Chapter Twenty-Nine
Cheng Lingsu and Chen Yong made a wish in front of the Buddha that they would be united forever and have a happy marriage for a hundred years. The big Buddha was wearing a shoulder-shaped cassock, with simple and unpretentious clothes, and circles of concentric and round clothes, which made the avatar look extremely vivid and holy.
The whole Buddha statue is like a wise and kind middle-aged woman, which makes people respect but not afraid. It seems that when casting this Buddha statue, it has perfectly integrated the rich feelings and open minds, so she shows such great artistic charm.
According to the monks in the temple, the statue of the Great Lushe was repaired by donating money to the empress Wu Zetian at that time, so the main statue of Sakyamuni was rewarded with a female face. Moreover, Wu Zetian was nearly 40 years old at that time. I wonder if it was because of this reason that Wu Zetian later became the only Empress in China...
The two of them carefully examined the nine Buddha statues, including Kashyapa, Ananda, the two Bodhisattvas and the four heavenly kings. Together with the Lord Buddha Lusherna, they formed a group of group images with a very symmetry and texture.
After donating incense money in Fengxian Temple, the two walked hand in hand and went home together. It seemed that the way back was very easy. They walked on the streets and started playing.
Along the way, the two of them lost resistance to the street-selling and the food in the shop. However, if they saw something delicious and fun, they would buy it at will, taste the food here, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the street, which was really relaxing and enjoyable.
Soon he arrived at the door of the mansion where Guan Lin lived. Chen Yong was holding various food boxes of all sizes in his hand, just like a stupid son-in-law who returned to his parents' home. Cheng Lingsu pursed his lips and laughed. This also caused the villagers on the roadside to look at him sideways. Everyone was talking about who was his children, and they wanted to have a happy event?
The two of them didn't mind and hugged the door back home. This time the one who opened the door was the kind-hearted mother-in-law. The mother-in-law reached out to take some of the food boxes from Chen Yong's hand, and then turned around and closed the door. When she closed the door, she saw the nearby villagers, and all looked surprised at her home. The old woman had no time to explain, so she turned around and took the two into the living room together.
At this time, Chen Yongzheng was having a great time when his father Ping A Si had a good chat with the old man, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Ping A Si said, "This is my A Fei. He was in love with this Miss Cheng and was in love, but he was not married yet. This is what I, as an elder, worry about the most..."
The old man looked at Cheng Lingsu and asked excitedly: "Dare you ask this girl, what is Nian Fang? Who is the last name? I wonder if I can tell me?"
Cheng Lingsu said a lot of blessings before he stood up and said, "My adoptive father and my elder brother came to the mansion and disturbed my father-in-law. If the elder asked, I should tell you. The little girl is named Cheng Lingsu, and Nian Fang is 17 years old."
The old man said, "I am Cheng Qian, who has lived in Guanlin for a long time. A flood occurred here a few years ago. My family unfortunately lost a daughter and was very worried. When I saw Miss Cheng today, I felt a sense of familiarity in my heart for some reason. I hope the girl will not be surprised."
Cheng Lingsu said, "It's nothing, I'm sorry for my parents all over the world. I wonder how many sons Cheng Yuanwai's family are? Has the lost daughter been found?"
Cheng Qian and Cheng said, "Maybe I should have only one child in my destiny. God has given me two daughters, which is a gift. Poor my little daughter, I lost it when I was eight years old. The couple tried every means, but still couldn't find it. They could only treat it as God and take another one back...
Now my eldest daughter is married to a scholar from the neighboring village, and the couple is in love and has a support. I just feel sorry for my youngest daughter. Over the years, she has been alone outside, lonely, how should she live?"
Cheng Lingsu said: "I have my own personal fate. Maybe your youngest daughter has only been with you and your husband for eight years. I believe that she will live a good life outside now. As long as she has no worries about food and clothing and has a happy life, you and your husband just don't know."
Cheng Yuanwai said: "Thank you, girl, thank you for your good words. I also hope that my youngest daughter can live well outside now, have no worries about food and clothing, and live a wealthy and happy life as you said.
Miss Cheng, I heard that you and Hu Fei are in love and are in love, but they are not married yet. This Ping is very anxious. He can't wait and want to hold his eldest grandson? Since we are destined to be together, I wonder if you are willing to get married in our family?"
Chen Yong hurriedly said, "Zheng Man Wai, we are all guests. We have been staying here for a few days. How can we get married here? How much trouble will this cause you? What's more, Hu Fei, I, can't neglect my second sister so much. The wedding is so sloppy, what will she think?"
Cheng Lingsu replied, "Brother, you and I are in Fengxian Temple today, and my younger sister has already told the Buddha Lushe. In this life, my younger sister is only the elder brother! I, Cheng Lingsu, are only willing to be married to my older brother and never regret it for the rest of my life!
In fact, when I was kowtowing to the Buddha there, my younger sister was already from your Hu family. It doesn’t matter whether the ceremony is held or not. Since this Cheng Man Wai is willing, why not hold a wedding here? Only when I really marry my elder brother can we be more accessible together!”
Chen Yong said, "How can that work? In my heart, you are the most important person to me. How could I not hold a grand wedding ceremony for you? Such a hasty marriage seems so insincere?"
Ping A Si spoke, "My master, since Miss Cheng is determined to marry you, we are going to stop and stop along the way, it is not convenient for you two to look like this?
I originally wanted to find a more suitable place to marry you, which was not easy. Since Cheng Yuanwai was willing to borrow treasure land and marry you two, I think it's pretty good here, so you don't have to shirk it anymore.
