Xia carpenter, who has been accustomed to fear for many years, has to be cheeky to borrow money from acquaintances everywhere, and Xia Lianniang is the same, with the unremitting efforts of the old couple, the day before Qin Dong came to propose, he finally scraped together enough money to save ten dowries.

Xia Lian must be false if she wants to say that she is not moved at all, after all, she knows very well her father's love for her, looking at the full dowry, she knelt down respectfully to the second elder with tears in her eyes and kowtowed.

"Lian'er has thanked her father and mother for her love, and she will not let your hard work be in vain, and her father and mother will wait to enjoy the blessings of her daughter in the future!"

Xia Lianniang immediately helped her daughter up distressedly, her eyes were also red in response to the situation, with a thick nasal voice, and said lovingly: "Lian'er, Daddy and Niang only have one baby girl, as long as you live well in the future, let Daddy and Niang do anything!" ”

Carpenter Xia also had red eyes, especially thinking that his daughter would marry to the town after the matchmaker was hired tomorrow, and he would not be able to see it from time to time in the future, this three-foot man almost shed tears.

"Lian'er, you must take good care of your father-in-law when you get married, honor your in-laws, there are many rules in big families, you can bear with it, don't easily argue with others. If he treats you badly, even if you come home, although your father has no ability, he won't be able to support his daughter, you know? ”

Xia Lian's nose was sour, and her tears couldn't stop falling, obviously it was still early to leave the cabinet, but she felt as if she was about to leave her father and mother to get married, and the sourness in her heart was indescribable.

"Father, mother, my daughter is not filial, and I will no longer be able to accompany the second elder in the future, you must take good care of your body, if the family needs anything, even if you send someone to the town to find me!"

Xia Lianniang burst into tears when she heard this, and hugged her and cried into tears, "Lian'er! Oh my daughter! Mother is really reluctant to give you up! ”

"Mother, I can't bear you!"

Looking at the painful scene of the mother and daughter hugging each other, Carpenter Xia forcibly held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, moved his head to the side, and secretly felt sad.

The next morning, the matchmaker really came to the door to propose.

As soon as she entered the door, she offered a lot of good words without money, and she smiled happily when she heard it, she was never generous, and she also stuffed some happy money to the matchmaker for the first time, so the matchmaker became more and more eyebrows and danced, saying that Xia Lian was like a fairy, and that her marriage with Qin Dong was the same as the fate of three lives.

Xia Lian naturally couldn't show up on this occasion, but it didn't prevent her from hiding in the back room and eavesdropping, listening to the beautiful words said by the matchmaker, she was secretly happy and excited and nervous, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost crumpled.

After holding it for a long time, the matchmaker began to do business, handed Qin Dong's Geng post and dowry gift list to Xia Lianniang, and said with a smile: "Madam, Qin Gongzi is really pleased with your girl, and specially instructed me before coming to the dowry that the dowry sent today will be regarded as the girl's dowry, and when the girl leaves the pavilion, he will prepare a rich dowry to come, so that the girl can marry beautifully!" ”

Xia Lianniang was stunned, and then looked at the red gift list in her hand, although she was illiterate, but she couldn't stand the words on the door, dense, she knew a lot of things at a glance, and the people brought by the matchmaker were constantly carrying things inside, and the big yard was almost full, but they continued to move.

My good girl, this dowry is too much, right? There are no less than eight in the courtyard alone. A big family is a big family, this shot ...... What a generous one!

Xia Lianniang was so happy that the corners of her mouth were almost to the root of her ears, but she still said humbly: "How can this work?" Although our family is not a rich family, Lian'er is my only daughter, and the dowry will definitely not be less. You go back and tell Gongzi Qin, our Lian'er has a dowry of ten sets, and it won't be shabby!" ”

The matchmaker's eyes widened, and she looked at Xia Lianniang carefully for a while, and then quickly swept the house that looked big but very simple, and asked in surprise, "Madame, are you serious?" "Doesn't it mean that the family is poor, and the whole family relies on Xia carpenter to earn money as carpenter? Are the carpenters in the village so rich now?

Xia Lianniang raised her head proudly and said triumphantly: "That's nature, I don't believe I can take you to see it, it's already been placed, and it's placed in the firewood room in the backyard and the guest room in the front yard." ”

The matchmaker wanted to refuse politely, but she couldn't bear Xia Lianniang's intentions, so she had to check it out with her, and then her mouth kept slugging, and she sent a basket of good words without money.

Xia Lianniang had ever been so flattered, and suddenly felt that her waist was no longer sore, her legs were no longer painful, and even her teeth, which had always been fragile, felt that she could chew a few sugarcanes raw at this moment and did not need to spit out slag.

After living for more than 30 years, she had the feeling of raising her eyebrows for the first time, and it was all thanks to her good daughter.

Over the years, people in the village have laughed at her, saying that she can't give birth to a son, and she won't even have a person to send her to the end of her life when she dies.

How much a son is born! Do you not want money to marry a wife? If you give birth to more people, you will marry more, and even if you have a mountain of gold in your family, you will be defeated! What's wrong with the girl? As long as the girl marries well, a girl can top ten sons!

