Family affairs
At this time, I heard Qiao Liu's voice coming from the door leisurely: "Eldest sister. You just said that. I've heard everything."
Qiao Yi and Qiao Li just looked at each other and smiled when they heard this. The two of them held hands and walked down the steps to look at the dowry. Leaving only Qiao Liu, who was covered with resentment, continued to complain alone.
Time always runs out very quickly. The three-room family was nervous, nervous, and the last night was over. Qiao Li was sitting at the head of the bed in a red wedding dress at this time. The style of her wedding dress is not too cumbersome. It's just a red pole. The cuffs and neckline are very delicate. Wearing a red gold flower crown. The face that has been rubbed with some fat powder is even more beautiful. She was a little nervous at the moment and grabbed Qiao Yan's hand next to her. Qiao Yi also felt Qiao Li's nervousness. Whispering in her ear incessantly.
Xiao Si took leave from Mr. yesterday. At this time, he was lying on the edge of the bed in a red coat, staring at Qiao Li tightly. I couldn't stop whispering to Qiao Li. The reluctance on his face is unmistakable. Qiao Li, who watched it, was about to cry again. Qiao Yi had no choice but to hurriedly stop it. Straight to say that it will cry and spend makeup. Repeated persuasion finally made Qiao Li stop her tears.
It's getting darker yet. The light was already a little intense into the room. It took another moment to see Qiao Liu running in. also shouted with his eyebrows fluttering: "Eldest sister. Third sister. The bridegroom is coming, the bridegroom is coming."
Qiao Li immediately looked at Qiao Yi on her side. Nervously holding his breath. Took a deep breath. Xi Po on the side immediately picked up a piece of red hijab next to her and put it on Qiao Li's head. This red hijab is embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. The tassels that fell just covered Qiao Li's face.
Xi Po stretched out her hand and grabbed Qiao Li and walked out. Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu followed silently behind. I didn't see it until I got out of the room. There are already a lot of people gathered around the three-room door. Many people were sticking their heads out to look at Qiao Li. But the bright red team is still very eye-catching. Xiao Chi is standing in front of the door in a red wedding dress. With a smile on her face, she looked at Qiao Li who was walking towards him step by step.
The people around me have been whispering. The villagers around kept discussing. Qiao Li just passively walked forward slowly step by step. In the end, Xi Po carefully sent her into the sedan chair. Xiao Chi then withdrew his gaze. Immediately stepped forward and saluted the three rooms and one cadre standing by the door. While saying, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law. I've got the wagon ready. Please take Liu'er and them into the car."
Qiao Cheng and Zhang nodded. Under the leadership of Xiao Chi, he got into the carriage parked aside. The carriage is spacious, clean and comfortable. Riding in a rickety carriage. The group rushed to the county seat. Qiao Yi held Xiao Si's hand tightly. Somehow I was at a loss. The future is unknown to everything. Listening to Qiao Liu's babbling words beside him. I still can't help but wander up.
The carriage staggered for a while before reaching the county seat. At this time, the group stopped in front of Xiao Chi's house. Qiao Cheng and Zhang got out of the car with a group of family members. Xi Po let Xiao Chi lower the sedan chair to kick the sedan door. Pulling Qiao Li across the brazier before finally entering the house.
Xiao Chi's parents died young. So Gao Tang is naturally done by Qiao Cheng and Zhang. Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu pulled Xiao Si to the front of the crowd, watching Qiao Li and Xiao Chi worship the world. Two worship high halls. Husband and wife worship each other. Sent into the cave room.
All around are the voices of cheers and blessings. The three of them were eerily silent. Slowly walked to the side of Zhang, who was crying excitedly. Tears fell for a while. Until a while later. Zhao wiped his tears and said, "Okay, don't cry. It's a day of great joy. Why are you crying? It's not good. Quickly wipe away all your tears. I'm afraid those relatives will be back soon."
Qiao Yan and Qiao Liu nodded obediently. Reached out and wiped away tears. Zhang patted their hands and whispered, "Mother knows that you are reluctant. I can't bear it. But your sister has found happiness, and we still want to bless us. Be happy for her. All right. A little longer. I'm afraid everyone else is coming, too. Let's pack up too."
The feast here starts in the afternoon. Open until evening. This meal lasted for a very long time. It is to show the joy of the groom's family. Strive for the enjoyment of the guests of honor.
So. The woman's relatives would also arrive at the place where the feast would take place after noon. And the task of the woman's relatives. It's about having a good life for those relatives and friends. Therefore, Qiao Cheng and the Zhao family are now estimated to get up and go to the place where the banquet is. Ten miles of restaurant to go.
Xiao Chi also came out. Rushed to the Ten Mile Restaurant with the three rooms. Qiao Yi somehow remembered the acacia hairpin and the acacia full of trees in the courtyard. And the boy with ink-eyed eyes. Trip. I don't know if I'll see him.
