I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 319 Peng Xu'an's Marriage 3

The house where the bride and the wedding party lived had been renovated in advance. It was spacious and beautiful. The servants assigned to serve them were all dutiful and smart. Whenever the bride and the wedding party needed them to do or buy anything, they would respond immediately.

As a prospective son-in-law, Peng Xuan'an was also advised by his father to visit the elders of his wife's family every day to greet them. Every time he went there, he would ask his uncle to send some small gifts such as snacks, candied fruits, storybooks, ornaments, and accessories to his fiancée.

He was thoughtful and attentive, and the girl's elders were pleased and often teased his fiancée.

Although the bride was shy and a little nervous and anxious, the uneasiness and confusion caused by marrying into a strange place and a strange family gradually diminished.

Peng Xuan'an had gained enough favorability in front of the Yue family and his fiancée. When welcoming the bride, the woman did not make things difficult for Peng Xuan'an. He took several rounds of civil and military examinations, and then urged him to send out a red envelope. Then the woman's relatives let him in on time.

Bai Jingzhou and other young people who accompanied the bridegroom helped a lot when Peng Xuan'an was dealing with the assessment of the Yue family members. Among them, Peng Xuan'an and his brothers were mainly responsible for composing poems, painting, guessing riddles, making couplets, and playing music, while Bai Jingzhou and the other four were mainly responsible for shooting covers, archery, and throwing pots.

As the purpose was just to have fun and have fun, the bride's relatives who came to see her off did not make things too difficult for these young people. The difficulty of the questions they asked was within a controllable range. Even Peng Xuan'an, who was known for his poor academic performance, was able to successfully answer nearly half of the questions in the written test.

For the remaining half, his cousins ​​also secretly gave him advice and helped him to answer the question satisfactorily.

As for the three items of shooting covered objects, archery and pitching pots, Bai Jingshan, Gu Wenhai and Gu Wenche successfully passed the pitching pots and archery items, while Bai Jingzhou answered all the questions of shooting covered objects with ease.

Shefu is an ancient guessing game. In the game, an object is placed under a container such as an bowl or a pot, and the participants need to guess what is covered under the container through observation, reasoning or asking.

This was originally the most difficult hurdle set by the bride's relatives, but unexpectedly, Bai Jingzhou was able to guess what they were hiding through observation, reasoning, and questioning.

The onlookers were amazed. Peng Xuan'an, who was supposed to be the protagonist today, didn't feel that his limelight was overshadowed at all. Instead, he put his arm around Bai Jingzhou's shoulders, looking very proud.

His performance made the bride's relatives who were sending her off for the wedding more and more satisfied with him.

In their view, it didn't matter that Peng Xuan'an was mediocre in talent, after all, he still had his father, uncles and uncles to protect and support him, and his family had enough assets for him to support his wife and children.

For them, the most terrifying thing is that their son-in-law is of average talent but narrow-minded and stupid without realizing it.

Now it seems that although Peng Xuan'an's academic ability is average, his character, mentality and interpersonal relationships are very worthy of praise.

The group of people successfully received the bride, and then, as planned, traveled around the county town with music and dance, distributing a lot of wedding money and wedding cakes, etc. Then, amid the cheers and discussions of the people, they returned to Peng's house to continue the subsequent procedures.

Gu Wenxuan arrived at the Peng Mansion on time for the banquet. She had no acquaintances here, and she couldn't eat as freely as she could at home, so she simply arrived a little late.

She planned to present the gift before the sedan chair entered the door, then find a place to sit for a while, drink some tea, and then go over with everyone to watch the newlyweds get married. This way she wouldn't have to chat awkwardly with a group of unfamiliar female relatives.

Gu Wenxuan had a nice idea, but there are always some people in this world who will not provoke you just because you don’t provoke them.

As one of Peng Xuan'an's saviors, although Gu Wenxuan did not have as much contact with County Magistrate Peng and Peng Xuan'an as Bai Jingzhou did, she was still highly valued and respected in the Peng Mansion.

When Peng Xuan'an's aunt heard from the servant that Gu Wenxuan had arrived, she immediately led people to the second gate to welcome her. Peng Xuan'an's sister Peng Nian'an also changed her taciturn style of behavior. After she and her aunt welcomed Gu Wenxuan in, she sat beside Gu Wenxuan and chatted with her in a soft voice.

Gu Wenxuan felt very sympathetic towards Peng Nian'an. This girl had suffered much more at the hands of her stepmother than Peng Xuan'an. Whenever she faced this girl, Gu Wenxuan would subconsciously reveal her most patient and gentle side.

The two got along well with each other. Some people who had previously wanted to curry favor with Peng Nian'an but were never given the chance by Peng Nian'an suddenly became critical and dissatisfied with Gu Wenxuan.

Those who are clear-headed will not be affected by these criticisms and dissatisfaction, but those who are not clear-headed will inevitably find fault and disgust Gu Wenxuan.

It was not known who the girl had asked about Gu Wenxuan's identity. When Peng Nian'an was called over by her aunt to pay respects to the new elders, the girl spoke sarcastically and disdained Gu Wenxuan, saying that she "smelled all over and had mud spots on the corners of her skirt that had not been washed clean."

Gu Wenxuan didn't want to pay attention to her, but the other party kept pestering her.

Seeing that Gu Wenxuan turned a deaf ear to her sarcasm, she stood up, walked a few steps to the position opposite Gu Wenxuan, pointed at her with disgust and said, "I'm talking to you! Are you deaf or dumb? What's the matter, you country bumpkins..."

With a slap, Gu Wenxuan slapped her directly.

She didn't even use one twentieth of her strength, but the girl's cheek quickly swelled up from the hit.

The women who were watching the show were so frightened that they either dared not breathe, or screamed in panic, or dropped the snacks and candied fruits in their hands. The girl was staggering and looked like she couldn't stand steadily. No one knew that she had a buzzing sound in her head.

Gu Wenxuan waved to the maidservant nearby and said, "Go get me a wet towel to wash my hands."

The maid was also stunned. When she heard Gu Wenxuan say this, she subconsciously went to get a clean wet towel for Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan wiped her hands slowly, "I'm not deaf or dumb, I just don't want to cause trouble on someone else's wedding day, so I tolerated you this time. But it's obvious that you don't have even the slightest sense of being a guest."

The girl had come to her senses by now, and when she heard what Gu Wenxuan said, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

This crazy woman slapped her without saying a word, and even turned the tables and accused her of having no awareness of being a guest!

She didn't have it, so did this crazy woman have it? If she did, would she still hit someone in such a situation?

Gu Wenxuan wiped her hands carefully, handed the used handkerchief back to the maid, then nodded slightly and said "thank you" to her.

The maid was stunned, and so were everyone else. She thanked the servant but slapped the guest like her. Is this girl humble or unruly?
