Chapter 122: The Wedding (II)
"Then let's have fun with the people, stay here for a while, and you will be familiar with this place in the future!" Zhuang Yi leaned over the window and said with a smile.
"What about the Zhao sister-in-law in your family, did she cry?" Alan thought of something and asked with a smile.
"How could it be...... She is very talkative, she is a year younger than you, and she handles all the housework very well......" Zhuang Yi suddenly felt that this was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly stopped.
Sure enough, Alan said, "What if I don't know how to do housework?" It always feels awkward to let someone else handle our wedding......"
At this time, it happened that Ila and Punu were nearby, and they rushed to greet them, but they were blocked by the crowd on the periphery, so they had to shout loudly, "I wish the princess and the military envoy a happy and healthy life!" ”
This wish just dispelled Zhuang Yi's embarrassment, and the nearby Xiren soldiers heard it and shouted loudly, and the congratulations came one after another. Ailan looked at the lively crowd, quickly forgot the unhappiness in his heart, waved a red handkerchief to greet the soldiers, Zhuang Yi also stood by the carriage and thanked everyone, this time the soldiers were greatly encouraged, shouted more vigorously, and the crowd on the street also shouted, and the scene suddenly got a little out of control.
Seeing that he was about to miss the auspicious time, Elder Yuda hurriedly asked the drum band to beat the drums to make fun, and the crowd gradually dispersed, and the three welcoming teams also parted ways. Zhuang Yi's branch went all the way to the side gate of the mansion, because the front door was the official gate of the mansion, which was obviously not very suitable, and Zhuang Yi did not have another house for the time being, so it could only be the side door.
Some of the accompanying maidservants helped Ailan, who wore a hood, to get out of the car, and some of them also covered their faces with fans and folding fans in their hands to prevent the disciples from making a fuss. Zhuang Yi stepped forward to take Ailan's hand, from the side entrance corridor to the vestibule compound, and walked along the long red carpet at the front door to the main hall. The idlers in the hall immediately went out through the back door and then came in through the main entrance, which meant that the bride would be the main mother, so they had to walk in the footsteps of the bride to enter the door.
Subsequently, under the guidance of Zhang Yitai, Zhuang Yi and Ailan worshiped the pig citrus and the stove together, which means that the family is prosperous and the family continues to drink. Then worship the gods and the earth, the ancestors and the ancestors. But Zhuang Yi's ancestors and ancestors were all in that life, and the original owner of this body was also an orphan, and this was a temporary family ancestral tablet, of course, it was Zhuang Yi's own ancestors.
After worshipping and then returning to the main hall, the bride and groom each went to the side hall to rest for a while, and then under the auspices of the master of ceremonies Zhang Yitai and Elder Yuda, a boy led Zhuang Yi out of the left hall with green silk, and the girl led Alan out of the right with red satin. At this time, a bride quickly stepped forward and tied the green silk and red satin held by the two of them together and tied a concentric knot.
Zhang Yitai shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the bride and groom will prostrate!" Worship heaven and earth! ”
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
At this time, the lobby is lively, at this time, the bride should take off the hat to meet her in-laws and husband's elders under the guidance of the groom, and also to pay tribute to the guests, called "visitors". Zhuang Yi has no relatives there, so he only needs to thank the guests who came to watch the ceremony and congratulate him, so that the ceremony of worship is over, and the man and woman are officially married.
But it's not over yet, the wedding enters the last two procedures, that is, the haunted room, also known as the "drama woman", the newlyweds enter the new house, and the interesting thing is that the groom is to take the bride's hand and walk into the new house upside down.
This time, Zhuang Yi didn't want to disobey the etiquette, it was rare to have a wedding in the Tang Dynasty, and it was his beloved bride, so he was extremely patient. But Princess Ailan was already tired after bowing in circles, and when she entered the door, she didn't care about those etiquette, so she took off the red peach-shaped crown on her head and went to sit down on the edge of the couch.
"You Han people have so much etiquette, I'm tired to death!" Alan propped his hand on the couch and gasped.
"Hey...... And what's more! These two ultra-thin celadon cups are really good, come and drink this cup of wine, my wife and I have respected and loved each other since then, husband and wife are one! Zhuang Yi smiled and took out the wine cup and poured it half full, and greeted Ailandao.
"Say that to you! I'm going to drink it anyway......" Ailan listened, and suddenly a pair of eyes bent into a crescent moon, as bright as stars, stepped forward to hold the cup and glanced at Zhuang Yi affectionately, and drank together.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Aunt Wang led a group of women to break in, and asked Zhuang Yi and Ailan to sit down at the couch with a smile. Everyone began to scatter money, which is called "scattering accounts". The money is engraved with the words "longevity and wealth", and every ten wen is tied with ribbons in the shape of long sheets.
"May the bride and groom be harmonious and give birth to a noble son early!" The women laughed and blessed.
"The wedding is done! Happiness for the bride and groom! And Mimi! Aunt Wang also stepped forward and said with a smile, and then led a group of women to retreat.
At this point, the wedding is fully over.
"No wonder people said that they gave birth to a noble son early, they really have a bit of a waist......" Zhuang Yi laughed.
"Isn't it...... They see it! What a shame! Alan covered his face and smiled.
In fact, the folk customs of the Xi people are very conservative and strange, if the daughter of a family marries with a big belly, she will definitely be teased behind her back, or even pointed at and scolded. But they couldn't help the young girls from falling in love with the young men freely, and some of them even went into the tents of the guests from other places, but they just didn't allow the girls to marry with their stomachs up. But Princess Ailan is different, who can say anything, not to mention that she is actually not very obvious, only the women who came over can see it at a glance.
"What are you afraid of...... What the hell is this...... The crystallization of love! ”
Zhuang Yi laughed and kissed Ailan's smooth forehead, Ailan leaned on his arms and muttered: "How long has it been, I always feel like a dream, it's not real at all, so I married in a daze." ”
"Uh-huh...... I'll count the months...... It was more than six months ago, on the shore of that beautiful Xuanshui, that I met a girl, ah...... What a beautiful and enthusiastic girl! Yes! She is the goddess of my heart! I want to marry her and go home, and I will be with her for the rest of my life, and I will never leave her, she is my only ......"
Zhuang Yi was saying with an affectionate vein, when he suddenly heard bursts of laughter from men and women outside the window, and the strange screams went away with the chaotic footsteps. Zhuang Yi quickly stepped forward and pushed the window to see that a group of figures of different heights had gone away with lanterns.
"Say it...... Keep talking! We'll all have something to talk about tomorrow......" Alan giggled, covering her mouth.
"Let's call this an affectionate confession, so that those bad people can learn a little bit in the future...... That's a good thing! Zhuang Yitian smiled shamelessly.
"Don't be verbose...... I'm a little tired, why don't you go and see the Zhao family's sister-in-law......" Ailan thought of something and said with a smile.
"Okay...... Don't fall asleep! I'll be back in a moment! Zhuang Yi blinked, grinning at the corners of his mouth.
It was the first time for Ailan to see him make such a grimace, so he couldn't help but laugh, couldn't help but wave his hand, and watched Zhuang Yi take the door and go out.
