Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Bad Wedding
Finally crossed the courtyard safely, and nothing was torn apart.
The willow tree felt a little calmer, and carefully crossed the brazier with the herbs with red silk.
Crossing the brazier is an important part of getting married, it is to drive away all the evil energy on the bride's body before entering the door, and the more the fire, the better.
The matchmaker shouted loudly: "Exorcise demons and exorcise evil spirits, and the family will prosper and everything will prosper." ”
Liu Gan, who was standing on one side, poured a cup of white wine into the brazier, and the flames in the brazier suddenly burst out.
In order to drive away evil spirits thoroughly, some rich and noble families will add such a link, which makes vanilla scream.
The villagers laughed good-naturedly, but before the laughter fell, the sparks of the basin splashed, the vanilla was nothing, and the groom's robe of the willow tree beside her was instantly ignited by the splashed sparks, and half of her body was burned in the blink of an eye.
Liu Changhai panicked when he saw it, picked up the water cylinder, poured it on the willow tree, tore off the groom's robe and threw it on the ground.
The courtyard that was boiling abnormally just now, was silent in an instant, the needles could be heard, all the eyes were only staring at the center of the courtyard, just now it was still graceful, and the groom who was blackened by the smoke at this time didn't know what to say.
Ge Xiucai, who has always been good friends with Willow, sneered and said: "The fire burns the prosperity, the fire burns the prosperity, Brother Liu will be able to take the spring exam and come back." ”
Liu Changhai took the opportunity to take his son back to the house, and the rough cloth groom's robe that he had prepared was still there, and he put it back on.
Liu Changhai took the burnt groom's robe, and when he saw that the dark green purse was intact, he reached out and handed it back to Liushu.
Willow took it, ready to be tied around his waist.
"Wait!" The shopkeeper Huang stepped forward with a gloomy face, snatched the purse, looked at it carefully, threw it to the willow tree again, and glanced at the groom's robe.
Huang Wangcai turned his head and said to the other party: "Shopkeeper Fang, your kindness Huang has received it, but it is just such a farming family, although the dog is ignorant, he doesn't care about it." ”
After speaking, Lian Li ignored Liu Changhai and Liu Shu, the two main families, and directly threw up his sleeves, got into the carriage and left!
I don't know if it's because the catkins are too careful, when the yellow shopkeeper left, he still smiled in the direction where he was, which made people puzzled.
Zhao Hong couldn't help but be curious, and said close to the catkins' ear: "You made this again?" It won't be my business again, will it? ”
The catkins really shook their heads, no, nods.
The matter was simple, the catkins were smeared with alkali and flour in the seams of the groom's silk robe.
The alkali has a strong destructive effect on the silk, making the silk rotten, and with a little force, it is torn open, and the flour inside is also sprinkled everywhere in the clothes.
The flour is flammable, and when it catches fire, the strange scene just now occurs.
As for why the shopkeeper Huang looked at the purse and why he threw up his sleeves and left, she really didn't know what was going on, I was afraid that only the parties Fang Zheng and Liu Shu knew.
Fang Zheng did not recover the Huang shopkeeper, walked to Liu Changhai, took the purse, his face changed slightly, and said in a low voice: "This is specially made in the jade embroidery workshop operated by the Huang shopkeeper, this style, in the entire Jiangyin County, only the Huang shopkeeper is using it, I heard a few days ago that he was stolen from the purse, and now he appears here, how can you let him not be angry!" ”
Feeling that the shopkeeper Huang was smiling deeply when he was leaving, Fang Zheng carefully inspected the half-burned groom's robe, pinched out two copper coins from the tattered cuffs, and his face became completely now, and said to Liu Changhai: "Father-in-law, where did you buy this groom's robe?" This is a dark robe, which is only worn for yin marriages, and there is guide money in it. ”
Liu Changhai's head "buzzed", his body was crooked, and he almost fell, his eyes were red, and he looked at Liu Cuihong, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Liu Shu gritted his teeth and said: "Brother-in-law, fortunately, the shopkeeper Huang has left, God knows this matter, you know it, I know, hide it first, and then talk about it after the wedding." ”
Everything can only be done this way.
The willow tree was bleeding in his heart, pretending to be okay on his face, worshipping heaven and earth with vanilla, and sent to the cave room.
At the beginning of the banquet, the dishes were very popular, and although everyone was busy eating the banquet, the gossip in their eyes could not be hidden.
It is in response to the old saying: blessing is incomparable, disaster is not a single line, willow, happy too early.
After a while, Ge Shusheng ran to the thatched house with his stomach in his hands, followed by Mr. Li, and then ......
Soon, the thatched huts were overcrowded, and even the thatched huts of the neighbors on the left and right were used.
Zhao Hong looked at Liu Wu in surprise, Liu Wu hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, violently saying that this matter had nothing to do with her, and it was impossible for her to make fun of so many people.
After a while, Mr. Li angrily took out the half-torn book from the thatched house and said angrily: "Willow! That's what you're all about! Wipe your ass with a good book in a thatched hut? You don't have to go back to Wenchang Academy!! ”
His stomach was uncomfortable again, and Mr. Li had to go back to the hut again, not forgetting to take the half of the book.
Willow's head "buzzed" loudly, and he had forgotten to beg Mr. Li again.
These days are busy getting married, and Willow has not read; And because I think the thatched house at home is dirty, I usually use a gong bucket to solve the problem, so I didn't find that the books were lost at all!
