Chapter 26

Xu Xiaofu didn't know what happened to Xie's family. He waited for news from the matchmaker at home. After three days, the matchmaker came to the door and said that Zhao Xiaolan had agreed to the marriage. thing.

Getting married at this time is very troublesome. There are six steps to accept, ask for name, Najib, Nazheng, ask for a date, and meet in person.

Na Cai asked for their names very quickly. When they learned that their birthdays were a match made in heaven, Mrs. Wang was very happy. She informed the woman of the good news of their marriage through divination. Afterwards, Mrs. Wang sent such a good dowry to Zhao's family .Then the wedding day was fixed.

August [-]th coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, advisable: marry, migrate, log, make a beam, set up a bed, sacrifice, pray for blessings and build a house.

The day of the wedding was set on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, so there was only about one month left.

The betrothal gift Wang sent was not light, but the woman was not allowed to dowry. After all, the Zhao family was having a hard time. Wang only wanted to marry a good daughter-in-law, and did not want to embarrass the woman.

Let’s talk about the betrothal gift from the Xu family. Zhao Xiaolan used the money to hire a doctor to cure her mother’s illness. Aunt Zhang told her, “Xiaolan, the Xu family is good. After you marry into the Xu family, you must serve your in-laws well. Do you know? Mrs. Xu's sister-in-law is a kind-hearted girl, and that kid from Qingshan is also good. You have found a good home, and my mother is at ease."

Zhao Xiaolan wiped her eyes, her eyes were red, "Mother, I know that Xiaolan will serve her in-laws well in the future, but... Mother, if my daughter gets married, what will you do by yourself in the future?"

Aunt Zhang patted Zhao Xiaolan on the shoulder, "You silly boy, the Xu family is good, just come back and visit me sometime, the Xu family will definitely not stop you."

After looking for Xiaolan, she still couldn't help crying with a low head.

The days are really fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is already August [-]th, and the day of welcoming relatives is coming.Early in the morning, the Xu family got busy. Now that the second elder brother is getting married, Qing Fei told his husband on leave and came back. The family has been busy since last night.

Fortunately, this marriage does not require many guests.Only relatives at home were invited, and there were almost five tables of banquets.

I had already prepared all the steamed and fried dishes for the wedding last night, and only fried and cold dishes will be used the next day.

There are a total of nine dishes on a table, steamed pork with rice flour, steamed fish, braised meat, croquettes, roasted chicken nuggets with potatoes, stewed pork belly with sauerkraut, stir-fried fat intestines, eight-treasure rice, and a big bone soup. The portion of each dish is full Yes, enough for a table.

Early in the morning, the Xu family was busy preparing, and invited several aunts from the neighbors to come over to help. The eldest aunt Ma Shi also came to help. Seeing the large pots of vegetables on display, Ma Shi picked up a few chopsticks and tasted them. He even said it was delicious, and said: "Sisters and sisters, it seems that you have earned a lot of money, you have married Qingshan a wife, Qingfei can still go to school, tsk tsk, it is really enviable."

Mrs. Wang didn't want to do anything to this Mrs. Ma on her son's wedding day, so she said: "It was hard to save some money, and then let Qingshan marry a wife. What my sister-in-law said is not good. Think about your family Dalang Erlang married a daughter-in-law a long time ago, and now he has given birth to grandsons and granddaughters for his sister-in-law and elder brother, so why should my sister-in-law envy me?"

Mrs. Ma snorted, and didn't help, and began to try one dish after another.

Seeing her like this, Xu Xiaofu snorted and didn't bother to pay attention, after all, today is a good day for the second brother, but it's a pity that the eldest sister can't come back, hey, the eldest sister married far away, so I don't know how things are going now.

Soon, the firecrackers outside the door were already ringing. Xu Xiaofu went out to see that it was the second elder brother who had come back to welcome the bride. The second elder brother was sitting on a tall horse, dressed in red, and had a big red flower on his body. With a happy face, there is a small sedan chair behind him, and Zhao Xiaolan with a red hijab is sitting in it.

Then, after a lot of commotion, it was considered that the worship of heaven and earth was over, Zhao Xiaolan was sent to the bridal chamber, and followed Xu Qingshan out to drink with everyone, this drink will not be able to return to the bridal chamber until evening.Seeing the bustle and bustle in the yard, Xu Xiaofu brought a bowl of food and went to the new house with a smile.The bride was sitting on the new bed, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's me, I'm Xiaofu."

"It's Xiaofu..." Zhao Xiaolan's voice became even lower, as if she was a little shy.

Xu Xiaofu said: "Sister-in-law, if they make such a fuss, I'm afraid it will be night. I'll bring you some food so you can fill your stomach."

"Thank you, Xiaofu."

Xu Xiaofu chatted with Zhao Xiaolan for a few more words before going out.

There was a lot of noise outside, Xu Xiaofu couldn't sit on it, so he went to the kitchen to eat something.

After eating, Xu Xiaofu went to help out in the yard. The yard was buzzing, when there was a knock on the door outside, Mrs. Wang quickly went to open the door, and saw a 40-year-old woman standing outside. , dressed very decently, with a smile on his face, he was taken aback when he saw the commotion inside, and then hurriedly said: "Oh, sister-in-law, there must be a happy event today, right?"

Wang nodded, apparently not understanding who the person in front of him was, "May I ask who you are?"

