On August 28, it is advisable to get married. This day is a big day for the landlord of Huaxi Village to marry his daughter. Not only the county seat has come to the big officials, but even the provincial capital has come to the big officials. In the county seat, in the town, and in the nearby Shili Eight Villages, everyone with an identity, whether they were invited or not, as long as they had contact with the Qian family, all came. In addition, the villagers with good relations in several villages can't sit down at all.

As a result, the Qian family's compound was also used to entertain nearby villagers, and Qian Dagui and his wife were responsible for entertaining them here.

In the garden, the guests of the provincial and county towns were entertained, as well as some merchants and landlords and squires. Qian Sigui led Aunt Li and Qian Hua to entertain male guests in the front yard, Qian Xiang and Wang led Wei to entertain female guests in the main courtyard, and Qian Yijin was responsible for receiving guests at the door.

The Qian Manchuan brothers, the Li brothers and Qian Yishan led Dewa, Huwa and others, not only responsible for blocking the door and asking for red envelopes, but also responsible for sending relatives. It was the first time for Dewa and Huwa to participate in such an important foreign affairs event, not only dressed festively, but also very seriously. Early in the morning, I moved two small stools to sit at the door of the outer courtyard, ready to block the door and ask for red envelopes.

Especially if it is a baby, a milk doll that is only two years old in a month, and I have to ask every other moment, "Why haven't the officials come yet?" If you don't come again, Dewa will be an official. ”

Someone didn't understand, and said with a smile, "Yo, this little baby is promising, and she is still wearing open crotch pants, so she wants to be an official." ”

Those who understood laughed and said, "People are talking about the groom's official ......."

It made everyone laugh.

Qian Yixiu, who had nothing to do, finally got rid of the monkey girl and let him follow the monkey brother to play with Grandpa Liang in Xiyuan.

Liang Zezhong was reluctant to go to the outer courtyard to join in the fun, and led the white wolf and the Dashan family to play in Hexi Garden.

sent Brother Monkey and Sister Monkey away, and led Sister Lan, Sister Qing, and Duoduo to Cuizhuxuan.

Sister Qing was still very unhappy and asked, "Why don't you take Monkey Sister to see Aunt Xia?" It's so well-behaved. Sister Qing likes the monkey girl very much, in addition to sleeping, she is almost inseparable from it, and she also said that she will learn to make beautiful clothes for the monkey girl when she goes home.

Qian Yixiu explained, "Of course the monkey sister is well-behaved, but the monkey brother is naughty, and he is crazy." If it goes to my aunt, it doesn't know what trouble it will cause. ”

Last night, the animal house came back and sent a ginseng to Qian Manxia, because Qian Manxia bathed and cooked for them the most.

Although the ginseng year is not long, and many roots have been torn off, Qian Manxia is still moved to the red circles of her eyes and accepts their love.

This made Mrs. Zhang and others sigh when they saw it, and said that these livestock still know how to repay their kindness and remember their feelings, which is much better than some people.

There are many female guests sitting in Cuizhuxuan, and Qian Manxia, who is dressed in red, is sitting cross-legged on the bed, embroidered with phoenix peonies on her red clothes, and her little face is even more crimson and beautiful. A long black hair hung down like a waterfall, and the Quanfu man Song was combing her hair.

Song sang while combing, "One comb to the end, the second comb to the white hair to the eyebrows, the third comb to the children and grandchildren all over the ground, the fourth comb to the four silver shoots are all marked." ”

After combing her hair, Song opened her face with colorful silk threads, and sang blessings in her mouth.

The Song family is really the best candidate for Quanfu, and Qian Yixiu has long remembered it in his heart. A few days ago, Wu was about to ask Wang to give Qian Manxia a full blessing, but Qian Yixiu denied it, she said that the blessing of the Zhang family's wife Song was better.

Qian Sangui said happily when he heard this, "Mrs. Zhang's blessing is the best, if she can be invited to be a blessed person for Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia will really be blessed in the future." He hesitated again, "It's just, can Mrs. Zhang be willing?" ”

Qian Yixiu said with a big bag, "No problem, I promise to invite my aunt." ”

This made Wang, who had been waiting for the Wu family at home to invite him to be a Quanfu person, extremely disappointed, and felt that there was no woman in the nearby ten miles and eight villages who was more blessed than himself, and he didn't know who he would invite if he didn't invite Sanfang. also whispered to Qian Dagui, "I don't believe that Sanfang can invite the Queen Mother to be a blessed person." ”

But when she heard that Qian Manxia's Quanfu person turned out to be Master Zhang's wife, she was relieved, she was indeed not as blessed as others.

