Chapter 197: Guining
On the third day, early in the morning, Liu Yiyi drove a donkey cart and prepared a cart of his new daughter-in-law, Chu Chu, and went to Xiaoxinzhuang together. {First Reading}
According to the customary rites, today is the day of the bride's 'homecoming'.
Liu Yiyi wanted to accompany Zhang Chuchu to meet her parents and relatives. After it was over, this wedding ceremony was a success.
Zhang Chuchu was dressed in new clothes, covered his face with white veil, sat behind Liu Yiyi obediently, and whispered to Liu Yiyi.
"Chu Chu," Liu Yiyi patted Liu Wuxian's **, turned to look at Zhang Chuchu and said, "You say, how many relatives are there in your family?" ”
"Not much, the concubine has always been a small family, the people are thin, and all the relatives add up to less than sixty households, this time the concubine and the husband are going to visit the elders who salute, there should be one hundred and thirty-five people." Zhang Chuchu whispered absentmindedly: "In one day's time, you can worship completely." ”
Belch? Sixty households? One hundred and thirty-five? Is this still a small household?
Isn't that an exaggeration? A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of Yanagichi's back.
One hundred and thirty-five elders, doesn't that mean that he has to perform at least one hundred and thirty-five junior etiquette and toast one hundred and thirty-five bowls of junior tea?
"That, Chu Chu," Liu Yi quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and asked Zhang Chuchu in a low voice, "Those more than a hundred elders, won't all be here today?" ”
"Of course it will," Zhang Chuchu tilted his head and said in a coquettish voice: "They usually love me very much, and this time they will definitely all arrive, not only them." Those cousins of mine. Cousin, cousin, cousin. They should all come. It's just, husband, I've worked hard for you today. ”
Chu Chu finally realized the situation that Liu Yiyi was going to face today, and looked at Liu Yiyi with some distress.
Yesterday, she just served tea to a few relatives and friends of the Liu family, and she was tired enough, now. {First reading} Her husband has to face more than a hundred such situations, then, Chu Chu glanced at Liu Yiyi distressed again.
"Don't worry, I haven't seen any scenes for my husband, this is not difficult for your husband." Liu Yiyi also raised his head and said to his daughter-in-law very confidently, but the reins in his hand were light and tight. Liu Wuji's progress was obviously much slower than just now.
Is this the wedding etiquette of the ancients? It's scary.
Liu Yiyi was worried in his heart.
No wonder yesterday, Yang Bofang and Lao Liu all changed their faces when they said that they wanted to 'return to Ning'. They patted Yanagichi's shoulder heavily, and said something that made him unclear. What "hold on", "hold on", "hold on".
Now, he finally understood. When married, the groom is no better than the bride.
"Husband, you don't have to worry," Zhang Chuchu obviously felt that something was wrong with Liu Yiyi, so he moved his body forward, sat side by side with Liu Yiyi, pulled Liu Yiyi's arm, and said softly: "Those uncles, uncles, uncles, aunts, aunts, uncles, cousins, concubines, cousins, concubines, cousins, cousins, concubines, cousin ”
"Well, I'm not worried about my husband," Liu Yiyi shook off the cold sweat in his heart, looked at Zhang Chuchu affectionately and said: "Actually, just think about it, lady, you have always been by your husband's side, and you are not afraid of anything for your husband, well, the hour is not early, let's hurry up, don't make the elders wait for a long time." ”
After speaking, Liu Yiyi gritted his teeth and slapped Liu Wuxian on the back fiercely, and Liu Wuxian began to run wildly.
"Thank you, husband!" Chu Chu also glanced at Liu Yiyi with the same affection, hugged his arm, and leaned against his side.
The two families were not far apart, and there was Liu Wuji, a hundred-mile donkey in the middle, who was galloping hard, and soon, Liu Yiyi and they rushed to Zhang Chuchu's mother's house. {First Reading}
At the moment of the Zhang family, it is the lights and colors, the voices are boiling, and there is a joyful atmosphere.
Liu Yiyi parked Liu Wuxian in front of the door, and just helped Zhang Chuchu get off the donkey cart, Zhang Xiaoliang, Zhang Chuwen, and some strangers who Liu Yiyi had never seen once, so he heard the letter and greeted him with a smile.
"Daddy! Eldest brother! Uncle! Second uncle! When Zhang Chuchu saw them, he shouted excitedly.
Liu Yiyi stepped forward steadily, bent over and gave Zhang Xiaoliang a salute, and said, "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law!" ”
"Virtuous son-in-law is exempt, hehe, come into the house with your father," Zhang Xiaoliang enthusiastically took Liu Yiyi's hands and invited Liu Yiyi into the house.
