When the welcoming team of the royal residence set off, the Zheng family on the opposite side was also nervously making final preparations.

Marriage is a great joy for the living, and for some high-ranking families, the wedding celebration is a moment to highlight the door style, door etiquette and even the whole family. Especially this marriage has now become the focus of attention in the city, if the Zheng family responds to any disrespect, it will have a very big negative impact on the entire family.

In short, since you have enjoyed the glory that no one can match, of course, you must come up with enough matching background, otherwise you will inevitably be ridiculed by the world.

So on this day, not only all the clansmen of the Zheng clan of Donglin House gathered in Fangju, but even the clansmen of other clansmen, but those who had spare time, also came forward to help.

At this time, the main venue for marriage has been transferred from Zheng Gao's house in Taohuafang to the new mansion in adjacent Yongfeng Fang, although this new mansion is much larger than Zheng Gao's house, it is already overcrowded, and its own Zheng family's children run back and forth to maintain order.

As for the streets, the people who came to watch the ceremony were even more shoulder to shoulder. On weekdays, after the door is closed, there is a lack of pastime, even if there is no shortage of people watching ordinary scholars' weddings, to this day, the people's enthusiasm for onlookers is naturally higher, there is almost no idle land in the shop, and there are black and oppressive crowds everywhere.

The order of the community is maintained by the officials of Hegong County. The time soon arrived in the evening, and all the participants in the Zheng family's residence were already in place.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the sound of propaganda sounded outside the square, and the welcoming team had come from the south of Changxiamen Street.

When he saw the crowd of people under the light at the gate of the fang, Wang Fangqing's face suddenly changed, and he immediately raised his hand to summon the accompanying palace assistants, and ordered to quickly send additional carriage and horse personnel to deal with the obstacles later, otherwise I am afraid that by dawn, the welcoming team may not be able to get out of Yongfeng Fang.

Taking advantage of this time, the Zheng family also hurried out and rushed into the crowd on the street with the officials who maintained order, and the forbidden soldiers who guarded the princess's mansion went out to deter, which erected the brocade barrier, isolated the onlookers on both sides of the street, and opened up the road to pass.

The ceremonial driver of the wedding arrived at the door, first introduced the seven-incense car that the princess would take to get married later into the court, and then the men of Zheng Jiafan came out to greet him, nearly 100 people, each wearing festive dresses, lined up in front of the door, and the surrounding spectators all applauded in unison.

Not to mention what the position is, this battle alone is not something that anyone can put on the table.

Wang Fangqing and the other four ministers dismounted their horses and first saluted Zheng Rong, the father of the princess, and their own courtesy officials sang a letter on the side. In the noisy voice, Zheng Rong was also full of red light, and motioned for his children to come in and offer wine to comfort their tiredness.

Of course, there are only four servants who can enjoy this treatment, and as for the He Lang in the rear, they each carry the reins of the horse in front of the door to dance in the royal circus, doing all kinds of thrilling movements, causing the onlookers to cheer.

Of course, occasionally there will be people who miss when playing horses, or the flower arrangement on the hat falls, and the Zheng family people rush into the horse formation quickly to pick up the flowers and take them away, and later go to the court to pay off the son-in-law, which can be used as a certificate for play.

Several ministers were ushered into the middle hall to sit down, and the congratulators also dismounted, dancing and singing around the seven-incense cart parked in the court: "Acting for the king and giving the new makeup, urging the bride." It is rumored that the candle has lowered the red powder, don't make a spring ...... in front of the mirror"

The gift of hypnotic makeup also has a long history, at first it was just a simple shout "bride, urge out" and so on, but over time, it gradually became elegant, and derived the special theme of hypnotic poems.

Hypnotic poems are not only a talent to create an atmosphere and take the school to welcome relatives, but also sometimes there are some teasing flavors in it.

Chen Qiao in the late Tang Dynasty was a late bloomer, and only after the age of 60 did he take the exam, and later returned to his hometown to marry the bride, and was ridiculed by the villagers for the withered poplars and the old trees blooming.

