Verse 53: The Wedding of Lishi
Lishi, the old bastard, actually has the face to ask for a dowry as much as possible, and said that his small building is too shabby, there is no yard before and after, there is no place to plant grass or raise flowers, and if he has a child in the future, the whole family is crowded in the small building.
Since the nephew is a rich man, then you're welcome, I heard that the nephew has a small yard near the foot of the mountain, which is extremely elegant, and the mountain can be seen when the door is opened, and the Dongyang River flows through the backyard, and there is a special small wharf, which is also empty, so move in, as a new house, and have nothing to do to boating on the river.
Yun Ye was angry and jumped to his feet to find trouble with Lishi, but who knew that he was forced into the house by his aunt and grandmother, and his aunt gave Yun Ye a chest to smooth his breath, for fear of making him angry.
Grandma said casually: "Good grandson, it's just a small mansion, he will give it to him if he wants, a scholar is a master everywhere, a mansion is nothing, and some people rush to give it to him." Grandma knows that you dislike Lishi too old and not worthy of your aunt, but your aunt is willing, Lishi is fifty-nine years old this year, and he is a person who has practiced martial arts, and his body is strong, your aunt suffered too many sins at that time, and she just needs an older person to hurt, listen to grandma, don't mess around, send your aunt out well, this is a good family business. ”
Lishi likes ancient rites, and there is no shortage of three media and six appointments, although there is less money, when he sent a pair of copper bracelets from his family as a dowry gift, Li Gang, Yushan, and Mr. Yuanzhang all said that the etiquette was heavy.
His family has been poor for many generations, and it is not until his generation that he can eat enough, and the farming and reading heirlooms sound good, but in fact they are all blood and tears. The farmer is fortunate to be able to fill his stomach all year round, and he also has to provide for his own children to study, which has not been cut off in the beacon years of the former Sui.
This bronze bracelet is the belongings of Mr. Shi's deceased mother, and he has been in and out of the pawnshop no less than ten times. When there are no meals at home. His mother would send the bracelet to the pawnshop, and then his father would work desperately to redeem it again, after his father died. The heavy task of redeeming the bracelet fell on Lishi's body, and for this bracelet, Lishi spared the cow. has worked as a coolie, and even worked as a bookboy for other people's appointments, it can be said that he has endured all the hardships.
Before her mother died, she took the bracelet off her wrist with her own hands, and did not let Lishi use it as a burial, saying that it was to leave a memory for her future daughter-in-law, so she sent her mother away in a thin coffin, and there was nothing else in the coffin.
Lishi has always regarded this copper bracelet as life and never left his body. often take it out of my arms and wipe it, but no matter how I wipe it, the blood and tears of the whole family can never be wiped away.
On the day of the wedding. Lishi was dressed in the clothes of a farmer. Driving the ox cart, the ox was very thin. There is still scabies on his body, how shabby and shabby it is, several old gentlemen are really so affectionate that Yun Ye is a little furious, they are not good people, such an important wedding scene, you drove a disgusting cow to embarrass the Yun family.
Lishi didn't seem to be able to see Yun Ye's face, and regardless of everyone's surprised looks, he went into the backyard of the Yun family, found the aunt who was full of jewels, grabbed Aunt Yun's hand, brought the bronze bracelet to Aunt Yun, and said to her: "I came from a slightly poor background, and now I can marry you as high."
Door Liangyuan is my blessing, but the Fang family has no long things, only this thing is a gift, my mother once regarded him as my life, my father also regarded him as my life, this thing is also my life, and now I give it to you, I only hope that you and I will never give up, life with the same family, death with the same coffin. ”
Aunt Yun bowed down and cried silently, thanking Lang Jun for his deep friendship, and in Lishi's smile, she also took off all the gold and jade things on her body, only kept the bronze bracelet, washed off the makeup on her face, and only wore her wedding dress embroidered with stitches and threads, and did not take anything away.
In this way, Lishi was hugged by Ge Yishan and put on the ox cart, and the luxurious carriage of the abandoned Yun family was like nothing, and when he left, Lishi said to Yun Ye: "You come to the house in a few days, and I will set up wine and entertainment." After saying that, he sang a song, like a victorious general, and went home triumphantly.
Xin Yue had long been moved to tears, grabbed Yun Ye's clothes and didn't let go, looking at Xin Yue who was crying like a cat, Yun Ye said viciously:
"In half a month, I will learn to leave the stone, and find a broken copper bracelet to marry you, how about it?"
Xin Yue exclaimed: "If it doesn't work, it will be laughed at." ”
"Why doesn't anyone laugh at Lishi, but everyone comes to laugh at the Yun family?"
"Because that's Mr. Lishi, he can do it, you can't do it."
"I saw you crying so much, I thought you liked it too, I was really angry."
Yun Ye was not interested in staying by the door to watch the excitement anymore, so he dragged Xin Yue back to the house, and before he took two steps, he heard Li Gang ask behind him: "Where is the Yun family's wine banquet?" The old man prepared to drink three hundred cups. ”
Yun Ye trembled and began to arrange for the servants of the family to prepare for the banquet, there was no groom, no bride, only a group of old drunkards to celebrate each other, drinking too much and composing poems, doing very long, a lot.
