Du Qingchen looked at Tao Xiude with a smile. Tao Xiude was shocked by the poverty of the people. Although his family was also poor, his father was already an official when he was born. He had never experienced such hardships.
Tao Xiude nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "It seems that I was wrong."
He may indeed be wrong. Firstly, he misunderstood the lives of the common people. Second, he overestimated Du Qingchen. If Du Qingchen really has such a great ability, if he can get the jade pendant, he can find someone to put it in his house. Why can't even afford a table, chairs and benches.
After all, Du Qingchen is just an ordinary commoner. Even if he is a little clever, he is not worthy of high regard. It is because he thinks too much.
"What's wrong with your master?" Du Qingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled.
But just in case, since Tao Xiude is here, it is impossible to leave like this, Tao Xiude smiled, "Misunderstood the life of the people in the world!"
Du Qingchen chuckled, "My son is from a wealthy family, so it's only right that he hasn't been in touch with ordinary people's lives. It's nothing wrong."
Tao Xiude nodded, skipped over this, and said, "Boss Du, I'm here this time to give you congratulations, and secondly, I want to ask you a little question."
"Please sir."
"I don't understand why Boss Du put the jade pendant in my room?" Tao Xiude said suddenly.
"What jade pendant? Where did I get the jade pendant?" Du Qingchen knew Tao Xiude's purpose as early as when he came to the door, and he was well prepared. Even if Tao Xiude lied to him, he would not be fooled.
"The identity jade pendant with Meng character written on it! Didn't you give it to me? Stop pretending!"
"I...have never seen a jade pendant like this? The only time I have a jade pendant in my life is last time. When my husband celebrated his birthday, I bought it for him for a tael of silver. Let's count it as a token of love!" Du Qingchen said He couldn't help but smile shyly, and lowered his head.
Tao Xiude: ...
"Uh, Boss Du really doesn't know?"
"I really don't know, why would you think I gave it to you?"
Tao Xiude rubbed his nose, "It's not because, apart from Uncle Liu and the others, I only know you here! Thinking about it, who else could it be? It can only be you!" Tao Xiude smiled.
Du Qingchen lowered his eyes, "Young master, I don't even know where you live! What are you talking about putting it in your house? Besides, I'm busy these days. Look, I'm going to get married soon, and I can't separate myself. I don't have time to find you!"
"Well, there are no friends or anything like that? Can you help me?"
"Young master, you are joking. People in my village who have a good relationship with my family and have relatives are here to help now. Those who are farther away, such as Qiu Tieniu and the others, are also familiar with the Su family. They help in the Su family! Getting married For major events, relatives and friends must follow along!"
There seems to be some truth in what he said, and these people are just ordinary people, and they can't open the window into his house in broad daylight and put a jade pendant there.
Tao Xiude took out a piece of paper and said to Du Qingchen, "Write a few words for me, just use a burnt stick to scratch it."
"This..." Du Qingchen hesitated.
"What? Is there a problem?" Tao Xiude's eyes lit up.
"My lord, why did you do such a thing?" Du Qingchen asked tentatively.
"Uh... just for fun, recently I learned a skill, I can tell what will happen to this person from the words, it's like fortune-telling, so, try it! You don't want to know when you're getting married Is it suitable for you and your future husband? Can you live well?"
Du Qingchen chuckled, "I don't believe in this, I only believe in myself, and I also believe in my husband, we will live well. Even if there are some conflicts, I will let him go."
"Uh, just take a random test, don't worry, just write it and try it!" Tao Xiude smiled, but his attitude was firm.
Du Qingchen had no choice but to say, "Let's do it!"
Du Qingchen went out and brought back a burnt wooden stick. He sat on a chair and wrote the word Du Qingchen on a piece of paper. Then he put down the stick, and Tao Xiude hurried over to look at it.
"Er... why did you write your own name?" How would he compare strokes?
"Shouldn't I write my own name? I'm sorry, when I used to practice calligraphy, I always started with my own name, so I got used to it as soon as I started." Du Qingchen said embarrassedly.
"Oh, that's it! Let me say a few words and you write them, okay?"
