Chapter 137 Jiang Yunzheng Gets Married
Qi Yunshen came out, and the two left the village chief's house and walked towards Gao's house.
There were not many people in the village. Qi Yunshen slipped into the Gao family's utility room, while Jiang Yunzheng stayed in the yard.
The wedding banquet was served in a big pot, and Jiang Yunzheng sprinkled some of the medicine prepared in advance into several pots.
After a while, there was a noise outside the Gao family.
Jiang Yunzheng looked outside and saw an old woman. She was thin, with a slightly bent back. She was dressed very neatly, with patterns embroidered on her cuffs and waist.
Jiang Yunzheng couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The old woman looked around and said to Jiang Yunzheng, "Woman, why are you here?"
"Girl" is the name used by the elders in the village to refer to the younger generation.
Jiang Yunzheng looked worried: "I just heard from Doctor Gao that the bride is missing, so I came to see her. Mother-in-law, are you..."
The old woman pointed in a direction.
The old woman's house is near the ancestral home, the one Qi Yunshen mentioned this morning.
Jiang Yunzheng looked at the other person calmly.
The old woman's wrinkled face was tense. "What are you doing here? Go back home quickly. This village is not the place for you. Leave now!"
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes moved slightly: "What happened in the village?"
At this time, the old woman stopped talking and stared at Jiang Yunzheng without hesitation, even directly attacking her: "Go back to your home quickly, where is your husband?"
Jiang Yunzheng: "My husband and the village chief's son went to look for someone."
After she finished speaking, the old woman paused, then sighed. When she was about to say something, she saw Doctor Gao and others coming back.
The old woman didn't want to stay here. After looking at Jiang Yunzheng for a few seconds, she went somewhere else.
Everyone in the group had unhappy expressions on their faces, especially the village chief, who had a dark face. The group of men behind him looked angry, and several women followed behind with tired looks.
Doctor Gao was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yunzheng in the courtyard. "Mrs. Qi, why are you here? Where is Brother Qi?"
Jiang Yunzheng frowned. "My husband just met Gao Chen and the village chief's son. The three of them went to the back mountain and said they were looking for a bride together..."
As soon as he finished speaking, malicious smiles flashed in the eyes of a group of men.
The village chief looked in the direction of his home, then glanced at Doctor Jiang, and said with a slow smile, "In that case, could you please ask Madam Qi for a favor?"
Jiang Yunzheng smiled: "What?"
Doctor Gao pretended to be unhappy and said to the village chief: "No, Madam Qi is a married woman, we——"
The village chief smiled and said:
"Today is a grand occasion for our village. The future prosperity of Songshu Village depends on today's wedding. Since we saved Madam Qi and her husband, I'm sure Madam Qi won't stand idly by, right?"
Jiang Yunzheng looked terrified: "What are you going to do?"
Gao Xiu sighed, "Xiaomei ran away. Will Madam Qi be willing to marry me in her place?"
After he finished speaking, Gao Xiu's face was full of ferocity.
Jiang Yunzheng turned around and was about to run.
The village chief glanced at the strong women who were grabbing Jiang Yunzheng and dragging her into the room.
In the courtyard, the village chief stared at Gao Xiu with an unsure expression, "Keep an eye on him this time."
Gao Xiu nodded.
In the house.
Several women wanted to take off Jiang Yunzheng's clothes directly, but Jiang Yunzheng quickly waved her hand and said, "I can do it myself."
Xiaomei's wedding dress was on the ground. She took it off and ran away.
Jiang Yunzheng's face was filled with sorrow. "What exactly are you going to do?"
A woman sighed, "Sister, be obedient and be honest, only then can you survive."
"Being alive is better than being dead!"
"Marry Dr. Gao as long as you give birth to a healthy child..." At this point, one of the women wiped away her tears.
Several women were talking to each other.
Jiang Yunzheng wiped her eyes and said, "But I'm infertile."
One of the women was shocked and said subconsciously: "If I can't give birth to a child, I will be eaten!"
The other women kicked, scolded, and pinched her, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Yunzheng pretended not to hear: "What did you say?"
The woman waved her hands quickly, her face expressionless, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Nothing, nothing."
Several women dressed Jiang Yunzheng up.
Looking at the pale face in the bronze mirror, Jiang Yunzheng's brows jumped.
