Chapter one hundred and sixty-ninth welcome
Jinghan changed into red clothes and sat on the kang in the old lady's room. Today, relatives at home were coming to add makeup. No matter how simple it was, some rules could not be saved.
Because the marriage was too hasty, there were people from Zhide, Qingnian, and Yue family. Chen's parents' family did not send a letter, so they didn't know. However, Han's parents' family also made Han's brother and sister-in-law come this time. The Xu family was a little surprised, and of course they welcomed him.
Adding makeup is nothing more than some head and face jewelry. Huixin kept saying that she didn't expect Jinghan to get married so early, so she didn't have time to prepare well, so she had to take out a pair of jade bracelets. "Jinghan, my aunt is not biased. She really doesn't have time to book a good thing for you, so she can only give you a pair of bracelets."
Jinghan smiled and said, "Auntie, what you gave me is good enough. Now our family is living a good life. If this were the past, who would dare to think about it?"
Han gave a pair of gold bracelets, and Zhu and Zhiming came back from the county, and Zhu added a jade pendant. In addition, Pengcheng's mother, Sun's wife, and Han's sister-in-law also gave jewelry. In this way, adding makeup is almost the same.
"Girl Jinghan, I heard that you are getting married. The uncles are here to drink your wedding banquet." A loud voice outside the door shouted. Then a few people came in from outside, which were Ye Laoer and the others.
"Uncle Ye Er, Uncle Fifth and Uncle Six, why are you here?" Jinghan asked with a smile when she saw that it was them. Over the years, the Xu family has been getting along well with these people, and Ye Er and the others have also helped the Xu family a lot.
"Our eldest nieces get married. Can these uncles not come? There are still a few outside who haven't come in and are helping outside. We are all rough people, and we don't know what the little girl likes. Then, this is what we all bought for you by collecting money. Take your eldest nieces." Ye Lao Er took out a golden hairpin and put it in the tray in front of Jinghan.
"Uncle Ye Er, are you so expensive? How can your niece ask for such a precious gift?" Jinghan saw it and quickly pushed him. These people's lives are not very good, and such things may have to be saved for a long time to buy them.
"Look at you, you don't know yet? We have already promised Wencheng? We will set up a caravan this fall. Follow him to the south to sell medicinal materials. We are all people with kung fu, so we don't have to be afraid of anything when we go out. In this way, everyone doesn't have to mess around on the street every day, and they can make more money in the future. OK? This is the little intention of us uncles. If you don't accept it, you will look down on us." Ye Laoer said with a stern face.
When Jinghan heard this, she couldn't say anything else? "Then thank you uncles."
This season? The day is long? So the banquet has to be held in the evening. Generally, those who come to congratulate each other only come after lunch. But the makeup is different? They are all relatives of their own? The lunch must be eaten at the woman's house. There are not many people? So a few tables were set up in the living room. Everyone had a meal together.
In the other county town, Qin Chengren was drinking tea there? He heard someone outside say, "Master, let's come back and say, "What's wrong with the Xu family." It was Qin Fu's voice.
Qin Chengren quickly asked someone to come in, "Tell me quickly? What's wrong with it?"
"Master, when I came back, I left two people to watch. A man came back just now and said that there were many people coming and going from the Xu family today. He inquired and found out that the second girl of the Xu family was about to get married, and there was no news in advance, obviously just to guard against us." Qin Fu said quickly.
When Qin Chengren heard this, it was so great? He hadn't gotten the person yet, but he was going to get married there? "Damn, the Xu family is really damn. They dared to do this. Come on, hurry up and order all the people and let's go and steal them. Master, no one of the people I like can escape. I don't care whether she gets married or not, Master, I must get the person today."
At that moment, Qin's mansion was busy. There were many thugs in the mansion, and about forty people gathered at once. They all rode fast horses and ran all the way to the town. Although Qin Chengren was quite fat, he was not left behind when he rode on the horse. Of course, Mr. Yan was beside him. Everyone surrounded Qin Chengren and ran away wildly.
Outside the Qin Mansion, there were originally several vendors setting up stalls. When they saw this, they packed up their things and left in a hurry.
In the county government office, Wu Magistrate was working. Suddenly, Mr. Han came in from outside, "Sir, the Qin family suddenly gathered about 40 people, all riding horses and heading towards Songjianghe Town. The Xu family lives in the town. If the Qin family doesn't do it well, it may be going to force it. What do you think of this?"
