Originally, things like tables and stools could be borrowed from the village. However, Lu Zheng'an lives outside the village and has no neighbors around, and if he borrows money from the village, it is not as convenient as him spending money to rent a dozen or so houses.

Everyone set up the tables and stools, and the master of Qingfeng Building also led people up the mountain. After saying hello to Lu Zheng'an, he took people and started to get busy.

At this time, the original hustle and bustle of Hualong Mountain was full of people's voices, birds, and firecrackers, and it was very lively.

Mrs. Jiang and the other official media arrived in the evening when the banquet was close to the opening of the meeting, and looking at the lively and noisy courtyard of the Lu family, it took a while for Mrs. Jiang and the others to react.

"Yo ho, it seems that our sisters are late, and they are so lively. Let's go in and follow the excitement. ”

When Mrs. Jiang entered the door, Lu Zhengan was standing in front of the stove to help Master Zhao of Qingfeng Building serve food. Seeing Mrs. Jiang and others entering the door, she hurriedly wiped the oil stains on her hands and greeted a few people.

"I left a table for a few mothers-in-law to come out, but I don't want to see anyone coming, and you don't want to come to the door when you dislike my shabby table."

When Mrs. Jiang entered the door, she had already seen Master Zhao in Qingfeng Building, and when she heard Lu Zhengan's words, she smiled and said, "Look, look! A few of us are just a little slower on the road, and you kid is to blame. ”

After everyone laughed, Lu Zhengan led Jiang Miaopo and others into the hall.

At this time, there was a vermilion table of eight immortals in the hall, and the two soups on the table, eight cold and six hot, had already been served, and they were waiting for Mrs. Jiang and others to come and sit down.

When everyone saw such a sumptuous banquet, they couldn't help but look at each other for a while, but it was Mrs. He who reacted first, and sat down in the main seat with Mrs. Jiang in her arms, and the others also sat down next to them.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass of wine for everyone one by one, and finally poured the wine cup in front of him with both hands.

"Thank you for your mothers-in-law for your help these days, and I will talk about it if I say thank you, and I salute you mothers-in-law for this glass of wine." After speaking, Lu Zhengan raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine glass.

Several official media present have also seen countless large and small scenes, and when they saw Lu Zhengan so bold, they were not stage frightened at all, and they all drank the wine glasses in their hands.

However, because the next day was the right day, everyone did not dare to be too presumptuous. After drinking Lu Zheng's glass of wine, he consciously put down the cup in his hand.

Lu Zheng'an stood next to him and talked for a while before withdrawing from the house.

Although the matchmakers in the house are flattered on weekdays, there are very few who really respect them as much as Lu Zhengan. Although they have helped a lot in the past few days, and there are many complaints in their hearts, they have some mixed feelings in their hearts at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Jiang glanced at everyone's expressions, twisted the chopsticks on the table, and beckoned everyone: "What are you waiting for if you don't move your chopsticks, old sisters?" Wouldn't it be a pity that the owner of the family prepared such a table of good dishes for us? ”

As soon as Mrs. Jiang said this, the room once again resumed its previous liveliness.

……

Compared with the bustle of the Lu family, although the Song family's decoration was also very festive, the atmosphere was much colder.

Song Huaishu sat in front of his parents with reddish eyes, and felt the pain of parting for the first time.

Seeing Song Huaishu's eyes slightly red, Song Xiren sighed secretly in his heart and opened his mouth to persuade: "Look at you child, tomorrow will be your day of great joy, we should be happy Why are you crying?" ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu couldn't help but bow his head and said softly: "I am reluctant to leave my father and mother......

Although Song Huaishu's voice was soft, Song Xiren and Song Lan, who were present, could hear it clearly. The two of them endured the reluctance and sourness in their hearts, and persuaded with a smile: "It won't take an hour from our house to Lu's house, so you want us to come back and have a look, how can it be worth crying?" ”

After that, Song Xiren looked at Song Huaishu with reluctance in his eyes. "You have been sensible since you were a child, but you have never suffered too much. You also know the conditions of the Lu family, although Lu Zhengan is good, but the family cannot be supported by only one person, and you will inevitably have to work harder. ”

Song Huaishu listened to his father's words and nodded, indicating that he knew, and then listened to his father's continued instructions: "As the old saying goes, life is thicker than the leaves of a tree, and since we have decided it, we have to live well with others." When you have grievances, you should talk about them, but you can't also play petty at will. ”

After finishing speaking, Song Xiren couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, "Although you said that you went out, it doesn't mean that this is not your home." You are our only child, and no matter how far you go, we will always be behind you. ”

After Song Xiren finished speaking, Song Lanshi stood up from his chair.

From his sleeve pocket, he put the bag that had been prepared long ago into Song Huaishu's hand, "Here is two hundred taels of silver, you can put it in case you need it." ”

"Mother, I don't want it. I haven't used much of the pocket money you and my father have given me over the years. I will not take the money with enough for me. And my father also said that the Lu family is so close to our house, I really need to use the silver to come back. You and your father can keep this money for a while. ”

After speaking, Song Huaishu stood up under the gaze of Song Xiren and Song Lan, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down in front of them.

