When Chunxiao woke up, she found that her family was about to change drastically. Her husband, who had just passed the imperial examination as a Xiucai, wanted to demote her from wife to concubine ...
The banquet lasted for an hour or so before it ended. Xiaohua came over to have a meal and then went back. There was another family dinner in the evening.
Shufeng, the newly-wed, lifted her veil and came out to help.
"Hey, go sit aside. We don't need your help today." Zhou pushed her aside. "A new bride can't work for the next two days, otherwise she will have to work in the future."
"Grandma, who told you that?" Shufeng picked up the pastries on the table and started eating.
"How would I know who said that? Anyway, this is the rule. If you can't sit still, take a closer look at the place where you will live in the future."
"I know I'm leaving this house even with my eyes closed, why would I need to look?"
Yang Xue suppressed her laughter and asked, "Is my brother asleep?"
"He's asleep. You can make him some sugar water later to feed him. Otherwise, he'll feel bad. Who made him drink so much? Really."
Zhou looked at her angrily, "Feed the sugar water yourself. You are his wife now. How dare you let your sister-in-law do this kind of waiter work for you? You are so arrogant."
Shufeng blushed at Zhou's words. "I, I didn't react at the moment. Grandma, please don't scold me." She ran to Chunxiao in the yard and said, "Auntie, I just learned today while riding a horse that it's a bit scary. It looked so high up on the horse, I was afraid I'd fall off."
"You're so brave. You don't want to take the sedan chair but ride a horse. But riding a horse is so majestic. Duo'er and the others are so envious."
"Are you leaving soon?" Shufeng asked reluctantly.
"Tonight is our respective family dinners, so naturally everyone will go back to their own homes."
"I've already told you that you can only go back after three days. Don't forget it and go back tomorrow. It's unlucky, don't you know?" Zhou reminded from the side.
"Then I can't go back. Can I go to my aunt's place?"
"That won't work either. Your aunt is also your mother's family. You can't go back to your mother's family anyway."
Shu Feng curled her lips and said, "I see. It will only take two days. I can be back on the third day."
The banquet was finally over, and Chunxiao followed Zhou and the others back to the main house. Now, all the people sitting in the yard were their own guests, and they were all family members taking care of their own family members.
"It's really not easy to hold this banquet, but fortunately nothing went wrong."
"Shufeng's matter is over. It should be Shuwen's turn next. Logically, he is the older brother and should go first."
"Dad, don't worry about Shuwen. Now that Chunlei is back, it's more important to find her a marriage. Tianwen is old enough."
Sun laughed aside, "There's no shortage of girls looking for marriage these days. Even your sister-in-law and her family want to find one in your village, saying they can get closer in the future."
"Then I won't get involved in this matter. You know, if we come forward, the villagers will have to consider it a little. My father-in-law said that we can't do that." She smiled at the two elders, "The girls in our village are very popular nowadays. You have seen quite a few today. If you like any of them, you can go and make the proposal yourself."
"Of course, you don't need to show up when we marry our grandson's wife. Let me go back and discuss it with your brothers and sisters-in-law. We must first take out the money for the betrothal gift."
Shuwen was wearing new clothes today, and from a distance he looked quite high-spirited. Seeing his grandparents, he replied, "Grandpa, how was my performance as the eldest brother-in-law today?"
"He does look a bit like an older brother-in-law." Yan Bingfa patted his shoulder. "In the blink of an eye, you've all grown up, and your grandmother and I have grown old."
"Don't take me with you when you get old." Zhou curled her lips and smiled. "I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandchild. It all depends on when Shuwen will get married."
"You guys, forget it. I won't say any more. You've already started talking about me getting married. I'll go back to Pengdong's farm when the new year starts and see if you can find anyone." Shuwen looked at Chunxiao, "Aunt, you're going there too, right?"
Chunxiao shook her head. "I'm not going there for now. I've finally sorted things out over there, so I'm just staying home and feeling much more comfortable." A few of them sat in the yard. "Have you got any notice about this year's crops? Anything about growing crops?"
Everyone in the yard shook their heads.
It's really hard to figure out what the attitude of the higher-ups is.
"Are you not leaving after the New Year?" Zhou looked at her happily.
"Yes, now that Zhuangzi is doing well, let them manage it themselves. I'm too lazy to run away. I'd rather stay in Qingzhou."
"I'm afraid your second brother and I have to go and take a look, otherwise we won't feel at ease. Duo'er and Pan'er won't go. The sun is very strong over there, and people will get tanned if they stay there for a long time." Zhang was obviously more talkative than before.
"Lan'er, if you go outside, you can take Qian'er with you. He is much more stable now that he has returned from the military camp. Maybe he can help you." Zhang's mother, Zhao, said so.
"Mom, my younger brother is not young anymore. You should focus on finding him a husband first. It will be hard to find one in two years."
Zhao curled her lips and said, "With such limited conditions at home, how could we possibly find someone good? I asked you to find a matchmaker, but you didn't want to."
"Okay, stop complaining." Zhang Zhongchi felt regretful when he saw his daughter. He had neglected her in the past, but now that she was doing well, did she really want her to be so kind to her parents? It would be good enough if she could help out a little.
Mrs. Zhou also came over to smooth things over. "Yes, the most important thing now is the child. Some people in our village have already started talking about Xiang. There will definitely be a lot of weddings next year, so we have to hurry up."
"Mother-in-law, with your family's conditions, you will have no trouble finding a wife. We have to make arrangements."
With so many guests at home, Chunxiao couldn't leave for the time being, so she simply sat in the corner and talked quietly with Zhang Yuqing's family.