Master, have you two said a long time ago? Will I arrange the marriage? I originally wanted to let my husband and Miss Cheng get married in my house, but the matter happened suddenly and I couldn't get what I wanted.
Then today I decided that you two will get married in Cheng Mansion! This is also the consensus reached by me in the afternoon when chatting with Cheng Yuanwai. You don’t have to shirk it. I think it’s pretty good here!”
Chen Yong had to argue, and Cheng Lingsu had already knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Ping Asi and Cheng Yuanwai. Chen Yong had to kneel down and thanking each other. The three old men were all very happy. They had checked the calendar and the time for marriage was suitable for marriage. Three days later is the auspicious day! Finally, everyone decided to let Chen Yong and Cheng Lingsu get married in three days!
It happened to be three days to prepare for the wedding. Although it was a little hasty, it couldn't help but be happy. The three old men were all excited and prepared for the wedding together!
Chen Yong handed over the more than 200 taels of silver on his body to his adopted father Ping A Si. He could trouble the Cheng Gan and his wife for the preparation of the wedding. But he was just outsiders, so he asked them to contribute and work hard, and he had to make money. How could Chen Yong take advantage of this?
Chen Yong and Cheng Lingsu were not ordinary people. The next morning, they drove a carriage and went to Luoyang City to purchase wedding supplies. The two of them didn't mind the eyes of others, not to mention that the three old men had no time to care about them. They were all very busy now and asked relatives and friends in the village to help prepare for all the wedding.
Chen Yong spent almost the money on him, but Cheng Lingsu had a lot of silver in his hands. She handed over the silver and notes to Chen Yong, like a young wife who was thinking about her husband everywhere.
It is easy to do things with money. Chen Yong first chose auspicious wedding clothes for Cheng Lingsu in the eastern capital Luoyang City, and his clothes were also settled by Cheng Lingsu. As for the gold, silver and jewelry, jewelry and jade used for marriage, Cheng Lingsu didn't want anything.
She looked at Chen Yong and said, "Brother, in my heart, you are the best gift in my life. These gold, silver and jewelry, jewelry and jade, are all things outside of your body, and they are not eaten or drunk. What is the use of it? For me, I am enough with you!"
Chen Yong felt very grateful when he looked at such a sensible second sister. He married a virtuous woman, who is as understanding, skillful, gentle and considerate, and well-educated as the second sister, rarely has a woman in the world. What kind of virtue can he be so good at? How can he get the favor of God? What else can he ask for when marrying Cheng Lingsu in this life?
In addition to the auspicious clothes needed on the wedding day, the two bought several suitable sets of clothes for their adoptive father Ping A Si. Cheng Lingsu and Cheng Gan and his wife specially bought two sets of clothes for them, saying that they were used on the wedding day.
The two bought a lot of wedding items, and they were better to do these things by themselves. They couldn't let the three old people worry about everything. Chen Yong knew that this was the second sister's meaning, and he also understood that Uncle Ping's fourth son was old and his health had not recovered yet, so he was not suitable to worry more.
No matter what, the other two old men were outsiders, and they were worried about everything, and they really felt sorry for it. In this way, three days passed in a flash. After everyone's efforts, everything at the wedding was finally arranged.
That morning, the yard outside Cheng Gan Cheng was already decorated with lights and the windows were bright. The wedding reception team came early in the morning, and it was both her parents' home and her husband's house. So the plan was to enter the door early in the morning and marry Cheng Lingsu out of the house.
Cheng Lingsu has already put on his wedding dress. This should be the most beautiful time in Miss Cheng's life. Mrs. Cheng stayed with Cheng Lingsu all night last night, just like she really married her daughter.
Mrs. Cheng taught Cheng Lingsu in detail. When she went to her husband's house, she should be filial to her parents and be responsible to the elderly at home... Cheng Lingsu wanted to tell her the secrets in her heart several times, but in the end, she still held back and didn't say it.
Cheng Gan and his wife's daughter Cheng Shuangyu and son-in-law Wang Qiang and Wang Xiucai have also been here twice. However, the two of them are not friendly to Chen Yong and Cheng Lingsu. This is why Cheng Lingsu talks to her mouth and finally swallows them back.
Early in the morning, he went to the mansion to marry the bride. Cheng Lingsu and Chen Yong thanked Cheng Gan and his wife. Here, Cheng Gan and his wife represented Cheng Lingsu's parents and were all married daughters.
Cheng Gan and his wife prepared a set of jewelry for Cheng Lingsu, which she must wear today. Cheng Lingsu thanked the two elders and wore a jade bracelet, a gold necklace and a gold earring. In this way, Cheng Lingsu hugged the two elders and shed tears and parted, just like she was really marrying a daughter.
The large sedan chair was blowing and beating, and carried Cheng Lingsu out of the Cheng Mansion, and the bustling around Guanlin was lively. At nearly noon, the sedan chair was carried to the Cheng Mansion again, because this was the wedding room of Chen Yong and Cheng Lingsu.
The villagers around all rushed into Cheng's mansion together. Who doesn't love the free lunch? Ping A Si took out all the 200 taels of silver that Chen Yong gave him, just to hold a lively ceremony for the young master.
The wedding was very lively, at least this ceremony has been seen once in a hundred years in this village. Chen Yong and Cheng Lingsu kneeled down to greet his adoptive father Ping A Si, and the two have officially become husband and wife since then. The guests finally waited until the wedding ceremony ended and the banquet started.
Cheng Shuangyu and a few Xi Po escorted Cheng Lingsu into the bridal chamber. They settled Cheng Lingsu with all their strength. When they were cleaning up all this, the jade bracelet worn on Cheng Lingsu's wrist was exposed, which was about to let Cheng Shuangyu see...