And Zhang Chuchu was pulled into the inner room by a female dependent who had just come out, thinking that he was going to talk to Zhang Liu's family and some other female dependents.
Get into the house, Zhang
Liu Yiyi sat down on the side, and then began to introduce the two middle-aged men who were the eldest uncle and the second uncle just now to Liu Yiyi.
"This is your eldest uncle Liu Sheng, this is your second uncle Liu Hong, the first time we met, the virtuous son-in-law will give the two uncles a gift." Zhang Liang pointed to Liu Sheng and Liu Hong, who had just sat down, and said to Liu Yiyi.
"Son-in-law Liu Yiyi, I've seen my eldest uncle, I've seen my second uncle!" Liu Yiyi hurriedly got up and bent over to greet Liu Sheng and Liu Hong.
"Well, hehe, good! Sure enough, it is a talent, but it is also worthy of our family Chu Chu, No, this is the happy money given to you by my uncle, I wish the virtuous son-in-law and Chu Chu can have a noble son as soon as possible, and grow old together, well, also, remember to treat Chu Chu well in the future, otherwise I will be an uncle, and I will not spare you! Uncle Liu Sheng handed Liu Yiyi a red sac and instructed Liu Yiyi.
"Son-in-law knows, thank you uncle!" Liu Yi carefully clamped his tail, took the red sac, and bent over.
However, Liu Yiyi touched the huge red sac handed over by Liu Sheng, in it, what, it seems, well, there is only one copper plate?
—
Although Liu Yiyi now looks at these silver coins very lightly, he still can't help but pout at Liu Sheng in his heart, this uncle is also a little stingy.
Then came the second uncle Liu Hong, and then a group of relatives came in from outside, young and old.
What eldest grandfather, second grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, cousin, called Liu Yi's head was two circles bigger.
However, these are only men, and there is a group of female dependents waiting for him in the back room.
"Chu Chu," Zhang Liu pulled his daughter to the couch and sat down, and asked softly, "How are you doing over there?" Are your parents-in-law okay with you? ”
"Mother, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have always been very kind, and the uncle and sister-in-law at home are also very good to Chu Chu, so don't worry about it." Zhang Chuchu took Zhang Liu's hand and replied softly: "When I came, my father-in-law and mother-in-law asked Chu Chu to say hello to you on their behalf." ”
"Well, hehe, that's good, my father-in-law is an honest person, my mother-in-law is kind and kind-hearted, and she is very happy with you, you are in the Liu family, and my mother is relieved." Zhang Liu nodded with satisfaction.
"Then, how did the groom treat you, Chu Chu, did he bully you?" A voice rang out from the side.
"Eldest sister, do you still need to ask, look at the expression on our Chu Chu girl's face, don't you know everything? Hehe" another voice opened his mouth to laugh at Zhang Chuchu.
"Auntie, second aunt!" Zhang Chuchu glanced at them with disgust and said, "If you say this again, Chu Chu will ignore you in the future." ”
"Huh? Hehe, okay, don't talk about the second aunt," the aunt glanced at Zhang Chuchu dotingly, and said: "However, if you suffer any grievances in your husband's house in the future, don't hold it in your stomach, remember to come back, tell our mother's family, and my aunt will definitely go to get justice for you." ”
"Eldest sister, you're talking nonsense again," Zhang Liu glanced at his aunt and said: "When a woman marries and goes out, she must know how to teach her husband and children, serve her in-laws, what is it to be angry, when we first got married, we were still less angry?" Have you ever seen a family that would bring their relatives to the door? ”
"Chu Chu," Zhang Liu said to Zhang Chuchu again: "In the husband's house, you must abide by the women's morals and be filial to your in-laws, even if you are angry, you must endure it, but you can't play any little temper like at home, and run to your mother's house at every turn, otherwise you will be laughed at, you know?" ”
"Well, Chu Chu knows, mother." Zhang Chuchu nodded lightly. The people of the Liu family, she has already met all over yesterday, they should all be very good people to get along with, and it should be good to live with them, right? Zhang Chuchu couldn't help but think of Liu Yiyi, with her husband here, even if she was really angry, she was also bearable.
"Actually, in the husband's house, the main thing is to wait for the husband well," the eldest aunt also stood up to impart experience: "As long as the husband is waited for well, the husband and wife are affectionate, and the case is raised eyebrows, and the in-laws will not say anything." ”
"Well, my sister-in-law's words are reasonable," the eldest aunt and second aunt also opened their mouths to make peace, and Zhang Liu didn't say much about it.
The husband is the wife, and at home, the husband is your backbone and a piece of heaven above your head.
Although the folk customs in the early Tang Dynasty were relatively open, these things, which have been popular for nearly a thousand years, remain unchanged in their bones-
