Chapter 113: Marriage

Chen Zichang was confined to his home for seven days.

In the blink of an eye, I entered the wax moon, the weather was dry and cold, and the people who were blown by the wind shivered. Li stayed up day and night to make new cotton clothes for the children, the children wore old clothes when they were not separated from the family before, and this year they got ten catties of cotton, and Li's mood was good and the work was done quickly.

The day after tomorrow is the day when his nephew Li Dazhuang makes a small decision, and he can finally take this opportunity to go back to his parents' house, and the more Li thinks about it, the more comfortable he becomes.

These days, the Zhao family and the Zhang family don't grin at the Li family anymore, and they are polite to each other.

The salted duck eggs are almost marinated.

If only the days had been so peaceful.

"Mother, my jacket buttons should be small, not that big, the cuffs are embroidered with orchids, I don't want to be cheesy red, that's what I wear for the New Year." Chen Xuejiao snuggled up to Li's side and said coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li pinched her nose dotingly, "There is still a lot of cotton left, make one for Dragonfly and Yiming." ”

At this time, Xue Miao came out and asked Li to go to the room.

Because she didn't know what was going on, Chen Xuejiao was afraid that the Li family would suffer, so she also followed.

sat down in the upper room, and Zhang, Cai, and Zhao followed.

“…… I summoned you not for anything else, Ming'er Baozhu got married, how to say, he is my nephew, and everyone will go to drink the wedding wine tomorrow. Old Lady Chen's eyes swept over everyone.

"It's a happy event, it's better to say it's a shameful thing, let us go." Zhang said disdainfully.

In the past, Zhang's was not like this, she liked to participate in red and white ceremonies the most, and she ate and drank with them.

"It's not up to you, go tomorrow! As my aunt and nephew got married, I have to give some money or things for the box, and what you have in your hands will be taken out to help make up for it this time. Mrs. Chen said displeasedly.

The four concubines' eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Chen Xuejiao understood in her heart, and Mrs. Chen asked them to come in. The purpose is to get them to show their own gifts. She vaguely heard Xue Ru say that some of Li's fabrics, hairpins, and bracelets were all looted by Mrs. Chen in the name of adding makeup, and the other three daughters-in-law must be the same as Li's.

"Damn, that's my mother's family!" Mrs. Chen said displeasedly.

"I'll add a piece of silk cloth that Xue Yao brought last time." Zhao said with low eyebrows.

"I followed my second sister-in-law and added a piece of cloth, but I didn't have more." Cai said.

Zhang pursed his lips and said, "Mother." I don't have anything, so I can't take my clothes off and add makeup! ”

"Where's your hairpin?" Mrs. Chen pricked up her eyes.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Chen is still thinking about the hairpin. Chen Xuejiao thought that Zhang's had also become smarter, and since she pointed out that the pearls on the hairpin were worth a lot of money, Zhang's pulled them out and put them away and didn't wear them.

"Lost!" Zhang said unceremoniously.

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes angrily and said to Li, "What about you, eldest daughter-in-law?" ”

"The cloth added by the second and third siblings, I will follow them!" Li said.

"Then what is it, let's split up. The upper room is counted as one share, and the big room is counted as one share, and you have to prepare gifts separately, and you will add whatever I add to the upper room. Mrs. Chen looked at Li and said, folding her fingers and counting, "Two pieces of cloth, one or two pieces of silver." Two pairs of shoes. Your big house will be added according to this, and you will not suffer. You have a lot of children, and if you get married in the future, it is inevitable that the Wang family will also come! ”

Mrs. Wang is telling the truth, but everyone knows that it is a fantasy that Wang Baozhu's temperament can return such a heavy courtesy. A gift of one or two pieces of silver is considered very heavy. It seems that Mrs. Wang really values her mother's family.

Li calmly agreed.

Can you not agree? Chen Xuejiao can't refute it, this is all the custom of Baitu Town, how many gifts are given to the upper room, and so many gifts are also required for the room that is divided, if you refute it. It's time for others to see your jokes.

The next day, just after dawn, the family set off towards Wangshanwo.

Jing Hao looked very sad, thinking about it, just three months after her mother died, her father married a newcomer, and she married a fireworks woman.

Originally, she was reluctant to go, and wanted to stay at home with Xueru to take care of Chen Xiucai, but she was persuaded by the Li family.

Huang Dragonfly knew that the Chen family was going to eat wine, so she rushed to help Xue Ru take care of Chen Xiucai early in the morning.

Li took the children and went to Wangshanwo with everyone in the upper room. Old man Chen was afraid that Chen Zichang would go to drink wine and make trouble, so he left him at home, and he didn't go himself.

The news that Wang Baozhu was going to marry a fireworks woman had already spread, and many people came to see the excitement, and the Wang family was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

This time, it was still Wang Baoshan who was in charge of asking questions, and when he saw that Mrs. Chen and others were coming, he hurriedly summoned them into the house.

Wang Baozhu went to the town early in the morning to pick up his relatives, and Mrs. Wang greeted her warmly.

Chen Xuejiao took a look and saw that Mrs. Wang was wearing red clothes, her hair was pulled up, and her face was rubbed with rouge, looking beaming.

“…… Why didn't the third and fourth uncles come? Mrs. Chen sat down and took a sip of tea and asked.

"If you don't come to pull it down, it's a shame to say that Baozhu is married. Hmph, poor ghosts, they can't see us living a good life! Mrs. Wang said disdainfully.

