Chapter 136: There is a high hall
Speaking of which, Zhao Yongxiao's marriage was almost handled by Zhao Siniang's family. As for the other "relatives", hehe, not to mention the old man and his wife in Zhaojia Village, just talking about Zhao Yongnian's family, which is close at hand, the family of five did not even appear in a single figure, and they did not even ask someone to send a congratulatory gift.
Despite this, Zhao Yongxiao got married, but it was not good not to invite his father and brother.
So Zhao Yongxiao took time out of his busy schedule to go to Lao Zhao's house and presented the invitation with both hands.
But as a result, Zhao Yongxiao didn't hear a word of blessing, but was beaten down. Even the old man Zhao, who was still angry, made it clear that Zhao Yongxiao loved everything, and no one in the old Zhao family would ever drink his wedding wine anyway.
It's okay if Zhao Yongnian's family doesn't attend, but if Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, who are the man's parents, don't come, you can imagine how embarrassed Zhao Yongxiao will be at the wedding banquet. After all, Zhao Yongxiao didn't die and his father didn't die, but his father and mother were both absent, what does this mean? Isn't it just hinting to everyone that Zhao Yongxiao is not filial, and wants the people who come to the banquet to poke his backbone!
If this is Zhao Yongzhong, he will definitely beg hard in the old Zhao family, and try his best to satisfy his insatiable father, so as to exchange for the arrival of the second elder.
But Zhao Yongxiao, who grew up eating the same water and rice, acted differently from his third brother, and he was angry with Li Cuiping in advance, so he turned around and left, neatly.
Not coming? Cut, then pull it down!
What can Mr. and Mrs. Zhao do about this? The two of them thought about the conditions and were about to open their mouths, but the unfilial son was stunned and didn't even give them a chance to speak.
Hmph, unfilial thing, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!
As a result, Zhao Qiao's family counted Zhao Yongxiao when he met people in the village. After the beating of Lizheng last time, she didn't dare to say that he was not filial, but the meaning was almost the same, so that the whole village knew that they were extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Yongxiao and would never drink happy wine.
But now. Zhao Erlang actually came to the door, and said that his family asked him to congratulate his fourth uncle. Hey, could it be that the old Zhao family Tianliang found out?
Not like!
Will someone send a jar of wine when they give a congratulatory gift? No matter how poor people are, they can't do such a thing, no matter what it is. How do you make a pair?
Zhao Erlang also knew that it was not good to give a small jar of wine, but his father looked at the money closely, and at the age of fourteen, he didn't even have a penny of private money, so he quietly took out the jar of wine in his hand, and he couldn't take anything else.
Although I can't look down on the style of the old Zhao family. But the Li family will also go not to embarrass a child, and learned that he actually wanted to take the opportunity to find Zhao Siniang, so they led him to the backyard of the tofu factory - at this time, Zhao Siniang's sisters were following the Song family and the Jiang family to decorate the new house.
Everyone was surprised by Zhao Erlang's arrival, but they still greeted him warmly.
Despite Zhao Erlang's stumbling appearance, Zhao Yuanniang and Zhao Siniang still vaguely guessed his true intentions.
So, the sisters led him out the back door, and when they saw that there was no one around, they didn't hide it from him, and directly told him what his father was doing outside.
I am grateful to Zhao Erlang for saving his life to the Song family. Zhao Yuanniang specially reminded him that it was best to guard against his father, he was afraid that his outer room was not easy to get along with, and it was difficult to guarantee that his father would be unfavorable to his mother.
I remember that in the previous life, it was in this autumn that Zhao Erlang's mother, Qiao, suddenly fell ill with an emergency, but passed away in about ten days.
It is a very unusual thing for a person who is usually very healthy to die suddenly in a short period of time, but at that time, Zhao Yuanniang herself could not be protected, and she never imagined that someone in the world would murder the wife who gave birth to children for him, so even though she was doubtful at that time, she did not think deeply.
Now. Zhao Yuanniang knew that Zhao Yongnian had the motive to kill his wife, and then thought about it carefully, after Qiao's serious illness, Zhao Yongnian sent her back to Lao Zhao's house. said that she should come back to recuperate with peace of mind. But instead of inviting her to see Dr. Shen, who had the highest medical skills in the neighborhood, he asked You Fanglang, who was found out of nowhere, to treat Qiao's until he died.
In addition, in the previous life, Zhao Qiao's family sent Zhao Yuanniang to take care of Qiao's family, and Zhao Yuanniang clearly remembered Qiao's constant vomiting and diarrhea before he died, and his thick hair was almost gone, and even a few teeth were lost - now I think about it. It's not like you're seriously ill, it's like you've been poisoned.
However, all this is just Zhao Yuanniang's speculation, and she did not find any evidence. And even if it was really Zhao Yongnian who poisoned and murdered, it was a matter of the previous life, in this life, his stealing of the outer room has been discovered by Zhao Siniang, even if he has the heart to do evil, it is estimated that he has not had the courage to do evil after being beaten, at most, he is embarrassed by Qiao's family, and it will not harm people's lives.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanniang just mentioned one or two points in an ominous manner, and after seeing Zhao Erlang nodding solemnly, she was completely relieved.
