The next morning, Lu Ziyuan and Lian Guanlang got up early and prepared to go to town early to buy things for tomorrow's banquet. The well at home would be completed today, so they asked Jiang Rong to look after it.
Lu Banxia and Lu He, who were going to school, were also sitting on the bullock cart. It was probably because it was hot last night and neither of them had a good rest. Sitting on the bullock cart, they both held their chins and fell asleep. They also knew that the bullock cart
They were almost out of Hexi Village when they heard the sound of suona and the crackle of firecrackers coming from outside. Then they suddenly woke up and started looking outside.
"Sister! There is a bride, look, it's on the oxcart!" Lu Banxia suddenly lost all sleepiness and waved towards Lu He and Lu Ziyuan.
"Let me point you to the position and I'll take a look!" Lu He also became interested, and he and Lu Banxia lay on the window of the ox cart and watched. When the ox cart with the bride in it approached the Lu family's ox cart, the two of them
Clapping hands excitedly.
"Sister Wan, Brother Guan Lang, you go to town!" The driver of the ox cart is the uncle driving the cattle in Hexi Village. Because Lu Ziyuan and his family were his regular customers in the past, he and the Lu family can be considered
It's quite familiar, and I greet people when I see them.
"Yes, I have a banquet tomorrow and I have to go to town to do some shopping. Uncle, remember to come and have fun tomorrow!" Lu Ziyuan responded with a smile, "Uncle, hurry up. We don't have anything urgent, so we won't be with the bride.
The groom's official is rushing to get out of the way, so as not to delay the auspicious moment of the couple."
Because the road was small, it would be difficult for two ox carts to pass together, so Lu Ziyuan asked Da Zhuang to stop the ox cart to let the newcomers pass first. Lu Ziwan didn't know if it was a habit in other places. In short,
People in Nanwang Town are particularly taboo about competing with newlyweds.
There is a custom in Nanwang Town. If two groups of newlyweds meet at the corner, the groomsmen of both groups will come down and give each other some money to congratulate each other. If they happen to take the same road and that road is not big enough,
If the two teams of newcomers cannot be allowed to walk side by side, then the two teams of newcomers will compete for the way. Everyone says that the newcomers who go first will be blessed, while the newcomers behind will have their blessings bumped into each other.
If an ordinary person meets a new person, then the ordinary person must let the new person pass first. But if a dead person meets a new person, then the new person must let the dead person pass first. To flattery here, the dead person is the greatest, and no one can delay death.
The time for the deceased to rest in peace is to avoid delaying the reincarnation time of the deceased and turning into evil ghosts to stay in the world.
When Lu Ziwan first heard about this custom, she thought it was quite interesting. Therefore, although she and the groom were strangers to each other, they were from the same village, so she took the initiative to get out of the way.
"Thank you, sister Ziwan!" The groom thanked Lu Ziwan on the ox cart, but his words really frightened Lu Ziwan and Lian Guanlang.
The title "sister" is generally only used between brothers and sisters. If other men call a woman who is not a brother-sister relationship this way, he will be regarded as a frivolous and libertine.
"Sister Ziyuan doesn't recognize me? Our grandfathers are brothers. My grandfather is your grandfather's brother. Speaking of which, we are also relatives!" When the bridegroom official saw Lian Guanlang and Lu Ziyuan, they looked strange and explained quickly.
"Hey, the relationship between your family and Sister Wan's family was broken off by Sister Wan's grandfather. How can Sister Wan still remember you?" The uncle who drove the cattle smiled and continued his words with the intention of explaining to Sister Wan,
However, I didn't expect that the groom was deliberately trying to get closer because of their relationship with each other, and he was immediately rolled his eyes.
