Chapter 127: Market Wedding
The palace is draped in red and hung with colors, and it is very lively.
Yao'er bypassed the waiting guard of honor and walked through the Tianjin bridge, where the first store, Pù, was a jewelry head and noodle shop. The shopkeeper heard him say that he was sent by Pei's mansion to pick up things, so he hurriedly took the package sent by the guest and told him to collect it in person.
Pei Kun prepared a congratulatory gift for Yao'er very carefully, and on the basis of conforming to Yao'er's identity and financial resources, he carefully selected a few suitable congratulatory gifts. Of course, the things he chose were also in line with the status of the two parties, and if they were given a set of gold drinking utensils, they would have no other use than to exchange them for money.
The gifts prepared by Pei Kun are very careful, head jewelry, satin cloth, men's and women's robes, etc., such as shoes representing cheating, mirrors that break down marriages, fans that are discordant in happy events, etc., Yao'er does not understand these rules, if she really lets her buy them herself, she may really buy something unlucky and send it.
Pei Kun, what a caring person!
Yao'er collected it clearly, re-wrapped it into a package and carried it on his shoulder, and when he passed by the Shangshan Fang where Mrs. Mu lived, he saw that the red silk had been hung at the door of the fang, and the door was wide open, guarded by soldiers, and no idle people were allowed to enter and exit.
Daqi only has the Princess's Mansion, and there is no Horse Mansion, Tian You and Princess Shang are going to live in the Princess's Mansion, he only needs to move to the Princess's Mansion with two empty hands.
Yao'er carried the burden on her back, glanced deeply at the door of the workshop, and walked towards the Xiuwen workshop!
When Yao'er arrived at Yu Qi's house, it was just past the time when the Yu family was already full of people inside and out. In addition to the neighbors, the huge group of relatives and friends of the Yu family all arrived, including those in the city and those in the countryside, bringing the old and the young. Men and women, mighty. It's spectacular.
The small courtyard of the Yu family can't hold so many people at all, let alone in the house. So he set up a water banquet under the outer wall of his house, because the banquet was not opened, and the guests were sitting and standing, calling relatives and friends, and chatting with each other. In the east corner, there is a kitchen, where the invited cooks are busy, and the smell of meat wafts from time to time.
The Yu family's house is a three-room building, with a hall house in the middle and a house on the left and right. Originally, the East House was the largest, and it has always been lived by Yu's mother. Now it has been vacated, the scavengers are clean, and the walls have been repainted as new houses. Yu's mother moved to Westinghouse. Although Yu Qi is filial, he doesn't want the old lady to have the slightest grievance, but he can't resist the old lady at this point, and the bride passes the door, it is always not good to be aggrieved in the hut, so she obeys the old lady's will.
When Yao'er arrived, Yu Qi had already changed into a crimson official uniform. Wearing a beam crown on his head, he was so nervous that he was sweating. The crimson official uniform was originally the court dress of the fourth-to-sixth-grade court officials, but the court was a special exception, and the groom and the bride could make an exception to wear the official dress leather belt and the phoenix crown and xiaxia veil. It is Yu Qi who can do this dress.
Seeing Yao'er coming, Yu Qi grinned at him, his face a little stiff. It seems that this wedding really made him nervous. Fortunately, Su Fang is and several enthusiastic and decent people in the market helped him manage the wedding. These people have arranged everything, but they are also busy and not chaotic.
It was time in the afternoon. Because it was early summer, the sky was still bright, and Xiaozhuo's house was not far from Yu's house. They all live in the same square. I didn't have to go to greet my relatives so early, but my relatives and friends had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and I was clamoring. Tian Yaoyao Fang was making a big decision to welcome the bride, so a large group of people clamored to leave the Yu family.
Yao'er accompanied Yu Qi, out of the courtyard gate of Yu's house, a hired carriage had already stopped outside the door, and the horse had a piece of red cloth tied around his neck, looking joyful, Yu Qi was the groom, and the groom wanted to welcome the bride in person, so Yu Qi rushed to Xiaozhuo's house with the carriage,
When he arrived at Ning's house, Yu Qi accompanied Yu Qi into the courtyard, first met his father-in-law and his mother's relatives, and then took the bride to the car.
According to the rules, at this time, the man should read the hypnotic poem, but it is all elegant things played by the literati, many ordinary people don't even know big characters, how can they read any hypnotic poems, so, Yu Qi took a group of male partners to knock on the door outside and shout Xiao Zhuo's name, and a group of girls inside laughed and refused to open the door, just have some problems to make it difficult for them.
If these girls are determined to make things difficult, Yu Qi wants to take the lady out of the way, and he is afraid that he will not have to stand in front of the door for more than half an hour, or Xiao Zhuo can't bear it when he hears a few difficult words from the sisters, and he can't help but speak for Yu Qi's help, begging the sisters to let him go. When the sisters saw this scene, they made fun of Xiao Zhuo, opened the door, and hugged her out.
Xiao Zhuo wears a dark blue robe, the groom wears red, and the bride wears blue, which is the dress of the Tang people for marriage, and the idiom of red men and green women comes from this. Small burning big sleeves, shawl, solemn, dignified, headdress gold and silver glazed hairpin ornaments, although they are not real gold and silver ornaments, but there is no difference, the appearance of the head full of pearls and emeralds looks extremely noble.
