Chapter 156: The Wedding
'I don't know, how many people will be invited to make the handsome have a feast?' Li Chen listened to the messenger's words, did not get angry, and continued to ask humbly with a respectful smile. The messenger's nose was about to turn to the sky, and he replied disdainfully, 'Thousands of people.' ’
How many thousand are a few thousand, two thousand is a thousand, four thousand is a thousand, two thousand is enough, four thousand is too little. Li Chen's smile deepened a little, but if this messenger knew what he thought, he would definitely not be so arrogant. A group of dead people, no matter how respectful and humble they laugh, they are also laughing at the dead.
It would be better to list how many adult men, old and women, and then how many small. At that time, not only can you prepare more fully in quantity, but you can also satisfy everyone in terms of dishes. ’
Let's say, for adult men, we offer more meat dishes. As for the old man, just stew it a little. Women can order more vegetables, children can have less, but more tricks. ’
'This.... He knows a little bit of arithmetic, and it's no problem to count from one to ten, and then he will be blind. It's really embarrassing for him to make such statistics all of a sudden, but who wouldn't be able to load a gun.
'Well, if you serve so respectfully, the commander will be very satisfied, and it won't be counted this time, and I'll give it to you another day.' "No problem, but please try to be as fast as possible, otherwise we will be responsible for the poor hospitality, and it will be difficult for the envoy to see the joke." ''Hmph, so that Shuai Man is not satisfied, it is not your turn to talk more. Leaving this sentence, the messenger left in a bit of embarrassment.
'Almost, it's time to go to Yang Ertong for ventilation. Li Chen sent people away, thinking in his heart that if the plan went smoothly, he still needed Yang Er's cooperation. didn't know that outside the courtyard where Yang Er lived, the water had been enclosed.
Yang Er is a bit like going to work, she still lives in the place where she used to be, but the work of hospitality, training and other things is in the Qinglou. As a result, her home is now surrounded.
Surrounded by the Seventh Army of the Silver Sword, there are not many, only thirty people, but it has already made it difficult for Yang Er to move an inch. But it wasn't the worst, the worst thing she had to put up with.
'Oh, I said sister, people say thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Sister, I am also good now, married to Ruyi Langjun. Zheng Duzhi is now at Yang Er's house, wearing a bright green Hu suit, and the Hu suit is also painted with gold and red, which looks very flamboyant.
"This is married, sister, I originally planned to live like this, but my husband insisted that I come out and show my face, and there was really no way. Of course, my sister will not be as familiar as in the past, but she will run a theater and be a behind-the-scenes boss. ’
You know that theater, it's Bliss. Zheng Duzhi, nicknamed Peipei, is now the peak of her life, and she said more happily, "I said sister, you are busy and don't know what to do, it is serious to marry early." You are so good, my husband said, if you get married, just stay in the inner house obediently, and you don't have to show your face like your sister. ’
"There are still ten days left, if my sister has anything to prepare, let the next person go." As long as my sister doesn't go out, those people outside won't do anything. This is what my sister has been asking for with great difficulty. Zheng Peipei pulled it again and swaggered out.
Li Chen happened to meet her at the door, Li Chen couldn't have imagined that at this time, Zheng Duzhi, who had always had a good relationship, jumped out to rob while the fire was burning.
'Let him pass, it's okay. When Li Chen came, he didn't know that the Yang family had been surrounded, and he was talking to the soldiers at the door, and wanted to go in, but he was never allowed to enter, just now, the door opened, Zheng Duzhi came out, and let him enter, but the conversation was not very good.
'Oh, isn't this Li Langjun? Obviously he knew it was Li Chen at the door, but Zheng Duzhi still pretended to be very surprised, which made Li Chen feel sick.
'It's not Li Langjun, it should be called Li Dongjia. Look at my mouth. Zheng Peipei slapped her mouth lightly, "Although it won't be in ten days." But that's ten days.
In the future, Elysium will be handed over to the slave family to operate, but it doesn't matter, Li Langjun can come often, what suggestions do you have, tell the slave family more, if you want to come to Li Langjun is so talented, he will definitely not worry about my little concubine. Suddenly, she covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile, "In the past, it was thanks to the Li Dong family to take care of me, so Li Dong can rest assured that the slave family will let my husband give me more money as compensation." Thinking that Li Langjun is so talented, he definitely won't care about a small theater. Although I always think that Elysium is a little small, but Pengcheng is a small place, the theater is a little smaller, and the place is enough. ’
In the future, Bliss will be in the hands of the slave family, which will definitely make it more prosperous, Li Langjun will come often in the future, I think Li Langjun will not leave Pengcheng. After speaking, he didn't give Li Chen a chance to speak, and drove away. Seeing Zheng Duzhi walk away, Li Chen's brows furrowed very tightly, and he turned around and went into the house for a long time.
