Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing

Lu Dongfu got up early this morning, before dawn.

Maybe it's because today is a big day for her to get married. A few days ago, when she opened her eyes every day, she still felt anxious, but when this day really came, she only had calmness and expectation in her heart.

Because the wedding was held in the afternoon, the groom's officer would not come until noon, so she still had a whole morning to spare.

This morning, there was not much difference from previous days.

She still has to get dressed and go to the kitchen to make breakfast, with simple stir-fried vegetables and pickled vegetables, and serve it to the table until her parents and younger brother come over for dinner.

Before Lu Bei got up, Lu Chengcai had a quick breakfast and ran out in a hurry, not knowing what he was doing.

Only Mrs. Zhang was still sitting on the edge of the table, eating the rice in the bowl at a slower pace than usual. When Lu Dongfu finished eating and was about to clean up Lu Chengcai's bowls and chopsticks, she said, "Let's put it away, later." I'm done eating, I'll clean it up."

This is strange, since Lu Dongfu took over the housework, Mrs. Zhang didn't even bother to drink saliva by herself, but yelled for her to do it.

Lu Dongfu glanced at her, obediently agreed, and turned to go to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang suddenly grabbed her by the arm, made her sit on the stool, put on a gesture of heart-to-heart talk, and said: "You are going to marry someone else's family today. Serving your husband and the elders of your husband's family, don't get angry and lose your temper. Although Qi Zhongyu is treating you well at the moment, a man's heart is as fickle as the weather in June, and he is born with supernatural power. Remember to bear with him in everything , Otherwise, when he gets angry and beats you to death, neither your father nor I dare to go to the door to seek justice for you."

This is what it says...

Today is a big day for her to get married, what kind of unfavorable words like punching her to death?

Fortunately, Lu Dongfu had been very disappointed with Zhang Shi for a long time, so she didn't get angry, but listened calmly to see what she had to say.

Mrs. Zhang took a sip of porridge and continued: "Although you are married, your surname is Lu all your life. Don't forget your parents and your younger brother. He is the root of our Lu family and your only one." Brother, after a hundred years between me and your father, you, a married woman, can only rely on him."

"So if he encounters any trouble in the future, you should do your best to help him solve it. Helping him is helping you. Your natal family is strong enough to be your confidence. You are smart and sensible, and you should know who to get close to."

Lu Dongfu lowered her head, said nothing, and did not respond.

Mrs. Zhang didn't mind either, and waved her hand to signal her to leave. Lu Dongfu tried her best to keep calm, and walked steadily to the kitchen to boil water.

She once threw herself into the river in despair, but after being on the verge of death, she really didn't care, and she didn't take Zhang's nonsense at all.

After the hot water was boiled in the pot, she mixed cold water, went back to the room and rinsed briefly, then took out the wedding dress embroidered two days ago from the closet.

Because of time constraints, she didn't embroider too many complicated patterns on the wedding dress. The overall look is relatively plain and simple, but she has put a lot of thought into the details. This rushed dowry looks stunning and beautiful.

After changing her clothes, she sat in front of the dressing mirror, dried her slightly wet long hair with a clean handkerchief, picked up the comb on the table and began to comb it slowly.

She still has a lot of time, so she can take her time.

She thought of this marriage and went through the process in her mind.

Yuehe Village is just an ordinary village, with only a few hundred families in the village, so the wedding customs are quite simple.

After the man falls in love with the woman, he will usually invite a reliable matchmaker to come to propose marriage. If the woman is also interested, he will accept the dowry gift from the man. After that, the adults of the two families will meet to set a marriage date. At noon on that day, the groom The official and husband's family will go to the woman's house to pick up the bride and dowry to go home to worship and send them to the bridal chamber, and the marriage will be considered complete.

However, the slightly richer families in the Daqi Dynasty, such as Xueyuan's Waifu, had to go through a complete process of three books and six rituals when they got married.

The three books refer to the letter of appointment, letter of ceremony, and letter of welcome.

The six ceremonies refer to nacai, asking names, naji, nazheng, asking for a date, and personally welcoming.

Lu Dongfu rejoiced in her heart that she was a girl from the village, so she was able to agree on a marriage in just a few days and marry the person she liked.

Thinking of Qi Zhongyu, she couldn't help but see the face she saw yesterday, her heart couldn't help beating, and her face gradually became warm.

She didn't need to look in the mirror to know that she was blushing again. She really deserved to be a sister who was a compatriot with Lu Sanya's mother. She had the habit of blushing and shyness.

After combing her long hair, she was about to untie it when she heard someone knocking on her door.

It must not be Mrs. Zhang, because Mrs. Zhang would only barge in directly. Who could it be, who chose to come here at this time? Could it be Lu Sanya?

