Ever since they decided to hold a banquet, Su Shuiche and Lin Siyao had discussed it. They would take out three taels of silver and invite the neighbors who had helped them before to hold a banquet and a wedding banquet.
Therefore, when the banquet started, the hot and cold dishes were served one after another. Even though Su Shuiche knew the general style of the dishes, she was still shocked.
The 18 dishes that she and Lin Siyao had ordered should be nine cold and nine hot dishes, which meant that they were perfect.
Among them, there were four cold dishes and four hot dishes.
The remaining dish was half meat and half vegetable.
Not to mention the nine cold dishes of six meat and three vegetable dishes, the six meat dishes of the nine hot dishes were all meat dishes. There were braised pork knuckles, roasted duck with scallion oil, steamed bream, fancy shredded pork, dry-fried bell, and black chicken soup.
Three taels of silver for four tables and two dishes. Were the dishes really that good?
She turned her head to look at Lin Siyao in confusion.
"The shopkeeper's wife said that she would use the dishes as a gift." Lin Siyao saw her confusion and explained while picking up food for her.
Su Shuiche heard this and looked at the shopkeeper's wife who was feeding her two sons. When she saw the shopkeeper's wife looking over, she quickly smiled and thanked her.
"No need to be so polite!
This is what I should do.
It's just adding two dishes. "The shopkeeper's wife waved her hand and smiled to indicate to Su Shuiche that she shouldn't mind.
When Su Shuiche heard her say this, she graciously accepted her gift.
She understood that since it was said that there were two dishes, the price wouldn't be low.
However, since the shopkeeper's wife said that she would treat her as a younger sister, she could embroider more good embroidery in the future as a return gift for her.
After three rounds of wine, the banquet became lively.
There were people who competed in drinking, people who performed, people who chatted, and people who were full of tender feelings.
Lin Siyao knew that Su Shuiyue preferred plain dishes, so he basically chose dishes that were light and not greasy, such as the steamed bream. After removing the thin bones, he placed it on the plate in front of her.
Aunt Lao, who was sitting on the other side of Su Shuiche, teased with a smile, "This young couple's relationship is really good."
The shopkeeper's wife heard this and also smiled, "Isn't that so.
When I saw Ah Yao leave early and come back late, the first thing he asked when he came back was, 'Did Shuiche eat today?'
Haha …. "The shopkeeper's wife couldn't help but laugh.
This caused Su Shuiche's face to turn red.
That's right, since the day she bought the cloth, she had been sewing in her room and forgot to eat lunch, which was discovered by Lin Siyao. After that, every time he came back from supervising the workers in Flower Town, he would ask the shopkeeper about it.
Over time, the shopkeeper's wife also learned about his temperament. If Su Shuiche forgot to call the waiter to send her food upstairs or didn't go downstairs to eat, they would take the initiative to ask the waiter to send it upstairs.
They didn't want Lin Siyao to know about it when he came back and emitted a cold aura, scaring away the guests who came to stay. They would be the unlucky ones.
"You don't say, Ah Yao is really the man who loves his wife the most in Flower Town." At the same table were Aunt Tian and her daughter.
When they heard the shopkeeper's wife say this, they also ate and teased Su Shuiche.
"That's right, you didn't see our Shui Yatou's delicate skin. I can't bear to see her busy." Aunt Lao gave her daughter a bell and continued to tease them.
The first time she saw Su Shuiche, she was really attracted by her pure and elegant temperament. Without thinking, she wanted to make her her little wife, causing a big joke.
Now, this Shui Yatou was taken and was about to get married, but her Er Wazi was still … Alas, she could only blame her Er Wazi for not having the good fortune.
Thinking about this, she glanced at her Er Wazi, Lao Yongqiang, who was sitting with his father and chatting about the mountains. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Aunt Lao is right. The first time I saw Shui Yatou in the Hua Family's courtyard, I was also stunned.
How could there be such a beautiful and quiet girl? She really looked like a fairy from the New Year's painting. "Aunt Tian continued to talk about her memories with a smile.
She went to the fairs and festivals in Fanluo City every time, but she had never seen a girl as delicate and delicate as Su Shuiyong. Fortunately, she had heard from her man that Lin Siyao knew martial arts and was quite skilled. He was not afraid that those scoundrels who might harbor ill intentions toward Lass Shui would come knocking on his door and bully him.
When it came to daughters of farmers, it mainly depended on the family's background.
If the family's background was good, it would be a blessing if the daughter was beautiful.
If the family's background was not good, it would be hard to say if the daughter was as beautiful as a flower. If the family's background was not good, it would be a disaster.
… …
They went into the house and ate to their heart's content.
It didn't end until the end of the afternoon.
The wives, daughters-in-law, and daughters of each family were scrambling to clean up the tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks.
Su Shuiche didn't understand.
"Feng Laoliu probably said that everyone who participated would get copper coins."
Lin Siyao supported Su Shuiche, who had drunk two cups of wine. Her face was flushed and she was staggering. He asked worriedly, "Can we go?"
Su Shuiche nodded. The self-brewed sorghum had an unusually high alcohol content. Even the ground was shaking with just two small cups.
