The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 238 Chapter 220

The next morning, Duan Wuji got up early, Xiao Fuzi got into the carriage, and Liu Caihua said goodbye to her parents in tears.

Liu Qingyun and his wife sent them far away from the village before returning, Liu Laihua got into the carriage, Duan Wuji was riding a horse in front, the mother and son rushed straight to their hometown.

After three days of hard work, the mother and son finally rushed back to their hometown.

Five days later, the owner of the tea shop came in a carriage, Duan Wuji saw him and hugged him.

"Brother Niu, why are you here? Could it be that your parents are here?"

"Brother, you said my sister is getting married, can they not come?

My parents and my sister were in another carriage, and they would arrive in a moment.

Hey, brother, where is my brother-in-law? "

"Oh, my brother, he has turned in the field. Brother, please come to the house.

Father and mother, come out, my big brother Niu and his family are here. "

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua hurriedly picked them up from the house, and within a short time, another carriage arrived.

Then Boss Niu's parents and younger sister also jumped out of the carriage. Duan Wuji saw that Boss Niu's parents were two middle-aged men in their fifties. There is such a spirit all over the body.

I saw that the old man was wearing sea-blue silk underwear, wearing powder-soled boots, and his gray hair was tied on the top of his head, which was tied with a sapphire hairpin.

Looking at the face, the old man has a baby face, big eyes, long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, a nose like a gall, thin lips, and a gray beard, ho!This old man is very attractive.

Looking at the old woman again, she also has a slender figure, curved eyebrows, big eyes, and two shallow dimples on her face. She was a stunning beauty when she was young.

This woman is wearing light pink butterfly flower clothes and trousers, which looks both coquettish and generous.

Look at Niu Ahua again, she is wearing a pink silk gown on her top, green trousers on her bottom, and colorful embroidered shoes on her feet, she looks beautiful without being coquettish.

The owner of the tea shop said with a smile: "Uncle, Auntie, these are my parents."

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua greeted each other with smiles.

"Old brother, old sister-in-law, quickly follow me into the house, let's go, let's go in and drink tea.

Hey, Wuji, why don't you go out and find your brother. "

Duan Wuji promised and walked out.

Not long after, Duan Wuji found his elder brother on the edge of the village.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother, Boss Niu and their parents are here, you should hurry back and deal with it.

Remember, don't embarrass our family. "

"Shame? Why are you ashamed of me, brother? Hey, brother, come back with me."

"Hey! Brother, what's the matter with me? I might as well stay away."

"Why is it none of your business? This is marrying a sister-in-law for you? Do you think so?"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji opened his mouth twice but did not speak.

"Brother, my dear brother, I can't say you can do it. It seems that if you don't study less, you can't do it! Sigh, this is reasonable but unreasonable.

Okay, okay, won't it be over if I go back with you? "

"Isn't this the end of it! How can you marry your sister-in-law and you don't show up? Brother, what do you say?"

"I said? What did I say?"

When the two brothers returned home, they saw their parents leading their family of four around the house.

The two followed silently, and did not return to the main courtyard to the east until the turn was over.

The old bull looked at Duan Changsheng and said: "What a handsome young man, his appearance is no worse than me back then.

In-laws, I didn't expect your family to be so valuable!

Well, I am relieved to marry the girl into your family.

When her brother told me before, I didn't really believe it. I thought her brother was exaggerating.

I didn't expect your family to be richer than what her brother said!Which of the big families like this doesn't have three wives and four concubines. I didn't expect your son to be so innocent.

Ah Hua, you have to be a good person when you enter the door. Don't tell your in-laws to tell you that you are not good. Do you hear me clearly? "

Niu Ahua nodded.

"Well, Dad, I see."

"Hey, in-laws, when do you think we will celebrate the bride price?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said, "Brother, tell me, brother, I'll listen to you."

"Well, I think how about our bride price tomorrow? I think it's better to get married sooner rather than later. The sooner you get married, the better. In-laws, what do you think?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "The two of us thought about going together, and I thought so too.