Quanfu people comb the bride's hair just for show, and there are other people who really comb their hair. Combed Qian Manxia's hair, first put on a big red velvet flower on her head (representing glory), then put on a beaded crown, and put on red embroidered shoes embroidered with the pattern of "Yutang Wealth".

Everyone was loudly praising the bride's beauty and blessings, which made Qian Manxia even more shy.

The biggest difference between her and Qian Mandie on the day she got married was not how much better her clothes or accessories, but how full of happiness she had in her eyes. Although there is also a strong reluctance to his mother's family, there is no Sihao's fear and fear of the future.

This is the difference between mutual understanding and blind marriage.

The qiē and qiē here all made the young girls who watched the excitement envious, Qian Manting whispered to Qian Yixiu, "Sister Xia is so good-looking, Sister Xia is really blessed." ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of drums and firecrackers in the front yard, as well as the laughter of men.

"Ouch, the groom has come to pick up someone." Several older women laughed loudly.

When Qian Manxia heard this, she knew that she was going to leave this home where she had stayed for fifteen years in the next moment, so she cried. Qian Yixiu also shed tears, she was reluctant to let her little aunt go.

After a while, Wan Dazhong, who was wearing a red robe and tied with a big red flower, led a few young children into Cuizhuxuan, and kept smiling at the women around him. In the midst of laughter, he led Qian Manxia, who was hazy with teary eyes, to walk out.

The little aunt may not be tall because she "has done more and eaten less since she was a child", about 1.55 meters. Standing beside the tall and handsome Wan Dazhong, he is as petite as a bird. But the two walked together without any incongruity, the man is like a mountain, and the woman is like water, and they seem to be the most compatible pair in the world.

Many female dependents stopped in front of the Moon Gate, Qian Yixiu and Duoduo still followed out, and the country children didn't have so many scruples.

Sister Qing also wanted to go out with her, but was persuaded by her girl. The little girl Qian Manting paused, but like the ladies of many large families, she stayed in the inner courtyard.

When they came to the front yard, a couple of newcomers kowtowed to the old man Qian and the two Qian Sangui in the hall. Qian Sangui said to Qian Manxia with red circles in his eyes that after getting married, he should honor his father-in-law and serve his husband, and asked Wan Dazhong to treat his daughter well. Speaking of the back, he couldn't help choking, Wu had already cried, which also made Qian Manxia cry even more.

Wan Dazhong kowtowed and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely take good care of Aunt Xia, and he will cherish it." ”

These words were not sweet words in the previous life, but in ancient times, this kind of loving daughter-in-law was generally not said by men in public. Qian Yixiu, who was standing at the door, was also quite moved when she heard it, and felt that the little aunt had found the right person.

But many men scoffed a little, including Song Siye. I feel that a gentleman is not ashamed to say this in public.

Qian Yixiu looked at Song Siye and other men who were pouting, and secretly sneered, the logic of these ancient people was really problematic. If Zhengda Guangming said these words to those famous prostitutes with red cards, or even more sensual words, he would be described as romantic and elegant, but it would be a shame to say this to his wife.

Qian Sangui was moved, nodded and said, "Okay, good, good boy, I am also relieved that Aunt Xia will marry you." ”

After that, Qian Manchuan carried Qian Manxia on his back and got on the sedan chair.

The dowry given by the Wan family to the Qian family was very rich, and the money was not kept at all, and it was returned as a dowry. Purchased by his own family, plus some relatives and friends, a total of 36 dowries. These dowries are not only a lot of money, but they are also real, the boxes are full, and the things are good.

The first lift is a pair of cloisonne vases sent by the officials of the capital, the second lift is the four jacquard brocades sent by the officials of the provincial capital, the third lift is a wood carving sent by the county magistrate, and the fourth lift is a straight box with ten clods of soil (representing a hundred acres of land)......

This generosity and great face made the squires such as Landlord Li and Landlord Wang hot.

As soon as the dowry bearer finished, he began to play drums and firecrackers, and Wan Dazhong rode a majestic high-headed horse (the horse was borrowed from Liang Daren with Liang) to walk forward, and the sedan chair followed closely behind, and walked towards Huaxi Village.

The villagers of Huaxi Village, Erliu Village, and Darong Village all crowded on the side of the road to watch the excitement, and saw that the first dowry was almost to the east of the village, and the last dowry was to the west of the village.

The villagers talked a lot, when the boy of the Wan family and the daughter of the Qian family got married, they thought that Wan Dazhong had lost money, but now they know that the kid made a big profit. I knew that my family should have said goodbye to the Qian family when it was the poorest, then these dowries would be their own, which is really a front eye but not a back eye.