The pen in Wu Magistrate suddenly stopped, "Damn it, I didn't expect that the Qin family would really dare to do evil so blatantly. I was so impatient to live. The master should have a clue about his affairs in the capital, right? Mr. Han, you gather some people first and rush to the town to protect the Xu family as much as possible. Here, I will also send someone to the capital. The Qin family is too much this time and should teach a lesson."
Wu Magistrate had also sent people to look at the Xu family before. When he heard that the Lu family had taken action and there was nothing serious about the restaurant, Wu Magistrate sent a few people to pay attention to the Qin family and did not send anyone to the town anymore. Now it seems that he has been negligent.
Mr. Han nodded, "Sure, then I'll go now." As he said that, he hurried out to do business.
"What's the matter with the Xu family? How can the Qin family stop ignoring the Lu family and dare to force the robbery?" Wu Zhixian felt a little regretful and did not send someone to the town to find out clearly. "I hope there won't be anything, otherwise the master will blame him, but it will be miserable."
By the end of the morning, those who lived nearby came one after another. People in the village usually went to the Lin family tomorrow, and few of them came here today. The Zhixin brothers were outside to greet guests, arranged a place for everyone to sit down, and then everyone went to chat with familiar people.
"Hey, Lao Li, do you know why the Xu family is in a hurry to marry their daughter? Haven't you heard anything before?" Everyone sat together, and it was inevitable that someone was curious about these things.
"What else is this? I heard that the elders of the Xu family have also been married, and there are three girls, so these three or four marriages have to be handled. You can't be done in one year, right? Even in a year, you have to be separated by three months. Otherwise, if you get married in one year, one will always have a good life and the other will not be well. There is one spring, and one will be another in autumn, and you won't say anything." Someone next to you said.
"But that's right. With so many children, why don't the marriages be together? That is, the Xu family has a pretty strong foundation. If it were someone else's family, after several marriages, all the family's financial affairs would be empty?" Someone in the crowd sighed.
"It depends on whoever is like the Xu family who loves his daughter and gives away a lot of things when they get married. That really means having some family background. For example, those who only care about their sons and want to sell the girl to their sons and talk about their daughters-in-law, how much money does it cost to do weddings? It's all over the place, and it doesn't cost much at home at all." What this person is telling the truth is that this kind of thing often happens in these years.
The Xu family prepared melon seeds and candies on every table. It was quite pleasant for these people to knead the melon seeds and eat candy while chatting.
Shen Shichu, the person guarding the door shouted, "The groom is here, the groom is here."
When everyone heard this, they all hurried out to take a look. Sure enough, they saw a man in a red wedding uniform riding on a tall horse and leading the people to the Xu family.
At the front of the team, of course, there is a drummer, followed by the car and sedan of the groom and the bride. Then there is the dowry gift that comes with the wedding team, and later, the man will come to welcome the bride.
The Lin family prepared a lot of bride gifts, four jars of wine, four large boxes, with red silk tied on them, which made them look very happy. Without pigs, it was difficult to get a pig to bring it to you during the wedding, so the two families had already discussed that the pig would be spared.
The wedding team arrived at the gate. Wenxing and Jinghui lit firecrackers here, and a crackling sound of firecrackers sounded. Of course, Zhixin stepped forward and stuffed a red envelope into Zixuan's waist. Then Wencheng stepped forward and held the reins of the horse for Zixuan. Zixuan got off the horse and went into the house to pay homage to the bride's parents and elders. The people who were accompanying him quickly moved all the bride's gifts and delivered them to the house.
When Zixuan came out of the house, the banquet outside officially began. The yard was full of tables, and everyone had already sat at the table and helped to serve the dishes. Soon, the dishes were almost done.
Zhixin raised his wine glass and greeted everyone. "Dear neighbors, today is the day when my little girl Jinghan goes out of the woods. Thank you for your love, you can come to have a wedding wine in your busy schedule. Xu thanks you here. Come, everyone is happy today and will not return without getting drunk."
Everyone shouted ok, and then the banquet started and everyone started drinking and eating.
Of course, Zixuan and the others had to arrange a few tables separately. Today, they came with Zixuan, Erlin and his wife, Zixuan's uncle and aunt, two Quanfu women who welcomed the bride, and a pair of boys and girls who were holding sedan chairs. With Zixuan, it happened to be odd. When they go back tomorrow, the bride will be even.
As soon as the banquet was opened, the yard became lively, and everyone was eating and drinking while chatting. The Xu family’s banquet was always the best, so everyone was very satisfied.
It was this lively moment. There was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the gate, and then someone shouted loudly, "Listen to the Xu family, hand over the second girl immediately and let our master take it away. Otherwise, no one would have thought of running away today."
