Chapter 137
After the groom Xu Mu finally received the bride, the Cheng family's banquet began.They were all from the same village, and they didn't pretend to be polite, and they all kept their hands back when pouring Xu Mu.After the villagers ate their bellies and it was time for Yinhua to go out, she cried several times since the banquet, and Zhuhua wondered if she did it on purpose, because after crying, Yinhua's eyes were not only not swollen but Double eyelids appear, and the water is brighter than usual.

I don't know if it was because she was crying too sadly, or because she had the experience of Jinhua's marriage last time, Sun couldn't cry, thinking that even if her daughter got married, she would either return to the capital in a few months, or live far away That's all.At the end of the crying marriage, the Sun family basically belonged to Qianhao, but there was no tear.Cheng Dashan did cry, and almost cried with Yinhua.For some reason, Zhuhua felt like laughing.Cheng Dashan was so choked up that he couldn't say what he told Xu Mu at the end, he pointed to Yinhua and waved his fist at Xu Mu.Xu Mu saluted solemnly, presumably he understood what Cheng Dashan meant.

There was another person present who was crying very sadly, that was his uncle Sun Shitou. Zhuhua took a glance and found that his youngest son, Sun Sanniu, was looking at Biaolei's father curiously, and he was still turning his head from time to time when he followed the procession to Xu Mu's house. .Sun Sanniu looks very similar to Daniu when he was a child, both of them are clever and clever, and it is said that he is more hideous, wild and fearful than Daniu.

There is no custom of bridesmaid here, otherwise Zhuhua, who is the younger sister of the bride, would also go to Xu's house with her.She had heard that the bridal chamber was quite serious, and some ignorant ones would even make a fool of the groom on purpose to prevent him from having the bridal chamber as he wished.

The last time Qin San got married, there were not many people making trouble.Firstly, he also knew Cheng Dashan, who was lower than Cheng Dashan in many levels, so naturally he didn't dare to make more trouble; secondly, all the best men he invited were very powerful, able to stop people who didn't know what they were interested in, and then Qin San The man who invited to be the best man drank wine for a month.This time when Xu Mu got married, there were quite a few people who wanted to make trouble. Many of his best men were well-mannered, and it was not easy to deal with the rough-and-tumble villagers in the countryside.

The wedding banquet was still going on until the climax of the moon, Xu Mu's best man had already drunk, and the uncles who accompanied Yinhua were also tired.There are quite a few brothers who sent Yinhua here. Needless to say, my younger brother Changzi, and Dabao and Erbao. Aunt Li's son Li Liangzi and his eldest son made up an even number.

Looking at this scene, Li Liangzi reckoned whether Xu Mu's bridal chamber would be successful this year was a problem. Seeing that Sun Sanniu at the banquet couldn't sit still and wanted to go home, he wondered if they should leave first.At this time, a pretty little girl poked her head at the gate of Xu's courtyard, and after taking a look, she trotted in.San Niu saw her with sharp eyes and opened his hand towards her.

"Sister, hug."

"Okay." Hua Niu, who is not much taller than Sanniu, picked up Sanniu, and said to the two elder brothers, "Mother came to ask when you are ready to eat. Let's go home when we are done."

"Okay, that's it." Daniel and Er Niu stood up.

They got up, and other people at the banquet also stood up. Li Liangzi went to talk to the host, and when he turned around, he heard Hua Niu say to the people who took the lead in making noise: "Grandpa Li, please drink less, Aunt Sun." He told you to take care of your body and don't drink too much."

The person who was called shrank his hand holding the wine glass, turned his head and gave Hua Niu a shy look, seeing that Hua Niu was looking at him with a red face, he was a little embarrassed.It stands to reason that he is ten years older than Sun Shi and a generation older, so he shouldn't be afraid of her, but when he was young when he replaced his cousin who was beaten by Sun Shi to ask for an explanation, Sun Shi slapped him ruthlessly , almost ruined his children and grandchildren.He still remembered that Mrs. Sun said happily at that time that he was obviously older than her, and he came to the door by himself, so he couldn't blame her for being broken.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to pour Xu Mu wine anymore, what if Sun's temper came up and blocked him; and Cheng Dashan, now he is a high-ranking official, let him forget that Cheng Dashan initiated It's a matter of fighting to the death with one enemy five without mercy.With a cold back, he stopped drinking, said a few words of congratulations, and went home.When the other booers saw this, they also thought of the horror of the Cheng family. In the past, they didn't dare to provoke this family until they made a fortune. Now that they are still officials, they would raise their hands if they killed them.Thinking about it this way, they immediately dispersed.Xu Zhang, who was waiting to see off the guests, understood that the Cheng family was really hard to mess with in the village. Why did she think she could handle Sun's daughter back then?

