peasant girl wedding

Chapter 82
The candlelight flickered, leaving a figure of different heights on the paper window, making the room warm.

Tong Zhixin looked at Fang Cuiwei, and nodded heavily, "I also don't want Zhi'er to get married so early, so I made an engagement with Dong Ping and kept her at home for two years. In the past two years, let's prepare a dowry for Zhi'er." .”

"Hey——" Fang Cuiwei narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"That's great, big sister!" Tong Zhu'er said happily.

Tong Zhi'er held Tong Duo'er's hand, and she was also happy in her heart.Tong Duo'er is only fourteen, it's too young to marry at this age.Unfortunately, this is an ancient custom. Fortunately, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei want to keep her at home for two more years because they are reluctant to part with their daughter.

.........

As soon as Mrs. Yun came out of Tong's house, she went to Dong Ping's house on the other side of the forest, and told him the good news impatiently.

"Doctor Dong, you just wait to go to Tong's house to get hired." Aunt Yun just walked to the door and said loudly with a smile.

Dong Ping, who had no intention of tending herbs, came out immediately, blushing and excitedly said: "Lao Yun is here."

"Doctor Dong, you have to tell me when you will drink the wedding wine."

Dong Ping nodded, "This is for sure, Mrs. Yun, I will take you out."

"Hey……"

After sending Aunt Yun away, Dong Ping returned to his house, unable to calm down for a long time.

After a long time, when his mood finally returned to normal, he went to the pharmacy, took up a pen and wrote a letter to his family, and wrote in the letter that he invited someone to Tong's house to say goodbye.

Three days later, Xinglin Dong's family.

"Master, the young master has a letter." The servant excitedly took the letter from Dong Ping and ran to the back of the main house to show Dong Ping's parents.

"A letter from Ping'er..." Old Doctor Dong smiled slightly, and the creases on his face showed deep marks.

The servant immediately presented the letter to him.

Old Doctor Dong took a look, and saw that the girl Dong Ping asked someone to marry was a peasant girl, with a smile on her face.

In the backyard, Mrs. Dong, who heard the news, also ran over in a hurry, "Is there a letter from Ping'er? Where is it? Show me..."

Old doctor Dong will give her the letter.

Madam Dong took the letter with trembling hands. This was the first letter sent to them by Dong Ping, who had been away from home for nearly a year. Madam Dong, who had been concerned about Dong Ping for a long time, was naturally overjoyed and excited at the moment. of.

Mrs. Dong carefully looked at every word on the letter, knowing that Dong Ping was going to be engaged, she was very happy in her heart, but she was not so satisfied with the woman's identity as the daughter of a farmer.

Dong Ping is a doctor, and to marry a wife doesn't have to be a doctor, or have medical skills, but a peasant girl, this is really...

Aside from these, Mrs. Dong was very happy with her son's letter.

"Ma'am, Ping'er said that he wants to marry this girl named Tong Duo'er, and he has asked someone to marry her. Shall we find some time to go and have a look?"

Seeing that Mrs. Dong had read the letter, Old Doctor Dong said.

"It should be," Mrs. Dong nodded while looking at the letter.

Maybe there is something special about that girl, otherwise, Ping'er wouldn't have taken a liking to her girl?
Even though they were dissatisfied with Tong Duo'er's background, Old Doctor Dong and Mrs. Dong didn't beat people to death with a single shot, but expressed very openly that they wanted to meet the girl.

After the husband and wife discussed it, the old doctor Dong wrote back a letter, telling Dong Ping that they would arrive in seven days.

After hundreds of years of development, Xinglin Dong's family has many branches.Several brothers and sisters-in-law of this generation of patriarchs, as well as children of brothers and uncles lived in each courtyard of the main house.

After a while, Dong Ping sent a letter, and word of the marriage with the peasant girl spread among Dong's family.

The wife of the second room and the wife of the third room smiled, "Peasant girl? Can the eldest brother and sister-in-law agree?"

"Oh, Ping'er is really promising. He actually found a peasant girl."

"I heard from my servant that elder brother and elder sister-in-law will visit this girl's house in a few days, and when they come back, they will know everything." The fourth wife covered her mouth and smiled.

The second wife nodded, secretly happy in her heart.

If Dong Ping insisted on marrying a farmer's daughter, with only one son in the big house, Dong Ping would not be the one who would inherit the Dong family in the future.After all, the ancestors would not allow a peasant girl to be the mistress of Xinglin Dong's family.

……

Dong Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he received a letter from his family.

Dong Ping went to Tong's house with some things he bought in the county and the herbs he picked himself to nourish his body.

"Doctor Dong, please come inside." Fang Cuiwei welcomed Dong Ping into the house, and quickly asked Tong Zhu'er, who was feeding chickens and ducks in the chicken coop, to call back Tong Zhixin who was working.

Tong Zhier brewed hot tea and brought it over to Dong Ping.

Dong Ping thanked him and took it very politely.

Fang Cuiwei took a seat opposite Dong Ping, and looked at Dong Ping carefully. He used to look at Dong Ping as a doctor, but now he looks at his son-in-law.Looking at this, Fang Cuiwei became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

Dong Ping was tall and handsome, and he was born with a good-looking talent. He was kind and gentle to others, and had a good temper.

