Flowers are expensive

Chapter 185 Chang Ming's Advice

Lihua stood in front of the windmill and looked at it for a long time, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.In the late summer night, the mountain wind slipped in through the windows, bringing windmills of different designs and colors to rotate lightly, bringing a little bit of coolness to the house.This night, Lihua slept very soundly, not only because of those windmills, but also because of Yuan Yin's heart that loves her.

In the next few days, Lihua officially became busy.Gong's aunt Yuan came to work the next day.She recruited some long-term workers and women one after another, so that the work in the flower field was carried out in an orderly manner.With the experience in Ningjiawan, she did it more smoothly.Although without Cuiyue's help, she has trained two little helpers: Moxiang and Yutao.

Moxiang still ran to the flower fields every day, and Mrs. Zhuang followed, doing some work within her capacity or chatting with the women, but she didn't stay at Xie's house for a while.Lihua heard from Mo Xiang that Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Guan were in a desperate fight over the separation of the family.

Yutao also worked very hard, and she really looked like a little housekeeper when she put on her face.The long-term workers secretly called her Little Manager.Since Man Xiang broke the news last time, the two have become a little more shy and less arguing when they meet. Lihua thinks this is an excellent phenomenon.

The eighth day of August is the day when Moxiang gets married.It had been a long time since there had been a wedding in the village, and this day seemed extraordinarily lively.Lihua and Yuanyin still appeared in Xie's house as Moxiang's fourth aunt and fourth uncle.

Lihua arrived at Xie's house early in the morning to help Moxiang make up her clothes.Yuan Yin hurriedly left after a few minutes.Ewha didn't ask him where he was going, and he has long been used to him in the past few days.Sometimes it disappears for a long time, sometimes it disappears for a day, and it will not come back until dark.Pear Blossom seldom asks questions, but thinks that he should have his own affairs.

Moxiang's hut looked very warm and festive at the moment.The skillful Yutao Qiaozhen and the others have already cut out various patterns of happy characters and pasted them up.When Zhuang came in holding the red hijab, Lihua was putting on makeup for Moxiang.Looking at the rows of makeup boxes on the table, Mrs. Zhuang blinked and said enviously, "There are so many colors! Lihua, you made all these yourself?"

"Yes!" Li Hua replied while giving Mo Xiang Thrush eyebrows with burnt willow branches. See, second sister-in-law, I picked an ivory white to put on Mo Xiang, does it match her skin tone?"

Mrs. Zhuang glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's perfect! Our Moxiang is a beauty, and I will be even more beautiful if I give you such a picture! I'm afraid that Yisheng will take off the hijab later, and he will be so beautiful. Can't stop, what should I do if I faint? I can't enter this bridal chamber!"

Everyone in the room was laughing up and down.Mo Xiang even lowered her head shyly, covering her nose and laughing non-stop.Lihua hurriedly raised her chin, and while applying rouge on the back of her hand, she took a small brush to paint her lips and said, "Don't spoil your makeup! How can you fascinate your Tian Yisheng later?"

"Fourth aunt..." Mo Xiangjiao smiled.

"Don't move, don't move, put on lipstick and you're done!"

Mrs. Zhuang and the girls saw that Lihua was applying color to Moxiang's lips with a small flat brush, so they all came over curiously.Mrs. Zhuang asked: "Where did you get that little brush? It's really good! Usually when we wipe our lips, we just sip and then smear, and there are always places with uneven thickness. This little brush makes it much more even. Yes, the color is nice too!"

"I removed the bristles of the brush and made it myself. Some of the bristles overflowed from my lips when I squeezed it out. It's not as good-looking as this little brush. If you like it, I'll give you one later."

"Then everyone has a share, my host!" Yutao said with a strange smile.

"Okay, everyone has a share!" Lihua readily agreed.

The girls all laughed, and all crowded to the dressing table to paint themselves.Zhuang couldn't make trouble with them, so he went out first.Mo Xiang raised her jaw slightly, asked Li Hua to trim her lips, and asked, "Fourth Aunt, where did Fourth Uncle go?"