"Okay!" Du Qingchen looked helpless, as if he was coaxing a rascal child, Tao Xiude naturally saw Du Qingchen's expression, couldn't help but take a deep breath, calm down, calm down, after all, he was making trouble for no reason.
In the room connected to the main room, Du Rulin had already put down the pen in his hand, because Du Qingchen was going to get married, so he took a few days off and came back to help, but he was going to take the exam again, so Father Du and Du Qingchen didn't want it. He helped and only let him review the book at home, so he was writing in the cubicle at the moment, but since Tao Xiude came in, he couldn't continue writing, just listening to the movement outside in a daze.
"The moon is white and the wind is clear, turning to the ravine."
Du Qingchen stopped writing, and passed the paper to Tao Xiude, with a displeased expression on his face.
Tao Xiude quickly picked it up, picked out the white and ditch characters, and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he was a little disappointed. The note was indeed not written by Du Qingchen.
The smile on Du Qingchen's face faded, "My lord, I'm going to get married in the future. If that's the case, I shouldn't write it. It's unlucky."
The so-called moon is white and the wind is clear, turning to the ravine, which means that on a quiet and beautiful night with a moon, he traveled to another country and died in the ravine. Tao Xiude asked him to write such a sentence, even if Du Qingchen was angry, it was understandable.
Tao Xiude was stunned for a moment, and quickly apologized.
"Young Master Tao has been here today, and he seems to have been testing me, but I don't know what happened to make Young Master doubt me so much?" Du Qingchen stood up.
"No, how come..." Tao Xiude smiled.
Du Qingchen just stared at him for a moment, then sighed, "Forget it, anyway, the young master is the son of the prefect, so what if he doubts me? I'm a commoner, so I should be glad that no official sent me directly to question me. How dare you blame the young master for doubting me?"
"No, no! Boss Du, don't think so. I sincerely regard you as a friend. I think you are a very interesting person. I want to make friends with you." Tao Xiude quickly explained, pretending to be pitiful again .
"It's not easy for me. You always say that it's not easy for you people. Do you think it's easy for people like me? You only need to think about making money to live, and you don't have to worry about your life. But what about me! People like me, who knows What will happen in the next moment? Will someone kill me... Sorry, you are getting married, let's not talk about that." Tao Xiude waved his hand.
Du Qingchen frowned slightly, "I don't understand you, and you don't understand us, so just understand each other."
"That's right! No matter what you say, today is to celebrate your marriage, congratulations!" Tao Xiude stood up and cupped his hands.
"I'll get married in the future..."
"Um... I came early to congratulate. The next day... I may not be here in the next few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time, so I came early."
"My lord is leaving?"
"Don't go, come back soon, there is something to do."
"Okay!" Du Qingchen nodded, "Then when you come back, my shop will probably reopen, and I will cook for you!"
"That's great! When your store opens, I guess my affairs will come to an end. When the time comes, there will be good wine and good food. I will definitely eat to my heart's content! Celebrate!" Tao Xiude said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll have a drink or two with you then." Du Qingchen said with a smile.
Tao Xiude talked a few more polite words, and then he pretended to be leaving, but he turned his head and gave the servant behind him a look. The servant took the order instantly, raised his hand and grabbed Du Qingchen's arm, twisted it, and pressed him down. He fell onto the table with a bang.
Du Qingchen ouched, Du Rulin was startled, and hurried out of the room, "Let go of my brother! Mr. Tao, what are you doing!"
"Oh! What is this!" Tao Xiude hurriedly stopped the servant.
The servant said with a cold face: "I see that this gentleman seemed to be trying to harm the young master just now, and wanted to touch something from his arms..."
"Nonsense! Let go! Boss Du, are you okay!" Tao Xiude hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"It's all right." Du Qingchen rubbed his arms, stood up, and understood the reason for this incident in his heart, but he didn't expect that Tao Xiude really didn't give any face, and directly forced it.But this also shows that Tao Xiude suspects that someone who knows martial arts put the jade pendant in his room, so he came to test him. Thinking about it, Xiao Er is not suspected at all.
It's dark under the lamp, Mr. Tao!Du Qingchen secretly laughed in his heart, but his face was very ugly, "I didn't intend to take anything out of my arms, this little brother must have misread it!"