Once the guest left, the Xu family would naturally arrange the rest, and Xu Mu was finally able to enter the bridal chamber.Even though he was very drunk, his heart was very sober.Walking into the festive new house, he looked at the longing man sitting on the bed.A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, so I don't need to mention it.

Seeing Huaniu came back, Zhuhua took her to the side and muttered for a while.Beggar Hua Niu went over to have a look and scare the bridal chamber by the way. It was indeed Zhuhua's idea. She didn't expect the effect to be so good. How much did her mother do in the first place?She really wanted to stay in the country for a while longer, the days of the Sun family in August [-]th.

On the day when Yinhua came back from the Three Dynasties, Mrs. Sun's face was radiant when she saw her coming, and she felt relieved.Cheng Dashan finally calmed down now, and took Xu Mu to explain the matter, Sun took Yinhua to the house to talk, Jinhua got up and went in together.Zhuhua wanted to hear it too, but Sun shut the door and asked her to watch Huanhuanxichangzi and Diandian.

Zhuhua pulled her face down angrily, looked at Huanhuan and Xixi beside her, and pouted at them, "Your grandma asked me to take care of you."

"My aunt lied to Yin, but grandma didn't say anything." Huanhuan immediately retorted.

"Uncle, auntie cheated on Yin?" Xixi pursed her lips aggrievedly, not forgetting to draw an ally.

But the alliance she drew was not firm. After taking a look at Zhu Huapi's smiling face, he didn't feel happy about it, and said, "How did I hear that mother said that sister should take good care of you?" ?”

"The ears are good." Zhuhua patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said deliberately: "Let's go, my sister will take you to eat delicious food."

"We want seven too." Huanhuan immediately hugged her when she heard the food.

"You have to control us, don't make us hungry." Xixi said confidently.

"It's just the two of you who have a lot of things to do." Zhuhua pinched the faces of the two of them, squatted down and wanted to hug them one by one, but unexpectedly failed to hug them, and sat down on the ground.

Intestine couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.The two little ones pressed on her even more, covering their mouths and laughing like their intestines.

"Auntie is too stupid."

"Are you stupid?"

Zhuhua tried her best to maintain a smile, and glanced at Changzi, and Changchang immediately lifted up the two little ones, and pulled Zhuhua up again.Seeing you at the beginning of Qiu, who was busy in the kitchen, she hurried out to help Zhuhua tidy up her clothes. At this moment, Dabao and Erbao also came in from the outside, and the two younger ones rushed over, one pulling the other to talk about what just happened.

"Uncle, my aunt just sat on the ground."

"Auntie is so stupid, she fell to the ground in one hug."

"You can't say that, children should listen to it obediently, and don't make fun of the elders. Otherwise, the aunts and uncles will not love you." Dabao taught patiently.

"Yes, Uncle." The two replied casually, and began to describe the process of Zhuhua's fall.

Zhuhua helplessly shook her head at the side, it's really hard to take care of children.

Mrs. Sun and the others chatted in the room for a long time, and when Yinhua came out, their faces were all red.Zhuhua looked at her outside with a half-smile, even though Yinhua was married now, seeing her as a girl, Zhuhua couldn't help but feel hotter on her face.She walked up to the beaded lace and gave her a look, then pinched her face.

"See if I don't laugh at you in the future."

"What are you making fun of me for?" Zhuhua raised her eyebrows and asked.

Knowing that she was shameless, Yinhua quickly turned her head and called Mrs. Sun to complain to her.Mrs. Sun glared at her, and Zhuhua immediately became honest, but when Mrs. Sun turned her head, Zhuhua deliberately bumped into Yinhua again.

"Sister, you look pretty~"

"You bad girl." Yinhua pinched her angrily, then turned her head and stood behind Jinhua and ignored her again.

Zhuhua would not joke with Jinhua, because when Jinhua made up her mind to ignore it, she really ignored others like a piece of wood.

