In Donggang, Yanlai, Qinghe and other towns, every household has hung up red lanterns, and there are happy words posted everywhere on the streets. Every family is killing chickens and fish, and preparing tables, chairs, and tables... Today
It is Mr. Xiao Lin's big day, and it is Mr. Xiao Jiang's big day, but the atmosphere is as if every family is having a happy event.
In the past, even if there was a very powerful person holding a happy event, and if they wanted to make it festive, even if every family sent wedding money, there would always be some who were unwilling to do it, and they had to deal with it.
If several neighbors really work together as one, and if everyone really gets married as if they were in their own family, then this family must be highly respected in the town and truly a good person respected by many people.
Nowadays, every household in the towns along the Xizi River is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, just for the Lin family. This happy event is unprecedented since the founding of Yunqin. Looking from the Xizi River, I can see that the towns along the bank are all in winter.
It is a bright red patch, as bright as the rays of sunshine, and it has been as red as the Xizi River for a long time.
Even in the wasteland and hillside that seemed lonely in winter, someone flew a series of long centipede kites. Each kite was painted red with the word "Da Xi" painted on it. It looked like the sky was covered with red flowers.
Red lanterns hang down one by one.
Some merchant ships and tourist boats passing by Donggang and Yanlai didn't know what happened. They were shocked at first. When they found out that it was Master Xiaolin who had been rumored by the people of Yunqin, he came back. It was a great joy, and many ships suddenly came back.
They are all docked at the port, and many businesses, tourists and wealthy businessmen are sincerely preparing to offer wedding gifts.
Wedding banquets in Donglin Province are usually held in the evening. On this day, it was only from early morning to just after noon. In the ports around Yanlai, Donggang, countless ships were already parked on the river. The people on the ships looked at the continuous town in bright red.
It was really shocking, and people in the town who were accustomed to seeing the shadow of long sails on the river were also very shocked when they saw the densely packed thousands of overlapping sails, which seemed to completely block the entire Xizi River.
…
Because both parties involved in the marriage are not ordinary people, and they are not getting married locally, two or three steps in the process of making an alliance, completing the appointment, applying for a term, and welcoming the bride are much simpler than normal. However, even so, Lin Xi started from early morning
We have been busy since then.
Washing, shaving, doing hair, etc. are just tasks that make your face look extraordinarily bright, which already consumes half a day.
Next there are layers of clothing and accessories.
The groom's red ceremonial robe actually has several layers of lining, and the lining of each layer of the robe is filled with different accessories. There are even dried fruits and other items with different meanings stuffed in the pockets.
Putting on these layers of uniforms, Lin Xi felt even heavier and stiffer than when she usually wore black armor in the army.
Then she saw that there were some tiaras, gold pieces, breast ornaments, high boots decorated with gold and silver and other objects beside her. Lin Xi couldn't help but grimace. She couldn't help but turn her head to look for help and looked at the busy ladies with them.
The mother, who was sweating slightly, said softly: "Mom, can you make it a little simpler?"
"Snapped!"
Lin Xi's grimace was rewarded with a chestnut knocked on his forehead by his mother.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still not satisfied with your frowning face?" The gentle woman scolded her son softly: "Yanan didn't find it troublesome, but you still find it troublesome? This great joy is a big event in itself, and you can only do it in your life.
For once, how can you be simple? You don’t think you’ve slighted me, but I feel sorry for you.”
Lin Xi quickly covered her forehead and begged for mercy: "It was my fault...Come and come, they all come to me."
The group of happy women all laughed, and the gentle woman glared at Lin Xi again, "They are already married and established, but they are not serious yet."
Lin Xi laughed, but saw something sparkling in the corner of his mother's eyes. He immediately grabbed his mother's hand, hugged her gently, and said in her ear: "Why, I can't bear to leave."
Your son?"
The gentle woman smiled and said, "I just didn't expect you to grow up so fast and you are already going to start a family."
…
There were always some curious children gathering around the bride's room, causing bursts of yelling and scolding from time to time.
On such a big day, the bride naturally has to prepare much more than the groom. The person who entered the Lin family's house was already the best matchmaker along the Xizi River. On weekdays, even those ordinary-looking women passed by.
Their skillful hands can also cover up many flaws, making them look much brighter suddenly.
However, because the looks of the two brides today were so exquisite, it was a bit difficult for these skilled women to do it. They had to draw their eyebrows several times, which took more time and made them even busier.
Outside the Lin family's residence, there was another scene.
Square tables were placed along the streets, filling the entire Yanlai Town. Many skillful cooks were busy, and the kitchens of many people's homes were filled with aroma and white mist. Some people in the town were like conductors.
He was commanded as if he were marching and fighting.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and many people stepped out of the way and shouted: "The birthday boy is here."
