Fair Lady

"Admit the wrong person?" Shuwen joked about Shuyao, "Isn't my sister seeing that little fat man as Brother Dun'er again?"

Last time on Yulin Street, Shuyao saw a fat man in front of her and asked Shuwen, "Brother Dun'er is back?"

Shujie and Shuwen brothers laughed when they saw it. Their backs looked like Zhong Jiayi from two years ago.Shujie tapped Shuyao's forehead lightly: "You're the only one who grows taller, and Chiayi doesn't grow taller? Are you still so tall after two years?"

Shuyao was taken aback, wasn't she?Shuwen has grown a lot taller. Zhong Jiayi was taller than Shuwen before, so he shouldn't be shorter than Shuwen now, right?Immediately she laughed mischievously. In her eyes, Zhong Jiayi was just a cute chubby guy, and this image had become synonymous with him.

Now when Shuwen mentioned that incident again, Shuyao herself also thought it was funny, yes, it was not the first time that she had identified the wrong person, and she also took it for granted, it was ridiculous.

The five of them were chatting and laughing, when they suddenly heard the crackling sound of firecrackers, which was deafening.

Mother Liu signaled Shuyao, Shuwen, and Lan Jin to cover their ears, and looked out of the window for a while.It wasn't until the sound of firecrackers stopped that he smiled and said: "It should be here." Usually, the new wife's natal family sends people to wait at the street corner where her mansion is located. When they see the welcoming team coming, they will set off firecrackers. On the one hand, it is a convention On the other hand, it is also to inform the bride and the people in the house to prepare.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and the voice of the round-faced happy woman came from outside the car: "Two boys, get out of the car and accompany the groom to pick up the new wife."

The Shuyao siblings cheerfully got out of the car and walked behind Zhen Kebao.The six "welcoming brothers" also got off their horses and gathered here. They will help the groom "pass the test" and deal with the "difficulties" of the bride's natal brothers.

Zhen Kebao was very happy to see the bright smiles on Shuyao's sister and brother, who looked like a pair of blessing dolls. The two dolls gave him a lot of face.

As soon as I entered the gate of Zhu's house, I saw the bride's natal brothers (cousins) and sisters and sisters-in-law standing at the second gate from a distance. Ke Bao smiled and said, "We won't make things difficult for you. There are only three questions today. If you pass the test, we will simply let you in."

"Brothers Greeting the Kiss" is gearing up, and they are well prepared to come.

"For the first question, recite a poem to express your love for our sister." The second master of the Zhu family came up with the question first.

This is a "routine question" and must be answered by the groom himself.Zhen Kebao cleared his throat, "It is rumored that the candle will be lowered to adjust the red powder, and the spring will be in front of the mirror stage. You don't need to be full of makeup, but keep your eyebrows ready for painting." This is the most common "makeup reminder poem", expressing the groom's willingness to make The heart of the "thrushcrosser".At the same time, he also urged the bride to go down to the embroidery building as soon as possible, so as not to miss the auspicious time.

"Pass. The second question is arithmetic. Both of us are businessmen, so we don't need to learn the couplets of those officials and scholars. It's practical. My sister's dowry silver is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. Two dowry Zhuangzi is worth 99 taels, a rouge shop, excluding monthly profit. The value of the shop alone is 600 taels, and all kinds of clothing, jewelry, medicinal materials, supplements and sundries are 600 taels. Large furniture is 500 taels. Do the math, I How much is the girl's dowry in total?"

"Twenty-six thousand 690 nine taels" The answer of the book is almost a follow-up to the question of the second master of the Zhu family, that is to say, the second master of the Zhu family has just reported the number, and the book has already added the total.

Everyone was stunned. Someone in "Welcome Brothers" was complaining that the young master of the Zhu family spoke too quickly before he had time to write it down. Someone just took the abacus handed over by the servants of the Zhu family and prepared to dial the beads. Shut up, is this kid yelling indiscriminately?

The second master of the Zhu family who reported the dowry of course knew that the number was correct, and he was not yelling. He looked at the text in disbelief: "You... you... young master, you just heard the number from our house. Did someone say it?"

Shuwen looked puzzled: "Didn't you just report it? I added it wrong?"

"No, no, that's right, the second level has passed. Young master, are you the second young master of the Xia family? The bridegroom boy?" The eyes of the second master of the Zhu family were shining brightly.The similar appearance and dress of Shuyao and Shuwen made him guess their identities immediately.These two children are twins, and their horoscopes are almost the same. Shuyao is blessed, so is Shuwen the same?Look, before the beads of the abacus can be removed, this child has already calculated the total, he is a fairy boy!Uh, they will be relatives with Xia Zhai in the future.

Their family members were still discussing last night, asking their younger sister to have a good relationship with the Xia Zhai brothers and sisters in the future, so don't be foolish with Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Lin.What do businesses need most?Of course, it was to take advantage of the situation. Xia Zhai seemed to have no momentum, but the backing behind him was powerful.Moreover, their blessings are profound. I heard that both brothers are studying materials, so Xia Shujie participated in the imperial examination this year, and he applied for both the civil and martial arts examinations.

