The next morning, Meng Xingyuan was working hard to clean the courtyard when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Meng Xingyuan was overjoyed, and even a little nervous, and immediately went to open the door.

After seeing the person knocking on the door clearly, Meng Xingyuan was disappointed again, because it was not Fan Xiliang who came, but a sneaky person with brown hair.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Meng Xingyuan asked politely.

The man tilted his head and glanced around the courtyard before saying, "I'm looking for your young lady, you go and call her out." ”

"I can go and report it, please ask your surname. ”

"My surname is Peng, my name is Peng Bao, and Zhao Dahu and Zheng landlords in the village are my godfathers. When he said this, there was actually a little more pride on his face.

Meng Xingyuan understood, it turned out that this disgusting person was Peng Brown Dog. He said very unceremoniously: "Our young lady doesn't want to see you, so get out of here." ”

Peng Brown Dog's eyes widened, his neck tilted, pointed at Meng Xingyuan's nose, and said viciously: "How can you talk to Uncle Ben as a little domestic servant? Tell you, Zhao Dahu and Zheng Landlord are my godfathers, and they ......."

"Get out!" Meng Xingyuan was annoyed. His eyes widened and he shouted at Peng Brown Dog.

Peng Brown Dog was stunned, put down his fingers stupidly, didn't say a word, and ran away in a gloomy manner.

"What a dog!" Meng Xingyuan closed the door and muttered to himself.

Ah Feng in his ears actually laughed softly: "This is the first time I've heard you swear." ”

"Did I swear? Oh, this bastard is so shameless. Meng Xingyuan picked up the broom again, "You must have forgotten that when those Taoist priests chased us to the train station, I also cursed." ”

"You're right. I also think this guy is too jerk. Ah Feng agreed with Meng Xingyuan's words.

Meng Xingyuan returned to his earthen house and was drinking water with a bowl when there was a knock on the door. Meng Xingyuan was angry, and said in his heart that Peng Brown Dog dared to come on this dog day. He put down the water bowl, rushed to the door in a few steps, and slammed the door open: "You guy who doesn't give money to prostitutes, I ......"

However, the person in front of him was not Peng Brown Dog, but a young man in shabby clothes but very neat, with a tired face and two eyes that were very attentive.

"I'm sorry to disturb the little brother," the young man raised his hand to salute, "I don't know if it's convenient for the little brother, give me a bowl of water." ”

Meng Xingyuan asked a little excitedly, "May I ask your surname?"

The young man smiled slightly, and said modestly: "Don't dare, my surname is Fan, and my name is Xiliang." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Fan, please come in. Meng Xingyuan was overjoyed and warmly beckoned Fan Xiliang into the door.

After pouring water for Fan Xiliang and bringing some food, Meng Xingyuan went to invite Meng Laohan's father and daughter to the backyard. As happened in that story, Meng Laohan asked a few questions, and Fan Xiliang answered them one by one.

Meng Xingyuan stood outside the door and saw Meng Jiang's pretty face in the room, her face was slightly red, her head was lowered, but she couldn't stop sneaking a glance at Fan Xiliang. Fan Xiliang was also peeking at her, and after the eyes of the two of them collided, they would blush, and their eyes would avoid in a panic. Without saying a few words, the two of them would sneak another glance at each other.

"Lovers eventually become married. Although this was only the first time Meng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang met, Meng Xingyuan still thought of this sentence. He immediately thought of his girlfriend who had broken up, and couldn't help but feel sour.

Fan Xiliang naturally stayed and lived in the room next door to Meng Xingyuan. Meng Jiangnu also began to come to the backyard often, intentionally or unintentionally, but in the more than ten days that Meng Xingyuan came, she did not come to the backyard once.

Peng Brown Dog also came a few times secretly, and each time he pretended to be vicious and glared at Fan Xiliang and Meng Xingyuan, and muttered in a low voice: I will ask my two godfathers to clean you up sooner or later, and at that time, Meng Jiangnu will be mine. Ha ha. Then leave satisfied.

As time went by, the relationship between Meng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang became deeper and deeper, and even Meng Xingyuan could see their affairs, not to mention Meng Laohan. Therefore, Meng Laohan also found an opportunity and proposed to Fan Xiliang to marry Meng Jiangnu to him.

Fan Xiliang naturally would not refuse, after Meng Jiangnu was questioned by her father, her face was full of shyness, and she was silent for a long time, and the marriage was settled.

