On September 9, I don't eat wedding wine.

There is a saying: If you don't eat wine on the ninth day of September, and if you like to avoid nine days, you will have to live for a long time, and you will not stop being rich and rich.

It stands to reason that Zhuang Lu is a businessman and believes in this. But why is it September 9? As I said before, he set September 9 to bless the old lady and get rid of her recent worries.

Inside, because Zhuang Lu has not turned over after being pressed for so many years, he is a little unwilling. In the four mansions, although he is not an official, he is in charge of business and has the financial power of the family. However, these years have always been pressed by the Cao family, pressed by the old lady, and then childless, these have pressed him for so many years, so he thought in his heart: Salted fish turned over, put it to death and then live! In the worst of the day, the days are getting better and better. So, despite Cao's opposition, it was set on the ninth day of September.

The old lady didn't pay much attention to it because he took the concubine, and the woman was a foreigner from a distant land, so she didn't care about it, and it didn't matter if she didn't get along. So the old lady passed vaguely on her side.

The only third master Zhuang Qin and the fourth master Zhuang Yao have some complaints, after all, it is not a happy event in their house. So, in private, the two discussed a sentence or two, but they didn't say anything on the surface.

Last night, Zhu'er went to Beifu to find Jin Paper to get drunk, and when she heard the second master quarreling with the Cao family, she was determined to be happy on September 9, and the Cao family was unwilling to set this day. Zhuang Luyan said that the date was set, but the old lady did not refute it, and no one could turn it over. Cao Shi wanted to take the opportunity to quarrel for a while to annoy him, but who knows, after Zhuang Lu finished arguing, he also said that he was worried that there would be an accident when he picked up people tomorrow, so he wanted to take people into the house overnight, and it would be over tomorrow with a ceremony.

Cao was reluctant, saying that it was not in accordance with the rules, so he made a lot of noise. The Cao family is a person who wants to save face, how can she tolerate this concubine who occupies the magpie's nest before entering the door? couldn't quarrel with Zhuang Lu, so she cried, and her daughter Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying hid outside because of these annoyances, so that Zhu'er and Mei'er came to bump into her.

Regardless of the Cao family's fuss, because the old lady was going to enter the palace early in the morning, Zhuang Lu was afraid of committing a crime, so he gave up the matter of taking people into the palace.

On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhuang Lu asked Qian Zhuang and Shouhu to take people to the outer courtyard to pick up people, and he and the housekeeper commanded the arrangement in the house.

The original newcomer had to go to Shouzhong to worship the old lady before returning to Beifu, and returning to Beifu to meet the Cao family before he was famous. However, when the old lady entered the palace, this ceremony crossed over, and the person could go directly to the North Mansion. The current seating arrangement, the men's table is in the main hall of the second gate of Beifu, and the female relatives are in the back garden fence bamboo garden, which can go through several winding corridors of the gate. How many reasons for this arrangement are known only to the second master.

The second master is reluctant to get close to the Cao family, which is the reason.

On the first night, Zhu'er went to Beifu and saw that there were no hanging colors outside the mansion, only two red lanterns, and he knew that this was the meaning of the old lady's press: Don't do it big. Behind the second door is a house full of red silk, and the corridor is brightly colored. Now, everything is arranged, the second master wears a wedding dress, sits in the room and drinks tea, waiting for the guests to come. First, the third and fourth masters came, and the brothers gossiped inside.

Outside came one after another, girls and children from various provinces, but it was also lively, but it looked like a big wedding event inside and out, not very like a big wedding event.

Because of this scene, Zhuang Lu said to the third master Zhuang Qin: "Look at my situation, I have made way for the uncle." When the lord comes back, you have to tell me. ”

Zhuang Qin only cared about eating tea and did not speak.

The fourth old man Zhuang Yao said: "Second brother, you are enough, this matter has to be known to the eldest brother, and you have to talk about it." ”

Zhuang Lu was dumbfounded. But no, Zhuang Jue was stabbed, and he was involved in Yu Qi, and then let Yu Qi enter the mansion, all because he forcibly married this woman from the old part of Xinjiang. Pile by pile, involved, he really has no face to invite good words.

Zhuang Lu understands in his heart that if he doesn't say it, he won't be happy, but if he says it, he will be more troubled.

At this point, there are three things to follow. If you don't do these three things, you can salute at an auspicious time in the afternoon, and you can have a big banquet in the evening.

