Qiao Li couldn't help blushing when she heard Zhang mention her marriage to Xiao Chi, but nodded softly, "I know." ”

Zhang nodded and said to Qiao Li: "Tomorrow your father and I will go to the street to buy things for personal use, and we will also buy everything you need, and then you will stay at home and embroider these things as soon as possible, and don't go out again." ”

Qiao Li nodded, and her head was startled by the low hanging that she didn't say a word. Zhang patted the back of his hand lightly, said nothing, and walked out.

Somehow I was infected by Zhang's emotions, this eldest sister who has been washing and cooking at home and tidying up everything properly, is about to get married so soon, and after she gets married, there will be one less person in the family.

Qiao Yi stepped forward, hugged Qiao Li's shoulder, buried his head in her shoulder, and said sullenly: "Eldest sister, I will definitely miss you very much." ”

Now that things are settled, everything must be done in this short period of time, and the rules must be followed. It's just that the customs here are very different from modern times, and Qiao Yi himself has not seen a married daughter set up a banquet for two days, but the party who marries the daughter here does not need to set a table to feast relatives and friends, these are all things that the man has to do.

When the man rides a horse to carry the woman away in a sedan chair, he should be followed by a carriage, which will take the woman's family to the man's place to stay, and only return to his home after the marriage is over, waiting for the daughter to return to the door in three days. After bringing all these people to the man's house, the man will have a banquet for the man's relatives and friends and the woman's relatives and friends.

Therefore, all this should be purchased by Xiao Chi, the woman only needs to make a wedding dress and quilt pillow, prepare the dowry, buy boiled eggs and send them to relatives and friends, and invite them to the banquet, these are fine.

It's just that there are fifteen days to get married, Xiao Chi doesn't know if these rules are known, whether they have been properly arranged, his father wants to come tomorrow to discuss with him, it seems that everything is going to be stepped up.

Early the next morning, sure enough, the Zhang family and Qiao Cheng went out together, leaving only a few girls from the Qiao family at home, Qiao Li was honestly sitting in the house to make clothes for Qiao Nan, Qiao Liu and Qiao Yi couldn't sit still, and the two of them couldn't go far and left the eldest sister at home alone, so they sat in the yard with Lin Yi to play.

Lin Yi felt very strange about Qiao Li, who was not going out now, and kept pulling Qiao Yi and asked, "Sister Gardenia, why doesn't Sister Li'er come out to play, why does she keep sitting in the house and sewing clothes?" ”

Qiao Yi smiled and pinched his fleshy little face and said, "That's because Sister Li'er is engaged, and she will be married soon, so she can't show her face outside now, so she can only stay in the house and make clothes." ”

Lin Yi felt very surprised, his eyes widened and asked, "Marriage?" Sister Li'er is getting married? With whom? ”

Qiao Liu listened to Lin Yi's words and pouted: "Won't it?" My dad said yesterday that he was going to tell your family today, so he didn't tell you because he left early this morning, but he will tell you when they come back. "Qiao Cheng and the Zhang family said yesterday that they would talk to the Lin family about the marriage today, but they may have left early today, and they will probably go when they come back.

Qiao Yi pulled Lin Yi over and whispered to him, "Xiao Yi! Your father and mother don't know yet, so we told you first, can you not tell them yet, and when my father comes back, I will tell them in person? ”

Lin Yi glanced at Qiao Yi puzzled: "Yes, it's just, Sister Gardenia, why can't I say that I have to wait for Uncle Qiao to come back?" ”

Qiao Yan smiled and rubbed his furry little head and said: "Because this family affair is a big deal, I have to go to your house to say it in order to show our family's respect for your family, if you are a child who runs to say that he leaks, it means that our family does not respect your family, or even insults your family." ”

Lin Yi nodded as if he didn't understand, sure enough, at noon, Qiao Cheng and Zhang's came back, the two of them brought a lot of things, this time it was the same carriage that sent the two to the front of the house, and the coachman also ran several times to help bring the things into the house, Qiao Cheng and Zhang hurriedly poured him a glass of water, and the man drank the water and drove away.

And Zhang and Qiao Cheng were smiling at the things all over the ground, Qiao Cheng immediately went to Lin's house with a bag of pastries, Lin Yi just ran home at this time, and was lying in front of the kitchen door to watch his mother cook, Qiao Cheng was greeted by Uncle Lin as soon as he came in, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin understood when they saw the pastries wrapped in red cloth, and they said that they would definitely go that day.