Liu Changhai's head was stunned, and Mrs. Liu said angrily: "Changhai, don't go and invite Lang Zhong quickly, if someone dies, our old Liu family will be finished." ”
Liu Changhai was like an initiation, and hurriedly asked people to invite Hua Langzhong, saying that there was a patient in the Liu family, but Hua Langzhong only replied with two words: no time!!
The person who went to invite Langzhong was a clever one, and casually said another village man with a bad stomach surnamed Zhang, and Hua Langzhong said that he would arrive soon!!
Mrs. Liu knew that this was Hua Langzhong's opinion on yesterday's events, and he was playing his temper and not treating Lao Liu's family.
Liu Taigong was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Zhou angrily, and said angrily: "It's all good things you did!! ”
Li Lizheng helped the crumbling Liu Taigong and said to Liu Changhai: "Go find Uncle Niu, and all the people from the academy will be sent back to the county medical hall!! ”
Poor scholars of Wenchang Academy, their eyes are above the top on weekdays, when they come, they take the carriage of the yellow shopkeeper, and when they go back, they each hold their stomachs, with a miserable face, sit in the old ox cart, swagger through the city, through ten miles and eight villages, into Jiangyin County, into the medical hall.
Only one day, the news that "the scholars of Wenchang Academy participated in the wedding, greedy and bad stomach" went away, and instantly became the headline talk of the people of Jiangyin County after tea and dinner.
Mrs. Liu and Li Li sat in the courtyard, looking at the people standing in the courtyard with a dark face, like the county master who tried the case.
Li Lizheng said with a dark face: "This is no longer the old Liu family's own business, but the reputation of the entire Liuhe Village, if it is found out, it will be punished severely." ”
Li Lizheng's eyes were fixed on Zhao's body, and he said with a cold face: "Zhao's, the big guy has eaten the stomach of the 'Four Happiness Pills' you made, you can talk about it." ”
Zhao snorted lightly and said, "Li Zheng, you can't find me in this matter." I made 'Four Happiness Balls' early in the morning and sent them over, but in addition to sending them to Liu's family, I also made three more servings, in addition to keeping one at home and going back to eat at night, I also gave one to Liu Changdi's family and my uncle's family one each, they are all here, if you don't believe it, you can ask them, have the family had diarrhea after eating? ”
Zhao Jinsheng and Liu Changdi walked out of the crowd, proving that they had not heard that their family had eaten bad stomachs.
The two came over early in the morning to help, and Li Li was afraid that everyone would not be convinced by what the two said, so he sent someone to the Liu family and the Zhao family to see if there was anything wrong with the person who ate the balls.
The balls of Liu Changdi's family were eaten by both He and Liu Mao, and the two of them had nothing to do;
Zhao Jinsheng's family is eaten by the old mother and the youngest grandson, and there is nothing to do.
Zhao's chest straightened, and he said with a straight temper: "Lizheng, take a look, it's not my family's balls, this silver is not to be left behind." ”
Li Lizheng glanced at Liu Changdi and asked, "The fish is sold by your family?" ”
Liu Changdi panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That fish came up from the river, there can't be anything wrong......
Song suddenly realized: "Duke Liu, it must be his poison, I said why did you take the initiative to sell me fish, a piece of eight cents, my heart is black." ”
Seeing that Liu Changdi had nothing to say, and couldn't find it after holding it for a long time, Liu Wu secretly whispered a few words in Zhao Hong's ear.
Zhao Hong ran to the side of her mother-in-law Zhao, smacked her lips and said, "Aunt Song, don't rely on my family and Uncle Liu, my mother didn't serve the table because she cooked, but Uncle Liu sat at the banquet, can he still harm himself?" Also, Uncle Liu sells six fish, one fish per table, only six tables can be placed, there are eight tables in this yard, and the people at the eight tables have diarrhea. ”
Song was choked and didn't move.
Zhao Shi got reasonable, spat and said: "Li Lizheng, don't keep checking outsiders, let's check the old Liu family yourself, I heard that the wicker in the fourth room of the old Liu family was eaten the day before yesterday, and I also invited Hua Langzhong." ”
Mrs. Liu's face sank and asked, "Changtan, is there such a thing?" ”
Liu Changtan's face turned red, and he said stubbornly: "Old lady, there is such a thing, it is wicker greed, and it has nothing to do with eating." ”
Liu Taigong waved his hand impatiently and said, "It doesn't matter if it's up to you, take out all the remaining ingredients, so as not to suspect the big guys." ”
Liu Changhai and Liu Changjiang had no choice but to enter the house where the Zhou family was and took out the remaining two pieces of meat and half a chicken.
I saw that the meat had changed color, sticky, and smelled unpleasant, and if it was summer, it would definitely attract thousands of flies.
Mrs. Liu stood up angrily, pointed at the meat and scolded: "It's not summer, how can this meat be so bad?" It can't be the bad meat you bought, right? ”
As soon as Zhou saw that something was wrong, he sat on the ground and howled: "It's not that a thousand knives stole my family's meat, and I was afraid that I would lose it before I got it to the house, but I saw it badly......
Zhou was afraid of the cold, the kang in the house was burning hot, and he was afraid that things would be stolen, so he hugged the house all day long and watched, and when he found that the meat was bad, it was already the first night of his family.
If this is a repurchase, there is no time to talk about it, and the money is not allowed.
Zhou instructed Liu Cuihong not to say anything, washed the meat with water, and took it to the outside of the house to freeze it, and on the day of marriage, he took it to the house to thaw it, pretended to be fine, and continued to cook it for the big guys.
This meat first melted, rotted, and then frozen, and then melted, and the food made can be eaten as imagined, and it has become the main culprit of everyone's bad stomach, which is also something that catkins never expected.
