Chapter 20: It's useless for you to shout at your throat
It has to be said that the dowry for marrying a daughter in the Ming Dynasty was much heavier than the dowry given by the husband's family, so in the Ming Dynasty, if a family had too many daughters, just buying a dowry would bankrupt a wealthy family.
However, the dowry is heavy and the husband's family takes advantage of it, the dowry ownership belongs to the woman, and the woman can go back with the dowry if she is divorced or remarried in the future. Wang Dalun sighed, in the future, those delicate women who did not have a house and a car and did not marry came to the Ming Dynasty, and they probably didn't dare to mention it!
When the team came to Zhuangkou, Wu Liang had already ordered people to wait, and immediately sounded firecrackers, and in the sound of firecrackers, the team came to the gate of the palace.
I saw that a brazier had been placed at the door, and after the bride got off the sedan chair and crossed the brazier, she was carried into the new house by Wang Dalun. Wang Dalun put Fang Wen'er on the bed and said to her, "You can rest first, and I'll go to greet the guests." With that, he went out of the room.
Wang Dalun stood at the door and began his work of picking up customers (which seems to sound very ambiguous), and when each guest arrived, he thanked him and asked Butler Wu to arrange a seat.
With the arrival of the guests one after another, people who made Wang Dalun unexpected appeared, only to see Zhao Zhigao holding up his oily belly, rushing to Wang Dalun with agility, with a smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "Congratulations!" Congratulations! Congratulations on today's wedding! β
"Zhao Yuanwai, why are you here?" Wang Dalun asked in surprise.
"Before being an elder brother, I ate lard and blinded my heart, so please forgive my brother regardless of the villain. Brother Xian is getting married today, and he is a little bit of a gift for his brother, please don't dislike it! Zhao Zhigao said with a smile on his face, and handed the gift slip in his hand to Wu Liang on the side.
When Wang Dalun saw it, it was not easy to say anything, people came to congratulate you on your big day, and you are not easy to provoke. But this girl is really thick-skinned, she is almost fifty years old, who is a brother with you, am I that old? Wang Dalun scolded secretly.
Wu Liang looked at the gift list and said in surprise: "Zhao, Zhao Yuanwai, are you sure you didn't write the wrong gift list?" β
Zhao Zhigao said: "A little courtesy, not a respect, today I am here to make amends." β
Wang Dalun was also curious, took the gift sheet and looked at it, only to see that it was written with fifty taels of silver and one hundred acres of land. What kind of thin gift is this, it is a super generous gift, which is almost 150,000 yuan.
Wang Dalun hurriedly excused himself, and Zhao Zhigao said: "If you don't accept it, then you don't forgive me, do you want my brother to bear the guilt?" β
Wang Dalun had no choice but to accept it and warmly invited Zhao Zhigao to dine.
Zhao Zhigao's behavior seems to be just the beginning, and some landlords who usually don't get along with each other have come one after another, all of whom have a lot of congratulatory gifts.
And the pinnacle of the matter was Yao Shuming's arrival, I saw Yao Shuming bring more than a dozen people, holding large bags and small bags of congratulatory gifts, and when he saw Wang Dalun, he affectionately took Wang Dalun's hand and praised Wang Dalun loudly.
Speaking of emotion, he wiped two tears, recalled the past of Wang Dalun's father, and sighed again and again that if his old man was alive, how good it would be to see Wang Dalun so promising.
"Sure enough, he is a person who is more powerful than Zhao Zhigao, look at his acting skills, he is about to become an actor!" Wang Dalun said secretly in his heart.
And when Yao Shuming handed over the gift list, the audience was shocked, it was really a big deal, not counting all kinds of congratulatory gifts, there were one hundred taels of silver and two hundred acres of land.
Everyone looked at Wang Dalun, and a sentence came out in their hearts, the Wang family has begun to develop!
With the idea of settling with Wang Dalun, the guests were very enthusiastic and pulled Wang Dalun to drink
So Wang Dalun drank high, drunk so lightheaded, he couldn't walk steadily, when the last group of guests were sent away, it was dark in the morning, Wang Dalun refused the idea of others to help him go back, and walked back to the bedroom crookedly.
When Wang Dalun walked into the bedroom, he found Fang Wen'er sitting on the bed, while the two maids and healthy women were sitting on the side, pulling Fang Wen'er to chat. It seems that they have completely implemented Fang Wenjin's instructions and strictly guarded to the end.
"Uncle!" Seeing Wang Dalun come in, the four of them got up and saluted.
"Well, everyone has worked hard today, go and rest!" Wang Dalun commanded.
"Uncle, let Chunya and Lan Xin stay and serve you, right?" One of the women said.
"No, today is my big day, how are you having sex with us?" Wang Dalun hurriedly refused.
"But..." The four of them are in a dilemma, what should they do with Fang Wenjin's instructions?
"Don't do it, let's go, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, don't delay my good deeds. Besides, with me, what can happen! Wang Dalun pushed them out of the way, and then closed the door.
Wang Dalun turned to look at Fang Wen'er, who put down the hijab again, burped, and said with a smile: "Lady, I'll lift the hijab for you!" After that, he was about to lift his hijab, but he fell short.
