Jiang Changxi, the eldest girl from the third bedroom of the Jiang family in Baoding Mansion, was wearing a bright red wedding dress and sitting in a sedan chair. Her pretty face was full of tangles. She was fifteen years old and at the age of a junior high school student. She got married today.
People say that young people marry young, but in her case, young people marry young.
There was no coercion, no substitute marriage, three matchmakers, six betrothals, and eight sedans. Her marriage was a marriage between two surnames.
The Jiang family is a well-known big family in Baoding Prefecture. Unfortunately, in recent decades, the family has no more outstanding descendants and has fallen into decline.
Jiang Changxi's marriage was decided by his father when she was not born: the eldest son of Zhou Peng, the eldest son of Zhou family in Baoding Mansion.
When the two got engaged, Jiang Changxi's father and Zhou Lan's father were classmates in the same college.
Two little-known people had just gotten married and had a beautiful son and daughter, and they became in-laws.
Zhou Lan and his father Zhou Peng have been singing all the way since taking the exam and became a new rich man.
No one thought that the Zhou family would rise like this. No one can say for sure whether Zhou Lan will be outstanding in the future, but Zhou Lan's father is really capable, and he has already reached the fourth rank at the age of thirty.
Because of this marriage, Jiang Changxi's status has been extraordinary since she was born in the Jiang family. Everyone in the Jiang family knows that the eldest daughter of the third family will be rich in the future, and her father-in-law will have a bright future.
The dignified Jiang family of Baoding Prefecture also wanted to climb up the ranks of the nouveau riche and support their betrothed girl.
Let Jiang Changxi say, this is a fallen phoenix worse than a chicken.
Everyone in the Jiang family envied Jiang Changxi for having a good father with good eyesight. He chose a promising husband for his daughter from among a bunch of classmates.
Everything was fine at first, but as luck would have it, such a wealthy and promising husband suddenly disappeared three years ago.
After observing mourning for three years, the Zhou family asked for marriage, and the third wife of the Jiang family married the eldest daughter they had held in their hands for fifteen years without saying a word.
In the words of Jiang Heng, the father of the Jiang family: "My daughter, over the years, we have enjoyed the wealth brought by this marriage to the Zhou family. It's time for us to pay back the debt."
Jiang Changxi didn't want to be a treacherous villain, so the marriage was almost settled, so she nodded and got on the sedan chair.
But the problem is that she is a bit young. If a young lady of her age is treated as the eldest daughter-in-law, no one will take her seriously.
She is capable of running a family, but no one will believe her?
The other is Zhou Lan, the groom-to-be. After more than ten years of good life and fine life, his father suddenly disappeared. Due to the gap, the relationship between him and his family has been cold and warm. I still don’t know what he is like now.
These issues have to be considered. After all, Jiang Changxi, a never-married daughter-in-law, can feel the gap between her husband's presence and absence.
Zhou Lan, his biological son, must have felt the warmth and warmth of human kindness more profoundly.
If you are someone who can't handle the pressure, your temper may turn to the left. Chang Xi doesn't dare to think about it.
When the sedan chair arrived at Zhou's house, Jiang Changxi cheered up, straightened her hijab, and prepared to face her new life.
After enjoying this wealth, she has to endure this hardship. Besides, she is the grandma who is the head of the family when she gets married, so she can't really be said to endure hardship.
The sedan landed on the ground, the sedan door opened, and a hand stretched out. Jiang Changxi put his jade hand on it, and was held back by a slightly rich palm.
The palm of your hand has just the right temperature and is soft, making you very comfortable.
The only person who dares to hold the bride's hand like this is the husband-to-be Zhou Lan.
OK, the first face-to-face contact felt pretty good.
Stepping out of the sedan chair, amidst the noise of gongs and drums, Jiang Changxi heard the voice of a male duck in the period of voice change: "Don't be afraid, come with me."
A good start is half of a successful marriage. Jiang Changxi firmly held the other person's hand.
Then the hand was stuffed with red silk, haha, the handshake time was over.
A newlywed couple, who were just thirty years old together, entered the Zhou family's door with a red silk tie in the middle.
Weddings are tiring and chaotic. Zhou Lan sent the bride to the wedding house and said, "You should rest first."
I was greeted and left in a hurry.
Several of Jiang Changxi's girls arrived at Zhou's house a day earlier with their dowry, and they didn't know how to arrange them at this time.
The only one who came with me was the girl Dafu, who went out to familiarize herself with the surroundings, so the bride seemed lonely next to her.
Amidst the commotion, a group of people came in. They comforted the bride when she entered the door: "Chang Xi, I am your mother. Don't be afraid. You and Zhou Lan met once when we were babies."
If they've met each other, it's not considered a blind-mute marriage, right? Jiang Changxi teased herself like this.
He wanted to stand up and salute his mother-in-law, but he was forced to sit there and said, "Don't move, don't open your mouth, I'm sitting here. We don't have that many false etiquettes in our family."
The lady who came in together said in a strange tone: "Have we met or not, we still want to live together. Sister-in-law, please don't say these things."
Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that this person must have a mean face.
The other lady said in a non-compassionate tone: "Second madam, tell me what my sister should say to her daughter-in-law today."
Under the hijab, Jiang Changxi held her mother-in-law's hand and continued to sit in bed, determined not to speak, but she knew in her heart that life at home was indeed difficult.
Otherwise, in days like this, no one would refute the host’s face.
The future mother-in-law patted Jiang Changxi's hand: "The people who just spoke are your second aunt and your aunt, they are not outsiders."
The aunt beside me said cheerfully: "Girls from the Chang family in Baoding Prefecture, your etiquette will be the same. You are a newlywed and you are still receiving blessings. There is no need to speak."
It's a pity that the second wife was unhappy: "If you don't say hello and call someone, how can you say that you are being polite? Am I still an outsider in this house?"
Jiang Changxi is extremely talented, so he definitely can't speak today.
Let this bitch get so arrogant that you can't stand me as a girl from the Chang family in Baoding Mansion.
Zhou Lanniang pulled the two ladies and spoke softly: "Second brothers and sisters, today is a good day. This is the new house. Let's go out and talk."
After such a interruption, no one wanted to see the newlyweds.
A bunch of people are coming and going in a hurry.
There wasn't even a girl or woman left behind, which shows that the wedding was done in a hurry and the Zhou family was in chaos.
If I had a fourth-grade father-in-law, this would definitely not be the case.
Jiang Changxi lamented that human relationships are as thin as paper, and it would take a lot of effort for the young couple to stand up their family.
The girl Dafu opened the door and came in, walked to the bride's ear and said: "Girl, it's very lively outside the gate, but except for the old lady's uncle's family, there are not many serious relatives in the house. The servants in the house are all in a hurry,
I don’t know what I’m busy with, but I should be back soon.”
Jiang Changxi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Dafu: "This slave girl is going to see our uncle."
Our uncle said that his little brother and his eldest cousin came over to get married, and he should take care of it.
After sitting there for a long time, he was already full of blessings. Jiang Changxi was worried about his younger brother and ordered Dafu: "Don't make Chang Le cry. Send him home first, and then accompany me back when he comes back."
good."
Dafu quickly looked outside: "Miss, you can't speak easily. That's not allowed. Madam has told me that this servant cannot leave the lady's side."
Afraid that the young lady would speak randomly, Dafu immediately ran away: "I'll go see my uncle first."
Jiang Changxi sat stiffly for a long time. When the lights were turned on, no one came into the bridal chamber to take a look. She felt like a forgotten bride.
I don’t know if Chang Le has returned home.
I lifted up my hijab, put on my wedding clothes, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack in the window. There was a surprise.