"I don't know, maybe it will come soon."

"Will he stop coming?" Mo Xiang asked a little disappointed.

"Why didn't you come?" Lihua suddenly remembered that Xie's family knew that Yuan Yin was not about Xie Manting, so she smiled at Mo Xiang and said, "No, no matter what, he is still your fourth uncle. Your fourth aunt."

"When are you leaving?" Mo Xiang suddenly asked.

"Who said that?"

"Zuzu said it. She said that the fourth uncle will leave here sooner or later, and you will leave at that time, right? What about the flower fields?"

Yutao rushed over and asked, "Who is leaving? Sister Lihua, are you leaving? Are you willing to part with those flower fields?"

Lihua stopped her hands again, and after a moment of silence, she smiled again: "It's still early! The flower field is my painstaking effort, how could I not care about it? Today is your big day, Moxiang, don't worry about me, think about it carefully. Why are you so obsessed with Tian Yisheng now!"

"Yes, yes!" Yutao excitedly pulled Qiaozhen over.The two pretended to be a couple, worshiping and embracing, which made Mo Xiang's face even more red with embarrassment, and made everyone laugh.

Zhen Shi suddenly raised her head and came in to say hello: "Don't just smile, is your makeup ready yet? Your hair hasn't been combed yet, and your clothes haven't been put on yet. Hurry up, don't miss the hour!"

"Got it, got it!" Yutao nodded again and again, "Sister-in-law Zhen, I can't miss you being the mother-in-law of a scholar!"

"Hahaha..." There was another burst of laughter in the room.

Zhenshi smiled from ear to ear, pointed at Yutao and said, "Little girl, you're talking nonsense to me now, and you're going to enter our Xie's house later, let's see how my sister-in-law puts on your little shoes!"

"Hey!" Qiaozhen clapped her hands and yelled, "Yutao, you really want to marry Man Xiang? What about the young master of the Zeng family?"

Yutao blushed, and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Why are you talking about me again? You like Young Master Zeng, so I'll be a matchmaker for you, okay?"

"I don't want it!"

The girls started arguing with each other again, busy helping each other with their makeup.After Lihua finished putting on Moxiang's makeup, she opened the brocade box she had brought. Inside were a pair of coral silver earrings, a pair of silver bracelets and a silver collar with a Ruyi lock.She put them on Mo Xiang one by one.Mo Xiang asked in surprise: "Aunt Si, can you give me all these? You have already given gifts before!"

"I bought this in the county after I met Tian Yisheng last time. I thought that if I didn't have a chance to see you get married, I would give it to you when I met you later. But we two are destined by fate, and I can personally marry you." It's getting married!"

"But these are too many!"

"It's like this once in a lifetime. Today you are the oldest, and you should receive more gifts. The more dowry a girl brings to her in-law's house, the more festive and rich it will be. After today, if you ask for something from your mother's house, your mother's family will not give it to you." of."

Mo Xiang nodded, and accepted it with peace of mind.After Lihua finished dressing her, Yutao and Qiaozhen helped her comb her hair.Lihua took the time to get out of the hut, and saw that many guests were already sitting in the yard, most of them were familiar faces from the village.After Lihua greeted them, she went out of the courtyard, happened to meet Deng Kailuo and asked, "Have you seen my family?"

Deng Kailuo smiled and said: "I saw you and him coming out this morning, aren't you at Xie's house? I haven't seen it now, maybe I'm with Haitang."

Lihua knew that Yuanyin was not with Haitang, because Haitang was chatting in Manxiang House.She was a little disappointed, stood at the door looking forward for a while, and then went back to Moxiang's room.

Not long after, Tian Yisheng came to welcome the bride in a new attire.There is no local custom for the bride to become a monk in a sedan chair, and the female relatives who gave birth to a boy in the same family are invited to carry it.Because it was inconvenient for Zhuang to be pregnant with a child, he hired another female relative from Xie's family to be his mother-in-law.

