Chapter 165: The Bride
Several brothers-in-law of the Liu family drank well and were quite sober, seeing the appearance of Aunt Yun, and hearing Qian Heitan say this, they guessed that he was drunk and had seen someone, so he pulled him up and said, "Look at it, you recognize the wrong person." ”
After speaking, he called Second Aunt Yun, "Who is your mother-in-law?" Our brother-in-law admitted that he was wrong, and you should also say it. ”
Second Aunt Yun glanced at him, didn't speak, and when Qian Heitan seemed to be more sober, she stepped forward and said, "Ke Xin's father, you haven't been to the house to see Ke Xin for many days, I wanted to take advantage of the good sun to bring him to show you, how did you think that your family was setting up a banquet to entertain new relatives." It's only two months since we were pitiful, and we couldn't say 'congratulations' to her father! ”
Qian Heitan's face turned red with shame, he was busy getting married these days, one was busy, and the other was ashamed to see his daughter, so he really forgot about this daughter, at this time, he heard Aunt Yun say this, and hurriedly said, "Second Aunt sit down and have a drink, but I take care of you more on weekdays." ”
Second Aunt Yun shook her head, "The smell of alcohol in this house is too heavy, it's not good for the children, I'd better go back with my heart." However, you have set a date for marrying? ”
Qian Heitan didn't know what she meant, so he said, "It's decided, in six days." ”
"Oh, then I'll tell everyone, the marriage filling house will be in the afternoon church, and it just so happens that the workshop is closed, and everyone is thinking about coming to drink the wedding wine."
The faces of everyone in the Liu family were dark, they didn't have the consciousness of filling the house, and now let Aunt Yun visit the hall in the afternoon and nail them to fill the house, they were not happy, one of the uncles of the Liu family said, "This old sister-in-law, our Liu Qian family, are not rich, who has a mess of work to do, sent Qi Niang to worship in the morning, and can go down to the field to be busy for two hours after eating early, if it is in the afternoon, it will be a waste of a day's work." ”
"That's it, that's it." A few people next to him also echoed, but Aunt Yun pouted, "These old brothers, they don't have any children at home, how can they forget the rules of marriage, the wife is married in the morning, and the house is filled in the afternoon. ”
Several members of the Liu family were gagged, and they were choked there for a while, and Aunt Yun no longer paid attention to them, and said to Qian Heitan, "Lizheng said it there, when the ancestral hall is opened on July 14 to offer offerings, the names of Kexinniang and Kexin will be on the list, and you will have to prepare an extra offering at that time." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Qian Heitan to respond, he hugged the child and left, Qian Heitan trotted to send her back, seeing that everyone in the Liu family had a bad face, it was also embarrassing, he said that it was to fill the house, but he didn't lie, but it was not easy to say, so he had to stand aside, and the brothers and elders of the Liu family looked at each other, threw down the wine glasses and shook their sleeves and left.
Qian Heitan panicked, followed behind him and apologized, and finally invited them to get into the carriage and sent them back to Dongshan Pass.
Cuilan and her two daughters-in-law helped clean up the wine table, they all shook their heads and sighed, just like Qian Heitan, how could they stiffen their backs when they married their daughters-in-law and came home.
Cuilan also said, "Ke Xinniang is afraid that she knows Ke Xin's father's temper best, so at that time, she only stood up until the boss lady came back, the boss lady is kind and shrewd, even if Ke Xin has a stepmother, she will not let Ke Xin suffer." ”
"It's not, being a mother, it's really thoughtful for the child."
The three of them were busy, and they didn't wait for Qian Heitan to come back, so they dispersed.
In the evening, when everyone went to Yun's house to see Kexin, they heard that Aunt Yun said this, and they all gave a thumbs up and praised, "Second Aunt is really majestic!" ”
Rui Xue also smiled, "The second aunt beat well!" ”
Second Aunt Yun raised her chin proudly, pretending to be triumphant, and said, "We were also good at quarreling when we were young, and it was not a matter of holding them to death. ”
Everyone laughed, and Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Just look at the character of the Liu family, that Qi Niang is not a good personality." If you get married in the future, Kexin's father is afraid that he will be angry, and if he regrets his marriage because of today's incident, it will also be a good thing for Kexin's father. ”
Cui Niang shook her head, "I have seen that Ke Xin's father has not stopped smiling on his face in the past few days, and I am afraid that I like that Qi Niang very much, if the Liu family regrets marriage, he will not hate us for the rest of his life." ”
In fact, everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, but they were just laughing, so they sighed silently, sat down for a while, hugged each other, and dispersed.
On the second day, Zhang Dahe found out the news in Qian Heitan's mouth and told his daughter-in-law that everyone knew in the evening that the Liu family was angry yesterday and threatened to repent of marriage, but Qian Heitan refused, and knelt down to his mother-in-law, guaranteeing that although Liu Qiniang was filling the house, she would be treated as a wife, and she would give birth to a son in the future, and all the family wealth would belong to her son. In addition, an additional two taels of silver were added, and the Liu family, who was only then counted, was happy.
When the women heard this, they almost blew up their lungs, and they all said that this money and black charcoal were given ecstasy by the Liu family, why does it have to be that Qi Niang, what kind of family is this, so greedy for money, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful when I marry his daughter in the future.
