Chapter 143: The Wedding (1)
The wedding at this time is really a "faint ceremony". The procession doesn't come until after dusk, and that's when all the activities really begin.
Because the several weddings he had attended in his previous life started early in the morning, Shu Jin initially thought that he would have to get up early in the morning and go to Chai Xiangfu's house to help, but after asking Chai Yanfeng, he realized that they didn't have to go there all morning.
So, in the morning, Shu Jin went up the mountain as usual, cut wood and made a pair of simple crutches for Chai Yanfeng. After she was busy and made some food and lunch, the two of them rested for a while, and then they and Chai Yanfeng changed into new clothes and went out.
Previously, Shu Jin came back from the mountain, and he also met Chai Xiangrui and Gao Shi coming back from the field. Chai Xiangrui and his wife are close relatives of Chai Xiangfu's family, and they must go to help today, but they still went to the field to harvest crops in the morning, so it can be seen that they don't need to go too early.
Shu Jin saw her in Chai Xiaojuan's boudoir. Chai Xiaojuan is just sixteen years old this year, which is the age of flowers, she sits in front of the mirror, with a pair of "Bo temples" on her head, and the gold, silver, and miscellaneous hairpins are inserted all over her head, which is very lively; The body is a dark cyan large-sleeved skirt, and the embroidery is also exquisite, and Wu did choose good materials for his daughter.
Only then did Shu Jin know that nowadays women wear green and men wear red at weddings. That's the real red man and green woman. No wonder when I married in Shanning Village that day, I was wearing a half-worn piece
Tsing Yi. However, not only did she not have a groom to greet her at that time, but she still sent it to the door by herself early in the morning. It's no wonder that Ye didn't want to admit her in the first place.
But she didn't really care. After seeing the bride, Shu Jin came out of the room to stay with Chai Yanfeng, he could stand, and he tried to walk yesterday, but after all, he still had to sit in a wheelchair, this mess, Shu Jin was afraid that others would not take care of him. It was Chai Yanfeng, although he didn't say anything, but looking at the joy of the courtyard, he occasionally showed a little contemplative eyes.
There are many people in the village who come to help. Before dusk, married women helped sweep the house, decorate the courtyard, prepare food, and so on.
Until sunset, the people sent out to watch hurriedly ran back and shouted. "It's coming, it's coming!"
So, the villagers hurriedly moved, and everyone closed the gate with all hands and feet, and even more exaggeratedly, some women even picked up sticks. Moment. Inside and outside Chai Xiangfu's house, it has completely become a thief-proof posture, and Shu Jin was amazed to see it. Chai Yanfeng saw that she was puzzled, so he whispered to her what she was going to do for a while. Shu Jin was amazed while listening.
After a while, the group came to the gate of Chai Xiangfu's house with open fire. This is the arrival of the bridegroom's procession.
The gate of Chai Xiangfu's house is still closed, and although the people in the courtyard are full of joy, the hands blocking the gate and holding sticks are not relaxed at all.
Outside the gate, the groom's official dismounted, knocked on the door, cleared his throat and shouted: "Good time is beautiful, high door blessing." Report on the head of the family, come out and see each other! ”
Then, in Shu Jin's surprise, the women inside the gate also began to shout outward:
"I don't know where the distinguished guest is, and this door at night? Who is this gentleman and talent, and why did he come? ”
The words are not difficult to understand, which means, who are you and what are you doing here?
The groom's official replied happily when he heard this: "He is a gentleman of peace and a famous man in Jiangxing." Deeper and longer at night, you will have the highest gate; My Fair Lady, Gentleman. I heard that there is a good girl in the Chai family, and I came to ask for it! ”
Shu Jin knew that the groom was from the nearby Anning Village. The meaning of the groom is: he is a gentleman from Anning Village, Jiangxing County. I came here because I heard that there is a beautiful girl in your family, and she has come to ask for marriage.
The people inside the door were very happy to hear this, and in the midst of laughter, the women shouted again:
"You and other distinguished guests, long standing in the courtyard. More need to be interrogated, but what a pity for time? ”
Shu Jin laughed when he heard it. This means asking, "Don't you think we're being verbose?"
The groom's official is a sweet-mouthed man who is very good at talking, and he answered outside: "And she is a lady, if you have any doubts, you ask, how to cherish time?" ”
This is to say: you are all famous beauties and talented women! If you have any questions, say hello, how can I think you are verbose?
Regardless of whether this is true or not, it is pleasing to the ear. So the women nodded one after another, and then shouted, "Please get off the horse and slowly discuss." ”
That being said, the women had no intention of opening the door. Shu Jin asked, only to know that according to the rules at this time, the groom still has to recite a poem. Sure enough, the other party was also prepared, and only heard the groom outside the door shout a poem loudly:
"The cypress is the Cangshan cypress, which can be used as the door; The door is there for a long time, and the woman is a temporary guest. ”
The groom's family is also from a peasant family, and although the rule is to recite poems, there are no profound poems to read. The meaning of this song is simple and straightforward, that is: the gate is made of cypress, and the gate made of cypress can be used for a long time, but the daughter will marry sooner or later. The digression is, hurry up and open the door and let me pick someone up.
While the bridegroom was reading the poem, the women in the door looked at each other, and then as soon as the bridegroom finished speaking, the door suddenly opened. Some women rushed out with sticks in their hands, and when they saw the groom, they couldn't help but say that it was a beating, and shouted with a smile while beating: "It's all nonsense, greedy for my pretty mother, and now I am a woman's dog, and I don't ask if I kill it!" ”
For a time, the groom was in a hurry, and the wolf was unbearable; The male guests who followed the groom and many strong men did not come forward to help, but stood aside and laughed like other people from Shanning Village who did not do anything, and everyone stood by and watched the groom dodge and ask for mercy. For a while, the scene was really lively.
This is the first time she has seen Shu Jin, she is protecting Chai Yanfeng, and she can't help but watch the excitement next to her.
The women were tired of fighting, and finally gave the groom a breath of air and retreated. However, the groom's hard work was not over, and the men began to come up with wine glasses and toast the groom in turn.
But the bridegroom refused again and again, and his mouth was all about left and right, that is, he didn't drink, and finally the groom said:
"That is, ask the brothers and sisters-in-law, why do you practice medicine and wine?"
As soon as these words came out, the men and women in the courtyard laughed and dispersed, and the wine was no longer respectful.
At this time, Shu Jin realized that the wine was mixed with sweat medicine, and if he drank it, he wouldn't want to take the bride away today. The groom was smart and not fooled.
It was easy to enter the large courtyard, and when I arrived at the middle door of the main hall, there was a group of people blocking the door. The door was locked, and the bridegroom could not enter, so he had to say a lot of good things. The people who were blocked were sad and finally entered the main hall. Then, further on, the door to the main room was locked again.
The groom naturally had no choice, or some forgiveness, and finally went to the door again, but he didn't find the bride when he went in, and a woman came to explain that Chai Xiaojuan was still in the boudoir behind her, and she was dressing up!
The bride's grooming can be described as slow and methodical, not in a hurry, the groom's official three urges and four times did not work, so he had to make a trick, that is...... Read another poem...... (To be continued.) )