"Yes yes yes! He got it wrong, Boss Du, hey, look at this, I'm so sorry, I just said I won't take you out, you man! I don't like to take you out because of this!" Tao Xiu De pointed at the servant and blamed, "Quickly apologize to Boss Du!"
"I'm sorry!" The servant bowed and saluted.
"It's okay. I'll just let it go. If you have a good relationship with your son, you can't be kind. You'd better pay more attention!"
"Yes."
Du Rulin pulled Du Qingchen's arm to check and make sure he was fine before giving up.
Tao Xiude was about to leave, Du Qingchen hurriedly said: "Young master, didn't you just say to help me measure the characters? What did you see? You haven't told me yet!"
Tao Xiude choked, he hadn't thought about this question at all, but it was understandable for Du Qingchen to ask, Tao Xiude thought for a while, and then said: "Boss Du's fortune is long, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the family is full of children and grandchildren, which is a good sign. Good omen! Hahaha!"
"Thank you Mr. Tao for your words." Du Qingchen bowed his hands with a smile, sent him out of the gate, and then turned around.
"Brother, they're going too far!" Du Rulin said angrily when Du Qingchen returned to the room.
"It's okay, he didn't try hard, he just wanted to see if I would resist instinctively, if I have martial arts." Du Qingchen was fine, sitting in the main room, Du Qingchen casually opened the gift box that Tao Xiude brought over , I saw a small gold inlaid jade ornament inside.
Du Qingchen closed it with a sneer, "I'll sell this thing tomorrow, and make a small profit. My capital will be enough. I really want to thank him for paying it back." Du Qingchen raised his hand and gently rubbed his twisted arm .
After leaving Du's Village on horseback, Tao Xiude asked with a cold face, "Are you sure?"
The servant nodded, "Confirmed, no martial arts, just an ordinary person."
"It really doesn't look like him anymore. I'm overthinking it, but he's just a smarter, ordinary person." Tao Xiude sighed.
……
On the day of their marriage, Du Qingchen was knocked on the door by Du's father early in the morning and shouted. It was only slightly bright at this time.
"Get up and wash up soon, eat something earlier, and prepare earlier, so as not to be in a hurry and make mistakes."
"Yes, dad." Du Qingchen got up helplessly and began to tidy up.
When country people get married, they invite outsiders to cook. Even if Du Qingchen is a cook himself, there is no reason for him to do it. Therefore, the cook who divided the pork the day before yesterday was already standing by the big pot in the yard. Du Qingchen got up, and greeted with a smile, "The groom is up, he is going to marry a wife today, congratulations!"
Du Qingchen cupped his hands in return, "Good morning! Thank you, I will trouble you today."
"Look at what you said, it shouldn't be!" The cook continued to work, so Du Qingchen found water to wash up, and ate something before he became fully awake.
Du Rulin hadn't gotten up yet, and no one called him. After all, he was a child, so Father Du still wanted him to sleep more.Apart from the sound of the chef chopping vegetables and cooking meat, there was no other sound in the yard, and it was still very quiet.
As the sky gradually brightened, the people who came to help and welcome the relatives gradually gathered in the courtyard of Du's house. Du Rulin was woken up without being called, rubbed his eyes and got up to tidy himself up. In the courtyard, Du Qingchen was asking for help from the same village. Talk to those who went with him to meet his relatives.
"Brother." Du Rulin changed into clothes that are convenient for activities. He also has to receive guests today.
"Get up! Let's go and eat something! After a while, it's almost time to clean up, we should go, and the house will be handed over to you."
"Yeah." Du Rulin nodded. His brother was going to meet his relatives, and he and his father were going to receive guests at home, so they both had their own things to do.
"Brother Qingchen, do you think that your business in the town is so profitable? In just such a short period of time, look at you, the debts have been paid off, the house has been built, and even the well has been dug. You are too good. No, will you take me with you too?"
"I said brother! If you don't dislike my small temple, then come to help, just like being talented and rich!"
"This...hehe..." Du Youcai and Du Fugui are both children. Besides, Du Qingchen recruited them in the name of half apprentice and half man. Du Qingchen also taught them how to cook. The payment is extremely low, only three or four hundred cash per month. If it were him, he would not be able to support his family or make ends meet, so forget it!
