Chapter 236
This time the Ye family married their daughter, the ceremony was quite grand, with 100 tables set up, and even people with the same surname from the village were invited.
When the wedding brides and grooms such as Hongji returned, their family also went to the ancestral hall for dinner at noon, which was a more elaborate meal.
The closest relatives were sitting at the main table, and this lunch was also very rich. Before the meal, the relatives sat at the table and chatted. There were seeds, peanuts and candies on the table.
Children can't worry about that much, so put these snacks in their pockets first.
The five sisters, Ye Shiqi, were sitting with two maids, while their parents and family members went to accompany their relatives.
There was a young man sitting in the crowd. His eyes had been fixed on Ye Luoqi since the five sisters entered the ancestral hall.
Ye Luoqi is taller than other women of the same age, and also fair and juicy. She is the most beautiful among girls of the same age and same gender in the village.
The person who has been staring at Ye Luoqi is a Goudan. He has been paying attention to Ye Luoqi these years since his firm words when he was young.
However, his passionate words did not endear him to the little girl.
Goudan actually has a low self-esteem. He knows that he is not worthy of Ye Luoqi. This is not just about his appearance, but maybe his family background. He is just a worker in their family now.
I like to listen to stories about workers and young ladies, and hope that one day he will be lucky enough to be favored by the eldest lady of the Ye family.
"Brother, don't look at it. Will someone like you be interested in you now that you are a daughter of a millionaire? Stop daydreaming. It's time to wake up!"
One of Goudan's brothers has always called him Big Brother. In fact, Goudan also has a name, but children from poor families will be given a nickname when they are young in order to make it easier to raise them.
Goudan's real name is Ye Jiaxing, and he has the same surname as sister Ye Jia. They already have the same surname in the fifth service. In this village, there is no one with the same surname who cannot marry.
Anyway, they are nominally cousins, so they may go to worship their eldest ancestors together during Qingming Festival, but they can also intermarry.
The eldest uncle of the Ye family is an example. This also preserves the fact that some men in the village can find wives easily, girls are not completely married outside, and boys in the village are younger and single.
"You brat, what are you talking about? How am I not worthy of her? Can't you even think about it? I have to think about it!"
Ye Jiaxing glared at his brothers angrily. All the brothers knew what he was thinking. The children's words from childhood seemed to have been spread throughout the village by some gossips.
He knows that his status is not worthy of him, but he doesn't like others to say it, especially his own brothers breaking down the wall.
"Let's drink, brother. I hope I can drink your wedding wine next time. It will be even grander than this."
Another brother lowered his head after that brother was criticized by Ye Jiaxing, and he came to the rescue. There was a bottle of wine on the table, and they poured the wine unceremoniously.
There is wine on every table, whether it is for the elderly or children. There is wine on the table. This is Laobaigan. There is also another kind of wine made from plum fruit that can be drunk by the elderly and children. It is something that many people here can drink.
of ordinary wine.
The brewing method is also very common. It is brewed with plum rock sugar. It is said that it can remove rheumatism. It is sour and sweet and delicious, and can also appetize.
Ye Jiaxing drank wine with his brothers unceremoniously, and then ate vegetables and meat. The teenagers were drinking like this. Of course, his parents would talk about them and didn't want them to get drunk. After all, they were only eleven or twelve-year-old boys.
baby.
Like her sisters, Ye Shiqi wore a particularly festive red dress today.
This is not the first time she has had this kind of banquet. Sometimes when relatives at home treat guests, their family members will go to the banquet like ordinary people, sitting at other people's houses and eating and drinking the same thing.
Perhaps the fruits and vegetables produced at home are more delicious. The chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs brought by the groom were caught at his pig farm yesterday morning, and they were just borrowed flowers to pay homage to Buddha, and the money they bought and sold.
Of course it counts separately.
In this era, the era in the book, she has become accustomed to it. No matter what the future holds, she must always enrich herself.
Ye Shiqi actually imagined that like some boys from wealthy families, they could go to an academy to study.
That's just a thought. If you are young now, your family will not agree. If you are older, your family will agree, and the academy may not accept it. Because of the strong roots in ancient times, only boys can take the imperial examination, and girls can go to the academy to study.
Can affect some boys' emotions.
The husband also doesn’t want to accept someone who can’t pass the imperial examination. With the same teaching, it doesn’t matter how smart a girl is. If she learns it, it will be in vain. Rich people might as well ask the husband to teach some writing and learn female virtues at home, and girls will be more educated.
You can also learn some nvhong, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Men's teaching is not just about the culture of imperial examinations, they must learn to be good at literature and martial arts.
…
It took three days for the married woman to return home. On this day, Ye Shuzhen and her husband took a carriage back to her parents' home. She had already put on women's makeup that day.
Although the jewelry on her head was very grand, and the clothes she wore were the clothes of a wealthy person. Although the fabrics of the clothes were very rich, her face also looked happy.
Ye Shuzhen changed from a girl to a woman and married into her husband's family. Although her husband was a worker of the Tang family, he bought another large house in the county.
My husband's family also lives in the big house. My husband and father-in-law both work in the Tang family and go back to the big house to live in the evening. My mother-in-law and sisters-in-law also live in the big house.
Although my husband and father-in-law are workers of the Tang family, it may be that my husband worked as a book boy next to the eldest young master when he was a child. Both father-in-law and husband are valued by the Tang family. They both work as stewards in the Tang family. This worker is also a senior worker with an annual income.
That’s a lot of money.
This is why the husband can have money to buy land, marry and live in a house, and hire workers. She has changed from a status like a wealthy lady to a young mistress in the house.
She definitely doesn't have to do the laundry and cooking, and she can live a comfortable life.
During the days when the couple were in love, although her husband's family could not say how good they were to her, it was good to see each other and it was difficult to get along, so it was good to be able to get along. After all, they only became a family because they were husbands.
Ye Shuzhen learned from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's attitude towards her that her family treated her much better than her parents' attitude towards her sister-in-law.
That day in the wedding carriage, accompanied by the matchmaker, she was a little bored, so she picked up the book and read it.
As she was flipping through the pages, the matchmaker covered her mouth and laughed.
She blushed and explained that this was given to her by her mother. The matchmaker covered her red lips and said:
"Mrs. Tang, you don't need to explain. We women know women. Your mother gave you this book to read. Generally, your mother's family will teach you before you get married."
After hearing what the matchmaker said, Ye Shuzhen blushed and shyly glanced at the husband riding a horse outside the carriage window.
In the hazy light of the red hijab, she saw the handsome husband, who seemed to be interested and looked over at her, smiling at her.
