Chapter 205: Recognition and Toasting 1
A sister-in-law of the Lu family had already brought the wedding quilt from the mule cart to the east bedroom and placed it on the bed that had been covered with a mattress.
Compared to the extravagant four quilts that Feng Qingxue brought as a dowry, the Lu family only had this one quilt and one cover.
Although it was new, the cotton padding was very thin.
Fortunately, the quilt cover was all red, bright red, with large peony flowers printed on the mattress, and a picture of a hundred children on the quilt cover, which filled the whole room with joy.
Except for the wedding quilt on the bed, the new house only had new furniture, nothing else.
Based on this point, it did not arouse others' jealousy.
When the dowry was moved in, the room was suddenly full.
Before everyone could express their envy, the arrival of the bride eclipsed everything in the room.
When Lu Jiang lifted the red veil, revealing a face that had always been shrouded in clouds and mist, everyone watching in the room exclaimed in amazement.
As for Lu Jiang, he had been stunned.
He had always known that his wife was beautiful. Her simple dress could not hide her natural beauty. Her round oval face was very dignified and generous. She was gorgeous but not vulgar, elegant but not bland. But he never knew that she was so beautiful on the day of their wedding. She was so beautiful that he didn't know how to breathe, where to put his hands and feet, and could only hear his heart beating wildly.
"So pretty!"
The first to praise her was an aunt in the Lu family.
She was a woman and an elder of Lu Jiang. It would not cause rumors to praise Feng Qingxue for her good looks.
In fact, the Lu family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is not a single-handed hand that is difficult to support. It's just that Lu's father's father was the eldest son and inherited most of the Lu family's family business, and then passed it on to Lu's father. Lu's uncles had almost ruined the family business before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The cousins inherited limited family business. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some were classified as rich peasants and some were classified as middle peasants.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were differences in class, so the families rarely interacted.
If Lu Jiang hadn't gotten married today, and married Wang Zhengguo's niece, his father's cousins wouldn't necessarily show up.
Lu's father's father had cousins, and his father's grandfather also had brothers and cousins. Which family didn't leave descendants? There were more than a hundred people in the close family who were not out of the fifth mourning period, and most of them were classified as poor peasants, poor and lower-middle peasants, etc.
So, the Lu family is a big family in Wanglou Brigade, but they just don't usually show up.
After Lu Jiang's introductions, Feng Qingxue, who was sitting on the bed, raised her head shyly and nodded to everyone. As Lu Jiang called people, she called them aunt, sister-in-law, and elder sister, and remembered each other's identity and appearance in her heart.
Except for a few young men who came to welcome the bride, other men rarely entered the bridal chamber, and most of the people in the bridal chamber were women.
"Fengqin, how come you and the secretary have such a pretty niece? She's really a fresh flower." An old woman called Third Grandma by Lu Jiang held Miao Fengqin's hand and grinned, thinking that with Feng Qingxue's appearance, she could marry into the city and enjoy life like her aunt. Then she thought that Lu Jiang was not bad either, so she swallowed the words.
There were many people who had the same idea as Third Grandma Lu, and they all felt that "flowers were stuck in cow dung".
Of course, cow dung refers to the composition of the Lu family, not Lu Jiang himself.
Lu Jiang is still very good and brings honor to the Lu family.
Fortunately, Lu Jiang himself is very motivated, otherwise it would be a pity for Feng Qingxue to marry him.
