When the news reached the Liu and He families, no one cared about it.
The two families were equally in a state of turmoil.
The He family is getting married soon, so it is not appropriate to change the auspicious date set early for fear that it will be unlucky.
Mrs. Wu also wanted to take advantage of the fact that her nephews are still here, so that when her daughter gets married, they can not only look good to He's parents, but also control the men, so that they know that their daughter has a strong backer, and they will not dare to bully their daughter easily in the future. .
In addition, teaching the ineffective son is also an indispensable part of the day.
The same goes for the Liu family.
Every morning early in the morning, the four boys of the Liu family, regardless of whether they were married or not, treated them equally and took the broom, pot and spoon to get a dozen a day.
Aunt Liu, "You bastard, mud can't hold up a wall! Your cousin has so many serious jobs, and he can earn a lot of money every month just by doing anything. It's a good thing that other people can't get even by burning incense. It’s delivered to you, but you don’t want it?! Would you rather pick up manure and carry sandbags?! One day, I’ll wake you up and let you go! Dad, stop them, don’t let them run away!”
Second Aunt Liu, "It's all my fault. It's my fault that I, as a mother, am incompetent and can't help you read and write! You want to be an errand boy... Okay, go, you go, we will always be responsible." My parents can’t control you anymore. Now that my wings have become strong and my abilities have become stronger, I won’t listen to anything my parents say... Kneel down! I haven’t finished speaking yet!”
The big, strong calf was in unspeakable pain, and He Guang was tortured.
There are some unscrupulous people in the Su family who make endless jokes every day.
In the blink of an eye, it’s December, and it’s windy and snowy.
A new parent officer came to Yuzhou, and He Luping's big day was coming.
Since Tianbao had promised to get married, he came to the bride's bridal chamber before dawn to accompany her.
Wheat Sui and Bing'er joined in the fun and came over to see off their little sisters.
He Luping's husband's family is from Liangyan Village, less than five miles away from Hejia Village, and they are very close to each other.
Mrs. Wu specially put on her best clothes today, with a thorn hairpin pinned to her neatly combed bun. She looked energetic and generous.
Mrs. He also came, and personally held a comb to tie up her granddaughter's hair. The corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy, but the ends of her eyes were watery. "When we women get married, we say they marry with tears. When a newlywed gets married in tears, it is a sign of love for her relatives." The reluctance to leave also shows a woman's filial piety, and also means praying for happiness. It is a ceremony that is also solemn. Now that Ping'er has left the house, she is a married woman and has truly grown up. Although grandma is not rich or famous, , it is better that all the descendants in the house are filial, so I will pass this blessing on to you, I hope Ping'er will be blessed throughout her life."
He Luping's heart suddenly burst out with sourness, "Thank you, grandma."
"Hey, eh, eh, I can't cry, I can't cry! The makeup I just put on is so wet that it's all wet!" Madam Wu stopped her daughter from crying, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to suck away the tears from her eyes.
The three girls standing side by side looked at this scene with something new and strange.
Xiaomai Sui clicked her tongue, "I didn't expect that there are so many ways to get married. You have to get up before dawn to get dressed and put on makeup. You can't cry when you are sad. You have to cry when you can't cry when you go out. You can't think about leaving before you go out. Just leave, you have to wait for the auspicious time to arrive before you can leave, and you have to rush to worship at the auspicious time...it's so troublesome!"
Mrs. He smiled and said, "You can't say that. Getting married is a major event in a woman's life. The relatives of both parties hope that the child will be harmonious and happy after getting married. They should abide by the auspiciousness and follow the procedures. The more detailed and complicated it is, the more it expresses how much both parties value the marriage. .”
"There are indeed many rules for getting married, so you have to have elders around to remind you. You girls don't understand those." Mrs. Wu said with a smile, and then cleared her throat, "When we get married, our relatives usually give The bride adds makeup..."
Mrs. He turned around and stared at her daughter-in-law, helpless.
Wu sneered, but she still wanted to be evil, "Mom, I just said it casually, besides, adding makeup is just to add color to Ping'er's head, right?"
Tianbao heard this word for the first time and asked, "What should I add to my makeup?"
"You can add anything!" Mrs. Wu responded almost immediately, with joy on her face. "It doesn't matter how expensive it is! It's really just to give Ping'er some extra luck. What I added is the dowry I brought for her. I'm holding it in my hand. Things, I have the confidence to do anything in my husband's family... Tianbao, Wheat Sui, Bing'er, my aunt really doesn't want to fight with you! But if you have some, it would be better to give Ping'er more!"
Tianbao understood, nodded, took out a white jade box from his left sleeve pocket, opened the lid, and inside was a palm-sized dried wild ginseng, khaki in color, with a long head and legs, and the roots were arranged and coiled neatly. Several times.
Even though Mrs. He had little knowledge about Mr. Wu, she could estimate that this was a ginseng of excellent quality.
He Luping, who had less experience, was so suppressed that she exclaimed and her eyes widened.
"I have no experience in adding makeup, and I don't have anything good with me. Is this ginseng good?" Tianbao pursed her lips, feeling a little unsure.
The three generations of the He family nodded blankly, "Okay!"
It works great!
Wu's eyes brightened after she came to her senses, and her hands were shaking with excitement. If this thing could be discounted at a drug store, it would cost at least a hundred taels of silver! Sent! The daughter’s dowry is quite sufficient, and no one dares to look down upon her husband’s family!
Tian Bao put on makeup, and Wheat Sui and Bing'er were also left behind.
Wheat Sui put the gem-encrusted dagger on his waist into He Luping's hand, "Ping'er, this thing is also valuable, and the most important thing is that it is easy to use! Cutting iron is like clay! If you marry there, there will be people who dare to bully you with a dagger. Cut him!"
Bing'er took out the silver ingot from her money bag, which was pure silver and weighed heavily. "This! Ping'er, keep it. If you get lost outside and want to go home, half of the silver ingot can rent a carriage." , I have half a silver ingot left to buy something to eat! Brother An said so!"
Three things were placed on the dresser.
Mrs. He and Mrs. Wu looked at the three things with mixed emotions. After a while, their eyes turned red and they smiled.
This is something that the three children really put forward, and it is the best they have.
They really treat Ping'er and their poor relatives.
It's getting brighter outside.
The sound of festive gongs and drums could be faintly heard in the distance.
The groom is about to arrive with his wedding team.
Mrs. He hurriedly dressed her granddaughter, covered her with a red hijab, and waited for the bride-to-be to arrive.
During this interval, Mrs. Wu pulled Tianbao aside, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and grinned. The woman in her thirties already had fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled.
"Tianbao, don't worry about Aunt He asking you for something. I really want to help Ping'er get more dowry. After a woman gets married, it's different from what she does at home. Dowry is the same as her confidence. Auntie is an ugly person, but this is really the case in the family. I can't give her a better situation, so I can only shamelessly ask for something from you." As the joy came closer, Wu's voice gradually became choked with sobs, and the rest of the words were incomplete for a while.
Compared with the children's openness and generosity, her little thoughts made her feel ashamed.
Tianbao pursed her lips, "Aunt He, I don't care. It's right to add makeup to your cousin."
"Hey, don't comfort me, I know you are so powerful outside, no one can take advantage of you..."
"Outsiders cannot occupy themselves." A smile appeared on Tianbao's face, and his whole body softened at the sight, "But aunt is different, you are one of our own."
Wu was stunned and stared blankly at the girl's clear smile.
When the sound of gongs and drums reached the door, he let out a cry.
