Chapter 459: The Big Wedding (Part II)

The Zhu Gate of Yuan's Mansion was wide open, and a long incense case was placed in the center, and Yuan Zhongdao and other men of the Yuan family stood in front of the incense case, and the servants on both sides were waiting in a regular manner, as for the female dependents who had just blocked the door, they had long disappeared.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Lu Shuo didn't dare to delay, hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped forward in a few steps, knelt down in front of Yuan Zhongdao, and made a big salute.

It wasn't until Yuan Zhongdao helped him up with both hands that Lu Shuo took a pair of geese from Uncle Bai behind him and handed them to the Yuan family with his own hands.

This pair of geese is very fat, looking silly, with dark gray feathers shiny, which was personally hunted by Lu Shuo a few days ago.

Taking geese as a ritual is one of the important wedding customs in ancient times.

In the "Rites", it is called "Dian Yan".

Just because the goose is only married once in his life, the spouse will be inseparable after that, if one of the two dies, the other will be a single shadow and will never marry again for life, which means that the steadfastness, the chorus of the piano, and the old age together, and the wedding is just right.

Lu Shuo is the grandson of the Yuan family, and this marriage was decided by the two families willingly, so Yuan Zhongdao and the others naturally would not be too embarrassed by Lu Shuo.

After some court training, seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, Yuan Zhongdao directly instructed the housekeeper behind him to invite the bride and bridesmaids in the backyard to send his wife out, and prepare to get on the sedan chair.

At this time, the music sounded, Yuan Wenyi wore a red phoenix crown and a bright red hijab on his head, and walked out step by step with the support of the bridesmaids and the wife of the relatives.

Lu Shuo stood in the middle of the courtyard, watching Yuan Wenyi walk towards him step by step, the two were dozens of meters apart, but they seemed to be thousands of miles apart, and every step was so slow.

Somehow, looking at Yuan Wenyi in front of him, a special feeling suddenly rose in Lu Shuo's heart, and his heart fluttered, until this moment, the tension, excitement, and uncertainty of marriage, all kinds of mixed feelings came to his heart, and it calmed down over time.

This is his wife, the one who will spend the rest of his life with him in the future.

Thinking like this, Lu Shuo smiled.

Seeing that Yuan Wenyi finally came closer, Lu Shuo squatted down violently and hugged him.

"Shhhh

There was a gasp all around.

Everyone didn't expect that Lu Shuo would suddenly make this move.

This is also understandable, there are really few grooms who personally carry the bride on the sedan chair in ancient times, not to mention that Lu Shuo is still a scholar!

Everyone thought that he was weak and would not do this, and they didn't think about it at all, who knew that Lu Shuo would do it.

Yuan Wenyi was also surprised.

Although she didn't speak, Lu Shuo clearly felt her stiff, and then she grabbed Lu Shuo's sleeve and hugged him tightly.

Seeing her act like this, Lu Shuo smiled even more heartily, and said in a low voice: "Hold it tight!" Ignoring the eyes of the people around him, he bowed slightly to Yuan Zhongdao and Tao and the others, and went out directly.

Placing Yuan Wenyi firmly in the sedan chair, Lu Shuo got on the tall horse in front of him and walked in front to open the way for the team behind.

After that, in turn, through the evasion cards, drummers, gongs, lanterns, flags, etc., at the same time, the families on both sides of the family dressed up in a new way, holding various "weapons" such as gourds, axes, stirrups and so on, escorted around the welcoming team, looking so imposing!

This team is a very common phenomenon when greeting relatives, and most of them imitate the honor guard of the emperor's travel, which looks very imposing.

It's just that the Jingguo Mansion has made a lot of money this time, plus the groom is a Tanhualang, the bride is a Confucian granddaughter, and there is a reward from Emperor Hui Chong at the front, which soon attracted a large number of onlookers, who watched excitedly.

The appearance of the groom, the family history of the two families...... And so on, all of which have become topics of discussion.

However, the most talked about is the dowry of the Yuan family.

I saw a box of dowries decorated with red cloth flowers, a full 116 lifts, full of lifts, looking at the weight is not light, even the first dowry has gone out of the alley, the last lift has not been carried out of the house, it can be regarded as causing a lot of sensation.

You must know that the regulations for princesses to marry today are only one hundred and thirty-two.

The princess is the daughter of the heavenly family, so the daughters of commoners and nobles are not allowed to cross this number.

Even when Emperor Hui Chong married Empress Chen, the Chen family only paid a dowry of one hundred and twenty in that sensational wedding.

It can be seen that the Yuan family's one hundred and sixteen dowry is really not light, and the Yuan family is really willing!

No matter what the people around them said, the Lu family's welcoming team did not stop for a while, and soon went out of the alley, blowing and blowing along the street to the Jingguo Mansion.

It's just that because of the marriage "no turning back", the Lu family did not walk the same road as when they came, but chose another more lively street.

There are a lot of shops on this road, and the pedestrians rub shoulders with each other, so the speed of the procession will slow down a lot, and it will take more than an hour for the procession to finally stop in front of the Jingguo Mansion before the auspicious time of worship.

At this time, the Jingguo Mansion was also closed as usual.

This is different from the bride's house with the door closed, in order to discourage the bride's temperament.

Lu Shuo sat on the horse, looking at the scene in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, but because of the rules, he didn't say anything, only sighed, thinking that the world was harsh on women, and he should be better to his wife in the future.

After a while, the gate of the Jingguo Mansion finally opened, Lu Shuo rode a horse, led the team behind him to the mansion, passed the Yi Gate, and stopped when he arrived at the Nei Yi Gate.

At this time, whether it is the Lu family or the guests who follow Eli Lilly today, they are already waiting here, and the hall where everyone is staying has also been renovated, and the dress is beaming, with the Luo family sitting at the top, and Lu Yun and Yuan sitting at the bottom, but they are also sitting in the center.

Today, the three of them are all direct elders, and they can be regarded as one of the protagonists.

The sedan chair stopped at the courtyard, and the team of sending off relatives, as well as Yuan Wenlin and Yuan Wenji, and several other brothers who followed the send-off, all followed the guidance of the Lu family steward and walked into the courtyard on the side to rest.

When the mother's family is gone, the sedan chair stays in the courtyard for a moment, and when the time to get off the sedan chair arrives, the sedan chair door moves again and carries the sedan chair to the main entrance of the hall.

At this time, Lu Shuo finally walked to the front of the sedan chair.

According to the rules, Lu Shuo made three gestures towards the sedan door in order to show his love and courtesy to the bride and respect each other as a guest.

Waiting until Lu Shuo straightened his waist, the wife opened the sedan door, and the bridesmaids inside helped Yuan Wenyi get off the sedan chair and walked out slowly.
