Zhang He didn't like Zhang Bing and Zhang Hui's family, but it was one thing that she didn't like them, and another thing about family etiquette. Normally, there would be no problem if she didn't invite the two families, but this time for her wedding, not only Zhang Tingguan would come, but the Liu family would also come. Zhang Bing and Zhang Hui are her cousins, and they live in the same village. Not inviting them is really unjustifiable.

　She asked Zhang Xian: "Does Lu'er hope that his uncles will come to have a wedding banquet?"

　Zhang Xian didn't think that complicated. He only made his decision based on his own likes and dislikes. He curled his lips and said, "No." "

　Okay, then. I won't invite them!" Zhang He decisively gave up the idea of ​​entertaining them, and she also wanted to do it according to her own likes and dislikes.

　Zhang He paid the tax without any burden, but the Xia family was still worried about the summer tax.

　The taxes had to be paid at the end of June, and the rice in the rice fields was also ripe at this time. Taking advantage of the good weather, the Xia family went out to harvest the rice as early as possible. In the past six months, the women of the Xia family have taken turns weaving, and they have enough silk cloth, so on harvest days, men, women, and children all have to go out.

　Xia Da originally wanted Xia Jiniang to stay at home to prepare for the wedding in early July, but when Xia Hui came over to make trouble, the Xia family almost fell into chaos.

　After matchmaker Chen went back that day and told Xia Hui the news that Xia Jiniang was going to marry Zhang He, Xia Hui came to the house to make trouble. Fortunately, matchmaker Chen also reported that Aunt Xia was interested in getting married to the Xia family. Xia Hui thought to herself: Although Xia Suniang is not as good as Xia Jiniang in appearance and posture, and she has never read a book, she is better at being diligent in her hands and feet.

　So she agreed to the marriage and asked Matchmaker Chen to finalize the post as soon as possible. However, when Matchmaker Chen arrived at Xia's house, San Xia and Aunt Xia refused to admit the matter. Although Matchmaker Chen was angry with them for their shamelessness, he had no choice but to leave without making a formal announcement.

　Xia Hui listened to Huang Yu crying and complaining that Fang Ying had refused to give birth until now. He had to take his so-called fiancée to sell her misery. She hoped that Fang Ying would understand his difficulties for the sake of his fiancée. But then matchmaker Chen told her that the Xia family had regretted it again. Xia Hui was so anxious that she ran to the Xia family to make trouble.

　Only then did Mr. Xia find out that Aunt Xia wanted to marry Xia Sumiang to Huang Yu behind his back. He was angry, but San Xia also said that they had not posted the post, but only verbal words, which could not count.

　Xia Hui persisted: "Why don't they count? Words also count!" "

　Even if words count, can't we regret it?"

　"Brother, since San'er proposed to get married, how can we not Regret?" Xia Hui said to Old Man Xia.

　"Why can't you go back on your word? Your grandson did such a thing and still wants to get married by cheating?" Xia San said.

　Xia Hui was nervous: "What's going on? What are you talking about?"

　Old Man Xia told what he knew. Xia Hui didn't expect that the Xia family would find out such a secret matter, but instead of retreating, she started crying: "Brother, you also know that my family's Lingzhi only has Brother Yu's bloodline. How can I let him get married? If he gets married, all the children will have to follow the Fang family's surname. My family's Lingzhi will be extinct. Brother, how can you bear it? ?"

　"He should bear the responsibility for the mistakes he made." Old Man Xia said.

　"Brother, are you trying to force Lingzhi to die? He is your nephew! If Brother Yu is captured by the government, how will Lingzhi live and how will I live?" "You should go find him if something like this happens

　. The Fang family, instead of just arranging a marriage for him can be avoided!"

　Xia Hui said: "It's just that the Fang family has bullied people too much. I have no choice but to propose marriage to brother Yu. I hope that the little lady of the Fang family will take it for granted. For mother's sake, please don't destroy Brother Yu and Su Niang's relationship as husband and wife. She may become soft-hearted and let go of the fetus, and she won't ask the government to pursue it again!" She promised many benefits to Xia San

　. When Aunt Xia heard this, she was a little moved. She thought that she was just a girl. She could get married without a dowry, and there was such a generous betrothal gift... But Xia Suniang was unwilling, and San Xia beat and scolded her

　. Yes, she was unwilling, and finally resisted by going on a hunger strike. Old Man Xia was so angry that he almost fell ill. He scolded Xia Sumiang for being unfilial and wanted to expel her from the house. Fortunately, Xia Luojin, who had returned from school on vacation, persuaded him, but he still grounded Xia Sumiang.

　Xia Jiniang didn't expect that Xia Suniang, who was always very cautious on weekdays, would suddenly be so strong. After chatting with Xia Sumiang for a long time, she learned that Xia Sumiang was actually not strong, but rather weak.

　Xia Sumiang knew that if she married into the Huang family without a dowry, her situation would be more like that of a maid, relying on charity from the Huang family for everything. And she couldn't do something as embarrassing as going to Fang's house to ask Fang Ying to help her and Huang Yu. She knew that once she did this, it was doubtful whether her engagement would be annulled, but it was certain that she would be laughed at for the rest of her life. of.

