Yesterday, I invited the neighbors from the paper doll shop, but the neighbors there were worried that their business was too unlucky and didn't want to come over to make people annoying. They simply asked the pillars to bring the gift money, but no one came. Han Xiufeng also

I thought about going over to give some wedding candies later, but I didn't expect that Pan Er had a better idea, so he agreed: "Brother Pan has thought carefully, so that's it."

Zhuzi was the happiest when he returned home to prepare a banquet. He stood up immediately and said, "Fourth brother, why don't I go back to Si Niang and the others to help arrange the banquet. Whether we have wine or vegetables, we have to go to the streets to buy them, as well as pots, pans, ladles, tables, chairs and benches."

Go and borrow it quickly."

"We'll go back after eating and taking lunch."

"If I don't eat, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

"Okay, you go back first, we'll go there after lunch."

After watching Zhu Zhu go away, Pan Er got down to business again: "Fourth brother, I asked about it. It's not easy to go over the Qinling Mountains and from Shaanxi to the capital. We have a lot of luggage. I think it's better to take the waterway."

"That's what I think too." Han Xiufeng subconsciously looked at the east wing, touched his chin and said, "Otherwise, Qin'er and I will go back to Zhuzi's house after lunch, and you can go to Shenxianfang to deliver the banknotes first, and then go back to Zhuzi's house.

Let’s go to Chaotianmen Wharf and find Jiang Liu, asking him to help us hire a speedboat to take us to Yichang. He is familiar with those boatmen and knows which boatmen are reliable, so it is easier to negotiate than if we are self-sufficient.”

"Okay, I'll go after lunch." Pan Er agreed immediately. After thinking about it, he asked puzzledly: "Fourth brother, why do you only go to Yichang? How about letting the boatman take us directly to the capital?"

Upon hearing this, he knew that he had never traveled far away. Han Xiufeng peeled some peanuts and explained: "We are here all with Sichuan ships. Whether those shipmen send people or transport goods eastward, they only go as far as Yichang, and they are not willing to leave any further east.

First, we don’t know the water conditions, and secondly, we can’t carry people or cargo when we turn back east. Not only us, but we also have to change ships to transport Yunnan copper to Yichang.”

………

The neighbors did not expect that Han Si would miss them even after he became so successful, and even brought his new daughter-in-law back to serve wine. Everyone who could help came to help, and those who could not help or intervened would rush to tell each other, and they would praise everyone they met.

Han Si attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he is upright and open-minded.

There were many neighbors to invite, but the paper figurine shop was very small. There was no room for it in the house, so we had to put seven borrowed Eight Immortals tables outside.

Qin'er had never been to such a spooky place, and was a little scared. But if she stayed outside, she would be watched by the neighbors just like before. She felt embarrassed, so she could only bite the bullet and walked into the paper shop and hid upstairs.

In the attic where Han Xiufeng had lived for many years, he opened the window a crack and peeked below.

Han Xiufeng wanted to say hello to the neighbors, but he really couldn't take care of her.

Fortunately, Aunt Guan arrived in time and went upstairs to talk to her.

The two of them talked about interesting things about Han Xiufeng when he first entered the city. Time passed quickly and it was getting dark before they knew it.

Aunt Guan was a little hungry and was about to go down to get something to eat when suddenly there was a noise at the entrance of the alley. She opened the window and took a look and couldn't help but laugh: "Qin'er, Zhuzi's mother is back!"

It is said that an ugly daughter-in-law is afraid of meeting her parents-in-law, but in fact, a handsome daughter-in-law is also afraid of meeting her parents-in-law. Thinking that Zhuzhu Niang has come back from the walking horse, her father-in-law and mother-in-law should also come, Qin'er was a little nervous, and went to the window and asked: "Where are they?"

"The one in front who is smiling from ear to ear is..." The more Aunt Guan looked, the more something was wrong. She exclaimed: "Hey! Why haven't you seen Si Wazi's father and mother? Who is that girl behind Zhu Zhu Niang? I've never seen him before.

!Qin'er, do you recognize it?"

Qin'er looked around and saw a country girl with her hair in a bun, wearing common clothes, her head bowed shyly, carrying a flower cloth parcel and shyly following a woman, and a country girl in her mid-thirties.

The man was walking along with two baskets and looking around. He was too busy watching the excitement and almost tripped over his feet. Fortunately, there were many neighbors who came to have a wedding banquet, so he was helped by a neighbor with quick hands and eyes.

"I don't recognize it either."

"I know who it is!" Aunt Guan looked at Zhuzhu Niang's beaming expression and couldn't help laughing: "I knew she wouldn't go away in vain, but I didn't expect that she was so shrewd that she actually abducted the daughter-in-law who had never been married.

Already."

"Aunt, what on earth are you talking about?" Qin'er asked curiously.

"It's definitely true. That girl is Han Yucai's third daughter, Yaomeier, who is the cousin of your fourth son. Han Yucai is dead, and your fourth son has the final say in the affairs of the Han family. He will make the decision to marry Yaomeier.

