Chapter 370: Sun Tu's Wedding (Part II)
"I wish Sun Dujian and his wife the joy of their wedding, grow old together, and be united forever!"
When Sun Tu pulled Ya'er out of the house, boarded the wide carriage wrapped with red silk cloth that had been prepared in the courtyard long ago, and drove outside in person, the hundreds of people who had already gathered in the area spontaneously sang and harmonized, and the sound was endless, spreading to the rear, and resounding all the way with their chariots and horses.
Yes, all this was not specially arranged by anyone, but completely out of the voluntariness of the people in Qingzhou City, because in their minds, Sun Tu is the patron saint here, and he has not imposed heavy taxes on everyone because of this. The people are often the most simple, who is good to themselves, they naturally have to repay, even if they can't do much in terms of money and taxes now, but in other things they also have to repay Sun Tu.
Today's Sun Dujian wedding, almost all the people in the city went out to celebrate him, and the congratulatory voices along the road were endless, and the entourage was so honored that Sun Tu was even more emotional, and the hand holding the reins was a little tighter.
Amid the cheers of the people in the city, the convoy of relatives finally arrived in front of the house around noon. It's just that the wedding banquet is far from the beginning, the marriage is faint, according to the ancient rites, the real and most solemn wedding can only start after the evening, but before that, there are still too many complicated ceremonies that the couple needs to do one by one.
At this time, Sun Tu once again became a puppet who obeyed his words, and followed the guidance of the old man of the master of ceremonies to go through all the cumbersome rituals one by one, whether it was to worship the heavens and ancestors, or to thank the neighbors, anyway, he would do whatever people said.
Although these ceremonial behaviors are far from being able to fight with the enemy in battle, and it is difficult and dangerous to lead the army to life and death, but for Sun Tu at this time, it is the most tiring for him. Because each step of these things has a prescribed procedure, even how to walk and when to turn around is dead, and he must carry out it in full accordance with the established regulations. This kind of carefulness, so that he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, is indeed too tiring.
But it took half a day to do such a heavy and complicated etiquette, until the sky was dark, and finally entered the final event, and he and Ya'er and his wife really got married under the witness of heaven and earth and Gao Tang.
It's okay to worship heaven and earth, it's there anyway, but there is no candidate for my parents. Whether it is Sun Tu or Ya'er, there is no living elder to be found at this time, and although there are many old people in Qingzhou City, no one dares to be the elder of Sun Dujian. So in the end, I could only compromise and put the tablets of the ancestors of the Sun family as witnesses of this wedding.
And this last step was not a husband and wife worship as Sun Tu thought, but someone gave them scissors, let them each cut off a strand of hair, and then intertwined the two strands of hair, and finally put it into a carved and gold-painted wooden box for them to keep. This is the real origin of the couple, and only those who have done this procedure are officially recognized by relatives and friends in heaven and earth.
It was only then that the solemn and ancient wedding was more than half over, and the bride was carried by the maids to the new house behind, while Sun Tu, the groom, had to stay in front to greet the guests who came to the wedding for a sumptuous feast.
In fact, at this time, Sun Tudu felt that he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his eyes were glazed. You must know that since he got up early this morning, he has been busy and has not heard of it, let alone eat, and he has not even drunk half of the water. At this time, all the cumbersome etiquette has finally been exhausted, and it is indeed time to eat something to fill the already empty temple.
However, he was still a little overly optimistic, because what he was going to face next was the full attack of those subordinate brothers - toast! This is actually no different from ancient times and thousands of years later, the more good friends are, the more they have to find ways to get the groom drunk on this day.
So, cups of wine were handed to Sun Tu, Luda, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, and Lin Chong...... These are all real masters of the "alcohol battlefield", and Sun Tu has to deal with the crazy toasts of these people, and he also has to deal with the congratulations of some other leading figures in Qingzhou City, which is not much different from drinking water.
Even if Sun Tu's amount of wine is not bad, the water wine at this time is far less strong than that of later generations, but he can't stand the cup of water and keep pouring it down. So after only an hour or so, he was so drunk that he couldn't even stand on his feet, and his mouth was slurred, and he almost couldn't stand.
Seeing this, the others couldn't pour him any more wine, and finally, with the support of several domestic servants, he staggered back to the backyard cave room to flower candles. As for the messy front yard and banquets, it was naturally up to others to help him clean up.
It's just that no one noticed that Sun Tu, who seemed to be drunk and couldn't open his eyes, came to the backyard, but his eyes regained clarity, and his steps became steady again: "Xiaoxiang, if you want to ruin the good thing of my wedding night like this, I won't let your tricks succeed!" β
The backyard was already red at this time, and red lanterns were lit everywhere, especially in front of the wedding room, which was even more festive, not only the big red wedding characters on the doors and windows, but also four maids wearing red wedding dresses waiting for the groom to arrive.
