Chapter 24: Zhang Xiaolang's Marriage (2)

When the matchmaker saw the groom walk in, he greeted him with a smile and shouted, "Lang Jun is getting married, and the newlyweds are invited to get on the sedan chair." "This sedan chair is not a big red sedan chair, it turned out to be a sedan chair that the official master sits, and the sedan chair was temporarily redone at this time, but the red cloth was torn and covered with four corners, and eight sergeants carried it together. Although marrying a wife in a hurry, but the steps of eight sedan chairs to marry through the door are indispensable, in the past, there were sedan chair men in the city who specially carried sedan chairs to marry wives, and now the sedan chair men all died in the city, so they had to find a few sergeants to act as temporary sedan chairs, eight people do not cooperate well and taunt each other constantly, it is also considered to be a bitter pleasure, this stall is serious, one by one guessing what the bride looks like.

Several women of the Yin family cried and sent the bride dressed in Fengxia out of the door, she was still a granddaughter in the morning, and she became a bride in the afternoon, and the little daughter of the Yin family is still confused.

Fourteen-year-old girls naturally know what marriage is, but they are told in the morning that they will get married in the afternoon, and the little bride still can't believe it. However, I remembered the words of Grandma and Auntie, and I was going to marry a general, so I would not worry about eating and drinking in the future, and I would not be hungry if I was hungry, and I would be able to help the family and support the only brother of the Yin family. The women of the Yin family were still pretending to cry, but they didn't expect to go out, and when they thought of marrying their daughter for a mouthful of food, they cried loudly, and the little bride was also infected and cried, but because of hunger, her steps were a little vain, and she had to be supported by someone to get on the petite.

"Alas, starved to death." The little bride thought to herself, and heard the matchmaker outside the sedan chair shouting: "Get up the sedan chair, send off relatives, and play music!" I was a little overwhelmed in my heart, and I couldn't help but lie next to my pet, open the curtain and look back. Fortunately, at this time, the matchmaker was with her, hurriedly covered the curtain, and blamed: "Don't lift your hijab honestly, unless you are the groom, if you are lifted by anyone, you are an ominous person, and your wife will be divorced." ”

When the little lady of the Yin family heard this, she was immediately frightened and sat down, and supported Jiaozi with two hands, looking forward to seeing the "big hero" and "sharpshooter" lieutenant, but also worried that he was as ugly as those fat, fat, square-headed, big-eared generals, a few days ago she saw the soldiers guarding the north gate, and the rude and ugly appearance scared her so much that she no longer dared to look at the so-called general.

The two sergeants who could play the suona horn started their old profession and played happily, and the sergeant who carried the sedan chair got up one by one, lifted the sedan chair again, looked at each other, and couldn't help but say that this girl was so light, as if she was not sitting.

Zhang Xiaowu scratched his head, turned around and asked, "Captain Luo, what should I do next?" ”

Chen Tai laughed and said: "Marry a relative, get on the horse, and go home!" Then someone led the bride and groom to ride horses and raise their feet and return to the county mansion.

There are more lively people along the street, and it is really bold enough to marry at this time, seeing that the whole city has fallen to the enemy, it is not a good stall.

The county government is divided into three courtyards, the front courtyard is office, the middle is the garden pavilion, and the back yard is the garden where the county grandfather's family lives. The front yard county gate is open to the south, but the main gate of the back yard is facing east, and the two stone lions at the door are transported from nowhere. When the wedding procession was blowing and coming to the main gate, someone shouted: "When the newlyweds arrive at the house, play music and set off firecrackers!" Someone threw the bamboo into the fire, and soon the bamboo was boiled and crackled, and the crowd immediately cried out.

Zhang Xiaowu thought that the firecrackers at this time were black powder, but he didn't expect that it was really bamboo, and it could still make a sound, sitting on the horse and laughing.

Chen Tai glared and reminded: "Silly boy, get off the horse, lead the bride over the threshold, and go into the church to get married." He added: "This marriage, once born, second ripe, this time I don't understand, next time I will be familiar." The others understood, and they laughed, and Shao Zifu said slowly: "Dismounted, what are you still stunned about." ”

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but get off the horse, and said, "Duwei, it's so easy to get married?" Although he was never married in his previous life, he had at least seen Pig Run, he had attended the weddings of at least a dozen classmates, and knew that marriage was very complicated, but he didn't expect the ancients to get married so simply.

