Chapter 73: Good Day

It was a naturally good day and everyone was in a really good mood!

That day was a good day for Mei Renhou to marry Wang Shuping, that is, Mrs. Mei in the future.

As soon as the team of relatives went on the road, the earth dogs bit up, this thing was excited, and the sound of suona was not dispersed in the forty-mile long line from Xiaowangzhuang to Yixian. They may have smelled the smell of meat in the burden.

The descendants have inexhaustible strength, but by the reason of the barking of the dog, they also learn to be lazy, always slow down, and shout that the dowry such as the chest, bedding, brazier stand, solitary stool, pillow box, and mirror they carry on their backs is too heavy, and they are tired.

"It's time to rest!" Just rest. The sister-in-law who was the companion couldn't say anything, so she embarrassed the second fool at the head of the sedan chair, and the second fool shouted: "The world is not peaceful, and I am afraid that there will be bandits on the mountain road."

The descendants seemed to have eaten the gall of a leopard, and said bravely, what are the bandits afraid of? Unafraid.

The descendants pulled out the wooden poles on the shelter near the hermitage where the crops were tended in autumn and shouted at the dogs. The earth dogs are not one or two, there are joiners in every fork, and they are becoming more and more crazy in the loud suona sound.

Some of the jumping bodies make arches in the air, or raise their legs to pee in public. There may even be a pair of tails and tails that have been in one place for a long time.

So some descendants shouted: "Sao dog!" Sassy dog!" shouted the dog, but his eyes looked at the two fools and the people they carried one after the other.

The second fool's face also turned red and his steps stopped. But he didn't put down the sedan chair.

Although the second fool was stupid, he knew the rules and said angrily: "The shopkeeper will not let you go." ”

"Of course we don't look like two fools." The descendants said, "We carry dead things, and the more we carry them, the heavier they become." Second, fools have the ability, you can go happily alone. ”

The face of the second fool is already a coal: he said, "Make evil, make evil".

The second fool understands that these descendants are by no means lazy riffraff, and in the past, they all trotted all the way back to catch up with their relatives, and they loved the good cigarettes and drinks that had been prepared earlier, and today it was all for the woman he was carrying.

This woman is the eldest lady of the Wang family in the county, who has just turned sixteen, and her father is in charge and married Mei Renhou of Xiaowangzhuang.

At that time, the Mei family was already very wealthy, and they opened a soju pot and used cheap sorghum as raw materials to brew high-quality liquor, which was famous for a hundred miles.

Xiaowangzhuang is low-lying, often flooded in autumn, sorghum stalks are widely planted to prevent waterlogging, and the yield is bumper every year. The Mei family used cheap raw materials to make a profit by making wine, and they became rich.

At that time, many families were eager to marry the Mei family, but the daughter of the Wang family was able to marry Shan Bianlang, but in the eyes of the Wang family, she was married, and the reason for this was explained in detail later.

Mei Renhou's father was a dry little old man with a withered pigtail on the back of his head. His house was full of money, but he was dressed in tattered clothes, and he often tied a straw rope around his waist.

Wang Shuping married into the Mei family, in fact, it is also the will of God.

That day, she played a joke game with some big girls with pointed feet and long pigtails next to the swing frame, it was the Qingming Festival, peach and willow green, drizzle, and peach blossoms.

Wang Shuping is slender, wearing a floral cloth gown, green satin pants, and crimson ribbons around her feet and neck. Due to the light rain, she wore a pair of embroidered oil shoes that had been soaked in tung oil a dozen times, and walked away with a clan.

Wang Shuping had a big shiny braid hanging from the back of her head, and a heavy gold lock around her neck.

Wang Shuping was naturally willful and did not wrap her little feet. At the age of sixteen, she was already plump and beautiful, waving her arms and twisting her waist when she walked, like a willow fluttering in the wind.

Mei Renhou's father, who went around the county that day, took a fancy to her at a glance from the many flowers. Three months later, a sedan chair carried her away.

