In the early morning, the calls of several magpies woke up the dawn, and then the rooster crowed at the top of his voice not to be outdone.
With the sound of roosters, the morning has also arrived in Xiahe Village. Zhu Ping'an had gotten up early, and Li Shu was washing and dressing up under the service of the little maid Baozi. Today is the day to accompany Li Shu back home.
In Shanghe Village, Zhu Pingan is about to leave for the capital.
The return home is also called Guining. The daughter and her son-in-law go back to their parents' home to pay respects to their relatives. Usually they return home three days after the wedding. It is commonly known as "returning home for three dynasties". This is the last ceremony of the wedding. In ancient times, girls did not go out twice.
Mai, getting married is the first time that they have been away from their parents for such a long time. Returning home is to console them for missing their family and not to forget the kindness of their parents in raising them.
However, there is another saying that in ancient times, brides were basically virgins, and the groom was a hot-tempered young man who did not know how to cherish fragrance and cherish jade. He would inevitably enjoy it after eating marrow and knowing its taste. The bride lost her virginity on New Year's Eve, which was more painful. The bride's natal family
People are worried that the bride can't bear it, so they take her back to her parents' home to heal her wounds in the name of returning home.
My mother, Mrs. Chen, had prepared the homecoming ceremony early. The homecoming ceremony should be in even numbers. My mother, Mrs. Chen, had prepared wine, tea cakes, geese and sheep fruits, and a lot of delicacies and game, all of which were the first two.
Tianzhu's father and eldest brother went into the mountains to harvest it.
Three carriages were prepared and parked outside the new house. The first carriage was a gorgeous carriage with the word "Zhu" embroidered on it. It was for Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu; the one following closely behind was a little more plain.
The last carriage was for the old woman and the accompanying girls; the last carriage was for the door ceremony.
"When you go to Shu'er's house, you need to speak calmly, look at your eyes a little longer, and there should be something interesting in your eyes. Don't just sit down when you enter the house. See what kind of work there is, even if it's serving tea or pouring water, you have to be active..."
Mother Chen gave Zhu Ping'an instructions over and over again at the carriage table, fearing that Zhu Ping'an would not perform well and leave a bad impression on his father-in-law's family.
"Remember, mother." Zhu Ping'an rubbed his forehead. His mother had been telling her since early in the morning, and he could recite it by heart.
"Be sweet with your mouth, be diligent with your hands, and take more care of Shu'er at Shu'er's house." Mother Chen took the trouble to remind her again.
"Remember it, mother."
Zhu Pingan nodded vigorously.
"mother"
Li Shu walked over surrounded by the old lady Yatou. As soon as she went out, she greeted her mother Chen. She walked two quick steps past the old lady Yatou and came to her mother Chen.
Li Shu looks a little more like a married woman. Her pink cloud-smoked sweater is embroidered with elegant plum blossoms, her skirt is a meandering moonflower dress, and the corners of her skirt are embroidered with light blue butterflies that are about to take flight. Three thousand blue silk threads form a bride.
She wore a bun with a jasper inlaid pearl in her hair. She applied a little pink and light make-up. Her pretty face was white and pink, and she seemed to be able to squeeze out water, just like petals moistened by rain.
"Shu'er is so handsome, this silly boy Shu'er is so lucky." Mother Chen was extremely satisfied with the daughter-in-law she chose.
"Mother..." Li Shu lowered her head slightly shyly upon hearing this, her cheeks flushed, and she spoke in a longer voice.
Why am I stupid? Is this my biological child? Why do I feel that in the eyes of my mother, Mrs. Chen, Li Shu’s farts smell better than my biological son... Zhu Ping’an touched his nose speechlessly.
"Okay, it's getting late. You two, hurry up and get in the car. Don't keep your in-laws waiting. Go back and thank your in-laws for me. It was thanks to my in-laws that they found you last time at sea." Mother Chen joked with a smile.
He said something and asked them to say hello to Mr. Li's house and express his gratitude when they came back.
Xiahe Village is next to Shanghe Village, which is only ten minutes away. After crossing the bridge, you will arrive at Shanghe Village.
On the carriage, Zhu Pingan thought a lot about what Rich Man Li said when she met Li Shu's father, and what her brother said when she met Li Shu. However, when she really faced it, Zhu Pingan realized that she was still the same.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Li Shu's house in Shanghe Village, I heard a burst of firecrackers.
"Shu'er is back."
Even the crackling sound of firecrackers could not cover up the sound of joy, which was very clear.
The voice was very familiar, and Zhu Pingan immediately recognized the voice of Rich Man Li.
"Dad, Shu'er is here."
When Li Shu in the carriage heard the sound, her pretty face was full of joy. Before the carriage stopped, the girl jumped out of the carriage with joy.
When getting on the carriage, there was a girl carrying a stool for Li Shu to step on, but she immediately jumped off... What should I do if I fall...
Opening the curtain, Zhu Ping'an saw Li Shu holding up her skirt and running towards the rich man, like a baby swallow returning to its nest. Looking at it, he felt a little bit sad for no reason, but he
I didn't notice it myself.
As usual, Rich Man Li was dressed like a nouveau riche, with a watermelon hat on his round head, a large gold ring on each hand, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist. It looked like he was worth a lot of money.
As soon as he saw the carriage coming back, Rich Man Li was extremely excited.
Seeing Li Shu jump out of the carriage, Rich Man Li was extremely nervous. As he ran forward, he shouted loudly, "Slow down, slow down Shu'er, don't throw my little ancestor."
Then he shouted with a straight face to the young lady who was following him, "How do you take care of the young lady?"
The little maid Baozi lowered her head and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. The other girls and the old ladies followed Li Shu angrily, fearing that they would make the master angry if they could not take good care of the young lady.
"Daddy"
Li Shu held up the hem of her skirt and trotted up to Rich Man Li. Her pretty face was red and she called out in a coquettish tone.
"Shu'er, how are you living there? Is there anyone bullying you? Don't be afraid. Daddy will make the decision for you. Are you still used to living there? Daddy asked Xiu Niang to make a copy of the things in your boudoir. Let's make a copy of it some other time.
I'll send them to you down the river. Dad brought back two cooks from the south. They cook delicious southern food and are good at pastries. I'll send them to you some other day."
After hearing Li Shu's words "Daddy", Rich Man Li's eyes became wet, as if he could shed tears just by looking at them. He sniffed hard before he controlled his emotions and asked with concern, wishing he could give away the good things at home.
Let Li Shu move it all.
"It's okay, my daughter is okay. Daddy is so kind." Li Shu took Rich Man Li's hand and shook it, prolonging the ending.
"You are tired from riding in the car. Come home quickly. Daddy asked the chef to prepare a large table of your favorite dishes." Rich Man Li nodded lovingly and smiled lovingly. His expression was not to mention how loving he was, and his tone was not to mention how gentle.
It's just like when I was a child, Li Shu was pampered to the point of being pampered to the heavens.
Zhu Ping'an watched from behind, thinking this in his heart, and then waited for Rich Man Li and Li Shu to finish interacting, then stepped forward to greet him, "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."
However
Zhu Ping'an could never forget the way Rich Man Li looked at him. How can I put it, how loving and gentle Rich Man Li looked at Li Shu just now, but now how dissatisfied he was when he looked at him.
One is summer
One is severe winter
The way Rich Man Li looked at him was as if he were looking at a trafficker who kidnapped his daughter, as if he was very careful about his sins. His eyes were simply cruel. (~^~)
