Rise From the Humble

The flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Zhu Ping'an had only read a book in the room for a while before he was rushed to the new house by his mother Chen, who had returned from making a bed in the new house. Tonight is Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's bridal night. It is said that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, but tonight's time is extremely precious, and Mrs. Chen also wants to have her grandson one day early.

Reading?

It’s time to go to the bridal chamber, why should I read a book? It’s not as important as continuing the family line!

So, when Mrs. Chen came back and saw Zhu Pingan still reading in the room, she drove Zhu Pingan to the new house without saying a word.

Zhu's father and his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan hung two strings of firecrackers in the alley between the old house and the new house. When Zhu Pingan was dragged out by Mrs. Chen, they lit the firecrackers, crackling, and the joy suddenly came out.

Generally speaking, the bridal night is held on the day of the wedding, but there are some exceptions for Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu. They were still at sea on the day of the wedding, so their bridal night was not made up until today. As usual, onlookers would make noise in the bridal chamber during the bridal night, but Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's wedding night was separated from the wedding, so there was no need for bridal party disturbances.

The bridal chamber is a traditional Chinese wedding custom. The main purpose of the bridal chamber is not to play tricks on the bride and groom, but to ward off evil spirits. When there are many people, the yang energy is strong, and the ghosts and evil spirits that cause trouble are driven away, bringing safety and blessings to the newlyweds.

Zhu's father and his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan set off firecrackers to replace the bridal chamber environment and achieve the effect of warding off evil spirits.

"Get some rest now." Father Zhu glanced at Zhu Pingan, nodded and said.

What Zhu's father said was relatively reserved, but what his mother Chen said was much more straightforward. When Chen pushed Zhu Ping'an, who was wearing the groom's uniform, into the new house, he told her straightforwardly: "Work harder and let your mother go as soon as possible." Hold grandson.”

Work harder? !

To Li Shu?

Wouldn't that be killing minors? !

Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an almost stumbled over the threshold. How could he possibly attack an underage girl?

"Look at how excited this silly boy is." Upon seeing this, his mother, Mrs. Chen, covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that Zhu Pingan couldn't wait.

After Zhu Ping'an was pushed into the door, his mother, Mrs. Chen, closed the door of the new house from the outside and added heavy protection to the wedding night to prevent anyone from disturbing her.

However, after closing the door, her mother, Ms. Chen, walked around the wall of the new house to a corner, half-crouched down without breathing, stretched her neck, covered her ears with her hands, and pressed against the wall. It seems like he has special powers and can hear the voices inside. At the end, he extended his hand to invite his eldest daughter-in-law Juan'er to join him.

This. Is this listening to a corner?

"Mom, you"

The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan on the side had a black line on his face, and his face suddenly turned red, as if he had thought of something. On Brother Hu's wedding night, his mother was listening in the corner, so wouldn't it be the same on his own wedding night?

"Shh, do you understand society? There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is to have no heirs. What is there to be ashamed of?" Mother Chen glared at her eldest son. She thought her eldest son spoke too loudly, so she was eavesdropping. What's the fuss about? Why are you so loud?

Listening to the corner would have been looked down upon in the past, but this was an exception on the wedding night. On the wedding night, there will inevitably be people listening to the noise along with the wedding night. This is almost a common practice in the countryside. Although this kind of behavior is not good, it is a welcome sight on a wedding night.

Of course, even on the wedding night, this is only reserved for women.

In addition, I believe that many mothers have done such embarrassing things. Marrying a daughter-in-law for their son is to carry on the family line, so they like to hear the news that everything is going well, and they feel relieved after hearing it. If you can't hear any movement, you will still worry.

"Okay, the new house is so big, and She'er and his new house are far away."

Father Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Chen back by his arm with a speechless expression. It’s not like you don’t know how big the new house is. It’s the third courtyard. It’s not like you didn’t keep an eye on it when the house was being built. This new house is in the innermost part. What can you hear here?

"Only you know better." Mrs. Chen glared at Father Zhu, then reached out and pinched Father Zhu.

Chen felt that he pinched hard, but Father Zhu's skin was rough and fleshy, so he didn't feel anything. His hand hurt, which made Chen roll his eyes.

The new house is now decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There are red lanterns with the Chinese characters for Double Happiness, and red ribbons are tied on the trees. There are two rows of potted plants with red flowers in the yard, especially the one made of red silk hanging on the second entrance door. Flowers and ribbons hanging from both sides of the door add to the atmosphere.

"Come here, come here, uncle is here."

"My uncle is finally here."

"Haha. Miss, you're not even in a hurry. I think you're so anxious."

As soon as Zhu Ping'an walked into the yard, he heard the chirping of little girls, and then saw several little girls at the second door peeking in at the door, whispering to each other with excited faces, and seemed to be very excited.

"Hello, uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

When Zhu Pingan was about to reach the second door, several girls in pink skirts, holding small flower baskets, came to Zhu Pingan with small steps and bent down to say hello. Their little faces were painted with rouge, which was very cute. .

The little girl is not very old, about ten years old, at least two or three years younger than herself.

"Hello."

Zhu Pingan nodded and replied, and then he was about to walk in. The door was closed by his mother, so he could only go in.

"Uncle Keke and the young lady are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven; they will grow old together, and they will be together for hundreds of years; the flowers will be full and the moon will be full, and a precious son will be born soon." Several little girls giggled and blocked the door, chirping auspicious words in their little mouths, but they refused to let Zhu Go in safely.

I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs running away.

Zhu Pingan is not a fool, it is clear at a glance what these little girls mean.

In other words, the modern group of bridesmaids begging for red envelopes is passed down from ancient times. Although there were no bridesmaids in ancient times, there were dowry girls.

Zhu Pingan counted the girls blocking the door. There were six girls in total. Then he reached into his sleeves and took out six wrapped red envelopes. Each girl had one, which made the little girls blocking the door excited. Her little face turned red.

After distributing the red envelopes, Zhu Pingan walked in again, but was stopped by these girls. In the same scene as before, the little girls were still giggling and talking cute things, but they just refused to let Zhu Pingan in.

The red envelopes are still accepted, but no one can enter.

Looking at the girl who was covering her mouth and giggling, Zhu Ping'an remembered the anecdote about Su Xiaomei's third groom test, and then he knew that this was probably a test before entering the new house. It is estimated that after passing this test, there will be others later. test.
