Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 51
Si Hongcang likes to read and discuss with Yun Ruo very much recently. Sometimes with Bai Yi, Yun Tian and Gao Fengxian, five people talk together.
Si Hongcang told them that this would make people’s thinking flexible, and it would be better than studying alone. So often get some questions to bother them.
It’s just that these people, except Bai Yi, are all wild ways. They never care about the style of the article or the genre of classics.
It would be more comfortable to sit under the flowers and trees in the yard reading a book in spring and summer, but now that I am busy, it is rare to have such leisure.
The two were talking happily when they saw Yun Ruo’s uncle and grandfather carrying a basket of things and staggering along the pebble path mixed with peach willows to the river.
Si Hongcang was startled, he quickly took Yun Ruo’s hand, pulled it into the osmanthus bush in the corner of the house, and whispered in his ear, “Hoo! I was almost seen, but I’ll be scolded! When he gets out of the river, you go home quietly. Otherwise, when he washes up, he will be able to see us when he looks back.” There was a trace of nervousness in his voice.
Yun Ruo saw her with a sneaky look. She couldn’t help laughing until her whole body trembled. She leaned against the wall for a while before resting. She pushed her hand away and said, “Then you are still holding my hand? Besides, my sister will be married in two days. , don’t come to me either. When Brother Fengxian passes the door, aren’t grandfather, uncle and uncle, uncles and uncles leaving? It’s always not good for us to be seen like this, not more than usual, In front of you are your own family.”
Si Hongcang nodded apologetically, “Yes! I didn’t call you today, because Bai… My sister sent a few interesting books from her hometown, and I couldn’t help but want to bring them over to show you. Tomorrow It won’t be like this. I’m also busy, so I won’t go to your house.” He urged him to leave.
Two days later, it snowed heavily in Yannan Village, which used to be cold and seldom snowed.
God can be regarded as a face, the winter moon is thirty, the first day of marriage, the snow finally stopped, and the sun came out at noon.
Looking at the thick batt-like snow outside, Yunshan sighed and said, “What can I do? With such a thick snow, the road is not easy to walk. As soon as the sun comes out, everywhere is wet. Yes, the guests are annoying. It’s really bad luck.”
Yun Ruo hurriedly comforted her mother and said, “Mother, that’s not what you said, didn’t you say ‘Rui Xue will have a good year, right? You should be happy. This Da Xue married a son-in-law, and next year’s situation will be good, this is a lot. It’s a good sign! Let’s clean up the snow in the yard first, and wait for the sun to shine.”
The uncle gave Yun Ruo an admiring look, praised him for his ability to speak, and then said to Yun Shan, “On a happy day, what do you say ‘bad luck’. Prosperous. You’ve prepared everything properly, and there are so many people here to help, what’s there to worry about?”
Yun Ruo’s grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, and uncle and grandfather rushed over early this morning, just to be a good helper.
The second uncle Song Qingci smiled and said, “Yunshan, when the helper arrives, you don’t have to worry about it. Just wait for your son-in-law to come in. The person who should worry is Gao Kang, but she helped her son with a lot of dowry. Well, it’s going to be troublesome now, and we don’t take it lightly, it’s better to send more people to greet the relatives, otherwise the dowry won’t be able to be brought back.”
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Song shi said happily, “My own mother is also true, what are you doing with such things?”
…….
Today is a day of great joy.
Everyone is busy, but Yun Tian, the master, is free. Just wait for the wedding time to come, and then go out to pick up the bridegroom. So, she accompanied a few elders to gossip a few words, then quietly came to the study, took out a history book and turned a few pages, where can I read it? Couldn’t help but smile, put down the book, and sat quietly for a moment.
Thinking about her life after marriage made her both look forward to and hesitate a bit. There will be one more person in the family, and this person has a very close relationship with her. After that, he will live with him in this yard, what will it be like?
Thinking of Gao Fengxian’s beautiful face and clear and sparkling eyes, her heart softened and she slowly calmed down. Not to mention that Feng Xian is a sensible person, she is also very confident now, she will definitely be able to lead her husband to get along with her family in harmony, and she will be able to live a warm and beautiful life as usual. She would never allow those petty suspicions and quarrels to appear in her own home.
Also, although my mother and father had told her before that it would be best to separate the family after she got married, she agreed at the time. But now she’s changed her mind again! She thought that Feng Xian would definitely approve of her.
After thinking for a while, she got up calmly, closed and locked the door of the study, went downstairs, and went out to greet the guests and her newlyweds.
Of course, when I heard the festive sound of playing, and the red-painted welcoming team appeared in sight…
Yun Tian only felt his heart beat faster, his palms became hot, and his spirit became tense. At this time, she couldn’t move her footsteps, standing there foolishly smiling!
Yun Ruo looked at her sister and felt that the smile on her face was a little restrained, thinking she was a little nervous. She hurried up to help her dress up her wedding dress, and urged her in a low voice, “Sister, hurry up! Otherwise, brother Feng Xian won’t marry you after the time has passed.”