　She was afraid, so she would rather fight for it before the marriage was decided than face such pain.

　Xia Jiniang asked again: "If you didn't know about the Huang family, would you have married him?"

　Xia Sumiang was silent, but Xia Jiniang knew that the answer was inevitable.

　This happened when the Xia family was preparing a big event for Xia Jiniang and it spread in the village. However, at least Xia Suniang didn't do anything unthinkable, otherwise Xia Jiniang's marriage would have been put on hold.

　With Xia Luojin at home, Xia San did not mention Xia Sumiang's marriage to Huang Yu for the time being, so she was called out to work in the fields again.

　Xia Luojin can stay at home for a month during this vacation. This is a vacation for state schools, county schools, and major academies, so that these farmers can go home and help with the harvest. And Xia Luojin happened to catch up with Xia Jiniang's marriage.

　However, he was a little depressed about Xia Jiniang's marriage and asked Xia Da: "Why didn't dad tell me so that I could help Ji Niang see how Zhang Erlang was like?" Xia laughed and said, "Don't worry, Jin'er

　. Your mother and I have met each other a long time ago, and he is a very good young man."

　Xia Luojin saw that Xia Cui was full of praise for Zhang He, and Xia Jiniang did not show any dissatisfaction, so he let her go. Heart. However, he knew that some people thought that it was wrong for the Zhang family and the Xia family to be incompatible with each other. The Xia family had favored the Zhang family. He secretly decided to take the exam well next year. When he became famous, he would be able to support Xia Jiniang so that the Zhang family would not dare to bully her. !

　All fifteen members of the Xia family went to the fields, and within a few days they had harvested fifty acres of rice, and the next step was threshing. Old Xia had a bad waist and was already lying on the bed unable to move after harvesting, so he left the threshing to Xia Da and other strong men.

　One person holds a handful of straw in his hand and uses his strength to spread the straw onto the erected tripod wooden stand and stone slab on the spread out mat. Some people also use it to prevent the grains from splashing, and use it to spread the straw on the edge of the bucket. After doing this, the grains are spread out to dry in the sun when the sun is strong, and then the rice is pounded or used to shell the rice.

　At the end of the month, the Xia family finally paid all the summer taxes, miscellaneous money and other miscellaneous taxes. Xia Cui thought that if she hadn't bought a dowry for Xia Jiniang long ago, she would not have the money to pay for it after the summer taxes were paid. Money.

　On June 28, the makeup-inducing flowers and buns sent by the Zhang family also arrived at the Xia family. After a busy period, the Xia family finally realized that Xia Jiniang's marriage was approaching.

　Xia Jiniang was also in a daze. She took out the braid, robe, etc. and gave them to the matchmaker, asking her to help bring them back to Zhang He. She had made this bra and robe in her spare time since she agreed to Zhang He's proposal of marriage. Although she didn't know Zhang He's size, her body shape was similar to Xia Luojin's, so she pressed Xia Luojin's size accordingly. Sewing according to the size, slightly modified in some places.

　"I should have asked her about her size a long time ago." Xia Jiniang murmured to herself, suddenly remembering that she and Zhang He had not seen each other in nearly two months. She remembered that Zhang Xian said that Zhang He would have abdominal pain during menstruation every few months, and carefully counting the days, it was just these few days. No one would take care of her, and she didn't know what would happen if she had pain!

　Just as she was thinking about this, Xia Sumiang came in from outside.

　Since Xia Jiniang was getting ready to get married, Xia Suniang temporarily lived in the house of Xia Jiniang's second brother, Xia Luosi, who was not at home all year round, so she must have something to do with her when she came here. 　"Su-niang, what's wrong

　? 　" Xia Jiniang was about to marry Zhang He, but Kong Rong still came to look for her, which was tantamount to embarrassing her. But Kong Rong's pitiful appearance also made her unbearable, so she agreed. She just sent a message, and it was up to Xia Jiniang to decide whether to go or not. 　"What does he want to see me for?" Xia Jiniang asked. 　Xia Sumiang shook her head and said: "He only said he would wait for you at the Chenjia Bridge."









　Xia Jiniang smiled and said, "He knows I won't go. You have already brought it for him, so there is no need to pay attention to it. I won't be at Xia's house in two days. Let's talk." Xia Suniang sat in front of

　her Next, I looked at the gift boxes in the room, as well as the gold necklaces, gold pendants, and gold pendants. Growing up, she had only seen gold ornaments in the dowry of Xia Luojin's wife, Mrs. Xu. Later, Mrs. Xu also pawned it to support Xia Luojin's studies. This was the gold ornament she had seen the closest.

　"It's good for my sister to marry a man of her dreams." She said with envy.

　"Yeah." Xia Jiniang responded softly and said, "Actually, she didn't have to do this for me." She thought that Zhang He would just deal with it according to the standards of a middle-class family, but she never thought that if this matter would turn out to be Zhang He, The intervention of the family became grand.

