Ten thousand acres of fertile land and ten miles of red decoration.
Such a lavish dowry blinded everyone's eyes and also burned some people's eyes.
Uncle Zhu Shouren stood at the gate of Zhu Ping'an's house, watching loads of dowry being carried into the new mansion that was built specifically for Zhu Ping'an's marriage. He couldn't help swallowing a few times. With so much dowry, just one load would be enough to last him for a long time.
The aunt beside my uncle had red eyes as if she had rabies. The huge box full of gold and silver jewelry that had just been carried past her was almost dazzling to her. The exquisite and numerous hairpins, bracelets and earrings were more than she could imagine in her dreams. She almost couldn't help but pounce on them several times.
Land, real estate, shops, furniture, furnishings, cosmetics, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, books, stationery, and medicinal herbs and spices
Various dowries were carried in front of the aunt one after another into the new house opposite where Zhu Ping'an was getting married, and the aunt's eyes became redder and redder.
Especially when I saw the two rows of maids and servants that came with the dowry
The aunt's eyes were red, indicating that she was in the late stage of rabies. She couldn't help but subconsciously pinched the hand of uncle Zhu Shouren beside her, as if it was a secret signal. She raised her face and looked at uncle Zhu Shouren with burning eyes.
"Hiss." Uncle Zhu Shouren took a breath of cold air when being pinched by his aunt, then he lowered his head and glared at his aunt, lowering his voice and saying meaningfully, "Why are you in such a hurry? They're all dead anyway, and the things in the second brother's house can't run away."
"Didn't you say you wanted to..." The aunt was very excited.
Uncle Zhu Shouren quickly reached out to cover the mouth of the aunt, then lowered his voice and scolded, "What do you know, woman? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! There are so many people here now, you know who the second brother's family is. If we make a big fuss and let everyone see it, my reputation will be ruined! After the work is done and everyone has left, we can handle the affairs of our Zhu family behind closed doors."
The aunt's mouth was covered by the uncle's hand. She couldn't speak and could only nod and shake her head. Although her eyes were still red, her emotions seemed to have eased a little.
Seeing that his aunt had calmed down, his uncle Zhu Shouren gave her another warning with his eyes before slowly letting go of her hand.
"Is it possible?" After the aunt was able to speak, she looked at her uncle Zhu Shouren like a thief and asked.
"What do you think?" The uncle smiled meaningfully, then waved his hand and threw his long sleeves behind him, looking as if he had everything under control and was wearing a feather fan and a royal scarf.
Seeing this, the eldest aunt's heart almost jumped out of her chest with excitement, "Are you saying that my parents agreed?"
"The Master said: It cannot be explained." Uncle Zhu Shouren raised his lips with a mysterious smile.
"You bastard!" The aunt felt as if she had suddenly become the girl she was back then. Her heart was beating like a deer. She stretched out her hand and pinched the uncle's arm, calling him a "you bastard."
Uncle Zhu Shouren glanced at his aunt who was in a state of agitation and flirting with her, and then he almost vomited.
"Are you serious about Ping An Lang?" The aunt asked, pushing his arm without seeing her man's expression.
"How could the news sent by the government be false? Besides, you saw the second brother crying the day before yesterday. They encountered pirates and a storm in the sea, and the ship capsized. Afterwards, dozens of ships searched the vast ocean for a whole day but found nothing except a belt. There are so many creatures that eat people in the sea, and people can survive if they fall into the sea! Even if the gods appeared, it would be useless. Everyone knows this, but the second brother's family just doesn't want to believe it."
Uncle Zhu Shouren said with certainty that in his eyes Zhu Ping'an was 100% dead, it was just that Chen was afraid to face the reality and was unwilling to believe it.
"Alas, Ping An grew up under my watch," the eldest aunt sighed, and then began to speak excitedly, "This is all fate. If the second son's family hadn't invited some little ghost to do something to transfer my son Wen Quxing's fate to Ping Anlang, this wouldn't have happened! It's just not fate!"
Two years ago, my aunt spent a lot of money to hire a Taoist master to do a fortune telling. The master also walked around the old house and Zhu Ping'an's house several times, and learned a "fact" that made her hate Chen so much, that is, the Taoist master "overdrew" the "secret" of his life span by one year. The Taoist master pointed to Zhu Ping'an's house and told my aunt that the hostess of the house had used shameful means to transfer the Wenquxing fate of Zhu Pingjun, my aunt's son, to Zhu Ping'an.
It was from then on that the most profound chapter was added to the grudges between the aunt and Chen.
At that time, my aunt asked the Taoist master how to change her fate. The Taoist master shook his head and said that he did not dare to offend Wenquxing. After my aunt’s repeated requests and the help of silver, the Taoist master revealed the method to pierce the villain.
Now it seems that the master is still a master, really a master. I just didn’t expect Ping Anlang to blame the second brother’s family for all this. If she hadn’t used such despicable means back then, Ping Anlang wouldn’t have ended up like this!
While my uncle and aunt were talking, all the dowry had already been carried into Zhu Ping'an's newly built house.
This big house is just opposite Zhu Ping'an's house.
The dowry was brought into the house, and then the matchmaker, the groom, and the bridal sedan came. Soon, amid a burst of firecrackers, the groom and the bridal sedan appeared in everyone's sight.
"Huh?"
Someone among the onlookers expressed doubts.
However, more people just sighed with regret and prayed for the best. The people in Xiahe Village, Shanghe Village, and people in nearby places knew the truth. It was only those who were a little further away or who simply happened to pass by and watch the fun who did not know the truth.
Those onlookers who didn't know the truth, when they saw the groom and the bridal sedan, their eyes widened even more than when they saw the ten-mile red wedding dress just now. Ah, my eyes.
The groom was a big rooster with red hair and a big red flower tied to his neck!!! The naughty child Xiao Xiao Zhu from Auntie Zhu Pingan’s family was in charge of holding the big rooster with the red flower.
The groom is a big rooster!!!
How come the rooster is the groom? !!! Wasn’t it said that the groom was the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty? How come he became a rooster
In addition to the groom, the bride also made those who didn't know the truth stare with wide eyes.
A little girl walked out of the sedan chair, holding a little hen covered with a red veil in her arms. The bride is a little hen!!!
Rooster or hen
What can we do about the beautiful scenery? The rooster and the hen come to worship the sky? ! ! !
If the people around them hadn't explained it to them, these people would never have believed their own eyes.
The fact is that the day before yesterday, the government sent someone to Xiahe Village to deliver a belt and bring back a sad news: Zhu Ping'an, the top scholar who was returning home to get married, encountered pirates on his way back from the sea. Zhu fought bravely and fearlessly, but unfortunately, a sudden huge wave overturned the ship, and Zhu disappeared in the sea. Zhu's fiancée, Miss Li, also disappeared in the sea. Dozens of ships searched for a whole day, but only found a belt.
Everyone knows what this means!
However, Zhu Ping'an's mother, Chen, didn't believe it. No matter who said it was nonsense, Chen would find anyone who mentioned the word death or exile and fight him or her.
"My Zhu'er just disappeared. He will come back. He will definitely come back!"
Chen looked at the rooster and the hen that were bowing to heaven and earth and then to their parents, and murmured, while Zhu's father Zhu Shouyi, who was standing beside her, held Chen's hand tightly.
The wedding went on as scheduled with only one purpose.
Good luck!