She raised her lips and walked forward to open the door, but the person standing outside the door was not Lu Sanya, but a middle-aged woman with an unfamiliar appearance. She lowered her eyes slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her withered cheeks. He looked very flustered.

Seeing her like this, Lu Dongfu felt quite familiar. The other party was probably not used to being stared at directly, fingers uneasily tugged at the hem of her clothes, and her face habitually showed a somewhat obsequious smile. Timid smile.

Lu Dongfu was shocked, and suddenly realized why she thought this person looked so familiar.

Because her facial features are [-]% similar to Lu Sanya, if Lu Dongfu was not sure that Lu Sanya was born by Zhang, in the eyes of outsiders, they might mistakenly think that this woman is Lu Sanya's biological mother.

Can……

No, Lu Dongfu said in shock: "You are the eldest sister?"

That's right, she looks very similar to Lu Sanya, even the little moves are exactly the same, it can only be her and Sanya's eldest sister, Daya Lu.

But how could she be so old, she is only three years older than herself, only this year!

But this face looks like a woman from the village.

Lu Daya was recognized by her, and she stammered at a loss: "Second sister, I just came to see you. I heard that you came back to the village. I wanted to see you before, but... I haven't been able to find time. Come."

"A few days ago, I heard that you were getting married, so I thought I must come over. I was lucky, and I just caught up with your wedding day. I, I have missed you all these years. Use it, otherwise you won’t be sold to someone else by your parents.”

"In these years, you must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances when you were alone. I'm sorry, but I'm useless. I can't find you, and I don't have any money."

She wiped her tears, choked up and said, "Fortunately, you are fine. Now that you have grown up and are so beautiful, like a fairy in the sky, I am completely relieved. That's great, thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing."

She was in a panic and wanted to continue talking, but Lu Dongfu couldn't bear it any longer, and walked up to her and stretched out his arms to hug her.

Lu Daya choked and said, "Second Sister, I miss you so much..."

Lu Dongfu also choked up, her eyes were red, tears were streaming down her face, and she said, "Sister, I miss you too."

She remembered that she was brought up by her eldest sister when she was a child. Since she was born, the Daqi Dynasty, which had been prosperous and prosperous for more than two hundred years, encountered natural disasters again and again, and her life was miserable. The ions are scattered, the family is broken and the family is destroyed.

Before she was five years old, her grandparents starved to death, and the family didn’t have much rations. It was the eldest sister who was hungry, so she had to save an extra bite of food for her, and patiently taught her how to do housework, so that I won't make my mother angry and be beaten and scolded by my mother.

Although the eldest sister is only three years older than her, and a young child like her, she is like a reliable elder, caring for her, loving her and loving her.

Lu Dongfu was sold to Yuan Xue's mansion by Ren Yazi. Sometimes when she couldn't sleep at night, she would think of her elder sister and Yuehe Village.

But it's too long, it's been too long, it's been ten years, she was busy learning how to please the second lady, but she forgot how kind her elder sister was to her, and she didn't take the initiative to visit her in Linxi Village after returning to the village. It's time to fight.

Hearing her crying, Lu Daya hurriedly said, "It's my fault. I will bring bad luck wherever I go. Obviously today is your second sister's big day, so I shouldn't come here, and I've caused you trouble." Sad and sad. But, I just want to see you, now that I’ve finished watching, my wish is fulfilled, and it’s time to go home.”

"Second sister, I wish you a lifetime of peace and joy."

Lu Dongfu hurriedly tugged at her, and said, "Sister, don't go, I'm just too happy, I'm very happy that you can come to see me."

Seeing that she was serious about what she said, Lu Daya breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a youthful smile, "Don't cry, today is your good day, it won't look good if your eyes are clouded by crying."

Lu Dongfu let go of her, stared at her face intently, then lowered her head and stretched out her hand to hold the other's hand. The back of that hand was as rough as tree bark to the touch. Must not be having a great time.

She felt distressed, and said: "Sister, come in and sit down, tell me how you have been living in Peng's house all these years? Have they bullied you? If you can't live on, you can come to me, my embroidery job It’s amazing, and I’ll take it to the county and sell it for silver, and I can support you and your little nephew.”

Lu Daya couldn't help laughing, and said, "You're talking nonsense, the Peng family..."

She lowered her head, covered her eyes with messy forehead hair, and said: "My first daughter was born a few years ago, and my husband and mother-in-law were not happy, but after I gave birth to my son last year, my husband has treated me much better than before. , I believe it will get better and better in the future, you don't have to worry about me."

Lu Dongfu doesn't quite believe that if the Peng family treats the eldest sister well, the eldest sister will not grow up like this at a young age.

She wanted to ask again, but Mrs. Zhang broke into the door suddenly, and said carelessly, "Erya, the village head's wife specially invited Mrs. Quan Fu from the village to help you dress up."

