Chapter 39 Wisdom gets married
On the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, some people who got along well with the Xu family came to the Xu family to add makeup to Huixin. Some were a piece of yard, some were a pair of pillows, and some were a few purses. This was a good idea. Of course, if it was a relative and elder of the bride, the gift would be more expensive. For example, Mr. Xu's cousin-in-law, Huixin's aunt Liu, gave a silver hairpin. Although it was quite thin, it was worth some money after all.
Huixin was wearing red clothes and sat on the kang in the east room, constantly smiling at the visitors and nodding.
"If you want to tell me, our Huixin looks so handsome. Since last year, our body has been better. Look at her look, her white and red look, she is really a lovely person. The boy from the Tao family is considered to be his vision and has a crush on us Huixin." Liu took Huixin's hand and kept exclaiming.
Chen is naturally sitting in the east room today, talking with the people who come here. Usually, those who come to add makeup are women, so the old man takes his sons to stay in the east wing room. He was also happy to hear his cousin praise his daughter like this. "Sister-in-law, don't say that, the Tao family lives a good life. Besides, this New Year is also a good medical skill, and it is also a blessing for Huixin to be able to like us."
The people next to him were also talking about the marriage, and a voice suddenly came in outside the door. "Second aunt, my father and my mother are here."
When Chen heard this, he quickly went to the ground and walked out. When he went out, he saw several people standing in the yard. A man and a woman in the middle looked not young. The man was five or six years older than Chen, and the woman was also older than Chen. There were two men on both sides, who were thirty-four or five years old. They looked very similar. They were two brothers at the very beginning. There were two women behind him, and three children. "Second brother, second sister-in-law, Xiaoshun, Xiaofu, why are you here?" Chen was a little surprised. His brother had not been in contact for many years, so why did he come at this time? But no matter how surprised he was, he had to let others enter the house, right? "Hurry, hurry up and go." As he said that, he stepped forward to support his brother.
The old man was Chen's second brother. He looked at Chen and was a little excited. "Second sister, we heard from others that Huixin in your family is about to get married. Huixin is the youngest, so we have to come and see it now." The old man said as he walked. "I am an uncle, and my niece gets married, so why can I get the scene, right?"
"Second brother, you are not young anymore, why bother to come this time? Just let Xiaoshun and the others come." Chen helped his brother and walked into the house. He quickly asked his brother and sister-in-law to get on the kang, and then introduced them to everyone. "This is my brother and sister-in-law from my mother's family." Everyone suddenly realized.
Chen Tianshun and Chen Tianfu next to them led their wives and children, and they also found a place to sit down and talk together. Jinghan and the others were originally helping in the kitchen, but when they heard a sound outside, they went out to take a look. Now they knew that it was my uncle who was here, so they quickly ran to the east wing to tell Mr. Xu. When Mr. Xu heard that it was his uncle who was here, he quickly took his sons to the east room where the room was at.
In the east room, Chen looked at the three children brought by his brother and sister-in-law, two girls, one boy, and the girl was about the same age as Jinghan and Jingwan. "Second brother, which of these children belongs to Xiaoshun?"
Chen Tianshun next to him quickly said, "Second aunt, this big girl and that boy are mine, and the other girl is Xiaofu." Then he said to the children, "Hurry up, this is your aunt, why don't you kowtow to your aunt quickly?"
Just at this time, Mr. Xu also came in, and Chen Tianshun said, "And your son-in-law, let's kowtow together."
The three children came to the front, knelt down to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Chen, and kowtowed three times. "Good grandpa, grandma."
"Okay, okay, get up quickly, good kid." Chen quickly asked them to get up, then took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and distributed them to the three children. The red envelopes were originally prepared to be given to those drummers when they came to pick up the bride. Thanks to the red envelopes I packed yesterday, I didn't expect to use them first today. These younger children have met for the first time, so why would they be embarrassed to give them anything?
The three children were very happy with the red envelopes and quickly put them away. Chen quickly asked Jinghan and the others to come in and lead the three children out to play. "Jinghan, look at you brothers and sisters well and take them to have something delicious."
Jinghan agreed and took the three children out. While walking, she still muttered in her heart that she had never heard of anyone else in grandma's family. What happened this time? She actually came? In fact, it was quite strange. Not only did grandma's family not contact, but even her mother Xue never mentioned her parents' affairs. If it were someone else's family, she would have to go back to her parents' house to stay for two days during the Chinese New Year. However, Jinghan didn't hear her mother telling her about going back to her parents' house, and she didn't know what was going on. She really had to ask her brother if she knew.
