After dressing as a widow

When Lin Zhen came out, Gu Lin was talking to Aunt Lin, and their eyes fell on the pearl hairband on his head in an instant. The hairband was gray, but the pearls on it were moist and white. Two more fell, shaking with the movement of walking.

Father Lin pulled Lin Zhen over: "Why do you suddenly want to dress yourself up?"

In the past, Lin Zhen loved to dress up, wearing rouge and powder and wearing bright-colored clothes. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most handsome brother in Liyu Village, but since Gu Da died, Lin Apa found that he no longer likes him. Those things are gone.

Either black, white, or grey.

In the morning and at night, I never apply this kind of ointment or that kind of ointment. Only when the weather is dry in winter, do I apply a little ointment to moisturize my face.

"Looks good," Aunt Lin touched Lin Zhen's headband, "You are still young, so you need to use something bright. Look, how beautiful it is now."

Of course, Father Lin thinks that his brother looks good even if he doesn't dress up, but if he dresses up a little, he will look amazing.

Gu Lin also looked at Lin Zhen from the side. The headband was chosen by herself, but now it is tied with Lin Zhen's hair.

He suddenly liked it, liked the marks he had left on Lin Zhen.

In a few days, Chen Xingdu congratulated the wedding banquet. Gu Lin also prepared a seal, which was also made of sapphire, and Lin Zhen also hung five taels of silver as a gift.

When I went to Wang Qin's house to hold a wedding banquet for him to be admitted as a scholar, Gu Lin's gift was still the same.

The three seals were all engraved by Gu Lin himself who bought jade in the town, and the engraved characters are also different, but people who are familiar with them can tell from the same handwriting by looking at the handwriting.

There was also good news about Lin Zhuzi's marriage. The girl's family had agreed to find someone for the Lin family to count on a good day, which would be on the second day of October.

Sister-in-law Lin was in high spirits every happy event, and she never let go of her smile. As soon as she learned that her natal family had agreed, she quickly told her family the good news, saying: "It's all over now, the natal family's side is finally relieved." I just want to trouble my father, father, and brothers and sisters-in-law, and ask you to follow Zhang Luo to use things."

Marriage is not as simple as lip service. The dowry to the bride's house needs to be arranged, someone to carry it, brothers and sisters who will be married, seven aunts and eight aunts, and a husband who presses the gift.

A wrong link will not only lose face to the Lin family, but also offend the in-laws.

Lin Zhuzi is the oldest junior in the Lin family, and Mrs. Lin has never been married, and she hasn't slept well since she got the news of her natal family.

Everyone in the Lin family was sitting together, and Father Lin said: "I think you have almost bought the betrothal gift that you are going to take that day, but the betrothal gift you promised at the beginning needs to be carefully tapped. If it is missing, it will be a joke."

"The gentleman who pressed the ceremony went to Uncle Wu. He can read and write. Many married girls and boys in our village are handled by him. So far, no mistakes have been made."

"As for the brothers and sisters who are going to marry..." Father Lin knows the customs in the village, two brothers and two sisters, if you choose a daughter, you will choose a daughter, and if you choose a brother, you will choose a brother.

Sisters are easy to handle, Chunxiang Xingxiang can do it.

As for the brothers, there are only two of the right age in the family, Lin Shitou and Gu Lin, both of whom are too young.

But Gu Lin is now a juren, so asking him to pick up his relatives might be a bit unkind.

Father Lin looked at Gu Lin: "Xiao Lin, why don't you go to pick up the bride for Zhuzi, it won't take long to go back and forth."

Mrs. Lin didn't expect that Father Lin would let Gu Lin go. Originally, she thought about the stones from her second brother's family and her own iron eggs.

It's not that he doesn't want Gu Lin to go, but that he doesn't dare bother him, what a shame it would be to ask someone to pick up the bride!

Aunt Lin looked at Father Lin and Gu Lin excitedly, waiting for the result.

Gu Lin nodded: "Yes."

Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she was so good, there was nothing better than this.

Father Lin just opened his mouth to try. Hearing that Gu Lin agreed so quickly, he felt that this child is really wonderful. He said to Mrs. Lin: "You know the rules in it. Brothers and sisters who receive relatives must have a new suit. Clothes, new shoes, and the size of Xiao Lin, you can go to Brother Zhen to get them later, and you must hurry to make the clothes."

"Father who knows, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Aunt Lin continued: "As for the other relatives, Zhuzi's uncle, Cheng's cousin, Cheng's cousin, and Xiaoyu's cousin Xiaohua will definitely come, and then the relatives from your mother's house, The second child in the family, Brother Xiu, and Brother Zhen."

"Then come the families who have fun in the village, Carpenter Ma's family, Uncle Ji's family, Aunt Zhang's family..."

Aunt Lin organized the marriage between elder brother Lin and Lin Zhen in the family, and he was very clear about the process inside. In the eyes of elder sister Lin, he didn't know how to do it, but he sorted it out in a few clicks.

Mrs. Lin held Apa Lin's hand affectionately: "It's lucky to have Apa, otherwise I don't know what to do."