The first scene happened when the two brothers were gossiping, and Zhuang Ji came to Beifu in a hurry.

The second money bank sent someone back to report that the bride refused to leave the house.

The third-level officials came to arrest Zhuang Pu.

If there is a fourth gear, it will be the Cao family who will make it difficult for the newcomer.

Now let's start at the beginning.

At that time, the fourth old man Zhuang Yao finished speaking, Zhuang Lu was interested, so he turned the topic to what are the guests of today's banquet, and just about to say, I saw a kid outside panting and ran in to report that the uncle had brought a guy.

The third old man listened to the newspaper diligently and was shocked.

Yu Qi was stabbed by Zhuang Ji before, and later he learned that after a few days, he told the county lord that "the palpitations in my heart will not disappear for a few days." When I heard that the uncle brought the guy, I asked the kid urgently: "Does the uncle bring a big knife or a small knife?" ”

The kid replied: "Master, the uncle didn't bring a knife, he brought a ......."

Zhuang Lu threw out his arm, slapped the kid aside, and lifted his robe to the outside. Out of the hall, the first to hear a burst of gongs and drums, from outside the courtyard, the girl in the second courtyard heard, thought that the bride was coming, ran in groups to see, but saw the busy girl outside running in with her head in hiding. Zhuang Lu knew that Uncle Zhuang was here this time, and there was trouble again.

At the same time, the ladies in the house were still smiling melon seeds in the back yard, more or less gathering the crowd to comfort the Cao family. Because they heard that the girl came to report that the uncle was coming, the Qin family and Zhuang Hu took the brunt of it and rushed out, and the aunt was afraid that Zhuang Hu would hurt people, so she repeatedly pulled the girls and didn't let them go, but those girls were all curious, and they were not afraid of their eldest brother, so they followed despite the aunt's obstruction.

The Cao family is the master, it is inappropriate for her not to go, seeing that the Qin family is waiting, she also goes, and the first few aunts don't want to move, as soon as the Cao family leaves, they have to be reluctant to follow.

The aunt wanted to protect the young seventh girl Zhuang Yuan, and after taking two steps slowly, she pulled down the girl who reported the call and asked, the girl said that the uncle beat the gong and drum, and all the girls were afraid of what would happen. Hearing this, the aunt didn't care about Zhuang Ying, and immediately chased after the aunts and stopped the little aunt with a strong belly.

The aunt said: "Don't go if you have the body, the uncle is beating the gong and drum!" How can you listen to this in your stomach! ”

The little aunt was relieved by the oleander poison, and she was afraid of this kind of thing, but now that the aunt was kind enough to stop her, she just had an excuse not to go. said that he was here to guard the seventh girl and her cousin Zha Liangxiu.

In this way, the aunt followed behind and came to the second courtyard.

When I went to the second courtyard, I saw a group of people gathered in the gate, and on the steps, Zhuang Wei was dressed in a groom's red clothes, pinned to a red silk flower, hung a big flower drum on his waist, and beat a stick with a drum in both hands, and tied a cymbal on each side of his armpit, and a cymbal on his arm.

It was very joyful to see here, Zhuang Ji started to hit the flower drum, and the cymbal cover of his arm hit the cymbal under his armpit, making a "choking and choking" sound, which was indescribably funny.

The aunt leaned on the pillar and looked, but when she didn't step forward, she saw Zhuang Lu grinning, pointing at Zhuang Lu with a drum stick and saying, "Second uncle, why are you dressed like me today?" Isn't it a happy event for me? ”

Zhuang Qin said angrily: "Uncle Hugh is messing around again!" ”

Zhuang Ji smiled: "Third uncle, what did you say?" If you only allow the second uncle to be happy, you are not allowed to be happy? You all think of your second uncle as good, why don't you look at my good? Zhuang Lu waved his hand and asked the underground boy to hurry up and pull Zhuang Xu.

Whenever people approached, Zhuang Ji kicked his legs and threw sticks, so that people did not dare to approach.

In the end, Qin Shi persuaded sadly: "Bastard, you go back for me." It's your second uncle who has entered the aunt today, what are you messing with? Listen to me and go back to rest. ”

Zhuang Wei glared, and spat at the Qin family: "Mrs. is turning her arms and thighs outward?" I brought back the main house yesterday, and you didn't let you in. This second uncle is going to be an aunt, what are you doing here? Also to block? ”

The Qin clan was stunned by Zhuang Ji, and said angrily: "Come on, tie it up!" He turned around and pushed Zhuang Hu next to him, "Auntie go too, you guys tie it back tightly!" Don't embarrass his second master. ”

As he spoke, Qin's tears flowed.

