Chapter XXXVII
The mansion in front is full of laughter and flowers. Even the trees in the courtyard are tied with bright red colored silk, and although it is snowing, it does not affect the joy and joy of the place in the slightest. I don't know how many firecrackers were set off, and a layer of red shredded paper fell on the ground, which was tread back and forth by many people, wet and dirty, and looked embarrassed.
We were standing outside the door of the wedding room, and there was a commotion inside for the bridegroom to take off the hijab.
The groom's face was full of joy, his face was full of red light, and he was wearing a red robe, and his face was flying. In the midst of the cheers and cheers, he took off the hijab on the bride's head with a wedding scale.
The bride's face is petite, her makeup is quite heavy, her eyebrows are exquisitely trimmed, and she is painted with red rouge, although she is not very beautiful, but she is full of joy, and her face is full of the shyness of the bride.
A woman, the most important thing in her life, I am afraid that this day is coming.
I was a little distracted, and suddenly someone next to me whispered: "Miss Wu Ning? β
The voice was a little uncertain, I turned my head, and a young man in a blue brocade robe was standing beside me, smiling at me a little shyly: "I didn't expect to meet you here." My surname is Min, and we met in Tujiazhuang. β
Ah, I remember him.
He seems to be about the same age as Wen Fei, but he is shorter and thinner, and he looks shy and timid like a little girl.
"I just looked at the back very similarly, but I didn't dare to come over and recognize it. When did the witch girl come to the capital......"
There was an uproar in the house, and those people were trying their best to trick the newlyweds, and the bride was blindfolded, and several young children of the family came over, giggling on their faces, desperately holding back a smile, and each of them shouted a lady, and the groom was also mixed in, and asked the bride to guess which one was the groom. If the bride and groom have met before, it is fine, but if they have not met. I haven't heard the groom's voice, so where can I guess it? Fortunately, I don't know if the two knew each other well in advance, or if the bride was lucky, she really guessed it. This is not over, after guessing correctly, another person brought a bowl of sweet soup over, saying that it was lily lotus seed soup, and asked the bride to feed the groom to drink, which means that a hundred years of good harmony and early birth of a noble son - yes. This soup is delicious, but it does not allow the bride to remove the veil from her eyes.
The house was bustling, someone next to him said. This is still polite, and it will be replaced by those people who are not polite, and they will make a lot of trouble.
We don't have such a custom there, most of them pour the groom's wine in front of us, and the bride sits in the cave room. Naturally, there are female dependents accompanying each other, and even if there is trouble, it is also a joke of the female dependents - this can be regarded as the difference between the north and the south.
The room was bustling, and my feet were trampled several times in the chaos. Wu Zhen frowned and pulled me out, and suddenly laughed: "The groom is really embarrassed, and there is soup and water on the placket." Well. In my opinion, the lotus seed soup is actually not suitable, I need to make a bowl of shrimp paste noodles to feed it......"
"Poof......" I couldn't help but laugh.
The shrimp paste noodles are very fresh and fragrant. It's just that the appearance is not very good, and the sauce is mixed with soybean paste, so it looks yellow and mushy, and the noodles are ...... How to say, such a delicious thing. It seems, very. Very much like ......
I can't think about it anymore, I can't eat at noon.
I cleared my throat: "People here in the capital shouldn't eat that......"
A person next to him asked, "What is shrimp paste noodles?" β
I turned my head unexpectedly, and the young man surnamed Min had been following us all along, and he had also come out of the crowd.
Wu Zhen glanced at him curiously, and suddenly said: "Ah, I remember you, when I was in Tujiazhuang, I was pushed by someone, and you helped me." β
It turned out that they also knew each other.
"By the way, what's your name? I was in a hurry last time, and then something happened again, and I didn't ask you. β
"In Lower Min Road."
"Hmm, my name is Wu Zhen, this is Wu Ning."
We saw each other again, and there was a mess of people coming and going under the corridor, and Min Dao said, "I live in the guest room in the side courtyard, and if the two girls don't give up, come to my place to have a cup of tea and rest for a while." There's still a lot of trouble here, so you have to toss it until the evening. I'm afraid that the table of the ladies in the back will have to wait. β
Wu Zhen glanced at me, and I hesitated slightly.
Wen Fei must be accompanying the people from the Yue family in the front hall at this time, even if he is unwilling, he can't get out.
"The yard where I live is very close," Min Dao seemed to understand what I was thinking, "just go around that gate and walk a few steps." β
"Go sit down for a while, it's a headache here."
I nodded, "Okay." β
Min Daoxi smiled diligently, and he laughed even more childishly, like a child.
Wu Zhen asked casually: "You are related to the Wen family?" β
Min Dao nodded and said, "It's not a relative, my mother and Mrs. Wen's cousin are the same ......" This relationship is complicated enough.
The courtyard where he lived was not far away, and most of the people went to see the bridegroom for a wedding drink, and the courtyard was very quiet, and there was a thin rustle of snow on the eaves of the roof tiles.
"Come on, sit down." Min Dao was a little at a loss, touched the teapot and lifted the chair and stool: "This ...... The tea is not hot anymore......"