Before going out, Zhenshi cried and told her to cover Moxiang with a red hijab.The girls beside Yutao Qiaozhen and others also had to put on a look of inseparable crying, and those who had no tears had to pretend to wipe their tears.Mo Xiang didn't intend to cry at first, but when she heard her mother and sisters crying suddenly, she couldn't help crying.Mrs. Zhuang quickly took her hand and comforted her: "This is a crying marriage. You don't have to cry. It will be ugly if you paint your face when you cry. This is your mother and Yutao's business. Good boy, today is a happy day. You You can't cry, it's not auspicious to cry!" Li Hua suddenly felt a little bit beside her, thinking that when she married Yuan Yin, she didn't have such etiquette and excitement, even the most basic worship was saved by Wang Guanshi.Occasionally, she would jokingly tell Yuan Yin that the two were purely having sex without a matchmaker.Seeing such a situation at this moment, she couldn't help but shed two tears with emotion.

Accompanied by Zhen's high and low cries, Mo Xiang was carried out of the room by the mother carrying her red hijab.At this time, Manxiang and Haitang immediately ignited two strings of firecrackers.Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, the mother-in-law carried Moxiang on her back and followed Tian Yisheng out of the gate of Xie's house.Yutao and the others followed closely behind each holding a dowry from Moxiang, and they were about to send it to Tian's house.Then came the porters who carried the dowry and the rejoicers.

Mrs. Zhuang supported the weeping Mrs. Zhen and stood on the threshold to watch them go away.After she couldn't see her figure, under the persuasion of Mrs. Zhuang and Aunt Zhang, Mrs. Zhen stopped her tears and completed the whole process of crying marriage.Next, wait for the women's family to open the table.

Lihua was curious and wanted to go to Tian's house to see what it was like to be married, but Zhuang stopped her, saying that unless they were bridesmaids and senders, the woman's family was not allowed to go to the man's house.She had no choice but to dismiss the idea in disappointment.When the banquet started at noon, she still didn't see Yuan Yin's figure, and she felt a little anxious.Where did this man go?
After entering the table, Yuan Yin still didn't show up, and Xie's family didn't ask, everyone knew it.In fact, Yuan Yin is no longer from the Xie family, so it doesn't matter if he comes or not.But outsiders don't know, so Aunt Zhang and the others asked curiously when they saw Lihua: "Why hasn't your family come here yet? This boss is working too hard, right? Today is his niece getting married and he doesn't take a day off to catch his breath." ?”

Lihua could only smile perfunctorily and said, "Maybe something has delayed me." When she got up to look outside the courtyard again, there was still no sign of Yuanyin.As soon as she turned her head, she saw Chang Ming, smiled perfunctorily and said, "Haven't you been seated yet?"

Chang Ming glanced into the distance and asked, "Waiting for your house... I don't know what to call him, has he not come yet?"

"Nope."

"Aren't you going to come?"

"How come? He promised to come." Li Hua forced a smile and said.

"Maybe...he doesn't want to come at all."

"Brother Chang Ming..."

"Grandma told me who he was."

Lihua was slightly startled, her smile became a little stiff, and she asked, "What do you want to say?" "Grandma said he is a prince, a very powerful prince. It's only natural that he didn't come here. Lihua, there are some things I wanted to say to you a long time ago." That being said, I just don’t know if it’s appropriate or not.”

"Tell me, Brother Chang Ming."

"Are you really going to follow him back to the place called Jingyou City?" Chang Ming looked at Lihua and asked.

"Grandma has told you so many things, even Jingyou City, it seems that she trusts you very much."

"She just wants me to know what kind of people are around me. Lihua, please forgive me, you and him don't seem to be the same. I heard from my grandma that you married him by accident. It was not him who was going to marry, but Xie Manting who stayed in Xie's house instead of me."
