Chapter 24 County Investigation
The two families of King Mu are intensively preparing for the marriage, and the two families are considered to be big families in the local area, so they naturally can't be lazy in all aspects, for fear that they will be delayed.
Because the goods in his shop are relatively complete, Lao Liuxin picked up all kinds of preparations that could be used, and sent soldiers to Lao Mu's family to send them over.
During this period, Xinglan has not delayed doing business, and still rushes four episodes every five days, and the thunder can't move.
In the common expectation of the two families, September 9, the day of Wang Xinglan and Mu Dongqing's great joy, finally arrived.
Xinglan's five brothers were all present, and Xingliang also joked with his cousin Bingbing, when will you marry that cousin-in-law back to us?
The cousin-in-law is still referring to the widow who is good with the soldiers.
Anyway, everyone already knew the whole thing, and Bingbing didn't show any more embarrassment, he hurriedly promised: Soon, soon.
In the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers, in the sound of celebratory blowing and beating musical instruments, the Mu family's family sent off their relatives, and a long line arrived.
Walking in the front is a burden, this person needs to walk in the front of the line, the bag is loaded with some of the bride's jewelry, he also has a task, you need to walk, while sprinkling on the road with the kind of red post that says "Daji", basically every dozens of steps to be sprinkled on the road one, meaning to seek good luck.
The blowers and drummers followed closely with the baggage, playing a cheerful and auspicious vocal music.
The bride's eight-lift sedan chair followed closely by the sound band. Changing the law to walk out of various auspicious steps, so that the bride is leisurely in the sedan chair. Of course, this is the reason for the high reward.
If the reward is small, it will be like the kind of sedan chair carried by Jiang Wen and them in the movie "Red Sorghum", which can bump the bride out of the urine.
The two big guests followed behind the sedan chair, talking about something as they walked, discussing how to drink the bar at the wine table, because the locals know that there are a lot of toasts at the banquet, and the big guests need to drink.
After that, there are those who carry furniture, such as cabinets, boxes, big eight immortal tables, small eight immortal tables, vultures, Taishi chairs, and so on
New quilts, mattresses, etc., are stacked on top of cabinets and boxes. Therefore, in the whole team of sending relatives, the person carrying the cabinet is the most tired.
The teams of the Wang family to greet the relatives corresponded to each other, and the team from the mother's family basically completed the task.
After the bride is approached to the courtyard, she first sits on a bench for a while, which is called "bluntness", which is said to be short-tempered, and sitting on this stool for a while, and her temper will become better when she gets married and lives in the future.
At the beginning of the worship ceremony, there will be a special person to bring out a dustpan filled with sugar cubes, chestnuts, red dates, peanuts, etc., and sprinkle them into the yard, implying that the flowers are alive and the meaning of jujube chestnuts (early standing).
After the worship is completed, it is sent to the cave room, and the bride is supported by a red hijab, and honestly sits on the edge of the new bed and begins to enter the role of "being a daughter-in-law".
After receiving the family team, they will be seated first, and after drinking tea, they will come up to play lo mein, a bowl for each person, and call it the first pad.
The Wang family invited the most famous chef within a radius of dozens of miles, and the banquet was according to the standard of 20 plates and 20 bowls, that is, eating while serving, and the empty dishes that were eaten were evacuated in a hurry, a bit like the flowing water seat in Luoyang, Henan, but it was not the same.
The team of relatives and relatives of the Wang family, as well as neighbors, set up a total of more than 30 tables.
When the banquet is about halfway through, the father and son of the Wang family take turns to drink wine to the team sending off relatives, which is called toasting. Especially for big customers, if you don't have a certain amount of alcohol, just a toast can make you drunk.
After the banquet is full, the guest and the in-laws drink tea together for a while, the big guest takes out the keys on the cabinet and the box from his pocket, hands them to the in-laws, and then says some formulaic polite words, it is nothing more than that this child is pampered at home, has not suffered hardships, and will not work, and will trouble the in-laws to take care of it in the future.
After the man's parents took the key, the task of sending off the relatives of the big guest was completed.
Everyone who comes to see off their relatives will be given a gift bag, and they will go home happily with the gift bag.
The people of this small mountain village have never seen such a big wedding.
In the new house at night, the younger generation is younger than Xinglan, or the younger age of the same generation comes to make trouble, and the new daughter-in-law keeps throwing delicious food, cigarettes, etc. out. Push the wedding ceremony to a climax once again.
The result of the marriage is naturally a happy family.
After Xinglan got married, he never separated him in a letter, he said to Xinglan Xiaojia: Your two younger brothers are outside, one is a soldier to eat food, and the other is hanging a pot in the county to help the world, and the fourth child is still clamoring to go out to be a soldier every day, so we will not divide the family like others, so let's live together.
After listening to her husband's father's words, Dongqing was overjoyed, and Xinglan had no opinion.
On the third day after the eldest brother got married, after the fourth brother had a little conflict with his daughter-in-law, he took advantage of this reason to pursue his own goal, also to realize one of his dreams.
After Dongqing got married, she didn't have the temper of a young lady, she was generous, polite to everyone, and rushed to do any housework, and her family and fellow villagers liked it.
She also took the initiative to mingle with everyone, and whenever anyone had a difficult thing or something, she also rushed to help others solve problems as much as she could. Prestige is also increasing.
Not only do his peers like to talk to him about their hearts, but gradually, even many people who are much older than her regard her as their backbone.
As a person of that era, such a social way will naturally attract criticism from some people, even the father-in-law left a letter, watching his daughter-in-law's behavior so unusual, it is also quite complaining.
He then tactfully reminded Xinglan that he should not patronize the market all day long to do business, and have time to accompany his daughter-in-law.
Xinglan smiled when she heard this, but she didn't take it to heart.
Xingting replied to the letter, and asked the eldest brother Xinglan to go to the county seat to see the business branch, so Xinglan found a day when he did not rush to the market and went to the county seat, and the two brothers discussed the pros and cons of opening a business branch in detail, and finally decided to open a branch in the county seat, and rented the corresponding shops along the street.
Xingting also happily told the eldest brother that due to the nomination of the county magistrate, he had passed the publicity period of the provincial councilor, and the letter of appointment could be issued on the same day.
There was nothing to say all night, and when Xinglan said goodbye to her brother and wanted to go back to her hometown the next day, the county master came and said that the county magistrate Fu was affectionate......
If you want to know what the county magistrate asked the two brothers to do, the next time will be more exciting!
