The day before the wedding was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Zhong and Yulan bought two tables of wine and food, and invited the big house to come over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Mrs. Lu was very interested and had a good appetite, drank a big bowl of chicken soup, and ate half a moon cake.

After the meal, Lu Zhong sent everyone back to the big house, and when he came back, he saw that the family was gathered in the hall to drink tea, thinking that he had something to tell Xiao Yi, Lu Zhong walked to Lu Shouzeng and sat down.

Lu Shouzeng saw that the eldest son was back, so he said: "Xiaoyi, tomorrow you will get married, follow your father at home, marry your husband, you have to live with surplus food and harmony when you marry, he has to make up his mind about foreign affairs, you have to worry about internal affairs, big and small things must be discussed, remember to make your own decisions arbitrarily." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded and humbly listened to his grandfather's teachings.

Lu Shouzeng said again: "There are no elders in the Yuliang family to give advice, you two will live in the future like crossing the river by feeling the stones, you must trust each other, he makes a mistake and you have to warn him, you have to accept the teachings humbly if you make a mistake, and when you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, come back and ask the elders in the family, the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, and no matter how difficult things are, there are solutions." ”

Mrs. Lu added: "Let me tell you, the Yu family has no elders, and the surplus grain is easy to do stupid things without anyone to control it, if he beats you and scolds you or gives you a look, even if you come back and call someone, your father and your uncle can't beat him, and several of your uncles, all shout together, I don't believe I can't control him!" ”

As soon as Mrs. Lu's words fell, the family had different expressions, Lu Shouzeng glared at Mrs. Lu fiercely, and reprimanded her: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and was not convinced: "What's wrong?" There's something wrong with what I'm saying. You taught you the false truth, I taught me the true skills, can you manage it? ”

Yulan saw that her in-laws were about to quarrel again, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, what my grandfather and grandmother said is all about experience, you can use it in the future." ”

Lu Zhong also smiled and said: "If the old man doesn't talk about the ancients, he will lose his score in the next life, Xiaoyi, you learn from your grandfather and grandmother." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded. Stood up and respectfully saluted my grandfather and grandmother. "Grandfather, your teachings have benefited my granddaughter immensely, and my granddaughter will remember it in her heart. Grandmother, your teachings are the same... Equally practical. The granddaughter is full of confidence... When I can't control him in the future. I'm sure to use my grandmother's tricks. ”

Lu Shouzeng nodded. "You have been smart and clever since you were a child, with a good heart and a good temper, and I believe that you will have a smooth sail in the future."

Lu Yong and Wang Dongmei also said a few words. Lu Shouzeng got up and said, "It's not early, let's rest early." ”

Mrs. Lu wanted to stay and say something, but was dragged away by Lu Shouzeng, and only Lu Xiaoyi's family was left in the hall.

Lu Zhong thought that his daughter, who had been raised for more than ten years, would become a member of another family tomorrow, and his heart was also sour, he sighed, and said slowly: "Your grandfather has finished what I want to say, and my father will just say a word, marry and live a good life with the grain, and your father and mother will support you in case of trouble." After speaking, he said to Yulan: "You talk to Xiaoyi, I'll rest first." ”

Yulan smiled and said to Xiao Ding: "Xiao Rui hasn't taken a bath today, you go boil some water, call Xiao Geng, and the two of them will work together to help Xiao Rui wash up." ”

Lu Xiaoyi knew what Yulan was going to do when she separated her younger siblings, and she was still very ashamed when she thought of the next embarrassing topic.

