Chapter 127: The boldness of "sister-in-law".
Relying on the relationship, the Zhao family can be regarded as having a stable life in the troubled times, and the old lady has been stable for a few years with Miss Zhao.
But the good times didn't last long, only a few years later, suddenly one day someone from the Zhao family came to the door to propose, saying that he had taken a fancy to Miss Zhao, and at that time he directly brought the dowry and put it in the front hall of the Zhao family.
As soon as he heard that it was the bandits in the mountains who proposed marriage, the old man of the Zhao family disagreed, and resolutely threw out the dowry, which angered the bandit leader Red Pepper.
Although red pepper sounds like a girl's name, he is an authentic man, and his methods are vicious, and it is also because of his ruthlessness that he has this name, and some people call him a single clove of garlic and old ginger.
Red peppers hang a string of red peppers in front of Zhao's house every day, the locals know that this bandit goes down the mountain regularly, hanging their things at the door of the house, which means that your family is targeted, if they are not let out of breath within ten days, on the morning of the eleventh day, they will definitely come as scheduled, and burn, kill and loot, and never be soft.
The old man of the Zhao family has a stubborn personality, he refuses to let his daughter be trampled in the hands of bandits, and he doesn't want the old and young of the Zhao family to have trouble, no way, he asked someone to find an officer at the time and ask if he could suppress the bandits.
He didn't expect that this bandit was also related to the army, and the little silver used by the old man of the Zhao family didn't take it to heart at all, and he didn't even think about the bandits.
After waiting for a few days without news, seeing that it was going to be the tenth day, the old man of the Zhao family began to be anxious and couldn't eat or sleep, and the young lady of the Zhao family also washed her face with tears every day, frowning.
The old lady looked at the young lady of the Zhao family and thought of a way, that is, to marry instead.
The old lady went to marry the red pepper for her, in the past few years in Zhao Mansion, she treated herself like a mountain, like a sister, and now she has a problem, so she naturally has to help.
At first, the old man of the Zhao family was worried about being recognized, and then the old lady told them that as long as the sedan chair was carried out, the red pepper would relax her vigilance at that time, so that the old man Zhao would escape far away with the family, and don't come back.
Even if Miss Zhao disagreed, but for the safety of the Zhao family, the old man of the Zhao family also nodded, and began to send people to send letters up the mountain, inviting matchmakers, three books and six hires, and eight sedan chairs, which could not be ambiguous at all.
When it came to the day of greeting relatives, there were not a few people left in the Zhao family, and they originally wanted to see a lot of people, so they passed in a fool's way, but they didn't expect that this directly made the red pepper see the flaws, and directly grabbed the old man of the Zhao family on the spot and asked what was going on.
Just when the two had a dispute, and when Red Pepper pulled out a gun to kill someone, she didn't care about any etiquette rules, and she didn't care about any auspicious or unlucky person, so the old lady directly lifted the red hijab in public.
The people present were dumbfounded, especially the lively ones, just like watching a ghost, with a face full of bad luck and disgust pointing at the old lady, and saying everything in their mouths.
The old lady is dressed in cloth clothes and shoes on weekdays, and she doesn't have rouge and gouache, but with this phoenix crown and xia curtain, the whole person has changed, and the red pepper eyes are straight when she looks at it for a while, and she doesn't recognize this as the maid of the Zhao Mansion at all.
Looking at this opportunity, the old man of the Zhao family hurriedly picked up the hijab and covered the old lady, pulled the old lady, and said that he would not marry, such a son-in-law would not be married, and said such similar things.
The red pepper was turned around by the old lady's posture, and he was still immersed in the scene just now and didn't come out, seeing that the old man regretted it, he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, said some good things, and let the matchmaker say some good things.
Following this step, the old man of the Zhao family also came down and handed the old lady to the matchmaker, looking at the smug look on the red pepper face, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the incident just now was over.
The old lady sat in the sedan chair and looked out through the sedan curtain, and it was really walking the mountain road, this bandit was all king of the mountain, exactly the same as the eldest brother and her.
The old lady married for the young lady, and she didn't want to run, she knew that if she ran away, the Zhao family would have to be wiped out at night.
Sitting in the sedan chair, the old lady also accepted her fate, I heard that the bandits are chivalrous, presumably it is not a bad thing to be the lady of the village, this life is in troubled times, if she can live a stable life on the mountain, she will be satisfied.
The sedan chair stopped, the sound of blowing and beating did not stop, followed by the sound of firecrackers, a hand reached in, and it was the matchmaker who spoke, who came to help her get out of the sedan chair.
Following the matchmaker into the cottage, the chattering around them did not stop, and the old lady heard it clearly.
This is different from the outside, there is no worship of heaven and earth, just enter the door, the hijab was lifted, and a large bowl was handed directly to the old lady, according to the rules of the cottage, drinking this big bowl of wine is the lady of the village.
The old lady, who had never drunk alcohol, looked at the sea bowl the size of her own face, and couldn't help but be stunned in her heart, looking at the red pepper next to her, frowning, and throwing away a look for help.
Red Pepper didn't know if she was dizzy by the old lady, so she took the sea bowl in front of her and left her a small mouthful.
The red pepper has reached this point, and the old lady naturally won't lose face for him, so she took his bowl and drank the rest of the wine directly.
After all, he is a big boss, if he blatantly violates the rules, naturally no one dares to say anything, he still applauds and is sent directly to the cave room.
But at this time, the old lady was reluctant, looking at the red pepper covering her stomach, saying that she hadn't eaten all morning, and she wanted to eat with her.
As soon as these words came out, they were impressed by all the brothers, such a bold and straightforward woman, they saw it for the first time, and they directly called their sister-in-law, and then made a seat for her, all carrying wine jars, and wanted to come over to toast.
Red Pepper was obsessed with her beauty at first, and after coming to the cottage, she was attracted by her pride and courage.
In this way, the whole cottage knew the strength and courage of this sister-in-law, and they all said that Red Pepper married the right person.
When she was full of wine and food, the old lady bluntly said that she was not the young lady of the Zhao family, but the person next to her, which made everyone's faces change, and they all looked at the red peppers.
