In a flash, the day of marrying Di arrived, and her wedding was held in a very grand manner, even more grand than the pomp of Mrs. Fu Yin marrying his daughter-in-law.
Although Zhaodi's husband's family is not an official family, it can't stand the richness of the family. In addition, it is also to show the importance he attaches to Princess Zhan (after all, Zhaodi is a person close to Princess Zhan, and she is also a sister to Princess Zhan), so Li The family directly spent 10,000 taels of silver and held a wedding that caused a sensation in the entire Jizhou city.
Seeing this grand and prominent scene, Zhaodi knew it was because of Princess Zhan, but she was still very moved.
Before Princess Zhan took them in, she was just a poor little beggar who was about to be sold by her parents to an inferior brothel, a little beggar who couldn't even get enough to eat, never dreamed that she would be as rich as she is today!
It's all thanks to Princess Zhan that she has a good life now. In this life, she can't finish the kindness that Princess Zhan has shown her. She can only ask her two younger sisters to serve Princess Zhan with all her heart. You must swear allegiance to her to the death, no matter when, where, or under any circumstances, you must not betray her!
Both Lingdi and Daidi naturally agreed. Princess Zhan is so kind to their sisters. Even if her sister doesn't tell them, they will swear allegiance to her. In fact, it's not just to repay Princess Zhan's great kindness to them. , but also for their own future.
The two little girls knew in their hearts that the reason why the Li family gave the second sister such a grand wedding was all because of Princess Zhan's face, otherwise the second sister was an unknown country girl, no matter how good she was, she would not be able to marry her. It is possible to marry her, at least, it is impossible to marry her as a regular wife.
They figured it out, followed Princess Zhan to have meat to eat, and the eldest and second sisters were like this, otherwise, depending on their conditions, even if they were looking for a muddy leg, they would not be able to find a good family.
Who told them to have such a miserable pair of parents, born in such a wicked family? Seeing their sister's ostentatious wedding, both of them secretly vowed that they must serve Princess Zhan well, and strive to be like the two sisters in the future, and they can marry well!
Qiaozhen’s sister-in-law, her husband Guo Shouchang, and their four daughters were all in Jizhou, and they were lucky enough to attend the wedding. Several villagers from Dachuner, Daqing, and Fenghuang villages came to deliver goods (vermicelli and dried tofu) just in time When Zhao Di got married, they all attended the wedding.
Seeing such a majestic scene, these simple and honest villagers of Fenghuang Village were really stunned. They stared at Zhaodi wearing a bright red wedding dress of Shu brocade, full of pearls and emeralds, like a dream. A lot of people followed behind, and sat in the eight-carried sedan chair like a daughter of a thousand gold. Behind them was the twenty-carried dowry given by Prince Zhan's mansion, and four maids and mother-in-law were married. No one can compare to marrying a daughter-in-law!
After returning to Taohua Village, Da Chun'er and others regarded the wedding as a source of gossip, and talked about and publicized it wantonly in the village, and soon everyone in the village knew about it.
Shen Dachui heard that his second daughter was married so well, he almost felt aggrieved, that was his daughter, his own daughter, now married to the president of the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce, and it was said that the dowry alone cost eighteen, but he But he didn't even get a single copper coin, how can he not feel aggrieved
However, it's useless to be aggrieved. Those dead girls rely on the backing of Shen Lanya, Princess Zhan, and they don't recognize him as an old man, let alone let him borrow everything. He can only listen to him through other people's mouths. How beautiful and decent those dead girls are, if he wants to take advantage of them, that is absolutely impossible!
Shen Dachui's daughter-in-law and old lady Ma were also very annoyed after hearing this letter. Their family is the poorest family in the village, but all the girls in the village are counted. The family caught up with their daughter and got married well. Shen Laoer took advantage of the daughter's light to become a happy man, and his wife was also appointed as a wife, but the two of them didn't borrow any light, so they sold it at the beginning. They got those tens of taels of silver, and even a hairpin on Zhaodi's body probably cost more than that!
Goudaner is greedy for money. Hearing that his second sister married so well, he yelled at his parents to go to Jizhou to ask his second sister for money. Since she is so rich now, it is right to give them some flowers.
However, Shen Dachui and Old Ma Pozi didn't dare to go to Jizhou to find Zhaodi. Even though they dared to go back to Fenghuang Village, they really didn't dare to go to Jizhou. In her heart, Princess Zhan can understand this, so even if they come back, she will not be very angry.
But going to Jizhou is different. They go to Jizhou bawdy, and they can figure out with their heels that they are looking for Zhaodi to fight the autumn wind. Princess Zhan said that they are not allowed to harass them any more. Jizhou is the territory of Princess Zhan. They How dare you violate her taboo on her territory? Isn't that a chaser looking for death
Therefore, they can only listen to how beautiful those girls are, and they still have to rely on Shen Dachui's work to earn a few pennies to survive.
In addition to being aggrieved, Shen Dachui and the old lady Ma also secretly regretted that they didn't treat them well at the beginning. If they loved their daughters as much as other families in the village, these daughters are promising, can they ignore their mother's family? Why are they living such a hard life now
It's a pity that there are no regret medicines in this world. People are heartbroken by them. Even if they regret all their intestines, it won't help. In this life, they can only spend their lives in poverty and regret...
After the villagers of Fenghuang Village heard about Zhaodi's magnificent wedding, besides being envious, they all had an extra thought—that is, the girls must be raised well and pampered, and they must not be like Shen Dachui, who raised the girls until the end. If you don't even recognize them, that's what you worry about!
