Chapter 223: Marriage
With the consent of the Li family, here, the Liu family quickly greeted them, and in two days, they were ready to use the things for the marriage! There are six rites of marriage here, and some places in modern times also have this custom, the six rites are to accept the color, ask the name, Naji, Nazheng, invite the period, and welcome!
Since both parties are interested, the matchmaker Wang ran diligently again, and the two sides exchanged the eight characters of the birthday, and then the matchmaker invited someone to join it, which is a superior marriage! When the two families got this result, they were very happy and exchanged Geng posts directly!
Immediately after that, it was decided, Liu Shijie prepared the bride price and sent it directly to the Li family with great fanfare, on this day, Lijia Village and Liushutun were boiling!
The real twelve dowry gifts are all good wood, and the cloth, bedding, and head and face are all really good things, a full twelve, which makes the people in Lijia Village who are waiting to marry their daughters envious and jealous!
Er Liushutun, everyone's eyes have been opened!
"The old Shi family has lived this day, look at it, this dowry, twelve!"
"Yes, I don't know what he did for a living, making so much money!"
"It's very difficult to look at their family, and there is a sick tuberculosis, which is also capable of Shijie's child!"
Looking at the dowry brought out from the Liu family, the people in the village came out to see the rarity, the poorest people came out with the best dowry, you know, ten miles and eight villages, the average dowry is six, some will have eight, some are really poor, less, or even if they make up six, they are not real things!
Liu Shijie walked in front refreshed and smiling. Keep saying hello to the uncle on the side of the road!
"Shijie, you have to work hard if you marry a daughter-in-law, I heard that it is still the Li family in Lijia Village. Blessed are you, boy! An old man saw Liu Shijie's smile on his face and explained earnestly!
"Got it, second uncle, let's hurry over!" Liu Shijie happily agreed, no need to be said by others, he will definitely be good to him!
Rarely, Liu Laoshi also stood at the door with a cane. The forehead that has been wrinkled all the year round is also stretched, and there is no sad look in the past, watching his son walk in front. Lead the young lads out with the dowry! Full of love!
"Lao Shi, you are also blessed, your son is really powerful, our kid can't compare!" More than envy the dowry. The man of the same age as Liu Laoshi is very envious. This son is raised, he is proficient in hunting and farming, and he can earn this family business at a young age, think about his own stinky boy, and he has to raise it all day long!
"It's also my own incompetence, which has affected my son and made him suffer!" Liu Laoshi and Yourongyan straightened their backs and stood at the door, watching their son set off!
Along. The villagers I saw, whether they knew each other or didn't know each other, were asking whose family was in such a big battle. I haven't seen so many dowries for many years, and then as soon as I heard that it was the girl of the Li family in Lijia Village, everyone suddenly realized, this should also be, the Li family has such a big family business, which is more powerful than the landlord's family, how can I be embarrassed to ask for marriage without more dowry!
If you want to talk about the dowry, the three members of the Liu family have made a lot of effort, many things are personally picked by Liu Shijie, the most striking thing is the fur of a machine, which Liu Shijie saved on weekdays, since the lion's mane mushroom began to make money, the good fur Liu Shijie has left!
After the marriage with Li Ruyi was decided, Liu Shijie went up the mountain for a few days, beat a lot of animals, and the nitrate fur was neatly stacked together, and many women looked straight at it.
The bridal gifts wrapped in red silk are getting closer and closer to Lijia Village, and the villagers who are working in the fields can't help but stop their movements!
"Hey, the fourth family, whose happy event do you say this is? It looks like you're here in our village! A woman said to a woman working in the field.
"I don't know, I haven't heard who it is, hey, I'll count, these are twelve dowry, such a big battle, let's go, let's take a look!" Drop the guy and want to see the excitement!
"This job isn't done yet!" The other woman hesitated!
"It's not bad for a while, let's go, hurry up!" Pull people forward!
Lijia Village suddenly became lively, there was no gossip for a long time, and now everyone is talking about old things, and finally there is a new topic, busy and chatting about melon seeds, all follow the fun!
Watching the team walk in the direction of the Li family, after a while, many people gathered at the door of the Li family! Seeing that the team of dowry gifts was getting closer and closer, everyone spontaneously gave way!
"Sister-in-law, let's come, look, this child still has to prepare the dowry by himself, and the things here are all prepared by the child!" Mrs. Wang led Liu Shijie into Li's house!
