Chapter 0172 - Looks Glorious
Hearing this, Zhou Lianye looked unhappy, looked at Shen Dazhu and said, "You, when will you be sober, such a good daughter-in-law, I have had enough of grievances for you." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Seeing her like this, Shen Dazhu understood what was going on more in his heart, and he smiled and didn't refute it at the moment.
Zhou Lianye didn't dare to continue counting, snorted, turned around and went home, because she couldn't receive his news, she couldn't help but sigh outside the house, but unfortunately her mother came out of the house and said, "Where did you go and didn't look at your brother, so that your grandmother suffered." ”
"I'm not feeling well." Zhou Lianye ran into the house unhappily.
After a while, Mrs. Zhou said, "This child, I see that she has a sad face these days, don't be sick."
Song said, "She has no illness, but because she hasn't gone out for the past few days, she is bored." ”
Mrs. Zhou said, "It's not good to be at home all the time, Ming'er Granny Jin hangs a plaque, the village must be lively, let her go and see." ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to discuss the matter, Zhou Lianye quietly walked out, listened for a while, and said that the village will be lively tomorrow, as long as he knows, he will definitely come back, and then take advantage of the chaos of the crowd, hoping to meet him and say a few words.
It's just that he has a bitter stomach, and he can't finish it in a few words, Zhou Lianye thought about it, slipped back into his room, wrote a letter seriously, folded it into a small piece, and put it in the innermost pocket.
The next day, many people from outside the village came to see the plaque at Granny Kim's house. At first, Zhou Lianye pretended to be lazy to go out and walk around, but after repeated urging by her mother, she reluctantly changed into a new dress and walked to the Jin family with her younger brother.
As soon as I went out, I met Sister-in-law Feng next door, leading a female guest from another village, and also went over there.
On the way, the female guest asked about Granny Jin's deeds, and Sister-in-law Feng told about it.
"Granny Kim was a widow from the beginning, and when she was fifteen years old, her husband died here. At that time, Second Uncle Jin was only seventeen years old, and he was originally scheduled to marry Granny Jin in another year. As soon as the second uncle Jin died, his father Jin Taigong was the only person surnamed Jin in our Shenjia Village, and he was also a learned and sensible talent, so he sent someone to Granny Jin's house to say, saying that this child was too young, and he was a daughter-in-law who had never passed the door, how could he force her to keep the festival This marriage should be withdrawn. ”
"Oh Amitabha, good and good," the female guest praised again and again.
Sister-in-law Feng said, "Isn't it, the next day's birthday was sent over." And Granny Kim's father is also a scholar and is more reasonable. He said that the Jin family is a scholarly family that studies and studies, and my daughter is a member of his family, so how can there be any reason to remarry, not to mention that my family is also a scholarly family, even if the Jin family is willing to remarry the daughter-in-law, my family still doesn't want my daughter to match Erlang. In this way, the person who sent the Geng post was taught a hard lesson, and the man had no choice but to return the Geng post to its original owner. ”
"This is also good, good, Amitabha." The woman said.
Zhou Lianye, who was walking aside, pursed her lips, and said in her heart that this is reasonable, and she simply doesn't treat her daughter as a human being.
The man went back and told the original words, and when Mrs. Jin heard it, he was very happy, and immediately said that as long as the child is willing to come to the door to be widowed, my Jin family will definitely not treat her badly. In this way, when Second Uncle Jin was not yet seven, the Jin family took Granny Jin over. I heard that the prefect was shocked by this incident at that time, and he personally came to congratulate the county lord. ”
"On the day the bride entered the door, I only remember that our Shenjia Village was ten times more lively than during the festival, and there were people everywhere. I remember very well that the bride was wearing a red silk jacket at that time, and the phoenix crown and xia came in a sedan chair, and got off the sedan chair and changed into a white linen skirt.
It seems that a thirteen-year-old sister of the Jin family, holding her brother's spirit tablet and worshipping with her, handed over a glass of wine and sacrificed directly to the ground. Since Granny Jin started to observe the festival, no one in the Jin family dared to say that she didn't say a word. When Mrs. Jin was alive, he repeatedly said that having such a good daughter-in-law would bring glory to our whole family, not only the whole family, but also the whole clan and even the whole village, so even if the Jin family is poor and hungry in the future, she must be fed. ”
"It should be, it should be." The female guest sighed.
There were many such women in the past, but first of all, they were either scholars themselves, or raised a descendant who read, or they belonged to a big family, otherwise, how many poor women who had been widowed all their lives were unknown until death.
This Mother-in-law Jin, the first son of the eldest brother of Second Uncle Jin, passed under her name and studied since she was a child, so she has a dependence. After more than 50 years, I was fortunate to live to be 70 years old, so I have today, if I only live to 69 years old, even if the government posthumously gives the archway, she can't see it.
Zhou Lianye walked with her head down, thinking wildly in her heart, and before she knew it, she arrived at Granny Jin's house.
At this moment, outside the low house, dozens of zhang long mat sheds were built by the villagers, and red, red, green and green colored silk were hung around, and in front of them were the celebration couplets sent by each family.
In the middle of a large red square table, with all kinds of offerings, a pair of red candlesticks, a pair of large candles three feet long, everyone looks happy.
There is also a small black lacquer table behind the offering table, and the table is offered to play the long live card invited from the temple, and the book is long live the current emperor.
There is also a thing covered with yellow satin on the table, which is said to be a holy decree invited from the capital, and a large piece of red felt is spread on the ground to make the big guy kowtow to the holy decree.
In the greenhouse, hundreds of tables and chairs are set up, and only people with status can sit there, and the rest of the people who come to see the excitement can only stand.
A group of drummers were blowing and beating hard, and people were talking loudly. Zhou Lianye took his younger brother's little hand and looked at the several plaques on it, except for the ones sent by the government, the rest were all from the Shen family and the Gu family to participate in the grand event, which was nothing more than a hundred years of longevity, chastity and the like.
As a woman, Granny Kim brought glory to the whole village, so women are allowed to participate today, and young women are especially allowed to enter the side of the shed to watch it up close, which is also regarded as social education in the past, but it can only be separated by a certain distance, and the place where the holy decree is located cannot offend the majesty of heaven.
Zhou Lianye didn't go in, but stood far away under a willow tree, there was no man here, she saw her father from a distance, full of spring breeze, socializing with literati such as Xiucai, while Master Gu was circling among the patriarchs, parents, and squires.
In the past, on similar occasions, Shen Si Ye Shen Jiaji was indispensable, but today he was smiling and accompanying Old Man Shen, but other people kept coming to say hello.
After a lot of commotion, suddenly Shen Dazhu, who was in charge, and a few people ran over with sweat on their heads, shouting, "The county master has arrived, and Zhou Xuezheng has arrived." ”
In an instant, all the people sitting got up and watched the lively people rush out like a tide, and at the same time the gongs and drums sounded more and more vigorously, and three horns were fired outside the village.
In this situation, Zhou Lianye couldn't help but be confused, and secretly said that a woman who lived to this day looked indeed glorious, and it was not in vain that she would suffer for a lifetime. To be continued.