When Yun Tian heard this, he couldn’t help laughing with a snort. He reached out and tapped Yun Ruo’s nose, “You, you’ve learned from Ah Cang crooked!”
“Hehehe…” Yun Ruo spat out her pink tongue and laughed.
Si Hongcang, who was far outside the door, sneezed loudly at this moment!
He scratched his nose with his finger, scratched his head again, and turned to the Yun family. Seeing Yun Tian complaining, he was pointing his finger towards her, just like Yun Ruo was accusing her of something.
So, she glared at Yuntian from a distance, and slandered in her heart: This Yuntian must speak ill of me in front of Yun Ruo again!
After talking to Yun Ruo, Yun Tian followed behind Lu Yuanxiang, strode towards the welcoming team, and went out with the team to marry her husband.
The bride Yuntian led Si Hongcang and a group of young bridesmaids, driving a red ox cart, beating gongs and drums to the sky, and all the way to the Gao family. .
After the wedding reception team set off, the Yun family also began to get busy, mainly arranging banquets.
The chopping board made a “dong dong” sound, the pot was smoky, and the aroma wafted out of the kitchen, attracting dogs, cats, and even chickens in the yard to linger.
The women met from time to time to discuss and arrange something. The men were washing the dishes and vegetables, laughing and laughing. Cousin Song Yuan and his cousin Yun Xia and the children ran around in the refreshing yard, looking for the unexploded squib bamboo from the pile of scraps of paper.
In such a festive event, the role of the individual is always inconspicuous. Yun Ruo can only help with chores and take care of a few children in the relative’s house. He thought that people were too messy, so he deliberately pulled Zheng Qinger to accompany him, but unfortunately Dongmei wanted to bring the baby, otherwise he could help.
At noon, the temperature rose a lot under the sunlight, and the most obvious thing was the ice ridges under the eaves, which began to drip water continuously. The snow on the roof has melted extensively. Finally, some ice ridges couldn’t bear it anymore, and were shaken at all, with a “pop”! It fell from the eaves and fell to pieces, which startled the big yellow dog and the little black dog who were undefended.
The guests are almost here, and even Lu Jiaxin, who is far away in the capital, sent a congratulatory gift, a carriage drawn by a horse.
Yun Tian, Si Hongcang and Yun Ruo jointly built a shop in the next Jiji. They went out more often, but the ox cart was still a little slow. The carriage was delivered on time and very suitable.
Open the door, the interior is also very nice, not as simple as the outside, which is in line with Lu Jiaxin’s gift-giving status, but it is not too luxurious and eye-catching.
However, Lu Jiaxin thought it was very ordinary. But for the guests from the countryside, they felt that it was rare, and there was a lot of comments around the carriage, and their envy was beyond words.
Yunshan was busy letting people into the house and accompany him to talk.
While waiting for the bridegroom to enter the door, the youngest son-in-law, the husband’s family, and the father-in-law gathered at Yuntian’s bridal room. Accompanied by Mrs. Song, Yun Ruo’s grandfather, two uncles, uncles and grandpas, and others, they looked at the decoration of the new house and chatted about family affairs.
Accompanied by Yunshan, the village chief Lu Yuanxiang and others, the peasant women gathered in the main house in the east, chatting and laughing loudly. Lian Yunruo was also dragged over to accompany a few cousins and uncle’s sons whom he didn’t recognize.
Yun Ruo and Zheng Qing’er were chatting with these boys, wondering why these relatives who were not familiar with their own family would let their sons come out to such a wedding banquet?
When their father called them over, he introduced them to the uncles and father-in-laws one by one. And those people took the hands of these boys and looked up and down carefully. The scrutiny and judgment eyes reminded Yun Ruo of the eyes his mother looked at the calf when she bought the calf, and she was relieved. It turns out that after this wedding banquet, there may be several marriages that can be accomplished.
Seeing those people constantly greeting and greeting, he chuckled and whispered to Zheng Qinger, “The girls in our village are very popular! Your family has many sisters, and your father is going to be too busy.”
Zheng Qinger asked with a smile, “Yunruo, what do you think about Chen Xiang?”
Yun Ruo’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded again and again, “Chen Xiang is of course good. If I were a girl, I would marry him! It’s gentle like the water of Xiaoqinghe. What’s the matter, which sister of yours has a crush on him?” Zheng Sanxing (Zheng Qinger’s third sister) is too slow. If you wait for Aunt Chen Chang to help Chen Xiang get married, she will regret it!
Zheng Qinger blinked her black eyes and asked, “Do you think if my third sister came to propose marriage, would Aunt Chen agree? Can Chen Xiang agree?”
