Chapter Eighty-Nine: Carefully Arranged
In the bungalow in the backyard of the Liu family, Ziwei snuggled in Xu Hugen's arms, and they looked at the complete and seamless jade pendant, shining under the light of the candle fire.
This jade pendant symbolizes the ups and downs of this young man in the past 20 years, the changes of the times, and the changes in personnel. Fortunately, providence, this piece of jade pendant is still fused together.
Xu Hugen looked at the sweet smile of Ziwei in his arms, and said: Tomorrow is our mother's seventh day, let's go to the cemetery together, which is also a kind of comfort to her old man.
Ziwei sat up and said, "Okay, then I'll prepare some tin foil and burn a little for her then."
Hugen said again: What about you, don't run here when you have nothing to do, don't do things by mistake, it's not good for people to see.
Ziwei pouted and said: Don't worry, you can't do things wrong. Anyway, we are now justified, what do people see, what if I live here?
Hugen said: After all, you are still a yellow flower girl, and you are often with a man, and it is not good for your reputation to spread it.
Ziwei pouted and said: What should I do?
Hugen said: When I make money, I will marry you in a big red sedan chair.
Ziwei said again: Then wait until what year and month, when you make money, I am already a.
Xu Hugen laughed and said, "Look at you, you're in a hurry." If it really doesn't work, then I'll snatch you to marry first.
Ziwei asked curiously: How to grab it?
Hugen said with a smile: According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, there has been a marriage contract since childhood, and due to personnel changes, there are people who the man can't afford to marry. As a result, the man can choose a date, call a few people to the woman's house, and carry the bride away, which is in line with the law of the Qing Dynasty, and no one can intervene. Carry the bride home, worship the church, and get married, and then you can enter the cave room.
Ziwei smiled and said: Then when will you rob me?
The two laughed.
......
The next day, the sun was shining.
In front of Aunt Zhen's grave, there are a few fruits and pastries on the ground. Xu Hugen knelt there, holding a lit three-pillar incense stick. Dao: Mother, today is the day you have been gone for 7749 days. I'm coming to see you again. Today, I am not alone, I have also brought your future daughter-in-law, Ziying, perhaps it is your spirit in heaven that has brought me and her here. I will treat her well in the future, and we will live well.
At this time, Ziwei also lit the three-pillar fragrance, knelt down and said: Mother, I am your daughter-in-law Ziying, you can rest assured, in the future, I will take good care of Hugen, give birth to children for him, and inherit the Xu family.
Xu Hugen and Ziwei knelt there with their hands together, they didn't notice that someone behind them slowly moved closer to the tombstone and inserted three pillars of incense in the incense burner in front of the tomb. They looked up sharply and saw that it was Liu Yong.
Ziwei felt very embarrassed, couldn't dodge, and covered her face with her hands.
Xu Hugen saw that it was Liu Yong, knelt there, and waved his hands. Said: Thank you for still thinking about my mother, and I remember it in my heart.
Liu Yong looked at Ziwei, who was still kneeling there with her hands covering her face, and said seriously: Hey, what's so embarrassing, it's a good day today, you are now worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall second, for the lack of husband and wife to worship, don't you just turn around?
Hugen and Ziwei turned to look at each other and smiled slightly.
Hugen said: We have thanked our benefactors. They kowtowed three times in both directions, and Liu Yong kowtowed.
Liu Yongdao: Get up, heaven and earth can testify, from today onwards, you are already husband and wife. You have to live well, and only then do you comfort the dead.
Ziwei said: I still have to serve Madame.
Liu Yongdao: You don't have to worry about this, I have my own arrangements.
Hugen said: When I make money, I will marry Ziying home in a beautiful way. Besides, my mother has just broken off seven, and the mourning period has not yet expired, so it's not good to do this.
Liu Yong said with a smile: Whether it is beautiful or simple, not all of them are the same as having children. Besides, your mother has broken off seven, she should have taken off filial piety, and you got married early, which is also to comfort your parents under Jiuquan. Ziwei is not so particular, are you still so particular? Turning to crape myrtle again, he said, "Crape myrtle, do you say yes?"
