Section 2: Weddings
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the 44th year of Wanli, this day is the day of the wedding of Liu Yunwei and Xu Wanxin.
On this day, the Liaoyang General Military Mansion was crowded with people, and the dignitaries and nobles of the entire Liaoyang City gathered here. The red silk hanging beams in the general soldier's mansion are full of guests, and the subordinates are constantly busy.
Liu Ling sat in the main hall in a big red robe, laughing and talking with the civil officials headed by Wang Hao, the prefect of Liaoyang, the generals, guerrillas and other generals, as well as the wealthy businessmen and wealthy families.
Zhang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, also sent his family to send congratulatory gifts.
At this time, Liu Yunwei was wearing a wedding robe in the new house, Lu Ying and Zhao Kaishan were helping to sort out the wedding robe on the side, and then helped Liu Yunwei put it on in the mirror.
Zhao Kaishan looked at Liu Yunwei, who was dressed in a big red wedding robe, and couldn't help but admire: "I've always been used to seeing the eldest brother wearing a helmet and armor, and today I saw the eldest brother wearing a wedding dress, and I feel that he is like the fairy and sage in the play, which is really very spiritual." ”
Lu Ying glanced at Zhao Kaishan and said, "Axe, when did you become so good at complimenting people." ”
Zhao Kaishan laughed and said, "I've always been like this, you know." ”
After a while, Liu Yunwei dressed properly under the service of the two and came to the main hall to salute his grandfather and father.
As soon as Liu Yunwei entered the main hall, the guests in the hall were also quite knowledgeable, but they still couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations, saying that the Qilin son of the Liu family had outstanding strength and intelligence, but he didn't expect to be born so extraordinary.
The heroic Liu Yunwei stood on top of the main hall in high spirits, and the red dress was reflected in the sun, and the entire main hall was reflected red.
At this time, Liu Zhao had returned to the main hall, and sat in the hall with his father Liu Ling, and the deacon on the side saw that the groom had arrived, so he sang loudly: "The high hall is on the side, a salute to congratulate, bow, worship, worship, and flat." ”
Liu Yunwei bowed to his grandfather and father under the deacon's singing and bowed to thank his grandfather and father for their nurturing and teaching.
After the ceremony, the deacon handed over a glass of wine, Liu Yunwei got up and took the wine glass, offered a little wine to worship the gods, and then took a shallow sip, and handed the wine glass to Lu Ying on the side.
Liu Zhao looked at Liu Yunwei very pleased, and thought: "Back then, Cao Mengde praised Sun Quan, saying that he should be like Sun Zhongmou when he gave birth to a son. Today, looking at the unicorn of my family, why do you need to have a child like a plan! He got up and saluted, "Li'er Neizhi, go to Erpi." ”
Liu Yunwei knelt down and said, "Dare not obey orders." ”
Since Liu Ling came to Liaodong, he has not been as happy as today, looking at the face of his talented grandson with a smile on his face, he got up and handed over a jade pendant to Liu Yunwei, and said: "Welcome the lady, the family is harmonious, the person is like a beautiful jade, the heart is clean and flawless, and the jade is upright, and it is settled." ”
Liu Yunwei took the jade pendant, knelt down and said, "Yunwei remembers his grandfather's teachings. ”
The deacon sang again: "The high hall is on the side, a salute to congratulate, bow, prostrate, prostrate, flat." ”
Liu Yunwei bowed to his grandfather and father again, bowed and bowed, and then withdrew from the main hall and set off with Lu Ying and Zhao Kaishan to greet his relatives. When the three of them came to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, they saw that a welcoming team of more than 200 people on the long street outside the door was ready to go.
The marriage between the Liaoyang General Military Mansion and the wealthy families in Liaoyang, the great hero who fought against the Tatars married the famous Miss Xu in Liaoyang, this is a once-in-a-century event, and on this day Liaoyang City was empty.
The streets in front of the General Soldier's Mansion were crowded with lively people, all vying to see if the anti-gold heroes who were famous in Liaoyang City were born with three heads and six arms as rumored.
At this time, seeing the groom's official come out, the onlookers suddenly boiled, and the crowd kept surging forward. The officials and officers and soldiers who maintained order on both sides of the street tried their best to stop the crowd, and finally stopped the crowd surge, but they could not stop the enthusiasm of the crowd.
"The groom!"
"General Liu is overjoyed."