Even Mrs. Fan's heart was throbbing, why did her second boy who had no eyes remember that stupid widow. If it was Qian Manxia who was teasing at the beginning, wouldn't so many good things have to be carried into his home?

Not to mention the envy, jealousy and hatred of these people, except for Qian Yijin, who went to see off his relatives, the rest of the people in the third room of the Qian family cried. Especially Cheng Yue, watching the family send-off team walk through the path on the wasteland by the window, disappearing at the entrance of the village, crying with tears in her eyes. At the beginning, she watched her mother-in-law send Brother Jiang away from this road, and now she watched her son send her sister-in-law away from this road.

And Wan Dazhong, who was sitting on the horse, grinned and laughed non-stop, but his heart was full of emotion.

Nine and a half years ago, he and his father escorted the princess back to Beijing. When I was living at the Wenxian Post Station and preparing to take the boat the next day, I didn't want to hear the rumor that King Ning had killed his brother and killed the prince and had been imprisoned.

This rumor was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made the princess feel painful, and she actually gave birth to Her Royal Highness early.

The prince already has three daughters and no sons. That's why the princess was allowed to go to Daci Temple in person to ask for a child, and to recite the sutra in the temple for three months.

This gave birth to a son, but the child has only seen the sky for more than seven months, and the future of the prince in the capital is uncertain.

In order to save King Ning's blood and bones just in case, the princess let their father and son take the child to hide the people, she continued to go north, and said to the outside world that the child was born prematurely and died.

Wen County is not far from Xishan County, and Wan Erniu's hometown Darong Village is within the jurisdiction of Xishan County. The father and son took the child day and night to their hometown Darong Village, and brought a little dog with them. This puppy was bought at a high price when they were in Wen County. I wanted to take it to the palace of the capital to take care of the family, but now I escaped with it.

Although His Royal Highness has seen the sky for more than seven months, he is very healthy. When passing through a small village, the father and son would find out which family had a woman who was nursing a child, so they would carry the child to the door and pay for the woman of the family to help feed her. In this way, he returned to Xishan County safely.

They didn't dare to go back to Darong Village directly with their children, and they didn't know what to do, when they heard on the road that the stupid daughter-in-law of the Qian family in the third room in the west of Huaxi Village was about to give birth in the next few days. are all talking about how crippled, stupid, stupid, and crazy the family is, how can they survive with more mouths.

Wan Erniu is about the same age as Qian Sangui, and he also knew Qian Sangui when he was in the village, and knew that he was a bold man with an ancient way. Put the child at his house, the child has milk to eat, and he can rest assured.

Isn't the Qian family's three-room poor? Then put a few pieces of silver cakes in the child's quilt, and for those few pieces of silver cakes, Qian Sangui will also raise His Royal Highness. But you can't give more money, which is easy to arouse suspicion.

What a coincidence, that night, when the father and son put the child at the door of Qian's house, they heard that his daughter-in-law had also given birth.

The next day, the news that the stupid daughter-in-law of the Qian family gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins spread. This made the father and son of the Wan family extremely happy, and His Royal Highness could hide even deeper.

They found that some thugs often went around the third room of the Qian family, and the waiter wanted to see or tease the stupid daughter-in-law who was said to look like a fairy. Wan Dazhong, who had just turned fourteen, invited those gangsters to drink a few times and became "good brothers". After that, several people often went to the west of Huaxi Village together, either to learn how to bark frogs and learn to bark dogs, or to coax and say something to tease the little widow.

This made the good posterity Wan Dazhong very uncomfortable, but he had to do it for the sake of His Royal Highness.

One day, Wan Erniu asked Wan Dazhongdao, "What do you think of that little girl from the old Qian family?" ”

Wan Dazhong didn't know what his father meant, so he said casually, "Skinny as a material." But she is a diligent little girl, with a gentle temperament, and she is also very patient with His Royal Highness. ”

Wan Erniu said again, "You will marry this girl in the future." ”

Wan Dazhong was surprised, the little girl was just six years old, not much taller than her thighs.

"How is it possible, she is still so young!" Wan Dazhong blushed and said.

Wan Erniu said, "In another nine years, she will not be small...... If there is no hope for the prince to turn over, then we must raise His Royal Highness. You marry his aunt, which is conducive to taking better care of His Royal Highness. If the prince turns over and His Royal Highness returns to the palace, then your future will be great. ”

Whether Wan Dazhong wants it or not, his father just made a decision.

After that, when he climbed the tree and looked at His Royal Highness, his eyes would always involuntarily drift to the skinny little girl.

As the years passed, he watched the little girl grow up, grow taller, and her delicate face became more and more beautiful. What hasn't changed is her crisp laughter, gentle personality, and busy figure over the years...... (To be continued.) )
