Chapter 37 Getting married

"Come in, they're in the west room."

　　Jiang Zhu closed the door and led the two of them into the house.

　　As soon as Zhao Le lifted the door curtain of the west room, he saw Ye Anyian in a wedding dress and was stunned.

　　Shitou stood next to him, his eyes widened as well.

　　"Nian, Brother Nian, you..." Zhao Le couldn't speak clearly, "You're so pretty!"

　　He reached out to touch Ye Anyian's wedding dress, but when he caught a glimpse of the rice-sized pearls on the cuffs, he retracted his hand.

　　"This wedding dress must not be cheap." He swallowed, turned to see that Jiang Zhu was not outside, leaned closer to Ye Annian and whispered, "Mr. Jiang is really willing to spend money on you, this style of stringing millet pearls , I heard it's the latest model in town."

　　"He sold some medicinal materials and spent them randomly." Ye Annian said, but there was no hint of complaint in his words.

　　He didn't know how much Jiang Zhu paid for these two sets of wedding clothes, but from what Zhao Le said, they must not be cheap.

　　But since Jiang Zhu has bought it, he will definitely put it away after today and keep it as a souvenir.

　　"Mr. Jiang treats you so well." Zhao Le couldn't help but admire.

　　"By the way," he suddenly remembered something, took Ye Anyian's hand, and said with excitement, "the old Ye family is very lively today."

　　"Huh?" Ye Anyian didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, "What kind of excitement can there be in the old Ye family?"

　　"Your cheap dad didn't promise that I would come to marry you today, but he went to town yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

　　"Then this morning, everyone in Lao Ye's family started to have diarrhea for some reason. When I was passing by with the stones, I heard a rumble in the hut, and your aunt was standing outside, shouting at the top of her lungs. I can't hold it in anymore."

　　Zhao Le couldn't help but laugh as he said: "I guess not even one of the old Ye family can come today."

　　"Then this is not a good thing." Ye Anyian said.

　　For some reason, he always felt that this matter had something to do with Jiang Zhu.

　　While the two were talking here, Shitou started playing with Fu Zai and Ding Qiu.

　　Copper Coin was a little shy at first, but it didn't take long for him to play with the three children.

　　"The top made by Brother Ye is really good," Shitou said. "When you whip it up with a whip, it spins fast and loudly. It's much stronger than the one I had before, and it's also pretty."

　　"Of course my brother is the most powerful!" Upon hearing this, Fu Zai immediately praised Ye Anyian.

Recalling Ye Anyian's previous talk about making wood carvings of the twelve zodiac animals, he asked Shitou again: "Brother Shitou, what do you belong to?"

　　"I'm a dog." Shitou said, "What's wrong?"

　　"Brother wants to engrave our zodiac signs. I am a rabbit, and brother Qiu is a horse." Fu Zai blinked his eyes like water grapes, "I will ask my brother to engrave a puppy for you later."

　　Seeing how cute he looked, Shi Shi reached out and pinched his little face: "Okay. Then let the puppy carry the little rabbit and run away."

　　"The puppy is running with the rabbit on its back!" Fu Zai clapped his little hands with laughter, making Ding Qiu also laugh.

　　Although Tongqian didn't understand what they were talking about, he could understand their emotions and started barking "woof".

　　Three children and a dog were playing happily in the house, and helpers and villagers who came to express their congratulations came one after another outside.

　　Zhao Lizheng arrived early, and with him were his wife Qian Chunfang and second daughter Zhao Nan.

　　The eldest son's family opened a blacksmith shop in the town, so they went to the town with their daughter-in-law to look at the shop, leaving only the only son's stone with Zhao Le, his younger uncle.

　　As the sun rises higher and higher, more and more people come to celebrate the wedding. The wedding hall has been set up in the courtyard. Since the parents and elders of Jiang Zhu and Ye Annian are not here, Zhao Lizheng will be the officiant. , Aunt Li volunteered to be Xi Po, which saved a lot of trouble.

