Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 166, happy money clears the way

The poetry arena that seemed to be full of courtyards actually passed quickly. Yun Zhan had no shortage of people, let alone talents, and soon he came to the outside of Yuanxiu's room. The place was guarded by the old man Yuan, and the decoration was a bit frightening. .

The other celebrities only had a desk, and the one who was carrying a broomstick and writing did not take up too much space for a wooden basin of ink. The old man was wearing a new embroidered robe, and heaped up from the ground behind his left shoulder for about a carload. There are a lot of pen holders behind the right shoulder, and there are pens on each pen holder.

Mr. Niu clicked his mouth and guessed: "Could it be that you have to check every book, I heard that Lao Yuan has a rich collection of books, so you have to write all these pens." He thought it was inappropriate, so he said: "Old Yuan, old Yuan, don't delay the auspicious time for your granddaughter to go out by focusing on taking the test of your grandson-in-law."

The old man Yuan was embarrassed. In fact, his confidants set up the ring. The old man Yuan wanted to say a word of congratulations, so he let his grandson-in-law pick up sister Xiu. Tang Yixun grinned and said that this was all the prince's idea. He said that there is no harm in having fun on the wedding night. The old man thought coldly that he might scare the groom, but the venerable had something to say and reluctantly followed it.

Yun Zhan still wouldn't be baffled, he stepped forward to bow down, and said loudly, "I've seen my grandfather."

There was laughter from the crowd, and the gentlemen welcoming the bride were all witty and booed: "It's over, let's pick up the newcomers."

The sound spread to the outside of the gate like a torrent, the drummers began to beat, and the firecrackers crackled. Xinji was full of festiveness on this night, and the moonlit night was flushed.

The old man Yuan smiled, and stepped out of the way. Yun Zhan approached the door of Yuanxiu's room with excitement, making preparations for the last hurdle, when he saw the door open, a dozen young or young The eldest woman smiled and said: "Here is the new couple, please take him away right away. We will have a good marriage for a hundred years, and the husband and wife will be harmonious."

It turns out that the female relatives have long been fighting for the prince. Seeing that he edited the new collection a few months ago, seeing that he has a long history of officialdom spreading joy, seeing that he comes from a noble family but is not arrogant, and his belly is full of talent. Being made things difficult, the female relatives have long been unable to stand it.

They agreed not to cause trouble for Shizi Yun, and let him pick up Sister Xiu smoothly. Sister Xiu left smoothly, which also means that entering the in-law's house is smooth, smooth, isn't it smooth?

Yun Zhan was overjoyed, but he didn't get carried away. He was busy making a few bows. It wasn't today, the female relatives wouldn't get the etiquette of the prince, and they returned the gift laughingly, when they heard Yun Zhan say, "Happy money clears the way."

The welcoming team brought out twelve big baskets, piled high with yellow copper coins. The person who carried them pretended to be hi, and lifted the baskets to the door. , They ran out all at once, and picked it up towards the ground.

Yun Zhan came in calmly, bowed lightly to the person sitting upright, and said with a smile: "Madam, please don't worry about your parents-in-law. I just found out before entering Xinji Town, and I have been informed to Northwest Yousi immediately. Do you want to come?" There will be news of my parents-in-law in the next day."

Yuan Xiu, under the red hijab, was shy. When he heard this sentence, he secretly thought that he had a heart, and it was inconvenient to return the courtesy at this time, so he just moved his head like this.

Xi Niang smiled happily, put the end of the red silk into Yuanxiu's hands, helped her up from left to right, and at the same time wished: "Happy money will open the way, the new couple will have a happy life, and the unicorn will give birth to a child, and the children will be happy soon."

This is different from what Yuan Xiu heard when watching other people get married. She laughed secretly that she had changed the rules for entering the house, and the son had changed the rules for going out, but it didn't work. When she walked out of the room, the lantern was lit brightly. mean.

Parents did not come back, second uncle and third uncle went to the imperial examination in Beijing, Yuanxiu had no brothers, the old man Yuan was old, no one carried her on the sedan chair, and carrying the bride on the sedan chair is not the custom in all places, and it is not easy to wait for Yuan for a long time. , Grandpa Yuan said the same goes for the red carpet.

Yuan Xiu stepped over the threshold, and a gentle male voice came from his ear: "Step firmly." Yuan Xiu looked down and saw a thick layer of copper coins on the red carpet, emitting a new golden luster.

She walked in front, and the female relatives laughed and snatched behind, no longer picking up money, but hugging it in their sleeves.

Yuan Xiu walked out of the gate, and there were men behind besides the women's family members. The congratulatory people happily hugged Qian and followed Yuan Xiu's footsteps.

