Zhao Chen got Aji's Geng Tie, held it in his hand and read it for two quarters of an hour before pretending to order someone to send it to the temple to invite the monk Bu Cai.

Of course the result is great luck.

The two families have combined their horoscopes, and Zhao Chen went to discuss with Lin Xian, hoping to choose a day before the Mid-Autumn Festival and send a letter of appointment to formally sign a marriage contract.

Lin Xianwei agreed after pondering. After all, the eldest daughter was taken advantage of by someone, so it would be safe to set up early. As for the wedding date, it would be fine to get married next year. When the Zhao family sends the auspicious day, he will choose a slightly later one and leave it for a few more days.

After reading the almanac, the father-in-law and son-in-law set the date of writing on August 12th.

On a good day for my niece, Xiao Liu came to the Lin family one day in advance to help Liu prepare for tomorrow's banquet. But when he got out of the car and walked in, he suddenly remembered the situation when his niece had a Wending with the Meng family last year, and he couldn't help feeling a little.

Xiao Liu pulled Liu to the fence and whispered under the guise of looking at deer: "How are Aji doing these days? Have you figured it out?" Youyou was sipping inside the fence. After eating for a while, she turned her head to look at them. Her big eyes were watery, which made Xiao Liu almost distracted.

When it comes to this, Liu is worried. It is not good to have a child who is too sensible. He keeps everything in his heart and doesn't say it easily, making her unable to find a reason to comfort her. Fortunately, Aji was not too happy but did not feel sad about the spring and autumn. It seems that she is not particularly disgusted with this marriage.

She told her sister this way, and Xiao Liu said, "Well, Aji is still young, and it's nothing to let go in a short time. As long as Mr. Zhao is kind to her, the couple will get along day and night after marriage, Aji will soon forget the mess before." The eldest niece is the softest and easy to coax. As for Mr. Zhao's appearance, I'm afraid that the sister-in-law in the nunnery will be moved when she sees him. He really wants to live with Aji, and Aji can resist it? She is a veteran and knows a lot. People say that men love beauty, but women are the same. If they look good, they are popular.

Liu nodded and agreed. The new son-in-law was born in a beautiful and elegant style, with a good family background and good character. Not to mention the girls in the village, when she was young, if there was such a person coming to Lin Xian to propose marriage, Liu would not be sure that he would choose his current husband...

Leaving these random thoughts, Liu likes her new son-in-law very much. As a mother, she has to think more about her daughter's wishes. Now, Aji retired from the marriage before, although most villagers knew that the Meng family was wrong, there were a few daughter-in-laws who were not very good at dealing with her family and always laughed at Aji. Liu knew it well, so she was determined to choose a better son-in-law for her eldest daughter, and blocked those people's stinky mouths. Now, the new son-in-law is better than Meng Zhongjing everywhere, and Liu can even imagine those jealous faces.

At night, the four of them lived in the same room, chatting and laughing, and finally, Liu's power made the little Liu's Lin Zhu shut up.

I woke up the next day, and the sky was clear and the autumn air was clear.

The marriage is not as good as the gift, but the woman's house is also a little lively, so she invites relatives and friends to come and see her new son-in-law.

Not to mention the Zhao family, Aju also needs to dress up.

The clothes prepared by Xiao Liu personally for her niece were made of a big red double-breasted shirt, a collar cuff embroidered with gold thread, a pleated skirt of the same color, and a pair of big red satin embroidered shoes underneath, which were not as grand and luxurious as wedding dresses, but also very festive. Pressing Aju in front of the dressing mirror, Xiao Liu personally combed her hair, put a red gold butterfly hairpin on her bun, and wearing a pair of pearl earrings on her ears. She cleaned up and looked down. The girl's eyes were as bright as water, and her lips were red without any touch, which was really more beautiful than the autumn lotus.

Xiao Liu was very satisfied and turned to her niece with a smile: "Come on, Aji looks in the mirror by herself to see how her aunt's craftsmanship is?"

Aji finally looked up.

In the mirror, her eyebrows and eyes grew wider than last year, but her eyes were only calm, not ashamed and happy as last year. Aji clearly remembered that at that time, as long as someone else mentioned the word Meng, she couldn't help but feel ashamed. She could only blush and bow her head. When the guests left the house and left herself in the house, she would cover her face and secretly rejoice.

