Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

The wedding banquet was scheduled for the 18th day of the first lunar month. The wedding reception was also omitted, as Xu Huizhen did not have much enthusiasm to go through the formalities.

The evening before, He Yuzhu brought a bag of wedding candy and went to Nanluoguxiang with Xu Huizhen. He Yuzhu wanted to ask the third uncle Yan Bugui to take care of the wedding banquet in Heyuan. Although the third uncle was a bit stingy and greedy, he was a cultured man after all, and he still had some dignity and bottom line. He would never use the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, and the second uncle was a idiot, and he was not as good as the third uncle in doing things.

He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen first came to the third uncle's house. As soon as they entered the door, He Yuzhu introduced: "Third uncle, this is my wife Xu Huizhen. You met her last time at my house."

Xu Huizhen quickly gave him a smile: "Hello, Third Uncle, I hope you will take care of me in this courtyard from now on."

The third uncle's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled behind his glasses: "You guys did a great job keeping this secret! Congratulations."

After the greetings, He Yuzhu handed half a pound of candy to the third aunt and two packs of Daqianmen to the third uncle, saying, "Third uncle, I'm getting married now, right? I'm going to invite everyone in the yard to get together tomorrow, and I'd like you to come forward and take care of it. This is a little gift from me."

When the third uncle saw that there was a gift to be received, he said with a smile: "No problem, just leave it to me."

After leaving the third uncle's house, the two of them distributed wedding candies to every household and informed everyone to go to his house for a drink at noon tomorrow, one person per family. Xu Huizhen also took this opportunity to get to know everyone in the yard.

When it comes to He Yuzhu hiring only one person for his family, some people say, "Zhuzi, you just got a promotion and salary increase before the New Year, and you're getting married after the New Year. It's a double happiness, you should celebrate it well, how can you only hire one person for your family?"

Everyone knew that He Yuzhu had been living comfortably recently and wanted to take this opportunity to improve his life, so they all agreed.

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "I want to, but now you need a ticket to buy everything. Where can I buy so many ingredients?"

Everyone agreed: "Yeah, you, the deputy director of the cafeteria, can't you get the ingredients?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "My wife has to treat us as well. It's good enough to have these few tables of ingredients."

Yi Zhonghai was very surprised to hear that He Yuzhu was going to get married. He was secretly waiting for He Yuzhu to go on a blind date so that he could trip him up and let him know who was the king in the courtyard. But he got married quietly.

Yi Zhonghai said in a bad tone: "Zhu Zi, how can you be so careless about such a big thing as marriage? You should at least ask the elders in the courtyard to give you some advice, right?"

He Yuzhu smiled instead of getting angry: "My father is still alive, and I still have my second uncle to worry about me, so I don't need you gentlemen."

Yi Zhonghai: "How can you talk like that? Your father is far away, and I mean well. How can we, as elders, harm you? What's your attitude?"

He Yuzhu: "I don't know if others can harm me, but I can't say for you, Uncle. Also, Uncle, you love being an elder so much, let Auntie give birth to a child for you, you should worry about your own child. Don't always go to other people's homes to offend the elders."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face, and don't expose someone's shortcomings. He Yuzhu's words were really poisonous. Who asked this old man to always ruin his good deeds? It's such a happy event for others to get married, and you don't wish them well, but you also come out to find faults. Then your grandfather Zhu will not tolerate you.

Yi Zhonghai's lack of children was his weak point. When a junior exposed his shortcomings in public, he became furious. He pointed his finger at He Yuzhu and said, "You, you, He Yuzhu, stop teaching me!"

After entering the courtyard, Xu Huizhen had been smiling and didn't say much. At this time, she said slowly: "Uncle, respect is mutual. Zhuzi's words are a bit too much, but you were unreasonable first. Which law stipulates that we need your consent to get married? You are just the uncle in charge of the courtyard, responsible for mediating economic disputes and conveying the policies of the superiors. You have no right to interfere in marriage, right?"

Seeing her husband being embarrassed, the aunt quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Don't get me wrong, Lao Yi didn't mean that. He just had good intentions and wanted to help Zhuzi with things."

He Yuzhu: "It's not necessary!" He turned and walked to the backyard. When the deaf old lady heard that He Yuzhu got married, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Xu Huizhen, saying: "My eldest grandson is getting married. I am very happy. This bracelet is given to Zhuzi and his wife. It is a little gift from me. I wish you a son soon."

As the saying goes, "One who eats someone's food should be grateful, and one who takes someone's money should be grateful." Xu Hui really didn't want to have too much contact with the old lady, so she declined and said, "Old lady, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

This was also what He Yuzhu meant. Although the old lady later left the house to him, since he knew that she was involved in He Daqing's leaving home, He Yuzhu didn't want to have too much friendship with the old lady.

He asked the old lady to come over to the wedding banquet tomorrow at noon, and then took Xu Huizhen away, leaving the old lady alone and extremely disappointed.

Xu Damao and He Yuzhu have now reconciled their past grudges, and seeing that He Yuzhu has been doing very well recently, he said with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi, congratulations. I wish you a happy marriage. I happen to have an old hen and some dried mushrooms here, so I can give you an extra dish for lunch tomorrow." Then he went into the house to get the mushrooms.

This is the first time Xu Huizhen has seen the villain Xu Damao, who is tall and thin. But he is good at talking and quite likable. No wonder he can handle the young girls and wives with ease in the original plot. It really fits the saying: A good man is good at talking, and a good horse is good at legs. You can't help but admit it.

However, thinking of his future wife Lou Xiao'e, he felt sorry for her. At this time, the system's voice was heard: "Ding Dong, Ding Dong. The system has issued a new task. Stop Lou Xiao'e from marrying Xu Damao. Change Lou Xiao'e's fate. The system will reward a number of tickets of various types."

Hey, it’s really nice to have this benefit when coming to Siheyuan.

But this system is really bad, it even interferes with other people's marriages. Don't they know that it is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy one marriage? Besides, Xu Damao is younger than He Yuzhu, and he is not yet of the legal age for marriage. It is estimated that he will have to wait for a year or so to get married. Don't be in a hurry, right?

Xu Damao handed a bunch of dried mushrooms to Xu Huizhen and said with a playful smile: "Sister-in-law is so beautiful!" He Yuzhu said unhappily: "Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense, go over to help tomorrow at noon."

Xu Damao: "Don't worry, brother. You don't have to tell me anything. Just wait and see." Xu Huizhen muttered to herself, "Xu Damao didn't get angry with He Yuzhu like in the original plot. They still look like good brothers. I guess He Yuzhu changed the plot."

After walking around the yard, Xu Huizhen returned home. She looked around the house. The house was just renovated by He Yuzhu some time ago and was better than Xu Huizhen's house.
