Shicha County, Feng'en Street Courtyard

Today's small courtyard is very lively, facing the early morning rooster crow there was a noisy firecracker, and then a few people wearing red clothes and red hats, holding red words, happy couplets, lanterns, and a large red silk horse were busy at the door, their faces were full of joy.

Although it is not the marriage of their own children, the wedding has been a thing that everyone has enjoyed since ancient times, not to mention their helpers, even when they look at the lively face, they will show a smile from the bottom of their hearts. What's more, this employer is generous, and he can get ten taels of silver a day when he works here, so much silver, let alone laughing, it is not impossible for them to laugh their front teeth out.

Not long after, the big red word of happiness is posted in the middle of the door, there is a pair of decent couplets pasted on the side of the door, two big red lanterns are hung on the door, and the red silk is decorated all around, which looks very magnificent.

Walking further in, I saw that there were many more people than at the door, wearing red clothes in a uniform style, holding the word "happiness" in their hands, or holding red silk, or holding lanterns, running in the courtyard, decorating the surrounding grass and trees, and a few were holding a large roll of sewn red cloth, which was carefully spread on the ground, like a red carpet, and it was definitely Tang Jin's idea without thinking about it.

Further inside, the number of men gradually became scarce, but there were many more maids in pale red skirts, and most of these women were hired from the tooth shop, mainly responsible for the decoration of the inner courtyard and the cave room.

At this time, in the hall, Fang Xiaoer, who had collectively changed into a bright red coat, was directing a group of maids to arrange the lobby as quickly as possible.

At this time, the lobby has already changed its appearance, and all the tables and chairs placed around it have been removed, leaving only a square table in the middle and two Taishi chairs, and the square table is covered with a bright red tablecloth for the "heaven and earth table", and the Taishi chair is sewn with a layer of red silk by a special person.

Heaven and earth table set up heaven and earth lord tablet, put a bucket full of grain in front of the tablet, paste "gold and jade full bucket" four words on the bucket, the bucket is sealed with red paper, insert cypress branches, and the copper coin on the branch is called "cash cow".

The bucket interpolates a rod, and the rod has sixteen stars, which represent the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the six stars of the South Dipper and the three stars of Fu Lu Shou, which means that the auspicious stars shine high and are satisfactory; The bronze mirror is hung on the scale, which is used to ward off evil spirits, and it also means that it is as clear as a mirror; Put the mother-in-law's expression to the bride on the table, and live in peace for a long time. Put a ruler again, be fair, and be of good character; These are the "three media and six certificates", which are indispensable things when getting married.

"I said, you guys are quick with your hands and feet, and the prince is still waiting to freshen up! Are you responsible for the delay? Feng Gu was wearing a burst of red brocade robes, and scolded the two maids who were holding the basin on the side. Fang Xiaoer, who was standing like a sculpture on the side, frowned slightly, walked to the other party's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why do I think you are more nervous than getting married?" ”

"Nonsense!" Feng Gu jumped to his feet and said: "I contracted all the processes of the wedding, if there is a little mistake, the son of the world will not tear me apart?" ”

When Fang Xiaoer heard this, he immediately showed a look of understanding. Two days ago, when everyone went out at the same time to look for someone who knew how to do it, because they were not familiar with the place, they didn't know where there were people who were proficient in the wedding process, so they could only look for them blindly, and Feng Gu, as a local, knew some but didn't know it very well. But it doesn't matter if you can't find someone who knows how to do it, just find a few who know the theory and everyone can put it together? So he directly brought in a few of his classmates back then, and under the threat of force and money offensive, a few people who had already forgotten about the etiquette were forcibly deducted from the depths of their minds, and it took a night to barely make up the things in front of them. Because of this, Feng Gu was unusually worried, if something went wrong, it would be completely his responsibility.

Fang Xiaoer also understood this, and after patting the other party's shoulder, he wisely moved away from the other party, looking like I had nothing to do with him, Feng Gu, who was only watching, rolled his eyes.

