Chapter 585: Son-in-law is here!
The musicians beat the clappers rapidly, and then the sounds of wooden fish and gongs gradually rose, followed by the sounds of drums.
Zhao Siqi looked at the team of musicians. They were wearing red clothes and had red ribbons tied around their instruments. They looked very cheerful.
However, music comes from the heart, and the musician himself is still uneasy. The melody he plays is sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes up, sometimes down, so fast that it makes people's hearts beat rapidly and finely.
The old man's beard twitched as he said, "Happy event! Happy event! I want something warm and festive!"
The sounds of gongs, drums and wooden fish suddenly became lively.
The old man laughed sadly and said, "Xiao Qiqi, you have suffered so much."
The Seventeenth Girl wiped her tears silently and said, "Don't cry, it's worth it. I just miss my father, but we will never see each other again."
The old man raised his glass with tears in his eyes and said, "Come on! Cheers to Seventeen's wedding!"
The guests raised their glasses and shouted, "Congratulations to Miss Seventeen!"
The guests drank it all in one gulp, and the strong smell of alcohol rushed to their heads, and their originally cold and trembling hearts gradually became numb.
The bride also took a seat and was served the most sumptuous meal alone, including delicious meat and wine, and sweet candied fruits. The bride opened her mouth wide and ate in an extremely uncivilized manner. Her mouth moved and chewed rapidly, as if she was a starving ghost reincarnated.
The guests present also began to eat happily, and the sadness and grief disappeared. They competed with each other and almost fought at the banquet.
Zhao Siqi listened to the increasingly noisy, enthusiastic and festive tunes, and looked at the four people around him, their hands full of wine, meat and candied fruits, eating with their mouths full of oil, and no longer with sad expressions. He just felt that it was extremely funny and weird.
He didn't dare eat too much, so he only ate two pieces of dried fruit and then refused to eat any more.
Seeing these four men enjoying themselves with wine and meat, I was really curious and asked, "Is this a happy event?"
The four men ate with their mouths drooling, saying, "It's a happy occasion, a great happy occasion!"
The guests in the venue were laughing, making noises, and talking loudly to the festive and lively tunes.
"That guy is marrying our girl, he is marrying above his station!"
"That's right! Our girl is kind-hearted and chose him."
Zhao Siqi found it increasingly strange and asked, "Who is your son-in-law? Why do you all seem to dislike him?"
The four men dropped the full, fatty meat in their hands onto the table, and then began to burp.
As if he was frightened, he burped one after another.
Zhao Siqi quickly handed over the wine jug at hand, and the four of them scrambled to drink. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Why bring up his hiccups? He's not going to hiccup anymore anyway."
Zhao Siqi looked at the fat girl. The old man had also drunk two cups of wine and had stopped crying. He held the wine glass in front of the fat girl and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't rush."
"Today is your big day, why are you crying?"
"Although that fellow looks a little scary, he is your son-in-law after all. You must serve him well."
The seventeenth girl could only hear him babble in her ear while she stuffed food into her mouth desperately. Her facial features were squeezed into her fat face, with only her eyes showing, shedding tears.
Zhao Siqi felt sad when he saw this, but he didn't know what he was sad about.
Boom boom boom!
The big drum sounds.
The old man and the guests immediately changed their expressions, surrounded the Seventeenth Girl eagerly, and kept saying auspicious words.
"The auspicious time has arrived, girl, get going!"
The gongs and drums are beating!
Several strong women came forward to help Seventeenth Girl up, but she was sitting on the chair, leaning over the table, and didn't move at all.
"The auspicious time has arrived, girl!"
Seventeenth girl's tears burst out like a dam, and her hands were still stuffing food into her mouth.
The old man's face changed and he immediately ordered his attendants to clear the table.
The cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks were all thrown on the ground. Seventeenth Girl's hands were empty, but she still didn't want to get up. She just lowered her head and sobbed.
The old man advised: "Good seventeen! It's the auspicious time!"
The guests around also advised: "Girl, that man is tall and big, and has an extraordinary appearance!"
"That young man is very skilled at climbing walls and flying over rooftops!"
"He's a good man, and kind-hearted!"
Several women knelt down and begged her, saying, "Seventeenth Miss! If you don't go, who will? Please have mercy on me."
The old man was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and called out all his children, who were little boys and girls with rosy cheeks, and they looked at Seventeenth Girl and called her "sister".
The old man said, "Hurry up and ask Sister Seventeen for help."
"elder sister……"
"elder sister."
Seventeen closed his eyes and relaxed his arms.
The table was immediately snatched away by the people around her. Several strong women immediately helped her to stand up, and several maids brought hot water to wash her face.
The red rouge and oily stains were washed off, revealing the white flesh.
The fleshy Seventeenth Girl numbly allowed herself to be dressed, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a scream: "My son-in-law is coming!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a pair of green eyes overlooking the entire courtyard above the red light of the lanterns in the dark night.
The light illuminated the owner of the eye, revealing the gray hair on his chest and abdomen, and illuminating the black and gray stripes on his limbs that looked like tiger skin.
"Meow--"
With a cat's meow, the drum music in the courtyard stopped abruptly. Only the sound of gongs, drums, wooden fish and other instruments falling to the ground was heard. The visitor's ears trembled in surprise, and he looked in the direction of the musicians.
The musician fell to the ground, and his red robe slowly fell down. A huge rat came out from it and disappeared into the darkness.
Not only the musicians, but all the guests in the garden were frightened and scattered in all directions, with big, sleek rats running around everywhere.
Only the old man and Seventeenth Girl remained motionless. The old man, leaning on his cane and trembling all over, called out, "My dear son-in-law! Why can't you wait? I'll take Little Seventeen over right away!"
Before he could finish his words, a claw shot out like lightning and easily pressed down on the old man. The sharp claws locked onto the old man's chest and abdomen. With just a slight shake, the old man fell to the ground and turned into a rat with gray hair and beard, trying hard to escape.
But as soon as he moved, his son-in-law couldn't help but hit him hard again, leaving seven or eight bloody holes in his body.
Seventeenth girl wailed and pounced forward, turning into a huge fat female rat. She rushed to the gray and white rat and tried to drag him away.
But the cruel husband had no mercy. He meowed like a cat, then trampled through the yard and broke into the house. He grabbed the gray-white rat with one claw and held the female rat in his mouth. There was a crisp sound, and the female rat fell silent.
