The three brides board the sedan chair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yanqing stepped on the elephant dragon, circled the three sedan chairs three times, and slowly left the ground in the sound of the three people chanting 'get up the sedan chair' in unison.
But don't think that the wedding is over, in fact, the ordeal for the bride and groom really begins.
It was more than an hour for the welcoming team to arrive outside the gate of Gongxian County. For the people of Gong County, the city gate of Gong County is the gate of the new home of the three brides. Xue Shui and the others had lost face in Miaoqiu before, and of course they had to try to get it back. Otherwise, he would be incompetent. With Xue Shui shouting, in the laughter of the people of Gongxian County, Yao Yi, Du Ruhui and others rushed up, blocking the road of the welcoming team.
"Please give a message to the bride!"
"Yes, please give the bride a gift!"
In traditional customs, this is called the barrier text, which complements the hypnotic poem of the groom when he greets him, which is actually the bride's confession to the groom.
Previously, Li Yanqing was in the Milliqiu Wu Fort, and he wrote poems in seven steps three times, which has amazed everyone.
Du Ruhui and others naturally regretted that they had missed such a wonderful show in vain. You must know that Yanqing has almost stopped writing poems over the years, so that 'goose' Wen Wanjin is hard to find. Now, there have been three excellent works in a row, how can people not be amazed, the goose boy's sword is still sharp, and the literary style is still amazing? It is precisely because of this that Du Ruhui and others will categorically not let go of the three daughters.
Now, it is the men who stand up to embarrass the women's family.
Although Pei Renji and the others in the carriage behind the sedan chair all showed a knowing smile.
Maybe the scene in front of them is so familiar to them. Seeing this, I can't help but feel emotional.
However, Du Ruhui and others failed in the end.
The three daughters had been prepared for a long time, and as early as a few days ago, Pei Cuiyun was the main writer and wrote three articles on car barriers.
The eldest grandson is innocent, delicate and innocent, and Duoduo's surname is decisive and capable, although he is also familiar with literature and ink, but after all, he can't compare to Pei Cuiyun's level.
I think that at the beginning, Pei Cuiyun said that he was pestering Li Yanqing and talking about poetry and articles.
It's not a great work, but it's also a top grade. In fact, even if it is not a top-grade product, it is impossible for Du Ruhui and others not to pass.
It's just that when the three articles on the car barrier were read out in public, the three girls sat in the sedan chair, shy on one side, and faintly worried on the other. If it is said that at noon today, Pei Cuiyun can still confidently say that those three articles are not bad. After Li Yanqing's three seven-step poems, her confidence is inevitably a little insufficient. Du Ruhui also knew the thoughts of the third daughter, and deliberately slowed down the reasoning, until the third girl hated her so much that she clenched her teeth.
Finally, this obstacle article is passed.
But Li Yanqing's ordeal began again......
Eight sedan chairs came to the door of the Li Mansion and stopped again. But this time, Xue Shu, Du Ruhui, Yao Yi and the others didn't know where to hide, so they saw Mrs. Gao with a group of female dependents, with a gloomy smile on her face, holding sticks one by one, and forcing Li Yanqing with a smile.
In the wedding, there is a procedure called the son-in-law, whose role is to kill the prestige of the groom's official.
All the women on the bride's side will be present and the groom will be beaten with a wooden rod. If Li Yanqing wants to marry a wife, he must get off the sedan chair and rush into the courtyard to be over. But Yan Qing found that he didn't know who came up with the idea, and the place where he got off the sedan chair was far away from the gate of the Li Mansion.
"Mother, don't want it!"
Li Yanqing looked at Mrs. Gao with a pitiful look.
Mrs. Gao smiled: "My son just has to do it, and my mother will not let you suffer." ”
Having said that, Ke Yanqing also knows that it is not easy to pass this level easily. Looking back, the three brothers of Xiongkuohai consciously took more than a dozen steps back. This is a mother-in-law beating her son-in-law, they are such idle people, so let's run as far as they can.
