Chapter 889: Sister-in-law Gets Married

The commander of the Imperial Guards who was in charge of protecting the Qin family was: "..."

Are these villagers really brave enough to say that? Don’t they have any fear?

General Bei sent out ten imperial guards to shout to the villagers who were watching from the sentry posts halfway down the street: "Today is the happy day of the Qin and Guan families. Bad people are forbidden to say anything about the celebration!!"

When the villagers heard this and looked at the awe-inspiring imperial guards, they knew what they should be afraid of, so they should shut up and stop saying bad things about the clerk.

But in her heart she was criticizing Guan Shuli: old man, hypocrite, he hasn't proposed marriage for all these years, it turns out he just wants to make a big buck and live off his wife. She despised Guan Shuli.

But they said they learned something!

Boom boom boom!

The drum music was heavy and far-reaching, and Mrs. Kang sang: "The Guan family presented 24 loads of betrothal gifts, asking to marry the daughter of the Qin family; Mr. Qin accepted the betrothal gifts and promised the daughter to marry into the Guan family. The marriage was a happy one, great joy, great beauty, great congratulations!"

Using the singing tone of the Wei Dynasty and echoing the voice of joy, it is said nine times in a row, implying a long and happy life for the newlyweds.

Everyone present followed suit and congratulated: "Great joy, great happiness, great congratulations!"

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, along with Uncle Qin and his wife, as well as the third generation male offspring Qin Xiaogu and Qin Xiaomai, returned the gifts and thanked everyone: "Congratulations!"

He added, "We have prepared some sweet dumplings at home. Please have a bowl of them, guests."

According to the custom in Wei, the betrothal gifts are sent three days before the wedding. The bride's family does not entertain guests with meals but only gives them some sweet food, implying that the couple will have a sweet and beautiful life.

The most a poor family could have was a bucket of 'sugar water' with sugar added.

For wealthier families, the emphasis is on the sugary flavor of the sweet soup.

Grandpa Qin's family prepared a lot of rice dumplings and sweet pies for everyone to eat.

Mr. Jing was the elder of the man's family, so the first bowl of glutinous rice balls was his. Grandpa Qin personally served it to him: "Mr. Jing, please enjoy."

"Great joy." Mr. Jing took the dumplings, ate them all, and said with a smile, "Sweet, sweet, sweet."

Others hurriedly echoed: "The marriage between the Qin and Guan families is sweet!"

Haha, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin laughed heartily. Another big burden in their life was lifted. The two old people were so happy that they brought Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao's families to serve dumplings to the guests.

The sweet pies were distributed to the villagers outside the sentry post by Qin Cunquan and his wife and their servants.

Everyone said a lot of congratulations.

The bustle on Xinda Street lasted until the afternoon, when the crowds died down.

Uncle Qin collapsed in his chair as soon as he got home: "Holding a wedding is so tiring."

Pa, Grandpa Qin slapped him on the head again: "What are you talking about? Before your sister comes home, you are not allowed to say anything bad. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it, Dad, you are really..." Uncle Qin didn't dare to say anything more, but he thought of an idea: "Dad, I have something to do, I have to go out for a while."

He ran away after saying that. Grandpa Qin didn't stop him and hurriedly called out to Little Jiang Erlang: "Erlang, Erlang, hurry up and catch up. Don't let your Uncle Qin get into trouble."

"Hey, Grandpa Qin, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on Uncle Qin." Little Jiang Erlang rushed out of the house to chase Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin went to find Master Xun and told him, "Don't the students dislike the hard work on the construction site? Let them go to the Qin and Guan families to help host the banquet and entertain the guests. Not only can they gain some new experience, but they can also have a banquet to eat."

Xun Lao said "oh", thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's a good idea. When the poor boy comes back, I will talk to him. When I have the confirmation, I will send someone to inform the Qin and Guan families."

"Okay, we have to get it done. My Qin family is short of manpower!" Uncle Qin, the lazy guy, said this before leaving Taifu Restaurant.

