Chapter 346 wedding(1/2)
Bingwu Horse Year, Yiwei month, Xinwei day. The 32nd year of Guangxu, the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. The 06th year of the Western calendar, the 26th day of the seventh month.
Fengniugou, which has a history of less than 20 years, ushered in the biggest event since the village was founded. Wang Yan got married and married two people at once.
Because the two women's parents were far away from each other, Wang Yan took advantage of the time and drove a carriage to take Liu Fanglan from Hecheng to Bingcheng. After freshening up in a newly bought big house there, he followed him over a hundred miles away.
Together with Wang Yan, who was picking up the bride, we first took a carriage to the outside of Yuanbao Town, and then boarded the eight-carriage sedan that had been prepared earlier.
In front is the most famous opera troupe playing gongs and drums to clear the way. Wang Yan is riding a tall horse, and behind are two eight-carriage sedans side by side, and then the people from the opera troupe are trailing behind. In the end, you can't see the head even if you look straight at it.
, carrying all kinds of beds, tables, utensils, boxes and cages, quilts and other messy things that were covered by red cloth that were needed for daily life. Because today was the day to move into a new house, I counted all kinds of things and simply
So I just made do with Shili Hongzhuang. The four outer circles were adults throwing wedding candies and money, attracting a group of children who happily gathered around to pick them up.
It was nine miles from Yuanbao Town to my home in the east of Fangniugou Village. They boarded the sedan one mile outside the town. They were full of strength. All the buildings along the way were basically tied with red cloth strips, but there were no buildings.
Half of the crops near the roadside were covered with red cloth strips, and stakes were set up in the water, which was red all the way.
"Who is that on the horse? It looks like you are marrying two people together?"
"You don't even know about him? The man named Wang from Fangniugou used to gamble, go to brothels, and lose his fortune. I don't know why, but he suddenly started to tremble."
"How can you marry two people? I heard someone said that he gave the two wives and their families a bride price of ten gold bars."
"It seems that I got rich after going to Laojingou to pan for gold."
"Where is ten? Why did I hear it was six?"
"Awesome, he didn't get married until he was thirty years old. Once he got married, he married two. I heard they were both young girls from good families. I don't know if he can do it."
"Don't worry about other people. I heard from our family member that she was chatting with your wife and said that you were almost mean."
…
"Hey, you kid, why are you trying to steal money from others? I think you deserve a beating."
"Come over and have a look? We might have to set up a large flowing banquet like this, and maybe we can even have a meal."
"There's no need to say anything, just hurry up and follow."
"Let's go, let's go."
The group of people passed through Yuanbao Town in a lively and noisy manner. In addition to children, there were also many people who came to watch the excitement. They walked noisily on the dirt road and the scenery was incomparable...
After setting up two girls with the matchmaker, the matchmaker set off in person and went to Bingcheng and Hecheng successively. Together with the two matchmakers, they went to the two girls' homes to lobby. Don't blame them for being serious, five taels of gold bars would be enough for them to work for several years.
Okay, this is just one. Not counting their help and friendship before and after running, if anything happens in the future, you can also go to Wang Yan to solve it, and you must be dedicated.
Liu Fanglan from Hecheng is easy to say. Her family conditions are average, and she and her younger brother are not treated well by their stepmother, so they live a useless life. Of course, even if she doesn't want to get married, her stepmother will let her go if she is hanging by three gold bars.
Her biological father has a soft ear and will force her to get married when the time comes. However, her request is to take her biological brother with her, even if she is young. This is the main reason why she did not marry when she was nineteen. If not for her death,
She was sold alive a long time ago. Her biological father may not have wanted to, but because of the stepmother's support, he agreed. The remaining problem is Wang Yan's side. It depends on whether he wants it or not. After all, he is a burden.
.
When the news came back, Wang Yan naturally didn't care. He was just raising a person for free, so he agreed without saying a word. He sent his men to go to the address, brought his own handwritten letter, and gave her some money to buy a wedding dress.
