Chapter 219 is here
As soon as Youran and Qin Yanran came back from helping, they saw a few strange people at a glance.
"Big brother, big sister, are you back? We're helping my eldest cousin figure out how to get rid of the tension! Qin Siran saw that his brother and sister had doubts, and immediately spoke out to answer their questions.
"Forehead......" looked at them leisurely with black lines, "That's how you help?" ”
Seeing that Su Jingtong was about to be tortured without an image, the corners of his mouth twitched leisurely and Qin Yanran.
"I see, you're getting more and more helpful." glanced at them leisurely, then turned his head to Qin Yuran and said, "Brother, you take your cousin out for a walk, and by the way, the two brothers will talk about their hearts." ”
Qin Yanran understood the intention of leisurely, it was nothing more than to let him enlighten Su Jingtong and let him not be so nervous. So he nodded leisurely and agreed, "Okay." ”
"Well, cousin, I'm nervous right now, I don't want to go anywhere." Seeing that Youran wanted her cousin to lead her out, Su Jingtong was a little unhappy. He was now nervous about what was going to happen in a moment, and he was in the mood to go out for a walk! In case he doesn't behave well after a while, it's not just their Su family, but also the Qin family who rushed back for his business. So he must hurry up and think of a good way to calm himself down now.
"Can I be here? Let them continue to help me figure out a way, I really can't calm down now. Su Jingtong looked up at Youran, her eyes flashing with the desire to stay.
"Nope." Leisurely shook his head without thinking, walked towards him, and pulled him up from the chair he was sitting on. Then he pushed him out of the door from behind, and said as he went: "You will only get more and more nervous here, why don't you go out with my brother and find a place with a cleaner scenery and a better scenery to take a walk!" ”
"You're right, cousin, just listen to her! Let's go, I'll walk around with you......" In the heart of Qin Yanran, who is a powerful favorite sister, everything his sister says is the truth. Now that his own You'er has given orders, of course he has to implement them seriously. walked over and grabbed Su Jingtong's arm, and quickly pulled him out of the room.
successfully persuaded Su Jingtong to go out for a break, and clapped his hands leisurely. Turning around and walking back to the room, he saw a few people left, so he asked, "Do you have nothing to do?" "Otherwise, how could you be bored and toss Su Jingtong here?
"Uh...... No......" Qin Siran's eyes flickered with a weak heart, and he replied with some lack of confidence.
Leisurely glared at her little sister angrily, don't think she doesn't know her mind that she doesn't have much to do to watch the excitement, "Okay, I don't have time to talk about you now." Wait a minute, you and Sister Jingrou and Sister Jingduo will come to the kitchen and help me! ”
“…… Good. Qin Siran spit out his little tongue mischievously, and then nodded obediently in agreement.
"Cousin, what are we going to do?" Seeing that Youran had called the girls away, Su Jingda exchanged glances with several brothers and the two brothers of the Mu family before asking.
"You guys?" originally wanted to call Qin Siran and the three of them, and then they would go back to the kitchen together; As soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Su Jingda's inquiry, "You guys just have a good rest here!" Wait a minute, a few of you are busy. ”
After saying that, the four sisters left together, leaving only the bored brothers with big eyes and small eyes.
The name of the girl who set up a family affair with Su Jing is Zhao Yingru, and she is a person from Zhaojia Village, a neighboring village of Qingxi Village. Zhao Yingru's father is a showman, who broke his leg when he was young and missed the time for the scientific expedition; Later, because the family was poor and had no extra money to pay for tuition, Zhao Yingru's father had to give up continuing his studies. However, this old man Zhao was a little ambitious, and since then, he has set up a primary school in the village to teach the enlightenment of children from several nearby villages. Over the years, the Zhao family still has a small reputation in this area.
Soon after leisurely distracting Su Jingtong, a person hurriedly ran from outside the village to Su's side. As soon as he entered the gate of Su's house, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Here, here, the dowry giver is here!" ”
After he shouted like this, the already lively courtyard became even more noisy.
"Yo--this is coming? We're not done yet! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, there's still time, everyone just hurry up."
"What about the eldest lady of the Su family? Where did you go? Why don't you send someone out to prepare for a welcome? ”
"I just called someone to inform, and I'll be right over......"
"Big guy, look at what else you haven't prepared?"
"Hey, you're all quick with your hands and feet, wait a while and don't let the people of Zhaojia Village see what is not coming."
“……”
As soon as you say a word, I say a word, and time passes in the noise of this group of people. The people who came to give the dowry from Zhaojia Village soon arrived at the gate of the Su family. The people who went out to greet Su Jingtong's father, two uncles and two aunts, and a leisurely father and mother. After the two sides met and exchanged pleasantries, the Zhao family was invited into the house.
