After the Lantern Festival, the weather gradually warmed up, and large grass sprouts emerged overnight, and the grass after the snow melted had a light layer of green.

And Meng's "disease" has also improved.

On the second day of the second month of February, the wedding was ready, and An Ruolan's wedding dress was also completed.

On the sixth day of the second lunar month, the Weiguo Mansion and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion set up a flowing water seat in front of the house, as long as you say an auspicious word, anyone can sit down to drink and eat food, and the flowing water seat will be placed until the ninth day of the second month, that is, the day of the wedding.

Starting from the seventh day of February, all the industries under the name of He Ji in Dayong will hold half-price preferential activities to celebrate the young owner, and on the wedding day, Jinxiulou will also provide free wine and food throughout the day, allowing people to eat all-you-can-eat.

For a time, the family affairs of Wei Xing and An Ruolan were talked about, and the shops under the names of Wei Guofu, Wenxin Hou Mansion and He Ji were all in the city, and it was foreseeable how rare the grand occasion would be on the wedding day.

On the evening of the eighth day of the second lunar month, Wei Xing took his cousins who had rushed from the northeast to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion to give gifts. Sheng Jing does not have this custom, but there is this rule in Wei Xing's hometown, and the old lady said that it would be lively, so she added such a link.

Murong's concubines also inquired, on this day, the groom's official came to give gifts, and the woman's family wanted to "get", and the more miserable the groom, the more satisfied the woman was with the groom.

So the Anwenqi brothers geared up.

Before it got dark, the brothers of the An family began to prepare, rushed into the kitchen one by one, smeared the pot ash handle into the dark, and waited for a while to smear the groom's face with dust.

A mother-in-law whose ancestral home is in the Northeast said: "This pot of ash looks black, but it will fall off as soon as it is washed." You have to mix it with tea oil, so you can't wash it off! ”

As soon as he heard this, An Wenqi came to his senses. Hurriedly asked the mother-in-law to bring the tea oil, scraped the ashes of the pot with a bowl, mixed them together and stirred.

Looking at the dark bowl, a group of people smiled understandingly.

An Wensheng and An Wenyan glanced at each other helplessly, but they were also full of expectations for teasing their brother-in-law.

The firecrackers crackled and exploded, and the people who gave gifts to the Wei family came.

An Wenqi led a group of brothers to hide behind the door, intending to surprise him and attack him unprepared. But when he saw the other party's battle, he broke out in a cold sweat.

It was only then that everyone thought that since it was a custom in the Northeast. The guards must know better than them, so how can they be defenseless?

Looking at the tall and mighty Northeast men with bulging muscles, it is estimated that one punch can kill people.

An Wenjia shuddered. "Brother. One of them is the top three, and if we go, we will be sent to death. ”

An Wenqi felt reasonable, wiped a cold sweat and said: "Change the plan......" His eyes inadvertently swept to the courtyard chasing the children who were playing, and he suddenly thought about it.

When the guards and his party entered the door, they saw a group of children standing in a row, and their little hands were black one by one.

"Touch your face, or you won't let you in!" The innocent and lively children shook their little hands, giggled and screamed.

"......" Wei Xing was silent.

Wei Shao squeezed forward from behind his cousins. Someone next to her asked her, "What now?" We can't do anything with children, can we? ”

Wei Shao also had a head and two big, staring at An Wenqi and the others on the side. You don't have to think about it to know that they came up with the idea.

The brothers of the An family couldn't help but laugh and their eyes wandered.

Looking at the sky speechlessly, Wei Shao said weakly: "Brother, you can admit it, hurry up and solve it quickly, and we can enter the door." ”

Thinking of his beautiful girl, Wei Xing gritted his teeth and squatted down, closing his eyes and sticking out his face.

After a burst of nonsense, he didn't even let go of his ears, and when a group of small buns laughed and retreated, Wei Xing had become a veritable Wei black carbon.

"Poof-" Wei Shao burst out laughing first, then the laughter of the An brothers, and finally the laughter of the guests who came to see the excitement.

If it weren't for the black pot ash, the guard would have been teased for blushing.

The lobby brother of the Wei family, who was standing on the left side of the guard, shrugged his nose and said with a smile: "It's good, it's also mixed with tea oil, it seems that Ming'er Shengjing is going to produce the blackest groom official." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

finally entered the door and sat down at the table, even the maids who came to serve tea couldn't help laughing until their shoulders trembled, not to mention that the door was crowded with people, all of whom came to see the groom's liveliness.

Wei Xing had a black face, and seemed to be calm, but the corners of his lips and clenched fists betrayed his nervousness and unease.

Tonight, the guards and his party are considered to be guests, and they have a table in the main hall, and as soon as they are seated, the banquet begins, and the people serve food one after another.

