Chapter 207: Chapel
Therefore, it is the wisest choice not to agree to Jiang Cuiliu's request, although it is a bit unkind.
Jiang Cuiliu saw that Liu Susu had no idea of helping his eldest brother, and he was not reluctant. I still chatted with Liu Susu for a while. But the words will always be brought to her eldest brother as if nothing is there, and even talk about the relationship between their brothers and sisters.
tried to arouse Liu Susu's sympathy, but although Liu Susu felt that Jiang Cuiliu and her eldest brother were not very comfortable. But after all, it is a farmer's family. Of course, it is impossible to live comfortably every day.
"Cousin Cuiliu, it's not that I don't help your eldest brother, it's just that I can't do anything." Liu Susu once again politely refused Jiang Cuiliu's request for help.
Jiang Cuiliu finally gave up. He smiled bitterly: "If what I just said makes you feel uncomfortable, please forgive me." ”
Liu Susu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, no matter who has their dearest relatives, it's not a big deal to plan for their relatives." It's just a pity that I didn't help you, Cousin Cuiliu. Although Liu Susu couldn't help Jiang Cuiliu's eldest brother, she still felt a little guilty when she heard Jiang Cuiliu say so many things related to her eldest brother.
Jiang Cuiliu shook her head and said, "Sister Su, you don't have to care. Although you didn't promise to help me today, I want to be a **** to ask you for something, I think you will not be embarrassed to refuse me at that time. ”
Liu Susu nodded and said with a smile: "That's natural, if I can help when the time comes, I'll do my best." ”
Then Jiang Cuiliu didn't talk to anyone anymore, and soon arrived at Jiang Cuiliu's in-law's house, Zhao's house.
The Zhao family's decoration today is more festive than that of the Jiang family, and you can see the lights everywhere from afar.
Liu Susu smiled and said to Liu Manman: "Eldest sister, look. ”
Liu Manman nodded, "Susu, let's not get separated later." ”
Liu Susu naturally knew that the eldest sister was worried about herself, so she would say hello to her in advance.
Liu Susu nodded, "Wait a while, wait for the matchmaker to send Cousin Cuiliu into the cave room." Let's go back. "Just go back and ask the Aunt Tan who is spreading gossip everywhere.
Liu Manman knew that Liu Susu was going to take him to the place he had just told him, so naturally he would not object. On the contrary, there are still some expectations in my heart. I don't know where Susu will take herself.
But it's not about that yet, because the matchmaker has already invited the groom to the front of the sedan chair.
"Eldest sister, what is the groom going to do?" Liu Susu asked puzzled.
Liu Manman shook his head and said, "I don't know either. ”
I saw the bridegroom kick the car door three times with his right foot.
The matchmaker hurriedly sang: "The groom official kicked the sedan door." ”
Then the girl who thought she was twenty-eight years old came out of the house. helped Jiang Cuiliu out of the sedan chair. Jiang Cuiliu's hands were still tightly holding the two big red apples she had taken before going out.
"Sister-in-law, watch your step." The girl who was holding Jiang Cuiliu said.
Jiang Cuiliu looked down and saw that she had already reached the brazier. The other sisters who followed Jiang Cuiliu to send off their relatives hurriedly helped Jiang Cuiliu lift the hem of her skirt. Jiang Cuiliu stepped over the brazier.
It was when I entered the main hall that the incense table was decorated in the hall. Parents and elders are stationed in the east, relatives are stationed in the west, relatives are stationed in the north, and juniors are stationed in the south. Before worshipping the church, the bridegroom should be hung with red and draped over the groom with a five-foot red cloth.
The matchmaker said: "Holding a red flag five feet long, I use it to play the groom, so that the groom gives birth to a noble son, and the early noble son is the champion." "When he worships, the bridegroom stands on his left. The bride stands on the right, and is called by the rite student: one worships heaven and earth, two worships the ancestors, three worships the high hall, and four husbands and wives worship each other.
Jiang Cuiliu and the groom of the Zhao family worshiped heaven and earth according to the matchmaker's chant.
After the elaborate worship ceremony, the two little sisters held dragon and phoenix candles to guide, and the groom held a colorful ball ribbon to lead Jiang Cuiliu into the cave room.
Feet must step on the sack to walk, a Zhao family prepared a total of five sacks, walk through one, the matchmaker and others passed on to the front to pave the road. It means "passing on the lineage" and "meeting the five generations". After entering the cave room, sit on the edge of the bed according to the left and right of the man and the woman, which is called "sitting on the bed".
A woman with a full fortune and longevity knocked Jiang Cuiliu's head slightly with a weighing rod, and then picked up the "cover canopy". It means "satisfactory", and it means "please scarf".
The groom of the Zhao family sat down for a while, the bride changed her makeup, and the guests ate "makeup soup fruit".
Then, Jiang Cuiliu and the bridegroom of the Zhao family had a "greeting ceremony", discussing relatives and relatives, and kneeling down to meet in order. Called "see size". When worshipping and playing, there are two big seats in the hall, and the old couple of the Zhao family sit together.
Jiang Cuiliu took a cup of warm tea and handed it to her father-in-law, and said respectfully: "Dad, drink tea." Then he took another cup of tea that was also warm and handed it to his mother-in-law, and said, "Mother, drink tea." ”
The old couple of the Zhao family saw their daughter-in-law, who was sensible and well-behaved here. I couldn't close my mouth with a smile, and said again and again: "Okay, come here, this is the red envelope that my father and mother prepared for you." ”
Of course, Jiang Cuiliu didn't take it as soon as the old couple of the Zhao family gave it to him, but excused himself. Later, it was the old lady who forced it into Jiang Cuiliu's hand, so she gave up.
Then Zhao Qing, that is, Jiang Cuiliu's husband, led Jiang Cuiliu to meet with other relatives one by one, and when Jiang Cuiliu met the elders, it was inevitable that he would give tea to these elders, but the same elders would prepare a red envelope for Jiang Cuiliu, although the money in these red envelopes may not be too much, but in any case, it is the intention of the elders.
After some tossing, it has come to the evening, and in the evening, you should use He Lang wine, this He Lang wine is the same as the family wine eaten at Jiang Cuiliu's house, the difference is that one is to marry, and the other is to marry.
The He Lang wine prepared by the Zhao family is very hearty, and it makes people like it when they look at it, and they are full of appetite.
But in the same way, He Lang Jiujiang Cuiliu must pour wine for the elders and guests table by table, and the wine must be poured full but not leaked out.
The wine is red, the dishes are many mandarin ducks, and the music is played by a hundred birds and phoenixes, and the dragon and phoenix are auspicious. During the banquet, when the bride was serving hot dishes (changing the soup), the matchmaker shouted: The bride is changing the soup (changing the makeup)! After the banquet, the Zhao family invited the blessed and virtuous guests to the cave room to give Zhao Qing and Jiang Cuiliu a "three drinks and easy to drink" ceremony.
Each time you drink wine, you exchange glasses. The celebrant must sing the greeting words at the same time, which is both playful and peaceful.
The matchmaker sang: "The first cup of wine to congratulate the groom, if there is any gossip being told, I am afraid that people will listen to the room." The second cup of wine greets the bridegroom, and the affairs in the room are discussed secretly, so as not to be seen by others. The third cup of wine congratulates the groom, wishing the husband and wife to grow old together and give birth to a noble son as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