Jinghan looked at the three children in front of him. The older girl was about the same age as her. She looked pretty good, but she was a little darker, and her big eyes were quite lively. "I don't know if you should call me sister or sister. I'm nine years old this year, where are you?" Jinghan asked her about her age first. Today Jingya was helping in the kitchen. Xue said that Jingya is on the 11th this year and should learn the work in the kitchen, so she asked her to do it there. Jinghan took Jingwan and Jingxian to do some tricks to help her run.
"Sister, my name is Lihua. I am eight years old this year. This is my younger brother, Tianbao, and six years old this year. That is the younger sister of the second uncle's family. It is Lizhu, and I am seven years old this year." This person named Lihua is quite clever and quickly told all the names and ages of the three people.
Jinghan nodded, "My name is Jinghan. This is Jingwan from Uncle San's family. She is nine years old this year, and that is Jingxian. She is six years old this year. You don't have to call her sisters. It's better to call her name directly." Although I don't know why the wet nurse has few interactions with the Chen family, since they are here, they have to entertain them well. Jinghan led a few people back to her house and then found the melon seeds and candies that were bought during the Chinese New Year. "Come on, we won't do anything today, just eat here. Lihua, Lizhu, you all come on the kang, this kang is hot."
Today Wenhan led his younger brothers to borrow tables, chairs, plates and bowls. When the farmyard was doing weddings, he usually had to go out to borrow things. Otherwise, who would have so many families? The Xu family is quite popular in the village. I guess many people would come to have wedding banquets today, so I have to prepare a few more tables.
When Shen Shichu arrived, there were sounds of blowing and beating outside. The Tao family was here to welcome the bride. Zhixin and Zhiming brothers hurried out to greet them. These children, helpers, and people in the village were all watching the fun.
At the door of the Xu family, Tao Qingnian was wearing a new dress, with a big red flower on her chest, and riding a red horse with a red flower on her head. Tao Qingnian was originally very good, but when she dressed up like this, she looked gentle, elegant, clear and handsome.
Since the wedding receptionist arrived, all the Xu family came out. Zhixin stepped forward and held the reins of the horse. The old man stuffed a red envelope into Tao Qingnian's waist. At this time, Tao Qingnian got off the horse. The groom dismounted, and the Xu family's banquet was about to officially begin. Zhixin and his brothers quickly led Tao Qingnian to the east wing and had already prepared the banquet for the wedding receptionists. Here, he also found a few wise people from the village to accompany the guests. Everyone sat down to have a drink together.
There were matchmakers, two wedding wives, and two wedding wives, and two peers of Tao Qingnian. Of course, there were also two children, one man and one woman, who were also a golden boy and a jade girl who was pressing the sedan chair. In addition to these people, there were also drummers outside, so the Xu family prepared three tables of banquets to entertain the wedding. Everyone sat at the table, and the daughters-in-law who helped the help brought the wine and food. Zhixin raised the wine glass and toasted the Tao family to welcome the wedding. "Come on, everyone has worked hard, and the Xu family has nothing to treat. You have prepared a little wine, so please don't be too shabby." At this time, as the elder brother, he had to speak first.
The people from the Tao family also raised their glasses and drank a glass together. Zhixiang also accompanied the Tao family in the house, while Zhiming and Zhide were outside with the guests in the village. After the banquet started, the people who came to the village to have wedding banquets came one after another. Generally, it was not that everyone came and then the banquet was held, but that they could almost open a table and let the people sit down and have a drink, otherwise there would be not so many places in the house.
This banquet started from the beginning of Shenshi and ended at the end of Youshi. The guests in the village left this wave and the next group came. The cooks and the helping wives were the last to eat. When the people in the village were almost gone, Xue led all the helping wives to have dinner together. Han and Zhide came back in the morning. Today, Han was okay and kept helping in the kitchen, doing this and that, and didn't feel tired. At this moment, everyone sat down. Xue quickly thanked the wives who came to help, "Thank you, sisters, whoever has something to do in the future, just say a word."
Zixuan's mother smiled from the side, "Sister-in-law, you're out of your way. Whose family has something to do in our village will not go? It's rare that your family will have a happy event, so how can we not come? Sister-in-law, don't say this anymore. We live in the same village, so how can we use such an outlier?" The wives next to them all said yes, and they all had a meal together and talked and laughed.
After the banquet, the wife who helped them clean up all the dishes and dishes, and then they went home. Naturally, the sister-in-law Xue could not rest, and they also had to prepare food to send their brides tomorrow morning.
