Early in the morning, Man Bao sat up from the bed. She changed her mind as she sat. Thinking that not only her sixth brother was getting married today, but also Ming Da and Chang Yu would come out to play with her, she immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
She took out the clothes she had found last night, put them on, and immediately went out to fetch water and wash herself.
Before her, her brothers and sisters-in-law had already woken up and started working.
The same goes for other servants in the house. Someone has sent ingredients, and they have to send the ingredients to the kitchen to prepare them.
In the front yard where guests are entertained, tables and chairs should also be placed, as well as fruit plates and snacks.
Holding wedding events in the capital is much more elegant than in the village. Even if Lao Zhoutou is reluctant to spend money and the Qian family is watching, even if it is for the sake of the children like Man Bao, he must follow the rules of the capital.
Not to mention Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian’s hints, it is said that Mr. Bai has already had the experience of organizing a happy event, and the old Zhou family also knows that they cannot follow the village’s routine.
Even Lao Zhoutou felt sorry for Qian and said: "The guests we invite are different, and the gifts they give are also different. We can't let people eat the village banquet, right?"
So this time, Wu Lang, like Mr. Bai, invited two cooks from outside to help at home.
In addition to the main dishes, some snacks are also indispensable at the banquet. Guests can't eat nothing while sitting and chatting, right?
Everyone got busy. After Man Bao washed up, he ran to the west courtyard to find Liu Lang, and saw that he had already put on his wedding clothes and was sitting nervously in the room.
Seeing Man Bao, he immediately waved, "Man Bao, come quickly."
Man Bao ran forward, looked at Liu Lang's face carefully and said, "Brother Liu, you are so handsome today."
Liu Lang lowered his head and smiled in embarrassment, and then whispered to her: "Xi Po is going to put powder on my face. I, I don't really want to put that on. I feel uncomfortable."
Man Bao carefully recalled the way Bai Dalang applied powder, and then said: "I think it looks pretty good, and it looks very white."
Liu Lang reached out and touched his face and said, "I'm not black now."
Also, I don't know whether it's because he often works in the kitchen or because of the ointment given by Man Bao, but Liu Lang is now much fairer than his brothers, and he looks not much worse than the best-looking fourth brother.
After all, the fourth brother is quite tanned now.
So Man Bao said: "If you don't want to apply it, don't apply it. The most important thing is to feel comfortable, but you can put some color on your lips to make them look better."
Saturday Lang:......
Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and others who came over to join in the fun were convinced. Seeing that he didn't want Xi Po to do anything, Bai Shan rolled up his sleeves and did it himself, "Here, I'll help you color it."
Liu Lang's eyes widened, "How could you do this?"
Bai Shandao: "I think my mother has used it, and it's the Manbao I taught her."
Liu Lang didn't expect the two of them to communicate on this kind of thing, and was speechless for a while.
After everyone had finished filling the bowl, everyone remembered one thing, "Oh, it seems I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
Everyone turned to look at Liulang's lips. They were speechless for a while, and their words were in vain...
Po Xi looked very happy on the side. She had applied make-up to so many newlyweds, but she felt that applying make-up to their family members was the most enjoyable.
Everyone had a noisy breakfast, and then sat together in the yard waiting for the auspicious time.
A group of teenagers sat in rows in the yard talking, surrounded by busy adults. They looked completely disengaged. Zhou Lixue watched and sighed, "I have seen so many uncles get married, but only the sixth uncle got married."
It’s the most relaxing time.”
Saturday Lang glanced at him and said, "It sounds like you did something big when your uncles got married."
"No, I have to do a lot," Zhou Lixue said: "I have to watch over the sugar cookies and snacks at home so that no one can take away too many of them. I also have to watch over the children who come to the house and don't let them get into them.
Very busy."
He looked at the servants walking past and said: "It's good now. You don't have to do anything, just join in the fun."
Even Zhou Lijun, who was in charge of the accounts, was not very busy, and was all taken over by Zhou Dalang and the Liangbai family. What surprised them was that even Bai Dalang brought his daughter-in-law Cheng, but they were very leisurely.
Man Bao had stolen half a day of free time, and sat and waited happily, but he only had so little free time.
There was a gong sound from the front, and Zhou Lang hurriedly came in from the front and said: "The sedan and the convoy are here to welcome the bride. Liu Lang, go out quickly."
So the young men cheered, surrounded Zhou Lang and went out.
The old Zhou family chose a tall, docile horse, tied a red cloth on its chest, and then helped Liu Lang sit on it.
Man Bao and others, also wearing festive new clothes, jumped on the horse and shouted: "I'm going to welcome the bride——"
The wedding team went banging all the way to the outer city. Mingda and Changyu, who had just left the palace and were strolling on the street, heard the sound of gongs and drums and turned around to see Manbao flying wildly.
The two of them were stunned, and immediately waved and shouted: "Manbao, Manbao——"
Man Bao heard this, nodded slightly to Bai Shan, pulled the horse aside, then ran to Ming Da and the others, directly rode on the horse and asked, "Are you out of the palace?"
Mingda looked at it curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Welcoming the bride."
Mingda immediately turned around and took over his horse from the guards, and said happily: "I want to go too."
Manbao led the two of them to catch up with the wedding team, and then jumped in front.
The princess's attendants looked on helplessly, and only two of them came forward to protect her, while the rest followed behind on horseback.
Everyone headed to the outer city in a mighty manner. The Qiu family's house was only one entrance into the outer city, but the courtyard was not small. At this time, it was also filled with relatives and friends of the Qiu family. Liu Lang and his family's welcoming team was not small, and they filled the alley immediately.
It's full of traffic.
They couldn't come up with any questions to embarrass Liu Lang, so Manbao and the others were busy handing out red envelopes. They were very cunning. Seeing that the person at the door was still reluctant to open the door, they simply grabbed a handful of red envelopes and stuffed them through the crack in the door.
He went in, but only a little was stuffed in, and more was spilled outside the door.
People inside the door could see that in order to get the red envelope, a slight crack was opened. As soon as the crack was opened, Bai Shan immediately stuffed the red envelope inside. The people inside immediately reached out to take it. Everyone started to grab it. Man Bao and Bai Shan
Erlang immediately pushed the door open and squeezed in.
This was the first time Mingda and Changyu had done something like this. Regardless of whether they understood it or not, they both screamed with excitement and pushed the door open together...
Everyone burst into the door laughing and joking, and seeing everyone spreading red envelopes to clear the way, Mingda looked around, and when he was happy, he took off all the jade tokens on his body and wanted to throw them out.
Bai Erlang happened to be squeezed over, and his sharp eyes caught him.
He looked at the jade token in his hand and was quite speechless. He stretched out his hand to hold Princess Mingda and said, "Don't throw this thing away. There is only one or two cents in this red envelope. Throw this jade token out..."
Bai Erlang couldn't find the right words to describe it, so he directly put the jade token into her hand and said: "You can't throw it away anyway."