Ziwei kept her head down, smiling and silent.
Liu Yongdao: It's not early, so let's go home quickly.
......
When the three of them returned to the Liu family's compound, Hugen and Ziwei were dumbfounded. The Liu family is busy, and even Wang Baohe and Song Hongsheng are helping to kill chickens and fish. The kitchen room also specially invited a big dish master.
embarrassedly asked the sister-in-law who was arranging the dishes and asked: Sister-in-law Ying, what is the happy event at home today, so grand.
Sister-in-law Ying smiled and said: You still came to ask me, aren't you going to be a bride today? The master had taken care of it the day before yesterday, and today I want everyone to help.
At this time, Ziwei and Hugen were stunned, and stood there stupidly, embarrassed You look at me, I look at you.
At this time, Hong Ying came out and said in disgust: Oh, when is it, you didn't come back until this time, don't hurry up and change your clothes.
In the hall, there were two boxes, Hong Ying pointed to the two boxes and said: Here are your clothes, one is Ziwei's, and the other is Hugen's. Ziwei, go quickly, the cuckoo is already waiting there, let her give you some makeup, the bride must have a bride-like appearance.
At this time, Ziwei and Hugen were overwhelmed by all these arrangements, and they both knelt down towards Hong Ying. Tears of gratitude.
Hong Yingdao: Oh, what are you two doing, hurry up and look like it's too late.
Hong Ying got up early in the morning and made a wedding dress for Ziwei.
......
Although the wedding banquet only had three tables of people up and down the Liu family, the dishes were also sumptuous.
Tiger Gen and Ziwei sat on the central chair of the main table, and even the old lady came out with a smile and said goodbye to the cuckoo. Tiger root and crape myrtle both kneeled to the old lady. The old lady also gave Ziwei a thick red envelope.
Hugen and Ziwei came to Liu Yong and Hong Ying again, and bowed to Liu Yong and Hong Ying. Hugen Dao: The two benefactors are on top, and they are worshiped by our husband and wife. Liu Yong and Hong Ying both laughed, said in unison, and said: Hey, it's free.
Others also said, "That's right."
Hugen said emotionally: Without a benefactor, there would be no two of us today. You are our reborn parents.
Liu Yong and Hong Ying laughed and helped up Tiger Root and Ziwei.
Liu Yongdao: May you husband and wife love and live a happy life. This is your home, and if you need anything in the future, just tell your wife.
Hong Ying took out a thick red envelope and gave it to Ziwei.
They thanked each of the other people present. Sister-in-law Ying, Song Hongsheng, Wang Bao and them also gave gifts respectively. The whole scene was also lively and joyful.
At the end of the banquet, Liu Yong said loudly: Send Sina and the bride into the cave room.
At this time, a few maids supported Ziwei, and An Lan and An Jiang followed behind with two boxes and went to the backyard.
On the way, Hugen was still thinking, in a hurry in the morning, the room didn't have time to be cleaned, how would it be good to go in like this?
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a big happy word pasted on the door, and when I entered the door, Hugen was dumbfounded. New furniture, two brocade quilts on a new bed, and a pair of pillows for 'mandarin ducks playing in the water'. There are various fruits and sweets on the coffee table.
At this time, several maids competed to turn over the quilt. Wow, it's full of candy, peanuts and stuff. His family scrambled to grab it, and one of the maids peeled off a peanut and stuffed the peanut rice into Ziwei's mouth, Ziwei chewed a few bites and said: Hey, this is raw. Caused everyone to laugh. Crape myrtle didn't know what it meant. He also continued seriously: Really, this is raw. Another burst of laughter.
Or Du Juan knew, she said to Ziwei: Sister Ziwei, I know that you will give birth in the future.
At this time, Ziwei suddenly realized, and her face turned red.
Seeing this, Hugen understood in his heart that all this was carefully arranged by Liu Yong and Hong Ying. He burst into tears and shouted, "Benefactor!
