Chapter 131 A family with nine surnames
"But just over a year ago, a scholar who came from other places came to teach in a school on the shore, and happened to have a good eye for a girl from our family with nine surnames."

"Everyone sums it up, so many years have passed since the imperial decree. Although the scholars from other places are from shore, they are not locals after all."

"We, together with the people in Sandu Fishing Village, decided to take a risk and let them get married, so each boat and every household paid some money, and we planned to let them cook rice for the big night. !"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the boat had already sailed to the other side.

When I stopped on the shore, I found that there were people on the shore except the people on the water and the villagers in the Sandu fishing village.

There were a dozen or so people, dressed in clothes from the Qing Dynasty or even modern times, standing on the bank with empty expressions and watching.

Behind them is a gate building made of stone, with the four characters of Sandu Fishing Village written on it.

Below the gatehouse, there were twenty or thirty tables scattered and covered with red cloth, which were filled with delicious food and wine, and there were some guests waiting for the banquet to start.

Behind the gatehouse and the banquet is a village surrounded by mountains and rivers, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and hung with red silk.

As soon as Lin Sishen and I landed, I didn't know who it was, and suddenly shouted: "The bride is coming!—"

As soon as this childish voice sounded, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Sishen and I followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the river behind us.

But I saw a small black-covered boat decorated like a flower boat, and a boatman with the word "Happy" on his chest was standing on the stern and punting the boat.

A matchmaker with heavy makeup, holding Zhang Xipa in her hand, stood on the bow of the boat and waved to everyone.

The bride with a red hijab was holding her sleeves tightly, sitting shyly in front of the happy boat, not even daring to lift her head.

"Wow, the bride is so beautiful!" A girl doll in a red dress with two small balls on her head exclaimed standing on the shore.

Three or two children gathered beside her and whispered, everything seemed so dreamy and real.

The wedding boat sailed slowly towards the shore, and before it had time to lean on, the matchmaker grabbed handfuls of wedding candies from the flower basket and sprinkled them towards the shore.

"A magpie bridge in the sky, a wonderful thing in the world, a pair of mandarin ducks, just in time for the New Year, flowers blooming in pairs, happily married, sweet, sweet, century-old couple..."

"The sky is happy, the earth is happy, and people are happy too! Things are happy, things are happy, everything is happy!"

"I wish Chen Yingniang and Meng Chengjun a happy marriage, forever and ever, prosperous and prosperous, a sweet wedding night in the bridal chamber—"

The matchmaker's voice was loud and joyful, and even I, who was an outsider, was infected by her. Together with the group of children, I threw myself on the ground to pick up the wedding candy.

I snatched two sorghum candies wrapped in red paper. I just tore open the package and wanted to eat it, but Lin Sishen gave me a hard look.

"Yin Liuli, I think you don't want to leave, do you really dare to eat the food here?"

When he said that, I shivered instantly, and almost forgot my purpose when I came.

Looking at the villagers here, all of them were filled with joy, and the dozen or so outsiders who were dressed out of tune with the village still had empty eyes, standing here like a piece of wood.

I seemed to understand something, and put the torn candy paper back on again.

After the old man sent me ashore, he stood by my side all the time. Seeing that I was unwilling to eat any candy, he couldn't help asking.

"Little girl, why don't you eat candy? Do you think it's not to your liking?"