After the family had a lively homecoming banquet, Cheng Dashan stayed in Lijia Village with Mrs. Sun for a few more days before returning.A few days later, Sun and Zhuhua also packed their things and prepared to go home. The day before going home, Yinhua came to Cheng's house to talk, but Zhuhua was not kicked out this time.

"Sister, are you used to living in the Xu family?" Zhuhua pretended to be serious and asked, winking at Yinhua.

Yinhua turned her head and ignored her, and helped Mrs. Sun tidy up the clothes that she would not bring back.Now Mrs. Sun has a lot of new clothes every year. Apart from the ones made in the mansion, there are also gifts from outsiders.The maids in her yard are young, and these clothes can't be rewarded to them, so they can only be brought back to give to others, and a few sets can be put in the old house so that they can wear them in the future.

Seeing that Yinhua avoided her, Zhuhua followed with a smirk, and asked, "Do you want to tidy up for your mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Sun is bigger than Mrs. Xu and Zhang, so she can wear these clothes after changing them.

"She will think about it." Yinhua said lightly.

"If she heard that my aunt got it, but she didn't, she might think more about it." Zhuhua chuckled lightly.

Yinhua felt polite when she heard this, and she really sorted out two brand new clothes from Sun's unwanted clothes. She looked at the color as a little old-fashioned, and Xu Zhang didn't know if she would like it?

"This color is good. I remember that my second sister used to love this color the most." Zhuhua pointed to a deep purple shirt with large sleeves and said.

"No way." Yinhua denied without changing her face.

Zhuhua snickered, but didn't try to expose her, and said, "Would you like to find out if there is any bright color, and make it for your sister-in-law? She hasn't dared to wear your little shoes these days, has she?"

Yinhua snorted and looked at Zhuhua hesitantly, but when she saw Zhuhua looking over curiously, she refused to speak again.

"Sister, she doesn't want something from you, does she? Tell me quickly, and I'll give you an idea. "

"I still need your advice?" Yinhua said disdainfully, she continued to arrange her clothes with the corners of her lips curled up.

Her shallow-sighted sister-in-law did come to her house, looked here and there, touched here and there, said a lot with express hints, and wanted Yinhua to give her something.But how could Yinhua fulfill her wish so easily, besides, if she couldn't even deal with a village girl who had never seen the world, it would be useless to stay in the capital for so many years.

Even later, her mother-in-law stood up and said a few words for her sister-in-law, using Xu Lan's reason for marrying in the future.In fact, Mrs. Xu Zhang also wanted to test it out, to see if Yinhua would listen to her mother-in-law.Yinhua also replied, saying that Xu Lan's makeup would not be missing, and that since her mother-in-law opened her mouth, she would also give Xu Lan the pair of bottles she brought as a dowry.

"The pair of bottles are antiques and they cost 500 taels in the capital. I originally wanted to keep them in our Xu family's town house. If it's not convenient to display them, it would be good to keep them as family heirlooms. Since my sister's dowry is still lacking in things, Why don't you just take this pair of bottles with you."

Mrs. Xu and Zhang firmly disagreed. This is 500 taels of silver. No family in this country would pay so much money for their daughter. The total value of the dowry that the Xu family prepared for Xu Lan did not exceed 100 taels.She already thought that Xu Lan's original dowry was too thick, but now that she did this again, wouldn't the old Xu's family's fortune be moved, which is not acceptable.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu and Zhang didn't agree, Yinhua felt it was a pity on the face, but she burst into laughter in her heart.

Mrs. Xu and Zhang didn't see it, and said: "Since this bottle is valuable, why don't you pawn it to buy it, it's better than putting this dead thing here."

"Mother, this thing makes money faster than Zhuangzi. In a few years, the price may increase to thousands of taels. This old good thing is hard to find in the capital. Otherwise, why would my daughter-in-law ask for it from my mother?" Well. It’s just that if it’s placed in the house, if any child touches it, it will be broken, and the pieces are worthless.”

"That's right, keep it safe. There are a lot of things in your house, remember to lock them when you go in and out, so that no one can get in." After she finished speaking, she lowered her voice and said, "Don't tell me about the dowry. "

"Yes, mother is more thoughtful." Yinhua flattered.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu and Zhang proudly pointed out a few words to Yinhua, but never asked Yinhua to add something to Xu Lan's dowry.

