Chapter 188: Marriage Congratulations
I can't bear the pain of having to receive guests for two days in a row. I'm so sleepy that I feel sleepy~
=======》《======Dividing line=====》《=======
Everyone in the Zhu family attaches great importance to Zhu's marriage, not only because of Fu's identity, but also because Yang always feels that Zhu's life is miserable and hopes that she can change her luck through this marriage and live smoothly in the future. , so even though Zhu said everyone was prepared for the dowry, Yang still racked her brains to give her more dowry.
But now no one in the family will raise any objections to this, and everyone is happily making preparations. Although it is not the first time for Zhu to get married, he is still a little shy and can't help it, so Zhi'er is asked to come forward to arrange many things. Since the 188th chapter, Zhu eldest sister has only stayed at home to do needlework and watched Brother Liu, and has not gone out to show her face.
Liu Ge'er was originally a little worried that Zhu would not be in pain after getting married, so he was originally in a depressed mood. But these days, Zhu has been with him at home every day, coaxing him to play, and teaching him how to read. The thoughts of a child It was all very simple. He was not unhappy with Fu Ben. Seeing that he didn't express his love for the marriage, he didn't think it was a big deal.
Mrs. Fang has been instructed by Mrs. Yang to be very busy these days. All kinds of things must have good meanings. She is so busy that she feels dizzy. Everything at home has been completely forgotten by Hehua. Sometimes she can't think about it. The one who came up with a solution was looking for He Hua, and He Hua was also tortured a lot. When it was time to put on autumn fat, both of them lost weight.
In mid-September, Mei Zi also returned to her parents' house to help. After talking to Mrs. Yang for a while, she was sent to help Mrs. Fang count the dowry and pack it into boxes. As soon as she entered the door of the east chamber, she said in surprise, "Second sister-in-law, look at this... A lot thinner than the last time I saw him. "
"Before, I was busy with the farm work, and then my wedding came up. Whenever I have something on my mind, I always feel like I can't eat or sleep well. I wonder if there is anything wrong. I'll wait until this happens. Chapter 188 I wish the eldest sister will get better after she gets married." Fang and Mei Zi suddenly forgot about the books they had counted halfway through, and couldn't help but pat their foreheads and take them out again.
Meizi stepped forward and took over the work from Fang's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, please rest for a while, I'll do it." Then she lowered her voice and asked with a smile, "Does Mom nag every day?" "
"Mom is just too nervous about the wedding." Fang said, rubbing her shoulders.
"Yes, you scolded me just now for not helping me earlier. Didn't you say we won't get married until October? Suddenly you mentioned September?" Mei Zi is quick in her work and does her job correctly.
"Mom asked someone to do the math again and said that although there are good days in October, September is a perfect match for Fu He's horoscope, so she changed it to September." Fang explained to Mei Zi.
"No wonder, I wanted to be early, but a few days ago, my mother-in-law's brother-in-law came all the way to celebrate her birthday. If I left, there would be no one at home to take care of the children. My mother-in-law just did it yesterday. I woke up early this morning, but I still got a good rap from my mother. So if she said something about you, just don’t take it to heart. "
"We've been together for so many years. What kind of person is our mother? Can I still do it?" When Mrs. Fang saw her sister-in-law in the room, she didn't shy away. She went directly to the kang and lay down straight, and then said with some emotion, " I used to stand without pain in my back. The last time I bought a betrothal gift for Jasmine, I learned the lesson. I really wish I could give her a good dowry. Jasmine still has plenty, and it will take another year or two to get married. I I’m just thinking about this when I have nothing to do. I guess when Jasmine’s good days are about to come, I’ll be even more nagging than my mother.”
"It's all about being a mother," Mei Zi also said with emotion, "Now in the blink of an eye, I am also the mother of two children. In the past, I thought mothers were nagging, but now that I have become a mother, I understand how much care I have for my children. It’s like even the instructions are not enough.”