Aunt Lin is good to everyone. Although Sister-in-law Lin was a little ambivalent because of Lin Zhuzi's affairs in the early years, she has a good heart. Zhuzi followed Carpenter Ma, and she felt more and more guilty towards Lin Zhen. As long as Lin Zhen came back this year, she was busy and never ambiguous.

So Father Lin treated her as always, patted her hand and said, "I'd rather slow down than rush into chaos. If you, the master, don't panic, neither will the people below."

"Yes, with Dad here, my heart is at peace."

Things began to be arranged in full swing. The room where Lin Zhuzi used to live was changed. The window grilles with happy characters were pasted, the white was scraped with lime, and the ground was refilled and compacted. While playing, it looked bright and clean. .

The original bed and cabinets were moved to the small room where the sundries were placed. The girl's family had already agreed to dowry the furniture, so these old ones were naturally no longer used.

On the wedding reception day, Gu Lin, Lin Shitou, Lin Chunxiang and Lin Huaixiang walked behind Lin Zhuzi in new clothes.

Lin Zhuzi, who is the groom's official son, is full of spring breeze, wearing a red robe, which makes him look tall, straight and energetic, with a dignified appearance.

"Pick up the bride!" With the long chant of the fifth uncle, the red sedan chair that Aunt Lin specially rented from the town was lifted up by four porters, and the gongs, drums and suona were playing and beating, so that adults and children rushed over Watch the fun.

"Wow oh oh oh!!!"

"There is a sedan chair!"

"There is nothing unattractive about the bridegroom's official family. Look at the brothers and sisters who are picking up the marriage, all of them are beautiful!"

"The grandson of the Lin family is also going to pick up the bride? He's going to make a big splash at his niece's house today."

The girl's house was far away, and everyone was about to set out on the road before dawn. There was a torch a few steps away, winding out of Liyu Village like a fire dragon.

Lin Zhen is Lin Zhuzi's uncle, and he is a little far away from Gu Lin who is following Lin Zhuzi. He is mixed with a bunch of relatives, and next to him are married Guo Xiaohua, Guo Yu, and Uncle Guo.

Next to it are relatives of Mrs. Lin's natal family, whom Lin Zhen is not familiar with.

The sky was dark, but everyone was not afraid, and the chat was full of enthusiasm.

Guo Xiaohua, who has changed a lot compared to a few years ago, looked at Lin Zhen who hadn't changed from what she remembered, and said kindly: "Cousin Zhenzhen, it's fortunate that you went that time back then, otherwise I wouldn't be living like I am now. "

In my memory, Guo Xiaohua was dry and thin. Long-term malnutrition made her look like nine or ten years old at the age of 14. Although Xiaohua is not tall now, about 1.5 meters [-], she has a thin skeleton and a fleshy type. See He is a handsome brother.

Guo Yu also said at the side: "Xiao Hua has to thank you, Brother Zhen. At that time, my father told me that he had already found him a family in the mountains. It was several days away from home. If he married I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for several years in the past."

"It's all right now, it's in the village, and we two brothers can usually get together to chat and talk about family affairs. I go back to Father's house in the morning, and he goes back in the afternoon. It couldn't be more convenient."

With a happy smile on Guo Xiaohua's face, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with his current life.

They are people that Father Lin cares about very much. If they live well, Father Lin can let go of his worries about them, and Lin Zhen will be happy.

And he didn't do anything at that time, he just used compost to let Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo put down his marriage, and when the family conditions improved, he would have more choices.

"Our family, don't speak two different languages, only Xiaohua and uncle and uncle are hardworking to live a good life, I will be embarrassed if you thank me." Lin Zhen really felt embarrassed, he didn't do anything I can afford so much thanks, so I quickly changed the subject and asked them how their harvest was this year.

The wedding reception team went from dark to dawn, and arrived at the bride's home around nine o'clock in the morning.

There are a little more families in this village than in Liyu Village. As soon as the wedding reception team entered the village, the children ran away yelling, "The groom is here!"

"You can have wedding candy!"

They said that the adults specially called here to watch, to inform the bride's family, and let them prepare.

So when Lin Zhen and his team went to welcome the bride, they saw the relatives of the girl's family who were sending the relatives stop at the intersection, each of them was holding a glass of wine in their hands, and they could only pass after drinking.

Moreover, this wine cannot be drunk by relatives and friends behind, it must be drunk by the two brothers who came to pick up the bridegroom.

As soon as they heard the rules here, everyone in the wedding reception team looked at Gu Lin and Lin Shitou, and laughed and booed: "Gu Juren, Lin boy, it's up to you whether Zhuzi can marry his wife back, but you must not." Stop the fire!"

"I've had a drink with Lin Shitou, he's a good drinker, Gu Ju is a scholar, I'm afraid he's hanging."

"A man who stands up to drink half a catty, what are you afraid of, Gu Juren, we will carry you back later!"

On a good day, they have to be more courageous. They usually see Gu Lin respectfully, but now they dare to make fun of him.