Zhang Dahe, Gao Fuquan and others didn't mean to complain for Qian's sister-in-law, but when they saw that Qian Heitan was so low, they also looked down on him a little, and felt that he had lost the backbone of a man, so when Qian Heitan opened his mouth to borrow money, he didn't agree.
Qian Heitan couldn't, so he had to ask Zhao Fengnian and predict the salary for two months, so this matter could be overturned.
Ruixue couldn't sleep on the kang at night, and she was also pondering, Qian Heitan Xu fell in love with Liu Qiniang at first sight, but I don't know what Liu Qiniang looks like?
She didn't have this question in her heart for long, but on the afternoon of five days later, the Qian family set up eight tables of wine banquets to entertain a group of villagers and maiden guests who sent off relatives.
Liu Qiniang got out of the carriage, worshiped with Qian Heitan, and sat on the kang in the middle room. The farmer didn't have too many rules, and it was a house-filling, so everyone asked for money and black charcoal first removed the hijab, so that everyone could see what the bride looked like?
Qian Heitan is not affectionate, so he took off his hijab, so the new daughter-in-law who often appears in the gossip of the villagers in the past few days showed her true face, but it is an ordinary appearance, and there is no beauty between the eyebrows and eyes, and the complexion is still dark.
Rui Xue heard Cui Niang and a few people say, but just laugh and forget it. Unexpectedly, after dinner early the next morning, Ruixue was calculating the family's daily accounts, so she heard Yingzi come to report that Qian Heitan had led her new daughter-in-law to come to visit.
Rui Xue was stunned when she heard this, didn't she worship her in-laws on the second day of marriage, why did their husband and wife come to their own house, it happened that Zhao Fengnian came in, guessed that she must have been confused again, so she said, "Newcomers, worship your in-laws first, and if you have the master's family, you have to give the master's family a gift, but the money manager is just an employee of our workshop, so it is polite." ”
Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and sat on the main seat with Zhao Fengnian, but after a while, Cui Niang led Qian Heitan and a little daughter-in-law in a red shirt to come in, seeing that the woman's figure was still quite slender, and when she got closer, her eyebrows and eyes were really the same as everyone said, very ordinary, the powder was very thick, rouge, red lips, everything was greeted on the face, Shengsheng drew three points of beauty, and suddenly it was okay to look at it, and I didn't dare to compliment it if I looked closely.
Mr. and Mrs. Qian Heitan stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Say hello to Mr. and the proprietress of the boss." ”
Zhao Fengnian said with a smile, "Please sit down and drink tea, you husband and wife don't have to be so polite." ”
Qian Heitan smiled, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly remembered that the proprietress was on the side, so he immediately smiled and said respectfully, "Thanks to the support of Mr. and the old bridesmaid, I can have today." Qi Niang knows the etiquette, and you must come with me to bow to the main family. ”
Is this complimentary? Rui Xue sneered in her heart, lowered her head to drink tea, but her eyes did not leave Liu Qiniang's body, Liu Qiniang smiled shyly on her face, her eyes were dripping and rolling, and after such a while, she looked at all the furnishings in the room, and hung her head again with obvious disappointment, not knowing what idea she had in her heart, twisting her veil and not saying a word.
Rui Xue sneered even more, thinking of Sister-in-law Qian's gentle appearance, and felt that this Liu Qiniang was far behind, so after a few casual gossips, she called Cui Niang to go to the warehouse to get a box of snacks, and sent them down.
Zhao Fengnian also shook his head and said, "This woman is really much worse than Ke Xinniang." After speaking, he instructed Caiyun Caiyue to boil a bowl of red date porridge for Ruixue as a snack in a while, and went to the front yard to get busy.
Qian Heitan and his wife walked out of the gate, and before they walked ten zhang away, Liu Qiniang saw an angry look on her face, and asked, "Didn't you say that the proprietress of the Zhao family is the most generous, but all women who are close to her have to give a silver hairpin?" How do you say that she is also the steward in the workshop, I came to visit as soon as I passed the door, why did she not wait to see her like this, she didn't even say a word, just a box of snacks and sent us away? ”
"No, no." Qian Heitan hurriedly took care of himself and coaxed his new daughter-in-law, "The boss lady hasn't gotten along with you yet, so it'll be good when she gets acquainted later." There is also a silver hairpin at home, you wear it first, and then I will earn money to buy you a new one, okay? ”
"Before?" Liu Qiniang frowned, "But how unfortunate is your previous dead ghost mother-in-law, I don't want it!" ”
Qian Heitan heard the words "dead ghost mother-in-law", and felt a little uncomfortable, so he said, "Don't say that, she is a good woman, but she is not blessed..."
"Ah, you're scolding me, are you still thinking about her in your heart, then you just think about her life, why bother marrying me back? She lied to me last night, you will listen to me in the future, you don't remember what she looks like, she has changed her hexagram today, do you think I, Liu Qiniang, am a bully? I want to go back to my parents' house, I won't get married..."Where is the shyness of yesterday still half a point, Liu Qiniang completely revealed her true nature, cried all the way, provoked Qian Heitan to accompany her, in the end went home and sent the old hairpin into the city, and added a few hundred dollars for a new one.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, there are many good mothers-in-law in the village, and the play sung by the new daughter-in-law of the Qian family was soon seen by the people in the eyes of the village, and everyone shook their heads in private, and the Qian family was afraid that it was wrong.