After chatting for a while, Du Qingchen watched all directions with his eyes and ears, and smiled at people he didn't know, and then listened to others' names, and gradually figured out the identities of many people, filling in the lack of memories of the original body.
"It's almost time everyone, it's almost time, it's time to go, remember to carry the things who should carry it! Don't let it go, Qingchen, go back and change clothes!" The elders of the clan shouted.
"Understood." Du Qingchen trotted into the bedroom, and soon changed into the groom's clothes, which he hadn't changed just now because he was afraid of getting dirty.
There was a tall horse parked at the door, with a red cloth flower tied on its head. The horse, like the sedan chair, was rented by Du's father, and it was also a necessary item for the villagers to get married.
"Have you ever ridden a horse, Brother Qingchen? Be steady, don't fall off, hahaha..." At the door, the villagers watching the excitement laughed and joked.
"It's okay, this horse is docile. After so many years, who doesn't use it for marriage? It hasn't hurt anyone! It's not even afraid of firecrackers."
Du Qingchen was secretly relieved when someone explained it. He really doesn't know how to ride a horse, but this horse has been rented by people all the year round when they get married. I think he should be used to it. It will be disturbed.
But Du Qingchen still waited for the firecrackers to be set off before getting on the horse. He didn't want to challenge the possible danger, but this horse is indeed docile. When the firecrackers were lit, it only moved a little, which was nothing. With such a big move, Du Qingchen got on the horse with peace of mind.
"Let's go!" Someone shouted, and everyone stood in their respective positions. Those who should carry the sedan chair carried the sedan chair, those who should carry the gift box carried the gift box, and those who should play the gongs and drums walked towards Sujia Village together.
In the Su family village, Su Dong also woke up early. First, his face was crushed by several brothers and elders, and his eyes were full of pain. He put on makeup again, smearing a thick layer of white powder and black. eyebrows.
"Oh, our Brother Dong is just good-looking. When the Du family boy sees it at night, his eyes will be straightened." The elder beside him joked with a smile.
Is it pretty?Su Dong froze for a moment. Originally, he had been sitting upright and didn't move at all, but after hearing this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at himself in the glasses. The red wedding dress was embroidered with exquisite and complicated patterns. , white face, black eyebrows, and a hairpin on top of his head, because he is a brother, so he doesn't need to wear too much jewelry.
Su Dong looked left and right, and always felt that he was not as good-looking as his elders said. Would Du Qingchen think he was ugly?
Su Dong opened his mouth slightly worried.
"Look, we Dong brothers are all stunned by our own beauty!"
I'm not!I don't!Su Dong especially wanted to take off his makeup. He always felt that this was not as good as his original appearance. At least, Du Qingchen liked his original appearance!
But he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that his elders would criticize him, and he also knew that it was a must-have makeup for getting married, so he could only lower his head in the end, secretly hoping that Du Qingchen would also find him good-looking.
If...if Du Qingchen doesn't like it, then he...he...wash his face...Su Dong thought cowardly.
"The groom is here!" The elder's voice came from outside the door, Su Dong was startled, and quickly sat upright again.
"Father, mother! I'm here to pick up Su Dong!" Outside the door, Du Qingchen shouted cheerfully to Su's parents as soon as he entered.
In the house, Su Dong's face turned red, but he was covered with white powder, so he couldn't see the blush at all. Su Dong saw his appearance in the mirror, and suddenly felt that he understood, why brother? Sons and girls have to wear such heavy makeup when they get married. Apart from covering up the shortcomings of the face, the biggest effect is probably to cover up the blushing!
Outside, the people in Sujia Village couldn't embarrass Du Qingchen at all. Generally speaking, the first hurdle for a groom who came to the door was to change his words. Most of the people in Sujia Village were dumbfounded. They changed their minds on their own, so why are they coaxing? !
It doesn't matter, there is a red envelope!
The children rushed forward and blocked Du Qingchen's way. Du Qingchen had already prepared for it. The brothers behind him had prepared happy money and sprinkled it directly behind him. The children cheered and rushed behind Du Qingchen. No one in the way.
The people of Sujia Village tacitly backed away and made way for the groom officer, who was too well prepared, so they didn't recruit.