After saying goodbye to Qiao Cheng, Uncle Lin smiled and said to Aunt Lin: "This pear is a good girl, and I don't know which young man is so blessed." ”

Aunt Lin also smiled and nodded: "That's right, a few girls from the Qiao family are fine, but we haven't been here for a long time, and we are not familiar with the people here, I don't know which young man it is, I don't know if I can be worthy of Pear?" ”

At this time, Lin Yi, who was silently eating pastries, suddenly opened his mouth: "I know that it is Brother Xiao who is engaged to Sister Li'er." ”

Uncle Lin asked with some confusion: "Which Brother Xiao, I heard you call so kindly." ”

Lin Yi pursed his mouth unhappily: "It's Brother Xiao Chi Xiao!" I also know such a big brother Xiao. ”

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin glanced at each other, both saw surprise in each other's eyes, and Aunt Lin immediately took Lin Yi's little hand and asked, "Are you sure?" How do you know? ”

Lin Yi said that it was very unhappy to be disturbed to eat, but he still said in a muffled voice: "It was Sister Gardenia who told me, she said that they and Brother Xiao have been friends since childhood, however, Sister Gardenia didn't let me tell you that I knew Sister Li'er was going to get married, she said that Uncle Qiao would say it in person, otherwise it would be disrespectful to you, and now Uncle Qiao is here, then I can say it!" ”

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin nodded after listening to Lin Yi's words, and couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Chi is a good boy, and he is very compatible with Li'er, this is a good family business." In addition, Uncle Lin said to Lin Yi: "Your sister Gardenia is right, you fortunately listened to her words and didn't say it, but you still shouldn't eat so many pastries, and you have to eat later!" ”

After speaking, regardless of Lin Yi's frowning little brows and looking unhappy, he took away the pastries placed in front of him, and put them in a place that Lin Yi couldn't reach while eating. I kept muttering in my heart: Xiaoxian, I can't cure you anymore, listening to the words of the gardenia girl like this, I haven't said a word ten times and it doesn't work for her once, you kid!

Let's not ask for Lin Yi's psychological shadow area for the time being, Qiao Cheng returned home, Zhang had already taken out the wedding dress, and said helplessly: "Xiao Chi is heart, everything has been arranged, even this wedding dress is made from Miaoyi Fang, and now even the wedding dress is saved, and. Zhang took out another package and opened it gently, there were a few ready-to-wear clothes inside, Zhang said: "He bought all the clothes we were going to wear on the day we got married, and they were all clothes from Miaoyifang." ”

Even Qiao Liu and Qiao Yi felt helpless now, this is too worry-free, he really has everything! Zhang Shi took out a basket of eggs and said to Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu, "Let's start boiling eggs in sugar water now!" Qiao Liu and Qiao Yan nodded.

Qiao Yi immediately went to light the fire, Qiao Liu poured water neatly, added brown sugar and began to boil eggs. Boiling eggs is not a slow job, one basket of eggs and two pots are boiled. The eggs should be sent half a month before getting married, and tell relatives and friends to go to the banquet, Zhang said while loading the eggs: "Gardenia Liu'er, this egg is waiting for you to send it!" ”

Qiao Yan nodded, and the eggs were usually sent to unmarried girls in their own families, so it was natural that this job fell on Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu. Zhang put the eggs in the basket and said: "Remember to tell the date clearly, it is the seventh day of the next month, and the venue of the banquet is ......" Zhang hesitated a little before saying: "In the Ten Mile Restaurant." ”

This time, Qiao Yan also froze, ten miles, ten miles. Qiao Yi sighed and nodded slightly: "Well, I know." Qiao Liu glanced at Qiao Yan suspiciously, and nodded: "I know." ”

The two of them immediately put the eggs on their backs and went separately to deliver them. Generally, the daughters are invited to the banquet by relatives and friends, and ordinary villagers do not have to go. So just pick up relatives and friends, Qiao Yi was the first to go to the Lin family, Uncle Lin immediately greeted the door, Qiao Yi smiled and said to this Uncle Lin: "Uncle Lin, my eldest sister's family affairs have been booked, on the seventh day of the next month, the banquet will be held in Shili Restaurant, you must go!" ”

Uncle Lin smiled and nodded: "Of course, our family must go." Qiao Yi nodded with a smile and took an egg and stuffed it into the hand of Lin Yi, who had been blinking at him with sparkling eyes, touched his head and said, "Xiao Yi, this is a sugar water egg, it's sweet, give it to you." ”

Lin Yixiao's eyes crooked to accept the egg, and said sweetly to Qiao Yi, "Thank you, Sister Gardenia." Qiao Yi couldn't help but say goodbye to the Lin family with a smile: "Aunt Lin, then I'll go first." As he spoke, he waved his hand to Uncle Lin and ran out. Uncle Lin looked at Qiao Yan's back and nodded: "Okay, it's really good, on the seventh day of the first month of next month, you must prepare a big gift." ”

As soon as Uncle Lin turned around after speaking, he saw that the sugar water egg had been wiped out by Lin Yi, and his mouth was full of scum. Uncle Lin snorted helplessly: "Hmph, you stinky boy, you move quite fast!" ”
