Chapter 131 Welcome

It was already winter in the north in October, and snow had already fallen outside. Usually, people only had two meals a day. At the end of the Chen Dynasty, after breakfast, people came outside to add makeup to the bride. Jingya was still wearing red clothes today and sat on the kang of the old lady in the front yard. The red dress made Jingya's skin look better than snow, and she was beautiful and charming.

Xu Chengkuan's cousin and sister-in-law came with his son and daughter-in-law. The Xu family is not many relatives here, and Xue has no family members, so there are not many people who put on makeup. However, there are several villages who get along well with Xue and have also come to put on makeup. Ordinary families are just a ruler or a few veils, or a purse. Xu Chengkuan's cousin gave a silver hairpin, and her two daughters-in-law gave a pair of silver bracelets together.

"Sister-in-law, look at you, where do you use such expensive things? The two niece-in-law are the same, and the children at home are not young anymore. It's the time to use money." Chen, a person, always likes to think about others, so when he sees these things, he can't help but say.

"This is our family's happy event. What's wrong? As a grandmother, I can't give my granddaughter something? The two of them are aunts and aunts, can't they give me some fun?" Xu Chengkuan's cousin said with a smile.

Just as Chen was about to say something, someone came in outside. "Second aunt, my father and my mother can't come, so let us come to add makeup to our niece." The two nephews and niece-in-laws from Chen's second brother's house were the two nephews and niece-in-laws in Chen's second brother's house.

When Chen saw her mother's family, she was even more happy. "Hurry, Xiaofu, Xiaoshun, bring her two niece-in-laws to sit down." After Huixin got married, the Xu family and the Chen family gradually resumed their movements. During the New Year, Chen would send someone to see her second brother and second sister-in-law. This time Jingya got married, she also told the Chen family. "Your father and your mother are all okay?" Chen is old this year, and has long forgotten the grudges of the past. Now there is only such a second brother left, and now she is still walking around, so she often misses her.

"Second aunt, my father and my mother are both good. They are old and too lazy to walk around, so we come and take a look." Chen Tianfu said.

Chen Tianfu's wife Qin Shi looked at Jingya carefully and couldn't help but praise her, "Second aunt, everyone says that girls change a lot, this is true. Look at our Jingya, who looks so beautiful. Not to mention, Jingya's appearance is really similar to the girl Huixin. The girls from the Second Aunt's family all have good looks." As he said that, Qin Shi took out a pair of silver anklets and put them in the tray. "Cousin, this is what your second cousin and I have prepared for you together. The meaning of this pair of anklets is that no matter where you go, you have to think about your parents' home."

Jingya nodded quickly, "Thank you, auntie, second cousin, Jingya remembers it."

There were indeed not many relatives in the Xu family, and they all added makeup one by one. In the end, it was Zhu and Han's sister-in-law, and Huixin. Zhu took out a red gold phoenix hairpin, and Han took out a jade hairpin. When Zhu saw it, he said, "Okay, fourth brother and sister-in-law, I asked you what you added to Jingya just now, but you didn't say anything. After a long time of trouble, you actually took out such a good hairpin. Are you going to compete for me?" Zhu was also making a joke. Their sister-in-law got along more and more harmoniously in recent years, so he said that.

"Sister-in-law, yours is not bad either. You are rich. I see that the weight is not light, and the difference between the two of us is not much." Han said with a smile. Then he looked back at Huixin, "Little sister, you are the finale. Let's see what you have prepared for Jingya, right?"

Huixin smiled and took out a mutton fat jade Ruyi. This Ruyi carved many villains of different shapes, each of which was lifelike. "Jingya, my aunt gave you a hundred sons Ruyi. I hope you can enter the Yue family's door and be able to have a noble son as soon as possible."

As soon as this Ruyi was taken out, everyone stopped talking. This jade Ruyi had a warm texture and was exquisitely carved on it. It could not be bought for dozens of taels of silver.

"Aunt, this is too expensive." Jingya hesitated a little.

"Silly child, this is what my aunt has prepared for several years. I want to give it to you. Just keep it with peace of mind. This is a good object." Huixin smiled gently, and the persistence in her tone was unwilling to refuse Jingya.

Chen said quickly, "Okay, this makeup is over. Everyone, let's talk to the living room. Jingya can't get off the floor today, so she can sit on the kang."

Everyone followed Chen to the living room outside. Honglian and several others brought in tea and snacks, and they all drank tea and joked together.

By the beginning of the day, more and more people came to congratulate him. The male guests were Zhiming and Zhide to help him receive him, while the female guests were Zhu and Han. Lin Zixuan's parents also came. As soon as Xing's family came, they helped to greet the guests outside.

