Chapter 223: Inspiring Thoughts
It is not difficult to let two people skip the step of exchanging love tokens and go directly to worship heaven and earth to get married. If they are willing and happy with each other, it is not difficult to say.
It’s better than letting two people with no emotional foundation to achieve this level, and still have to maintain a good marriage, which is a headache.
Liu Xun felt that he only needed to convince Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan's character can be exploited.
Liu Xun did not wait until the next day, but quickly found Tang Yuan.
This boy has returned to his home. When sending I Shulan back, he emphasized to I Shulan’s parents that it was best not to let Shulan run around during this period to avoid being picked by the guests.
He also used temple blessings to serve the Peach God, secretly reminding Ishulan’s parents.
After hearing this, the two honest middle-aged couples felt that what Tang Yuan said made sense.
Everyone in the village knows that their daughter is interested in Tang Yuan. If she is favored by a guest and sleeps with her, it will be considered unclean to serve the Peach God, and her daughter will definitely be ostracized by the village.
So the couple deliberately injured one's waist and the other's leg, leaving I Shulan to look after her parents at home.
Ishulan didn’t know that this was a trick done by her parents. She was so worried that her eyes were swollen from crying.
Seeing their daughter sad, the couple couldn't bear it, but they still didn't tell the truth.
They think this is for their daughter’s benefit.
When Liu Xun came to Tang Yuan's house, Tang Yuan happened to be playing with wooden tools in the yard, which should be farm tools for threshing millet.
"What's wrong, guest?" Tang Yuan, who had already taken precautions, could not hide his smile. The young man couldn't hide his pride, but he also realized that something was wrong, and then he slightly restrained his smile and asked in a polite manner.
Liu Xun smiled and nodded, looking at Tang Yuan but saying nothing.
Tang Yuan realized that he had been neglected and invited him into the courtyard to talk.
Liu Xun entered the yard and suddenly sighed: "Today I accidentally mentioned Miss Shulan to the village chief, but the village chief actually said that I wanted Miss Shulan to sleep with me."
When Tang Yuan heard this, what else could he do?
He immediately put on a hostile look, but heard Liu Xun continue: "But I refused, but the village chief seemed to insist on it."
"I'll go find the village chief!" Tang Yuan gasped, Like an angry leopard cub: "Absolutely not! "
Liu Xun grabbed him, shook his head and said: "The village chief has a high status, you can't change his mind, but I have a way."
Silly boy. , I really asked you to go see the village chief, why don’t you reveal your secret?
Tang Yuan suddenly calmed down. Yes, the village chief always said the same thing in the village. Sometimes even the temple blessings couldn't influence him. He probably couldn't convince him.
Therefore, Tang Yuan placed his hope on Liu Xun: "What can you do? And why do you help me?"
Tang Yuan did not believe Shulan's appearance, but Liu Xun was not moved.
Liu Xun stroked his palms and laughed and said: "I saw that you and Miss Shulan were in love with each other, so naturally I didn't want to ruin it."
"As for the solution, you should be at the table. I heard you say that I’m not a good wife!”
Seeing Liu Xun’s betrayal, Tang Yuan threw down the wooden weapon in his hand and frowned: “Say it!”
Liu Xun smiled in his eyes and raised a finger: "Just follow this, I have a way."
"You can marry Miss Shulan, and Miss Shulan will be a wife by then, I said I don’t want to. I don’t think the village chief will force her.”
“Now, Miss Shulan is still unmarried. Even if I refuse, there’s no way the village chief will force her.”
Liu Xun. Those words seemed to open a door in Tang Yuan's heart.
Yes, I am married to Shulan. If this guest is not a good wife, isn’t it safe?
"Hahaha!" Tang Yuan laughed out loud with excitement. He held Liu Xun's hand and said gratefully, "What a great idea you have!" Liu Xun patted Tang Yuan's shoulder, with a somewhat inexplicable smile.
Tang Yuan couldn't even take care of his life, so he immediately ran to I Shulan's house to talk about getting married.
His parents died young, and Taoyuan Village didn't use the marriage proposal gift of three letters and six betrothals. If he saw something right, all he had to do was go to the girl's house and talk to her parents to see if they agreed.
Hearing Tang Yuan's intention, Ishulan's father almost jumped out of bed in shock. His movements were too large, which aggravated the injury to his injured waist.
Ishulan complained angrily to Tang Yuan, but upon hearing Tang Yuan's intention, her heart felt warm and her face turned red with embarrassment.
The man who injured his waist was a little reluctant on his face. Although he knew that his daughter liked this boy, he felt a little resistant when the boy wanted to hump the cabbage he had raised.
Tang Yuan was smart and saw his future father-in-law's hesitation, so he told him what happened to the guest.
What Tang Yuan said was basically similar to Liu Xun's suggestion.
After hearing this, Yi Shulan’s father thought it made sense, but he still hesitated. In the end, he couldn’t stand his wife’s worries and nagging, and when he saw his daughter’s face glowing red, he had to sigh and said, “Okay. ”
Tang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "Uncle, why don't you fix a date and the village chief urges the guests, just in case the guests like Shulan"
Tang Yuan misrepresented Liu Xun's attitude. Liu Xun's words were changed in order to urge the man to set a wedding date.
Ishulan’s father nodded solemnly and immediately said: “We are an ordinary family. Even the wedding of the village chief’s son does not have many customary rituals, so we don’t pay much attention to etiquette.”
“ Let’s do it tomorrow!”
The future father-in-law solemnly set the wedding date, but Tang Yuan’s eyes looked very unhappy.
I still can’t let go that my cabbage was stolen!
After Tang Yuan received his father-in-law's affirmation, he immediately turned around with joy, held I Shulan's hands, and even his voice was a little trembling: "Lan'er, did you hear it? We can get married tomorrow! ”
Ishulan is a girl. Although she is innocent and innocent, she is naturally very shy when it comes to such things.
She shrank her head, her face was as red as a blush, and she said "hmm" in a voice as loud as a mosquito, which was regarded as complying with her lover's words.
Tang Yuan smiled stupidly and touched his head, looking at I Shulan with eyes that became more and more intoxicated.
When the village chief Zhang Zhonggui learned that Tang Yuan and Yi Shulan were getting married, he accidentally pulled off a few beards.
I Shulan is the successor of this generation of temple blessings and the candidate for the next generation of temple blessings. When she gets married, the village chief is quite concerned.
The village chief did not expect that Tang and Yi got married because he was afraid that he would force the girl to sleep with Liu Xun.
The village chief ordered people to send congratulations. Although Tang Yuan hated the village chief, he was getting married to Ishulan tomorrow. These were things of the past. He naturally forgave the village chief generously. Of course I have to accept the congratulations.
The Tang and Yi families began to prepare for their wedding tomorrow, and everyone in the village also went to help.
Liu Xun excused himself that the newlyweds were getting married tomorrow and they still had to follow the proper etiquette. He once again refused to sleep with him.
The village chief was a little dissatisfied, but since Liu Xun said so, he would grant one more day of grace. After tomorrow, Liu Xun would no longer be able to refuse!
Early the next morning, this isolated Taoyuan Village became very lively.
A large group of children ran from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, scattering flower petals in their hands and shouting auspicious words such as the newlyweds growing old together.
The adults were busy preparing the wedding banquet.
Liu Xun was also invited as a guest.
The wedding ceremony in Taoyuan is very simple. It is chosen in the Tang family, and the couple bows three times.
Because Tang Yuan's parents died young, I Shulan's parents sat on their parents' seats, waiting for the two newlyweds to bow.