　　When the time was almost up, Aunt Li said loudly: "The auspicious time has come to welcome the new couple!"

　　Jiang Zhu was already waiting in the courtyard. Ye Annian was dressed in a wedding dress and covered with a red hijab. He was led out of the west room by Shi Shi and Chen Huaishu. The two stood side by side. Anyone could praise him for his talent and appearance. Cannot be matched again.

　　The courtyard was already full of people, all villagers from Yueya Village who came to congratulate him.

　　I don't know who lit the two strings of firecrackers hanging outside the courtyard gate, and the crackling sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

　　The atmosphere suddenly became lively, with the sound of firecrackers accompanied by Aunt Li's joyful shouting: "First worship the heaven and earth, second worship the high hall!"

　　Ye Annian stood there, feeling wrapped in the lively and festive atmosphere. His heart was beating hard. He didn't know whether he was nervous or at a loss.

　　Jiang Zhu's hand was suddenly held quietly, and he was led to worship Heaven and Earth together, and then worship Zhao Lizheng.

　　At this time, everyone started cheering. Ye Anyian took a deep breath and felt Jiang Zhu gently scratching his palm with his fingers.

　　It seemed to be comforting and amusing, dispelling his nervousness and uneasiness.

　　Among the crowd watching the ceremony, Fu Zai was held by Zhao Le because of inconvenience on his feet. His eyes like watery grapes stared closely at Ye Anian, who was wearing wedding clothes.

　　That's his brother! Such a good-looking person is his brother!

　　Fu Zai felt very happy. If it hadn't been for the fact that his feet were not yet healed, he and Brother Shitou would have been able to be the wedding ceremony for his brother and Dr. Jiang.

　　"Uh-huh, wow!"

　　"Piao Piao, Guo Guo!"

　　Fu Zai was staring at his brother in trance when he unexpectedly heard a soft and tender sound in his ears.

　　He lay on Zhao Le's shoulder and turned around, just in time to see Chen Lingling being held in Yang Chi's arms.

　　The little girl is wearing a crimson flowered jacket. The little tuozu on her hair are round and bulging, like flower buds. Her face is also round, white and tender, and very cute.

　　Fu Zai was a little stunned when he saw such a beautiful little girl.

　　However, before he could speak, Lingling had already waved her little hands and shouted: "Wow! Piao Piao, Xiao Guo Guo!"

　　Lingling was only three years old, and she still couldn't pronounce some words clearly, but Fuzai, who was also a child, understood her.

　　He poked her soft little face and said, "Piao Piao, you are also Piao Piao."

　　Lingling chuckled.

　　On the other side, Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu completed the worship ceremony under the auspices of Aunt Li and Zhao Lizheng. Amid Aunt Li's shout of "Sent into the bridal chamber", Jiang Zhu led Ye Anyian back to the east room.

　　At this time, Ye Anyian's face was already red, and he was feeling hot from the tips of his ears to his neck. Fortunately, he was covered with a hijab so that no one would look at him.

　　In fact, the two of them had discussed whether to wear a hijab the night before. Jiang Zhu followed Ye Anyian's wishes in everything. He originally thought that Ye Anyian would be unwilling, but he didn't want the other party to take the initiative to wear it.

　　Jiang Zhu led Ye Annian to sit down on the kang, and touched the hijab with his fingertips: "If it's uncomfortable to wear, can I help you take it off now?"

　　"Isn't this bad?" Ye Anyian grabbed his sleeve.

　　"It doesn't matter, there are so many gifts." Jiang Zhu said, he brought a plate from the corner cabinet and put it in Ye Anian's hand.

　　"I've put the snacks here. If you're hungry, just make a cushion first. I don't know how long it will be until I go out to deal with those customers."

　　Ye Anyian glanced at the various snacks on the plate from the corner of his eye and said "hmm".