"Father and mother." Du Qingchen happily walked to the main room, bowed to Su's father and Su's mother, and smiled happily. "Where's Su Dong?"
This is too fast!Although Su's father and Su's mother were satisfied with Du Qingchen, Du Qingchen walked in front of them in just a moment, and none of the relatives and friends of the Su family could stop Du Qingchen's footsteps, which made them wonder whether they should let him go. Is Jia Dong'er ready?
Su Dong was ready a long time ago, but he just sat and waited. Su's father and Su's mother couldn't make noise to stop him, they could only get out of the way and let the elders in the house help Su Dong out of the house.
"The newcomer enters the sedan chair!"
Holding the hand of the elder beside him, Su Dong stepped into Du Qingchen's sedan chair with a red hijab on his head.Du Qingchen couldn't talk to Su Dong, but just smiled silently.
Although there was a lot of noise around, Su Dong seemed to have heard Du Qingchen's laughter, he couldn't help but pause, his face became hotter and hotter.
Du Qingchen rode in front on a horse, followed by a sedan chair, and went back to Du's house beating drums and gongs all the way. Inside Du's house, the main room had been cleaned up, and Du's father had also changed into new clothes. The wrinkles on his smiling face became more obvious Yes, but the spirit is very good.
Amidst the booing of the crowd, Su Dong got off the sedan chair, and Du Qingchen was finally able to justifiably pull Su Dong... the red silk in his hand.
Well, we have to wait, Du Qingchen thought to himself with a smile.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two thanks to the high hall."
"Happy husband and wife."
"Send to the bridal chamber!"
"Okay!" The relatives and friends who watched laughed and applauded. Du Qingchen sent Su Dong into their house, but was dragged out by the clansmen of the same village.
"Drink and drink! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"
"I'll wipe it! I won't accompany you! It's my big day today, what should I do if I'm drunk!" Du Qingchen was dragged out, and the table was already set up for a banquet outside, but the person who pulled him was considered his brother, so Du Qingchen didn't care Shaking off the opponent's arm to save face, the booing of the crowd became more and more eager.
The wooden house is not soundproof, Su Dong can clearly hear the voices outside, lowered his head slightly, the door has been closed, it is estimated that no one will come in again before the banquet is over, Su Dong is also relieved, can't help it Looking around from under the hijab, the wooden floor is very comfortable to step on, and there is a faint woody fragrance in the whole room. Su Dong moved slightly, and felt something on the bed. He raised his hand and touched it. Some dried fruit candies came out.
Actually... I'm a little hungry, eat a little, it's okay!Su Dong was thinking tangledly.
Tao Xiude nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "It seems that I was wrong."
He may indeed be wrong. Firstly, he misunderstood the lives of the common people. Second, he overestimated Du Qingchen. If Du Qingchen really has such a great ability, if he can get the jade pendant, he can find someone to put it in his house. Why can't even afford a table, chairs and benches.
After all, Du Qingchen is just an ordinary commoner. Even if he is a little clever, he is not worthy of high regard. It is because he thinks too much.
"What's wrong with your master?" Du Qingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled.
But just in case, since Tao Xiude is here, it is impossible to leave like this, Tao Xiude smiled, "Misunderstood the life of the people in the world!"
Du Qingchen chuckled, "My son is from a wealthy family, so it's only right that he hasn't been in touch with ordinary people's lives. It's nothing wrong."
Tao Xiude nodded, skipped over this, and said, "Boss Du, I'm here this time to give you congratulations, and secondly, I want to ask you a little question."
"Please sir."
"I don't understand why Boss Du put the jade pendant in my room?" Tao Xiude said suddenly.

Tao Xiude: ...
"Uh, Boss Du really doesn't know?"
"I really don't know, why would you think I gave it to you?"
Tao Xiude rubbed his nose, "It's not because, apart from Uncle Liu and the others, I only know you here! Thinking about it, who else could it be? It can only be you!" Tao Xiude smiled.
Du Qingchen lowered his eyes, "Young master, I don't even know where you live! What are you talking about putting it in your house? Besides, I'm busy these days. Look, I'm going to get married soon, and I can't separate myself. I don't have time to find you!"
