The brides of the two families helped the crying Song Shuang into the sedan chair, and then sprinkled tea and glutinous rice on the sedan chair for exorcism. Ma Du pulled Zhu Si, who was following Song Shuang's ass and drilled into the sedan chair, and put him on the horse he was riding.

"Get up!" The palanquin drivers shouted loudly, and the procession to welcome the relatives slowly moved.

"Xuanzhong, treat my sister well!"

Looking back, I saw Song Ke holding the gate and crying, Ma Du quickly turned his head and didn't look at the pretentious appearance of his eldest brother, isn't it just to marry a girl, Pingjiang is not far from Yingtian and wants to see it, and he doesn't stop it.

After not far ahead, he saw a group of beggars at the corner of the street, old and young, holding sticks on the ground of the bluestone slab, pounding loudly, Ma Du thought that he was here to beg for money, this kind of thing has happened in later generations or in ancient times, so he was ready to let Chang Mao scatter money.

Who knew that the musicians passed, and they didn't stop them, and when the sedan chair got closer, they saw an old beggar come forward and shouted loudly: "On weekdays, I can only live by my sister's almsgiving, and today my sister is happy, I am here to congratulate my sister and her husband on a good New Year, an early birth of a noble son, wealth and glory, and a prince of all generations!" ”

The old beggar spoke, stretched out a pair of rough but clean hands, and held a handful of yellow copper coins in his hand, holding the head of the country high.

Ma Du couldn't help laughing, people all over the city didn't give Lao Tzu a favor, and there was a group of beggars to give gifts, planting good causes and getting good results, sometimes the bald donkey was quite reasonable, "Chang Mao accepted the gift!" ”

Chang Mao hadn't dismounted yet, but Guan Jia hurriedly ran over, "Uncle, sister is a gift for her, it's not appropriate for you to accept it." ”

Song also followed: "It's really inappropriate for you to accept it." ”

Guan Jia ran over and lifted the hem to hold the copper coin, and said politely: "Sister, it is inconvenient for her to come forward to thank you, she has received your deep friendship, there is a ready-made banquet in the house, please come to your home to eat." ”

Ma Du is very pleased, whose own mother-in-law is rude and willful and ignorant, this thing is quite atmospheric.

The welcoming procession went around and returned to Pingmen, but it took a long time to board the ship this time, because the dowry given by the eldest brother was really a lot.

Ten miles of red makeup is exaggerated, but the horses that can be lifted are already uncountable, and there are also ** couches, cabinets, tables and chairs, cages, various utensils, and servants. Madu also saw the loom, and he believed that it would not be able to weave cloth when it came to his house, but could only form cobwebs.

Shen Wansan looked at Ma Du, "Because it is a distant marriage, so the Song family did not accompany the store this time, and the land was replaced by the real thing, marrying a girl in our Pingjiang can only be regarded as an ordinary dowry, if you marry a sister, it is considered a lot, Song Ke is afraid that the sister will have no status in your family!" Shen has seen the list of dowries, and it is not less than this number! Then he stretched out four fingers and shook his head.

"So much, I didn't give him a bride price! This doesn't empty his family. ”

"Where can I! Mr. Song's family is rich, and the things you pulled back from Zhang Shicheng's mansion are worth two fingers, he just flipped through them and gave them to you! ”

Ma Du couldn't help sighing, he didn't expect that he was still stained with Zhang Shicheng's light, "How do you know so clearly outside Shen Yuanwai?" ”

"Mr. Song felt that those things were not practical, so he just changed some things here for Shen."

"Shen Yuanwai is really doing a good business, I'm afraid those things will have to be doubled in your hands!"

Shen Wansan said with a smile: "It's worthless, that is, a box of gems can still be eye-catching." When I arrive, I can't turn it into a congratulatory gift and spit it back to you. ”

"One yard to one yard, as if I don't have to pay it back."

Ma Du caught a glimpse of Zhu Si on the boat that Song Shuang was on, so he hurriedly followed, and today he found that Song Shuang was swollen, and he didn't know if he was dazzled, which was related to his future welfare, and it was necessary to confirm it.

Guan Jia stood at the bow of the boat, "Uncle, you can't go up, it's not in accordance with the rules!" ”

"I'll just go over and say a word to your sister!"

"If you have anything in mind, I can pass on a message to you, and I'm not afraid of trouble." Guan Jia stopped on the board of the boat, just not letting Ma Du get on the boat

The cabins creaked open, and Xu Xiao came out of it and blessed Ma Du, "If you want to see the bride, just wait for the candle night in the cave room, the bride can't see outsiders now, please respect yourself." "It's rare that this eldest sister didn't spit venom.

"I'm an outsider?" Ma Du pointed to his nose, "Frost and I are a genuine husband and wife with three books and six gifts, didn't my nephew go in just now?" ”

Xu Xiao rolled her eyes directly, although she didn't say anything, Ma Du understood what she meant, "Who else can you compare with?" Xu Xiao simply let Guan Jia go to the shipboard.

Ma Du was bored, and when he saw Zhu Si sticking out his head from Song Shuang's cabin and grimacing, Ma Du pointed at him with his finger, "It's not bad for these two days, I'll clean you up when I return to Yingtian!" ”

The dowry that Song Ke accompanied really filled the rest of the big boat, which was enough, and Shen Wansan really had to be a talent, and he really didn't find the wrong person to handle it.

It wasn't until the evening that the fleet was renewed, but this time it was not the route when it came, entering the Grand Canal from the Jiangnan water network, after all, there were more brides and a lot more dowries, and it was a lot more risky to take the Grand Canal.

The fleet passed through Changzhou Mansion from Zhenjiang into the Yangtze River, and then marched more than 100 miles to Yingtian. It was not as fast as it was, and it took more than two days and nights, in addition to the headwinds and waters, and the deliberate slowing down of the itinerary to pinch the time.

When the fleet entered Qinhuai, it was noon on the wedding day, Ma Du got off the boat at the entrance of the Qinhuai River, Lao Liu had been waiting here, Ma Du rode a fast donkey and ran straight to Fangshan, and went back to his home to wait for the arrival of the family team.

With the experience of riding a donkey last time, Ma Du is very familiar with it, and he has not suffered much from the more than twenty miles of Dandan, and he should still be able to use it at night.

As soon as he got home, he found that there were a lot of cars and horses parked near his house, and Ma Du asked Lao Liu, "Lao Liu, I remember not sending such an invitation, why did so many people come?" ”

Ma Du didn't plan to invite many people, but he sent wedding cards to the Xu family, the Chang family, the Tang family, the Li family, and the Song family, and even a big bull like Li Shanchang didn't send it.

Ma Dajia didn't let him play with Li Shanchang from the beginning, and Ma Du didn't want to play with him, Lao Zhu became the emperor Li Shanchang is the leader of the Huaixi Gang, even if he retired from the position of prime minister early, his influence on the court was unmatched. Don't look at the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case, Lao Zhu has killed so many people, none of them have a greater impact than killing Li Shanchang.

Lao Liu said with a smile: "If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you are all uninvited for the face of the prince!" ”

"Have you prepared so many banquets, when the time comes, there will be not enough wine and food, but it will be a loss!"

"Don't worry, master, the chief steward of the Shen family has already been prepared, and there will be no leak!"

After getting off the pipeline, Ma Du got off the donkey and hurried home, but heard a gloomy voice beside him: "Congratulations to the horse supervisor!" ”

It was obviously a good word, but Ma Du couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back, and turned his head to see a face that he would never forget, Yang Xian!
