Xu Lian thought of something, "My eldest lady and I have a deep relationship. She followed me when I was poor. I will never shake her position as the eldest wife. Zhaoxi is the legitimate daughter of the Pei family, so it is not easy for her to be wronged. I plan to let Zhaoxi live alone. What do you think, father-in-law?"
Patriarch Pei waved his hands and smiled, "These are all trivial matters. Didn't I give Zhao Xi thirty houses as a dowry? You two can live wherever you like."
There was a pause.
The head of the Pei family continued, "It's a good thing for a capable man to open more households, so that he can support more women, which not only contributes to Green Bamboo Town, but also adds some interest. For example, I also opened a few small households outside and supported some women I liked. When I get bored living in Peijia Village, I will live in a small household and experience life there. It's a different kind of experience."
Pei Heng's eyes widened... How come he didn't know that his father had a small family outside
Seeing Pei Heng's reaction, Xu Lian felt amused and remembered a saying: You can't understand your father's happiness.
Pei Heng thought about it. His father and Xu Lian both had small households, so it made no sense for him not to have one... No! He had to secretly raise a few small households to keep up with the trend!
Pei Zhaoxi's mood was both happy and complicated. She was happy because the engagement was cancelled and she had her family's permission, so she could finally be with Xu Lian. But the complicated thing was that from now on she was completely Xu Lian's woman, and she had lost the free and easy life of the Pei family's eldest daughter.
Xu Lian saw her mentality from a girl to a housewife, took her hand, and said gently, "Zhao Xi, don't be afraid. No matter how you are now or how you will be in the future, I will always treat you well."
Pei Zhaoxi looked at him with red eyes, "But you were never nice to me before!"
Xu Lian hugged her tenderly, lowered his head slightly, and looked into her eyes seriously. "It's different now than before. Now you are completely my woman. I will definitely treat you well."
As if she was not used to Xu Lian's sudden tenderness, Pei Zhaoxi couldn't help crying, buried her head in his arms, and gently hit him, "Then you must treat me like this in the future, and don't bully me rudely anymore."
Xu Lian knew that this was a crucial moment to improve her favorability, so he spoke sweet words to her without any cost...
Of course, leaving aside the issue of favorability, Xu Lian also liked her from the bottom of his heart. Apart from her occasional temper, she didn't have any major problems.
Seeing Xu Lian and Zhao Xi saying these sweet words, Patriarch Pei and Pei Heng were both puzzled. When did Xu Lian and Zhao Xi become so familiar with each other
The Pei family simply hunted some game and then went down the mountain.
It was said to be a collective hunting of the three major families, but in fact it was just a get-together, but no one expected it to end in a bad way.
The head of the Pei family and Pei Huan both had smiles on their faces and were in a good mood. They were fully aware of the relationship between Xu Lian and the Mining Inspector, and had reached a marriage agreement with Xu Lian, which would be of great help to the Pei family!
Although the relationship with the Fang family has broken down, it's over. As one of the three major families, the Pei family is not afraid of the Fang family.
noon.
Xu Lian and the Pei family returned to Peijiazhuang.
The Pei family grilled the game they had just hunted and ate barbecue together.
During the banquet, Xu Lian was warmly entertained and became the center of attention.
After lunch.
The Pei family began to prepare the dowry in full swing. Peijiazhuang had everything, so it was convenient to prepare. They also spread the news that Xu Lian was marrying Pei Zhaoxi, the eldest daughter of the Pei family.
As expected, it caused a sensation in the entire Green Bamboo Town!
Xu Lian has almost become a "legendary figure" in the eyes of ordinary people. He went from a stone mover to a stone transporter, to the deputy manager of a mine, and then to the chief manager of a new mine. Now, he has married the daughter of the Pei family, one of the three largest families. Such a counterattack is most likely to resonate with ordinary people.
In just one afternoon, the common people had already started to clamor to change the name of the three largest families in Lvzhu Town to the four largest families in Lvzhu Town, with the addition of the Xu family!
evening.
Xu Lian, with a big red flower on his shoulder and riding a tall horse, slowly walked out of Peijiazhuang.
Behind them, there was a sedan chair carried by eight people, and Pei Zhaoxi, with a red veil covering her head, was sitting inside.
Behind them were carriages loaded with dowry, like a long dragon with no end in sight.
The deeds to thirty shops, thirty houses, the deeds to three thousand acres of land, three thousand taels of gold, thirty thousand taels of silver, as well as thirty cartloads of grain, and thirty cartloads of various gifts, such as wedding candies, wedding cakes, and wedding biscuits.
Further back, there were the dowry maids, wet nurses, servant girls, maidservants, servants and other personnel.
Small teams of guards patrolled back and forth on horseback to maintain order.
This is the real ten miles of red makeup!
Wedding ceremonies such as worshipping in the hall and banquets do not exist in Green Bamboo Town. Even weddings of wealthy families have to be "quick and decisive", after all, there is only a short period of time in the evening.
During the day, the women who came with the dowry could not go out.
At night, we have to consider the night watchman and not stay up too late.
Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the short time in the evening and get married quickly.
Xu Lian had the privilege of the purple jade brand, so he could have held a more grand wedding, but that was how the wealthy families in Luzhu Town held their weddings, so there was no need for him to change. He could just follow the local customs.
"Congratulations to Manager Xu and Miss Pei on their wedding!"
"Congratulations on the birth of your baby!"...
When we arrived at the town, countless men, women, old and young, carrying buckets, baskets and other things, came over like a black tide. They were all pale and skinny, shouting unfamiliar congratulations.
Men, women, young and old all looked excited, with longing in their eyes. This was Xu Lian and Pei Zhaoxi's wedding day... and it was also a great day that ordinary people could only see once in a decade!
Because, only on the day when the eldest son or daughter of a wealthy family gets married, the wealthy family will be generous for once.
"Send it to them."
Xu Lian waved his hand.
The people sent by the Pei family to follow the car grabbed handfuls of wedding candies, wedding biscuits, wedding cakes and the like and threw them into the crowd.
There were thirty carts of wedding gifts, but they were not enough to share because there were too many people.
Xu Lian sighed in his heart. This was a damned world. There was nothing he could do. He could only do his best and "distribute the thirty carts of food."
“Is this appropriate?”
An old housekeeper who came with the dowry hesitated, "What if they have food but don't work?"
Xu Lian said calmly, "With so many people, thirty carts of food can only provide enough food for one meal. How can we not work? We'll get paid."
"yes."
The old butler didn't dare to say anything more.
Therefore, thirty carts of food were distributed to ensure that every household could receive some.
After receiving the wedding gifts and food, some greedy people were still unwilling to leave, hoping to get some silver.
That's how human hearts are.
"Kill him."
Xu Lian's voice was calm.

The guards of the Pei family immediately drew their swords, scaring these people so much that they ran away and dared not to surround them anymore.
"So Hee, do you prefer to live at the beginning, end, or middle of the street?"
Xu Lian rode his horse closer to the sedan chair and asked Pei Zhaoxi that there were thirty houses as a dowry and she could live anywhere in the town.
He brought the bride here before even deciding where to live. It was a quick decision.
Pei Zhaoxi's angry voice came from the sedan chair, "I don't want to live in the town. I want to build a manor like Peijiazhuang outside the town, in a place with beautiful scenery."
Miss Di's temper is acting up again... Xu Lian said, "We got married in a hurry, and we haven't had time to build our own manor. I'll have to let you live in the town for a while."
Pei Zhaoxi said, "Then just pick a bigger house to live in first."
Xu Lian thought so too. With so many people in the dowry, he had to choose a big house, so he chose the largest house on the street.