It seems that except for Wang Baoshan and his wife, the rest of the clan did not come, and Wang Baozhu was ashamed to marry a fireworks woman.

Everyone sat and chatted for a while, only to hear the crackling of firecrackers outside, and someone shouted: "The bridegroom, the bride, here!" Here it comes! ”

Chen Xuejiao was very curious about what the green jade looked like, and couldn't help but squeeze it out.

Wang Baozhu rode on a tall horse, wearing a red groom's dress, with a large red flower hanging on his chest, and his face was beaming.

The bride was in the sedan chair at the back, and through the sedan curtain, she vaguely saw a pair of small feet with a red hijab and a pair of embroidered shoes slightly upturned.

"Wang Baozhu, this kid is blessed, he died a daughter-in-law like a flower and jade, and married a young and handsome one!"

"Look at that little foot, tsk......"

The two men exchanged heads.

"Phew, what a good thing, what a good girl in that dirty place in Cuihualou!"

"This man, he doesn't care, the fishy stinky ones are pulled home!"

It's the voices of two women.

With the shouts of the bride, Wang Baozhu got off the horse, walked to the sedan chair and led the bride's big red concentric knot towards the house.

In Chen Xuejiao's eyes, the bride Qingyu's steps are light and elegant. Stepping over the brazier, over the threshold, and into the hall.

Jing Hao's eyes were slightly red. Don't look away.

When he visited the church, Wang Baozhu smiled happily, and Mrs. Wang smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

After the worship was done, the bride entered the new house. Chen Xuejiao continued to watch the excitement, and Wang Jinghao also went, but she came out after a glance. With red eyes, she said to Chen Xuejiao: "This is my mother's bedroom, my mother hanged herself in it three months ago, I didn't think that my father would get married for so long!" ”

Biting his lip, tears rolled down.

The bride sat on the new bed covered with a red flowered quilt, and the cuffs of the bright red wedding dress were flipped up, revealing a snow-white arm and slender jade hand.

The crowd crowded to watch.

Next to the bride stood two wedding sisters, one with a goose egg face and red phoenix eyes. Dressed in a blue shirt, a round face, with a cocked nose and big eyes, wearing a pink shirt.

After a while, the bride came in and shouted: "Everyone, let the bride take a rest, hurry up and sit down, if you don't go, the seats are all occupied." ”

As soon as the words of the bride came out. The hula man ran away.

Chen Xuejiao walked behind and heard the conversation between the two wedding sisters.

"Blue and red. Have you seen what I thought? The girl in blue clothes did not shy away from asking the girl in pink clothes.

"No, I saw Chen Zigui in the crowd, and his brother didn't know if he came." Which girl named Qinghong said. Chen Xuejiao thought about it for a while, and knew that the girl in the pink shirt was Qingbi raised by Chen Zichang.

After eating, Wang Baozhu entered the cave room to lift the bride's hijab, and Chen Xuejiao was curious about Qingbi's appearance. I followed it and went to see it.

The hijab was lifted, Qingbi was shaken by the sunlight, and then opened it again.

I saw that she had a long face, and her facial features were not exquisite, but her eyes shone brightly. naturally exudes a cold temperament, not like a fireworks woman.

Aside from her identity, she is not a disgusting person at first glance, but the temperament she exudes is very attractive.

Chen Xuejiao quietly withdrew from the new house.

In the evening, the guests were almost gone, only Mrs. Chen and others were talking to Mrs. Wang in the hall, and Wang Yunniang was also here.

Suddenly, the bride came in and said that the bride was coming to the hall to meet her relatives.

Everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised, because according to custom, the bride would not serve tea until the next day, and then go to relatives.

No matter how you think about it, the bride Qingyu has already stepped into the hall.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen sat upright, because it was not a formal meeting, so there was no need to serve tea, Qingyu and the two old ladies saluted one by one.

The posture was elegant, without the frivolity of a fireworks woman at all, and even Li's eyes showed an appreciative smile.

Mrs. Wang felt her face and laughed non-stop.

Immediately afterwards, Qingyu gave the Li family, the Zhao family, the Cai family, and the Zhang family, and the posture was neither humble nor arrogant.

Chen Xuejiao was secretly surprised.

"This is the eldest lady, she looks so beautiful!" Qingyu walked to Jing Hao's side, and said with a smile.

Jing Hao was caught off guard by her Yifu, didn't know what to say, and stared at her in a daze.

Everyone was also stunned, in the countryside, how could there be any title of eldest lady.

Qingyu smiled slightly, and said gently: "When we meet for the first time, this bracelet should be used as a meeting gift, and I hope that the eldest lady will not dislike it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jing Hao had already put a green and transparent bracelet on his arm.

Jing Hao continued to be stunned.

Chen Xuejiao carefully observed Qingyu, and saw that she was still smiling gently, and there was no flaw on her face. Chen Xuejiao didn't understand the meaning of her attitude towards Jing Hao, and now she couldn't figure out whether she was friend or foe.

Wang Yunniang and Wen Yan sat together, and these two aunts and cousins can be described as half a catty to eight taels. Since Qingyu stepped into the door of the hall, she has been looking at her with the high posture of a woman from a good family, and now seeing her in public, both of them pouted.

"What kind of good thing is it, don't think that if you enter my house, you will become a woman of a good family, but you really wronged my brother." Wang Yunniang bit Wen Yan's ear and whispered in a tone that others could hear.

Qingyu didn't hear it, with a smile on her face all the time, she blessed everyone and walked into the new house with the support of the bride.

It seems that Qingyu is not a simple character. (To be continued......)
