The next day, when he got up early in the morning, Shen put on the new clothes for the New Year, and took out the pile of flowers brought by the shopkeeper Zhou to put on Ziqing.

Ziqing hurriedly said: "Mother, I want to give it to the second aunt, the bride is more beautiful to wear." Shen poked Ziqing twice with his finger, turned around and left.

Ziqing only knew that the eldest brother was going to take the second brother and her to get married today, and it was estimated that she would have to live at the second aunt's house tonight, and she couldn't come back because of the long journey. Shen told Zifu to be optimistic about his younger brothers and sisters.

When Ziqing's family arrived, the third mother-in-law was about to open Xia Yu's face, first took a hard-boiled hot egg and rolled it around Xia Yu's face, and then took a thin thread and rolled it on her face, the third mother-in-law gritted her teeth, and the second aunt grinned in pain, and opened her face, at this time it was already dawn, it was time to put on makeup, Ziqing didn't know the person who invited her to put on makeup, and later I heard that it was the daughter-in-law of the old man's aunt and cousin, and she was a whole person. The lipstick is sipped several times on the red paper, and the rouge is moistened with what water is used first, and then wiped on the face, and wiped evenly, fortunately, it is much better than imagined, and it is still more delicate. Ziqing always saw that the bridal makeup described in the novel was red rouge piled on her face, just like a monkey's buttocks.

After painting the makeup and starting to comb her hair, Ziqing took out the pair of piles of flowers, Qiuyu snatched them over, and asked where she bought such a beautiful pile of flowers, Ziqing said: "Someone else brought it from the capital, second aunt, you have to remember that this is a gift from Ziqing." ”

The capital is different, the style is good-looking, the workmanship is exquisite, the materials are high-quality, of course, the effect is not the same. In everyone's envy, Xia Yu began to change clothes, wearing yesterday's red cotton jacket, and there was a red wedding dress outside, embroidered with a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang.

Xia Yu sat on the bed, Zeng Ruiqing let off firecrackers, welcomed the guests into the door, the tea was served first, and the children who greeted the relatives got a red envelope. At this time, the visitors from the village also came to the door one after another, and they were going to start eating lunch, which did not have the red meat of yesterday's dinner, but was a steamed large slice of meat, and the quality of the dishes was worse than that of the dinner.

After the meal, the old man and Tian sat in the main hall, Tian's eyes were red again, choked, Xia Yu too, the bride and groom wanted to say goodbye to their father, kowtowed three times, and Tian gave the groom a red envelope. Zeng Ruiqing went out with Xia Yu on his back, Xia Yu had already covered his red hijab, and the red hijab was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Zeng Ruixiang set off a cannon at the door, the old man and Tian sent off guests at the door, the banquet was over, except for the old man and Tian, everyone else followed into the village, it turned out to be to enter the ancestral hall, at this time the female guests were not allowed to enter, Zeng Ruixiang put a firecracker when the newcomer entered the ancestral hall door, the bride was still carried out by her eldest brother on the sedan chair after worshipping, Zeng Ruixiang put a hanging, at this time, the drummers only played up, and the relatives were the unmarried juniors in the family. Shen was a little worried about Ziqing, but Ziqing strongly asked to follow, so Shen had no choice but to tell and admonish.

Sending relatives is Qiuyu, Ziping, Ziqing's three, Chunyu's three Mao and the eldest daughter Guiying, out of the village, the drummer stopped, the groom Zhou Tianqing walked next to the sedan chair, the other side is Qiuyu, Ziqing feels really far away, several children take wheelbarrows, one on each side, walk to a single-plank bridge, Ziqing looked down, said nothing dare to pass, legs tremble, is really trembling, the single-plank bridge from the water feels so high, the water is still flowing, look at it and dizzy, the wheelbarrow pushes people are not easy to walk, In the end, I still found someone to carry it, Qiu Yu also smiled and said that fortunately, I was only seven years old, and when I was older, I had to marry someone else.

The sun turned west and finally saw the bridge village, because the drummer began to blow, into the village, the second house is Zhou Tianqing's house, the white courtyard wall is very conspicuous, engraved with "Fudi", the courtyard door is pasted with red couplets, firecrackers sounded, the groom carried the bride into the door, his yard occupied a lot, and the cobblestone road was paved in the house, Ziqing turned back, the courtyard gate was very high, the courtyard wall on the door had an eaves, and there were weeds, there were four words on the lintel, it was "Jishan people's house", the east and west wings were not small, and they entered the main house, The child also got a red envelope and two copper plates.

The in-laws were sitting in the main hall, and at this time, the master of ceremonies began to shout, "One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and three husbands and wives worship each other," and was sent to the cave room when it was over, and the bride could only sit stupidly in the new room, Qiuyu secretly took some food and asked Ziqing to let off steam, for fear that people would see the joke. It didn't seem to be long after, there was a commotion outside, and everyone came in around the groom, Ziqing saw that her aunt used a rod scale to pick up the second aunt's hijab, and the second aunt's gentle bowing shook her aunt's eyes.

After a while, the banquet began, and the bride of the man's family took over the main meal, Ziqing and they were also invited out to sit at a table, and the groom's two brothers accompanied them to toast. Then the bride comes out and bows to the elders of the family and relatives, as well as to the older peers. Ziqing looked the same as last night, it was not interesting, turned around to look at the house, it was about the same size as the old house where Ziqing lived before, there were two rooms on each side of the hall, there was a kitchen in the back hall, and there were two rooms, and there were other houses when the back door went out, and there was a flat ground in the middle, and there were many tables and banquets.

After dark at night, in addition to the red candles at home, Ziqing also saw his aunt and his younger brother standing up in the middle of the hall with a stool, curious about what he was going to do, it turned out that there was a three-flower lantern hanging in the middle of the hall, and there were wicks in three directions, and the room was bright, it seemed that the conditions of the Zhou family were indeed much better than the Zeng family.

At this time, the relatives of the family fried to make a hole in the house, everyone coaxed, the bride took out the dried fruit from the quilt for everyone to eat, nothing more than red dates and peanuts, and also touched out two dry grapefruits, this Ziqing really didn't know what it meant, asked Zifu, it turned out that the local area is not called grapefruit, it is called orange, and the orange sound is sweet. The bridegroom took the orange, peeled it and ate a petal, and the people asked, "Is it sweet?" ”

"Sweet, so sweet." However, Ziqing looked at the dry appearance, it is estimated that it will not taste good, and it is difficult for Tian to preserve it until now. The crowd began to tease the bride and groom, and several people smeared the faces of the bride and groom with ash from the bottom of the pot, and they didn't know what time of the trouble, and called everyone out for supper. Later, everyone found a place to sleep indiscriminately.

Early the next morning, Ziqing was woken up, it turned out that Xia Yu got up early to cook and made a breakfast, put it on the table, and the in-laws sat in the main hall, the groom and the bride had to kneel and bow, today they had to change their mouths, and their mother-in-law wanted to change their mouths. Because it was the first day, and there was her mother's family there, Mrs. Zhou was busy asking Xia Yu to sit down. Ziqing and their eight children have a table, which is basically yesterday's leftovers.

Ziqing saw that the bride had changed into another new red cloth jacket today, and her hair was in a bun. After breakfast, Qiu Yu took Ziqing home, and Xia Yu reluctantly sent it to the entrance of the village.