"Well, there are no friends or anything like that? Can you help me?"
"Young master, you are joking. People in my village who have a good relationship with my family and have relatives are here to help now. Those who are farther away, such as Qiu Tieniu and the others, are also familiar with the Su family. They help in the Su family! Getting married For major events, relatives and friends must follow along!"
There seems to be some truth in what he said, and these people are just ordinary people, and they can't open the window into his house in broad daylight and put a jade pendant there.
Tao Xiude took out a piece of paper and said to Du Qingchen, "Write a few words for me, just use a burnt stick to scratch it."
"This..." Du Qingchen hesitated.
"What? Is there a problem?" Tao Xiude's eyes lit up.
"My lord, why did you do such a thing?" Du Qingchen asked tentatively.
"Uh... just for fun, recently I learned a skill, I can tell what will happen to this person from the words, it's like fortune-telling, so, try it! You don't want to know when you're getting married Is it suitable for you and your future husband? Can you live well?"
Du Qingchen chuckled, "I don't believe in this, I only believe in myself, and I also believe in my husband, we will live well. Even if there are some conflicts, I will let him go."
"Uh, just take a random test, don't worry, just write it and try it!" Tao Xiude smiled, but his attitude was firm.
Du Qingchen had no choice but to say, "Let's do it!"
Du Qingchen went out and brought back a burnt wooden stick. He sat on a chair and wrote the word Du Qingchen on a piece of paper. Then he put down the stick, and Tao Xiude hurried over to look at it.
"Er... why did you write your own name?" How would he compare strokes?

"Yes yes yes! He got it wrong, Boss Du, hey, look at this, I'm so sorry, I just said I won't take you out, you man! I don't like to take you out because of this!" Tao Xiu De pointed at the servant and blamed, "Quickly apologize to Boss Du!"
"I'm sorry!" The servant bowed and saluted.
"It's okay. I'll just let it go. If you have a good relationship with your son, you can't be kind. You'd better pay more attention!"
"Yes."
Du Rulin pulled Du Qingchen's arm to check and make sure he was fine before giving up.
Tao Xiude was about to leave, Du Qingchen hurriedly said: "Young master, didn't you just say to help me measure the characters? What did you see? You haven't told me yet!"
Tao Xiude choked, he hadn't thought about this question at all, but it was understandable for Du Qingchen to ask, Tao Xiude thought for a while, and then said: "Boss Du's fortune is long, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the family is full of children and grandchildren, which is a good sign. Good omen! Hahaha!"
"Thank you Mr. Tao for your words." Du Qingchen bowed his hands with a smile, sent him out of the gate, and then turned around.
"Brother, they're going too far!" Du Rulin said angrily when Du Qingchen returned to the room.
"It's okay, he didn't try hard, he just wanted to see if I would resist instinctively, if I have martial arts." Du Qingchen was fine, sitting in the main room, Du Qingchen casually opened the gift box that Tao Xiude brought over , I saw a small gold inlaid jade ornament inside.
Du Qingchen closed it with a sneer, "I'll sell this thing tomorrow, and make a small profit. My capital will be enough. I really want to thank him for paying it back." Du Qingchen raised his hand and gently rubbed his twisted arm .
After leaving Du's Village on horseback, Tao Xiude asked with a cold face, "Are you sure?"
The servant nodded, "Confirmed, no martial arts, just an ordinary person."
"It really doesn't look like him anymore. I'm overthinking it, but he's just a smarter, ordinary person." Tao Xiude sighed.
……
On the day of their marriage, Du Qingchen was knocked on the door by Du's father early in the morning and shouted. It was only slightly bright at this time.
"Get up and wash up soon, eat something earlier, and prepare earlier, so as not to be in a hurry and make mistakes."
"Yes, dad." Du Qingchen got up helplessly and began to tidy up.
When country people get married, they invite outsiders to cook. Even if Du Qingchen is a cook himself, there is no reason for him to do it. Therefore, the cook who divided the pork the day before yesterday was already standing by the big pot in the yard. Du Qingchen got up, and greeted with a smile, "The groom is up, he is going to marry a wife today, congratulations!"
Du Qingchen cupped his hands in return, "Good morning! Thank you, I will trouble you today."
