Chapter 122: I'll Be Good to You in the Future
In the days after Aunt Xi, she was like a fish in water in the village, and whoever she met, as long as she spoke, the topic would definitely be inseparable from her daughter.
"Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, the main day is on the eighth day of the seventh month, but you must come to drink the wedding wine!"
"Aunt Zhao, your granddaughter will definitely marry well, and it must not be worse than my red beans!"
Aunt Xi is very proud in the village, but her daughter's marriage has made her face grow!
Xi Hongdou still collects grain in the ancestral hall, and after Daddy Fang came once, he didn't come again, but Daddy Fang was not idle, and wrote to his wife and children in Kyoto City to ask what the situation was.
As the days passed, Aunt Fang and Fang Dongliang in Kyoto City finally received a letter from their hometown, and when they saw that Xi Hongdou had returned to Xijia Village, they regretted in their hearts, they did not return to their hometown in Kyoto City for a long time just to block Xi Hongdou, but Xi Hongdou went back for several days, of course they couldn't find anyone!
"Mother, let's go back too!" Fang Dongliang said: "Returning to my hometown is just blocking Xi Hongdou. ”
As soon as Aunt Fang counted the days, she asked: "Is that Xi Hongdou's wedding day the eighth day of the seventh month?" It's only been a few days, and when we go back, Xi Hongdou is also getting married, and if it is staggered, it still can't block people. ”
Fang Dongliang nodded: "Then continue to wait?" But it's not a big deal to wait like this, she should be hiding from us! "After all, their family didn't give Xi Hongdou face before, so why should people help them now? Even if it is really blocked, if people don't help, it will be a waste of time and energy.
"You don't understand, she will marry into a big family when the time comes, those big families want to be faced, let's go to find it every day, and bother every day, the matter of buying an official must be a trivial matter in their eyes, and when they are annoyed, they will definitely agree to us, our family has also prepared silver taels, and they will not suffer a loss if they help us!" In Aunt Fang's opinion, just spend money at home, and the Xiao family can get money if they do a favor, how good is this!
Fang Dongliang listened to Aunt Fang's "analysis", and really felt that it was feasible, and the mother and son continued to live in Kyoto City after that, and the money on them could last until Xi Hongdou returned to Kyoto City.
According to custom, you can't meet half a month before marriage, and Xiao Zhi also knows that he can't see Xi Hongdou, but he still thinks that if Xi Hongdou is in Kyoto City, even if he can't see him, he knows that he is close.
Mrs. Xiao took the changed groom's wedding dress and asked Xiao Zhi to try again, and she was very satisfied when she saw her son wearing a red dress, his handsome and upright appearance.
"It's been a long time since our family had a big happy event, it was so unlucky before, but now it's a happy event!" Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, but first on the list, and then married, who else can be more smooth than their Xiao family?
Xiao Zhi looked at himself in the mirror and smiled, now that he looks at it, he seems to have a little elegant temperament, compared with the previous fights, it seems to be much more pleasing to the eye.
Mrs. Xiao also came over at this time, looking at the appearance of her eldest grandson, she sighed that the three generations of the Xiao family have been passed down, and she hopes to hold her great-grandson as soon as possible.
According to the day, Xiao Zhi finally set off to greet his relatives, and there were gongs and drums on the way to play and sing, but this distance was not close, Xiao Zhi pondered that if the sedan chair driver and these people who played and sang all the way to the past, I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with the time, and finally hired a carriage, a sedan chair and a coachman, and a joyful team, the car was an open-air slab, and only a shed to block the rain was supported, and then the carriage ran along the way, and people were blowing and beating gongs, and the wind was absolutely pulling everywhere they went.
But even if the carriage runs, it will take three days at the earliest, and the first day is lively, and when it is close to the gate of Yunzhou, the suona is about to run out......
"Childe, let's rest for a while, save some energy, and when we get to the village tomorrow, we will be lively again......" The coachman said, and after a while, the old and young masters were tired and couldn't blow, and it would be embarrassing to get married.
Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, rest, it's getting dark, just tomorrow morning, as soon as the city gate opens, we will set off to pick up relatives!" ”
A few people found an inn in Yunzhou City to rest, Xiao Zhi has been riding a little tired of riding a high-headed horse these days, and he hurried to sleep when he arrived at the inn, and the next morning, he got up early, put on a red wedding dress and went out of the city gate, all the way to Xijia Village.
Xi Hongdou on the other end was also busy and dizzy, today is the right day, she was so excited that she barely closed her eyes, looking at the shed and staring at the third watch, but before dawn, she was dragged out of the bed by her mother, saying that she was going to prepare.
"It's too early, isn't it?" Xi Hongdou said, I had heard before crossing that the first marriage had to be early, and after twelve o'clock at noon, it would be considered a second marriage, but it would be done before dawn, what was the hurry.
But what her mother said was the holy decree, a good morning busy work, first found the village woman who was in the same hall for four generations and full of children and grandchildren to come and comb her hair, the old woman was too old, and her hands were shaking when she combed her hair, and she was grinning with her red beans, but Aunt Xi asked her to endure it, and she dared to be angry and dare not speak, so she could really only endure it.
