Chapter 108: Marrying
Although Wang Yunlin, who was expelled from the house, has become a grass without roots, and her life can only be taken over by the Hong family in the future, in fact, the Hong family has no sloppiness and neglect towards her.
On the contrary, her marriage to Hong Lucheng has a lot of momentum and content. It can even be said that in Beiping back then, it was necessary to take the lead.
On the day of the ceremony, under the six-foot red cloth in front of the royal courtyard to announce the happy event, the goose cage, the sea of wine, the whole pig, the whole sheep, the hairpin ring jewelry, and the clothes of the four seasons sent by the Hong family were completely in accordance with the highest specifications, and there were 64 lifts.
Those large boxes painted with red lacquer and gold were carried by the bearers in auspicious clothes, and half of the alley was placed and half of the alley was red.
The pair of "Dragon and Phoenix Joy Cakes" sent by "Jin Lan Zhai" was one hundred and twenty pounds. A pair of "happy fruits", jujubes, chestnuts, peanuts, and longan are also stacked on the same hill.
All of this made the onlookers smack their tongues. Many people have inquired about whose girl got married and cultivated such a good marriage.
The same unambiguous on the day of the make-up and hair ceremony.
In the name of Wang Zhaofu, the Hong family urgently purchased a full set of pear, red sandalwood furniture, top box cabinets, round tables, embroidered sofas, table clocks, calligraphy and painting screens, gold and silver jewelry, and tables with railings, which together are also sixty-four lifts.
The tiles, which represent the real estate, represent the acres of adobe, are stacked with one hundred and twenty-eight pieces, and are placed on the balustrade table, and are displayed at the front of the line by the porter.
When this batch of valuable dowries went out of the Wang family, it naturally attracted a large number of people to gather around the door of the Wang family, speculating whether the big boss Wang, who sold matches, had made a windfall.
There are also children singing around the door, "The moon shines on the east window, the girl of the Wang family is a good dowry." Gold lacquer cabinets, silver leather chests, tiger skin chairs and ivory beds. Ingot powder, stick incense, cotton rouge 200 sheets. ……”
In the children's songs, in the opinions of the people. Whether Wang Yunlin knows it or not, at least these things have allowed Wang Zhaofu's family to take over the scenery on their own territory.
It is not unfortunate to say that even if Wang Yunlin really marries as the big personality of the Wanyan family, if the dowry is compared with it, I am afraid it will be a lot more embarrassing.
And on the day of the wedding, the pomp and circumstance of welcoming relatives is even greater.
Not only are there 20 gun-carrying patrol officers under Hong Fucheng who are responsible for maintaining order. There is a full set of honor guards and drum instruments of the "Hexing" sedan chair shop. In order to pick up and drop off their wives and send their wives, the Hong family and the Shou family also drove two cars, "Lincoln" and "Dodge".
With this dignity that can call the police to open the way, with the glory of the whole six groups of golden lamps, deacons, and two sets of twenty-four rings to "dry the sedan chair", as well as the two luxury cars worth tens of thousands of yuan instead of the green sedan chair (according to tradition, the wedding is a red, two green and three sedan chairs, the red one sits on the bride, and the green one sits on the wife and the wife who sends the family) worth tens of thousands of yuan, this wedding is enough to be called the top specification.
This time, of course, the onlookers blocked the entrance of the alley with three layers inside and three layers outside, and even those selling bean juice and fried cakes also closed their stalls, and even caused a traffic jam on the outer street for a time.
Needless to say, everyone wants to see a grand wedding that they have never seen before.
In addition, Wang Yunlin's wedding dress is also luxurious.
It was made by Su Shenzhen's father, Lao Su, who received 300 yuan of ocean, and lit a lamp and boiled oil.
The red seawater river cliff robe, the red satin phoenix wearing a peony embroidered skirt, the velvet beads on the head, and the embroidered shoes inlaid with gems are all genuine things. Trembling, heavy. It can be called jewels and gorgeous.
This undreaming costume makes every woman in the Wang family very fascinated, and they all think that as a woman to marry, if they can be so glamorous, they will not lose anything in this life.
And the reason why the Hong family is so extravagant is because Hong Xiaoru knows the embarrassment of Wang Yunlin's environment and the high price he pays.
This includes his guilt for his son abducting other people's daughters. also wants to show sincerity through big exercises, so that the Wanyan family can rest assured about their daughter's future.
It should be said that from this point of view, the Hong family just wants to use money to compensate Wang Yunlin to a certain extent.
It's just that under the dazzling light, in the envy and admiration of the people in the capital, the scenery shrouded in Wang Yunlin is infinite, but it is far from enough to offset the desolation and loneliness caused by the decision of family affection.
