Chapter 53: Diao Chan's Different Life (21)
Lu Bu stood at the door, looking at the person he hadn't seen for half a year, thinking about it for a long time, sitting there quietly, waiting for him in a bright phoenix crown, his heart was drunk.
"Dare to ask the bride, have you dressed up? I've been waiting for a long time for the sedan chair outside!" asked a handsome and graceful queen behind Lu Bu.
"That's right, bride, come out as soon as you're dressed, don't miss the auspicious time!" another person next to him chimed in.
There was a sound of "yes" and "hurry up" all around.
Some of these people were five big and three thick, and at a glance they knew that they were military generals who followed Lu Bu to the battlefield, while others were quite elegant and handsome, and they were young descendants of the big and small officials of the DPRK and China.
Although these people did not turn Lu Bu into their own Chenglong fast son-in-law, they all really liked him and wanted to befriend him, knowing that there were few people in his family, they sent their handsome descendants to help. Therefore, these people behind Lu Bu have both scribes and martial artists. Before Lu Bu could speak, they were noisily helping Lu Bu to make up.
A room of maids and wives crowded to the door, blocking the view of the members of the "make-up group".
"Our bride is more delicate than flowers, and we can't show any sincerity, so why take our bride away?" said a spicy and capable maid.
"Yes, I've been helping the bride dress up for a long time, and my arms are tired and sore, but I don't even have the money to drink saliva!" the other maid chimed in, rubbing her arms as she spoke.
The whole room resounded with the voices of "Oh, I'm so tired" and "The bride we worked so hard to dress up can't be handed over to someone who is not sincere".
The hypnotic group had been prepared for this, and they took out a large pile of copper coins strung with red strings, some in three strings, six in a string, eight in a string, and nine in a string. Four young lads came to the front, and each took a string and put it behind the maids, still muttering as they spoke.
"Three blessings!"
"Six Smooth Hearts!"
"Eight fortunes are full!"
"Nine Healthy Lives!"
Then no one in the make-up group grabbed a string of copper coins and threw them at the back of the maids. Throw it as far as possible, so that these maids and servants can no longer crowd in the way of the door.
"Sincerity is here, everyone go grab it!"
The maids and ladies left the door one after another to grab the copper coins. If you grab it, you can take it back to the children at home to take it on your body, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.
Lu Bu took this opportunity to enter the house and came to Diao Chan.
Diao Chan saw Lu Bu coming to him through the hazy red hijab, and his heart was ironed. According to the rules of the wedding, she could not speak now, but could only sit quietly.
Lu Bu was wearing a groom outfit that was also bright red. Although it is the most difficult red for men to wear, Lu Bu still wears a sense of Xuan Lang and handsome.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He had a lot of things to say to Diao Chan, and wanted to say how much he missed her, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed them.
Seeing this, the brothers in the back urged: "General, hurry up and take the bride away!"
Lu Bu came back to his senses, he stepped forward and took Diao Chan's little hand, and said softly, "Come with me!"
Diao Chan didn't shake his head, nor did he nod.
Tian Xing happily stood behind Diao Chan and said to Lu Bu: "Uncle, my young lady's shoes are missing, how can I go with you!"
"Let's help your young lady find it! If you find it, you have to follow our general!" someone who knew this custom answered later, and then the wave of people brought by Lu Bu scattered around the house to look around.
There are those who look under the bed, there are those who turn over the cabinets, and there are those who turn over the mirror table...... They thought they might have hidden a pair of shoes, but they couldn't find them.
Now everyone is worried. If you don't get married because you can't find shoes, the man will be ashamed.
In the end, they decided to bribe Tian Xing and gave her a silver ingot tied with a red string.
Tian Xing took it with a smile, but didn't tell them where the shoes were, just that they were in this room, and they almost ran into them just now. If she asks anything more, she won't say anything.
At this time, the bride's personal maid is this kind of cheap.
I searched for these handsome young people again, but I still found nothing. They bribed Tian Xing to provide a different clue. Tian Xing took it and said the word "cloth" with a smile.
Cloth, wardrobe and bed!
They turned the two places upside down again, but they still couldn't find them. There is no way, I have to look at Lu Bu's.
Lu Bu walked around the room, and finally stood by the bed, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a shoe from the curtain of the bed tent, and with a stretch of his hand, he felt a second shoe from the curtain on the other side.
Everyone was in an uproar! No matter how much they looked for it, they couldn't find it, but how could Lu Bu find it all at once?
Tian Xing was even more dumbfounded, she thought she could hide it for a while! She couldn't help asking, "Uncle, how did you find it?"
Lu Bu heard that this "uncle" was really pleasant, so he replied: "There is a smell of cicadas on this shoe, and the cicada must have worn it just now." β
Tian Xing was really convinced. The young lady has been wearing it for a while just now, and this aunt can smell it.
