Chapter Twenty-Nine: Celebrating the Wedding
On the eighth day of the sixth month, it was the day when Zhu Hao got married, and early in the morning, a team of more than 100 people carried a luxurious sedan chair and walked out of Zhu's mansion to the Chen family annex.
Zhu Hao was wearing a big red robe, with a tall head and a big horse under his seat, he was already handsome, and today he was dressed up extraordinarily, looking more jade, and with long-term military training, he was even more heroic, which provoked the screams of the big girls and little daughters-in-law all over the street. Luo Yunqu, Li Dong, Liu's uncle and nephew and others in the welcoming team were also riding on horses with joy, guarding Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Dongzi, Maozong, you two take a look, which girl is pleasing to the eye, I will propose to you." "Li Dong and Liu Maozong are younger than him, and although they have reached the age of marriage, they have not yet been married.
Li Dong smiled wickedly, but Liu Maozong said: "Uncle, I don't plan to get married now, let's talk about it when I have a career in the future." In terms of seniority, Liu Maozong was lower than Zhu Hao, so he called him uncle. Zhu Hao glanced at him with appreciation: "If you have ambition, in the future, Maozong will become a general, how many good girls will be sent to the door, Dongzi, you follow and learn, hehe." ”
"Lao Luo, what's wrong with you and the third girl, when will we change our words to sister-in-law." Zhu Hao joked about Luo Yunqu.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's basically captured." Luo Yunqu has been with Zhu Hao for a long time, and he has become less serious.
Everyone talked and laughed all the way, and soon came to the Chen family courtyard, and suddenly the gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers rang out, and a messy ceremony finally entered the courtyard gate.
"Miss, you said that the boy we met on the street that day was really my uncle?" The maid said.
"It must have been him, although I haven't seen him, but I felt it was him at first sight, and later speaking confirmed my suspicions." Chen Xiyao said gently and firmly.
"Is it really uncle? Miss has finally found Ruyi Langjun, my uncle is really a talent. "The maid is a little obsessed.
"You Nizi, don't you also fall in love with your uncle?" Chen Xiyao teased her.
"Ah, what are you talking about, Miss, how dare Xiaoying...."
"Okay, let's play with you, it's almost time, let's go out."
It was another ceremony to welcome the bride wearing a phoenix crown into the sedan chair. During this period, Zhu Hao did not see the bride's appearance, but with his figure, he could almost conclude that this Chen Xiyao was the woman he met on the street.
The team then set off back to Zhu's mansion, and Zhu Hao coldly found Julia, a foreign girl in Chinese costumes, in the family send-off procession, and saw her naughty winks at herself, and shook her head with a smile. Li Dong and the others also discovered Julia, and immediately discussed a lot, and the group returned to the Zhu Mansion with a smile.
The wedding ceremony is similar to what Zhu Hao saw on TV in his later life, mainly in the chapel, Zhu Shouyi and his wife sat on the top, happily watching a couple of newlyweds to give themselves a gift, and Zhang Jinyu couldn't stop wiping tears.
The official wedding is not completed until the bride is sent into the cave room, and the wedding feast is next. Zhu Hao resisted the urge to lift the bride's hijab and went to the hall to greet the guests.
The Zhu family is a famous family in Yangzhou, there are many relatives and friends, Zhang Jinyu's family is even more powerful, in addition to the second cousin Zhang Zhenzong, Zhang Tingchun, the eldest cousin Zhang Zhenning, the third cousin Zhang Zhenan and other Nanjing four young people also came to cheer. Zhu Hao even happened to meet Zhang Huangyan, the leader of the Zhang clan, the anti-Qing minister of the later Southern Ming Dynasty! Another great meal. At this time, Zhang Huangyan was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a vigorous face, because of his young talent and high talent, Zhang Tingchun valued him, and Zhang Zhenning was accepted as his son, Zhu Hao secretly thought about how to deceive him.
The Chen family is also a big family in Songjiang Mansion, and the father-in-law Chen Zhaowen has three sons, four grandsons, and seven aunts and eight aunts.
Wang Fuzhi, Ma Shiying, and Zhu Hao's eldest brother Zhu Yuan couldn't come back because of affairs, and they all sent people to send gifts, Song Jinglun brought a book of his own, and even Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of Nanjing, also sent a special gift, Zhu Hao was secretly funny, and when he received a samurai uniform from Liu Ru is trust, his mood was suddenly a little heavy.
The hall in the house can not be opened, the banquet has been placed on the street outside the house, Zhu Shouyi treats people kindly, many people in Yangzhou City have received his favor, I heard that his little son is married, and they have also come to the door with gifts, watching the people holding eggs, fruits, home-brewed wine and other ordinary items, Zhu Hao was moved by some red circles in his eyes, what a simple people!
