Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 30: Serving tea and recognizing relatives
The Gu family always gets up early, or in other words, very few people in the villagers get up late.Gu Wenxuan vaguely heard the sound of sweeping the floor and greeting each other outside.

Subconsciously he looked at Zhou Banxia in his arms. At this time, the dragon and phoenix candles had been burned out in the early morning, and the room was still dark, but he could feel that his wife was sleeping soundly.

Holding my wife in my arms, the quilt is so warm that I really don’t want to get up.Considering that there were still a series of rituals to be completed today, Gu Wenxuan gently let go of Zhou Banxia.

Reaching out to lift the hanging curtains, the sky was getting brighter outside. It was almost five or six o'clock. It should not be Chen hour, but Mao hour.

Silently exchanging modern time with hours in his mind, Gu Wenxuan shook his head helplessly, still accustomed to estimating time in hours.

"what time is it?"

After getting off the kang, lighting a lamp, and lowering a corner of the curtain, Gu Wenxuan was about to go to the clean room to wash his hands, when he heard a voice halfway, and he quickly ran to the kang with a guilty conscience.

"Before dawn."

"You really don't need to prepare breakfast?"

"No need! 'Go to the kitchen for three days, wash your hands and make soup. I don't know my aunt's food habits, so I'll let my sister-in-law taste it first.' That means you don't have to go into the kitchen for these three days."

Besides, it's not our second room's turn today, and Shiro and his wife are blocking the way in front of him, so he's worried about something.Think about it again, have I ever lied to you? "

This kind of thing shouldn't be a joke.Zhou Banxia shook his head, covered his mouth and breathed twice in succession.Blinking again, he felt much more awake.

"The other side hasn't gotten up yet, so lie down for a while. I'll clean the room first, and when I come out, it won't be too late for you to get up again. It's okay, it's six o'clock at most now."

Zhou Banxia hummed, not bothering to argue with him about what time it was.Seeing Gu Wenxuan going to clean the room, he cheered up, sat up, put on his clothes and got down on the kang.

Gu Wenxuan knew that she couldn't lie down. When he came out again, he saw that Zhou Banxia was already dressed. He simply took the washing supplies, opened the door with a wooden bucket and went to wash outside.

Zhou Banxia was not polite to him. It would be impossible for her to go outside to freshen up.She went directly to the clean room, entered the space to use the bathroom, and then washed her face with cold water.

After dressing up and coming out, Gu Wenxuan had already returned to the room, even the mattresses on the kang were neatly tidied.It was pretty fast, and it would have been better if the box hadn't disappeared.

Gu Wenxuan followed her gaze and chuckled.This kind of thing can't be avoided.Yuanpa represents whether the marriage has been successfully consummated and whether the body is perfect.

The most important thing is that the matchmaker should come to confirm that the matchmaker she arranged is okay before serving tea.Although the matchmaker can still receive another red envelope, the matchmaker is also worried about damaging his reputation.

Like this time, the Zhou family said that their third daughter was innocent, but some people would inevitably question whether Zhou Ya was handsome and had been taken over by her master in a wealthy family.

At this time Yuan Pa is the most powerful evidence.It proved that Zhou Ya was indeed innocent and returned home from a wealthy family in perfect condition, and no one would doubt her in the future.

Zhou Banxia glanced at him sideways, how could he not know this?She had also heard that some of the people who fell into disgrace were sent back to their parents' homes to be hanged, but she just couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

Just thinking that someone might be looking at this private thing right now is horrifying.It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, just be patient and let it pass. Otherwise, what can you do if you are considered unchaste?
This nonsense of the world!

While talking, the sound of firecrackers crackled outside.

Zhou Banxia was terribly embarrassed, but he also knew that the sound of firecrackers was the Gu family's announcement to the world of their new daughter-in-law's virginity, indicating that the man had accepted her as part of the family.

