Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

The Liu family rented an ox cart to welcome the bride, and when the firecrackers rang outside, everyone knew that the groom had arrived. The third uncle laughed happily, and picked up the hijab to cover Zhaodi.

Seeing the mandarin ducks on the hijab playing in the water, the women are even more envious, so what if her parents don't care, isn't her marriage well done and done properly?

What's more, the Qu family will still have to rely on Xiaobao and Pandi in the future. If these two siblings are good to Zhaodi, then she will have her natal family to rely on. What does it matter if her parents don't value her?

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Zhao Di. The third uncle and Wang Po supported her to the main room, while Qu Weizhen followed behind with a rattan box.

Qu Jingxi persuaded Qu's father and Qu's mother to sit at the top, and Liu Erlang followed his eldest brother in with a blushing face, and only when he stood still could he hear laughter from behind.

He couldn't help turning his head to look, and at a glance, he saw the girl in the red wedding dress surrounded by the crowd.

His eyes couldn't help but brighten, and he stared at her passionately.

It's just that Zhaodi was wearing a hijab and didn't see her. She was led to stand beside Liu Erlang, and Wang Po raised her hijab halfway, and instructed in a low voice to kneel away from her parents.

Qu's father and Qu's mother stared wide-eyed, they obviously didn't expect Zhaodi to have a wedding dress. Qu Jingxi beside him sighed like a little adult, stepped forward and tugged Qu's father and said: "Father, don't be sad, Liujiazhuang is not far from our village, if you miss your eldest sister in the future, you can pick her up and come back to stay for two days."

"Yes, stay for two days." Liu Erlang nodded foolishly: "Father, mother, don't worry, I will treat Zhaodi well and bring her back often."

Liu Dalang tugged his younger brother, what a fool, how could your father-in-law and mother-in-law be sad?

But these words still brought Qu's father back to his senses, he gave Qu Jingxi a dissatisfied look, and said to his elder daughter seriously: "Since you are married, you must listen to your husband-in-law from now on, respect your in-laws, and live a good life."

Zhaodi hurriedly knelt down, and Liu Erlang also knelt down with a "thump", and followed Zhaodi to kowtow three times.

Liu Dalang looked at the injured eye, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said in a low voice: "No need to knock three times..."

It's just that Liu Erlang laughed foolishly and didn't hear this at all.

I supported Qu Zhaodi's hand, squeezed her secretly and said, "Cry quickly, the more miserable you cry, the better."

Zhaodi looked at her younger brother and then at her younger sisters, tears streaming down her face.

Qu's family was satisfied, but the child still loves his family.

Mother Qu didn't say a word the whole time, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back when she opened her mouth, she glanced at Zhaodi's clothes and hijab, and saw that she was still wearing a silver bracelet, her heart ached even more.

But facing Pandi who was looking straight at her from behind, she could only hold back her silence. She didn't even notice that she was carrying a rattan box in her hand.

Seeing that Zhaodi was almost crying, Wang Po signaled Mother Qu to put down her hijab, and after kneeling goodbye, according to the custom, the elders of the family should put down the hijab of the bride, and it is also a blessing from the elders to the new couple.

But Mother Qu lowered her eyes and pretended she didn't see it, Wang Po was taken aback, she didn't know what to do for a while, she couldn't let the bride cry forever.

When Qu Weizhen saw her, she bowed to the third uncle and saluted from a distance. The third uncle was stunned, and then stepped forward to put down her hijab. She patted Zhaodi's hand and smiled, "Okay, after going out, she will be the Liu family. From now on, she will be a husband and a parent, respect her parents-in-law, be friendly to uncles and sisters-in-law, and take care of my sister-in-law. Don't be nasty and hateful, and don't be cruel when you are wronged. Your brother will make the decision for you."

Qu Zhaodi wiped away her tears, nodded slightly, and then Qu Jingxi stepped forward to carry Zhaodi, who was crying heavily, and sent her to the ox cart.

He and Qu Weizhen wanted to take Daidi to Liu's house, and Laidi stayed at home. Before leaving, Qu Jingxi bowed to the village chief and said respectfully, "The family will entrust third uncle."

The village chief stroked his beard and said with a satisfied smile: "Just don't worry, I will watch over here for you, and there will be no chaos."

Only then did Qu Jingxi turn around to indicate that the Liu family's team could leave. The young men of the two families set off firecrackers one after another, and the old cow pulling the cart walked forward slowly, ignoring the crackling sound of firecrackers behind.

Seeing that Qu Jingxi actually sent her to Liu's Village in person, the members of the Liu family were very satisfied for a while, and they valued the bride even more.

People in Liujia Village were amazed when they saw the wedding dress on the bride, and they all sighed to Liu's mother, "Erlang is so lucky."

Mother Liu laughed happily, but some people whispered: "It's just that the wedding dress is so good, why is there only a rattan box for the dowry?"

It wasn't until people arrived at the bridal chamber that the seven aunts and eight aunts went to watch, and then saw that she was wearing a silver hairpin on her head and a pair of silver bracelets on her hands, so she clicked her tongue and said nothing.

It's not bad to be able to return these things for only three taels of betrothal gifts, but Liu's father and Liu mother knew the inside story, knowing that the bulk of the money was the second daughter-in-law's money.