As soon as his heart was crossed, Li Yanqing gritted his teeth, lifted the placket, and rushed to the gate with a step.
I felt that the wooden staff was falling like a raindrop, and it was not accompanied by the cacophony of the women's screams. In just a few dozen steps, after Li Yanqing rushed over, he had become embarrassed, standing on the steps of the gate, covering his chest from time to time, making a look of fear.
This also made the women's army feel happy.
The groom finished packing, but the bride was still in the palanquin......
Don't worry, as soon as Mrs. Gao and the others entered the gate of the Li Mansion, they saw a group of men in green clothes, led by Xu Jingzong, running out of the mansion. All of them were green shirts and black boots, holding pieces of prototype red brocade felt pads in their hands, spread in front of the three large sedan chairs. Xu Jingzong shouted: "Please let the bride enter." ”
This is also a traditional ritual called 'turning'.
But seeing the three brides coming out of the sedan chair, the lotus step moved lightly and stepped on a brocade felt mat. Then he stepped forward, and as soon as his hind feet left the felt pad, a man in Tsing Yi immediately picked it up and ran to the front to continue. The three brides blushed and walked towards the gate of the Li Mansion shyly.
The meaning of the transfer is to pass on the lineage, and it contains the meaning of a bright future.
Du Ruhui and others stood next to them, shouting loudly, and some people whistled from time to time. If it was a thin-skinned woman, she would have been ashamed to be unable to walk. Fortunately, the three brides did not hear the noise. Although he was a little shy, he did not lose his manners.
When the transfer is over, the wedding will officially enter the **......
******
When the moon is in the sky, Chang'an City is a little cold and bleak.
The eastern and western cities have been closed. Since the beginning of the year, Chang'an has implemented a night ban, and it has been three months in the blink of an eye. Since the implementation of the night ban, it has made the bustling Xijing much more deserted.
Li Mi in the Central Plains is in a lot of trouble, and Guanzhong is also not very stable.
First, Xue Ju, the captain of Jincheng County, raised troops to rebel, claiming to be the overlord of Western Qin, and he was invincible. The eldest son, Xue Rengao, and the second son, Xue Renyue, borrowed the courage of ten thousand people. Although the Sui army repeatedly sent troops to quell the chaos, it was repeatedly defeated and returned. At the same time, bandits in various parts of Guanzhong also raged one after another.
Mai Zizhong was alone, through the deep path, to the lotus pond.
The lotus flowers in the pond are blooming and are particularly beautiful. He strolled into the pavilion, sat down in kimono, looked at the lotus flowers swaying in the wind, and was stunned for a while.
Come to think of it, she has become that person's wife!
Mai Zizhong, who is the general of the Eagle Strike Lang of the Black Stone Mansion, how can he not know about Li Yanqing's marriage?
It stands to reason that he should have rushed back to Gong County as soon as possible and congratulated Li Yanqing in person. However, how can he face the beautiful woman he admired in the past and become someone else's bride? I thought that I could face this matter calmly. After all, Yanqing is his savior, and he has already married a wife. But when he heard about it, the only thing he felt was a tingling pain in his chest.
After all, I still can't forget her......
Mai Zizhong shook his head and sighed faintly.
"Wheat, wheat!"
In the distance, a gentle voice was heard.
Mai Zizhong hurriedly got up and raised his eyes. I saw a group of people coming up the path, led by a woman, wearing a loose skirt, walking slowly.
"Lady, why did you come out? Didn't the doctor come just now and ask you to rest more? ”
Mai Zizhong hurriedly walked down from the pavilion and walked forward quickly.
That woman is Mai Zizhong's wife Yu Wenfeng.
Yuwen Feng is the daughter of Yuwen Zhiji, but compared to her father, her surname is much more lenient, and she is jealous and hateful. Seeming to enjoy Mai Zizhong's thoughtfulness, the two walked into the gazebo. A servant girl walked in with two mazzas, and put a pier on it, and put the food plate on top of it.
