Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi blocked the gate of the yard: "You have to give a red envelope to enter."

Wei Cheng took out red envelopes on the spot, including Zhou Yuan's other cousins, as long as they stretched out their hands in the yard to ask for red envelopes, they would give them all.

Wei Cheng prepared thirty red envelopes, ten Wen each, and there was still some money left.

Wei Cheng gave the red envelope with one hand, and he gave it very generously. When he returned the red envelope to his son, the parents who looked at it showed satisfied smiles.

"I'm Brother Yuan's cousin Zhou Shaoyu."

Zhou Lanlan's eldest brother, Zhou Shaoyu, also came back from the school. He looks like a humble and Confucian gentleman.

"Hi cousin, I'm Wei Cheng, Yuan Yuan's future husband." I haven't married yet, so I can't say I'm a husband, and I need to get my name corrected!

"Treat Brother Yuan well."

"Will."

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother came out, and they were happy to see the handsome brother and son-in-law.

Wei Cheng saluted respectfully, and shouted: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm here to pick up Yuanyuan."

As a father, Zhou's father babbled a few words: "Chengzi, you and Yuanyuan live a good life. If Yuanyuan does not do well in the future and makes you angry, you take it back and I will teach him for you. You can't bully him in private."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will only dote on Yuanyuan, not bully Yuanyuan." His family Yuanyuan is his daughter-in-law, how can he bully her, it's too late to dote on her.

Zhou's mother pretended to be angry and said: "The head of the family, what nonsense you say, my brother-in-law will not bully Yuanyuan. Isn't it, Chengzi?"

"Mother-in-law is right!" The answer was full of tone.

Father Zhou nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, remember what you said today!"

Matchmaker Zhang shouted,

—The newcomers go out!

Everyone looked inside.

Zhou Yuan was carried out by his eldest brother Zhou Yong. The elder brother did not cover his head when he got married, and Zhou Yong carried the younger brother on his back. There were still several steps away from the gate of the courtyard. Wei Cheng strode over to Zhou Yong's side, directly took over from his brother-in-law, and held Zhou Yuan firmly. Zhou Yuan exclaimed, and blocked Wei Cheng's neck with his hands as if he was afraid of falling. Wei Cheng smiled lightly.

"Yuanyuan, I'll carry you out." His wife, even the eldest uncle, was not allowed to recite it.

"Yeah." Zhou Yuan nodded shyly.

When Wei Cheng took the man off Zhou Yong's back, Zhou Yong was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at the man, Wei Cheng firmly carried Zhou Yuan out of the yard.

Everyone who saw it smiled.

Wei Cheng carried him to the padded cart and sat down, before letting go.

The onlookers saw the red cloth and cushions on the bullock carts, and they were all wondering what was going on. Now they all knew that the cushions were for Zhou Yuan to sit on, so that they would be comfortable on the way back. Wei Cheng was considerate, It drew a compliment.

Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuan's three elder brothers were even happier when they saw it.

Everyone also noticed that Zhou Yuan was wearing gold bracelets, there were three of them, so they gasped.

Zhou Yuan's three sisters-in-law suspected that Zhou's mother secretly subsidized the purchase for Zhou Yuan, and they both coveted and resented.

Three gold bracelets, how much silver taels would they get? They were concerned about how much silver taels they would spend, they were concerned about being jealous of Zhou Yuan, and they didn't want to think about how much they could buy given the current situation of the Zhou family?

"Second sister-in-law, Yuan Yuan wears a gold bracelet, it looks really luxurious!" Zhou Yuan's aunt was also envious.

Aunt Zhou Yuan wished that the gold bracelet in Zhou Yuan's hand belonged to her, she said sourly, "Sister and sister, Brother Yuan's gold bracelet is not the one you secretly subsidized, right?"

Zhou's mother ignored her. She didn't want others to guess randomly, and explained directly, "This is my brother-in-law's caring person, and it was given to my family Yuan Yuan. In addition to the gold bracelet, so is the jade hairpin on Yuan Yuan's head. My family Yuan Yuan also returned it. I’m not willing to wear it, but I’m persuading me to wear it. The other two brothers from my natal family and my parents’ affection for Yuan Yuan.”

Zhou's mother's voice was not loud, but the aunts who were close to Zhou's mother heard it clearly, and soon the words spread.

Some villagers said: "Didn't it mean that Weicheng will be divided and the family will become poor?"

Another villager: "I don't know if this statement is true or not. According to the current situation, it is likely that someone spread it indiscriminately."

Then a villager said: "If you can afford a gold bracelet, how can you be so poor!"

