Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 127 Extremely Absurd (Two in One)

Chapter 130 Four is Absurd (Two in One)

Jinjishan Village is a big village near and far. Apart from the two old scholars in the village who are half a hundred years old and have not yet been elected, Liang Lihui can be said to be a young and proud scholar. The only daughter of the Liang family, the descendants of the Anding Liang family, the Hong family is also a well-off family, and there are relatives in the county government. The Liang family is married to Qin and Jin. The villagers are full of longing for this well-matched marriage. And envy, but also immeasurable for Liang Lihui's future.

Therefore, the villagers who came to watch the wedding in the morning crowded the bluestone road in front of Lao Liang's house!
The men of Lao Liang's family all changed into clean and tidy clothes, scattered in the front room busy receiving relatives and friends, while the women took their granddaughters to make arrangements in the backyard.

In the middle of the day, there was a hustle and bustle of people outside the house, and then there was the crackling of firecrackers.

Jin Xi's hand that was peeling the radish stopped, and she raised her head and listened to the direction of the front room. This time, the old Liang's family even spent a lot of money to invite a troupe of suona players from the town to accompany the welcoming guests in order to prepare for the wedding of the scholar's eldest grandson. The team went to Hong Village. The deafening sound of firecrackers was accompanied by the cheerful sound of suona. It must be the team sent by the old Liang family to welcome the bride back to the village. The bride is going to come in!
"Mom, I'll go ahead to see the excitement, and you'll do all my chores for me!" Liang Jinlan was pointing red pistils to each rice noodle cake, when she heard the movement in the front room, she couldn't stay still, she waved her hands and turned towards her. Run to the front room.

The women who were invited to help from the backyard all rushed to the front room to watch the excitement when the firecrackers rang. Mrs. Tan had ordered that there must be members of the old Liang family in the backyard at all times, so the three daughters-in-law and two granddaughters They are still at their posts.

"You girl, if something good happens to you, you can't think of your mother. Alas, sister-in-law, help me take care of my work. I'll chase that girl back!" Before Jin Shi could respond, Yang Shi had already got up and followed Liang Jinlan. front room.

"Xi'er, do you want to watch the fun too?" Mrs. Sun, who was immersed in chopping vegetables, looked at Jin Xi and asked softly. She had heard rumors from the Hong family a long time ago that they had prepared so many rich meals for their daughter. The dowry, the whole village basically came to watch the excitement, many people came for Hong's dowry and wanted to open their eyes, so Sun mistakenly thought that Jin Xi thought the same way.

"Is there any child who doesn't like to watch the excitement? The third brother and sister, let girl Xi go, the second brother and sister are grown-ups, so they all ran over to watch!" Jin said.

Sun smiled, looked at Jinxi, and said: "Xi'er, you can go if you want, there is a mother here, but you can't go straight ahead when you go to see, especially when Hongshi enters the door, You have to get out of the way, understand?" Sun urged.

She is also aware of this rule. When the bride enters the gate, a brazier must be put down, and then the members of the old Liang family must avoid it for a while and cannot meet face to face. Only after entering the bridal chamber can you come out to welcome guests.

Jin Xi smiled, and originally wanted to come over and ask Sun to go with her, but thinking about the crowds ahead, she was afraid that Sun would be bumped, so she went by herself.

The main room in front was basically empty, because everyone had gone to the door, Jinxi came to the door, just in time to see the other side of the Qingshiban road, the welcoming team of Chuichuidada was coming here, shoulders, hands, backs On the ox cart, all the dowries with big red happy characters on them were pushed, one load and one load, one box and one drawer, which could brighten the eyes of the onlookers.

Jin Xi mixed in the crowd, looking at the colorful dowry, from the size of it, it can indeed frighten these rural women, but they are all showy, and in reality, they are far inferior to Sun Yuxia That dowry is real.

