Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 131
It's already winter in the north in October, and it's snowing outside, and people usually have two meals a day.At the end of the hour, after the Xu family had breakfast, people came outside one after another to add makeup to the bride.Jingya is still dressed in red today, sitting on the kang in the old lady's room in the front yard.The red all over suits Jingya's skin better than snow, delicate and moving.

Xu Chengkuan's cousins ​​and sisters-in-law all came with their sons and daughters-in-law. Xu's family doesn't have many relatives here, and Xue's family has no natal family, so there are not many people who add makeup.There are a few villages who get along well with Mrs. Xue, and they also come to add makeup.Ordinary people are nothing more than a ruler, or a few handkerchiefs, or purses and the like.Xu Chengkuan's sister-in-law gave a silver hairpin, and her two daughters-in-law jointly gave a pair of silver bracelets.

"Sister-in-law, look at you, why do you use such expensive things? The same goes for the two nieces and daughter-in-law, and the children in the family are not young. It's time to spend money." This person, Mrs. Chen, always loves to spend money. For the sake of others, so when I saw these things, I couldn't help but say.

"This is a happy event for our family, what's the matter? As a grandma, I can't give something to my granddaughter? The two of them are aunts and aunts, why don't they give some goodies?" Xu Chengkuan's cousin said with a smile .

Just as Chen was about to say something, someone came in from outside. "Second aunt, my father and mother can't come, let us two come to make up for my niece." It was the two nephews and niece-in-law of Chen's second brother's family who came in.

When Mrs. Chen saw her natal family, she was even more delighted, "Hurry up, Xiaofu, Xiaoshun, bring your two nephews and daughters-in-law over here." After Huixin got married, the Xu family and the Chen family gradually resumed walking around. Every New Year's Eve, Mrs. Chen would also send people to visit her second brother and second sister-in-law.This time Jingya got married, but she also told the Chen family. "Is your father and mother okay?" Mrs. Chen is now old, and the past grievances have long been forgotten, and now there is only such a second elder brother who is still walking around, so he often misses it.

"Second aunt, my father and mother are fine, but they are too old to move around, so they let us come and have a look." Chen Tianfu said.

Chen Tianfu's wife, Mrs. Qin, looked at Jingya carefully, and couldn't help boasting, "Second aunt, people say that women have changed at the age of [-], which is true. Look at our Jingya, we look so graceful. Not to mention, this quiet and elegant appearance. It really looks a bit like Huixin's sister. The daughters of the second aunt's family are all good-looking." After speaking, Qin took out a pair of silver The anklet came out and put it in the tray. "Niece, I prepared this for you in partnership with your second cousin. The meaning of this pair of anklets is that no matter where you go, you must always think about your mother's family."

Jingya nodded hastily, "Thank you first cousin, second cousin, Jingya remembered."

There are indeed not many relatives in the Xu family, and they all put on makeup one by one. In the end, it was the turn of the two sisters-in-law Zhu and Han, and Huixin.Mrs. Zhu took out a red gold phoenix hairpin, while Mrs. Han took out a jade hairpin.When Mrs. Zhu saw it, she said, "Okay, fourth brother and sister, I just asked you what to add to Jingya, but you didn't say anything. After a long time of trouble, you actually took out such a good hairpin. Are you going to give it to me?" I'll compare, right?" Mrs. Zhu was just joking, the sisters-in-law got along more and more harmoniously in the past few years, that's why they said that.

"Third sister-in-law, yours is not bad, yours is pure gold. I think the weight is not light, and the gifts from the two of us are not much different." Han said with a smile.Then she looked back at Huixin, "Little sister, you are the finale, let's see what you have prepared for Jingya, shall we?"

Huixin smiled, and took out a mutton fat jade Ruyi, which was engraved with many small figures of different shapes, each of which was lifelike. "Jingya, my aunt sent you a hundred sons. I hope that after you enter the Yue family, you can spread the branches and leaves for the Yue family as soon as possible and give birth to a precious son."

As soon as this ruyi was taken out, the big guys stopped talking. This jade ruyi was warm and transparent, and the carvings on it were exquisite, and it couldn't be bought for a few dozen taels of silver.

"Auntie, this is too precious." Jingya hesitated.

"Silly boy, this is what my aunt has been preparing for several years, and it's just for you. You can keep it with peace of mind, it's a good item." Huixin smiled softly, her insistence in her tone didn't allow Jingya to refuse.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said from the side, "Okay, the makeup is over. Everyone, let's talk in the living room. Jingya can't go to the ground today, so she can just sit on the kang."

Everyone followed Mrs. Chen to the living room outside, Hong Lian brought tea and snacks, and everyone drank tea and laughed together.

At the beginning of Weishi, the number of people who came to Hexi gradually increased. The male guests were received by Zhiming and Zhide, while the female guests were received by Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Han.Lin Zixuan's parents also came, and when the Xing family came, they helped greet the guests outside.

