Chapter 218 The Big Wedding
"Xiaolang, forget it! Gold jewelry is too eye-catching!" Looking at the jewelry in Jiang Youzhen's hand, the glittering gold was too dazzling.
"Oh my! Erya is so lucky that Xiaolang is willing to spend money on her and buy her such expensive jewelry. Today is your big day, how can you be so ostentatious? If you don't wear it today, when will you wear it? Wear it, wear it all, and blind their dog eyes."
When the matchmaker saw the jewelry, she couldn't take her eyes off it. It was all golden, and it was inlaid with pearls and gems. How valuable must it be?
Looking at the second girl who was covered with a red veil and adorned with pearls and jade, Jiang Youzhen nodded with satisfaction.
"The auspicious time has arrived! The groom is here, quickly help the bride out."
Jiang Youzhen, who was walking behind the bride, looked at the slender girl walking slowly in front of him and suddenly understood the feelings of parents. It is hard to see your children grow up and get married.
She looked at the Shen couple sitting in the main room, and their eyes were red.
"The groom is coming!" There was a burst of firecrackers outside the door.
Jiang Youzhen saw Zhao Wei walking towards him quickly and energetically. He was tall and looked quite graceful in his bright red wedding suit.
As expected, when good things happen, people feel refreshed! No one slept last night, and Zhao Wei looked quite energetic.
Next, the couple offered tea and bid farewell to their parents, covered with a red veil. Jiang Youzhen didn’t know whether Erya cried or not, but he thought she must be reluctant to leave.
"Oh my! The rich family is really rich, so much dowry? It must be eight loads, right? Where have we, the peasant family, ever seen so much dowry?"
Today all the villagers came to the Jiang family for a banquet. The eight loads of dowry were placed in the yard, tied with red silk, and were very eye-catching.
"Isn't it? There are also big items! I heard from my daughter Ni'er that there are still a lot of materials and jewelry in it. I don't know how the Fugui family became so rich. Isn't it richer than Master Wang in our village?"
"You still think that Master Wang is richer than Fugui? Fugui bought a hundred acres of land alone, and gave his daughter twenty acres of land as a dowry. How could Master Wang be willing to give so much as a dowry? Fugui, are you different from us?"
Everyone sighed. A few months ago, they were still as poor as before. Jiang Fugui was even poorer than them. But a few months later, Fugui suddenly became richer than Mr. Wang in the village. How unpredictable things are!
Originally, everyone was poor, and they didn't feel anything. But when they saw Fugui, who was poorer than them before, suddenly became rich overnight, they couldn't help but feel unhappy.
"Thank you all for coming here today. Everyone enjoy the feast later. We don't accept gifts, we just want to have fun. It's a pleasure to marry off our daughter!" Jiang Fugui's voice was a little choked up. When everyone heard that they didn't want gifts, they all smiled.
"Fugui! You are really nice."
"Yes! You deserve to be rich and wealthy! Rich and noble!" Some people ate and drank for free, and everyone finally felt a little better.
Jiang Youzhen and her two sisters were going to the man's house for a banquet and were going to follow the wedding procession.
"The auspicious time has arrived! Let's go!"
The Shen couple stood at the door, watching the wedding procession spread out. In the front sat the groom on a tall horse, followed by a sedan chair carried by four people, then a load of dowry, and finally the bride's family.
The Jiang family drove a carriage behind them. Inside the carriage, Jiang Youzhen saw that both of her sisters were silent and looked very sad, so she couldn't help but sigh.
You've already started to miss your second sister before you even get married, right? The three sisters have been together much longer than you and your second sister. Perhaps they are still worried about their future husbands, and confused about their own future.
Although Zhao Wei could no longer afford to build a brick and tile house, the roof had been covered with bricks and tiles and the walls had been renovated, so it at least looked presentable.
Although Jiang Youzhen was not very satisfied, Zhao Wei had done his best. After a few days, the two of them would move to the town, and this house would no longer be needed.
Everything went smoothly at the wedding. Although Zhao Wei had lost his parents, he invited the respected elders of the Wang family to preside over the wedding. It can be seen that Zhao Wei was sincere and well prepared.
The banquet here is very rich, not only including pheasant, hare and pork, but also steamed buns made of three-grain flour to fill you up.
These were not rich for Jiang Youzhen, but for the villagers, they were rare delicacies. Because Jiang Youzhen was the brother-in-law, and she had red lips and white teeth, and was dressed richly, the younger generation of the Wang family wanted to get her drunk.
"Everyone, don't force my brother-in-law to drink. Let me drink! I'll drink for him. My brother-in-law is young and can't hold his liquor. He's a scholar. Sorry! I'll drink for him."
"Zhao Wei, I've only heard of people helping the groom to block the drinking, but I've never heard of the groom helping his brother-in-law to block the drinking. Your brother-in-law is so precious! He doesn't drink at all?" There was someone who loved to stir up trouble, and when he saw Jiang Youzhen's look, he immediately wanted to tease him.
"Wang Er, today is my big day, please bear with me. I will call the brothers in the clan to get together some other day, and we brothers will have a good drink and chat."
Zhao Wei knew that he had married Erya. Not only in the village, but also in the clan, many people were envious. After all, who didn't know the Jiang family's current reputation?
"Zhao Wei is really lucky! His father-in-law is rich, and they built that big yard with a lot of bricks from us! Did you see the dowry of my daughter-in-law? It was carried by eight people, wow!"
The man's tone was sour, Jiang Youzhen turned around and saw that it was a man in his thirties. The envy and jealousy of this man were written on his face, and he looked sarcastic.
"Oh! Today is Zhao Wei's wedding day. Everyone, please eat more, talk less, and drink more." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, someone came out to smooth things over.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly lost his appetite. He ate two bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"I don't know what's going on at home. When I came out just now, I saw those people from the old house were here too. They have the nerve to come even though we've been in such a mess."
Si Ya suddenly came close to Jiang Youzhen's ear and mumbled something.
"It's about inviting the whole village. Now that they're here, it's a happy occasion, so it's not good to chase them away."
Jiang Youzhen also saw Jiang He and his family. This family is really shameless. Now the rumor in the village is that Jiang He sold Jiang Fugui's family in order to pay back the money for his boss.
This sale means severing the relationship.
"I don't know if anything strange will happen. My parents are soft-hearted and I'm afraid they will control me." Si Ya was very worried. Didn't she know her parents' personalities?
"Don't worry! The village head and clan leader are here, as are my grandparents! What are you afraid of? If they do something weird, even the villagers who are eating at the banquet won't agree."
Jiang Youzhen spoke with certainty, but she underestimated how thick-skinned these people were.
After returning from the banquet in Wangjia Village, Jiang Youzhen heard about the glorious deeds of this family and was speechless.
