After the big fool gets married

A month passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when Wu Wenshou got married.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, everything will be auspicious and it is advisable to get married.

Liu Zhaodi changed into a wedding dress rented from the county, and caressed the gold bracelet on her wrist, which was given to her by her grandmother.

There was a whole set of pure gold jewelry in the bag her grandmother stuffed for her back then.

She still remembers that every New Year's Eve, her grandmother would turn out this set of jewelry and show off to their mother and daughter.The grandmother said that this set of jewelry will be passed on to the future granddaughter-in-law.If her mother can't give birth to a son, even if they are buried in a coffin, it will not be cheap for their mother and daughter.

But in the end, the grandmother gave her the jewelry.

Once she really thought that her grandmother hated her, wishing she didn't exist.However, at the juncture of life and death, grandmother still left the chance of life to her.

So, she didn't change the name Liu Zhaodi, so she just repaid the kindness.

-

The situation of Wu Wenshou's marriage and Wu Xuan's marriage is a bit similar, both marrying from the same village.Therefore, according to the usual practice, the wedding party should go out from the north of the village, bypass several villages in the north, and then go back.

It had already snowed twice and the weather was already very cold.

Wu Xuan couldn't bear to let Doudou suffer from the cold, so he didn't let him go to greet the relatives, but let him wait at Aunt Tian's house.

In the welcoming team, Wu Wenshou, the bridegroom official, drove an ox cart and walked at the forefront, and Wu Xuan led a large group of brothers from the same family behind.

They were all young and strong, and they walked fast. In less than an hour, the welcoming team returned to the village.

Mr. Wei has no relatives in the village, and Liu Zhaodi has no brothers or sisters, so the steps of blocking the door and asking for red envelopes are all saved.

Wu Wenshou expressed his loyalty to Boss Wei and his wife a few times, and he welcomed the bride out without a hitch.

The ox cart used to welcome the bride is the one that Wu Wenshou usually delivers tofu to. In order not to freeze the bride on the road during the wedding, he specially added a temporary roof to the ox cart and wrapped it with two thick layers of coarse cloth.

Everyone joked that Wu Wenshou knows how to love his wife, so he must be a good husband in the future.

Wu Wenshou let them say, just drive the ox cart happily.

When they arrived at Wu Wenshou's house, Aunt Tian and a group of women greeted them and led the two newcomers to worship.

After the worship, the table is set, and the banquet begins.

Wu Datian is a well-known chef in ten miles and eight towns, and people are willing to invite him to cook when they get married.This time when his own son gets married, he will definitely work hard to cook the dishes well.Everyone is looking forward to the wedding banquet dishes.

The most anticipated ones should be Wu Xuan and Doudou.

Why do you say that?Things start a month ago.That day, Wu Xuan was caught by Doudou for being mean in front of Yang Xiuzhu, and he punished himself by cooking dinner.But the meals he made were as usual half-baked and unpalatable.

But at that time, he did something wrong and was eager to show it. He swore on the spot that he would practice hard and learn how to cook as soon as possible, and make a perfect dinner for Doudou to make amends.

"A person doesn't know how to cook, but if he cooks a lot, he will naturally learn to cook." - Wu Xuan.

From then on, relying on his tenacious willpower and firm belief, Wu Xuan began his career of cooking dinner for more than a month.During this period, countless grains were wasted and countless kitchen utensils were damaged.But until last night, the porridge he cooked was still much worse than Doudou's!

Woohoo, what a pity!

And today, the two of them, whose stomachs have been suffering from toxins for more than a month, can finally have a decent meal with good taste and taste!

Naturally, I look forward to it very much!

-

The front yard is the men's banquet, and the banquet seats are seated according to the relationship between relatives. Wu Xuan Doudou, the third grandfather and uncle, and the father and son of the third uncle's family are at the same table.

After not seeing each other for several months, Wu Wenxiang gained a lot of weight again.But fortunately, his temper did not swell along with his body.Seeing Wu Xuan, he just snorted coldly and did not speak provocatively.

Wu Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to him and concentrated on eating.Discuss with Doudou from time to time why this dish is so delicious and how it is made.

The third grandfather heard him keep talking about cooking, coughed, and warned: "You must study diligently, and don't be disturbed by foreign objects."

Wu Xuan nodded while eating.

The third grandfather saw that he didn't understand, so he had to speak more bluntly, "The scientific examination is the most important thing, you should do your best to prepare for the county examination. As for the small things like cooking, just leave it to Doudou."

Wu Xuan raised his head, glanced at the third grandfather, and said, "Third grandfather, Doudou is preparing for the county exam like me. Moreover, his foundation is relatively poor, and he needs to concentrate on studying more than I do."

Seeing his serious expression, the third grandfather sighed and did not persuade him any more.

Wu Xuan put on a smiling face again, and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely pass the exam!"

He was able to write the entire book of the Four Books and Five Classics silently when he was in junior high school.After practicing calligraphy after high school, Lin's copybooks are not only classic calligraphy works, but also examination articles handed down from various dynasties.Not to mention a small county test, even if he was pulled in front of the emperor to take the palace test right now, he would not hesitate.

The third grandfather obviously didn't believe it.Wu Xuan has only been studying for less than three months, even if he is a genius, it is impossible to learn all the things that would take others decades to learn.He said solemnly: "A gentleman guards against arrogance and impetuosity, and being down-to-earth is the right way."

Wu Xuan nodded, "Thank you, Third Grandpa, for your teaching! Come on, eat a meatball, these meatballs are very good!"

