The audience's gossip heart instantly mentioned the apex, and they all looked sideways.
"How did you tie the box?" The camel slapped the coachman on the head angrily: "If you want to die, you just have to speak!" ”
The coachman was also clever, and rushed over with his head down to cover the box.
"Let's see if it's broken?" The camel also rushed over, shouting as he opened the box: "If you break it, Lao Tzu will bury you alive." ”
Under the curious gaze of the audience, whose necks were as long as giraffes, they saw the camel take out a half-meter-long gold ingot from the box.
"Wow! It's a gold ingot, such a big gold ingot! ”
"Tsk! Tut! The Zhang family's dowry is really full of money......"
"It's the first time I've seen such a big gold ingot in my life, and I'm going to have such one, hey! Hey! I can't finish it in my life. ”
The audience burst into discussions, this kind of money stimulation can arouse everyone's peep, envy, jealousy and hatred more than the two stimuli just now.
The camel turned a deaf ear to the audience's reaction, but seriously checked it with the gold ingots, carefully packed it back into the box, locked it, and carried the box to the car. Only then did he turn around and say angrily to the coachman: "This car is full of ingots, and it is firmly tied to Lao Tzu, if you drop another box, Lao Tzu will directly bury you alive, do you hear clearly?" ”
"Hear me."
"Actually...... It's all over the place, oh my! How much does it cost? ”
"The Zhang family is also too rich, and the dowry is so heavy, it's really ...... It's really more popular than ......."
"Huh! Scold! Our Wang family is not worried about running out of money now. ”
"That's right......"
But the camel ignored everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred, and walked away with great power.
When the whole team arrived at Lao Si City, the back team was only one-third of it, and they all walked to the old Si City.
The Wang family has long been stimulated by the expansion of their blood, and the Tian family and the people sent by various families to watch the ceremony and inquire about it are gloomy, especially the Tian family, under the impact of weapons, power, and wealth, their morale is completely lost. Everyone knows that after the Wang family receives strong support, it will definitely expand, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the Tian family's power in Longtang Town.
According to the "Jiangyin County Chronicle", the Wang family's spending on this marriage alone is 50,000 oceans, not counting their own wages. And the record of its lively welcoming procession is: stretching for more than ten miles, extremely luxurious, unheard of, and all of them are shocked...... The whole state is shaken!
According to the pre-plan, the sedan chair stayed overnight in the old Sicheng, and set off to Wangjiaping at six o'clock in the morning the next day, where to formally worship and marry.
If you can live in Lao Sicheng, you are either a powerful person in the Wang family, or a person with a high level of loyalty to the Wang family.
At this time, the city has long been lit up, brightly lit, crowded, gongs and drums.
When the sedan chair came to the city, everyone went out of the city to greet them. Collectively bowed: "The whole family of the Wang family, welcome the main mother!" ”
"I bother my relatives and friends to greet me, Cuiyun is ashamed. Shu Cuiyun can't get out of the sedan chair to thank you, please get up quickly. "At the street entrance of Longtang Town, Zhang Cuiyun can be arrogant, but here, if he is arrogant and does not show a little human touch, it is a sign of enmity, so although Zhang Cuiyun's tone and attitude are still arrogant, they reveal a bit of affection.
Before officially entering the door, the bride's feet couldn't touch the ground, and in the company of Xiaomei, Zhang Qinghai carried his sister to Wang Shihua's bedroom that had already been decorated. Then, the mother-in-law and maid went into the house to accompany her.
In the mansion of the head of the family, there are all members of the Zhang family, and they are the last guardians of the dowry items. Outside the mansion are the elite guards of the Wang family, and even outside is the welcoming team this time, and although the entire Lao Sicheng looks like a colorful lantern, torches like stars, and it is very lively, in fact, everyone carries guns and knives, and is highly vigilant.
The relationship between the two families at this time is as close as honey, regardless of each other, naturally it is impossible for anyone to bully whom, and the banquet is even more noisy and earth-shattering, and then there is the bonfire party: the roast sheep on the twelve large bonfires is golden yellow, the fat is dripping, the www.biquge.info of the splash pen is raised, and the fragrance is all over the place; the mountain-like wine jar is allowed for everyone to drink; hundreds of girls and thousands of young men jump and shout around the bonfire, and the song of the mountain penetrates the night from time to time...... It was noisy until midnight.
At six o'clock the next morning, as soon as the auspicious time arrived, the team that had just had breakfast stepped on the dew drops, and began to march towards Wangjiaping in an orderly manner in the gray sky.
The sound of firecrackers and gunshots woke people who had just fallen asleep and watched with envy. Interestingly, the Wang and Tian families are in a clear formation, but their expressions are just opposite: as soon as the Wang family saw the team, they waved their hands with a smile and cheered, and the words of blessing kept coming; On the other hand, the Tian family on this side of the street had deep eyes, numb expressions, and worried eyes watching the team pass by.
At the West Street entrance of Longtang Town, people with foreign surnames such as Peng Peng stood on both sides of the road with torches. When Wang Shihua and the sedan chair passed by them, everyone bowed silently: this was a silent etiquette for them to show their obedience to the new head of the family and the housewife.
As soon as the sedan chair passed, they walked on both sides of the procession to illuminate the procession.
A year ago, Ah Xia married Wang Shihua as his little wife, and the people in Wang Jiaping didn't even do it, they just gave a blessing to face. And today, it is the future housewife of the Wang family who officially marries in, and Wang Jiaping naturally attaches great importance to it.
