Chapter 5 The third child gets married

Shu Laosan's wedding date was finally invited, and it was set for the twenty-fourth day of the winter month. After the 100th birthday banquet of Mingyu www.biquge.info, the Shu family gathered for Shu Laosan's marriage.

Widow Wang came to the Shu family in a donkey cart in their village, and when the widow Wang entered the courtyard gate, Mrs. Shu came out to welcome people into the hall, and the old man Shu got down from the chair at the right door, and the parents of the two sides officially met and called each other in-laws. Widow Wang is here to discuss the details of the wedding, it stands to reason that these things should be the matchmaker's errand, but the ordinary people are not interested in this, "Hey! What a waste of money to spend that! Old man Shu said as such.

Mrs. Shu drove her three grandsons out of the hall and sat on the chair next to Mr. Shu with Qinglan in her arms. It was rare for the second elder of the Shu family to put on the momentum of the county lady's mother's family, Qinglan was secretly amused, and looked at the widow Wang who was wearing a new blue background plain gown.

Qinglan once thought that Widow Wang would be a spicy and outgoing woman, at least she was arrogant, so she dared to ask the Shu family for these bride prices, and she didn't give her daughter a dowry. In these years, it is not easy for a widow who has no job and only lives on a few acres of land to survive with four children, and she can successfully marry three daughters who do not want a dowry, and generously ask for subsidies for her mother and younger brother, which is not just as simple as being thick-skinned.

Unexpectedly, Widow Wang is a woman who looks introverted and deep, not much to say, but in a word. There is little expression on her face, and the deep nasolabial folds make her look poor. She can really pull her face when she speaks, and she doesn't let go of the negotiation with the Shu family, and she doesn't immediately insist on her own opinions if she doesn't like it, so as to convince others, but she only leaves a little room for the other party to retreat, and then slowly advances to achieve the result she wants. She doesn't seem to be afraid that this family can't make an enmity, and she is sure that Mrs. Shu is a kind-hearted mother-in-law, who dotes on her young son, and will not be embarrassed as a daughter-in-law.

She compared Pan Erniang's treatment in the Shu family, and Qinglan knew that this was fighting for the greatest interests of her daughter.

You see that the second daughter-in-law of the Shu family is there, like a mother, and she basically doesn't do anything at home. Her youngest daughter also has a craft and works outside to earn money, Shu Laosan is rare for her daughter, her daughter must not be able to stand the grievances, you see, the brocade embroidered five taels of silver wedding clothes, didn't you say you bought it!

This widow is really not simple, and she is simply an elite of the shopping mall in modern times! Her negotiation skills are superb, grasping the big and letting go of the small, reasonable, and often retreating as advancing. Although Mrs. Shu refuted her with a sentence or two about the dowry, but the people immediately gave a big hat cover for the second elder of the Shu family who loved the child, and the old man Shu basically didn't interject, because the widow held him high, and he was a Shu shopkeeper, as if he was a great big man in Weixian County, and the concise and beautiful words made the old man Shu feel comfortable.

Mrs. Shu, who had no helpers, was defeated one after another. Originally, Mrs. Shu invited two helpers: Aunt Shu and Aunt Zhuang. The reason why she didn't call Aunt Shu was because she felt that there was no need to give Widow Wang a long face, and Second Aunt Shu's man happened to come back from the Northeast, and Second Aunt Shu couldn't take care of her mother at all. Aunt Zhuang is the man's matchmaker, but Old Man Shu felt that this was a negotiation between the two families, and there was no need to let outsiders get involved, so he didn't let Mrs. Shu call someone.

Through this conversation, Qinglan discovered that Old Man Shu was actually a paper tiger who admired vanity (Pan Erniang said: I already knew), and he was in the nest. He always looks amiable outside, and he is also a smiling face to outsiders, but in front of his family, he seems to have become another person, always frowning angrily, as if this can show the momentum of his family master, Qinglan is very shameful.

As soon as Widow Wang left, Mrs. Shu was angry at Old Man Shu.

"Why don't you help me say a word!? Just be able to me, and don't even dare to let people fart!! ”

Old Man Shu bluffed her and said, "She is a widow, I can see her in general!" With that, he left the house. Mrs. Shu was so angry that the multigrain rice she ate at night was cooked.

On the day Wang Yufen went to the house, Shu Lao Er and Pan had to stay at home to help, and the children in the family were also waiting in the alley to watch the excitement, while Qinglan was hanging her head and playing with Mingyu on her own kang. She already knew what Wang Yufen's dowry was, everything in it was saved by her milk, as well as her mother's mandarin duck pillow scarf.

It's getting noisy outside, Qinglan can't be interested, Shu Lao Er saw it and reached out to touch her forehead, she turned her head to dodge, and she didn't have a fever! Shu Lao Er teased her and ignored people, so he asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the baby girl?" Daddy took you out to see the excitement? ”

Qinglan continued to ignore it. Shu Lao Er is worried that the family is too busy these days, ignoring her daughter and feeling weak, and keeps asking her what is wrong and what she wants to do.