Now, because of the two golden phoenixes Shen Ruolan and Shen Ruoju flying out of Fenghuang Village, the entire village and even the nearby villages are a bit inclined to favor women over men. Sighing and sighing, now it's the other way around, it's the family who gave birth to a daughter He Xi and set the banquet. Although having a son is not enough to sigh, but it is definitely not as happy as having a daughter.
Now, hearing that the daughter of Shen Dachui's family has soared into the sky, they cherish her daughter even more!
Raising a promising daughter is much better than raising an ordinary son. Fenghuang Village has already produced three promising daughters, but not a single promising son has been raised yet.
In December, Zhang Xingwang finally rushed back to Taohua Village from Fuzhou thousands of miles away.
He hasn't been home for two years. Although he doesn't think about his wife Cui Shi at all, he misses his son and grandson, even Zhang Jinfeng's poor girl, so when he comes back this time, he He generously bought a lot of gifts for each of his children and grandchildren. As for Cui Shi, he didn't even buy her a hair. Since she likes silver, he can just give her silver, and save him from bothering to buy things for her. .
Now, Zhang Xingwang is also rich, at least a thousand taels of silver.
His five-spice peanut business in Jizhou is doing very well, and he has already linked up with the army, that is, he produces five-spice peanuts and then sells them to the army. Because the army has a large demand, his business is very good. Making money, the current him, the average local tyrant and country gentry can't compare.
As soon as Zhang Xingwang returned to the village, he was immediately stunned by the changes in the village. In the formerly dilapidated Taohua Village, almost every household lived in brick houses, and some even repaired brick courtyard sets and brick pigsty brick toilets. very.
Looking around, there are only three or five families in the whole village with earth-embryo houses, and those three or five families are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or rogue and lazy. It is reasonable to live in dilapidated houses.
"Oh my mother, you old man, why are you back? Hey my mother, you are finally back... You still know you're back? I thought you died and went away!"
Cui, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, saw Zhang Xingwang get off the carriage, and the chicken food bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a thump. She first made a fuss and yelled, and then suddenly burst into tears, crying very aggrieved up.
In the past two years, she has lived in fear and anxiety, fearing that her old man will be like her son-in-law, who will be raised by a wild woman and live with other women. Although she always knew that the old man looked down on her, she didn't want to lose him, did she? No matter how noisy the two are, with him, this is a complete family, but if he is gone, the family will fall apart. After all, the children will have their own family, and she has become a lonely family.
She has never been able to endure loneliness, she is afraid of being alone!
Seeing the return of the old man who had been away from home for two years, Cui couldn't help but feel aggrieved besides being pleasantly surprised.
She burst into tears, crying and complaining: "You old bastard, it's been two years since you thought of going home... Tell me, are you raising wild old women outside..."
Zhang Xingwang saw the old woman grinning and crying and howling, he couldn't help but panicked, and roared angrily: "Shut up, if you keep howling, I will leave immediately, and I will never come back in this life."
This sentence was very effective, as soon as the words fell, Cui's crying stopped abruptly.
At this time, Zhang Dayong, Zhang Sanyong, Zhang Dayong's wife and two children, and Zhang Jinfeng who were in the house all heard the movement outside and rushed out to see it.
"Emma, dad, why are you back?" Zhang Jinfeng shouted like her mother when she saw her dad.
The old Zhangtou said: "This is my home, what am I going to do if I don't come back?"
"Then where have you been for the past two years? Why haven't you been home for two years?" Zhang Jinfeng immediately started complaining mode when he saw his father, "Father, you are back, you don't even know, Your daughter, I was deceived by others. I am neither human nor ghost. I just wait for you to come back and make decisions for me. That pig butcher is not human, but he deceived me. Let me tell you... .”
"Don't talk about it, move things first, and talk about it later in the evening."
Zhang Xingwang interrupted her impatiently, and shifted his eyes from the elder son and grandson to Zhang Sanyong. Seeing that the two sons are doing well and the two grandsons have grown up, he nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered them to come over. move things.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and big bags and packages appeared in front of everyone's eyes, almost filling up the car.
As soon as Cui Shi saw these old things, she immediately forgot the grievance in her heart, slapped her big hand on her face, wiped away her tears, and said loudly: "Emma, did you get rich or did you drop it? Why did you buy it?" What about these old things? Did you lose all the money you earned in the past two years?"
When Zhang Xingwang saw her face when she raised the money, he felt disgusted in his heart, and said in a bad voice: "Five hundred taels of silver, I will give it to you later, and you will keep the money for the rest of your life."
Li Shi and Zhang Sanyong's eyes lit up when they heard that the old man brought back the old money, and Zhang Jinfeng also grinned happily: "Father, are you rich? Then give me some money too." You don't even know, my mother is so picky, you are not at home, she is not willing to give me a penny, she is reluctant to buy me a snack, and she will drive me back to my grandson's house every now and then... "
"Put your mother's spiral fart, if I pick it? Can you raise a married girl like you for nothing? Can you eat our family's grain for a year for nothing? You are a wolf-hearted thing, and your heart is eaten by dogs? If you say such ignorant words, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning..."
"Mother, just stop talking. My father just came back, can you let him calm down for a while?" Zhang Sanyong persuaded his mother not to chat with Zhang Jinfeng while pulling the package down from the car.
