This marriage was far-reaching, and it was He who was the sister of Xiang's natal sister-in-law.
Today, my son and daughter are coming to look after the house, so it is only appropriate for Mr. He to bring them along.
The Wang family came here today. In addition to the person involved, Wang Xiuyun, there were also her father, mother, uncle, aunt, two cousins and sister-in-law. In total, there was a huge group of people who came in two ox carts. It was very lively to watch.
When a woman comes to look after the house, she doesn’t mind the crowds. She just wants to keep things lively, and she wants to show the man clearly. I have a large family, and you won’t be able to bully your daughter when she gets married. So, you have to be nice to our daughter, or else her parents will
They're all coming to kill you, and you can't stand it.
These are all rules, so on days like this, no matter how many people come from the woman’s side, the man’s family will not say much and will happily entertain them.
Of course, there is usually a sense of propriety, and the seven aunts and eight aunts will not go to the groom's house to collect everything. There are too many people, and the groom's family will have trouble preparing meals.
Marriage is about two people with good surnames, not a fight, it just works out if they are similar.
Like the two pairs of uncles and aunts in the Wang family, and the two pairs of brothers and sisters-in-law, they are just right, no more, no less, so that the man can see the manpower on the woman's side.
Mrs. Xiang took off her apron and walked out from the kitchen room. Together with Yuan Cheng, she followed Mr. Yuan Shuanzi and Mr. Meng, beckoning everyone in the Wang family to go into the main room.
People rushed into the main room, and it was filled to the brim in no time. Fortunately, there were enough benches, so two people could sit on one bench and three people could sit on one bench, so it was just right for people to squeeze in.
The two braziers were burning brightly, and the room was very warm.
Old Meng smiled and warmly greeted the Wang family to eat fruits and melon seeds.
Mr. He did the work and introduced introducers to each of the two families. This one belonged to so-and-so Daping, and that one belonged to so-and-so Xiuyun, so that everyone would recognize their faces.
Then it's time to have some fun and show off some personal issues, which can bring the relationship closer.
Song Qiu was sitting next to the door, watching the people in the room talking lively, and found it very interesting. He secretly glanced at the girl from the Wang family. Although her skin was darker, her big eyes were lively and she looked at her.
He is a cheerful person. He knows how to handle things and is generally easy to get along with.
Well, it’s not bad for my eldest cousin to marry such a cousin.
When the adults were talking, a little girl like her couldn't get in the middle of the conversation. She didn't even look at the two main parties, who just sat there and listened quietly.
Song Qiu listened to the family chatter for a long time. He didn't say anything serious. He sat at the door and had some fresh air, so he simply sneaked out of the main room and went to the stove room.
Mrs. Xiang was not in the kitchen, and the only two leaders left were Mrs. Chen and Mr. Xiang's sister-in-law, who were busy working.
Everyone has arrived, and it's almost dinner time. It's time to set the table and start the meal.
Song Qiu verbally directed Chen to cook the boiled fish.
Yuan Hua and Yuan Erping set up tables and benches in a hurry. There were so many people that the main room couldn't fit them all, but it was cold and we couldn't eat in the yard, so we packed up the one on the east side yesterday and used it to build Yuan Daping's new house.
The room is large inside and can fit two tables perfectly.
There is only one table left, and my family will put it in the stove room, so it doesn't matter.
After the table was set, the two sisters Yuan Meimei quickly placed the dishes and chopsticks. If there were not so many bowls and chopsticks at home, they borrowed them from the neighbors next door.
Then it's time to serve.
It would not stain his clothes even if he served the dishes, so Song Qiu Ma quickly helped him take out the dishes from the kitchen room.
Today, the Yuan family's meals are spread out in a very generous manner. Each table is filled with a large basin of boiled fish, a large basin of radish stewed with braised pork, a large basin of stewed chicken with dried mushrooms, and several large bowls of home-cooked side dishes.
, the ingredients are abundant, and the oil is not skimped on. It looks like it can be served on the table.
This banquet for entertaining guests is outstanding no matter where it is compared.
Therefore, when the Wang family came to the table and looked at the dishes, they couldn't help but be satisfied.
Especially the royal father and the queen mother, who met each other that day, only looked at Xiang and Yuan Daping nearby, and thought they were nice people. Today, I looked after the family, and I saw that although the Yuan family has a large population, Yuan Daping only has three brothers, and the sisters-in-law live a good life.
, but it looks harmonious.
I also saw the Yuan family’s mix of blue brick and adobe houses, but they were kept clean and bright, and it looked like a good home suitable for living.
Looking at the dishes, they are so well prepared, and the faces of the Yuan family are sincere and not ostentatious at all, which proves that the Yuan family can handle this kind of banquet.
The Yuan family is said to be living a prosperous life, which is absolutely correct.
They can feel relieved now that their daughter is married.
After finishing the meal, the Wang family were very satisfied, and they also felt the enthusiasm of the Yuan family.
After dinner, when they sat back together in the main room to relax, He was pulled by the Queen Mother to whisper a few words before, but now he acted on that and started to talk about the wedding date between the two families.
Both sides were intentional, everything was done naturally, and there was no cliché at all.
Finally, they decided on a good day after the autumn harvest next year. The betrothal gift would be according to the rules of eight villages in Shili. The Wang family only raised five taels of betrothal money, indicating that it would be passed on to Wang Xiuyun as a dowry at that time.
The life of the Wang family was not difficult. The king's father and queen mother loved this capable eldest daughter. If they said she wanted to give her to her as a dowry, of course she couldn't lie.
The host and guest had a great time, and after agreeing on the marriage, the Wang family was about to say goodbye and leave.
On the Yuan family's side, the red seal that had been prepared long ago was handed over to the Queen Mother, who would then pass it on to the people who are visiting the house today.
This is also a custom and rule. When the woman comes to look after the house, both parties are satisfied and overjoyed. The man wants to give a red seal to the woman's housekeeper.
The red seal does not need to be thick. As a general rule, an even number of two, four, and six coins means it is auspicious.
Including Wang Xiuyun, who came to the house for the first time, Xiang took her hand affectionately and gave her a red envelope, which showed that the man was satisfied with the girl.
Of course, the red envelope given to Wang Xiuyun is more generous than those red envelopes.
The woman left, it was getting late, Song Qiu and the others had to say goodbye and go home.
The Yuan family sent them out, and Song Qiu drove a mule cart to go with the Hu family's ox cart.
We left Yanghuai Village all the way and headed towards Panshi Town.
On this section of the same road, in order to facilitate more conversation, Hu Yuan came up on a mule cart.
As Song Qiu was driving the car, she could hear her grandmother and aunt talking lively inside.
Let’s talk about here for a while, and where for a while,
As he talked, the topic of her marriage came up out of nowhere.
I heard Mrs. Hu Yuan lower her voice and say, "Sister, if you want to recruit someone, you have to keep your eyes open. Don't recruit all the messy ones. You'll be hard-pressed to guard against them! These days, we have a lot of people on our end too."
When people came to me to talk about this, I rejected them all.
You said you let the news out, and you have to get it right as soon as possible, otherwise, many people will be worried about you! If you want to say that I..."
Crackling, chirping, gurgling, a series without stopping.
Hearing this, Song Qiu was speechless.
Fortunately, Songshan River arrived quickly, and Mrs. Hu Yuan got back on her oxcart to go home. Otherwise, Song Qiu's ears would have been buzzing after listening to the music all the way.
