Chapter 126: The Big Wedding (Part II)
Seeing that the two of them held hands and did not react, the matchmaker coughed twice and reminded, "My lord! It's not too early! It's time to get on the sedan chair! ”
Liu Fan came back to his senses and said, "Okay! Let's go! According to custom, the bride should be carried in a sedan chair by her brother or best man, but the Zhang family only has one daughter, Zhang Yao, and Liu Fan doesn't want other men to hold his wife, and Li Xiaohu and Fan Liang, who are the best men, don't dare to hug or carry their housewife. In a hurry, Liu Fan didn't care about the vulgarity, picked up Zhang Yao, and strode towards the door.
Stepping through the door, Liu Fan gently put Zhang Yao into the sedan chair and whispered, "Yao'er!" It's time for us to go! After that, he walked out of the sedan chair and turned over on the horse. With a shout "Get up!" The salute was fired, and the procession slowly moved towards the outside of the city. According to traditional customs, this road back to the man's house is also exquisite, and it cannot be repeated. On the way back from marrying, you must take another path, which means "no turning back". If you encounter temples, wells, ancestral halls, tombs, boulders and trees on the road, you must cover the sedan chair with felt, in order to ward off evil spirits. Generally speaking, in order to avoid mistakes, the man is optimistic about the route one day in advance.
The team walked slowly, from Jimo to Shihe, the road of more than ten miles was not easy, so Liu Fan specially selected eight sturdy sergeants from the army to serve as sedan chair drivers. When Shen Shixu, the welcoming team returned to Shihe, and the people of Shihe who received the news came to the streets to watch, and Shihe City was empty.
Stepping over the brazier and saddle, a team of newcomers stepped on the red carpet and slowly walked into the main hall with red ropes in hand. The guests all stood up, and the officiant of the wedding ceremony sang loudly, "Bow to heaven and earth!" The two turned to the door and bowed.
"Second worship high hall!" "Husband and wife bow to each other! Licheng! ”
At this moment, Liu Fan and Zhang Yao became a legal husband and wife under the witness of many guests. Zhang Yao walked towards the new house under the support of all the women. Liu Fan stayed behind to entertain the guests. Seeing Liu Fan come out, the guests present came to congratulate, Sun Yuanhua, Wu Tao, Li Xiaohu, Fan Liang and others stepped forward to congratulate Liu Fan, and even the invited Tang Ruowang and other priests also expressed their congratulations one by one. ”
Hearing the voice, the guests present heard the voice, and saw Luo Yangxing wearing official uniforms, followed by two people, and walked towards the courtyard. The three of them walked quickly and walked in front of Liu Fan, and one of the people next to Luo Yangxing suddenly shouted in a sharp voice, "The holy decree has arrived!" Jiaozhou is garrisoned, and Liu Fan, the commander of the Broken Army, receives the order! ”
Hearing the words of this eunuch, everyone reacted and fell to the ground one after another. Liu Fan also bowed down, and said in his mouth, "Minister Liu Fan takes the order!" ”
The little eunuch took the holy decree and said, "Carry it by heaven...... Liu Fan was crowned as a lieutenant, and his wife Zhang Yao was named Mrs. Wupin! Chin this! ”
After listening to the holy decree, Liu Fan felt a little unhappy in his heart, and thought that Chongzhen would be a big official, but he didn't expect that it was just a lord and a minimum edict, it was too picky! Isn't it troublesome to kneel down to this decree on the wedding day? Reluctantly, he said expressionlessly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
After the decree was announced, everyone got up one after another, and Luo Yangxing also stepped forward to congratulate, "Congratulations on Jimin's wedding!" For my brother to be one step late, Jimin should forgive me! ”
Liu Fan smiled and said, "Tongxi! Rejoice! Brother Luo is very happy to be here! Where to blame! Brother Luo, please come in! I'm going to have a few drinks today! ”
Luo Yangxing said with a smile on his face: "Of course! But before I come, Your Majesty asked me to bring a message to Jimin! Congratulations to Jimin on his wedding! Don't forget about Sookyoung! Concubine Tian is biased every day! ”
Forehead! Liu Fan was embarrassed for a while when he heard this, when is it today, how can he say this, and secretly complained about Chongzhen's bad scenery. I had to go back to "Brother Luo! Please tell Your Majesty! I, Liu Fan, won't lose Shuying! ”
Luo Yangxing smiled slightly, "Hmm! I will convey it to Your Majesty truthfully! Today is the great day of Jimin, so I won't bother you! Let's catch up on the old days another day! ”
Liu Fan arched his hand and said, "Definitely, definitely!" Brother Luo! Inside, please! It's been a busy day! Forgive Liu Fan for not being thoughtful! ”
Farewell to Luo Yang Liu Fan continued to greet other guests, and the banquet lasted until the evening, because there were too many guests attending the banquet this time, and most of them were officers in the army.
