This Lord Gao Shenxing, Gao Jun's sixth uncle, is really worthy of a great blessing, and rehearsed the wedding of Gao Jun and Liu Yuru according to the rules, which opened the eyes of everyone present.

As soon as the time entered noon, Gao Jun, accompanied by the prime minister, took the marriage book and arrived at Muramasa's home again, and the marriage book was written by Gao Shenxing himself:

Male Gao Jun and female Liu Yuru in Liuzhong County Ranch Village, Jiaohe County, Xizhou Prefecture, Tang Dynasty, today with Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Xizhou, as the media, Taichang Temple Taizhu Gao Shen Bao, Liuzhong County Order Mo Shaocong Liuzhong Pastoral Supervisor Yue Qinghe as evidence, the two sides are married, ready to pay a number of dowries, and the husband and wife are willing to grow old together, the piano is harmonious, and the marriage book is used today. December 19, 17th year of Zhenguan (named by Guo Xiaoke, Gao Shenxing, Mo Shaocong, and Yue Qinghe)

This is definitely the most coaxing marriage book in the whole Western State.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the village's house, I saw Gao Yao, Chen's eighth daughter-in-law, and Chen's ninth daughter-in-law, each of whom brought a wattle and waited in front of the gate. Sixth Uncle Gao Shenxing had already said in advance that this was called "son-in-law", and Gao Jun had to let them beat and tease without resisting.

Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law came over first and said to Gao Jun, "Lord Gao, the little woman wants to beat you, don't blame it, just because this is a necessary formality, you can bear with it for the time being." As he spoke, he waved the thorn and gently twitched Gao Jun's leg twice, and said, "Master Gao, if you think that the little girl will only dare to beat you today in her life, you must not blame it." ”

There were many villagers around the side, and they were all amused by Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law, and some people said, "I haven't seen my mother's family so low-voiced, it's better to let him beat you, it's more like." Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law couldn't help but laugh from everyone, threw away the thorns, covered her face and ran away.

Chen's eighth daughter-in-law heard Liu Yuru say that her man was selected by Gao to be the manager of the grass inspection room, and she was grateful to Gao Daren, knowing that her husband's future future was all tied to this groom. When it was her turn to beat the tall man, she was also merciful, but she just gave up after a few moments.

Gao Yao said, "Brother Jun." I've already beaten you just now, just remember what I said, and no matter what, I'm also a member of the family, so I won't fight. As he spoke, he wanted to let Gao Jun enter the door.

No one expected Gao Chang to suddenly appear, snatch the thorn from Gao Yao's hand and say, "It's too cheap for him", and slapped it on Gao Jun's back, although it was separated by several layers of clothes, it still hurt Gao Jun's shoulder. Gao Jun begged, "Good sister, aren't you from the family?" It's really good to get your hands on. ”

Gao Chang said, "You donkey, you recognize me now!" Let me ask you, which pillar of incense was burned, and the sisters of the Liu family would fall into the hands of your livestock, which really ruined a good person who is like a flower and jade. As he spoke, he twitched again and said, "Seeing that you are wearing an official robe and looking like a dog, you say that I don't know what you are, but they are afraid of you, but I am not afraid." After saying it again, he said, "In the future, you dare to see the new and forget the old, and see that I don't uncover your donkey skin!" After saying that, he said, "This is what I beat for Sister Yan."

Gao Jun had already listened to the instructions of the sixth uncle, and he didn't dare to resist, although he scolded in his heart, "You donkey and dog scold me, but I call you sister, then you are not sister donkey or dog," but he didn't dare to say it. Ren Gaochang twitched seven or eight times, and he had to keep screaming with smiling faces, sisters, and sisters.

The person next to him said, "This is what my mother's family does!" Gao Yao grabbed Gao Chang's hand and said, "Sister, spare Brother Jun, remember to fight first, and get down to business." Gao Chang stopped.

After the bride has dressed up, she has to stay out of the house until the groom pleads many times before getting up. Before going out, the village masa and his wife put a hijab on Liu Yuru's head on behalf of their mother's family, and everyone helped her into the car. At this time, many neighbors and villagers surrounded the car and did not let the car go, which is called "barrier car", expressing their pity for the bride. Gao Yu, who was accompanying him, knew what to do, took out a handful of copper coins, distributed them separately, and everyone took the copper coins, so as to get out of the way.

When he got home, Gao Jun picked up Liu Yuru from the car and put a saddle at the gate of the courtyard, and the bride had to step over the saddle to symbolize stability. Yuru's head was covered by a hijab, and she couldn't see what was under her feet. Gao Jun took her hand, reminded her in a low voice, and stepped over smoothly.