The bride can't see the appearance of the wedding sedan chair, and the green bamboo stands on the gate and sighs. The girls can't marry the son-in-law who is an official, and they can only make a sedan chair for eight people once in a lifetime. The four-person sedan chair, Green Bamboo is the four-person sedan chair, she saw Yuan Xiu enter the eight-carriage sedan chair, she was happy for her, she couldn't help but shed tears.

And the relatives are not all picking up the money. Some old women have been crying for a long time. Aunt Yuan Cai hugged her burden and cried even more sadly. This girl is unreliable in doing things. Cheng, June is the busy season for farming. After the crops are harvested, they need to be dried and put into storage, and autumn and winter vegetables must be planted. Aunt Yuancai wanted to leave without telling her in-laws.

Yuan Xiu was about to get married, and the relatives of the Yuan family came here frequently. Yuan Caigu was such an adult that the Yuan family couldn't hide it. One meal, one more reprimand, one more scolding, if Yuan Xiu hadn't wanted to get married, the Shu family's parents-in-law would have collapsed the roof of the Yuan family's house crying.

Aunt Yuancai didn't understand why her in-laws didn't treat her well. Taking care of Shu Ze was more important, wasn't it? Seeing Yuanxiu's wedding sedan chair lifted leisurely, she joined the crying marriage ranks, but she still didn't understand her sadness .

The cousin is always better than her, Yanyan also married into the Hou's mansion, He Ning Chunwei No.10 married by Luzhu, only she herself is a sad person.

Fortunately, although she didn't understand that she was sad and painful under the strong contrast, she didn't delay in following in the footsteps of Lu Zhu. When going to office, no matter in Beijing or other provinces, if He Ning is not the tenth in Chunwei, it seems that He Ning will have an official position.

After receiving orders from her in-laws, Luzhu happily sent Yuanxiu to Beijing, and then went to visit Yanyan to see if she was doing well. If not, if Luzhu can help, she will definitely help. Oh, she bought a new mallet It is true that in the luggage, the first one hits Shu Ze, and the second one hits Shu Ze, and when the second one is really unbearable, the young master Luan Jing also hits him.

The old man Yuan is getting old, he can't stay up late, he can't accompany his in-laws to ride a horse, he can't fall asleep on a horse, so he prepares a car to go to the pier in advance; Luzhu takes Yuancaigu to take the car that He's family takes her to the pier , Mrs. Zhen sent off her father-in-law, sister Xiu and her daughter, and sister Hui still won permission to go to Beijing, calling it a visit to her father.

Sister Ting won't be able to go out tonight, and Mrs. Li stayed behind to guard the door of Yuan's family. She and Sister Hui were reluctant to part with each other, and gave Yuan Hui all the newly-won wedding money, and kept saying, "Come back soon. Sister Hui, don't delay going to school."

Yuan Hui nodded earnestly: "I'll see my father off after I see my sister off."

"Come back soon, Sister Hui, I'll wait for you at school." Sister Ting took a few steps after the carriage.

Li Shi held her hand and stopped her from chasing it, coaxing her to go home to pick up money: "The kids in the town are crazy about picking up money, what else, don't you want to pick up?"

Ms. Ting's small face has an unreal sadness: "Sister Hui is not here, what's the point of picking it up, without her spending money with me, without her eating with me, I won't pick it up. Mom, why can't I go to Beijing?" , Dad has gone."

Tang said that he followed the happy boat back to Beijing, and Youden was now nominally an official of Wang Shizi's inspection of the river works, so he had to go with him. It was a good thing to go to Beijing to report on his work, and Youren and his wife were actually happy.

Mrs. Li showed her patience: "Father is only afraid of being promoted when he goes to Beijing, so how about we drag him down? If your father gets a new official position in Beijing, how about mother taking you to Beijing?"

Sister Ting didn't say anything, and went to sleep with the nanny obediently. Li Shi took people to tidy up the yard, cleared up the tables, chairs, tea bowls, etc., piled up the borrowed ones in a room, and returned them tomorrow, and washed the tea bowls to dry them tomorrow. Putting it into the warehouse, she was busy until the sky cleared up. She thought that Sister Xiu was about to board the boat, and a happy smile appeared on her face for Sister Xiu.

Yun Shizi is not tall, his eyes are not big, and Li Shi, who is helping Zhen Shi with hard work, didn't pay attention. There was too much happy money on the ground, and she didn't bother to pick up a sleeve. , and when the family sweeps the floor at dawn, money can be found everywhere, Li Shi is all smiles, sister Xiu is blessed.

After the wedding ceremony last night, it could be seen at a glance whether the Duke Huguo's Mansion and the Princess Mansion respected their daughter-in-law.
