Chapter 362 One life, one pair
The village committee decided to leave 200 million young corns for Manager Hua.
Of course, tender corn comes in different sizes.
Li Lanzhen was there on the first day the grocery store opened.
Seeing that Han Shunde was very skilled and the grocery store was busy but not messy, she returned to Taohuayuan the next day.
Because she had to prepare for Han Yuemei's wedding as soon as possible.
Han Yuemei's wedding dress and Xue Bao's groom's suit were both brought back from the capital by Li Lanzhen at the request of Shopkeeper Hua.
Xue Lao Hu and his companions also bought a sedan chair from Youzhou Prefecture.
The bedding, blankets and furnishings in the new house were all carefully selected by Li Lanzhen from the space.
The layout is similar to that in Han Mingxiang’s new house.
The kang in the new house needed to be covered with two sheets. In the era when Li Lanzhen lived, two sheets were made of red sheets with large peony flowers, which were bright and festive.
The sheets on the kang in Han Mingxiang's new house were already very coveted.
So, Li Lanzhen prepared two sets for her other two sons and Han Yuemei.
According to the local custom of girls getting married, Li Lanzhen prepared ten dowries for Han Yuemei.
Thick quilts, thin quilts, mattresses on the kang, and a box of sheets and quilt covers.
A box was packed with coarse cloth, cotton cloth and silk.
A box was filled with clothes, capes, shoes and socks for all four seasons.
……
The most important thing is that there is a box full of jewelry and glass ornaments.
Everyone was amazed when they saw it. This was the best dowry for a farmer's family.
It's the same for a girl from a wealthy family getting married.
On the wedding day, Xue Bao wore a bright red wedding gown and rode a big white horse.
When we arrived at the gate of Li Lanzhen's house, it was tightly closed.
Han Mingjiang pushed against the door and shouted, "Xue Bao, what are you doing in my house?"
Xue Bao dismounted and stood at the gate of the yard, holding his head high and speaking loudly.
"Second brother, I'm here to get married!"
"Who is your second brother and who is your wife?"
"I'm here to marry my wife Han Yuemei. You are my second brother."
"Hahahaha, cluck cluck."
His loud voice caused laughter from the adults and children around him.
Han Minghai continued shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Xue Bao, if you marry Han Yuemei home, how are you going to treat her?"
“I got my wife back, so of course I have to treat her well.
We will be together for the rest of our lives and never let her down!"
After Xue Bao shouted this, the door opened with a crash.
Han Minghai and Han Mingjiang put their hands on their hips and stared at him fiercely.
"Xue Bao, we all heard what was said today, and everyone can testify for us.
Today he married my sister and promised to be together forever."
Han Zhaoxiong followed Xue Bao, grabbed a handful of copper coins and scattered them out. Han Yinan led a group of children to pick up the copper coins with laughter.
Xue Bao strode into Han Yuemei's room and stood at the door shouting loudly.
"Wife, are you ready? I'm here to marry you and go home!"
After saying that, he pushed the door open and saw Han Yuemei, covered with a veil, sitting on the edge of the kang.
Xue Bao walked carefully towards her step by step and took her hand.
The voice was gentle, "Yuemei, let's go, the two of us will go and kowtow to mother and say goodbye."
He carefully held Han Yuemei's hand and went out to the hall.
Li Lanzhen was already sitting upright in the chair.
There were two cushions placed in front of the chair, and two people came and knelt in front of the cushions.
Xue Bao clasped his hands together, raised his head and said to Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, I took Yuemei home.
Don't worry, I will treat her well."
Li Lanzhen had already heard what Xue Bao said at the gate of the yard.
Smiling happily, she usually instills in these children the truth that a couple should be together for a lifetime.
He also repeatedly stated that his children and grandchildren should only marry one wife in their lifetime and not have concubines.
If you don't obey, I'll break off the relationship and kick you out!
Time and again, the children and grandchildren answered without hesitation that they had only one wife in their lives.
That's why Xue Bao shouted this and made a promise to Han Yuemei.
