Chapter 126: Marriage
That day, although Li Yin had something in his heart. But because I haven't seen my father and sister for a long time, I still have a lot of fun with them. Ah Xing's father and daughter had dinner in Li Yin's courtyard before returning home in Hufu's carriage.
There seem to be a lot of things during this time, not long after Li Yin's full moon, A-Xing's neighbor, the third aunt's daughter Xiaoxi, also got married.
Although Ah Xing and Xiaoxi do not have a deep relationship, Xiaoxi seems to be Ah Xing's best friend before, and the third aunt has always taken care of Ah Xing, so on the day Xiao Xi got married, Ah Xing specially asked the theater for a day off to help them.
On the day of Xiaoxi's wedding, the alley was very lively, and the neighbors came to congratulate them, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Xiaoxi's house was also crowded with people, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.
Ah Xing came to Xiaoxi's house with her father, Li Runfu was stopped by some acquaintances and chatted as soon as she entered the door, and Ah Xing walked through the hall and went directly to Xiaoxi's room to find her. Some people who had never seen A Xing suddenly saw an elegant woman walking by, and their eyes couldn't help but stick to her, and they asked others who this beautiful little girl was.
Ah Xing didn't know what everyone was talking about her behind her. She went straight into Xiaoxi's room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiaoxi sitting in his room with a shy face, wearing a wedding dress made by himself, his hair was combed into a bun, and his face was powdered.
The third aunt sat next to her and held her hand, with a reluctant expression, whispering something, Xiao Xi couldn't help nodding, listening to it, tears were rolling in her eyes.
The third aunt took out a handkerchief from her body to wipe her tears for her daughter, and said, "Silly child, women always have to get married, how can they stay with their parents for the rest of their lives?" Don't cry, wipe away your tears, the fat powder is going to be spent. ”
Xiaoxi wiped her tears and nodded.
Ah Xing walked over and said to Xiaoxi with a smile: "Xiaoxi, congratulations, you are a bride!" Oh, I'm so ashamed, it's a bride with a crying nose! ”
Xiaoxi looked up at Ah Xing, and said with a smile: "Ah Xing, don't laugh at me, when you get married, I want to see if you cry!" ”
Ah Xing smiled and sat down on the other side of Xiaoxi. took out a delicate small box from his side, handed it to Xiaoxi and said, "This is my little gift to you, purely my heart, do you like it or not?" ”
Xiaoxi still has a child's heart, and when she sees the gift, she smiles, she happily takes the gift from A-Xing's hand and opens it gently. Inside the box is a turquoise jade jade bracelet, crystal clear, warm and bright, and you can see that it is worth a lot of money.
The third aunt saw it next to her, and she gasped with an "oh", and hurriedly said, "Ah Xing, your gift seems to be too valuable!" ”
Ah Xing smiled indifferently, took out the jade bracelet and put it on Xiaoxi's wrist, the green and translucent bracelet lined Xiaoxi's round wrist more white, Ah Xing was very satisfied with this effect, and said: "I saw this bracelet, I felt that Xiaoxi must look good on it, and now it seems that my vision is really not bad," she turned her head and said to the third aunt with a smile: "The third aunt can rest assured." The bracelet was beautiful, but it didn't cost much silver. The most important thing is that Xiaoxi likes it! She raised her eyes to look at Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, do you like it?" ”
Xiaoxi touched the bracelet, smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and said, "I like it, thank you A-Xing!" ”
A Xing smiled, she knew that the third aunt's family was poor, and she didn't prepare a good dowry for her daughter. But a woman must always have a few pieces of jewelry that she can handle, so as not to let her husband's family look down on it, this bracelet, A Xing spent almost 50 taels of silver, I am afraid that it is more expensive than all the dowries of Xiaoxi combined, 50 taels of silver is nothing for A Xing now, and it is very worthwhile to use this money to help friends who have grown up together since childhood have a good start in her husband's family!
After chatting with Xiaoxi for a few words, Ah Xing leaned over to the third aunt and asked in a whisper, "Third aunt, did the relative you told me last time come today?" ”
The third aunt pursed her lips and smiled: "It turns out that you still remember this matter." ”
"Of course, it's a big deal to continue the strings for my father!" Ah Xing said seriously
The third aunt patted her on the back and said appreciatively, "What a filial daughter!" Then he pointed to a woman in a dark red shirt in the room and said to A-Xing, "I'm talking about her!" ”
Ah Xing looked in the direction of the third aunt's finger, but saw a woman in her 20s, with a slender figure, fair skin, and a fairly delicate face, looking gentle and virtuous. And Liu Guihua is a completely different type.