"After going out tomorrow, the unfilial son will no longer be able to serve him. When the child is not around, I hope that the father and mother will take care of their health and not worry about the child anymore. ”

After saying that, Song Huaishu straightened up, and at this time he was already in tears, and Song Xiren and Song Lan, who were standing in front of him, could no longer hold back their tears.

Song Huaishu took a deep look at his parents, who were already graying temples, and bowed twice before standing up.

At this time, the jade was hanging high outside, and the time was close to the hour, and it was less than four hours before the Lu family came to pick up their relatives!

Chapter 50

On the sixth day of the ninth month, it is advisable to offer sacrifices, pray for blessings, ask for heirs, take a crown, tailor, and marry

Lu Zheng'an, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, got up from the bed just after dawn and waited for the little cubs in the family to be served in advance. As soon as they opened, several cousins of the Lu family, as well as the villagers in the village, had already come to the door.

Lu Tiezhuan and Lu Tiezhu, who helped carry Xizhu, both changed into long robes, but because they were big and because they worked in the fields all year round. A face is tanned, and a lake-blue robe looks a little nondescript when worn on the body.

Everyone joked from the village to Lu Zheng'an's house, and the two of them were used to it. Let them laugh, and the big horn flicked his sleeves and walked straight to the bamboo that was erected on the courtyard wall.

At this time, the colored ball on the bamboo has been hung, Lu Tiezhuan shook it, and he was relieved to see that it was hanging very firmly.

"The hour is almost up, when will we leave for the Song family?"

"The ringer team hasn't arrived yet, and when they come, we'll set off at the beginning of the morning and come back in two minutes."

As early as yesterday, everyone had already crossed the route once. I knew roughly what to do, and it wasn't too far to get to town, and I had plenty of time, and everyone was in no hurry, sitting around and laughing and laughing.

Although Lu Zhengan knew that it was still early, he thought that he would be able to bring Song Huaishu into the door today, and he was indescribably anxious in his heart. From time to time, when I look at the rising sun in the east, I always feel that today's time flies very slowly.

At the end of the day, Mrs. Jiang and other official media dressed up and led the loudspeaker team belatedly.

Seeing that Lu Zheng'an was dressed in a blue wedding dress, he looked very handsome, and several people gathered around him and praised him.

When Lu Zhengan was being praised and sweating, Li Erwang on the side shouted like a savior: "The hour is almost up." ”

Hearing this, several matchmakers remembered that they still had a lot of things to do, and immediately dispersed from Lu Zheng'an's side and began to get busy.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan pulled the hem of his somewhat wrinkled clothes and couldn't help but sigh. Just as Lu Zhengan was about to greet the people who had gone to pick up his relatives and was about to leave, Lu Yang entered the courtyard out of breath.

Looking at Lu Zheng'an, who was already dressed, Lu Yang was obviously relieved.

"Why did my aunt come here?"

When Lu Yang heard Lu Zheng'an's words, his face was apologetic, "I couldn't come over to help yesterday, and I couldn't help it." It's your day, so I can't come and see. Luckily, I finally caught up. ”

Lu Zhengan knew that Lu Changgen and Lu Yang's family were in a great dilemma between him and Lu Zhengping, so Lu Zhengan did not force it from the beginning. At this time, Lu Yang was able to come over, and Lu Zheng'an was only grateful in his heart.

"Isn't it time to go?" Lu Yang stretched out his hand to help Lu Zhengan cut his hair.

"Well, I'm leaving."

Hearing this, Lu Yang nodded, saw Mrs. He come out with a tied red flower, and said: "Your grandfather entrusted you to the two of us before he died, and today is your happy day, so I will ask you to be your elder once." I'll hang this color for you. ”

Lu Zhengan knew that Lu Yang was sincere to him, and when he heard what she said, he naturally would not refuse. After answering, he lowered his head and let Lu Yang hang the safflower diagonally around his neck, and then went around his back to tie the safflower well.

After seeing the big red flower put on Lu Zheng'an's chest upright, Lu Yang looked at Lu Zheng'an, who was more than a head taller than himself, and smiled with satisfaction.

……

At the beginning of the morning, after a crackling sound of firecrackers sounded at the door of the Lu family's small courtyard, a team of nearly ten people set off in a majestic manner.

Lu Tieniu, who was carrying a bag full of firecrackers and holding incense sticks, led a group of people to follow the forest path, blowing the loudspeaker team, and ticking the way in front.

And Lu Zheng'an was dressed in a blue wedding dress, with a big red flower hanging on his chest, and his crotch was holding a tall horse, and Li Erwang led the reins behind the two happy bamboos, and walked down the mountain slowly.

When he arrived at the intersection at the foot of the mountain, Lu Tieniu took out a small whip from the cloth bag and lit it and threw it out.

