It is said that Zeng Ruiqing sat with a black face for a long time, and suddenly said to Zhou: "I will go to the second sister's house tomorrow to bring my father and mother back, and the days of living are not short, I am a natural genius." [~]”

Zhou didn't dare to ask the reason, presumably it was also related to today's events, so he had to agree.

Who knew that it rained lightly the next day, and it rained for several days, and Zeng Ruiqing couldn't move.

The news had already reached Qiao Village, and Xia Yu knew that Zixi was in the middle of the move, and also knew that Zixi would get married next month, so he discussed with the old man and the Tian family to send them home.

"Daddy, it's not my daughter who is chasing you, I also have to go over to say hello to my second brother, why don't we go back together." If it weren't for the bad day, maybe the second brother would have sent someone to pick us up. ”

The old man was both happy and disappointed when he heard it, and the joy was naturally because the façade of the Zeng family had added luster again, and the disappointment was that the second family did not send anyone to send a letter, which shows that he really didn't take him as a father to heart.

"Hmph, people have long forgotten about us, I wish we didn't go back to be an eyesore, who still remembers us?" Tian said.

"Don't forget, who raised you, who gave you medical advice, who hired someone to wait for you?" The old man glared at Tian.

Tian muttered into the house on crutches.

The rain had stopped, and the old man went out of the courtyard and looked out on the small slope at the entrance of the village, on the only path leading to the village. The old man knew that Zeng Ruixiang had been distracted from them, and he blamed him for being a father, ignoring this son since he was a child, and his son grew up with his grandmother, reading and writing, a good scholar, and forced to go to the field to do farm work, don't look at the thin body, ploughing the fields, planting seedlings and cutting rice, everything has been learned by gritting his teeth, and he has survived, so far, the old man still remembers the stubborn appearance of the child back then, gritting his teeth and pursing his mouth. Never complain or complain.

What really made Zeng Ruixiang start to chill and alienate them should be the time when Ziqing was calculated by Da Mao, the old man for the peace of the house. [~] forced Zeng Ruixiang to swallow this bitter fruit. Later things, one by one, one by one, all deviated from the track expected by the old man, and the old man wanted to help Zeng Ruixiang say a few words, but he was already unable to scratch the itch in his boots. There is no way to teach children, and there is no way to teach daughters. The old man could only swallow this bitter fruit by himself. But he didn't believe that such a kind son would really ignore him as a father.

Not to mention, Zeng Ruixiang really forgot to inform the old man, or Shen mentioned it, but it rained for a few days this day, the road was muddy, and Zeng Ruixiang didn't plan to put wine, so he thought that it would be the same a few days later.

It's not. As soon as the sky cleared, Zeng Ruixiang discussed with the Shen family, and sent Lin Xing to pick up the old man in the afternoon. This way. Zeng Ruiqing looked at the road, it was still more difficult for the ox cart to walk, it was better to wait another day, the ground was dry, and it would be the same if he went again. In this way, the old man has been picked up by Lin Xing.

Zeng Ruiqing secretly paused, thought about it again and again, and still found the old man to make peace, the old man looked at Zeng Ruiqing and said, "Son, it's not that your father won't help you." It was you who blocked the road, you threatened to break off the relationship, the second child gave you the stairs down, you didn't go down, I originally thought that the son was studying in the school, you see that the second child didn't care about the child. Delay for a year or two, maybe it's over, who knows that the son is all, and he actually made a big fuss in the school, and all his face was lost, you, you, let your father say what is good about you? ”

"Where did he give me the steps? Didn't you hear, that night, he pushed me so hard, what can I say? ”

"Why didn't you give the steps, Zishou became a parent, he didn't personally take the child to invite, you have to hold it, you just don't go. The result? Haven't you lost your reputation? ”

Zeng Ruiqing was silent when he heard this, sat for a while, didn't say anything, got up and left.

The good day of Zixi has arrived, the dowry was sent ten days ago, the Shen family and the Fu family are angry, Zixi is the youngest son, but it can't be higher than the three brothers in front of him, this was said to be good. Fu Jiatu is Zixi, of course, he won't care about these little things, and he said that he should be.

However, when the dowry was brought over, the Fu family was taken aback, because the things prepared by the Zeng family were not at all like those prepared by a poor family in the countryside, and it could be seen that it took some thought and some money, not only these, but the gift money was also given six hundred and sixty-six taels, which was really happy.

Zifu's family rushed back when it was dark on October 15. In the evening, everyone gave the son a gift, all of which were 100 taels of silver tickets, and the rest was to discuss the meeting gift to the bride.

"I'm a moneyless person, I have a lot of children, I don't have any income than you, I only prepared a set of pure gold noodles, the same as the one I gave you before." Liu Shi smiled first.

"Sister-in-law, you are crying poor, only prepare a set of pure gold noodles, how many sets do you plan to prepare?" Chen replied with a smile.

"That's it, we're all the same, take it out tomorrow, and all the brushes are pure gold, will my brother and sister think that we have discussed it?" Yang asked in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of, it means that we are united, and this large pile of gold is put out, and we can't shake everyone's eyes? In the future, the four brothers and sisters will change their sets every day, and they will not be the same? Ziqing said.

