Chapter 53: The Gift of Da Lun

"Die! And the face is back! Yang Qing snatched the whip back, but failed.

Guo Yang continued to lower his posture with a shy smile: "Don't! Today is a great day, don't say something unlucky! Ziyin, you don't know, this son-in-law really died, someone carried the box for the groom to get into, and after a long time, he opened it again, and he was suffocated! There is also this encircled beating, at the beginning it was smoked with the thinnest bamboo branches, and it was a meaning, but I didn't expect it to be thicker and thicker later, and the one just now was thicker than my family's family law, and it caught up with the water and fire sticks in the torture hall! There are injured and disabled, happy events turn into sad things, brother, I have seen it, I was really scared just now, I can't stand the two brothers! I'll have a drink another day! ”

Yang Qing didn't listen to it, but when he heard it, he was even more angry: "Your life is expensive, and mine is cheap?!" "I refused to give up even more.

"Forget the second brother, I can't afford to delay the hour, don't be like this thing! I'll clean him up another day! Let's go. Yang Qian came back to his senses now, angry and funny.

"Yes, yes! Clean me up another day, be sure to clean up! Now let's hurry up and welcome our relatives. Guo Yan was like a life-saving straw, so he quickly grabbed it.

Yang Qing glared at Guo Yan fiercely, and looked towards the gate of the Hu Guogong Mansion at the end of the alley.

When the team came to the door of Hu Guogong's mansion, they saw that the gate was closed and silent.

Yang Qing was puzzled when he saw this formation, and said to Yang Qian in surprise: "Why is it silent?" Big brother, let's not get the day wrong, right? ”

Yang Qian glared at Yang Qing and shouted in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

After saying that, Yang Qian dressed up, got off the horse and stepped forward to knock on the door, and there were words in his mouth: "The thief must be beaten, the guest must be seen, report the sister-in-law, come out and see!" ”

The door opened a crack with a "squeak", and Steward Zhang of the Guogong Mansion poked his head out with a smile and looked at it, and then opened the main door widely, letting out a young woman - Qin Lan, the eldest lady of the Qin family.

Qin Lan stood inside the door and carefully glanced at Yang Qing, who was sitting on the horse. Only then did he purse his lips and smile at Yang Qian: "Who is the gentleman?" Where are the talents? Why did the spirit come? ”

"I was originally a gentleman of Chang'an, I was born as a Jinshi, and I was selected to assassinate the history, so I was the highest gate."

"Since you are a high-ranking gentleman, you are more noble than the hero, and you don't judge your intentions, what do you want?"

"Hearing the gentleman's high words, they are like-minded. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ”

After the Q&A, Qin Lan covered her mouth and smiled again and stood aside.

Yang Qian returned to Yang Qing's side, and saw that he was still sitting on the horse stupidly, and couldn't help but get angry: "You pretend to be a bodhisattva!" Get down! I must have forgotten what I taught you! ”

Yang Qing hurriedly rolled off the horse and asked Guo Yang and Yang Qian to help tidy up their appearance.

The three of them walked forward and reached the stone steps of the gate, Yang Qian quietly pulled Yang Qing: "To the gate!" ”

Yang Qing hurriedly pretended to look up and down, left and right, and recited a poem. Steward Zhang led the people of the Guogong Mansion to shout hello and let the welcoming team enter the gate.

Next, Yang Qing, Yang Qian, Guo Yang's eyes did not squint, and he walked all the way, singing poems all the way. It was seen as a monkey in the zoo by the servants of the Guogong Mansion, distant relatives and neighbors.

After singing a large number of poems such as "Song of the Wall", "Song of the Turns", "Song of the Steps", "Song of the Middle Gate", "Song of the Lock", "Song of the Pile", "Song of the Tang Foundation", "Song of the Tang House", "Song of the Tang House" and so on, Yang Qing finally arrived at the door of the lobby of the Guogong Mansion.

Hu Guogong Qin Pei and his wife Qin Cheng stood side by side at the door to greet them, smiling and unhappy.

Yang Qing stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and only when he got up did he take a closer look at Hu Guogong. Eight-character beard, scholarly face, full of elegance; The Duchess of the Kingdom has a rich and noble face, and is kind and amiable.

"The son-in-law dares to invite the mother-in-law to sit down, and the young lady moves and ascends to the church!"

