Chapter 097 - Crucian Carp (2)
The sedan chair landed, and without waiting for Sanniang to lift the sedan curtain, the groom took the first step, still bending down to hug the bride out of the sedan chair as when welcoming the bride.
I have seen old-fashioned marriages and new-style marriages, but I have never seen the groom directly carry the bride out of the sedan chair on the day of marriage. The Yue family is a big family, and most of the people who came to watch the ceremony were people with heads and faces, and when they saw this scene, they didn't know how to react for a while.
The groom didn't care what others thought at all, and directly carried the bride to the main hall, and gently put the bride down in front of her parents, brothers, sisters and many guests, and helped her straighten her clothes in a half-squat.
The main hall was almost overcrowded, and some people didn't plan to enter the main hall to watch the ceremony, but they saw the behavior of the groom's official at the door, and felt that it was unbelievable and lively to see. As for the relatives of the Yue family, because of the groom's official action, their faces became darker and darker.
"Mu Sheng, you don't have any rules today." Mrs. Yue knew that it was inconvenient for her husband to speak, so she spoke up first.
She married into the Yue's family and gave birth to three boys and three girls, and the one she married today is her youngest son and her favorite child. This child is gifted and intelligent, good at learning, and has been expected by his family since he was a child. In order to revitalize the Yue family, he spent a lot of money to send him abroad to study. Not long after I came back, I was clamoring to get married.
Men, there is nothing wrong with starting a family first and then starting a business, anyway, the candidate for this daughter-in-law, they have already decided, and they only need to go through the motions, but they never expected that this Yue Musheng was not marrying the daughter-in-law they gave to him, but a country girl who didn't know where to get out.
In order to dispel his thoughts, the couple persuaded him a lot, but the soft and hard methods didn't work. It's his own son, and he can't see him depressed because of such a woman, and even want to die or live. For the sake of their son, the two of them still endured this breath and reluctantly agreed to this family business.
But what they never expected was that on the day of their marriage, their son, who had always been quite measured, would make such a scene regardless of it, which made people see the jokes of their Yue family.
"Mother, it's the son's fault, it's the son who is too anxious." Yue Musheng saw that his mother was angry, so he bowed: "Zhiwei is timid, and I have never seen such a big scene, my son is worried that she won't be able to stand the fright and stumble again." ”
"Knowing that you can't stand such a big scene, you shouldn't think about flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix. Whatever kind of house finch this is, it should stay in what nest. Mrs. Yue said coldly.
Originally, she still wanted to maintain the face of the Yue family, so she had to pretend to be willing to accept it in front of everyone. But Mu Sheng's actions, as well as Mu Sheng's protection of that woman, made her feel angry. The words that were nested in my stomach couldn't help but be said, anyway, this joke has already come out today, and I am not afraid of others talking about it more. She just wanted to let the guests know that she didn't like Xue Zhiwei, a country girl, and didn't want her to enter the door of Yue's house at all.
"Isn't that shameful enough?" Master Yue's face became more and more heavy, he first glared at his own wife, and then said lukewarmly: "Mu Sheng has already carried the person back, this daughter-in-law, whether you like it or not, from now on you will be a member of our Yue family." Since you can't change this fact, you have to learn to accept it. Let's make a tea ceremony. ”
When the mother-in-law next to her heard this, she hurriedly put the two futons in front of Master Yue and Mrs. Yue. This time, there was no need for Yue Musheng to say anything, Xue Zhiwei took the initiative to kneel down, she first kowtowed to Master Yue and Mrs. Yue, and then took the tea handed over by the maid, and raised her hand to serve it.
"Dad drinks tea, mother drinks tea."
Master Yue took Xue Zhiweijing's tea first, took a symbolic sip and put it aside. Mrs. Yue was a little reluctant to take it, but under the gaze of Master Yue and her son, she also took a symbolic sip.
Everyone heard what Mrs. Yue said before, and they all saw Mrs. Yue's attitude, and then looked at the bride, although she was covered with red silk, she looked very obedient. Master Yue didn't let her go, she just bowed her head and knelt like that, motionless.
"It's a new era, and it's not like in the past, arranged marriages by parents. This life, in the end, is still a matter between you and Mu Sheng, since he likes you, you don't want to marry, as parents, we can't interfere, but there are some things that we have to talk to you about today. Since you marry into my father-in-law's family, you must abide by the rules of my father-in-law's family. I don't ask you to abide by the three obedience and four virtues, but I hope that you will keep the virtues of women, know what it means to be chaste and virtuous, and know what it means to be diligent and blessed to the family. ”
"The daughter-in-law obeys the teachings of her father."
From the first sentence of Master Yue, Yue Musheng's eyes became cold. Seeing Xue Zhiwei kowtowing, he dragged the person up all of a sudden: "Father also knows that it is a new era, why are there still those old feudal things in and out of words." ”
"From ancient times to the present, only Lao Tzu has taught his son, and no son has accused Lao Tzu." Master Yue was also angry, he slapped the table suddenly, stood up and pointed at Yue Musheng and said, "Are you not convinced, if you are not convinced, take this daughter-in-law of yours and go, and never enter the door of my Yue family." You ask your two brothers, ask your two sisters-in-law, do you have to abide by the rules of my Yue family when you enter the door of your Yue family? If you don't want to follow this rule, get out of here, as far as you can. ”
Master Yue said, brushing his sleeves away.