According to custom, the table is served by the bride's younger brother, there is a red envelope, Anwen's family is vying to go, the rest of the people definitely disagree, after some arguments, it was decided that each person will serve a dish, so that everyone can get a red envelope, but in the end, the task of toasting was still snatched by Anwen's family.

This dish is also exquisite, and most of the names of the dishes imply harmony and happiness, such as lily shrimp, longan glutinous rice chicken, etc.

As soon as the food was served, the relatives on the An family came to toast one after another, and everyone did not swarm to come, but came one by one, which showed both sincerity and achieved the goal. At this time, the Wei family cousins finally played a role, threw off their arms to help block the wine, and a top three was not blown!

However, the guests can't eat the whole table, and they have to leave the sixth bowl of dishes, and the bride's brother will come to toast.

Because An Ruolan didn't have a younger brother who committed suicide, he let An Wenjia, a cousin, come.

An Wenjia came over with a specially prepared wine and said with a smile: "The sixth brother-in-law drank this cup, and he will be happy and happy after marriage." ”

Looking at the turbid and pitch-black liquid in the wine glass, the Wei family shivered, secretly guessing how much material was added to it.

However, this glass of wine can only be drunk by the guard, unless the toaster speaks, otherwise it can only be drunk in its entirety.

At this time, it is easy to take out the red envelope.

But the red envelope prepared by Wei Xing and others was hollowed out when the food was served just now, and it was really impossible to take out the red envelope for this toast, Wei Xing searched his body for most of the day, and only then did he find a pair of lotus carp with mutton fat jade, which he was going to give to An Ruolan, and now he had to grit his teeth and give it to An Wen's family.

Look at the carp on the tray. An Wenjia smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said, "The sixth brother-in-law can drink half a cup." ”

Wei Xing breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his glass. As soon as he brought it to his mouth, his face changed.

The pungent and choking sour and spicy smell comes to the face, mixed with the bitter medicinal taste and the rich soy sauce smell, and the smell alone makes people shy away from it, let alone drink it.

Rao is endurance is amazing, and at this time, he only dares to say that he can take a sip at most.

His eyes sank slightly, and the guard gestured to his cousins without moving. So the Wei brothers rolled up their sleeves, showed off their muscles, and pinched wine glasses empty-handed.

"......," An Wenjia froze with a smug smile on his face. swallowed his saliva and said, "The sixth brother-in-law just takes a sip." ”

Wei Xing smiled with a black face, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ten." ”

Raised his glass, took a shallow sip, and put it down.

Rao is like this, and the guard is also sour and sweet, bitter and spicy. The salty and astringent taste makes the head cloudy.

I can't help but secretly rejoice. After drinking this cup, it is estimated that he will have to lie on his stomach tomorrow to greet his relatives.

The firecrackers went off again, and the guests went out.

In order to prevent the "black hand organization" from striking again, the Wei brothers almost fled.

This is not the end of the banquet, but the next thing is to settle down.

After having a banquet with a family that has a good relationship with the An family, Mrs. Madame will visit the bride and give a red envelope, which is also considered the bride's dowry, and the more red envelopes you get. It's also more beautiful.

The old lady's courtyard also had a table top, on which were placed refreshments and fruits. For guests visiting Anruolan to rest.

Every time she receives a red envelope, An Ruolan has to make a return gift, and the elders will pull her to talk, teach her how to behave in her in-law's house, and many close people cry when they talk about it, An Ruolan is infected by this atmosphere, and her heart also rises up to reluctance to her family, and she can't help but redden.

For a while, everyone's eyes were red, and they kept wiping their tears with a handkerchief.

The old lady held back her tears and said: "Okay, okay, it's not time to cry and get married, everyone sits together happily, there should be talk and laughter." ”

Although everyone responded, they still couldn't stop crying.

The old lady had no choice but to ask people to call An Wenqi and the brothers over, and let them talk about the excitement in front of them, and when they heard that the groom was smeared all over his head and the glass of wine with ingredients, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere improved.

An Ruolan couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't want to see the black groom.

It was late that night, and the Hou Mansion quieted down.

was already extremely tired, but An Ruolan didn't feel sleepy at all, she was reluctant to leave her family for a while, she didn't want to get married, and then she thought of Wei Xing's face was dark, and she couldn't help laughing, and then she thought about the wedding night, and the deer in her heart bumped into each other, tossing and turning for most of the night, and she fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

Around the hour, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu called An Ruolan up, and after bathing her in incense and praying for blessings, he began to take a group of combing women to comb her hair and dress her up.

An Ruolan was very sleepy, with a few hands around her head, she still dozed off and played freely.

It wasn't until Liu invited Murong over to comb her hair that she was a little energetic.

Murong Shi held a jade comb in his hand, and read softly with red eyes: "One comb to the end, two combs to the eyebrows, two combs to the eyebrows, and three combs to the descendants." While combing An Ruolan's hair.

