On the eighth day of August, from Hangzhou City along the shore of the West Lake, to Tianzhu, Qipan Mountain is shrouded in a strong sense of joy all the way. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this day is the auspicious day for Bai Zhijie, the eldest son of Wulin Taidou to ask the Sword Pavilion, to marry Miss Nanjing Oriental Family.

Early in the morning, many people had gathered at the canal wharf in Hangzhou. I saw that a colorful platform was set up at the landing place, and flowers cut out of various colors were hung, and the red palace lamp hung with golden and emerald green ears swaying in the morning light. The people sent by the Bai family were already standing on the dock, waiting eagerly for the ship of the Dongfang family to send off their relatives. The locals are talking about it, this question is really kind and charitable, his eldest son married, not only lively the whole city, but also on the main street for three days in a row to set up a hundred family banquets, giving alms to the poor. Therefore, on the day of greeting relatives, many people in Hangzhou went out to watch and celebrate together.

The sun is rising, there are more and more people on the wharf, scarves and hats are crowded, and many women and children also come to join in the fun, all wanting to see the demeanor of Miss Nanjing Oriental Family. Suddenly, the noise of gongs and drums came from the end of the long street, and everyone turned their heads to pay attention. From a distance, I saw a tall horse coming majestically, and the immediately dressed rider was the general manager of Wenjian Pavilion, Hu Da, and the two family members behind him held avoidance signs, and the crowd became more and more noisy. I saw that behind the evasion card was a team of honor guards, with more than 10 people among the drummers, beating gongs and drums, playing flutes and suona, shaking their heads and moving forward slowly. On both sides, there are family members with high lanterns, flags, umbrella covers, big fans, and behind them are surrounded by gourds, axes, Fang Tian halberds, stirrups towards the sky, Shi Shi comes, and the indescribable style is mighty. Later, the young man wearing a green robe, a hat with gold flowers, a red silk, and a white horse was Bai Zhijie, the eldest son of the Bai family.

The crowd was buzzing at this point.

"I heard that Miss Dongfang's brother is a former champion, and he is currently a member of the Nanjing Rite Department."

"Young Master Bai is so blessed."

"I think it's a flower on cow dung. Don't you all know what kind of virtue this young master Bai has? Embroidered pillows with a pack of grass. ”

"What nonsense. People are also right. Besides, who knows if it's flowers or not. ”

"Hey. Take a look, take a look. The ship is coming! ”

In the anticipation of everyone, the ship of the Dongfang family to send off relatives slowly docked. I saw that the boat was also full of lights, many brightly dressed family members stood on the side of the boat, and an old man at the bow of the boat was the old housekeeper Peng. At this time, the Bai family's welcoming team also arrived at the wharf, and the chief manager Hu took the groom and several family members holding red lacquer plates to take the lead on the boat, first saluted the old housekeeper Peng, and distributed all the gift money on the plate to the servants of the Oriental family, and sent a large red paper package of congratulatory gifts to the old housekeeper Peng. Tables, chairs, tea and wine had already been set up on the ship, and the old housekeeper Peng entertained the groom and others on the deck for a while, and the ladies of the Bai family who received their relatives also boarded the ship one after another at this time and entered the cabin to welcome Miss Dongfang. The drums on the shore are non-stop and lively.

After a while, there was a lot of noise. "Yikes! The bride is out! "Hey, that's beautiful."

Dongfang Lin was dressed in a big red wedding dress, and his head was covered with a square silk embroidered with gold and beads, and he slowly walked out of the cabin with the support of his female dependents, and immediately the servants of the Bai family spread the red felt carpet forward on the ground one by one. The onlookers all admired the bride's exquisite clothes, only to see that the silk shirt was embroidered with colorful butterflies of different sizes, the sun was shining, the sleeves were flicking, and the butterfly wings were shining brightly, as if they were about to fly away from the clothes. Zhucui wraps around the waist, the ring is draped, eight Hunan skirts, and gold thread pressing. Look at her well-proportioned figure, dignified walking, although you can't see your face, most of them are a beautiful woman. Many people couldn't take their eyes off and judged.

Sure enough, someone suddenly said: "Scholar, why is this young lady with big feet." ”

"Well, sure enough."

