These ducks at home are not enough, so whenever there is a market, they have to go to the market to collect them.

Yunzhu thought of a way, originally had his own storefront, so he found a wooden plank, on which was written "Purchase high-quality live ducks" sign and hung out.

This method really works, there is no need to go to the market every day to wait, every time there is a market when someone sends ducks over, more or less, within half a month to get together more than 200 ducks, all slaughtered, pickled.

The family was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and they saw that Xiangmei's relatives were close.

The furniture that the Zhu family helped to beat was also sent over in advance, with a color of red paint, all of which were made of camphor wood, Zhu Xing's craftsmanship was good, the style was simple, and the neat carving was very good-looking.

The wedding dress was bought by Mrs. Feng with her private money, and it is said that this fabric cost two taels of silver.

Feng Lao Niang is such a daughter, she is naturally willing, and Yunzhu naturally won't say anything. Mrs. Feng bought gold and silver threads and colorful silk threads again, and with the craftsmanship of Xiangmei, she worked in a hurry morning and evening, and finally sewed a gorgeous wedding dress. Even the cuffs and collar placket are embroidered with gold thread, and the belt is even more intricate. The skirt body is a festive Changchun pattern that symbolizes auspiciousness.

When Xiangmei put on her clothes and asked Yunzhu to comment, Yunzhu praised them all: "It's really a pair of skillful hands, you can get it out in just a month, if I say it, it may take half a year." ”

"It's pretty."

Yunzhu nodded, worthy of being made by herself, very fit.

In addition to this wedding dress, Xiangmei has saved a lot of needlework this year. From the quilt to the handkerchief and sachet, she made it all by herself. Everything is delicate work.

Needlework is a test of a girl's craftsmanship and a must-have for women in this era. The Liu family sent a bride price of twelve taels.

Mrs. Feng didn't keep the money for her own use, but used it all to buy two sets of jewelry and four sets of clothes for Xiangmei. In short, Xiangmei's dowry is very rich compared to the previous Yunzhu, and it is also very rich in the eyes of the countrymen.

The dowry is ready, and the wedding date is not far away,

And as a brother and sister-in-law, she should naturally give a box gift. Because of this, the two quarreled a few times. Peace is nothing more than looking good, Yunzhu thinks that it costs a lot here. I really can't come up with that much money, so it's a little unpleasant.

"I didn't say that I shouldn't spend this money, but you can see the situation at the moment, and most of the money in your hands is on the ducks. We have to wait for the Wang family's brother-in-law to settle the bill for us after it is sold out. Don't you usually use these shops in your hand to turn over? I know you want to look good. But you have to think about how capable you are. ”

Yunzhu's words are not unreasonable, but Ping An thinks that his sister is because her relationship has been delayed until now, and he can't help it, and he wants to compensate her. He still had some of his own self-save, he took some out, went to the silver building to make a pair of bracelets, secretly stuffed them to Xiangmei, and instructed: "Don't tell your sister-in-law." ”

Xiangmei was surprised: "What about my brother and sister-in-law fighting again?" ”

"Nothing. Don't think about it. This is a little bit of my heart as an older brother, I don't need to tell your sister-in-law. ”

Xiangmei knows the current situation at home. The stall is so big, and the cost must be large, but her brother's love touched her very much, and the hand that took the bracelet trembled a little.

Yunzhu naturally didn't know about the bracelet, she took some of the money out, and she didn't discuss it with Ping'an, so she went to the fat powder shop to buy two boxes of good fat powder, and went to the silver building to get a plum hairpin and a pair of silver rings. I went to the cloth village and bought two horses, and the price was not very outrageous. These are the boxes that Yunzhu gave to Xiangmei.

She put these in front of Ping An for him to look at: "Look, if you think there is anything missing, you can do it yourself." ”

Ping'an saw that Yunzhu was generous and that all the things he bought were good, so he remembered the quarrel with Yunzhu before, and his face was red, and he was very embarrassed to say, "It's already good." ”

"I asked you, don't look back and say I'm stingy."

Ping An was full of guilt and said, "How could I blame you." ”

"Why not, I think you're very good!"

The two didn't quarrel about adding boxes, and then they were busy building the wedding shed and asking the cook to help cook. The Liu and Feng families sat together again and discussed some specific matters. This time, we talked about the relevant matters very harmoniously and reached an agreement.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the Liu family invited Liu Meng and his aunt to come to the door as Quanfu and Mrs. Lin to urge makeup. Yunzhu helped Mrs. Feng receive the relatives and friends who came to congratulate, and she was so busy that she was dizzy.