But the money is not revealed, and they are not willing to publicize it to make the Liu family underestimate the Qu family, so they acquiesced to everyone's discussion.

The three of Qu Jingxi's siblings had lunch at Liu's house, and sat with Zhaodi for a while before leaving.

A girl just got married like this, Qu Jingxi felt a little complicated, and murmured: "Actually, it would be better to marry two years later..."

Qu Weizhen was also a little sad, but she still let out a "bah" and said, "What nonsense are you talking about on the day of great joy?"

Qu Jingxi remained silent, walking beside the fourth sister and walking back silently.

Dai Di is more than a year older than Qu Jingxi, but she is much shorter than Qu Jingxi, and now only reaches his shoulders, looking at her as a younger sister.

She obviously didn't understand the meaning of the two of them. She looked at her sister and then at her younger brother ignorantly, and finally chose to walk in silence.

Qu Weizhen looked at it and reached out to hold her hand, thinking.

Among the three sisters, the fourth sister was the one she was most worried about. Maybe it was because she was frightened when she was young. She was very timid and not even intelligent. Many things were learned by others two or three times, but she had to teach them seven or eight times.

And she is very quiet, she hardly talks to others except her sisters. When Mother Qu taught her how to work, she would learn it seriously, but when she couldn't learn it, she wouldn't ask questions, but just followed the mistakes without saying a word, so she was often beaten.

In the past, when Xiaobao was still at home, Xiaobao would protect this elder sister who was only one year older than him. Qu's father and Qu's mother also looked at her differently because she brought her younger brother, so they didn't notice her shortcoming.

But after Xiaobao went to the capital, her shortcoming was infinitely magnified, so she was often beaten for it. Today, the elder sister repeatedly told Qu Weizhen to take care of Daidi before going out.

Qu Weizhen remembered that the teacher said that she wanted to open an academy to teach girls crafts, maybe she could bring Daidi with her by then.

The three brothers and sisters each have their own worlds, although they are dissatisfied under their feet, they are very quiet, and there is a strange harmony on the contrary.

But the situation in Qu's house was different. After sending the last guest away, the third uncle asked everyone to help clean the dishes, and sent back the borrowed tables, chairs and benches. Regardless of Qu's mother's ugly face, he asked everyone to share the leftovers. Then he turned to Qu's father and Qu's mother, "Follow me."

Qu's father and Qu's mother followed up obediently. As soon as they entered the door, the village chief slapped the table and shouted angrily in a low voice, "Look at what you are doing. Isn't Zhaodi your daughter? It's the first time I've seen you marrying a daughter for your sake!"

"Who did you show that face when the Liu family came to the door? The people who came to help came here before dawn. You guys slept until dawn. If you didn't know it, you thought it was your enemy who got married? Let's forget about the front, is this banquet your family's? There are two people in charge of the family, but you throw them all to a few underage children, and let us old men help greet you. Your face is really big enough."

Father Qu lowered his head and whispered, "They never told me..."

"Did I never tell you, or did you not want to listen?" The village chief stared at him, and said bitterly, "Third son, you are so focused on small things, why are you so confused on big things?"

He hammered the table and said: "How many blessings that people can't ask for in a few lifetimes fell on you. You don't know how to cherish it, so why bother?"

"Let's not talk about whether you need to sell some of his sisters in exchange for the dowry for Xiaobao, just say that you just exchanged the dowry, how much will it help your marriage with him?" The village chief raised his eyebrows and said: "Why don't you think about it, Xiaobao's teacher is Qin's nephew, and he is also a Jinshi master. He has contracted Xiaobao's study and living expenses, so don't you care about his marriage?"

"And the matchmaker he secured can be settled with dozens of taels of dowry? In the final analysis, it still depends on Xiaobao's ability. If he has the ability to achieve fame, then this is the best dowry. You don't want to let him study at ease. You are still here to distract him and make him worry about his sisters at home. This is not putting the cart before the horse. What is harming him?"

Qu's father and Qu's mother pursed their lips and remained silent, obviously still not thinking through.

The village chief raised his forehead with a headache. He is old and has limited energy. He may not live for a few more years. The biggest wish in his life is to hope that the Qu family can produce a scholar, so that he will be honored when he sees his ancestors underground.

You must know that the Qu family was a scholar when he was the patriarch.

Looking at the couple, he was afraid that the scholar guild would be finished by them. After thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, anyway, remember, don't bother Xiaobao with these things in the future, and don't always think about exchanging your daughter for a bride price. Xiaobao kisses all his sisters, but I can't help you if you insist on inserting a knife into this father-son mother-child relationship. You can do it yourself for now."

With that said, he flicked his sleeves and left.

And the outsiders have almost left, the Qu family's banquet is not bad, it belongs to the upper middle class, there are only some leftovers, everyone has a bowl, so they are very satisfied.

Laidi was sweeping the yard with a broom, when she saw her parents coming out, she shrank her shoulders, trying to minimize her existence.

But now there are only three of them in the whole yard, and it is too difficult to lose sight of her.

Mother Qu rushed over and grabbed her and asked, "Let me ask you, where did you get the money for the wedding dress and the silver bracelet? Is Pandi still hiding the money?"

Laidi said with a pale face: "No, no, the things are given by my younger brother."