After the banquet, with a little drunkenness, he walked to the cave room. Gently pushed open the door, looking at Zhang Yao sitting on the bed, Liu Fan was inexplicably excited, picked up the pole on the table, Liu Fan slowly picked up the bride's red hijab, at this moment Liu Fan's heart thumped, as if time had slowed down, the red hijab slowly rose with Liu Fan's hand, under the dim light, Zhang Yao's ivory-like delicate jade face slowly met Liu Fan's eyes, the girl wore a phoenix crown, her skin was like clotted fat, green silk like a waterfall hung her shoulders, and her face was slightly powdered, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, her eyes were open like cutting water, looked at Liu Fan gently, and called softly: "Fan Lang! ”
Liu Fan gently held the girl's hands, his eyes were full of pity and affection, and he said softly, "Yao'er!" You're so beautiful! Being able to marry you is the greatest blessing of my life! ”
The girl gently leaned on Liu Fan's shoulder and muttered, "Finally waited for this day, do you know that the concubine, waiting for this day is so hard!" Don't leave me again, okay? ”
Liu Fan grabbed the girl's shoulder, looked at Zhang Yao, and said in a firm tone, "Hmm! Yao'er! From this day forward, no one can say that we are separated! ”
"Hmmm! Never separate again! ”
The thick affection rippled between the two, Liu Fan's eyes were affectionate, he looked directly at the girl, and slowly kissed the girl's ruddy lips. Zhang Yao's face was slightly red, and he gently stopped, "Fan Lang! Haven't drunk the sake yet? ”
Liu Fan was interrupted, a little embarrassed, and said, "Okay! Then drink a glass of wine first! ”
Zhang Yao picked up the scissors on the table, cut off a lock of hair, pulled Liu Fan and cut off a lock of hair, carefully placed it in a delicate purse, patted his chest and said, "Okay!" Let's have a drink at the bar! Liu Fan looked at the girl with a solemn and busy face, and his heart was full of warmth.
After drinking the wine, Liu Fan stopped and picked up Zhang Yao, and said softly, "Yao'er!" It's not too early! It's time for us to rest! Gently placing the girl on the bed, Liu Fan slowly kissed the girl...
The early morning sun was scattered on the red bed, and when he opened his eyes, he looked at the beauty who was a wife with pear blossoms and rain in his arms, Liu Fan called softly, "Yao'er!" Rise and shine! The sun is shining on the buttocks! ”
Zhang Yao's eyelashes fluttered, she slowly opened her eyes, and complained, "I hate it!" It's all your fault! Like a bull last night! I don't know how to pity others! ”
Liu Fan smiled: "Who made my Yao'er so beautiful!" Pressing Zhang Yao under him, looking at the girl's exposed spring, Liu Fan couldn't help but say, "Anyway, we don't have to meet the elders today!" Why don't you do it again? ”
"Don't..."Regardless of his objection, Liu Fan kissed the girl's lips again...
Liu Fan was tired of being with Zhang Yao for two days, and it was not until the third day of "returning to the door" that he had to leave Wenrou Township and go to Jimo Zhang's house. (To be continued.) )