The mother and daughter of the Li family came to send a box gift, which was received by Yunzhu.

The Li family and the Feng family didn't have much contact, but Xiaojiao and Xiangmei were good friends, and Xiaojiao encouraged her mother to catch up with Lilly. The countrymen are not so particular, and the Li family itself is not rich, so Ma gathered two pieces of homespun cloth and a basket of eggs. This basket of eggs was prepared by Ma to change oil and salt, and now she used it as a gift, and she was in pain.

Xiangmei sat in the house, and the Quanfu people helped to sort out the bedding, and these people who came from the Liu family to marry had to be carried to the Liu family first.

Since the eighth day of the new year, the Feng family has had to entertain guests, and the main banquet is tomorrow morning. But today, the guests who came to congratulate in twos and threes also had to greet them, and in the evening, they gathered three tables of banquets.

Mrs. Feng invited Feng Bai and Aunt Feng to be guests, so at this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were preparing return gifts for the visitors in the back room.

The return gift is selected by Yunzhu, and each family has a set of dishes. This is Yunzhu asked Ping'an to go to the city to sell porcelain to buy, a simple color of red edge small dishes, sent as a return gift is unique and elegant.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tied these dishes one by one with red rope and tied them securely.

"Those people's return gifts are a few handfuls of red peanuts and a few handfuls of walnuts, which we already look good at. It's a shame that you want to get it. ”

Yun Zhu said with a smile: "If you eat it, it's gone, this bowl can be used forever, and others will think of us Xiangmei as soon as they use this bowl, isn't it good." If we are more generous, then the Liu family will also weigh it, and we will not bully my sister-in-law. ”

The two aunts of the Lin family, several cousins and sisters-in-law also came, but Bi Shi did not come. I heard that this was the arrangement of the eldest aunt Chen, and thought that it was inconvenient for Bi to take the baby, so she asked her to guard the house at home. Yunzhu knows. It must be that the eldest aunt is not satisfied with what Bi did last time, which is deliberately disliking Bi.

There are suddenly so many relatives in the family, and I have to look around for people to set up shops and arrange to move in.

In the middle of the night, she went to check the food in the steamer again, and when she saw the fire in the stove, she was already sleepy and her eyelids were fighting. Master Jiang smiled and said, "Does the Song family not believe me like that? You can rest assured. I may still be negligent on the part of others, but I will definitely cheer up your spirit here and will not delay your business. ”

Yunzhu yawned and said, "That's good." I'm relieved to have your words. You'll have to take a nap too. I'll let Ping An bring you some quilts. ”

Yunzhu knows that sometimes they can't sleep all night when they cook, which is very hard, especially the person in charge of the chef.

When she gets back to her room and gets ready for bed. There were already five people crammed into her bed. are all the ladies of the Lin family. There was really no place for her to sleep. Yunzhu shook her head, so she had to find a place to sit and sit for the night.

Before dawn on the second day, the Liu family sent someone to urge the makeup, and the people who came to see the excitement in the village were going to squeeze the door, and when Xiangmei was dressed neatly, and looked next to Yunzhu, the dressed Xiangmei was indeed more charming and shy than usual. Quanfu put a hijab on her, and Xiangmei sat on the bed. Just waiting for the Liu family's sedan chair.

When the firecrackers sounded, you knew that the sedan chair had entered the door. Yunzhu stood under the eaves. Seeing that everyone was surrounded by a new red shirt, Liu Meng walked into the courtyard. The kid had a smile all over his face, not to mention how happy he was. He generously worshiped the ancestors of the Feng family and gave Mrs. Feng a big gift. When the auspicious time arrived, Liu Meng couldn't wait to take Xiangmei's hand and pull her on the sedan chair.

The person next to him laughed loudly: "Mengzi, what are you in a hurry." This man is the back of his brother. ”

Liu Meng blushed and sneered: "It's not the first time I've come, where do I have any experience." ”

When Xiangmei heard this, she couldn't care about being shy, she lifted her hijab and choked at Liu Meng: "Hmph, do you want to have a second time?" ”

Mrs. Feng listened in the house, ashamed and ashamed, what is this girl going to do!

Mrs. Lin smiled and hurriedly asked Xiangmei to put down her hijab, and whispered in her ear: "I haven't worshiped heaven and earth yet, I haven't entered the cave room, and the newcomers can't meet." ”

Ping'an squatted, and the matchmaker and Quanfu people hugged Xiangmei, so that Ping'an had Xiangmei on his back.

