Chapter 17 The Bride Arrives
“Auntie.” Guan Youshuang pulled off her red hijab, stepped out of the car, and interrupted her, “Is this the custom of our village, or did you come up with it yourself?”
< br>When the aunt was told this, her face instantly turned ugly.
She lowered her face and said: "Youshuang! You are not married yet, why are you talking to others? This is of course the custom here. If others don't say anything, when your sister left just now , Zhao Yang gave Xiaojie a hundred yuan."
The people watching the excitement started talking instantly.
"This seems to be called horse money, but there seems to be no fixed amount of more or less."
"This kind of thing still needs to be discussed with the matchmaker in advance."
"It doesn't matter how much money you have. Some give 6 yuan to 8 yuan, and some give 66 and 88. It's mainly for good luck."
"Looking at this dowry, my mother-in-law even gave me furniture. I think A hundred is not much."
Liang Yuting took Guan Youshuang's hand and whispered: "Youshuang, if Gu Errong is not ready, I will go to my house to pack one for you. I have it ready. ”
"No, I have it."
Guan Youshuang returned to the car, took out two hundred yuan from her bag, and said, "Okay, then we will give you two hundred yuan and let Xiaojie pick it up."
< br>Everyone was stunned.
Two hundred is not a small amount these days.
Many families do not earn that much in a year.
It seems that what the Guan family really loves is their eldest daughter, who will accompany her with both the dowry and the money.
"You, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Xiaojie has sent a bride to Leilei, how can he come to collect it? How about this, you give me the money, and I will give it to Xiaojie later."
Guan Youshuang sneered in her heart. In the original book, Guan Ruijie sent Guan Lei to the Gu family, and now, he sent Guan Lei to the Zhao family.
To put it bluntly, they also know that the younger brother sends his elder sister to get married to cheer her up.
They would never consider her!
Just for this, I still want her to give me money!
"Since Xiaojie is not here, there is no need to give this money."
After hearing this, Zhang Caihe chased him out, not caring about his image.
"Youshuang, what are you talking about? This is the horse money. It is given by the man. It has nothing to do with you."
"His business is my business. Likewise, I The money is his money. Since my brother is not here, there is no need for us to stick to etiquette." Guan Youshuang said lightly.
"The Zhao family has given it to me, can you not give it to me?" Zhang Caihe asked.
"Ask your brother to come and marry me, I will give it to him right away."
"You!"
Guan Youshuang stopped talking and pulled Gu Errong without looking back. Got into the car.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think well.” Gu Errong said in the car.
"It doesn't matter, it's their problem."

The Gu family.
As noon approaches, the fiery red sun shines on the entire village.
Under the big locust tree at the head of the village, there is a large table with incense sticks and red envelopes on it. There are several men sitting around the table, smoking and chatting leisurely.
Women stood together in groups of three or five, cracking melon seeds and chatting about household matters. Some children shuttled among the crowd, playing and playing.
On the ground, there were several long strings of firecrackers spread all the way to Gu Errong's house.
On both sides of the Gu family's door, red couplets have been pasted, red lanterns with double happiness printed on them have been hung, and several plates of tall firecrackers are placed at the door.
In the yard, there are 8 large round tables for 10 people, covered with red velvet cloth.
Red happy words and ribbons can be seen everywhere on the walls, windows, and even on the door of the livestock house in the backyard.
Wang Huiying was restless.
"Mom, don't worry, we should be here soon." Gu Errong's sister-in-law Huang Chunyan picked up the wooden comb, dipped it in the basin and combed her hair.
"My left eyelid keeps twitching. You said it would be okay?" "No, Mom, it's because you didn't get enough rest while taking care of Dad. Stop thinking so much." Huang Chunyan pulled Stop the mother-in-law and press her on the chair.
"Okay, mom doesn't want to, I'll go see if there's anything in the kitchen that I can help with."
"Oh no, mom, just sit down with dad. Wait, Ruyi and I have to deal with things at home."
"Thank you for your hard work this time. Seeing that you didn't sleep all night, Mom felt so bad."
< br>"Mom, please stop saying this. One family does not talk about two families. Today is Er Rong's big day. You have to be happy, eh?"
Huang Chunyan quickly touched With good hair, I patted my clothes and trousers, walked out and walked towards the kitchen.
She and her husband Gu Ruyi just came back yesterday. After taking the train for more than 20 hours, they were busy as soon as they came back. They helped Gu Errong clean the house, decorate the wedding room, borrow tables and chairs, and prepare cigarettes. Wine, food, etc.
Of course, there were some things that my father-in-law, Gu Yunliang, had prepared beforehand, and they just moved them here.
Although it kept spinning like a top, she was enjoying it.
As soon as the brother-in-law started a family, they could naturally discuss the matter of dividing the family.
She has been looking forward to this for many years.

The sound of car horns came from outside, and accompanied by a burst of dust, six wedding cars decorated with red garlands slowly drove into the entrance of the village.
The sound of firecrackers sounded.
Gu Errong's relatives, friends and villagers immediately became enthusiastic. They cheered in unison, some waved colorful flags, some beat gongs and drums, and some scattered red petals towards the car.
Everyone is welcoming the bride’s arrival in the most enthusiastic way.
Guan Youshuang has never seen this formation before.
In her previous life, she had attended the weddings of her cousin and several classmates, all of which were ordinary Western-style weddings.
She once imagined that if she got married, she would be different.
This time, it really came true.
This kind of plot, which can only be found in period TV dramas, actually happened to her, a post-00s generation.
It’s quite dreamy.
The sound of firecrackers continued, and the vehicle drove slowly and stopped in front of Gu's house.
A few firecrackers at the door were lit immediately, crackling, Guan Youshuang felt that her ears were going deaf, and she couldn't help covering her ears.
"Please bear with me a little longer. These dishes will be gone for the time being." Gu Errong looked at Guan Youshuang and said with a smile.
"Okay, the auspicious time has come, please get off the bride." Someone shouted outside.
Gu Errong quickly opened the door and got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and opened the door.
"Come on."
Guan Youshuang was stunned, why, you want the princess to hug you again?
She felt a little shy and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll walk by myself."
"How can this be done? Your feet can't touch the ground."
Guan Youshuang While she was still squirming, Gu Errong bent down and picked her up.
A new wave of firecrackers sounded again, and ribbons and flowers covered the clothes of the two couples.
“Wow, the bride has come out.”
“I want to see the bride, I want to see the bride.”
The children scrambled to pester Gu Errong, shouting With.
Relatives and friends hand out red envelopes to some, entertain others to entertain, and carry dowries to others, each of whom performs his or her duties.
Guan Youshuang was carried to the bed in the wedding room by Gu Errong.
Close the door and isolate everything outside.