"Your family is in good condition, so you just have to take care of the house and the children. Think about how poor our family was back then. We raised our children one by one like sheep. How could you have the peace and mind to care about me?" But now the life of the family has improved, and the children are now so big. Bo Rong is about to be a father, and Jasmine is now a tall and graceful girl." Mrs. Fang turned to look at Mei Zi, "Even you As a mother of two children, life flies by so fast, and I am old in the blink of an eye."
"That's what you are talking about. You are not old." Mei Zi sneered and said, "My boss and my parents are both here, how can you get your turn to talk about being old?"
"That's true." Mrs. Fang also laughed after hearing this, and got up to work with Mei Zi again, "I've been very happy these days. Did you just see that? Everyone you see every day is smiling so hard that you can't even see your eyebrows." Yes, Hehua whispered to me that day, saying that my grandfather seems to be picking up ingots every day lately."
Mei Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing. I thought it was almost the same, but he was just as happy as picking up silver every day. When I watched it just now, he pulled me and said yes, yes, he said yes to whatever I said. "
The family is almost busy, and the red silk, red lanterns, window grilles, and happy words are all ready. However, these cannot be hung up yet. They are all placed in the east wing of the house, waiting to be hung up in the early morning of the wedding day. stand up.
Bo Rong also took two days off in advance to help with the work. When he got home, he told He Hua that Jian Yu had already told his family about the mushrooms, but his family was reconciling the accounts this month and would have to wait until next month. mushroom. "
Hehua pulled Bo Rong aside and asked her elder brother in a low voice, what is going on with Qi Xiangping? Still haven’t heard from you yet? "
"All the yamen in the city are like this. Cases are delayed one after another, just to squeeze out more money. But the main squeeze is the shopkeeper who opened the shop. Qi Xiangping is just a pawn, but the main case has not yet been Once his hair falls, he will have no choice but to be held in prison and dragged there, with Jian Yu's instructions on his side, so nothing will go wrong."
Hehua felt relieved after hearing this. It seemed that she was too impatient, but I heard that I saw Qi Da in the city a few days ago. "
"Qi Da?" He Hua asked in surprise, "Since he didn't go back to the village, he wandered around the city?" Then he shook his head and said, "Ignore him, it has nothing to do with us. Since you asked for leave, you can't do it." Please help with the work, I'm still thinking that after my aunt's wedding is over, I should go up to the mountain to pick up walnuts and crack pine nuts."
"You're just like a squirrel, so why don't you get tired of eating pine nuts and walnuts?" Bo Rong was very amused by Lotus's behavior of storing nuts for the winter every year.
He Hua reached out and pinched his arm and said, "Young Master, are you eating less of the eight-treasure rice and walnut candies that you usually make during the Chinese New Year?" "
"Okay, I've spoken. I've asked for a few days' leave. I won't take the leave until I'm twenty in school. After my aunt's wedding is over, can I accompany you up the mountain?" Bo Rong stretched out his hand to pinch He Hua's cheek. Nose said, "Okay, didn't you just say you were working? If you have something to do, I will obey Miss Hehua's instructions."
"You go boil the water, and I'll go catch the chicken in the backyard. I can't kill the chicken. The last time Bonin tried his best to kill the chicken, he ended up cutting the chicken half-dead. It was flapping its wings and moving around. The jump caused blood all over the yard, and I couldn’t even take a bite of the stewed chicken that day. Now when I see the chicken being killed, I quickly run away.” He Hua recalled with a grimace.
Bo Rong was amused and laughed, "That boy is really naughty. I originally thought that he had been studying steadily for the past few years and had changed his temper. It seems that he is still the same solid-skinned person as when he was a child."
"Nature is easy to change but hard to change. Do you think you are honest?" He Hua and Bo Rong carried firewood in and put firewood on the stove pits on the left and right to boil water. "In the past, those who had to fight with people with an ax were all Who is it not?"
"Who? Who is fighting with an axe?" Shuanzi poked his head out of the room and asked.
"Go, go and do your work." Hehua waved towards Shuanzi and said.
"Qie" Shuanzi stuck out his tongue at Lotus, and then greeted Bo Rong, "Brother, I will show you the calligraphy I have practiced these days tonight."