.........

Wei Cheng's focused gaze was always on Zhou Yuan, and he didn't pay attention to what happened around him.

Wei Cheng was finally stunned at this meeting.

His wife is so pretty.

Dressed in a red dress, her jet-black hair is lightly pulled, a little makeup is applied, her eyebrows are delicate, her bright eyes are clean and penetrating, and her face is beautiful and beautiful.

Well, just a little thinner.

Go back and make up for it.

Zhou Yuan was stared at by Wei Cheng's undisguised hot eyes, his face was flushed, his hands were tightly clenched, and his palms were sweating.

Wei Cheng came back to his senses, he still remembered to take his wife home.

Wei Yuan and Wei Lei looked at him jokingly: Just stare dumbfounded.

Wei Cheng calmly returned a look to his friend: I was dumbfounded!

Wei Yuan and Wei Lei:.......When did Cheng Zi become so cheeky?

Wei Cheng bid farewell to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will take good care of Yuanyuan."

Zhou's father waved his hands reluctantly, Zhou's mother's eyes were red, and they both reluctantly sent their brother away.

Zhou Yong was the eldest brother of the Zhou family who was going to marry him. He didn't have to go, he didn't worry about his younger brother, so he went to Wei Cheng's house to see the way.

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi, as Zhou Yuan's friends, also accompanied Zhou Yuan, and followed him as a wedding.

Along the way, the bullock cart staggered and drove towards Wei Cheng's house.

Wei Chengjia

Wei He, Wei Cheng's elder sister, is here.

Wei's mother chatted with her eldest daughter Wei He, Wei's father was outside supervising the work, Wei Cheng's elder brother Wei Liang was watching the store, and would come over for a banquet at some point.

Wei He married in the early years. At that time, the Wei family had not moved to the outskirts of the county and was still living in the countryside. When Wei He married, he only found someone of the same birth. After Wei He married, the Wei family made a fortune not long after. The two elders of the family have always apologized for the poor marriage of the eldest daughter, and they often subsidize Wei He.

Wei He looks like Mother Wei, and speaks to please Mother Wei, and Mother Wei also likes the eldest daughter.

With Wei's mother helping her from time to time, Wei He also puffed up her chest and became half of the head of the family in her husband's house. Her mother-in-law was kind to her, and her sister-in-law also let her live, and her life was rich.

"Sister He, after the banquet later, you can take some dishes from the village back."

"Mother, will I have any objection if I take the second brother?"

"No way, the money for the banquet is all paid by your mother, and the gifts you receive are all decided by your mother."

"Then I'll take some home, thank you mother!"

Wei He was happy. She saw in the kitchen that the folks who came to the banquet brought a lot of food, including meat, eggs, and various vegetables... Take some back, and you can eat them for several days.

When she came to the banquet, she originally gave a tael of silver as gift money, but it was my younger brother, so it was not good to give too little, but I didn't expect to take some back without giving it.

If she knew that her second brother was married, she would let her son go to the town as an apprentice later, and let her be the head of the house and not accept work, and the daughter was unwilling to come, and said that she would not go to the second uncle's house instead of her grandmother's house, which caused She comes alone.

Wei He gave birth to a son and a daughter, and their family lives in a village not far from the town.

Sitting next to Wei Wu is boring. She has a normal relationship with the eldest sister. She looks down on this eldest sister, but she will not show her dissatisfaction. This eldest sister's family background is not good, but she still has a certain status in front of Wei's mother. .

"Mother, the young lady is here."

Wei Wu's eyes are sharp, and this time a young woman in bright clothes and gold and silver pearl hairpins came in, accompanied by a maidservant.

Mother Wei and Wei He heard the words and looked over.

"Mother, sister, sister-in-law." Wei Zhen walked in.

"Zhen'er is here." Mother Wei happily greeted her daughter to sit beside her.

To say that the eldest daughter Wei He is apologetic in Mother Wei's heart, while the younger daughter is her caring little padded jacket.

Wei Zhen asked the maid to pass the gift to a woman who was serving Wei's mother, then sat next to Wei's mother, and asked coquettishly, "Mother, why did you agree to let the second brother marry a brother? I thought I was wrong when I received the invitation."

"I don't agree, but your second brother had blind dates a few times before, and the girl disliked him. On the last blind date, he met a brother. Anyway, the second brother split up. If he loves to marry his brother, he will marry him." .”

Wei Zhen also felt that his second elder brother's stupid appearance was too embarrassing to the Wei family. If she bumped into him on the street, she would not recognize him.

