Chapter 31: The Bride

At noon, Yunxiang and Xiao Wu went back to their own house to eat, and generally people who didn't come to help didn't care. But it's rare for even their grandchildren to eat. What's more, the Liu family is still a very wealthy family in the mountain village.

When it was time for the bride's sedan chair to come, Yunxiang came up with Yunlian and Xiao Wuyi to join in the fun. She is a lover of Chinese culture, but she has never seen this authentic ancient wedding.

In the distance, the sound of suona came happily, and adults and children all ran outside to watch the excitement. Xiao Wu ran out with a group of children, and after a while, he ran back again, "Sister, the dowry of the second cousin-in-law is thirty-six!" So long a slip! ”

The daughters of the Zhuang family generally do not marry much, most of them are six or eight lifts, and some even pack two boxes and one or two pieces of silver jewelry. When a wealthy family like the Liu family marries a daughter, it is only a dowry of eighteen lifts. Therefore, the daughter of the landlord Chen accompanied thirty-eight dowries, which can be said to be the first one in ten miles and eight villages. Even in the county, there are only a few people who can accompany so many dowries.

"Sister, don't worry, when you get married, it will definitely be more beautiful than this!" Yun Xiang saw that Yun Lian was also full of envy, and laughed and joked.

Yun Lian glanced at Yun Xiang, "Where can we compare with other landlords!" To be honest, I was afraid of being sold, when did I think about the dowry! Now that there is hope for the future, I also have some hope, in the situation of our family, it would be good if I could make up six lifts. ”

"The bride has gotten off the sedan chair! Hurry up and scatter the money! ”

At this time, Brother Da Yang and Brother San Lang walked out with a bamboo dustpan, grabbed the copper coins in the dustpan and threw them into the crowd watching the excitement.

"It's going to cost two or three hundred dollars!" Yun Lian muttered quietly, her face a little unsightly. Obviously, he remembered that Liu Chengshuang didn't ask for a doctor when he was critically ill, "We still owe Lang Zhong money!" ”

"If you don't say it, I'll forget!" Yun Xiang patted her forehead, "Let's send it to my brother in a hurry, people saw that our family was in a difficult situation at the time, and now that we have money, we have to thank them well." ”

Xiao Wu squeezed out of the crowd and ran to Yun Xiang and Yun Lian and spread out their palms, "Sister, look! I robbed eighteen cents! ”

"Little Five is awesome! This eighteen dollars is enough to buy a pound of pork and three big stick bones! Yun Xiang gave a thumbs up, "Sister Ming'er will make dumplings for you to eat!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Wu stuffed the copper coin to Yun Xiang, "Sister, you take it first, and I'll go with you when I buy meat tomorrow!" ”

Yun Lian looked at the two little ones and shook her head with a smile, "I just think about eating every day, and I don't know how to save if I have money?" ”

"Sister saved up to save for dowry, we are still young, don't worry!" Yun Xiang saw that Yun Lian's face was red, and she didn't joke anymore, but only pulled her into the courtyard to see the bride.

Now the Zhou family has made their own pan buttons and sold them for money and put them in the public middle school, and Yun Lian and Yun Xiang have left them to themselves, so that they can save them as dowries. Yun Lian saved some money, but it was only a few hundred Wen, Yun Xiang's private money was a lot, but on the surface, there were only more than two taels of silver, but the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and food at home were all paid for by her, of course, including the paper and pen money used by Shiro and Xiao Wu.

In the new room, Liu Yunli and Liu Yunduo were accompanying the bride, and after Yunxiang and Yunlian went in, Liu Yunduo snorted coldly, "What are you doing when you come in!" Look at that shabby look, you can't get on the table. ”

Yun Xiang smiled, "We are here to see my sister-in-law, not you." ”

The woman on the kang in a bright red wedding dress asked, "...... is this?"

"Second sister-in-law, my father is the third uncle of Brother Erlang, I am Yunxiang, and this is my sister Liu Yunlian." Yun Xiang looked at the bride quietly. This Chen Xiumei is said to be older than Erlang, and she already looks very charming at this time. It's just that the waist looks a little bloated, which should be because she is pregnant with a child.

Chen Xiumei's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "It turned out to be the two younger sisters of the third uncle's family!" Come, sister-in-law has brought you gifts. ”

Chen Xiumei shouted, "Little bird, bring me the wooden box for carving plum blossoms." ”

A little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a double-ring bun, walked in with a wooden box about a foot long. Chen Xiumei motioned for her to open it, and pointed to the silk yarn pile inside, "This is what my cousin brought back to me from the provincial capital, you can pick two of them." ”

"It's so beautiful!" Liu Yunduo picked up each one and measured it, and liked it when he looked at it, so he said, "Second sister-in-law, what do you do for them?" Looking at their tattered clothes, where can they afford such beautiful silk flowers? Why don't you give them all to me! ”

Yun Lian tugged at the corner of her clothes, Yun Xiang knew that she was a little inferior, and stepped forward, "Sister Duo'er, are you ashamed to say this!" No matter how broken we are, we are also the sisters of the second sister-in-law, why can't we divide the silk flowers? Second cousin-in-law, thank you so much, I adjusted for my sister, we are not so thick-skinned, not much. ”

Liu Yunduo was about to go crazy again, but Liu Yunli stopped him, "Then Yunxiang and Yunlian will adjust first." Although we also like it, after all, we live in the town and still have knowledge. ”

Is this scolding them for not being knowledgeable? Yun Xiang smiled indifferently, and picked out a peony, a peach blossom and a pair of begonia flowers from the box, "Thank you to the two sisters and the second sister-in-law, I picked it out." ”

Liu Yunduo glared at Yun Xiang, dissatisfied that she wanted to choose Yun Xiang to pick the rest, so Chen Xiumei said, "Leave the rest for my aunt, and you can take the rest." ”

There are a total of twelve flowers in this box, and Liu Yunduo and Liu Yunli can each have three, so they are naturally happy. Chen Xiumei has long understood the situation of the Liu family, and the big house and the fourth room are very good friends, so she naturally has to show her favor a lot. As for the third room, she pouted, it was best not to communicate for the rest of her life. If others knew that he had such a poor relative, it would be strange if he was not ridiculed to death!

"Come, come, look at our bride!" A woman in her thirties walked in with Liu Xiu'er, "I'm your aunt, this is your aunt!" Although it shows that the genius officially recognizes the family, we are really curious, the new daughter-in-law should not be annoyed by us! ”

Chen Xiumei called people politely, but she didn't seem very enthusiastic, in her heart, the girl who had already married out and the girl who was about to marry out would not have much intersection with her at all.

Liu Xiu'er was not happy when she saw Yunxiang, "Is this the place where you can come?" Get out! ”

Yun Xiang had already roughly seen what Chen Xiumei was like, so she took Yun Lian's hand and said, "Let's go out!" The two aunts came just in time, and Xiumei's sister-in-law is distributing silk flowers to us! Two flowers per person, just right! ”