"Okay, bring it to me tonight to see if you have made any progress." Bo Rong rubbed Shuanzi's head and said, "Let me help you with your work first."
There will be a banquet in two days. In the countryside, the banquet is held at home. Mrs. Yang can’t wait to invite all her relatives and friends, as well as the neighbors in the village. After the initial congratulations on He Li, the folks in the countryside Ming Li She had heard a lot of secret cynicism, and now that Zhu was not only remarried but also doing well, and having such a good opportunity to make her feel proud, she might not take it seriously.
She was so happy that she didn't feel tired even though she was busy back and forth. Moreover, it was not her turn to do the rough and heavy work. Fang, Lin, Meizi and Zhier were all doing it, killing chickens, stripping feathers, and killing pigs. , enema, stewed meat, raw bean sprouts, garlic seedlings, fried vegetarian meatballs, minced meat fillings, the whole family was very tired.
On the first night of the wedding, all kinds of side dishes were prepared at home. Mrs. Yang specially asked Zhu Laosi to go to the city and hire a chef to cook the dishes. In the evening, they all told them one by one that all the side dishes should be different. Get off your guard, especially you little ones, no one is allowed to be naughty, otherwise I will take care of you afterwards."
Because she had to get up very early the next day, Mrs. Fang simply put the children to sleep in the left and right rooms of the old yard. She and Meizi went to find Mrs. Lin to spend the night together, and only let Zhu Yongxin and Zhu Laosi go to her home. sleep.
No one had the energy to chat at night, so they basically fell asleep on the pillows. He Hua felt that as soon as she closed her eyes, Yang woke up again.
Looking at the dark sky outside, she lay flat on her back and stretched out her aching lower back. She heard Yang's urging voice sounded outside again. Jasmine had already lit the oil lamp, and Shaoyao had put on her clothes and started folding the quilt, not daring to do anything more. He stood up, quickly put on his clothes, folded the quilt and put it in the kangqin, and then went out to paste window grilles and happy words on each house with Jasmine and Shaoyao. Bo Rong led a few boys outside Hang lanterns and pull red silk.
By the time it got dark, the Zhu family's old courtyard had been completely decorated. Old Zhu and Mrs. Yang brought out new clothes for the old man to put on. They were all dressed up and were waiting to receive their daughter's gift when they came to pick up the bride later. .
The earthen stove in the yard was set up two days ago, with two long wooden boards set up inside, and pots, pans, chopsticks, spoons and other items borrowed from the folks' homes were placed on them. Fang, Lin and Zhi'er were already busy laying out the prepared materials on the shelves. Hehua helped put the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar into two bowls and placed them on the middle shelf of the two earthen stoves. Use it conveniently when letting the chef cook.
Yang checked the furnishings and supplies inside and outside. After making a lot of money, he frowned and asked Shuanzi Niang, where did the plum go? "
"Mom, have you forgotten? Mei Zi is now in full condition, and she is dressing up in the house." Fang answered without raising her head while she was scraping fish scales.
Yang slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my memory." "After that, he turned around and went back into the house.
The yard was already filled with round tables, which were all borrowed from various families in the village the day before. They were all arranged neatly. Shaoyao watched the boys at home placing dishes and chopsticks on each table. Yang came from the house again. Li rushed out and asked the fourth child, "I asked you to go to the city to buy good wine that day. Where did you buy it?" "
"Mom, didn't I tell you yesterday that they were all placed in the shade outside the west wing? You've asked me several times." Zhu Laosi was sweating profusely after setting the table. He couldn't help but replied a little impatiently.
