Early in the morning, the men and women of the ancient mansion performed their duties and were busy with their own work. Outside the back door of the ancient mansion, the Gu Wu family of Dagujia Village was wandering around with a big rooster in his hand.

Ding Jiabao and another family member came back with a cart pulled by a mule, and bags of rice and noodles were pushed on the cart, which was half a cart. In addition, there were seven or eight baskets filled with greens, meat, and mushrooms, and three baskets with unknown contents.

Gu Wu recognized Ding Jiabao, came over with a cheeky face, and followed the mule cart, "Big brother, big brother, I am Gu Erniu's fourth aunt, and my second girl is taken care of by my eldest brother, hehe...... Hehe......"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people who made trouble in front of the ancient mansion, Ding Jiabao naturally remembered. He didn't even want to give a straight look, "Get up, get up, don't get in the way, I don't know any two girls who are not two girls." ”

Gu Wu was anxious, "Hey, big brother, my second girl was sold to the ancient mansion, how can you say that you don't recognize it." No, no," she raised the big that was still struggling in her hand, "This is what I, an aunt, specially sent to mend the second girl's body." ”

Ding Jiabao ignored her, strode forward, and knocked on the back door, "We're back, open the door." ”

There was an answer from inside the door, the bolt rang, and soon, two sturdy wooden doors were pushed open from the inside.

Gu Wu was in a hurry, "Big brother, big brother, trouble the big brother to call the second girl out, just for a while, I will say a few words to the second girl." Trouble big brother. As she spoke, she hurriedly stuffed fifty copper plates strung together into Ding Jiabao's hand.

Ding Jiabao blushed his face and threw back the fifty copper plates to her, "Hurry up, if you dare to entangle, we will only be rude." ”

Gu Wu was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and could only watch the fully loaded mule cart enter the ancient mansion, and then the two thick wooden doors closed, and there was the sound of door bolts and locks inside, as well as the sound of footsteps walking away. She couldn't, walked away slowly step by step, walked out of a distance of no more than fifty meters, and saw a mother-in-law waiting on the side of the road, so she hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face, and stuffed fifty copper plates to her mother-in-law, "Mama Ye, Mama Ye, I really did my best, you see, I can't even enter the back door of the ancient mansion, and I can't see the dead girl of Erniu." Alas! I, I just can't help it. Why don't you think of another way? ”

Mama Ye gave Gu Wu a cold look, and without saying a word, she put away the copper plate and turned around and left.

The flattering smile on Gu Wu's face froze for a moment. She took a deep breath, snorted, and walked in the other direction.

At this time, Gu Erfeng came over from the side of the road, with a reassuring smile on his face, and took the big in Gu Wu's hand and carried it, "Mother, you did a great job, so that the two will not be offended, let's live our own worry-free life, and not mix with the fights of large families." ”

When Gu Wu heard this, his face improved a lot, "Erfeng, you're right." In the future, my mother will listen to you, divide the family early, don't fight with your milk, let's go out alone, and life will definitely be better than now. ”

Gu Erfeng's eyes were slightly red, "Mother, that's how it should be." My eldest brother and I have a lot of strength, and my sister-in-law is good, diligent, and filial to my father and mother...... Mother, the second girl, no, it's lily of the valley. Sister Lily of the Valley is fine, she saw me the day before yesterday and gave me a lot of money, saying that it was for me to save up and marry my daughter-in-law, and I also gave me a silver earring, saying that it was for my mother. In the past two days, there have been many people in the family, and it is difficult to take it out. When I went back, I quietly gave it to my mother, and my mother put on the earrings of Sister Lily of the Valley's filial piety......"

Gu Wu's eyes were wet, "Okay, good, put it on." ”

The mother and son didn't say a word, and walked all the way back to Dagujia Village. As soon as they entered the fence gate, they saw Gu He standing at the door of the hall and watching them.

Gu Erfeng hurriedly spread the big in his hand, "Milk, people won't let you in the door, and you won't let you see Erniu, so it's blown out." ”

Gu He immediately scolded with a sharp voice, "One by one, you can't do anything for nothing, raising you is blind food, it's better to raise a few more old hens, so that the old hens can lay eggs, what can you do?" What to stare at? Stare again, the old lady poked your dog blind first. This is naturally scolding the fourth daughter-in-law, Gu Wu.

Gu Wu wanted to reply, but Gu Erfeng stopped him, "Mother, you promised your son." ”

Gu Wu turned his face when he heard this, and went back to the wing room where their family lived, and Gu Erfeng also followed, leaving only Gu He standing in the courtyard and scolding.

