Chapter 7 Marriage
Because Lu Ziqi no longer has any elders, he can only follow Chuncao Niang by himself and go to the village chief to meet the eight characters of his birthday.
Within a few days, Lu Ziqi invited a matchmaker, brought a dowry to Lao Liu's house to propose, and gave a dowry of ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver, in such a poor and remote place, you can eat for two or three years, and Lu Ziqi can come up with a dowry of ten taels of silver, which surprises everyone in the Liu family.
From the beginning of receiving the dowry, Chuncao Niang couldn't stop smiling, not because she was happy to receive the ten taels of silver, but because she was happy that this future son-in-law could come up with a dowry of ten taels of silver, and she was not as poor as she imagined.
Chuncao Niang thought in her heart, maybe in fact, the nerd and his father and mother have left a family property, but he himself is sloppy and sloppy, and he seems to be poor?
Although the daughter-in-law of the pillar hates this sister-in-law very much, she now thinks that she can marry this sister-in-law immediately, and she still looks like a sister-in-law on this day.
Chuncao Niang still didn't know where to dig out an old desk calendar, and asked Lu Ziqi to pick a good day to get married. The Liu family is illiterate, except for the current Chuncao.
Lu Ziqi took the shabby yellow calendar and looked at it, and then said: "This year is the twenty-eighth of this month, and then it is next year, I think it will be set on the twenty-eighth of this month, what do you think?" ”
Chuncao listened to it on the side, this is too urgent, this month is twenty-eight, this is nineteen, thinking that there are three months left in the future that is not suitable for marriage? If not, you can get married again next year!
In the thoughts of modern people in Chuncao, it's not too late to fall in love for a year or two and then get married. So Chuncao said, "I'll take a look", and reached out to take the book in Lu Ziqi's hand.
Lu Ziqi closed the book with his hand and said to Chuncao: "You are illiterate." Chuncao withdrew her hand slightly embarrassed, forgetting that she was "illiterate".
Chuncao Niang frowned and said, "It's twenty-eight, it's a hurry, but it can't be delayed until next year." ”
The wedding period is decided, and after Lu Ziqi leaves, Chuncao is really curious, there is no suitable day for the twenty-eighth this year? Secretly dig out the old yellow calendar. But what the hell is it that says "it is advisable to marry" for so many days.
The wedding date was set, and there were still a few days left, and Chuncao didn't have time to run to the south of the village anymore and waited at home to get married.
Although there is not much attention to getting married in a remote village here, there is still a lot to prepare, the wedding dress, quilts and the like are to be made by themselves, and they have to make a set of heads for their father-in-law, which is simply a huge project for Chuncao, Chuncao will have a cross-stitch in his previous life, and found that embroidery and cross-stitch are not a concept at all, and after embroidering a few bloodstains in a row, Chuncao Niang gave up and let Chuncao do the embroidery work, Chuncao can only take over the housework at home, Let my mother and sister-in-law be busy.
On the first night of Chengqin, Chuncao sat by the river in a daze, thinking that he would get married tomorrow, and he hadn't seen the nerd during this time, I didn't know if he was prepared, he didn't have time to marry in his previous life, and he was really going to marry an ancient man in this life, and he was still a little apprehensive.
But thinking that he was going to marry a nerd, he felt sweet in his heart.
September 28 arrived in a blink of an eye, and before dawn, Chuncao was pulled up from bed by her mother and began to work.
The customs in the village, the woman is to do the wedding wine in the morning, the man is to make the wedding wine at noon, Chuncao Niang began to Zhang Luo in the early morning, the sky is bright, and a few aunts in the village who have made friends with Chuncao Niang came to help cook.
Chuncao stayed in her room, put on a red wedding dress, and Chuncao asked the osmanthus aunt in the village to paint the bridal makeup for Chuncao.
Here, the bride has to pull her face before getting married, use a thin hemp rope to wrap the hair on her face, and then pull it quickly, the heart-wrenching pain, and the tears of the spring flowers rolling.
Finally finished, Aunt Osmanthus began to wipe on Chuncao's face, and when she was finished, Chuncao herself didn't have time to see what she was tossed into, so she covered her hijab, and Chuncao always felt that her face was burning and hurting.
After painting the bridal makeup, the guests outside have also eaten the banquet, occasionally one or two people come in to see the bride, polite two sentences, Chuncao one by one to thank you, in fact, these people, Chuncao does not know anyone, come here for two years, live in their own world, never deal with the people in the village.
Chuncao thought, since he decided to live here with the nerd, he still can't go on like this, and he still has to get in touch with the people he should deal with, since he planned to marry the nerd, he said hello to some villagers in the village, and found that they are actually very simple and simple, but they are much simpler than the various worlds in his previous life.
Chuncao has been sitting in the room, and for the first time in her life, she is going to get married, a little nervous, and a little expectant, waiting for the groom to come and pick up the kiss.
Usually, Chuncao can sit silently alone for a day, but at this time, Chuncao is a little nervous and restless, and this face is still hot, this face is really tossing.
Someone suddenly shouted outside that the groom was coming, and then there was the sound of firecrackers, and then there was the sound of suona.
Lu Ziqi walked in front, wearing a red robe, his hair tied up with a red ribbon, and a big red flower on his chest, many people saw Lu Ziqi, they were stunned, as if they came out of a painting, they had never seen such a good-looking person, is this the poor nerd, the little girls all blushed, thinking that this fool really has a stupid fortune, I didn't expect this nerd to be so handsome after changing his clothes.
Two people behind Lu Ziqi played suona, followed by a red sedan chair, two people carried, and the only matchmaker in the village stood next to him, blowing and blowing towards the yard.
The sedan chair stopped in the yard, and according to the customs of the village, Lu Ziqi first visited his future mother-in-law and brother and sister-in-law, and then his brother entered the house and carried the spring grass on the sedan chair.
Before getting on the sedan chair, I have to cry and get married, Chuncao Niang is really sad and crying, my daughter is about to get married, and I don't know what the fate will be in the future, I am always worried.
Chuncao got on the sedan chair, got up as soon as the sedan chair sounded, and the sedan chair began to sway away.
Chuncao was about to vomit while sitting in the sedan chair, and finally stopped.
It should have arrived, and the spring grass couldn't see it with a hijab, and it seemed that there were still some people when I heard the voice.
In fact, since Lu Ziqi had an accident at home, he has stayed silently on the edge of this remote village alone, basically not interacting with the people in the village, and now he is getting married.
Before the accident, Lu Ziqi's father and mother were also very popular in the village, and the villagers who had been friends with the Lu family in the past saw that Lu Ziqi was going to get married, so they took the initiative to come over to help.
The wedding was presided over by the village chief, the village chief was a child, the only one in the village who reads, of course, Lu Ziqi is also a reader, but Lu Ziqi can only read and not test his fame, and he can't do anything, in the eyes of the villagers he is just a nerd who doesn't know anything.
The bridegroom kicked the door of the car, then crossed the brazier and worshipped the hall and entered the cave room. Chuncao was sent to the only bedroom.
The groom still had to greet everyone outside after drinking the wedding wine, and when the noise outside gradually became quieter, Chuncao took off his hijab and walked out.