Mrs. Lin quickly stopped talking to Dao Niang. I'll go get the wine, and you can just go into the house and accompany me. "After persuading Mrs. Yang to go back to the house, Mrs. Lin pinched Zhu Laosi's lower back and said, "Isn't it going to be okay? Don't be unhappy with your wife on your big day. "
Zhu Laosi was so angry that he lost all his temper. He rubbed his nose and said, "I'll go get all the wine jars out." He turned around and saw He Huachong smiling winkingly. He stretched out his hand and said, "Smelly girl, are you seeing your fourth uncle's joke?" "
"No way." He Hua dodged his claws and continued to cut the cold plates of pork liver and pork heads. Then he directed Boning, Shuanzi and Liu Geer to put them on the table one by one, and occasionally put the cut pieces on the table. The tendons were stuffed into the mouths of several boys to give them some sweetness.
It was getting brighter, and Widow Wang couldn't help but sent Xianghua to help. Qi Laowu and Qi Laowu also helped.
Qi Laowu helped chop firewood for a while and then grabbed the lotus passing by and asked Hehua, "Can you sell some seeds for me to plant some of the corn your family grows next year?" Your fifth aunt said last time that your corn noodle pancakes were delicious. I was thinking about planting a few rows of them at home. "
"Uncle Wu, if you say you only want to plant a few rows to satisfy your hunger, then you might as well trade your family's grain for it. If you say you want to plant a few acres, then I will leave some seeds for you." Hehua replied, "Only However, my corns are all grown in the south, and I always feel that they are not growing very well. I am thinking about selecting seeds for another year and planting them again.”
"I think your family only eats it as food and doesn't sell it?" Qi Laowu asked.
"Yeah, we in the north don't recognize that. Last time I asked, I couldn't get the price, so my family simply sold all the sorghum and kept the corn for our own consumption." Hehua nodded and said, "So I said that if you just want to please the fifth aunt, you can just bring some grain to my house to exchange for corn, so as not to have to wait for the same thing."
Qi Laowu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, laughed twice and said, OK, will your family have enough money this year? I'll exchange it for fifty pounds tomorrow. I'm not used to eating that. Your aunt said it was delicious, and the two little boys at home also started to make noises. "
"There are only semi-dry ones in the warehouse. If you want to change them, you have to wait. The remaining corn noodles at home are all old from last year. If you are not in a hurry, just wait a few more days. I will call you after the new ones are dried and polished. You." It was not difficult, and Hehua naturally agreed.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Just go ahead and ask around first." After Qi Laowu got the accurate information, he happily helped with the work again.
The cook Jian Cheng hired also arrived. Zhu Yongxin brought the person in to explain a few words. The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers could be heard outside the door. It was Fu Lai who was here to welcome the bride.
Zhu Laosi stood in the yard and shouted, "Close the door, close the door quickly."
Boning and Boyuan slammed the door shut, inserted the latch inside, and then blocked the door and shouted, "If you want to come in, please bring me the red envelope."
Coins were suddenly thrown in from outside, and the children who were joining in the fun immediately started looting. Only Bonin and Borong still stood firm and shouted for red envelopes. Hehua walked up behind them and said if you don't open the door, I will go to school tomorrow to beat you. "
Hearing this, the two boys quickly shrank back and looked innocent. Hehua took the red envelope that was stuffed under the door at the right time, turned around and ran away, turning back to shout at the two boys who were glaring at each other. "Please open the door quickly"
Hehua took advantage of this opportunity and ran into the back room, closed the door and faced Aunt Zhudao who was sitting on the kang. Fu came to pick her up. "
Meizi seemed to be as lively as a girl again. She blocked the door and forced Fu to write three makeup poems before giving up.
It was almost late autumn, and Fu was sweating profusely from the fuss. Seeing that he had finally opened the boudoir, he stood at the door and wiped his sweat, completely forgetting what to do next.
The young people who were joining in the fun all started to laugh, and finally He Hua kindly reminded her not to ask my uncle to carry the bride to the sedan chair. "
Only then did Fu come to his senses, turned around and stuffed a red envelope into Boss Zhu's hand and said "Thank you for your hard work, brother."
When the elder Zhu heard that his elder brother was so happy, he forgot to make things difficult for the groom. He entered the house and carried Zhu to the gate of the courtyard. After Fu and Zhu kowtowed to Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Yang, Zhu got on the sedan chair. The welcoming team went around most of Zhujia Village before sending people into their new houses.
