.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
A group of people came with a bang, and went away in disgrace, and not even a single egg was left behind.
Walking out of the gate of the willow house, Lan Ya still spat on the door.
Mrs. Liu's second brother asked about what happened inside.
A few stupid women, you say a word, she says a word, add fuel and vinegar, fan the flames and exaggerate the incident infinitely.
"I know that a few of you uninformed women will do bad things, I know that the girl is in charge, you don't hold it well, and you have to divorce someone's mother, find a stepmother to grind her, it's strange if people don't get angry, it's really not brainy." Mrs. Liu's second brother taught with a gloomy face.
Mrs. Liu's third sister was very embarrassed, and said stiffly: "My little sister used to listen to me more when she was at home, and let her do whatever she wanted, but now let her set a candidate for granddaughter-in-law, and she still pushes back and pushes back, and lets her daughter-in-law and a girl bury us." ”
Mrs. Liu's second brother scolded in confusion, thinking that this sister was going back more and more, and glared at her with hatred, and said, "They don't look down on Feng Ya and Lan Ya, can't we still pick people from the girls around us?" The Liu family's business will get bigger and bigger in the future, and the money will flow like water, and we won't be able to get any benefit from your trouble. ”
The others were suspicious and asked him for information.
Mrs. Liu's second brother told the Liu family how much money they could earn by making koji rice noodles in a month, and what they are doing now is only a small part of it.
The shallow women were remorseful, and the third sister of Mrs. Liu slapped her thigh and shouted: "I really made a mistake this time, why don't we go back and accompany the little sister and ease the relationship?" ”
"It's late, you are still as easy to handle as your little sister as when you were at home, she is also the one whose grandson is going to marry a daughter-in-law, so she will naturally plan for her children and grandchildren, and in that family, when can she really be the master." Old lady Liu's second brother shook his head and said.
A dry man went home with a black face and a dejected head.
Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears sadly after a group of relatives from her mother's family left, and her face was sad and painful.
She couldn't figure it out, her brothers and sisters who had loved her since she was a child would unite to calculate her, and the affection of her relatives was really more important than money?
After Old Man Liu and the others came in to inquire about the situation, they sighed, how could they not have so many troubles when they lived in the village? As soon as they entered the city, everyone made up their minds.
After Mrs. Liu was explained by everyone, she was worried about her grandson's family affairs.
Liu Lanqing can no longer participate in the scientific examination, and the matter of starting a family naturally has to be put on the agenda.
"Grandmother, don't be too anxious, although my brother has broken off his career, he also has the fame of Xiucai. According to the environment of our family, everyone dare not expect extravagance, with a small jasper who can know books and etiquette, it is still successful. Liu Qingyan smiled and comforted Mrs. Liu.
Xie nodded in agreement and said, "It's just that I'm illiterate, so I wronged my husband." Now that I am marrying a daughter-in-law, I must find someone who can read and hyphenate, and I can no longer wronged my son. ”
Liu Bowen waved at Xie Shi and said with a smile: "The lady is virtuous and hardworking, how can her husband ever say that she is wronged?" ”
Xie Shi glared at him and said, "You didn't say it in your mouth, you must have said it in your heart." ”
Liu Bowen was stunned, and said in his heart, I really haven't said it!
Old Man Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Not only must you be able to know books and etiquette, but you must also be able to manage your family." ”
The person concerned, Liu Lanqing, stood aside and didn't dare to make a sound, his face was three points redder than that of a boiled prawn.
Mrs. Liu was worried and asked, "But where can I find such a girl?" ”
Mrs. Shi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly slapped the table and said, "It's easy, it's going to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month soon, and the Lantern Festival is a good time for girls and boys to see each other." When my son married his daughter-in-law, he found it at the Lantern Festival. ”
The crowd asked for more information with great interest.
It turns out that there is an ancient custom circulating in the city of Yuxi.
Every year during the Lantern Festival, as long as young men and women who have not yet married, they are free to go to the street to enjoy the lanterns and date on this night, and the elders in the family will not obstruct them. And those girls and guys who have not decided on their relatives can also take this opportunity to choose their favorite person.
Because of this ancient custom, there are many fewer blind marriages and dumb marriages in the city, and there are often some good stories of marriage.
After hearing this, everyone in the Liu family laughed and laughed, saying that this custom is very good, and they are waiting for the arrival of the Lantern Festival.
The willow tops on the moon, people are about after dusk!
Liu Qingyan thought that she would definitely go to see the scene of ancient men and women dating that day.
For several days in a row, Mrs. Liu's maiden relatives came to the door, all of them came with the same purpose, and some even hit Liu Qingyan with their ideas.
Mrs. Shi is very hot, she squats here every day, and there are still people who don't have the strength to hit the tip of the gun.
At that time, he was in a big rage and blasted those people out.
On the sixth day of the first month, the shop started construction again.
Liu Qingyan and Jiu'er went over to take a look, gave the workers New Year's benefits, begged for a good fortune, and told the foreman about repairing the backyard by the way.
The foreman smiled happily, it was difficult to find a job in the New Year, and the shop was only a little unfinished, and now there was a job and there was no need to change places, which was a good start.
The tenth day of the first month is the day when Dawu gets married.
After breakfast, Liu Bowen and his family, Liu Lanqing and Liu Qingyan packed up and went to Huangzhuao to drink the wedding wine.
Old man Liu drove the four people to the fork in the road and went back the same way, and it was a trouble for Huang Zhuao to get into the car.