It's a pity that Yao'er didn't see her appearance on tiptoe. Xiao Zhuo didn't cover her head, but at this time the hijab was not popular, most people used a fan when they got married, Xiao Zhuo held a fan in her hand, a fan with white feathers on the edge, covering her face tightly, and she could only see a little skin from the side.
The bride's family also hired a carriage, Xiao Zhuo was carried by Xiaodong girl and another girl from the workshop, and boarded the carriage slowly, Yu Qi acted as a groom, drove forward, the wheel only rolled three turns, he got off the car and got into his own carriage, and the coachman drove for the bride, Yu Qi beat the horse and whipped the horse, and rushed home to prepare to pick up the kiss.
This rule is called anti-horse, if it is found that the bride is not a virgin, or during this period there is any strict zhòng behavior that does not abide by women's morals, the man can return the person, the reason why the bride brings her own carriage is here, although she has become a parent, she is not really a real Yu family.
When Yu Qi drove away, Yao'er did not accompany him, his identity was the most free, and he was both a husband and a mother-in-law. Yao'er smiled and followed a group of relatives from Xiao Zhuo's family to send relatives, accompanied Xiao Zhuo's carriage, and walked slowly back to Yu's house, and saw Yu Qi wearing the groom's dress, standing at the door and stretching his neck, and had been waiting for a long time.
Next, the brazier, the saddle, the rice bag ......, a series of cumbersome greeting procedures, finally finished this set of processes, the two golden boys and girls sprinkled grains on Yu Qi and Xiaozhuo, the groom was in front, the bride was half a step behind, and slowly walked into the hall under the cheers of everyone.
After entering the hall, it is time to perform the fan ceremony, but the fan ceremony is equivalent to the later hijab, but the bride at this time is not so restrained, and she is not sent to the new house at the wedding scene. In this era, the man's parents are only responsible for chatting and drinking with relatives and friends of the same generation, and the protagonists of the wedding are the newlyweds, so this fan ceremony is held in the hall.
Yu Qi didn't know how to say but fan poetry, so he only saluted Xiao Zhuo, and Xiao Zhuo gently moved the fan in front of him.
The fan moved away, she was still her, she was not her!
Xiao Zhuo's eyebrows were bright, smiling shyly, and her charming appearance made even Yu Qi and Yao'er, who knew her well, stunned.
The bride is indeed the most beautiful woman at this moment!
Mother Yu smiled and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The bride and groom sang in harmony and let the bride and groom bow to each other. At this time, there was no prayer to worship, and there was no need to worship heaven and earth, but the couple stood facing each other, and Xiao Zhuo bent down and bowed to her husband. Yu Qi stood upright, nervously bowed to Xiao Zhuo, and then returned the salute.
Xiao Zhuo bowed again, Yu Qi returned the salute again, if so, four times, the two of them saluted, this is considered a real husband and wife, Xiao Zhuo and Yu Qi stepped forward together, as a bride to the mother-in-law salute.
Yao'er stood on the side, watching them cut off a strand of hair, tie it up with red thread, and put it in a bag to complete the gift of knotting; watched them pick up chopsticks and eat a stew of meat that had been sacrificed to the ancestors' spiritual throne to complete the ritual of the same prison; Watch them drink a glass of wine with a gourd scoop that is split in two and tied together with a red rope......
Her eyes were a little moist, it was a feeling of blood connection, she had already regarded Yu Qi and Xiao Zhuo as her relatives, seeing that they had completed the gift and finally became husband and wife, Yao'er was sincerely happy for them......
……
Lin'an City South Wulizhuang.
In the courtyard of the first family in the village, a woman with a dustpan was cooing to the chickens raised by the family and sprinkling the soaked grain rice on them. Under the big locust tree at the intersection, several village children are playing a game of hide and seek.
Suddenly, a dozen fast horses galloped far away, and it had not rained for the past two days, and wherever they passed, a cloud of dust was splashed, rolling like a yellow dragon.
The knights soon stopped at the gate of the outer courtyard of a member of the village, surnamed Qiu.
The knights are all dressed in Western Regions Hufu, all wearing Luo Jin lapel-collared narrow-sleeved short robes, leather belts around their waists, deerskin boots, and swords behind their backs, which look light and neat, and heroic. They all had a shallow dew on their heads, and the wind occasionally lifted a trace of drape, revealing a trace of white skin, which was obvious to be some women.
The courtyard door opened, and the reunion of Qiu Xiao and Qiu Qiu came out at a trot, and as soon as the short and fat calves stepped out of the threshold, they hugged their fists and saluted before they saw anyone: Ahahaha, Miss Qiu has arrived, Qiu has lost the distance, has lost the distance, forgive the sins, forgive the sins.
Qiu Xiaoqiu, I haven't seen you for two years, why are you so fat?
With a pleasing voice, a girl provoked a shallow dew with a horsewhip, revealing a happy and disgusted face.
Her eyes are clear and clear, Runyu is smiling, bright and beautiful, handsome and lovely, and there is a kind of hearty and pure Northwest woman, and her expression, posture, gestures, and her own grace and bearing of Jiang Cheng, a big family. When people see it, their eyes light up.
Qiu Xiaoqiu's smile froze, and he hurriedly smiled again: Miss Qiu, you are laughing, hahaha...... (To be continued......)
