Zhen Lian of the Red Chamber

Time flies, it is already September, and the ninth day of the lunar month is Zhen Lian's birthday.Because of their honesty and age, they planned to celebrate Zhen Lian's birthday at home.

On this day, Zhen's mother got up early to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Zhen Lian. There was only one noodle in each bowl. Zhen Lian found the end of the noodles and chewed carefully, swallowing slowly to prevent the noodles from breaking.She ate up the noodles, drank the soup in one gulp, and burped a lot. Zhen Lian touched her swollen stomach and sighed with a smile: "Mother's cooking is really good, I haven't eaten such delicious noodles for a long time, thank you Mother, mother is the best for me."

"If you like, I will often make it for you in the future." Mother Zhen's smile spread across her face, she picked up the clothes beside her and said, "I think your wedding dress is almost embroidered, it's just that there are a few places that are missing. Now it's autumn again, so hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up. After today's birthday, the date of your marriage will be fixed. Besides, Xianglian's clothes haven't been made yet. I'm afraid the date will have to be set next year. , or next year, there are several good days suitable for getting married."

Talking about everyday things, Zhen Lian just smiled and nodded, "I think spring is better, so I will choose a day next spring. The weather is also good, neither cold nor hot."

"Well, let's wait until we look at the specific date. Now your dowry is almost ready, and the most important property has been bought dozens of acres. Only the furniture is being sold. This is not urgent. You can do it this year. Finished."

Zhen Lian thought of the property because of chance. When several people were disappointed because they couldn't find a good field, they heard that a big family in Lincun was anxious to sell the land.The fields of his family are also very good, they are all connected high-quality paddy fields.Just because the descendants of the family were unfilial, they got involved in gambling and lost a good foundation.Now there is only the ancestral house and fields left, and he sold the last one.

When Liu Xianglian found out, she immediately went to Lincun to buy the land from his family. Fortunately, she was one step ahead. As soon as she and the family went through the formalities and came back, several people came to buy the land after hearing the news. When they learned that it had been sold, they were disappointed. Return, otherwise it would not be in the hands of the Zhen family.

Birthday is not a big deal, just a few people have a meal.After a lively meal, everyone dispersed, Liu Xianglian took out a box and handed it to Zhenlian, and said with a smile: "This is a gift for you, let's see if you like it."

When I opened it, there was a peach blossom jade hairpin lying inside. When I picked it up gently, the hairpin was warm and delicate, and it was made of fine jade material.Zhen Lian handed it back to him, "Bring it to me."

Liu Xianglian leaned over and put the hairpin on Zhen Lian's head. Zhen Lian reached out to touch it and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful, you look good in whatever you wear." Liu Xianglian looked at the beauty bathed in the light with gentle eyes.

Soon she will be his wife, and the two will build a new home, and they will spend the rest of their lives with them.

In the blink of an eye, the next year has come, and all the preparations for the marriage of the two families have been completed. Last year, the two families have already decided to get married on March 25 this year.

It was the tenth day of March, and the house had been packed long ago, waiting for Aunt Liu Xianglian's arrival. It was only in the afternoon that a group of people were ushered in.Aunt Liu Xianglian was very happy to meet her nephew. After talking, Aunt Liu took Zhen Lian to look at her for a while, and said with a smile: "But seeing you, you are such a good boy. It is really us who can meet you." Xianglian is so lucky." Then she turned to Zhen's mother and said, "I've wanted to come a long time ago, but my family has been unable to get away, so I just came now, Madam, please forgive me for my negligence."

Zhen's mother hurriedly said: "Where is this? It's normal to be busy at home. Besides, since we came here, Xianglian has been worrying about food and housing. There is nothing bad about it. He is also caring and sincere. He treats me better than Lian'er." Well, I said that I want such a son."

"Isn't he your son from now on?" Mrs. Liu raised her eyes and smiled, and said, "From now on, we will be a family, and I won't be polite to you. You know at home, my brother and sister-in-law are gone, and I married far away. I thought in my heart that he often didn't care about him. It's hard for him to grow up so big. I used to worry about him all the time, but now he's fine, he's about to get married, and he's become more stable in the past few years. After he gets married, I will also Don't worry, I'm afraid you need to be more worried and take care of him, he doesn't know many things about his family, if he does not do well in the future, you can just discipline him."

After finishing speaking, he said to Liu Xianglian: "Remember what you said before, treat Lian'er well, and be filial to your mother-in-law. If you do anything wrong to her, I will come from home and beat you." Xianglian's forehead.

This nephew of mine has always been my worry. He has been stubborn since he was a child. After his elder brother and sister-in-law left, he wanted to pick him up, but this kid refused to live or die. He just wanted to live on his own.Later, when I grew up, I had to travel around again, and I couldn't persuade him, so I had to go with him. Fortunately, I met Zhen Lian a few years ago, and I gradually became more stable, and I have a plan in my heart, and I will plan for the future.I was very happy when I heard the news, I had been looking forward to their marriage for a long time, and now I finally waited until today.

