Chapter 252 Wedding Banquet Preparation
The drizzle was hazy, the biting cold wind was howling throughout the village, and the black and oppressive sky could not hide the liveliness of Linjia Village.
In the past, at this time, the people in the village had already turned off the lights and went to bed, but now the big guys are reluctant to light the oil lamps on weekdays.
Especially the new house of the Lin family, the lanterns are colorful, the luxurious wall is lit with a lantern every few meters, and the courtyard in the wall is decorated with festive red satin, the lights are bright, and the whole house is more brilliant and gorgeous.
This night, Jiang Yan's busy banquet was flawless, and the women in charge of the next day's banquet were also busy, and in the wide courtyard, there were a bunch of women around every other place, chatting about the gossip in the village, and quickly washing rice and preparing vegetables.
The dishes prepared in advance have to be moved to the stove, and the banquet is set up in the empty courtyard, the weather is cold, in order to facilitate the serving and let everyone eat the steaming dishes, Jiang Yan directly asked people to build a few simple stoves in the yard, and Cheng Liang, who was washed in a large iron pot, could get up and burn oil at any time.
In the second half of the night, people who couldn't hold it took a nap around the fire, and almost everyone in the Lin family stayed awake all night, Lin Dong and Lin Nan, the two would-be groom officials, were purely because they were too excited, and Jiang Yan, as the head of the family, also didn't fall asleep.
Early morning.
The rooster in the chicken coop shook its wings and crowed a few times, the sky was faintly bright, and Song Tao, who had just squinted for less than an hour, took the others to start busy, and set up the tables, chairs and benches borrowed from the village in the yard neatly and regularly.
There are many people eating today, borrowing the whole village to get together nearly a hundred tables and chairs, the courtyard can not be placed around the corridor, this will not be full of people, but just looking at the orderly arrangement of benches and wooden tables, the scene is also extraordinarily spectacular.
In the hall, all the members of the Lin family got up, and Xiaodouzi, who was sleeping in a daze, got off the bed with a grunt, squinted his eyes and arched over to Jiang Yan's side.
When the old house was just built before, Jiang Yan divided the bed for Xiaodouzi and let him sleep by himself, but after the end of autumn, the weather was too cold, and the little guy slept with his parents again.
"Grandma, where did Daddy go?"
The little guy rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily, he didn't rely on Lin Dong much, but he was just curious about what the groom official was like, he heard that the groom official was going to ride a big horse, and he wanted to be the first to see Daddy's appearance.
"Little aunt, is Xiaodouzi up?" Jiang Wen's voice sounded outside the door.
"It's coming, it's coming." Jiang Yan ran over in a few steps and opened the door first, Xiao Linzi and Xiao Gouzi immediately ran into the house, looked at the beautiful room over and over again, and excitedly showed off their new clothes to Xiao Douzi.
Except for the two children, all the Lin family members have changed into new clothes today, and Jiang Yan also bought herself a red winter coat, which is low-key and luxurious, her face is already a little delicate, and this dress sets off a little more restrained and delicate.
Jiang Yan rubbed Xiaodouzi's brain, and put on a red brocade robe for him, and the already cute little guy was lined with even more blessings and cuteness.
"Lao Wu, they are busy, and the children are clamoring to find Xiaodouzi to play, so I will bring them over first." Qiao Le sat uncomfortably on the sofa in the living room, although it was a living room, it was also Aunt Jiang's bedroom, and his face couldn't help but flush.
This is the first time he has entered someone else's boudoir!
"Little Bean, your clothes look so good, you are so cute."
The two children looked up and down at the little beans dressed like a little Fuwa, pulled him excitedly, and praised him without hesitation.
"You take Xiaodouzi first, and I'll go to the eldest and second to have a look." After dressing Xiaodouzi, Jiang Yan turned around and went to the east wing again.
Lin Dong and Lin Nan didn't sleep all night, the two stared at the two big black circles, freshened up in the bathroom, and changed into the wedding clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, because the two of them would not tie their hair, Tao Bai waited on the side early, tied the long hair of the two of them into a bun, and then firmly stuck it with a luxurious jade-inlaid hair crown, and tied the hair meticulously, revealing a full forehead.
When Jiang Yan came, the two of them were tying their hair, and the two of them looked dignified against the backdrop of a red wedding dress, and their burly bodies in the past looked even more charming.
"Mother! There you are. The two of them looked nervous, obviously in the cold weather of winter, the two of them were nervous and sweating, and they walked hand in hand.
"Look at you guys nervous, sit down, I'll give you two touch-ups." Jiang Yan pushed the two back to the dresser and said to Tao Bai: "Tao Bai, you go and arrange those people who are married, let them change their clothes as soon as possible, and the money is ready, don't delay the time." ”
Although a lot of processes are saved, the ceremony of marrying is still required, according to custom, the groom should bring a few brothers when he marries, which is commonly known as the bride.
Generally, brothers and cousins can be, and in Jiang Yan's understanding, it is the so-called best man group.
But because they are all in the village, they don't need to go to their parents' house to pick up their relatives, Lin Dong and they only need to pick up the bride, circle the village twice, and then return to the new house.
"I'll go!" Tao Bai was also dressed in new clothes, and he exited the room with a smile on his face, and went to call someone with his throat in his voice.
Jiang Yan took out her own concealer, asked the two to close their eyes, and gently covered the obvious dark eyes of the two with a brush, she had hardly slept in the past few days, and her dark circles were more obvious than those of her two sons, so she bought concealer early.
The farmer's complexion is relatively dark, and he does physical work all year round, and he is rough, but the skin is firm, and there are not many obvious marks on the face.
"Mother, this thing is quite easy to use, the acne that I have been in a hurry for the past two days has been covered, and I can't see it at all!" Lin Nan excitedly looked at the bronze mirror repeatedly, because he cared too much about this pimple, he squeezed it for a long time last night, but he didn't expect that as soon as his mother made a move, he couldn't see it.
Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder, this ancient bronze mirror is very hazy, and the reality still looks a little shallow, but it is much better than the appearance of the red tong just now.
"Ready, ready, almost ready to go."
Jiang Yan looked at the two people who were much taller than her, and had mixed feelings for a while, although she didn't get along with the two for a long time, but she had experienced a lot of things during this time, she had long treated the two as her own sons, and now watching them get married, she also had a feeling that her son had grown up.
