Chapter 1 The wedding of the Chen family's ancestral hall

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the Xinsi Year, the town of Daofeng was extremely lively.

The gate of the Chen Family Ancestral Temple in Chenzhuang is even more lively.

"The bride gets off the sedan chair!"

Following the high-pitched yell from the companion, the firecrackers blared outside the sedan chair, and Lin Jinzhu stepped down from the sedan chair.

Looking around from the hem of the red hijab, she felt that a group of children were rushing out from all around, and together with some young daughters-in-law who were watching the fun, they all took the dry longan kernels, small persimmon kernels, peanuts and other small things in their hands. Throw it at her.

Lin Jinzhu was not afraid of longan pits, small persimmon pits, and peanuts, because throwing them didn't hurt her body. Anyway, the brides who got married in Daofeng Town had to go through this experience, and she was afraid that what was thrown would be small stones.

In the wedding ceremony in Daofeng Town, those who threw whole grains and peanuts on the bride’s head had the intention of praying for blessings and exorcising evil spirits. !
In rural areas, this kind of thing happens all the time.

Through the hazy red hijab, Lin Jinzhu's eyes were fixed on the pair of shoes she had hand-made walking in front.

The person wearing those shoes is called Chen Lisong, and he will be her husband from now on.

Chen Lisong is now wearing a long gown that he only wears when he is married, and he is walking vigorously with Lin Jinzhu to the Chen Family Ancestral Temple, where he is about to marry her.

Two naughty children suddenly became weird: raised their sly eyes, tilted their heads and threw a few small things at the bride's head.

Chen Lisong saw that the small objects were thrown very quickly, and it seemed that they were not things like longan cores, small persimmon cores, or peanuts, and he saw the two mischievous children throwing small objects, and they were holding their fists to protect themselves. Secretly laughing at the chin, knowing it must be no good.

Seeing that those little objects were about to be thrown on the bride's head, Chen Lisong immediately stretched out his hand to catch them!
There were only a few crisp crashing sounds of "cracking", and Chen Lisong grabbed the small objects that were thrown one by one!

It really is a few small stones!If it was thrown on Lin Jinzhu's head, it would definitely be a red envelope!
"These two naughty ghosts! Brother Li Song will return it to you now!"

Chen Lisong pretended to raise his hand to throw the small stone back to the two children, scaring them away in a panic.

Lin Jinzhu under the red hijab heard the sound and voice, knowing that Chen Lisong, who was about to become her husband, did this for her, she was naturally happy, and followed Chen Lisong into the Chen Clan Ancestral Temple.

As soon as she entered the Chen Clan Ancestral Temple, she immediately heard Chen Lisong shouting to the hall: "Father, come here."

Lin Jinzhu didn't know what happened, the Chen Family Ancestral Temple suddenly seemed to be quiet.

No one started the wedding ceremony, no one spoke to the bride, and no one told Lin Jinzhu whether to continue standing or find a place to sit down.

Lin Jinzhu didn't dare to ask because she hadn't married yet and couldn't speak.She just stood there in a daze until the housemate came to help her.

But she can feel: the man who protected her just now is not in the ancestral hall now!
Two months ago, in November of the Gengchen year, Chen Zhuang's matchmaker came to her home to say goodbye, saying that Chen Ruyi of Chen Zhuang had a pair of sons and daughters, her brother was called Chen Lisong, and her younger sister was called Chen Songmei. Brother and sister make up into two pairs.

Chen Lisong passed by Linjiazhai when he was hunting in Fengshan. She met her before marrying her. Even if the matchmaker didn't say that their family would marry his younger sister to her brother Lin Jinshun, she would still marry her. That's why the pair of shoes he is wearing now The sole of the shoe, she took it seriously.

She decided that there was something more important about Chen Lisong, which was his hard work.

At the beginning of the year before last, a group of people like those on Daoxia also appeared on Fengshan Mountain. Fearing that the Chen family and his son would be banditized by people on Fengshan Mountain, the mayor gave them a piece of land by the Tianjiang River.