After combing his hair, Murong went out, and Liu and the others continued to put on makeup for An Ruolan.

Open the face, trim the eyebrows, paint the lips, draw the eyes, An Ruolan let them tinker with their faces, close their eyes and pretend to sleep.

Liu was helpless and funny, and felt distressed when he saw the green shadow under her eyes.

It took nearly two hours to finish the makeup, and the next step was to put on the wedding dress.

After caressing the bright and dazzling wedding dress, Liu's heart also felt a little more melancholy like marrying a daughter, and sang loudly with red eyes: "Add clothes to Miss!" ”

The servants should be.

In addition to the ** inside, there are a total of nine layers of wedding dresses, and each piece is called a plus, which is called a plus.

Plus the phoenix crown, a total of ten, also means perfect.

Like the time, every time you add a layer, you have to read a greeting, Liu read the fifth sentence with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't read it anymore, covering his mouth and crying silently.

An Ruolan stretched out her hand and finished reading the sixth and seventh sentences by herself with tears in her eyes.

When the eighth dress was added, Sixi and Bayuan suddenly broke into the door with a tray of red paint.

Liu frowned and said sharply, "What are you doing when you come in at this time?" Miss is getting dressed! ”

It was considered a ritual that was interrupted and said to be unlucky.

Sixi and Bayuan looked at each other innocently, and said, "It was the fourth master who asked us to send this dress in." They put the tray on the table.

A bright red piece, at first glance, you can see that it is a wedding dress.

An Ruolan involuntarily walked to the table, raised her hand and stroked the intricate and gorgeous patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads on it, and the fine and neat stitches made her heart hot and painful.

She couldn't help but ask in a dumb voice, "Where did this come from?" ”

Bayuan replied: "The fourth master said that the young lady has the answer in her heart. ”

With a slight shake in her chest, An Ruolan thought of the woman who always looked at her with sad and guilty eyes.

She finally understood the meaning of those eyes, maybe she had already understood, but she didn't dare to face it.

There are some things that you should keep in mind.

Shake off the placket, put on the gorgeous and bright phoenix tail wedding dress, An Ruolan solemnly chanted loudly: "Eight plus formal clothes, thank the kindness of your parents, pray for a smooth future!" ”

The flying corners of the clothes are like gorgeous red butterflies, which are so amazing that they make people cry.

Liu, who finally stopped crying, and Bai Ling, who was on the side, couldn't help crying again.

Nine plus outer veil, ten plus phoenix crown red yarn, and finally put on the shawl, this bridal outfit is completed.

The gongs and drums outside the house to remind the elders to say goodbye had sounded, and An Ruolan went out of the door with the support of Liu and Bailing, and went to the main courtyard to bid farewell to his parents and elders.

At this moment, the old lady couldn't hold back her tears, An Ruolan kowtowed to her, she couldn't cry, she only held An Ruolan's hand and kept patting, teaching her to be filial to her in-laws in her mother-in-law's house in the future, love her sister-in-law, and teach her husband and children wholeheartedly.

An Ruolan bit her lower lip and held back tears, one by one.

She overestimated herself, she thought that in this life she would be able to marry happily with a smile, but she was no longer the lonely and lonely An Ruolan in her previous life, she had elders and close sisters who loved her, and she couldn't go out with a smile anymore.

After kowtowing, a room of women cried into tears, everyone hugged or pulled An Ruolan, telling about reluctance, infected by this sad atmosphere, even the men did not hold back their tears, and they all came forward to tell An Ruolan a few words.

When the welcoming team arrived at the door, firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out, and Xi Po shouted: "Crying and getting married!" ”

In an instant, everyone let go of their throats and cried.

In the midst of a cry, Xi Po said, "Please ask the bride's brother to carry the bride to the door!" ”

An Wensheng and An Wenyan stood up at the same time.

After a pause, An Wensheng said: "I twisted my foot yesterday, so let the fourth brother go out with Lan'er." ”

An Wenyan glanced at him gratefully, and squatted down in front of An Ruolan.

Lying on her brother's not too broad back, An Ruolan bit her lip and sobbed lowly.

An Wenyan walked very steadily and prudently, which may be the most difficult part of his life.

The stone lion in front of the Wenxin Mansion was tied with bright red silk, and the guests and the people gathered on both sides of the red carpet extending from the Hou Mansion, waiting for the bride to come out.

The guard stood at the end of the red carpet, holding his breath and staring at the red lacquered door without blinking.

"It's coming, it's coming!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone stretched their necks to look at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The bright red corner of the wedding dress was the first to enter everyone's sight, and when Meng Yuyan and King Jin, who were also waiting in front of the door, saw the familiar pattern, the couple instantly wet their eyes. (To be continued......)
