Chapter 72 Live Goose as a Ceremony
“Ga ga ga~~~”
"Dong Dong Dong~~~"
I knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
Lu Qingyao pushed the door open and walked in.
Then I saw a bamboo cage in the yard, with a pair of live geese in the cage.
When Jiang Zifeng and his brother saw the living, flightless geese, they went up to tease them with joy.
The little baby wanted to go too, but was stopped by the chirping sound in his ear...
[There's a bad woman in the room... Jiang Qiao'er is crying, and my aunt is crying too...]
Jiang Miaomiao pointed inside the house and babbled.
Mother, mother... go inside...
Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu stopped beside the wild geese, hesitating whether to go in.
As people who have been through it, they naturally understand the meaning of this.
It is said in "Yili.com: The Wedding Ceremony of a Gentleman": "Nacai" refers to the ceremony of selecting the bride price, so the wedding ceremony is passed down to the lower level, and "Nacai" means the adoption of geese.
In ancient times, marriage customs included three books and six ceremonies.
Engagement letter, gift letter, and welcoming letter.
Accepting the bride's proposal, asking for the bride's name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gift, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride.
Bringing a live goose to propose marriage is the custom of accepting the bride's choice.
The man asks a matchmaker to go to the woman's home to propose marriage. After the woman agrees to the marriage, the man proposes to her with a live goose as a gift.
Wealthier families would use live geese as gifts, while ordinary families would use live chickens or geese as gifts.
Which family is Qiao'er promised to?
Could it be that my elder brother and his wife have already agreed to Qiao'er's marriage?
But it's only been two days, and I haven't heard my sister-in-law mention it before.
There's something fishy about this...
"Qiaoer...sister-in-law..." Lu Qingyao raised her voice and called out twice.
"Aaaaaaaah~~~" Jiang Miaomiao also shouted at the top of her voice.
Two people with tears in their eyes ran out from the ear room.
“Aunt…”
Jiang Qiaoer ran out and hugged Lu Qingyao. The little girl looked so adorable with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Zifeng's brother also came over and stood quietly by.
I wonder if all the ancestors of the Jiang family were good-looking.
All the children of the Jiang family are good-looking.
Jiang Yunze is particularly outstanding.
The daughters of the Jiang family were no less capable than her, which was why Jiang Qiaoer was often remembered by others.
It seems that there is another person who doesn't know whether to live or die.
But what about my sister-in-law?
She is usually quite fierce, but now she is standing aside wiping her tears with a wronged look on her face.
Is he being forced to marry again?
"Sister-in-law, what happened to you?" Lu Qingyao touched Jiang Qiaoer's head.
The little baby also touched his sister's hair.
So slippery!
It seems that my aunt treats Sister Qiaoer as her treasure.
Because she saw that many girls in the village had dry, split and frizzy hair.
Their parents were reluctant to use even a little bit of hair oil on them.
Also due to malnutrition.
Many families in the village think that daughters are a waste of money and most of them do not take good care of them.
Just like Sister Qiaoer’s fake sister Chen Zhaodi.
It was exchanged for money by parents.
Even though she became a concubine, her hair was still not as smooth as Sister Qiaoer's.
If you don't take good care of your child when he is young, you won't be able to take care of him when he grows up.
Liu Yu Niang wiped her tears and wanted to pull Lu Qingyao into the ear room to talk in private, but was stopped by a voice coming from the hall.
"Sister-in-law, are you from your mother's family?"
Before Liu Yu Niang could reply, the woman said, "You've come just in time. Let's discuss Qiao'er and Mingyuan's marriage together."
Lu Qingyao looked up and saw a woman in a brightly colored flowered jacket leaning against the doorstep, eating melon seeds, her face thickly smeared with powder.
Is this Jiang Qiaoer’s future in-laws?
Lu Qingyao didn't have a good impression of this woman.
Liu Yu Niang looked at the woman with red eyes, "Sister, Qingyao is not from my family, she is Jiang Yunze's wife..."
Then he looked at Lu Qingyao, "Sister-in-law, I guess you haven't met her yet. She is the eldest sister."
Eldest sister? Eldest sister-in-law?
Lu Qingyao almost forgot that there was such a person in the Jiang family.
Jiang Yunhu's biological sister, Jiang Yunyan, is six years older than him and got married early.
Lu Qingyao bowed and saluted, "Hello, big sister!"
"Hello, aunt!" Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan also bowed.
"Okay, everything is fine!" Jiang Yunyan's face was full of smiles.
Jiang Miaomiao was sucking her fingers, looking uninterested.
One good thing about babies is that they don’t have to bow or call out to their elders, and especially when they meet someone they don’t like, they can just ignore them.
very nice!
For the first time, I experienced the benefits of being a baby.
Jiang Yunyan walked down slowly, twisting her thick waist, and looked up and down at several people.
They are indeed Jiang Laoer’s offspring, and they all have good looks.
Especially the little guy, he looks like a snowman, like a doll in a painting.
However, Jiang Laoer's wife is much inferior to him.
Lu Qingyao also looked at her.
She was shocked when I first told her that it was Jiang Yunhu's elder sister.
The brother and sister don't look alike at all. Now it seems that Jiang Yunyan's eyebrows and eyes are more like Old Lady Jiang.
She's just plain-looking!
"Sister-in-law, please come in! I have a lot of personal things to tell you."
Jiang Yunyan wanted to step forward and hold Lu Qingyao's arm, but was blocked by Xiuxiu, and was a little angry.
Pointing at Xiuxiu, he asked, "Who is she? Your maid? How come she has no sense at all?"
Even Lu Qingyao bowed just now, but this dead girl just stood there, motionless!
Lu Qingyao frowned slightly when she heard this, "Sister, she is Xiuxiu, not my maid, but my adopted sister."
Xiuxiu was very moved after hearing this.
She has a family now, a family that treats her as a sister.
Jiang Yunyan smacked her lips. It was already like this, and they still kept a idler!
She had also heard about what happened in Jiang Laoer's family. She originally looked down on this abandoned woman.
But I also heard that she made a lot of money with the villagers.
Even her family made a fortune.
When I just came back, I saw the family enjoying a feast and the house had been renovated.
I also raised cows, sheep, and a lot of chickens...
She was so excited!
He immediately spent a fortune, prepared a pair of live geese, and sent a matchmaker to his house...
Lu Qingyao led the children into the hall.
Jiang Yunhu had already been waiting at the door, "Sister-in-law is here, come in and sit down!"
Lu Qingyao nodded slightly and walked in. She saw several people sitting in the room, with no intention of getting up.
A father and a son, one old and one young, were eating melon seeds in the house.
The old man has shifty eyes, his eyes are on top of his head, and he is very arrogant.
The younger one looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, fat and bloated, even fatter than Jiang Zifeng.
Jiang Miaomiao used to think that her elder brother was fat, but when she saw this fat man, she was surprised to find that her elder brother was not fat at all, just strong.
The person in front of her reminded her of Paige...
He kept yawning, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
There was also an old woman with a big flower in her hair and makeup on, who had no intention of getting up.
When he saw Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan, he immediately came over.
They act as matchmakers and are very good at judging people.
They can categorize the men and women they have seen into different levels at a glance.
Regardless of their wealth, judging from the way these two people speak and behave, they are of extraordinary character and appearance, and must be of top quality.
He is not old enough yet and needs to be taken care of.
I'm sure I'll be able to marry into a wealthy family by then!