"Auntie, spare me! I'm not that kind of person, my aunt won't love me when she has a nephew and daughter-in-law!" Liu Xianglian also showed some childish attitude when she met Liu Shi, and joked.

"No, I don't want to love her too much for such a good girl. I have only two boys in my life, and I only look forward to a girl! Now that I see you, don't you love me? What do you little brats do? Let me worry about it." Liu Shi made a big hand to Liu Xianglian a few times, eyes full of love hidden in the depths.

Several people continued talking, and after living in the city for a few days, the Liu family went to the city to get busy at the Liu family's ancestral house, and the manor here is also busy all the time, busy with the wedding event that will be more than ten days away.

Since the Zhen family has no relatives or friends in the capital, in order to make the wedding day more lively, they planned to invite the whole village of Taohua Village to have a wedding wine on the wedding day, and the wedding invitations were sent out as early as early March.Liu Xianglian didn't have any close relatives, and only invited her clansmen and neighbors and friends, and these people were all invited to the Liu family's ancestral house.The two families were short of manpower, so they had to invite some people to help.

The wedding day is getting closer, and Zhen Lian's heart is getting flustered day by day. She doesn't know why she is flustered. She only gets worried from time to time for no reason. Zhen Lian knows that she has some pre-marital fears, but she can't find it. The reason is that the two fall in love with each other, and their relationship is deepening day by day, so there is no need to panic.

I had to find some things to pass the time and divert my attention. I thought it was because I was too free today. My mother Zhen, Liu Shu, Liu Aunt, etc. were busy back and forth every day with happy faces. I had nothing to do, no wonder I was thinking wildly. Thinking about doing needlework, reading and writing, and gradually calming down.

On the 24th, the day before they got married, Zhen's mother and Zhen Lian rested together, and they washed and undressed and lay on the bed.After half a day, Zhen's mother said softly: "Tomorrow you will get married, that is, you will really grow up. I know Xianglian's character after getting along with her for so many years. Needless to say, there is only good for you, even for me. It's almost there. When you get married in the future, remember to treat him well, but don't use your temper indiscriminately, and act arrogantly just because he treats you well."

After hearing this, Zhen Lian hurriedly said: "I am also very good to him, mother, why are you partial to him? Now he is not your son-in-law! If this is the case, then after we get married tomorrow, I will have to be seen by you to the sky." !" Turned over and hugged Mother Zhen, leaning into her arms and acting like a spoiled child.

Knowing that my mother is also somewhat reluctant to marry by herself, although she still lives together after marriage, every mother marrying her daughter

It's all sad!Then he accompanied him and said something to relieve his worries.

Only in the middle of the night, Mother Zhen took out a book from the pillow and handed it to Zhen Lian, "You keep this, read it if you need it." After speaking, she smiled.

Zhen Lian took it, the lights in the room had already been turned off, and she couldn't see what book it was, so she stuffed it under the pillow as usual.At this time I gave myself something, thinking about it, I only had that kind of thing. I thought my mother would give me something, but it turned out to be just a book, and I don’t know if there are any paintings in it, and whether the paintings are good or not.

I heard that there are also books for more powerful molds. Compared with that, these books are also pediatrics.It's just where did the book girl come from? They definitely didn't bring these when they came to the capital, so they only bought them these days. Aunt Liu must have brought them, no one else.

She fell asleep in a daze, and when she fell asleep, she was woken up by Zhen's mother. Zhen Lian looked outside, and it was still dark.Knowing that today I have to get up early to freshen up and dress up, I had to cheer up.

After washing up, mother Zhen and a group of people dragged her face makeup and combed her hair, and finally put on the wedding dress. After two hours of tossing, everything was ready, and it was dawn at this time.The house gradually became lively.

This morning, Zhen's family held a banquet. As the sun came up, everything was ready, and the guests gradually came. Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Zhen Lian sat on the bed in the room and waited for the groom to pick her up in the afternoon.

All the people who came to congratulate her were villagers from Taohua Village, and no one came to disturb Zhen Lian in the house, so Zhen Lian had to sit in the house accompanied by Liu Erjinger.As time passed, Zhen Lian's stomach made a rumbling sound, and just about to sigh, she swallowed her words when she thought of Zhen's mother's instruction that the big day should not be filled with joy.Rubbing my belly, today I am not allowed to eat according to the custom before going out, I also ate little yesterday, and now I am already hungry.

Thinking that the people in the front yard are enjoying the delicious food and wine, but I am suffering from hunger here, I am getting more and more hungry.Thinking about what was there and what was not, it was funny in my heart, and then I thought that it was almost noon, and Liu Xianglian had to leave home too!

He will ride a tall horse, wear a red wedding dress made by himself, and wear a red silk flower on his chest, and smile to meet himself waiting here, and the two will build a happy home together.