Yongsong and Shurui are older, and they are all shouting to pick up the bride, Yonglian Yongrong also looked at Liu, Liu smiled: "I don't care, tell your little father to go, it's good to ask your little lady for a big red envelope." ”

Yonglian Yongrong turned to look at Zixi, Zixi smiled and said, "Go, go, Yonglian, you are the biggest, take a good look at your younger brothers and sisters." ”

The children cheered, refusing to even go home to sleep, so they had to squeeze together with Zixi, "Let Xiaosi accompany this nephew and nephew for one night, and it will not be possible to accompany him tomorrow." Liu smiled.

Ziqing and Chen couldn't either. I had to give up.

Early the next morning, all relatives and friends came to the door, Xia Yu's family and Qiuyu's family came the earliest, wanting to help Zhang Luo do something, especially Zi'er's husband, who had great insight and helped carry the table and set up stools, Ziqing called all the young men in Qingyuan to help.

To Zeng Ruixiang and Shen's surprise, Zhou actually came, accompanied the old man and Tian to come in, Zeng Ruixiang looked at Shen, Shen looked at Zifu, Zifu said: "Let her." As long as it's not a troublemaker, don't bother with her, just know what to expect. ”

Zhou found an opportunity, first accosted Liu, and said, "The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, when did you come back?" Don't go to the eldest mother's house to sit? ”

"Yo, auntie, I don't dare, the threshold of my aunt's house is a little high, my father can't step into it, and I can't step on it." Liu said with a smile.

Zhou's face shook, just as Shen passed by, Zhou hurriedly pulled Shen and said: "Brother and sister, congratulations, the previous things were my fault with my sister-in-law, today for the sake of Zixi's good days, don't be like me." ”

"Sister-in-law, you go and coax a three-year-old child." After Shen finished speaking, he pulled Liu and walked away.

Zhou was annoyed, but he didn't dare to attack, and talked to a few concubines from the third mother-in-law's family, but unfortunately they left under the pretext, and in the end, her mother's brother and sister were also there, and they stood together and chatted.

In the afternoon, the dowry entered the door, and the door was crowded with people watching the excitement.

The first door is also four kinds of Ruyi, then a pair of pastel baby play bold bottles, a pair of blue and white porcelain bold bottles, and then eight gold, silver and jade jewelry, eight four seasons clothing, eight all kinds of jade porcelain ornaments, eight big red camphor wood boxes, eight futons, and a pair of floor-to-ceiling screens, as well as a pair of eight open ladies picture screens, large and small copper basins, all kinds of small pieces, etc., a total of fifty-eight lifts, zero and zero total full of the entire Xiyuan. The Fu family came with six bride-in-laws, opening the box and drying the dowry, while making the bed and quilt.

Liu and Ziqing were both pregnant and couldn't watch the ceremony directly, the two were crooked on the couch in Fuyuan, and Liu smiled and said: "I sent it aside that time, why is it like this today?" I'd like to see the excitement. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Isn't there me with you? Let's lie directly in the West Wing and listen to the excitement? ”

"What's so good about that? People come and go, they have all been beaten there, it is better to be here with me, send the maids to go, and tell me if there is anything new. ”

The bride entered the door, and when she entered the Xiyuan from the door of Fuyuan, Ziqing glanced at the window and said, "I'm not tall, I seem to be shorter than all of us." ”

After a while, Chen and Yang came in with a smile and said: "The fourth brother and sister can speak some simple local dialect, but she said that most of them will listen, and her personal maid will say that she is probably learning now, now, our mother doesn't have to worry." ”

At this time, the time for worship came, and a group of people came out with the bride in their arms, and Chen and Yang also went out.

When worshipping the church, because the master of ceremonies shouted in the local language, the bride's reaction was inevitably half a beat slower, this slow, when he got up, the groom stepped on the bride's skirt, and the bride stumbled, but fortunately, Zixi held the bride in time, which attracted laughter in the hall, and the husband and wife touched each other's heads when worshipping, and everyone laughed even more, but unfortunately, they could not peep into the bride's red face under the red hijab.

After kneeling, the bride's personal maid hurriedly stepped forward and helped the bride back to the new house, and the time to unveil her head was up.

After a while, I saw Yonglian walk in and said to Ziqing and Liu: "This little lady doesn't look as beautiful as Sanniang, and her brows are furrowed, I don't know if she was ugly just now, and she is a little angry?" ”

"Can't? What's wrong? Ziqing asked.

"Little kids, don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten what your mother taught you on weekdays? Liu Zhengse said.

At this time, Ziyu walked in, saw Yonglian pouting, and asked, "What's the matter, tell my sister-in-law, who is angry with you, sister-in-law is angry for you." ”

"It's nothing, the child is not sensible, talking nonsense, I said a few words to her."

At this time, the Chen family and the Yang family also walked in, and Ziyu took Yonglian out.

"How? When you see the bride, is it beautiful? Liu asked.

"Don't worry, no matter how beautiful it is, it's not as beautiful as my sister-in-law, if you don't believe it, you'll know it tomorrow." Chen laughed. (To be continued)