"Okay, I will hand my daughter over to you today.
You must keep your promise and stay with Yuemei for the rest of your lives.
If you ever break your promise, I will ask her three brothers to bring Yuemei back."
Xue Bao kowtowed quickly and said repeatedly.
"Mom, don't worry, Yuemei is the only one in my life, and we will live our lives well."
The sedan chair trembled as it carried Han Yuemei to Xue Laohu's yard.
Xue Lao Hu had only this one son, so when the courtyard and house were being built, no separate courtyard was built for Xue Bao.
This was also the decision made after Xue Lao Hu and his wife and Li Lanzhen discussed it.
Li Lanzhen also asked Han Yuemei privately that if she was willing for the couple to live separately, she would go find Xue Laohu and his wife and give the two children a separate yard and house.
But Han Yuemei dissuaded Li Lanzhen.
She expressed her willingness to live with Xue Lao Hu and his wife.
When they were getting married, Xue Lao Hu and his wife insisted that Li Lanzhen sit in the seat beside their parents.
Li Lanzhen did not act pretentiously. She sat down with them and accepted the two children's thanks.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds were escorted to the bridal chamber.
The children all rushed into the bridal chamber and watched Xue Lao Hu pick up the veil with a scale.
Han Yuemei's shy face appeared before her eyes.
The children cried out.
"What a beautiful bride! What a beautiful bride!"
Han Zhaoxiong distributed some candy to the children again and then drove these naughty kids back to the dining room.
Xue Bao picked up a pair of scissors from the wooden tray held by Nanny Hua, sat on the edge of the kang, cut off a lock of his own hair and a lock of Han Yuemei's hair, tied the two strands of hair into a knot, and then put them in a red purse, tied the bag of the purse, and placed it under the pillow at the head of the kang.
From now on they will be married and live happily together forever.
Only after drinking the wedding wine did the adults and children leave.
Then everyone went to the cafeteria.
All the ingredients for today’s banquet were prepared by Xue Lao Hu’s family.
Including drinks, fruits and candies at the banquet.
Originally, Li Lanzhen wanted to take care of it all.
But she couldn't persuade Xue Lao Hu and had to let him go.
The bridal chamber fell silent. Xue Bao looked at Han Yuemei and just kept smiling foolishly.
Han Yuemei's face was even redder than the bright red wedding dress she was wearing, and it looked hot.
Looking at Xue Bao who was sitting next to her, Han Yuemei felt that he was even dumber than herself.
Seeing that he was sitting there without moving or talking, she spoke in a low voice.
"Xue Bao, go wash up and change your clothes first. Let's go to the dining room together. We have to toast everyone."
Xue Bao then stood up and agreed repeatedly.
"Oh, okay, my wife, I'll go wash up first, and then you can change your clothes, okay?"
"Well, go quickly."
Han Yuemei covered her mouth and laughed secretly as she watched Xue Bao leave.
The two of them simply washed and changed into their wedding gowns. Han Yuemei took off the hairpins and rings on her head, called Aunt Hua in, and simply combed her hair. ?
This time, both of them changed into simple long shirts and skirts.
But the colors are beautifully matched, and there are flowers and plants embroidered on it.
Xue Bao was wearing a moon-white outfit with dark bamboo leaf patterns on it.
He wore black soap boots and a dark blue robe.
Han Yuemei wore a silver-red skirt and a red cloak with white fox fur trim.
After cleaning up, the two of them went to the dining room together.
From far away, I could hear laughter in the dining room.
As soon as the two of them arrived in the dining room, the laughter and chatter instantly turned into noise.
The candies and dried fruits on the table have been removed, and the dishes have been served one by one.
When he saw the two of them coming, Xue Lao Hu stood up and spoke loudly to everyone.
"Today is a good day for my son Xue Bao to get married.
I've prepared some light wine so we can have fun together."
As soon as he finished speaking, the adults all shouted congratulations.
The children shouted loudly, congratulations, may your marriage be happy and may you have a baby soon!
Then there was only a burst of laughter!