However, all the things that happened since then proved that Zhao Yuanniang was relieved too early, she really underestimated the viciousness of Zhao Yongnian and his concubine, and the murder was staged again, and what was even more uncomfortable was that Zhao Erlang and even Zhao Yongxiao and his wife and the Li family were involved.
For a long time later, Zhao Yuanniang couldn't help but regret - if only he hadn't reminded Zhao Erlang more, in that case, Qiao's family might still be unable to escape death, but the result would probably not be so tragic......
That's for later, so let's not mention it for now, but at the moment.
Soon the next day, Zhao Yongxiao's wedding was held as scheduled.
Everyone had already done a good job of psychological construction, and they all thought that it would be better if the people of the old Zhao family did not come to participate, after all, no one wanted to see some black-faced troublemakers on the big day. As for the impact of the man's absence, everyone also wants to open it, even if there are good people who gossip about it, then let them go, the mouth grows on other people's bodies, they can't take care of it, and they don't have the time to care, and it's the most important thing to live a good life.
However, I don't know why, the old man Zhao, who was still chirping crookedly two days ago, actually reversed himself again, and before lunch that day, I saw him leading a large family to coax over.
The most amazing thing is that the old couple is still smiling all over their faces, and even in the name of coming to help, they can't wait to point fingers in the yard as soon as they enter the door, putting on a look of being so unenthusiastic.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the smile on Zhao Qiao's face only lasted less than a stick of incense. When she looked at the familiar yard, and then thought of the eldest girl she hadn't seen for a long time, her heart was extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't hold back and wanted to be weird.
Fortunately, before going out, Zhao Qiao's family got the strict order of Old Man Zhao, and she knew that the patriarch was also invited, and because of the majesty of the two, she finally didn't make a fuss on the big day. It's just that some of the faces can't help but come out.
Despite this, everyone still felt very relieved - it's good to come, everyone really doesn't have high requirements for the old Zhao family.
Zhao Yongxiao behaved so singlely before, but he should still be very concerned about whether his father and mother can attend the wedding banquet, right?
Seeing the joy of Zhao Yongxiao's eyes. Zhao Siniang began to struggle, or let her father go this time - hum, I really thought I didn't know! Lao Zhao's family will cooperate like this, it's not the result of you buying it with money!
As if feeling the look like substance, Zhao Yongzhong, who had been bowing his head and pretending to be a quail, quietly glanced sideways. Unfortunately, facing Zhao Siniang's little eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he immediately buried his head in garlic.
As Zhao Siniang expected, the old man and his wife Zhao will be so "loving" today, which is completely due to Zhao Yongzhong's "credit".
Now Zhao Siniang's family is in charge of the accounts by Zhao Siniang, and she will carefully calculate every income and expenditure, even if it is a penny short, she will be more serious to the end.
However, Zhao Siniang, who is so "baht-free", is very loose on weekdays, and she distributes a large amount of pocket money to her family every month, and Zhao Yongzhong is the nominal head of the family. Naturally, the pocket money I got was the most. No, in just a few months, the scattered silver in Zhao Yongzhong's pocket is almost ten taels.
So this money plays an important role at a critical moment. No, when all the silver from Bai Huahua was transferred to Zhao Qiao's pocket, he finally bought the second elder and smiled.
Zhao Yongzhong, who knew that he had made a big mistake, couldn't wait to roll himself into a skin, so as to reduce his sense of existence. However, at this moment, in addition to being apprehensive, he was very happy at the same time, and he felt that it was worth the money!
Seeing his father's stupid look of smirking. Zhao Siniang only felt a heart jam.
In desperation, Zhao Siniang had to comfort herself and said, anyway, there was not much money, which was not a big loss. It doesn't matter! Let's not be angry! By the way, it turns out that the appearance fee of the "royal relatives" is so low, and it can be sent away for just a few taels of silver! Haha, hahaha!
But I didn't want to, it was precisely because of Zhao Siniang's gentle letting go this time that Zhao Yongzhong couldn't make Zhao Yongzhong have a longer memory. Soon after, he made the same mistake again. It's just that he was not so lucky this time, and what he did caused Zhao Siniang's family to suffer huge losses.
What's even more tragic is that Zhao Yongzhong, who spent all his money to avoid disasters, was beaten by the old Zhao family. Alas, with such a lowly and invincible relative, Zhao Yongzhong is afraid that he has not cultivated in his previous life.
"Yo, I'll count, there are six meat dishes in the cold dish alone!"
Qiao Shi didn't care what the people in the yard were saying, she didn't greet her as soon as she entered the door, and she turned around and touched the stove when she was familiar with the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Qiao's was blinded by the various cold dishes that had been packed, and just wanted to get his hands on the meat dishes inside, Leng Buding saw that there was an octagonal luodian lacquerware painted with mandarin ducks playing in the water next to the cold dishes, and he didn't eat the meat when he landed, grabbed the lid of the lacquerware with one hand, and took out a few longans from it with the other, and praised the lacquerware while snorting.