Yulan thought of the next topic, and was embarrassed to speak, paused for a moment before getting up and said, "Let's go, go and see the dowry again, don't leave anything important." ”

Lu Xiaoyi followed silently, her heart was jumping like a rabbit, I don't know what Yulan wants to tell her? Whether to dig out a booklet that is very well hidden, or to take out a piece of painted spring. The small objects of the palace, no matter which form it takes, Lu Xiaoyi can be sure that Yulan will not tell her some specific processes in person, after all, ancient women were obscure and shy about sex, so there will be which objects that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Sure enough, Yulan checked the dowry, and finally took out a red cloth bag wrapped in layers from the box, "This is what your grandmother passed to me back then, and I pass it to you now, you keep it, and open it when no one is around." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said deliberately: "Mother, what is the bag?" "I also pretended to open it to see what was going on.

Magnolia slapped her hand and glared at her with disgust, "Open it when no one is around." ”

Lu Xiaoyi sighed, and said, "Mother, you pass it to me, what should I do with Xiaoding?" ”

Magnolia frowned, "I'll talk about it then." He looked at Lu Xiaoyi again and muttered, "You can tell her when the time comes." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said secretly: Okay, don't say it to you, who is a mother-in-law, let my sister say it, fortunately, I have seen the world, and this kind of popular science knowledge is still competent.

Yulan told Lu Xiaoyi to put away the red cloth bag, looked at Xiaoyi and sighed, "I thought I would keep you for one more year, who wanted your great-grandmother to come and disrupt my plans." ”

Lu Xiaoyi wrapped her arms around Yulan's waist and put her chin on her shoulder, "Mother, thank you for raising your daughter all these years, you have worked hard." ”

Yulan red-eyed, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and choked up: "My adopted daughter will eventually get married in a thousand days, and I will let go no matter how reluctant I am." ”

Lu Xiaoyi's heart was sour, as if he had drunk a whole bottle of old vinegar, and tears fell down, wetting the clothes on Yulan's shoulders.

Magnolia patted her face, "Okay, this is a great event, you should be happy." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded while wiping away tears.

"You have been a smart mind since you were a child, and then you broke your leg and became less talkative, I am afraid that you will be heavy-minded, afraid that you will become dull and withdrawn. Luckily, you didn't get bored, but you became happy, like a little monkey jumping up and down at home to make me happy. Ay! To be honest, I've had a good time in the past few years, and I haven't been happy in previous years. ”

Lu Xiaoyi understands what Yulan said about being unhappy, before Xiaorui was born, Yulan and Mrs. Lu were still estranged, with such a mother-in-law, Yulan would still be angry from time to time, and now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have released their suspicions, and the days are truly satisfactory.

Yulan said: "Your father used to only go to the city to find work in his spare time, and later tried to do a passenger business. I also made steamed buns and sold them, and finally settled down to do dry food business, which is indispensable for your advice, your father doesn't say it, but he is still grateful to you in his heart. ”

Lu Xiaoyi also understood that her rich dowry was enough to see that his father was preparing with all his heart, and couldn't help but say to Yulan: "Mother, you and your father should take care of their bodies, and if you don't have enough people to scone cakes, you can hire two more helpers." There is also farm work in the fields. Now there are cows and donkeys in the house. When the farm is busy, Brother Liang and I will come back to help, so that my father should not be too anxious. ”

Yulan nodded, heard Xiao Rui's call outside, and quickly wiped her eyes. "It's not too early. Go to sleep. Don't tell Ding too late. ”

Despite Yulan's prior advice, Lu Xiaoyi still talked to Xiao Ding until late at night, until Xiao Ding was so sleepy that he couldn't hold on. She pretended to be asleep and coaxed Xiaoding to fall asleep.

It wasn't until Xiao Ding beside him heard the sound of even breathing that Lu Xiaoyi opened his eyes silently.

It was an ordinary autumn night, with the moonlight like mist and smoke, and the soft singing of autumn insects perched in the corners.

This is an unusual autumn night, because this is the last night he lived in his mother's house before getting married, from tomorrow night, the pillow person will be replaced with surplus food, Lu Xiaoyi doesn't know if he will snore? Will you grind your teeth? Can you talk in your dreams? She even wondered if the surplus food would sleepwalk, so always it was also a kind of confusion about the unknown.

