When talking about Zhang Zhenglai and Zhang Erni, Gu Pan just smiled and said nothing, until Wang Wu patted his shoulder, raised his chin to him, and got down to business.

"Today we accompanied Gu Pan to buy some fabrics for quilts. Aunt Gu asked me to come and ask Third Sister if she could spare some time to embroider a carp or a mandarin duck or something like that."

"I'll go ask for you." Upon hearing this, He Changliu didn't wait for Chu Xiao to respond, and ran to the west room window.

Yan Sanmei just happened to hear the sound and opened the window. She met He Changliu's eyes directly and glared at him with a slightly red face: "You are everywhere."

He Changliu chuckled: "Wherever you are, I must be there too."

"Cough cough cough." Yan Zhenshen coughed lightly a few times to remind the two guys who have not yet gotten married to pay attention to the impact of other people around.

Yan Sanmei shyly avoided his gaze, ignored He Changliu, and went out to join in the conversation.

After all, they are all from farming families and have an older brother, so there is no need to be too shy.

When Gu Pan got Yan Sanmei's response, his eyes lit up with joy, and then he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Third sister, Yu Ge'er said that what he likes most is the harvest, so can you embroider some rice ears or something on it?"

"One ear of corn bears hundreds of seeds, which means many children and good fortune." He Changliu clapped his hands, took a step closer to Yan Sanmei, and whispered, "Xiaoxi, I like it too."

Yan Sanmei's face turned red again and she glared at He Changliu fiercely. He was acting like a hooligan before they even got married. If there weren't so many people around, she would definitely ask Brother Xiao to beat him up.

Wang Wu was inexplicably moved when he heard this, and tugged at Luo Ge'er's sleeves: "Luo Ge'er, let's go back and embroider too. Not just rice ears, but also wheat ears, corn, peanuts, etc. Anyway, we can embroider anything with a lot of seeds."

"You go embroider it yourself, I can't do it." Although she said this, there was a smile in Luo Ge'er's eyes, and there was a soft light in her eyes when she looked at Wang Wu.

Chu Xiao: "..." What's going on? Why are they all coming to him to show off their affection?

Haha, it seems like everyone doesn’t…

When he looked up and saw his brother Shen's expectant look, Chu Xiao silently turned his eyes away.

One ear of rice has thousands of seeds. It can give birth to litters after litters of seeds by eating rice bran. The one that can have hundreds of seeds if it works hard is a rabbit.

Time flies, and winter soon comes after the busy autumn harvest. The Gu family is decorated with lights and is full of joy. It is very lively when the new husband enters the house.

Mrs. Gu originally said that she would discuss the marriage after winter, but she had gone to Ergouzi's house and beat up his father before, and she said that Zhang Yiming was her man, which gave this scoundrel an opportunity to take advantage of her.

First, he secretly asked A Yuan to call him dad, and then said that when he went out now, everyone would see him as Madam Liang's man, and he was always teased like this but had no official status.

Although he doesn't care about his reputation, he still has an old mother at home who has been thinking about her grandson A Yuan for a long time.

After much persuasion, Anning Village welcomed another happy event this winter.

If we say that Gu Pan's marriage was quite conventional, no different from most people in the village, then the situation of Madam Liang and Zhang Yiming is a bit hard to describe.

Because Zhang Yiming was so rebellious that he wanted to smash the ancestral tablets, and because he also asked to marry his cousin's wife, neither of these things would be glorious to make public. The stubborn ones felt ashamed, and the non-stubborn ones were suppressed by the stubborn ones.

As a result, no relatives of the Zhang family showed up on Zhang Yiming's wedding day. The only people who came were the young people in the village and those other scoundrels who had hung out with him when he was not doing his job properly.

Adding everything up... the number of people is really pitiful.

But looking at Madam Liang's wedding procession, which consisted of more than 180 people, and the 18 sets of dowry, it was truly incredible.

"Is this second marriage more splendid than the first one?" a woman couldn't help muttering. After all, they were all there watching when Madam Liang and Zhang Yi got married. Not only did no one come to see the bride off, but the dowry was only two boxes. It was nowhere near as grand as it is now.

The one with sharp ears in the wedding procession twitched his mouth when he heard this. How can it be the same?

According to Liang Xiaoyan, she married Zhang Yiyu just for a child. Once he had the baby, it would be hard to say whether the father would stay or go, so there was no need to make a big fuss.

But although it is her second marriage, she is looking forward to living a good life, so the dowry she prepared before cannot be left there to gather dust.

When the dowry was carried out, all the people in Shangtupo were so happy that they completely forgot that the girl in their village was getting married for the second time. They all came to join in the fun and to get to know the son-in-law of Shangtupo.

Everyone wanted to come, resulting in the fact that on the wedding day, the bride's family had several times more people than the husband's family.

This time, there was no need for Zhang Yiming's mother to say good words. She could just ask an elder from the Zhang family to come and preside over the ceremony. When the Zhang family members heard the news, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to rush to arrive before the auspicious time.

Otherwise, the people who went up the slope might act on impulse and feel that the Zhang family did not give them face... It's really scary to think about it.

"Eighteen stages?" After returning home from the banquet, Chu Xiao pondered while warming himself by the fire: "How much dowry is required for the legendary ten-mile red makeup?"

This really shocked the Yan family. Zhao Guizhi slapped Chu Xiao on the arm and said, "What are you thinking about? Are you going to live like this?"

"I'm just asking." Chu Xiao rubbed the place where Zhao Guizhi had slapped him, still staring at Qiao Qingyun to know the specific number.

Yan Zhennan was somewhat curious about this kind of display that only wealthy families could have, and he stared at his son Ayun just like Chu Xiao.

Qiao Qingyun shook his head and smiled, helplessly explaining, "The so-called ten-mile red dowry does not have a specific number, but it includes all the items a woman needs from marrying into her husband's family to passing away, from furniture and land to needles and thread. In addition to the eight-man sedan chair prepared by the husband's family, even the coffin required for death is included in the dowry."

"The bed, table and utensils are all available, covering all daily necessities. It simply represents the importance that the girl's family attaches to her, telling the husband's family that even though the daughter is married, she will not eat a grain of rice or wear a piece of clothing from the husband's family for free."

Zhao Guizhi exclaimed, "It's unlucky to send a coffin with this dowry."

"What's unlucky about that?" Although Yan Zhennan was stunned by what he heard, he did not forget to defend his son Ayun. His son Ayun was well-read and knowledgeable, so naturally whatever he said was right.

"Coffin, coffin, promotion and wealth."

"You are the only one who has many crooked ideas." Zhao Guizhi glared at the second brother in a reproachful manner, and then looked at Chu Xiao, "Don't think about the ten-mile red wedding dress, that is a grand ceremony that only high-ranking officials can have."

Chu Xiao looked at Yan Zhenshen, his mouth curled slightly: "Why didn't I seize the opportunity to trick Lei Huo and Bai Hao?"

After all, Lei Huo gave Bai Hao so many fields and shops as soon as he opened his mouth, and the things in the warehouse must be very valuable.

As a result, Bai Hao didn't even think about the pigs he owed him until he left Anning Village.

I really don't want nothing to happen. The moment I think about it, I feel like I'm at a great disadvantage.