What kind of land is that?

There are several or even a dozen typhoons in Daofeng Town every year. When a typhoon blows, the water in the Tianjiang River will rise, and the land will naturally be flooded.Fields that are flooded all year round will not yield good harvests, so no one wants that land for more than a hundred years.Unexpectedly, last year when the Chen family came to visit and settled down to change their sister-in-law, they would send another whole bag of millet!
It turned out that after the Chen family got the land, they were not in a hurry to plant it. Instead, they dug up the silt from the Tianjiang River, and collected earth and rocks from the edge of the Fengshan Mountain to fill up the land and make the ridges thicker and taller.Hard work pays off.More than a dozen typhoons last year did not affect the harvest of that land, and because it is near the river, irrigation is more convenient.

"He suddenly felt that I was not good, did he decide not to want me?"

It's been a long time since her in-laws made a sound, and now Lin Jinzhu is about to cry. Apart from being helpless, she can only think wildly.

When she was thinking about it, she heard Chen Lisong, who was picking up the small stone for her, whispered: "Father, be careful not to use the Wannian ship. I saw them sneaking around the police station when I came back from picking up my relatives. The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. That's why I told you."

"Well, I also hope that I didn't work in vain just now. Then let's start paying homage now!"

"Okay, Dad."

When Lin Jinzhu heard the conversation between Chen Lisong and his son, she almost laughed out loud, and said to herself, "So it's not that he doesn't want me. I should be doing something important just now."

I heard Chen Ruyi ask again: "Where's Brother Tianfu? We Chenzhuang disciples are holding a wedding, if he's not there, it won't be possible! Where's Li Tiezhu?"

"Master, I'm behind you!" Li Tiezhu responded, and ran from behind Chen Ruyi to Chen's father and son.

"Tie Zhu, hurry up and ask Master Tianfu to come here! Remember, you have to call him Master, and you must not lose your etiquette."

"Don't worry, master." Li Tiezhu responded readily, and left the ancestral hall in an instant to invite someone.

Chen Ruyi turned around and asked the companion, "Mother, are we going to worship?"

The roommate hurriedly said: "It's already half an hour past the good time, let's start when everyone is here!"

"Everyone will be here soon."

Chen Ruyi's daughter-in-law answered the question and asked, "Is it unlucky to visit the church after the time?"

"It's not good after all, but I think the boss should have something urgent just now, so there's nothing I can do about it."

So everyone moved the tables and chairs, re-arranged the offerings, and waited for Li Tiezhu to call Chen Tianfu to start.

After nearly half an hour, Chen Tianfu arrived late.

Chen Tianfu was a man in his forties, holding a civilized stick in his hand. When he entered the ancestral hall, he commanded: "Chen Ruyi, let's start! Offer incense! Father-in-law and mother-in-law, sit down!"

Chen Ru felt that Chen Tianfu had come, nodded to him, and immediately turned to the roommate and said: "The elders are here, let's start."

Then he took his wife to light incense at the incense table, bowed four times and sat down.

Their family was just an ordinary peasant family, so naturally they couldn't afford to hire a master of ceremonies to preside over the wedding ceremony. Now that Chen Tianfu, who is the most famous in Chenzhuang other than the patriarch, was invited to be the master of ceremonies for the wedding, it was considered a great honor.

The roommate Deling also got busy, and shouted again: "Okay! The groom and the bride, two newcomers, come, stand here!"

Chen Lisong and Lin Jinzhu stood in front of Chen Ruyi and his wife, ready to kneel, according to the order of the companion.

Chen Tianfu instructed Li Tiezhu, Chen Ruyi's apprentice, "Tie Zhu, set off firecrackers!"

"Okay!" Li Tiezhu took a string of firecrackers from the incense table, picked up a lit incense, and went to the gate of the ancestral hall.

"Slow! You can't pay homage now!"

During the voice, a group of men in police uniforms rushed into the Chen Family Ancestral Temple and blocked Li Tiezhu at the gate.
