“...... Crackling......"

Firecrackers were lit in front of the courtyard gate again, suona, and gongs were also played.

Some narrow sedan chairs were lifted open curtains, and after some cumbersome etiquette,

The man from before led the bride, who was dressed in a wedding dress and covered with a red hijab, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Playing suona, several old men playing music also followed into the courtyard, and the music became louder and louder.

......

In the courtyard, a group of guests buried their heads more and more with the approaching music, only a few people, glanced at the bride who walked in, and quickly lowered their heads,

The man led the bride past the dining tables, close to the guests on the side of the aisle, buried his head, looked at the red skirt that appeared in sight, did not dare to raise his head, but squeezed to the side, let,

“...... The bride and groom enter the wedding hall. ”

The old man who followed the bride walked to the door of the hall and let out a long breath,

The man led the bride, paused in front of the door of the hall, crossed the threshold, and walked into the hall, where the two chairs of the master with the spiritual seat were placed.

In the darkness under the lamp on the side, the man who was watching the rooster hurriedly hugged the chicken, walked out, and handed the chicken into the man's arms.

The man held the chicken, moved half a step to the side, and stood side by side with the bride, who was covered with a red cloth and also held a chicken, on the Taishi chair, waiting for the next step of the ceremony.

The sound of suona and gong also followed, quieting down.

At this time, the old man stood next to Taishi Zhang's chair, but he didn't continue to speak,

Turning his head, the old man looked through the door of the hall, looked into the courtyard outside the hall, and looked towards Lian Ge.

Glancing at the old man's gaze, Lian Ge's face was calm, and he didn't make a sound, just watched quietly,

“...... Young man, are you in the mood to come over and be a witness?"

The old man looked at Lian Ge, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old man and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't answer.

And the guests in the courtyard couldn't help but be a little curious when they heard the words in the quiet courtyard, but they couldn't help but hold back one after another, didn't look up, just tilted their heads sideways, and barely glanced to this side.

Dressed festively, the woman who greeted the guests before stood in the courtyard, smelled the sound, looked at Lian Ge, couldn't help but have some doubts in her eyes, and looked at the old man again, but didn't make a sound after all,

The old man looked at Lian Ge with a smile, and Lian Ge just smiled and looked at the hall,

No one made a sound, the music stopped, and the courtyard was somewhat quiet.

"Sir, I don't remember that there was a witness to an ancient wedding. ”

Laughing, without getting up, Lian Ge looked at the old man and said out loud,

“...... The combination of ancient and modern, there was no before, but now there is, if it really can't work, I'll get out of the way, young man, you can be the main marriage. ”

Laughing, the old man spoke again.

Hearing the sound, the man standing in the hall, holding the rooster, couldn't help but look at the old man and opened his mouth, with some doubts in his eyes, wanting to say something, but after all, he still didn't make a sound.

Lian Ge looked at the old man and paused again,

Standing up from the dining table, Lian Ge looked at the old man again, smiled, removed his feet, and walked into the hall.

“...... Thanks, lad. ”

Seeing Lian Ge walk in, the old man smiled a little more, and thanked Lian Ge.

Lian Ge walked to the old man's side, stopped in front of the two newcomers, and shook his head slightly,

"Think of it as a gift for drinking this cup of wine. ”

Glancing at the two newcomers again, Lian Ge smiled and said a word, without saying anything more.

The old man smiled, and then turned his head,

“...... Let's have fun!"

The old man exclaimed, and the sound of joy followed in the courtyard and in the hall,

“...... Kneeling ......"

“...... Worship heaven and earth......"

The old man stood beside the Taishi chair, shouting, and the two people holding the chicken followed the sound of praise and carried out the ceremony.

“...... Rise...... Kneeling ......"

“...... The second worship of the high hall ......"

Lian Ge stood beside the old man, didn't say anything more, just watched quietly,

On his shoulder, the mouse also turned its head and looked around.

“...... Rise...... Kneel down again......"

“...... Husband and wife worship each other...... Get up, kneel ...... ......"

The old man let out a long breath, and the two people holding the chicken were helped up from the ground by the people next to them.

He didn't continue to chant for a long time, and the hall fell silent again.

The old man turned his head and looked at Lian Ge,

Lian Ge didn't turn his head, didn't say anything, moved his footsteps, and walked in front of the two newcomers who got up,

"I wish the two of you a hundred years of good union and eternal marriage. ”

Looking at the front of him, Lian Ge said.

“...... Thank-you gift for the newlyweds...... Makeover. ”

Seeing this, the old man let out another long exhalation on the side,

Although there were some doubts, the man, as well as the bride with a red hijab, still held two chickens and made a gesture towards Lian Ge,

Lian Ge watched, stood in place, and received a salute before moving to the side again and getting out of the way.

“...... The ceremony is completed, and the newlyweds are sent to the cave room. ”

"Guest ......"

After two long exclamations, the man and the man covered with red cloth each held a chicken, and were supported by men, and walked into the passage that was flooded by the night.

The sound of suona, the sound of music stopped again,

A group of guests buried their heads first glanced over here, and then raised their heads one after another,

Under the action, the sound of moving stools and the clashing of dishes and chopsticks were mixed, and the yard was a little noisy, but there was still no one talking.

“...... Come to the table, young man, and I'll go and take off my clothes, and come over too. ”

The old man in the hall watched the two newcomers walk into the back room, turned his head, greeted Lian Ge with a smile, and said loudly.

smiled, glanced at the old man, Lian Ge didn't say anything, turned around, stepped out of the hall again, and sat down at the dining table not far from the edge of the hall by the courtyard.

At the table, there was still no one else, Lian Ge swept his eyes and withdrew his gaze.

......

“...... You're welcome, young man, just clip yourself if you like to eat. Today's banquet was made by Lao Chen, and his skills are okay. ”

It didn't take long for the old man to take off the Taoist robe he was draped on, walked over, and greeted with a smile,

“...... You don't have to wait, just start eating. This table is for help, and the main family can eat, and they all have to work a little longer before they can come, so we will eat first. ”

Greeting, the old man sat down beside Lian Ge and picked up his chopsticks,

“...... The steamed bean paste meat here is good, sweet but not greasy, young man, can you taste it......"

After eating the chopsticks and dishes, the old man greeted with a smile again.

Lian Ge glanced at the dining tables in the courtyard, eating one by one, and then turned his gaze and looked at the old man sitting beside him,

Picked up the chopsticks, took the chopsticks dish, handed it to the shoulder of the mouse who was standing on the forelimbs, greedy for it, and then took the chopsticks dish and ate it.

"It tastes good. ”

Lian Ge took the chopsticks, turned his gaze, looked at the old man again, smiled on his face, and said loudly,

"It's just to follow the old gentleman over for a meal, but I'm at a loss. ”

"It's good to taste, it's good to your taste. ”

Laughing, the old man didn't seem to hear the second half of the sentence,

“...... Young man, you don't want to try this here anymore, this coleslaw here is not bad...... Why don't I bring that dish over? ”

"No need. ”

“...... That's what happens...... That young man, stretch your chopsticks a little longer, and if you want to eat, you can clip it yourself. ”

After a pause, the old man sat back again, greeted him again, the smile on his face faded a little, and he was silent.

“...... From as long as I can remember, I knew that there was a big girl in the village who was very old and unmarried......"
