Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 100
The red fine cloth used for wedding clothes among the people is expensive and difficult to buy. Whoever gets a piece has to keep it for his daughter-in-law. How can it be "wasted" on the daughter?

Asked if there was a vague smell of steamed buns in front of her, Jiang Jintao couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She was indeed a little hungry.

She wanted to reach out and take the steamed bun, but then she remembered Mrs. Liu's words about asking her to eat less today. Jiang Jintao retracted her hand, kneaded the corner of her clothes a few times, and said harshly: "You guys can eat, I'm not hungry."

Jiang Jintao was already dressed like this when Jiang Jinyu came over. Seeing that she didn't eat, he just thought she was full in the morning, so he took back his hand without asking.

Not only the girls who were accompanying the bride in the room, but the adults outside were also busy with the afternoon banquet, just looking for something to eat to fill their stomachs.

At noon, there was a noise outside the yard.

Jiang Jinyu, who was still chatting with someone else, immediately shut up when she noticed it. She raised a finger to her lips and said in a breathy voice: "Are you here?"

Jiang Jintao's heart tightened, and her fingers tangled together and kept kneading each other.

The sound got louder and louder, and vague voices came into the room.

"We've arrived at the entrance of the village! We've arrived at the entrance of the village!"

"Coming this way!"

Jiang Jinyu lay on the edge of the door and looked out, and saw several teenagers running out of breath and reporting news outside the door.

She turned around and gestured to the people in the room who were staring at her, indicating that they were ready because the person to pick up the bride was about to arrive.

Yang Miao stood up first and stood guard by the door with Jiang Jinyu. Several other girls also showed nervous expressions.

Jiang Jintao wore a hijab and could only see a few people's feet walking around in front of her, but she didn't know what riddle they were playing.

After enduring it for a long time, he finally asked in a low voice: "Did you see it?"

"Where have you been?"

Jiang Jinyu glanced outside the door again and whispered: "We haven't arrived yet, but your eldest brother and several brothers from our clan are already guarding the door."

"Don't worry, I won't let the Chen family marry you off easily."

The blush on Jiang Jintao's face hidden under the hijab gradually spread.

Finally, the music played by the suona slowly floated into the yard from far to near.

Chen Tianwen rode at the front of the team. Because he was still young, he was not tall. Compared with the strong black horse at his hip, he looked a little weak.

"This horse looks so strong!"

"It's much more majestic than our mule. I don't know where I bought it. So I'll buy one too."

"Stop it, you can't afford it even if you know where to buy it!"

"You are worthy of the horse that the young master of the Chen family rides?"

"..."

The sound of discussion reached Chen Tianwen's ears, and he straightened his back proudly, and the strength in his legs unconsciously increased.

The black horse seemed to feel the movements of the person on its back, and immediately followed his strength by a few steps, which frightened Chen Tianwen into bowing down and not daring to use any more force.

The villagers who came to see the fun were still talking, most of them praising the Chen family and the young master of the Chen family.

But Chen Tianwen no longer wanted to enjoy the flattery, and felt that he had just lost face, so he made a gesture to the boy who was following the horse.

The young man understood and immediately left the team quietly, leading several servants to stop the villagers who were following behind.

Without the obstruction of the crowd, the wedding reception team moved faster and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard in less than a quarter of an hour.

The door of the old house was closed, and bursts of laughter could be heard inside.Two grooms stood next to the black horse. One held the reins, and the other opened his palm to reveal the candy, causing the black horse to lower his head to lick it.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Tianwen got off the horse in a slight haste.

After standing still, he straightened the corners of his clothes, followed his father's example and put his hands behind his back. After coughing slightly, he stepped forward and knocked on the door: "My son-in-law, Chen Tianwen, is here to pick up the bride today. Please ask my father-in-law to open the door."

Behind the wooden door was not Jiang Minghui, but the boys from the clan. Everyone gathered around the two brothers Jiang Jinhao, urging them to speak.

Jiang Jinhao recalled what he had planned in his mind, and said excitedly to the door: "How are you going to welcome my sister out?"

What he meant was that he was going to block the door. If he followed the custom, he could write poems to match pairs, or throw pots and shoot arrows, and he could pass the barrier to get to the next step.

But Chen Tianwen couldn't bear to watch the monkey show here, so he called his mother-in-law to come forward and took a box from his hand.

The box was opened, but it was full of copper coins.

Chen Tianwen stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful, and threw it hard. More than a dozen copper coins fell into the door like scattered flowers.

The person on the other side of the door obviously didn't expect to reach this point, and was speechless for a moment.

After all, we are all teenagers. In the past, when we rarely had money in our hands, even though we couldn’t figure it out, the money was right in front of us. How could there be any reason not to want it?

So as soon as he reacted, someone squatted down to pick up the coins.

After Chen Tianwen sprinkled two more handfuls, he handed the box to the boy, while he stood leisurely aside with his hands behind his back, completely without any sense of urgency to get married.

After a whole box of copper coins went down, no one was guarding the door anymore. The servant stepped forward and pushed the door open at Chen Tianwen's signal, and sure enough, no one stopped him anymore.

In this way, Chen Tianwen entered the courtyard.

Until he entered the main room, the tribesman assigned to guard the door was still squatting on the ground picking up money.

The people in the room didn't know what was going on outside. When they saw a young man wearing bright red clothes coming in, they immediately thought that this was probably the new bride who was going to get married today.

After Chen Tianwen entered the room, he bowed directly to the throne of honor and said, "Greetings to the Jiang family's grandparents, father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Jiang Yongsheng and others obviously didn't expect him to dispatch the boys who blocked the door so quickly, and they were a little unable to react for a moment.

After all, it was Jiang Yongsheng who came to his senses first. He smiled and said, "We are all from our own family, so there is no need to be polite."

When it was not time to talk, Jiang Yongsheng didn't say much. He only briefly introduced several elders in the clan to Chen Tianwen.

Chen Tianwen went through the rituals one by one, and when he saw that it was almost done, he took the initiative and said, "In that case, shall I go pick up Jin Tao first?"

Although he was asking a question, his tone was non-negotiable.

"Can I trouble my mother-in-law to show me the way to Jintao's boudoir?"

Mrs. Liu was so relieved by her mother-in-law's call that she walked out with her head held high and her chest high.

All the regrets, guilt, and uneasiness that had been felt since Jiang Jintao's engagement were all gone from Liu's mind the moment she saw Chen Tianwen.

Thinking about her son-in-law's upright appearance, noble aura, good etiquette, and great respect for her mother-in-law, Ms. Liu felt that this was truly a good match for her daughter given by God.

Any joy has become a trivial matter.

Standing at the door of Jiang Jintao's house, Mrs. Liu raised her hand to knock on the door, not to ask them to open the door, but to tell them that the person inside to pick up the bride was coming, so be ready.

As soon as he raised his hand, Chen Tianwen interrupted Liu's movement: "Mother-in-law, seeing that it's getting late, I wonder if I can be a little more accommodating."
