Pei Shaorong had never been formally married before and didn't understand the ancient rules. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with the Qin family, and he could go to their house to ask for their advice.
Aunt Qin was naturally happy to answer his questions. Moreover, Pei Shaorong gave Aunt Qin two hundred copper coins as a matchmaker to thank her, which made Aunt Qin so happy that she didn't know which way to go. You know, it's usually good enough to give a hundred copper coins when proposing a marriage.
After Aunt Qin's suggestion, Pei Shaorong roughly understood what he had to do for his marriage. In addition to decorating his own house, he also had to prepare the wedding banquet.
According to Aunt Qin, he is so "poor" now, there is actually no need to hold a banquet. It would be enough to buy some wedding cakes and boiled peanuts and distribute them to the villagers to liven up the atmosphere. Most of the young men in the village do the same when they get married.
However, Pei Shaorong didn't want to do this. He really didn't have much money now, but what was the point of going to the person's house and taking him home?
I can't give Abao the luxurious car, villa and wedding he once dreamed of when he married his wife, but I can't just take her home quietly like this.
Thinking about going to the Mo family alone and bringing someone home to get married, Pei Shaorong felt that it was so shabby. What was the point of having such a shabby marriage for a lifetime...
After weighing the money in his hand, Pei Shaorong decided to prepare a few tables of drinks and invite the villagers to liven up the party. In addition to increasing the popularity of his wedding, he could also build good relationships with everyone.
Anyway, pork is the most important part of the banquet, and he has plenty of it in his space. He should finish the meat in his space as soon as possible so that he can enjoy this ancient natural pork. He has been thinking about this for a long time...
After making the plan, Pei Shaorong started going to the town every day. In addition to buying things needed for the wedding, he also had to continue selling skewers to make money, and put the fruit preserves aside for the time being as he was too busy to handle it all by himself.
Otherwise, when the wedding is over, you will be happy, but the money is gone, what will you do when Xiaobao marries you?
I have enough food, but I still need to spend money on clothes, shoes, pots and pans, socializing with friends, etc. I can't wear modern clothes in the space or make clothes with leftover sheets...
Of course, before going to the town, Pei Shaorong asked Aunt Qin to pass the two pieces of red cloth he had bought in advance to Mo Xiaobao. He especially wanted to wear the wedding dress made for him by Abao himself, which would be so meaningful.
With the anticipation of getting married, Pei Shaorong worked hard in the town every day to sell skewers, and then used the money to buy things for his wife in the town.
Not only did he have to prepare things for the wedding, he also had to prepare clothes, shoes and other things for Abao. Although he really liked Abao to make clothes and shoes for him personally, that was too tiring and too harmful to his eyes.
Pei Shaorong also started to clean and decorate his house. He didn't care much about it before because he lived alone, but now that he is getting married, of course he has to clean it up.
Especially in the kitchen for cooking, Pei Shaorong has always used the gas tank in the space because he is not used to burning ancient firewood. He is also used to putting food in the space, so the whole kitchen is empty.
All the pots, pans, and other things have to be bought new. Being married is not like being single. When Abao's relatives and friends come to visit, he can't be without even any bowls. The windows and doors also have to be pasted with red paper-cuts to make it festive!
After planning step by step, Pei Shaorong did not feel it was tedious or strenuous. Instead, he felt full of strength and had a feeling of taking root in this world...
On the other side, Mo Xiaobao was so happy when he received the red cloth sent by Aunt Qin. The red cloth used to make wedding clothes was not cheap and was rare. No matter what the quality of a piece of red cloth was, its price could buy two pieces of linen from ordinary people.
Because red cloth is expensive and is only worn once, on the wedding day, many country families are unwilling to buy bright red cloth.
In the village, when a girl gets married, she is basically given a dress with red flowers on it, which she can continue to wear after the wedding day. When a boy gets married, many of them just give him a small red jacket.
Pei Shaorong didn't know the customs here. The two pieces of red cloth sent over were both bright red, festive, and made of cotton. Even if he knew, with his personality, as long as he had the ability, he would not compromise himself or the people he cared about.
Touching the red cloth, Mo Xiaobao smiled sweetly, and the anxiety in his heart was relieved a lot. It seemed that Brother Pei really liked him, otherwise why would he marry him, a worthless and bad-reputation boy, according to the standards of a normal boy in the village?
There was also a wedding dress made of bright red cloth. He had only seen Sister Xiangrong from the village chief's family wearing it when she got married. The girls and boys in the village were extremely envious at the time. He was also the same. He never thought that he would have such a day!
Although he was happy, Mo Xiaobao was still a little worried. He had seen this red cloth in the cloth shop in town, and one piece cost more than one or two taels of silver, which was too expensive.
The whole village knows that Pei Shaorong is poor, and Mo Xiaobao also has the same perception. Now that he has used up all his money for a moment of glory, how will he and Brother Pei live in the future?