A few days before her wedding, she quietly washed her face with tears almost every night. And on the day she went out, she cried even more, and even her eyes were swollen into peaches.
It wasn't an ordinary ceremonial cry, it was a heart-wrenching cry. Even Shou Jingfang's mother, who is the wife of the wife, and the aunt of the Wang family, who is the wife of the family, can't be persuaded to persuade them, and the more they are persuaded, the more wow-wow, it is difficult to end up with a river of tears.
There are people who don't know the inside story and praise the bride for her filial piety and a good daughter who is reluctant to leave her parents' family.
To say that this is true, but they don't know that it is not the Wang family that makes Wang Yunlin sad, but the Wanyan family who is far away in the "half-acre garden" of Liangguo Factory.
She was even more sad that on the day of her wedding, there was no blood relatives present.
Naturally, in this way, it is impossible to comb your hair and change your clothes and cover your head.
So much so that the groom officials Hong Lucheng and Shou Jingfang, who were waiting in the courtyard, were in a hurry.
But they couldn't be anxious or annoyed. The only thing that can be done is to explain to the drummers, one song after another, continuously blowing "Ma Tofu Big Goo", "Oil Gourd Upside Down Climbing the City" and "Shell Lang Climbing the Bamboo Pole - Festival Height", so as to delay time and waste time for the bride.
This is the intention of the drummers, don't look tired, but in this way, the main family will be rewarded. The longer they blow, the more money they will pay.
So, everyone began to "fry hemp tofu" with great interest.
This piece is very distinctive, the suona and sheng flute have to stop, only the sound of drums and cymbals remains, and the drum is not beating, it is kneading, and the cymbal is not hitting, it is grinding, cooing, it is really like the sesame tofu in the pot.
It's just the drumbeat of this broken tune, but it also makes Hong Lucheng even more upset and restless.
If it weren't for Shou Jingfang holding him down, he who had always been calm almost followed the drum beat in the courtyard. It was a big joke like a burlesque.
Fortunately, Wang Yunlin also knows how to severity, and after venting for a while, she began to try her best to restrain her grief.
The wife and the wife are both Mali people, one to open the face, the other to prepare the head, the two of them worked together to get busy, and finally did not let the sedan chair waiting outside the door almost miss the auspicious time.
Finally, as the courtyard played "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", Wang Yunlin, who was covered with a hijab, got on the sedan chair with the support of the two wives with a demeanor. This was a relief to all those who waited.
To say that the wedding team was able to set off smoothly, thanks to those twenty policemen.
It all depends on them lining up in two rows to guard the left and right. The long snake-like sequence was able to break through the crowd and walk out of the alley onto the street.
And this opening scene, the pomp and circumstance are really not small.
Walking in the forefront, first a pair of open gongs as the lead, and then the whole golden lamp, the golden deacon, the Han flag, the archdeacon, what sieve mirrors, green fans, umbrellas are also readily available.
In addition, there are two sets of 24-ring drum rattles. The last car that slowly followed was two cars to pick up and drop off the wife.
It can be described as vast, novel and lively, so that no one can walk the road when they see it.
However, no one expected that there would be a more eye-catching and shocking one on the way.
The daring team had just opened a street, and in the middle of the road, there was a big red face with a mustache on his face and a sword in his hand, and he stopped in the middle of the road.
Look at the red official clothes again, red judging yarn, jade belt, black thick bottom, black card, black python cover, crotch and shoulders are pulled up, you know that it is Zhong Kui.
And this horn, as soon as he saw the team from afar, he danced and sang loudly.
"Lined up with a broken umbrella and lonely lamp, facing the peace and auspiciousness, the bright light spit out the cold star, riding the donkey and pedaling, like a plum blossom spring scene...... The right to be an iceman tied to the red rope, the right to be old for the alliance, the right to be a clever match, the right to be used as an axe to prove the media......"
You know, there is almost no one in old Beijing who doesn't listen to Peking Opera. This one's performance was quite in place, so the audience was full of voices, and it attracted applause everywhere.
It's just that today's policemen are not in the mood to watch the white show, they heard the noise in front, and thought that someone was deliberately trying to make trouble, so someone immediately took a gun and went to the front to intervene.
Fortunately, Hong Lucheng is a very smart person, and after a short period of surprise, he quickly recognized it as Yuntai from the noisy voice. So he hurriedly got out of the car and stepped in to stop it, but finally didn't let things go bad.
And this dressed "Zhong Kui" is also shrewd, although it is not easy to say it in public, but he can use drama words to put into the scene. With just a loud shout, the meaning was completely clear.
