The village has lasted for more than hundreds of years, and the procedures for getting married have already established a fixed model. It is nothing more than accepting the dowry after the consent of both parents, and then going to the government to register the name card after a big banquet.

Tossing and tossing is just old-fashioned, not very new. In the eyes of the villagers who have always liked to watch the excitement, it is more interesting to see who has more betrothal gifts and who has arranged for them.

In Xu country, the dowry requirements for women and younger brothers are not high. Most people look at the dowry gift given by the man, and the amount of dowry given by the man is also the capital for comparison between the younger brother and the women after marriage.

Xu Zhengrong's creed in life is to treat his wife well. Since he has decided that Ah Shui is the one who will accompany him through the rest of his life, he will naturally do as the Romans do and put a lot of effort into dowry.

Coupled with Xu Yao's supervision, in addition to the whole grains, poultry fabrics, and dried fruit snacks with unique local characteristics that are often used by the villagers, Xu Zhengrong specially created a pair in the jewelry shop in the old street. Silver hairpins and delicate and small rings.

On the back of the ring, the names of the two people and a small heart with a modern charm are engraved quite deliberately.

The ready-made clothes are all cut out by Xu Yao herself. Her workmanship is excellent. Even the pair of mandarin ducks sleeping in red silk are embroidered with golden borders to make them look more lovely delicate.

Xu Zhengrong didn't intend to use the objects stored in the space at first, but these scattered things are always a big deal when they are all put together. It would be too shabby to just rely on setting up a stall and the original silver taels.

Therefore, he insisted on pulling out the ginseng doll that Meizizi was sleeping in the field with a dagger, ignoring the howling and cursing of the ginseng doll with snot and tears, cut a few thick roots from him, and put them in the medicine shop. The boss exchanged a lot of silver there.

And secretly exchanged the fine wine and tea from the space, which was already quite a heavy betrothal gift in the countryside of Xu country.

Nanny leaned on her crutches to watch the boxes being moved into the main room one after another, and packed the small main room to the brim. Although she didn't say anything, she was satisfied in her heart.

She is not greedy for such a little money, but seeing Xu Zhengrong's seriousness, she presumably won't suffer too much when Ah Shui marries into Xu's family in the future.

Ah Hua was kicked by Ah Shui and sneaked out to peek, wagging her fluffy tail happily and ran to Xu Zhengrong's feet, wandering back and forth, and Xu Zhengrong fled back to the room happily because of the bone. .

As soon as he saw the big yellow dog coming in, Ah Shui couldn't wait to go up to him, rubbed Ah Hua's chin, and asked softly, "How is it? When will Brother Xu come in to see me?"

"Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

"...What do you mean?!"

"Woof, woof, woof, woof!!!" Ah Hua yelled several more times, rolled her eyes silently, turned her back and pointed her butt at Ah Shui: You didn't understand what I said, and you came to ask me about bullying single dogs, Are there any dog ​​rights?

The door was knocked at this time, Ah Shui was startled, he quickly let go of the big yellow dog, and moved forward to open the door, but it was a pity that standing outside the door was not Xu Zhengrong whom he was looking forward to, but the old mother ma.

The old mother warned him righteously: "That kid Xu Zhengrong is still blocking you in the main room, I can tell you, the couple are not allowed to meet until they get married, so you just stay here honestly, and I will tell you later Let others bring in some food, don't break the rules!"

Ah Shui's gleaming eyes dimmed suddenly, he let out a sigh of frustration, closed the door with his head downcast, and continued to sit back to his original place to roll with Ah Hua.

The villagers were so lively that they all crowded in front of the yard and stretched their necks to look in. Before, they saw box after box of gift boxes moving in from the car outside the house. , one by one got together and discussed.

Some envied Ah Shui for finding a good family, some envied Xu Zhengrong for getting rich, and even a few women stood aside with jealousy, thinking that Ah Shui was not worthy of such a generous dowry.

What's more, he stood directly in the middle of the yard and said sarcastic remarks unscrupulously: "It's just a little brother, you can find it all over the street, how can you stand this! The Xu family's youngest son is not sensible, how can this Xu family brother Then you don't understand anymore!"

Xu Zhengrong's ears were sharp, and when he heard this, his eyes that were still smiling instantly turned cold, and he looked straight at the past, looking at the slightly fat woman with a chill in his heart.

Xu Zhengrong recognized this woman. Her husband's surname was Jin, and people called her the Jin family. She liked to gossip about people behind her back, and she didn't get along well with Xu Yao's family. Her family had a brother who seemed to be called Jin Yan. Yes, she is almost [-] years old, and she has not been able to get married so far. It must be for this reason that the Jin family can speak such ugly words in public.

