"Tangyazi, has it stopped snowing outside?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang said: "It's been falling all night, and it's still falling, but the momentum is not as strong."
Yang Ruoqing yawned and said, "Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, which is a good thing for farmers."
"But for Xiaojie who is getting married now, as well as the Sun family and Zhang family, it is a bit depressing."
Luo Fengtang was holding a pair of her shoe mats in her hands, squatting beside the charcoal fire plate to bake them.
Hearing this, he said towards the bed: "Yes, not to mention anything else, it is a bit inconvenient to have a banquet, and you have to build a shed above your head."
"It's a little inconvenient for the person serving the dishes, but the date has been decided in advance, and it's unlucky to change it temporarily. Let's just leave it as it is. It's better than a violent storm!"
Yang Ruoqing laughed: "That's true. If it snows, let it snow. Overcome all difficulties and marry Xiaojie to the Zhang family. This is the only time in your life! I'm getting up!"
Everyone came to the Sun family in the morning. At this time, most of the relatives and friends of the Sun family had arrived. The adults and children were not affected at all by the weather. Everyone was busy working in full swing.
"Qing'er, you guys came just in time. Xiaojie is dressing up over there. She is about to cry and get married!"
Mrs. Sun came from the side and said excitedly to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'll go there right away."
There were two taels of silver in her purse, which she prepared for Xiao Jie to add makeup.
Of course, these two taels of silver were not included in the previous gifts. This was calculated separately.
"Qing'er, then you go to Xiaojie's place first, and I'll go find my uncle and father-in-law." Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded and asked Luo Baobao: "Who are you going with?"
Luo Baobao said: "My mother and I went to see Auntie Xiaojie cry to get married."
Chen'er said: "Then I'll follow dad and see if there's anyone who needs my help!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and touched Chen'er's head and said, "Good, my son is really sensible, then you can go with your father."
In Xiaojie's house, when Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao arrived, the women and children who came to watch the crying wedding were blocking the door.
Luo Baobao immediately let go of Yang Ruoqing's hand and took advantage of her petite figure to squeeze in.
In the boudoir, the three girls Xiangxiang, Mianmian, Xiuxiu, Huahua and other young ladies were all there. Luo Baobao immediately joined their camp as soon as they arrived, and they gathered together to look at Xiaojie who was putting on her bridal makeup in front of the dressing table with curiosity. , discussing excitedly, jiji za za.
The women were also saying auspicious words, and waves of women from relatives came forward to give them gifts.
Yang Ruoqing also came over to give her makeup and looked at Xiaojie for a few times.
Xiaojie had already opened her face, and the layer of fluff on her face had been swept away by thin threads. The hard-boiled egg had its shell peeled off, and was held in the hand of Quanfu, who was dressing up, and was poured onto Xiaojie's face. Rolling gently.
Xiaojie usually has a dark complexion, but today she put on makeup and dressed up carefully, making her whole person look bright and lively.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but praise: "The eighteenth-year-old girl is really a beautiful bride. Zhang Ban is blessed."
Xiaojie smiled shyly.
Yang Ruoqing stepped aside and stood in the crowd with a smile, watching Xiaojie continue to dress up.
When someone came outside to report, the team coming from the Zhang family to welcome the bride had entered the yard, and a banquet was about to begin in the front yard.
In the boudoir in the backyard, they also quickly sped up.
Quanfu firmly inserted the last red velvet flower into Xiaojie's bun, and then helped Xiaojie sit down in the middle of the room between the large sieve filled with raw rice, red dates, and longan.
"Let little Jie Niang come over and howl!"
Some people booed in the crowd of women, and soon, Mrs. Sun, who was wearing brand new clothes, was surrounded by people and entered the house.
"What are you doing dragging me here? I won't cry!"
The eldest Sun was still a little embarrassed, and she was pushed to the sieve uneasily.
Xiaojie just raised her head to look at Da Sun. The eyes of mother and daughter collided, and they seemed a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Jie Niang, you can just say a few words and cry a few times!" Another woman in the crowd was booing.
Da Sun said: "Why are you crying? This girl doesn't worry about it. It's better if she gets married. Once she gets married, I won't worry about it. It's not too late for me to be happy!"
"Yes, yes, I also look forward to getting married early, so that I don't have to listen to your nagging every day." Xiaojie said not to be outdone.
The women in the room laughed.
Mrs. Sun also laughed and stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "You two, mother and daughter, really have the same temper and say the same thing. How come you still say such things today!"
Bao Suyun also said with a smile: "They are all smart, but in their hearts, they must be reluctant to part with it!"
"No, I'm willing to give it up. I'm willing to give it up the most. When my daughter is raised, she just wants to get married!" Mrs. Sun still said stubbornly.
Xiaojie also raised the corner of her mouth and smiled while sitting in the big sieve. The atmosphere was very good and she didn't feel like crying at all.
"This aunt and Xiaojie are really different from other people. They don't cry. Getting married is not fun if you don't cry!"
Xiaoduo said, standing next to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Xiaoduo and said, "Don't worry, the time has not come yet, and you will naturally cry later."
Sure enough, when someone came in front and said that the banquet was almost done, and the men who were seeing off and welcoming the bride were already loading the dowry on the sleigh, Mrs. Sun, who was sitting there chatting and laughing with the women around him, suddenly paused. , the smile on his face is also a bit far-fetched.
Quanfu picked up a big red wedding handkerchief and started singing. He was going to give Xiaojie a wedding handkerchief!
When the wedding veil was covered and opened again, it was at her husband's house, so Quanfu said to Xiaojie: "Bride, please take another look at your mother's family. You are still a girl from the Sun family. Wait until next time." I see you are the Zhang family’s wife!”
The women also pushed the eldest son forward, but the eldest son was still a little nervous.
He said: "Oh, there is no need to be so pretentious. The town is not far away. I can come back to my parents' home whenever I want..."
In this case, there was nothing more for Quanfu to say, so he took the time and waved the red hikerchief a few times to cover Xiaojie's face.
Xiaojie was sitting in the sieve, and she could still hear the voices of the people around her, but she could only see her hands on her thighs and her toes through Xipa's hem.
Mrs. Sun wiped her tears there.
Xiaohua quickly held Sun's shoulders and persuaded her softly.
Mrs. Sun said: "I'm fine, I'm just crying happy tears. If only your grandma were here, it would be great to see Xiaojie getting married right now!"
Xiaohua smiled bitterly, yes, it would be great if Ga Po was here, such a loving old man.
Yang Ruoqing almost shed tears because she thought of the scene when Mrs. Sun cried when she got married...
If Ga Po was still here, she would probably have started crying. Crying to get married requires an atmosphere. When everyone is laughing, you can't cry.
When someone cries, your eye sockets will feel hot and your nose will feel sour...
"It's almost time, it's time for the bride to leave!"
Someone shouted again from the front yard, and this time, Lao Suntou, Xiao Jie's father, Yang Huazhong, and Dajie all came over.
I'm really leaving.
The women in the house quickly moved to both sides of the house to make way for a path in the middle, and a red blanket was spread all the way to the entrance of the courtyard.
