Chapter 75
"No, no, I just want to listen." Wang Bo took out a child's trump card - acting like a baby.

Seeing that it was indeed late and the weather was cold, Meng Shi saw that Su Ling had been busy for another day today, and wanted Su Ling to rest earlier, so she told Wang Bo not to disturb Su Ling any more.

Seeing that it was his mother who spoke, Wang Bo didn't dare to say anything else, he just emphasized that Su Ling must remember to tell him the story tomorrow.

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Su Mei gets married.

Before dawn, it was only two or three o'clock in the modern morning, so Mrs. Liang urged Su Mei to get up.In fact, Su Mei stayed up all night thinking that she was about to get married.

A few sisters-in-law also got up, Mrs. Xie cooked a bowl of noodles and brought it over, Mrs. Liang took it, "Sister, hurry up and eat! You won't be able to eat if you don't wait." Perhaps it was because of the fact that today is Su On her sister's big day, Mrs. Liang gave everyone a good look, and she didn't have the usual tit-for-tat with her daughters-in-law.

Su Mei's face was full of complex emotions, including excitement, longing, worry, and reluctance.When he took the small bowl of noodles, tears dripped down his cheeks into the bowl.

Su Ling followed Mother Su to bring makeup to Sister Su. The makeup that Mother Su gave was a pair of hairpins, earrings and other small accessories, which were made of pure gold. Liang looked at this A face, but did not say much.

The other aunts and aunts gave nothing more than clothes or shoes made by themselves, and some generously gave silver bracelets.

Mrs. Liang specially lit two phoenix candles in the house. These things were prepared early, and they were all auspicious things.

Su Mei's hair was black and smooth, and Mrs. Liang held a wooden comb in her hand and combed it from head to tail, chanting words, all of which were looking forward to Su Mei's good words.

Su Mei burst into tears when she heard this, she hugged Mrs. Liang and whimpered, saying that she was reluctant to leave the house. Mrs. Liang's heart ached too. She had several daughters, but they were old girls who had suffered so much since they were young. Her pet, it can be said that she has never done any heavy work, and now she is about to leave this house suddenly, how can she feel at ease?
Su Mei sighed slightly in her heart, will the mother and daughter finally come to this point?I turned my head and saw the full moon outside the window. It was still dark, but the remaining full moon hung in the night sky like a silver plate, bright and white. I hope this is a good sign.

Rural people don't pay as much attention to make-up as those rich families do. Not long after, Mrs. Liang combed Su Mei's bun. Although it is not a complicated and well-known bun, it is better than elegant and gentle, which is most suitable for Su Mei's today. Bride status.

Mrs. Liang also put on various small accessories such as phoenix hairpin earrings for Su Mei. These ornaments also added a lot of color to Su Mei when they were put on her hair.

Before putting on those rouge powders, Mrs. Liang personally opened her daughter's face according to the ancient rules and customs.

Even though Liang's technique was proficient, Su Ling couldn't help but stand on end, thinking how painful it was!She has been ignoring the ancient rule of showing face when marrying, so she is a little worried, if she grows up and wants to marry in the future, will she also have to suffer from this?
Those little girls who did not come out of the strange way will be called yellow-haired girls.

After opening her face, Mrs. Liang carefully cleaned Su Mei's face, and then applied some rouge and water powder on her. While putting on makeup for her, she had to ask her a lot of words.

After finally getting dressed, Mrs. Liang personally brought Su Mei a bright red wedding gown, which Su Mei spent several months embroidering stitch by thread by herself. Started to embroider.

Not long after, Mei Su had already put on a new wedding dress, which was bright red and beautiful, looking so beautiful and gentle.

Su Ling doesn't have much memory of this sister-in-law, and hasn't spent much time with her in the past year, but seeing her current appearance, she sincerely wishes her happiness from the bottom of her heart.

After all the affairs were busy, the sky began to gradually brighten, and a ray of light appeared on the horizon, implying that today is a good weather.

After dawn, the men in the family lit a string of firecrackers in the yard, and they were all set off crackling, implying a good start!

According to the customs here, the formal wedding banquet is held in the evening, and the meal in the morning will be provided by the woman at the expense of the banquet, and no one will come to greet the relatives until noon to afternoon.

Sumei wore a bright red wedding dress and knelt in front of Grandpa Su and Liang Shi, and kowtowed to them three times. Seeing her get married, the old man persuaded Mrs. Liang with tears, saying that this is a good day, so don't cry all the time.

Afterwards, Zhao Yueqin bid farewell to the five elder brothers again, this kind of etiquette was just the beginning, when she greeted the relatives later, she had to pay her respects again before leaving, and she had to marry in tears, but Ms. Su did it.

It was noon, and the Su family's old house was very lively. In such a small village, when a family held a wedding, almost the whole village came out to congratulate it. Early in the morning, the men in the family went to each house to urge them to move in The tables and chairs of each family were counted and placed one by one in the yard and dining room.At the same time, they also took the public dishes, and the women in the village also came to help wash the dishes, choose vegetables, and wash vegetables. For a while, it was so lively!

The chef was also found in the village, the dishes were delicious and he was a real person, so Liang's hired him.

At this moment, Mei Su was sitting shyly in her boudoir, but the bustle outside had already turned upside down!
The brothers of the Su family greeted the guests in the yard, the girls Su Hua and Su Ling helped serve tea and water, and Su Dong led the able-bodied boys to help serve the dishes. It was rare to see that the entire Su family was united together, and the Su Ling family was not rejected anymore.

At this meeting, Mrs. Liang took out his own private money, and took out part of the money that his sons had given to Su Mei at the bottom of the box to buy it.

Everyone at this banquet also admired it, but it is impossible to say that it can be better than Su Ling's new house wine, but they are so willing to make arrangements for marrying their daughter, everyone also praised it one after another.

During the banquet, Su Qing's sons were known by the entire Huaxi Village, and the brothers and bandits were desperately thinking about the dishes on the table.

Feng's youngest son, with two thick snot sticking out of his nose, was still dangling in front of Su Ling, making Su Ling lose his appetite immediately.Su Ling put down the bowls and chopsticks early, and went to help clean up, or went to clean up the bowls and chopsticks after eating the noodles, and moved them to wash them, so that the next batch of people could come to eat the noodles.

There are twelve dishes in the old house this time. Of course, most of them are meat dishes. Many people who come to eat noodles are reluctant to finish eating. They also brought a special bowl and put the meat in it. It’s good to bring it back to the children or the elderly at home, it can be regarded as an extra meal!