The marriage custom in this area of Qingxi Village is to send large dowries two days in advance, and the main things are beds, large cabinets, stuffy cabinets, dressers and the like. If the mother's life is better, there will be more big things to accompany him; The life of the mother's family is not very good, and the bride's wedding may only have a bed, because the bed is an indispensable object.
Zhao Yingru's family is having a good life, the two brothers above are good, and they can help their sisters buy dowries, so the large items sent over this time are full of three ox carts. The first car was fitted with a large carved bed made of mahogany, which was already top-notch in the countryside. The second car was equipped with a large vermilion lacquer cabinet, a stuffy cabinet in the style of a triple cupboard, a dresser, and two camphor wood boxes.
The third car was loaded with only a few smaller items, a pair of dressers, a pair of suitcases, and a spring stool.
The Zhao family was all invited into the house, and the task of unloading the car was under the management of the Su brothers and the two brothers of the Mu family. The few of them glanced at each other, and finally understood what they meant by what they had just said as they left.
Along the way, the Zhao family was very satisfied when they saw the blue brick courtyard of the Su family. I have long heard that this family is not only the family of the village chief of Qingxi Village, but also that they are related to a wealthy lord in Nancang County. At first, the family thought it was a rumor, but now that they saw the beautifully dressed couple walking aside, they were already convinced.
"Come on, everyone, please come in." Su Xiuzhong led the group into the main hall, and at this time, there were already five elders sitting in the upper seat of the hall.
"Let me introduce to you, the one sitting on the high seat is the old lady of our Su family, my grandmother Su Wang." As soon as Su Jingtong's second uncle Su Xiuchang entered the door, he introduced the Zhao family.
"The old lady is polite." The highest middle-aged person from the Su family is the same generation as Su Jingtong's father, and when they saw the great-grandfather at this time, they all saluted respectfully.
"You're welcome, you're rushing here early in the morning, it's hard work, hurry up and take a seat!" The third uncle smiled kindly and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of inviting you to sit, motioning for all the big guys to sit down and talk.
"Yes, then it's better to be respectful than to obey." A young man in the Zhao family, who appeared to be in his thirties, saluted as a representative.
The big guys all took their seats, and suddenly the whole hall was full. Su Xiuchang continued what he had just said and continued to introduce to both parties. After some acquaintance, a group of people began to talk about homely things.
When he walked in with a group of servants, there were already talking and laughing inside. She entered the main hall with a decent smile on her face, and bowed to the elders before speaking: "Grandma Zeng, You'er is here to bring you some fruit and refreshments." ”
The third uncle nodded lovingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, You'er, don't be busy, pay more attention to rest!" ”
"Yes, Grandma Zeng can rest assured! You're awake. A leisurely smile in response.
After explaining his intentions, he leisurely beckoned the maids in; I saw them each holding a tray in their hands, and on the tray were assorted platters made of various fruits, including five-color pastries made by themselves this morning, Pu'er tea, and some nut platters such as peanuts, melon seeds, chestnuts, and pecans. In short, there are all kinds of things, all of which the Zhao family has not seen.
After seeing that the maidservants had placed all their things, they thought about bowing and retreating. At this time, the third uncle seemed to remember something, and asked her, "Why didn't you see your cousin?" Where did it go? ”
Leisurely looked up at the old lady and the situation in the hall, and knew that this was to let the Zhao family take a good look at Su Jingtong, and at the same time, it could be regarded as the last inspection.
"I just asked my cousin and my brother to help me with some errands, and I think I should be back here too." smiled leisurely and said generously, "I'll send someone to inform him to come over." ”
The third uncle nodded with satisfaction and responded. At the same time, I couldn't help but praise leisurely, facing a room full of people, and being able to speak and act so generously and decently, it is really a model for everyone's ladies. Today, she has set an example, and her Su family's face has also increased a lot.
Leisurely bowed and exited the living room, and then arranged for Wanyun to go to Su Jingtong to come back. And she took the others back to the kitchen and continued to preside over the overall situation.
And after leaving leisurely, there was a sound of inquiry in the living room. The person who asked the question was a woman, who looked about the same age as Qin's mother, and judging by her words and deeds, it seemed that she was a couple with the man who had just replied as a representative. In other words, this woman is the eldest aunt of the bride Zhao Yingru.
"I wonder whose family that girl was just now? Listen to her call the old lady, you are Grandma Zeng, but the daughter of the embroidered peach family? ”
