Chapter 132 Confession
The banquet was never at the end, and it was until the beginning of the Xu hour. The last group was the Xu family and the wife who helped. When everyone finished the banquet, the wife who helped clean all the bowls and plates and put them up, then said goodbye.
Zhu and Han helped everyone to pack some dishes, and the chefs they invited also paid wages, Yu Wai also packed red envelopes, and sent these people away happily.
Naturally, the family never stops, and they also need to prepare dumplings for the wedding to be delivered tomorrow morning. The people at home worked together and kept them until midnight.
The next morning, Jingya got up early. After putting on her face and dressing up, she put on her red wedding dress, and then sat there quietly waiting for the wedding.
The people who came to meet the bride of Yue's family also got up. After breakfast, the drummers outside started to blow and beat. The Xu family started to give dowry. Because both families were in the town, Jingya found a porter to pick up the dowry for the Yue family. All the porters were wearing new clothes, red silk tied around their waists, and gave dowry out in order. A total of twenty-eight dowries were carried out, and they successively left the Xu family.
The streets were already full of people. When everyone saw the bride's dowry, they all praised it. "Oh, look at the dowry, there are 28 loads in total, which is countable in our town. The bride's family is not considered a very wealthy family, but they really didn't expect that they could be willing to take out such dowry."
"Silly, what do you know? Several nearby villages are raising a kind of silkworm now, do you know? That is the first one of the Xu family made. Yue's family opened a silk satin farm, and every year the Xu family's cocoons are sold to Yue's family. I heard that the Xu family can buy a 1,800 tael of silk cocoons in a year. Don't say that his family has other investments." Another person seemed to be familiar with the situation of the Xu family and knew a lot.
After hearing this person's words, everyone suddenly realized, "So that's it. That means, the Xu family and the Yue family got married because of this? It seems that the Xu family can't be considered a high-level person."
Behind the team that gave the dowry was the drummer, and then the groom was the bride's sedan chair. Wenhan came out of the house with Jingya on his back and brought it to the sedan chair. Pengcheng rode around the yard for a while, got off the horse and went into the house to bid farewell to the bride's relatives, then got on the horse again, and followed the Wangyue family behind the drummer.
Everyone in the Xu family left the house. Seeing Jingya's sedan chair being carried away, Xue couldn't help but cry.
"Sister-in-law, you can't cry. This is a happy day. Hurry up, brother is about to pour water." Zixuan's mother saw Xue's appearance and quickly persuaded her.
Zhixin brought out Jingya's dressing water and poured it into the place where the sedan chair was parked just now.
After leaving the Xu family in the sedan chair, it would be over to marry his daughter. Everyone helped to clean up the whole family and then sat together to chat. Today, the couples who went to see off were Zhiming and his wife, Zhide and his wife, Chen Tianfu and Chen Tianshun, as well as Zhixin's cousin's family, and the rest were sitting in the Xu family talking and chatting.
The Lin Xing family and his wife also came this morning, and Zixuan, Ziwen, and Yumei all came. When Yumei saw Jinghan, she was so happy that she didn't let go, so a few girls went to the backyard to play.
"Sister Yumei, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you? Are the tusserole silkworms you raised this year okay?" Jinghan asked, holding Yumei's hand.
"It's pretty good. I've sold a total of 100 taels of silver this year. My father said that I'll keep all of these silver for me. When I get married next year, I'll keep it for me." Yumei said with a smile.
"What, you will get married next year? Sister Yumei, when will you get engaged?" Jinghan was a little surprised. Yumei was a little older than herself, and she was going to get married next year. This is too fast, right?
Yumei's face turned red, "I made a marriage in summer, and said I would get married when I get married next winter. I am the village, the eldest son of the Wu family. My mother said it would be good to marry before me, so I can help you with anything." When talking about his marriage, Yumei was a little shy.
"The Wu family, our village has only one surnamed Wu. Brother Haiming from the Wu family, right? Oh, that's good. The Wu family is a rich family in our village, and Brother Haiming can do it. Sister Yumei, this marriage is very good. It's great. My sister found a good family." Jinghan is quite familiar with the villagers. Although they no longer live in the village, they can also see these people on the mountain. The Wu family is the one named Liangzi who saved the two boys he had saved. Wu Haiming's father is Wu Jiajun, a diligent and dedicated farmer. His family has seventy or eighty acres of land, and there are still about 40 feet of barbed sticks on the mountain every year. Even a good family in the village is.
When Yumei heard Jinghan praise her marriage so much, her face turned redder. She nodded, "It's Brother Haiming. Didn't Ziwen just like to play with Hailiang before? Our two families get along well, so when Aunt Wu said that, my mother agreed."
