The Liu family is going to get married the day after tomorrow, and Mingyue found an excuse to go to the county to discuss the details of marriage with the official media, so as not to be negligent.

Liu nodded with a red face, and Liu's face unconsciously revealed a happy little woman's smile. I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with my daughter worrying about her mother's marriage, and anything that looked unconventional in other people's homes seemed to have become a matter of course when she arrived at Mingyue.

Seeing that Mingyue's heart is also warm, it is said that newlywed women are the most beautiful, this kind of happiness cannot deceive people, it seems that Cheng Hong's kung fu to spoil women still has a set.

Mingyue's main purpose in entering the city this time was to find Cheng Hongluo and discuss the dowry of Liu's marriage, future residence, and the household registration of several children. It stands to reason that Liu's remarriage to Cheng Hongluo, her children naturally married into the family and became Cheng Hongluo's stepson and stepdaughter, but Mingyue didn't think so, she had a big secret on her body, and if she didn't solve it well, it would be a catastrophe from the sky, so don't burden her family.

The carriage has been bought, the carriage is not luxurious, but it is extraordinarily spacious, but it is completely in line with Mingyue's expectations---- low-key and practical. During the purchase of the dowry, a lot of effort was saved, and if there was no it, I would have to take the ox cart of the cow uncle, which would be indescribably embarrassing.

Because Mingyue immediately became "Miss Cheng", the officials did not stop her, let her drive in for a long time, and went directly into the backyard of the county government.

The backyard, which has always been quite quiet, is now full of traffic and horses, so lively, five or six mothers-in-law and maids walk through it, picking up things, looking at the tired and dusty faces of everyone, these must be Cheng Hongluo's distant family members.

Mingyue realized that her trip was a little abrupt, and she forgot that her family would come here to attend the wedding before she got married, and she had to talk about what she wanted to talk about later.

As soon as Mingyue walked out, a hurried little maid picked up a huge burden from the ground, stuffed it into Mingyue's arms, and she herself also hugged a burden, and said eagerly: "You are the maid in the third old man's house, just follow me, the old lady wants to choose the clothes and jewelry to wear to attend the wedding the day after tomorrow." ”

This burden is half the length of Mingyue's body, blocking her head and face, Mingyue has not yet spoken, the maid has already angrily slapped Mingyue's arm and said: "What a stupid, in the past and before this happy day, there is a reward for serving well!" If you can't hold the big one, I'll hold it, and you can hold the small one. ”

Mingyue looked at the little girl's arms with a burden that was not much smaller than herself, and she couldn't bear to be funny, and couldn't bear to brush her face, so she followed her with the burden and walked into the living room.

There was chattering inside, and the voices of countless women sounded at the same time, so it was not lively.

The two put the burden on a large table made of makeshift assembly, and before they put it down, it was already covered with all kinds of jewelry, waist seals and jade, with a variety of fancy styles, but at first glance it was a bargain, making people feel like they had entered the wholesale market and had a tearful sale.

In front of the table, there was a woman of about sixty years of age sitting in the center, her hair was simply tied into a bun, without decoration, and she was wearing a simple gray-blue cotton cloth, which was also unadorned.

There were four men sitting at the bottom, the first one was in his forties, his body was slightly rounder than Cheng Hongluo, his face was kind and warm, his eyelids were half-flirting, his breathing was even, and he looked as if he was asleep;

The second, nearly forty years old, smiled irreverently, the corners of his mouth turned down, and looked at the women in the hall who were about to go crazy with disdain;

The third is Cheng Hongluo, with a helpless face, Gao Er was bored and snuggled up to him, and he was also half asleep;

The fourth is a man with a gleam in his eyes, looking at the things on the table with great energy, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, which is full of taste.

In the hall, it was dazzling and flawless, three slightly older women, with a dozen or so boys and girls, into a pot of porridge, countless hands stretched out on the table, unable to tell whose it was.

Mingyue was confused by this scene, what is the situation? Why are so many clothes and jewelry piled together? Where was the disaster, and should we donate money and materials collectively to support the disaster area? Or is it for the sake of becoming a little married, and collectively selling inventory to make money? Looking at Cheng Hongluo, he doesn't look like a poor person?

The old lady in the front seat finally spoke: "Eldest daughter-in-law, it's almost enough, but your third brother is married, what is the use of you dressing up like a flower?" It's just a matter of the girls joining in the fun, how can the boys join in the fun, clothes and jewelry are things outside the body, don't be too deliberate. ”

A middle-aged woman in pink clothes in the hall pursed her lips and said, "Mother, this is a bad word. You don't pay attention to these things when you eat fast and chant Buddha, but you can't lose your etiquette and lose face when you become a family. Chengmou is a county in Linyang County; The second brother is the gentleman of the college; is the brother-in-law, and the owner of the Beijing Inn, we can be regarded as a character with a head and a face, and the dress is too shabby, so that the village woman and the village aunt of Xiangyang Village slapped her face in vain, wouldn't that make the third brother, the county master, a joke in Chaoyang County? ”

The woman untied one of the burdens, shook the clothes inside, and said in a rather atmospheric manner: "Although these I brought from home are not as good as those brought from the capital, the materials are ten out of ten, and they are all honored by the people under Chengmou's jurisdiction." Which one do you see you can wear? Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced disdainfully to one side, a woman who was obviously poorly dressed, and a sixteen-year-old boy and a fifteen-year-old girl beside her.