Is this the difference between marrying a lover and a stranger?

However, even if she didn't marry Zhao Chen, she would marry another strange man. Thinking of this, the sadness and regret dispersed again.

"Auntie is the best." She stood up and thanked Xiao Liu, and smiled. Her mother and aunt were worried that she would feel unhappy, so she reassured them.

Her smile was like a lotus flower blooming.

Xiao Liu was lost in his mind, his niece was so beautiful, Meng Zhongjing was really blind, Mr. Zhao... he knew the pearl with wise eyes.

Lin Chongjiu was sitting on the edge of the kang, but immediately ran over to see this, raising his head and praised, "Sister, you are so beautiful today!" Among everyone he has seen, the elder sister is the most beautiful, and only Brother Zhao is the most suitable for her in terms of appearance. In the past, the elder sister didn't like Brother Zhao, Lin Chongjiu was a little disappointed. Now, the two have been married. Brother Zhao likes Sister Zhao so much, he will definitely treat her well.

Aji smiled and touched his brother's head, "Xiaojiu goes out to play, I don't have to study today."

Lin Chongjiu ran out happily and almost ran into Lin Zhu who was carrying the curtain. Lin Zhu was so angry that he scolded him. Xiao Liu smiled and pushed the person into the room, "Today is a good day. You brothers and sisters are not allowed to quarrel. Go to the house to see your elder sister!"

Lin Zhu snorted, turned around and turned around. Seeing the elder sister dressed up, she felt her eyes lit up. She ran over and hugged the elder sister's arm and acted coquettishly: "My eldest sister is too partial. She gave birth to you so well, but I am a crooked person!"

Aji straightened the person and looked at his sister seriously: "See it, is his nose or his eyes?"

Lin Zhu immediately smiled like a lark, and his eyes suddenly became a little sore as he smiled. He hugged the elder sister and whispered: "Sister, I can't bear to leave you when I think you're about to get married, but I'm really happy that you can marry Brother Zhao. I don't understand the kind of love you said. I just want you to live a good life and don't have to be as troubled as my mother takes care of us. I have to do everything by myself."

Aji couldn't bear to part with her sister, so she hugged her shoulders dotingly: "I know, but Azhu, you have to change it. When I get married, you have to help your mother with more work. Take care of Xiaojiu and don't let him be naughty. You have to practice the girl-red yourself..."

The morning light filled the window screen, and the two sisters leaned together affectionately, whispering softly.

The sun was getting higher and the female family had already made an appointment to come over. After entering the house, I saw Aji as beautiful as a flower, and I couldn't help but praise him in unison.

At this time, Zhao Chen and his group also arrived at the entrance of the village.

Logically speaking, today is just a small decision, and the Zhao family doesn't need to bring too much politeness. However, Zhao Chen rode a horse in front, followed by sixteen servants, two people carrying three animals, tea cakes, silk, satin and jewelry, and other items. They came in in a mighty manner. Generally, the betrothal gifts of the villagers are not as good as him, which naturally attracted many villagers to run to the street to watch the fun.

In the past, Zhao Chen disdained to look at these people. Today he was happy, and his phoenix eyes smiled and swept across the villagers on both sides, humble and polite. The men who were swept by his eyes were okay, but the young wives and girls couldn't help but blush. They always felt that the other person's eyes had a deep meaning, and they could not help but lower their heads shyly. After a while, they looked up to confirm that they had already walked a distance on their horses...

Both rich and beautiful, Zhao Chen has undoubtedly become the best son-in-law in the village in recent years. The villagers talked about it with relish. Amid the noise, a voice suddenly came: "Where is your elder brother Zhongda? Didn't he always feel sorry for the Lin family? Call him over to see the new son-in-law of the Lin family. After seeing it, he doesn't have to feel guilty. The son-in-law he chose this time is a good choice!"

At first glance, it seems to be kind-hearted. Who can't understand the irony of the insider?

Meng Zhongda glared at the man fiercely, turned around and strode home. His eldest brother regretted the marriage, and Meng Zhongda was very unhappy. He originally planned to marry Lin Zhu in a few years, but now it is better. The two families have broken their gratitude and will be impossible to implicate him and Lin Zhu.

He entered the yard with a calm face, where Meng Zhongjing was chopping wood, rolling his sleeves above his elbow, and his muscles were tightened with an axe.

