Chapter 61: The Uninvited Guest (1)
On the first day, change the post, return the gift, send the bride price, step on the flower hall, pass the dowry, and marry early the next morning!
Wang Jingcheng and Guan Zhutou flipped through the almanac when they had supper last night, and found that everything is suitable for today's wedding, funeral, and marriage.
The rented sedan chair arrived early, and Guan Zhutou didn't even know where to find a Dian horse, while letting the officials guarding Han Xiufeng's new home set off firecrackers, while urging Han Xiufeng to get on the horse, and then beckoned the drummers to play music, and they were very busy before and after running.
A few young officials opened the way in front, Pan Er put on new clothes to help lead the horse, although the Han family is prosperous, they are all in the hometown of the horse, and they will arrive tomorrow evening at the earliest, so the big head also put on the new clothes that Siniang made overnight to greet the relatives together, the gongs and drums sounded, the firecrackers rang out, and a group of children chased to the candy, so it was not lively.
The pillar is a hated work, the funeral is inseparable from him, and the happy event can't move forward, so he can only stay in Han Xiufeng's new home honestly and wait with Wang Jingcheng and Guan Zhutou, but he doesn't have to wait too long.
This small courtyard was originally bought by Duan Jingcheng, and the reason why he bought it was because it was close to home, and the drummers had just blown it for a short time, when they heard the sound of firecrackers from Duan Jingcheng's family to greet the man.
"Get off the sedan car!"
"I'm tired of a few old brothers, this is happy money, one for each person." Duan Jingcheng stood at the door and first asked the third child of his family to give the drummers and sedan chair bearers happy money, and then shouted: "Zhixing, call your little brother to come in for tea, it's still early, and then leave after eating tea, it won't delay the auspicious time." ”
"Father-in-law Xie." Han Xiufeng hurriedly dismounted.
"Okay, good, it's really a person who relies on clothes and horses and saddles, wearing this official uniform, the more you look at it, the more energetic you are!" The daughter finally got married, Duan Jingcheng was in a very comfortable mood, and while beckoning Han Xiufeng, Pan Er, Datou and others to go in for tea, he asked the third child of his family to give candy to the neighbors who were watching the excitement at the door.
Morning tea is well prepared.
A few plates of pastries that are usually rare, and then a bowl of red dates for one person, and then serve the rice balls after eating the red dates.
Han Xiufeng usually likes to eat mash dumplings the most, but today's mind is not on eating, he only ate half a bowl and half a bowl can't eat, so he simply secretly poured it to Datou, Datou has never eaten such a delicious thing, not only does not refuse to come, but even the soup is drunk cleanly.
As soon as she finished eating tea here, the matchmaker helped out the piano with the red hijab.
Duan Jingcheng hurriedly asked the family who came to help clean up the table and set the incense case, beckoned Han Xiufeng and Qin'er to worship the ancestors of the Duan family first, pulled the red silk, looked at Qin'er's white and delicate hands, Han Xiufeng throbbed for a while, it felt like he was in a dream, he only knew how to smirk, Duan Jingcheng asked him to do what he did, how to worship, and how to pick up Qin'er to the sedan chair.
With a "sedan chair", the firecrackers were once again loud, and the drummers once again played the joy of welcoming their relatives.
may have thought that the two families were too close, and it was not lively enough to go back directly, but the two leading officials did not return from the original way, but actually led the team to welcome the bride in a big circle before taking the bride to Han Xiufeng's new home.
Carry the bride out of the wedding sedan chair, cross the brazier, worship heaven and earth, and this side is all decided by Wang Jingcheng. The elders of the Han family did not arrive, so Guan Zhutou pretended to be the elders and sat in front of the hall to let the bride and groom kowtow......
Although Wang Jingcheng shouted "After the ceremony, send the newcomer into the cave room", but Han Xiufeng can't really follow the Qin'er cave room, one is in broad daylight, and the other is to set up a wedding banquet outside, yesterday sent dozens of wedding cards, the county government, the government and even the six rooms of the provincial office, the usual relationship with the scribe and the servant have all been invited, some have arrived, and some are on the way to eat and drink, he wants to go out to thank, to go out to toast.
Han Xiufeng was really reluctant to go out, and said again and again: "Qin'er, just now Uncle Guan said that Ambassador Liu from the Department and the second master of our county government will come, I have to go out to greet him." ”
Qin'er originally planned to ignore Han Xiufeng during the day, no matter what Han Xiufeng said, she didn't say anything, so that Han Xiufeng knew that it was a blessing to be able to marry her for eight lifetimes, but she didn't expect Han Xiufeng to have such a big face, so she asked in a ghostly manner: "Ambassador Liu of the Provincial Department and the second master of the county government are also here?" ”
Finally hearing the sound, Han Xiufeng throbbed again: "Come, Uncle Guan said that they will be there soon." ”
Qin'er suddenly remembered her previous plan, and her pretty face under the hijab suddenly turned red, and she said in a mosquito-like voice: "I have to go and greet it." ”
"Then I'll go out, are you hungry or not, if you're hungry, I'll ask Aunt Guan to cook you a bowl of rice balls first."
"Not hungry."
"Oh."
"Wait."
"What else?"
Thinking of getting married, what else is there to be embarrassed about, Qin'er couldn't help muttering: "Take off the hijab and leave." ”
"Oh, okay." Han Xiufeng reacted suddenly, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and gently took off the red hijab, the moment the red hijab was taken off, looking at Qin'er's pretty face, he was stunned for a while.
Qin'er's face turned even redder with shame, and she lowered her head and said with a little shyness: "What's so good-looking, aren't you going to welcome Ambassador Liu and the second master?" ”
Han Xiufeng said stupidly: "It's good-looking, it's so good-looking!" ”
The woman is the one who pleases herself, Qin'er listened to it in her ears and was sweet in her heart, and suddenly found that Han Xiufeng was really nothing bad except for being poor, and he had already forgotten Ren Juren to the Nine Clouds, lowered his head and bit his lip and hesitated for a long time before he said softly: "Don't look at it, hurry up and go to Yingliu Ambassador and the second master." ”
"Okay, I'll go back as soon as I go."
Qin'er said in her heart that it was still early, so she would go back if she went, and she said in a ghostly manner: "Fourth brother, drink less later." ”
The fourth brother made Han Xiufeng's heart flutter, and he grinned for a while: "You know, I won't drink more." Pan Er helped me prepare water in the morning, and I used water to salute them when the meeting began. ”
In the end, he stayed in the yamen, and he actually planned to use water as wine to toast others, Qin'er usually didn't go out of the door, and thought it was very interesting, so he sneered: "Then you have to be careful, don't let people find out." ”
Han Xiufeng said with a smile: "No, I have never been seen drinking fake wine." ”
Qin'er thought that it was not the first time for him to drink fake wine, so he couldn't help but laugh again, laughing with two small dimples, and in an instant, he was full of charm.
Han Xiufeng reluctantly walked out of the new house, carefully closed the door, and walked into the small courtyard that had just been filled with tables, and before he could go to the door, he saw an uninvited guest who should not have come here, who was striding forward with a scroll of calligraphy and paintings.
Han Xiufeng chuckled in his heart, but still hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that Ren Juren was the master of Ren, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
"Brother Zhixing, there is no need to be polite." Ren He looked around at the relatives and friends of the Han family who dared not speak out, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhixing, I came back from Fuxue, and I happened to pass by your door. I like to join in the fun, so I want to ask for a cup of wine to eat, I don't know if the brother will give it? ”