The name of the poem of the king of Dai is famous all over the world, and it is also the highlight of tonight. After the congratulators finished singing a poem, before the host Zheng could answer, there were already spectators outside the door shouting: "It's too early for Qionghua to fold, and the bride is lazy to wait for the poem!" Not enough, not enough, keep ending! ”

He Lang was well prepared, and they were all full of performance at this time, and when they heard those coaxing shouts, they continued to sing at the top of their voices: "On behalf of the king, urge the bride!" The jade leaks trickle silver Hanqing, and the new road of Queqiao is beginning to ......"

The noise in the front hall broke through the night, and the sound was easily transmitted into the backyard, and in the backyard pavilion, the bride Zheng Wenyin sat on the table, and the hairpin dress had already been neatly dressed, and the makeup had been set, looking dignified and beautiful.

Surrounded by many blessed women in their own doors, when the hypnotic poem sung by He Lang came here, they all chanted and discussed, and the eyes that looked at the princess were full of envy. The acting king is already very noble, and the characters are even more handsome, and now he welcomes his relatives with rich poetry and poetry, such a wishful husband is simply impeccable.

The poem was written three times, and the doorman shouted from the outer hall: "Bride, makeup is not done?" ”

"Undone, undone!"

The women in the room scrambled to answer, and Zheng Wenyin just smiled and didn't say anything before the case, her pretty face was even more delicate, and she just wanted to enjoy this wonderful moment for a while.

The front hall has reached the tenth hypnotic poem, and the acting king has only prepared ten hypnotic poems, which is enough, but he didn't expect the crowd to be so able to toss, and the roar is still insufficient.

Fortunately, Li Qiao and Shen Yanqi were all masters of the moment, and they were not enough to prepare poems, so they simply pointed to the rhyme in the hall for He Langtang to sing.

The people who watched the excitement never thought it was a big deal, and before they knew it, the ceremony was delayed here for more than an hour, and the urging voices of the He Langs were a little hoarse.

The princess of the pavilion gradually became a little impatient, and glanced at the maid who was standing by the door, and the maid quietly retreated outside the door, but was seen by the sharp-eyed lady, and grabbed the maid and did not allow her to report the news.

"The quality of the pu is unbearable for a long time, and the ritual process may be overdue. I beg all the ladies to have mercy on ......"

Seeing this, Zheng Wenyin could only take the initiative to ask, and after the ladies in the cabinet heard this, they laughed and told the vestibule: "The bride is dressed, and the boys are invited to the court!" ”

When the congratulators in the outer hall heard this, they were also relieved, and after a short break, they lined up to go to the inner hall, and when they reached the outside of the inner hall, they saw the red makeup queue in the hall, each holding a colored staff waiting for them. On the table in the hall are the hairpins and the like that they just lost, and they need to rush to the hall to retrieve them.

It is also a custom to go to the court and have a son-in-law, and the bridegroom will go to the court to be beaten with rods by the women. As for the degree of teasing, it varies from person to person.

Emperor Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty married Duan's daughter when he was young, and was a little ruthless by Duan's wife's Yuan's play, so he held a grudge and said to his brother-in-law Duan Shao that I must kill the loser of your family. As a result, the Yuan family was so frightened that he hid in the house of the Empress Dowager Lou, and the so-called final announcement did not dare to come out, which was a precedent for happy events to become enemies.

The acting king did not come in person, and this part of the drama was naturally borne by Zhu Helang. Fortunately, in the Zheng family's etiquette door, there was no deliberate difficulty in this link, and the sticks in his hands were rolled up in cloth, just to take a happy meaning, and let the He Lang run into the hall to retrieve the hairpins.

But although the Zheng family has shown mercy, they can't bear to have someone in He Lang who is not angry, that is, Pei Guangting, a little mother.

Among the crowd, he was the only one who dropped the most ornaments, and others ran once or twice at most to retrieve the ornaments.

Only this little mom is addicted, running one trip after another, the first two trips and companions to cover, and the last few times he rushed into the daughter's country alone, as if provocative.

