Zhao Bing wore a brand new Zhongshan suit today, which was ironed meticulously.
Meng Jiao pushed and shoved, wrinkling his clothes! Zhao Bing held his breath. If she wasn't pregnant, he would have slapped her twice!
He raised his hand to check the time. There were only ten minutes left before getting off the sedan chair. If he didn't leave now, he would definitely miss it.
He had no choice but to open the car door and get out.
Up ahead, his cousin Zhao Lei was already communicating with the other party.
It seems that both parties know each other.
"Brother Shengzi, what happened today is truly a coincidence! The road is so narrow, one side has to take a step back, don't you think?"
Zhao Lei, the eldest son of the second branch of the Zhao family, grew up in the compound. Although his family was kicked out of the compound by Mr. Zhao some time ago because of the incident between his mother Wang Yuzhen and Liu Jiajia, he has had some encounters with these young men in the compound.
He handed everyone a cigarette and discussed with them.
"We can't give way!" Shengzi exhaled a puff of cigarette. "You just turned in and are close to the intersection. Please step back!"
As Su Jin's best friend, he naturally sided with his brother! His brother had been single for so many years and was finally getting married, so how could he let this bad luck happen!
"Leizi, who is this?"
Zhao Bing walked over and heard the other party asking him to step back! He frowned and looked a little unhappy.
“We are all brothers from the compound!”
Zhao Lei saw that he looked unhappy, so he winked at him and said,
"Brother Bing, if we don't go back now, we'll miss the auspicious time!
How about we give in a little? Let Brother Shengzi and the others go first?"
Although the "Four Olds" campaign labeled many old customs as feudal superstitions, the situation has improved in the past two years, and many harmless old customs are still followed, such as choosing an auspicious time.
Marriage is a major event that affects one's entire life. Ordinary people would rather believe it than not. For good luck, every family will usually choose the time to get in and out of the sedan chair in advance.
The so-called "getting on and getting off the sedan chair" actually refers to the bride getting on the sedan chair from her parents' home and getting off the sedan chair when she arrives at her husband's home. This is also a traditional saying. In ancient times, there were no cars like today, and wealthy families would carry sedan chairs to pick up their brides!
Zhao Bing had just been nagged by Meng Jiao and was already in a bad mood, so how could he care about so many things!
"Since we are all from the compound, you should all know the name of my old man Zhao. Please give him some respect and make way for him!"
Zhao Bing didn't know which family's wedding procession they were. He glanced into the Hongqi car, but couldn't see anything clearly.
Shengzi was used to being a boss in the compound, so how could he listen to what he said!
"Yo! Who are you trying to scare with the old man? Ask the brothers present here, who doesn't have an old man in their family?"
"Hahaha!"
Shengzi's words made the brothers laugh!
Su Jin joined the army when he was a teenager. He had no friends in Kyoto except the brothers who grew up with him in the compound.
Among those who came with him to welcome the bride today, there is really no one who does not have an elderly father at home!
"But even if you really fight the old man, you might not be able to get through today!"
Shengzi glanced at him with a disdainful tone.
Zhao Bing felt a little embarrassed by the other party's laughter!
He is the groom today, and it is inevitable that he feels a little dissatisfied when being ridiculed like this!
He clenched his fists, but didn't dare to fight back!
The other side clearly has more people than us! And they are all strong and muscular, and it is obvious that they are not to be trifled with!
Unlike my side, which is full of weak nerds!
He really regretted it! In order to highlight his tall and handsome appearance today, he specially invited these average-looking and thin classmates when selecting the wedding party.
If he had known that this would happen today, he should have chosen the stronger one! At least he could have fought the other one!
But it’s too late to say anything now!
"Ding ding!" Meng Jiao asked the driver to honk the horn! It was really too late!
Zhao Bing looked back at her and became even more annoyed!
"I can pay! 50 yuan! I'll give you 50 yuan, just get out of the way!" He gritted his teeth and said cruelly.
"Ha! Who are you looking down on?" Su Xing happened to walk over at this time. "I'll give you 100, just get out of the way!"
At this time, Lan Guoer also followed.
When he saw Su Xing and Lan Guoer, Zhao Bing finally knew which family's wedding procession this was!
At the same time, he took another breath!
The Su family has neither money nor power. Looking at the momentum of each of the other parties, how can he compete with them?
"I'll give way, are you really willing to pay a hundred?"
It must be said that Zhao Bing's ability to bend and stretch is quite admirable! At this moment, he demonstrated his ability to judge people by their appearance.
Su Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at him! He just said it casually to test his words, but he didn't expect the other party to accept it!
One hundred yuan was nothing to Su Xing at the moment. But given how cheap it was, Su Xing felt he was losing out, considering his business acumen.
Zhao Bing naturally had his own plans in mind.
Anyway, he can't win by fighting or competing, so isn't it the same as making money if he can get some for free?
He married Meng Jiao, and his family paid 200 yuan for the bride price. If he just gave way, he could get half of it back! Why not?
“Ding ding ding!”
Meng Jiao urged again from the car! There were only a few minutes left before getting off the sedan! Even if we set off now, we might not be able to catch up.
She was so angry that she was about to die, and she was full of complaints towards Zhao Bing.
He was a grown man, the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, but he couldn't even handle such a small matter. She even regretted following him in the first place.
If Meng Mu had not repeatedly instructed that the bride's feet must not touch the ground before getting out of the sedan chair, she would have wanted to get out of the car herself and argue with the other party.
She glanced at the car parked across the street. Although she was very angry, she felt somewhat comforted.
She had missed the auspicious time to enter, but wasn't the bride across the street also delayed? Thinking that she wasn't the only one suffering, she felt much better.
After Lan Guoer came over, the people she was most concerned about were of course Long Xiangling and Su Jin.
She looked left and right but couldn't see the two of them.
Seeing Su Xing and Zhao Bing staring at each other again, she moved closer to Shengzi and asked in a low voice, "Where are my brother and the others?"
"Hi!" Shengzi said speechlessly.
"Your brother thought we were in the way and wouldn't let us get too close to him. He actually left us hundreds of meters behind and ran away with his wife. They might even be at our doorstep by now!"
Lan Guoer: “…”
It turns out they were stuck here for a long time, and the bride and groom had no idea anything was happening!
However, it was a good thing that the bride and groom left early, so they didn't have to rush to get off the sedan chair! As long as Su Jin and Long Xiangling didn't miss it, it would be fine.