Hey, in-laws, according to your customs, how much gift money should our family give? "

"According to the custom in our place, the lengths are also different, the difference is hundreds of thousands of miles!

There are as few as ten taels of silver, and as many as hundreds of taels. Of course, the rich also have thousands of taels.

In-laws, this gift money is not important, the key is that their young couple get along well, in-laws, do you think I'm right? "

Duan Yanqing smiled and said: "In-law, you are so right, hey, in-law, I think you should take this gift away today, so that we don't have to send it to you tomorrow, what trouble you said. "

"Ah? Taken together, you are more anxious than I am? Well, that's fine too. It really saves a lot of trouble."

Duan Yanqing smiled and said to Liucaihua: "Master Nei, it's getting late, let's hurry up and cook a few more dishes, we have to celebrate properly today."

"Okay, then I'm going to cook, you can talk to the guests here for a while."

Saying that, Liu Caihua turned around and walked out.

Niu Ahua stood up.

"Mom, wait for me, I'll help you too."

"Yo, you haven't been here yet? How can mother let you cook? You'd better rest here."

"Mother, how can we be so poor and particular? Besides, sooner or later we will still be a family? Today I will learn from you first, so as to save me from being unfamiliar."

"Well, since you are willing to go, then go with mother."

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "Look, look at how sensible this girl is! She went to help your mother cook without going through the door."

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "Father, isn't our family interested in this? Look at Jinhua, has the Jin family passed through? Don't they cook for our family every day?"

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing was about to say something, raised his eyes to look at Duan Wuji, and swallowed his words back.

The time is not long, and the food will be served.

Duan Wuji took a look.

Ho!Today's meal is really rich!There are no less than a dozen meat dishes!There are also more than a dozen vegetarian dishes.

The meat dishes include red stuffed elbow, stir-fried pork belly, fatty sausage, yellow chicken, boiled duck, steamed pigeon, minced meat vermicelli, boiled rabbit in salt water, boiled mutton, braised carp in soy sauce, stewed grass carp in clear water, and oily prawns .

Vegetable dishes are fried loofah, fried lentils, fried eggplant, cold cucumber, boiled peanuts, fried peanuts, fried mushrooms, water balls, cold melon and so on.

"Hey! In-laws, how did you get such a big table of food for this engagement? Is there anything we can eat?
It's a waste if you can't eat it! "

Niu Ahua's father said.

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing said with a smile: "Dear family, hurry up and sit down, you don't know, there is a snack in our family, and this is my youngest son, it really isn't enough to eat without it."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji gave his father a hard look, and said in his heart that I recruited you, did I provoke you?What are you talking about me doing?Really idle.

After the family sat down, Duan Yanqing first poured wine for the two in-laws, and everyone chatted while eating.

Duan Wuji was annoyed when he heard that, thinking, what am I doing sitting here with a pair of chopsticks?I might as well eat as much as I want, Wang Jinhua kept adding vegetables to Duan Wuji's bowl, Duan Wuji eats this.

Niu Ahua smiled and said, "Jin Hua, why did you pick up vegetables for him? Can't he pick up vegetables himself?"

Wang Jinhua smiled sweetly.

"Sister Ahua, you haven't been through the door yet, so you just care about so many things?

If you are jealous, you can put vegetables in my brother's bowl too!

Tell you, I do. "

Niu Ahua smiled wryly after hearing this, but did not speak.

After lunch, Duan Yanqing took out 1000 taels of silver from the house and handed it to Duan Changsheng.

"Changsheng, don't you hurry up and sneak them into the car?"

When Liu Caihua saw that her in-laws were leaving, she hurried into the house and brought out five or six pieces of brocade cloth.

"Ah Hua, you can take back these bolts of brocade cloth, this is the best material, it was brought back from the prince's mansion by your brother when he went to Beijing, you can take it back and make some beautiful clothes. "

Niu Ahua smiled.

"Mother, then I will thank you. I will be filial to you when I pass the door."

Willow cauliflower grinned.

Niu Ahua carried several bolts of brocade into the car, and the family boarded the car and left.

Duan Yanqing led his family and sent them far away before turning back.