In the end, the women of the Zheng family in the hall couldn't see it, and directly waved their hands to let people send the rest of the pendants out, this kid is really endless, it's a bit rude to beat it, and it's really itchy if you don't beat it.

Pei Guangting finally stopped dressing up here, and suddenly grabbed a pouch embroidered with a white-headed mandarin duck and shouted, "Who is this sachet?" If it weren't for my diligence, this reckless fellow would have to redeem him tomorrow! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Helang lowered his head to check himself, but the screams of a young girl sounded in the hall, and everyone was not missing, and the result was obvious. Xue Chongxun rushed up, put the sachet into Pei Guangting's arms, and laughed loudly into the hall: "Invite the princess today, and invite the bride of Peimen next day, happy events!" ”

After such a playful laugh, the princess was finally surrounded by a group of women in the pavilion and boarded the seven-incense car that drove into the inner court.

At this time, the parents of the Zheng family also came over, read the content of the female commandment loudly, and the children of the Zheng family boarded the car, covered the carriage with colored curtains, and the drum music was loud, until they reached the gate of the vestibule, and a group of Zheng family people blocked each other in front of the door under the leadership of Zheng Gao, erected obstacles, and did not allow the car to go out.

"Since ancient times, the world has been a ...... of the world"

Zheng Gao clapped his hands and recited loudly, what he recited was "Obstacle Car Text", every time he read a paragraph, it was convenient for the children of the family to shout "Er Langwei!" ”

The so-called obstacle car is to set up obstacles to block the progress of the car to welcome the family, and to ask for wine, food, and money for fun. If the two families are married, this is naturally just a joke, but if the family affair itself is not satisfactory, it is extortion to extort money. Many high-ranking families sell marriages, that is, they are stuck at this point to force money, and if they are not satisfied, it will be difficult for the car to drive an inch.

However, today's king welcomes relatives, of course, there will be no such problems, Zheng Gao's "Obstacle Car Text" was read, and the Zheng family began to remove the obstacles, and at the same time, the welcoming team also moved wine, food, money and other gifts from the car to meet the situation.

After the obstacle car in the court was completed, the ceremony at the Zheng family had ended, and the two teams that greeted and sent off the relatives formed a team, and a large team of more than 2,000 people gathered around the wedding car to go to the outside of the house.

At the same time, the welcoming procession turned to the front of the car, and a basket of food and wine was placed on both sides of the road for passers-by to share.

The obstacle car is throughout the whole process of welcoming the family, not only the two families participate, there is no shortage of people in the city of Shendu who rely on it for a living, if their needs are not met, they can make the wedding disgraced.

However, these spectators in the workshop still kept the courtesy, and made a fuss for most of the night, seeing that the procession of the king welcoming the relatives was so polite for several weeks, they also shared their own wine and food, and cheered and congratulated along the way. Even if there are a few scoundrels who want to get rich, they have long been spontaneously pressed down by the masses.

After the welcoming team marched out of Yongfengfang, it marched slowly along the brightly lit Changxiamen Street, a huge team of more than 2,000 people, plus many cars and cages, set up a battle on the street for several miles, and the Shendu City in the night was like a fire dragon, slowly swimming towards the residence of the king of Jishanfang.

However, at this time, on the Tianjie in the south of Tianjin Qiaonan, it was a different situation.

In front of the door of Jishan Fangfang, Li Tong was leading his family to wait for the return of the welcoming team, and suddenly the door of Shangshanfang on the opposite side of Tianjie was wide open, and many people poured out of the door, and the first person was in a big red monk's robe, and the smooth head case looked shiny in the firelight, it was Xue Huaiyi.

Xue Huaiyi rode a white horse, and thousands of disciples followed behind him, each holding all kinds of things in his arms, walking across the heavenly street, and came straight to Jishanfang.

As soon as he got closer, Xue Huaiyi paused, and the disciples behind him set up thorn vines, hemp tents and other things on the street, and he pointed at Li Tong and laughed: "The acting king is very happy today, I am afraid that it will not be enough to have fun, and the disciples will not be uninvited, and the car will not be unwelcome, right?" ”