I have already gotten the letter of the Liu family, and I know that the Liu family will come over today, no, no one in the family went out today, and they are all waiting at home, at this time, in the hall of the main courtyard of the Li family, Li Qingshan and the Niu family are sitting on the main seat, and Li Anfu and the Hu family are sitting on both sides!
"Auntie, please come in, this is Shijie, come and sit!" Now that the matter has been decided, the dissatisfaction with the conditions of the Liu family has also dispersed. Especially seeing that the dowry was so large and earned enough face for the Li family, Hu, as the eldest sister-in-law, hurriedly got up and was responsible for welcoming the guests, greeting Mrs. Wang and Liu Shijie's mother and son!
"Anfu's family, Anshou's family, don't get up, be careful!" Mrs. Wang knew that the two daughters-in-law of the Li family were pregnant, and now that she has been more than three months, she is slowly starting to show her pregnancy, and she is afraid of bumping into it!
"Auntie, sit down!" Niu got up and gave up his seat, and he had to let Mrs. Wang sit on the seat, but Mrs. Wang didn't look at her current status in the Li family, and she didn't sit down because her nephew came to ask for marriage. Just sit on the sidelines!
Looking at the young man in front of him, his eyes were bright, his posture was steady, he looked at everyone with a smile, and the Niu family, who was called by his aunt and uncle, was very satisfied with his future son-in-law!
Li Ruyi, Li Hui and Li Xiu were in the back room, secretly looking at Liu Shijie through the door curtain, always paying attention to the progress ahead!
"Sister-in-law, take a look. How good the sister-in-law is to you, the dowry is real. And a box of furs! "Li Hui and Li Xiu joke!
"You two, you're so annoying!" Li Ruyi retracted her gaze, her face was red, and she stared at the two little nieces, but she didn't dare to make her voice loud, and she heard it smelling coquettish!
But here, Li Hui and Li Xiu kept making fun of him. Li Ruyi ran out embarrassed, and didn't want to stay with those two ghost elves at all!
Seeing the door of the Li family close from the inside, the villagers of the Li family village knew that they were talking about things inside. I don't want to be disturbed, so I dispersed, but this dowry is also a topic that everyone talks about!
And those who envy have red eyes. What's even more stuffy for someone's heart is. As soon as I entered the village, I saw a long list of dowry gifts entering Li's house, and after inquiring about the origin of the matter, Li Yuer became even more angry!
Why didn't Wang Wenbin want Li Ruyi, and he became a talented lady as he wished, but Li Ruyi found a better one in a blink of an eye, why, when he got married, the dowry and dowry were worthy of eight sets. This is a slap in the face, and the limelight of this talented lady has been compared again!
"Mother. Why is that Li Ruyi not as good-looking as me, and his figure is not as good as mine, so ugly can he still find such a good one! As soon as Li Yuer entered the house, she complained to the Zhao family!
Not to mention that Li Yuer is jealous, the Zhao family is also jealous, the red twelve dowry gifts, she was so angry that her eyes were red for a long time, but she didn't want to admit it!
"So what, it's not a peasant boy who can't even be a big character, how can he compare with his son-in-law, his son-in-law is a talent!" Zhao's unwilled comfort to his daughter is also to comfort himself!
In fact, only I know in my heart that since my daughter got married, it has been more than two months, and my daughter has come back a few times, but Wang Xiucai has not come over once, let alone any gifts, Zhao's silver is meat buns and dogs, there is no return, every time I think about it, I am angry that my liver hurts!
For the Zhao family, who has always taken advantage and refuses to suffer, it is simply digging her meat! But she didn't know that Wang Wenbin's mother, Mrs. Wang, was as good as her, and she didn't want to eat a single firewood!
In her opinion, it is a matter of course for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law and husband, Li Yuer is still the last to eat when she eats, and Li Yuer's dowry, some of the good things in it, were also coaxed away by Mrs. Wang under various pretexts!
In this way, Mrs. Wang still felt dissatisfied, and felt that Li Yuer would not get any benefits from her mother's family, her attitude towards Li Yuer became worse and worse, and what was even more excessive was that sometimes she didn't even let Li Yuer eat enough!
