On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Luo family decorated it with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a red carpet was laid from the road at the entrance of the courtyard to the entrance of the Luo family hall.
Not only were festive red heart knots hung on the big trees at the entrance to the yard and under the eaves of the house, but all kinds of flowers were placed from the entrance of the yard all the way into the main room, and the real flowers were decorated with brocades.
This made the relatives, friends at home and the guests who came to congratulate see this, and they couldn't help but have their eyes opened.
Ms. Liu even pestered Yang Ruoqing and kept asking: "Qing'er, those flowers are not of this solar term. They won't bloom for another month or two. Where did you get them?"
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "Fourth Aunt, aren't you the smartest one? Guess!"
Ms. Liu said: "No matter how smart my brain is, I can't guess it. I thought they were fake flowers at first, but then I pinched them quietly. Oh my god, they are real flowers!"
Yang Ruoqing was laughing at first, but when she heard this, she immediately frowned: "You can't pinch it, it's a real flower. If you pinch it, will you pay for it?"
"Qing'er, if I don't pinch you anymore, tell me quietly, where did you get these beautiful real flowers?"
"Bought with money."
"Where can I buy it?"
"There's one over there in Qing'an County. In the back garden of the richest businessman in the county, there's a greenhouse with flowers and plants from all four seasons. It's just more expensive."
"How expensive is it?"
Yang Ruoqing reported a number to Liu.
Ms. Liu clicked her tongue.
Then, she raised two fingers and lightly slapped her mouth, scolding herself: "Look at my mouth. Why do I have to ask? After asking, it hurts my self-esteem!"
Because the price of any flower placed here is too much for her to bear!
This is the gap between rich and poor, it is like a chasm, a chasm!
Yang Ruoqing ignored Ms. Liu's inner gap and said to Ms. Liu, "These flowers are just for the banquet today to decorate the scene."
"When it's all gone, I'll give it back to Aunt Four and Aunt Five, so you can all come and pick."
"Really Qing'er? Did you really give it to us?"
Ms. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up. The inferiority complex caused by the previous sense of disparity disappeared at this moment. Her eyes were filled with those flowers. They were so beautiful, both beautiful and fragrant. It was so nice to take them back and put them in the house!
"Fourth Aunt, how could I deceive you?" Yang Ruoqing said, "But when it comes to these flowers, I have to give you a difficult task..."
"Qing'er, you don't have to tell me, I know what you want me to do!"
"Then tell me."
"Hey, you definitely want me to help you keep an eye on these flowers, and don't let the children or some adults with weak hands steal or pinch them, right?"
Yang Ruoqing gave Liu a thumbs up, "Fourth Aunt is so smart, she guessed it right. I really arranged it like this!"
Mrs. Liu patted her chest and promised Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, please be at ease, I will take care of this!"
Then, she stopped chatting, turned around and ran happily to the entrance of the courtyard, staring at the flowers on both sides of the red carpet.
But you have to keep an eye on them, these flowers are theirs, they can't be destroyed by others.
At the same time, Mrs. Liu also told the other women and girls of Lao Yang's family about this matter.
Even the little girls like Big Niu Niu and Xiao Niu Niu, who are greedy for sex, have received instructions.
Not only will everyone not take the initiative to pinch the flowers, but they will also help and keep an eye on the flowers to prevent others from destroying them.
Because when the banquet is over, these flowers will belong to them, and they must be very concerned about their own things!
Yang Ruoqing watched all this silently and smiled silently.
This method is still effective. This is called not being able to afford it early without profit, and everyone is bribed.
It was almost morning, and it was estimated that the team welcoming the bride would be back soon.
Yang Ruoqing ran to the kitchen in the backyard and looked at the door of the front yard. Everyone was busy spinning around.
Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan, as well as Feng'er, Tiedan Hong'er, Kang Xiaozi and others all followed the wedding procession to the town.
Tuan Yuanyuan is the youngest in the wedding team. For them, this novelty is the first time in their lives and the most exciting one.
…
At around the same time, a pair of people came from the end of the road from the direction of Qingshui Town. Among the crowd was a particularly conspicuous red sedan.
Yang Ruoqing was happy and told everyone, and then everyone quickly lit the firecrackers.
The sound of firecrackers here is to remind the wedding team on the other side of the avenue, so as to tell them over there. If you see it at home, the speakers and suonas over there can be started simultaneously, and we can echo from beginning to end.
Sure enough, the horns and suonas on the other side of the welcoming team suddenly started playing.
Then a dragon and lion dance team was invited to the entrance of the Luo family's courtyard, and they also performed with gongs and drums.
Most of the men, women, and children in the village had come over to watch the fun. Now they heard a huge noise at the entrance of the village. The remaining half, except for those who were really sick or old and couldn't get out of bed, or who had difficulty moving, counted every one of them. Almost everyone came to watch the fun.
Not only the villagers in this village were like this, but the villagers in the ten miles and eight villages also rushed over to watch the excitement and feel happy after receiving the news.
In the final analysis, these are all secondary. The reason that really attracted them here was because the Luo family had already spread the word. The villagers who came to watch the excitement today were considered to be in support of anyone who said something auspicious. Two big red wedding eggs.
Some women brought several children over to watch the fun and say auspicious words. The women made more than ten wedding eggs alone, and the pockets of the children were stuffed full of candies and snacks.
These things are excellent supplies for the villagers with these family conditions in this era.
Moreover, the Luo family said that when new people come in, they will not only throw candies, peanuts, red dates, etc., but also coins mixed in with them.
Moreover, the Luo family also spread the news that two thousand copper coins were thrown away, and they were mixed into two big baskets, including sweets and candies.
How many coins you can pick up then depends on your hand speed and eye speed.
Therefore, when they heard that the newcomer was about to enter, everyone put down their work and gathered on the road at the entrance of Luo's courtyard. They all said auspicious words, rolled up their sleeves, geared up, and were eager to try.
"I'll pick up the copper coins later, you know? If we can get a few dozen coins together, we'll cook pork belly for you."
A woman called her children to her and gave them careful instructions.
"Mom, what if I can only pick up a dozen coins? Aren't you going to cook pork belly?"
"If you pick up more than ten Wen, my mother will give you dumplings with the stuffing exposed to eat, and steamed buns with the stuffing exposed to eat!"