The Hong family came in a carriage, and the bridegroom official Liang Lihui was supposed to greet the bride, but the onlookers in the welcoming team did not see Liang Lihui, only Liang Lihui's second brother, Liang Lisheng, dressed in a brand new blue Clothes, holding a bowl-sized red flower ball in both hands, followed closely on both sides of the carriage.

Someone in the crowd began to whisper, and then an 'insider' answered the question.

"Isn't the daughter of the Hong family married to the grandson of Liang's parents? Why is it replaced by the second grandson?"

"I heard from their family members that Xiucai Lang suddenly fell ill yesterday, and the doctor told him not to blow the wind. This day is an auspicious day, and it is not auspicious to reschedule, so let Xiucai Lang's second brother welcome the bride for the time being!"

"That's right, then the younger brother will replace the elder brother when he visits the hall?"

"That's for sure, but it's nothing unusual, and it's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen."

"Tsk tsk, it's really not the right time for that talented man to be sick. On the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, when he was named on the gold list, wouldn't the younger brother also go to the bridal chamber for his elder brother?"

"Keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard by Lao Liang's family, folks from the village..."

"hey-hey……"

Jin Xi huddled in the crowd, pricked up her ears, and listened to what was going on around her, secretly sneering in her heart.Old Liangtou is really assertive, and decided to let Liang Lihui marry the Hong family, even if the world falls apart, he must successfully implement it.No, Liang Lihui resisted this marriage by provoking the marriage, so the old Liang head asked Liang Lisheng to replace Liang Lihui and help him marry the Hong family back home.

Hehe, I don't know if Liang Lihui will return to Lao Liang's house one day in the future. I wonder if he will be grateful to see the good wife his grandfather married for him when he was away!

When Mrs. Hong, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red square scarf, was helped down from the carriage by Quanfu people, Jin Xi clearly felt that although the firecrackers and suona were still blasting together, the discussions just now were louder. stopped.

Because many people's eyes fell on the lower abdomen of the bride, Hong Shi, where there were some small bulges.

Although it is February, spring has just started, but it is the time when it is warm and cold, especially in the past few days when the wind is strong and the spring is cold.Hong's new wedding dress is obviously looser and larger than that of ordinary brides. If you don't bend over or move around, you just stand there with your arms sleeved, and others will not be able to see the clue.

The carriage was parked at the main entrance of Lao Liang's house. After Hong got out of the car, two Quanfu people invited by Lao Liang's house supported her, one on the left and one on the right, and was about to take her into the main room in a hurry. , blowing up Hong's hijab, and even blowing her new wedding dress close to her body, outlining her figure, the obvious bulge of the lower abdomen, which can no longer be covered by the loose hem.

Piansheng Hong's hands were supported by Quan Furen, and when she pulled back to cover her lower abdomen, those movements that were trying to cover up completely dispelled those who had doubts about her lower abdomen before. As far as Hong's lower abdomen is concerned, it is now certain that the old Liang's family will be "double happiness" this time.

"Hey, did you see, I'm afraid I have a bride!" Jin Xi soon heard a few women behind her talking quietly.

"Marrying a son, this is double happiness!" You said humanely, but there was obviously a sneer in that tone.

Marriage with a child is extremely taboo in this era, whether it is a country family or a high-ranking official's family, because such a thing is related to the conduct and reputation of both men and women.

"A person is not judged by his appearance. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that the eldest grandson of the old Liang family, who read sage books, had such a character and demeanor..."

"You can't slap with one hand, and that girl from the Hong family is not particular about her manners. No wonder the wedding date has to be brought forward. It turns out that there is such a thing..."

"Scholars are acting like this, so the rest of the old Liang family are not much better, right?" Well, Jin Xi finally heard that someone began to point the finger of suspicion at everyone in the old Liang family. There was a wry smile, which was already expected, no wonder others questioned it.

Over there, the Hong family has already entered the door, and the Liang family brothers are divided into several groups, some entertain relatives and friends who came to congratulate, and some are in charge of receiving the Hong family's "send mother-in-law" to sit at the table.

