Chapter 333 Toast.
The wedding banquet of the Lin family was held in the new house. There were nearly twenty tables set up. The guests crowded the whole yard, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, waiting for the groom to take the new daughter-in-law home. After watching the bride and groom worship, We can have a banquet.

Before Dong Bao's sedan chair arrived at the new home, the news that Lin Shi took her to kowtow to Master Yan and Mrs. Li reached the ears of the Lin family who were entertaining guests at the new home.

"What's the matter!" Aunt Lin jumped up and quit, pulling Lin Fu angrily and shouting: "Brother, this matter can't be left alone, what right do they have to ask Dashi to kowtow to them? There is no such rule !"

Except for the son-in-law who cuts the door backwards, it is rare to hear of the groom kowtowing to his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he goes to pick up his new daughter-in-law.

"What are you talking about!" Lin Fu was annoyed, and he shook off Aunt Lin's hand, "Why shouldn't he and Dong Bao bump heads? Is it easy for Dong Bao's mother to come to this day? Master Yan treats Dong Bao like his own daughter It hurts, Da Shi has married off their hearts, so why can’t they kowtow? Even a father like me doesn’t want to, why don’t you want to?”

Aunt Qiuxia was also quite upset, not because she was unhappy with her son kowtowing, but because Aunt Lin had nothing to do and disturbed her temperament, and she wished that their family would not be peaceful, so she sneered and said, "According to what you said, our father raised you After all these years, don't you have the qualifications to accept Tian Dazhuang's head?"

Tian Dazhuang is Tian Mao Tian Nier's father and Aunt Lin's husband.

Of course, Aunt Lin can't say that her father is not qualified, otherwise Old Man Lin will not let her go back to her mother's house if she gets annoyed.

"This...can it be the same!" Aunt Lin muttered, "Da Zhuang is just a farmer, he has no shame, but our Dashi is a scholar! That shame is precious!"

Lin Fu said directly: "Even if he became the prime minister, he is also my Lin Fu's son, and he is also the son-in-law of Yan Haifeng and Sister-in-law Li. Why would he be ashamed to put it in front of his elders?"

In fact, when Lin Fu first found out, he was a little surprised. Later, when he came back to his senses, he felt that it was nothing. The custom is that no one kowtows to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It does not mean that kowtow is not allowed. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with it. Should have knocked.The son married away the daughter who hurt like an eyeball, so what if he kowtowed to express his filial piety and gratitude.

He also felt that his son had studied for a few years, and he was more capable than him!

"What else do you want to say? If you talk nonsense again, you will lead your boys and children home!" Old man Lin was not happy, and shouted at Aunt Lin, "You and your family will stay on the table later, don't go Come up to the bride."

It stands to reason that Aunt Lin, as the aunt of the groom Lin Shi, is necessary to go to the new house and talk to the bride as the head of the house, but old man Lin thinks that Aunt Lin really can't speak, and has always been picky about Dongbao. Picking eyes, picking bones, and making the new daughter-in-law unhappy on the big day, wouldn't that be embarrassing for the young couple?

Aunt Lin just brought two pieces of coarse cloth, this kind of fabric is not appreciated by old man Lin now, and it is not soft enough to make shoe uppers. Tian Dazhuang, Tian Mao, Tian Mao's daughter-in-law, Tian Nier, and Tian Nier's husband-in-law all brought it. A worthless gift is enough for six people to eat, and they are still talking about it, thinking of provoking trouble, old man Lin They all felt that it was too much, and they were a little ashamed in front of their son and daughter-in-law.

The kowtow was just a small episode, even Lin Fu praised his son for being sensible, filial, and reasonable, of course outsiders are not qualified to say anything else, how can a gentleman do something wrong, he has read so many books, and what he does is sure to be right.

Of course, there are also people with bitter eyes who secretly say that Lin Shi did this on purpose in order to curry favor with the official father-in-law and rich daughter-in-law. Bao, thoughts from the heart.

When praying to heaven and earth, Lin Shi also pulled Dongbao to kneel down, and kowtowed three times to Old Man Lin, Lin Fu and Aunt Qiuxia who were sitting in the first place.

Lin Fu invited Lin Shi's mentor Liu Fuzi to be the master of ceremonies, and he stood beside him and recited his congratulations loudly. The congratulations were written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Forgetting the kindness and kindness of raising parents and honoring parents, everyone in the village listened to them and praised them. They thought that what was written by educated people was good.

Old man Lin was so happy that he didn't know what to say, as if his precious grandson was coming soon, Lin Fu hurried forward to help Lin Shi and Dongbao, Aunt Qiuxia's tears were falling down, but the corners of her mouth couldn't close smiling.

In the new house, Quan Zi had arranged for boys and girls in the village to press the bed, because when Liang Zi and Zhang Xiuyu got married earlier, Quan Zi was also pushed into the new house by Liang Zi as a child to press the bed. Several young people still joke about it. The son, booed him and asked him to press the bed of his brother-in-law, but was punched away by Quanzi laughing and scolding him.

After worshiping, when Dongbao entered the room, she saw a group of milk dolls sitting on her new bed, some looking around in confusion, some fighting for candy and peanuts, some rolling and crawling on the bed, and some I can't find my mother crying...

