Chapter 51 The Inverted Hanger

A trace of uneasiness swept through Wu Song's heart. An Daoman's concept of time is very heavy, and it is unlikely that there will be un punctuality. It hasn't arrived yet. It must be because of something delayed. Wu Song really wants to go out to look for it, but the current situation is indeed a lack of skills. He can only call the guy over again.

"You can take a few more people and find Elder An in different directions. If there is any result, please report it to me at any time." When Wu Song spoke, he could hardly control his emotions.

When Wu Song watched the clerk disappear into the crowd, he paid attention to the ceremony at the scene again. Wu Da hasn't come down from the stage, and I don't know what he said later. From the continuous nod of the county magistrate beside him, it can be seen that he must have said a lot of flattering words, which made Wu Song a little disgusted. But you can't rush over to pull your brother down, and you can only listen.

Only listen to Wu Da continued to say, "After talking about Guihua Tower, we have to say another thing. In fact, it is written in your invitation that today is the day when my brother Wu Song and Haisha girl are married.

As soon as Wu Da said this, the people below began to boil a little.

"That's right, let Wudutou and Haisha girl come out quickly and let us see it."

"Yes, yes."

The number of people making a lot of coax is increasing, which makes Wu Da look a little embarrassed. But the embarrassment only stayed on his face for a moment and quickly disappeared: "Don't be impatient, everyone. Marriage matters, pay attention to the words of parents' fate and matchmakers. However, my brother and parents and I both died, and I can only act as the elders. The sea sand girl also came from afar to his aunt, and naturally it was her aunt to exercise the power of her elders. Now let's invite Haisha's aunt, Wang•••• Wang, to the front.

Wu Song almost laughed when he heard this. He knew why Wu Da paused for a moment. Everyone knows Grandma Wang, but no one knows Grandma Wang's name. On this occasion, you can't shout "Mang Wang, come up". However, Wu Da's reaction is really a piece of a Wang family. Although he did not consider the need for her husband's surname and his own surname, it is finally not rude.

There are a horre of people. Wu Song was very surprised that Grandma Wang was not arranged to sit in the main position, especially on behalf of the parents of Haisha.

Grandma Wang also changed her old dress today and dressed gorgeously. What just makes Wu Song feel a little awkward is that the color of the clothes is a little too bright, which is beyond the adaptation range of Grandma Wang's own age. This makes it a completely silent comedy when Grandma Wang stands beside Wu Da.

The scene was quiet. Maybe everyone was laughing. Wu Song felt that his face was hot, and he must have blushed at this time. But what can be done? Who makes herself like sea sand, and she is the aunt of sea sand? Speaking of sea sand, I haven't seen her yet. She is going to appear in today's engagement ceremony and actually had a dispute on this issue. According to common sense, this kind of engagement only needs to be confirmed by the elders, but Haisha insisted on attending through Wang Po, so it was decided. Wu Song also wants to meet Haisha when he is engaged. Even if he says a few words, he can relieve a little lovesickness.

"This is Wang, my future in-laws." Wu Da introduced it.

"Oh, Wu Da, your brother took her niece. In this way, isn't Grandma Wang a generation older than you?" At this time, an official sitting in the lobby caused a lot of laughter at the scene.

Wu Song peeked at the county magistrate and saw that the county magistrate was also twisting his beard happily. It seems that these officials know the temper of the county magistrate better than themselves, and it doesn't matter to make some harmless jokes on such occasions. Naturally, Wu Song was not angry, but he first watched how his brother resolved it.

"What you said is wrong. It is said that the eldest brother is the father. If this is the case, I can also say Dawu Song's generation. Moreover, the generation can be completely different, and there is no need to do a lot of entanglement on this. Is everyone right? Wu Da's reaction was very fast, and he thought that he had set up a stall on the street for many years. This kind of market-oriented speech rush could have been resolved calmly with his eyes closed.

"Wu Zhiyuan is right." At this time, Grandma Wang said, "My niece came to me from afar, but she didn't expect to fall in love with Wudu. This is also the smoke from our ancestral grave. Wudutou Shenwu is very good. How dare I be an elder in front of him? Grandma Wang spoke very reservedly.

"Look, my in-laws think the same way." Wu Da smiled when he heard Grandma Wang say "outside Wuzhi", and the following words made his expression a little dull. Wu Song sat in his seat and looked at his brother's expression. He knew that Mrs. Wang had offended Wu Da. He opened his mouth and mentioned Wu Song, which was equivalent to ignoring the position of Wu Da's elders. But it's really boring to compete for these things.

"Wu Song, is your fiancee here today?" The county magistrate suddenly opened his mouth beside Wu Song.