With this blood-stained chastity veil, the elders will accept the new daughter-in-law, serve tea and recognize her as relatives, take the new daughter-in-law to the ancestral hall to worship and pray to the ancestors, and then record her in the family tree. Only then will it be considered The wedding ceremony is over. "Can you help me see if I can pass through this way?"

Gu Wenxuan tried his best to hold back his laughter and took a step back, "She's very beautiful. She's more beautiful than a flower." Thanks to Zhou Ya's cleverness and knowing how to hide her clumsiness, otherwise she wouldn't be good with her appearance.Zhou Banxia couldn't help but chuckle, she also felt that she was quite beautiful. "Let's go, bring something to serve tea, it won't be pretty if you keep people waiting."

Wearing red coats and skirts and embroidered shoes, the two of them brought gifts and left the room, then waited for Gu Silang and his wife from the new house in the west wing opposite to come out.

Even though it was a group wedding yesterday, it was the first time she met Gu Silang and his wife.Especially Gu Silang's wife, what a sin, she doesn't look like she is 15 years old at all.

I heard that she is an aunt and cousin with a good family background. She is an old woman and has a skill in weaving. She just doesn't have to pay the single tax before she gets married when she is sixteen.

Xiao Guduo was shy. When Zhou Banxia called out the fourth sister-in-law's salute, her eyes were red and swollen and her face turned red. She was really afraid that she would have to be coaxed if she cried.

Poor see.

Fortunately, today's little girl is precocious, but she can hold it in without crying, and can still return the favor and call her sixth younger brother and sister, and also call Xuanzi sixth younger brother.

The main hall.

A room full of people.

The old couple of the Gu family were already sitting in the middle of the main room, bowing their heads.The eldest room Gu Yangwen and his wife Xiaotian sat at the bottom on the left side of the second elder. The second room Gu Erzhu and his wife Liu sat at the right side of the second elder. The couples in the other two rooms sat down in order according to their respective order. The children of each room were either at the side or at the table. back.

When Zhou Banxia heard the children shouting in front of the hall door that Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother had brought the bride, Zhou Banxia saw Xiao Guduo walking in front tremble all over.

Logically speaking, the marriage was not between an aunt and a cousin. Xiao Guduo's mother should also be a daughter of the Tian family and Mrs. Gu's niece. The Tian and Gu families have always had contact with each other after three generations of marriages.

There is nothing to be afraid of.

Mrs. Liu, who saw Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia coming in behind Gu Silang and his wife, waved to her youngest son and daughter-in-law to come to her side.

Zhou Banxia had a keen eye, and as soon as Mrs. Liu stretched out her right hand, she bowed her head slightly with a shy look on her face, walked neatly to the right, stood beside her mother-in-law and smiled lightly.

This time I was lucky enough to meet everyone in the Gu family. There were only about 40 or [-] people in the room, but the people in the fourth room stood and sat in clear distinctions, which was easy to recognize at a glance, which was very convenient for recognizing relatives.

The eldest family has four sons and one daughter.

One, three, four, and seven men, plus a second girl, now the three sons are married, the second of them has children, and the youngest, seven men, is about to grow up.

The second bedroom has two sons and one daughter, the second son and the sixth son, namely Xuanzi, and the young baby Baoya; the third bedroom has two sons and two daughters, the fifth son and the eighth son, as well as the eldest daughter and the third daughter, both of whom are unmarried.

Finally, there is a couple with four bedrooms. They are in their late thirties. They also have two sons and a daughter, but they are still young and there is a high chance of having another child.

There are quite a lot of people in this big family. Not counting the pregnant women and their children, there are already 31 people present.Looking at the big room again, Zhou Banxia finally understood.

There is no unreasonable preference in the world. Uncle Gu looks like his father, and the eldest son Gu Dalang is even more like his grandfather. He always respects his grandfather when he makes tea.

Furthermore, given the current tradition of valuing direct descendants and eldest sons, the elderly have to live with their eldest son. Regardless of the interests, other children and grandchildren are really not unfair in losing.