The third aunt said in Ah Xing's ear: "My cousin's name is He Juan, she is 27 years old this year, I have already told you about the situation last time, what do you think?" ”
Ah Xing nodded: "I think it's not bad, but I think it's useless." It must be good for my father! Her eyes lit up, she looked at the third aunt and said excitedly: "Why don't we create a chance for them to get to know each other later, and see how they react?" ”
Not only is the feeling of the father, but the feeling of this woman is also very important, after all, feelings are two-sided things.
The third aunt smiled: "You ghost spirit, okay, just do as you say!" ”
It didn't take long for the sedan chair to come to the door.
Xi Niang helped Xiaoxi put on a red hijab, and then carried her on the sedan chair. Ah Xing followed out to have a look. I happened to see a young man in a red wedding dress riding on a big horse, smiling, looking very happy. Ah Xing looked at him attentively and saw that he looked ordinary, but he had a broad forehead, a round nose, plump cheeks, and a very amiable appearance, so he should be a good person to get along with. Ah Xing couldn't help but be happy for Xiaoxi in her heart.
After Xiaoxi got into the sedan chair, the musicians shook their heads and blew the suona, and the firecrackers crackled. The bridegroom happily greeted his bride and walked towards his house.
The guests of the bride's family followed suit, and the male family ordered many sedan chairs and carriages to pick up the women's guests. Li Runfu saw that there were many guests and there were not enough carriages, so he contributed his own carriage. A-Xing's eyes rolled. An idea was born in her heart, she smiled and whispered in the third aunt's ear, the third aunt nodded again and again, with a smile on her face, and said, "Good idea, good idea, just do what you say." ”
Ah Xing and the third aunt went their separate ways, Ah Xing walked to her father's carriage and helped greet the guests to get on the bus, and after a while, the third aunt pulled He Juan over. The third aunt said to Li Runfu: "Brother Li." Help take my cousin over, the carriage over there can't sit down, she's a woman, and I don't worry about letting her walk over! ”
Li Runfu looked at his carriage and was a little embarrassed: "But my carriage is already full!" ”
Ah Xing smiled and said to her father: "Dad, let this aunt sit in the front of the car with me, there are many people today, and I can't take care of so much." As he spoke, he walked to He Juan's side and pulled her hand into the driver's seat of the carriage. Li Runfu felt that his daughter was reasonable, so he no longer objected and got into the carriage from the other side. In this way, Ah Xing sat in the middle, and Li Runfu and He Juan sat on either side of her.
Seeing that her father didn't even look at He Juan, Ah Xing was a little anxious, so she said to her father: "Daddy, this is the third aunt's cousin, why don't you say hello?" ”
Li Runfu listened to his daughter's words, and also felt that it was not good to snub the guests like this, so he turned his head and smiled at He Juan and said, "I'm a rough person, I don't understand the rules, don't be weird sister!" At this time, Li Runfu was nourished by Ah Xing's daily nutritious meal, and his skin was smooth and smooth, and he regained a lot of self-confidence since he made money by driving, plus his facial features were already well-born, so this smile had a little taste of Yushu in the wind, which reminded Ah Xing of the "Uncle Beauty" that is often written on the Internet. Ah Xing hurriedly turned her head to observe He Juan's reaction, and saw that the latter lowered his head a little shyly, and his face was flushed.
Ah Xing was secretly happy in her heart, judging from He Juan's reaction, it seemed that she should have some meaning for her father, but when she saw her father's casual face, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, this He Juan is gentle and lovely, it is a completely different type from the spicy and refreshing Liu Guihua, why does Daddy still seem to be indifferent?
Is it because you haven't been familiar with each other yet?
In the next journey, Ah Xing's mouth never stopped, and she kept talking to He Juan beside her, the topic always revolved around Hu Juan's advantages, and from time to time pulled her father into their conversation.
It's like this
"Auntie, the plum blossoms on your handkerchief are so beautiful. Did you embroider it? ”
He Juan replied shyly: "I embroidered it, but the stitching is not good, which makes the girl smile!" ”
"No, it's very well embroidered, this plum blossom looks like the real thing!" Ah Xing praised repeatedly, then turned around, shook the handkerchief slightly in front of her father's eyes, and said, "Daddy, look, is Auntie's plum blossom embroidered very well?" ”
Who knew that Li Runfu turned his head and said: "Ah Xing, don't make trouble, I'm in a hurry!" The corners of Ah Xing's mouth twitched, and she said secretly in her heart: Even if you take a little look, it's fine. Ah Xing turned her head and saw a look of disappointment flashing in He Juan's eyes.