Under Zhuhua's pitiful eyes, Yinhua told the story, which made the mother and daughter in the room laugh.

Mrs. Sun said: "This Mrs. Xu Zhang is really short-sighted. Ah Yin, you have to take care of those things."

"I know, I have a dowry booklet, and I have counted everything in it. Besides, the house is locked when no one is in the house, and Xia Bai is watching outside, so nothing will happen."

"I've seen it for a while, you have to take this thing back to your new house in the town."

"No need, I'll stay in the country and have a look." Yinhua said with the corners of her lips curled up.

In fact, there were not many good things in her dowry.Even if the number of boxes is the same as Jinhua's, the contents inside are of a lower grade than Jinhua's, but this is enough to scare people in the countryside.For the price difference, she discussed with Mrs. Sun and bought another shop in the capital. It happened that Zhuhua wanted to open a new doll shop at that time, so Zhuhua rented it out.The two also wrote a very formal contract and kept it with Mrs. Sun.

The pair of bottles she told Xu Zhang earlier were probably the most valuable among them, and they could sell for 500 taels in the sky.However, it is difficult to have a real price for antiques, and she is not afraid of Mrs. Xu and Zhang going out to inquire.

After Sun and the others set off to return to Chang'an, half a month later, Xu Lan was going to get married.Jinhua and Zhuhua were also given makeup beforehand, one was given a jade bracelet, and the other was given a jade bracelet.Xu Lan showed off for a while, and looked forward to Yinhua bringing out good things when she added makeup.Yinhua also lived up to her expectations, and gave her a set of golden facial masks on the day of adding makeup.It would be nice to have a piece of silver jewelry in this country. Many people use copper bracelets. Xu Lan got a whole set of peony-shaped gold hairpins all at once, and she couldn't help but stare.

Even though Xu Mu was a Jinshi, she didn't have much silver in her family. Her best jewelry was the silver lilac from her aunt, and the best jewelry might be the jade from Zhuhua and Jinhua, but she didn't know how much it was worth when she showed it off. For silver, I only know that jade bracelets are quite expensive, more expensive than silver bracelets.She knew that the things Yinhua gave her were expensive, and the other girls who came to add makeup to her knew it too, and they all looked around enviously, even Mrs. No gold jewelry yet.

As if she knew what she was thinking, Yinhua went to Mrs. Xu Zhang's house at night when there was no one else around, and gave her a gold hairpin.

"It will be my sister's big day soon, and my mother should also add a new piece of jewelry. It's just that the daughter-in-law has no monthly records, and the private house in her hand is not much left after adding makeup to her sister. I can't buy a set that is better than my sister's." , I can only give a hairpin first. In the future, if the husband is an official, I will ask him to buy a set of style for the mother."

The golden hairpin that Yinhua gave was more grand and luxurious than the golden hairpin that was given to Xu Lan. It was also in the shape of a peony. You have to push: "I'm old, why do you still wear these, you can take it back and wear it yourself."

"How old is mother? She looks less than thirty, and this hairpin fits just right." Yinhua said, she picked up the hairpin and helped Mrs. Xu Zhang wear it, and stood with her in front of the somewhat blurred bronze mirror. According to a long time.

It's not that Yinhua has become generous all of a sudden, this hairpin was the one that Xia Fen secretly bought back then, she liked it very much at first, but she didn't want to wear it anymore afterwards, it would be a pity to give it away casually.When she was packing up the things she brought to Li's Village, she saw the hairpin again, so she decided to give it to Mrs. Xu Zhang. After all, it would be a bad idea to give it to Xu Lan.

Mrs. Xu and Zhang didn't know this, but she thought that this daughter-in-law was generous, and the Cheng family was really rich, so the marriage was a good one.On the day of Xu Lan's wedding, she wore this hairpin and the new clothes Yinhua gave her, and she was very beautiful for a while.When Xu Mu saw this hairpin, he was taken aback for a moment, he remembered that it belonged to Yinhua, could it be that Yinhua lent it to Niang Daidai?

When he asked about it, Yinhua said that the hairpin had been given to Mrs. Xu Zhang, and she said something about being filial to her parents in front of Xu Mu, which moved Xu Mu very much.Yinhua is not stupid, since she wants to give something to gain fame, it is natural to let the most important people know, and she can't just say it on her own initiative.She originally planned that if Xu Mu didn't find out, she would let the two girls pretend to chat privately.
