Chapter 9310 The bride worships her ancestors
Lijia Village.
With enthusiasm and endless expectations, Xiu Xiu married into Lijiacun in a carriage.
Growing up, she has seen countless girls getting married. To be honest, she has never known how envious she has been since she was sensible!
I envy them for dressing beautifully and festively, and envy them for wearing red hijabs.
I envy them to be supported by their beloved wives and held in high esteem by all the stars. I envy them to have tall and handsome grooms. I envy their bridal chambers. I envy them to have their own separate little room with the husband they like. As soon as the door is closed, I want to What are you doing, we are together, we are in front of the flowers and under the moon...
Moreover, not only will the parents of both parties not interfere or stop it, but they will also give their blessings!
She longed for the feeling of being a married woman, and she looked forward to the new life that was about to begin...
The carriage moved forward steadily, and she was excited, excited, and a little bit sitting in the carriage. Nervous and shy.
She was already imagining entering the bridal chamber later. When the red hijab was lifted, all the relatives and friends nearby were blessing and joking. She felt that she and Li Wei today were just like those on the stage. The female actors and actresses who sing the roles are the focus of the crowd...
"Sit tight, bride, we will arrive at the entrance of Lijia Village soon!"
Mother-in-law Xi's reminder came from outside the car window.
Xiuxiu quickly covered the Xipa on her head, then sat upright, waiting for the next time Xi Pozi spoke.
The next time he spoke was to pick her up from the carriage.
With the turning of the carriages, horses, and wooden wheels, as well as the footsteps of those in front and back sending off relatives and welcoming each other, talking and laughing, everyone soon arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village.
Xiu Xiu heard very noisy sounds outside, whispers from all directions, and the voices of women and children.
Xiu Xiu clenched the wedding ball in her hand a little nervously. She knew that there must be a large group of villagers from Lijia Village outside who came to watch the fun.
"The bride is invited to get out of the car, enter the ancestral hall, and worship her ancestors!"
The happy mother-in-law is singing and drinking loudly outside.
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was abandoned, and a familiar big hand came in.
Xiuxiu heard Li Wei's voice: "Daughter-in-law, come down and I will help you enter the ancestral hall."
Every village has its own rules. In Changping Village, it is not necessary for a new daughter-in-law to marry. Went into the ancestral hall to worship.
Because Changping Village is a large village with mixed surnames. There are more than a dozen surnames in a village. The Luo family and Lao Yang’s family are the main ones behind the ancestral hall. Other surnames in the village have small ones. The big ones raised funds to build it. ancestral hall.
Every surname sends the ancestral tablets of their own clan to the ancestral hall for worship during the New Year and festivals.
Of course, the ancestral tablets of the Luo family and Lao Yang family are firmly in the C position.
Lijiacun is different.
In the huge Lijia Village, all people have the surname Li, and the ancestors of the Li family are also enshrined in the ancestral hall.
The villagers in Lijia Village go up several generations, and almost all of them are relatives.
Lijiacun has its own rules. The first thing a new daughter-in-law does when she gets married is to enter the ancestral hall to worship the Li family’s ancestors.
So that the ancestors know that he or she has another bride under his knees.
When girls from Lijia Village get married and go to other villages, they will also come to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and inform them that their descendants are about to get married.
Before Xiu Xiu got married, the matchmaker had informed Yang Yongjin, Cao Bamei and Xiu Xiu himself about these rules in advance.
So at this moment, Xiuxiu was holding Li Wei's hand and carefully got off the carriage. Because the hippa was always covering her head, her sight was blocked.
She could only see a small space under Xipa and her slowly walking toes as she moved.
Fortunately, Li Wei was holding her hand, and on the other side, Mrs. Xi also rushed over to support her.
On the way to the ancestral hall, Xiuxiu clearly felt that both sides of the road were filled with villagers who came to watch the excitement, and the sound of laughter and talking was endless.
There was a lot of noise all around. When the sound of the firecrackers subsided, the sound Xiuxiu heard most was the exclamation of the villagers watching the dowry...
These exclamations and sounds of envy , in fact, it was all expected by Xiu Xiu.
As the daughter of the old Yang family, she has absolute confidence in her dowry.
Moreover, it was because Sister Qing'er temporarily reduced her dowry. Otherwise, her dowry would have been richer and more attractive, enough to make the big girls and young wives in Lijiacun envious and jealous until their facial features were distorted!
The waiting party arrived at the door of Li Wei's house. Those relatives and friends of Li Wei's family who came to congratulate him must be even more envious.
Then the seven aunts and eight aunts came together to kneel and lick their new wife!
"There is a threshold, be careful where you step." Mrs. Xi's reminder came to her ears, and Xiuxiu quickly recovered her mind and walked carefully.
Entering the ancestral hall, Li Zheng, the new leader of Lijia Village, and several village elders were already waiting in the ancestral hall.
The large triangular copper furnace in the ancestral hall was already burning with thick smoke.
In front of the ancestral tablets of the Li family, there are all kinds of melons, fruits, snacks, fish and meat tributes, and two big red candles as thick as a child's arms are burning with tears.
Li Jia stepped forward to talk to the new Li Zheng and several village elders who took the initiative to show their kindness, with gratitude all over his face.
However, the other party didn't seem to appreciate Li Jia's favor very much, and he seemed to be businesslike.
Li Jia understood that since his younger brother Li Yi caused such an unbearable incident, their Li family in the village has long been nailed to a rack of shame.
According to rumors, several village elders, as well as Li Zhengli, are all conspiring together and want to get rid of their two brothers!
The reason why we opened the ancestral hall now is for Xiaowei and his wife to come in and burn incense so that the new daughter-in-law can recognize her ancestors.
All this is mainly for the sake of the old Yang family and the old Luo family...
Because the bride is the daughter of the old Yang family, these people dare not offend her.
Li Jia quietly glanced at the long queue of dowries outside the ancestral hall, and straightened his waist subconsciously.
Hum, even if my brother is temporarily in jail, with Xiu Xiu marrying into his family, our Li family will have someone to rely on.
When next year’s lean season comes, or when the New Year follows, you people who are short of food and clothing, won’t you still have the shamelessness to come to us to borrow food and money?
How awesome is this guy!
In such a delicate atmosphere, under the auspices of several village elders, Li Wei and Xiuxiu finally completed the worship ceremony for their ancestors.
Then, the groom led his ex-wife out of the ancestral hall and walked straight to Li Wei's house along the big path at the entrance of the village.
Xiuxiu was held by Li Wei all the way, feeling warm in her hands, and her heart was filled with sweetness and satisfaction.
She has never walked such a sweet road. She hopes that this road will not have an end. Just like this, she will walk all the way amidst the rising and falling sounds around her until the end of her life...
"It's here, the bride is stepping over the brazier!"