"My lord, here it comes. When the ceremony officially begins, she will come out. After all, it's a little out of style to show up in advance on formal occasions. Wu Song replied.

"Oh, I'm relieved. Let me see you two, it is enough to comfort your life. Hahaha."

Wu Song is also looking forward to the ceremony as soon as possible and the sea sand will appear soon. Where is she? Well, it should be in your own room on the second floor.

At this time, the polite words of Wu Da and Wang Po have been basically finished.

"Then invite my brother, Wu Song, the head of this county, to come and give a bride price to Miss Haisha's family." Wu Da said loudly.

When Wu Song heard his brother calling him, he said to the county magistrate next to him, "Exceed me," and got up and walked to Wuda. Rao Wu Da stepped on the high platform, and Wu Song also found that he was half a head taller than his brother. In order to make this comparison less obvious, Wu Song took another step away from Wu Da.

"What is the betrothal gift of the Wu family? Let's take a look." The guests next to him are stirring again, stirring up a thousand waves with one stone. Everyone is also very interested in seeing what the bride price is under the Wu family.

Wu Song ignored these voices, but went straight to Grandma Wang and bowed deeply: "Auntie, the younger generation has come to hire you. Please accept it with a smile." After saying that, he took out a piece of red paper from his arms and handed it over with both hands. Grandma Wang took it and felt a little stunned when she saw the text above.

"What is Mrs. Wang, reading for everyone?" The curiosity of the guests is not satisfied, and naturally they will not give up.

Grandma Wang took some pieces of red paper and slowly read them: "Two hundred taels of silver, twenty pieces of satin, a bowl of bread, a pair of live chickens, one big fish, four jars of wine, one box of four Beijing fruits, two catties of raw fruit, one box of four-color sugar, one catty of the best tea, two catties of sesame, smoked Two bundles of incense, two boxes of cannons, a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, two glutinous rice buckets, and two catties of white sugar.

(PS: It is necessary to make a note here to explain the betrothal gift. Wu Song's dowry is a complete betrothal gift. Explain the items separately. The bridesage, which means that the man acknowledges and thanks the woman's parents for raising his daughter. Of course, this has also been retained until now. I believe that many married or married young men feel angry about this, but there is nothing they can do. The ancestors set this rule. Satin or cloth is the clothes provided to the woman to prepare for the wedding. The betrothal cake is a specific food to be attached to the ancient betrothal gift. Chickens and pigs represent three animals. Because Haisha's parents are not in Yanggu, they are not equipped with three animals. Fish is similar to what it is now, and it is more than enough every year. There is no need to explain, everyone understands. Sijingguo refers to dried longan, lychee, dried peach and shelled peanuts to bless the prosperity of children and grandchildren, which also means completeness and happiness. Now this is always used in weddings. Fruit means that life is fierce and prosperous. Four-color sugar is rock candy, orange cake, winter melon sugar and golden sugar, which means sweet and white to old. Tea and sesame must use seeds as gifts because they grow tea, implying that once a woman has signed a marriage contract, she must keep her faith and have no regrets. This can also be collectively known as the "oil sesame tea gift".

The above is an explanation of the bride price. I am obsessed with making some annotations in the book. On the one hand, I hope you can understand it, and on the other hand, it also makes my writing world more realistic.)

The people below suddenly talked about it. Wu Song knew why they were talking. The highlight of this betrothal is the first two. Silver and satin, the amount is relatively large, which should be said to be unique in Yanggu County. Rich people generally do not pay such a heavy bride price when marrying daughters-in-law. When Wu Song made the gift list, he wanted to express his affection to Haisha through this, and also wanted to fill Wang Po's mouth that she would never have enough to eat, and then find an opportunity to give her a warning to completely calm down this restless factor.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, the bride price is over.

"Guests, if the woman received the bride price, then the marriage will be settled. Next, let's invite our Wu family to be the daughter-in-law, Haisha. Let Miss Haisha bring tea to the elders of both sides with my brother. When Wu Da said this, there was endless pride in his words.

Aren's cheers, Wu Song saw the sea sand coming down the stairs in white. People say, "If you want to be beautiful, three points of filial piety", which is true. The sea sand in white clothes is like a fairy in the sky. For a moment, Wu Song was a little crazy. And the fairy moved gently, walked to Wu Song, and said delicately, "Wu Lang."

At that moment, Wu Song felt happy, as if everything was not important. He looked at the sea sand and felt that his heart was almost exploding in his chest. But at this time, he found a small embroidery on the neckline of the sea sand.

This embroidery is a man hung upside down on a tree with his hands tied behind his back. Wearing a blue coat and red trousers. And the strangest thing is that there is a faint aura on his head.

What does this mean? Wu Song is puzzled.
