Chapter 174: Gift money
As soon as Xueyao's sedan chair was carried away, firecrackers exploded in the yard, red confetti, melon seeds, peanuts and candies were scattered all over the ground, and a group of children crowded together to grab food.
Zhao watched the sedan chair disappear at the entrance of the village, and went to the house to freshen up again with tears in his eyes. I thought that I would marry the second room, how did I know that the good second room became a concubine, and the red hijab that was originally said to be good also became a pink hijab, Zhao cried and red eyes when Xue Yao said goodbye, and he had to go to the banquet to deal with it later, how to see people like this.
Entering the house, he asked Xue Miao to wash her face, Xue Miao tied her feet, and it took half a month to get off the ground, and she couldn't take big strides on the road. Hearing that Zhao asked her to fetch water, she crouched on the dresser and refused to get off the ground.
Jing Hao sat on the side folding the wedding dress, which took her two full months, and used so many stitches that she didn't even let others peep into her mastery. In the end, this wedding dress is still useless, and it is a pity to caress the pattern on it.
Seeing Xue Miao sitting still, Zhao didn't care, and beckoned to Jinghao: "Don't tidy up your cousin's things first, help me get a basin of water first, the water should be warm." ”
Jing Hao put the wedding dress on the kang, said yes, picked up the porcelain basin from the shelf behind the door and went to the pot house.
Xue Jiao and the others were looking for Jing Hao to sit at the table, and when they saw Jing Hao coming out of the pot house with a basin, they hurriedly pulled her into the seat. Jing Hao said: "I'll send washing water to the second concubine." ”
Huang Dragonfly sat next to Xue Jiao, looked at the upper room with a pair of eyes, pulled Xue Jiao's sleeve and asked quietly: "Your cousin went out, why didn't you see her brother send her?" ”
"I guess I'm busy with homework, and I shouldn't take a break. Didn't come back. Xue Jiao replied.
Xue Yao's brother is naturally Chen Qilin.
There is a custom in Xuzhou Mansion to marry a girl, and the married woman should be held or led out of the sedan chair by her own brothers, if there are no brothers, cousins and clan brothers can also.
Chen Qilin did not come to the White Horse Academy, and this year's Autumn Township Examination was his highlight, lest he delay his homework.
Originally, I said that I would let Qi An carry her out. It's coming, it's changed. I want to come to the second room for my own happy event, but I don't want the big house to interfere. After all, Qi An hugged Xueyao and got into the sedan chair, and the man would stuff him with a big red envelope, and the second room of this kind of good thing was naturally unwilling to cheapen others.
In addition, Uncle Ding has been urging beside him. It's not like marrying a relative, but like collecting debts, Xue Yao didn't let anyone hug her, and helped Li and Cai's hands into the sedan chair.
Huang Dragonfly embroidered a pencil case and waited for Chen Qilin to come to the house this time and quietly give it to him. Unexpectedly, he didn't come back at all, and there was a burst of melancholy in his eyes. Sumptuous dishes are well served. She was so busy thinking about her mind that she didn't get a taste until the end.
The table is booked in Qingfeng Village, and the cooking skills of the chef Lao Miao are the best. Xue Jiao still tasted bird's nest for the first time, and it was really famous, and it didn't taste very good in her mouth. She loves the Four Happiness Balls the most. couldn't help but eat two more, and when the third one was clipped, Wen Yan sat opposite Xuejiao. Stretching out his chopsticks, he pulled the full plate of meatballs into the plate in front of him. Next to Wen Yan sat her daughter, Sister Chun. The hill of vegetables in the bowl in front of him is also the hill, and every time he eats a dish, he pulls a few chopsticks into his bowl first. Wen Yan's pair of chopsticks looked like they had a pair of eyes, and all the chopsticks were sandwiched on the meat.
Some of the guests finished the banquet and sat in the room chatting and drinking tea.