Last night, almost no one slept in Wangjiaping, although the entire Wangjiaping had long been dressed up like a sea of red, but everyone was afraid that something would go wrong due to their own negligence, causing the Wang family to lose face. Each household carefully inspected and inspected, and it is not too much to say that it was a night of fear.
When the sound of drums came, in addition to Wang Ji'an's family, Wang Jiaping almost poured out, although everyone was smiling, but it is not difficult to see that everyone has a little worry in their hearts: don't make any stubble.
It's understandable to be outside to earn face, and it's understandable to be extravagant, but now at home, there's no need for it...... Except for the carriage bullets that Master Zhang specially explained, there were some bullets, which forced everyone to put guns at the gate of Wangjiaping for a while, everything else was normal.
Thousands of people bowed neatly to greet the sedan chair, everyone shouted words of blessing, only children happily shuttled through the procession, singing in unison: "Bride, don't cry, turn a corner is your house...... Bride, don't laugh, you are called ...... in the cave room all night"
The crowd laughed, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, so they could only bow their heads to hide their laughter by the sound of firecrackers that never stopped.
Although the four major families are constantly fighting among themselves, they all maintain a superficial etiquette. Witnessed by hundreds of guests, and with the blessings of thousands of royal families, the sedan chair fell in front of the gate of the palace, which had long been opened.
"The groom welcomes the bride, the dragon leads the phoenix, and the sky descends peacefully......" This time, it was the turn of the matchmaker on the Wang family's side to show off her eloquence.
Wang Shihua dismounted, carried the wedding cloth that formed a big red flower, opened the sedan curtain in the voice of the matchmaker's chanting and blessing, and was stunned: Zhang Cuiyun looked straight over, his face was flushed, and he nervously twisted the corners of the wedding dress on his body with both hands.
Wang Shihua hurriedly went into the sedan chair and blocked the entrance of the sedan chair with his body.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I ...... I...... I'm scared! ”
Wang Shihua was happy and quipped: "Wasn't you quite majestic yesterday, you were as arrogant as a phoenix, and when you wanted to chat with you at night, you were all thrown out by your subordinates." Now that you're at your doorstep, how did you become a quail? ”
"Yesterday was yesterday, and now is now." Zhang Cuiyun said angrily: "Yesterday I was going to show outsiders, but now I ...... Still...... Okay, bring it, I'll come down myself. It's like I'm really scared. ”
Sure enough, Zhang Cuiyun was provoked by Wang Shihua, and her heart was on fire, so she was not afraid.
"Husband and wife are synchronized, marriage is natural, a hundred years of harmony and beauty, and children and grandchildren are prosperous......"
In the matchmaker's chanting, in the sound of everyone's fists hugging their fists, and in the sound of firecrackers shaking the sky, Zhang Cuiyun, with the support of the maid, was symbolically led by Wang Shihua step by step to the stairs outside the palace.
"The ladder enters the clouds, the husband and wife are concentric, and they rise to the ...... step by step"
Step over the threshold, over the brazier...... In the different blessings of the matchmaker, the two of them finally walked to the lobby.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
When the two of them knelt down to Daddy and Grandma, the Wang family smiled and made many of the guests frown.
"Good! Good! Good! Wang Ji Anle's mouth couldn't close, and he kept nodding and applauding. When the young couple gave them tea, Wang Tian took a sip of tea, and after putting the red envelope in the tea tray, everyone thought that the next ceremony was about to be carried out, but Wang Ji'an suddenly took out a large bunch of keys from his pocket, put them in the tea tray lightly, patted the key, and instructed: "Cuiyun, this is the key to the family, in the future, the Wang family will rely on you - keep it!" ”
The lobby, which was lively just now, was silent in an instant. Everyone understands the importance of this seemingly simple and casual, but in fact profound little ceremony: Wang Ji'an officially handed over the palace to Zhang Cuiyun to take charge, which means that the economic lifeline of the Wang family was handed over to Zhang Cuiyun. Although everyone knew that it was sooner or later, they didn't expect Wang Ji'an to be so impatient that he didn't even do the most basic observation test, which was incomprehensible.
"Daughter-in-law Cuiyun, Father-in-law Xie trusts." Zhang Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he knelt down again: "Please rest assured, my daughter-in-law will do her best to live up to the trust of my father-in-law, the favor of the whole Wang family, and the prestige of my ancestors." ”
After speaking, he solemnly hung the key on his waist...... At this point, the replacement of the old and the new of the Wang family has been completed. It's simple, but it's meaningful. In a way, it was the Zhang family's stunningly rich and luxurious dowry that forced Wang Ji'an to hand over the family's financial power to Zhang Cuiyun in advance. Otherwise, it is very likely to become the fuse of infighting: the economy decides a qiē! In case there is a dispute, it is definitely a family taboo to make multiple doors.
Of course, according to the rules: although Wang Shihua has actually taken over most of the things of the family and is almost the head of the family, nominally, he must wait for Daddy to be a hundred years before he can officially ascend the throne.
"Husband and wife worship each other!" Seeing Wang Ji'an waving his hand, the ceremonial officer hurriedly called for the next ceremony. As a result, the couple proceeded according to the procedure, but the audience had not yet woken up, and the scene was a bit deserted.
"Send to the cave!"
The audience who came back to their senses was much more enthusiastic than just now, and the scene was much more lively.
Then came the normal procedure, the husband was invited out to drink together, and the wife was alone in the empty room accompanied by the maid.
But the next joke directed and acted by Zhang Cuiyun came from this small detail that everyone could think of, but no one noticed......