I don't know when a green cloth curtain tent has been erected in the courtyard, called "Qinglu", and the prime minister led the two into the Qinglu to hold a "worship ceremony". Men and women marry for the combination of yin and yang, and thus reproduce offspring, so they worship the heavens and the earth first; When the bride got married, she became an important member of the groom's family, so the second worship of the groom's elders, the sixth uncle Gao Shenxing sat on the top and accepted the worship of the two; In the future, when the two live together, they should be courteous and respectful to each other, so the third prostration, which is also called "prostration".

After three bows, Gao Jun and Liu Yuru each held one end of the "concentric knot" (a ribbon with a flower buckle in the middle), and Gao Jun retreated, leading the groom into the new house. It means that the two will work together and never be separated.

Another lady came over, took scissors to cut a strand of hair on each of the heads of the two, took the colored thread and tied it in one place, as a token of marriage, called "bun", after going through this ceremony, it can be called a couple.

After that, it was the "same prison", and the two ate meat for sacrifice together.

Behind it is "合卺" (pronounced only), and someone brought two scoops of wine and let the two of them rinse their mouths. The two scoops containing the wine must be two cut with the same gourd, indicating that the two should love each other after marriage, and they should be confused about small things, and they should not be angry and casual by temperament.

After going through these ceremonies, Gao Jun can help the bride to sit on the bed, which is called "sitting on the bed". The bride is not allowed to move, to speak, or to do anything but sit on the bed. Then after the wedding feast, the groom will remove the hijab from the bride's head and then take off the "tassel" on the bride's head. Remove the red candle and the wedding is over.

Tassel is a kind of colorful ribbon that women in the Tang Dynasty wore on their heads since they got engaged. Therefore, as long as you see a woman wearing a "tassel" on her head, it means that she is engaged, and the matchmaker will no longer come to the door when she sees it. And the tassel on Liu Yuru's head was tied to Gao Jun's head for her when he went to Murazheng's house for the first time today.

The whole process will take a while, and the rehearsal will not be a matter of a while, until noon, all this is over, and by the time the bride is sent to the room, Gao Jun is already sweating.

When I came out, it turned out that in the courtyard next door, Feng Zheng and Yang Yatou were also going through the same process. Gao Jun's side was going to do it a little earlier, so he ran over to see. Just in time for the "three worships", at this time, Liu Wu also arrived from home, and was pushed to the main seat by several herdsmen to pretend to be the groom's family. Of course, the matchmaker is Gao Jun.

Firecrackers rang out outside the courtyard, and the "Qinglu" in the courtyard had been removed, and then more than ten tables were set up by the servants, and new dishes were constantly served on the stove. In the living room of the main house, a large table was set up, and Lord Guo of Xizhou, Gao Jun's sixth uncle Gao Shenxing, Mo Shaocong of Liuzhong County, Liu Wencheng of Jiaohe County, Liu Zhongmu Yue Qinghe, Lu Shanglou, and Gao Jun, Gao Yu, and Guo Beifeng sat down at the big table. At this time, the food and drinks were already served.

Gao Shenxing raised his glass and said, "On the day of the little nephew Gao Jun's big day, there were Xizhou Guo and the parents of Jiaohe and Liuzhong counties, and the two pastoral supervisors Yue and Lu were present. Especially Lord Guo himself is the matchmaker, which is the luck of the little nephew. Caution is appreciated! Now, with a glass of wine, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my fifth brother...... On the day of celebration, please drink this cup with Gao! ”

After everyone drank together, Master Guo said, "Gao Junxian's nephew is young and promising, and he is determined to be on the sidelines, Guo sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart." Brother Shen Xing, I have always regarded him as my own nephew. I came here today, originally just to greet you and Gao Chang's child, and after arriving, I realized that there was still this happy event, but I came in a hurry, and I was not prepared, and I was a little reluctant not to go. ”

Gao Jun knew that what Guo Xiaoke said was not just a scene, and said with a warm heart, "Uncle Guo, how can the little nephew not know your intentions for the little nephew?" With Uncle Guo and Uncle Sixth here in person, the little nephew is only his parents, and he has no regrets! The two uncles were invited to drink this glass of wine from the little nephew. ”

The two were in a good mood and drank it all. Gao Shen said, "My fifth sister-in-law is extremely virtuous, and she died within a few years of giving birth to Gao Jun. And the fifth brother is so careless about this child, and he has suffered from this child all these years! And I don't have enough power for him, and I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as an uncle, and I'm ashamed to think about it......"