Zhen Kebao hurriedly replied: "Yes, they are today's welcoming boys, my cousins."

In fact, everyone is very curious about how Shuwen can calculate so quickly at such a young age, and he has never seen an abacus in his hand.But there is an auspicious time to welcome the bride, so it's really not easy to get entangled with this right now. The Zhu family asked this question just to show off the bride's dowry.

The second master of the Zhu family took the lead, and those masters of the Zhu family who stopped at the second gate at this moment, as long as they were older than Shuyao Shuwen, all took out the red envelopes they had prepared earlier.

What's even more funny is that the two women of the Zhu family took two exquisitely woven red panniers and handed them to Shangjin and Lanjin. They were also clever, and immediately put on the red panniers and followed their master.Mother Liu pursed her lips meaningfully, this Zhu Fu is really smart.

The people in the wedding party are all envious. Generally speaking, the elders of the bride's natal family have to give red envelopes to the wedding boy, but brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters of the same generation can give it or not, most of them don't give it.And this Zhu family is too generous, right?Not to mention older than the bride and groom, as long as they are older than the Shuyao brothers and sisters, they are all good things.Of course, most of them knew that if two young boys came, they would not be so lucky.

A few people, such as Lin's eldest nephew in "Welcome Brothers", his eyes turned green with jealousy. Originally, his younger brother came to be the wedding boy, and all the good things belonged to their family. This is really a big loss.

Although Zhen Kebao was also envious and heartbroken, he knew very well that Shuyao's siblings were the "marriage boys" that the Zhu family insisted on, and they were not only interested in Shuyao's fate.If Ke Ling and his cousin came today, the treatment would definitely be much worse.Moreover, Shuwen's quick mental calculation just now made him less and less afraid to underestimate Xia Zhai's three cousins.

Another son of the Zhu family gave the red envelope and announced loudly: "The third question is to bravely pick the fairy peach."

Everyone looked in the direction of the young man's finger. There was a peach-shaped lantern hanging on the tallest branch of a big tree in front. The height was estimated to be as high as the combined height of three people. Put Zhen Kebao on the shelf to "pick the fairy peach bravely".

Zhen Kebao fainted when he saw it, he is afraid of heights.

"Welcome Brothers" also had a mournful face, they are usually those who can't lift their shoulders or lift their hands, stacking arhats?May I?Can I have a ladder?They were planning to show off the meager amount of ink in their stomachs today.

Shuwen glanced at the group of people with disdain, turned to Zhu's family and asked, "Do you have to go up and pick it yourself?"

Second Master Zhu thought that the child was going to climb the tree, so he said with a smile: "No, as long as it's someone from your Zhen's residence who came to greet the relatives. But it's on a branch, it's very dangerous to climb over."

Lin Chong, the eldest nephew of the Lin family, hurriedly booed: "Children are the best at climbing trees. They are also light. The branches are so thick that they will not break. Their siblings are very lucky." What a blessing, You deserve it if you fall to your death, it's better to fall half to death, see if anyone still says what kind of shit luck they have?

Zhen Kebao's heart sank, how could the Lin family be so brainless and short-sighted?This is in the Zhu family. Didn't you see that the Zhu family attaches great importance to the Shuyao siblings?Besides, today is his big wedding, if Shuwen gets hurt somewhere, won't that Xia Shujie tear him up?

Zhen Kebao didn't like this cousin who was half a year older than him and was addicted to wine and sex all day long. The last time he was cheated into buying food was also Lin Chong's fault.But because he refused his younger cousin to be a bridegroom boy, his mother insisted that he take Lin Chong as a "welcome brother", otherwise it would be too embarrassing for her mother's family.

Zhen Kebao was about to open his mouth to stop Shuwen, only to see Shuwen "hum" contemptuously at Lin Chong, and the red figure flew up, took off the lantern on the branch, and landed gently in front of Zhen Kebao: " for you."

... There was silence, and for a while, crackling applause sounded from the Zhu family's side, and then the wedding reception team from Zhen's residence also applauded...

Lin Chong's face turned white and red, red turned purple, purple turned black...

The second master of the Zhu family suddenly realized: "It's really a tiger with no dogs! I almost forgot that your father is the first arrester in Yulin, and your elder brother also practiced martial arts since childhood. How can you not know martial arts? It's so beautiful. The third Pass!" The Zhu family must find a way to get along with the three brothers and sisters of Xia Zhai, the young one has this skill, and the big one's martial arts is worth looking forward to!Strength plus luck, and backing, Xia Zhai will be launched sooner or later!

Zhen Kebao was shocked, thinking of their previous plan to kill Shujie, fortunately they could not be implemented, otherwise... not to mention whether it can be done or not is still a question, even if it is a fluke, the book is not so easy to handle, and it will even be better than the book. Shujie was even more difficult to deal with, because he didn't have Shujie's scruples, and he might beat them to death when he got angry.How powerful was that uncle's martial arts before he was alive?

Zhen Kebao took a deep breath and calmed down. In any case, Shuwen helped him solve a problem right now, or he really didn't know how to take down the lantern? (To be continued.