"Xingjia, you should go into the house and sit there. How could you, the guest, help?" Zhixin happened to see Xingjia and felt a little embarrassed and had to let him go into the house and sit there.

"Brother, what else can we share with you and me? Go quickly, brother, I'll help you greet the guests." Xingjia waved his hand and drove Zhixin away.

When it was late, I heard the sound of blowing and beating from afar. When the children heard it, they were all happy. It was the groom who came to welcome the bride.

Jinghan quickly instructed Wenxuan, Wenchang, Mingyu and Ziwen to run outside the gate and blocked the gate, preventing the wedding reception from entering.

All the people who came to congratulate were stunned. What was the Xu family doing? The local customs did not say that. Everyone couldn't help but open their eyes wide and looked at what these little people were doing.

The wedding party came to the door of the Xu family and saw eight drummers standing side by side in front, and then the groom. Yue Pengcheng was wearing a bright red wedding dress and rode on a big red horse with a smile on his face. His chest was covered in red, and even the horse's head was tied with red silk, which made him look even more joyful.

Pengcheng rode a horse to the gate, and when he saw Wenxuan and his posture, he knew it was not good. This must be Jinghan's idea, to make things difficult for him. Fortunately, Jinghan had spoken before, so Pengcheng had already prepared. "Sister Jinghan, brother Wenxuan and brother Wenchang, I wonder what you are going to do like this?" Pengcheng asked Jinghan and the others.

Jinghan came to the front with a smile, "Brother Pengcheng, I have said a long time ago that if we want us to call you brother-in-law, we have to show sincerity. If your red envelope is not prepared enough today, I will be embarrassed. Please go home. If you can't pass our level, you can't think of entering the door to marry my elder sister." Jinghan doesn't care about any rules or irregularities. If it's not difficult for Yue Pengcheng today, how can she feel comfortable?

Yue Pengcheng smiled bitterly. It was really worthy of having such a quirky sister-in-law. "Red envelopes aren't it? This is simple." Pengcheng waved his hand, and the servant who had been following him came up with a large basket of red envelopes and handed the basket to Pengcheng.

Pengcheng carried the basket, grabbed a handful of red envelopes and threw them into the sky, "If you want a red envelope, then come and grab it."

The children watching the fun nearby rushed up to grab the red envelopes. Today is a time to join in the fun, and no one will be upset. The children competed for it, and finally picked up all the red envelopes. When they opened the red envelopes, they found that there were twenty cents inside. The children all jumped up with joy.

Pengcheng originally wanted to go into the yard while the chaos was in the chaos, but unexpectedly, Jinghan and the others didn't even move, just watched the red envelope book snatched away. Pengcheng looked at Jinghan, who was smiling maliciously, with a headache, "Jinghan, tell me, what else do you want?"

"Brother Pengcheng, you are too petty. You dare to come to welcome the bride with twenty cents in a red envelope? If you don't show some sincerity today, you won't be able to get in this door." Jinghan still looked smiling.

Yue Pengcheng knew that if he didn't get some blood today, he would be stopped outside the door. So he asked the servants around him to take out a few red envelopes again. Among these red envelopes, there were five silver tarts of one or two taels of silver. Pengcheng signaled the servants to distribute the red envelopes to Jinghan and others.

The servant was also a clever man, sending red envelopes one by one. Jingwan, Jingxian, Wenxuan, Wenchang, Mingyu, each of them had a red envelope. When he arrived at Jinghan, the servant directly sent Jinghan two red envelopes. "Miss Jinghan, I hope you will be proud and let my young master in." The servant said in a low voice.

Jinghan weighed the red envelope in his hand and knew that there was almost ten taels of silver in it. Jinghan understood the principle of accepting it when it was good, so he said, "Okay, let you go this time. Brother-in-law, you can come in." Jinghan turned his back.

Everyone laughed at this time, saying that they had never seen such a fuss.

Wen Han quickly came out from inside and led the horse to Pengcheng. Zhixin also came out. After glaring at Jinghan, he stepped forward and stuffed a red envelope into Pengcheng's waist.

Pengcheng then got off the horse and walked into the yard. The wedding team behind him also followed him into the yard.

Pengcheng first entered the living room, kowtowed to the old man and the old lady, and then came out of the house.

At this time, someone shouted, "The new son-in-law is here to welcome the wedding and the banquet will begin."

So, the Xu family's yard started to work for a while, and the helping wives served the dishes in each room. If it was already cold today, of course they could not hold banquets outside, so they arranged the male guests to several rooms in the front yard and the female guests to the back yard. Jinghan and the others were also required to help. Everyone worked together and soon served the wine and food.

The Yue family naturally arranged two tables separately for the wedding, and the Xu family accompanied them to drink.
