"Tangyaozi, what you said... seems to make sense." Yang Ruoqing tilted her head, as if thinking, and murmured.
"Your father, don't blame yourself. My daughter has grown up and is sensible. She wants to do something for you personally. This really makes us happy." Luo Fengtang continued.
"However, you are a mother, and you have done more for her. Didn't you never tell her?"
"Oh, I am her mother, she was born to me, and whatever I do for her is of course natural, how can I still take credit for it!"
"That's right. You have done so many things for her silently. My daughter didn't understand it when she was little, but now she has grown up and understands it. She also wants to do something for you. So, you can accept it with peace of mind. My daughter sees it. It will also make you happy in your eyes.”
Although this principle is correct, Yang Ruoqing secretly kept one of the chestnuts at home before sending them to make chestnut cakes and sugar-fried chestnuts.
She wrapped it in layers of silk handkerchiefs and put it in her purse. There were also spices in her purse, which she carried close to her body.
…
Wang Hongtao went to the Zheng family in the town again and brought Yang Yongqing's Geng Tie. After the two parties made an exchange, they gave the Zheng family three wedding dates selected by the old Yang family.
They are the 26th of September, the 18th of October, and the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month after the Double Ninth Festival.
"The Zheng family said that September 26th is a good day. October is the month when Ms. Zheng's uncle died, so she had to avoid it. And the twelfth lunar month was too busy, so they chose September 26th to marry the girl."
Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong were shocked when they heard the results Wang Hongtao brought back.
After being shocked, everyone became excited again.
"I'm sure there will be a happy event for our old Yang family in half a month. Okay, okay!" Old Yang said repeatedly.
Yang Huazhong said: "It's good, but the furniture hasn't been finished yet. I just finished a set of tables and chairs."
Old Yangtou said: "Then recruit more craftsmen and speed up the process!"
Yang Huazhong nodded, "Yongzhi is a good guy here. I'll ask him later if he can spare some time to help with the furniture first."
"By the way, third child," Old Yangtou suddenly thought of his other hand, "When is the marriage between Xiao An and the girl from the He family?"
When asked about this, Yang Huazhong and Sun both had happy smiles on their faces.
Yang Huazhong said: "Because of the special circumstances of the He family, we are getting married twice, so their marriage is a new thing and a new thing."
Mrs. Sun nodded in agreement, "Yes, new things to do."
Old Yangtou deliberately pulled a face, "What about a new method? Last time I asked Xiao An, he just mentioned a few words casually. I don't know if he was afraid that I wouldn't understand, or because he was afraid that I would say something he didn't like to hear. That guy answered very perfunctorily!"
Yang Huazhong and Sun both laughed. Yang Huazhong waved his hand and said, "That boy is just like that. Unless you discuss swords and clubs with him, I can talk to you for three days and three nights."
"As for other things, even if we asked him, he would just hesitate and hesitate. Three sticks can't make a sound!"
Yang Huazhong said this, and Sun nodded his head incessantly, with gentle helplessness in his brows and eyes.
"He is perfunctory, but you are not perfunctory, then you should talk to me carefully." Lao Yangtou asked again, and at the end he would add: "I am an average person in my work, so I don't want you to say that I only care about you later." Yongqing’s marriage, ignore the grandson’s marriage!”
Yang Huazhong then cleared his throat, straightened out his thoughts, and told Old Yangtou the arrangements for Xiao An's marriage: "In the twelfth lunar month, we will hold a banquet at our house first and invite relatives and friends here. Busy and lively.”
"As for Lian'er, just come here by yourself, without bringing any dowry. We'll prepare the wedding room here."
"You don't bring a dowry? Does that mean you don't also give a betrothal gift?" Old Yangtou looked suspicious.
Yang Huazhong nodded: "Yes, I won't give it away or take it with me."
"Then the woman won't come over to send Uncle Lang to a banquet?" Old Yangtou asked again.
Yang Huazhong shook his head, "It doesn't belong to marriage."
The old man frowned, obviously not satisfied with this part.
"Then what's next? What to do when we get back home?" he asked again.
Yang Huazhong then continued: "When I return from Sanchao, I will hold a few banquets at the woman's side to entertain the relatives and friends there. At our house, we will let Qing'er and Tang Yazi come over. trip."
Old Yang remained silent, seeming to take a long time to digest this new way of getting married.
Yang Huazhong and Sun exchanged secret glances. Sun's eyes were a little uneasy, for fear that the old man would be unhappy.
Yang Huazhong gave Sun a "don't worry" look. Regardless of whether the old man was happy or not, Xiao An was their son. The couple agreed to Xiao An's marriage, so they would naturally withstand the pressure from the old man.
…
on the road.
The horse ran neither slowly nor fast.
"There are fireworks ahead."
Luo Xingchen looked around and saw clouds of smoke rising in the sky in the distance.
"drive."
Shi Yiyun urged the horse, and the black horse stepped on its four white hooves and sped up.
This horse is a good horse with excellent quality. When it exerts its strength, the speed is astonishingly fast. It doesn't take long for Luo Xingchen to see through the obstacles and clearly see the smoke ahead.
It was a village with buildings, and there were fires everywhere, and the smoke was caused by the burning flames.
As the black horse approached the village, a strange smell rushed into Luo Xingchen's nose.
His expression changed drastically, and he took a closer look. In the small square in front of the village, there were corpses everywhere, including those of men, women, old people and even children...
A hellish sight!
This was not the first time Luo Xingchen saw a human body.
When he was in the small fishing village near Linze City, he had seen the corpses of people fished out of the river. Although they were also very gruesome, they had far less impact than the corpses in front of him who had been killed not long ago.
Even though he was a citizen of the Liao Kingdom, when he saw the naked body of the woman and the beheaded body of the child, a surge of anger filled his mind.
"Who did this?" Luo Xingchen's voice was hoarse under the extreme anger.
"Who else could it be? The bloody clothes must have been stolen." Shi Yiyun squinted her eyes, her face was still indifferent, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still twitched after all.
"The blood-robed thieves are just a bunch of beasts, how could they do this?" Luo Xingchen said through gritted teeth.
In his view, as long as you are human, you must have empathy.
Humans are constantly killing and poking, but that is on the battlefield, and slaughtering these unarmed people outside, even three-year-old children, this behavior can no longer be called human, it is simply worse than animals.
Animals kill to satisfy their appetite. Generally, they will not take action again after they are full. However, some humans are indeed more cruel than animals.
