Chapter 229: A Heart-Pounding Premonition
What is it like to feel your heart pounding for the first time?
When Yonghui saw me arrive at Tuping, she didn't mean to follow me anymore. After all www.biquge.info there are a lot of guests at home today, and she needs to be busy. So before the roses arrived, she and Xiaoxiang had already gone into the house. I watched the pig killing around everyone in the dirt lawn, and even if Huijiang was stunned on the side, it was difficult to stop my excitement.
Because everyone knows that Tang Jiuyuan wants to see the object today, and the woman is a relative of Niu Sanniangniang of the Niu family, so it is logical that almost all the relatives on Tang Jiuyuan's side came. This is a big event in the family, and the old people all say, "Marrying a bad family will harm three generations!" Marry a good family, ten generations of Yan Changrong! Although this is an exaggeration, when you think about it, women are indeed extremely important in the family.
So for Tang Jiuyuan's branch, his marriage is a big deal. Not only did all the brothers and concubines in his father's room arrive, but even the residents of Hongzheng Hall were almost all there. It is rare that the old lady is also there, Shen Baozhen accompanied her and Niu Lao Lingpo to chat, although the blood is a little far away, but at least it is a blood relative in the same room, and the old woman is still an elder.
Because the weather is really rare and good, everyone is a little excited, and they all predict that this year's wax will be exhausted, and the Spring Festival will also be a good weather. It had been cold and snowy for a long time. If there are elderly people at home who are prepared, or children are in front of them, there is no problem in surviving this cold winter. If the children don't care too much, or the elderly live alone, it will be a little troublesome in the cold winter.
Finally, when the warm winter sun appeared, the old people and children were smiling. What's more, in the last few days of the Spring Festival, people who have nothing special at home are all busy and happy to prepare for the New Year. These people who have been depressed for nearly half a month have come out to bask in the sun, catch up with the major events in Tang Jiuyuan, and kill pigs together with the Niu family, everyone naturally has to come to take advantage of the excitement.
No one will care about me on such a lively occasion, because older than me has already blatantly gone to see girls, and younger than me will not surround me at all. Those adult young men and women, when they reach the age where they need to find a mate, see strange girls and young men appear, and naturally they are cowardly or cheeky to approach.
Because in such opportunities and occasions, there may be an opportunity to meet a girl or a young man. At this time, the combination of men and women still needs a matchmaker, and if a man and a woman are together without being introduced by the matchmaker, they will be strongly opposed by their families and even criticized by the people around them. As for such blind date occasions, it is often not a man and a woman, and both parties will call their single friends to participate together.
Because at this time, the villagers are still very subtle in public, especially when it comes to their own life events, they often show their best side. And the old people are happy to see this situation, because the union of a man and a woman has rarely been so enlightened as it is now.
Nowadays, times have changed, and girls on the street can blatantly wear sandals, and some fashionable ones even dare to wear skirts. Showing smooth white and tender calves, the old people inevitably followed behind and pointed at them, saying that these girls were immoral. If only one or two people wear it like this, it will inevitably be difficult to withstand this kind of pressure, but now many towns and even counties are proud of this kind of dress, so everyone knows that the times are indeed different.
At the beginning, there were fewer girls who had been wearing big braids, many of them cut their hair short, and some people learned to be fashionable and permed their hair into curls. This kind of all kinds of curly hair is called a fake foreign devil by the old man. Some old people even cried out bitterly, the world is in chaos, good Chinese, why do you have to learn the appearance of these foreign devils? But when his own children see other people's greed, the old man can only scold, but secretly he can't see it anymore.
The colors of the clothes on the street have also changed from a single plain labor cloth and military green khaki cloth to a colorful and colorful cloth, including nylon cloth and floral cotton cloth. Although there are still many people who dare not wear colorful colors, at least they dare to secretly try bright colors. The colors on the streets and in the countryside are enriched, and everyone actually feels pleasing to the eye. As for the thinking of the old people, and the changes of the times, they no longer wait for the footsteps of these old people.
Times have indeed changed, and even though many people's minds are still very old, there are many people who are gradually able to accept new ideas coming in.
Tang Jiuyuan finally put on three-scalp shoes today, the pants are the latest flared jeans on the street, but the clothes are the thick sweater that his sister Wuyuan painstakingly knitted. Coupled with his newly hot Elvis head, he looks fashionable and handsome. He took a filter cigarette, opened a few packs of cigarettes with a happy face, and took the initiative to send one when he saw someone, as if today was his wedding joy.
At the table of the Eight Immortals in the room on the field, Niu Saburo was accompanied by a pair of men and women, who looked about the same age as him. Peony and Rose were both standing behind them, and Peony looked similar to the cousin, who was supposed to be the mother of the Peony sisters. And they were followed by two or three girls, apparently their friends. Their beauty is obviously the most dazzling light in this field.