Li's, Cai's, and Zhang's concubines surrounded Mrs. Chen to talk to the guests, and Zhao's washed his face, cleaned his face again, rubbed incense powder, and went out to meet guests with a happy look. She just sent her daughter out, and she just went to Dingfu to be a concubine, so she naturally felt uncomfortable, and she couldn't come out in front of people, where could she let it go in her heart. Among the guests who came were daughters out of the pavilion to accompany her to sigh a sigh, and even accompanied her to a red eye circle, a daughter married to Shandong and shed tears on the spot: "It's not painful, looking at the sedan chair out of the door, just digging my heart and liver, you are okay, just marry in Xuzhou Mansion, there is a bad can also go back to her mother's house to talk and talk, whether it is the New Year or daily can be seen, my daughter, married to Shandong, this day is far away, this life does not know if you can see." ”
Zhao's tears fell, and both Li and Cai, who had daughters, also shed tears.
Someone persuaded: "Why are you crying, she is blessed to marry into Xuzhou Mansion, I heard that a meal in Dingfu is the same as a year's food for our crops, tsk, my daughter is going to marry into such a rich township, I am too late to be happy, you shed tears." ”
When Zhao heard this, not only did he not stop crying, but he cried. Everyone outside said that Xueyao married into Fugui Township, but they didn't know that Fugui Township was in a dangerous place. The croppers are so confused, seeing that Xue Yao is getting married wearing a pink dress and a pink skirt with a pink hijab, the Chen family's explanation to outsiders is that they are married to be a steproom, and the big families in the city are not allowed to wear red when they marry a stepfamily, so eight out of ten people believe it.
Zhao cried, Wen Yan snuggled up to Mrs. Chen and pouted. When Xue Yao opened her face, she broke in to see, and when she saw Xue Yao's pearl crown and eyes, she was direct, and when she heard everyone's continuous flattery of Zhao's Xue Yao marrying well, a sour water rose in her heart, and her brain was hot and pouted: "You can't even wear a big red when you go out, even if you marry into a rich township." Second sister-in-law, don't coax me, I heard that Xue Yao is going to be a concubine, where to be a concubine. ”
Wen Yan said it so loudly, Zhao's face turned purple when he was angry, and even Mrs. Chen slapped her angrily, and Wen Yan was still stubborn: "Originally, this matter can't be hidden for a lifetime." ”
As soon as Wen Yan's words came out, the whole room exploded, guests, you look at me, I look at you, I know it in my heart. The farmer does not understand the things outside, and he also knows what a concubine is.
There was such a cool woman, and she showed disdain on the spot. Baitu Town is close to the Huai River, and the land is fertile, the wind and rain are smooth all year round, how can you live with a pair of hands, and you have never heard of a poor family that sells children and daughters. Not to mention being a concubine in a big family, even if you want to do this, you will be smacked to death. When Xue Yao went to Ding Mansion to be a maid, Chen Zichang was pointed at everywhere he went, but now it's good, a clean and innocent daughter's head lady doesn't do it, but does it go small. A fat lady who usually has a relationship with the Zhao family just stepped out of the door of the upper room with her front foot and said to the person next to her with a smile: "Looking at us, the countrymen don't understand." It's so flamboyant to be a concubine, I said, Xue Yao looks a little handsome, but she didn't go to be a concubine. ”
As soon as the second round of eating and drinking in the courtyard was carried out, this word spread, and the people of the entire Maoshan Village knew that Xueyao had gone to be a concubine for a big family.
Chen Zichang smiled and toasted, and was sprayed on the spot by some bloody men.
It's evening. Speaking of Xue Yao. Li sighed to Xue Jiaoxue: "The old generation said that marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, marrying an ordinary person and being a lady without worrying about food and clothing." Marrying a man is just a matter of knowing the cold and the hot, although a man has so many bad things in his family, as long as he treats his wife with a real heart, then there is nothing to worry about. If a man has those three wives and four concubines, even if it is a golden jade grain, it will be difficult to swallow. ”
Li couldn't take care of it. said such things back in front of the three girls, on the one hand, she felt that Xue Yao was a pity, and on the other hand, she was worried that her daughter was young and was afraid of envying Xue Yao.
Jing Hao and Xue Ru blushed when they heard this. The two of them have reached the age of kissing, and they usually visit each other in the neighborhood. The words revealed the idea of kissing the two of them.
After all, Xue Jiao has a modern education, but she is calm. She agreed with Lee's words in her heart. Whether it is the era of the previous life or this era, it is always a pity for a woman to marry the wrong person.
