Another month has passed and it is the White Dew solar term on August 20th.
It is the day when the banker holds a happy event.
Early in the morning, Chef Liu from the town arrived. He took his apprentices to help, and the large group of people pushed four carts, which were all piled full of goods. One of the carts even had
A freshly slaughtered fat pig!
Every villager I met would not be envious of him.
It’s just to recruit a son-in-law, why are you so willing to spend money!
Everyone in this village knows very well what kind of life the banker, an orphan and a widower, lived half a year ago. At that time, he had to go out to borrow food even to drink thick porridge, but now it's better, and he doesn't know how to leave.
What kind of luck, I came up with a tofu recipe. How long has passed now, I can actually make a running water mat for a happy event, and I even hired a chef from the town!
This is strange!
Who in the village saw it?
This is something I have never heard of! I saw it all at this banker!
But the villagers obviously didn't expect that there would be more new things that would make them grin from ear to ear.
When the cook came to the banker's house, he greeted the owner and didn't occupy the kitchen. He just built the stove directly in the courtyard. A pot as big as three basins was placed on it. The apprentice below lit the firewood and started cooking.
First boil a pot of water.
The vegetable cutting table next to it was set up without any trouble. The two young apprentices worked together to unload the whole pig from the cart and carried it to the table. The cook used the knife to cut the pig neatly.
The different parts are piled together, waiting to be used later.
There were also five chickens and five ducks on the cart, which were all cut into pieces by the apprentice.
Although it was still early for the wedding, the sound of chopping meat attracted the surrounding neighbors to rush over. Without Qin Manzhi's greeting, they all went into the yard to watch the excitement.
"Good guy, I've grown up so big, but I've never seen this kind of meat!"
Someone's eyes almost popped out when they saw the pots of meat on the side of the stove, "This, these are all for us to eat on the flowing table later?!"
"Then there is still a holiday. Didn't I buy them all to entertain everyone? I'm so happy!"
Li Guihua brought out a flat carrot with a smile on her face. It was full of peanuts, red dates and melon seeds. It didn't matter who it was, she would let people grab a handful when they saw it and eat it first.
She was asked by Qin Manzhi to help her early in the morning, and she had been busy for a while.
The neighbors were cracking melon seeds in their mouths and peeling peanuts in their hands. Some of them had children at home and wanted to touch some jujubes and go back to sweeten their mouths.
Even if you are a bit jealous and jealous, you will shut up your gossiping mouth at this time and keep spouting auspicious words one by one.
"I just think the girl is capable. Now she is married. I think life will be better in the future."
"That's because since I was a child, I have always seen this girl as smart and intelligent, and she is somewhat different from other children."
This is all lies with open eyes. In the past, everyone who did not think that the banker was poor always said that the banker's girl was a bean sprout with a small butt. She looked like her mother, who had difficulty in giving birth.
Qin Manzhi was dressing her daughter in the house.
She heard the excitement outside and looked at her daughter in a red wedding dress, and her heart was filled with joy.
In the past, she was worried that when her daughter gets married, her family will not be able to provide any dowry, and her tired daughter will suffer. But now that she has a son-in-law, he is a well-educated and good boy, and they will be able to see her daughter all the time when they live together. How can she be dissatisfied?
"Mom, I'm afraid there are a lot of people outside. It's not the time to welcome the bride yet."
Patting her daughter's hand, Qin Manzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, your Aunt Li is greeting you outside. When the time is approaching, I will ask the Zhang family boy to run over and prepare for departure."
In fact, all of this was arranged by Zhuang Keqing before, but Qin Manzhi knew that no matter how capable her daughter was, she was only a teenage girl. When she got married, her parents had made arrangements, but they were nervous and ignorant, let alone her.
"Um."
Speaking of which, Zhuang Keqing was really a little nervous.
In two lifetimes, this is the first time I'm getting married. Although I had planned everything well before, I was still a little nervous when it came to the end.
There was an endless stream of villagers outside eating snacks and watching the fun. They added peanuts and melon seeds to the osmanthus and bellflowers countless times. On the other side, the village chief's house was also surrounded by people.
"Hey, there's a horse tied up in this yard!"
The door to the courtyard of the village chief's house was bolted. The man lying on the wall got closer and took a quick look at a strong horse in the courtyard. The horse's body was decorated with red cloth and it looked beaming with joy.
"Really? Will the groom be riding a horse then?"
"It looks like it is, hey hey hey. People are here."
The people at the back couldn't squeeze in, so they could only yell and let the people in front talk to them.
The village chief and his family are also busy.
A few days ago, Zhuang Keqing sent wedding cakes, rice and wheat, as well as live geese, chickens and ducks, all of which were prepared for Shen Ling to take over on the day of the wedding.
Even the village chief's wife thinks that this girl from the banker is kind. Even if she is looking for a son-in-law, she would like to make the man look good, and she is a caring person.
"Brother Ling, although I am an outsider, I still have to say something." Seeing that Shen Ling was already dressed, Mrs. Lin pulled him aside and said, "This marriage is all managed by girls inside and outside."
, I think the arrangements are very well done.”
She paused, "She has you in her heart, so don't let her down."
In fact, what Lin said was a bit excessive. After all, she had no biological relationship with Shen Ling, but she knew that this child did not have such a temperament. After spending so much time together, she knew very well.
Shen Ling lowered his eyelashes and nodded.
He understood how much thought and energy Zhuang Keqing put into organizing this marriage. In fact, for him, he was willing to do it even if it meant nothing.
"The auspicious time has come, groom, it's time to set off."
shouted the deacon officiating the wedding ceremony outside.
"Good boy, let's go."
Mrs. Lin opened the door, and Shen Ling walked out. Everyone saw a young man in a red gown vigorously getting on his horse. He was riding on the horse, his back straight, his posture indescribably handsome, and his whole body exuded...
An outstanding temperament.
Not to mention the villagers, even the well-informed deacons praised him repeatedly.
How is this a marriage between ordinary farmers?
The groom's demeanor is even better than that of the sons of wealthy families in the town.
The village chief's eldest son opened the courtyard door.
The deacon was in the front, Shen Ling was in the middle, followed by several carts, which were piled with things that had been prepared in advance. Although there was no liveliness with drums, music, and music along the way, it was still very eye-catching.
Many villagers dragged their families and followed directly behind them, heading towards the banker.
The servants sent by the Shen family were standing in the distance. Seeing that the pedestrian was almost there, they turned around and ran towards the Shen family mansion.