Gao Jun tried his best to recall the past events of the Gao family, and in those related memories in his mind, some of Gao Jun's uncles were keen on fame, some were dissolute in life, and some were ambitious and talented. The bad habits of the children of the eunuchs are more or less accounted for; Only this sixth uncle is the most indifferent to fame and fortune, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his feelings for his wife are consistent, and he has never heard of the behavior of messing with flowers and grass. Among the six brothers, he also cares about Gao Jun the most, and in many places he even beats Gao Jun's father.

Hearing what the sixth uncle said, Gao Jun thought to himself, some things after his mother's death The sixth uncle must be an informed person, and his father is so cold to Gao Jun, there must be a reason why he doesn't know.

Because Gao Jun was too young at that time, many things were not clear at all, so in those memories related to his father, stepmother Cui, and sister Cui Yan, there were mostly cases of resistance, hostility, dissatisfaction, alienation, coldness, strangeness, and spoofing.

As soon as he searched for these fragments of memory, Cui Yan, whom he had never actually met, once again appeared in his mind very clearly, she was always blushing, always weakly covering her clothes with her hands, and behind her was always Cui Shi who was glaring angrily...... Gao Jun couldn't help but shudder, a chill poured out of nowhere, it was actually cold to his heart-these memories had merged with his original memories, and they were a little indistinguishable.

I don't know what was said at the table at this time, Gao Jun only saw Jiaohe County Ling Liu Wencheng standing up, sweating on his forehead, explaining, "...... At present, there are only a few households that are being approved, because their industries are too large, and the population, real estate, slaves, livestock, land, vegetable fields, etc., must be tested for nuclear experiments, so they ......"

It could be seen that Guo Dudu was already trying his best to be kind, and he asked, "Are there many big households in Jiaohe County?" Why is it that the annual tax paid is not necessarily much higher than that of other counties? For the sake of your county, the household department has urged it several times, and I am afraid that only Xizhou under my rule has such a glorious thing. Lord Liu, is this official a toast to you? ”

Liu Wencheng was already a little stammering, and kept wiping the hot sweat with the sleeves of his robe.

Gao Jun remembered that last time he was in front of Lord Shi Zhao, the governor of the West, he made Liu County Order a little too much, and he had the intention to relieve him. So he said, "Uncle Guo, my eldest sister and second brother Guo have met, and the two of them thought I was an eyesore, so the eldest sister injured me." Several people laughed.

Master Guo's face softened slightly, and said, "If it weren't for the great joy of the virtuous nephew today, I wouldn't have a good conversation with you. ”

Liu Xianling sat down resignedly, his back already soaked. Glancing at Gao Jun with gratitude, he said in his heart that this Gao Mu Prison made people's feet hurt when he made a mess, and he was empathetic, and it made people want to cry. After I made up my mind to go back, even if I didn't eat or sleep, I had to hand in the results on time.

Seeing that the time had passed, and the banquet had almost been eaten, Lord Guo first said to Gao Shen, "The conditions here are not good, my brother must be very unaccustomed to living, why don't you and my brother go to Xizhou, so that I can do my best to be a landlord." Besides, we old guys are here, and the juniors won't be able to enjoy it. ”

So Gao Jun returned to the house and called Liu Yuru out. Among the people seated, Lord Guo and the two county commanders have not seen Liu Yuru's true face, at first sight, the three of them congratulated Gao Jun on marrying such a beautiful woman in unison, and everyone said some words of wishes, Lord Guo got up and instructed his subordinates to prepare the carriage and horses back to Xizhou.

Gao Shenxing is used to living in a spacious house, and he was wronged to spend the night last night. learned that Guo Zhifeng and Gao Chang met each other, so he decided to go to Xizhou with Lord Guo. But Gao Yu said that he wouldn't go, in fact, he was pretending to be something, and only Gao Jun understood what was going on.

Gao Yao not only wanted to go to Xizhou to fill his curiosity, but also wanted to stay with her brother and sister-in-law, looking like she was difficult to choose, Guo Xiaoke loved her very much, and said that it was a big loss that he didn't have a third son. Gao Shenxing told her that she still had to come back after all, so she reluctantly got into the car and waved at Gao Jun and Liu Yuru.

Gao Jun and Liu Yuru sent Master Guo and the sixth uncle to the head of the village and waved goodbye, watched the carriages and horses go away, and finally disappeared on the winding mountain road, leaving only the breeze and high clouds, and a sense of amazement surged, only feeling that there is a righteousness and true feelings in the vast world of Xizhou.

Gao Jun hugged Liu Yuru tightly, and the two glanced at each other, although there was no verbal exchange, but they already knew each other's thoughts. All suffering, like glory, will pass away with the passage of time, and as long as you stand firm and do not follow the current, hope will always come to you.