If she doesn't give birth to ten or eight children in the future, will she be worthy of the milk baby in this bed!Thinking of Dongbao, I feel a lot of pressure.

"Ouch, the bride is here!" The women guarding the new house laughed and pulled Dong Bao to the bed to sit down.

The women in the new house are all people Dongbao is familiar with, including sister-in-law Hehua, wife Chunlei, and Guizhi. Dongbao doesn't have the slightest anxiety about getting married. They are all familiar people who can't be familiar again. She seems to have just changed. Just a place to eat and sleep.

"Have you had breakfast? Are you hungry? There are fried meatballs on the stove. I'll pack a bowl for you as a cushion?" Guizhi pulled her and asked in a low voice, "You and Da Shi have to go when the meeting starts. Toast, I guess I don't have time to eat."

Dong Bao smiled and shook his head, "I'm not hungry. My mother cooked wontons for me this morning, and my stomach is still full." The scene of hugging and crying with Mrs. Li in the morning exhausted a lot of energy, but Dong Bao now only feels a little tired. Tired, not feeling hungry at all.

After sitting for a while, it was time to start the banquet. Dashi walked to the door of the new house. Under the teasing eyes of all the daughters-in-law and girls, his handsome face was flushed, and he said to Dongbao: "It's time to toast, mother told me to call you out!" .”

"Hey." Dong Bao hurriedly responded, and came out with red face and lowered head amidst the laughter of the crowd.

When toasting, Quanzi held up a tray behind the two of them. Inside the tray were a jug of wine and two small red wine glasses. The wine glasses were tied together with a piece of red silk, symbolizing eternal unity. Lin Shi’s The job is to pour the wine into the wine glass, while Dong Bao holds the wine glass and toasts the guests.

After receiving the wine, the guests will say a few auspicious words to wish the newlyweds, and then pour the wine into their own glasses. Those who can drink will drink it in one gulp, and those who cannot drink will also take a sip. After all, even if the new daughter-in-law is toasted with wine, even if she doesn't drink at all, she still has to drink a little to give the new daughter-in-law face.

Lin Fu didn't expect so many guests to come. Not only did most of the villagers from Tagouji come, but also the first-in-law and second-in-law of Quanzi's future mother-in-law's family, as well as those merchants who had business dealings. Brought a gift for a wedding drink.

The toast could have been finished in less than half an hour, but it dragged on for more than an hour.There are also quite a few people who are not close to the Lin family, and they took advantage of the bride's toast to talk endlessly with the young couple in order to get closer.

Uncle Tian Dazhuang is a typical representative of them. After taking Dong Baojing's wine glass, he kept saying that from Lin Shi when he was a child, he used to hold Lin Shi in his arms, to when Lin Shi was four or five years old, he loved going to their house to eat Sophora japonica rice... It takes a quarter of an hour, tossing and turning to mean the same thing, he loves Lin Shi very much...

"Uncle, Dongbao has already toasted you. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after drinking." Lin Shi smiled and interrupted Tian Dazhuang.

Tian Dazhuang's face was already flushed from drinking, he quickly waved his hands with his gallbladder, and laughed loudly: "There is no rush to drink, what's the rush? I must drink the wine that my niece and daughter-in-law toasted me! Dashi, do you still remember you?" When I was seven years old, I came to our house during Chinese New Year..."

Because everyone at the banquet was staring at this place, and the guests did not drink the wine toasted by the bride, even if the toast had not been finished, the next one could not proceed. With a smile on his face, Dong Bao greeted Uncle Tian's ancestors cordially in his heart, and decided In the future, I will not contact my aunt's house if I can.

Others can't talk about Uncle Tian, ​​but Old Man Lin can talk about it, so he came over and said, "Da Zhuang, hurry up and drink, what are you doing with so much nonsense? We all know that you love Dashi."

His father-in-law personally reprimanded him. If he continued to babble, the next sentence would probably not give him face again. Tian Dazhuang had to drink and sit down with some regrets. When he was young, he sent a bag of sorghum noodles to the Lin family.

Seeing Uncle Tian drinking, Lin Shi didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense, and quickly pointed to the next guest, and said with a smile: "This is Uncle Zhou from our village, do you remember? There is a persimmon tree behind his house. "

Dong Bao understood, and hurriedly handed the wine glass to Uncle Zhou with both hands, and called out sweetly, "Uncle Zhou, you drink, I wish you good health and a long life!"

Uncle Zhou was so flattered that he hurriedly stood up tremblingly, wiped his body twice before reaching out his hand, then went to take the wine glass in Dong Bao's hand, poured the wine into his own glass, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "You guys The young couple must also be fine."

At the female guest's side, Aunt Lin led her daughter and daughter-in-law to sit at the table. Tian Nier kept looking at the male guest, turned her head and pouted and said, "Father is drunk again, he's so embarrassing!"

"What's so embarrassing about this!" Aunt Lin reprimanded, "If you don't make friends at this time, when will you make friends? When a man marries a wife, how many of them still remember their relatives?" Aunt Lin wanted to take the opportunity to teach her daughter a few principles, In the end, seeing that all the daughters-in-law of Tagouji were sitting at the table, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law pretended not to hear the conversation between mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and concentrated on eating the dishes on the table, preparing to tell Tian Mao to leave when the table was over.