The third grandfather looked at the big meatballs in the bowl, and thought to himself: Although Wu Xuan is not diligent enough and a little impetuous, he is still a filial and good boy by nature.He said: "When you encounter something you don't understand while studying, you can ask Wen Tao. He has studied for so many years, and his knowledge is still good."

Wu Xuan swallowed half of the ball in one breath, and said, "Well, when the academy is on holiday, I'll go to him for advice."

Zhiyuan Academy has annual holidays on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and does not start school until the fifteenth of the first lunar month.He just happened to go to Wu Wentao to inquire about the specific details and precautions of the county examination.After all, the exam is not just about knowledge.

Seeing that Wu Xuan listened to the persuasion, Third Grandpa nodded in satisfaction.Turning to Wu Wenxiang again: "Boy Xiang, have you reviewed your books recently, and how sure are you in the county exam?"

Wu Wenxiang, who was engrossed in eating hard, did not expect that the topic would suddenly turn to him.He swallowed the elbow in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and said, "Third Grandpa, I read every day."

Wu Sancheng, who was next to him, also spoke for his son: "Wen Xiang has been staying at home for the past few months and studying hard. In the coming year, he will definitely be able to take the examination of a scholar to give you the face of your parents!"

The third grandpa laughed loudly: "Okay, take the exam for a scholar! All three boys will give me hope, and they will all come back next year to take the exam for a scholar!" Although the third grandpa didn't believe that all three grandchildren could be admitted as a scholar, this did not hinder him. Enjoy the family happiness at this time.

Only Wu Wentao, the third grandfather, has real confidence.Wu Wentao has a good brain since he was a child, and he has been studying in a school in the county for more than two years. He is the most likely to be admitted to the scholar.Even if you can't pass the exam as a scholar, you will definitely be fine if you pass the Tongsheng exam.

As for Wu Wenxiang, he couldn't even pass the exams in the schools in the city, and it was impossible to expect him to be a scholar.

There is also Wu Xuan, who has only been studying for more than two months, and helps with farm work every day, and recently studied cooking.Hey, the third grandfather shook his head, probably not much better than Wu Wenxiang.

The wedding feast went smoothly.

When Wu Xuan looked at Mrs. and Mrs. Xue helping Mrs. Wu to go out together, he whispered to Doudou: "I didn't expect today to be so smooth, I thought someone would make trouble!"

Doudou squinted at him, "It's not bad if you're fine, don't be crowed."

"I don't have a crow mouth." Wu Xuan retorted.

The two entered the house noisily.

-

Early the next morning, Wu Xuan made an appointment with Wu Bei's ox cart to go shopping in the county.

Doudou was at home alone and practiced calligraphy all morning.

Just after lunch, an uninvited guest came to the door.

Wu Cuifen was sitting in the main room of Wu Xuan's family, her eyes were rolling around, as if she wanted to put all the furniture in the house into her eyes and take them away.

Doudou took a sip of tea and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Wu Cuifen smiled and said, "Look at what you said, so I can't visit relatives?"

"Then you have already been here, you can go." Doudou picked up the tea bowl.

"Don't be in a hurry to chase people away. I just came here, and the chairs are not warm! I came to see you because there was a happy event at home." Wu Cuifen said, "Your brother fell in love with a girl, and she was willing to marry a few years ago. come over."

"Oh?" Doudou took another sip of tea.

"But the other party's family wants 50 taels of silver as a dowry. I have only saved 20 taels in these years of frugality, and I want to borrow the other 30 taels from you." Wu Cuifen continued.

It is said to be borrowed, but in fact it will not be repaid at all.Doudou said: "I have no money."

"Your jade pendant has been sold for so much money, how could you have no money?" Wu Cuifen didn't believe it at all.

"It's all over." Doudou said calmly.

"You lied to ghosts!" Wu Cuifen pointed to the white porcelain tea set on the table, with delicate gold-edging patterns on it, "This tea set costs at least a dozen taels of silver! If you can afford such an expensive tea set, tell me No money?"

"It's because I bought such an expensive tea set that I ran out of money." Doudou Mian said nonsense without changing his expression.

"Yu Doudou, don't go too far!" Wu Cuifen stood up from the chair, "Yaozu is your own younger brother, and he is the only son of your father. The entire Yu family is counting on him to carry on the family line!"

Doudou was laughed angrily by her: "My father is only his son, so what am I?"

"You have married into the Wu family, so you are a member of the Wu family. What's more, you can't have children. The Yu family still has to rely on your younger brother to carry on the family line. Only your younger brother's children are the children of the Yu family." Wu Cuifen emphasized the last sentence talk.

"You've said it all, I'm from the Wu family. So what does it matter to me if there are any children in the Yu family?" No matter how excited Wu Cuifen was, Doudou still sat on the chair calmly.

"Yu Doudou, Yaozu is your own younger brother, you are so cold-blooded towards your closest relatives! What a waste!" Wu Cuifen completely lost the good temper she pretended to borrow money at the beginning, and began to swear.

Doudou slightly evoked a smile, completely indifferent to Wu Cuifen's accusation.

"Yu Doudou, you are a boy who is mean and caring like a woman. Just because of some grievances in the early years, you don't even care about your own brother!"

Wu Cuifen pointed to the things in the room and said, "You use such good furniture and drink such good tea, but your brother can't even marry a wife!"

"Yu Doudou, you are so selfish and cold, no wonder you can't leave a family behind. Wu Xuan will despise you one day at the latest!"

"Bang—" the tea bowl was slammed down on the table, and Doudou finally showed anger on his face, "Wu Xuan will always be with me!"