For the first time, Qinglan said to Shu Lao Er with a child's vexatious expression and tone: "I want to go out to play!" Stay away from here! ”

Shu Lao Er looked at Pan with a wry smile, the dowry box was about to enter the door, he shouldn't have walked away at this time.

This month, Pan's and Shu's second child's Mu Xiu didn't rest, saving for today and tomorrow Shu Laosan became friendly and went to the next room. Pan Erniang felt sorry for her husband, put down the work in her hand, turned to Shu Lao Er and said, "You go out with the two children, Qingqing may be noisy, don't go far." I'm here, you're a big man, and it's hard to go forward. ”

Shu Lao Er nodded in response, picked up Mingyu, and walked out of the room with Qinglan on his back.

Old Man Shu was standing inside the gate with his hands behind his back, waiting for someone from the Wang family, looking at the posture of Shu Lao Er about to go out, he casually asked, "Where are you going?" He thought that the second child was holding the two children to welcome the dowry and watch the excitement.

Shu Lao Er said truthfully.

Old Man Shu disagreed, and said: "I don't count all the children in the habit!" ”

Shu Lao Er took a pause, but still bowed his head and left, Old Man Shu looked at his back luck!

Out of the alley, Shu Lao Er didn't know where to go, now that the weather was cold, he shouldn't take the child to the river, and his pace slowed down. When I went up to the main street, I watched the people go west, and it seemed that there was some kind of excitement. Qinglan also urged him to go, and Shu Lao Er took the two children to the west. (Dad, admit it, you also love to watch the excitement)

When I inquired, it turned out that the eldest girl of the first Meiding family in the county was going to get married, and because she was married to Jinan Mansion, she had to carry the dowry to Fucheng today. Qinglan suddenly became excited, looking at the beauty!!

The Ding family is the richest man in the west of the city, and the city of Weixian is known as the East City Li Xicheng Ding. The current old lady Ding is from a high background, there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the suburbs, and the Ding family's mansion is known as Qijin, accounting for most of the street. The Ding family also runs some shops by themselves, including grain shops, cloth villages, silver buildings, restaurants and so on.

Before the grandfather and his wife crowded to the gate of Ding's house, the lively people were already full of voices.

Qinglan poked the dimple on Shu Laoer's forehead with her little hand, realizing that he was standing towards the stone lion in Deqing Building opposite Ding's house. Shu Lao Er is tall, put Qinglan on top of the lion's head, holds his son with one hand, and protects Qinglan behind with the other.

"Miss Ding is out!" I don't know who shouted, and the crowd flocked and looked towards the gate.

Qinglan's eyes widened: Liar!

Why is it a man who came out?!

Shu Lao Er looked at his daughter's expression and wanted to laugh, and explained: "That's Miss Ding's father, Master Ding." ”

Oh~~~ That Ding family treasure...

Everyone in the county knows that the Ding family has two treasures. Ding Jiachang is the treasure of the Ding family, the only son of Mrs. Ding, and has six sisters. Xiaobao Ding Xicheng is the only son of Dabao, before that, the old man of the Ding family, the eldest treasure of the Ding family, worked hard to cultivate seven girls, and the eldest girl Ding is the most beautiful, the best and the most talented girl of the Ding family.

Master Ding first gave a salute to everyone, and then said something to the effect that he thanked everyone for coming to send his eldest daughter to marry (the people who eat melons: they will really put gold on their faces), and the Ding family will continue to live in harmony with everyone and help each other. Then, the half-human-tall camphor dowry chest began to be lifted out.

After the thirty-six dowries were lifted, the eldest girl Ding and her family walked out of the door, which was the first time she came out of the main gate.

Miss Ding is wearing a red cloak, the dark pattern is an auspicious peony, and the Dongzhu on the wedding shoes is the size of a dragon's eye. The wind blew the residual leaves, and a maid lifted the hat behind her cloak to cover her. Miss Ding subconsciously raised her head, and immediately saw the little girl lying on the lion's head opposite.

The beautiful almond looked at herself curiously, her eyebrows were slightly heroic, her round face was white and pink, she had a tiger head hat on her head, and her goose-yellow cloak was blown up by the wind, revealing the small cotton pants with tender flowers on the yellow background, and the posture seemed to be about to take off on a lion. Miss Ding couldn't help but smile at her.

Wow~~~ A smile is beautiful! Qinglan thought about it, and subconsciously raised her hand and waved it to Miss Ding, and suddenly thought that the two didn't seem to know each other very well, so she immediately put down her hand, embarrassed for a second, and showed a bright smile.

Miss Ding, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were like a crescent moon, which made her think of the snow-colored long-haired dog in the Western Regions that the person gave her, and her smile was so cute and painful. The separation of the marriage was diluted a lot, and Miss Ding no longer hesitated and got into the biggest carriage.

"Dad", Qinglan asked crisply, "Who is Miss Ding marrying?" ”

Shu Lao Er said softly: "The Qin family in Jinan Mansion, the second young master of the Qin family who has produced three imperial doctors, and the Qin imperial physician who is now on duty in the imperial hospital is his second uncle. ”

"Oh..."The eldest daughter with the second son... Qinglan felt a little sorry for Miss Ding, such a beauty...