"Look at what you said, it shouldn't be!" The cook continued to work, so Du Qingchen found water to wash up, and ate something before he became fully awake.
Du Rulin hadn't gotten up yet, and no one called him. After all, he was a child, so Father Du still wanted him to sleep more.Apart from the sound of the chef chopping vegetables and cooking meat, there was no other sound in the yard, and it was still very quiet.
As the sky gradually brightened, the people who came to help and welcome the relatives gradually gathered in the courtyard of Du's house. Du Rulin was woken up without being called, rubbed his eyes and got up to tidy himself up. In the courtyard, Du Qingchen was asking for help from the same village. Talk to those who went with him to meet his relatives.
"Brother." Du Rulin changed into clothes that are convenient for activities. He also has to receive guests today.
"Get up! Let's go and eat something! After a while, it's almost time to clean up, we should go, and the house will be handed over to you."
"Yeah." Du Rulin nodded. His brother was going to meet his relatives, and he and his father were going to receive guests at home, so they both had their own things to do.
"Brother Qingchen, do you think that your business in the town is so profitable? In just such a short period of time, look at you, the debts have been paid off, the house has been built, and even the well has been dug. You are too good. No, will you take me with you too?"
"I said brother! If you don't dislike my small temple, then come to help, just like being talented and rich!"
"This...hehe..." Du Youcai and Du Fugui are both children. Besides, Du Qingchen recruited them in the name of half apprentice and half man. Du Qingchen also taught them how to cook. The payment is extremely low, only three or four hundred cash per month. If it were him, he would not be able to support his family or make ends meet, so forget it!
After chatting for a while, Du Qingchen watched all directions with his eyes and ears, and smiled at people he didn't know, and then listened to others' names, and gradually figured out the identities of many people, filling in the lack of memories of the original body.
"It's almost time everyone, it's almost time, it's time to go, remember to carry the things who should carry it! Don't let it go, Qingchen, go back and change clothes!" The elders of the clan shouted.
"Understood." Du Qingchen trotted into the bedroom, and soon changed into the groom's clothes, which he hadn't changed just now because he was afraid of getting dirty.
There was a tall horse parked at the door, with a red cloth flower tied on its head. The horse, like the sedan chair, was rented by Du's father, and it was also a necessary item for the villagers to get married.
"Have you ever ridden a horse, Brother Qingchen? Be steady, don't fall off, hahaha..." At the door, the villagers watching the excitement laughed and joked.
"It's okay, this horse is docile. After so many years, who doesn't use it for marriage? It hasn't hurt anyone! It's not even afraid of firecrackers."
Du Qingchen was secretly relieved when someone explained it. He really doesn't know how to ride a horse, but this horse has been rented by people all the year round when they get married. I think he should be used to it. It will be disturbed.
But Du Qingchen still waited for the firecrackers to be set off before getting on the horse. He didn't want to challenge the possible danger, but this horse is indeed docile. When the firecrackers were lit, it only moved a little, which was nothing. With such a big move, Du Qingchen got on the horse with peace of mind.
"Let's go!" Someone shouted, and everyone stood in their respective positions. Those who should carry the sedan chair carried the sedan chair, those who should carry the gift box carried the gift box, and those who should play the gongs and drums walked towards Sujia Village together.
In the Su family village, Su Dong also woke up early. First, his face was crushed by several brothers and elders, and his eyes were full of pain. He put on makeup again, smearing a thick layer of white powder and black. eyebrows.
"Oh, our Brother Dong is just good-looking. When the Du family boy sees it at night, his eyes will be straightened." The elder beside him joked with a smile.
Is it pretty?Su Dong froze for a moment. Originally, he had been sitting upright and didn't move at all, but after hearing this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at himself in the glasses. The red wedding dress was embroidered with exquisite and complicated patterns. , white face, black eyebrows, and a hairpin on top of his head, because he is a brother, so he doesn't need to wear too much jewelry.
Su Dong looked left and right, and always felt that he was not as good-looking as his elders said. Would Du Qingchen think he was ugly?
Su Dong opened his mouth slightly worried.
"Look, we Dong brothers are all stunned by our own beauty!"