There were not many people on the way to Hualong Town, and Lu Zhengan did not encounter anyone from the interception team. It wasn't until we entered the town, less than 50 meters, that I saw someone carrying a stool and blocking the middle of the road.

Mrs. Jiang had already told Lu Zhengan about the unexpected situation she might encounter when welcoming her relatives, so she did not panic when she saw this kind of obstruction.

Lu Tieniu hurriedly took out a large handful of peanuts from another bag and sprinkled them to everyone, and when the passers-by next to him grabbed them, the greeting team took the opportunity to rush forward.

This was repeated repeatedly, and by the time Lu Zhengan and his party arrived at the small courtyard where the Song family was located, the time was already close to the end of the hour.

Fortunately, there was no one from the Song family blocking the door, and after Lu Zhengan knocked on the door three times and shouted, 'Huaishu, I'm here to pick you up,' several neighbors who were guarding the door also let go happily.

At this time, Song Huaishu had been preparing for a long time, wearing red flowers and sitting in the hall looking at the door worriedly.

After hearing Lu Zhengan's voice, the whole person immediately wanted to stand up. However, after noticing the funny eyes of all the relatives in the house, he hurriedly retracted his feet with a red face.

The people in the room and Song Huaishu usually just met and said hello, and there were not many ordinary contacts. Seeing that Song Huai's writing is weak, he is a good offspring who is extremely humble and polite.

Although he was surprised that the Song family would find a man for him to form a contract with such a family background, but looking at Song Huaishu's appearance at this time, he didn't mean to look down on it, he just thought it was interesting.

Today is the big day of Song Huaishu, and Lan Mengcheng, as his maternal uncle, is naturally going to be there.

Lan Mengcheng knew in his heart that even if he did not approve of this marriage, the matter was now a foregone conclusion. Moreover, his eldest sister and brother-in-law were optimistic about this son-in-law, and it was not his turn to express any opinions.

And Lan Mengcheng's wife, Lan Jiang, sat at the bottom of her husband's hand, looking at her husband's face, and her heart was a little drumming. Just when I was fidgeting and not knowing what to do, I suddenly heard a burst of firecrackers outside.

The unsuspecting Lan Jiang clan was taken aback, and when he saw the guests in the courtyard rushing to the door, he knew that it was his new son-in-law who had arrived, and he couldn't help but want to go out to see the excitement. It's just that because of his husband, Lan Jiang had to sit upright on the chair and didn't dare to move.

Song Lan glanced at his younger brother's black face, pinched the handkerchief embroidered with treasure flowers to cover his mouth and coughed.

Lan Mengcheng was brought up by her eldest sister since she was a child, and when she heard the other party's cough with a reminder, she didn't understand what she meant.

Cautiously glanced at the eldest sister's face, subconsciously adjusted her sitting posture, and the expression on her face slowly softened.

Seeing this, Song Lan took a sip of the teacup with satisfaction, and when she heard that the person receiving her relatives seemed to have entered the door, she straightened her clothes and turned her head to look at Song Huaishu beside her.

At this time, Song Huaishu's eyes were firmly fixed on the door, looking at the appearance of his hands clasped, his mind had obviously already flown out of the house.

Seeing Song Huaishu like this, Song Lanshi didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while. In my mind, I suddenly remembered a sentence that Song Xiren once said: My son is not left!

As soon as Lu Zhengan walked to the door, he saw Song Huaishu sitting between Song Lan and Song Xiren in a blue wedding dress.

Seeing Lu Zhengan coming, the two elders stood up from the stool with Song Huaishu in both hands, and walked to the middle of the living room step by step.



After Lu Zhengan entered the living room, the two elders of the Song family handed Song Huaishu's hand into Lu Zhengan's hands.

Although he had already been mentally prepared, when this moment really came, Song Xiren was still extremely reluctant in his heart.

Overlapping Lu Zhengan's hand with Song Huaishu's, Song Xiren looked at the two of them and instructed: "After today, you will be real adults." In the days to come, we must be humble to each other, support each other, and understand each other. ”

"Father, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of Huai Shu and will not let him suffer a trace of grievances!"

Hearing Lu Zhengan's assurance, Song Xiren nodded with relief. "Good, good, you're a good boy, I believe what you say."

On the other hand, what Song Huaishu should say and instruct here, Song Lanshi had already finished talking to Song Huaishu last night. Looking at his reddish eyes, Song Lan touched his head lovingly, and said softly: "Have a good time with Zheng'an." ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu nodded vigorously.

After Lu Zhengan waited for the hands of the two elders of the Song family to let go, he held Song Huaishu's hand firmly in his palm. After the two glanced at each other, they tacitly turned to face Song Xiren and Song Lan, and in the surprised eyes of the two, they lifted the hem of their clothes and knelt down.

Seeing the two of them like this, Song Xiren and Song Lan hurriedly reached out to stop them, but they were stopped by Lan Mengcheng on the side.

"This kneeling thanks to my parents for their years of nurturing."