"Girl, Hugh is scared. I took the exam for Shangjing, and my face changed when I was trapped in a ghost's cave, so that I sacrificed my life after Zaimon. God saw that I was upright, and named me a general who beheaded the evil body, and I was a god in the world. For this reason, I am here to meet and press the sedan chair with you. But my face has changed, and I'm afraid it scares you!"
Behind these words, there have actually been some changes in words, and passers-by can't help but hear it a little foggy, but Hong Lucheng is different after all and immediately understands.
Dare to follow the old Beijing wedding customs, the bride goes out, and the mother's brother must accompany the sedan chair or so, which is called "pressing the sedan chair". This is to prevent the sedan chair drivers from walking and walking, deliberately making the sedan chair bumping up and down, swaying from side to side.
Because this is at the special moment of marriage, the palanquin bearers have the power to show off and show their hands reasonably and legally. It is not only to win glory for their own shop and create a brand, but also to ask for rewards from their own family.
And Yuntai was forced by the situation to send it with his true identity, so he pretended to be Zhong Kui for his sister for life. After all, he didn't forget his sister's marriage, and he was really a man with love and hate.
In this case, Hong Lucheng personally walked to the front and respectfully invited this "righteous god" to follow the sedan chair.
As a result, the Hong family's welcoming team had a unique scene.
Next to the bride's sedan chair, this "Zhong Kui" master was really replaced with this "Zhong Kui" to hold the sedan chair pole. And this "Zhong Kui" is still singing all the way, completely replacing the drum sounder's "Kua Desheng" and "Xi Chong Chong".
"Put the wheels and horses, wheels and horses, and hurry on this trip. The flag is covered, the candle is burned, and the yarn is introduced. Listen to Luan Feng and Ming, listen to Luan Feng and Ming. The dragon flute knocks on the elephant board, the drum and the phoenix sheng, a beautiful sound, the warm dissolves the spring haze, and the hundred charms are self-generated. Under the umbrella, on the donkey, sit behind the hero. The car is downloaded, and the weak quality is ......"
Seeing that the wedding procession was on the road again and gradually moving away, the people on the road were all stupid, and they didn't relax for a long time.
They don't understand, and they don't understand, why a marriage that is supposed to be festive and auspicious, dignified and solemn would allow such a seemingly casual and frivolous and seemingly absurd scene to happen.
They don't understand why the two families and so many police officers who are married are finally resigned to it.
On the contrary, listening to this continuous singing, Wang Yunlin in the sedan chair was excited.
She didn't need to look at it to know that her own brother was outside. And she believes that only her brother can come up with such an unconventional and ingenious workaround.
After all, they are brothers and sisters, they have been like each other since childhood, and let the pears push the dates, such as Xun and Chi. Yuntai's temperament is like this, what he should do must be done by him, and what should be done must be done by him.
Everything was silent, and a burst of warm tears poured out again, hanging down the hem of the shirt in the midst of a muffled cry.
Wang Yunlin didn't care if her makeup was difficult to clean up, and she was finally relieved......
In this way, a play "Zhong Kui Marrying a Sister" was vividly interpreted, and this "Zhong Kui" master faithfully fulfilled his obligations.
In his hands, the sedan chair drivers were completely deflated today, and they tried their best to make the sedan pole tremble several times. The sedan chairs walked very smoothly along the way.
In the end, there were even several palanquin bearers who really regarded this "Zhong Kui" as a true god. Out of awe of its supernatural powers, many people consciously burned several incense sticks in front of the king of the stove after returning home.
However, if you want to say that you were completely shocked by "Zhong Kui", you have to say that it is Hong Lucheng.
Because when he finally came to the gate of the Hong family, this "Zhong Kui" did not enter the door.
After the sentence "Sister, I am separated from you by yin and yang, it is difficult to get together, there will be a period later, please", "Zhong Kui" flashed his sword at Hong Lucheng, who had just gotten out of the car, and ended the escort mission with a singing voice.
And his eyes, the lyrics, and the posture really couldn't help but make Hong Lucheng tremble.
"With my brilliant ghost lights, the shining flags appeared, rows of big ghosts, and teams of small ghosts. Holding peace, holding auspiciousness. The drums and horns beat in unison. The drums and horns beat in unison. Squeezed and crowded, ghosts and ghosts. From now on, we will eliminate demons and slaughter the door after Yongzhen!"
Needless to say, the ghostly aura and murderous intent revealed in this should be a stern warning that this eldest brother expressed to Hong Lucheng in advance. It was also his last gift to his sister.