After a while, at the door of the house, Liang Yulin beamed with a dustpan of "Xishi" and spread it out. "Xishi" is nothing more than peanuts, broad beans, jelly beans or something. So they swarmed to Liang Yulin's side, pouted their buttocks and grabbed those 'xishi' that were thrown on the ground.

Jin Xi took this opportunity to enter the main room. On the other side of the main room, Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan both changed into brand-new clothes, and sat on either side of the Eight Immortals Table, on the Eight Immortals Table. Burning billowing red wax.

Surrounded by a group of people, Liang Lisheng and Hong Shi, each holding the red belt at the other end of the bouquet, worshiped heaven and earth, ancestral tablets, and knelt down on the futon to kowtow to Lao Liangtou and Tan Shi He bowed his head and offered tea.

Old Liangtou kept laughing from ear to ear, and kept saying "good, good, good, good, good." Mrs. Tan still had a smile on her face as usual, but Jinxi noticed that when Mrs. Tan kowtowed to her granddaughter-in-law, The corner of the mouth twitched visibly.

After all this was done, the people of Quanfu hurriedly asked Liang Lisheng to send Hong into the bridal chamber. The bridal chamber was Liang Lihui's room. It had been well painted and the bedding on the bed was replaced with brand new ones. Now it was placed with Hong's dowry. It really looks perfect, of course, if the groom doesn't run away.

Old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan also got up, Mr. Liangtou was busy entertaining the guests, while Mrs. Tan was thinking about the kitchen, greeting the women who surrounded her, obviously absent-minded.

Jin Xi glanced at Yang Shi who was wandering in the crowd, trying to escape Tan Shi's evil eyes, and smiled slightly, she could see her, Tan Shi even more so.

Compared with Yang's dodging, Jinxi was more generous under Tan's nose. Seeing that Tan also looked at her with reproachful eyes, Jinxi calmly smiled at Tan, with a frank expression. The meaning of transmission is also obvious.

Originally, when the family was separated, there were two families, but now Jin Xi followed her parents and came here as a relative to give gifts, and the gifts were more generous than those sent by other relatives of Lao Liang's family.Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun couldn't hold back their faces and treated themselves as guests to sit at the table. Instead, they were busy in the front room and the backyard. Jin Xi didn't think so, she was able to position herself as a guest.

After a while, Mrs. Tan finished those fake greetings and the long-mouthed woman who really probed Mrs. Hong's stomach, hurriedly dragged Mrs. Yang's mother and daughter aside from the crowd, and said angrily in a low voice: "Lazy lady, What are you looking at? If you don’t help out in the backyard, don’t expect to eat for three days!”

"Mother, I'm rare, come here to join us, go now, go here!" Yang said with a smile on her face, and moved her feet towards the stove. Suddenly, she saw the man standing there without hesitation. Jin Xi complained to Mrs. Tan: "Yo, isn't that girl Xi, why isn't she working in the kitchen and still watching there! Mother, you have to take care of it!"

In the previous collision of eyes, Mrs. Tan had already read the meaning from Jin Xi's face, and Mrs. Tan also knew Jin Xi's righteousness, so Yang, who was looking forward to it, glared at her, and said angrily: "What do you mean?" Damn, take care of yourself, a big old woman is greedy for a little girl, why don't you go to the backyard and do your work?"

..................................................................

Jin Xi heard the laughter of women and children from the other side of the bridal chamber, so she couldn't help but squeezed over, just in time to see Liang Lisheng lift Hong's hijab with a small scale.

Jin Xi sighed, Lao Liangtou's explanation was not so meticulous, he even did the matter of picking up the hijab, so to be honest, Hong Shi and Liang Lisheng are really a legitimate couple, except that they don't have a bridal chamber.

Counting it, this is the second time Jin Xi saw Hong Shi, and her appearance has not changed from the last time, the only difference is that she has put on makeup.

