The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Everyone hadn't seen Lu Tianming and County Magistrate Yao for a long time, so they all happily gathered around to chat.

When we were fleeing the famine, we were together for a long time and didn’t feel anything. Now that we’ve been apart for a few months, I really miss you.

Lu Tianming looked at the villagers who gathered around him, greeted them, and then asked about their current situation one by one.

When it was Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing's turn, he asked them in detail about their recent situation.

When he learned that the house had been built and the silk business was going well, he stroked his beard with joy.

Yes, in the past few months, Lu Tianming and Yao County Cheng have started growing the popular beards again.

Lu Qingqing was also very happy when she saw Lu Tianming, whose face was rosy and in good spirits.

Uncle Tianming had put in a lot of effort in protecting them all the way here, and by the time he arrived at Baoshan Town, he already had a lot of white hair.

Therefore, before they went to the provincial capital, they prepared several portions of honey and tangerine peel paste with a lot of space water added.

Before leaving, he told them to drink it often.

I don’t know if this thing worked, but they all looked very good.

After asking around, Lu Tianming learned that everything was going well for everyone and he became happy too.

At this time, Lu Yuanfang saw that his father had finished asking questions, so he hurriedly pulled Lu Qingqing aside to talk.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Lu Yuanfang's originally tanned face had become whiter.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Lu Yuanfang had a lot of things he wanted to say to Lu Qingqing.

What new things are happening in the capital city? What about King Huai organizing a shocking military parade?

Lu Qingqing got to know more about the provincial capital from Lu Yuanfang.

I know that the atmosphere there is becoming more and more open, and many women are doing business.

The palace even opened a school specifically for teaching textiles, and hired only female teachers.

Lu Yuanfang's eyes sparkled when he talked about these things.

As she spoke, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

She spoke a little shyly about her upcoming marriage to Yao Bowu.

Then, speaking of the Yao family’s strict rules, they would not allow the bride to show her face in public.

Lu Qingqing thought of Mrs. Yao's past behavior and could only comfort Lu Yuanfang with a few words.

At this time, Lu Tianming and County Magistrate Yao also announced the news that Yao Bowu and Lu Yuanfang were going to get married.

Everyone was very happy when they heard this.

This was the first couple to get married after they settled down, which was a good symbol in everyone's eyes.

Therefore, everyone gathered around the two newlyweds and congratulated them.

As for the groom-to-be and bride-to-be who were surrounded separately, they were a little shy at this moment.

The two had been childhood sweethearts, and their relationship deepened after they experienced the life-and-death test together while fleeing famine.

Listening to everyone's blessings, the two of them secretly glanced at each other.

But they accidentally looked at each other, and both of them blushed instantly.

Lu Qingqing was watching from the side and felt that there were pink bubbles around the two of them.

Cui looked at the two of them and was happy for her daughter.

After being happy, Lu Tianli asked where the wedding would be held.

Although the new house has been built, it is empty inside.

If you want to make furniture, it takes time.

Lu Tianming and County Magistrate Yao can only stay in Baoshan Town for about five days this time, which is completely insufficient time.

When Lu Tianming heard his question, he also talked about his plans.

Since all their friends and relatives were in Baoshan Town, they planned to hold a banquet here first.

After everything is done here, we will return to the city and then go through the formal ceremony.

The two families already had houses allocated to them by King Huai.

When everyone heard this, they were very happy for them.

After a lively chat, Lu Tianli saw that the two families were tired from the journey, so he let them disperse and rest first.

The two families slept until almost evening. Seeing that Lu Tianming was in good condition, Lu Qingqing asked about the news of his fellow apprentices.

This time, only Lu Tianming's family and Yao County Magistrate's family came back, but no one else was seen.

When Lu Tianming heard this, he remembered the news he had heard before and was worried that Lu Qingqing and Master Yan would worry.

They just said they were busy with training and had no time to come back.

In fact, Lu Qingqing's six senior brothers were selected into the special forces team specially approved by King Huai.

Now, the Sixth Battalion is leading the way in killing Japanese pirates along the coast!

As for the rest of the people, except for Wang Dashan who joined the military camp, Lu Shufu was still studying in the school.

Lu Qingqing didn't notice anything unusual, and after chatting with Lu Tianming for a while, she brought the news to her master and mistress, whom she had always been concerned about.

Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lu Tianming came back, many elders from Baoshan Town came to visit him.

They saw that Lu Tianming and County Magistrate Yao had more and more official authority on their faces, and their words and actions became more polite and humble.

During the conversation, Lu Tianming mentioned that his daughter was getting married, and took the opportunity to invite several elders of the clan to come over, and they hurriedly agreed.

In addition to inviting several elders from Baoshan Town, this time's wedding banquet also invited the county magistrate, Xu Wenshan, Shang Mingzhi and Lord Qi from Yining County.

The women from each family were a little frightened when they learned that so many important people were coming.

Finally, it was the old village chief’s wife who said that Tianming is now an official, so there is no need for everyone to be so panicked.

After these words were spoken, the women in each family reacted.

Soon, the time came for the wedding banquet.

On this day, men and women from every family got up early to help.

The men went to Baoshan Town to borrow tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks, etc., while the women helped pick vegetables and cook.

Wang Dahe and his father were responsible for slaughtering the two fat pigs that Lu Tianming had bought from the county yesterday.

The women were busy until the end of the Si hour before they finally prepared all the food.

The level of this banquet is more than one level higher than the one in Linshan Village.

Apart from anything else, there was plenty of meat.

The two fat pigs were distributed to the villagers, except for the large intestines which were too troublesome to clean.

The remaining meat was all served on the table.

Not to mention that everyone in the team was stunned, even the elders of Baoshan Town were secretly exclaiming in surprise when they saw so much meat!

When the food was first served, everyone grabbed a few chopsticks.

But when the women in the kitchen saw that a table was short of food, they would quickly fill a large bowl of sauerkraut, pork and vermicelli stew and serve it to them.

Seeing that there was guaranteed to be enough food, everyone was afraid of being laughed at, so they were a little reserved in eating.

In the entire venue, the table with the most elegant dining manners was the county magistrate's table.

The county magistrate and Lord Qi have seen a lot of the world, and their table manners are very elegant.

The two chatted with Lu Tianming and County Magistrate Yao while leisurely drinking and eating.

Xu Wenshan and Shang Mingzhi, who were accompanying them, were a little reserved at first because they were sitting at the same table with the county magistrate.

But when he smelled the overbearing aroma of meat, Xu Wenshan's stomach, which was starved of oil, began to rumble.

The sound was quite loud, attracting the attention of the county magistrate.

Xu Wenshan felt that he had lost face in front of the county magistrate and his face turned red with shame.

But after feeling embarrassed, he decided to just give up and eat as much as he wanted.

Next to him, Shang Mingzhi saw Xu Wenshan eating with his mouth full of oil, and felt that he could not suffer any loss, so he also started to eat with ease.