Then what about the wedding banquet tonight?
Aunt Lao had said that this lunch was just for show. As for the evening, it was time to toast everyone.
Oh … Su Shuiche couldn't help but wail in her heart.
Tomorrow, she must make some fruit wine with low alcohol content, just like the French wine that her elder brother gave her.
In the end, Su Shuiyue was carried back by Lin Siyao with his arm around her waist. Fortunately, it was a sunny afternoon, and most of the villagers were resting at home. Those who saw this scene were acquaintances who were on their way home after the banquet.
Seeing this, they only smiled kindly and didn't have any bad intentions.
"Sleep well for a while. I'll be outside."
Lin Siyao gently put her on the big bed and pulled a corner of the quilt to cover her chest, indicating that she should rest for a while.
He went to the backyard and saw that the two wolf pups had finished eating the meat soup and rice in the two big soup bowls. They hugged each other and slept in the newly built wooden house.
He picked up the soup bowls and took them to the big water tank to wash. Then, he scooped a big ladle of water and added it to the sink in front of the wooden house.
They would drink it when they woke up.
Then, he walked back to the main room and prepared for the wedding ceremony at the end of the afternoon.
Following Aunt Lao's instructions, he put away the pastries used at noon on two big fruit plates. On the plates, he placed the unused pastries and fruits, and replaced them with new teacups and wine cups.
He put away the burned candles and incense in the kitchen cupboard to be used for lighting at night.
He took out a pair of new candles and three incense sticks, and put them in the candlesticks and incense cauldrons.
After everything was ready, Lin Siyao returned to the bedroom and saw that Su Shuiche was sleeping soundly. He couldn't resist the effects of the wine, so he laid down beside Su Shuiche with his clothes on.
… …
Su Shuiche once again returned to the Su family through the dream.
She announced to the Su family that she was going to get married.
As one could imagine, everyone's reactions were different.
Some were angry, some were helpless, some were disappointed, and some were rejoicing in her misfortune. Only her mother, Li Ruxi, smiled and nodded to her: What's wrong with being an assassin? As long as he treats you well and has his heart tied to you, that's enough.
Mother was lamenting about herself.
Father didn't dote on her as much as he did on Second Mother. However, because of the position of the first wife, mother had to force a smile.
This was the reason why he had rarely seen his mother laugh from the bottom of her heart since he was a child.
Su Shuiyao reluctantly watched as Li Ruxi's figure, which was pretending to be strong, gradually disappeared in front of her. She anxiously reached out to pull her, "Mother … Mother …"
"Shuiche!
Shuiche! "
Who was it?
Calling her name so softly and anxiously.
Su Shuiche wiped away the tears that couldn't help but fall down her cheeks. Mother, you have to take care of yourself!
"Shuiche …" She couldn't help but open her eyes when she heard someone call her name over and over again.
Where was this?
Yes, this was her and Lin Siyao's bedroom from now on.
And today was her and Lin Siyao's wedding day.
Ah!
Thinking of this, Su Shuiche suddenly sat up. After drinking two cups of sorghum, she only wanted to take a nap. How could she sleep like a log?
There was still a lot of preparation to do.
"Don't worry, it's still early." Lin Siyao's soft voice sounded in her ear, startling her.
Turning her head, she saw Lin Siyao half sitting on the bed, looking at her with bright eyes.
He was only wearing an inner garment.
"You …" Su Shuiche suddenly felt her face heat up.
She hurriedly covered her eyes, "You still haven't put on your clothes."
"Don't think too much." Lin Siyao saw her expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"My robe was wet from your tears. I thought I was about to change into a wedding robe, so I took it off."
Su Shuiche heard his explanation and remembered her dream. She couldn't help but be a little distracted.
"What's wrong?" Lin Siyao helped her to sit on the bed. Seeing her sad face, he couldn't help but frown and ask.
Just now, he was awakened by her suppressed crying and thought she had a nightmare.
But, if it was a pure nightmare, why would she be so sad at this time?
A trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart. He was afraid that she would say that she regretted marrying him. He subconsciously clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked.
"I … dreamed of niangqin." Su Shuiche came back to her senses and thought of her niangqin's words in her dream: Husband and wife get along well with each other.
She couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Looking up, she saw Lin Siyao's slightly pale face. She couldn't help but reach out and caress his face: "Ah Yao, what's wrong?"
Lin Siyao shook his head. He used his big hands to wrap her small hands and put them on his cheeks: "I thought …"
"I dreamed of niangqin, as well as everyone in the Su family. I told them that I was going to get married."
Su Shuiche gathered her courage and continued to say. Some words, missing the right time would be a lifetime regret: "In the future, you will be my sky.
Ah Yao … "
"Shuiche … My wife …" Lin Siyao deeply sighed.
Su Shuiche's ears were filled with unspeakable heartache: "Ah Yao, in the future, we have to tell each other everything. Don't hide it in your heart." She would remember her niangqin's teachings: The way of husband and wife, is to understand each other.
She would absolutely not allow herself and Lin Siyao to walk on the same path as her niangqin and father.
Lin Siyao solemnly nodded and immediately hugged her tightly.
After a long time …
