Chapter 112
Before dawn, Liu Yaoqing rolled around in the bed, poked her head out and watched Brother Zhezi bring in a pile of heavy clothes from outside, "Brother Zhezi, are you going to get up now?"
"Brother Qing, no need, there are people busy outside." Brother Zhezi carefully unfolded the clothes, one black and one bright red, all embroidered with patterns.
Mrs. Li brought people to decorate the room yesterday. The wooden cabinets on the kang were replaced with new ones, and the tables and chairs were also new. There were many rare things inside. The windows were pasted with red-dyed paper and cut patterns. .
Satisfied, she turned over and looked sideways at Brother Zhezi, Liu Yaoqing frowned, "It stands to reason that we can't meet before we get married."
"Brother Qing, didn't you say that the rules are all made by people, and people can make the rules difficult." Brother Zhezi smiled, "Sleep a little longer, it's not yet dawn. I'll go out and see how they are preparing."
"Go, go." Liu Yaoqing hurriedly waved his hands.
It seems that yesterday was just Chinese New Year, and today they are going to get married.
From the beginning of the new year, Liu Yaoqing didn't pay attention to the preparations on the mountain, but there were quite a few movements.There was no fire in the dining hall all day long, and Li Shi even asked Su Qi to help him go down the mountain to buy something, but he didn't let Liu Yaoqing know, and he didn't ask Su Qi either.
Liu Quanjin was still working in the shed, but he also took the time to give Liu Yaoqing a footstool in front of the kang, and a pair of small cabinets on the kang.Originally, Liu Quanfu had to come to the mountain to live in advance, to help out and so on.
But still what Liu Yaoqing said, the rules are made by people, and people should not be stumped by the rules.
The custom in Shanggu Village is that the two parties do not meet each other before getting married, but men and brothers are not so particular. Some brothers like men, and they will secretly go to the man's house at night and wait until dawn to get married.For relatives and friends, it is enough to have a representative. After all, some relatives live far away and may not be able to come here. The rules cannot be set too rigidly.
On Liu Yaoqing's side are Brother Zheng, Brother Ming, Brother Zhi and Brother Yan to help, and the Seventh Brother Su Da is from the mountain, so naturally they also help.
The big pots and stoves were on fire, and the kangs in the house were all heated up. A low table was set up, there was also a big table under it, and the benches were set up one by one.At dawn, some people went up the mountain with gifts in their hands.
The first one was Fifth Uncle Liu, who took Brother Shui and showed the gift to Su Da, and then Su Qi took it and trotted it to the warehouse, and put it together specially.Afterwards are the old people in the village, all of them brought the young children of the family, and there are also businessmen, porters and so on who came out of their homes specially today to come to Shanggu Village.
Brother Xing also changed into new clothes and greeted them with Brother Zheng and Brother Ming. Brother Yu took Brother Zhi and Brother Yan to entertain him and the young lady, and he was also very busy.
Brother Zhezi came in from the outside and said, "Brother Qing, wake up."
"Okay." It was so lively outside, Liu Yaoqing actually didn't fall asleep much.
The clothes from inside to outside are new and bright red.Liu Yaoqing sat on the kang and asked Brother Zhezi to help put them on one by one, rubbing her face herself, there was a touch of blush on it, Brother Zhezi was almost dumbfounded.
"Brother Qing is so pretty." Brother Zhezi said.
"I'll help you." Liu Yaoqing got off the kang, a little clumsily picked up the black clothes embroidered with red patterns on the kang, and helped Brother Zhezi put them on.
Brother Zhezi is tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, straight body, especially long legs, especially good-looking, and he looks different in brand-new clothes.Liu Yaoqing took a step back, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go out." Brother Zhezi stretched out his hand.
Liu Yaoqing took the initiative to put her hand up and held it, and the two went out together.
People outside couldn't help looking at it. Liu Yaoqing was originally good-looking, with a face that didn't touch the slightest bit of fireworks, but Brother Zhezi usually looked unremarkable, but now it made people's eyes shine.
"They are all good people." I don't know who said this.
"I think everyone already knew that Brother Qing and Zhezi were good people. Looking at them now, I'm afraid they look too good-looking, haha."
"It really is."
Everyone burst into laughter, watching Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi walk out of the yard holding hands.
The villagers came first, and they were led in by Brother Xing, Brother Zheng, and Brother Ming. Those who often went up the mountain to do business were led in by Su Wu and others.At this time, there were still people going up the mountain, led by a familiar flower horse, running up with a rattle, tilting his head to look at Liu Yaoqing, wondering why he wasn't waiting in the house, and then looked at the extra people on the mountain, this horse Ma couldn't figure it out.
Someone ran out to lead the horse and led the coachman to rest nearby. Gao Fugui laughed and walked over, saying, "Brother Qing, congratulations, congratulations."
"Thank you, thank you." Liu Yaoqing smiled and invited Gao Fugui to enter.
Another unremarkable carriage ran up the mountain, and an ordinary coachman came down, saw Liu Yaoqing and said respectfully: "My master asked the young one to come and give gifts."
"Thank you." Liu Yaoqing recognized that this was a member of County Magistrate Du's family.
The entire carriage compartment was filled with gifts, and Liu Yaoqing asked someone to take them out, starting from the door of the warehouse and extending all the way.Many people came out to look curiously, and saw another carriage going up the mountain.
It was sent by Zhao Xiancheng, the things were not too many but not too many, Liu Yaoqing asked someone to check carefully before putting them out.
