Chapter 12 Two, there is a phoenix instrument

Sifan The third sister-in-law once called me a petty official, and when I smiled, she laughed too, saying, what are you laughing at?Am I wrong?It's always early before the sun rises, and the wife is always young before she asks for it. Besides, Bao Wenzheng calls his sister-in-law a sister-in-law, am I not older than you?That year I was eighteen, and I was discussing my marriage. It was Qiangang Lutian, fifty miles away from Hu village. The daughter of Tangxi people was named Yufeng, and her father, Tang Jixian, was called Mr. Three. That summer, when I came back from the Hangzhou Academy for the summer vacation, I sat on the eaves after dinner, and the moon was shining. My mother asked me what I meant.When I mentioned marriage two years ago, I said no, but this time I listened to my mother and knew I wanted it. I just felt that I was in front of my mother, and I was obedient to everything in the world. This obedience is somewhat similar to that of my daughter. resemblance.But still slightly surprised, there is a woman who will be my wife, and I can't help but feel a kind of joy, comparable to flowers hitting the surface of the water.

But my mother also heard people say that Zuo Xingwen is getting married now, and she wants to be fancy, and my elder brother is busy with nothing, so she accompanied me to Tangxi, only talking about buying tea, and went to Mr. San's house.Mr. San was at the neighbor’s house and sent someone to call. We were sitting in the living room. It was noon. Yufeng came back from picking tea on the mountain. She was carrying a tea basket on her shoulder and was about to enter the front door when she saw a visitor. She seemed to have felt it, so she turned around and walked through the back door.I am just like what the third sister-in-law said is a petty official, afraid of embarrassment and embarrassment, there is no time to pay attention, so anxious that my elder brother winks at me, and then quietly points out to me. The woman in the green cloth shirt turned into the kitchen from the back door, but her face was still unclear.

At one o'clock Mr. Three came home.So I chatted with my eldest brother, entertained dinner in the living room, Yufeng's younger brother was only twelve years old, and came out to carry vegetables, but his sister was not there. They all understood in their hearts, where am I visiting people?Obviously it was sent to the door to be seen by others, but I had no choice but to put on a face, as if I was risking my life. After dinner, accompany him to Wang's house in Yueqiao shop.Yueqiaodian Wang is Yufeng's hall uncle. He is well-known in the county, and he also has a great gentleman in Hangzhou and Shanghai. His home is a bungalow with verdant corridors and railings.Sitting in the living room of his house, I didn't pay attention to how my elder brother sold his joints. He took me to the field behind the house. The sisters were embroidering in the cool breeze in the courtyard, and the eldest brother pointed out to me. I have never been used to this kind of flustered look, and there is a distance of more than ten feet. , They all fled upstairs, only the sun was left, and the buildings of the people were very neat.

After marriage, Yufeng said that she saw me clearly that time, that is, when my elder brother and I returned from the back of the house to the living room, she watched me from upstairs, walking down the corridor, wearing eggplant-colored silk trousers, The white foreign cloth blouse, I only think it is good in my heart.Among thousands of people in thousands of years, only this young man is him, and only this woman is her. They can't choose, so husband and wife are destined to be married. The elders of the man's family and the woman's family feel at ease when they are recruited in this way, saying that they have already taken their fancy, so I can't tell the truth, but I don't feel that I have been misunderstood or wronged. The most real thing in the world often happens like this OK confused.

The man's matchmaker is Uncle Mi's Shan Kezhen, and the woman's is Cousin Lutian Shaopeng.The order is one hundred silver dollars, satin at both ends, plus a box of poles and two jars of old wine.Inside the box are a pair of chickens, two fish, one side of meat, several pairs of lychees, longan, lotus seeds, white sugar buns and gengtie, all on large red lacquer plates.My father was still alive then. After finishing the load overnight, my father polished the silver coins with dry powder, and wrote a Chinese character "囍" on each piece with a silver vermilion pen.There are also two fat-headed fish hanging on the pilasters, golden yellow bud leeks on the kitchen board, and a large bundle of wild rice stems leaning against the door, all of which smell fishy and fragrant, and the stems and leaves of wild wild rice stems are even more visible in the candlelight. It was verdant and verdant.At this time, the meat cakes under the kitchen have been cut, the sea cucumbers have been soaked, the fish maws are ready, and the meat is ready. The cook resigns. I wrote all the Chinese characters "囍" on the silver coins.

The next day when the matchmaker arrives, please gather uncles in-laws to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth and the Bodhisattva of the family hall, burn red candles high in front of the hall, write my Nian Geng post, put it on a plate, and offer it to the ancestors of heaven and earth and the Bodhisattva of the family hall, and then together with the father All the big red greeting cards are put into the box pole.So the matchmaker was invited to sit down, had dinner and wine, and the matchmaker escorted the dowry to the bride's home.The bride's family accepts the dowry gift, and returns the boxes, which are opened. One box contains the bride's birthday invitation, one box is the in-law's invitation, and the other box is the bride's shoes and rouge for her parents-in-law. Ordered steamed buns, and folded lotus seed white sugar buns.

After the appointment and before the personal welcome, if I go to my husband's house, I will be laughed at as a son-in-law, but after I have engaged, there is already one person in this world who is my wife, and she is still a daughter, I don't know her What kind of thought is it when I think about it, I am probably the same as me, but this feeling is very good.So two years.
