Mujia Village, at the door of Mei's house.

The sedan chair carried by four people, plus two gongs and drummers in front, a group of six people, this set of team hired once is 300 Wen, which was specially invited by Mei Tongsheng from the town.

"The bride has arrived!"

"Oh, come and see the bride!"

With the frolic of the naughty child, the sound of firecrackers "crackled".

The villagers who came to eat and drink gathered in the courtyard to watch the bride fall into the sedan chair.

"Tsk! This Mei Fuzi is really changing, and he is willing to spend this money in vain? When I married the first one, I was not willing to use a sedan chair! An old lady smacked her tongue.

Countrymen live a rough life, pay attention to affordability, even if it is a happy event at home, borrow a carriage, donkey cart can pick up relatives, how many are willing to spend money to hire a sedan chair?

Ordinary people are reluctant, Mei Tongsheng has always been stingy, so naturally he should be reluctant, but this time it is strange.

It's not that Mei Tongsheng's temperament has changed drastically, Mei Tongsheng's heart hurts when he pays for it, just thinking about Li Huaihua, he can't bear to leave it behind.

Speaking of which, Mei Tongsheng's wife has been gone for several years, and she has been a widower for several years, but she put all her mind on the schoolwork of her children and grandchildren before, and she didn't feel lonely and lonely, but this time she was sick and bedridden.

The son has an idea, the grandson has a cold temperament, and the daughter-in-law only has a pair of children in her eyes.

Although Li Huaihua is a second-married woman, she is eighteen years old here, a young woman with a bright and delicate appearance, Mei Tongsheng saw it twice, and she was satisfied and gave birth to a little pity.

The three hundred dollars that hired Huaqiao, Mei Tongsheng did not make a face for himself, but for Li Huaihua. Let everyone in the village see that the Mei family is serious about this family business; Let also let the son and daughter-in-law who have always been high-minded and high-minded take a look, don't lose respect because Li Huaihua is young.

When I arrived at the wedding hall and the worship hall, there was an accident.

This marriage rarely has to worship heaven and earth, but above this happy hall, there is one more thing, that is, the tablet of Mei Tongsheng's deceased wife.

The villagers who were waiting to see the worship hall couldn't help but talk about it, they really didn't understand what to do to alarm the dead, and they all looked at Mei Xiucai, thinking about whether they were holding back their big moves here. But looking at the warmth and calmness of the Du family's hospitality, Mei Xiucai occasionally went out of the house to deal with it politely, and did not mean to object to the stepmother-in-law and stepmother entering the door, which was really strange.

Mei Tongsheng also looked at his son, his face was ugly.

The land handed down by his ancestors was sold by his son for gambling, what did he say? Now he only spends a few taels of silver to marry a house, and if his son stops him, then he will be annoyed.

Mei Xiucai said "softly": "Dad, the rules of etiquette have their own laws, and those who enter the door after this have to perform in front of the original ranking." ”

Mei Tongsheng has also heard this rule, and those who enter the door after this must perform the concubine ceremony in front of the original partner, which is what the etiquette says, "the concubine is different", even if they are all wives, but the original partner is the main concubine, but it is a little sneering, and he whispered to the bride.

Li Huaihua was already nervous, she was a peasant girl, and now she has entered the Mei family in the scholarly family, which can be regarded as a "high marriage", and there are many rules, so she worshiped the tablet of the former person according to Mei Tongsheng's instructions.

In the eyes of the villagers, they didn't think that there were many rules for reading, but that it was Mei Xiucai who gave her stepmother a horse, and she was right to watch the excitement.

Mei Duo stood behind the crowd, thinking that Mei Xiu would continue to make things difficult for Li Huaihua, and couldn't help but be a little worried, but she didn't expect that there was nothing else, so she passed peacefully.

The villagers who were waiting to see the excitement also felt that "the thunder was loud and the rain was falling", which was a bit of a sense of excitement.

When you sit at the table, the wine and food come up, it is the "four to the end" banquet, four cold dishes, four small stir-fries, four large bowls, plus four dishes of noodles and rice, which looks very decent, but in the end, there are few meat and vegetables, and there are many green vegetables, which is not that affordable.

However, everyone in the village knew Mei Tongsheng's style, and they didn't think about big fish and big meat before they came, but they were not disappointed. It's just that the parents of those students who were "invited" to come have to slander in their hearts, fifty wen can buy several catties of pork, but on this clear soup and little water, it would be good to be able to get a piece of meat and dip it in the taste of meat.

Xiji Town, Baiwei Xiang Food Shop.

Because when he arrived in the town, when it was time to eat, Gui Chongyang first took Li He to the Baiwei Xiang Food Shop.

In the past, Guiqiu was not fixed when he was in three shops, and others often had to run several stores when they looked for him, and then he set a rule, one every month on one hundred and forty-seven, one on two or five days, one on three hundred and sixty-nine, and a rest every ten days.