Looking out from the gap in the window, the woman who had let the cat out of the bag earlier was speaking cautiously to Gao Xiu. Suddenly, Gao Xiu slapped the woman with a cold face.
The woman lay on the ground, trembling: "Don't eat me, don't eat me."
Jiang Yunzheng frowned.
The woman behind him kept saying:
"Doctor Gao is the most handsome man in our village. Although he is not as tall as your husband, he is still pretty good."
"Whatever your infertility condition, Doctor Gao can cure it for you."
…
Jiang Yunzheng suppressed her impatience, her face pale with fear. She asked softly, "Will everyone in the village come tonight?"
"Of course, all the men who are in charge of the family will come."
-
Soon the yard was full of people, and the village chef was cooking with a big spoon.
There was soon movement at the door. One of the women, dressed as a bridesmaid, knocked on the door and asked, "Is the bride ready? Is it time to get married?"
The woman behind Jiang Yunzheng quickly said, "Alright, alright."
As he said that, he pushed Jiang Yunzheng out.
The ceremony took place in the main hall, with the village chief sitting in the main seat.
Jiang Yunzheng was pushed to the door of the main hall, with a veil covering her head. Soon, a pair of shoes appeared in front of her. The matchmaker put one end of the red belt into Jiang Yunzheng's hand.
The other side was led by Gao Xiu.
First, worship heaven and earth, then worship parents, and finally husband and wife worship each other.
There were three steps. Either Gao Xiu tripped over the door frame or sprained his ankle. In the end, his hand shook so much that he almost lost his grip on the red belt.
During the whole process, there was an old man holding a bowl of water in his hand, muttering to himself, sprinkling the water all over the yard, and then going into the main room to sprinkle water.
It means having many children.
Gao Xiu looked outside the hall angrily, but no one was playing a prank.
The villagers, with simple and honest faces, looked at Gao Xiu with envy in their eyes. From the first day Jiang Yunzheng and his wife entered the village, these people had their eyes on Jiang Yunzheng.
Gao Xiu wanted to go through the three steps again.
The village chief shook his head: "No, it would be bad if we missed the auspicious time. Let's send her in first."
According to the customs of the village.
After the bride enters the bridal chamber, the groom will first accompany the guests for dinner and drinks, and the wedding night will begin in the evening.
As soon as Jiang Yunzheng entered the room, she closed the window, leaving only a gap for observation.
After the woman said some auspicious words, she left Jiang Yunzheng alone in the room, with someone guarding the door to prevent the bride from escaping again.
Only then did Jiang Yunzheng have time to take a closer look at the exhibits in the room.
The house was built many years ago with mud walls covered with small old paintings.
Jiang Yunzheng stared at the painting, frowning slightly.
As the sky gradually darkened, most of the villagers outside collapsed on the table.
Gao Xiu didn't eat any food, but drank a lot of wine. He was supported by the village chief and walked into the house tremblingly.
Jiang Yunzheng, dressed in red, sat by the bed and said sadly, "Where is my husband?"
The village chief's eyes flashed: "Your husband has his own place to go."
Gao Zhu and Gao Chen had not returned yet, and the village chief was suspicious, but not too worried.
A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
That Master Qi is nothing to be afraid of.
There was something hidden in the village chief's words, and Jiang Yunzheng lay down on the bed and started crying.
Gao Xiu felt pity. Even without Xiaomei, Madam Qi was not bad.
There are no normal women in the village now. If no normal children can be born, Songshu Village will be finished.
The village chief patted Gao Xiu on the shoulder and walked out.
The door was closed, and Gao Xiu's red cheeks were reflected in the bronze mirror.
But at this moment, Jiang Yunzheng approached without anyone noticing, "Let me help you change your clothes."
Gao Xiu spoke faster than he could think: "Okay."
Jiang Yunzheng reached out to undress Gao Xiu.
The next moment, a hairpin passed through Gao Xiu's back, and the tip of the hairpin emerged through his flesh and clothes.
There was a deep pool of blood on Gao Xiu's red clothes.
Jiang Yunzheng's lips curled up slightly: "Still want to kill me? Wait until next life."
After saying that, Jiang Yunzheng pulled out the hairpin, and Gao Xiu fell straight down, staring at Jiang Yunzheng in disbelief.