The eyebrows are drawn curved, the face is covered with powder, several thick layers, and rouge is applied on the white and creepy face, her eyes are not big, but the cheekbones are very high, the rouge is applied near the two cheekbones, it looks like It looked weird, and his lips were painted red, and when he smiled shyly, his whole face looked stiff.

Jin Xi feels that Hong looks more comfortable without makeup.

Although his groom-to-be never showed up, it didn't seem to affect Hong's good mood at all.The moment the hijab was lifted off, she looked up at the person who lifted the hijab shyly, with a smile in her eyes, but Liang Lisheng was frightened by her sister-in-law's half-smile.

Hong immediately sat down on the edge of the bed with her hands folded, and put on a shy smile. No one would be able to tell from her shy look that this girl had already mixed up with her future father-in-law before she even left the house. .

From time to time, some women would come in to congratulate them, and Hong would shyly break off some of the rice cakes on the wedding bed behind him and distribute them to these women. She in the crowd smiled and waved at her. Jinxi had no choice but to change into a shy girl in her teens and walked in front of Hong, called her "sister-in-law", and got a piece of rice from Hong. cake.

At this time, three or two children, seven or eight years younger, were pushed by the mother in front of Mrs. Hong, and asked the bride to wipe the baby's teeth.Jin Xi escaped from Hong's grasp and stood among the women beside her.

Like a puppet on a string, Liang Lisheng blushed. Under Quanfuren's instructions, he cooperated with Hong to complete a series of procedures, and then escaped from this new house as if fleeing. The 'sick' Liang Lihui, Also never showed up.

Jin Xi was wandering around, but she didn't feel much meaning, suddenly, two bright and eye-catching figures flashed in front of her eyes, one red and one green, they were really bright, talking and laughing into the bridal chamber.

Jin Xi took a closer look and saw Liang Yumei and Liang Jinlan approaching arm in arm.

Liang Yumei has a cloud-like bun on her head today, filled with various velvet and silk flowers and silver hairpins with thin tassels.

With such an adornment, Jin Xi feels tired when looking at it, and it makes her neck look thick and short.

The face was obviously painted carefully, but because of the dark complexion, no matter how much powder was applied, it still didn't look white.The thick and frizzy eyebrows are painted black, like two earthworms drooping above the eyes.The lips are also painted, but obviously the lip line is not well drawn, and the corners of the mouth are not symmetrical on both sides.

The eldest nephew got married, and Liang Yumei, as an aunt, wore a dress that was more joyful than the nephew and daughter-in-law. The cuffs, neckline and hem of the dress were embroidered with large peony flowers. When walking around, the witnesses felt a fiery red flower The sea was surging, and she was completely buried in it.

Jin Xi heard some of the women around her laughing secretly, but Liang Yumei didn't realize it, and went forward to congratulate Hong Shi, pretending to be an elder.

In contrast, Liang Jinlan standing behind Liang Yumei's shoulders was much more pleasing to the eye.

Liang Jinlan had already taken off the old clothes she wore when she was working in the kitchen, and changed into a long crimson green floral pleated skirt. Her jet-black hair hung down her waist, and she only pulled a few strands from her ears. , braided into thin braids, wrapped around the back of the head and pressed with a pink silk flower.

On the originally delicate and charming face, a little makeup was applied, and the eyebrows and eyes became more handsome and energetic.

A colorless ribbon is tied on the graceful and slender waist, which outlines the graceful grip of the waist. When walking, it is like a willow in March, shy and shy beyond the spring breeze.

She and Liang Yumei came arm in arm. Liang Yumei looked like a proud peacock with her head held high, while Liang Jinlan lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and the dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible. The eyes of those guests and onlookers, that kind of visual impact, no one can resist.

Jin Xi's gaze swept over the two of them, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile. Liang Jinlan's intentions, she was already extremely beautiful, but she still wanted to pull Liang Yumei out. It sounds good, Liang Yumei is a stepping stone, further highlighting Liang Jinlan's beauty, but Liang Yumei feels sad about herself, Jin Xi secretly shakes her head.

