Chapter 251: Greeting Relatives
"Quick, the greeting party has arrived. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Don't waste time, hurry up and put the Xipa on the bed and sit on the bed. ”
Mrs. Wu wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and hurriedly pushed Wu Tianrou to sit on the bed, reached out and took the big red dragon and phoenix hijab handed over by Cuiping, and gently covered Wu Tianrou's head.
The sight in front of her was suddenly blocked by the red hijab, although she knew that Mrs. Wu was beside her, but Wu Tianrou suddenly felt nervous and scared, and seemed to be at a loss for her future life.
"Madam, you accompany Rou'er, I'll go out to meet the prince."
Gently patting Wu Tianrou's shoulder, Wu Yunyang nodded to Mrs. Wu and walked out of the room.
Today is the day of Wu Tianrou's wedding, and Mrs. Wu and Wu Yunyang have all changed into newly ordered clothes. At this time, Wu Yunyang was wearing a royal blue new clothes, and the whole person looked a lot younger.
"Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law."
Situ Jingtian, who was wearing a prince python robe, walked into the hall, and immediately knelt down to Wu Yunyang, who had just sat down, and soon, Mrs. Wu, who was notified, also walked out, and Situ Jingtian bowed down again.
This is the custom of Tianshui Kingdom, no matter what your identity is, on the day of the wedding, you have to bow to your parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law. Of course, there is only one exception in the whole world, and that is the emperor.
"Okay, the prince, please get up."
Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction, and hurriedly stretched out their hands to signal Situ Sedum to get up.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"The old lady is here!"
Just when Mrs. Wu seemed to have something to say to Situ Jingtian, a sudden voice from outside the door interrupted her words.
"Mother, you're here, your body is ......"
Mrs. Wu hurriedly stood up, took a few steps forward and grabbed one of Mrs. Wu's arms.
"It's okay, today is Rou'er's big day, and I want to come and see the old woman anyway. Ha ha! ”
Mrs. Wu was wearing a dark jujube red cardigan, her gray hair was neatly combed and meticulous, with a smile on her face, her complexion was ruddy, and her whole person looked much better.
Mrs. Wu and Mother Pei helped Mrs. Wu and carefully sat Mrs. Wu down.
"Son-in-law Situ Sedum, meet the old lady."
Seeing that Mrs. Wu was sitting firmly, Situ Jingtian lifted the hem of the prince's python robe and knelt down.
"Haha, okay, okay, please get up quickly."
Looking at Situ Sedum kneeling in front of her, Old Madam Wu smiled charitantly and squinted her eyes with a satisfied smile.
"Old woman, I also watched the prince grow up, I don't have to worry about Rou'er handing over to you, old woman. However, the old woman still has to say one more thing, I hope that the prince can treat my family Rou'er well, don't let it down. ”
"Old lady, don't worry, Rou'er is my beloved, and the kid will not fail her."
Nodding heavily, Situ Jingtian said sincerely, he was completely speaking as a husband who was about to become a husband, and he didn't use his identity as a prince at all, which shows that he is very sincere in this sentence.
"Okay, I'll be relieved of the old woman."
A few people said this here, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites outside the door couldn't help but remind them.
"Lord Prince, Lord Wu, this auspicious time is coming, don't miss the auspicious time."
"Okay, let Zixu carry Rou'er out, let's go, let's go out and have a look."
Today, Mrs. Wu's spirit is very strong, and she stood up with a smile after listening to the words of the official who oversaw the rites of the Ministry of Rites.
According to the customs of Tianshui Kingdom, when the bride is married, the bride cannot touch the ground before reaching the groom's house. Generally, the bride's own brother, the bride or the groom's official will carry the bride to the sedan chair.
"Old lady, the slave and maid help you out, we are not in a hurry, Quanfu people still have to "sweep the sedan chair", "smoke the sedan chair", "shine the sedan chair", this set of processes will take some time. ”
Mother Pei helped Mrs. Wu and said with a smile while walking slowly.
"Okay, then let's walk slowly."
With the sound of laughter, everyone walked towards the gate of Wu Mansion, and Wu Zixu had already taken the first step towards Wu Tianrou's Yunxiang Courtyard.
When Wu Yunyang and the others slowly walked to the gate, the Quanfu people had already started the process of "sweeping the sedan chair", "smoking the sedan chair" and "lighting the sedan chair" according to the auspicious time calculated by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
The so-called "sweeping sedan chair" refers to the fact that Quanfu people use a broom to symbolically sweep away the dust in the sedan chair. "Smoked sedan chair" refers to the fact that after the Quanfu people sweep the sedan chair, they use a handful of high incense to smoke and dye the sedan chair to fill it with aroma.
And this "sedan chair" is by the Quanfu people take a hand mirror to illuminate the corners of the sedan chair in all directions, so as to avoid the legendary filth hiding in the sedan chair.
According to the tradition of Tianshui Kingdom, those who do these things must be the parents who are alive, the children are both complete, the husband and wife are loving, and the brothers and sisters live in harmony to hold this position, which is also a good wish for the bride and groom to live in a new life.
When the Quanfu people have done a good job of the processes of "sweeping the sedan chair", "smoking the sedan chair" and "lighting the sedan chair", Wu Zixu has also carried Wu Tianrou on his back and strode over.
"Grandmother, Father, Mother......"
When Wu Zixu walked past Wu Yunyang, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu on his back, Wu Tianrou couldn't help but reach out and took Mrs. Wu's hand.
"Good boy, the auspicious time for the sedan chair to depart is coming, let's go in quickly."
Holding back the reluctance in her heart, Mrs. Wu shook Wu Tianrou's hand tightly, then let go of her palm, and motioned to Wu Zixu to send Wu Tianrou to the sedan chair.
"Grandmother!"
"Well, let's get on the sedan chair, don't miss the auspicious time, grandmother will wait at home for my Rou'er to return to the door in three days."
Old Madam Wu nodded with a smile and said softly.
Immediately, Wu Tingrou was sent into the sedan chair by Wu Zixu and Cuiping, and the curtain of the sedan chair fell, and Wu Tingrou could no longer see everything outside.
"Get up!"
With a joyful shout from the bride, the sedan chair was lifted, and then the firecrackers were ignited. The crackling sound of firecrackers was accompanied by the sound of gongs, drums and suona, and the welcoming team walked towards the outside of the city.
The sedan chair will first walk around Anjing City before returning to the Prince's Mansion. Theoretically, the bride needs to be welcomed into the groom's home before the auspicious time, and this is an hour that should not be missed.
However, it is also necessary to give the newlyweds time to visit the church, so the general greeting team will return to the groom's house around the time of the wedding, so as to facilitate the wedding.
"The son-in-law will set off now, and the father-in-law can go to the prince's mansion first to wait."
With a fist salute towards Wu Yunyang, Situ Jingtian turned over and stepped on the horse and chased towards the sedan chair in front of him.
The red team was accompanied by the snow on the side of the road, and in this deep winter season, in the pure white world, Wu Tianrou and Situ Sedum's wedding began. (To be continued.) )