"I heard that their family is a dart game, and I asked that the Sword Pavilion is also a martial arts family, what's so strange about Big Foot." "Oh, what kind of martial arts do women practice?"

……

In the noisy and indistinguishable discussion, the bride got into the sedan chair, the groom and the officials got back on the horse, played new music in the music class, and turned around and went home. The people of the Oriental family also set off to follow behind the sedan chair, through the downtown area, out of the city along the north shore of the West Lake, and came to Tianzhu Ridge. Firecrackers were set off several times along the way, and copper coins were distributed to onlookers. There were many good deeds following the team, and it turned out that when they arrived at the Wenjian Pavilion Manor, everyone who came had food to entertain them.

Approaching noon, the manor of the Sword Pavilion was full of people. The trees on both sides of the road up the mountain are wrapped in red silk, and the road that is usually very quiet is full of people at the moment. Early in the morning, a flowing water banquet was set up outside the manor to entertain the neighbors and villagers in ten miles and eight towns. The Lord of the White Pavilion is well-known in this area, whether it is to congratulate the great joy or to eat wine and dinner, they are all treated equally. Wuwei, when Sima Xin and Fang Tongbao arrived at the main gate of the villa, the flowing water banquet had been eaten several times, and there were still people seated.

Sima Xin handed over the invitation, and a family member came to lead the way and led the three into the atrium. This is where the Lord's family entertains guests. The mountain villa is very large, built according to the mountain, up and down are scattered, the flowers and trees are flourishing, there is not much carving, it is quite natural and interesting. The main hall has set up a heaven and earth god case, both sides are full of flowers and fruits, high red candles, Mr. Zanli is directing several family members to carefully check in the hall, do not omit anything.

There are sixteen large tables in the atrium, and at this time more than half of the seats are full, and there are many people who look like knights, and some are about the nearby squires, rich people, and the one who is dressed very formally and decently, has elegant manners, and the one who greets the guests during the banquet must be Bai Mengyang, the master of the Sword Pavilion. At this time, Sima Xin said: "Two, that is my uncle." With that, he took Wuwei and Fang Tongbao and walked straight to Bai Mengyang.

Bai Mengyang also saw the three of them, said hello to the guests, and greeted them. Seeing this, Sima Xin respectfully said, "Uncle is fine." I came to congratulate my mother on behalf of my family. I wish my cousin a happy couple. Time is in a hurry, I have not prepared a thin courtesy, and I hope to forgive me. Bai Mengyang returned the salute and smiled: "It's good that the virtuous nephew can come." You have been treating my father, I should thank you and what kind of gift do you have. He looked at Wuwei and asked, "You must be your friends?" Wu Wei looked at this world-famous martial arts master, his appearance was dignified, his speech was kind, and he was quite impressed. Sima Xin said: "Exactly." This is Shangguan Gongzi, and this is Mr. Fang. Wu Wei immediately saluted Bai Mengyang and said: "Don't take the liberty to visit together, and I have admired the name of the Lord of the White Pavilion for a long time." Bai Mengyang said politely: "Of course, my nephew's friend is my honored guest. You may be seated, you may be seated. The four of them were polite and sat down to chat for a while. In fact, from early in the morning, Wuwei is absent-minded, and at this time he sits on the seat and is polite to others, and even has a feeling of forced laughter.

After Bai Mengyang said goodbye to entertain the other guests, Fang Tongbao suddenly said: "Shangguan Gongzi, I see why are you a little unhappy?" But it's too noisy here? Wuwei was taken aback, immediately smiled, and said again and again: "No, no." I'm not used to it. "Bow your head and drink tea. Sima Xin glanced at him, raised his glass and drank tea, and was silent.

The three of them spoke without saying a word, watching the new guests around them, and in a short time, the courtyard was full. After another moment or so, I heard someone outside the door shouting, "The newcomer has arrived—"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and a family member rushed in from outside the door, panting and saying, "Master, here you are!" It's almost at the gate. Bai Mengyang was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and tell the back, please ask the lady to come out." "The family has to order to run towards the back hall.

