Chapter 1978 (1/2)

The local governments of Jingguo even took the initiative to promote various cultural conferences. In particular, in Xiangzhou and Jiangzhou, which are close to the Yangtze River, the local governments put all their efforts to light lanterns, whip guns, dragon boat races, hold cultural meetings, perform big operas, hold big seats, light boat lights, etc., so as to focus all kinds of traditional customs on this day.

Many officials have played the cabinet and monarch and asked Jingguo to set up a ”Jiang Jun Festival” to commemorate Fang Yun's becoming the Lord of the Yangtze River.

Jiangzhou, Dayuan Prefecture, Jixian County.

The whole city was decorated with lanterns, and every family was full of festivity. The rich households in the city responded to the call of the county magistrate and put water mats on Wenyuan street, where the people of the whole city flocked.

The scholars in the city gathered in various cultural conferences, some in restaurants, some in the wild, but most of them were on the Bank of the enlightenment river.

Ji county is bustling, but the Ge family is deserted three blocks away from the famous Fangyun Fangjia courtyard.

Ge Xiaomao, the only son of the Ge family, got married today. There were lights and decorations inside and outside the hospital. There were ten tables of banquet in the hospital. Outside the hospital, more than 20 tables of water banquet were prepared according to the custom of Ji county and placed in the street.

However, there was no one in the outer space of the yard, only four tables were sitting in the yard, all relatives of the Ge family and their in laws.

The Ge family's in laws are the prosperous family in Ji county. Although they are not famous families, they are also famous in Ji county. There is a shop and 100 mu of good land just for dowry, which is the envy of ordinary people.

Even if the banquet of the Sheng family is less than 20 tables, it is no problem to fill 10 tables, but now only two tables have been invited by the Sheng family.

The Sheng family at the two tables were black faced, and the table full of delicacies didn't move a chopstick.

The faces of the Ge family next to them were also ugly. Some frowned and some looked at the Sheng family angrily.

As usual, the parents and grandparents of the two families have to sit at the same table, but today they are completely separated.

The two newlyweds have finished their worship. The bridegroom and the bride sit in the main hall, head down and silent.

Although Ge Xiaomao, the bridegroom's official, was not a child, he had studied for many years and was gentle, but his dim complexion made him look like a scholar.

The bride on one side was beautiful, with low eyebrows and eyes, motionless and sad.

In the evening of July, insects and birds sing, the heat is steaming, the red candle shines high, but the candle is cold.

On the seat of the Ge family, a middle-aged man with 40 or so but white hair said, ”in laws, you'd better sit down. You can't lose etiquette for this big wedding banquet.”

A middle-aged woman at the Sheng family's table sneered: ”Why, did you ge family accuse Sheng family of being impolite? Last year, who with bare mouth and white teeth vowed that Fang Xusheng would give gifts even if he didn't come, let the lintel of Ge family and Sheng family shine, and let the two newcomers get the blessing of Xusheng. Now? Not only did Xu Sheng not see anyone, but the scholars in the city avoided it under the pretext of celebrating Jiang Jun's day, and some even saved their gifts! Have something to do with you ge family Who dares to join in the fun on your side when you are so unlucky. ”

The Ge family were ashamed and angry, but they were unable to refute.

Ge Fu, who spoke earlier, sighed and said, ”in laws, this big marriage is the business of the two families, but in the final analysis, it is the business of the Xiaomao couple. How can they live after the big marriage? I have come to the door to make amends one after another. Why don't my in laws refuse?”

Ge Xiaomao clenched his teeth and clenched his fist.

Suddenly, the bride beside him reached out and gently touched Ge Xiaomao's fist.

Ge Xiaomao was stiff for a moment, and his fist clenched hand slowly loosened.

Their hands still touched.