They were in the main house on the west side at this time. Yun Ruo saw that there were too many people in the house, so she hurriedly dragged him to the backyard, squatted in front of the vegetable garden, looked at the dark green spinach, and said to Zheng Qinger with a smile. , “Chen Xiang can definitely agree. But it’s useless for her to agree… He can’t be the master at home. As for Aunt Chen? I think she should be able to agree. She is a very particular person, and she doesn’t like to be idle and talkative. A person who is as capable as your third sister, she likes it the most.”
Zheng Qinger said cheerfully, “I think so too, my mother is going to propose to Aunt Chen Chang.”
Yun Ruo was overjoyed to hear it! I thought to myself, this Zheng Sanxing finally came to his senses.
I was busy joking and laughing, and before I knew it, it was the afternoon. When the loud melody of the suona and the clanging of the gongs came from the old village, the guests here were like sardines, pouring out of the house one after another. Excitedly rushing in front, cheering loudly “The Bridegroom”, welcoming him all the way.
Next, there was a lot of noise, laughter, and whispers in the yard. The gongs and drums were roaring, and the firecrackers were crackling. The newlyweds were welcomed, the dowry was moved, the church was married, and the dishes were sung after the banquet. What a gibberish have to! But it was also extremely lively!
The laughter of the little children was caught in the noisy voice. They ran down from the eaves of the porch and rushed up again, because after the snow on the roof melted, the water continued to drip down, forming a rain curtain, and they went out. The competition is to see who can pass through the rain curtain and prevent the water from dripping onto the body. It’s a lot of fun!
In such a happy atmosphere, Yun Ruo was a little dizzy, seeing her mother and father laughing with white teeth, and she didn’t think sour cheeks.
After Yuntian sent Gao Fengxian into the bridal chamber, he came out and waved to Si Hongcang. The two went to the banquet at each table. Yuntian was busy toasting, while Si Hongcang was in charge of pouring and drinking.
Fortunately, the day before, the two of them filled the water and wine in the toast in a ratio of ten to one. Otherwise, it’s no wonder that these few rounds of drinking don’t make people unconscious!
She took time out of her busy schedule and whispered to Yun Ruo, “Go to the bridal room to accompany your brother-in-law. It’s very noisy when you stay outside. When you get in the room, you can talk to him. Grandpa and the others are all inside.” After a while, I was no longer nervous, and my face was full of joy.
Yun Ruo nodded with a smile and found Zheng Qinger. He was pulled by Song Yuan to speak just now, and the two entered the new room together.
The new house was also lively. Song Yuan and Yun Xia were taking off their shoes and jumping on the new bed. The peanuts and dates on the bed were flattened and no one stopped them. It is auspicious for a little baby to step on the bed.
This newly made dark red canopy bed is extremely elegant. The headboard and back wall are decorated with hollow flowers and plants. There are long pedals in front of the bed, and a powder gauze tent is hung on the bed. The house is full of cabinets—much more solid than the new house that my cousin Yun Lin had when she got married. However, most of them are simple and useful household items, and there are no dazzling decorations.
This new house was arranged by Si Hongcang with help.
She wanted to help Yuntian make a modern bed, but thinking about it, the old-fashioned withered canopy bed is more classical. The craftsmanship of the forest carpenter is also very good, and the flowers and plants are vivid and antique.
At this time, the newlywed Gao Fengxian, who was sitting dignifiedly and skillfully at the edge of the canopy bed, with his feet on the pedals, his beautiful face was red with shyness, and his eyes like autumn water were also shining.
The old man Zhao and the others were talking and laughing, while the younger son-in-law and the husband’s family kept praising the groom’s good looks, and their eyes were full of admiration.
Getting married and being a groom is the most beautiful time in a man’s life. Even if he has only three colors, he will show a very elegant style. The other seven points are dressed up by happiness and sweetness, which can be complemented by non-makeup. Gao Fengxian has a seven-point color, and when she is newly married, her eyes are affectionate and her face is shy, like a dewy flower in the morning, charming and charming.
Yun Ruo’s grandfather, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, and uncle looked at this granddaughter, nephew and grandson-in-law with great satisfaction. Of course they weren’t because of Gao Fengxian’s good looks. A handful of years old, experienced the world, always have some eyesight and insight, I think this concubine, nephew and grandson-in-law is very grand, the two hold the hand of the newcomer, rubbing and sighing happily for a long time.
Even if Gao Fengxian was generous and calm, it would be uneasy to be stared at by so many people at this time. In the midst of anxiety, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yun Ruo coming in, his eyes lit up, and he smiled brightly at him, dazzling the eyes of a group of people.
Yun Ruo saw that most of the people in the room were people and elders who were close to him, so he squeezed forward with a smile, stepped on the pedal, sat next to Gao Fengxian, and asked in the first sentence, “Brother Fengxian, are you hungry? I’ll bring you something to eat?”
Gao Fengxian was stunned for a moment, but before he could answer, the grandfather and the uncles, the uncle, the uncle, the uncle, the youngest son-in-law, and the husband’s family burst into laughter.
