Yang Huazhong and Sun were in an extremely good mood. They were finally looking forward to their eldest son getting married. Not to mention inviting those fried snack vendors over, they were happy to let them set up a flowing banquet for three days.
At that moment, Yang Huazhong spoke up and said to Yang Huaming: "Fourth brother, please stop scolding the fourth brother and sister now. Don't say unpleasant words on this happy day."
On the other side, Ms. Sun also said to Ms. Liu: "Please, everyone please, definitely please, I also love those steamed buns!"
Mrs. Liu immediately gained the support of her third brother and three sister-in-law. She felt proud and proud, and she did not forget to raise her eyebrows proudly at Yang Huaming.
Yang Huaming glared at Mrs. Liu, after all, it was to give Yang Huazhong face. When everyone was discussing the details of the marriage, even when Mrs. Liu repeatedly interrupted during eating and drinking and made some comments that sounded petty, Yang Huaming endured it. Liu was not reprimanded in public.
Da'an's marriage was almost settled in the lively discussion among the elders, and then everyone divided the work.
…
"Father, mother, sister, I am going to the county town tomorrow. I estimate that I will have to stay in the county town for three days, and I will not be able to come home until three days later."
Daan came over and asked to resign.
Yang Huazhong was surprised, "Your wedding day will be in a few days, why do you still have to go to the county seat? It's only three days in the same district? What's going on?"
Da'an said: "That's right. When I came back last time, I actually came back with Brother Zichuan."
"Brother Zichuan was responsible for transporting disaster relief food to my hometown for distribution. Because I was thinking about my family, Brother Zichuan saw that I was eager to return home. After we escorted the food to Changhuaizhou together, Brother Zichuan sent me back first. , he escorted the grain behind."
"I received a letter today that the team he led to escort the disaster food will arrive in Wanghai County tonight. I wanted to go over and help him. It would be faster for the two of us to distribute the food together, which would also free up his time. Come back to the village as soon as possible to drink my wedding wine!"
Hearing Da'an's words, Yang Huazhong became excited.
Since last time, the man has received a notice from the chief of security, asking the villagers of each village to make a complete accounting of the village's accounts, because the imperial court has a disaster relief fund that is about to be released.
So the man has been doing this work for a while. After the list was completed and handed in, there was no movement from above.
Walking around the village these days, many villagers asked him about when the disaster food would arrive. The man was unsure and could only tell the truth that he was waiting for notification from above.
Now that the New Year is approaching, most families are waiting for the disaster food to arrive for the New Year, and anxiety is gradually permeating the village.
So when he heard the accurate news about Da'an, Yang Huazhong was very excited.
"Okay, okay, you go to the county town to help Zichuan. When you are done, we can come back to the village to have a banquet together. That kid Zichuan hasn't been back to the village for a long time!" Yang Huazhong said repeatedly.
On the side, Mrs. Sun was also very happy and asked Da'an: "Has your godmother come back? She hasn't returned to the village for almost two years since she was taken to the capital by Zichuan!"
Da'an's godmother is Mu Zichuan's mother, Widow Liu.
In order to cut off Mu Zichuan's thoughts about Yang Ruoqing, Widow Liu accepted Yang Ruoqing as her goddaughter.
In this way, Yang Ruoqing and Mu Zichuan became god brothers and sisters.
In this era, a godly marriage with a ceremony was a sign of incest to the gods of heaven and earth. If Mu Zichuan still had anything to do with Yang Ruoqing, it would be incest.
For a scholar like Mu Zichuan who is more interested in etiquette than etiquette, etiquette and rules are what he values the most.
Widow Liu saw exactly this.
And Yang Ruoqing is also willing to help Widow Liu. She has no feelings about Mu Zichuan at all, and she also hopes that the relationship between brother and sister will allow Mu Zichuan to live his own life.
Yang Ruoqing called Widow Liu her godmother, and naturally her two younger brothers, Da An and Xiao An, also called Widow Liu her godmother.
Hearing Sun's question, Da'an smiled and said, "My godmother is back too. My godmother also brought you a lot of local specialties from the capital."
Sun smiled and said, "She is interested..."
Here, Yang Ruoqing was thinking about another thing.
She asked Da'an: "Has your brother Zichuan gotten married in the capital?"
When asked about this, the smile on Daan's face faded a bit and he shook his head slightly.
Mrs. Sun was surprised: "Why haven't you gotten married yet? Zichuan is the same age as your brother-in-law, and he will be twenty-seven after the Chinese New Year."
From the corner of his eye, Daan secretly glanced at his sister who was a married woman next to him, and then quickly moved away.
Brother Zichuan is about to get married for the third time, but he is still single now. The reason for this is because of my sister!
Although Brother Zichuan never mentioned it outside or even showed it at all, Daan knew it.
Because on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, the two of them drank wine and chanted poems to the moon. Later, Brother Zichuan got drunk, hugging the wine jar, and called his sister's maiden name, Qing'er...
Da'an quickly came to his senses, and then said to Sun: "Twenty-seven years old is nothing to a talented man, not to mention that Brother Zichuan is both talented and beautiful, and has a bright future. Many famous ladies in the capital want to Marrying him is because he has too high a vision, saying that those people are just vulgar fans, so mom, don’t worry about Brother Zichuan."
Sun thought for a while and nodded: "That's true. As long as a man has money and power, he will still take a sixteen-year-old girl as a concubine at the age of sixty. What's more, Zichuan is so good that when the fate comes, he will naturally get married. "
Regarding the topic of Mu Zichuan's marriage between her mother and her brother, Yang Ruoqing just nodded in agreement.
Maybe it's true that fate hasn't arrived yet, and when it does, the iron trees will bloom.
"Da'an, take Xiaohua with you." Yang Ruoqing continued.
Da'an blushed when he heard that he was asked to take Xiaohua with him to the county town.
Xiaohua, who was clearing the table next to her, was a little embarrassed when she heard this.
But there was still a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
She declined: "Sister, I won't go. Da'an is doing business..."
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's just because I have to do something serious that you have to go. It's only been three days. Why don't you go and take care of his food and daily life!"
Xiaohua fell silent.
Then Yang Ruoqing said to Da'an: "You are about to get married. You take Xiaohua to the county seat. When you are free, take Xiaohua to get a pair of new clothes."
Daan also remained silent.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the young couple, was this all acquiescence?
Hey, they have similar personalities and speaking styles. They are such a perfect couple!
The matter was decided happily. In the afternoon of that day, Yang Huazhong sent out the good news, and the whole village was excited.
Early the next morning, Daan and Xiaohua set off, followed by a carriage. Four attendants disguised as carriage drivers escorted the young couple all the way to the county seat.
Da'an and the others were on the front foot, and guests came to Yang Huazhong's house on the back foot.
It was Zuo Junmo. Zuo Junmo came to give New Year's gifts to Yang Huazhong and his wife, as well as Blacksmith Luo and Tuoba Xian.
In previous years, both families were busy during the twelfth lunar month, and both Zuo Junmo and Yang Ruoqing would always send people over.
Then during the New Year's greetings in the first month, we can communicate in person.
I didn’t expect that Zuo Junmo would come here in person to give New Year’s gifts this year. Isn’t he busy in this twelfth lunar month?