"Congratulations to General Liu."
"The big hero hugs the beauty."
Liu Yunwei laughed, his face was red, as if he was drunk, and thanked the people around him again and again: "Thank you, old folks, thank you, old folks." ”
Lu Ying and Zhao Kaishan beckoned the people to scatter the candy and sealed red envelopes to the crowd, and the people were boiling again.
Liu Yunwei took a look at the welcoming team:
At the front of the line were fifty drummers dressed in red; After that, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, and Li Tianhao were three, of which Wu Xing held the wild goose in his arms, and Wen Poyu and Li Tianhao were on both sides of a welcoming carriage on the left and right; After that, there were ten coachmen, driving ten carts, all of which were dowry; In the end, it was Lu Ying who selected one hundred and fifty iron horsemen from the army to serve as the escort of his relatives.
The deacon who followed Liu Yunwei saw that the auspicious time had arrived, so he sang loudly: "The dragon horse is on the horse, the phoenix is for the phoenix, and the new monarch is driving the luan, to welcome the girl!" ”
In the singing harmony, Liu Yunwei first got up to the carriage to welcome the relatives, symbolically drove the carriage, raised the whip three times to drive the horses that were driving, stopped after the wheels rotated for three weeks, and then got off the carriage and prepared to set off, and the carriage was handed over to the coachman to drive.
"The auspicious time has arrived, welcome the kiss!" The master of ceremonies sang.
Fifty drummers played joy, and in the auspicious music, the welcoming procession set off towards Xu's house.
From the General Soldier's Mansion to the Xu's Mansion, there were crowds of people all the way, and the cheers of the crowd continued to extend forward with the movement of the welcoming procession, and Liu Yunwei rode on a horse and kept greeting the cheering crowd.
Although there are many dowry gifts in the welcoming procession, they are not as dazzling as the iron cavalry soldiers who escort them. The Iron Cavalry Warriors are dressed in brand-new armor and are majestic; The armor is draped with a bright red cloak, and the heroic spirit is compelling; The team of 150 people was uniform, which caused the big girls and young daughters-in-law to scream again and again, and the young men and strong men were jealous.
Soon, the greeting team came to the door of the Xu family, and the deacon arranged by the Xu family at the door saw that the greeting team had arrived, and sang loudly: "The greeting ceremony has arrived, and the newlyweds are waiting to come out." The subordinates in the mansion heard the deacon's voice and hurriedly ran into the mansion to inform Xu Mingwei.
At this time, Xu Mingwei was paying tribute to his ancestors in the ancestral hall of Fuzhong, and knew that Liu Yunwei had arrived at the door, so he prayed to the ancestors of the Xu family: "The ancestors of the Xu family are above, and Xu Mingwei, the head of the Xu family, please tell the sages, my only daughter Xu Wanxin, will be returned to Liu Yunwei, the eldest grandson of the Liaoyang General Army, today." On the day of marriage, I was very sad. After speaking, Xu Mingwei's eyes were slightly red and bowed to the ancestral tablet, and after the ceremony, he went out of the main gate to greet his uncle.
After a while, Liu Yunwei saw his father-in-law come out to greet him, and hurriedly paid homage with the gift of his juniors: "Mount Tai is healthy." ”
Xu Mingwei happily accepted Liu Yunwei's worship, accepted the dowry, and then introduced Liu Yunwei into the mansion. Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, Wu Xing, and Li Tianhao followed Liu Yunwei into the mansion together, while the guards stayed in place and waited.
Liu Yunwei followed Xu Mingwei into the main hall, came to Xu Wanxin's boudoir door and stood north, took the wild goose handed over by Wu Xing, respectfully put it in the courtyard, bowed to Xu Mingwei, and then said: "Yunwei is ordered by his father, and he will obey his orders with Zijiali." ”
Xu Mingwei was happy to see that his new son-in-law was so outstanding, but he was a little sad when he thought that his beloved daughter was going to get married today, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes under the combination of joy and sorrow. Xu Mingwei hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I, I am determined to obey my fate." ”
The deacon stood on the steps to the east, facing west, and sang, "Bow, bow, bow, flat." ”
Liu Yunwei saluted Xu Mingwei again to thank his father-in-law for raising his beloved wife. After the ceremony, he walked out of the main hall under the leadership of the deacon, left the Xu Mansion under the guidance of the subordinates outside the door, and returned to the General Military Mansion with Lu Ying and Zhao Kaishan to wait.
