The new style of marriage, that is, civilized marriage, appeared in the metropolises and commercial ports on the southeast coast in the late Qing Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, civilized families held new-style weddings to symbolize their departure from old customs and into the new era. Therefore, all walks of life are gradually proud of holding new weddings, and they are fashionable.

On December 24, 1921, the day before Christmas, Westerners called it Christmas Eve, the tenth year of the Republic of China, the twenty-sixth day of November in the old calendar, the zodiac said: everything is smooth, it is appropriate to marry, and everything is appropriate.

Early in the morning, my sister had picked me up from the quilt and dressed me as before.

Jade has decided to marry with me to the He family, and at this time she is busy preparing the last things to be used with her sister's maid.

The embroidery building was crowded with people, those who came to join in the fun, those who really helped, and those like the second aunt who didn't know whether to congratulate or add to the chaos. The children ran back and forth in the corridor, chasing and fighting, and there was a kind of joy and noise about the New Year.

My mother invited a Quanfu mother from my uncle's family to open my face, and although it was a new-style wedding, she still prepared for me one by one according to the old customs.

Last night, she lived with me in the embroidery building, tears kept falling from her eyes, and she said that because there was something at home, she asked me to marry in a hurry, and her conscience was really uneasy. But after all, the trivial matters big and small have been arranged properly in the past two months. Now, the third aunt and aunt stood beside me, one left and one right, looking at the unfestive face in the mirror, and sighing lowly.

I smiled lightly, looked at them and said, "On the big day, my aunt and aunt learned to sigh. It can't be infected by my mother, right? ”

My aunt's eyes were red, and she leaned on my shoulder and sighed, "Ah Zhao, my aunt knows that I have wronged you."

When I heard her say this, I couldn't help but be surprised, and I looked at her without speaking.

"You don't have to hide it from me, I listened to my eldest brother. If it weren't for the ...... at home He would not agree to the He family's courtship. I think when it was March 3, our family ......"

"Auntie, don't say it, I am willing to marry the He family."

The third aunt also went to pull her aunt, "Auntie, on the big day, let's not talk about these past words, there are guests waiting for us in the front hall, we might as well go to the front hall to help my sister-in-law." Ah Zhao is also done here, just waiting for the auspicious time to come, and the wedding car of the He family is coming. ”

My aunt was speechless, so she had to stand up and look at me wearing red makeup, and nodded, "The white yarn on the left and right will only be changed when I go to the He family, so you can whisper to your mother and sister first, and we will go to the front hall to guard the door." ”

After that, the aunt took the third aunt's hand and went down to the embroidery building.

All of a sudden there were only mother, sister and jade left in the house.

Mother Yin Yin said: "I went to the He family for a while, Jade you have to follow the second miss at any time, you know?" Although the He family also has a girl and an old mother, but after all, you are not familiar with life, and it is inevitable that there will be places that are not well taken care of, Jade, I am here today, and I will solemnly hand over the second lady to you to take care of, I will not be by her side in the future, I hope you can treat her to the best of your heart, and it will not be in vain for you and my master and servant. ”

Jade nodded and kowtowed to her mother three times: "Jade is taken in by Mrs. and rescued by the eldest lady, from now on, she will definitely follow her wife's wishes and take care of the second miss, please rest assured that Mrs. and the eldest lady will be relieved."

I looked at their solemn appearances, and couldn't help but walk over to help Jade up, and said to my mother, "Mom, my daughter will take care of herself, don't worry."

"Good boy, what should be said and what should not be said, my mother has instructed you, I just hope you treat yourself well, start over, and try to accept your uncle."

My sister, who had never spoken, also said at this time: "Ah Zhao, the matter has come to this, only by accepting it well can you not disappoint the people who love you."

Live up to the people who love me?

I muttered this sentence repeatedly, as if I remembered the situation on the street that day, and he stood quietly in the distance, finally drifting away from me.

Doesn't it mean that if you continue to be thorough, you will not be happy? Why keep an eye on you?

At about nine o'clock, the wedding car of the He family appeared in Jiangning Fang on time, and the guests rushed to the He Mansion with the wedding car to prepare for the formal wedding ceremony.

As a witness, the teacher had arrived at the auditorium arranged by the He family early, and the magnificent He Mansion had already been newly decorated, whether it was in the garden or in the hall, it was decorated with pink and white roses. The red carpet began to roll out from the gate into the He family, stretched all the way through the garden, all the way to the entrance of the auditorium.

The He family's wedding banquet was prepared for three days, starting from the first day of Christmas Eve until the three dynasties returned to the door.

He Jiuming said that because the engagement banquet was held in a hurry, the wedding banquet had to be handled in a big way. I don't have any right to question this, the He family is a politician, and when their son marries, they naturally want to feast guests. Xu is Uncle He knows that I am impatient with reporters, and they only allow one newspaper to report on our wedding. Therefore, "Jinling Daily" has attracted much expectation and attention from the outside world because of its exclusive authorization.

In the center of the auditorium hung two red, yellow, blue, white and black national flags of the "Republic of the Five Nationalities", the flagpoles crossed each other and decorated with colorful tassels at the intersections, and the colorful flags of all nations pulled up by red ropes crossed on the roof fluttered with the breeze outside the house.

On the long table, a red mercerized cloth sparkles in the light, and two marriage certificates with square paper sleeves, three printing boxes, a bunch of hand flowers, and a pair of flower baskets are placed on it. The gifts sent by the relatives and friends of the He and Liu families were displayed one by one in front of this gift case for the guests to watch at any time.

When the auspicious time came, I wore a white dress specially made for me by the He family from Paris, wearing a white veil on my head and a flower crown to tie my hair, accompanied by two children, and walked slowly from the entrance of the auditorium.

I don't know who shouted, "The bride is here!" ”

The auditorium, which was still noisy just now, instantly fell silent, and I saw the teacher waiting on the stage in front of me as a witness and wedding host, and there was a man in an expensive white suit, that is, Uncle He.

At this moment, he was turning around and smiling at me.

The hall is well-lit and full of flowers. All the relatives and guests of the He and Liu families looked back at me walking towards them and greeted me with a smile. There were whispers coming into the eardrums, all of which were curious about the acquaintance between me and Uncle He. There are also people who don't understand why the He family would marry the daughter of such a not very famous or even declining family, the discussion is endless, some people are happy and some are sad, and a unique wedding banquet officially kicked off its curtain.