"Lady, are you still playing peek-a-boo with me? Look how I lift your hijab. Hahaha, lift your hijab and let me see your eyebrows..." At the end, Wang Dalun hummed proudly.
Wang Dalun was drunk because of drunkenness, coupled with Fang Wen'er's dodging, he pounced several times, and after the worst, Wang Dalun was ruthless, hugged Fang Wen'er, forcibly lifted the hijab, and said with a smug smile: "Finally let me catch it, right?" Ha Lu Ha! β
"Let go of me!" Fang Wen'er shouted, and then was smoked by the wine in Wang Dalun's mouth, fanned in disgust, covered her nose and said, "You won't drink less, it stinks to death." β
Wang Dalun said with a smile: "There are too many guests here today, and I drank too much unconsciously." β
Fang Wen'er struggled out, far away from Wang Dalun, afraid of the smell of wine in his mouth.
"Hehe, what are you doing so close? Am I a tiger? Wang Dalun leaned over again with a shy face.
"Stay away from me! Smells of alcohol all over his body, and he sings such a nasty song! You're just a rude rascal! Fang Wen'er scolded.
"Me, rascal? Also, the song I sang just now is nasty? Wang Dalun felt that he was really more wronged than Dou E, and the good folk song turned out to be an obscene song. And a person who is so honest himself has turned into a hooligan.
"Yes, it's a hooligan, nasty, rude!" Fang Wen'er said angrily.
"Good, good, good! Whatever you say, I'm sleepy, let's rest! "It's really hard to argue with a woman, Wang Dalun decided not to entangle with Fang Wen'er, and prepared for the Spring Festival.
"What do you want to do?" Fang Wen'er was nervous.
"What can you do? You say that on the wedding night, what else can you do if you don't do what you do with love? Wang Dalun asked rhetorically.
"You, you, don't come here, I'm going to shout!" Fang Wen'er said scaredly.
"You shouted, you shouted and cut your throat and ignored you! Don't forget, you are now my daughter-in-law, who will take care of the two cave houses of the husband and wife? Wang Dalun said proudly, almost without the classic laughter of the star master.
"Who is husband and wife with you!" Fang Wen'er said angrily.
"Of course it's you, don't forget, you're married to me, and we've been in the church. By the way, it's time to hand over a glass of wine, drink this glass, let's start the cave room! Wang Dalun poured a glass of wine and handed it to Fang Wen'er.
"Who drinks with you, dream! Miss me as your daughter-in-law, unless I'm dead! Fang Wen'er pushed away the wine glass and said angrily.
"You are now my daughter-in-law, this is a fact that cannot be changed. Now people call you, not some damn Xu Fang, but Wang Fang, you know? Also, it's casual for you to die, but I remind you that after you die, the tombstone is still engraved with Wang Fang's family! Wang Dalun said loudly.
"Also, I wonder what books you've read? Have you read the book "The Female Commandment"? What does the above say? You should understand the saying that you follow your father at home and follow your husband when you marry, right? Wang Dalun said sarcastically.
"From today on, you are the woman of my Wang family, and the daughter-in-law of my Wang Dalun, this is a fact that you can't change, if you still think about your former fiancΓ©, then you are the real unchaste person, and your reputation is the real stinker!" Wang Dalun continued to strike mercilessly.
"No, I'm not an unchaste woman! God, why are you doing that to me! Fang Wen'er listened to Wang Dalun's words, and for a while she was sad, lying on the table and crying bitterly.
Wang Dalun looked at Fang Wen'er in pain, and his heart softened suddenly, he walked to Fang Wen'er's side, patted Fang Wen'er's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't cry, I said something serious just now, don't worry." Come, wipe your tears! β
After Fang Wen'er wiped away her tears, Wang Dalun sat opposite Fang Wen'er and said, "The two of us got married today, and we don't have any in-depth understanding. I know that you have grievances and dissatisfaction in your heart, right? Let's sit down and have a good conversation, shall we? β
Fang Wen'er stopped crying and looked at Wang Dalun.
"I know that you are very dissatisfied now, to me, and to your father! I can understand that, and honestly, from your point of view, I might do the same. Wang Dalun said slowly: "But, have you considered it from your father's point of view?" β
"What to consider? My father is just afraid of being implicated and losing his official position! Fang Wen'er said angrily.
"Nope! You don't understand your father's hard work, he is afraid that you will endure hardship, you are used to living the life of a young lady, can you really live a life of coarse tea and light food? Wang Dalun asked.
"What's not to do? If others are doing it, why can't I get by? Fang Wen'er replied.
"Hehe, don't take it for granted, you may feel good if you eat coarse tea and light rice occasionally, but you can stand eating it every day, every year? And do you know how to cook? Do you know how to do laundry? Also, do you know how to farm? Wang Dalun asked in a series of questions.
"Imagine working in the fields when the sun is blazing. When you get home, you want to take a breather, but you can't, because you still have to cook and do laundry. β
Wang Dalun described the hardships of the poor life to Fang Wen'er.
"In winter, when the river freezes, you, as the housewife of the house, have to brave the cold and wash your clothes in the cold water, and the ice water freezes your hands red! Slowly, your hands start to get rough and your face starts to wrinkle..."