The courtyard of the Xie family was cleaned up neatly today, and a new house was built in the courtyard next to the original east wing, with a big red cloth hanging at the door, thinking that it was used for Dawu to make a cave room.
The Xie family's new clothes were all put on, and their faces were full of joy.
When Liu Qingyan and the others rushed to Xie's mother's house, the team to welcome the relatives had not yet returned.
The third aunt Xie Xiaoyu's family arrived early, and the adults and the Xie family were busy entertaining guests together, and the children were chasing and frolicking in the courtyard.
Liu Qingyan and the Xie family greeted each other one by one, and then went to the uncle's room with the Xie family to see the pregnant little aunt.
Xiao Cai's pregnancy is close to six months, and it is not convenient to move with a round belly. There are a lot of people out there today, and it's not good if you get knocked down by a naughty girl.
"Second sister, Yan girl, you talk to your younger brothers and sisters in the room, and I will go outside to greet the guests." Da Cai came in to chat with Liu Qingyan's mother and daughter, and then went out.
Her face was red today, and her mouth had never been closed. After many years of daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, she is now also a mother-in-law, and she is happy.
talked to her aunt, and Liu Qingyan was pulled into her room by Qiaozhen.
"Cousin, I'...... I'd like to ask you about something. Qiaozhen bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
Liu Qingyan understood what she wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "You want to ask about that Li Gongzi, right?" ”
Qiaozhen blushed and nodded excitedly.
"I haven't seen him since the day my house moved to drink, and he sent a family member to send him a New Year's gift." Liu Qingyan couldn't bear to disappoint Qiaozhen, but she could only tell the truth.
After Qiaozhen heard this, the look in her eyes suddenly dimmed.
Liu Qingyan shook her head, thinking to herself that she was really a stupid girl, she had only seen two sides of people, and she was obsessed with people without saying a few words, what if people didn't look down on you?
She decided to give Qiaozhen a preventive shot first, "Sister Qiaozhen, I think there are some things I have to tell you first." ”
Qiaozhen looked at her with doubts in her eyes and listened quietly.
"That Li Gongzi's family is a wealthy businessman, as for the extent of wealth, I don't know for the time being, but one thing is certain, with the ability of our two families, it is out of reach if we want to stand shoulder to shoulder with others." After Liu Qingyan finished speaking, she looked at Qiaozhen steadily.
Qiao Zhen's eyebrows trembled, her eyes were confused, obviously she didn't understand the meaning.
Liu Qingyan frowned, feeling a little headache, but in order to prevent Qiaozhen from sinking into the mud, she had to harden her heart and say: "The marriage of the children of big families pays attention to the level of a family, your family is compared with Li Guang's family, one is in the sky, the other is underground, the so-called door is not right, the household is wrong, if you want to marry Li Gongzi, there is only one way to be a concubine." ”
Be a concubine?
Qiaozhen was like an electric shock, and her whole body stiffened in an instant, and her pupils dilated.
She knows what a concubine is, it is a thing that is left to the master's mother, and her status is not much different from that of Yahuan.
Liu Qingyan looked at Qiaozhen's expression, with distress and weakness in her eyes.
"Can you really only be a concubine?" After a long time, Qiaozhen lowered her head and asked in a quiet whisper.
Liu Qingyan hesitated for a while, but decided to tell Qiaozhen the cruel side of the facts, lest she have any more illusions, "Yes, and it depends on whether he is willing to accept you." ”
"It seems that I am delusional." Before the words fell, Qiaozhen's tears burst out of her eyes.
Liu Qingyan was silent.
Li Guang is sixteen this year, and Qiaozhen is fifteen, and they have both reached the age of talking about marriage. She has no ability to turn a poor peasant girl into a wealthy lady overnight.
Besides, even if it is financially achieved, Qiaozhen's character is not suitable for being a lady in charge of a deep mansion. can only find a small family that knows cold and hot, and has a delicate mind to live a stable life.
When Liu Qingyan was embarrassed about how to comfort Qiaozhen, there was a noisy sound of gongs, drums, suona and firecrackers outside.
It's the bride who has arrived.
The two villages of Huangzhuao and Maozhuping live next to each other, and the path winds for several miles, and the queue to pick up the bride also takes a lot of effort.
"Cousin, go out to see your new sister-in-law, I want to stay alone in the house." Qiaozhen wiped her tears with the back of her hand and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Liu Qingyan didn't move her steps, she was afraid that Qiaozhen wouldn't be able to think about it.
"I'm fine, I just want to be alone." Qiaozhen's face turned to the side, holding back tears.
Liu Qingyan thought about it for a moment, turned around and walked out, and closed the door with her hand.
When people are vulnerable, they often don't want to be seen.
When the door was closed, Qiaozhen threw herself on the quilt and cried bitterly.
The beautiful longing of the young girl in Huaichun was shattered, and this cry was like a river bursting its embankment, and it was uncontrollable.
Liu Qingyan stood outside the door and listened for a while, but the gongs and drums, suona, and firecrackers outside were ringing in unison, and the sound was earth-shattering, and she couldn't hear it at all.
She gently pushed the door open a thin slit again, looked inside, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qiaozhen lying on the bed crying and her whole body twitched.
Silly girl, you should be fine after crying!
She sniffed and closed the door again.
The bride Kong Chunxiang can be regarded as out of the limelight today, and the red wedding dress on her body is made of satin material, and there is no girl's wedding dress in several nearby villages that uses such good materials.
