The carriage was kicking and tapping on the Suhang Road, and Tan Yin lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves on both sides and falls on people's faces, leaving dappled shadows that dazzle people's eyes.

In the distance, the ponds have long since withered, and the lotus leaves have withered, a late autumn scene.

It was only two months after returning home, and he left in a hurry.

When I was in Beijing, I thought about not going to Yanya's wedding, but now I go with my parents, and people's thoughts are really changeable!

In the hometown that haunted me when I went to Beijing, it seems to be slowly dull under the warmth and comfort at the beginning.

Ah Xiu got married half a month ago.

watched her cry and get into the sedan chair, said goodbye to herself with tears, and followed the team to send her relatives out of the village for two miles, until she could no longer follow.

watched the girlfriend who grew up get married, and from then on he was another housewife, and it seems that part of himself has followed.

The former friends went their separate ways, and the quiet hometown seemed too quiet.

I used to enjoy peach blossoms in spring, row and pick lotus in summer, watch plays everywhere in autumn, and eat meat and snow in winter. Eating sweet melons, drinking refreshing tea, chatting endlessly, and reading never-ending books.

I once thought that I would always be in my hometown with Li Zheng, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ziqing, but now I am separated from Lao Yan.

Watching the carriage pass by one village after another, looking at the same or different wells, Tan Yin remembered the words she heard that day.

……

There is a big well in the village, different from the small well at home, the mouth of the well is enough to have three large small wells, and the bluestone slabs are built up all around, it is the place where the villagers wash rice, wash vegetables and wash clothes, and it is also the place where the short gossip spreads in the parents.

That day, Tan Yin went to Ah Xiu's house, and was just about to walk out of the path between the two rows of houses, preparing to pass through the well and then bend to her house.

Then I heard a shrill voice say, "You don't know! Li Zheng is a high school jinshi, he wants to be a big official, and he doesn't want that girl from the Tan family. ”

is the aunt of Wang's second family, one of the few women in the village who can say a few words to Li's mother. The popularity is not good, and it is not likable, usually she is only obedient, and it is definitely not her turn to spread the news.

Similar to her own tall and thin appearance, her voice is high, high-pitched, and penetrating enough to be heard from afar.

When the other women heard this, they all urged: "Second Aunt Wang, you speak quickly." ”

The second aunt Wang was very proud when she saw that she had become the center of everyone, and said teasingly: "I heard what Li Zheng's mother said, Li Zheng, this kid wants to be a big official and marry a young lady, how can the girl of the Tan family be worthy of him now." ”

"What! Is the girl of the Tan family still worthy? She looks like she has a smart family background, but she can't find half of it. The chubby third aunt Wang wondered.

"Whew...... How many girls have you seen? Li Zheng and his mother can say, then everyone's young lady looks like a fairy can't compare, her father often sees the emperor, you have to kowtow when you see a county master, and the Tan family girl is not worthy of lifting her shoes. The second aunt Wang showed disdain on her face, and mocked these people for not seeing the world.

"Isn't that girl going to cry to death?" Another woman asked.

"It's right to cry, think clearly as soon as possible and understand the reason, Li Zheng is not something she can afford to climb now. This phoenix has to be matched with the phoenix, and the black chicken is to be matched with the black chicken. Second Aunt Wang mocked.

"Whew...... You say so much, don't you just want to say goodbye to that kid in your family? Aunt Wang San saw through her thoughts.

Second Aunt Wang glanced at her, shook her head angrily, and said proudly like a big rooster: "What's wrong! My Huzi is good-looking and capable, and he is the shopkeeper of Boss Zhang in Suzhou City, earning more than his father for ten years a year, is he not worthy of this girl. She was dumped by Li Zheng, if only we didn't dislike her. ”

"The two sons of Huzi who earn are still not looked down on, and your Huzi can't buy one of the hairpins on her mother's head in a year."

"Cut, that's why Master Tan indulged her, and she didn't even give birth to a male baby, and other people's families would have been kicked out a long time ago. Our Huzi is so young and capable, and in the future, he will buy a big house in Suzhou City, and there are many slaves and maids, no worse than Tan Fuzi! ”

"Then you don't necessarily have to choose your tiger, maybe she will make a second room for Li Zheng!"

Tan Yin couldn't listen anymore, turned around and went home.

……

Yanmin's marriage is also set, just a month and a half after Yanya's wedding.

The two girls of the Gao family got married one after another, and Tan Jun and his wife were also anxious about their daughter's marriage.

Originally, her daughter and Li Zheng were in love, even if they were worried, they couldn't have other plans. Now that she is nineteen after the New Year, time has suddenly become very tight.