A woman's family has cast two times in her life, and the first time is to see her father. The second time is to look at marriage, which is not good, and it will not be good for most of my life.
"Mother. Whether the shoes are comfortable or not can only be felt by yourself, and you are sorry for Sister Xue Yao here. Maybe Sister Xue Yao doesn't think like that, she may think that it is good to marry herself, as long as she thinks it is good, it can't be hindered by what others think. Xue Jiao followed Li's words and took it.
Li still sighed: "Your second uncle is heartless, your second aunt is really sad, it's not who comes out of the stomach who is not distressed, the ten fingers are still connected to the heart, she is the meat that fell from your second aunt!" In the end, my mother has more heart than my father. ”
Zhao is usually vicious, but he also feels sorry for the meat that fell out of his stomach.
Originally, it was said that Xue Yao married as a second room, and it was indispensable for Nacai to ask for a name to go out of the pavilion and return to the door, and at this time he went in to serve as a concubine, and I don't know if Ding Mansion will return to the door.
Zhao had been waiting at home for a long time, and in the three days that Xue Yao had been out of the pavilion, she had not slept well for a day, and she couldn't sit still. On the third day, she asked Da Dan to go to the entrance of the village to see it, and waited for Xueyao to return to the door.
The village went crazy, and everyone scolded Chen Zichang for not being a person, and pushed his daughter into the fire pit for a few silver coins. Some people also secretly scolded Xue Yao, saying that she hooked up with the main family and rushed to be small.
The more the words passed, Mrs. Chen didn't go out of the door, and the news naturally couldn't reach her ears. Old Man Chen is different, he often goes out for a walk, grinds his teeth with others outside, and understands everything, and when he returns home, he scolds Chen Zichang, but Xueyao has already entered Ding's Mansion, and it is too late to regret it, and he will not go out of the door with anger.
Mrs. Chen is also looking forward to Xue Yao's return to the door, waiting in front of the hall early, she has been preparing for the door banquet since the second day Xue Yao came out of the pavilion, how many times have she never cooked the stove herself, this time it is rare to get out of the pot house, Li's cooking is delicious, and she pulled Li to make a large table of dishes, and those braised meat and carp are all made by her own hands.
Big Dan went to the entrance of the village from just dawn to dark, and ran twenty times, and Xueyao's sedan chair did not appear.
Until it was dark, Zhao couldn't stand the red circles under his eyes.
Mrs. Chen's face is not good-looking, she thinks that a concubine is a concubine, but she will give birth to a son in the future and wait for Fuzheng, and Xue Yao is not in charge of the mansion, where does she know that the twists and turns of the big family are around her, and Xue Yao is making rules in the grandmother's room of Ding Mansion at this time.
She got up early in the morning, and after a busy day, her granddaughter didn't return to the door, and she picked up her crutches and was about to enter Ding's mansion. She thought that Xue Yao had entered the Ding Mansion, and the Chen family was the Ding family's serious Yue family, and she was making trouble.
Xue Yao loves to eat ducks, she deliberately slaughtered the two old ducks that she had raised for two years and were still laying eggs, and the duck soup was stewed for three days until the meat was crispy and ossified. When she came, she didn't come back, so she couldn't help but be angry.
Mrs. Chen was angry here, and the family was not at peace. When Xueyan was born, Zhao sarcastically ridiculed her for not being able to give birth to a son, at this time, seeing Zhao's crying red eyes, she was happy in her heart, and she added fuel to the fire and said: "Dingfu is a good one, Xueyao does a happy event, and does not let our family pay the dowry, and even the banquet is from someone else, and the gift money received is not asked." ”
This sentence opened Mrs. Chen's anger for a while, and burned to Zhao's body, Mrs. Chen was angry, but she was not confused, she could distinguish the meaning of Cai's words, and asked Zhao on the spot: "I've been busy asking you these days, where is the gift money." ”
The Zhao family was stunned, Mrs. Chen's face sank, the crutches poked the ground with a crackling sound, and the Zhao family shuddered, and took out a red box from the inside.
Mrs. Chen took the red box, glanced at Zhao, and patronized and waited for Xue Yao to return to the door, but she forgot about such a big thing as gift money, thanks to the reminder of the third daughter-in-law. (To be continued)