"The wings are stiff, aren't they? Dare to shake your face with your milk, right? Sue you, the matter is not done, the Wu Mansion is to blame, and you have to carry it around......"

Gu Hoe, who was sitting on the kang head in the house, drooped his head, thinking of what his grandson Erfeng said half a month ago, and sighed, this family is not divided.

Besides, in the ancient mansion, everyone is jubilant, and the busy feet in and out do not touch the ground. Among them, the housekeeper and Su's mother were the busiest, and the joy on their faces was the strongest. Tomorrow is the day when Gu Yuanhe gets married, and his son is finally going to marry a wife, and they are naturally happy to be parents.

Gu Yuanhe is not small, so from "Nacai" to "Welcome", the days have not dragged on for too long. The day of the welcome was calculated by someone, and it was set on the day when the farming was more idle before the autumn harvest, and it happened to be before the reunion festival on August 15.

There are red fruits in the house, Qingshu took into account that there were many people coming in and out on the day of Gu Yuanhe's marriage, and there were many people at that time, so he decided to hold the wedding banquet in the flavor snack shop. Therefore, the flavor snack shop did not open today, and yesterday it hung a sign that was closed for three days.

After a busy day's work and preparations, as soon as it got dark, I rested early.

Before dawn on the second day, the bridegroom dressed neatly and went to the town gate with the greeting procession, and as soon as the town gate was opened, he left the town in the congratulations of the officers and soldiers guarding the town gate, and went straight to Xiaogujia Village.

In the house, a new house was arranged for Gu Yuanhe early in the morning. The new house is fully equipped with belongings and is all brand new. The two new houses next to the Gu Yuan River, as well as the other two new houses that are being arranged, are prepared for Ding Jiabao and Xu Sanniang, who later got married.

After the bridegroom set off, the housekeeper and Su's mother came over to greet Qingshu, who got up early. Qing Shu smiled and said, "My son is marrying a wife, you are busy today as a father." All the other things in the house are put down, and I am keeping an eye on it, you just have to handle Brother Yuanhe's marriage. ”

The housekeeper thanked Su's mother and hurried to work.

Running a marriage requires manpower, and it is very tiring, so Qingshu naturally knows it. In the inner courtyard, Guan Pozi, who was beside the Gu Ye clan, did not make other arrangements and continued to serve the Gu Ye clan. Qingshu only left Xiaojuan by her side, Ding Jiamei and Xiaoyu were dispatched by Su's mother, and Lily of the Valley followed Xu Sanniang to help in the flavor snack shop. Qingyang only left Guan Mu by his side, and Gu Yuanbao followed his brother to pick up his relatives. The family members in the house, except for a few family members who must stick to the door, everyone else is busy with marriage today by the housekeeper. Afraid that there would be not enough manpower, ten people were transferred from Zhuangzi.

The adults in the house were very busy, so Qingshu took Xiaoya, Maizi and Shengge with him. Mr. Lu is the master of ceremonies at the time of today's visit, so the school has a day off, and the three of them in Qingyang are very idle, and they also gathered over, pestering Qingshu to listen to the story.

Qing Shu didn't accept them, and decided to let them fight among themselves, "Guess who the boy and girl who got out of the new bed today will choose?" Roll out of the new bed and get the money! ”

After all, Chen Qiaojiang was nine years old, so he cut and pointed at Shengge and Maizi, "You have to choose them as big, only the two of them are suitable here." ”

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong longed for the new bed, glanced at each other, and looked at Qingshu, "Sister, is it fun to roll the new bed?" "They don't want to make money, they just never get involved, and they think it's strange.

Chen Qiaojiang just wanted to despise them, but Qing Shu looked at him with a smile, "I heard that when your little uncle got married, you cried to get out of bed, and beat your uncle's little brother." ”

Chen Qiaojiang immediately blushed, "Where, how can there be?" "Said with a weak face.

In this way, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong yearn for it even more.

Qingshu swept the little radish heads present one by one, only Xiaoya and a female baby, and the others were all male babies, hmm, what should I do? Zhou Xing of Dr. Zhou's family is also a male baby, so he can't save the scene. Suddenly, she thought of someone and beckoned Xiaojuan over, whispering for a while.

Xiaojuan was stunned, and hurried to do what Qingshu explained.

At this time, Qing Shu took a string of babies behind him to the house where Xu Wuniang did needlework on weekdays, opened the cabinet with various fabrics and tossed for a while, found half an ordinary red cloth, measured the width of a long bundle, cut one end with scissors, and then pulled it out, pulling out a long one. In this way, a total of ten strips of red cloth were torn off.