Mrs. Tan has been urging Tan Jun these days, and the couple are thinking about it, one is to take the opportunity of participating in Yan Ya Yanmin's wedding, so that the Gao family can also give Zhang Luo Zhang Luo. The second is to contact Tan Jun's best friend to see if there is a suitable son.

The couple watched their daughter look out in a daze, and their daughter, who was originally lively and smart, suddenly became much calmer, and she didn't want to say anything about it, and the two of them felt very uncomfortable.

……

When she came to Hangzhou to see everyone again, Tan Yin felt very cordial.

We have experienced so many things together, spent more than a year together, there are laughter, pain, and sadness, and now they are all heavy memories.

The Xu family showed their sincerity to the greatest extent, and as soon as they returned to Hangzhou, the dowry was brought in one after another, and everyone saw the solemnity of the Xu family about this marriage.

Xu Linfeng deliberately returned from Beijing, and Xu Linhai also returned to Hangzhou half a month ago, and the officials and scholars of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were shocked.

The streets and alleys of Hangzhou are talking about this marriage, envying the good luck of the Gao family, and they seem to have forgotten that they had ridiculed and ridiculed the Gao family more than a year ago.

Yanya's body was already well, and her face was flushed with a healthy flush, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Gao family was full of guests, the traffic was busy, and even distant relatives and friends who had not been in contact with each other for many years came to congratulate them, and Yan Ting's face was about to stiffen with laughter.

Those who used to say behind their backs that Yanya Black Chicken wanted to match the phoenix are now full of smiles and call Jinyu Liangyuan.

People who used to watch the jokes of the Gao family are now envious of being able to get such a golden beetle son-in-law.

People's hearts are unpredictable, people's words are terrifying, people have gone through so many things, and Tan Yin is also a lot more indifferent.

On the day of the wedding, Yanya got up early to bathe and change clothes, and the bride wrenched her face, put on makeup, and combed her hair.

Tan Yin and Yan Min accompanied their wives to greet the female dependents and children, and they were busy from early in the morning.

Yan Ya sat in front of the mirror in a red wedding dress. Tan Yin stood behind her, her face in the mirror was as white as jade, her eyebrows were lightly spread, her apricot eyes were thick, and her sandalwood mouth was fragrant.

"Yanya, you are so beautiful today!" Tan Yin praised.

Yan Ya smiled at Tan Yin in the mirror.

The old lady married a set of golden phoenix ruby heads on the dresser, and the bride inserted beaded hairpins into the combed hair, one after another.

Yan Ya picked up the golden white jade gardenia hairpin, and slowly inserted it into the center of her hair in the mirror.

"Girl, this white hosta is really chic, it looks extraordinary, but it doesn't match this set of heads!" Xi Niang persuaded.

Yanya smiled, "It's okay. ”

Seeing the bride's insistence, the bride no longer persuades.

……

Just after noon, there was a crowd outside, and some people shouted, "The groom is here!" Everyone flocked to see the bridegroom.

The new house, which was still bustling just now, was empty after a while, leaving only Yanmin and Tan Yin.

The front was full of people, and from time to time the noise of noise, firecrackers, and cheers reached the backyard.

Lilac came in with a bowl of rice balls from the outside, and asked Yanya to eat some to cushion her stomach first.

Yanmin asked her how it was outside.

"There are a lot of people outside the Gaofu, and everyone comes to see the demeanor of the new champion Zifei Gongzi."

Haven't they seen him before? Tan Yin sneered.

"My uncle was surrounded by people, and he couldn't walk, so he finally passed five levels and cut six generals to come in. The lord and the eldest prince are greeting him! Madame asked me to come and talk to the girl. ”

After a while, the old lady and several ladies came over, and the second aunt finally got her wish and raised her eyebrows at her mother's house.

Yanya looked at everyone, looked around her boudoir, tears couldn't stop flowing, and several ladies dissuaded Yanya from crying while shedding tears.

Yanmin and Tan Yin also started crying, she will be the Xu family in the future, and the first half of the woman's life will be like this.

Half an hour later, the sedan chair came, and Yan Ting carried Yan Ya into the sedan chair on his back, watching the sedan curtain fall, cutting off everyone's sight.

When I see Xu Linhai, the god is like jade, like a spring breeze. Seeing that he was quite humble to his uncles and aunts, he was a big brother to Yan Ting.

When she arrived at the white jade gardenia hairpin, thinking of being at the Jingyang Inn, Yanya firmly said that she wanted to try it, and Tan Yin's unhappiness with this marriage really dissipated.

The servant woman who came back from sending her relatives was full of surprise, and the new house was arranged into a flower room by Mrs. Xu, who came to Beijing.

They also brought back an even more shocking news, Yang Che, the Marquis of Zhenbei, also came to attend Xu Linhai's wedding.