Mrs. Yue glared at Xue Zhiwei fiercely, scolded the "goblin" and left with Master Yue.
The host's house left, and the guests who came to watch the ceremony were a little embarrassed. This wedding gift has been given, should I still eat the wedding banquet?
Yue Musheng was also a tempered person, and when he saw his parents throwing off his sleeves and leaving, he felt embarrassed, and really dragged Xue Zhiwei out of the main hall of Yue's house. A wedding banquet that the whole city paid attention to turned into a proper farce.
Xing Ruyi came to Xue Zhiwei on the third day after the end of this farce.
She put down the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and pushed open the wooden door with the smell of the cat in her arms. Xue Zhiwei sat in front of the bronze mirror without even turning his body.
"This time, but you found the heart you wanted?"
"It's just the beginning, and everything is unknown." Xue Zhiwei picked up the hairpin and compared it on his head: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to persuade me, I won't leave with the shopkeeper." ”
"How do you know that I came to persuade you?" Xing Ruyi smiled lightly: "I'm here to tell you that your time is running out, if you insist on it any longer, I'm afraid you will end up in a disillusionment." ”
"What about the soul being scattered?" Xue Zhiwei put down the hairpin: "If I can't meet the person who is sincere to me, what's the use of me keeping these three soul wonders." The shopkeeper doesn't need to be reminded, I know my own situation very well, I have made up my mind, and I will never change it. ”
Xing Ruyi shook his head, hugged the cat and planned to leave, saw the drizzle outside, turned around again, looked at Xue Zhiwei and said: "A few days ago, a person went to my rouge shop, and he asked me for a recipe for making crucian carp soup, and I don't know who boiled it for, and I don't know if that person still has a chance to drink it." ”
Xue Zhiwei's face finally had an expression, but the expression was fleeting, and it was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
"When the people are gone, who are they pretending to show them?"
"Is what you think the truth really the truth?"
"It's not the truth, but what?" Xue Zhiwei sneered: "It can't be that my eyes are deceiving me, right?" ”
"The eye doesn't deceive, but the heart does. There are some things that you see, but your heart is unwilling to let you understand them, and with the voices around you, there will inevitably be misunderstandings. Xing Ruyi looked at the rain that kept falling outside: "When you met him, it was the low point of your life. Mother is strong and doesn't understand you. I finally met someone I liked, but it turned out to be a liar. That person not only cheated you out of your person, your heart, but also tricked you into saddling you with a whole bunch of debts. You feel so bad that you even want to die at one point. ”
"Isn't he a liar?" Xue Zhiwei looked down at the hairpin: "When I met him, I had already told him all about his past, and he could choose not to be with me, but he didn't." He knows that I am insecure, he knows that I need someone to take care of me, I need someone to take care of me, and I need someone to guard me every step of the way, but what about him, before I got married, it was the same thing, and after I got married, it was another thing. Men are liars, liars who are good at acting. ”
"What did he lie to you? Didn't he do his best to be nice to you? Xing Ruyi asked rhetorically, with some disgust for Xue Zhiwei in his eyes.
In this world, there are always some people who think that the whole world owes her, and that everyone in the world has the obligation to be good to her. But what about her, has she ever repaid the love and kindness that the people around her have placed on her?
You know that his family is ordinary, but you open your mouth and ask him for two small yellow croakers as a bride price. Did you think about his troubles at that time? ”
"That's what my mother wants, not what I want. My father died early, and it was not easy for my mother to pull me up, she was afraid of the days of no money, and she was also worried that I would live a life of no money in the future, so it is normal to take precautions and ask for more. ”
"Okay, just think it's your mother who wants it, just think it's your mother who can't persuade yourself as a daughter. Then let me ask you, did you tell him that as long as you give these two little yellow croakers to your mother, you are willing to follow her to live a poor and hard life? ”
"Yes!"
"Have you done it then?"
"Haven't I been?" Xue Zhiwei bit his lip.
"You haven't!" Xing Ruyi coldly pointed out this fact: "You know that you have done your best for him and his family to make up those two little yellow fish, but you are still greedy in the name of love. You asked him to buy you clothes, the most fashionable clothes of the moment, and he tightened his clothes and food, and borrowed them for you. You said that when the girl went out of the cabinet, her mother-in-law had to prepare gold and silver jewelry, and his father and mother gritted their teeth and sold all the valuable things in the house to you. You said that getting married is a lifelong thing, and the scenery to be done, he and his father would rather borrow money than try to give you the scenery, but you are still not satisfied. ”
"Is that also called scenery?"
"The scenery depends on who you compare to, for him, it is already the best wedding he can give you with all his might."