After a while, I only heard the sound of gongs and drums from afar outside the door, and there were already family members and mothers-in-law waiting at each door, and when they heard the sound, they opened all the courtyard doors from the gate to the atrium. Before long, someone came to report that the bride had gotten off the sedan chair, and the queen also came to report, and the lady and the ladies had also arrived in the hall.

After a few rounds of comings and goings, everything is ready, and the guests will wait and see. At this time, there were many people outside the gate of the atrium, and the newcomers came slowly one after the other, surrounded by the daughters of a family. Bai Zhijie held one end of the red silk in his hand, and the other end was in Dongfang Lin's hand. Everyone raised their glasses to the bridegroom to congratulate him.

Sima Xin and the other three stood behind and watched, their eyes full of vermilion and laughter, inaction was lonely for a while, self-deprecating for a while, and watched the newcomer walk through the crowd in a daze. Coldly, Sima Xin said softly: "If I were you, I wouldn't be stupid and stand here still." These words were like thunder, Wuwei's heart was cold, and suddenly it was like a scoop of cold water empowerment, and his heart calmed down all of a sudden, and he turned his head and said, "Brother Sima, don't laugh." Sima Xin was a little surprised when he saw that his face changed, and Shaoqing said, "Brother Shangguan, don't be weird." ”

The hall was full of family and guests. The auspicious time is coming, the newlyweds stand in the middle hall, Bai Mengyang and his wife Sima sit on both sides of the heaven and earth shrine, full of joy. As soon as the sound sounded, I only listened to Mr. Zanli slowly sing: "In the mid-autumn moon, Lan Gui Qi Fang, the two geese dance, the candle shines in the high hall, the golden wind and jade dew will be a good time, the case is raised with the eyebrows and Jiakang, the knot is tied and the three lives are loved, and the children and grandchildren will last for a hundred years." Please come forward—"

In the eyes of everyone, he saluted: "Worship heaven and earth-"

The bridegroom bowed in response. But the bride still stood there motionless.

"Worship heaven and earth—" Zanli was slightly stunned, and raised his voice to say again.

The bride still didn't move.

The people in the hall began to look at each other, and Madame Sima couldn't sit still, and hurriedly glanced at the female envoy who had just guided the bride. The lady hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to the bride, "Hurry up." Everyone's eyes were burning, and the groom's face was a little unbearable, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand and be anxious.

Wu Wei and the other three were standing at the door of the hall at this time, and when they saw this situation, they couldn't help but come forward. But seeing that the praise was a little helpless, he said to the bride, "What's the matter?" Worship heaven and earth. ...... are you" At this time, Bai Mengyang stood up from his seat and said to the old housekeeper Peng who was standing aside: "Old Peng, what is the matter with your young lady?" It's not that my family is slacking off. Old Butler Peng's face remained unchanged, and he stepped forward and said, "Don't blame the White Pavilion Master. Mademoiselle definitely didn't mean that. I'll speak, I'll speak. ”

I had never seen such a situation, and all the guests held their breath at this time, pricked up their ears, and only heard the old housekeeper Peng whisper: "Miss, it's still the same sentence, since you have left the cabinet, everything is up to you." After a slight hesitation, he said: "Be cautious, there is no shore to turn back." ”

What a word! Many people looked stunned. Bai Mengyang's face suddenly looked bad, and he stepped forward and said to the bride: "Miss Dongfang, you are from the family of Shili, marriage matters, parents are in charge, since you are out of the cabinet, you should obey your aunt, how can you make your own decisions." Please also ask Miss Dongfang to put her parents' family first, and hurry up to become a gift. ”

Wuwei listened, and an inexplicable dissatisfaction arose in his heart, and he stretched his neck to see how Dongfang Lin coped. Everyone in the hall began to talk about it, gossiping, and saying everything. Bai Mengyang's face full of spring breeze earlier was now ugly like a bitter gourd that had been frosted, and Mrs. Sima fidgeted, frowning and talking to the maid beside her. Sima Xin, who was still casually drinking by himself, was staring at Dongfang Lin intently at this time, and the wine in the cup was about to pour out.

At this juncture, Dongfang Lin suddenly stretched out his hand, ripped off the red Luopa on his head, looked directly at Bai Mengyang with his eyes, and said, "White Pavilion Master, I'm sorry. I don't want to get married. "It's not loud, but it's categorical.
