By March, Qinghe Town, located in the southern water town, had already dyed the peaks with green, and the flowers were dressed in bright clothes; The gurgling green water stretches slowly under the arch bridge of bluestone, and I don't know where it comes from or where it goes.

I don't know whose happy event it is, when the sky is still bright, I listen to the sound of suona, and the red whip explodes; For a time, the birds frightened their wings, the dogs barked, and the noise opened the prelude to the day of the people of Qinghe Town.

The initial source of the noise began on the river; Gradually, it extended to the riverside. People walked out, or pushed the window, or stopped, and everyone looked far away, looking at the river.

I saw that on the green river, I slowly rowed over twelve wooden boats covered with red silk, and the boatmen who rowed were all young men, shirtless, wearing white clothes and black trousers, and a bright red silk tied around their waists, shaking the wood pulp vigorously, lapping the green water, and raising layers of waves.

The native-born Shui family, seeing this scene, already knew it in their hearts; Moving two black beads, watching the liveliness of a river.

"Whose family is marrying here, what a big show!"

In the crowd, I don't know who sighed; In all directions, there was a lot of gossip, and they were bustling and lively.

"I know, it's the Ye family of the Splendid Cloth Village!"

In the crowd, a high-pitched female voice sounded, and there was a bit of pride in her voice.

"It's the Ye family!"

The onlookers were not calm for a moment, and the noise came and went.

"This girl is really lucky, she can marry into the Ye family..."

"I heard that it was the girl of the Yan family..."

"The Yan family? Which Yan family? ”

"Which one else, the down-and-out Yan family..."

"This Yan family girl is really a good fate, I heard that the dowry of these twelve boats is all prepared by the Ye family..."

"Yo, that's a mercy from heaven. How come such good things haven't come to me..."

"That's your mother who doesn't have eyesight, and she will give you a baby to a big family early..."

The riverside instantly burst into laughter, all of them were good at watching the show.

In the middle of the riverboat, Xi Po, who was wearing a saffron short coat, supported the bride beside her with both hands, and said with a smile, "The bride is not in a hurry, after crossing the river bend in front, she will arrive at her husband's Ye family." ”

Su Wan under the red hijab, her fingers subconsciously clenched the gown skirt, crumpled the originally smooth fabric, and crumpled the mandarin ducks embroidered with colored threads.

The eyes were full of red, and the noise in the ears made Su Wan, who was only sixteen years old, break out in a cold sweat on her palms. Her body swayed and swayed with the hull of the boat, just like her heart at this moment, rising and falling, without a little stability.

Behind this moment is the direction of home; And ahead, is a strange way home. This time, she will become a woman.

The backyard of the Ye family

Ye Renfu took the gift list from the wedding banquet and walked to the front yard, colliding with the little guy who was running in a panic.

"The Great Butler." When the little guy looked up, he saw a familiar face and trembled with fright.

Ye Renfu rubbed his aching shoulders, frowned slightly, looked at the little guy in front of him, his face was flustered, and he was still holding two pieces of hemp rope in his hands. "Something's wrong, running so inattentive to the image."

The little guy raised his head in panic and handed over the hemp rope in his hand, "Less... The young master ran away..."

"What!" Ye Renfu was taken aback, "It's not for you to be optimistic about the young master, how could you let him run away!" ”

"I... We're bullish... But I don't know the young master, why did you break this hemp rope... ran through the window..."The little guy replied in horror, and now the auspicious time is approaching. But they lost the young master, and if the master knew, he would definitely drive them out of the door.

Ye Renfu listened to the little guy's intermittent words, and only felt a headache. This Ye Jingsheng was used to messing around when he was a child, and originally thought that after sending him to Japan to study, he would improve his temperament when he came back. Unexpectedly, it was still such nonsense.

"Now send more people to look for it, the young master has just come back, and he won't go too far..."

The little guy, who was originally listening carefully, saw the person behind Ye Renfu, and lowered his head in fright for a while. "Sir."

Ye Renfu was slightly stunned, looked at the little guy's panicked expression, and slowly turned around. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was nearly forty or fifty years old, he bowed his head slightly and called, "Father-in-law." ”

Ye Qianzhong put his hands behind his back, and his already serious face was half darker at the moment. "The rebel ran away."

Ye Renfu lowered his head and frowned. The little guy standing on the side only felt that his legs and feet were weak.

"Why don't you look for it!" Ye Qianzhong suppressed the anger in his heart and roared.

"Yes, sir." The little guy nodded in response, turned around and ran away.

Ye Renfu frowned, and his mind quickly thought about where Ye Jingsheng might go. As soon as he raised his head, he met Ye Qianzhong's eyes. Ye Renfu lowered his head and arched his hand, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Renfu will take someone to find it." ”

"Wait." Ye Qianzhong opened his mouth and said.

Ye Renfu stopped, bowed his head slightly, and waited for the order.

Ye Qianzhong walked to Ye Renfu's side, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Renfu's shoulder, his voice was a little tired: "Renfu." I'm afraid I won't be able to find the rebel for a while. But you can't make a mistake when it's auspicious, you go to change your clothes and pick up the happy boat for Jingsheng. ”

"Father-in-law, this is not etiquette!" Ye Renfu was startled and raised his head to look at Ye Qianzhong.

"It's all at this time, and I can't care about any etiquette. Go change your clothes! Ye Qianzhong frowned and shouted.

"Yes, father-in-law." Ye Renfu frowned, although he was unwilling, he finally compromised.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been Ye Jingsheng's stand-in. Ye Jingsheng got into trouble, and he came to carry it; Ye Jingsheng was punished, and he had to accompany him; Now, Ye Jingsheng is married, and he has to go and do it for him. Shouting 'father-in-law' is not as good as the word 'pro' after all.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and both sides of the river are already full of people, sending relatives, welcoming relatives, and watching the excitement; Qinghe Town, which is not big or small, has an unimaginable population, and it is the people who are constantly surging that are pressing.

The boat went around the bay along the river, slowly pulling over and buckling the pile; Twelve boats spread across the river, casting a layer of brilliant color on the previously clear river.

The suona sounded homeopathically, accompanied by a small waist drum, and the welcoming team danced while blowing; The long red whip hanging on the stone pillar, like a straightened python, encountered a little spark, and the whole body thundered, and the red pieces that exploded flew all over the sky, and bursts of gray smoke scurried in the air in an orderly manner.

When Ye Renfu was pushed to the front, it was when the gray smoke was at its thickest, the crowd was overwhelming, the noisy sound, I don't know who stepped on whose foot, who was cursing something, the scene was chaotic for a while.

Su Wan was helped ashore by Xi Po, the noise in her ears and the pungent smell in the air made Su Wan's heart jump up and down with trepidation, and her pale and slender palm subconsciously clenched Xi Po's hand.
