Dozens of miles of red dowry and dowry on horse-drawn carriages were lined up in an orderly manner from the gate of the Ling family to the end of the village. Countless red silk ribbons were tied on the roofs of the village, on the trees by the roadside...anything that could be hung.
In order to prevent accidents, the villagers of Guangping Village formed a convoy on their own, because the surging crowd came in an endless stream, shoulder to shoulder, and everyone stretched their heads to watch.
This is a grand wedding that is rare in a century!
Of course, this is only limited to eight villages, but such a grand wedding is rarely seen in Lingshan County.
Red lanterns opened the way, and gongs and drums were played along the way, making it very lively.
"Sister-in-law of the Yang family, come on, come on, take your sister and follow me."
Among the people walking on the road, one of them couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Zhou, what happened?"
"The wedding of the elder sister of the Ling family in Guangping Village is a battle comparable to a wealthy family marrying their daughter. If we don't hurry up, we might not be able to see it again."
"Oh! Let's go quickly."
Not only them, but villagers from various towns in Lingshan County put down their work on the wedding day of the second child of the Ling family and rushed to the road where the carriage passed by to watch.
"This master of the Ling family is really willing to give up. This endless dowry is really the envy of others!"
"Who says it's not? I heard that this is just superficial. There are still thirty acres of fertile land that cannot be taken away, and a store in the county..."
"Hey! If only I had a younger brother like this."
"Who says it's not the case? I heard in the past that there is only one male in the Ling family who has been bullied a lot. Now look who dares to bully them?"
"I once heard from others that people who proposed marriage didn't like the second young lady of the Ling family very much when they saw her age. Now, what will happen to those who dislike the second young lady's age when they see this dowry?
Your mood? In total, your intestines are full of regret?"
"Also, I also heard that Ling Ju was the one who picked the sisters' husbands. They didn't care about their background or family background. There were so many people, but they only picked a stinky boy who could hardly afford to eat."
"So, the children still have to go to school. Even if they can't win the scholarship, they can still marry a wife."
"This is absolutely true. I want my dog to go to school even though I am trying to sell everything..."
"Yes, yes, me too!"
…
Ling Yun didn't expect that this wedding, which he thought was an ordinary wedding, would be so rare in the eyes of others. It would also arouse the determination of people in villages all over the country to send their children to school. It was really unexpected!
This majestic wedding allowed people to see the financial resources of the Ling family, and also let others know the friendship between Ling Juren and the sisters.
It is not difficult for them to imagine that if Ling Ju is kind to their sister, if they suffer any injustice in their husband's family, they may not let it go!
But even thinking about it, no one would dare to bully the second young lady of the Ling family with just these dowries.
This was the case in ancient times. The more dowry a woman prepared, usually the higher her status would be after marrying a man. Therefore, the trend of "marrying richly" was once popular in ancient times.
For example, in the Song Dynasty, Su Che, Su Shi's younger brother, married his daughter. In order to raise money for the dowry, he sold a piece of good land.
After this wedding, there was a famous saying spread throughout the country: When you have a son, you should be like Ling Juren, and when you are a sister, you should be like Ling Jingyu.
The scene shifts to Gu'an Village.
It was said that Gu Zhenghao was getting married, and the villagers of Gu'an Village were not idle either. They stepped forward one after another to help this group of people.
When Gu Zhenghao led a wedding team of more than a dozen people to the Ling family in Guangping Village, what he didn't expect was that when more than a dozen people from their village arrived at the bride's house, there were not enough people to drive the carriage, let alone carry the sedan chair.
Yes.
After finally bringing the bride home, she found that the Gu family's house could not hold the bride's dowry. It was really embarrassing, so she had no choice but to temporarily leave the dowry in a neighbor's house.
The villagers of Gu'an Village never expected that Gu Zhenghao, a virgin who had lived for thousands of years, could actually marry the second young lady of the Ling family, who was the sister of the Juren Master. The dowry alone was enough to make them salivate.
Many of them were beating their chests and feet, thinking that if they hadn't married their wives too early, would it have fallen on them to be the brother-in-law of the master's family?
After all, looking left and right, up and down, I still can't see what the advantages of this guy Gu Zhenghao are.
They hate it!
Jealousy envy hate ah!
Some time ago, I was often ridiculed that I couldn't get a wife, but I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
This kid Gu Zhenghao is really... lucky.
The dim red and pink new house is covered with various embroidered red silks and satins, red words "Happiness" on the windows, and a double-layered tent made of red gauze. This double-layered tent is a kind of soft decoration, and the tent is
There are sachets hung at the four corners, emitting a light fragrance.
The red quilt cover on the bed is inlaid with red mandarin ducks, and it is actually spread with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, which means "having a precious child early", and it is actually spread out in a circle of heart shapes.
In addition, there are two candles on the table in the wedding room, as well as a wine cup and two wine glasses.
Gu Zhenghao's hands were shaking slightly and he hesitated, looking at the bride sitting on the bed.
He suddenly felt a little flustered and timid... Finally, he mustered up the courage, slowly stepped forward, picked up the hijab on the bride's head, actually picked up the veil, and put it on the edge of the bed
.
A burst of powdery fragrance hit his nose. He raised his eyes and glanced at the bride secretly, his heart beating fast.
On the wedding night, the newlyweds share a glass of wine!
In the Ling Family Courtyard, Liang and Yang were sitting in the hall, looking at each other.
Yang said thoughtfully, "Mother, how could Silang buy such a large dowry? The total amount is probably more than two hundred taels. This... this is too wasteful."
"After starting this, there are three children and five children below. How much does it cost? This child is not married yet! How can he be so generous to his sister?"
After hearing these words, Mrs. Liang fell into deep thought. She knew that her grandson was good to her sisters and had always been so good since he was a child. But Mrs. Yang was right. It was just the dowry of the second baby, not to mention that it would scare outsiders.
, even the Ling family themselves were shocked.
Ms. Liang is over fifty years old. Over the years, she has never seen such a grand wedding, and besides, it is still an ordinary wedding.
Whose family in a hundred miles radius could have such a generous dowry for their daughter?
No.
Even if it's Anzhou Prefecture, a wealthy family, no matter how big it is in Shanda, I'm afraid it can only be like this!
It’s incredible when you think about it!
Marrying a daughter in the Ling family is more grand than marrying a wife in other families. Not only does it make others envious, but even the Liang family is envious of it. Who would not want such a grand occasion to happen to them?
With this dowry alone, the second half of her life can be predicted, and she will have enough food and clothing, and her husband's family will not dare to have any dislike or complaint against her, otherwise, if word spreads, it will attract criticism.
Ms. Liang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "That's right! I've lived my whole life, old lady, but I didn't expect that such a grand wedding would happen in my own home. It's really eye-opening!"
"As for the matter of the third and fifth children you mentioned, we don't need to worry about it. The grandson will take care of it. I'm sure he won't be any worse than the second child."
