At the dinner table of Lao Wang's family, Mr. Wang took out a letter and waved it to his family several times.
As the head of the family, when this letter arrived, he immediately went to the village scholar to read it twice to make sure he understood the contents.
"What?"
The Queen Mother was still serving rice when she heard this and stopped.
"Brother has a letter, let me see it."
Wang Daniu stood up and stretched out his hand to reach for it. He had recently grown up like crazy and had grown a lot taller.
"Ahem, don't make trouble."
Father Wang showed his majesty as the head of the family, "Xiao Fu'er said that he would go home to celebrate the New Year this year."
This is a good thing!
The whole family is smiling and celebrating the New Year together, which is rare.
What's more, this year's Spring Festival is very different from usual.
"By the way, let the boss finish the wedding wine and go back."
Queen Mother brought rice and placed them one by one in front of Father Wang and Wang Daniu.
That's right, Wang Daniu was going to get married years ago, and I planned to write to Wang Fu about this in a few days.
As it happened, just as I was thinking about writing a letter, Wang Fu's letter arrived home.
"yes!"
The two old men were looking forward to it. After all, in the past year, Lao Wang's family had been living a prosperous life, and they had even gained a relationship with the county magistrate. No one in the neighborhood dared to bully them.
The village chief, the government servants who went to the countryside to collect taxes, these big shots who were usually arrogant, were all polite in front of the two elders.
They call the old couple "old lady" and "old lady".
According to what the Queen Mother asked Uncle Hu, who delivered the food, their Wang Fu did a good job in the Taoist temple and was even a good friend of the county magistrate.
Lao Wang's family has never produced such a promising person in more than ten lifetimes.
Father Wang also often regrets that if his eldest son had not become a monk, he would have given birth to a grandson at this time.
His eyes fell on Wang Daniu, this skinny monkey, all he could think about was eating and fighting. Even if he got a wife, he would still have to wait a year or two to have a grandson.
"Daniu, listen carefully, we spent a lot of money to get you a wife this time."
"Although the woman is a widow, she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, not a few years older than you."
Wang Daniu, who was in his early ten years, nodded confusedly.
If Wang Fu had been present, he would have shouted to stop it. This is taking a child bride, an evil old society.
"The bride's family brought ten acres of land, two hundred kilograms of millet, five bolts each of fine and coarse cloth, and a complete set of headgear and jewelry as a dowry. The family is extremely well off."
"The matchmaker has also seen me. She is really a fairy-like beauty. She is a lady. She speaks kindly and matches you. What do you call a flower stuck in cow dung?"
Wang Daniu rolled his eyes.
Father Wang said with emotion, "The witness invited for you is also a big shot with good reputation. Have you ever heard of Magistrate Lu of this county? He is a high official."
Wang Daniu's eyes widened, "County magistrate?"
The county magistrate is an elusive and important person to the family.
Father Wang saw his son's surprised look and felt proud. He had no hope at first and asked someone to report it to the county magistrate. Unexpectedly, Magistrate Lu readily agreed.
It seems that the relationship between the eldest son and the county magistrate is going well!
Thinking of this, Father Wang decided to wait for Wang Fu to come back and take him to tell him carefully not to offend the county magistrate after returning to the Taoist temple, and everyone should be good friends.
"When getting married, relatives and matchmakers are indispensable."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother quickly said, "I forgot to tell you that the matchmaker who proposed marriage to our family fell seriously ill and died."
"What?"
Father Wang was stunned. On the days when they were about to get married, the matchmaker died. Wouldn't this bring bad luck?
"But don't worry, the matchmaker also has a cousin who is also in this profession, let her take over."
The Queen Mother explained that she was just a matchmaker and could not delay her son's marriage.
"good."
Father Wang's expression softened slightly.
"Anyway, during this period, you stay at home and are not allowed to go out crazy."
"The tailor will come to your house tomorrow and sew you a bright red dress, shoes and hats for your wedding."
When Wang Daniu thought about not being able to go out to play, he was heartbroken.
Everyone had their own thoughts on this meal.
It was a happy event for Father Wang, and Lingding got very drunk, but Queen Mother helped him back to the room with a look of disgust on his face.
He was so drunk that he was still muttering, "Why are you dead?"
…
The blue-brick and tile-roofed houses were lit up as brightly by red lanterns as daylight, and there were noisy voices inviting people to drink and eat food everywhere.
Passers-by could tell at a glance that this house was holding an event and a couple was getting married.
The parents and elders of the host family are entertaining relatives and friends to eat and drink, while the kitchen workers are shuttled between the tables carrying steaming dishes.
What about the newlyweds?
In the bridal chamber, which is decorated with red and colorful decorations, there is red everywhere. The tables and chairs are painted with red paint, the walls are covered with red paper, there are red candles on the table, and the quilt on the bed is also bright red.
The groom is a simple and honest young man. He sits nervously on the edge of the bed, peeking at the bride next to him from time to time.
The official hat he wore on his head and his gauze wings trembled slightly, it was obvious that he was very excited inside.
The bride is sitting upright with her slender hands folded on her knees. Her nails are painted blood red with petal oil, and her fingers are as long and white as white onions.
Just from a pair of jade hands, you can tell that the bride is a beautiful person.
Unfortunately, her appearance is covered by a hijab.
"Lady."
Listening to the noise outside, the groom couldn't help but say, "It's getting late, it's time to rest."
Phew!
Under the hijab, the bride laughed so hard, "Mr. sir, look at how anxious you are!"
This sound of "brother-in-law" is so delicate and charming that it goes deep into the bones and makes the bridegroom's soul fly to heaven.
"According to the rules, you haven't had a wedding yet?"
All the words in the groom's mind were about lifting the hijab, seeing the bride's face, hugging her and getting into the red quilt. After hearing the words, he nodded repeatedly, "Call them all in, let's have a bridal chamber, and let's take a rest after the bridal chamber."
"This is what you said, sir."
The bride stood up slowly and waved outside, "Let's begin."
The noise outside the bridal chamber suddenly stopped.
The groom was so lustful that he didn't notice anything unusual and just stared at the door and window of the bridal chamber.
"Then we won't be polite!"
flutter!
The wooden door and window were smashed on the spot, and a black shadow rushed in, turned into a ferocious grimace, and penetrated into the groom's forehead.
In the bridal chamber, there were sounds of biting, chewing and swallowing.
"ah!"
After a while!
The bride, wearing a bright red wedding dress and embroidered shoes, walked out of the bridal chamber and came to the originally lively banquet room.
There is no one left alive.
At the empty banquet, there were broken limbs and broken arms in the dishes, mixed with a few dead heads, which were the hosts and guests.
"Ghost bride, ghost bride, this family has finished eating, this family has finished eating."
"Look at the soul seduction book, whose house is next?"
"We are hungry and want to go to a banquet."
There is a dark wind all around, and I don't know how many evil spirits are hiding there.
The bride, still wearing a red hijab, took out a book with white paper and red letters from her arms.
Turning to the last page of the booklet, it was written clearly, ‘Wang Family, Bridegroom Wang Daniu’.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The ghosts laughed wildly, then rolled over the messy table and swept away all the leftovers.
"Let's go to the banquet and have a good time!"
Looking further out, this area was filled with black light, and it turned out that it had long been shrouded in a ghost realm.