Liu Zhi in Bingcheng is a bit difficult to deal with. Although they are still from a feudal family, they are still considered intellectuals. There is only one girl in the family. Although the three gold bars are indeed very tempting, they still don't want to push their daughter too much. Two matchmakers
Along the way, there was a lot of talk about improving life and buying a house, and the third child marrying this and that. In the end, it was Liu Zhi's married brother's daughter-in-law who came to the rescue. She was tempted, and she has always been tempted. Anyway, it was the same.
After much tossing, Liu Zhi finally agreed, for the sake of a better life for his family. The most important thing was that Wang Yan had a gun, and they were a little scared.
After receiving the news that both parties agreed, Wang Yan set off with his men and came to propose marriage with gifts. At first, both girls were very nervous and full of doubts about the future. However, after meeting Wang Yan again, this kind of thing disappeared, and there were still some
Xiao Xingxin is a wishful husband, but he has a bigger heart. But having said that, the husband also made it clear that he will not take another concubine in the future, just the two of them. To talk about such a big family fortune,
Isn't it normal for a character whose actions are based on the environment to have a fourth concubine and a fifth concubine?
If they believe what Wang said, they believe it.
As for the parents of both parties, Liu Fanglan’s father will not mention it. According to her, she will try not to have a future in the future. Liu Zhi’s parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are very satisfied with Wang Yan. He speaks insightfully and combines it with the money and the guns.
, he is a promising one. And it doesn’t look like he is treating his wife harshly, which is good.
In this way, the marriage was decided.
After the house was completely built and all the furniture was ready, Mr. Wang personally made a fortune and chose such an auspicious day to get married, move, move into the house, set up a bed, and have children. He calculated carefully.
Time, double happiness comes today...
After crossing the small stone bridge in the west of the village, it marked the official arrival at Fangniugou. The gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers were blasting. It was not just a joke. Then a group of people from the village, as well as people who had come to help from the next village, gathered and marched eastward.
When they arrived at the door of the house in the east of the village, there was another burst of firecrackers, and then after a series of complicated ceremonies, the two brides were placed on the big Kang in one room after another.
After driving away a group of spectators, Wang Yan, who was in the west room, was playing with his wedding dress on the table and looked at Liu Fanglan, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, wearing a red wedding dress and covering her head, holding a handkerchief tightly in both hands.
He reached out and grabbed her slender, slightly rough hand, feeling the slight trembling, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, come on, follow me."
Liu Fanglan stood up gently, looked at the road under her feet through the gap in her hijab, and slowly followed the man who was about to become her husband out of the west room, walked through the main hall, walked into the east room, and then reached the Kang, sat down, and asked her to
Subconsciously, she sat on the edge of the kang obediently. Through the gap under the hijab, she saw the same blush as hers next to her.
Wang Yan looked at the two nervous girls in front of him and didn't say anything to comfort him. It was the first time, so that's understandable. He turned around and held another wedding ring, and intimately warned: "Lift the hijab." Then he raised his hand.
One of them greeted her with joy and raised the hijab of the two girls together.
In fact, it's not the time to take off the hijab yet. He has to go out to drink with others and thank the guests from all over for the support, and then come back to take off the hijab. But obviously, there are never so many rules in his place.
The hijab was lifted, and the two women looked at the man in front of them. Then they turned to look at each other in understanding. Their faces turned red for a moment, and they bowed their heads shyly. They responded with a "hmm" like a mosquito. There was quite a tacit understanding.
.
Shaking his head and smiling, Wang Yan said: "I don't have so many rules. I'll ask my sister-in-law to bring you some food and drink later. Don't be hungry. If you are sleepy, just fall asleep first. It just so happens that you two sisters also
I’ve never met before, let’s get to know each other first, and then the three of us will live together. That’s all we said, and we went to drink.”
After that, no matter what the two women's reactions were, they laughed and walked out the door.
There were many people coming, and his luxurious mansion could not accommodate that many people. Not counting the banquet held at Lao Zhu's house, Han Laohai's house and the two families beyond, there were all people on and off the kang, both inside and outside the house. There were also
Many adults and children came to watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, they borrowed several large and small places in the west. Wang Yan was not stingy. His income of one large yellow croaker an hour was beyond the description of a wealthy man.
Even if you can eat a big yellow croaker, these people are better than cattle, and they are open to the world.