Chen Tai's eyes widened and said, "What do you kid think, how can a big wedding be so simple." Isn't it all simple? I want to get married when my brother and I got married, and I was busy for a month, and I was so tired that I almost couldn't get out of bed on the day I got married, and I was almost divorced by your sister-in-law, saying that I am not a man. Several sergeants around him laughed and leaned back, Shao Zifu pushed him, urging: "Hurry up and invite the bride to get off the girl, wait a while and take the bride's hand in, don't trip over the threshold, it's unlucky." ”

"Whoa." Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said, and everyone laughed again.

The matchmaker's aunt said: "Get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair!" The sedan chair fell, and the matchmaker led the little bride out, and handed her concubine to Zhang Xiaowu, and the surrounding sergeants beat gongs and drums again.

Zhang Xiaowu only felt that a thin and delicate Qianqian thin hand was held in his hand, and the little hand was a little cold and trembling, and even a little resistant, and he actually wanted to withdraw it after being shaken.

Zhang Xiaowu was stunned, and the matchmaker was also stunned, and then pinched the back of the little bride, and whispered in the bride's ear: "What are you doing, you are still disobedient, don't think about your grandma, aunt and brother?" You want to be divorced and make your Yin family lose face, right? The little bride was startled, and hurriedly took the initiative to hold a rough big hand, and was afraid of being thrown off, so she grabbed it tightly.

Zhang Xiaowu thought it was very interesting, he glanced at this white and tender little hand, like a delicate onion, the palm is very small, but it is also in line with the characteristics of the little bride, and he felt a little sad in his heart, maybe the earth city will be broken soon, maybe this little bride will not live for a few days like himself.

The matchmaker sang: "A pair of beautiful people crossed the threshold, stepped through difficulties, and the days went more and more smoothly." ”

After the threshold, someone should have sprinkled red dates and longan, and then coaxed by children, how could there be these grains at this time, so they had to sprinkle some beans. The children also immediately rushed up to rob and almost knocked down the little bride, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly pulled her to his side, the little bride's heart warmed, and secretly said that she was still a careful person.

The matchmaker was witty and sang: "Beans are like rain, many sons and many blessings, and the bride will give birth to ten or eight good sons in the future." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was also happy, this matchmaker is very clever, she should be a big matchmaker in Tucheng. He led the bride all the way to the main hall, only to feel that the little bride was walking slower and slower, and her steps were a little staggering, but he carefully slowed down his pace and waited for her. Fortunately, it is not the Ming and Qing dynasties, and women don't need to wrap their feet, but the little bride is young and reserved, and she can't see the front with a red hijab, so she walks slowly.

General Shi Jing and Ding Yi were divided into left and right halls, and the captain with a loud voice shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the newcomers will visit the church!" ”

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

"Send to the cave!"

After worshipping heaven and earth, the matchmaker guided Zhang Xiaowu and the little bride into the wedding room, and there was a table of dishes in the middle of the wedding room, which were boiled horse meat, minced meat, broth, fried beans, steamed beans and a roast rabbit, and finally made up six dishes. If it is normal, at least ten kinds of vegetarian dishes and ten kinds of meat dishes are placed in the marriage room, which means that it is perfect, and red dates, peanuts, longan and melon seeds are placed on the bed quilt, which means "early birth of a noble child".

Although there were six kinds of food in the wedding room, there was not a single table of wine and food prepared outside, and the guests had to leave after attending the wedding. Now that the food rations in the city are insufficient, the sergeants cannot guarantee two meals a day, and the people have one meal a day. After the wedding, everyone was overjoyed, and they each led the army back to the camp to prepare to face the Inui heroes.

The little bride only drank a mouthful of gruel yesterday, and she was already hungry, and she was so anxious when she smelled the fragrance of vegetables at this time. She thought that the bride would lift her hijab, but she thought that the groom would lead her to the edge of the bed and sit down, turned around and left, so angry that she just wanted to shout: "Hungry, starving, can't you take off the hijab and go again?" Fortunately, she remembered the matchmaker's words, and she didn't dare to move and lift her hijab, lest she be dismissed, which would be a big shame.

The little bride's mind was very complicated, and she couldn't help blushing when she remembered the private words of the other female companions, but then her stomach rumbled, and she was suddenly deflated, blaming the groom for not coming back.