Zhuang Hu wanted to stop it, but after all, it was a brother and sister, and he didn't dare to come out with a heavy hand, he was embarrassed, and he couldn't persuade him, so he spread his hands again and again to let the servants on the side wait for the opportunity to go up and subdue them.

Zhuang Ji roared loudly and said to everyone angrily: "Today is my marriage." It's me! No, it was the second uncle who robbed my bride! Robbed! When he finished speaking, he threw the stick on the ground, and smashed the drum and cymbals off his body. After only a few sounds, they all fell to the ground. Then, Zhuang Ji took out a dagger from the back of his waist.

Zhuang Ji pointed at everyone with a dagger: "I want to rob my relatives, what is mine is mine, and no one can snatch it away!" It's not you, you don't even dream of it! Hurry up and give me back! ”

He roared and cried.

When the people saw him with a knife, they did not dare to come near. The brave servant wanted to pounce, but Zhuang Hu was afraid that Zhuang Hu would find a short-sightedness, so he waved his hand and told him not to act.

Zhuang Hu said to Zhuang Hu gently: "Big brother, listen to us, go back!" Today is a good day for the second uncle and the second master, you are bluffing like this, it is not appropriate. You say, don't you? ”

Zhuang said: "Then tell me, what is appropriate?" I can't keep my people, you have to rob them, that's the right thing to do?

It was on par, Zhuang Yao said to Zhuang Lu: "The guest sees that the time is almost here, how can this be good?" ”

Zhuang Lu thought for a while, signaled to everyone not to make noise, and he said: "Uncle, you tell me, who told you that there are people from you in my house?" Although he spoke to Zhuang Xuan, his eyes glanced at Cao.

Cao Shi was proud on the side, and when she saw Zhuang Lu glancing over, she immediately turned her face back, waved her handkerchief and stepped forward and said, "Master, I didn't go to tell the uncle, don't use this kind of look to wronged me." ”

Zhuang Lu snorted, and said decisively to Zhuang Xu: "Since the uncle definitely thinks that people are in my house, then you can come and find it, and if you find it, you will take it back." ”

As he spoke, Zhuang Lu moved out of the way, and the people on both sides also dispersed backwards on their own.

Seeing this, Zhuang Ji laughed and cried, and said, "You take advantage of this time to hide people as soon as possible, and if you ask me to look for them, I will definitely not find them." Why lie to me. Second uncle, there is no one I am looking for here, why do you marry a wife, and the whole house is invited, but I am not invited? What did I do to live with my second uncle and my Beifu? Or the second uncle's kidnapper didn't dare to invite me! ”

Zhuang Lu was so questioned by Zhuang Lu that he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the string of jade beads in his hand slapped back and forth on his thigh.

In such a scene, it is really not a matter for the guests to see it, so the third old man Zhuang Qin said angrily: "Uncle Hugh wants to talk nonsense, and after a while, there will be distinguished guests coming to the house, you are so pretentious, do you not want the face of the house?" It's also thanks to how many books you've read, why are you so confused. Listen to your wife and go back. After speaking, he turned sideways and looked away, refusing to look at him again.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ji laughed after hearing this, and walked down the steps step by step with a dagger.

Everyone was frightened and retreated.

Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Jue saw that their father Zhuang Qin was still facing away, proudly unmoving, and the danger was approaching. Without waiting for Zhuang Ji to get closer, Zhuang Pu stepped forward, blocked in front of his father, and said to Zhuang Xu: "Big brother, why did you come here. You put the knife down and have something to say. What do you do with knives and guns. Zhuang Pu didn't listen, and swept the dagger in his hand, Zhuang Pu was afraid that he would hurt people, so he persuaded again: "You said that the second uncle didn't invite you, you really wronged him." The second uncle told me early that he wanted me to inform you, but I forgot about it. How about you blame me, blame me, and I am willing to be punished? ”

Zhuang Ji shook his head and shook his knife, and said angrily: "Second brother, you get out of the way for me!" It's none of your business, don't get in my way. ”

Later, everyone knew that Zhuang Pu's words today were of great significance, and this matter had nothing to do with Zhuang Pu. Naturally, that's another thing. Later words.
