Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 166 Makeup
On the afternoon of the fourteenth day of the winter moon, Bilian and Jinyu came with the maid.There were three carriages in front and back, Bilian and her daughter sat in the first one, the maidservant sat in the second one, and the carriage behind was full of various items.Mrs. Fang rushed out to greet her, "It's so hard to come here from such a long distance, and you have a child with you. Come, Yuxuan, let my aunt hug you." As Fang said, she carried Xiao Yuxuan down, Yuxuan is now seventeen months old, and she is quite slippery when she talks.Seeing Fang Shi hugging him, she didn't cry, but tilted her head, "Auntie?"

"Hey, good baby, I'm your aunt." Fang kissed her face lovingly.

"Sister, I didn't expect you to make such a big deal of Chuntao's marriage." Bilian and Jinyu walked back and laughed when they saw helpers in the yard.

"That's right. Chuntao has contributed a lot to me. Besides, she is married to a relative of our family. Of course I have to give her a face. By the way, I see that the Zixuans around you are not young, and I haven't given her any money yet. Are they looking for their in-laws?" Fang took a look, as if Zixuan and Ziling didn't come this time.

"I have already made a kiss. Zixuan gave Xue Ping, Ziling gave Xue An, and Zisu gave Xue Yuan. There are so many good boys in the family, how can we not let them think about it? Didn't see me this time They brought a few little girls, and they just wanted to get out of the experience quickly, or if those girls get married, I won’t be useless?" Bilian took Yuxuan and said as she walked.

"That's good, don't delay others. By the way, your brother-in-law is going to pick up our mother. My mother is at home alone. Let her stay for a while and relax." Yun Song went to pick up Wu Shi after killing the pig up.

The two sisters entered the house, Bilian put Yuxuan down, and Yuxian happened to be there, so she led Yuxuan to play.Jinyu was outside, leading several coachmen from Xue's family to move all the things in, and Dalang and the others also went to help.After everything was put together, Jinyu also entered the house, "Sister, your family really should buy a few servants. There are no male servants in the house, and Dalang and the others have to do everything. It doesn't look like much now, wait for your house No matter how the days are better, it will look unorganized. Besides, you bought such a large forest, and you need someone to take care of it."

"Let's not buy it this year. Our family has not yet reached that level. Wait until next summer, and see if there are any good ones, and buy a few houses." Fang also thought about it, but Tong's family is just a farmer, so it's not good Buying so many minions makes people look bad.

"That's fine too. I'll keep an eye out for you in Fucheng. After all, there are still a lot of people there. Where can you go to buy people in your small village?" Jinyu thinks it's okay to buy them next year, or else the food and vegetables this winter, Also a problem.

"Then Jinyu will be in trouble."

"What did my sister say? We are a family. What is this? Sister, I went to find Mr. Yuan first. I haven't seen you for a while." Xue Jinyu went out after saying that.

Yun Song drove the sledge to pick up Mrs. Wu from the river. As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Wu ran over and threw himself into his grandmother's arms.Wu Shi hugged him and looked at the other grandchildren, not to mention how happy she was.

"Grandma, my aunt and uncle came just now, and now I'm talking with my mother in the room." Da Lang told his grandma.

"Okay, then I'll go and see your aunt, how about you? Are you playing here, or are you with me?" Mrs. Wu walked back.Da Lang and the others did not follow, but helped in front.Some people couldn't find something, and Da Lang found it for them.

When Mrs. Wu arrived in the inner courtyard, Chun Xing saw her and quickly helped her into the house.When the three mothers and daughters met, they all had a stomach full of words, and they just kept talking there.Fang was afraid that she would be too busy outside, so she said: "Mother, you and my little sister are chatting here, I'll go out and have a look. Don't do anything else, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it." Then she went out.

"Your eldest sister, this is marrying Chuntao as a girl. It's okay, now that Chuntao is married in the village, I can help your eldest sister with anything." Looking at the lively scene, Wu couldn't help but think of the time when she was married. Daughter's situation. "In a blink of an eye, you are all mothers. In a few years, I am afraid that you will be able to become grandmas. Time flies fast enough, and I don't know when your brother will marry a wife back? Don't let him It will be nice if these nephews are caught up."

"Mother, don't worry about it. Marriage is determined by nature. Maybe one day brother Xin will fall in love with a girl, and he must marry her." Bi Lian persuaded her mother.

It was a busy day, neither Fang nor Yun Song had time to rest.On the fifteenth day of the winter moon, everyone in the village who got along well with Yunsong and his wife also came.Fang Yun came from the town on a horse and brought Chuntao a congratulatory gift.Both Yun Feng and Yun Hua brought their families over, and Yun Bai and Liu Shi also followed.Ordinarily they should go to Tong Shiwang's house, but Zhou and Shuzhen both wanted to come to add makeup, so they came.Mrs. Liu saw that it wasn't good because she didn't come alone, so she came reluctantly.All the guests came, so Yunsong and Fang naturally welcomed them warmly.

The women all went to the bride's house to add makeup to the bride.I saw Chuntao wearing red clothes, sitting on the kang, with picturesque eyebrows, charming and moving.Everyone praised Junxiang for his good fortune to marry such a beautiful wife.