It was impossible to prepare so many things. Pots, pans, tables, chairs, benches, etc. were all cobbled together by the two villages. It was all out of love. If Wang Yan's revealed strength was excluded, it would be pure nostalgia to have so many people come. But
It's a pity that if he didn't have those, he wouldn't be able to marry two beautiful daughters-in-law, so why would he be so grand?
There are so many people eating, and the master chef and his team hired by the town to do the work can't handle it at all. The women in the village are helping with the work, plus the nearby Xishan Laolinzi stationed in Yuanbao Town that he transferred
There are a hundred men in the house, including those who can cook, helping to pick vegetables, chop them into cubes, etc. This is considered to be the best way to greet them.
Wang Yan was destined to be famous for hundreds of miles. According to legend, no matter how drunk he was, he could not accompany so many people. He could only try his best to take care of him. Starting from his own yard, he was all neighbors, including Xia Yuanzhang and others.
Yushu and the three boys from Lao Zhu's family are all here, and they are close to each other. When it comes to Lao Zhu's house, there are just this and that from Han Laohai's family, and he doesn't know any of them at all. As for
Not to mention the tables further back.
Wang Yan started drinking. When he arrived at Lao Zhu's house and drank for more than half of the time, he realized that he would not be able to get married if he drank any more, so he started to play around and drank water. He just stayed with her from beginning to end, even if the people behind him were just having sex.
Yes, when he came over, he toasted several glasses of wine. No matter what, it added to the excitement and happiness, and you had to drink when you should. From noon on, Wang Yan accompanied him with wine and water until the evening, and everyone helped
After waiting until the woman took the child to sit down again and expressed her gratitude, she returned to the room in a daze.
Kicked away the three boys from Lao Zhu's family, the younger brother brought by Liu Fanglan, and other half-grown children of both men and women who came to make trouble in the room. After letting his subordinates watch and not disturb others, he opened the door and entered the main hall, and entered the east room in twos and twos.
.
Inside the house, Liu Zhi and Liu Fanglan got along very well, and they were talking happily. Before they entered the door, they heard the two of them giggling. On the table on one side were the leftovers of the two of them, with drunken looks on their faces.
Both of them were blushing. When they saw Wang Yan come in, they immediately stopped laughing and straightened their bodies.
"It was a good conversation, why don't you talk anymore?"
The two girls looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all looked at Wang Yan, but neither of them said anything, too embarrassed to speak.
Wang Yan took the wine cup, poured three glasses, and gave one to each of the two women: "We got married today, and we have settled down. From now on, we will live a prosperous life. You have been on the road for a while, no?
It’s easy, but also very tiring. Come on, let’s drink our own wedding wine and rest now.”
Visible to the naked eye, the two women's faces were blushing to their necks.
Liu Fanglan, a simple-minded peasant girl who couldn't read a word, stumbled in disbelief with her heroic appearance: "The... king... uh... the head... um... shall we rest together?"
"What else?" Looking at her big eyes funny, Wang Yan didn't give them a chance. Each of them stuffed a glass of wine in his hand, raised the small wine cup in his hand and touched them both: "Drink!"
At this point, it was definitely impossible to run away. The two women did not say they were willing to risk their lives, but they still drank wine.
It didn't matter that they were dawdling, Wang Yan was always good at helping people make decisions and help them face what they should face. Such as undressing the red clothes, such as turning up the red bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks, such as feeling every inch of each other's skin, such as dots and drops.
Red, like pain first and then happiness and comfort...
Wang Yan did not forget to pass on the family line and activate skills, one family at a time...
Good!
Life after marriage is no different. This is not modern, there is nothing sweet, and the two girls are not jealous concubines. After their first night together, the united front is in perfect harmony. Knowing that Liu Fanglan is illiterate, Liu Zhi volunteers to teach her how to read.
Recognize words.
All the work in the big house, including farming, washing and cooking, was all paid to hire people, and the rest was done by the guards. There was nothing for the two women to do. The two of them wandered all over the mountains and fields, learning to ride horses and shoot guns.
, occasionally getting close to Lao Zhu’s wife.
To be continued...