Xu Zhengrong doesn't care what her reason is, today is a day of great joy, and it cannot be spoiled by a petty woman. He was about to stand up and speak. Brother was one step ahead of him, stood over with a cold face, folded his hands and hummed: "Sister-in-law Jin, what you said is wrong, so what about my little brother? Isn't your family raising a little brother? What's more, my family Yaodi regards Ah Shui as the treasure in his palm, so don't talk nonsense, my brother doesn't do things lightly or seriously, he doesn't know the world, if he beats you out, it will end badly."

Mrs. Jin was choked by his words, and took a step back embarrassingly. She had heard of Xu Zhengrong's actions, and she understood Xu Zhengrong's temper, so she didn't dare to provoke this moody rascal. , mumbling something vaguely with his mouth curled up, but he couldn't make waves anymore.

Xu Zhengrong was also unwilling to entangle with her to delay the time. After counting the betrothal gifts, he couldn't wait to go to Ah Shui's house, but was caught by the waiting mother.

The old nanny asked with a straight face, "What are you going to do?"

Xu Zhengrong heyed twice in embarrassment: "I want to see my little brother first, but I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm panicking."

He was used to talking in front of his little brother, and he couldn't change it for a while. What he said sounded frivolous to the old mother. She frowned even more, and rattled the crutch she was holding on to: "Again I hold back thinking about it! How can a couple meet before they are married? This is against the rules, and it is easy to collide. You should go back quickly, lest outsiders see it and gossip!"

Xu Zhengrong didn't dare to offend the old nanny, so he turned back disgruntled, and was laughed at by Xu Zhengcai and Xu Zhengyang.

A smile was added to Xu Zhengyang's tense face, and he joked cheerfully: "Third brother, you are too impatient, be careful not to scare my little brother!"

Xu Zhengrong touched his nose, but he was a little surprised by the performance of the second brother today. This brother, who has always been a transparent person, came here today to help scare off the chattering woman, and he took the initiative to tease Xu Zhengrong. She was quite frightened: "Second brother is completely different today, isn't it possible that something good is coming soon?"

He was just talking casually, and he never expected that Xu Zhengyang, who was calm just now, actually turned a little red.

"Fuck!"

This time Xu Zhengrong was so shocked that he even burst out with foul language: "Is it true? Is it a girl or a brother? Whose family? Do I know it?"

Now Xu Zhengyang's neck was completely red, and he only pushed the gossip-faced Xu Zhengrong away, ambiguously saying, "It's from another village, you don't know him!"

Curious eyes fell on Xu Zhengcai, Xu Zhengcai waved his hands again and again, as if he had nothing to do with me.

Well, Xu Zhengrong made a note in his heart: the second brother is also out of order, and his love partner is unknown.

However, the power of falling in love is too strong, how could a good second brother suddenly become so active!

……

Now that the dowry has been paid, the marriage of the two is considered to be on the agenda. Brother Xu and the old mother are both in charge of the overall situation, discussing together, and finally finalized the date after the autumn harvest, an auspicious day.

Xu Zhengrong was quite happy at first, but later he was told by the old mother and his elder brother that he was not allowed to meet with his younger brother during this period, so he was stupefied, with a stern face and a sullen look.

Although it is after the autumn harvest, the date is not too far away, and they will be able to get married in the middle of next month.

Xu Zhengrong counted with his fingers, and sighed sadly: "It will be another half a month! I can't see Ah Shui for more than ten days, isn't this torture!"

It's a pity that no matter how much he complained, the rules are the rules, and Xu Zhengyang is gearing up even more, saying that he will supervise with Kidou'er.

Qingxi Township is not very big, and the people in the township are all familiar faces. Generally speaking, when a family holds a wedding event, it invites the whole village to eat. After all, there are more people and it is more lively .

But Xu Zhengrong had other thoughts in his mind. He had a very bad feeling towards the elders and head of the village. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he invited these people who didn't like him horizontally or vertically to his banquet?

There are also those few who always talk behind their backs on weekdays, pointing and saying that Ah Shui is not good here, and that is not good there. Why invite such people over?

He shared his thoughts with his elder brother and the old nanny. The elder brother of the Xu family originally cared about the relationship with the neighbors and advised Xu Zhengrong not to tear his face because of such a trivial matter, but the old nanny's thoughts were much more transparent.

She is on Xu Zhengrong's side: "I think Zhengrong's words are true, why invite those people who don't like you here, and delay our good mood in vain, if you want me to say, don't invite Forget it."

That's not enough, and he added a sharp knife: "Also, Zhengrong, I heard that your wine business is to cooperate with the villagers. Don't cooperate! Get used to him!"
