Chapter 77, Marriage
This day was her wedding day with He Anze.
Villagers are different from city dwellers. They pay more attention to wedding matters than city dwellers, such as worshiping ancestors, combing hair, putting on makeup (that is, plucking facial hair), and waiting for an auspicious time to get married.
Mei Xue was pulled up by several elderly people living in the house at around three o'clock.
First, let Mei Xue take a shower, and then replace all the things on the bed with new ones.
Then install the quilt cover, which is a dragon and phoenix quilt cover.
The two sets of quilt covers that Mei Xue made herself were put away.
"Xiaoxue, change into your new clothes, the red one. Anze will come to carry you out to the wedding ceremony later." Grandma Jinghua took care of Meixue, while the other two were in charge of making the bed, spreading blessings, arranging the quilts for future generations, etc.
"Oh." Mei Xue had been holding it in until this morning, and now this matter is over.
Grandma also told her to listen to Grandma Jinghua and the others.
Mei Xue did not feel happy at this wedding. She only felt it was troublesome, but she did not feel unhappy or expectant.
Just like completing a mission assigned by grandma.
And He Anze is the target of the mission.
By the time Mei Xue changed her clothes and came out, it was already dawn. It was impossible to get married at this time, and the bed was also fresh and bright red.
It means prosperity.
"Xiaoxue, sit on the bed and wait for Anze to come and carry you to the main hall for the ceremony." Seeing that Xiaoxue had packed up, Grandma Jinghua said with a loving face.
"Um."
Outside the He family's house, things became lively as firecrackers began to blare, and the ancestor worship ceremony began.
After paying homage to the ancestors, He Anze came to pick up Mei Xue to pay homage to her parents.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a person sitting on the bed, wearing a red dress that was gorgeous yet dignified.
The printed plum blossoms and snow are even more beautiful.
Mei Xue's facial features were originally very beautiful, and her skin was milky white, so the red dress did not suppress her temperament at all.
Instead, it makes Mei Xue even more eye-catching.
"Xiaoxue, I'm here to take you to the wedding hall." He Anze almost lost his soul when he came in, but fortunately he was determined.
Mei Xue looked at him and nodded.
As soon as he got closer, He Anze squatted down and said, "Come, I'll carry you."
"No need. I'll walk there." Mei Xue refused.
Grandma Jinghua, who was standing aside, wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she was stopped by Grandma Li and the others.
"Okay." He Anze knew that she didn't want him to carry her on his back, and carrying his wife on his back was just a rule passed down by the elders in their village.
Holding Mei Xue's hand, He Anze led her out step by step.
There were already a lot of people gathered outside, all coming to see the bride and get some wedding candy.
"Why are you holding me? Life is not easy for a woman. If you don't enjoy the service of a man during the few steps before the wedding ceremony, you will never have another chance in the future." Grandma Jinghua said with an unhappy look on her face.
"Don't you see that Xiaoxue is a girl with her own ideas? If she doesn't want to do it, what's the point of forcing her?" Grandma Li shook her head. "Besides, will Anze let his wife suffer?"
"That's right. Haven't you seen how much Mrs. He loves her granddaughter-in-law these days?" Grandma Meng said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly. We have things to take care of ahead." The three grandmothers also came out of the room.
Grandma He was the only one sitting on the high hall.
There was a piece of red paper in front of her, which was for the newlyweds to kneel down and worship.
When Grandma He saw that Mei Xue came here by herself, her face became even happier. She said, "I want men to love women more."
Go away, that's because a woman loves her man.
Mei Xue didn't know the rules, but she would still come over even so.
"kneel."
Grandma Jinghua walked over to Grandma He and stood beside her, then shouted loudly to the outside.
Grandma Meng and Grandma Li stood next to Mei Xue and He Anze.

After Grandma Jinghua recited a long passage of auspicious words, Mei Xue and He Anze kowtowed to Grandma He.
Only after they kowtowed three times did the two of them stand up.
Then the quotations of great men were read out, this time led by the village chief.
Soon, the deafening sound of the great man's quotations could be heard from the He family's yard. The thick clouds seemed to be shaken away by the quotations, and the sun also showed its smiling face.
"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber."
Following Grandma Jinghua's call, the newlyweds were pushed into the bridal chamber by everyone.
Here, everyone, regardless of age, jumped onto the newlyweds' bed and rushed forward to grab the wedding fruits.
There are red dates, peanuts, dried longans and candies in it. The quantity is limited, so whoever grabs it first gets it.
Mei Xue didn't know who bumped into her and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, He Anze was standing next to her. He pulled her back with one hand and let her lean on him. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, what are they doing?" Mei Xue is a mysophobe and doesn't like others touching her things.
This was the only little temper she had in that world.
"They are grabbing the auspicious fruit. It will be over in a while. It's okay." Looking at so many people, He Anze was very happy. The more people there are, the greater the blessing.
He and she can be together forever.
Just as He Anze said, these people were driven out by Grandma Jinghua and the others after a while.
This is also the reason why these people are rushing to grab it, just because there is a time limit.
Fortunately, He Anze bought a lot of wedding fruits, and Grandma He was not a stingy person (of course, when it came to Mei Xue), so she let Grandma Quanfu put a lot of things in.
Basically everyone who came got a lot of auspicious fruits.
After they finished walking, Grandma Jinghua and the others made the bed again and let the newlyweds move on their own. Then they retired after completing their mission.
"I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon." After taking the red envelopes, the three of them left.
"Xiaoxue, you must be tired. If you are, you can sleep for a while. Close the door when I go out." He Anze twisted a towel and handed it to Mei Xue, his tone full of heartache.
He knew exactly what time he got up this morning.
Grandma told him that Meixue had to get enough sleep on weekdays, otherwise she would feel tired all day.
Mei Xue didn't bother to be polite with him. The towel was new. She brought it back from the last time she went to town with her grandmother.
"Is it okay?" She still had some common sense. With so many people here today, could she sleep?
Seeing her distrustful look, He Anze smiled and touched Mei Xue's head, "It's okay, grandma and I are here."
Mei Xue didn't want to be polite with him. She really got up too early this morning and she felt uncomfortable.
After having enough sleep for several months, she suddenly became sleep deprived and was in a very bad mood.
"Okay, I'll take a nap. Remember to call me if anyone comes."
"Well, don't worry, I won't let you make a fool of yourself. I'll have someone guarding the door."
As the king of children, He Anze does have this ability.
"good."
It was impossible for them to have a wedding night in broad daylight. He still had many other things to do. His uncle was there to receive guests, so it had nothing for him to do.
The lunch at home was also handed over to the village chef.
I...forgot the time????????????
