guests. Almost everyone in the village came to congratulate, but fortunately the yard was big enough, and there were tables in the house, so there was no need to put the tables outside the yard.

Compared with others, the Huo family is a little embarrassed. Although it was originally Huo Xiaohan's family, it was broken off after all. After the family discussed, because Yuan Anping gave a gift when Huo Xiasheng got married, they naturally wanted to return the gift, Huo Xiasheng's daughter-in-law Zhang saw that it was almost time to open the banquet, so she said: "It's all this time, we should go too, thank you for missing the time to open the banquet." Anyway, we have a lot of family, and we will not suffer a loss if we take a gift money and eat it. ”

Huo Xiangxiang got up with an unhappy face: "I'm not going." She watched the scene of receiving her relatives from a distance today, and the long dowry queue made her feel very depressed, thinking that she would definitely be compared to Li Mo when she married Li Mo in a few days, and she was angry.

Zhang knew why Huo Xiangxiang didn't want to go, she saw that this sister-in-law had always been unpleasant, didn't she just think she was pretty, what to drag, so she deliberately said: "Why don't you go? ”

Huo Xiangxiang heard that she was deliberately sarcastic about herself, and she was unhappy: "Isn't it just a mouthful, my eyelids are not so shallow." "Just leave.

Zhang snorted coldly and looked at Huo Xiasheng: "Let's go, I'm just shallow-eyed, I definitely want to eat this meal after all the money has been paid." ”

Huo Xiasheng followed honestly.

The Yuan family is different from the rest of the Huo family, since giving birth to a son, Huo Dayu has treated her a lot, although she was separated because of the Zhang family, but because Huo Dayu has a son, the whole person has a fighting spirit, although the life is not rich, but the family can eat a full stomach, and the Yuan family is already very satisfied. Holding her son and taking her daughter, Yuan congratulated Yuan Anping, she wanted to go to see Huo Xiaohan.

Although he didn't like the Huo family very much, Yuan Anping would not specifically let Huo Xiaohan stay away from the Yuan family, what should he do with Huo Xiaohan himself. What's more, today is a big day, and the previous things are not a big deal in his eyes. Yuan Anping thanked Yuan's and asked her to take her to see Huo Xiaohan, and then go to greet other guests.

"Congratulations, sir. Zheng Qiuwen also came here early and gave a generous gift, he was able to successfully pass the Xiucai examination thanks to Yuan Anping, and he was very grateful. A teacher for one day and a teacher for life, not to mention that if he wants to go further, he naturally has to continue to learn from Yuan Anping.

Yuan Anping was very happy: "Thank you, have a few more drinks today, it's okay if you're drunk, you have a guest room to live in." ”

Zheng Qiuwen smiled: "It must be, today is your big day, be careful not to get drunk." ”

Yuan Anping said with a smile: "Then you want to pour me a few cups less." As for helping to keep the wine away, there are pillars for them to help, "You can sit down as you like, and I'll go and entertain the other guests." ”

"Okay, sir, go get busy. ”

Yuan Anping greeted several tables of guests, especially the village chief's table, just as everyone was happily talking and laughing, and congratulating Yuan Anping in various ways, suddenly someone ran over and whispered a few words to Yuan Anping.

Yuan Anping chuckled in his heart after hearing this. Then I saw a few people in official clothes walking in, and the leader walked to Yuan Anping's side and arched his hand: "Here are the guards next to Princess Rui, and the princess learned that Yuan Gongzi was married, so she specially sent her to send a congratulatory gift." ”

When the people present heard that Princess Rui had also sent a congratulatory gift, they gasped. Princess, what a high-ranking figure she was, she even sent a congratulatory gift to Yuan Anping, and they all felt that Yuan Anping was too face-saving. Zheng Qiuwen looked envious, how good it was to be able to make friends with King Rui. Xue Zhoujin had to think more, as a scholar, it was not a good thing to make friends with the vassal king.

Yuan Anping didn't have any joy in his heart, the last thing he wanted to see was King Rui, because of the problem of space, he couldn't wait to see King Rui and the people related to King Rui in this life. Pray to God and worship Buddha as if to make King Rui forget such a character as himself, in order not to expose the space, he has not used the space recently, just because he is afraid of being put on the roof, who knows if King Rui has sent someone to spy on his secrets.

