Chapter 126: Cheng Pu's Wedding (2)
"Here comes the bride and groom." There was an exclamation at the gate of Cheng Mansion, and Cheng Pu rode a tall horse and walked towards Cheng Mansion with a smile on his face.
Today, Rinshan City is very lively, and the people in the streets and alleys have long known that today is the day when Cheng Pu, the grandson of Cheng Gong Cheng Wenting, got married, and the construction of Rinshan City is inseparable from the strong support of the Cheng family. As a citizen of Rinyama Castle, it is really impossible to miss this excitement.
It is said that the bride is the daughter of Zhang Jiao, the great sage and mentor of the Yellow Turban, although she has never seen it, but she has heard of her alluring appearance in the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that I couldn't see with my own eyes what kind of flowers and moon looks like.
Early in the morning, the market opened an unpassable avenue, quietly waiting for the distant greeting procession. Some outsiders passed by and saw the excitement, so they also came up, and before they had time to eat, they bought two steamed buns at the door of the steamed bun shop, and while eating, they looked at it.
The innocent child who did not know anything about the world shuttled through the crowd with a windmill in his hand, running non-stop, and from time to time there was a laugh like a silver bell coming from his mouth. The mother chased after her, and kept telling "slow down, don't fall." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the child tripped over the feet of a passer-by, and fell to the ground, and the windmill fell out, so frightened that the mother stumbled a few steps and stepped forward to help him up. The boy did not remember crying, but reached out to pick up the windmill on the ground.
When I was about to pick it up, I saw the crowd surging, and I began to be noisy and uneasy. I only heard a voice from the distance, and I don't know who said, "It's coming, it's coming, the welcoming team is back!" Get out of the way of the people on the street!"
The mother immediately took the child in her arms and tossed it upside down, trying to replace the thought of picking up the windmill for the coming heat.
In the distance, a whole group of fiery red figures gradually became clear, like the morning glow on the horizon, spreading out little by little, expanding, and getting closer, the faces and eyes of the people who took pictures were full of joy.
The band in the team is holding a trumpet, suona, and a copper cymbal skin drum. Blowing, blowing, and beating, one louder than the other.
The song "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" made the surrounding girls face peach blossoms, more or less fantasizing about the days when they got married, and let the white-haired couples who have supported each other for many years recall the situation of tying the knot with the people around them on a certain day.
The people stood on tiptoe and flocked to watch this only grand wedding.
What made thousands of women even more ecstatic was the handsome man riding a tall white horse with a red flower on his head in the middle of the procession.
He was dressed in a red robe, wearing a red brocade and jade crown, and the golden hairpin tied the man's black hair in it upright, neatly. The angular facial features and attractive wheat skin make his identity even more obvious. A pair of bright stars and cold eyes, on the one hand, make people dare not look directly, and on the other hand, people can't help but peep. The groom sat on his horse, smiling and thanking the congratulatory crowd around him.
As the team slowly moved forward, they saw a fiery red phoenix brocade tassel sedan chair carried by eight people and decorated with snow-white pearls at the four corners. On both sides, the bride with heavy makeup is followed, followed by the personal maid in the boudoir.
The people were dumbfounded, how much does this sedan chair cost, I'm afraid that pulling a piece of cloth horn on it is enough to eat for a few months, not to mention the four-cornered pearls and the translucent ruby on the top of the sedan chair. The Cheng family is bleeding heavily for this wedding.
The palanquin was followed by the dowry escort and the soldiers of the protection procession.
A foreigner who happened to meet this scene couldn't help but say, "Tsk, it's really worthy of a big family to marry." ”
"You must be an outsider, right? Where is this just as simple as a big family" The person next to him saw that he didn't know, so he explained excitedly, "This is the wedding of Cheng Gong's grandson, Youbeiping, the righteous eldest brother of Tang Fujun, Rinshan City and even the entire Youbeiping, and now it is all the credit of Tang Fujun." ”
"Oh? So that's the case, this young groom is very resolute and handsome, and he doesn't know how the bride sits in such a gorgeous sedan chair. The stranger bit the bun in his hand, and stared at Feng Jiao, who had just approached in the welcoming team.
"This woman looks like a beautiful country, and she is captivating the country and the city." Said the bystander.
The stranger opened his mouth in surprise, revealing a mouthful full of broken bun filling, and then returned to normal, glanced at the people around him, and said disdainfully, "Say so much, you have seen it with your own eyes"
"I'm not that blessed..."Fang Cai's arrogance was extinguished a lot. However, if it is said that a woman who can be worthy of Cheng Gongzi, it will definitely not be bad. ”
A gust of wind blew, the square curtain of the sedan window was slightly rolled up, and the words floated into Zhang Ning's ears in the sedan chair, Zhang Ning's bright pretty lips curled into a smile, and a layer of happiness rippled on his face at the corner of his mouth.
After a long time, the team that welcomed the relatives back broke away from the bustling street and arrived in front of the Cheng Mansion dressed in red and hung colors. The deafening sound of firecrackers rang out and clearly reached Cheng's mansion. Cheng Pulai stepped into the courtyard with Zhang Ning on his back, and suddenly there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
"The bridegroom and bride have arrived." The high-pitched voice of the master of ceremonies rang out.
"Worship heaven and earth."
Cheng Pu turned around, and Zhang Ning also turned around with the support of the maid, and bowed his head at the same time on both sides and bowed his head for the first round of salutes.
"Two worship the high hall."
Cheng Pu also heard Tang Zheng say that his parents had passed away, and he was raised by his grandfather. So Cheng Pu and Zhang Ning knelt on the ground and bowed to Grandpa Cheng three times.
"Husband and wife."
If you get married, you get married. Cheng Pu muttered in his heart and smiled slightly. The two did not kneel this time, but half-bowed, and the two ends were touched, which was regarded as a salute.
"Licheng, send the bride into the cave room."
Cheng Pu also wanted to accompany him, he turned back alone, thanked everyone present, and took the concentric knot in Zhang Ning's hand out of the hall and walked to the backyard.
After Cheng Pu and Zhang Ning left, Grandpa Cheng sat alone on the chair to accept everyone's congratulations, "Congratulations to Cheng Gong, I wish Cheng Gong a full house of future generations." There was a noisy congratulatory sound from the crowd, and Grandpa Cheng was smiling like Maitreya Buddha today.
"Huzi, Erniu, you entertain the guests." Grandpa Cheng said to Cheng Mo and Cheng Hu.
"Fujun, today is Brother Ling's big day, we want to drink a few more glasses." Some of the guests said to Tang Zheng that Tang Zheng was the sworn brother of Cheng Pu, the godson of Grandpa Cheng, so the guests couldn't find a toast object and ran to Tang Zheng one after another.
"There is no prince today, only Cheng Pu's brother. Come on, come on, we won't get drunk today. Tang Zheng said to the guests, and then picked up the wine glass and signaled to everyone to drink it all.
Everyone watched Tang Zheng drink so heroically, and they also picked up their wine glasses and drank them all like Tang Zheng. It's just that they don't know that this wine is not an ordinary ordinary wine, but a high-grade wine distilled by Tang Zheng, and for people who are used to drinking the wine of this era, drinking this distilled wine is like swallowing a piece of red-hot coal.
"Hahaha, okay. This cup is too small, why don't we change to a bigger bowl. Tang Zheng laughed and said to everyone, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly ran away.
