A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 67 Wedding (1)
In the early days of March, there were waves of happy events in the village. First, Zhao Yuan, the eldest son of the village head’s family, was going to get married. The person who got married was the distant niece of his mother, Zhang’s natal family. She had been married years ago. Dear, it happened to be an auspicious day in March after the three mediators and six hires passed. Then Zhao Dahai, the eldest son of Zhao Shan’s family, also started talking about his wife. I introduced my mother's family to be poor, and it is said that people are very filial, which is also good, but after all, Zhao Dahai is not young, and he will be married soon after the engagement, and the woman's family doesn't mind. March.

Perhaps March is really a good month. Yan Qing’s family, the only scholar in the village, proposed marriage to Li’s family, and soon the two made an engagement. Originally, Li Yun was supposed to get married this year after he was fifteen. , but the Yan family said that Yan Qing is going to take the imperial examination this year. In order not to be distracted, he will postpone the marriage first. If he wins the exam, he will be more happy.

When Li Xi heard the news, she didn't feel anything. It didn't matter to her who Yan Qing was, and there was no disturbance in who she got engaged to marry. With fame and fame, being a scholar in this era is not just talk, and it is not easy to test. Some people even fight for the title of a scholar when they are 50 or [-] years old. Yan Qing, a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old This achievement, although the talent is not the best, but it is good. It is said that it is okay to marry someone with better conditions. It's not that she doesn't like Li Yun's family background, after all, she is a country girl. Go to a rich family.

In the end, Li Xi just thought about it for a while. What does other people's affairs have to do with her? Why did Guan Yanqing ask Li Yun to marry him? How many red envelopes are appropriate for the village head's family and the third aunt's family.

Squatting on the bed and counting the fortunes of the family, she has not let her down after so many days of busy work. The prey obtained in the trap, excluding the cost, now Li Xi has more than two taels of silver, plus the hundreds of Wen left by Zhao Mu, it is only three taels of silver. According to the conversion method here, one tael and two taels of silver, and one thousand taels of silver, the money here is still worth a lot. Usually, people spend a year in a hurry, and the cost is five or six taels of silver. It's pretty good money.

In the end, the red envelopes given to the two families were a lot because of the help of the village head. Li Xi wrapped fifty coins, which was considered a good red envelope. The third aunt’s family wrapped thirty coins, and the red envelopes were wrapped in a small cloth bag, which was pasted outside I bought some red paper, but I still tore off a piece of the red paper from the couplet on the door panel, sticking it with two grains of rice.

On the day Zhao Yuan got married, many people in the village went to watch the excitement. People here advocated late marriage, which started in the evening, so Li Xi took Zhao Mu to help early in the morning, knowing that it was only in the evening that they heard the news from the village head. The sound of firecrackers sounded, it was the bride's sedan chair.

Li Xi is busy in the kitchen all day, picking vegetables, washing vegetables and lighting fires is also busy, but this is always the case for farm weddings. Of course, she is not busy alone. The older girls and daughter-in-laws from the village also came. Even Mrs. Zhang herself has been busy all day long, but seeing that her mouth has not closed today, she is happy throughout the whole process.

"Xi'er." Li Xi was fetching water in the backyard, but Zhao Mu came running.

Putting down the bucket, Li Xi looked at him in surprise and said, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to go to the front to help." The banquet is in the front yard. With so many people coming, there must be several tables. There are not so many tables. Moving tables and setting up stools is hard work, and there are quite a few big and small guys here, and Zhao Mu is among them.