Although he didn't want to see him in his heart, Yuan Anping didn't dare to leak a single bit on his face, and after listening to the guards' words, he hurriedly thanked them, and then beckoned them: "If you don't dislike it, a few people will also stay and drink a glass of wine." ”

Several guards were not in a hurry to rush back, and Yuan Anping did not shirk when he spoke: "Thank you." ”

Under Yuan Gensheng's reminder, Zhu Zi hurriedly took the congratulatory gift from Princess Rui with a few cousins, while Yuan Anping led a few guards to sit and let them sit at a table alone, after all, others were not comfortable sitting with them.

Yuan Genshuo and Fang Hua saw those congratulatory gifts from Princess Rui, their eyes were fixed on them, and they wanted to open them to see what was inside.

Fang Hua was envious in her heart: "You say, what's in those boxes?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely good. Yuan Genshuo was jealous in his heart, six boxes, "That's a congratulatory gift from the princess, even if it's not priceless, it's definitely not a bargain." Anping, this kid is really lucky!"

Yuan Anping went to continue to greet the guests, but he was a little uneasy. Sitting at the table, Zhongsun Lianjue found that Yuan Anping's mood was a little wrong, but it was not easy to ask at the banquet, guessing that it might be related to those guards. Touching him with his elbow, Yuan Anping hurriedly retracted his mind, thinking that today was his big day, King Rui or something would be put aside first, and the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth, not to mention that people were just sending congratulatory gifts now, so they didn't have to think so much.

The pillar they carried the congratulatory gift from Princess Rui into the dowry house, and the pillar carefully locked the door, which was full of valuable things, in case someone was greedy and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal it.

Locking the door, the pillar whispered to the children who were sitting in the seats in front of the dowry house, "Watch out for this room, and don't let anyone in." ”

Li Zi and a few of their children sat at a table, just by the door of the dowry house, and when they heard the pillar say this, they all said that they would definitely be optimistic. After the pillar left, there was a discussion.

Fat Dun ate with a mouth full of oil, what King Rui and what princess, in his eyes there is no temptation of meat, just curiously glanced at the room behind him: "Isn't it a lot of treasures?"

"Definitely. Li Zi was very curious: "I didn't expect Princess Rui to send a congratulatory gift, Brother Anping has face now." I don't know what's in the box, but I want to take a look. "He doesn't envy those things much, he just wants to see what characters like the prince and princess will give, and they will have a long experience.

Li Dongfeng glanced at him: "Rest, you want to see everything, why are you so curious!"

Li Zi said that he was not familiar with him, looked at Zhong Sunrui, and whispered to him: "If you have a chance to see it, you must tell me." ”

Zhongsun Rui promised: "Okay." I'll tell you if I see it, but don't blame me if I can't. ”

After receiving the congratulatory gift from Princess Rui, Zhang Linyi's congratulatory gift also arrived, but Zhang Linyi himself couldn't come because of something, which made Yuan Anping a little regretful, after all, the other party was a friend he recognized.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening, and Yuan Anping finally pulled out and was surrounded into the room. Yuan Anping, who was originally drunk, suddenly turned around and stopped everyone who wanted to enter the cave room, then turned around and smiled at Huo Xiaohan, who was dressed in a big red wedding dress: "Those boys poured me wine all the time, fortunately I pretended to be drunk, otherwise I would have been carried in by them." ”

Huo Xiaohan got up and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Yuan Anping glanced at the food on the table, and it looked like it hadn't moved: "It's okay." Have you eaten?"

"I ate, the food that my aunt gave me. "According to the rules, the food on the table cannot be moved, and it must be eaten with Yuan Anping, among which the dumplings are still raw.

Yuan Anping stretched out his hand to hold Huo Xiaohan's hand, and Huo Xiaohan sat down a little shyly.

Yuan Anping poured two glasses of wine and handed Huo Xiaohan a glass: "Come, let's drink a glass of wine." ”

Huo Xiaohan picked up the wine glass, he hadn't drunk before, but he knew the meaning of handing over a glass of wine, and looked at Yuan Anping opposite, after tonight, they would be husband and wife.

Yuan Anping took Huo Xiaohan's hand, drank a glass of wine, kissed him on the forehead, and looked deeply at the person in front of him: "In the future, we will be a husband and wife who will be together for a lifetime." ”

Huo Xiaohan nodded, his eyes full of happiness: "Well, for a lifetime." 166 Reading Network