The woman said with a smile: "I really want to congratulate my sister-in-law, this is a double happiness."

Seeing the woman at the door, Xu Xiaofu also followed, and turned to ask Wang, "Mother, who is this? Is it a relative at home?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head, the woman glanced at Xu Xiaofu with a look on her face.

Xu Xiaofu always felt that the woman looked at her strangely, the woman looked at Xu Xiaofu for a few times before smiling and said: "This must be Miss Xiaofu, right? Miss is really lucky."

Xu Xiaofu smiled, "Auntie really likes to joke, I'm just an abandoned woman, how can I be called a girl, and where did I get such good luck."

The woman glanced at the noisy courtyard, smiled at Xu Xiaofu, and then said to Wang: "Sister-in-law, I'm here to mention your family's Xiaofu as a kiss, how about we talk in the room, what do you think?" Shi hesitated, and the woman hurriedly said again: "Sister-in-law, it's a good thing, it's a good family, if your family's little blessing gets married, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth, sister-in-law, let's go into the house and talk about it."

While hesitating, Mrs. Ma came up with the bowl and chopsticks, and while pulling the pork belly into his mouth, he said to the woman outside the door: "Who are you? Who will marry whom? What about a lifetime of glory and wealth?"

Seeing Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Wang's face darkened, afraid that the woman in front of her would say something bad to Xiaofu, so she hurriedly dragged her into the room, "Then let's talk in the room."

Looking at the closed door, Ma Shi held back her mouth and turned to look at Xu Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, did that person tell you about marriage just now? Auntie can tell you, it's not right for an abandoned woman to bring a baby now." It's easy to marry, it seems that someone wants you now, don't let your mother get confused and push this marriage away."

Xu Xiaofu was too lazy to talk to this person, so he said something that I know and went into the kitchen.Xu Xiaofu was also very curious, few people knew about her relationship with Li, why did someone come to propose marriage so soon?I don't know what kind of family they are, don't be old men, widowers and the like.

Entering the kitchen, Xu Xiaofu saw He Hua obediently sitting on the small bench eating chicken legs, Xu Xiaofu's heart warmed, even if it was for He Hua, she would never remarry in this life.

"Mother, come and eat the legs, the legs are delicious." Lotus raised the half-eaten chicken legs and handed them to Xu Xiaofu.Xu Xiaofu smiled, "Eat lotus, mother is full and not hungry."

Let's say that Mrs. Wang went into the room with the woman and made tea for her. The woman took the tea and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, my surname is Qian. You can call me Qian Matchmaker. I am here to replace you." General Xie came to the house to say hello... Sister-in-law, you are really lucky to have such a good daughter..."

The woman was still talking, but Mrs. Wang didn't listen. Only the words from General Xie's mansion remained in her ears. It took a long time before she came back to her senses and stared blankly at the matchmaker, "Qian Big sister, what are you talking about? Thank you, General Xie?"

Matchmaker Qian happily took a sip of the not-so-good tea, and then said with a smile: "No, sister-in-law, you are really lucky."

Mrs. Wang thought that she had heard wrong, maybe she was just a servant of Xie's mansion, so she couldn't help asking, "Big sister, is she a servant of General Xie's mansion? I don't know how the family is? How is the character?" After all, Xie's mansion is a real Her family is a nobleman, so how could she come to ask for her and her divorced daughter, so it must be a servant of the Xie family, who one day took a fancy to her daughter and asked someone to inquire about it.

Matchmaker Qian covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister-in-law really likes to joke, how could she be a slave, she is the head of the Xie family."

As soon as these words came out, Wang's face changed, and she yelled on the ground, "Even if my daughter is an abandoned wife, she will not be a child for others. She is really shameless. She wants to take a concubine at such an advanced age!" What Wang's hated most in her life was being treated as a child. Her eldest sister was being treated as a child. As a result, her husband's family treated the eldest sister badly. Now she doesn't know whether the eldest sister is alive or dead.

Matchmaker Qian turned pale, and quickly covered Wang's mouth, "Oh, sister-in-law, you misunderstood, it's not old General Xie, but General Xie, General Xie Duanyu, the eldest son of the Xie family!"

What?Wang was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, her face was a little ugly, and she said angrily: "The Xie family is really a bully, so what kind of fate is General Xie? I don't agree!" Mrs. Wang didn't think much about why the Xie family would fall in love with an abandoned woman, but she just wanted to protect her daughter immediately, even if she was an abandoned woman.

Matchmaker Qian said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited, listen to me first, why do you think General Xie fell in love with a woman who has divorced like your daughter? It must not be to harm your daughter, there must be something different." Mrs. Xie has already told me that it is God’s will. Mrs. Xie asked Master Humanities and Rites to approve General Xie’s order. The only person who can relieve General Xie from his wife is your daughter. Your daughter married General Xie will not be killed, but will live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth, sister-in-law, you should think about it clearly."

Wang refused without even thinking about it. She didn't think too much about it. She only knew that a small family like her was too far behind General Xie's mansion. One could imagine what fate Xiaofu would have if she married her. She didn't want to Xiaofu is sad, if Xiaofu is willing, she is also willing to raise Xiaofu and lotus for the rest of her life.

"Big sister, go back, I will not agree to this marriage, no matter what the reason is, even if my family's Xiaofu marries General Xie, he will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, and if he can break General Xie's order to restrain his wife, I will not let my family marry him." Xiaofu married into the General's Mansion."