　She didn't need Zhang He to go bankrupt for this matter, but she knew better that this just showed Zhang He's seriousness. She used everything to suppress the Xia family. Otherwise, how could she be in the Huang family without even a servant? Do what she promised under the pressure?

　"What did sister say? The more grand the wedding is, the more he values ​​his sister, right? Who else in Liujiaqiao Village dares to laugh at my sister because no one wants her!" Xia Sumiang said, feeling a little longing for Zhang He in her heart. Such a person can marry her, but she also knows that she does not have such luck.

　Xia Jiniang had a gentle smile on her face. She took out her sweat towel and wiped her sweat. Then she stood up and took out a delicate hairpin from her makeup box to Xia Suniang and said, "I don't need this hairpin. I'll give it to you as a gift." You."

　Xia Sumiang's eyes lit up, but she didn't reach out to ask for it: "Did the Zhang family send this? Why did my sister give it to me?" "I bought

　this last time I went to the city. You have always used wooden hairpins. , the hairpin is a bit old, so I specially bought a hairpin for you." "

　Thank you, sister." Xia Sumiang accepted the hairpin and inserted it into her bun happily. She looked at the bronze mirror again before asking Xia Ji Mom, "Does it look good, sister?"

　"Yeah, it looks good!"

　Xia Su Niang went out of the house. Seeing this, Aunt Xia asked her what she had taken. She pointed to the hairpin on her head carefully. Aunt Xia was so angry that she cursed: "It's really useless. I don't know how to ask her to get two suluo!"

　Luo Ke's silk fabrics were worth two guan each. Zhang He gave six pieces as a gift, not to mention miscellaneous silk cloth, which was a full thirty pieces.

　Xia Suniang didn't say anything. Aunt Xia could only secretly hate her for not being able to impress Zhang He at that time. She even hated Xia Jiniang for being so scheming. She not only robbed Zhang He, but also ruined her marriage with the Huang family!

　Xia Jiniang didn't know what Aunt Xia was thinking, and even if she knew, she would laugh it off. Most of the betrothal gifts given by Zhang He were hidden by Xia Cui. After all, she wanted to buy a dowry for Xia Jiniang, so she had to exchange these betrothal gifts for some clothing expenses.

　Although the Xia family members were greedy, Old Man Xia didn't ask for these betrothal gifts after Xia Da blamed himself last time. Xia Er and Xia San sought out Xia Da, but Xia Da just pretended to be stupid, which made them very angry. When Xia Da and his family went to Zhang He's house to lay out the dowry utensils, they were unwilling to help. In the end, Xia Da got angry and they followed. help.

　Zhang He's house has been hung with festive ribbons with the help of Aunt Li and other neighbors. The beds, mats, tables and chairs in the house have also been replaced with new ones. The cow sheds and chicken coops have been cleaned, including two cows. He was temporarily taken to Aunt Li's house for care, and most of the chickens and ducks in the chicken coop would be slaughtered for wedding banquets.

　Xia Er and Xia San were a little disappointed when they arrived at Qinghe Village. They thought it was held in Zhangjiazhuang Village or Fuzhou City, so they could establish relationships with the Zhang family.

　Zhang He was busy when Aunt Li came to tell her that someone from the Xia family was here. She quickly walked out of the door and saw Xia Da coming.

　"My father-in-law, why did you come in person?"

　Xia laughed and said, "I can't come in person yet?"

　"How could it be? Please come in quickly." Zhang He said.

　Xia Da walked in front, followed by Xia Er and Xia San, looking left and right. They felt that this mansion was not as grand as they imagined, and although the house had signs of repairs, it still looked old, but even so, it could not be compared to their Xia family.

　Xia Luojin was behind them, but he was a scholar. He bowed to Zhang He and announced his family name: "I am Ji Niang's eldest brother. My name is Luo Jin and my courtesy name is Liangxing."

　"Zhang He has met my brother-in-law, but I haven't picked up the name yet." Zhang He said hurriedly. This was the first time she had seen Xia Luojin. His body shape was similar to hers, and his face was also extremely clean. His frail appearance and his Confucian clothes made it obvious that he was a scholar who studied hard in the cold window.

　"Then I'll call you Erlang, and you can call me Liangxing." Xia Luojin said.

　"Brother Liangxing, please come in quickly!"

　Xia Luojin nodded and entered the room. He had been looking at Zhang He just now. Although she did not look like she could protect Xia Jiniang because of her thin appearance, her modest attitude and elegant behavior made it difficult for him to give birth to a child. Disgusting emotions.

　In addition to the four of them, Xia Luoguan also came, but Zhang He had already seen him, so he didn't pay much attention to him. After they laid out the dowry utensils, they were treated to wine, and then Xia Daji urged them to rush back to Xia's house.

　The author has something to say: Although it seems to be a transitional chapter, it is actually indispensable. After all, it is impossible to write down the events of the two months in one go.

　Getting married tomorrow (^o^)/~
