Since the hazy love between the two was broken with Lin Siyao two days ago, all the preparations for marriage have been put on the schedule for the next two days.
Fortunately, she had secretly embroidered the wedding robes and hipas of the two of them, otherwise it would have been too late. What Su Shuilin didn't know was that Lin Siyao knew it for a long time. It should be said that he found out on the day she just bought the red silk and satin. I was just afraid that she would be more than shy, so I didn't say it clearly.
In the past two days, Su Shuilin went to the cloth shop to search around again, picked out a few festive satin and silk brocades, and hurriedly embroidered two auspicious quilts of mandarin ducks playing in the water and peony, and a pair of the same auspicious quilt. Two-person long pillowcases and pillowcases in assorted colors. They added a new set of purple brocade shirts to wear after their wedding.
I also took the time to go to the cotton shop and made a quilt and a quilt, two thin and two thick beds. As for the cotton clothes to wear in winter, Su Shuilin only made two cotton linings for the two of them. As for the outer robe, she had come to embroider and sew it herself.
In the past few days, although the new house has been arranged properly, the two of them still returned to the inn at night, and came back to clean up the next morning. New home, they want to choose an auspicious day to move in. Now, not only are they going to get married together, but they must remain solemnly until the auspicious day.
Therefore, the two wolf cubs did not follow. Because the big dog house built by Lin Siyao and Feng Laoliu was just finished yesterday. It was placed on the south side of the backyard cherry tree.
The inn's wife, the shopkeeper, learned that the two were going to get married and move to a new house in the next few days, and specifically asked her and her two sons to come to the house to ask for a wedding drink.
Thinking of this, Su Shuilin thought that they had to hold a banquet.
Originally, I thought that the two of them are alone here, and it doesn't matter if there is a banquet, as long as you go to the kitchen, fry two hot dishes, and warm the pot of wine, you will be done. But now, Aunt Lao and the shopkeeper's wife have spoken, and they are coming for wedding wine. Should it be arranged otherwise.
So Lin Siyao asked Feng Laoliu for help. Since Feng Laoliu took two jobs and got a lot of good wood for nothing, he was very grateful to Lin Siyao. As soon as he heard that he was busy with a wedding, he immediately started to do it without saying a word.

The seventh day of August. The weather is fine.
Su Shuilin twisted the red silk threads into big red spikes of the same thickness and length, and tied them to the furniture one by one. Not even the feet of the stool. He also pasted the window grilles with the word "Hi", which he just learned from Aunt Lao, on each door and window.
As for Lin Siyao, he walked around the house again, carefully checking what was needed but not ready. As soon as I walked back to the cherry tree, I saw Aunt Lao leading five or six wives, walking along the village road with a smile, and soon knocked on the door of her own courtyard.
"Master Lin, is Su girl not here?"
Seeing that it was Lin Siyao who opened the door, Aunt Lao looked around the yard subconsciously and asked nervously.
Lin Siyao nodded and let them in: "Inside."
Aunt Lao motioned for the wives behind her to enter the door together. When the group faced Lin Siyao, who had a cold temperament, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. A group of women, you pushed me into the courtyard gate.
Seeing the exquisite courtyard in front of them that was completely different from their own style, these women tutted their praises, and when they chatted vigorously, they completely forgot about Lin Siyao who was following behind them.
A group of people entered the main house chatteringly, and just as they met Su Shuilin who heard the sound coming out of the bedroom, they praised it.
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
"Daughter, your house is so well arranged."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Miss Su's craftsmanship to be so skillful! Look at this mandarin duck playing in the water, how vivid it is!"
"Don't talk about it, look at this cloth curtain, although we also have this kind of cotton cloth curtain, but once the girl's hand, how can it change."
"It's not bad for me to look at that roller blind, girl, next time you have to teach me how to do it, so let's go back and show off to the family at home."
"Tsk tsk, have you noticed? Once you enter this house, you still feel like you are in Fanhua Town. It's like a big family in the city."
…
Su Shuilin's ears were reddened by their praise, and while greeting them to be seated, he thought about going to the kitchen to make a pot of hot tea. Just as he was about to leave the bedroom, he saw that Lin Siyao had come in with a white porcelain teapot imitating blue and white, and a string of single-eared teacups in the other hand.
"Young master is really caring, I'm afraid the girl is tired. Hehe..." One of the mothers-in-law laughed and teased after seeing this.
"Don't say it, this Young Master Lin is really capable! The daughter is a blessing!" Aunt Lao also smiled and praised when she heard the mother-in-law of the Zhou family making fun of Su Shuilin.
Su Shuilin couldn't help but look at Lin Siyao who was walking out of the bedroom, facing him who turned his head to look back, his eyes met with condensed tenderness.
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
The mother-in-law of the Zhou family snickered and pushed Aunt Lao. The rest of the mother-in-law also snickered. The blush on Su Shuilin's face shyly spread to his ears and neck.
Seeing this, Lin Siyao left the bedroom with the corners of his mouth raised, and continued to inspect the yard.
"Okay, don't make trouble, you're cheeky, you're ashamed if you haven't seen your daughter." Seeing Lin Siyao going out, Aunt Lao waved her hand to signal the other constricting mothers-in-law to stop frolicking.
"That's right, girl. We came here today, so it's like this. When this girl gets married, someone must put on makeup, which means auspiciousness. Now, neither of you have a family to preside over, and I've been thinking about it these days. It's up to us to add some makeup to our daughter. How about you?" Aunt Lao patted the back of Su Shuilin's hand lightly and suggested with a smile.
Indeed, in a small farm household, even if the dowry is not much if the daughter is married, the third aunt and the sixth wife will add a lot of makeup. What you don't see is very precious, but it's better in the meaning: make more connections and accumulate more blessings.
