Chapter 252: A Cumbersome Wedding

The wedding has not yet begun, and the guests who came to the wedding are all seated in the banquet in the mansion of the Marquis of Sikong, and there are many people who come to the wedding, and there is no place for them, so they can only stand and watch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

People stood in any empty space, especially beside the carpet with gold thread embroidered into lotus flowers, and people stood sideways, because they could not stand, only sideways.

Xiao Baishi, who was sitting in the corner, stood up and saw a black and oppressive head.

The people of the Chu State were all very tall, including women. Now, there are so many people attending the wedding, and besides, the people in the Chu State are so high.

Xiao Pepsi is really, except for the head, you can only see the head. I can't see anything else, it's really sad. Xiao Baishi thought in his heart, he wanted to go to the front to see, but looking at the people, it was better to forget it.

After waiting for a while, finally waiting, the wedding palanquin came.

The preparation time for this wedding is a month, and every day is very busy preparing for the wedding during the month.

After a month of preparation, the wedding finally appeared in front of the world.

Dozens of miles of red makeup.

The carriages lined up from the street to the end of the street, in an orderly manner, and countless roses were scattered on the side of the road, which was specially sent from Dayan for this wedding.

The cold wind swept the fragrance of flowers and pierced the heads of passers-by watching on the roadside, and even the trees all over the city were tied with countless red ribbons, and the roadside was full of soldiers maintaining order.

And this wedding is also prepared before the good day, a day or two in advance, Sikong Yi to the sedan chair and wedding utensils from the sedan chair shop, hanging lamps and colors, and the above feast to entertain the guests, called "light meal". On a good day, at the time of the fifth watch, the Sikong Hou Mansion offered the "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" in the hall with a full set of pigs, sheep or five animal blessings and fruits, commonly known as "enjoying the first". For breakfast, I want to eat "Xiangxian soup fruit".

On the day of the good day, Princess Zi Tao was carried out of the palace of Chu by an eight-laden sedan chair. This eight-person sedan chair is also exquisite, and the sedan chair bearer wears a special satin coat to show off for a while.

Sitting in a sedan chair still contains the meaning of the Ming media being married and the original wife, and the woman can only sit once in her life.

Because of this, the husband and wife in the Central Plains quarreled, and the wife brought a sentence on her lips: I was carried into the door by the big red sedan chair, not by the door, in order to show off the nobility

Along the way, the artillery battles, the red lanterns opened the way, and the wind and blow along the way, and finally when they got home, they had to pour wine for the elders next to each other.

The elders of the Sikong Marquis Mansion are now the only ones left with the old lady Sikong, and for such a grand wedding, the old lady Sikong was also invited to preside over this wedding.

She was dressed in a gorgeous outfit embroidered with bats.

The beautifully embroidered clothes actually set off her plain facial features a lot more exquisitely. The tears in the corners of her eyes are charming and moving, and they are even more charming and moving than Jin Niangniang.

A long time ago, when Jin Niangniang married the old marquis of Sikong. Her bland face, as well as her bland facial features, really makes people speechless. But now, this golden lady looks brighter and more moving.

Seeing such an old lady of Houfu, everyone who attended the wedding had to admit that the old lady of Houfu had a really good eye, and the old lady of Houfu was really good-looking and charming.

Several older people present all nodded, and sure enough, the scandal that caused a sensation in the entire Chu State still had some basis.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion, who has lived in the ancestral hall for a long time, came out this time and saw so many people, she was very nervous, her hands kept tugging at her sleeves, and she didn't dare to look at the guests in the mansion.

Arranged by the maid, she sat down and watched the people who came and went to greet her. At the beginning, I was still a little nervous, but the more I got to the back, the more I became proficient and thoughtful in dealing with people.

The sedan chair is almost here, and Sikong Yi has not yet seen a figure.

Someone approached the housekeeper and said that he was not in sight. The housekeeper was in a hurry, and while dealing with the arrangement, he asked people to hurry to find Sikong Yi.

In the dimly lit new house, the embroidered satin quilt was actually covered with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, which meant "early birth of a noble son", and was actually paved into a circle of hearts.

Sikong Yi stood in the wedding room of the cave room tonight. The curtains of the wedding room were drawn tightly, except for the candlelight.

This wedding is for one person. After preparing for so long, finally, it was given to one person.

He listened to the voices outside. Get up and change your clothes. After changing, take the wedding dress that has been put aside and put it on your body.

"The bride has arrived!" There was a voice outside.

After the sedan car is stopped, the door of the sedan car is unloaded, and a young girl with five or six years of makeup (commonly known as the "sedan chair lady") welcomes the bride out of the sedan chair, and pulls the bride's sleeves three times with her hand to start the sedan chair. The bride stepped out of the sedan chair door and stepped over a vermilion lacquered wooden "saddle", stepping red felt, and standing on the right side of the wedding hall with the help of the bride. At that time, the groom heard the sedan chair enter the door, that is, he pretended to hide elsewhere, and the bouquet of flowers and candles was invited (found) back, standing on the left side.

This is the Central Plains, the rules of the wedding, however, the bride came out in a wheelchair, and after coming out, she saw the wheelchair, and Bai Rui's pupils tightened.

The decoration of the wedding hall is the same as that of various places, but the worship ceremony is slightly different, with the main incense father-in-law, mostly held by the groom's grandfather or grandfather. And since there was no such person in Sikong Hou's Mansion, he actually planned to save it, but Sikong Yi was not allowed, so he found some respected old people to play this role.

The bride showed up in a wheelchair, and so did the groom.

Both protagonists appear.

It's time to start worshipping.

The salute shouts: Go to the temple and pay tribute, play music! Kneel in front of the incense case, all kneel! Incense, two incense, three incense! Prostrate, prostrate, prostrate! The salutant then sings: Ascend, flatten, reset! Kneel, all crispy! Singing: Rise, worship! L, Bye! L, Bye! Sing again: Kneel, all crisp, read the blessing!

It is read by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy kneeling on the right side of the Buddha worship stool (read it well in advance, and cannot be misread). And the salute sings: Rise, worship! L, Bye! L, Bye! The whole process is collectively called "three kneeling, nine prostrations, and six prostrations".

At the end, the salute is sung: After the salute, quit the class, and send it to the cave room! In the meantime, Sikong Yi, Princess Purple Peach was in the church. I heard that there are also rules in the Central Plains: there is a custom of kneeling in front of the head, which means that whoever kneels in front can control the latter in the future, which leads to the joke of kicking the mat while worshipping, and the groom brushes his sleeves and refuses to bow.

After the elaborate worship ceremony, two little girls holding dragon and phoenix candles were guided, and Sikong Yi held a colorful ball ribbon to lead the purple peach princess into the cave room.
