Chapter 222 Zhou Gui Gets Married
During the banquet, the Zhou brothers kept drinking with Shen Bohang and his wedding party.
Shen Bohang then realized that the Zhou family not only knew how to fight, but also how to drink. If he hadn't secretly given them red envelopes and bribed their uncles and cousins, they would have drunk themselves to death today...
After the banquet, Zhou Jiahua took his brothers to sort out the dowry so that it could be picked up later.
There is a custom of crying at weddings in Zhoujiawan. Zhou's mother held Zhou Gui's hand, wiped her tears and said words of reluctance.
Zhou's father is such a strong man, but he also cried today. He said that when Zhou Gui was a child, she always pestered him to ride a big horse. The girl he carried on his shoulders back then has grown up and is about to get married, but he can't bear to let her go.
The people present were infected by the atmosphere and were quietly wiping away tears.
Zhou Rong's tears fell uncontrollably.
Zhou Gui cried bitterly and regretted getting married...
When the matchmaker saw that everyone in the room was crying, even the bride's makeup was ruined by her tears, she quickly winked at the people who were coming to pick up the bride, signaling them to set off firecrackers to urge them to get ready and set off.
When Zhou's mother heard the sound of firecrackers, she wiped away her tears and said, "Let's go and live a good life. If anything happens, come back to us immediately."
Zhou Gui and Shen Bohang kowtowed three times to Zhou's father and mother, choking up and saying, "My daughter will come back to see you in a few days."
With tears in his eyes, Zhou's father said, "Okay, Dad will wait for you at home."
In Zhoujiawan, the daughter's parents, if they have the means, will prepare food for the guests, such as rice bubbles, peanuts, candies, etc.
Zhou's mother was worried that some relatives from the Shen family would ask Zhou Gui for bride tea. In order to prevent Zhou Gui from being laughed at, she bought several kilograms of glutinous rice in advance, steamed it and dried it, then fried some rice bubbles to make tea for the guests. She also bought some peanuts, fried dough twists, candies, etc.
(Fried rice soaked in water, a childhood delicacy, add some white or brown sugar and soak it, it is very fragrant)
Zhou's mother bought four large wooden boxes for Zhou Gui, two for food and two for clothes.
Zhou Jiaguang, Dawa and others all knew about it when Zhou's mother prepared food for Zhou Gui.
Several people thought that their task today was to carry the food. After all, they were still children and it would not be appropriate for them to carry anything too heavy.
If you get hungry on the road, you can also try it secretly...
Mother Zhou knew her children's personalities too well, so she said, "The food has been locked in the box and cannot be taken out. You have other tasks to do. Do you see the bundles over there? They contain bed sheets and quilt covers. Each of you should carry one.
Be careful on the road, don't drop it on the ground, or it will get dirty, or the red envelope will be gone."
Zhou Jiaguang, Da Wa, Er Wa: "......"
Amid the sound of firecrackers, Zhou Qinghong, carrying a cloth tent and bamboo, led the way with a heroic and high-spirited manner, and walked towards the Shen family with the wedding procession.
Many people came to Chang'an to watch Zhou Gui's wedding today, and everyone envied her.
One is that he envied her for having a large dowry and being valued by her family.
The second is the people who choose the dowry. They are all brothers and nephews, which makes people feel safe.
Zhou Rong, Zhou Cai, Zhou Xiang and Zhou Tian, as Zhou Gui's sisters, were also part of the wedding party.
The wedding procession was very spectacular, attracting many people's attention along the way. Some of the brave ones would step forward and say a few words of congratulations. The matchmaker or the people who came to pick up the bride would give out candies and cigarettes.
When they arrived at Xiangheli, Zhou Jiahua and other people who were picking up the dowry, led by two wedding reception staff, went to Shen's house first to place the dowry and make the bed.
The matchmaker took the two newlyweds and Zhou Rong and the others to wait outside Xianghe. When the Shen family was settled and the firecrackers were set off, they went over...
