After Jiubian packed up and came out, he sat back in his original position. He looked down at his wedding clothes, and then reached out to touch the red silk. He felt weird and felt something was wrong in his heart.
He has always been sensitive to the prediction of danger. No matter what he was doing in the past, if he felt something was wrong, he would run away first. Otherwise, he would have died long ago if he had done so many deceptive things over the years.
Getting married was not what he wanted. He resisted in his heart and didn't want to think about what kind of life he would live after getting married. If it were anything else, he would have run away long ago when he felt a little bad.
But now, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to, so he had to bite the bullet.
Could it be that God thought he had tricked too many people, so he took revenge on him here and gave him a fatal blow? !
Thinking like this, he felt regret in his heart. If he had known that he had been kinder and a good person over the years, things like today might not have happened.
It's a pity that he has no one to express his sadness, so he can only keep it in his heart and sigh alone.
People who came to help from the yard arrived one after another, and those who had free time sat in the room talking and chatting, discussing the matter of picking up the bride for a while.
Since the distance was not far and Sun Xiang didn't have much time to worry about at the moment, he decided to arrange the wedding together. After the wedding ceremony in the afternoon, he went to pick up the bride and went straight in. There was no need to hang around outside waiting for an auspicious time.
Families of powerful people pay attention to the auspicious time to leave the palace, and also pay attention to the auspicious time to enter the husband's house. For this auspicious time, some people leave the door of their parents' house in the morning and can only enter the door of their husband's house when the sun sets. They can't stop on the way. Walking on various streets, the bridegroom, bride and bridegroom were miserable.
Most ordinary families only pay attention to an auspicious time to enter the husband's house. When the time is about the same, they set off to pick up the bride. When she comes back, she enters the house at the auspicious time and that's it.
Accompanying Jiubian to get married were the original guards of Jingpingyuan. There were eight people in total. They passed by in a row. They all had straight faces as if they were selfless. They didn't look like they were going to get married, but rather like they were members of the secret guard battalion who were ordered to kill people. .
Su Wan's mouth twitched, and finally decided to ignore it.
Forget it, as long as the bride is successfully taken over and the wedding is consummated, there is no need to worry about other details.
Not long after, people from the village came to congratulate them. Villagers rarely gave gifts in money. Most of them just picked something similar to what they had at home to eat. Some of them were a chicken, a duck, a fish, and some. Some cured meats, or some homemade preserved fruit wine.
When people from the village came to congratulate them one after another, and there were gradually more things in the room next to the kitchen, Su Wan came forward to help entertain the women from the village who came to congratulate them, and sat with them in the room, drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting. .
She has a gentle personality and is very patient. She can also talk a few words when everyone is talking about farming, and she can also talk a few words when talking about various gossips. Occasionally, she is also patient when people ask her about the Imperial City. Let’s talk to everyone.
Listening to her talk about interesting things about the Imperial City, such as palace banquets and flower viewing banquets in various prefectures, everyone listened with gusto and felt it was very magical.
The chatting time passed quickly, and soon it was noon. Su Wan asked Mrs. Gao to cook some red dates and white fungus soup and add a bowl to everyone present. Gao Niangzi made the snacks well and the soup was not bad either. The bowl of red dates and white fungus soup was praised by everyone present.
Xiaofu, a villager in Shiqiao Village, can't afford to eat red dates and white fungus, but the taste is just not the same if he makes it at home.
Su Wan said: "If you want to learn, wait until Mrs. Gao is free and let her teach you. It's not a big deal. Mr. Xu is very happy today, but it's a pity that there is no one in his family. Fortunately, you are here to make the fun happen."
People from the village came to congratulate her, but they didn't have any food or drinks, so they came to give some gifts and make the scene lively. When the bride came in, they finished watching the ceremony and went back with a gift in return.
For example, most farmers' families cannot afford to host too many banquets. When getting married, they usually invite the closest families. Setting up a few tables is enough, but after all, the tables are a little deserted, so they appear. To these guests who did not leave any food.
These guests are not formally invited guests. Anyone can come as long as they are willing to come. When the time comes, they can give a gift that they can afford, including one or two kilograms of grain and a few eggs.
Come over with the gifts and sit around, it's lively, wait for the bride to come in and watch the ceremony, then go home with the host's return gifts.
This behavior is also called Tianxi here.
Someone said: "What is this? Sister-in-law Six has notified us one by one before, asking us to come over to add some joy. I heard that Mr. Xu's return gift was a roast duck."
"No, I heard that there is also a pack of pine nut candies, a pack of red dates and grains, and a pack of cakes."
"It looks like we still made a profit."
"Besides, we're not eating all the time while we're sitting here."
In fact, the people in the village are not familiar with the newlyweds. They came to congratulate them this time just because they are from the same village and the generous return gifts. Now sitting here, I have something to eat and drink, and secondly, I can chat with Su Wan. Why wouldn't they do it.
Su Wan is an easy-going person. She is willing to talk to everyone she meets, and her attitude is gentle and friendly. Women in the village also want to have more contact with her, just by talking.
It's a pity that Su Wan doesn't like to go out very much on weekdays. Even if they want to talk to the princess, they can't find a chance. Now they have found a good opportunity.
"I heard that in reply to the letter, I want to marry the noble daughter of the Imperial Palace. Princess, do you know what the noble daughter of the Imperial Palace is like?"
Su Wan smiled and said, "I heard that he has an extremely kind personality."
"Let me tell you, this noble girl is really difficult to take care of. After all, she has a higher background than her mother-in-law. This mother-in-law has to bow her head in front of her. It would be a joy to meet someone as good-tempered as the princess. , If you meet someone with a bad temper, how can you live a good life?"
"No, a few days ago I heard the mother-in-law of the Song family complaining, saying that this time her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she went to help take care of her, but it turned out that she couldn't do this or that, and she had to follow her own rules. She became angry. came back."
"No, I heard that she got sick after she came back, saying she was pitiful."
Su Wan listened for a while and finally understood that these people were talking about Qu Lingzhu.
When Song Zhan and Qu Lingzhu got married, she had dealt with this Song family aunt and helped prepare the betrothal gift.
At that time, she saw that the aunt of the Song family was kind, and Qu Lingzhu was not unreasonable, so she thought that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would get along better in the future.
Moreover, Song Zhan and Qu Lingzhu were in the Imperial City, and the Song couple were in Guiyan City. They were far apart, and no one could hinder the other.
Why are the two of them at odds now?