The Taifu Restaurant is now very lively, and has been occupied by the chefs, kitchen helpers and workers from the Tianbao Restaurant who were invited by the Guan family.

When the students heard the news, they almost laughed out loud... The Guan family prepared a banquet at their residence, so couldn't they have several meals in a row?

Unfortunately, after Uncle Qin’s proposal, if they want to have a banquet now, they have to work hard.

After having lunch at Guan's house, Master Qiong returned to the restaurant. After hearing Master Xun's proposal, he immediately agreed: "That's right, let's go and tell the students the good news. They will definitely be very happy."

The students were indeed very happy, and a burst of excited shouts could be heard at the medicinal materials workshop construction site.

"Sir, Grandmaster, we are willing to go to the Qin and Guan families to help host the banquet, and we will definitely entertain the guests well!"

"I didn't expect that, the rogue Qin... No, Uncle Qin did something good for us. He's not that bad."

Old Xun and Old Jing looked at each other... Haha, you still don't have enough experience.

"Sir, Master, when are we going to help the Qin and Guan families? Now?" Si Pei asked anxiously. He really couldn't stand this shabby construction site any more!

Not to mention him, even the servants who served him had never done such hard and tiring work!

Si Pei really felt that he had entered a black mine.

Xun Laodao said, "Don't worry, kids. The Qin and Guan families have a wedding on the 26th. You can work on the construction site for another day tomorrow, and then go to the Qin and Guan families in batches on the 25th to help with the banquet."

Whether marrying a man or marrying a daughter, the Wei Dynasty would only hold the wedding banquet on the day of the wedding. There was no custom of inviting some relatives and friends to a banquet the day before.

He deceived her again: "You should know that although the work on the construction site is tiring, it is a great way to train people. You should cherish every moment working on the construction site."

Students: “…”

I don't want to cherish it at all.

But what the master said is very right.

There was no other way but to bow and thank him: "Master, your advice is so valuable. I will learn from you!"

"Well, they are all good kids." Old Xun praised them perfunctorily.

On the 23rd, the students' mental states fluctuated... They felt depressed at the thought of having to work for another day tomorrow, but laughed out loud at the thought of having to work for just one more day before attending a banquet.

Craftsmen: “…”

Help! Are these students going crazy? Will they suddenly throw bricks and stones at us? I'm scared.

Craftsmen Gong and Liu avoided the students and comforted the craftsmen: "Just bear with it for another day. They won't come to the construction site to cause trouble to us the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Besides, when Mr. Qin marries his daughter, he will send us a banquet. Just bear with it for a while."

After hearing this, the craftsmen were also very happy.

But when they turned around, they saw that the students had made mistakes again and they had to clean up the mess, so their faces turned black again.

In short, the atmosphere at the construction site today was very strange. Sometimes everyone was happy, and sometimes everyone wanted to strangle each other.

Captain Zhong and the soldiers: "..."

Terrible!

……

Finally, it was August 25th. The students were very happy. They got up early in the morning and gathered in the lobby of Taifu Restaurant.

Xun Laojiu assigned them tasks: "Those who want to help the Qin family, stand on the left; those who want to help the Guan family, stand on the right."

"I, Si Pei, am going to help the Guan family!" Si Pei said first. He didn't want to go to the ruffian Qin family at all, and judging from the ingredients sent to Taifu Restaurant, the Guan family's wedding banquet would be very good.

Si Feng: "I, Si Feng, also choose Guan family."

Xue Mingyi, Li Zhiyuan, Qu Da and Jia Xiang naturally chose the Qin family.

Kang Lang chose the Guan family... His mother and sister were both in the Guan family. He went to the Guan family to help, so he could see his mother and show his filial piety.

Soon, the 230 students were divided into two groups, each with 115 people, and were led by Ying Zilin to the Qin family.

Zhou Rong led another group of students to help the Guan family.

It was so huge that it scared the villagers again.

When the news spread, it also surprised the guests who were going to the wedding.