There was a small burden in the big burden that was shaken off, and the woman opened the bag, carefully stroked a few colorful clothes and said: "This is specially ordered for me to attend the wedding of my third brother, this light blue water flow skirt is Sui Lian's, these three dark red, dark blue, navy blue Liuyun brocade robes are into cold, bamboo, and forest." ”

I found a small jewelry box again, pointed to a set of golden phoenix tassels and a set of powder blue broken jade plum blossom tassels, and said: "I wore this set of gold heads, and it is very expensive to match my dark red peach blossom narrow sleeve tassel dark gold pleated skirt." This plum blossom head is worn by Sui Lian, and it is just matched with a flowing water skirt, and it hits the face of the village girl and the village woman. And the ...... of the three boys in this box."

Cheng Hongluo couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, what kind of village aunt and village woman, if you make your third brother and sister unhappy when they just get married, I don't depend on you, and don't say that it is something sent by the people under the jurisdiction of the eldest brother, if it is heard by the inspectorate or the governor, the eldest brother will also be the head of the county." ”

The sister-in-law took away the clothes and jewelry she wanted to use disapprovingly, and handed them to Sui Lian next to her, who glanced at her arrogantly, especially when she looked at a girl in an obviously coarse dress and linen skirt, she snorted softly, like a peacock who was arrogant and open.

The girl she was watching lowered her head with low self-esteem, and gently tugged at the corner of the same shabby woman's clothes on her side with her right hand, and tears were dripping from her eyes.

Seeing a woman who was nearly thirty years old on the table, she opened a big bag she brought, took out a new emerald green brocade dress from it, handed it to the girl's hand and said: "Sui He, this dress was originally worn by my aunt herself, and she has never even passed the water, so let's wear it for you, this is the latest popular appearance in the capital, if you wear it, you will definitely shine, maybe you can find a good mother-in-law here." ”

Suihe timidly wanted to reach out to pick it up, but he didn't dare, looked up at his mother, and his mother shook her head imperceptibly.

Sui He looked at the center of the hall knowingly, and when he saw his brother-in-law's unhappy face, his outstretched hand retracted awkwardly, shook his head and said, "Auntie, that's your clothes, I don't wear them." ”

Cheng Sheng glared at her husband fiercely, and stuffed it into Sui He's hand without believing in evil and said: "Aunt asks you to wear it, you can wear it, which one who is not long-eyed has an opinion, and my aunt will go back and clean him up!" ”

Sui Lian looked enviously at the clothes made of materials that were obviously better than her Liuyun skirt, and said with vinegar: "Auntie, your skirt is worn by a woman in her thirties, and Sui Lian is afraid to look old." ”

Cheng Shang's face was flushed with anger, and he couldn't be angry with his niece, so he could only endure it. There is only one woman in his own family, and he only gave birth to two sons with sticks, and naturally he has no daughter's clothes, and his sons Chengling and Chengfeng are both young, and the clothes they bring can only be picked up by Cheng Xia of the second sister-in-law's family, but Cheng Dong can't wear them.

The most annoying thing is that his father-in-law is a door-picker, and he picked out the clothes and accessories he picked out in private, and she only knew halfway that it was too late, and the materials she prepared were obviously lower, and most of them were not useful.

Cheng Sheng originally wanted to sarcastically say two sentences to her sister-in-law, she prepared it well, and the others were defective, she always wanted to pinch the tip and show off, and when she saw that she was secretly replaced by her father-in-law, she was speechless.

Seeing that Cheng Sheng was embarrassed, her girl was really envious, and the second sister-in-law was a little unbearable, and she felt quite sad. My father-in-law is a poor and stubborn teacher, living a year after year, not even saving money, and now I can only endure being laughed at, fortunately, there are not many opportunities for this, and I will endure it.

The second sister-in-law took out a neat plain blue skirt from the pile of clothes, gestured to Sui He, and said, "Sister-in-law, this one is not bad, let Sui He wear this." ”

Cheng Shang couldn't bear it, it was her old clothes ten years ago, and they were a little white after washing, so she took out a plain silver peach blossom hairpin from her head and inserted it on the head of the year, and said: "The yearly lotus is also over fifteen, wear this, and later say that maybe you can really match the good mother-in-law." ”

......

Mingyue couldn't say the embarrassment, she really didn't want to eavesdrop, but she heard the most private and embarrassing side of Cheng Hongluo's family, and she was scolded by the village girl and the village woman in front of her, this feeling is very bad; But if someone catches the bag, obviously, it's even worse.

Mingyue lowered her head and slowly retreated, wanting to disappear unconsciously, and then call Cheng Hongluo out alone to talk about things later.

Maybe Mingyue's actions were too "cautious", and at first glance, she looked like she was "harboring a ghost", and she was suddenly seen by Sui Lian, holding the jewelry box in her hand tightly, for fear that someone would steal it, and said angrily: "Whose maid are you, sneaky, did you steal jewelry and clothes?" ”