These daughter-in-laws all took out some things and put them in the box on the ground, which were nothing more than cloth, pillowcases, or quilts.Mrs. Zhou sent two pieces of fabric, and Shuzhen sent two quilt covers, both of which were good materials.Liu Shi watched from the side, and when it was her turn, she also took out a piece of cloth.But the color is not very good, and the cloth is relatively silky. When everyone looks at it, some of them curl their lips.

At this moment, Fang Shi, Wu Shi, Bi Lian, and a few girls brought by Bi Lian all came in.The girl next to Bilian took out small bags one by one, opened them, and said, "Sister Chuntao, all the sisters in the house entrusted me to send them to you." Those small bags were opened, and there were earrings, hairpins, pearl hairpins, etc. , bracelets, etc., are all jewelry, and they are all silver.The daughters-in-law next to me looked at it and were very envious. They never thought that the things given by some maids were better than what they gave.

Mrs. Wu took out a pair of gold earrings and gave them to Chuntao, and Bilian took out a jasper hairpin.Chuntao looked at these two things, and refused to accept them. "Okay, Chuntao, I'll take it for you. Bilian doesn't lack these, and it's all a wish from us." Naturally, Wu urged Chuntao to accept it.

Chuntao was very moved, but she held back and didn't cry, so she nodded and accepted it.Everyone chatted there for a while, and then they all went out.

At the beginning of Shenshi in the afternoon, the people who greet relatives will arrive. At this time, the days are short, so the relatives will be greeted earlier.The groom is dressed in a red dress with flowers on his chest, happily riding a horse in front.Behind is a sedan chair, and drummers and others.Today, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Chen have become brides-in-law again, and they are very festively dressed.There was a little boy, eight or nine years old, who should be the youngest grandson of Tong Shiming's family, and he was a sedan chair boy.Junxiang rode his horse to the gate, Yun Song went up and gave him a red envelope, Xiao Wu stepped forward to lead the horse, and Junxiang got off the horse.

Here Zhuzi's daughter-in-law and Chunsheng's daughter-in-law hurriedly received all the bridegrooms and sat in the upper room, talking with them.When it was time for Shen Shizhong, the banquet of Tong's family started. All the relatives, helpers, and Tong's family members sat down to eat the banquet.The banquet at Yunsong's house today also invited a chef, everything was well prepared, and the meat was rich, so when the dish was served, everyone said yes.I saw the table full of dishes, such as braised venison, stir-fried roe deer meat, wild boar dipping sauce, pheasant stewed mushrooms, pork knuckle, buckwheat, soft fried tenderloin, pork liver, meatballs, rabbit stewed potatoes, bergamot Cabbage, roast duck, a total of twelve dishes, and almost all meat dishes.At this time, the fish is not easy to handle, so instead of fish, a roast duck is served.All the people who came to eat wine applauded, this dish can't be eaten even during Chinese New Year.

Because the man's house is also in the village, some people will go to the man's house for a banquet tomorrow.Today, Tong's family held a total of ten tables of banquets, and all of them were people who knew Yunsong and his wife very well.The person who received the relatives had a banquet alone, and on the table there were also roasted venison tendon and whole chicken. The people who received the relatives were very satisfied with the food.Yun Song asked Da Lang and the others to bring out several jars of wine, the baijiu sent by Junxiang's family for the men to drink, and the fruit wine made by himself for the women to drink.The meal didn't end until the end of the unitary hour. The men drank drunk, and the women blushed, and each went home staggeringly.

The few daughter-in-laws who helped didn't dare to drink too much, so they helped clear the table and put together all the leftovers.In fact, there are no more leftovers. Where have these people seen such a good dish?Fortunately, there is no custom of taking away leftover vegetables here, otherwise, they would have to rush home to get them all.

Mrs. Liu and Yun Bai led Junjie and the others back, and the three of Junjie were hiccupping, and they robbed all the good dishes on their table. "Mother, I'm so full. Uncle's food is delicious. Mother, you can make it for us in the future."

"You are beautiful, how can our family have such a condition? It is good that you are not hungry. Get closer to your grandma when you go home, and she can spend more money to buy us some meat." After they got home, the things in the field were sold for money, and they were in charge of Yun Bai and Mrs. Liu.Mrs. Liu was not willing to spend money, so she asked her sons to go to Mrs. Qin's to pick up money.Although the Qin family is a bit stingy, Junjie and the others are his grandsons after all, so they often add some money to buy some food.

"You said, our elder brother's family is living so well like this? You see, today's food is several times better than our family's New Year's Eve. A girl is willing to spend so much money to make arrangements for her marriage. Didn't you see today's food Makeup, that Bilian gave the jade hairpin directly. My mother, that one hairpin alone costs more than ten taels of silver. I told you to get closer to the big brother. No. The only time I went there was to borrow money. If I didn’t borrow money, I didn’t say anything, and I was kicked out. You said that you are so stupid. There are plenty of jobs on the mountain, brother, so you can’t help. ? Drinking and playing cards all day, I think you can live a good life like this?" Liu babbled non-stop while walking.

"Okay, are you annoyed? You think I don't want to live a good life. Who made the eldest brother turn his face and deny anyone? What can I do?" Yun Bai was said to be anxious.