Xin Yue was more angry in the Yun family than in her own family, commanding the large and small stewards and servants of the Yun family, and arranging the guests who came to congratulate her thoughtfully, and was praised by Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Niu in a circle, and her little face was flushed, and she was also very proud.
The guests dispersed, Xin Yue came to deliver food to Yun Ye with a red lacquered wooden plate, and saw that Yun Ye was directing the maid who was serving Aunt Yun to put the jewelry that Aunt Yun had thrown all over the floor into the box and wrap it, so she asked, "Isn't Auntie not wanted?" ”
Yun Ye said angrily: "Who said she didn't want it." ”
"I saw my aunt throw everything away, and I thought she didn't want it."
"You know a fart, when Lishi was leaving, he told me that he was going to buy wine and invite me, which meant urging me to hurry up and send his aunt's things to him as soon as possible, and the maid, the old bastard, not only want fame, but also benefits, come here, let me rely on it for a while, I can't stand it anymore."
As long as Xin Yue is here, the old grandmother will never let the little girl and them come to disturb, and try to leave a space for the two of them, but now there are no strange ideas, it seems that grandma's patience is only ten days.
"Brother Ye, will you say the words that Mr. Lishi said to my aunt, when I think of those words, my heart is sour." Xin Yue lay on Yun Ye's back and watched him eat.
"Of course I will say, a thousand times better than him, if I can marry you home with a broken cow, I promise that when it comes to making you vomit, my heart will be sour."
"Actually, I don't have to do that, I just want people to see, how you love me, I am the happiest woman in the world, and my beloved man uses the best wedding to marry me."
Yun Ye choked up with these words, turned to Xin Yue and said: "You are my wife, this is already a foregone conclusion, God will arrange you for me, I will guarantee your happiness and health for the rest of your life, the man's family will only tell sweet words to his lover, not to his wife, he thinks that there is no need for this, sweet words are widespread, and you really love her by putting your life in the hands of your wife, have you seen how many men bring women outside home, and then divorce their mother-in-law?" ”
"Hmph, that's called spoiling the concubine and killing the wife, and if the government catches it, the concubine will be beaten to death, this is the benefit of the royal law." Xin Yue is a staunch supporter of the Tang Dynasty Marriage Law, and she can't be more familiar with the provisions, she knows Li Anlan's cunning, and she also knows the sunset's cunning, but she is very proud, even if the princess marries, she can only be a concubine, not to mention that from the things she knows, Yun Ye doesn't like the princess so much, which makes her happy for a long time.
As for that sunset, Xin Yue didn't take it to heart, why should a Turkic fight with him, the reason why Yun Ye cared about that sunset was nothing more than for the foundation of the family, so that one day in the future the children would have a place to hide from the war, that sunset would be a concubine, Xin Yue raised her hands and feet in approval.
Other men had children before they got married, and the maid didn't know how much trouble there was, his man had never had a maid in the room, and he was always taken care of by the elders of the family.
He didn't act recklessly before marriage, he didn't even touch the twilight, just waiting to marry himself, as long as he made a comparison, Xin Yue was extremely satisfied, don't look at him always calling to himself, but he is polite to others, just because he is his wife, there is no need to pretend to be a fake appearance to others, so that the days can last long, my mother has already sued me.
"What do you think, saliva is flowing down, I will help grandma sort out the family accounts in a while, I read it yesterday, it's really a mess, grandma is old, these things can't be managed, and they will be handed over to you in the future, her old man should also rest, and enjoy a few days of Qingfu."
Yun Ye's voice, Xin Yue pulled out of her thoughts, suddenly pecked Yun Ye on the face, and ran away in a hurry.
I didn't plan to chase it, my feet still hurt badly, Xin Yue is a very sensible girl, Yun Ye is glad that she chose Xin Yue, otherwise it would be difficult to settle things in the family alone, thinking about Li Anlan's strange temper, I felt a chill in my heart, if I married her, this big family
Is there still a way to live?
Shaking his head and putting these thoughts behind, Yun Ye limped to the front yard, Lao Zhuang's body didn't know what was going on, I don't know if there were scabs in those festering places, his little daughter-in-law was really uneasy, rude, stupid to death, Lao Zhuang just spent a lot of money to marry her for the sake of her good health and easy to give birth to, who knows that there has been no movement for more than a year, I hope Lao Zhuang has not been angry with that mother-in-law to death.
Yun Ye was too worried, when he entered the door, Lao Zhuang was drinking porridge under the service of his mother-in-law, and when he saw Hou Ye coming in, he quickly got up to salute, Yun Ye held Lao Zhuang up, did not let him get up, and motioned to his wife to continue to feed Lao Zhuang.
His wife almost fed the food to Lao Zhuang's nose several times, Yun Ye put too much mental pressure on that mother-in-law, Lao Zhuang smiled ashamedly, stretched out his other intact arm, grabbed the porridge bowl, and poured it down in one bite, so that his mother-in-law was not allowed to come out of the back room.
"Let Master Hou smile, the little family has never seen the world, and he is stupid to do anything, and he can't teach it." Lao Zhuang kept explaining to his mother-in-law.