Meng Xingyuan was also very happy, and at the same time, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, because he knew that the day Meng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang got married was when Peng Brown Dog led the officers and soldiers to arrest them.

Their wedding was arranged in an intense and orderly manner. According to the provisions of the Qin Dynasty's "Legal Questions and Answers", Fan Xiliang and Meng Jiangnu went to the government to register, and in order not to be tracked down by the government about Fan Xiliang's escape from Zhuangding's service, Meng Laohan also sent a big gift to the government.

Because Fan Xiliang is a foreigner and he is alone here, Meng Laohan and Jiang Laohan agreed that Jiang Laohan will be the "maiden family" of Meng Jiangnu, and Meng Laohan will become Fan Xiliang's family.

Jiang Laohan also exempted Fan Xiliang from the dowry and dowry, along with the "three books" at that time - the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, the letter of greeting, and the "six rites" - Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Naji, asking for the period, welcoming in person, and other literary festivals were also exempted. Fan Xiliang was greatly moved, and tears flowed.

When the people in the village heard about this, they all came to the house to say goodbye, and Meng Laohan and Jiang Laohan were happy as if they were ten years younger.

In the anxious waiting of everyone, the wedding day finally came. To Meng Xingyuan's surprise, the Qin Dynasty people did not pick up their relatives in the morning, but in the evening, and Meng Xingyuan, who was harmed, could only endure a difficult day.

Ah Feng was very amused when he saw him fidgeting, and said, "Obviously someone else is married, why are you in such a hurry? People who don't know will definitely think that you are the groom." ”

Meng Xingyuan thought about it, so he lay down on the bed. However, it was not long before he jumped up again, walked back and forth a few steps, and found that he had nothing to do, so he had to lie down on the bed again.

Finally, in the evening, Fan Xiliang set off from Meng Laohan's house, leading the float (the bride's car), the ink car (the groom's car), and so on to pick up the kiss. The bride, Meng Jiangnu, went to Jiang Laohan's house in advance. And Meng Xingyuan was fortunate to join the pick-up team and experienced a wedding of the Qin Dynasty.

Fan Xiliang's clothes are not the red and glamorous that Meng Xingyuan imagined, I saw that he was wearing a crown that looked like a crown of Wuyu, and the wide clothes on his upper body were blue-black, symbolizing "heaven"; his bottom was light red, symbolizing "earth", and the edges were black, symbolizing the harmony of yin and yang. On the feet are red double-soled shoes. It turned out that the Qin Dynasty was a water virtue, still black.

The team did not go directly to Jiang Laohan's house next door, but circled around the village before arriving at Jiang Laohan's house. The hostess of the Jiang family came out to greet her in person, and after some courtesy, the two sides entered the door together.

After Fan Xiliang saw Jiang Laohan, he knelt down in a proper manner, slowly bent down, his head touched the ground directly, and maintained this posture for a while - this is a courtesy, a great gift. After Fan Xiliang got up, Meng Jiangnu came out in a black silk coat with light red lace and walked in front of Jiang Laohan.

With tears in his eyes, Jiang Laohan whispered to warn her to respect her husband and her husband's parents in the future, and gave her a piece of clothing as a token of admonition. Then, Meng Jiangnu came to Mrs. Jiang Laohan's side, and Mrs. Jiang tied a belt around Meng Jiangnu's waist, connected a scarf, and also instructed some words such as doing more housework and respecting her husband.

Then, Meng Jiangnu walked out of the gate with Fan Xiliang, and before getting on the float, someone put a dust-proof coat on her. After getting into the car, Meng Jiangnu took the driving belt handed by Fan Xiliang. Fan Xiliang drove the float forward, and after the wheel had turned three times, he stopped, handed the float to others, and left quickly in the ink cart himself, because he had to rush to the door of Meng Laohan's house in advance to wait to greet the bride.

The wedding party picked up the bride and returned to Meng Laohan's house instead of following the route she had taken – but by a different route and making a lap around the village. Ah Feng told Meng Xingyuan that the route of the welcoming team cannot be the same as the route back, which means "no turning back".

There is no "bride" like in modern times, where crowds rush up, but people are smiling and standing quietly around. Fan Xiliang was also smiling, and he carried the bride in a proper manner, walked on a brand new mat, and entered their cave room.