When Su Shuilin heard that there was such a custom, he nodded and agreed: "Aunt Lao is still thinking of me. It's just that I will trouble you aunts."
"Where is it? We, like the sister-in-law of the Lao family, also have daughters in the family. When the daughters get married next time, the daughters will come to add some makeup. Haha... " The straightforward mother-in-law of the Tian family explained directly. Listen to Su Shuilin, indicating that she doesn't care.
After listening to Aunt Lao's suggestion that they want to add makeup, they had already made plans in their hearts. This Su Shuilin's family is much richer than his own. Next time his daughter gets married, not to mention that he will be able to get it back, and maybe he will be able to pay more. So, no, Aunt Lao called five wives in a row, but no one was willing to come.
"It should be." Su Shuilin nodded with a smile. Not to mention anything else, just relying on their enthusiasm, they should be richer when they put on makeup next time.
"That's it. Let's go back first and do a good job of cleaning up, and come to add makeup to the girl after noon!" Seeing that Su Shuilu happily agreed, Aunt Lao called for the other mother-in-law to go back and prepare the makeup.
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
"Oh, what a hurry, sister-in-law Lao! Let's go shopping in the girl's yard first. It's good to be angry with the mother-in-law of the Hua family when we go out." The mother-in-law of the Tian family called Aunt Lao, turned around and said to Su Shuilin with a smile: "You don't know, then Liu Shi is really hateful. As soon as I learned that you bought the old house of the village chief's family, everyone said: "How can you live in that house? It's better to rent a partial house in my house than buying that broken house. Fifteen taels, tsk tsk" , I bought a broken house. I really can't live." The mother-in-law of the Tian family eloquently recounted the words that the mother-in-law of the Hua family advertised everywhere.
Hearing this, Su Shuilin shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he had forged a relationship with the Liu family when it came to buying a house. But the problem is that the person who broke the contract was obviously not himself, and it was passed on to outsiders. Without knowing it, he also said that he made the Hua family unhappy.
Yes, of course not happy. Forty taels of white flowers could not be found, and all face was stripped away. The hearts of the Hua family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were naturally prickly. Now, if you know that Su Shuilin has actually transformed a crumbling and dilapidated old house into such a fresh and clean, elegant and elegant arrangement, he would not be able to raise his head and continue talking.
…
In the afternoon, Aunt Lao and five other mothers-in-law who had daughters to marry came to Su Shuilin's house on time.
Oh, I forgot to mention that at the beginning, Lin Siyao instructed Feng Lao Liu to make a flat forehead, engraved "Su House" in block letters and hung it on the courtyard gate, but Su Shuilin took it off. Hanging should also hang "Lin Zhai". As a result, nothing hangs at all.
The six of them put on new clothes on purpose, and each of them carried a burden, big or small, in their arms.
Aunt Lao asked Lin Siyao to get a new large basin and put it on the round table in the bedroom.
While talking auspicious words, the six people carefully took out the makeup gifts from their respective bags.
"Daughter, don't laugh at me. Aunt Lao is a bit vulgar, but I will use it in the future." Aunt Lao said as she took out a scale with a weighing plate in her bag. It was small and exquisite. It was her eldest blacksmith who did it himself.
"Yeah, let's, the addition is auspicious." The second person who added makeup was Aunt Tian, who added the fragrant wood comb made by Tian Dafu himself. Six of different sizes and pitches are housed in a box also made of fragrant wood. Really elegant. Su Shuilin thanked him happily.
"I can see it. This girl likes to make exquisite gadgets, but she doesn't look down on practical ones like us." Seeing this, Aunt Lao couldn't help laughing and joking. Su Shuilin was really embarrassed to say it.
Lin Siyao heard the words, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Well, I think she was able to carve wooden chopsticks and wooden soup spoons like works of art in the mountains and forests alone.
"I added a purse that I embroidered by myself. However, after seeing the girl's own embroidery work, I was embarrassed to take it out." The embroiderer of the He family's mother-in-law, Lin's, was originally recognized as the best in Fanhua Town. However, after seeing Su Shuilin's embroidered quilt and pillow towel since noon, the gap is really too big. He went back and hesitated for a while, whether to return the wallet. It's just that, apart from the purse, there seems to be nothing else in the house that can be taken out.
Su Shuilin had already met them under the introduction of Aunt Lao. Naturally, she knew that she was the most outstanding woman in embroidery in Fanhua Town.
"Aunt He, don't say that. I like this purse very much. The original one is very old. I can use this one from you tomorrow." Su Shui shyly took the purse embroidered with emerald green branches, sincerely Thank you Aunt He for the makeup.
"Girl, my family doesn't have any craftsmanship, so I'll send this one. Don't laugh at it." The speaker was the mother-in-law of the Fang family who lived not far from Su Shuilin's house. Her family, young and old, all went to the ground, so she sent a large bag of full-grained seeds. It contains almost all kinds of grain seeds that can be grown here, including beans, cereals, melons and fruits, rapeseeds, etc. Overjoyed, Su Shuilin couldn't help thanking him. These, they really are not prepared. After the autumn harvest, the two acres of fertile land were used by the family, so it was time to reserve seeds.
The rest of the mother-in-law Wang and the mother-in-law Shui gave all the jewelry. One is a finely carved sandalwood hairpin, and the other is a pair of delicate pearl earrings.
Su Shuilin couldn't help thanking them. She has always liked simple jewelry. The dazzling pieces of jewelry that were in the bag were all pressed into the bottom of the box without even thinking about it. All this time, she was wearing the simple jade ornament that Lin Siyao gave her on July 7th.
"Look at this girl, everything is good." Seeing this, Aunt Lao teased her again. It made everyone smile.