Zhu Hao instructed that all the people who came to congratulate him should not be stopped, and carefully recorded, and everyone had to drink a glass of wedding wine before leaving. The streets are full of laughter and laughter.
According to the rules, Zhu Hao had a table of toasts, relatives and friends were okay to say at these tables, everyone was a face-saving character, and they politely let him drink a glass to finish, and when he came to Luo Yunqu's table, he looked at everyone's evil eyes and his scalp was a little numb.
"Luo Yunqu, Zhang Dacheng, Zhang Benduan, Tai Dingfang, Li Tongwu, Hu Jianye, Zhao Yuansheng, Wang Boda, Xiao Maoce, Wu Cai, well, I have written down all ten people." Zhu Hao didn't wait for them to speak, and preemptively attacked.
"Huh? Young Master, why are you pronouncing our names? Zhang Dacheng was a little dazed, and only a few people such as Wu Cai stuck out their tongues.
"Be honest with me, I can't see your little fancy intestines? What's in this big bowl? Lao Wu, Tongwu are honest people, I believe that you are forced, as long as you confess the mastermind, it will be a great achievement. "Zhu Hao tried in vain to divide the enemy camp.
"This, this......" Li Tongwu hesitated.
"Hey, Lao Li is not good at words, don't speak, young master, you see that we are all people who lead soldiers, generals, drinking naturally has to use a big bowl to be happy, in this way, it is not difficult for us to be for you, just a bowl, how about the big guys accompany you? Brothers, do you think it's good? Zhang Dacheng is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
There were bursts of cheers from below, Zhu Hao knew that these people were usually choked by their own training in training, so he took advantage of today's opportunity to take revenge, thought about it and admitted it, picked up the big bowl in front of him, looked at the yellow liquid in it and was still shiny and a little hairy, and deliberately said to Li Dong, the wine accompanier next to him: "Dongzi, first taste if it is poisonous." ”
Li Dong had never experienced this occasion, and he didn't care, so he took a big bite of the bowl. "Flutter", the wine was squirted out as soon as it entered his mouth, and he coughed and shouted: "What is in here, there is wine, it seems that there is vinegar, soy sauce, chicken soup, and vegetables?" No, it's tea, ouch, it's disgusting to death. ”
Rao was mentally prepared, Zhu Hao was still taken aback by the ingredients of this bowl of wine, hesitated to drink it, and suddenly saw several tables of captains of all sizes looking at him, and even Julia who was mixed in the crowd looked at him with anticipation, a little embarrassed, and suddenly turned his heart sideways: Look at how I will clean you up in the future. Pick up the sea bowl and drink it all. I picked up another bowl of tea and drank it before I pressed the bowl of liquid.
"The person I named just now will run a 20-kilometer cross-country run for me tomorrow, and I will not be allowed to leave the camp for a month." Zhu Hao gave the order in retaliation.
"Whew!" Zhang Dacheng screamed miserably, and everyone at the table also had sad faces. Zhu Hao was very happy.
After finally passing the toast of five levels and six generals, Zhu Hao was already dizzy, Rao is ancient grain wine was not high, and he couldn't stand the siege of so many people, and it was estimated that he had drunk more than two catties! Fortunately, most of the guests dispersed in the evening, and everyone did not continue to besiege the groom when they saw that he was embarrassed.
It was getting late, Zhu Hao rested for two hours, recovered his spirit slightly, drank a bowl of refreshing tea, and walked lightly to the new house.
The candlelight in the room was hazy, and the red tone made people easy to get excited, looking at the bride sitting on the bed, Zhu Hao was a little excited, and his slightly trembling hand lifted the hijab, revealing a gentle and sweet face, with skin like jade, picturesque eyebrows, and slightly shy eyes, it was the woman of that day.
"Lady, we meet again." After staring at each other for a long time, Zhu Hao smiled.
"Yes, Xianggong, it seems that we are really destined." Chen Xiyao was a little embarrassed.
"It's late at night, lady, what are we going to do next?" Zhu Hao teased her.
"The concubine body, the concubine body serves the prime minister to rest." Chen Xiyao's head was lowered, and her voice was almost inaudible.
Zhu Hao felt that there was an evil fire rising up, he was busy steady, took the woman in front of him into his arms, and gently took off his wedding robe, Chen Xiyao seemed to know what was going to happen next, and hurriedly blew out the candle and put down the curtain.
"Come on, baby!" Zhu Hao let out a low roar and pounced on it.
Bursts of wheezing and suppressed moans suddenly came from the curtain, constituting the most beautiful fairy sound in heaven and earth.
Exactly: enjoy the blessings of the Spring Festival overnight, and accompany you to Baitou in the future.