"I'll have to wait a minute." After saying that, Qin Pei and his wife turned around and entered the lobby and sat upright.

In the middle of the lobby has been separated by a long wall of screens, and a graceful figure is faintly reflected on a screen facing the lobby door under the candlelight, which is not real. This is his wife! Yang Qing's hands trembled a little because of excitement.

Guo Yang took the wild goose wrapped in red silk and tied to his mouth with a five-colored brocade silk from Xiao Si's hand and handed it to Yang Qing.

Yang Qing walked to the door and threw the geese above the screen.

Ah! It seems that I was too excited, and I used a little bit more strength.

The wild goose was thrown on Qin Juan impartially, startling her, and then lowered her head and pursed her lips, almost laughing out loud. This man! If you don't meet, give yourself a dismount!

The bell standing on the side walked forward quickly, picked up the wild goose and handed it to the housekeeper, and glanced at Qin Juan with a snicker.

Wild geese have an unusual place in traditional Chinese weddings. Geese have three virtues: from one to the end; Be in the trace; The geese passed the gramophone. The most well-known thing in the world is the steadfastness of the wild goose from the beginning to the end, once it has chosen a lifelong partner, it will never change, even if the lover dies first, he will never marry again. "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death." Everyone is familiar with it, but there may be many people who don't know that this sentence was originally written not about people, but about wild geese. It comes from the "Yanqiu Ci" by the great writer Yuan Haoqing at the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

The use of wild geese in traditional weddings to welcome the woman's family is a metaphor for the wild goose, representing the man's recognition and praise of the bride's feminine virtue. Even if poor families unconditionally use real geese, they will use colored knots or wooden geese or geese instead. After the wedding, the male family wants to redeem the goose from the female family and release it.

After laying the geese, Qin Juan went back to the backyard with the support of the bell. Yang Qing and the others were welcomed into the door and toasted with tea. At this time, the importance of Guo Yang is reflected, dance!

Yang Qing sat on the chair, talking about family life with his father-in-law affectionately, but his eyes glanced at the "traitor" who was working hard in the hall from time to time, and viciously hoped that Guo Yang would better twist his bucket waist directly. It's a pity that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, Guo Yang looks more and more energetic, and throws a disgusting look at Yang Qing from time to time, and there is no sign of untimely death at all......

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Yang Qian threw a look at Yang Qing.

Yang Qing stood up knowingly and bowed to Qin Pei: "It's getting late, dare to ask for makeup." ”

Qin Pei smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay to go by yourself." ”

Yang Qing was introduced alone in front of Qin Juan's room in the backyard, and Steward Zhang motioned for Yang Qing to wait in front of the door, and he stepped forward and knocked lightly a few times.

Bell was whispering to Qin Juan about Yang Qing smashing people with geese, talking and laughing, when he suddenly heard movement outside the door, and then heard someone knock lightly on the door a few times. The bell stood up violently, nervous and stammered a little: "Little ...... Miss, come on...... Here it comes! After carefully checking Qin Juan's makeup again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he turned up the "knee covering" (a long strip of cloth hanging from the waist to the front of the knee) of Qin Juan's big red wedding robe and covered his head. When everything was ready, the bell chirped and asked, "Who knocked on the door?" ”

Steward Zhang replied when he heard this: "Uncle came to urge makeup." "Say goodbye and show Yang Qing.

Yang Qing took a step forward and said loudly: "Tonight, the Weaver Girl descended to the world, and the mirror is idle. It has its own peach blossom appearance, and there is no need for fat powder to stain the face. Please get out of the cabinet and board the bus. ”

After a long time, the wooden door of the boudoir slowly opened with a "creak". Yang Qing saw a round-faced girl blushing and supporting her newlywed wife and walked out. It's a pity that I covered my head and couldn't see my face, but the wedding girl was good-looking, and presumably Qin Juan's appearance would not be any worse. Well, this dress is a bit weird, it's not the common Xipa in later generations, but a piece of cloth around the waist turned up, is this the prototype of the Xipa in later generations?

Qin Juan, who was supported by Yang Qing and the bell, came to the lobby again to bid farewell to her mother-in-law.

When the Duchess Qin Cheng saw her beloved daughter dressed up, she thought that her daughter was no longer the meat of her heart, but was going to marry another woman, her heart was sour, and she stepped forward to help Qin Juan, whispering carefully, and muttering reluctantly.
