Lady forced to seek prince

Widow Xie had already thought about it. Today she would happily visit her husband. If more than thirty couples were all crying, how ugly would the scene be?

"You will all be happy when you go up in a while." Widow Xie reminded the bride in her wedding dress.

"I know." Everyone said immediately.

Most of the people getting married this time were about the same age as Widow Xie, and there were also a few women in their forties. It was only at the last moment that they mustered up the courage to take a step forward.

Most of them came to the northwest in response to the civil order. They usually work together, but now they are getting married together, and they are even closer to each other.

"There's nothing to feel bad about," said Qiu from Sunjiacun. "When I got married for the first time, my parents were still there. When I left home, I thought I was leaving like this. It was really hard to bear."

"After the relocation order was issued, my parents and brothers also came to the northwest. However, they encountered an epidemic on the way and they were all gone. I was left alone to escape death with my baby. This time I got married and took my baby with me. , I also agreed that he would help me raise my child well, and I will change his surname in the future. I will only be happy if I have one more person to help me in the future."

Everyone had mixed feelings after hearing this. Everyone has their own experience, but anyone who gets married for the second time must have had a bad experience. Now everyone feels that it will get better and better.

"Then it's settled," said Widow Xie, "no one should cry, lest everyone cry too."

Emotions can be passed on from person to person.

The female relatives nodded.

Another person said: "My father and mother are here, but I won't cry. The bastard I married always beat and scolded me when he was alive. Now I'm looking for someone who can not only work, but is also honest and reliable." It’s not too late for me to rejoice.”

When he said this, everyone started laughing.

The little bit of sadness in Widow Xie's heart disappeared without a trace.

"The auspicious time has come, and it's time for the bride to pass." Xi Niang walked over quickly, bringing Zhang Erya and others to help.

Widow Xie and others were helped towards the flower hall.

Just after walking through the Moon Gate, Widow Xie heard the crowd and the noise, and many pairs of eyes looked at them. Fortunately, she was also someone who had seen big scenes, otherwise she would have been weak.

Xi Niang smiled and said to Widow Xie, "It's right in front. The prince and princess are waiting there."

Widow Xie's heart skipped a beat and she walked faster. For no other reason than that, where could the prince and princess wait for them?

"Slow down, slow down, don't be in a hurry," Xi Niang reminded, "be careful where you step."

After a while, the brides had a panoramic view of the flower hall. Although they had been prepared, they were still stunned in surprise.

There were many people sitting in the flower hall, all of them elderly grandmas and grandpas from each village. The faces were very familiar to them. Not only did they come all the way to the northwest, but they were all assigned to settle in a village. If they had a few days If you can't see someone, you always have to ask around, or go to the door to have a look.

Before you know it, everyone feels like a family.

Now they have replaced their father and mother and come to see them off for marriage.

I don’t know who choked up first, and then more than thirty people had sore noses and blurred their vision.

"This is to leave golden beans for Prince Yu's palace."

Xi Niang's joke made everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Luoyang was also touched in her heart. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Yu. Prince Yu didn't seem to notice this subtle change in the atmosphere. She was about to look away when she felt a warmth on her hand, which was held by Xiao Yu. .

In full view of everyone, she couldn't fight with him, so she had to use her sleeves to cover up like him.

The ceremony of getting married together is very simple. The newlyweds are called forward, and Zhao Luoyang gives each bride a dowry. The dowry contains twenty taels of silver, three dresses, three books, tea, and furs. of the northwest, besides which each man took away a lamb.

This dowry may not be rich to others, but it is what the farmer can use.

The brides cried and laughed and simply stopped controlling their emotions. The grooms didn't think much about it, they only thought about getting a wife today.

After doing this, the newlyweds saluted King Yu, the princess and the elders of each village, and then were surrounded by others and walked outside the palace.

The crowd gathered outside to join in the fun looked at this with wonder and envy.

There are many widows here who want to remarry. After today's incident, they have gained some courage.

Zhao Luoyang specifically told Xi Niang that after today, they should go to the surrounding villages more frequently and make more matchmaking connections. Farmers don't pay too much attention to sedan chairs, mule carts, and donkey rides. They just use whatever their homes look like to celebrate weddings. In the sound of joy, more than thirty couples rushed to their homes.

Zhao Luoyang entertained the people who came to watch the ceremony at the palace.

Mrs. Yang had been busy all day, had some wine, and was about to return to the inner courtyard to rest. Just as she was about to pass the Moon Gate, she was caught up by a figure from behind.

Mrs. Yang raised her head and saw Mr. Song.

Mr. Song's face was red, and he had obviously eaten a few drinks. He was a little more courageous than before, and stood in front of Mrs. Yang.

Old Mrs. Yang couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mr. Song pursed his lips and muttered, "Have you read the book I sent out today?"

After Mrs. Yang read it a few times, she decided that the private school in the village would use this book to enlighten her children: "I've read it."

"That was written by Luo Yang and I," said Mr. Song. "Look, Luo Yang knew about the book he wanted to give to me on such an important occasion."

It turned out to be a reward for merit.

Mrs. Yang didn't know what to say to him: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr."

"It's not hard work," said Mr. Song. "In the future, I will teach Yuan Rang, Yuan Ji and Yuan Bao well. At least, I will make them all pass the examinations of scholar and examination."

Mrs. Yang nodded accordingly.

Mr. Song continued: "There is also brother Tao of the third daughter-in-law. In short, I will teach as many of these children as they have, and I don't need them to change their surname to Song."

Old Mrs. Yang sounded normal at first, but the next words made her stunned.

Mr. Song stared at Old Mrs. Yang: "Whoever needs me, I will do my best. I am not as good as their biological father... no... I must be a hundred times stronger than their biological father."

At this point, Mr. Song paused for a moment. His alcoholism seemed to have dissipated a bit, so he said solemnly: "There is only one thing, you have to marry me."

Luo Zhenniang and Mrs. Xu, who were not far away, looked at each other. Taking this opportunity, Mr. Song finally said what was in his heart. The two of them were really worried about Mr. Song.

"Do you think it's okay?" Mr. Song said, "Today, you must give me a happy message, otherwise I will move out of Fengxia Village tomorrow."

Mrs. Yang stared at Mr. Song. Facing such a drunkard, she really didn't want to say anything, so she turned her head and wanted to find another way to leave, but Mr. Song blocked her way.

"Then give me an answer tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"This month, it can't be any later."

"Next month, before spring plowing..."

Mrs. Xu, who was originally nervous, saw her father-in-law wrapped around Mrs. Yang's butt. Her legs and feet became more flexible, and she suddenly became more than ten years younger.

"Look, people dare to take a step forward. What are you thinking?"

"Who dares to gossip about you, I will go find him to reason."

"You are not young, you should think about it."

"Ouch..."

Hearing Mr. Song's cry, Mrs. Xu hurriedly stretched her head to look and saw that Mr. Song was sitting on the ground for some reason.

Did he do it by hand, or did he fall on his own?