Ah Xing made persistent efforts and said, "Auntie, I heard that you can cook a good dish, and you have prepared a meal for ten people by yourself before!" The people who ate it were full of praise! What a capability! ”
He Juan said modestly: "Where, it's just these people who lift me up, I can't do it really!" ”
Ah Xing smiled and said: "Auntie, don't be modest, we have all heard from the third aunt about you, and they all say that your female celebrity cooking skills are first-class, and you have received a lot of praise!" She turned her head back to her father, "Isn't it, Daddy?" ”
Li Runfu drove the carriage and replied absentmindedly: "Did the third aunt say it?" I don't quite remember! ”
He Juan's face suddenly twisted, and Ah Xing's face stiffened with a smile, and then laughed dryly: "My father has a bad memory." "I can't wait to open my father's head to see if it's made of wood!
Ah Xing felt that her father was smashing the field, so in the next time, she no longer talked to her father, but just chatted with He Juan about some trivial things in daily life, she led He Juan to say so many things, mainly because she wanted her father to understand that He Juan was a good candidate for a good wife and mother, but it seemed that Li Runfu seemed to be completely focused on the road, and he didn't listen to their conversation at all, which made Ah Xing's heart full of frustration.
Arriving at the destination, A-Xing got out of the car dejectedly. He Juan also had a sullen expression, no longer looking at Li Runfu, Ah Xing saw He Juan's expression, and felt that this time the matter was just in vain. Frustrated, I can't help but hate my father's incompetence!
Xiaoxi's husband's family is relatively well-off, and the house is larger than that of A-Xing and Xiaoxi's house, with a relatively spacious front yard and backyard, and there are seven or eight rooms in the house, with all the utensils and furniture in it. Xiaoxi will not suffer hardship if she marries.
At noon, it was a banquet at the man's house, the food was average, but the atmosphere was very lively, the sound of toasts and laughter was endless, in such a joyful atmosphere, even A-Xing couldn't help but be persuaded to have a glass of wine, fortunately, the wine was not strong, and there was no other feeling except for some dizziness after drinking.
A Xing's table is full of female dependents, in addition to He Juan, there are several other women, all of whom are relatives of Xiaoxi's family. During this period, Ah Xing and He Juan said a few words, but felt that He Juan's attitude was not as enthusiastic as at the beginning, Ah Xing had the heart to say a few words to the third aunt, but the third aunt did not come to the man's house, so she had to give up.
After dinner, Ah Xing went to visit Xiaoxi's new house, the new house was red, Xiaoxi sat on the edge of the bed and lifted the hijab to talk to Ah Xing. also showed Ah Xing his dowry.
The bed covers are made by Xiaoxi, the mandarin duck playing in the water on the quilt and pillow is embroidered by Xiaoxi one by one, Xiaoxi showed Ah Xing these, with a happy expression on her face, she said to Ah Xing: "Ah Xing, you are 14 years old, and you are going to start preparing for these, it took me almost half a year to prepare for these, your stitching is worse than me, I am afraid it will take a year to catch up, now is the right time to prepare." ”
Ah Xing touched the pair of cross-necked mandarin ducks on Xiao Xijin's quilt, and the mandarin duck eyes were vivid as if they were real. Ah Xing imagined the picture of Xiaoxi embroidering these at home, and a special feeling suddenly rose in her heart, when Xiaoxi was doing this, her heart should be full of sweetness, so what about her? Will she also have a time in this world when she embroiders her dowry with sweetness?
There shouldn't be, Xiaoxi is sweet because she thinks about her husband, but what about her? Who should she be thinking about?
Xiaoxi suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Before I came today, I saw a lot of people asking my mother about you, and I heard my mother say that there are a few families in it who are not bad." Ah Xing, you have to listen to me, prepare the dowry early, maybe it won't be long before you propose to your father."
Ah Xing raised her head and looked at Xiaoxi, "Propose?" ”
Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, you're 14 years old, isn't it normal to propose?" When I'm your age, the family affair has already been decided," she affectionately grabbed Ah Xing's arm and said with a smile: "Maybe by this time next year, I will come to drink your wedding wine!" ”
Ah Xing smiled, didn't make a sound, she wasn't in a hurry at all, she thought to herself, after those who proposed marriage inquired about her situation, I was afraid that they would dispel the idea of proposing!
