On the 15th of the winter moon, it is appropriate to marry.
Xie Yi got married today. Early in the morning, the courtyard of Xie's family became lively. Song Xintong led the two twins wrapped in thick winter clothes to Xie's house. Along the way, he met many guests to celebrate.
He Baiyun stood at the gate of the courtyard, shouting to song Xintong: "Xintong, come in, come in, the bride is coming."
"Why did you come so early? I thought I came before you." Song Xintong let the twins go to look for dog eggs. After they played, they went with he Baiyun to mother-in-law Qiu and Xie Daniu, "mother-in-law, uncle and aunt, congratulations."
Then he handed over a wooden box, in which there was a jade carving named Songzi Guanyin.
Aunt Xie and mother-in-law Qiu are smiling and holding her hand, "Xintong, you'll come as soon as you come. What's the gift for you?"
Song Xintong didn't answer this, but said, "it's too late for Dabao to clean up. What can I do for them?"
"You've lent me Wang's as a manager. It's already the biggest favor." Aunt Xie took song Xintong and said, "it's cold outside. Xintong, you and Baiyun, please come into the room. It's warm inside."
"All right, let me know if you need anything." Song Xintong didn't stay outside either. After all, since she drove the matchmaker out of the house, her reputation is even worse. If she stayed in the yard, it would be bad for the Xie family.
The whole courtyard was decorated with lights and colors, and was full of joy.
They found a secluded corner and sat down, leaning against the charcoal basin to bake.
He Baiyun said with a sigh: "Xintong, Taohua village is much colder than other villages every year. I don't know if it will be colder this year than last year."
When winter comes in Taohua village, firewood is constantly used in every family. Because it is close to the mountain and it is convenient to cut firewood, not many people will freeze to death.
"I don't know, but I see the cold wind is blowing fiercely these days. Why doesn't it snow?" Song Xintong said.
"It's like this in Taohua village. You don't know, but my milk said that it should snow these days. It's not easy to go out at that time." He Baiyun reminds song Xintong, "you should prepare more food. When the time comes, the road to the city will be covered with blood. It's not convenient to enter the city."
"I know. It's all ready." Song Xintong closed his sleeves. A few days ago, he asked the grain shop to give him food that he could eat until the next spring. He also bought a lot of daily necessities. He planned to spend the cat winter at home.
He Baiyun fixed looking at Song Xintong, seriously said: "Xintong, I found you white back, really good-looking."
After eating well and dressing well, song Xintong has grown a lot higher, and his chest has gradually grown bigger. The most important thing is that he becomes white. This is the truth of the so-called white covering all ugliness.
However, song Xintong is very good-looking indeed. Her apricot eyes are bright, her nose is slightly stiff, and her lips are not bright. She is much better looking than he Baiyun.
"Fortunately, it's mainly white, so you think I saw it." Song Xintong said modestly.
"It's pretty. If you are seen by those young people, the matchmaker will break your door." After he Baiyun blurts out, he feels that he has said something wrong. After all, there are so many gossips in the village after being made so much trouble by matchmakers. Isn't it a hindrance to song Xintong when she mentions these?
He Baiyun apologized: "Xintong, I didn't mean to..."
"It's OK." Song Xintong looked at the peach blossom tree in the yard, "are you engaged to your second cousin?"
"It's settled." He Baiyun smiles shyly.
"That's good. When will we get married?" Asked song Xintong.
He Baiyun is very embarrassed to say: "my mother said to wait until the year after next, older children are better."
Song Xintong smiles, "don't be embarrassed."
"But what my aunt said is too much. You're only 15 next year, and you haven't opened your body yet. It's really not suitable to have children. It's better to be after 18 years old."
"Will it be too late?" He Baiyun was surprised and said, "all the villagers are born in the 15th or 16th century."
"It's up to you." Song Xintong didn't ask her to be born at the age of 18.
"Xintong, how do you know so much?" He Baiyun asked curiously.
Song Xintong froze, "I listen to Aunt Wang."
He Baiyun thought about it. He asked no more and looked away: "Xintong, is that song Qingxiu coming?"
Song Xintong doubted.
"Don't you know about Xintong? Before that, song Qingxiu's mother was caught stealing by Guo's aunt. " He Baiyun a face eight trigrams of say: "make very fierce."
Song Xintong like unintentionally asked: "really steal it?"
"I don't know. I heard from the man of Guo's aunt that he was drunk and sleeping on the roadside. I don't know why his belly pocket was in his pants." He Baiyun said and couldn't help laughing, "now no one can say clearly what is going on, has become an unjust case."
"Recently, they all stay at home and dare not come out. Now they dare to come out."
Song Xintong smiles and doesn't speak. He just glances at Song Qingxiu like a stranger. Then he takes his eyes back. "It's almost time. The bride should be coming. Let's have a look."
"Well, that's what I want to say." He Baiyun takes song Xintong's Shuangshuang and walks out of the yard.
Standing in the corner, song Qingxiu stares at the back of the two people with hatred. She hands over the handkerchief and grits her teeth. She thinks: when my brother is admitted as a scholar, I will marry the wife of a rich family. You must look good!
Song Xintong didn't know song Qingxiu's bold words and ambitions. It was the first time that she saw the ancient wedding guard. The sound of playing music was loud and jubilant. Behind the sedan chair were many dowry givers. In front of her, Xie Yi was wearing a red wedding dress and sitting on the borrowed big black. From time to time, she looked back at the bride in the sedan chair.
"Oh, you see Dayi laughing happily."
"No, the bride must be beautiful."
"It's riding on a horse. It's very impressive."
"It's not..."
As the wedding procession approached, uncle Xie immediately arranged for people to light firecrackers. With the deafening sound of firecrackers, he welcomed the bride into the hall. After worshiping heaven and earth, he sent her to the new house.
A crowd also followed to the bridal chamber.
Song Xintong didn't go to the bridal chamber. In general, it's better for unmarried girls not to go.
Just in front of the wedding banquet also began, song Xintong took the twins to a wedding banquet, and then at Aunt Xie's request, went to the back of the new house, and brought some food by the way.
The bride sat on the bed and saw song Xintong and he Baiyun. They came in and asked in surprise, "who are you?"
Song Xintong smiles and puts food on the table. "We are the neighbors of brother Dayi. Aunt Xie is afraid that you are hungry, so let's send some food to sister-in-law."
The bride heard that her mother-in-law had sent her. She was sweet at the bottom of her heart and had a smile on her face. "Thank you for your two sisters."
"No, brother Dayi, they are still drinking in front of us. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while. Sister in law, you can have some first." Song Xintong set up the dishes and chopsticks, and then said.
"Thank you. I happen to be hungry." The bride answered cheerfully.
Song Xintong chuckles. The sister-in-law seems to be dead, so she should be a good friend. Aunt Xie's marriage is really good.
