Chapter 70: The Wedding
A heavy snow fell, Shenhe Bay and the surrounding valleys were covered in silver, and after the heavy snowfall, Carpenter Zhao's house was busy.
Lao Zhao is rushing to make a set of furniture for the Taishi chair of the Eight Immortals Table, and also to build a set of cages, the boxes that were originally used to make charges are too busy, and this is even more busy with a set of furniture, and he wants to find people in the village to come over to help, one by one either in the coal yard or in the brick yard, and even his mother-in-law said that he is not free.
If this was a slap in the face before, now thinking about his wife's monthly income, he still didn't dare to say anything.
Thinking of the cousin's house in Huangjiazhai ten miles away from here, there were two and a half children, so I went out and hurried to Huangjiazhai.
As soon as I entered the house, I looked at the things in the pot and pouted, and the family was on the kang Maodong, explaining the intention, and my cousin also said that learning carpenter's craft is not as good as farming, and it is not good to say that it is good to spread out.
Lao Zhao became popular all of a sudden, the gruel in your pot can be seen, and you are all so poor that you still look down on craftsmen on the sour shelf? Lao Tzu is also working with the heirs of the ancestors, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's urgent employment, he would still come to you?! shook his shoulders and threw the burden on the kang, smashed it on the kang with a bang, three times money! This is the salary of the two boys' apprentices for a year, and it will rise in the future, and they will not be pulled down.
Go! Fools don't go, the father and son can't make a consistent amount of money by digging in the field for a year, hurry up! Go to your cousin's house to eat, his family is rich, and there is a reason why Lao Zhao is so popular, and it won't work if he doesn't hurry up, Mr. Xiao is going to use it when he gets married.
Before entering the lunar month, Xiao's mother first invited Wang Quan and several respected old people in the village, and called Xiao Zheng and Jin'er to herself, saying that your master's one-year filial piety has expired, according to the ancient rites, although it is said that filial piety is three years, but you are both not young.
Lao Wang Quan also said with a smile: "The old lady Li who is under Jiuquan must be happy for the two of you to get married, although our Zhuang family should pay attention to rational numbers, but also look at the actual situation, right, now the villagers are also looking forward to drinking the happy wine of the two of you."
Xiao Zheng glanced back at Jin'er, Jin'er's face flushed, and he said a word, but a few old people were in charge, turned around and ran out of the house.
Lao Wang Quan laughed and said, "That's right."
When the news came out, the cold village was immediately filled with a jubilant taste, since the death of the old lady Li, Xiao Zheng has done no worse than the old lady, and the changes in the two villages of Shenhewan and Lizhuang in the past year or so are in everyone's eyes and hearts. The new farm tools make people full of food and have confidence in their stomachs, the copper coins in the waist bag hold up the waist pole of the person, there is a headache and brain fever that does not even come out of the village, Xiao Xian can give people a knife and scrape the bones, what disease can not be cured by him!
Everyone knows that Jin'er and Xiao Zheng are married, and the marriage of a filial piety period can be done well, and the first to get the news is Xue Rengui and Gong Ruoyi, and the two of them don't have much money in their pockets, and they discussed finding Zhao Carpenter and took a group of people to the mountains to cut down a few big trees for Mr. to make a set of furniture assemblies, knowing that Mr. doesn't like the pungent smell of paint, and after doing it, he polished it smooth and brushed a layer of varnish to look translucent.
Xiao Hai put down the work at hand, and followed up more than a dozen carts into the village with a few people in Ershun, which were full of chickens, ducks, fish and meat used in weddings to eat, as well as a few cars of wine lees, after drinking that liquor last time, the other wine was full of water in the mouth, this time hurry up and make more to let the villagers try it, and I can take the opportunity to drink two more sips to relieve my hunger.
With the strong smell of wine, Xiao Zheng's courtyard suddenly had a lot of busy figures, everyone killed the chickens and fish, washed them and buried them in the snowdrift, and waited for the wedding day to cook a banquet. Xiao Hai's father, Wang Quan and Lao Zhang Shun became the chief steward, and several old men were full of energy, one by one like young men, they were busy with the wind under their feet, standing in the courtyard from time to time shouting and directing people to work, and they had the momentum of commanding thousands of troops and horses.
Xiao's mother led a group of women to make bedding and wedding dresses in the house, and Jin'er's house was also warm, and a woman with both children was selected to be the bride, and the hair on her face was twisted away with colorful silk thread Jin'er, which was called opening her face, and a lively and active little daughter-in-law leaned in Jin'er's ear and didn't know what to mutter, and Jin'er's face was blushing when she heard it.
Xiao Zheng has nothing to do, he is entertaining and receiving congratulatory gifts from others, and the villagers are also real, those who have money will pay more, and those who don't have money will pay less, everyone will have their minds on the line, no one will point to this to make a fortune, and Xiao Zheng really does not lack this gift money.
Zhou Bingrui also rushed over with the gift of the old man Bai Chuanli, or Bai Chuanli simply, a pair of yellow and clear gold Ruyi weighing a few catties, plus a pair of jade and jade bracelets full of water, which are worth a lot at first glance.
Zhou Bingrui did the same, took a box and opened it to see that it was full of gold jewelry, and the eyes of the people who shook were yellow, and even the longevity lock used by the child was ready.
Xiao Zheng looked at the things sent by his uncle and nephew and bared his teeth for a long time, and praised the old man Bai for knowing me best, knowing what to send to make me happy, much better than the public loser, and sent two broken bronze lords from afar, and it looked like two broken copper bumps from a distance, and it was quite heavy. I can't hold up the strength to pour the wine and drink it, and I can't smash my teeth if I don't get it right, and it's a thousand-year-old family.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pestled by Jin'er behind him, and looked at Xiao Zheng and said that the books you have been reading over the years have run into the belly of the five flowers, and the pair sent by the people is a ritual vessel for the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is called Zun! This thing is hard to find, that is, the wealthy dignitaries have this pair of ritual utensils have to be placed in a conspicuous place in the main hall, which represents the inheritance and heritage of the family, you are not satisfied, and you don't know how to read this book.