Meng Zhongda looked at his face and couldn't help but say, "Brother, Mr. Zhao and Aju are young today, do you know?"

Meng Zhongjing nodded, smashed the axe in his hand hard, and the firewood was cut in half. He continued to set up one without pause and swung the axe again.

He knew that he had known for a long time that Aji would marry that person. He just couldn't understand why she was so thin since she had given that person a purse. That time, her aunt took her home, and he happened to come back from the field and saw her get out of the car. She went straight into the house and didn't see him, but he could see clearly that she was thin, which made him feel distressed.

She must have his heart. He retired from the bride first and married someone else first. She is still sad, right?

Aji's thin side face appeared in front of her eyes, her tears looked like she was crying, and his chest hurt.

"The second brother is back. It just so happened that I just made a set of autumn shirts for you two brothers. I'll ask your elder brother to give it to you later. Tell your sister-in-law what's wrong and I'll change it." When the two brothers were silent, Ru Niang walked out of the door of the new house and said with a smile.

Meng Zhongda's face changed and he said thanked: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law." He didn't like this sister-in-law at first, but after she got married, she worked hard, washed clothes and cooked, and used her own money to supplement the family income. Meng Zhongda couldn't find out her fault, and could not be cold-faced. After thanking him, he raised his foot into the old house.

There was a noise on the street. Ru Niang stood at the door and listened, slowly walked to Meng Zhongjing. The man sweated on his forehead. Ru Niang took out a handkerchief to wipe him, her eyes as gentle as water. Meng Zhongjing stared at the little woman in front of her, thinking of her wholeheartedness toward her, and thinking of her gentle acceptance over the past few nights, the unwillingness in her heart gradually sank.

That's it. He had a gentle and considerate wife. She married a man who deserved her and lived his own lives.

Meng Zhongjing smiled at his wife, put down his axe, and went to the house with her to try out clothes.

The Lin family, the new son-in-law, has to be given a comment for the first time. Lin Xian and his wife led Zhao Chen to introduce him one by one. This one called the second uncle and the third aunt, Zhao Chen smiled and said hello, which made people feel like spring breeze.

For lunch, the Liu sisters entertained the female family in the west room, and Lin Xian accompanied the male guests to drink in the east room.

Zhao Chen and Lin Xian sat side by side in the east. Whenever someone was in and out of the west room opposite, he would glance over there inadvertently. Unfortunately, the women were sitting on the kang for food. She should be sitting inside, but he couldn't see it.

Even though he knew that she could not give him a chance, he still couldn't help but look over.

After another disappointment, someone happened to toast. Zhao Chen smiled and raised his glass and tilted his head down. He was so greedy that he felt very satisfied that he would hug her to sleep every night, hoping to see her every day, just like before the marriage was settled, he wanted to settle it quickly, but now he wanted to marry her home again. Unfortunately, his father had not set a definite day yet, so he could only finish other etiquettes first.

After the ceremonies were dispersed, the guests dispersed one after another, and Zhao Chen was still pretending to be drunk and was helped by Lin Xian to rest on the kang in the west room.

Unlike last time, Zhao Chen really slept for a short time this time and felt a little drowsy when he woke up.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and habitually called out: "Water."

"Brother Zhao, you're awake." Lin Chongjiu sat aside and solved the Jiulian he sent. When he heard the movement, he immediately went downstairs to pour water for him.

Zhao Chen was completely awake.

Sitting up, taking the tea poured by Lin Chongjiu, and then watching his brother-in-law put the teacup back on the table, Zhao Chen was in a good mood and waved to the kang. He stretched his legs against the wall, Lin Chongjiu imitated him, looked at the legs of the two, and said enviously: "Brother Zhao, your legs are so long!"

"Xiaojiu will be as long as I grow up." The boy was innocent. Zhao Chen touched his head and asked in a low voice: "Are your elder sister happy these days?"

Lin Chongjiu thought about it seriously and said to the truth: "I am not unhappy or very happy. It's similar to before, but today my elder sister looks very beautiful. She is wearing a red dress and a butterfly hairpin on her head, like a fairy."

Zhao Chen hadn't seen his fiancée wearing red clothes yet. He was about to ask how beautiful it looked, but someone suddenly picked up the curtain next to him, but Lin Xian walked in. Turning around, seeing one big and one small sitting side by side, Lin Xian was a little surprised and asked with concern: "Is Chengyuan still feeling uncomfortable when he wakes up?"