"Mother, I don't know how to call a brother and second sister-in-law."

"If you don't bark, don't bark!" Wei's mother indulged, "Daughter, why did you come alone, and your grandson and son-in-law didn't come?"

"I heard that the second brother got married. My mother-in-law doesn't want the two grandchildren to come over. And my husband is busy, so how can I come here when I have time?"

Wei Zhen didn't want to come either. If it wasn't for Wei Cheng being her second elder brother, she wouldn't want to step in here at all. Once she came in, it smelled stale, the walls were also worn out, and there wasn't even a decent chair in the room, just a few old chairs and old table.

Wei Wushi interjected: "Sister, you look really good today, the fabric is too shiny, it must cost a lot of silver." She noticed the sister-in-law's outfit as soon as she entered the door, but her eyes were greedy.

"My sister-in-law knows what to buy. This is a piece of brocade worth more than twenty taels." Wei Zhen boasted.

Wei He gasped: "Twenty taels!" My sister's body is really valuable!

Wei Wu's tongue snapped secretly.

Wei's mother also felt that her daughter was rich and noble, "My Zhen'er is a lucky person. After marrying into the Feng family, she gave birth to a grandson for the Feng family. The business of the Feng family is also getting better and better. Now they live in a big house."

Wei Wushi flattered: "No, my sister is a lucky person."

When Wei Zhen heard this, she raised her chin in a haughty manner.

She married into Feng's family. Feng's family opened a shop in the outer city. Later, the business grew bigger and bigger. Now they all live in a second-class mansion in the inner city, with seven or eight servants in the family.

Of course she is blessed!

Not long after, the person who picked up the bride came back!

Newcomers get started and get married.

Wei's father and Wei's mother sit on the high hall.

The matchmaker sings—

Worship to heaven and earth

Second worship

Husband and wife worship

Into the bridal chamber—

...

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan returned to their new house, and they were the only two left in the house. This time Wei Cheng didn't want to go out yet, and stayed in the new house to miss his wife.

"Yuan Yuan, are you tired, do you want to take a rest first?"

"Not tired."

"Yuan Yuan, are you thirsty, can I pour you a cup of tea?"

"......it is good."

Pour tea immediately.

"Yuan Yuan, are you hungry, let's have some jujube cake first?"

"it is good."

Immediately, he brought the whole plate of jujube cake to Zhou Yuan, took out a piece in his hand, handed it over, and waited anxiously for Zhou Yuan to take it.

.........

Along the way, Zhou Yuan was very nervous, and the tension in his heart was broken by Wei Cheng's behavior of coming and going.

That's right, this place will be his and Brother Wei's home from now on, it's their common home, it's not a strange environment.

Brother Wei is his husband, so why should he be nervous.

Zhou Yuan took a sip and smiled softly: "It's delicious!"

"Really? I'll have a taste." After finishing speaking, Wei Cheng lowered his head, took a bite of the pastry in Zhou Yuan's hand, and chewed it a few times, "Mm, it's really delicious."

Zhou Yuan was warmed up by Wei Cheng's intimate actions... Brother Wei, he bit the pastry he had eaten... How could he be like this...

Wei Cheng smiled at Zhou Yuan's stunned expression.

Yuan Yuan of his family is so simple!

The banquet outside is about to start, and if he wants to stay, he has to go out. As today's host, he must go out to greet the guests.

"I'll go out and ask Aunt Lu to cook noodles for you, and I'll leave a few dishes. I'm going out to greet guests, and two of your friends will come in to accompany you later."

"Then, Brother Wei, go quickly!" Ah! He and Brother Wei have been hiding in the room, will they be laughed at by the guests......

Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows, Brother Wei? !

It's time for him to teach Yuan Yuan to change his words, but—

There was a knock on the door.

"Wei Cheng, Aunt Lu said that you have guests to receive." It was Zhou Qiu's voice.

His only guest is Carpenter Zhao, so Uncle Zhao must be here.

Wei Cheng couldn't dawdle anymore, leaned down, put his lips against Zhou Yuan's forehead, and kissed lightly: "Wait for me to come back!"

"En!" Zhou Yuan nodded shyly.

Wei Cheng walked out, Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi stood at the door, "You stay with Yuan Yuan, and Aunt Lu will deliver the food to the room."

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi nodded, they knew who Aunt Lu was, and it was Aunt Lu who received them just now.

After Wei Cheng left, the two ran into the new house and exclaimed when they saw the layout of the new house.

They walked around outside and found that Wei Cheng's house was really dilapidated, no different from a country house, some walls had been repaired, there were not many tables in the house, some were still damaged, and it could be seen even after painting.