It's against you, and you dare to teach your husband a lesson before you go through the door! looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one, and slapped Jin'er on the buttocks, and the family law served! Jin'er blushed and gritted her teeth, stepped on Xiao Zheng's feet, turned around and ran out of the door, leaving Xiao Zheng jumping on one foot in the house.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom, a full moon at dusk has risen to the horizon in a hurry, the plum trees in the small courtyard are full of festive lanterns, and the babies are running and playing in the courtyard with sweet candy in their mouths, and even the five flowers do not know who tied a red flower on their heads.
Xiao Zheng and Jin'er both live in the same family, a few old people discuss it and worship heaven and earth directly at home, the croppers are not so particular, Lao Wang Quan's face was painted with bells and whistles, Lou Shide covered a tray with a red cloth, followed Wang Quan to Xiao Zheng and Jin'er with three glasses of wine, and performed the "three drinks and easy to drink" ceremony to the groom and bride.
Wang Quan went to that station, everyone couldn't hold back and want to have fun, only to see Lao Wang Quan singing in a strange tone: "The first cup of wine to congratulate the groom, the husband and wife gossip is told in the nest, don't ask people to come to the room; The second cup of wine to congratulate the groom, in case of trouble at home, you must be measured, and you must prevent others from making noise. The third cup of wine congratulates the groom, and wishes the husband and wife to have a noble son and a champion! ”
A room full of people laughed straight down after hearing this, Xiao's mother wiped her tears while laughing, and Ruoyi squeezed her eyebrows at Xiao Zheng vigorously, Xiao Zheng couldn't cry or laugh after listening to it, fortunately, Jin'er had a cover on her head, otherwise she would be a big red face.
After the husband and wife finished worshipping, Jin'er was sent into the cave room by the bride, and the sound of Xiao Hai, Zhou Bingrui and the villagers fighting wine came from outside the house.
Xiao Zheng asked Lou Shide to follow him out of the door with a wine jug to toast the villagers, and the fireworks pushed the festive atmosphere to the top.
Gong Ruoyi didn't dare to drink last time his father and grandfather, this time no one cares about the spirit suddenly, but you don't look at what you drink, two taels of white wine under the belly red neck thick tongue, you have to perform light skills for everyone, the young man moved on the wall, the person was already handsome, a green clothes on the wall came a golden rooster independent with the beauty of the jade tree in the wind, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law in the yard all applauded loudly, the cheers did not fall on the wine, and an upside-down green onion was pestled into the snowdrift under the corner of the wall, In the laughter of the villagers, Xue Rengui pulled it out and took it to the house to sober up.
During the third watch, the crowd slowly dispersed, and Xiao Zheng walked into the cave room, where a pair of red candles were lit up, and the candle heart was jumping happily. As soon as the hijab was lifted, Jin'er was carefully dressed, and the red wedding dress reflected the snow-white face like the morning glow, and Xiao Zheng was a little stupid for a while.
I lowered my head and just wanted to kiss Jin'er's face, but I didn't expect my mouth to be pouted by Jin'er, and pointed to the cabinet next to me that contained the wedding dress and whispered, "There are people inside."
Xiao Zheng immediately understood what was going on, walked to the cabinet and said loudly to Jin'er: "My mother said that the cabinet with wedding clothes is not allowed to open the cabinet door for three days, otherwise there will be many rats in the cave room, I think so, we have five poisonous powder in this room to sprinkle some into the cabinet, and then let's put the cabinet door against the table, just don't open the cabinet door for three days, madam, do you think it's good?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the upper cabinet door opened, only to see Gong Ruoyi blushing, a mouthful of wine from the inside and shaking out, looking back at Jin'er, seeing Jin'er pointing down again, and pulling the lower cabinet door open, I saw Lou Shide lying in the air without daring to breathe.
It's been discovered! After Lou Shide climbed out of it, he shouted at Gong Yi Ruoyi: "I knew that you were a person who only had a good face and no brains, and couldn't help but cheat, I didn't want to bring you here, okay, it's not enough to succeed, it's more than enough to lose, and it's boring."
Gong Yi Ruoyi scratched his head and said, "I wasn't scared by him, I couldn't hold back my urine bubbles."
gave each of the two babies a silver ingot, pushed them to the door, kicked them out of the courtyard door one by one.
I turned around and found Jin'er sitting on the edge of the bed eating and laughing, hugged her and kissed her after passing, Jin'er struggled a little and didn't move again, pulled Jin'er to the table, Xiao Zheng picked up the pen, and said to Jin'er after a little bit: "This song is called 'My Nong's Words' I will write to you tonight, and we will depend on each other in life and death in the future, and I Xiao Zheng will never abandon you."
Jin'er read softly in her mouth, "... Pinch another you, mold a me, I have you in the mud, you have me in the mud ......", after reading it, Jin'er's eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and she leaned her head on Xiao Zheng's chest for a while, lowered her head and said with a red face: "Husband, I'll wait for you to change your clothes."
When she took off Jin'er's wedding dress, Xiao Zheng found that she was wearing the ruby necklace left by her master around her neck, and the gems flickered in the light of the candlelight, especially the light reflected by the flame gem in the middle reflected a pink on Jin'er's chest, swallowed her saliva, and the two pairs of wedding candles were extinguished in the cave room.......
