This time Xiaocao sat on the horse, Zhang Lingzhi was worried, for fear that she would fall off, but Xiaocao was quite courageous and had a great time.
Not to mention, it may be that children learn things quickly, or newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so Xiaocao is not so nervous, and the ride is easier and more stable anyway.
As soon as they arrived at Fengshu Village, they attracted the attention of many people. The villagers cast envious glances and whispered that the daughter of the old Zhang family had a promising career and that her days were getting better and better.
People in the village did not shy away from speaking, so Zhang Lingzhi could clearly hear their conversation, and his eyes became red as they walked.
"Her father, did you hear that my natal village will never look down on us again?" she whispered to Bai Tian.
Bai Tian quietly took his wife's hand and said, "I heard that you praised our family for their ability, and also praised you for being lucky, having given birth to a daughter who is equal to ten sons."
Bai Banxia couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, the original words clearly meant three sons. You can just double it. Ten is too exaggerated."
Zhang Lingzhi was also amused, and the emotions that had just arisen were forgotten, "Your father just wants to praise you."
"People also praise Xiaoyu for being promising at first sight, and praise Xiaocao for being smart and cute. All our children are outstanding, and we are both blessed," Bai Tian added.
Bai Shengyu and Xiao Cao both laughed a little embarrassedly when they were praised.
Zhang Lingzhi glanced at Qi Zhen and said with a smile: "There is also someone who praises Xiao Qi for his tallness. I guess he is our son-in-law."
"Her mother!" Bai Tian wanted to cover his forehead. His daughter-in-law is a bit stupid. How should she teach her?
Qi Zhen smiled and said nothing, looking very happy.
When the group arrived at Zhang's house, the Zhang family members came to welcome them, helping to fetch things and tie the horses. The yard was very lively.
Bai Shengyu came close to Qi Zhen and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qi, are you happy that others say you are the son-in-law of the Bai family?"
"What's wrong?" Qi Zhen did not deny it.
Bai Shengyu laughed, "But my father doesn't seem to be satisfied with you. He is a very good-tempered man. How did you offend him?"
"You are wrong. He just can't let go of his daughter. You will understand when you have a daughter in the future." Qi Zhen said earnestly.
Bai Shengyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "That seems to make sense."
Qi Zhen laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't abduct your sister."
In the yard, the second cousin has already got on the horse. He probably has always had an iceberg face and does not seem to be very scared. Xiaocao clapped his hands below and shouted, "Second cousin is so awesome!"
After giving it a try, the second cousin got off the horse and said, "It's better not to ride a horse tomorrow, otherwise what will happen after the wedding? Xiu'er has never ridden a horse, so she might be scared."
Bai Banxia screamed and cheered, "My second cousin feels sorry for my wife. I'm going to tell my second cousin later."
A red cloud flew over the second cousin's face, "If you speak louder, the next door will hear you."
There is a rule at this time. After welcoming the bride, the bride can no longer touch the ground with her feet after leaving her natal home. Those who are married farther away will be carried by the groom into a sedan or carriage or ox-cart. Those who are married closer, such as those in the village, will be carried by the groom.
go home.
When arriving at the door of the husband's house, three rice cakes wrapped in red paper will be placed on the ground. The bride will step on the three rice cakes to enter the door, which means that the future will be prosperous.
Then they have to step over the brazier, which means that the future will be prosperous, and then they will worship at the husband's house.
"Did second cousin promise to second cousin to carry her home?" Bai Banxia laughed.
Sure enough, the second cousin's face turned even redder in the next second. Hey, she really guessed it.
"Cousin, don't be proud. There will be a time when you get married, and then my second cousin will have to laugh at you." The second cousin said with a blushing face.
"Then you've got time to wait, and I'm so thick-skinned, how can I be shy?" Bai Banxia said proudly.
The second cousin also laughed, "This is the first time I've seen someone say that they are thick-skinned and they say it so confidently."
Bai Banxia chatted with her grandma and grandpa for a while, then took Xiaocao to see Luo Xiuer.
At this time, the rule was that the bride would visit the bride the day before the wedding to add makeup to the bride. Although Bai Banxia was from her husband's family, she knew Luo Xiuer, so she decided to go and see the excitement.
A lot of people gathered in the Luo family at this moment. Because the Zhang family gave a betrothal gift of twenty taels of silver, Luo Xiuer was the first to receive the gift from Maple Tree Village.
In addition, the Bai Banxia family brought Malay Maple Tree Village today, and the news also spread to the Luo family. Many people who came to congratulate her praised Luo Xiuer for her good fortune, and her husband's family valued her very much.
The Luo family was particularly enthusiastic about Bai Banxia. The old lady of the Luo family took her and chatted for a while before sending her and Xiaocao to the house where Luo Xiuer was to be married.
At this moment, there were two girls in the room. They looked very familiar with Luo Xiuer and were chatting happily. It turned out that they were both handkerchiefs from her.
"Banxia, you're here!" Luo Xiuer's eyes lit up when she saw her.
"Second cousin, I'm here to see you first and send a message to my second cousin. He misses you." Bai Banxia started joking when he saw that everyone was familiar with Luo Xiuer.
"Panxia, please stop teasing me." Luo Xiuer's face suddenly turned red, as white as a ripe apple, and her whole body exuded the smell of happiness.
Everyone giggled, Luo Xiuer waved to Xiaocao and gave her a handful of fried peanuts.
At this time, voices came from outside again, and someone came to add makeup.
"Xiu'er, Zhao Zhenzi and the others are here to add makeup to you!" Xiu'er's mother shouted from outside.
Luo Xiuer's face stiffened, and she didn't seem to welcome Zhao Zhenzi very much.
"It's the three of them again, they really dare to come." A girl next to her said dissatisfiedly.
Luo Xiuer hurriedly advised: "Everyone who comes is a guest, just don't hurt your harmony."
Bai Banxia wanted to ask them what they were celebrating, but someone had already opened the door curtain and rushed in.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they rushed in. Three girls from Maple Village came. They walked very fast and opened the door curtain quite loudly, making them look a bit menacing.
This posture doesn't look like it's just to add makeup, it's more like it's here to ruin the scene.
"Luo Xiu'er, let's put makeup on for you." The leading girl is quite tall, almost as tall as Pinellia ternata, but her frame is a bit bigger, her face is slightly wider, and her cheekbones are high, so she is not as tall as Pinellia ternata.
She is tall and handsome, and she looks even taller and stronger.
"Thank you, Zhenzi." Luo Xiuer stood up and blessed her.
There was a box on the kang in front of her, which contained gifts for the girls. Zhao Zhenzi poked her head in and looked at it, "Hey, what did you give me?"
It's just that her tone didn't mean to ask what was given, but more like: What kind of crap were given as a gift.
Now, no matter how good-tempered Luo Xiuer was, her expression was not so good, and she said: "It's all my sisters' wishes. I will treasure it well. I wonder what you want to give?"
The corners of Bai Banxia's mouth raised slightly. She was really afraid that her cousin-in-law would have a bad temper in the future, but now it seems that a good temper is a good temper, but not a soft bun that cannot stand up.
