Chapter 173: Substitute Marriage (3)

The third day is the day of returning home, and the new daughter-in-law will take the new son-in-law back to her parents' house.

Qi Xiaoting was no exception, and took Wang Er back to Miss Feng San's mother's house.

According to local customs, on the day when the new daughter-in-law returns to the door, her mother's family will hold a feast. It is only on this day that the new son-in-law is a guest, sits on the seat, and is entertained with good wine and food.

Miss Feng San is a relative to her brother, a hero of the Feng family, and her position in her parents' hearts is very important. In order to make the return to the door more grand, Old Man Feng called the eldest and second daughters and their sons-in-law. The festive atmosphere at home is very high, and the banquet is also very rich.

Today is the first time that Wang Eryu has appeared in the Feng family. His burly figure and handsome face calmed down all the people at the banquet at once.

Wang Erdu is the new son-in-law, so he has to arrange to sit on the top. On the right is the old man, and on the left is the Dalian placket.

Dalian is cunning and cunning. I thought to myself: They all say that the son-in-law of the third lady is stupid, and he doesn't look like a fool. I'll try him.

At this time, everyone has a pair of chopsticks in front of them. Dalian had an idea, and quietly took away one of the chopsticks in front of Wang Erdu.

Wang Er was stunned to see that there was only one chopstick in front of him, remembered the first sentence he had learned yesterday morning, and said to himself: "The double bridge is better, but it is difficult to walk alone." ”

The old man who was sitting on the right side of Wang Erdu's head was very happy when he heard it. In my heart, I am more literate. So, I hurriedly beckoned people to bring another chopstick.

Dalian Xiang listened to it and wondered in his heart: this sentence is both subtle and elegant, as if he has deep knowledge. Did the third lady teach it? Let him get it right!

When it was time to eat noodles, Dalian called the runner and asked him to serve a bowl of noodle soup, not a single noodle in it.

The runner quickly brought a bowl of noodle soup and handed it to Dalian. Dalian Xiang put the noodle soup in front of Wang Eryu again.

Looking at the bowl of soup that was crystal clear, Wang Erdui remembered the second sentence he learned yesterday, and said to himself: "Clear water, there is not a single small fish." ”

When Old Man Feng heard this, he couldn't be happier. Hurriedly greeted Xiaoliu and brought a bowl of noodles and poached eggs.

Dalian Xiangjian said two sentences very humorously, and he wondered in his heart? I thought: Anyway, today is the day of the new son-in-law, don't be afraid to tease him, everyone has a good time. I called the runner to come and said that he wanted to eat cold noodles. If you want to run to the hall, hurry to the room and bring a plate.

It turned out that on the day the new son-in-law returned to the door, the father-in-law's wine table could not put vermicelli. Because the vermicelli is so slippery, the new son-in-law will feel very embarrassed if he can't clip it. Sometimes it gets caught and falls back on the table if you don't get it right, which is even more embarrassing.

The cold noodles are here. Dalian took the initiative to take it, put it in front of Wang Erdu, and said enthusiastically: "Try this dish, it's very good." ”

Wang Erdun stretched out his chopsticks to clip it, but he couldn't clip it for a long time. I finally grabbed one of them, and just about to send them to my mouth, the noodles slipped off again. There was a burst of laughter at the wine table.

Wang Erdu was a little anxious, so he used chopsticks to pick it on the plate. As soon as he picked up a stick that was more than two feet long, he might be afraid that he would fall off again, so he put his head on the plate and picked it up with his mouth. The vermicelli is too long, and it shakes so much that my mouth can't catch it.

The expression of him leaning over the table, tilting his head and opening his mouth to receive the noodles already caused people to laugh secretly. When the noodles finally fell back on the plate without catching them, there was a burst of laughter at the table.

At this time, Wang Erdu remembered the third sentence he learned, and also learned to feed the pigs, and said sharply: "If you have food or not, hum blindly!" ”

Dalian was bored, and he didn't dare to continue to make fun of it, so he lowered his head and began to eat.

There are many Feng families, and most of the female dependents are not seated at a big dinner like this. The service in front of the banquet was fast, and he quickly spread the news of the wine table. Mrs. Feng was happy when she heard this, so she came over to watch.

At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet was very warm, and everyone shouted and toasted each other. Mrs. Feng is a female dependent, honest and honest, and never jokes with the younger generations. When everyone saw her come in, they restrained a lot. There was a moment of silence at the banquet.

When Wang Erdu saw this scene, he remembered the third sentence he learned yesterday, saying: "When a bird enters the forest, a hundred birds suppress the sound." ”

When Mrs. Feng heard that her son-in-law's words were really elegant, she was happy in her heart, and opened her mouth to smile.

When Wang Erdu saw his mother-in-law open her mouth and smile, she remembered the fourth sentence she learned yesterday: "Old, you dare to bare your teeth, and I will give you a dung fork." ”

One sentence stunned all the people at the banquet. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all laughed "poof" again.

Seeing this, Old Man Feng was so angry that he "coughed", dropped his chopsticks and left.

Qi Xiaoting saw that Wang Er was staying at the dinner table and making a lot of jokes, and thought: I am the substitute Miss Feng San, I don't care at all, and I can't live with the master. Then he called Wang Erdu aside and said to him:

"You made a lot of jokes today, and people will look down on you. Go down there and change people's perception of you. ”

Wang Erdu twisted his brows: "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Xiaoting thought for a while: "That's it, I'm holding a small bell, and at the banquet, if you hear me shake the bell, you say to people, 'Hold, hold.'" Shake it again, and you say, 'Copy, copy,' and then bring the dumplings, and I will shake them and you will eat one, and then put the chopsticks, and then shake and eat, and put the chopsticks on each one, and don't gobble it up like a starving ghost." ”

Wang Erdu took his daughter-in-law's words to heart.