She had no choice but to take the shoes and obediently pass them to the young lady.
Lu Bu took out a particularly large red silk flower, put a piece of red silk attached to the flower in Diao Chan's hand, and put the other in his hand, and gently helped Diao Chan to stand up.
The surrounding brothers formed a human wall, separating the other maids and women from the outside, leaving an incomparably smooth path for Lu Bu and Diao Chan.
Lu Bu carefully led the red silk and walked forward with Diao Chan.
Xi Po followed Diao Chan's side and carefully supported her. She could see how attentive Lu Bu was to the bride's eyes. Therefore, he served Diao Chan more diligently.
When crossing the threshold and going down the steps, Lu Bu would stop to help Diao Chan, worried that she would trip. In this way, when he arrived at the main hall of Situ Mansion, Wang Yun and his family were waiting there.
Lu Bu took Diao Chan and came to Wang Yun and his wife, and the people who followed hurriedly put two brocade mats.
Lu Bu knelt on the ground with Diao Chan and kowtowed to the two elders three times.
Wang Yun put on the majesty of his father-in-law and said to Lu Bu sternly: "Lu Bu, Cicada is my most precious daughter, she married you, you can't let her suffer a little." β
Lu Bu hurriedly agreed: "Father-in-law Xie is willing to marry Cicada to me, I promise to be good to her for the rest of my life, you and your mother-in-law can rest assured! If I don't do well, you can whip me with rattan at any time!"
The honest and straightforward words made the people around him laugh.
Wang Yun knows his intentions, and he sees everything he does these days! The sons of other people's families have to indulge for a period of time before marrying, because after marrying, they can't be too casual. But Lu Bu didn't, he had to come to his house every day to sit down, even if it was just to drink a cup of warm tea, even if it was windy and rainy, he would come over without moving.
Wang Yun nodded, and drank Lu Bu's filial piety tea with a smile.
Lu Bu saluted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then saluted his brother-in-law and brother-in-law again before leaving with Diao Chan.
Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and walked a whole circle in the capital with a sedan chair.
When he came to greet his relatives, Lu Bu was nervous and didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else. Now he rides his favorite BMW and marries his favorite girl. Holding his head high, his heart is full of happiness, and he feels that the scenery of the capital is really attractive, and the people around him are so kind, and even the air seems to be floating with the sweet fragrance of flowers.
The welcoming procession resembles a long red dragon. Wang Yun prepared a sufficient dowry for Diao Chan, which was sixty-six lifts. In addition to putting most of the dowry gifts that Lu Bu had sent before, Wang Yun also added a lot of them, which was more grand than marrying his own daughter.
People sent their blessings, picked flowers and threw them to the welcoming procession.
Lu Bu's Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongxiao has been rebuilt into the General's Mansion.
When he came to the front of the mansion, Lu Bu got off the red rabbit horse, squatted in front of the sedan chair, and carried Diao Chan on his back, and then led the red silk with her and entered the main hall to worship heaven and earth.
Before the lisheng sang, Zhuang Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, intended to sell well in front of the groom's official, so he squeezed to Lu Bu's side and whispered to him: "When the general and his wife worship the church, you must kneel down first, and kneel a little closer than the bride." It's better for you!"
Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "Why?"
"It's called kneeling. Zhuang Yan frowned and said: "Kneel first, and the person who kneels in front will be able to control the person kneeling behind at home in the future! How can we be a dignified husband and be pressed down by a woman? So you must kneel first." I told you this because I admired you, General. I don't bother to say anything else!"
Lu Bu was thoughtful.
When Lisheng began to shout, "The cigarettes are ethereal, the lights and candles are brilliant, the bride and groom are on the flower hall!", Lu Bu hurriedly stood up with Diao Chan.
Lisheng continued to shout: "Worship heaven and earth!" The end of the note dragged on for a long time. Lu Bu knelt down with Diao Chan.
However, Zhuang Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was stunned to see Lu Bu quietly take half a step back and slowly kneel, letting the bride kneel down in front of him. Zhuang Yan thought that he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, yes! As soon as he told Lu Bu, he deliberately knelt behind him and gave his head to the bride.
This Lu Bu! Zhuang Yan scratched his head depressedly. He had thought about marrying his youngest daughter to Lu Bu as a concubine before! Lu Bu was so young, but he had such military exploits, it was possible to be crowned king in the future. His youngest daughter marrying him seems to be a little wronged at present, but in the long run, it is not necessarily. If she can be a side princess in the future, it will be good! But looking at Lu Bu's current respect for this bride, Cheng DΓΉ, he even deliberately let go of the kneeling salute, and his daughter is afraid that she can't compare to this lady, so forget it!
Zhuang Yan thought with annoyance.