Everyone is coaxing something, even a woman with a personality like Peony is a little shy, holding a cup of brown sugar jujube tea in her hand, with a somewhat twisted and pinched demeanor. When I ran to the door, I happened to see the surprising appearance of the peony. Tang Jiuyuan's parents sat next to Niu Sanlang Niu Chishui, looking at Peony and smiling from ear to ear. Tang Siyuan saw an old woman coming over tremblingly, and hurriedly got up and asked her to sit.
The old lady was not polite, she sat down next to Fourteen Niang steadily, and looked at Peony with a pair of eyes, not knowing whether she was looking at Peony's beautiful appearance or Peony's face. Seeing that the peony lowered her head, she smacked her mouth and said to the fourteenth mother sitting next to her: "What a blessing, what a blessing!" The girl is blessed, and Jiuyuan is lucky! ”
"The wife smiled, but she couldn't praise Jiuyuan! Look at his proud look, this is Jiuyuan blessed by his ancestors! Otherwise, how could the sister of the Zhuo family look down on him? Although she said this, in fact, Fourteen Niang had already twitched with joy. Hearing the comments of the elder Mrs. Yi, thinking that she is the old man in this room and the mother of Niu Ye, she is even more energetic.
looked at his son who was sending cigarettes, and looked at the peony with a smile like a flower, and his heart was as sweet as eating honey. Thinking that when Peony served tea to his son just now, Jiuyuan did not hesitate at all, and presented the prepared red envelope, and Fourteen Niang couldn't help but be proud of her son's alert turnaround. And Peony accepted the red envelope without the slightest hesitation, and Fourteen Niang felt that she was going to snicker.
And that's it!
The custom in Xiangchu is that when both men and women meet to see each other, they will generally call the elders and friends of both sides. Make an appointment with a proper matchmaker, or an elder's family. Nowadays, it seems that there are still people who go to the downtown to see from afar, which is not very sure; There are also people who are inexplicably seen on a lively occasion, which is not confident in themselves; There are also those who know the other party's family background and only look at it unilaterally, which is their own advantage.
Anyway, there are all kinds of blind dates, but they are the mainstream of this era. In the end, no matter what the situation is, as long as you like the other party, you can smoothly propose and hire. However, this key link is that when the woman serves tea to the man, the man will generally send the prepared red envelope without hesitation. One can reflect the man's atmosphere and approval, and also expresses his firm determination.
There is also a saying for this red envelope, which is called the gift letter of the object, which is a sign of agreeing to marry both parties.
In fact, Fourteen Niang also knew very well in her heart that it was not the first time that Peony and her son had met, and the two of them had already affirmed each other in their hearts. But today, I called everyone over, one is to give Niu Sanniang, the matchmaker, a face, and the other also reflects the importance that my family attaches to peonies. Because of the presence of the Niu family, both families already know each other very well. The reason why Fourteen Niang is happy is that Peony is not only beautiful, but also has an older brother who went to college and came out to work, which is a very decent thing in the township.
Whose parents are unhappy with their children? Although her son was not admitted to university, he was a rare high-achieving student in the promotion hall, and Fourteen Niang was still very proud. Seeing that her son was successful, Fourteen Niang's heart naturally blossomed, but inadvertently saw the gloomy face of the grandmother on the side, Fourteen Niang chuckled in her heart, but she didn't get too carried away, and slowly restrained the smile on her face.
Others don't know, but Fourteen Niang understands it very well in her heart. His nephew Tang Shuangyuan was frustrated with officialdom and ran out to do business with others, which seemed a little unreliable to the villagers. After all, although Tang Shuangyuan is not as highly educated as Jiuyuan, it is also a talent that the village focuses on cultivating. married a fancy cousin and came back, and arranged to teach in the school.
However, it seems that something happened some time ago, although others did not spread it, but Fourteen Niang knew that Shen Su was not good now. Although I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Master Peng, Master Peng suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and it sounds like he went back to his hometown, but only the ghost knows where he went. When she thought of this, Fourteen Niang's demeanor was restrained again, so as not to stimulate her concubine.
Things were going smoothly when a voice came from the kitchen saying that the rice was steamed. Niu Sanniang happily beckoned everyone and said that they were going to make glutinous cakes, so she arranged for the young people to carry the stone nest in, and the guests and girls helped clean up the table. At this time I saw the rose coming towards me, and my heart was pounding and confused. Sure enough, she smiled at me, and when she passed by, she gently told me to go to the road.
I saw a red shadow appear in the sky like a cloud. Her light and jumping figure is still so charming and heart-beating. But suddenly, this brilliant cloud in front of me was torn apart, and the beautiful red was actually struck away, and it turned into a trace of red blood in front of me. I felt a chill in my heart, and I almost screamed.
When I looked at it again, Rose stood quietly under the big wax tree, looking like a demure fairy, and I almost suspected that my eyes were glazed, and I looked at her so stupidly. (To be continued.) )