I'm not!I don't!Su Dong especially wanted to take off his makeup. He always felt that this was not as good as his original appearance. At least, Du Qingchen liked his original appearance!
But he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that his elders would criticize him, and he also knew that it was a must-have makeup for getting married, so he could only lower his head in the end, secretly hoping that Du Qingchen would also find him good-looking.
If...if Du Qingchen doesn't like it, then he...he...wash his face...Su Dong thought cowardly.
"The groom is here!" The elder's voice came from outside the door, Su Dong was startled, and quickly sat upright again.
"Father, mother! I'm here to pick up Su Dong!" Outside the door, Du Qingchen shouted cheerfully to Su's parents as soon as he entered.
In the house, Su Dong's face turned red, but he was covered with white powder, so he couldn't see the blush at all. Su Dong saw his appearance in the mirror, and suddenly felt that he understood, why brother? Sons and girls have to wear such heavy makeup when they get married. Apart from covering up the shortcomings of the face, the biggest effect is probably to cover up the blushing!
Outside, the people in Sujia Village couldn't embarrass Du Qingchen at all. Generally speaking, the first hurdle for a groom who came to the door was to change his words. Most of the people in Sujia Village were dumbfounded. They changed their minds on their own, so why are they coaxing? !
It doesn't matter, there is a red envelope!
The children rushed forward and blocked Du Qingchen's way. Du Qingchen had already prepared for it. The brothers behind him had prepared happy money and sprinkled it directly behind him. The children cheered and rushed behind Du Qingchen. No one in the way.
The people of Sujia Village tacitly backed away and made way for the groom officer, who was too well prepared, so they didn't recruit.
"Father and mother." Du Qingchen happily walked to the main room, bowed to Su's father and Su's mother, and smiled happily. "Where's Su Dong?"
This is too fast!Although Su's father and Su's mother were satisfied with Du Qingchen, Du Qingchen walked in front of them in just a moment, and none of the relatives and friends of the Su family could stop Du Qingchen's footsteps, which made them wonder whether they should let him go. Is Jia Dong'er ready?
Su Dong was ready a long time ago, but he just sat and waited. Su's father and Su's mother couldn't make noise to stop him, they could only get out of the way and let the elders in the house help Su Dong out of the house.
"The newcomer enters the sedan chair!"
Holding the hand of the elder beside him, Su Dong stepped into Du Qingchen's sedan chair with a red hijab on his head.Du Qingchen couldn't talk to Su Dong, but just smiled silently.
Although there was a lot of noise around, Su Dong seemed to have heard Du Qingchen's laughter, he couldn't help but pause, his face became hotter and hotter.
Du Qingchen rode in front on a horse, followed by a sedan chair, and went back to Du's house beating drums and gongs all the way. Inside Du's house, the main room had been cleaned up, and Du's father had also changed into new clothes. The wrinkles on his smiling face became more obvious Yes, but the spirit is very good.
Amidst the booing of the crowd, Su Dong got off the sedan chair, and Du Qingchen was finally able to justifiably pull Su Dong... the red silk in his hand.
Well, we have to wait, Du Qingchen thought to himself with a smile.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two thanks to the high hall."
"Happy husband and wife."
"Send to the bridal chamber!"
"Okay!" The relatives and friends who watched laughed and applauded. Du Qingchen sent Su Dong into their house, but was dragged out by the clansmen of the same village.
"Drink and drink! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"
"I'll wipe it! I won't accompany you! It's my big day today, what should I do if I'm drunk!" Du Qingchen was dragged out, and the table was already set up for a banquet outside, but the person who pulled him was considered his brother, so Du Qingchen didn't care Shaking off the opponent's arm to save face, the booing of the crowd became more and more eager.
The wooden house is not soundproof, Su Dong can clearly hear the voices outside, lowered his head slightly, the door has been closed, it is estimated that no one will come in again before the banquet is over, Su Dong is also relieved, can't help it Looking around from under the hijab, the wooden floor is very comfortable to step on, and there is a faint woody fragrance in the whole room. Su Dong moved slightly, and felt something on the bed. He raised his hand and touched it. Some dried fruit candies came out.
Actually... I'm a little hungry, eat a little, it's okay!Su Dong was thinking tangledly.