"Xingjia, why don't you come in and sit down, how can I let you, a guest, help out?" Zhixin happened to see Xingjia, and felt a little embarrassed, so he had to let him in and sit down.

"Brother, what do we have to share between you and me? You hurry up, brother, I'll greet the guests here for you." Xingjia waved Zhixin away.

At the end of the hour, the sound of blowing and beating was heard in the distance.When the children heard it, they were all happy. This is the bridegroom official.

Jinghan hurriedly instructed Wenxuan, Wenchang, Mingyu and Ziwen to run outside the gate, and blocked the gate to prevent the welcoming people from entering.

All these people who came to congratulate him were all stunned, what is the Xu family going to do?The local custom does not say so.Everyone couldn't help opening their eyes wide, watching what these little people were going to do.

The welcoming team came to the door of Xu's house, and saw eight drummers lined up in front of them, and then the groom's official.Yue Pengcheng was wearing a bright red wedding dress, riding on a big bay red horse with a smile on his face, with a red cross on his chest, even the horse's head was tied with red silk, making him look even more beaming.

Peng Cheng came to the gate on horseback, and when he saw Wen Xuan's posture, he knew it was not good.This must be Jinghan's idea, just to make things difficult for him.Fortunately, Jinghan had spoken out before, so Pengcheng had already prepared for it. "Sister Jinghan, brother Wenxuan, brother Wenchang, what are you all doing?" Pengcheng asked Jinghan and the others.

Jinghan came to the front with a smile, "Brother Pengcheng, I have already said that if you want us to call you brother-in-law, you have to show sincerity. If you don't prepare enough red envelopes today, I'm sorry. Please go back home. If you can't pass our test, you will never come in and marry my eldest sister." Jinghan doesn't care about the rules or irregularities, if she doesn't make it difficult for Yue Pengcheng today, how can she feel at ease?
Yue Pengcheng smiled wryly, having such a quirky little sister-in-law is really enough to bear. "Red envelopes, right? That's easy." Pengcheng waved his hand, and the servant who had been following him came forward with a large basket of red envelopes and handed the basket to Pengcheng.

Carrying the basket, Pengcheng grabbed a handful of red envelopes and threw them into the sky, "If you want red envelopes, then grab them."

The children watching the excitement nearby all rushed forward to grab the red envelopes.Today is a time to join in the fun, and no one will be annoyed.The children fought for each other, and finally picked up all the red envelopes.When I opened the red envelope, I found that there were twenty Wen coins inside, and the children jumped up happily.

Pengcheng originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and enter the yard, but he didn't expect that Jinghan and the others didn't even move, just watching the red envelopes being snatched away by others.Pengcheng looked at Jinghan, who was smiling maliciously, with a headache, "Jinghan, tell me, what else do you want?"

"Brother Pengcheng, you are too petty. You dare to come to welcome the bride with twenty coins in a red envelope? If you don't show some sincerity today, you won't be able to enter this door." Jinghan still smiled look.

Yue Pengcheng knew that if there was no blood today, he might be stopped outside the door.So he asked the servants around him to bring out several red envelopes, and each of these red envelopes contained five pieces of a tael of silver.Peng Cheng signaled the boy to distribute the red envelopes to Jing Han and the others.

The boy was also clever, handing out red envelopes one by one.Jingwan, Jingxian, Wenxuan, Wenchang, and Mingyu each received a red envelope, and when they arrived at Jinghan's place, the servant gave Jinghan two red envelopes. "Miss Jinghan, I hope you will show your noble hand and let my young master in." The servant said in a low voice.

Jinghan weighed the red envelope in his hand and knew that there were almost ten taels of silver in it. Jinghan understood the principle of accepting it as soon as it was good, so she said, "Okay, I will let you go this time. Brother-in-law, you can come in now .” Jinghan turned her body sideways.

Everyone laughed at this moment, saying that they had never seen such a commotion.

Wenhan hurriedly came out from the inside and led the horse for Pengcheng.Zhixin also came out, and after glaring at Jinghan, he stepped forward and stuffed a red envelope into Pengcheng's waist.

Only then did Pengcheng get off his horse and walked into the yard, followed by the welcoming team behind him.

Pengcheng first entered the living room, kowtowed to the old man and the old lady, and then came out of the room again.

At this time, someone shouted, "The new uncle is here to welcome you, let's start the banquet."

As a result, the Xu family's yard began to be busy for a while, and the helping daughters-in-law began to serve dishes to each house.Now that it's already cold, of course we can't have a banquet outside, so we arrange the male guests in several rooms in the front yard, and the female guests in the backyard rooms.Jinghan and the others had to come to help, everyone worked together, and quickly put together the food and wine.

The people from the Yue family who welcomed the bride naturally arranged two separate tables, with people from the Xu family accompanying them to drink.
