Chapter 79 I lost my face!
According to the customs of the times, when the man comes to send a marriage letter, the woman's family should arrange for young men of the same generation as the new son-in-law to welcome him outdoors. After entering the yard, the woman's uncle came forward to welcome him twice, welcomed the man's new son-in-law and letter envoy into the main hall where the incense table was placed, first ask for a bowl of water, and then the man's messenger opened the letter envoy with a knife prepared on the incense table in front of the woman and the guests, and recited the intermarriage letter in public to show the intention of informing him. Then the woman's family accepted the betrothal gift, arranged the reception letter envoy, the new son-in-law, and others. Then the woman's family would send back a "wedding letter" when the man was about to leave after drinking, and sent the man's family to come according to the family's economic situation, whether it was ready for clothing or satin. At this point, the entire process of reporting the marriage letter was officially completed.
But today the house of the poisonous widow did not follow the normal path. It would be fine if there was no one outside the door. Now they all entered the yard, and no woman's uncle came forward, and they hung the two of them alive.
The reason why Zhang Xiangwen was trying to come today was to join in the fun for Tang Que. Now that he encountered such a situation, he was very embarrassed. This kid was the only male in his previous generation. He was used to being spoiled at home. He had eaten such a frustration there? If he had been with his own affairs, he would have been angry for a long time. Unfortunately, this was Tang Que's business, so no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could only endure it. Tolerance was tolerate it, but his face had long turned red with his stiff hands.
Zhang Xiangwen was not feeling well, and Tang Que felt even worse. The new son-in-law was treated like this for the first time when he came to the house. No one could live without him, let alone Zhang Xiangwen was still following him. This made him lose all his face.
His heart was overturned. Zhang Xiangwen, holding the gift letter, turned red because no one paid attention to him. At the same time, a faint flush appeared on Tang Que's face. He endured it and endured it until his fingertips clenched the bleeding marks in his palms. Tang Que finally held back and left without turning around.
The girl's family did not accept the gift letter, which means that Tang Que's identity as a son-in-law has not been recognized, and it is not his turn to speak in this occasion.
Tang Que and Zhang Xiangwen were like this, and Li Yingwan, who came in first, could imagine that no matter how high-quality powder produced in Rui Xiangju of Dijing could not conceal her pale face, "Dad, mother, what do you mean?" The woman's tone was as cold as her face.
Tang Que followed the woman's gaze and looked into the crowd in the corridor. He saw that Li Yingwan's parents were a pair of 60 years old. The couple was ordinary like millions of old people of the same age. There was nothing surprising. Judging from their appearance, they shouldn't be people who could do such a heartless thing!
When the old couple heard the woman's question, they said nothing. The one who answered was a man in his thirties. His eyebrows were vaguely similar to Li Yingwan. I thought it was her brother, but although this person looked like Zhou Zheng, there was a layer of oily smell on his face.
"Girl, don't be upset." Sure enough, Tang Que guessed correctly. This man was the woman's brother. Although this person was cold to Tang Que, he was very intimate when talking to Li Yingwan, and even felt a little flattering. "If you don't have a good gift, please accept it now. Some things must be explained to Tang... Tang Cheng first. This was agreed by his family yesterday. In short, whether it is his parents or brothers and sisters-in-law, it is for your own good."
"What should I discuss when I came back yesterday, I must wait until now and it's hard to be a man? Li Yinggui, if you don't tell me about this, I won't be like you from now on." Li Yingwan is not angry? She really didn't expect that after she finally worked on Tang Cheng's parents, her family would slapp her in the face so heavily. Fortunately, Tang Cheng's parents didn't come. Otherwise, the woman would really not know what kind of face she would meet her parents-in-law in the future. She gritted her teeth and asked questions. Her eyes were not on Li Yinggui, but secretly glanced over to look at Tang Que's face.
To be honest, she is really afraid. After knowing each other for more than a year, she doesn't know Tang Que's temperament. Today, she is so neglected by her family. If he really pulls his feet, he will leave...
Unexpectedly, my sister would make such ruthless words. Li Yinggui's face turned red in front of everyone, but he really didn't dare to compete with the woman. He pulled his thin lips twice and turned his head and said, "Dad, mother, look..."
After looking at the eldest son Li Yinggui, who looked embarrassed, then looked at the younger son Li Yingsheng who was banging at her side. Li Zhao reached out and pushed the hands of the two daughters-in-law who were pulling her clothes behind her back and said, "Second daughter, that's your brother!" After saying this, the old lady waved to Tang Qu and the others and said, "Don't stand, go to the wing room first to talk."
After saying that, the old lady did not wait for the woman and Tang Que to speak, so she had to walk to the east wing first.
"I'm not allowed to enter the main hall yet. Brother, this is a bad person!" Zhang Xiangwen couldn't help but snorted coldly at the end. However, although he wanted to go with him to listen to what the Li family was going to say, he was led to the other side of the room for tea. Even Li Yingwan also went around two women around him and wanted to pull her to the back house to talk.
After all this, Tang Que's initial anger was suppressed. Now he really wanted to hear what the Li family wanted to say to him with Li Yingwan on his back, but he didn't refuse and followed Li Yinggui to the east wing.
There were seven people entering the east wing, including the old couple of the Li family, and two other old men who were called second uncles by Li Yinggui and third uncles were all around 60 years old. In addition, Tang Que and Li Yinggui, as well as Li Yingsheng, the younger brother of Li Yingsheng.
He is worthy of being a mother. Li Yingsheng and Li Yinggui not only look like each other, but also look like that smooth-looking person.
However, what was beyond Tang Que's surprise was that the famous Zhao Laohu was not seen in the Li family today, and I don't know if he was tripped up by the affairs in the yamen.
Tang Que thought to himself, and said nothing, and after coming in and sitting down, he looked at Li Yinggui. He also understood the current situation. The woman's family is now in charge of the eldest son, and 99% of the cold treatment he suffered today was his arrangement.
After the seven people sat down, Li Yinggui brought tea to everyone while holding the tea cup, coughed twice and said, "Tang Cheng, right? I'm neglected today! It's not that my parents and brothers are willing to do this. There are some things that you have to discuss with you in advance, so that you won't really make a relative make everyone look bad in the face, right?"
Since the Li family treated him like this, Tang Que said nothing extra and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Ahem, then I'll say it." Li Yinggui put down the tea cup and sat directly opposite Tang Que. "Actually, there are only two things I want to discuss with you. The first is to support the elderly. The so-called raising children to prevent elderly people. In other words, the two elders should be supported by my brother and I, but I am not afraid that Tang will make you laugh. Our brothers have been not very lucky in recent years, and it is really not easy to support the family. The girl feels sorry for us, so for more than ten years, she has been paying for the elderly. Now she wants to remarry. According to the old folk saying, it is to marry and follow the husband. The first thing we want to discuss is, can you follow the old examples of the support of the two elders in the future?"
"It turned out to be for money!" Tang Que said in his heart that the two brothers Li Yinggui were white and fat, and they were wearing bright clothes. Their satin shirts were worth at least 400 yuan. If they were dressed like this, they would not be able to afford to be old? What a joke, how much can two old people eat in a meal? If Tang Que was just angry about this person who wanted to become his brother-in-law, he would be a little contempt now. Filial piety is the first priority. A person is not even willing to offer his biological parents. Do you still expect his character to be better?
Tang Que picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not say he would continue to support him, nor did he say no, but said lightly: "What about the second one? Let's say it together."