An old man with hair like snow and a snow-white beard hanging down to his chest, with the help of several neighbors, got out of the carriage tremblingly and came to congratulate him carrying a gift tied with red cloth.
It turns out that this old man is the oldest man along the Xizi River. He is more than 130 years old. For a non-practitioner, this is already amazing. People in Yunqin believe in ghosts and gods. They think that people who live longer must have done more good deeds.
, and the Yunqin people themselves respect the elderly very much, so they also have great respect for this old birthday star.
Only a person like Mr. Xiao Lin could make this old birthday boy come from Qinghe Town to congratulate him.
And suddenly, a burst of gongs and drums came from the river.
"He is from King Zhang Long!"
Everyone looked up and saw that hundreds of fishing boats on the river were covered with wooden planks and connected together. Many men above were beating gongs and drums, performing lion and dragon dances, congratulating Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi.
Not long after the sound of gongs and drums started, there was another loud sound of gongs and drums in the town. Countless people were walking from the direction of Donggang Town. From a distance, the dozens of people in front looked like they were carrying sedans. As they got closer,
But the aroma of meat overflowed, and it looked like a big pig that had been braised and steamed.
"This is Chencun crispy pork! It is marinated with the whole pig, then braised and steamed in a large stove!"
Someone shouted.
Hearing this sound, many people realized that it was people from Chenjia Village where old man Chen Yangzhi lived.
The people from Chenjia Village have arrived.
Old Mo from the Linjiang Building where Lin Xi lived in Donggang Town also arrived.
Jiang Wenhe, the governor of Donggang Town, has arrived.
The people who had been arrested by the criminal prosecutor earlier also arrived.
People from the fish market also arrived.
…
Congratulatory gifts are usually sent to the Lin family one after another.
Lin Xi's father, who was welcoming the guests, couldn't help but feel sad on this happy day.
Although the Lin family was determined not to accept anything that was too expensive, they could not avoid some auspicious gifts from neighbors. What couldn't be tolerated was the large number of people. The two side rooms were so full that they had to be piled in the yard.
All the neighbors are happy.
Except for the little girl whose mother cooks delicious fish.
Her mother-in-law was helping cook the fish under the command of Zheng Zheng in the town, and she had no time to supervise her. She stood outside the courtyard of the Lin family, looking with wide eyes, hoping to see the beautiful sister she saw two days ago.
However, after waiting for most of the day, until the banquet table was set up, the red candles were lit in the Lin family's house, the ritual music had begun to be played, everything was ready, the newlyweds were about to come out to complete the ceremony, and the wedding banquet was about to begin, she did not wait until
The beautiful sister she likes.
So the little girl became obsessed and felt extremely wronged. Tears filled her eyes. She thought to herself that such a beautiful sister could lie and deceive. How could she say what she had promised to come today?
Not coming again?
Because she felt that it was rude to cry during a happy occasion, the little girl secretly hid in a corner where no one was paying attention. She stayed there for just a moment, and before she stopped sobbing, she heard waves of cheers and toasts.
The sound rang out, and knowing that the newlyweds had begun to salute, the little girl couldn't restrain her curiosity, wiped her tears, rushed to the door, pushed aside a few little kids smaller than her, and squeezed in.
Just looking inside, her eyes suddenly widened.
She saw the two groomsmen, one of whom was standing next to the beautiful sister that day, and then she saw that the bride next to him looked very familiar, so she reacted and shouted.
No one noticed the scream of such a little girl.
The red hijabs of the two brides had not yet been lifted, but the little girl clearly saw the bride's hand quietly waving towards her behind her back.
The little girl let out a scream of happiness, and then jumped up happily on the ground.
Worship to heaven and earth, worship in the high hall, and the newlyweds worship each other.
After the ceremony was completed, Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi raised their glasses to thank the guests.
"Dry!"
For a time, a toast sounded throughout the countless streets in Yanlai Town, completely driving away the chill.
Lin Xi's mouth moved slightly, and a smile appeared. She thought that this sound had a rich meaning. She also thought that her thoughts seemed not pure, and at the same time she became slightly nervous.
At night, people along the Xizijiang River, who had not been drunk in countless years, were drunk in the streets and alleys of Yanlai Town. The entire Xizijiang River was filled with the sweet smell of drunkenness.
The two newlyweds, after a busy and tiring day, finally entered the bridal chamber.
The overjoyed Yanlai Town finally slowly became quiet.
In the room where only she and Gao Yanan were finally left, Lin Xi rubbed her hands and held Gao Yanan's slender hands exposed outside the wide sleeves of her wedding dress.
He inexplicably turned from nervousness to excitement, and then couldn't help but sing: "Today... I finally get what I hoped for."