Li Yuer didn't dare to say anything when she went back to her parents' house, she didn't want the little sisters to see the jokes, and every time she said how good she was, in fact, only she knew the pain inside, and she had to suffer from Wang Wenbin's various perverted habits at night, and she couldn't sleep well every day, and Mrs. Wang still shouted from time to time during the day!
In two months, Li Yuer has lost a lot of weight, and the fatigue on her face can only be covered with fat powder!
Zhao's words made her feel a little better, and she couldn't stop cursing Li Ruyi for not having a good time, why would she surpass herself, she wouldn't be happy!
No matter how resentful and jealous Li Yuer and the Zhao family are here, the Li family's hall is still happy, especially knowing the Liu family's family background, and a sick father who is lying in bed, he relies on a child to support this family!
The more Niu and Li Qingshan looked at Liu Shijie, the more satisfied they became, it was really their mother-in-law who looked at their son-in-law, and they felt better and better, especially Liu Shijie was also polite, and he would definitely be a daughter-in-law in the future! Wang also looks like a gentle character, and he won't be a bad mother-in-law! Niu is very satisfied!
The two families were very satisfied, and soon discussed the date of marriage, because the Li brothers were going to participate in the scientific examination in the next two months, there was no time, and the Li family wanted to keep Li Ruyi for another two years, and they couldn't bear to let her marry so early, but this year is sixteen, most of them are married at this age, and the Li family is not good to stay!
So I decided to get married in the first half of next year, and the specific date will be picked after waiting for someone to see it, as for Liu Shijie, as long as you can marry your beloved girl, it doesn't matter if you are late, Liu Shijie is only caring about silly fun at this time, and he doesn't know how to get out of the Li family!
"Xiaojie, okay, don't giggle, hurry up and go home and tell your dad the good news!" Mrs. Wang has done this big thing, not only does she feel that she has face, but she is also really happy for her hard-working cousin and nephew!
"Sister, let's go back, thank you another day!" Wang knew that his cousin had really put a lot of effort into the middle, so he didn't say anything grateful!
"What are we sisters polite, this is also my nephew, I am also happy to marry a good daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Wang waved her hand at the two of them, didn't say much, and turned around and went home!
After sending off the guests, the Li family sat down to talk about the Liu family, and always felt that the Liu family was a real family, and they were relieved to marry the big guys in the past! At this time, I have time to count the dowry gifts brought by the Liu family!
Unexpectedly, under the first box with the head, there were actually thirty silver ingots neatly arranged, each of which was ten taels of silver, a total of three hundred taels, which was an astronomical amount for an ordinary farmer, but I didn't expect the Liu family to be so generous and so low-key!
It is estimated that he is afraid that others will see it, the middle of the box is separated by a cloth, and he can only see the two sets of heads on it, and the big guys don't know that there is silver below, I have to say that the Li family guessed correctly, the Liu family just doesn't want people to know that there is so much money, for fear of causing trouble!
But the Liu family wants to express their sincerity again, this is almost all the silver left in the family, it is rare that the Wang family and Liu Laoshi have no opinion, and put these in the dowry!
"Old woman, you put away the silver, we don't want it, bring it to Ruyi when we go back!" Now, everyone in the Li family is even more satisfied with this future uncle!
Li Hui knows best in her heart, in addition to the silver that Liu Shijie gave herself and Li Xiu, knowing that his father needs a large amount of medical expenses, and after removing these, it is estimated that there is only so much silver left, plus the head and face, as well as the fur, it is estimated that the whole family is more satisfied, and it is rare to be sincere to his sister-in-law!
"I know! Old man! ”
"When the time comes, let's add more dowry to Ruyi, and also give silver, so that Ruyi can put it in private, it is his own private money!" Li Qingshan decided that the Li family now also has some family background, and when the time comes, there will only be more to subsidize his daughter, not less!
Of course, everyone will not have an opinion, let alone the youngest sister! It's not that I'm afraid that she will be wronged in the future!
It wasn't until the people from the Liu family left that the people in the village who were familiar with each other came to the Li family to see the excitement, this one looked at the head, this one looked at the fur, and they were envious! Fortunately, Niu has already put away the silver!
"It would be nice if my daughter found such a family in the future, not only is she good-looking, but the dowry is also generous!" Wang looked at these dowries enviously and said that his eldest daughter lotus would not be able to stay for a few years! Although she is stingy, she also sincerely hopes that her child is good!