Xiangmei lay on her brother's back and felt extra down-to-earth and warm, as if she had returned to her childhood. At that time, she was also messing around on her brother's back, and for so many years, her brother had not carried her for a long time, and before Xiangmei thought about it, Ping An had already helped her sit in the sedan chair, and stared in her ear: "You can rest assured to go, my mother and my sister-in-law will take care of it." ”

Xiangmei nodded through the hijab.

The singing harmony of the master of ceremonies came: "Get up the sedan chair!" Then came the roar of firecrackers.

Yunzhu looked at this scene, and suddenly remembered the scene when she entered this door, that day was a mess for her, she didn't eat well, she didn't sleep well, she always felt that it was the blink of an eye, and now so much time has passed.

However, Yunzhu didn't have so much time to be sentimental, and she had to go to see off her relatives with Ping'an. Because they were married, they didn't have a sedan chair or anything, so everyone walked directly.

Ping'an and Yunzhu walked together, looked at her and said, "You didn't sleep last night, did you?" ”

"Squinted for a while."

"Then come back, you rest early, you don't care about the affairs at home for the time being, we won't open the door tomorrow."

"It's not like you're going to put all of tomorrow into it, just go to bed early tonight." Yunzhu thought that she would be able to rest all night.

"Do you regret marrying me?"

Ping An suddenly asked such a question, so that Yunzhu didn't react for a while, looked at him in surprise, and said, "What are you talking about." ”

"I really asked you, did you regret it?"

Yunzhu bowed his head and said, "This is also my own choice, and I have no regrets." It's too late to regret it now, isn't it? ”

Ping An clasped her hand tightly and whispered in her ear: "I don't allow you to regret it!" ”

Yun Zhu was stunned, looked up at him, the sun in the moon was not scorching, half of Ping's body was bathed in the sun, from her point of view, I saw his straight nose, thin lips, and green stubble on the side of his mouth, this glance, Yun Zhu felt that he was not so terrible as people said, but felt that he was a little handsome, and it was difficult to find handsome.

The next day, early in the morning. When Ping'an was still asleep, Yunzhu got up, combed his hair, washed his face, turned around and went to the stove to clean up the rest of the food from yesterday, it was hot, and the mother and son also got up.

Everyone sat down to eat, and suddenly there were only three people in the house, and no one spoke, so it seemed unusually deserted, and they finished eating quietly.

Yunzhu went back to the house to clean up, changed her clothes, and said peacefully: "Let's go, we should also go to the street." ”

"You were so tired yesterday that you don't need a day off?"

"It's fine. One more day of closure is one more day of loss. I know there are still some things to deal with at home, so you can help me send these over, and then come back to take care of these things at home, and then come back to help me when I'm done, okay? ”

Seeing that Yunzhu insisted, he had no choice but to do so.

The couple went out into the street together, and Ping An helped her make a fire and chop firewood. I was busy stretching some noodles again.

Yunzhu hurried to boil the soup and fry the seeds.

When the sky was bright, many nearby businesses were gradually opening their doors, and there were indeed some things at home that needed to be safely returned to clean up the aftermath, so he said to Yunzhu: "Then I'll go back and be busy for a while, and then come back at noon." But can you get busy alone? ”

"It's okay, it's not too busy here, you can go first. Of course, it would be best if you could come at noon. ”

"I'll definitely come."

After leaving safely, Yunzhu guarded the store alone, but fortunately, the store was not big, and she could take care of it for the time being.

In the morning, Lao Zhou came over and saw that Yunzhu was the only one, but there were no diners in the store, so he found a place to sit down.

"Do you want to renew your lease when it expires?"

Yunzhu smiled: "Isn't it early?" When the time comes, do you want to knock the store out, sir? ”

Lao Zhou said: "I have this plan, I plan to sell it." If you want it, the price is negotiable. ”

Yunzhu thought about it, this matter still had to be discussed with Ping'an, she couldn't make up her mind for the time being, so she smiled and said, "Cheng, I'll discuss it with my family." I should be able to get back to you after a while. ”

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."

Yunzhu doesn't look down on this shop, firstly, the location is not very good, and secondly, it is small. I thought that next year, if I had more money in hand, I would rent a larger shop on the street again. But that's all for later.

Yunzhu cooked a bowl of noodles for Lao Zhou as usual, and Lao Zhou was very happy. (To be continued......)
