Xiao Yue thought about not marrying, but reality is reality after all, and when Daddy Xiao came home at night, he brought back the news that Xiao Yue didn't want to hear.

That night, the family sat in the hall after dinner, and Father Xiao looked at Xiao Yue with love in his eyes and asked, "Yue'er, are you feeling better?" ”

"Dad, I'm alright."

"Well, it's okay," Father Xiao turned his head and said to Zheng again, "I'm going to cut some meat tomorrow and come back to make up for Yue'er, I've lost weight." Zheng nodded in response.

Father Xiao was silent for a while and said to Xiao Yue: "Yue'er, I met Changfa today, and he said that he would ask the matchmaker to come to the door in a few days. ”

"Well, our family Yue'er is also filial, find an auspicious day for them to get married!" Although Zheng still talked about it today, he still had a little reaction when he really encountered it, and he slowly spoke after a while.

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Yue and said to Zheng: "That child is not easy, no one at home cares about letting him go up the mountain to hunt and make money, he went up the mountain two days ago to hunt a big insect and sell it for some money, thinking that our family Yue'er is also filial piety, so I want to do the family affairs." ”

"Well, yes, if no one makes a fuss, you have to worry about it, and I think he should think that he and Yue'er are both old, and he just has a little money in hand and wants to do his family affairs. The boy was pitiful and had no one to take care of him, and I had seen him wash his clothes by the river several times, and there was no one to make up for the breakage, and there was no one to take care of the house. But our Yue'er suffered when she got married, and his mother really couldn't say it, and she was biased to the armpit. ”

Daddy Xiao took a puff of dry tobacco, frowned and said: "Don't say that, it's important to live a good life, anyway, I think that family will be divided sooner or later, Changfa that child I have grown up, and he has the ability to hunt, and the future will not be bad, you look at the time he came back this year, the life of the Yang family is really much better than before." ”

"Also, if you are diligent, you will never starve to death." Zheng turned his head to Xiao Yue and said, "Yue'er, you are also ready to prepare, and after the matchmaker comes to the door, you will set a date to get married!" ”

Xiao Yue nodded, she has always been a person who is at ease with what she encounters, in this ancient marriage, she has always paid attention to the words of her parents, she can't tell others that she wants to marry freely, maybe then she will be possessed as a demon, and she will be burned to death in this ignorant era, so she plans to be an honest little woman who will not be in the limelight.

After a few days, the matchmaker invited by the Yang family came to the door with a dowry, and the firecrackers crackled all the way, along with Yang Changfa's eldest aunt.

Yang Changfa's eldest aunt is a very neat person, when Grandpa Yang took Yang Changfa to live, his eldest aunt stopped him, but Grandpa Yang was afraid that there would be conflicts after a long time, so he moved out, but this eldest aunt still often went over to wash the clothes of the grandfather and grandson, and make up for the broken clothes or something.

In Xiao Yue's opinion, Grandpa Yang understands things very well, if he didn't move out to live together, people will inevitably have resentment in their hearts after a long time, no one is rich these years, and there is something to support other people's children, it is better to let his own children eat well, after all, Yang Changfa's father and mother are still alive.

What's more, Yang Changfa's eldest aunt and Yang Changfa's mother have never gotten along, and it is inevitable that she will not be angry with Yang Changfa after a long time.

The team carrying the dowry came to a place not far from Xiao's house and lit firecrackers, hearing the sound of firecrackers, Xiao Chun also hurriedly lit firecrackers at the door of Xiao's house, and the custom in the village is that the man carried the dowry and lit firecrackers not far from the woman's house to notify the woman's family, and the woman's family lit firecrackers to welcome.

The dowry was carried to the courtyard of the Xiao family, and the people in the village followed to see the excitement, and the matchmaker invited by Yang Changfa was the matchmaker who had been talking to the surrounding villages.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Father Xiao and Zheng: "Big brother, sister, I have come to give you good news, you see that the magpies on the tree are calling." ”

Zheng also changed into a new dress today, the whole person was beaming, and when she heard Ma Matchmaker say this, she immediately grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to Ma Matchmaker and said, "Here, you are also happy." ”

Mrs. Ma took the candy and peeled one and fed it into her mouth, deliberately sucked it hard and said, "Oh, it's so sweet!" The crowd around laughed.

Zheng took out a plate of candy and distributed it to the people in the village who came to see the excitement, and the children were the happiest to gather around Zheng.

Zheng took Xiao Yue out after the candy was finished, these dowries are also to give the bride an eye, Xiao Yue is wearing a pink new dress today, combing a delicate bun with a tender yellow silk flower, the whole person is pink and tender, full of the girl's beautiful youthful atmosphere.

As soon as Xiao Yue came out, Mrs. Ma began to praise, "Tut." Look at this girl, she looks like a flower. Changfa's kid is really lucky, such a girl is really the same as in the painting, that is, the fairy in the sky is afraid that this is what it looks like. ”

Xiao Yue really got goosebumps when she listened to Mrs. Ma's words, look at this boastful ability, I don't know and think that Xiao Yue is really a great beauty who captivates the country and the city, but Xiao Yue has seen it from the bronze mirror, this face is an ordinary girl at most delicate.

Uncle Yang looked at Xiao Yue and was also very satisfied, stable and generous and very capable, and her nephew was not bad if she married such a daughter-in-law, she laughed even more when she heard Ma Matchmaker's words, this Xiao family's girl is not so beautiful, but she also has good facial features, and took over Ma Matchmaker's words and said: "That's right, this girl is handsome." After speaking, he took out the list of dowry gifts from his sleeve and handed it to Zheng.

Zheng took the dowry list and looked at it carefully, Uncle Yang was to greet the person who carried the dowry to open the dowry, Yang Changfa's dowry is good in this village, there are two pairs of chickens, five catties of pork, two fish, two bags of tea, four-color fruit, four-color sugar, one horse each of the four colors of navy blue, azure, pink, and light purple, as well as a pair of silver hairpins, and finally six taels of dowry.

In Linshui Village, the general family background is three taels, and the better family is six taels, and there will be more people with excellent conditions, but there are few such people after all.

Yang Changfa's dowry is not the best in Linshui Village, but it is also top-notch, Zheng and Daddy Xiao are very satisfied with the dowry, they are not people who care about money, but the dowry is important for a married girl, the heavier the dowry, the more the in-laws look at the mother-in-law.

Although they understand that this dowry was prepared by Yang Changfa alone, this also just shows Yang Changfa's heart for his daughter, and they can rest assured a little.

After the dowry, it was time to exchange the marriage letter, and the marriage letter was prepared by the man, and Yang Changfa couldn't write and asked Yang Xiucai for help.

Xiao Yue's marriage book was written by her younger brother Xiao Xia, and the two sides exchanged marriage letters according to their handprints.

After the dowry, Mrs. Ma and the people around her who watched the excitement dispersed, Uncle Yang did not leave, she told Xiao Yue the size of Yang Changfa's clothes, shoes and socks, according to the customs of the village, the bride should make new clothes and shoes and socks for the groom.

Xiao Yue nodded and said that she had written it down, and Aunt Yang got up and went back, and Zheng asked Xiao Yue to send her.
