Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 439 Erlang Marriage (1)
After reading it, Lin Xiaoqiao threw the posts aside and told Uncle Lu to push them one by one.

Let's not talk about it, they just came back yesterday, and they haven't rested yet. There is no reason to rush to other people's houses for a banquet, and let's talk about my own family. There is not enough time to be busy with the next one after another. How can there be that leisure time? What flowers to enjoy, what wine to eat.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the flowing water banquet two days later, and then entertain relatives and friends who keep coming to the door. Lin Xiaoqiao can almost imagine that his family will be as busy as a spinning top in the next few days Scenes.

The whole afternoon, Lin Xiaoqiao stayed in Li Shi's room, teasing Ang Geer occasionally, and spent most of the time discussing with Li Shi about the schedule of things that the family would be busy with next.

As the evening approached, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Zhou came to the door again. This time, the old couple did not make a fuss at all. They only came to remind Lin Erniu not to forget to bring their children back to the village to worship their ancestors.

When Mr. Lin spoke, his expression was quite agitated, while Mrs. Zhou kept silent, hiding behind Mr. Lin, completely different from the usual sloppy behavior like in the past, and Lin Xiaoqiao even followed her There was a little awe in his eyes.

After Mr. Lin got his son's accurate answer, he led Mrs. Zhou to leave. Originally, before he left, he wanted to see with his own eyes his two grandsons who had great promise.

However, the two brothers Dalang Erlang were not there, so Mr. Lin had no choice but to give up.

Seeing this, Lin Erniu and Mrs. Li persuaded the old couple to stay and have a meal before sending them back, but Mr. Lin insisted on refusing. After thinking about it, he asked Lin Erniu to send someone to send them home. sent them back to the village.

Looking at the old man's changes, Lin Xiaoqiao has to say that this old man is really a smart person, and he hopes that he can continue to be so knowledgeable. In that case, she won't mind, and she will give the two elders more pension money so that they can grow old. The couple was able to spend their old age in peace.

Two days later, after three years, Lin's mansion once again held a large banquet. This time, there were more guests than three years ago, and even the county magistrate was very kind. , appeared on the mat of the flowing water mat.

Although, the time to show his face is short, but it is enough to explain a problem, the Lin family is really developed, and even the county old man can condescend to come to eat the Lin family's flowing water banquet.

The next day, Lin Erniu returned to the village with a family member. This time, the welcome ceremony was even more solemn. The whole village, regardless of gender, age or age, was led by the village head and stood at the entrance of the village waiting for their family.

Dalang Erlang brothers followed Lin Erniu, got out of the carriage, exchanged greetings with the villagers, and went straight to the ancestral hall in the village.

Less than a year later, the ancestral hall in Shanglin Village is no longer a small dilapidated brick house in the past, but has become a grand secondary courtyard.

This is also due to Lin Xiaoqiao's family. If they hadn't used the money to repair and rebuild, the Lin's ancestral hall would not have the current style.

Because of this incident, the villagers of Shanglin Village are very grateful for the kindness of Lin Xiaoqiao's family. In addition, the village head will deliberately promote and praise in front of the villagers from time to time. Even though Lin Xiaoqiao's family does not live in the village , but the word of mouth in the village is very good.

After paying homage to the ancestral hall in the village, Lin Erniu took the two brothers Dalang Erlang to the old house, and together with Mr. Lin, Lin Erniu and Lin Xiaoniu, they worshiped their ancestors.

Mrs. Li brought Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Lin back to her house to rest for a while. The two sisters-in-law sat and talked for a while, and then heard a servant report that Mrs. Liu had come.

Mrs. Li frowned. Although she was very unhappy, she was invited over.

Today, Mrs. Liu is wearing a dark red half-worn cotton dress, with three or two plain silver hairpins stuck in her hair. Although she doesn't look downcast, she can't hide the old look on her face. It can be seen that her life is not very satisfactory.

Moreover, since Mrs. Liu entered the house, she flattered Mrs. Li and Lin Xiaoqiao in every possible way, and the arrogance of the past was no longer seen in her eyes.

Seeing Liu's flattering and careful look, Li couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, it's really Feng Shui's turn!

Who would have thought that Liu Shi, who was arrogant and used to bullying his sister-in-law back then, would be so careful to please her now.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li became more and more bored looking at Mrs. Liu, so she asked someone to bring a few feet of cotton cloth and a silver hairpin to send her away.

When Mrs. Zhao saw her, she couldn't help saying a few words, "Second sister-in-law doesn't need to be so polite at all. If she is really impatient, she can just send her away with a few words. Why give her something. She With that temper, maybe I got the sweetness this time, and next time I will have the cheek to ask you what to do?"

Mrs. Li didn't care, and said with a smile, "Forget it, I don't bother to argue with her anymore. Those things in the past are all in the past, and I can't even hate Mrs. Liu now. I just feel that she is a bit pitiful. I think back then, she was among our sisters-in-law, what a beauty it was, but now, it is—"

Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything after hearing this, but Lin Xiaoqiao remembered something and asked, "I haven't seen Lin Jiao from the big house today, so I don't know how she is doing now? Speaking of which, she He is also a pitiful person, and his heart is not bad, if he hadn't been manipulated by Mrs. Liu in the early years, and then dragged down by Mrs. Liu, how could he have come to this point!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao both sighed a little. After a while, Mrs. Zhao said, "Lin Jiao has already married and is no longer in this village."

Lin Xiaoqiao was very surprised when he heard the news, "She's not that—how could—"

"Ah—it's because she is disabled, and her life at home is not going well. Not only are the folks in the village pointing at her, but even your grandma often sees her as an eyesore, and swears a few words to poke her heart from time to time. Lin Jiao has such a temperament, how can she bear it, so she begged Liu to find a marriage for her. The other party is a widower, a little older, but it is said that he is a dutiful farmer, and, With her reputation, she didn't dare to look for a close relative, so in the end she picked someone who was far away from home... Just this spring, when she was married, your mother and I also thought about her pity, so we came to marry her. Make-up, and also gave some money in private..."

Time flies, and a month has passed. At the end of June, the Lin family received a letter from the capital, telling them that the marriage between Da Lang and the third Miss of the Wen family has been settled, and they are only waiting to choose an auspicious day to get married.

The eldest son's marriage has already been settled, so Li began to think about Erlang's marriage.

Ever since Dalang Erlang won two exams, the Lin family had matchmakers coming to the door from time to time, but at that time, the two brothers were all focused on gaining fame, and Mrs. Li didn't want to force the two sons, so she followed their wishes and sent those All the matchmakers who came to say goodbye were sent away.