"It's okay, we're not thirsty, let's just sit and rest for a while." Wu Zhen said: "The commotion outside makes my head hurt. β
Min Dao rubbed his hands and sat down: "It's very cold in the capital right now, where do the two girls stay?" β
"We live in the inner city." Wu Zhen grabbed a few melon seeds in his hand: "Which girl did the Wen family marry?" The happy event was so lively. β
"It's the Sun family in Lichang, Luozhou, there are seven girls in the Sun family, and the first six have already come out of the cabinet, this is the seventh girl."
"Ouch, seven girls, how lively the sisters should be." Wu Zhen looked at me, which means that there are only two of you and me in our family, and compared with others, they can be regarded as withered.
"Not really." Min Dao whispered: "These seven girls are not from the same mother, the old man of the Sun family has many concubines, and he is bent on seeking a son, but he still hasn't given birth to a son." The girls and the aunt were not in harmony, it was every day and scolded, there was no day of peace, and it was not easy to survive until the first six girls were out of the cabinet, and when there were only seven girls left in the family, the old man of the Sun family couldn't afford to be sick again, and he was counting on the joy of the seventh girl's marriage - but it was said that the illness was serious, and I was afraid that it would not be able to delay the beginning of spring. β
cough, obviously talking about the misfortune of others, but the three of us are all in the same sorrow. People are like this, not their own relatives and friends. The joys and sorrows of unrelated people, listening to these things, I am afraid that they are mostly used to relieve boredom.
For example, we are sighing together now, but no one is really sad.
Wu Zhen said curiously: "You know a lot, why, you also know the people of the Sun family?" β
Min Dao shook his head hurriedly: "I don't know." But...... I was listening to others in the hall just now, this, they said it loudly, and I didn't deliberately listen to it......"
It turned out that he also heard it.
Wu Zhen covered his mouth and smiled. Min Dao was a little cramped and uneasy.
"Anything else?" Wu Zhen's eyes blinked, and Min Dao's face was slightly red: "No...... Didn't hear anything else......"
Wu Zhen was a little disappointed: "Is there really none?" β
Min Dao glanced at me and lowered his head again. Whispered, "Well, it's still ...... There's one more piece. β
Wu Zhen was very interested in the short trivial matters of these parents, and he bittered Min Dao, such a shy boy, let him learn from the three aunts and six mothers-in-law with many mouths and tongues-
"They also said one more thing......" Min Dao said a little cautiously, "but I didn't hear the name clearly." Not. It's about a senior of the Wen family. β
"Speak quickly, speak quickly."
I vaguely feel in my heart that for the people of the previous lives, the current people may not have the leisure to chew on the old things. Eighty percent is in the way of the master's family, so I didn't make the name and surname clear.
"At first, it was because of the discussion about the bride's rich dowry. Those people said that when a man of the Wen family marries, he has always had to look at the woman's dowry. If there is no rich dowry. If the mother's family has no power, even if it is a fairy beauty and a man from the Wen family, he will definitely not marry. said that the man who didn't know which generation of the Wen family was also a talented and beautiful person......"
Wu Zhen interjected: "It's not a woman." It's also a talent and a beautiful ......."
Min Dao said: "That's what they said. Well, the young man of the Wen family has a girl who is a good match, and that girl is very good, handsome, and has a good temperament. has a good family background, and can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart. The words of the two people who swore to live and die together must have been said...... But I didn't expect that the girl's family suddenly changed, and the family was ruined......"
Wu Zhen interjected again: "He changed his mind and married another Gaomen?" β
Min Dao was not annoyed by her several interruptions, he was really a good-natured person: "Well, it's not...... It seems that he doesn't want to bear the notoriety of treacherous dislike of the poor and love the rich, so he designed to let the girl fall into the street and be rescued by another rich son, so that everyone said that she was grateful for the grace of saving and had promised that son, but the girl was full of long mouths and couldn't tell clearly, so no one said anything about the son of the Wen family who married another man......"
With a "bang", Wu Zhen almost knocked over the table, and said angrily: "Why is this person so insidious and shameless? Not to mention a lover, even if it is a stranger, forcing the design of a weak woman like this is really indiscriminate! What about the poor girl? What happened to her? β
Min Dao hurriedly persuaded her: "Miss Wuzhen...... This is just some small talk, not necessarily true. β
I said: "Min Gongzi talked to you to relieve your boredom, and you slapped the table and smashed the bench, which made people feel uneasyβbesides, it was said that it was a matter of the predecessors, so you don't have to worry about the ancients." β
Min Dao looked at me gratefully, and said, "They didn't mention what happened to that girl...... Most of them are married separately. Although it is gossip, as soon as I think about it, as far as I know, the Wen family really has never married a daughter from a lowly and poor family. Let's just say that these seven girls, the Lichang Sun family is not prosperous, the family property is extremely abundant, and there is no son to inherit it, so these seven girls are out of the cabinet, and the marriage is really not ordinarily rich. Some people say that the dowry of this seventh girl is more than enough to buy the entire Wen family. β
Wu Zhen pursed his lips: "So what? In response to what you just said, this kind of marriage for the sake of wealth, if something happens in the future, there is no money and no power, then the husband and wife are not husband and wife, and they will fly separately when disaster comes? β
I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but I didn't quite understand what I was worried about.