As soon as they saw Sun Tu coming, they stepped forward with smiles on their faces, wanting to serve Sun Tu into the inner wide clothes. But Sun Tu waved his hand to stop him: "You guys are tired here for a day, so let's all retire and rest." I'll go in myself. β
The four girls naturally knew what their master meant, so they each chuckled, and quickly dispersed after saluting again. The old man's cave room spent candle nights, and they naturally didn't dare to disturb, let alone listen to the roots of the wall outside.
Sun Tu smiled with satisfaction, tidied up the somewhat messy wedding clothes a little, and pouted when he saw the look in his eyes, then pushed the door and quietly entered. When he casually latched the door, Ya'er's body, who was sitting on the wedding bed, did not cover his head with a Xipa, but only wore a crown hat with tassels on his head that could half-hide his face, and he couldn't help but stiffen a little.
Sun Tu didn't care about her reaction, just smiled and took two steps forward, and looked at Ya'er intently for a while before saying, "Ya'er, how many years have you and I finally become an official husband and wife." From now on, you and I will be one and the same, and there will be no more barriers. As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the other party's little hand.
Ya'er's body didn't tremble anymore this time, and even those tassels couldn't stop the tenderness and joy in her eyes: "Three...... Husband, Ya'er is so happy today......"
Sun Tu frowned again when he heard this: "Ya'er, you still call me third brother, don't call me any husband, so that you can be closer." Moreover, don't you think it's very bad to always add three words in front of your husband? "It's like you still have a doctor, a second husband, and I'm only in third...... He didn't say that last sentence.
Ya'er was slightly stunned, in fact, she was also a little awkward about changing her name, but she felt that now the identities of the two had changed, and she had changed her name. But since Sun Tu said so, she naturally wouldn't insist anymore, so she said softly: "Third brother, Ya'er is so happy today." β
"This is just the beginning, and our best days are yet to come." Sun Tu laughed, then turned around and came to the side of the long case, picked up a water scoop tied with red silk, poured some wine into it, and then returned to Ya'er, slowly lifted the tassel in front of her, carefully looked at the newlywed wife who was still like a porcelain doll, and then sat side by side with her, and the two drank a scoop of wine, which was for the sake of wine.
It was only at this time that all the steps of this wedding were completed, and Sun Tu looked at Ya'er with tenderness again, and his eyes were full of some unspeakable desire: "Ya'er, the hour is not early, you and I should rest in peace earlier." β
Ya'er bit her red and glamorous lips, she was a little shy in her heart, but also a little happy and expectant, and finally answered in a low voice, and her body and Sun Tu were closer.
Under the light of the big red candle, the figures of the two newlywed men and women became closer and closer, and finally they were completely together, and the wedding clothes on their bodies were also taken off by them one by one, and finally ......
It was only then that Sun Tu realized that Ya'er was so shy, and unconsciously laughed a little: "Ya'er, do you remember when you were in Bianjing City, you suddenly came to climb into my bed that night?" At that time, you were a hundred times bolder than today...... "Yes, the yellow-haired girl at that time dared to push him back, but today's Ya'er is completely passive.
"Third brother...... Say no more. Ya'er groaned softly, thinking that she didn't know anything at that time and actually had the courage to break into the third brother's house at night, and wanted to ...... with him Ya'er blushed even more, and almost found a crack in the ground to get in.
Sun Tu laughed unconsciously when he saw this, and then said: "From now on, you and I have got our wish......"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the wedding room became more and more charming, the candlelight was flickering, and they seemed to be a little embarrassed to look at the various behaviors of the newlyweds. Sure enough, a moment later, the candlelight was extinguished one by one, leaving only the fierce gasps of a couple of men and women in the room.
Tonight, Sun Tu got married, and countless people were happy for him and blessed him and Ya'er.
But in a small courtyard not far from here, a woman who was originally heroic was full of sadness at the moment, and finally could only turn her sadness into the motivation to drink, and poured a large jar of wine into her mouth. After a few moments, her face was covered with water, but she didn't know if it was wine or tears that had just come out of her eyes......

Last night, I was late, and passers-by didn't have the face to mention it, but I had to say it cheekily when I was on time today-
It doesn't matter if you don't give tickets for the New Year before, after all, there will be a next time soon, but it's too much to say if you don't count the tickets for such a big thing as Sun Tu's marriageγγγγγ It's hard to say whether there is a next time in this book.γγγγ