It’s just that what Zhuzhu’s mother did today was so ridiculous, she just brought Yao Mei’er back like this without fear of being laughed at.”

Qin'er thought that it turned out to be Han Si's cousin, the first real Han family member she had seen since marrying into the Han family, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

As expected, Zhuzi was about to burst into laughter. While scolding the neighbors who made fun of him, he hurriedly led his mother and the village girl into the paper figurine shop. Han Xiufeng looked surprised and pulled the man who had just put down his basket.

On the other hand, I don’t know what I’m asking.

"Mom, Yaomei'er, the bride is upstairs, and Aunt Guan is also there."

"Okay, okay, I'll go up and have a look."

Aunt Guan had never seen such a funny thing. She walked to the door and looked at Zhuzhu Niang who was climbing upstairs and asked: "Sister-in-law, what are you causing trouble? Don't come up in a hurry. Let's make it clear first. What is going on today?"

Is it Siwazi who serves the wine, or your family?"

"It's the same. I watched the fourth child grow up, just like my self-sufficient child. He serves wine just like my family does." Zhuzhu Niang grinned, then turned around and said: "Yaomei'er, hurry up and call me.

Man, this is your Aunt Guan."

Yaomei'er came to the city for the first time, and she came from her husband's family. She was nervous and shy. She hesitated for a long time before timidly saying: "Aunt Guan."

"Yaomei'er, right? I've always heard your father talk about you before. This is the first time I've seen you today. Come on, come up quickly and meet your sister-in-law first." Aunt Guan knew at a glance that Yao Meier was timid and ran over to her.

He put his arms around Yaomei'er and pulled Yao Meier into the attic with great enthusiasm.

Seeing Qin'er, Zhuzi's mother was particularly happy. She rummaged through the box and found two jade bracelets, one for Qin'er and the other for Yaomei'er, which made the two of them feel embarrassed. Facing Qin'er, who looked like a fairy,

Yao Meier was nervous and a little ashamed, so she stood aside and did not dare to say a word.

"Yaomei'er, don't be afraid, sit next to me." Compared with Qin'er, Zhuzhu's mother loved her daughter-in-law more. She pulled Yao Meier to sit next to her and said happily: "Qin'er, Si Wazi's uncle

Didn't you just leave? Yaomei'er has to stay at home to observe filial piety and won't go out originally. The person who heard the message said that you two are going to get married, but there are only two people in her family, she and her mother, there must be one, so she was given to me like this.

Here it comes."

"Really? Is it a good journey? Are you tired?"

When my sister-in-law asked, it would be bad if she didn't reply. Yao Meier took a peek at Zhuzi Niang and said in a mosquito-like voice, "It's a good walk, I'm not tired."

"I wonder why Yaomei'er came here so quickly. Since she's here, she'll stay a few more days." Aunt Guan took over the conversation, turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't Si's father and mother come?"

This matter needs to be explained clearly. Zhuzhu's mother took Qin'er's hand and said with a grimace: "Qin'er, listen to me. It's such a big event for you to get married. The fourth son's father and his mother should come by rights. But they are honest and good-natured.

I have never been to the city, and have been farming at home these years. I heard that your father is working as an errand in the government office, and they are a little afraid, both for your father and for embarrassing the fourth child."

After confirming that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were not here, Qin'er was not unhappy but relaxed and said quickly: "There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Everyone in the country is like this," Zhuzi Niang patted her hand, and continued: "But Han Da is here, the eldest brother of Si Wazi. They know that you are getting married, and they also know that Si Wazi is going to the capital soon, and there is nothing to give to the family.

, I just picked two baskets of chili peppers, all freshly dried, enough for you to eat for a while."

It doesn't make sense that I would give my son this little thing when he gets married.

Aunt Guan was afraid that Qin'er would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said: "Vegetables should be used as food and sea pepper as clothing! Sea pepper is a good thing, especially the sea pepper from Zomagang. Siwazi brought it to my family before, and it is spicy and fragrant when cooking with it!"

Qin'er had known that the Han family was poor and had nothing to gain, so how could she take this to heart? Just as she was about to echo a few words, Zhuzi's mother suddenly said: "Qin'er, I heard that your father bought you a home in the city?"

"Well, it's not far from my home." Qin'er nodded.

Zhuzhu Niang was thinking about this on the way back. She looked back at Yao Meier, then at Aunt Guan, and then took Qiner's hand and said, "This dowry is incredible. The fourth son can marry you after eight lifetimes of training."

It’s such a blessing. It’s just that he has to go to the capital as soon as he gets married, and he doesn’t know when he will come back. It’s not a big deal to leave you home alone!”

Aunt Guan thought to herself that she really didn't know how to persuade Qin'er. As if she suddenly remembered something, she smiled and said, "Qin'er, actually this matter is easy to handle."

"What can be done?" Qin'er asked puzzledly.

"Don't you have a self-sufficient house? Why don't you tell Yao Mei'er not to go back and stay in the city and move over to keep you company! When Si Wazi goes to the capital, it's inevitable that someone will gossip when you are alone at home. Over time,