　　Jiang Zhu raised his hand and squeezed his shoulder: "Then I'll go out first. If you get tired, you can take off the hijab yourself. If you have anything to do, call Shitou or Brother Le, and I'll ask them to come to you more often." "

　　"I know, go quickly." Ye Anyian urged.

　　Jiang Zhu then left.

　　The room became quiet for a moment. Ye Anyian sat upright for a moment before raising his hand to take off the hijab and covering his face. His cheeks were still warm.

　　He didn't let Jiang Zhu take off his hijab just now because he was afraid of being seen like this.

　　Fortunately, in ancient times, people were required to wear hijab when getting married, otherwise he wouldn't know how to face so many people coming to congratulate him.

　　He remembered that he had never been so thin-skinned before. He didn't know what happened recently, and he blushed at every turn.

　　I don't know when the banquet started outside, and the villagers who came to congratulate each other took their seats one after another. The master chef invited to the banquet had already started cooking vegetables and stewing soup. The aroma of meat suddenly filled the entire yard.

　　A total of five tables were set up for the banquet, and each table was packed with about ten people.

　　Zhao Lizheng sat around with some male elders in the village. The men sat at two large tables in total, and the remaining three tables were filled with women, brothers and children.

Jiang Zhu brought out several jars of good wine and served them to the two drinking tables respectively. He also poured the wine for Zhao Lizheng himself, and everyone started drinking and talking happily together.

　　The door to the east room was closed tightly, cutting off the noise outside. Ye Anyian stood up and moved his hands and feet.

　　In fact, he should be the most leisurely person today. He doesn't have to ride a sedan chair, deal with guests, move from the west room to the east room, and just get up earlier than usual.

　　He sat alone for a while, bored, and felt a little hungry, so he ate a few snacks.

　　The door of the house was suddenly knocked twice from outside.

　　"Who?" he asked.

　　No one answered outside.

　　There were two more "bang bang" sounds, the door was pushed open a crack, and a black, furry little head poked in from the outside.

　　The copper coins tied with a red ribbon around his neck ran in from the outside and rubbed against Ye Anyian's feet.

　　"Copper coins?" Ye Anyian was a little surprised.

　　He knelt down and touched Copper Coin's head, and then a small figure slipped in with short legs.

　　"Liao Lin Guo Guo, eat, eat elbow."

　　When Ye Anyian looked up, he saw Xiao Lingling walking towards him with a big elbow in her hand and a greasy mouth.

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　He quickly reached out to take it, and the little girl hugged him with a smile, and kept pushing her elbow into Ye Anyian's hand.

　　"Eat, eat, it's delicious!"

　　The child had good intentions, and Ye Anyian could not let him down.

　　"Okay, brother, eat."

　　Taking the big elbow from Lingling's hand, Ye Anyian picked up Lingling and placed her on the kang to sit.

　　He wiped Lingling's oily mouth and hands with a handkerchief, and then shared the snacks on the plate with the little girl.

　　So, a big cat and a kitten were in the house, one was nibbling on elbows and the other was eating snacks. It was very comfortable.

　　In the yard, Fuzai, Dingqiu, Shitou and Chen Huaishu sat together. Shitou took care of Fuzai, and Chen Huaishu picked up vegetables for Dingqiu from time to time. The four children were very harmonious.

　　However, after a while, Chen Huaishu discovered that his little naughty sister was missing.

　　You didn't mean to send meat to Brother Ye, why haven't you come back after so long?

　　He was a little worried, so he stood up and planned to look for it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left his seat, he caught a glimpse of a thick figure flashing past the fence.

　　The figure was sneaky, wandering outside but not coming in.

　　Chen Huaishu became suspicious and sneaked to the door, found a hidden position and looked outside.

At this sight, the child was so frightened that his soul almost flew away.

　　That fierce-looking man seems to be carrying an ax on his shoulder?

　　This, what is this going to do?