I thought I would lose sleep, but I fell asleep unconsciously.

Waking up is the big day for her to get married.

In ancient times, there was a custom that "men greet women at dusk, and women come because of men", which means that the man usually goes to the woman's house at dusk to greet his relatives, and the woman goes out with the man.

The customs of Xiaxi Village are similar.

Qi Shan and the others were stationed at Yu's house last night, and they didn't get up this morning to eat breakfast at Yu's house, but came to Lu's house to eat and drink, and I don't know if he is a man's guest or a woman's guest, anyway, his stomach has the final say, which one eats well, he is a guest of which family.

At noon, Lu Xiaoyi's grandfather's family came, and the young men in the village who helped carry the dowry also came, Lu Zhong and Yulan prepared a meal to entertain them, and after the meal, the young men put the dowry in the courtyard in turn, just waiting for the person to welcome the relatives.

Lu Xiaoyi, under the arrangement of Mrs. Wang, Yulan, and Wang Dongmei, bathed, wore wedding clothes, and opened her face.

When it comes to opening his face, Lu Xiaoyi is a little resistant, although it is an ancient beauty technique, but using five-colored silk threads to twist off the hairs on his face and neck is still very uncomfortable at first, and then he gradually became numb, so he had to close his eyes and let others dispose of it.

followed by makeup, the effect after makeup, Lu Xiaoyi looked at the bronze mirror, anyway, she didn't know the person in the mirror, as for whether Yu Liang recognized it or not, she couldn't care.

Then there is the hairpin flower, which is cleaned up and praised by everyone.

Everyone thinks that beauty is the real beauty, Lu Xiaoyi appreciates himself in the mirror, okay, the people in the mirror are beautiful!

When the auspicious time came, the Yu family's welcoming team set off, crackling firecrackers, Xiaxi Village heard it clearly, and the Lu family hurriedly prepared.

The girl in our Xiaxi Village is not so easy to marry, and the young man who carries the dowry is ready to embarrass the groom.

At this moment, the jujube red horse that pulls the cart all the year round raises its eyebrows, wears a big red flower, wears a big red silk, and carries the groom official who is proud of the spring breeze, walking on the road to welcome relatives.

The sedan chair was not carried by outsiders, Xu Wu, Zhang Tieniu, Qi Feng and a young man from Shangxi Village.

The experienced musician of the team leader saw that the bride's house was at the bottom of the mountain, and after a general glance at the distance, he slowed down appropriately.

The musician also has his own thoughts, so he can't go to the bride's door before he finishes blowing a wedding song! They are professional musicians, they are all professional, since they have received the happy money, they have to play hard, and they have to make the festive atmosphere up.

As a result, the welcoming procession, which can be seen from afar, is marching like a snail on the village road.

The Lu family was in a hurry, the young men who had set up the obstacles were also in a hurry, and the villagers who were watching the excitement were even more anxious, muttering one after another: What's going on? A matter of a few steps, it is the effect of walking dozens of miles, isn't the groom unhappy?

Zhang Tieniu was originally a anxious person, every time he took a big step, he was forced to shrink into a small step, and after a long time, he became angry, and shouted at the leading musician in front: "The one who blows the horn at the front, I said can you go faster!" You're going to be slow, believe it or not, I'll hit you with the soles of my shoes! ”

The musician who led the team only had the sound of suona in his ears, and he couldn't hear anyone complaining behind him, so he still blew hard and walked slowly, until the back of his head was hit by something, he turned around, and saw an expression of a palanquin driver who couldn't wait to eat him, and the musician blew a "tick" with a horn, which was asking: "What are you doing?" ”

Yu Liang arched his hand and smiled: "Hurry up, master Lao." ”

The musician blew another "Da Di Da", which was to say, "Say it earlier!" ”

Zhang Tie was angry and wanted to smash his shoe again, but when he saw that the musician had already quickened his pace, he spared him. (To be continued.) )