"It's so fresh! When the main family married their second daughter-in-law, Liang Yufang brought such a jewelry box from home, I heard that it was an authentic Jinghai Luodian lacquerware, which was worth the old money! I want to reach out and touch her sister-in-law, what's the matter......
"By the way, this one is bigger than that, the pattern is better, and it must be more expensive! It is said that the third family has made a lot of money, tsk, as soon as you look at this box, you know that people are not spreading it. It's just a brother and sister, you can't just patronize the fourth brother, and forget your own brother......"
Seeing Qiao Shi talking loudly while foaming at the mouth while spitting longan shells around, even the good-tempered Jiang couldn't help frowning.
It turned out that although the wedding banquet in the evening was set up next door to Li Ji, Li Ji's kitchen was too small, so the cold dishes were stored in the original Xu Ji, that is, the stove room of the new house. At the same time, the lacquerware placed here was not an ordinary fruit for feasting, but an eight-grid wishful wish box that would be placed on the table in the new room for a while. According to the tradition of Jinghai, it is filled with red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds, cypress branches, cake balls, walnuts, lilies, etc., which means that "early birth of a noble son, a hundred years of good harmony", all of which are indispensable.
But all local daughters-in-law can recognize this kind of happy box at a glance, after all, who has nothing to do in the ordinary fruit box to put cypress branches in? It is impossible to reach out to it.
But the native Qiao didn't seem to know this custom at all, after eating longan and eating red dates, seeing that she stretched out her magic grasp to the cake ball, Jiang Shi, who couldn't bear it, opened his mouth and persuaded: "Second sister-in-law, it's just that the other fruits are just returned, this cake ball was bought from the Xipu Lianyun Building in the city." Don't look at the twelve, it's a set, each engraved with a different pattern! It wouldn't be nice if there was one less, so let's leave it alone! ”
Qiao's eyes were slight, and his face was dissatisfied.
Xu is Qiao Shi saw that her brother and daughter-in-law, who had always been obedient to her, dared to open her mouth to stop her today, and she saw it in her heart, which aroused her lonely nature.
Don't let me move? I want to move, what can you do with me?
So, Qiao took advantage of Jiang's unpreparedness, quickly touched a handful of cake balls placed on the top, and muttered in his mouth.
Qiao's voice was too low, and Jiang didn't hear what she was talking about. However, Jiang Shi saw that Qiao's was still measured, so he only touched it and didn't take it, so he laughed dryly and let it go gently.
On this happy day, the Jiang family didn't want to make trouble with the concubine for this matter.
However, Li Cuilian, who was also busy in the stove room, understood that Qiao's was complaining about Jiang's "stinginess", and seeing that the good auspicious lines on the pastries were stunned by Qiao's stinginess, she couldn't help but feel angry, sneered, and said, "Stingy? I've never heard of an iron rooster, but I didn't expect to see a sugar rooster today, not only do I have to stick two hairs from others, it's really an eye-opener! ”
Such a mockery, if other daughters-in-law heard it, they would definitely make a big red face, but who is Qiao's family, her face is not red and her heart is not beating, she came empty-handed, she calmly chewed the red dates in her mouth, and naturally took a piece of pork ribs from the cold dish and gnawed it, and said that this was to help them taste salty.
When encountering such a superlative, Li Cuilian's nose was almost crooked, and she rushed to Qiao's front to block Qiao's claws that refused to stop.
"What is this doing? On a good day, why is the in-law girl like a black-eyed chicken? "One of the best hasn't been solved yet, and another one has come, and the new one is still an enhanced version.
Li Cuilian looked at Zhao Qiao's who couldn't spit out ivory from the dog's mouth, and shouted in her heart.
Sure enough, I saw Zhao Qiaoshi pacing in as the master, and glanced around the stove with disdain.
"The third daughter-in-law hurried up, put this, this, and that...... Take a food box and put it up and send it to the house of Master Wang next door. Zhao Qiaoshi supported Jiang's family, and turned his head to greet the old woman who came with her warmly: "Small family, how can there be any good things?" Madame Wang, don't dislike it. Although these dishes are not worth anything, they are rare and clean, and it is still possible to make a snack for Mr. Wang. ”
Although the few dishes that Zhao Qiao's family ordered just now were the highest prices among all kinds of cold dishes, these cold dishes were different from custom-made pastries, and Zhao Siniang's family had enough dishes, so it was nothing to take out a few plates and give them away.
Jiang is not a stingy person, on weekdays, she who is filial must have started to be busy loading vegetables at this time.
But when Jiang saw the appearance of the old woman dressed in wealth and nobility, she stretched her face in front of Zhao Qiaoshi for the first time.
Jiang is a good daughter-in-law, but she is also a mother.
Even on such a good day, Jiang couldn't put on a smiling face in front of the enemy who trapped her daughter in the Jedi, even if she was a mother, and what she did was for her own daughter. (To be continued.) )