"I heard just now that you didn't eat dinner, so I asked the guy to make some soup for you."
As Yu Wenfeng spoke, he pushed the jade cup in front of Mai Zizhong, and then waved his hand to signal the maids to all retreat.
"There is Mrs. Lao to worry about!"
Mai Zizhong took a sip of the soup, and at the same time, in his heart, he secretly blamed himself: Maizi, Maizi, you have already married a wife, how can you still worry about other people's ladies? Although Sister Feng is not as beautiful as Cuiyun, nor is she as gentle as Cuiyun, she is very good to you. She is indeed not as talented as Cuiyun, but you must also understand that you are Mai Zizhong, not the brilliant Li Yanqing.
"Wheat, but what's on your mind?"
Mai Zizhong was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head, "What's going on there." ”
Yu Wenfeng showed a quiet smile, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Maizi, are you still thinking about Sister Cuiyun in your heart?" ”
"Well...... Ah, don't think about it, I don't care about anyone. ”
"You don't want to hide it from me, you and I have been married for two years, how can I not know what is on your mind? I also know that you liked Cuiyun girl back then, but it's a pity...... There is a peerless goose boy, but you are ruined by the wall. In fact, these things were so spread at that time that even if I was deaf, I could hear some clues. A few days ago, Gong County sent an invitation, and you couldn't keep it.
It stands to reason that the goose boy is not only your savior, but also your superior.
How could you not attend such a big event as his marriage? Although you said it at the time, you were still sad about Lao Fei. But I know in my heart that you're feeling sorry for yourself, aren't you? ”
Mai Zizhong opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to defend himself.
Actually, what is the justification for this? What Yu Wenfeng said is also all true.
"Lady, are you angry?"
"Of course I'm angry, if you think about it, when your father-in-law is by your side, she has another woman in her head. Although I think I have the surname Dalu, I am also a woman, and I will be jealous and sad. It's just that I know that my phase guild will be better. ”
One sentence made Mai Zizhong blush.
He lowered his head, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said, "Lady, I don't want to go back to Gongxian again!" ”
"Are you afraid to see Cuiyun girl?"
"It's just one reason, but it's not the main thing.
Don't hide it from the lady, there is Li Langjun in Heishi Mansion, and Gongxian County will be safe and worry-free. I'm in Blackstone Pass, like a superfluous person...... It's not that Li Langjun despises me, it's that I stay there and have almost nothing to do. Heishi Guanwen has Du Ruhui Xue Shu, who is resourceful, and has Luo Shixin Wang Fubao, and his martial arts are strong. In addition, Li Langjun himself is also a decisive person, and I stayed in Heishi Pass, which is not very useful. ”
"And what do you want?"
Mai Zizhong raised his head and looked up at the starry sky and the moon.
"I've been thinking about this for the past two days...... I miss Mai Zizhong, who is also a dignified seven-foot man, and I can't live on my grandfather's shadow all my life. I want to build a career, to build my own work...... Lady, I hope that one day when people mention me Mai Zizhong, they will not say, 'He is the grandson of Mai Tiezhu', but 'Mai Tiezhu, is Mai Zizhong's grandfather'.
I have heard that Lingnan has been extremely unpeaceful lately, and the imperial court is unable to take care of it.
Therefore, I want to report to the imperial court and invite myself to go to Lingnan to quell the war...... The big chessboard of the Central Plains may not have a place for me to stand, but I hope that I can be in a foreign land. ”
Yu Wenfeng smiled softly, and she stretched out her hand to stroke the messy hair on Mai Zizhong's forehead.
"Maizi, since you want to, then just do it, no matter what, I will follow you...... One day I will tell the world that my Yuwenfeng's father-in-law is not half inferior to that goose boy. ”
A certain string in Mai Zizhong's heart has moved!