Xu Mingwei lost his wife at an early age, and has not been reborn for many years, and now he is sitting alone facing south. Qiao Ling led Xu Wanxin, who was wearing a phoenix crown, out of the boudoir, and came to Xu Mingwei, standing facing north.
The deacon sang four times in a row, Xu Wanxin bowed to his father four times in a row, this worship was already bidding farewell to his father, and Xu Wanxin was already in tears when he got up. Xu Mingwei was also in tears, got up and took his daughter's hand, and tearfully admonished: "Go to the Er's house, don't forget to be solemn." The deceased mother's admonition: Sleep all night and think, no disobedience. Mother-in-law admonishes: There is no violation of the precepts of your parents. ”
Xu Wanxin bowed down.
The deacon sang four more bows, Xu Wanxin bowed to his father four times again, and then Qiao Ling helped Xu Wanxin to say goodbye to his father and walked out.
The two maids each held a red candle in front of them and walked towards the gate of the Xu Mansion, and the team to send off their relatives was already waiting outside the door.
Xu Wanxin came to the door of Xu's mansion, and when Wu Xing saw the bride coming out, he stepped forward to give a salute and said, "The last general will greet Mrs. and congratulate Mrs. on her new happiness and health." ”
Wen Poyu and Li Tianhao said in unison: "Please let Mrs. enter the car to welcome your relatives." ”
One hundred and fifty Iron Cavalry guards immediately saluted and said in unison, "See Madame." ”
Xu Wanxin only felt a burst of masculinity and heroic wind in her face, and her heart throbbed: "This is my man, this is my man's comrade!" ”
Xu Wanxin saluted Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, and Li Tianhao, and said, "There are three heroes to pick it up." Then he said to the Iron Cavalry Guard, "There are soldiers to escort you." ”
Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, and Li Tianhao saw that Xu Wanxin's words were appropriate, and they were not afraid in the face of Su Su Tieqi, and they were amazed in their hearts: "What a strange woman!" ”
Xu Wanxin sat in the carriage with Qiao Ling's support, and the convoy went to the General Military Mansion in the sound of music.
Along the way, the onlookers cheered and shook the sky, and Xu Wanxin's heart seemed to fly to the General Military Mansion in front of him in the cheers, and flew to the side of his sweetheart.
After a short time, the send-off team came to the General Soldier's Mansion.
Outside the gate, two praisers have been waiting here, seeing that the bride has arrived, they came to the carriage to ask for a drop (get off), Qiao Ling put Xu Wanxin off the carriage, Xu Wanxin with a phoenix crown in the body is dazzling, like a fairy in the heavenly palace, as soon as the appearance of the onlookers caused a burst of exclamations.
"Oh my God, this is simply a nine-day mother."
"The daughter of the Xu family is a fairy."
"Sure enough, it's a beauty with a hero."
Xu Wanxin's cheeks flushed when she heard the admiration around her, as if she was drunk, and the two praisers smiled and stepped forward to help the newcomer enter the General Soldier's Mansion left and right.
After everyone entered the house, they saw that Liu Yunwei was already waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw the bride they had been thinking about for a long time, Liu Yunwei was a little stunned, and looked at Xu Wanxin in a daze.
The surrounding subordinates and guests laughed when they saw Liu Yunwei's appearance: The ancients were sad about the beauty pass, and the ancients did not deceive me.
Lu Ying smiled, quietly stabbed the groom, Liu Yunwei came to his senses, realized his gaffe, smiled embarrassedly, walked to the bride, and after saluting Xu Wanxin, they entered the house together and came to the main hall.
At this time, the wedding banquet had been arranged in the main hall, the groom sat on the east side, the bride sat on the west side, and the deacon took the two people into the table, and sat facing each other from east to west.
Then, the deacon sang loudly: "The phoenix meets, and they fish together." Worship, worship. ”
The two bowed to each other twice to show their respect for each other from now on. After the ceremony, Qiao Ling held the food table in front of Liu Yunwei and poured wine for him, Liu Yunwei was allowed to drink, and at the same time, Lu Ying held the food table in front of Xu Wanxin and poured wine for him, Xu Wanxin also received wine.
After that, Lu Ying and Qiao Ling put their food tables together and put food on them. Liu Yunwei and Xu Wanxin ate together, and the wedding ceremony was completed since then.