Today, on the first day of October, Gui Chongyang went directly to the Barilla next to the dock, and Gui Qiu took turns here today.

Li He is about the same age as Gui Qiu, and he lives in the front and back yards, so naturally he will not know each other. It's just that the Gui family was avoided by the villagers back then, and Li He was not lively, so the two teenagers had no contact.

Seeing Gui Chongyang taking Li He, Gui Qiu wondered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and let the two of them go directly to the private room on the second floor.

"I have something to discuss with my fifth uncle, and it just so happens that the school is here today." With Li He here, Gui Chongyang couldn't say anything about Fangzi, so he said vaguely.

Whether it is a village school, or a private school in the town, or an official school in the county, it is all "Wangshuo Xiumu", thinking of this, Gui Chongyang thought of Mei Sheng of the county school, and today should also be Xiumu, but I didn't hear the news that the Mei family's "little Sanyuan" returned to Mujia Village.

Usually, it's just that, but today is the day when Mei Sheng's step-grandmother enters the door, and she doesn't go back, it seems that the Mei family is not only an uncle and nephew, but the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is not much better.

Gui Qiu was the most clever, listened to Gui Chongyang's words, glanced at Li He, didn't ask, instructed the guys to prepare a few vegetarian dishes, and asked Li He: "What do you like to eat?" Even if you come, don't go outside, our family has nothing else, a few kinds of braised meat are the best, there are pig's head meat, braised eggs, and now there are braised chicken legs! ”

Guiqiu is experienced, and when he sees people, he laughs at three points, and his words are also warm; Li He had never been so enthusiastic, his head was hanging down on the table, his ears were red, and he muttered words.

Gui Qiu only came to the town this year, and he was also in Mujia Village before, so he naturally heard the gossip of the second boy of the Li family, "sissy" and "second chair", but he didn't deal with it and didn't pay attention to it, but now he watched it and understood that the villagers were not chewing their tongues in vain, and this Li He's speech and behavior were too much like a big girl.

Gui Chongyang was afraid of Li He's embarrassment, and said: "It is said that Master Zhou's braised pork is a must, last time my cousin came to eat pork tongue the most, you can give it to Second Brother Li to taste, Second Brother cut a plate of that, and you can serve two more chicken legs." ”

Gui Qiu nodded and said yes, went to the door and told the guy to go.

When the braised pork and vegetarian dishes came up, Li He ate very shyly, but the chopsticks stretched out two more chopsticks on the pig's tongue, which was obviously the right appetite.

Seeing this, Gui Chongyang gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

No matter what the Li family is, Li He is indeed not a bad person, and Gui Chongyang also understands the correct way to deal with Li He, that is, not to be a neighbor's little brother, but only a neighbor's little sister, everything will be fine.

After lunch, the three of them left Barilla and went to Gui Wu's house.

A small servant opened the door, and saw that the two nephews and young masters were here, not outsiders, so they directly welcomed in. Although Li He is a face student, he may have been brought to the house by two nephews and young masters, so naturally he is not an outsider.

Sure enough, when he saw his two nephews coming, Gui Wu had a smile on his face, but when he saw Li He, his smile froze.

When the Gui family's old house was rebuilt, Gui Wuchang was over there, and he also met with the Li family next door, so he naturally recognized Li He.

Li He followed behind the Gui brothers, not daring to look up, he didn't see Gui Wu's strange appearance, but Gui Chongyang and Gui Qiu did.

Gui Chongyang's heart moved, and he said, "Fifth uncle, let's talk in the study." ”

At this moment, Gui Wu's face had already turned, and he nodded: "Okay, go to the study to eat tea and talk!" After that, he instructed the little guy to say: "Go and tell grandma, your second brother Qiu and Brother Chongyang are here, and you also brought the brother of the Li family, a neighbor in your hometown, and let your grandma pack up some fruits and send them to the study." ”

The little guy answered, and went to pass the word without mentioning it.

Gui Qiu was beside him, and he only felt weird.

There is a difference between the elder and the young, shouldn't it be that their brother took Li He to see the elder of the Jiang family first? Every time Chongyang came over before, he also went to see the Jiang family first, how could it be different this time?

This time, there is one more Li He.

Gui Qiu's eyes fell on Li He, but he couldn't understand what Li He had to be afraid of.

If you want to say that there is a difference between men and women, but Li He is only fourteen years old and has not yet become a child, where is there so much attention? Besides, if Li He really wants to be a foreign man, it is not easy to meet, then why not let the Jiang family come out to deliver fruits?

Gui Qiu couldn't figure it out, so he simply threw it aside.

Gui Chongyang understood that Gui Wu's arrangement was not for the Jiang family to avoid Li He, but for those who needed to be avoided in the upper room, and they could not meet Li He, so they arranged for everyone to talk in the study.

Gui Chongyang glanced at the upper room.

Li Tao'er, no, it's Sister Jiang Ping now, I don't know how.