After painting the makeup, Xi Hongdou changed into a red wedding dress, and as soon as she wore the phoenix crown on her head, Aunt Xi burst into tears when she saw it.
"Mother, didn't you say that you won't cry on a good day......" Xi Hongdou also wanted to cry, but as soon as her eyes were red, Aunt Xi hurriedly said: "You can't cry, our custom, if a woman in a sedan chair cries, she will always cry in the future!" She doesn't want her daughter to cry every day after she gets married, what kind of broken life does that have to be!
Xi Hongdou hurriedly raised her head and held back her tears, she used to think that these customs were, but now that she has experienced it, these are all yearning for a better life in the future, just be obedient.
Outside the village, Xiao Zhi's kissing team finally arrived, and they could already see the entrance of Xijia Village, so everyone hurriedly made a noise, and as soon as the gongs and drums and suona sounded, they went to the village.
Everyone in the village knows that Xi Hongdou is getting married today, and they all come out to see the excitement at this time, Xiao Zhi's sedan chair is prepared in Kyoto City, the sedan chair is big and new, it is very gorgeous, and the eight big men who carry the sedan chair are also majestic at this time.
Liu Fu took out a burden at this time, and scattered copper coins as he walked, and the people who came to watch around looked at the Xiao family's hand, it was really amazing, and they all followed suit.
Listening to the movements of the joy team, Aunt Xi hurriedly came out to take a look, and when Xiao Zhi came with the sedan chair, she was naturally satisfied, and directly asked Xi Mu to light the cannon battle, and after a crackling, Xiao Zhi came in.
first kowtowed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then toasted his two eldest brothers, and then began to worship the church. Xi Hongdou was finally helped out by the matchmaker at this time, Xiao Zhi saw that his daughter-in-law was immediately his, and the smirk on his face never stopped.
"Hey, this son of the Xiao family is really handsome and chic, a talent!" The onlookers were talking about Xi Hongdou, they were just envious before, but now they are about to blush, no wonder Aunt Xi said how well her daughter married when she met people!
After worshipping the church, Xiao Zhi took Xi Hongdou out of the door and put it in the sedan chair, Aunt Xi knew that her daughter was really going to leave this time, and she could come back during the New Year's holidays before, but now she ...... Marrying as another woman, it is still so far away, and I can't always go back to my parents' house in the future.
Daddy Xi also thinks the same way, his daughter who has been raised for so many years is uncomfortable when he doesn't marry and can't get married, and now he is also uncomfortable when he marries him, just like the cold winter of Layue, someone took away his intimate little padded jacket, and he was quite satisfied with his son-in-law before, but at this time, his heart is still awkward.
Xi Hongdou was put on the sedan chair, and the Xi family put a large string of firecrackers at the gate, and in the sound of firecrackers, the sedan chair gradually carried away from the Xi family, left the Xi family village, and left the place where he had lived with his father and sister-in-law for so long.
When the sedan chair arrived in Yunzhou City, it was the same as when he came, putting the sedan chair on the carriage, Xi Hongdou couldn't clay his feet before he arrived at his mother-in-law's house, and the hijab couldn't be uncovered in advance, Xiao Zhi still held someone for some operation, but Xi Hongdou's shoulders fell a little, Xiao Zhi took Xi Hongdou's hand and said: "Hongdou, don't be afraid, our days will be fine in the future, and I will be good to you." ”
"I know, I'm just a little reluctant to ...... my father's mother" Xi Hongdou's voice was a little listless, although I used to see each other once a year, but I always felt that when I got married, the meaning was different. There is always a kind of meat that she was cut off by her father and mother and sent to another house.
Xiao Zhi comforted: "Although Kyoto City and Hexi Prefecture are not close, if you are homesick, you can come back with the caravan at any time, and I will accompany you back when the time comes." ”
Xi Hongdou nodded, although her mood was complicated, but she will always be her father's child, and this will not change.
On the road for three days, although there were many inconveniences, but finally arrived in Kyoto City, according to the day, the Xiao family also sent an invitation before, Mrs. Xiao waited for the city gate to open early in the morning, and then saw that Xiao Zhi did not delay the day, so she could be relieved.
The old man Xiao of the Xiao family stood at the door, and all the guests who came were invited in, and a small courtyard was specially opened at the back door, so that people from all over the city could come to eat flowing water banquets, from morning to night, even if the beggars came, they were all entertained.
As soon as the firecrackers rang off at the door, Xi Hongdou was finally able to step on the ground, and he was made in a sedan chair on the carriage for several days, and his feet touched the ground, and he felt a little top-heavy.
Xiao Zhi helped Xi Hongdou, and finally arrived at the main hall after breaking the brazier. Although Xi Hongdou covered his head and couldn't see the surroundings, listening to the noisy chats around him, it was estimated that there were a lot of people.
Hu Pingye's guys in the store also came today, full of five tables, they are the women's representatives, others thought that Xi Hongdou's hometown was so far away, and this side is the relatives and friends of the Xiao family, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of people from the woman's mother's side, which was very imposing.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Sister-in-law Hu watched Xi Hongdou enter the door, so she hurriedly let everyone look over.