After sitting back at the banquet, he didn't say a word, waiting for his daughter-in-law to ring the bell.

Qi Xiaoting shook it, and he said, "Hold, hold." Then take a sip from your glass. Hearing Qi Xiaoting shake it again, he said again: "Copy, copy." Then pick up the chopsticks and take a bite of the dish. He's slow-moving, and he's kind of like that.

At this time, Miss Feng's child peed his pants, and Miss Feng asked Qi Xiaoting to help change her son's clothes. Qi Xiaoting had to put the bell on the bed and help the eldest lady.

A child next door who came to play saw that the bell was very interesting, so he picked it up and shook it non-stop.

As soon as Wang Erdu heard the bell ringing, he was busy, holding a wine glass in one hand and chopsticks in the other, taking a sip of wine, copying a mouthful of food, and kept saying in his mouth: "Hold it, copy it, copy it, copy it......"

The child shook the bell faster and faster, and the silly boy was too busy to make a mess of the food and drinks. Knowing that Qi Xiaoting came back and snatched the bell over, Wang Er was stunned.

Wang Erzhi was so busy that he made the people at the banquet stunned, and he didn't know what kind of illness his new son-in-law had committed.

The Feng family also has a fourth lady, who is thirteen years old this year, and she is very clever and can see the doorway.

The banquet was withdrawn and the dumplings were served. Miss Feng Si smiled and walked to Qi Xiaoting's side and said to her: "Third sister, our mother asked you to help you go to the room, come, I will shake it for you." I couldn't help but say, and snatched the bell from Qi Xiaoting's hand.

Qi Xiaoting didn't know why, so she had to go to the room.

Miss Feng Si shook slowly first. Shake it, Wang Erdu eats a dumpling, puts the chopsticks, shakes it again, he eats another dumpling, puts the chopsticks. It gives the impression that he is very civilized, and many people change their opinion of him.

Miss Feng Si was naughty, and suddenly shook a few times, and Wang Erdu hurriedly stuffed several dumplings into her mouth.

Miss Feng Si began to shake slowly again, and after a while, she shook quickly. One moment fast, one moment slow, constantly changing the rhythm.

Wang Erdu couldn't stand it, and said with a mouth full of dumplings:

"I said daughter-in-law, if you are fast, you will be fast, and if you are slow, you will be full. One moment fast, one moment slow, I can't eat well! ”

When people realized what was going on, they couldn't help but laugh.

The weather was not beautiful, and it snowed heavily in the afternoon. Qi Xiaoting and Wang Erdu were both stopped at Miss Feng San's maiden house.

After observing her words, Qi Xiaoting found that Miss Feng San's grandmother was a chatter basket and liked Miss Feng San very much. In the afternoon, he pestered the old lady to tell the story of Bai Shangshu, the most famous grandson in the family.

The old lady saw that her very good granddaughter married a stupid son-in-law, and she felt very sorry for this granddaughter. is also responsive to Qi Xiaoting's needs. It took an afternoon of silent babbling to finish.

According to local customs, a married girl is not allowed to live in the same house with her husband in her mother's house. Qi Xiaoting seized this opportunity to sort out the legend of Bai Shangshu in Miss Feng San's boudoir, and left the silly boy to the Feng family to arrange.

After a night of fierce battles, Qi Xiaoting finally sorted it out, and passed a copy to the vertical and horizontal gods, and successfully completed the task.

Since Bai Shangshu is just a local legend, it is not widely circulated. For the sake of completeness of the book, it is uploaded here. The following two chapters are "The Legend of Bai Shangshu", which can be skipped by friends who know and don't like folklore.

The Legend of Bai Shangshu

Bai Shangshu's hometown is Nanbaita Village in Nangong County, and his grandmother's home is Feng Village in Jianjin Prefecture. Regarding Bai Shangshu, there is such a legend in the territory of Jianjin Prefecture:

Parents are married

It is said that Bai Shangshu's mother was born with smallpox when she was a child, and she was so sick that she couldn't do it. In order to keep her alive, her mother went to the temple and made a vow that if she was cured, she would become a nun.

Soon after I came back, I was cured. So, her mother sent her to the temple of her sister-in-law to cut her hair and become a nun.

When he grows up, the pockmarks on his face are covered with pits, and they are as big as copper coins; peach-shaped face, with two upper incisors showing more than half an inch beyond the lips; He is a big black man with three thick feet, and a pair of big feet are one foot and two inches long. People nicknamed her "Bigfoot Nun".

The "bigfoot nun" couldn't bear the loneliness in the temple, and often walked around the house, begging her mother to let her return to the world.

Her mother said; "You look so ugly, and you have such an unpleasant nickname, what kind of in-laws are you looking for?"

"Bigfoot nun" said: "Mother, haven't you heard people say, 'people are ugly, they must be blessed', Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms, the daughter-in-law was very ugly, didn't she become the prime minister's wife?" Maybe I'll be able to enjoy a lot of wealth in the future. ”

Her mother smiled, afraid that she would make her daughter sad if she spoke too bluntly, so she coaxed her to say, "When you have a suitable person, you will be vulgar." ”