Regarding Fang Cuiwei's sizing up, Dong Ping smiled generously, took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and asked, "What is Duoer doing at home?"

He said that because he wanted to meet Tong Duo'er.

Right now, the two of them are not engaged, set a date, and there is no need to shy away from seeing each other.Besides, Fang Cuiwei also felt sorry for her daughter, knowing that she definitely wanted to see Dong Ping, she asked Tong Zhi'er to call her out of the house.

In the room, Tong Duo'er, who had heard the voice a long time ago, put down all the work in her hands the moment Dong Ping spoke, and sat on the dressing table nervously and shyly dressing herself up.

Tong Duo'er was not very proficient at using rouge for the first time, some places on her cheeks were thick and some places were thinner, when Tong Zhi'er entered the room, she couldn't help laughing at Tong Duo'er's appearance.

The mirror embedded on the dressing table is a bronze mirror with a not very clear image. In addition, the level of this world is still a bit rough. The appearance of people in the bronze mirror is not clear, and it is not even as good as picking a basin in a basin. Water, use the water surface as a mirror for clarity.

Tong Zhi'er thought, when she goes to a bigger city, she must buy a better bronze mirror.

"Zhi'er, isn't it ugly?" Hearing Tong Zhi'er's chuckle, Tong Duo'er asked eagerly.

"Sister, let me get it for you." Tong Zhi'er walked over, went to the handkerchief hanging by the door and wiped off the rouge on her face.As a modern woman, how can I not know about makeup techniques.

Tong Zhi'er glanced at the powder on the dressing table, wiped it with her fingers, dabbed it on Tong Duo'er's face, and then slowly and lightly blended it away.After having silver, Tong Duo'er's skin is no longer as dull and yellow as when Tong Zhi'er first came, but more and more watery, and after a while, it is not too much to say that she is as white as jade.

The good mountains, good water and good air in ancient times are the best skin care products for the skin.

Tong Zhi'er only put a layer of rouge on Tong Duo'er, and did not do anything else. Tong Duo'er looked more agile than before.

"Sister, let's go out."

The two walked out of the house.

Having not seen Tong Duo'er for several days, Dong Ping's eyes were instantly focused on Tong Duo'er.

His overly enthusiastic gaze made Tong Duo'er bury her flushed face even lower.

"Duo'er, Zhi'er, come sit with mother." Fang Cui said with a smile.

After a while, Tong Zhixin and Tong Zhu'er came back.

Only then did Dong Ping reluctantly withdraw his gaze from Tong Duo'er, and said hello to Tong Zhixin.

Tong Zhixin smiled so hard that his teeth could not see, he was really happy when his son-in-law-to-be came to their house.

"Doctor Dong..."

"Uncle Tong, just call me Dong Ping."

Tong Zhixin nodded.

"Fourth Uncle Tong, I'm here today to tell you that my parents will come here in seven days, and I'm afraid they will come to the homes of Fourth Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong."

This is what it means to see the future daughter-in-law...

Tong Zhixindang even said: "It should be." The marriage of children, how can there be no parents present?As the saying goes, children's important matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, if there is a matchmaker, the parents have to agree, right?Dong Ping himself hired Mrs. Yun as a matchmaker, and came to Tong's house to propose marriage, but it was not as good as the parents' coming forward in person.Fortunately, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei are not that old-fashioned people, so they agreed to Dong Ping's promise of marriage.

"Fourth Uncle Tong, Fourth Aunt Tong, then I'll go back first." After explaining the matter, Dong Ping got up and said.

"Let's go after eating, it will only take a while, don't delay things..."

Dong Ping waved his hands again and again, "No, no, I have to go back and make other arrangements, next time."

"Success." Tong Zhixin agreed, and together with Fang Cuiwei sent Dong Ping out of Tong's house.

Tong Duo'er followed her gaze.

Seeing her reluctance, Tong Zhi'er covered her lips and smiled and said, "Eldest sister, you always kept your head down when Dr. Dong was around, but this time everyone has left and you can't see..."

boom----

Tong Duo'er's face was flushed with shame, and she whispered to Tong Zhi'er: "Zhi'er, you know how to laugh at me, so I ignore you." After that, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Zhi'er, stop laughing at your eldest sister..." Fang Cuiwei turned her head and said helplessly to Tong Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er slid down from the chair and walked to the kitchen. Seeing this, Tong Zhu'er also followed to the kitchen to help Tong Duo'er.

"The Dong family is here, the child's father, what do you think we should treat him?" Fang Cuiwei said a little worriedly.

The Dong family is no better than other families, but the Dong family from the Xinglin family, how to entertain Fang Cuiwei really worried.Ordinary people come to visit, Fang Cuiwei just brought refreshments, melons and fruits, but Dong's family comes, and they are Dong Ping's parents, so it is not easy to do this again.

How to say, this is also the first meeting of the future in-laws, they can't be too shabby.

"I'll go to Uncle Duo'er's house and ask. Uncle Duo'er has a lot of knowledge and should know better than us."

As he said that, Tong Zhixin took some dried mushrooms from the house and went to Fang Dalin's house.
