Xie Yushu was relieved that no one was watching, and she didn't want to be watched, let alone steal the limelight at Xie Tianlin's wedding. For this reason, she deliberately wore a lavender, inconspicuous double-breasted gown.
However, she has an outstanding temperament, her skin is like cream, and her lively eyes can still make people look at her at a glance when she stands in a crowd. Many people praise Mrs. Lu when they see her.
"Xie's family or sister-in-law will give birth. Look at the children in your family, they are really outstanding. The ones in our family are half as good as your children, and I am secretly happy!"
There is also a way
"Just talk about the future of other people's children, and don't look at how fair the Xie family's sister-in-law is. She works the same in the fields. Look at her, she is still fairer than us (Shai three times), what a mother and what a child!"
"You Yushu, oh no, you are the country king now. I think our country king is a promising child since he was a child. He is filial and hard-working. You see, you should do what I said!"
"Fuck you, hindsight!"
"What I said is true!"
The remaining women chatted and laughed for a while. Some of them felt that they were pretty good with Mr. Lu and had the courage to say a few words to Xie Yushu, even talking about the country gentleman.
Xie Yushu was a little helpless. She pretended to be cold in front of outsiders in order to reduce trouble. This auntie who usually got along well with Mr. Lu was so stiff, which made her a little embarrassed. Ms. Lu also felt awkward, but she didn't say anything. .
Xie Yushu saw that they were really restrained and said
"Aunts and aunts, don't be restrained. You can do whatever you want before. Yesterday, we were all outsiders. Those rules were for outsiders to listen to. You can just stay with us the same as before!"
The aunts and ladies relaxed a little now and asked Xie Yushu about growing medicinal materials.
Xie Tianlin's wedding reception was also very smooth. Liujia Village is only two villages away from Xiejia Village. Twelve or three miles away, the news that Xie Yushu became the village monarch has long been spread. Originally, Liu Laosan was still joking about his daughter. Married into a family with a divorced aunt.
Now that I know that my daughter has become Xiang Jun's sister-in-law, I am so envious that I hate myself for not having such foresight. I wish I had promised my daughter to Xie Tianlin!
However, although they were not promised to Xie Tianlin, there are still two boys in the Xie family who are not married!
Moreover, these two have errands to do!
The daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law of Xiejiacun became the masters of Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianming. Some of the bolder daughters even ogle and stuffed handkerchiefs into Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianming, making them so embarrassed that they almost escaped halfway.
Xie Tianlin's father-in-law was also happy from ear to ear. He had the foresight to choose a good husband for his daughter. Looking at the pomp and circumstance, there was no one in the ten miles and eight villages who could marry better than his daughter.
Although the threshold of the Xie family has suddenly become higher, Xie Tianlin and the others are all responsible people, and as the old saying goes, you should raise your head when marrying a daughter, and lower your head when marrying a wife. When a daughter who has been raised by someone for more than ten years is married away by the family, they still have to have the proper attitude.
Because of Xie Yushu's sudden title of village lord, Xie Tianlin's betrothal gift should be longer to look good. However, the betrothal gifts were all spent, so Xie Yushu gave Xie Tianlin another five taels of silver and asked him to give it to his father-in-law as drinking money. The face of both families.
Sure enough, as soon as Xie Tianlin paid for the drink, a group of people around him gasped.
"Five taels of silver for drinking!
Hey! When Liu Laosan marries a girl, he will spend his whole life drinking money!
Liu San and his wife were even more happy from ear to ear.
Liu Qiaomei also felt warm in her heart.
So Xie Baoshu and Mr. Wang took advantage of the atmosphere to say a bunch of good things, praising their parents for their good tutoring, and praising their daughter for being beautiful, hard-working and smart.
After praising the in-laws to such an extent that they couldn't find anything to say, Xie Tianlin and Qiao Mei were allowed to kowtow to the father-in-law and mother-in-law together, then pick up their daughter-in-law and go home.
At home, Xie Baotian and Liu Qiang started to set off firecrackers when they heard the sound of gongs and drums. At this time, firecrackers were not as developed as in later generations. The firecrackers only had one ring, and the whips only had about 200 rings. The sound was not loud, but the atmosphere was Yes.
Two hanging whips and sixty firecrackers.
When the team to pick up the bride approached, the old and young men from the village came to help. The old and young men eating at the banquet started to order one by one. After the jingling, Xie Baoshu drove the donkey cart to the door. Xie Tianlin helped the bride down. After entering the courtyard and worshiping the bride, the bride is sent back to her new house, where Xie Yumin and Chu Jinyu accompany her to sit at the wedding ceremony.
At the same time, everyone also started to eat.
Xie Tianlin and the other men greeted the newlyweds and guests, while Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang ate with the bride.
After a long day of busy work, the last wave of helpful guests were finally sent away, and the Xie family closed the door and began to recognize relatives!
There is no such custom of serving morning tea in the village. During dinner in the evening, everyone gathered together. Xie Tianlin introduced Liu Qiaomei one by one. Liu Qiaomei called people and gave each person a meeting gift.
The gifts given to Mrs. Lu were a pair of cotton shoes and a hat, the gifts given to Mr. and Mrs. Xie Baotian were a gown, and the others were given a pair of shoes, with flat and fine tips and thick soles, which showed that they were made with care.
Xie Yushu thanked the others one after another, and she also brought out gifts. Xie Tianlin's was a tea set, Xie Tianqi was a pair of bile bottles, and Xie Yushu was four sets of pillowcases and quilts. But she made another fortune, so she added two more royal gifts. brocade.
The others were okay. Although Liu Qiaomei thought it was valuable, she accepted it. She didn't dare to take the brocade given by the emperor. Oh my god, it was a reward from the emperor. Her heart was pounding just thinking about it!
Xie Yushu said
"It's okay, sister-in-law. Other jewelry and other items have the mark of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I can't just give them away, but this material is still fine!"
Liu Qiaomei was also a real person and refused.
"Even if the emperor doesn't blame me, we ordinary people can't bear to wear such fine materials!
My little sister is a capable person. If you don’t have enough protection, you’ll have to go out to see the world. You’d better keep it and wear it yourself! "
"Since you also say that I am capable, I will earn more in the future. You can put these two away and make two sets of clothes for my brother and you two later. If there is any leftover, I will make it for your future children!
It's not just you two, everyone in the family has it.
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, she asked Nanxing to bring eight more horses.
The Lu family has a piece of gray-brown woven satin, the Xie Baotian couple has one piece each, one made of lake blue and the other black brocade material, the Xie Baoshu couple each has one piece and one couple is made of gray brocade material, and Xie Yumin has one piece with pink flowers. Xie Tianming and Xie Tianqi each have a navy blue horse.
When everyone heard that the material could be collected, they were happy and carefully wrapped it up, and even touched it reluctantly, for fear that their rough hands would scratch the satin.
Mr. Lu said while looking at it curiously for a while.
"This is a gift from the emperor! You can wear whatever you want and pass it on to your family. We have several sets of newly made clothes, but we don't want to give up on this one!"
After saying that, she ignored Xie Yushu's advice to use them when they needed to. If there was any more, she locked the ingredients in the cabinet.
Others naturally followed suit and put their own ingredients together.
Xie Yujiao didn't care. Since there would be more good things in the future, they would naturally be willing to use them.
