It’s the ninth day of September, the eve of moving.
The first batch of furniture has been made and delivered to the house. Song Che first decorated a bedroom with a four-meter-long bed, soft duck down pillows, two bedside tables, lampshades made to look like table lamps, and a colorful carpet. , and put in two beanbags...
Antique Chinese elegance, light luxury and indifferent Western romance, a perfect combination of Chinese and Western styles, you will feel comfortable even before you check in.
The house was kept spotless, like a peaceful beauty waiting for the master's favor and love.
On the seventh day of September, the sky was slightly bright.
Song Che was waiting on the dock with sixty or seventy people including porters, horsemen, and helpers.
When the autumn sun was shining, two cargo ships docked. Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo, along with more than twenty servants including servants, maids, and cooks, disembarked one after another.
It was the most auspicious time to start moving, so everyone started unloading and loading trucks at the dock without any delay.
The business travelers on the pier were all surprised by the huge battle, and they were all curious: Which big family moved, and actually used two cargo ships to move it.
"Didn't I say hello to you before I left? There is nothing missing in the house. Just bring your bags and move in. You brought so many things..."
Song Che rented twenty carriages, and they were all packed to the brim.
Shen Wenjun sighed: "Why don't I want to bring less with me, but mother said to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Since we are moving, we have to replace everything with new ones. Also, mother specifically told me to tell you that these things are all owed to you before. dowry."
"Harm, why are you doing all this? We are not separated..."
"Isn't it just to thank you for being such a quick son-in-law?"
"It doesn't matter what the dowry is, you should bring your parents with you most."
"Don't mention it. Mom has been in poor health since she gave birth to Yu'er. She saw me off at the dock last night and almost fainted from crying..."
Shen Wenjun sniffed, tears filling his eyes. The farewell last night must have been deeply touching.
Song Che gently wiped the tears from her eyes and comforted her: "Hangzhou is not far from Suzhou, and the canal is so convenient. From now on, we will go back to visit them every month."
Shen Wenjun hummed twice and fell into Song Che's arms, sobbing and sobbing, and finally couldn't hold back the tears.
Since ancient times, farewell has been the most tear-jerking thing.
…
After more than a hundred people unloading and moving goods without stopping, finally, half an hour later, everything was loaded onto the carriage.
A total of twenty-four vehicles drove toward the east of the city.
When the motorcade arrived at the door of the house, the auspicious time to pass through the door was almost over.
Although he was happy to move into a new house, Song Che didn't make too much of a fuss, so as not to have trouble repaying the gift later, he only invited relatives from his mother's family and some employees of his store.
Forty or fifty people gathered at the gate of the house, waiting for the auspicious time to come.
"Uncle, the auspicious time has come."
"Akun, why don't you call me uncle? You should call me master!"
"No problem, no problem, uncle, master, young master, official, I will happily agree to it!"
Song Che used a fork to push up the red silk on the lintel of the door, revealing a plaque engraved with two large gilt characters "Song Mansion".
Looking at the plaque, tears filled Song Che's eyes. For a man, no matter whether he has a group of wives or concubines, or a house full of children and grandchildren, all his glorious years begin with a home.
He finally has a home of his own!
“Auspicious days will bring you everything you want when moving, and a good time will bring you a happy home for a hundred years!”
"May you be blessed with good fortune, wealth, longevity, and good fortune!"
"Happy move in!"
"Crackling..."
Firecrackers are blasting and gongs and drums are noisy.
Song Che joined hands with Shen Wenjun, holding gold and silver ingots in their hands. Relatives and servants, all holding grains, bowls, chopsticks and other items, crossed the threshold happily.
"Wow... this house is really big!"
"Coco, take out the kite quickly, we want to be the first to fly a kite in the house!"
"Okay, okay!"
After entering, Song Che took his family to tour the new home, while Lin Yue and Zhou Yazhao directed the workers to move the goods into the house.
The house is really big enough. If you take a leisurely look around, you can finish it in half a day.
At noon, local custom says that the first meal after moving is to worship the Kitchen God and open a fire at home. Song Che specially invited the chef of Wangjiang Inn to hold a banquet in the house. Both relatives and helpers had a sumptuous lunch. .
In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the house, drank tea, chatted, played mahjong, played shuttlecock, and played various games.
In the evening, Song Che invited everyone to Wangjiang Inn to share a housewarming banquet.
Song Che was really happy today, so he drank a few more drinks. It was only at this time that he was slightly tipsy and sent several relatives of the Zhou family who were unconscious from drinking into the carriage.
"Eh? Where are my wife and the others?" Song Che looked around but couldn't see them.
"Madam, they went home first, and they said they have a surprise waiting for you!" A Kun said with a smile.
"Oh? So, there are special programs?"
Song Che was full of expectations.
go home.
Just arrived at the door of the mansion.
"Sir, you are back. Come on, put this on!"
Keke and Fuer came forward with a wedding dress in their arms, and put it on for Song Che.
"What's the fuss about?" Song Che was confused.
"Madam said that in addition to the joy of moving into a house today, there is also the joy of a wedding. Sir, you must work harder!"
After putting Song Che into his wedding clothes, Coco and Fu'er carried Song Che to the inner house.
When we arrived in the inner courtyard, my dear, more than twenty brides in wedding clothes and hijabs lined up neatly.
The eldest cousin Ruan Ling, the eldest cousin Zhou Hui, the eldest aunt Zheng Xiu'e, and the second aunt Sun Chunxue were all laughing hard.
oh!
No wonder!
The men of the Zhou family stayed at the inn to get Song Che drunk, while the women of the Zhou family went home first to prepare a "surprise".
"How come... you're not drunk at all?" Sun Xiu'e couldn't believe it when she saw Song Che's clear eyes.
Song Che bent his middle finger, gestured to them, and asked: "Aunts, sisters-in-law, and cousins, do you know what this means?"
They looked at each other, puzzled.
Song Che said proudly: "This is called 'drinking without a middle finger'. I don't have to use any of my power to deal with my uncle and cousin."
"Oh, what a big tone. If they can't get you drunk, that's because they don't have the ability. But if you want to take the bride away from us tonight, you'll have to put in some effort!"
Sun Xiu'e pointed at a group of brides and said: "There are twenty-seven brides here, Wenjun, Yazhao, Qinruo, and Lin Yue. You have to find four of them from this group of brides, but You are not allowed to lift the hijab, you are not allowed to touch them, and you are not allowed to ask questions.”
Zhou Hui added: "Also, if you make the wrong choice, no matter who it is, you have to marry her."
Ruan Ling added: "If your brother-in-law really can't guess it, you can buy clues from us. The price is one hundred taels of silver each, and there is no upper limit."
This is how you play it, right?