"Uncle Lau is so worried that he is much better. Just wash his face in a while." Zhao Chen immediately put on his shoes and went down to the floor.

Lin Chongjiu went to the kitchen to prepare a wash water. The father-in-law and son-in-law sat down to chat. Zhao Chen asked: "Uncle, should you collect peanuts these days?"

Lin Xian smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, it's the end of the month. By the way, Chengyuan, have you planted peanuts in your village? If you don't plant them, take some back to try them. My uncle's family has grown a lot and can't finish them."

Zhao Chen thanked repeatedly and said, "Xiaojiu is still young and can't help much. It just so happened that I have time at the end of the month, so I'll collect it with you."

Lin Xian was flattered: "No, no, you can do that kind of work. I just ask someone for help, it won't cost much money."

"Are my uncle afraid that I will do anything clumsy?" Zhao Chen joked with a smile, "Uncle, please let me come over. Everyone says that a son-in-law is half a son. Before Xiaojiu grew up, Chengyuan would help you with these tasks."

He was sincere, and Lin Xian had to respond, and the smile on his face could not stop. The son-in-law had this kind of heart, which made him feel more comfortable than how many gifts he gave.

The father-in-law and son-in-law agreed on a specific date. Zhao Chen washed his face, cleaned up and said goodbye.

Watching him turn, the couple entered the yard. Liu closed the door and went to the west wing to call his eldest daughter: "Aji, go, go with your mother to see the gifts sent by the Zhao family."

Aji didn't want to go, but her mother was interested, so she was willing to make her happy. Lin Zhu naturally had to join in the fun of this matter. The three of them went to the room side by side. Lin Xian was already waiting there, and Lin Chongjiu was grinning and unpacking the red silk on the box. The children may not care whether the gifts inside were expensive, but they were more excited to enjoy the excitement of unpacking the gifts.

In addition to food such as tea cakes and fruits, there is also a box of jewelry, two boxes of satin, and two boxes of fur.

After roughly seeing it, Lin Xian took Lin Chongjiu out and left the mother and the other two to taste it. They were all things that women like.

Mrs. Liu had a gift list in her hand, and thought it for her two daughters one by one. Finally, she carefully held up a big red satin and said to her eldest daughter, "Aji, this is Shu Jin. The matchmaker said that Mrs. Zhao specially chose two, one for Chengyuan to make a wedding robe, and the other for you to make a wedding dress. We don't want the wedding dress before, and you can make another one?"

On the day of marriage, the bride and groom stood together for the wedding. If the fabrics were too different on their bodies, it would be so funny. I had been engaged to Meng Zhongjing before, and I was worried that I didn’t have much spare money when I got to the Meng family. The eldest daughter quit the good satin given by my aunt and only used muslin as wedding dresses. If she could use it directly to marry someone else, she would definitely not be able to marry into the Zhao family.

Aji was stunned.

She really didn't think so much.

Wedding dress...

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the Shu brocade in front of her, as cool as water and as red as fire. When she looked at it, she was another wedding dress in her mind, which was her figure sitting in front of the window, stitching at the ground, and stitching at the same time was joy.

"Aji..." Seeing that she was in a daze, Liu called out a little uneasy.

Aji came back to his senses, closed his eyes and smiled, "Well, as my mother said, I'll make another one. Mom, please continue to watch, I'll take it back and compare the measurements first. This material is too expensive, I have to be careful, and it will be gone if it is broken." After that, he picked up the Shu brocade and left.

Walking out of the upper room, the sunlight fell on the Shu brocade in my arms, and the light was filled with brilliance, shaking her eyes.

It was late at night and everyone was quiet. Aju burned the original wedding dress, burning it all, burning all the past. The next day, she threaded the needle again and sewed her second wedding dress, just like sewing an ordinary dress. She embroidered her well, and although the wedding dress was cumbersome, it only took five or six days. After all, she was not as concerned as before. Every time she got a needle, she had to think about it, for fear of accidentally sewing a thread...

During the Mid-Autumn Festival gift, Zhao Chen also gave her the "Molan Tu" from everyone in the previous dynasty, with a note attached.

If you don’t see each other for a day, it’s like three autumns apart.
To be continued...