Under the curious gaze of a group of little guys, Qing Shu took a strip of red cloth and tied it to Shengge as a belt first, followed by Maizi, Xiaoya and others. The six people present all tied their red belts, and Qing Shu held the remaining four in his hand and waved his hand, "Let's go." ”

Chen Qiaojiang pulled the red belt around his waist with a disgusted expression, "I don't want this, I want silk." ”

Qing Shu immediately turned around and slapped him on the forehead, "Don't be wordy, either be obedient or don't play with us." Seeing that he was honest, she commanded them to stand in the order from the youngest to the largest, and she herself walked in front, and let them follow back like little tails.

Xiaojuan had already returned, holding the red silk and red paper in her hands, "Miss, the things are here." Mrs. Cheng has also seen it, and she reassured Miss that she has gathered people for you in a hurry. The work of making the brand was handed over to Cai Tieniu, and he said that it would be done soon. ”

Qing Shu thought for a moment, "What is Mr. Lu doing now?" ”

Guan Mutou replied, "Miss Hui, Mr. Lu is drinking tea in his courtyard." ”

Qing Shu entered his study, found a large piece of rice paper that had not been cut, and gently rolled it up, "Wood, hurry up and go to Mr. Sù, let Mr. come to the school to find us, and ask Mr. for help if you have something." ”

Guan Mutou ran to find someone, Qing Shu hugged the needlework basket, took the rouge box on the dresser, and took the six small ones to the school. There are tables and chairs in the school, six small rows of seats, Qingshu demonstrates how to cut out ten small red papers, and the rest is handed over to Xiaojuan to cut, and then teaches six small paper cranes, simple roses, and small paper fans.

Chen Qiaojiang felt novel, but he hadn't started to make trouble yet.

Mr. Lu came over and was surprised to see the six children who were buried in something.

Qing Shu ran to spread out the large sheet of rice paper on the table, invited Mr. Lu to sit down, and then asked, "Sir, help us draw the bride and groom on this piece of paper, a little in the middle, below, and here are fat dolls, male and female babies should have them, cute and chubby, draw a pair." Oh, and two pairs are ok too. ”

Mr. Lu was stunned, "Wait, wait, Mr. is not a painter, how can you paint whatever you say." Yuanhe is just that, this Mr. bride has never seen it, and he can't draw it. ”

Qing Shu was in a hurry, "Sir, I don't want you to draw Yuanhe and Aqin, or let you draw a pair of brides and grooms, you can sketch the appearance casually, the important thing is to make people understand at a glance that the painting is a pair of newlyweds." Fat dolls too, you imagine paintings, but the chubby and cute comes. ”

Mr. Lu listened, groaned slightly, lifted the pen, dipped the freshly ground ink on the wood, and put down the pen without thinking, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of newcomers and two little dolls in belly pockets crawling all over the ground under the feet of the newcomers jumped on the paper.

Qingshu was very satisfied, as soon as Mr. Lu put down the pen, she hurriedly dried the ink, then opened the rouge box, dipped the tip of her little finger, and pressed it lightly on the left face of the bride, and then drew a circle, until it felt natural, and then took away the little finger.

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and looked at it seriously.

Qingshu dipped her little finger in rouge and repeated the previous action until the faces of the bride and groom were flushed, and she turned to the two little babies. After completing the red-faced effect, she accepted the rouge box, "Xiaojuan, is the brand ready?" ”

Xiaojuan was looking at the door, and when she saw Cai Tieniu who was carrying something, she shouted that she was coming, and ran out to pick it up.

This so-called brand, because Qingshu was in a hurry, Cai Tieniu put the thin wooden board together, and then embedded the thin wooden board into one end of the two round sticks and fixed it. Standing up or holding up is a big sign.

As soon as the sign was placed against the wall, Qing Shu took Mr. Lu's painting to the sign and compared, "The size is just right, come, let's paste it." ”

After a short time, press the extra edge of the painting to the back of the sign and paste it. Qing Shu took a few steps back and looked at it, "Xiaojuan, you quickly make two festive knots." "Qingyang, hand your folded flowers to my sister two." "Qiao Jiang, if you dare to bully Xiaoya again, you will be pinched by your ears." "Xiao Rong, my sister has given you the glorious and arduous task of painting the bride and groom's wedding dress red with cinnabar. Oh, and the belly pocket of the little doll has to be painted too. "Little girl, take the paper cranes, fans and flowers that are threaded and folded."

In the chirping of children, in the noise of adults and children, the strange and festive sign to celebrate the newlyweds was born. The bride and groom who wore red wedding dresses and smiled and blushed, the male and female babies who wore red belly pockets crawling all over the ground, the red string of flowers hanging from above, and the pairs of festive knots hanging from the left and right corners made the little ones who had been busy for a long time look straight.
