Chapter 213
The wedding banquet started as scheduled, and everything went smoothly. Li Rui went to pick up the bride, and the Li family ushered in a celebration.
Li Yu didn't care about playing around, and took the girls to check around again to see what the guests needed, and he had to see something alive.
Some guests do as they please, and it is inconvenient to make requests, but it is inevitable that they will not be satisfied if they are not satisfied.
Big families have high requirements, and guests are also demanding of your family.
The better the performance, the more recognition you get, and the more opportunities you will have in the future.
"Remove the plate and fill a dish of steamed peaches with sugar water. It should be hot, not hot. Mrs. Yan has just finished confinement, so she can't eat cold food."
Li Yu observed from the sidelines, observing calmly and directing the audience.
Wang is in charge of communicating with the wives of various families, and can get a lot of news in words and deeds in order to help her husband and son.
A wife glanced at her, smiled and said, "Your girl is doing really well, and she is doing a decent job at such a big banquet."
"The girl from the Gu family is smart, sensible, and calm. The girls in my family were young at that time, and they were all taken by the girls of the Gu family to work. Mr. Gu came to entrust me to take care of the children. There is no clan wife in the family, and it is inconvenient for the widow to show her face. The sister-in-law also came Beg me, I'll have the audacity to teach the children."
"The Gu family has had a hard time these past few years. It's a pity that the family could go up to another level. I've seen Gu Dalang. His demeanor and talent have been suppressed for a lifetime. It's God's will..."
"Yes, when my daughter was young, she always called her Uncle Gu an immortal uncle, and said that Uncle Gu was the most beautiful exiled immortal, no one could compare to her. Sometimes when I think of the past, it still seems like it was yesterday."
"Back then, Gu Dalang was a well-known romantic figure in the capital. It must be hard work for your girl to marry the Gu family."
This lady and Wang's boudoir have known each other and are close friends.
"Of course it will be harder, but my sister-in-law is calm and kind-hearted. My Yuer has a tough temper, and Leizi is a good boy. I am also relieved to grow up in front of our eyes. I just want my daughter to be safe and happy."
"That's right. Being a mother is all about making your children happy. You married a good wife."
"There have been many ups and downs in the family in the past few years, and this is the one that suits my heart the most. After my son marries a wife, I can take a breather and rest."
There was a joyful expression on Mrs. Wang's face.
The girls of the Gu family performed very well at this wedding banquet. They were calm, gentle and sassy. Several wives asked Mrs. Wang about them in private.
There is Li Yu leading the school to host the middle school. She is open and generous, teaches carefully, and pays attention to details. The girls are smart and learn quickly.
Xie Jin finally entered the door, and the Li family was very happy. This was the biggest joyous event since they came out of the capital.
On the first day of their wedding, Xie Jin and Li Rui came to offer tea to their parents and elders.
Grandpa Li took out a white jade bracelet.
"This is a gift from the emperor back then. It was given by my father's ancestors in the early years. Your grandmother wore it all her life and gave it to you. I also wish that you will stay together forever, respect and love each other."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Xie Jin knelt on the ground and took the jade bracelet with both hands.
The next step is to offer tea to Mr. Li and his wife. The couple also prepared gifts and congratulations.
The last is siblings.
"Brother Rui, after breakfast, go to the ancestral hall to offer incense."
The main purpose is to worship the ancestors, and at the same time give Xie Jin a genealogy. After that, Xie Jin changed his name to Li Xie's family, and became the Li family.
"yes."
Xie Jin prepared gifts for his parents, elder brothers and sisters.
Xie Jin stood behind Mrs. Wang and served vegetables. This is the daughter-in-law serving her mother-in-law, and the new daughter-in-law of the Xie family is also doing the same.
There was a piece of food with chopsticks, and Wang pulled her to sit down, "It's okay, just for a moment, don't take it seriously, there are so many maids in the room that you don't need you, sit down and eat together."
"Sister-in-law, I don't know your taste. I asked my brother to ask Xie's cook, and I made some dishes that you are used to. If you try it, it is the same as what you eat at home. The small kitchen in your yard is also built. Already, you just need to let the accompanying room use it."
Li Yu gave his sister-in-law some vegetables to express his respect for his elder sister-in-law.
"My father and my brother are not at home sometimes, so we just eat in the house by ourselves. Your yard really needs a fire."
"Thank you sister for loving me."
Xie Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, Li's family is indeed a very good family style, he first cares about his own taste when he enters the door, half of the dishes on the table are what he often eats at home, and he followed his own preferences.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'm at home these days."
Li Yu talked to his sister-in-law cheerfully, so as not to make her feel embarrassed when she first arrived.
"good."
After breakfast, the family rested for a while, and the ancestral hall came to report that it was ready.
Li Rui is the future patriarch, and this is for the whole clan to go out to recognize the future clan wife, so that everyone can recognize her face and meet each other.
Everyone goes to the ancestral hall first, men and women line up and kowtow one by one.
Fifth Grandpa invited the genealogy and filled in Xie Jin's name, and the marriage ceremony was completely completed.
The next step is to identify relatives. Li Yu accompanied Xie Jin to introduce them one by one and help her get acquainted.
The busyness didn't stop until the afternoon.
Li Yu handed Xie Jin a handkerchief, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you exhausted? I have a lot of family members, so it's okay if I don't recognize them all. I will get to know each other after a long time. The mother Wang in my brother's yard belongs to my brother." Nanny, let her tell you if there is anything you don't understand."
"Sister, thanks to you, otherwise I would be afraid of making a fool of myself."
"It doesn't matter, they are all from our own family. It's normal for a new wife to recognize her face when she enters the door. If she can't remember the ranking, she will always call her aunt, uncle and grandma."
Li Yu winked at her.
Xie Jin pursed his lips and smiled.
"You go back and rest for a while. You don't have to come so early tomorrow morning. Just come to greet my mother at the beginning of the morning. My mother is busy with family affairs and has no time to eat together at noon. You can eat at home by yourself. You can have dinner together in the afternoon. My father Depending on the situation, sometimes the two of them eat together, and I eat with grandpa."
"If you don't mind the trouble, you can spend more time with my grandpa. With my grandpa backing you up, even my elder brother will bow down to you."
Li Yu explained the family affairs very thoughtfully, and Xie Jin explained all the important things at the moment.
"Good sister, thank you."
Xie Jin is grateful.
"The Jinse next to my brother can be used. She is already engaged and will get married next year."
This vague meaning is that, except for the very young girls around the elder brother, the older ones are either married or engaged, and they are not concubines, so they can be used.
Xie Jin blushed a little, and took Li Yu's hand with gratitude.
After talking, we broke up, and asked my sister-in-law to go back for a break, and the family had dinner together in the afternoon.
In the house, Li Rui entered the door one step behind.
"Get tired, take a rest, if you don't know how to ask my sister, let her help you sort it out, if any slave is disobedient, just file a complaint with my sister, and beat them all out."