Behind her is a woman in her 50s or [-]s. She has a round figure, fair cheeks and a rich appearance. She is blessed at first glance.

And the other party was being supported by Lu Sanya at the moment, and there were dots of smiles in the warm eyes, which made people feel like spring breeze.

Seeing Lu Daya sitting next to Lu Dongfu, Mrs. Zhang frowned and said displeasedly, "Why are you here? Did the Peng family get the news and allow you to come?"

Lu Daya stood up in panic, and stammered, "I, I just came to see, I, I'll leave right away."

Lu Dongfu said dissatisfiedly: "It's obviously human nature for the elder sister to come to see my younger sister get married. Why should the Peng family nod in agreement?"

It was the first time for Mrs. Zhang to be contradicted by her, and she was about to lose her temper. It was Lu Daya who stood between the two of them and said to Lu Dongfu: "I have been here for so long, and it is time to go back. Second sister, today I am very happy to see you get married. Your nephew is still young and cannot live without me as a mother. I am also worried about him. I will go back first. I hope you will forgive me for not being able to watch you get on the sedan chair .”

Lu Dongfu frowned, thinking that the little nephew was less than one year old and was born thin and weak, so she should really take care of him carefully, so she no longer forced Lu Daya to stay, and watched her leave.

On the other hand, Lu Sanya, who rarely saw the eldest sister, immediately followed her with her skirt up, as if she had something to say.

Mrs. Zhang's face was ugly, and she stared at Lu Dongfu with displeasure. It was Mrs. Quan Fu who spoke, which made the tense atmosphere harmonious again.

She walked forward, led Lu Dongfu to sit on the stool, and said to the bronze mirror, "Early this morning, there were magpies singing on the branches, and the weather was clear and cloudless. It's a good day to get married."

Lu Dongfu came to her senses, although she was worried about her eldest sister, but she couldn't leave today, she had to focus on her marriage seriously.

Mrs. Qian looked her up carefully, and said with emotion: "What a beautiful bride, that kid from the Qi family is lucky to be able to marry you back as a wife today."

Mrs. Zhang forced a smile, introduced Mrs. Quanfu to Lu Dongfu, and said, "This is Mrs. Qian, the famous Mrs. Quanfu of Yuehe Village. She married into the Lin family in the east of Yuehe Village decades ago. She is well organized, not only taking good care of her in-laws, but also being friendly to her neighbors, and her relationship with the brothers of the Lin family is also very harmonious. She gave birth to six sons and two daughters, all survived, and they are married and have children. There are more than a dozen juniors running around in the family, and every New Year's festival, the family can gather a large family, and they are truly blessed people."

"When the son-in-law came to propose marriage, he didn't invite the matchmaker to come forward, so the village head's wife specially invited Mrs. Quan Fu to come over and ask her to come over and mention many things about your upcoming wedding. Just follow her instructions and do it."

As she said that, she went to the kitchen to prepare tea. Qian smiled gently and said, "It's getting late, let me dress you up first."

She pulled up Lu Dongfu's combed long hair, the black hair was as obedient as a living thing in her hands, and in a blink of an eye, she made a delicate bun.

She picked out suitable hairpins from the dressing table. These hairpins were made by Lu Dongfu in the past few days with scraps of cloth. They come in various patterns and look novel and beautiful.

After combing her hair, Mrs. Qian cleaned her face and put on makeup. Her hands were miraculous, no less skilled than the nuns in Yuan Xue's foreign residence.

Lu Dongfu took the lip balm handed over by the other party, stained it with her little finger and wiped it on her lips, gently pursed her plump lips, and the makeup was completed.

She stared blankly at the woman with gorgeous makeup in the bronze mirror, unable to recover for a moment.

Qian groaned, and using the other end of the hairpin, stained with red rouge, dotted plum blossoms on the center of her eyebrows.

She smiled with satisfaction and said, "Miss Lu is naturally beautiful, as long as she dresses up a little, she will be glamorous. When the groom's official lifts her hijab tonight, she will definitely be overwhelmed by your appearance."

Lu Dongfu lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, allowing the other party to put the scarlet hijab on her head.

Mrs. Qian was not idle. Taking advantage of this time, she briefly talked about the upcoming wedding process. Although Lu Dongfu already knew about it, she still listened carefully at this moment, nodding her head from time to time, which made Mrs. Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Dao, the rumors are not credible, she is a well-behaved and sensible little girl.

Lu Dongfu just pursed her lips and chuckled, and sat and waited for a while, when there was a bustling noise outside, the sound of suona and firecrackers interspersed, drowning out the villagers' laughter and clamor.

Lu Dongfu raised her ears, and heard a child's joyful voice shouting: "The groom is here, and the groom is riding a big horse to pick up the bride."