But in the new house, it's completely different.

The style of the furniture looks very high-end, all of which are brand new, and styles that have never been seen before. There are mandarin duck pillows, and red date cakes are placed on the table.

"Yuanyuan, the layout of your new house is really different from the outside. Everything here is brand new, but the tables and chairs outside are very old."

Zhou Yuan had been focusing on Wei Cheng just now, and now Zhou Yuan paid attention to the decoration of the new house.

"Yuanyuan, do you think Weicheng is poor or not?" Zhou Qiu couldn't keep his mouth shut and asked directly.

Zhou Muzi laughed and said, "Qiuqiu, why would you ask such a question?"

Zhou Qiu chuckled.

Zhou Yuan also surprised the layout of the room, shook his head, "I don't know!"

The things in the room are brand new, so you have to spend a lot of money to buy them, right? Will Big Brother Wei use up all his wealth to get married?

Zhou Yuan was a little tangled in his heart.

If it was really spent, his mother would give him five taels of silver before going out.

In this way...the family still has money.

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi didn't know what their friends thought, they both looked at the new house in amazement!

At this time, Aunt Lu knocked on the door and came to deliver food.

The meals were brought in in a basket, and there was a low table in the room, which was originally placed in the yard for eating, but it was moved in for the convenience of Zhou Yuan eating in the new room.

"You are brother Zhou, right? I am brother Chengzi, Wei Yuan, his mother. You can call me Aunt Lu."

"Hi, Aunt Lu." Zhou Yuan called obediently.

"Chengzi specially prepared dishes for you, and I also cooked shredded pork noodles for you. You can eat red dates and cakes on the table. You eat first, and I will go out to sit first."

"Thank you, Aunt Lu!" The three thanked each other.

The meals include noodles, stewed meat, roasted chicken, stewed winter melon, stir-fried three vegetarian dishes, and a dish of green vegetables.

There are a lot of dishes, and I have never eaten such a sumptuous meal at home during the Chinese New Year.

The three of them didn't know how to place their chopsticks.

The dishes on this banquet are also really good.

Anyway, the three of them started eating and were already hungry!

The guests who came to the Weicheng wedding reception were basically relatives and friends from the same village, a few were people who had good friends with the Wei family, and there were also nearby neighbors.

The banquet starts after Shenshi, which is convenient for the villagers to return to the village without rushing through the night.

Carpenter Xie came, and his congratulatory gift was directly given to Wei Cheng. He didn't know what the gift box was, so Wei Cheng asked Aunt Lu to put it back in the room for him.

"Cheng boy, I want to have a few drinks with Uncle Zhao later."

"Must be sure, Uncle Xie, please sit down, the wine is mediocre and the food is poor, and the hospitality is not good."

"Where, where."

After exchanging polite greetings, they sat down.

Wei Cheng didn't go to sit at the main table, but sat at the table with his friend, brother-in-law, and went to toast halfway and came back.

There are ten dishes at the banquet, besides the drinks, two meat dishes are the main courses, a few stir-fried dishes, a few vegetarian dishes, as well as Pan Shao panzi and white flour steamed buns.

The meal was about the same, Wei Cheng asked Aunt Lu to arrange thousands of layers of red date cakes, but the guests didn't expect that there would be dishes behind them, and when the thousand layers of red cakes were served, the plate was empty.

Everyone eats it, and is also curious about what kind of pastry it is. Not only have they never eaten it, but they have never seen it before. The pastry is slightly transparent and has a faint aroma of red dates. It must not be cheap.

Some children from good families still want to eat after eating, and they make trouble with their parents and are reprimanded.

Wei Dabao, Wei Cheng's nephew, made a fuss even more, and took Wei Wu's to eat.

Wei Zhen didn't come to the banquet on purpose, she disliked all the dishes on the banquet, and stopped her chopsticks after taking a few bites casually. It was the first time she saw such a pastry when the thousand-layered red dates were on the table, and she liked it very much.

"Mom, where did you order the cakes? They are beautiful and delicious. Tell me, I'll go to the store and bring them back to my mother-in-law." The thousand-layer red date cake is sweet and fragrant, with a delicate fragrance of red dates. It has a springy texture and is not greasy.

Wei's mother was also puzzled: "This is not what I decided."

Ask the waitress to inquire, and she will come back soon, "Madam, I heard that this was arranged by the second young master. I can't find out where it was bought."

Second child?

Mother Wei and the others were all surprised.

Make up your mind to ask after the banquet.
