At dawn, Xiumei and Tiantian came to dress Linglong.
Li Ning was guarding the door.
No matter what the people in the village are doing, his duty is to guard the princess.
————
Qingshan shaved himself, got dressed, and combed his hair. Then he took his little brothers and nephews and lined up at the gate of the yard.
——
Grandma Sun blocked the door and asked, "Who is coming?"
Qingshan shouted: "Linglong man!"
The boys and children cheered.
Granny Sun and her young daughters-in-law said disdainfully in the yard: "She will only recognize you as a man if you pass the customs!"
Qingshan patted his chest: "This is natural. Ye Qingshan is not afraid of tests! No matter how difficult it is!" Then he whispered: "It's almost the same. Don't scare my wife."
Grandma Sun nodded: "Up, up, up~!"
Tiantian rushed over first and shouted through the courtyard gate: "Sing a folk song to express your feelings!"
The young men outside collectively cleared their throats and sang loudly and loudly: "I am a good man~honest and caring~what a good lady in the house~can you marry me~I won't let you get hurt~no Let you be hungry and cold~ I won’t let you feel wronged~ I won’t let you suffer~ As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I will hold up the sky~ Let you be blessed and prosperous, I will let you be blessed and prosperous~”
After yelling six times, the daughters-in-law and girls in the courtyard curled their lips: "I say you are a good man, let's see if you are strong enough to hold up the sky!"
Qingshan nodded: "That's natural! Make sure you carry her on your back so that your feet don't touch the ground and your hands don't get cold."
Granny Sun opened the door: "Seeing that you are sincere and honest, I will give you a chance to beg and see if you like that good lady!"
Qingshan and others rushed in, arrived at the door of the house, and knocked gently: "I am Ye Qingshan, please answer Linglong, whether you like it or not."
Linglong was in the room with her little mouth pursed and her belly covered. She was dying of laughter. Dozens of people were singing like broken bellows. What were they singing~
Holding back his laughter, he said, "I like it! Come in."
Qingshan strode into the door, knelt down and looked at Linglong face to face.
Grandma Sun laughed loudly and said: "Since a good woman likes a good man, let him show his ability. The man must be strong.
If you don't have the ability, a good wife will take care of you. From now on, the wife will have the final say in this family. If you carry my wife on your back, you will never be able to drink enough of this gentle honey in your lifetime. "
Qingshan picked up Linglong and strode out of the room to the yard. He held Linglong with one hand and placed it on his right shoulder. He let Linglong sit on his shoulder. He held Linglong's waist with both hands and ran out quickly and smoothly. .
The children behind them ran wildly, "Carry it and run~ Carry it and run~ Carry it and run~ Carry it and run~"
The boys were jumping up and down excitedly and cheering, "Oh oh oh oh~~~~~"
The little wives and little girls also covered their faces with their hands and looked at Qingshan carrying Linglong through their fingers. Oh my god, it’s so amazing.
————
Qingshan walked quickly around the whole village, with Linglong on her shoulders. She was so frightened that she tilted her body and hugged his neck: "It's a bit wobbly when I run, I'm afraid of falling."
"Don't worry, I have two big hands, if you drop them, they will fall into my hands."
"Husband, why are you carrying me and running away?"
"It appears that I am in good health and can give you happiness."
"Grandma Sun said that my wife will carry you, and it's her who has the final say. Is there really a woman who can carry a man?"
Qingshan chuckled: "You have to ask Li Guyu about this."
Linglong was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Oh~~" The picture popped up in her mind crazily.
Qingshan ran back, put Linglong down, held her in his arms, and walked in front of everyone: "How is it?"
Grandma Sun led a group of wives and girls and nodded: "This man is sincere and in good health. If you get married, you can't go wrong. My dear wife, what do you think? Are you going to worship with this man?"
Linglong blushed in Qingshan's arms, covering the corners of her raised mouth with her wide soft sleeves, and nodded.
Everyone cheered and surrounded Qingshan, who carried Linglong to the open space in the center of the village where important events were held. Thirty-six tables had been set up, and the villagers took their seats one after another. The two of them went up to the large platform paved with stone bricks. There was a wooden top on it, with red paper inside that said heaven, earth, and high hall.
Linglong thought she was about to pay her respects.
I heard gongs and drums singing behind me.
"I'm not convinced about this marriage! I'm not convinced!"
A row of young men beat gongs and drums and shouted: "Everyone is attracted to such a good lady! If a good man wins the first place, the young men will retreat and retreat!"
Linglong's eyes widened, why would she want to steal a bride?
Qingshan smiled: "Come on!"
Granny Sun explained to Linglong: "Generally, you should choose something that the groom is good at and let him show it off. This can add interest to the wedding. It means that his wife has worked hard and fought hard to marry him, so she should cherish it even more. .”
Linglong smiled and watched the excitement. There were huge rocks in the middle of the field. Two young men came up and shouted slogans one, two, three, but did not move.
The young man waved, and two more people came up. The four of them shouted slogans, but they still didn't move.
The young man waved again. This time there were six people in total. The boulder only moved a little and did not leave the ground.
In the end, eight people lifted the boulder one foot off the ground and slowly lowered it. There were beads of sweat on the foreheads of the eight people. It was not just a show, but a real effort.
It was Qingshan's turn to play. He moved his muscles and arms, hugged the bottom of the boulder, and stood up slowly. His face turned slightly red, and it seemed that he had really exerted his strength. Seeing that the eight people worked hard to lift the one-foot-high boulder. , was lifted up by him.
The whole village cheered and cheered.
Qingshan slowly lowered the boulder to the ground, his face turned red and he didn't sweat.
The young men lined up and retreated while beating gongs and drums. As they retreated, they sang: "What a great man. Let's retreat on our own. Wish the couple good luck~"
The people playing gongs and drums here left, and a group of little girls came, all of them seventeen or eighteen years old, clanking the little flower drums on their waists: "This man is good at everything. The girls can't follow him. Come and compete, if the good girl wins first place, girls, get out of here!"
Linglong was shocked. Is there anyone here to compete with her? She glanced at Qingshan, whose face was red and happy, seeing how his wife fought for him.
Grandma Sun said with a smile: "It's just lively and lively, so just play with them."
Linglong walked over.
Several girls took out their brushes and brushed against the green hills. Each of them drew a picture, some with grinning teeth, some with big and small eyes, and some with a big head and a small body. It’s just that none of them look good.
Qingshan Xin said, you are not here to give me face, you are here to tease me! Give you Mr. Linglong a treat.
Linglong covered her mouth and laughed. She also picked up the brush and painted a few strokes to draw the outline of a green mountain. It was tall and majestic, tall and straight, and handsome in appearance. It looked like a green mountain at first glance.
Several girls smiled and sang: "What a wonderful lady, let us retreat and retreat ~ I wish the newlyweds good luck~"
This noisy little show is finally over.
The couple heard the best man singing loudly:
Pay homage!
The two knelt side by side in the presence of the whole village.
Bow to heaven and earth,
Second bow to the high hall,
Husband and wife bow to each other.
Done!
The couple raised their glasses and thanked everyone for their blessings at the table.
Many familiar girls and wives were even more excited than Linglong, and were extremely happy with tears in their eyes.
Linglong drank a few glasses of wine and was a little drunk. She leaned against Qingshan's arms with a blushing face.
Qingshan raised a glass to clink glasses with the villagers with one hand and hugged Linglong with the other. Drink all the thirty-six tables. Let everyone eat and drink well.