Qin Yanhua has been in a state of excitement and nervousness these two days. She is happy that her youngest son is getting married, but she is also worried that some link will not be done well, which will make Zhou Gui angry or be laughed at by relatives and friends.
As soon as the dowry came in, Qin Yanhua hurriedly asked Shen Bohang's aunt Tang Zizhen to help make the bed so that the bride wouldn't have to wait outside for too long.
Tang Zizhen said auspicious words while making the bed: Make the bed, make the bed, joy, family harmony, happiness and auspiciousness, the first bed is mandarin ducks playing in the water, the second bed is auspicious dragons and phoenixes, the third bed is fish and water in harmony, the fourth bed is long-lasting love, the fifth bed is early birth of a son, the sixth bed is a house full of children and grandchildren, the seventh bed is a happy marriage for a hundred years, the eighth bed is a long-lasting love, the ninth bed is a happy family, the tenth bed is a bright future...
After Tang Zizhen made the bed and sprinkled some red dates, peanuts and longans on it, Qin Yanhua hurriedly told her nephew to set off firecrackers to welcome the newlyweds.
Qin Yanhua looked at herself in the mirror again and again, confirming that there was nothing wrong with her appearance, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Bohang's brother and sister-in-law had to go on a mission and couldn't come back; his sister Shen Boxuan rushed back from Kyoto to attend the wedding. Seeing her mother's look, she joked: "This is not the first time you marry a daughter-in-law, is it necessary to be like this?"
Qin Yanhua: "When your brother got married, he wrote us a letter saying that he was getting married. His wedding with your sister-in-law was also held in the army. Your father and I did not participate in the whole process.
Now that Bohang is getting married, I am handling all the procedures for the first time. How can I not be nervous?"
Shen Boxuan said with a smile: "Don't look in the mirror. You haven't given the red envelope to the Zhou family's dowry bearer yet? Hurry up and give it to them, or else people will gossip about you."
Qin Yanhua slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. I forgot such an important thing. Fortunately, you reminded me.
Your dad is such a jerk. He only knows how to chat with his colleagues about professional matters and calculate data. He never lends a hand. I have to take care of everything by myself. My brain is totally not enough."
Qin Yanhua took out the red envelopes she had prepared in advance and gave them to Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiafeng and others one by one. Each red envelope contained 8 yuan.
Zhou Qinghong was the youngest person carrying the tent bamboo, so Qin Yanhua gave him a red envelope of 20 yuan.
Zhou Jiaguang, Da Wa and Er Wa were extremely envious.
Zhou Jiaguang gave a look to the eldest and second child, and they understood immediately.
The three men pulled Zhou Qinghong to a corner.
Zhou Jiaguang whispered, "We have said before that we should share the good fortune. Now that you have received such a big red envelope, you should share it with us equally. We don't want more. Just give us 3 yuan each, and we will continue to protect you in the future."
Big Boy: "Without us, you wouldn't have the chance to carry the tent bamboo. We are all brothers, you can't be disloyal."
Erwa: "It's easy to lose this much money if you keep it with you. If you share it with us, it can reduce your risk. We will also remember a favor from you. It's a good deal."
Zhou Qinghong unbuttoned his clothes, pointed at a few pockets, and said with a smile: "My mother sewed pockets on the inside of each of my clothes. I put the red envelopes here and they will never fall out.
You want to share the bonus, it's not impossible, but I have a condition, from now on, you have to help me do the work under my name, and you have to help me bathe, wash my feet, serve me tea, massage my shoulders and back, so that I can also enjoy the treatment you enjoy here."
Zhou Jiaguang snorted and said, "You want to be a nobleman and let us serve you? Only the younger generation should respect the elders, how can the elders serve the younger generation? If people knew about this, would we still be able to survive?!"
The eldest child said, "We won't bow down to money. If you don't want to share the red envelope, then forget it. In the future, you will have to do double the housework!"
Erwa: "You took all my textbooks and folded them. I will tell grandma and your parents when I get home and see how they punish you."
Zhou Qinghong: “!!!…”