Horse-drawn carriages pass through the bustling commotion. Stopped at the Ten Mile Restaurant. One by one, they got out of the carriage. Xiao Chi led the group into the restaurant. The restaurant is indeed packed. At this time, there was not a single diner in the building. It's just some chefs and guys who are busy. And the restaurant is also obviously dressed up. The red silk fills the interior of the wine with joyful colors.
Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu are children. They don't need anything. So the three of them were sitting at a table at this time. While eating melon and fruit snacks. While looking at the people who were doing the finishing work. Qiao Cheng and Zhao were busy working out the seats for the woman's guests. Xiao Chi just checked the dishes and wine samples again.
Qiao Yi looked at it for a while and turned his head away from interest. said to Qiao Liu, who was full of interest: "You have to remember. You can't go wrong today. Wait until the second room comes. You have to think about it. You can't let Qiao Jin make a fuss. She's a no-brainer. I'm going to make trouble out of temper."
Qiao Liu slightly restrained the smile on his face and said, "I know. Anyway. I still have the means to deal with Qiao Jin. You can rest assured. He has no brains. But I have."
Qiao Yi relieved himself and nodded and looked out the door. Now they were sitting at the table inside. I looked out the door like this, and I couldn't see even a single green leaf. It's just that two pear trees were moved by Xiao Chi ingeniously in the house. At this time, it is full of flowers. It's really beautiful.
Xiao Chi finally got everything right at once. Said to Qiao Cheng and Zhang: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's all arranged. I checked it once. There is no mistake. Do you want to look at it?"
Qiao Cheng shook his head and said, "I've seen you go through it several times. There's nothing wrong with that. So we're just that."
Xiao Chi nodded. said to Qiao Cheng: "I'm afraid it's time too. Do you want to welcome guests now?"
Qiao Cheng smiled and nodded: "You kid has done everything well. So don't ask us. It's about time. Then welcome guests."
Xiao Chi immediately put down the sheet in his hand. I greeted two guys and said they could welcome them. At this time, all the doors of the Ten Mile Restaurant, which only opened the small door, were opened. He took a red candle and lit it at the door. The crackling sound resounded through the street. It shook so much that all the pedestrians swarmed up to find out.
I heard the sound of the cannon that resounded through the sky. Shen Mo, who was sitting in the study, couldn't help but pause with his hand holding the pen. Finally, he put down the pen in his hand and got up to look out the window at the scene behind the high wall.
Zhu Dong, who was standing on the side, glanced up at Shen Mo and said, "Childe. It should be Xiao Chi's firecrackers to welcome guests."
Shen Mo listened to the crackling sound getting farther and farther away, until it disappeared, and then sighed deeply: "Yes. The day came too quickly. Before I knew it, it was today."
Zhu Dong cautiously replied: "Childe. This is also inevitable. Today's Xiao Chi wedding. We'll have to leave tomorrow. It's really not a bit of a delay."
Shen Mo nodded slightly: "Yes. How could I not know that this was inevitable. It's just that the days of the stolen ones always go by very quickly. And to face it will eventually be faced. Those who are reluctant to leave still want to leave."
Shen Mo's hand touched the window juniper. That's a slender hand. The bones are clear and clean and good-looking. It's just that this departure has gone to that point. I don't know how many storms I have to set off helplessly. How many lives have been taken.
Zhu Dong also stepped forward quite sentimentally. Looking at Shen Mo's eyebrows, he whispered, "Childe. This matter is also helpless. You can't help yourself. So you can only get it from others. It's something I've always gotten used to."
"Habit." Shen Mo chuckled. There was a little coldness in his eyes immediately. In a deep voice, he said, "I've never been used to this, and I'm not used to it. I've never been one to tolerate others. This is the last time. He also knew it was the last time I would tolerate it like this. So this time it's really a matter of winning or losing."
Shen Mo closed his eyes. Erase the coldness that is too obvious. Flicked his sleeves and walked out: "Zhudong. You'd better keep up. If it's really late. I'm afraid Xiao Chi will really not give up. After all, today is his wedding. I'd like to have a few drinks with him. It's our farewell. After all. I won't see you tomorrow."
Zhu Dong replied softly. When I turned around, I was about to close the door to the study. But I can't stop wondering why this is the last time you tolerate. And why you still tolerate it this time. You'll be able to get rid of it completely after this time. I know this has always been what you wanted. But now you're so desperate. In order to......
Zhu Dong didn't speculate any further. Because he saw something on Shen Mo's desk through the crack in the door that was about to close. His hand paused. Then he closed the door. He thought. The answer is probably already out. So just smiled. Silently closed the door. silently followed Shen Mo's back.
Only the ink on the desk remains. It was a portrait of Qiao Yi. In the painting, she is dressed in plain clothes and smiles like a flower. Lifelike.