Hong Shi had just touched a child's teeth, when he raised his head, what came into his eyes was such a powerful and visually shocking picture.

Jin Xi obviously noticed Hong Shi's astonishment when she saw Liang Yumei, and the momentary envy when she saw Liang Jinlan, Hong Shi got up from the edge of the bed, and smiled shyly but friendlyly at the two girls.

Jin Xi was not interested in their small talk, and guessed that Mrs. Hong might call herself over to talk with Liang Yumei and the others, and she was still thinking about Mrs. Sun who was busy in the backyard, so she quietly slipped out of the bridal chamber and went to the backyard .

"Xi'er, Mother is going to the front room to look for you!" Sun said when she met Sun at the door of the kitchen.

"What does Mother want from me?" Jin Xi asked.

"It's like this. Just now your fourth uncle said that there are more guests who came to congratulate the house today than we expected. No, your master temporarily asked someone to add a table in the Chen family hall next door. Your helper Busy, first send these melon seeds and rice cakes to the table next door to the Chen family, my pot is still full of meat, so I'll save you a trip." Sun Shi said, bringing a wooden tray from the desk beside him.

"Well, I'll send it right away." Jin Xi said, took the wooden tray, turned and left.

Liang Yumei and Liang Jinlan talked and laughed with Hong Shi in the new house for a while symbolically. Liang Jinlan squeezed Liang Yumei's arm quietly. Liang Yumei understood, so they found an excuse and left hand in hand.

"Lan'er, did you really hear my second brother say that they also came to our house to congratulate?" After leaving the house, the second daughter did not rush back to the backyard, but went to Liang Jinlan's room, closed the door Liang Yumei held Liang Jinlan back and asked urgently .

Liang Jinlan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "My father told my grandfather himself, and I was listening to it at the time, and it is absolutely true that he is talking about his family!"

"However, I also heard from my mother that our house is in front of his house, but we are quite a bit short, and we don't have the face to send invitations. How could they congratulate you instead?" Liang Yumei murmured, both surprised and happy I can't believe it again.

A sneer flashed across Liang Jinlan's eyes, but she smiled sincerely on her face. She pressed Liang Yumei's hand and said in a low voice, "Gu, why are you so smart? Why are you so confused? If he can come to our house to congratulate him, it must be a red flag." I'm following you!"

Liang Yumei was even more astonished, but she heard Liang Jinlan say again: "Sister, don't forget, two years ago when we went to the town to pull clothes, there was a storyteller under the arch bridge, and you were hit by someone and almost fell off the arch bridge. Have you stayed?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything, maybe he happened to pass by and gave me a helping hand!" Liang Yumei stammered, but her eyes were bright.

"Hey, my good aunt, why don't you figure it out? There are so many coincidences in this world. You are a fan of the authorities. You didn't see the look in that person's eyes when he looked at you. Tsk tsk, I can see it clearly from the sidelines." It's definitely different!" Liang Jinlan said persistently.

On Liang Yumei's chubby cheeks, there were two touches of blush that only a girl in Huaichun had. Later, she thought about it all the way, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the way the man looked at her seemed really different!

Thinking of meeting that person soon, Liang Yumei was overjoyed, pinched Liang Jinlan, and said angrily: "Bad Lan'er, I'm so shameless, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

"Don't, don't, can't I stop talking?" Liang Jinlan smiled and begged for mercy, pushed Liang Yumei to her dressing table, and said, "Good aunt, let me help you tidy up first, and I may see you later What about that person!"

At this time, the tables placed in the inner hall were filled with guests one after another, and Liang Yuzhong greeted them from the side.Liang Yumei and Liang Jinlan walked around the courtyard arm in arm, and walked towards the front door happily. Just as they stepped out of the door, two small figures suddenly appeared from the corner and bumped into Liang Yumei's body .
