On the eve of 598
After all, Huaxi Village is just a small mountain village, and even if there is a happy event, it is impossible to be like those high-ranking families who have just prepared for a year and a half.
However, the folk pay attention to a "small sparrow, although the five organs are complete", although the steps are simple, but the necessary can not be omitted.
What's more, Su Guangfu and the Yang family really love Su Qingluan's eldest daughter, and because of the relationship that was wronged before, this eldest daughter has changed from a noble daughter from a wealthy family to a mountain village girl, although Su Qingluan has said many times that this kind of life is more suitable for her than the boring life of those deep mansions, but Yang and Su Guangfu still feel very guilty.
So for the eldest daughter's "life event", she naturally feels sloppy. So don't say it's the Yang family, even Su Guangfu is worried about Su Qingluan's various furniture every day, from the design drawings to the build, he does it himself little by little, lest he buy defective products from the outside, or it doesn't meet his daughter's wishes.
Preparing for a marriage is like this, the more carefully you prepare, the longer it will take.
Su Qingluan knew that this was not a real marriage, so she thought about the meaning, but her father and mother were more serious than the other, and she couldn't wait to bring the fairy clothes woven by the fairies in the sky and the carved bed in the inner courtyard of the palace to her as a dowry.
If you want to say that before people in this era get married, you need to find someone to talk to the matchmaker, and then go to the temple or ask a feng shui gentleman to calculate whether the birthdays of the two parties are compatible, and then it is too big.
In fact, relatively few people know the steps of these steps, and before the combination of the eight characters, this marriage may fall through at any time - after all, according to the degree of superstition of people in this era, because the eight characters are incompatible and the marriage is collapsed, there are cases every year.
What's more, this can be regarded as a buffer opportunity for both parties, so that the two parties can secretly examine each other, if they temporarily regret it, they will use the "eight-character disagreement" to deal with the past, and they will not lose face, and they can save the face of the two families, so usually before this step, the two will "do it secretly" and will not be too public.
But the next "ceremony" link is not so simple, to this step, it is the man to the woman to give a dowry, pay attention to a little more but also invite a special band to blow and play around the field for a week, the whole team of the ceremony is seen by the fathers and elders of ten miles and eight towns to count.
Of course, Su Qingluan had already discussed with Mu Xingzhi in advance, "everything is simple", because thinking about that scene, she felt that her toes were buckled to the ground.
However, no matter how simple it is, the procedure that should be followed still needs to be followed. From the Su family to the Muxing house, even if a person is lightly dressed, it will take more than a quarter of an hour, so even if the "courtesy" team takes the plan of "the shortest line segment between two points" to go directly, it has walked for more than two quarters of an hour, and there are many people who come to see the excitement.
After all, this team came out of Mu Xingzhi's yard, and everyone was guessing whose daughter Mr. Mu was going to marry.
When the "courteous" team entered the courtyard gate of the Su family, the news of "Mr. Mu is going to marry the eldest daughter of the Su carpenter's family" was like having shapeless wings, and it instantly spread throughout the entire Huaxi Village, and even the people in Lefeng Town who had some friendships with the Su family faintly heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family had promised someone else and was going to get married.
Originally, Su Qingluan thought about everything simply, and there was a very important reason that he didn't want to face a series of gossip about the seven aunts and eight aunts, but he didn't expect that he would still come, and he couldn't hide.
"Is that Lang Jun in a wheelchair?" Liu Yunniang grabbed Su Qingluan's hands, her eyes lit up like searchlights, "You said it was nothing before, but now you are going to get married, what am I talking about!" ”
The corners of Su Qingluan's mouth twitched: Actually, half a month ago, she didn't expect that she would marry Mu Xingzhi. It's a pity that even if she says such nonsense, no one will believe it. After all, in the eyes of others, he just ran to Mu Xingzhi's side at every turn, and there were even long-tongued women in Huaxi Village who chewed their tongues because of this incident.
However, Su Qingluan never took this matter to heart, and later because Su Qingluan took the people in the village to live their lives through "Su Ji", everyone's life was better, so they all thought about Su Qingluan's good, so no one would chew their tongues behind their backs.
Even with the improvement of Su Qingluan's "prestige" in the village, some people will take the initiative to stand up and defend it when someone says bad things.
It's not that no one complained a few words about those villagers being "the dog legs of the Su family", but they were choked back, "When the dog legs of the Su family can eat and dress warmly, you can only be so angry that your stomach explodes."
But now that the two families have passed the big post and given the dowry, even if they cross the Ming Road, no matter how Su Qingluan runs to Muxing's house, no one will pay more attention to it.
After all, although she did not officially worship heaven and earth, in everyone's minds, Su Qingluan was already regarded as the daughter-in-law of other families, and running to other people's houses was just "going back to her husband's house", which was a normal thing.
For this mainstream value of "women have no autonomy", Su Qingluan naturally doesn't like it.
However, she can't help it if she doesn't like it, and she can't change anything about this opinion except for a moment of anger and anger.
Now she can only make sure that everything she does is in accordance with her heart.
So looking at Liu Yunniang's teasing expression on the other side, she didn't explain much.
Compared with Liu Yunniang's gossip, the other neighbors were very happy, after all, Mu Xingzhi was still a "very good scholar" in the eyes of a considerable number of old people in the town because of the competition with Zhou Fuzi in Hongfulou.
Therefore, when Shopkeeper Liang, Old Man Xu and even Xu Yuanwei knew about this, everyone felt that although Mu Xingzhi was weaker, he was better than "Sven Honest", and he had a meritorious reputation, plus Su Qingluan would make money in business, if the two of them gave birth to two sons and cultivated them well, they might be able to take the test to become an official.
Su Qingluan listened to everyone's various "imaginations about the future", and couldn't help but cover her face and run away.
I can't stand it, I can't stand it.
There were probably two reactions from the people around who heard about this family affair, either they were interested in gossiping, or they offered their sincere blessings for Su Qingluan's happiness.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and the time seemed to enter July, the hottest time of the year. Su Qingluan belongs to the type that can tolerate cold but bitter summer, especially the hottest month or two of the year, I can't wait for him to see the sky and become a motionless rice worm, except for eating, lying on the bamboo couch in the yard, not moving.
But the reality is that she has to go to work in Su Ji during the day, and when she comes back, she has to prepare her dowry - sewing a wedding dress.
Su Qingluan's female celebrity is miserable, and now Su Xueyan is better than this sister when she sews anything, and even once Su Xuanhe wanted to learn embroidery on a whim, and the final product was actually more neat than Su Qingluan's sister-although it is not beautiful, but compared to Su Qingluan's unknown object that can't see what it is, it is already very good.
And now, she actually has to sew a wedding dress, Su Qingluan feels that the sky is going to kill her.