"By the way, how is the prince there?" Feng Gu suddenly asked as if he remembered something. Fang Xiaoer spread his hands and said: "I have been ready for a long time, I got up and freshened up before dawn, and as if he had premeditated, he even brought his own python robe, now I guess I am dressed and sitting in the study, right?" Say it's something important to do. ”

Feng Gu frowned slightly, pointed to the two maids who had just passed by, and said, "Then why are these two holding a basin?" ”

Fang Xiaoer didn't know where he was pointing, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do I know?" It is estimated that the prince has something else to do. ”

Feng Gu frowned even more when he heard this, as if he didn't understand what Tang Jin wanted to do, it stands to reason that there was nothing left to do? Now it's just a matter of waiting for everything to be decorated, and then waiting for the evening to pick up the bride and come back to the church to get married.

Just as he was puzzled, Tang Jin, who was dressed in a pale golden python robe, walked out of the study, walked in front of Feng Gu with his hands behind his back, looked at the two of them and said, "The 'Yinzan' and 'Tongzan' who will be waiting are the two of you, right?" ”

The so-called "citation" and "praise" can basically be understood as the master of ceremonies for modern weddings, that is, the one who shouts "worship heaven and earth" in most costume dramas.

Feng Gu and the others nodded when they heard this, as the only two male guests, this work was naturally done by them. Tang Jin smiled slightly, took out two small boxes from behind him, and handed them to the two of them: "After worshipping heaven and earth later, you two will take out the rings in this, hand the small second-hand ones to Qing'er, and give them to me in Feng Gu's hand, and then say that you can ask the two sides to exchange rings." ”

Fang Xiaoer and the others were puzzled when they heard this, what kind of process is this? Haven't heard of it? Has it emerged in recent years?

"This is the wedding custom in 'Wonderland', and you can get the blessing of God by exchanging rings." Tang Jin lied without hesitation.

The two suddenly realized that they hurriedly put away the ring in their hands. I think that at the beginning, Tang Jin stayed in the study alone for a while, burned Zhang Fu, and invited the plague god to destroy a group of dead soldiers. Now that it's such a big thing to get married, I can't think about it without asking for a month or something.

Obviously, Tang Jin was just asking God, I'm afraid that this ring was given by the old man. The treasure given by the gods has to be protected, in case they accidentally break the red line of the son, then they will be guilty.

Tang Jin, who didn't know that the two of them had made up a bunch of myths and stories on their own, saw that the two of them solemnly put them away, just as if they were following their own orders. In fact, just getting a ring is just to recall the single dog life in my previous life, and it can be regarded as a break with my previous self.

Thinking like this, Tang Jin turned around and joined the commanding army, checking the layout of the scene bit by bit, not letting go of any flaws.

For a while, the people and maids were miserable, and many of the parts that had been done were full of mistakes in Tang Jin's eyes, so they had to do it again. Fortunately, according to the etiquette law, most of the greetings are in the evening, and it is only morning, not to mention that it is too late to just modify or start all over again.

Soon, the sun slowly sank in the west, and the already prepared welcoming team lined up at the door like an army, quietly waiting for Tang Jin's arrival. Immediately after, Tang Jin, who was dressed in a python robe, walked out slowly, and everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Meet the son!" ”

Tang Jin's face was calm, "Flat!" ”

Swish!

Everyone got up at the same time and returned to their places. Tang Jin turned over and got on the horse, looked at the big red sedan chair behind him, smiled slightly, and said with a horse suit: "Let's go!" ”

With an order, the suona team that had already been prepared followed by a loud front sound, blowing and blowing, and the two people in charge of lighting the cannon battle at the front quickly lit the fuse, and the team that greeted the relatives in a burst of firecrackers walked towards Fang Jieqing's house.

The team walked out of the trail and onto Main Street. I saw that the street that was crowded with people on weekdays was empty, only the shops on both sides were still open, but at this time all the shops were hung with red lanterns and draped in red silk, and the ground on the side of the road was full of flowers, which stretched to the end of the road.

Although Fang Jieqing didn't want to make a big deal, there should still be a pomp and circumstance, but the time was limited and a bigger pomp could not be arranged, so he could only barely make up the number with flowers and clear the streets.