Shu Lao Er seemed to understand Qing Lan's words, and said to him with a smile: "Although Second Young Master Qin can't inherit the family business, he is indeed a good one, he was only 17 years old and was admitted to the Juren, and he is still the head of the case." ”

Qinglan's glass heart suddenly became clear, and the appearance of a talented woman was the most harmonious.

(Someone: You have a glass heart?) That's also laminated tempered black glass with bulletproof film! )

When she got home, the people of the Wang family had already arrived, and Qinglan looked at the Wang family who were reserved but proud in their hearts and the dowry boxes that were not too full in the courtyard, and her heart was confused, really, there was no harm if there was no comparison.

Before dawn the next day, the entire Shu family had already gotten up and started to prepare, and Qinglan was sleepy-eyed and was hugged by Pan's with a set of clothes. After getting dressed, Pan went out to fetch water and wash her. Qinglan looked at the small purse pinned to her waist, and suddenly had a plan.

Today is Shu Laosan's marriage, and the breakfast at home is mixed noodles, which means a long time. Qinglan thought about her own caution, ate a few bites indiscriminately, and saw that Shu Dalang had also finished eating, and pulled him to hide in the Xiazi.

Looking at the little bean in front of him, Da Lang said impatiently: "What is the god chattering about?" "He still has to go to pick up the third uncle! He had never ridden a livestock, and today the Qin family answered him and said that he would ride the donkey that the third uncle married!

"Do you want to see the sedan chair?" Qinglan lowered her voice and asked him with a smile.

"What do I want to do if I don't want to see it? The sedan chair is not allowed to give more money, and grandma will definitely not let it. "I have to say that Da Lang still knows his grandmother quite well.

"That's... What if I pay for it? "Qinglan is like a bad Shu millet who seduces and sins.

Da Lang's eyes widened, "You have money?!" ”

"Shhhh Be quiet! Qinglan stretched out her hand and pinched the two small silver nudes and shook them: "I have New Year's money!" ”

Da Lang looked at him enviously and sniffed, "Then what good do I have!" ”

Qinglan rolled her eyes, "You don't want to see it?" Have you forgotten that in your class, there was a classmate's uncle who married him, and they turned the sedan chair upside down, and you didn't come back and talk about it for many days? Qinglan can't say too long sentences now, and she doesn't have enough gas.

Da Lang rolled his eyes, "Then you ask the second aunt to ask for five pieces of beef jerky from that kind of restaurant for me, you give it to me, don't let them see it." "They're not just referring to Jiro Saburo.

Foodie!

Since beating Qinglan has grown eight rice teeth, Pan Erniang often takes some hard beef or hard biscuits for her to grind her teeth (Niang, I'm not a puppy), by chance, Qinglan ate the spicy beef prepared by Pan Erniang for Shu Lao Er, big love! It was made by a Sichuan-style chef who had just been hired by a restaurant, the beef was dry and chewy, her gums were numb, and she continued to pester Pan Erniang the next day. Pan Erniang has never wronged Qinglan in terms of food and clothing, so she makes more dim sum every day and changes the beef jerky of the Sichuan master.

Once Da Lang came to Shu Lao Er to ask about his homework, it happened that Qing Lan was eating beef jerky, so she had to give Da Lang two pieces of love.

Qinglan didn't expect him to remember it, thinking of his prank "big drama", and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, you go quickly!" ”

Da Lang stretched out his hand, and Qinglan told him uneasily: "Don't let Hu Hua or let others see it." Don't tell anyone, no one! Either I won't give you any more jerky, and I won't give you anything else! ”

"Ang Angang, I know" Da Lang agreed, took the money and ran away.

The sedan chair is a common part of marriage in Luxi, and it has the beautiful implication of upside down the phoenix. (Wonderful...) )

There is very little entertainment in this era, and getting married is a big one! The men in the bar class of the sedan chair are very strong, even people with a sedan chair of hundreds of catties, the bride was turned upside down but did not dare to make a sound, let people hear the joke to death, and the bride can not get off the sedan chair halfway, can only endure, outside to see the lively people applauded to pass.

Qinglan rode on Shu Lao's neck, and was carried by him to welcome Shu Laosan. Out of the main street, I saw Shu Laosan and his marriage team from a distance from the bend, Shu Laosan took the lead, clasped his fists with both hands, thanked the fellow who congratulated him along the road, and smiled almost to the root of his ears.

"Dad, what are you riding when you marry your mother?" Qinglan bent down and asked.

"Horses." Shu Lao Er blinked.

"Oh." Qinglan didn't ask any more questions.

When Shu Laosan got closer, when he arrived at the main street not far from the mouth of the alley, the sedan chair suddenly stopped. Then, the slogans of the men in the bar class shouted out, and the melon-eating crowd quickly stepped forward to watch.

Here it is, Qinglan thought badly.
