Chapter 210: Sang Zhi remarries
In order to avoid the difference in priority, and both Fan and Wang did not want to have the suspicion of two doors, so the wedding and marriage ceremonies were held in the Qingya teahouse in Mihong.
The etiquette and procedures of Sangzhi's wedding were designed and arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Mi Hong, with the participation of Qu Wu and Ziyan.
However, Mrs. Pan Hong and Ziyan did not attend the wedding, because all the guests invited were men.
Gongzi Raft, Gongzi Zhu and other sons of King Chu Mu, Ling Yin's grandson, Sima Fanshan and other four auxiliary ministers, the leaders of the left, center and right armies and many other important members of the imperial court attended in person to congratulate, and social and business figures such as Mi Hong, Qu Wu and Gongsun Feng attended.
It was the first time for Qu Wu to deal with so many elite figures in the Chu State, especially the army generals, because he was also from the army, he had a special affinity for the soldiers.
Most of these elites in the Chu State have drunk Qu Wu's wine and tea, used novelties such as lighters brought by Qu Wu, and have long heard about this handsome man, and they have also greeted him one after another.
Because it was a remarriage, Sang Zhi did not follow the traditional wedding ceremony, but held the wedding ceremony after calculating the auspicious time.
At three o'clock, the auspicious time had arrived, and the guests all gathered in the lobby on the first floor, looking up and watching Fan and Wang wearing the same red embroidered brocade robes and red hijabs slowly walking down from the second floor accompanied by their respective maids, and Sang Zhi was also dressed in brocade robes downstairs to greet them.
After the two brides walked down the stairs, they and Sang Zhi paid homage to the heavens, gods, and mutual respect in front of everyone, and completed a short but solemn wedding ceremony.
The ** of the wedding ceremony was that Sang Zhi held a double hook rod scale in each hand to pick up the red hijab on the heads of Fan and Wang, and everyone cheered for them in unison at that moment.
Although Fan and Wang are no longer twenty-eight young girls, they are still in their twenties, and they are still graceful, gentle and lovely, and Qu Wu is glad that they have finally come out of their dark lives.
Sang Zhi held Fan and Wang in his left and right hands and bowed to all the guests in thanks, and Qu Wu saw that the smiling faces of the two ladies were clearly covered with crystal tears.
And the next scene is what Sang Zhi is looking forward to the most, that is, his three children, who he has not seen for many years, will appear and present flower baskets and fruit pots to the three of them.
I saw Sang Zhi's daughter holding a delicate bamboo basket in both hands, and twin sons each holding a lacquered box of fruit pots from the upper floor, walked up to the three of them, and said to the three of them: "Parents are above, please accept the blessings of your children, and I wish you to be united and grow old together."
Sang Zhi took the flower basket from his daughter's hand, and the two ladies took the fruit pot, and everyone cheered again.
Qu Wu noticed that Sang Zhi, who had been smiling all the time, looked at his three children at this time, and was so excited that tears came out of his eyes, and he couldn't help himself.
The presence of the three children marked their complete acceptance of the Sangji, and the children of the Sangzhi finally returned to the Sangji.
However, Sang Zhi's wife and youngest concubine did not attend the wedding ceremony, and Sang Zhi's adopted son was also absent, which disappointed Qu Wu, who wanted to see what Zigui was like.
Qu Wu also deliberately paid attention to Fan Shan, and he never said a word throughout the wedding, nor did he see him communicating with other people, after the ceremony, Fan Shan went to Sang Zhi and said a few words, and then left in a hurry.
After the wedding ceremony, there was a big banquet of guests, which was proposed by the two ladies of Fan and Wang, but Qingya Teahouse is mainly to drink tea, and it is impossible to cook so many people's meals.
The eldest grandson pulled Qu Wu and Mi Hong into a private room, and the three of them chatted while eating.
After a while, Sang Zhihe and his wife came to the private room one by one to toast the guests.
Because it was not Qu Wu's liquor that he drank, but the local water wine, the alcohol content was very low, so Sang Zhi drank with so many people one by one and did not get drunk.
After the Sang Zhi couple finished their toast and went out, the eldest grandson asked, "Qu Wu, why don't you contribute your wine?"
"Uncle Sun, it's not my small vessel, it's true that I don't have much liquor left, and I can't replenish it." Qu Wu said with annoyance, but he also thought that Ruosang insisted on using liquor, and it was unknown that the wedding fee might be doubled.
"Oh, then don't waste it, lest I can't drink it." Uncle Grandma said.
"When you talk about wine, I think of it, the last time I invited Uncle Xia Yu to drink alone, he was drunk and bragged, saying that their family also has this kind of wine, but it is homemade by their family, and it is also so bright and sweet." Qi Hong said.
"As much as he brags, he is not to be outdone in everything, but he chose the wrong direction." Uncle Grandma said.
"I asked him how your family did it, and he said that his wife, that is, the princess Zheng Guo, came up with the method, saying that the wine was heated, and the wine and water were separated." Qi Hong said again.
When Qu Wu heard it, it was really like this, the wine was distilled, and he had visited the distillery when he was a soldier in the army before, and those large stainless steel distillation towers left a deep impression on him.
"How can wine and water be separated when heated? It's just warm sake. The eldest grandson said that Qu Wu knew that he did not know that the vaporization temperature of the wine was lower than the vaporization temperature of the water, and that the wine would escape from the water when it was heated to 70 or 80 degrees.
Qu Wu secretly admired this Sima Lady Bingxue for her intelligence, but she didn't know what method she used to distill the liquor and whether the alcohol content was high or not.
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to the wedding ceremony, Qu Wu was puzzled by the groom's use of a weighing rod to pick the bride's hijab, so he asked this question while chatting with his eldest grandson: Why do you use a double-hook weighing rod to pick the hijab, can't you get a stick?
Uncle Sun smiled and said, "Of course, you can't use a stick, it's important to use a double-hook weighing rod." The scale stars on the scale pole are celestial phenomena: the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the six stars of the South Dipper, plus the three stars of Fu Lu Shou, a total of sixteen stars. A pound is sixteen taels, a tael is sixteen cents, and a dollar is sixteen cents. Therefore, the scale stars on the scale pole are separated by sixteen segments. Therefore, the small scale pole carries the celestial phenomena. There is also a saying for double hooks. That is, pairs come in pairs, and good things come in pairs. Lifting the hijab with a double-hook bar scale shows how much importance people attach to marriage. ”
"I see, it's really meaningful." Qu Wu sighed.
Qu Wu chatted with Mi Hong for a while about the purchase of the Gongzi's mansion, handed over the three hundred taels of gold he brought to Mi Hong, and entrusted him to complete all the procedures for the purchase of the mansion.
After drinking Sangzhi's wedding wine, Qu Wu left and came to Ziyan's house.
Qu Wu came to the Zijia mansion and informed the two sisters Ziyan and Zixin of the situation of Sang's wedding ceremony, Ziyan saw that Sang's recognition of his parents and children was going well, and concluded that Zi's return was imminent, and began to prepare for Zi's return, preparing rooms and supplies for him, and matching servants and guards to serve him.