After thinking about it, Mo Xiaobao sneaked out of the house again without telling his father and ran to find Pei Shaorong...
"Brother Pei——"
Mo Xiaobao hid behind a big tree outside the village entrance and called out to Pei Shaorong, who had just bought some wedding items after selling skewers in town.
The tree is very big. I heard from the old people in the village that the tree has been here since they were young. It is at least a hundred years old. The huge trunk is big enough to cover Mo Xiaobao's figure.
Hearing the voice, Pei Shaorong turned around and saw Mo Xiaobao's little head sticking out from behind the big tree, waving at him with joy on his face.
Seeing that there was no one around, Pei Shaorong hurried over with the backpack on his back. In ancient times, newlyweds were not allowed to meet each other before marriage. If someone saw A Bao coming to him on his own initiative, A Bao would definitely be pointed at.
However, they had not seen each other since their engagement, and Pei Shaorong missed her terribly. For the first time, he understood what the ancient saying "a day without seeing you feels like three years" meant.
Looking around at Mo Xiaobao, Pei Shaorong nodded in his heart. Well, he looks good, just a little thin. He will have to give him some nourishment when Abao comes!
Seeing Pei Shaorong staring at him, Mo Xiaobao felt a little shy. He was afraid that Pei Shaorong would think that his behavior of taking the initiative to find someone before marriage was too frivolous, so he quickly took out the red cloth behind him.
"Brother Pei, you should take this red cloth to the cloth shop to return it..."
After being happy for two days, Mo Xiaobao still felt that he couldn't spend all of Pei Shaorong's money just for the glory of the wedding day.
It's an outfit she'll only wear once anyway, so when the time comes, she can just wear a red jacket like other boys in the village when they get married.
Besides, his father had been eyeing the red cloth sent by Pei Shaorong these past two days, and he must be thinking of taking the red cloth away and exchanging it for silver to put in his pocket.
If this cloth was really taken away by his father, he would not be able to wear the wedding dress and the money would be wasted, just like the three strings of silver that Brother Pei helped him with the first time. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"..." Pei Shaorong didn't rush to speak, but smiled in his heart. Whatever Mo Xiaobao was thinking was shown on his face, so how could he not see it? The little guy is worried about him!
But before he could say anything, Mo Xiaobao said, "Forget it, I'll return the cloth. Brother Pei, you are so honest, the owner of the cloth shop will definitely cheat you. We are not looking for the glory of getting married. We want to keep this money for buying land and living in the future, and..." And we have to raise the baby in the future!
Mo Xiaobao didn't say the rest of the words. He felt so ashamed that he secretly cursed himself for not being able to learn the modesty of the young men in the village...
Mo Xiaobao was thinking about something in his mind, and the expression on his face changed accordingly, sometimes smart, sometimes silly, and sometimes shy, which made Pei Shaorong very happy.
Shaking his head with amusement, Pei Shaorong looked around to see that there was no one around, so he pulled Mo Xiaobao in front of him and spoke softly without hesitation.
"A Bao, this cloth won't be returned. I still want to take you home wearing the wedding dress you made for me. I also want to see you in the red wedding dress. It will definitely look better than now!"
Mo Xiaobao was about to say something, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes immediately curved with laughter. "Really? Brother Pei really thinks Abao is pretty?"
This was the first time that Mo Xiaobao heard someone praise his good looks. In the past, everyone in the village said that his sister was pretty.
"Yeah, it looks good!" Pei Shaorong nodded affirmatively. Abao has a very handsome appearance, especially his eyes, which are particularly bright and look very cute.
However, the appreciation standards of the people here seem to be a little different from his, because the status of boys is equal to that of women, and people here think that feminine boys are good-looking.
And Mo Xiaobao's appearance was not feminine, but more like a handsome and sunny boy. Coupled with his carefree and irritable personality, he did not look like a young man at all.
Pei Shaorong didn't sound like he was lying, and Mo Xiaobao was delighted again when he got the affirmation. There is no one in the world who doesn't like to be praised by the person he admires.
Mo Xiaobao was happy in his heart, and was pulled by Pei Shaorong. He began to feel shy again. Brother Pei was really... They haven't gotten married yet. It would be so embarrassing if the villagers saw them hugging each other.
However, despite being embarrassed, Mo Xiaobao did not struggle to break free. With a red face, he secretly reached out and hugged Pei Shaorong. His eyes narrowed again with a smile on his face, and the sweetness in his heart was self-evident.
For fear of being seen by the villagers and leaving some comments, the two of them separated after not staying together for too long. When they were leaving, Mo Xiaobao saw the red candles and wedding paper that Pei Shaorong had bought in his backpack, and his heart was filled with joy again.
After mumbling "Don't waste your money", Mo Xiaobao ran back home with the red cloth in his arms, looking very sweet.
