Qu Hao left Zheng Guo with Chen Ermao and Chen Shi Kuaima and returned to Chen Ermao's hometown in Zhuye.

After Qu Hao and the three of them appeared, the whole Chen family came out to greet them, although they didn't see Wu Mengyao with some regrets, and later heard the bad news they recounted, they all felt very sad, but Qu Hao and Chen Ermao came back safely and everyone felt comforted, and the new guest Chen Shi was also welcomed by everyone.

Compared to the last time I left Chenjia Village, these days have been even colder. The cold snap from the north covered the river with a layer of ice, and the wind felt a pain on the face, and the most uncomfortable part was that the feet were so cold that they seemed to have completely disobeyed the call.

Chen Damao built a new house for himself, and built a house of the same size for his younger brother not far away, so that his younger brother could marry his daughter-in-law in the future, which made Chen Ermao very moved.

Da Mao Ermao's new houses are the best in Chenjia Village. Although they are not buildings, they are all made of green bricks and large tiles, and they are tall and spacious, and they stand out from the crowd among the many thatched houses.

Qu Hao saw that there were a lot of green bricks after the two brothers built their house, and the local area was very cold, so their kitchen happened to be next to the bedroom, so he designed a fire kang for them, and the effect was so good that everyone felt magical.

Although Qu Hao has not yet fully recovered from the pain of "losing" Meng Yao, he is also accepting this change. Ziyan was naturally very happy that her brother came back, but seeing that he was sad because of Sister Mengyao's matter, she was also a little worried, and secretly hoped that he would be happy sooner.

Chen Damao's marriage began the final preparations after the three of them returned, and everyone was busy with it.

Chen Damao's new daughter-in-law is in Datian Village, not far away, named Li Yue. It is said that she is the most beautiful girl in Datian Village, but Chen Damao's family has never seen it, and the matchmaker praised Li Yue in Chen's house, saying that she was as beautiful as a fairy, and Chen Damao was moved to get married.

The winter solstice is the day of Da Mao's marriage, this day Chenjia Village is very lively, Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi of Zhuye brought a large horse convoy to the village early to gather at the head of the village, Qu Hao did not see the sedan chair, it can be seen that there was no custom of carrying a sedan chair to welcome relatives at that time.

The groom Chen Damao did not wear a festive costume of red and purple, and the first carriage to welcome the family was not draped in red and colored, but in ink, which surprised Qu Hao.

The first thing the groom Chen Damao did to receive his relatives was to listen respectfully to his parents' teachings on the etiquette and treatment of people in his parents' hall, which made Qu Hao feel refreshed, and the Chinese cultural tradition of the state of etiquette had become a common practice at that time.

After listening to his father's teachings, Chen Damao took out a wild goose from the back room and followed the first carriage to pick up his relatives slowly. Everyone got into the carriage in turn and followed to Datian Village, where Qu Hao and Ziyan took a carriage.

"Ziyan, why does the groom hold a wild goose?" Qu Hao asked.

"This wild goose was brought by the woman for the engagement when she was married, and it was brought back to the woman's family when she welcomed her according to etiquette. The goose is an auspicious bird, meaning to bring happiness and peace to both of them. Zi Yan said with a smile.

The welcoming team came to Datian Village, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole village, because they had never seen such a big battle to welcome the relatives, and the bride's family was also fully prepared, the whole courtyard was lit up, and the bamboo was burning on both sides of the courtyard gate, crackling and crackling, Qu Hao wondered why he burned bamboo instead of setting off firecrackers, and thought that no one had invented this thing yet.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the groom Chen Damao stepped forward to knock on the door, only to hear the sound of chattering from the groom asking for money. Da Mao had already prepared, and a large handful of copper coins were thrown across the courtyard wall, and the sound of giggling and robbing money immediately came from inside. Qu Hao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this scene is the same as modern society.

After a few rounds of copper coins, the gate of the courtyard was finally opened, and the welcoming team was put in, and the relatives of the host's family were busy greeting everyone enthusiastically, serving tea and pouring water, so lively.

At this time, the bride's father walked out, and Chen Damao put the goose on the ground and bowed to his father-in-law.

After the salute, Chen Damao's father-in-law greeted everyone one by one to show their welcome.

After the etiquette is over, on the bride's side, the bride Li Yue, who is dressed in a grand dress and wears a hijab, is accompanied by an elderly relative, and first of all, she has to listen to the teachings of her parents, suggesting how to be filial to her husband's in-laws, how to toast during the wedding, and other etiquette.

After the bride Li Yue's ceremony, she still wore a hijab, and was carried by the groom to the carriage, and the bride's wedding procession was several carriages carrying the bride's dowry.

After saying goodbye to his parents-in-law, the groom personally drove the carriage to Chenjia Village, and Qu Hao saw the bride's parents looking at the carriage their daughter was riding, and kept wiping their tears.

After the motorteam arrived at Chenjia Village, Chen Ermao and a group of people lit bamboo at the head of the village, and the real firecrackers crackled to warmly welcome the bride.

When the bride enters Chen Damao's new home, Da Mao's parents are already sitting in the middle of the hall and accepting the newlyweds' bows, followed by the couple's mutual respect.

After saluting their parents and mutual respect, Chen Damao and Li Yue were sent into the cave room by everyone. I saw that all kinds of food and wine had already been placed there, and the two of them performed a joint ceremony under the witness of relatives and friends, which is now a cup of wine, but a cup of wine is not like a small cup used in modern society, but a scoop of wine made of gourd split in half, fortunately, the alcohol content at that time was low, otherwise such a big scoop of wine, it would definitely be drunk. After the ceremony, everyone withdrew, and Chen Damao and Li Yue privately performed the bed ceremony and officially became husband and wife.

Qu Hao sighed after watching this wave of ancient marriage ceremonies. Compared with modern times, the ancients in the Spring and Autumn period paid more attention to etiquette and etiquette, and the bride and groom listened to their parents' teachings with respect and meticulous etiquette throughout the wedding process. And there are no bad habits like making a house at all.

When the bride and groom had a bed ceremony, everyone also said goodbye to Chen Damao's parents, and the horse convoy of Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi and others also left Chenjia Village and rushed back to Zhuye.

Qu Hao and Ziyan still have to live in Chenjia Village for the time being, and the two came to Chen Ermao's mansion with Chen Shi, Chen Qing, and Chen Qing.

Most of Ermao's house was still empty, with no furniture or anything like that, and the walls had not been refreshed with lime. In order to keep out the cold, Ermao dug a big pit in the middle of the hall, and a large tree root was burned inside, although it was a little smoky and burning, but it was indeed very warm.

Here in Ermao, several young people chatted happily, swaying their carefree youth.

Only Qu Hao has a lot of worries, from Meng Yao's kidnapping by Ji Jiao's father and son to his departure from Xinzheng, he has always aimed to find her, and now that this matter is over, how to plan the future has become his top priority.