"That's pretty good. Aunt Wu is a good-natured and easy to get along with. Sister Yumei, you really found a good family in-laws." Jingwan interrupted.
"Jingwan, are you envious? Otherwise, how about asking my third aunt to quickly arrange a marriage for you?" Jinghan smiled so badly, teasing her sister.
"Second sister, you're bad. I've heard that our milk is going to ask you for a kiss. Alas, some people are very smart, but they just can't see the thoughts of the people around you. Be careful that if you miss the good, you will have to regret it in the future." Jingwan was not willing to be outdone and went back to talk to Jinghan directly.
Jinghan was stunned for a moment, but didn't understand Jingwan's meaning very much.
Jingwan sighed, "In front of Sister Yumei, I don't have to keep it a secret. Sister Yumei, Uncle Lin and others are going to come to propose marriage to Brother Zixuan?" Jingwan couldn't stand Jinghan's appearance, and she didn't know if she was really stupid or fake, so she just said it straight away. Anyway, grandma had already told the Lin family.
When Jinghan heard Jingwan's words, she was stunned at the time, "Jingwan, what are you talking about?" Jinghan almost bit her tongue.
Yumei, who was standing beside her, couldn't laugh. "Jinghan, you usually look so smart, why are you stupid at this time? Let me tell you the truth. Today, my father and my mother are going to propose marriage. How about it? Be my sister-in-law, we will never be in a quarrel with sister-in-law. My mother likes you so much, and it won't be difficult for you. How great is it."
Jinghan felt as if she was not smart enough. Why did the Lin family want to propose marriage? She and Zixuan didn't seem to have said anything yet. Could it be that she just got engaged? No, she shouldn't just get married in a confused manner. Zixuan didn't say she liked her, so why should she marry him?
"No, I'm going to tell my grandma, don't agree, I haven't decided yet." Jinghan got up and walked towards the front yard.
Yumei grabbed Jinghan, "You impatient, I haven't finished my words yet. My elder brother wants to see you, and he has something to say to you in person. If I didn't hear your agreement, my elder brother wouldn't let my mother propose marriage so recklessly."
Jinghan then breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little grateful to Zixuan for his considerateness, "Your brother wants to see me? When?"
"It's now that he's waiting for you in the study room. Brother Wenhan should be there to accompany him. Let's go over, let's go and tell my elder brother clearly in person. If you are willing to marry him, you agree. If you don't, then refuse. How about it? I didn't favor my elder brother." Yumei also stood up and walked towards the study room together.
Jingwan thought for a while and decided not to join in the fun. Fortunately, Jingxian and Mingyu were in front, otherwise they wouldn't care about those things and wouldn't go to make trouble?
Jinghan and Yumei arrived at the door of the study. Jinghan suddenly became a little scared and broke away from Yumei's hand, "Sister Yumei, I'm still not going in anymore. Zixuan and I have nothing to say." Jinghan said as she was about to walk back.
At this time, the study room opened, and Wen Han and Zixuan came out. Wen Han glanced at Jinghan and said, "Jinghan, Zixuan has something to say to you. You don't have to run away. These things will be faced sooner or later. Just say something. Even if the marriage is not done, we both will be as close as we are." When Wen Han said this, there was no expression on his face.
Jinghan was afraid that the elder brother would be like this, which shows that the elder brother had received support from his family, so he acted like this. I am afraid that the elders would come forward, and if they fail, they would lose face from both families, so he would let the elder brother come.
"Brother, I," Jinghan didn't know what to say.
Zixuan, who was standing beside him, looked at Jinghan with a smile, "Jinghan, come in and talk, it won't take you too long. Brother and the others are outside, I just want to know what you are thinking." As he said that, Zixuan turned around and entered the house.
Jinghan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the room with Zixuan, and the two of them sat down on both sides of the small table on the wooden couch.
"Since when did the little girl who had been following me grow up?" Zixuan still smiled gently, his eyes full of intoxicating tenderness, and he looked at Jinghan. "Do you know? I used to think you were my sister, just like Yumei. Later, your family moved to the mountain and I realized that I was actually thinking about you very much. I really want to see your worry-free smile and your busy figure in spring. Then I gradually understood my thoughts. It turned out that in my heart, you are not as simple as my sister. Later, my father asked me to come to you.
You live at home, you don’t know how happy I was at that time. In this way, I can protect you to grow up. Maybe you didn’t expect these things to come for a while, but I can see you often. I didn’t expect that you, a little girl, is very busy every day and has very few days to live in the town. You don’t know that every time you come back, I will be very happy. If it happens to happen to me and Mu Xiu go home, I will be depressed for a long time.” Zixuan’s voice was low and heavy, but full of affection for Jinghan, and word by word, flowed in Jinghan’s heart.