"Brother Qing, here we come." Brother Zhezi said suddenly, with a rare nervousness in his voice.
Liu Yaoqing looked over and found a long queue appeared in the village at some point, with no end in sight, as if there were many people outside the village.
The leader is a burly man with a very white face, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that he doesn't actually have a beard.This person came in front of Liu Yaoqing, bent his legs slightly, stood up straight again, and said: "This is a reward from the emperor."
"Thank you, my emperor." Liu Yaoqing nodded with a smile.
Things were placed all the way from the mountain, and they were placed in a circle in the village before they were finished.People in the village and on the mountain were surprised to see it. I only heard it from dramas. When princes and grandchildren get married, the dowry would fill dozens of streets. It was really an eye-opener at this time.
That is the great grace of the emperor, and it seems to be different from the nobles of the kings and grandchildren.
Liu Yaoqing did not get carried away, she still had a smile on her face, very decent.Brother Xing ran out to say that the auspicious time had come, so Liu Yaoqing got into the sedan chair, carried by eight strong men, accompanied by Brother Zhezi, and went around the village.
Peanut candies had already been placed in the sedan chair, and Liu Yaoqing threw them out after walking a short distance, and the children outside gathered around, giggling and talking auspicious words, picking up delicious food on the ground.
Walking all the way, talking all the way, there was constant lively sound outside, Liu Yaoqing shook her head, listening to some adults talking.
"The reward sent by the emperor, brother Qing is capable."
"Yeah, I don't know if there will be more people on the mountain this year."
"Definitely, my family got it from Liu Santiao, saying that there is a shortage of people on the mountain."
"Liu Santiao has a good relationship with Zhezi, it's really possible."
"Stop talking, brother Qing is gone, let's follow up and have a look."
Several people hurriedly followed after talking, and seeing the sedan chair slow down, they started talking again.
"Your family went up the mountain, who did you bring?"
"I didn't bring anyone with me. I thought I could only go alone. After all, we are not related to Brother Qing."
"It's not relative, we're helping Brother Qing plant wild raspberries. My family took my little brother up the mountain, so he went in too."
Liu Yaoqing sprinkled a handful of peanuts outside, and there was a commotion outside again, the sound gradually became inaudible.He opened the curtain slightly, just in time to see Brother Zhezi, who was also looking over, and smiled.
Pursing her lips, Liu Yaoqing also smiled, thinking that this moment is the most beautiful moment.
The sedan chair went up the mountain and stopped at the door.
Someone outside was chanting auspicious words, the voice was high and low like singing an opera, and everyone around laughed.Brother Zhezi calmly opened the curtain, squatted down halfway with his back facing, and Liu Yaoqing lay down on his stomach.
With Liu Yaoqing on his back, when he took a step, someone shouted auspicious words beside him.
From the door to the courtyard, and then to the house, brother Zhezi walked steadily, Liu Yaoqing hugged his neck, looked at the people on both sides from the corner of his eyes, they were all smiling.
I don't know when there were many quilts on the kang, Liu Yaoqing was sitting on it, a group of children ran in laughingly, he grabbed peanuts and candy and threw them out.
There are crispy and sweet popcorns on the table, anyone can grab them and eat them, and then pour them out after grabbing them.
"Everyone is not going out to drink, don't tell people to finish eating." Liu Yaoqing laughed.
"Brother Qing is right, let's go back quickly."
"That's right, I just watched the food in the dining hall almost ready."
"Big guy, don't squeeze with the children, go back to eat."
Some adults came out of the house talking and laughing, went to their respective dining tables to prepare and wait for the food to be served.
In the room, Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi still wanted to drink Hejin wine, and they got off the kang together after all the tossing. There were already plates and plates on the dining table outside, which contained more meat and less vegetables, and the largest plate contained a whole chicken. chicken.
The first year's chickens are fresh and tender, boiled in white water, cut into pieces, and dipped in ingredients, the taste is amazing among all the ones I have eaten.
The wine that was brought out was brewed by immortals, not much, and there was only a small jar the size of a palm on each table, but no one disliked it.
Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi toasted each other at the table. They drank peach brew, which tasted sweet and had only a slight taste of wine. It's okay to drink too much.
The dishes on the dinner table are all pre-ordered, and they are all familiar people, and the toast is fast.It was only half way, Liu Yaoqing hadn't seen old man Liu yet, so to speak, he didn't see him go up the mountain.
Taking this matter to heart, after drinking all the wine, Liu Yaoqing's cheeks were a little red, and she wanted to rest in the house, of course Brother Zhezi followed.
The fellows who had had wine were bold and laughed loudly and said, "Zhezi dare not eat wine outside."
"Brother Qing has gone back to the house, how can Zhezi be outside!"
"My brother doesn't dare to control me like this?"
"Do you dare to say it in front of your brother?"
The bragging man blushed, but he still didn't dare to pat his chest to brag.His brother has a good-looking face and a bad temper. He is very strict with him, but the two of them have a good relationship and rarely quarrel.
After entering the house, Liu Yaoqing said: "I didn't see Grandpa."
"I have to look for it." Brother Zhezi said.
"I have to look for it. Those people outside can't tell them to stand still, pack up some food and send it to them." Liu Yaoqing said, "Have the gift boxes been prepared?"
"It's been prepared a long time ago." Brother Zhezi quickly touched Liu Yaoqing's face and said, "Brother Qing, let's rest on the kang."