When a string of firecrackers sounded, the old man of the Wang family pinched a cigarette to welcome the descendants of Xiao Wangzhuang to eat and drink in the hall. When the descendants caught a glimpse of a woman sitting on the earthen kang in the back room, they did not giggle at all, because the woman was born very beautiful and they had never seen before.

They immediately felt that they had come here to receive their relatives not because of the Mei family's wages, but as a gift and reward. This woman is also cute when she cries. Her mother and her maid persuaded her, took her hand off, reapplied the powder to her face, dipped the comb in sesame oil, and combed her hair again.

The second fool saw her crooked on the edge of the kang. One leg is bent under the hips, the other leg is diagonally across the kang board, and the embroidered shoes are about to take off and show the posture of the heel. At that moment. He felt that this woman should marry into a rich family to enjoy happiness, and should be carried in a sedan chair. But it's a pity that the mountain is high and the ravine is big, so you can only take a small sedan chair carried by two people.

Wang Shuping sat in the suffocating flower bridge, dizzy. The red cloth covering her head covered her eyes, and there was a strong musty smell on the red cloth.

She raised her hand and lifted the red cloth, and her grandmother had told her not to remove the red cloth on her head. A heavy skein gold bracelet slid onto her forearm, and she looked at the serpentine pattern on the bracelet, and her heart was in turmoil.

A warm smoky wind blows the verdant sorghum on both sides of the narrow dirt road. The sound of pigeons cooing in the sorghum fields can be heard. The freshly showcased silver-gray ears of sorghum are flying with light pollen.

On the sedan curtain facing her, embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, the red cloth on the sedan curtain has been dimmed because the sedan chair has been rented out for many years, and there is a large oil stain in the middle.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sun is luxuriant, the light movement of the sedan chair drivers makes the sedan chair tremble, the raw cowhide that ties the sedan chair rod squeaks, the sedan curtain gently lifts, and the wisps of light and the wisps of cooler wind flash into the sedan chair.

Wang Shuping was sweating profusely, her heart was beating like a drum, listening to the even footsteps and heavy wheezing of the palanquins, and her mind alternated between the smooth cold of pebbles and the rough and burning heat of peppers.

The second fool usually makes a living from geldings, but he has an even physique, has great strength, and works as a sedan chair driver in his spare time. In the past ten years, he has carried dozens of brides, and he knows the weight and lightness, fat and thinness, handsome and ugly, fragrant and smelly daughters-in-law of Xiaowangzhuang, but he has never carried such a wonderful woman.

The people of the Wang family smeared cinnabar red water on his face, and he realized that it was time for him to go out. I regretted it all the way, and I couldn't see the people in the sedan chair, but the people in the sedan chair could look at him so closely, how could I be snickering at his stupid appearance at that time?

It was this woman who was carried by him, and the descendants who were carrying the dowry in the back, they could go to the edge of the sky without resting until they died, and he did not feel tired.

On the way to pick up relatives, although the bride is a member of the Wang family, but not the real Wang family, their jokes are not exaggerated, if once they enter the Wang family, this woman will not be easy to see. The descendants are like this, can he still touch her so closely? So the second fool rested his backpack against the stone.

The August sun was very bright, the wind was blowing on the mountain road, and the birds in front of the wind were wrinkling and chirping, and the second fool felt that everything was beautiful, and for the first time in his life he liked the undulating mountains in front of him and the rope-like paths on the top of the mountains.

If there is a spacious official road, or a colored horse is ridden, the second fool is at most the one who carries the dowry. The second fool almost sang it, but with one mouth, he grinned with white teeth.

Sister-in-law Sun looked at him anxiously when she approached, turned around and opened the brass lock of the accompanying box, and took out the walnuts and dates inside to distribute to the younger generations.

These foods were originally intended to be eaten by the bride on the road, but usually the bride did it herself, and now it is entertained by the bride maid, and everyone knows what she means: "It's not early!"

"I can't enter the cave room by mistake", and the younger students played tricks: "Look at how good the weather is!"