After handing over Xia Lian's Geng post to the matchmaker, Xia Lianniang sent the matchmaker away with a smile, and when she saw the villagers gathered at her door to watch the excitement, she snorted coldly, straightened her chest, and turned around and went home directly to close the door.

It's not that she doesn't want to show off now, it's just that the time hasn't come yet, and when Xia Lian gets married, when she wears red makeup, it's time for her to really show off.

In the courtyard, Xia Lian had already come out of the back room, and was gently caressing the red boxes containing the dowry with love in her eyes, and when she saw her mother coming, she immediately smiled and said, "Mother, look, I just said that he wouldn't lie to me, right?" ”

Xia Lianniang believes in the charm of her daughter, but Carpenter Xia has been pouring cold water, doubting whether Qin Dong will not come to propose marriage at all, so she said this.

"Don't bother with your father, he has done too much carpentry, and his head has become an elm pimple, what does he know?" Xia Lianniang mercilessly refuted her father-in-law, and then took Xia Lian's hand with a smile, her eyes were full of joy, "Lian'er, the matchmaker said that the wedding date is set on the eighteenth day of the first month, and it will only be about a month." I read the yellow calendar, it was a good day, you just wait to get married and enjoy the blessings! ”

Xia Lian was overjoyed, but she still lowered her head in a shy manner, and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't make fun of me!" ”

"Where is my mother willing to tease you? But although the days are good, but the time is still a little tight, you have to hurry up to embroider the wedding dress, as well as the purse wind, try to do as much as possible, and give the rest to the mother. ”

"Well, don't worry, my daughter knows."

A month later, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, just after the Lantern Festival, Qin Dong rode a high-headed horse and led a team to greet his relatives.

Xia Lianniang was also a willing person, and directly took out all the ten dowries prepared by her family, together with the twelve dowries sent by the matchmaker that day, to Xia Lian to marry.

She didn't think about intercepting some at all, and vowed to let her daughter marry in a big way, anyway, she was the young grandmother who was in charge of the family in the past, and she could get more benefits in the future, why bother with these small profits in front of her?

When Xia Lian got married, the scene was extremely spectacular, almost the entire village came to see the excitement, Qin Dong was also not stingy, and he sprinkled a lot of money alone, not to mention those random candy and pastries, which made the villagers shout that they never thought that Xia Lian would really be able to marry into a big family in the town as a young grandmother?

Several women who have school-age girls in the family suddenly became lively in their hearts, thinking that they must have a good relationship with Xia Lianniang in the future, and they will have a good relationship with the big tree to enjoy the shade, even if they can't marry so well like Xia Lian, but if they have the help of the Qin Mansion, at least they won't marry a farmer.

The wedding was a lively event that caused a sensation in the entire village.

Because the banquet was placed in the town, and Xia Lian informed her mother in advance, she didn't want these people in the village to lose her face in the past, so Xia Lianniang gritted her teeth and borrowed money to write silver, and set up a flowing water table in the village.

On the other side, Xia Lian sat in a sedan chair in a red wedding dress, listening to the blowing and beating of the welcoming team outside through the hijab, and the corners of her mouth always maintained a happy smile.

In addition to being happy that she can marry into a wealthy family, she also has good news waiting to tell Qin Dong when she spends a candle night in the cave room, her menstrual affairs have been postponed for several days this month, and it is estimated that she is pregnant.

Just as she was fantasizing about a bright future, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and the sounds of blowing and blowing faded away, and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

What's going on? Did you encounter anything on the way?

After waiting for a while, she began to open her mouth to call people, but she didn't get any response, and in a hurry, she couldn't care so much, so she opened the curtain and looked out.

At this look, she almost lost her soul.

This is a mountain forest, and at this moment she is standing alone in the middle of the mountain road, no, it can't be said to be lonely, because there is a sedan chair to accompany her.

Qin Dong, the welcoming team, the matchmaker, the original mighty team has all disappeared.

What's going on? What's going on here?

Just when Xia Lian wondered if she had encountered a supernatural event like a ghost hitting the wall, a strange man walked out of the forest, came to stand in front of her, smiled at her, and then said, "Girl, if you don't want to have an accident yourself, go back while it's daytime." ”

"Where are you going? What do you mean? Who are you? Xia Lian took two steps back vigilantly and looked straight at the man.

"Originally, I didn't need to come out, but I've always liked to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and I see that you still haven't understood, so I'll tell you in person what kind of situation this is." The man said indifferently.

Xia Lian's heart sank slightly, bureau? What bureau? What do you mean? An extremely bad premonition suddenly surged in her heart.

"Qin Dong is not a young owner of the neon clothes and feathers, and his real name is not Qin Dong, but he is a little liar who is used to deceiving women of their wealth, what about you, you are also unlucky, you met him."

As soon as the man's words fell, Xia Lian suddenly felt that all the strength in her body had been lost, and she sat on the ground in a daze.

"You hurry home, in the future, don't be deceived by men's rhetoric." The man turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said more, "By the way, don't think about looking for him for revenge, he's elusive, you can't find him, and it's only you women who will suffer from this kind of thing. ”

After the man finished speaking, he left, and after Xia Lian was stunned for a long time, she suddenly let out a heart-rending wail that shook the valley.