Not to mention what Li Chen and Yang Er said, after meeting Yang Er, Li Chen came back and quietly prepared for the feast for ten days. In the past ten days, Li Chen only held a reward activity. It is said that Elysium will change hands in ten days, and a five-fold event will be held for three days.
The reward activity lasted for three days, but on the fourth day, Li Chen got the statistical list, and almost made Li Chen anxious, thinking that people were not the same thing. And finally got the data, this one has a list of the Silver Sword Seventh Army, and the total number of military dependents, Li Chen was angry, what is this.
The Seven Armies of the Silver Sword belonged to 2,000 people. In addition, there are 1,000 women, more than 800 elderly people, and many children. A thousand five? What do you mean by a thousand five people, can you be a little more detailed? Is it just one thousand five hundred, or one thousand five hundred and ninety-nine? There are more than 800 old people, and children are even more fucked. If he didn't get a more detailed count of the number of people, Li Chen might have to prepare 1,600, 900, and 1,800.
Not anymore, as early as a few days ago, he already knew the exact number of people. The number of people, one is provided by Yang Er, how did she know, Li Chen didn't know, and she didn't ask. And the other source is Ergou, who used the arithmetic and some skills taught by Li Chen to count the daily purchase quantity of the Silver Sword Army, and got an approximate number. There were only a few people missing.
And so, ten days passed. It's time, whether this day is an auspicious day for the zodiac, Li Chen doesn't know. Anyway, everything was ready, Li Chen turned around, and after checking that there was no problem, he was now watching at the door with his hands crossed.
It was getting close to evening, and Li Chen was looking forward to it, beating gongs and drums to get a group of people to come to Elysium. This is the greeting team, the front is the groom official with a tall horse, wrong, it is Shao Ze who rides a high-headed horse, and the back is the team that beats the gong and drums and preaches the suona to welcome the family.
Originally, there should have been a cadre of servants with him, but Shao Ze was probably afraid that people would kill him, and there was no concubine, only a sergeant of the Silver Sword Army. Finally, there is a beautifully decorated float. This is not a team to greet relatives, it is a team to welcome relatives back.
Shouldn't you go to your husband's house when you welcome your relatives back? Yes, to my husband's house. From today onwards, the surname of Paradise is Shao. So, it's not coming to Elysium, it's about returning to Elysium.
It's just that when the time came, Li Chen saw a group of people on both sides rushing up, is there really a killer? No, it's a barrier. Li Chen guessed that this was a custom handed down from ancient times, and it evolved from robbing relatives.
The custom of snatching relatives, even if you are very unfamiliar with it, should have heard of it, and it is still preserved in some ethnic minorities. This is in the hands of the Han nation, and it has evolved into a barrier. A group of people stopped the wedding float and refused to let it go, and they had to pay some money before they were released.
The travel expenses are not necessarily really paid, and the sergeants who escorted them gave out some food and wine on their shoulders as travel expenses. The crowd got the toll, so they let it pass, didn't let it pass? Do you have the guts?
There really is. Of course, it's not here, and some remote places, or ethnic minorities, are really grabbed. snatch someone's bride and take it as your own bride. Or simply ransacked the welcoming team.
After passing the barrier car, when I arrived at the gate of Elysium, a group of women came out, each holding a felt mat, not a second-degree obstacle car with their own tools, which came to pave the way for the bride. They spread the felt mat on the ground, and in the custom, the bride's feet cannot step on the ground, and this custom is called turning the felt.
There will be a change of word, because theoretically, this felt mat should be a piece on the bride's feet, and then a piece in front of the bride. When the bride steps on the front piece, the back piece of the mat that was supposed to stand on the ground will be immediately picked up and placed in front of the bride. But today it is brief, and the felt mats are still turning, but there are many more of them.
Li Chen didn't know the origin of this custom, but he had heard a similar story, the peach blossom girl fighting Zhou Gong. However, there is also a woman in the story who holds a bamboo basket to help women cover the sky, Li Chen doesn't know if this has evolved yet, or that he is wrong.
Yang Er, who was wearing a dress, got out of the car, stepped on the felt mat, and slowly walked forward. At first glance, Li Chen almost thought that today was April Fool's Day, and he wanted to ask, but when he saw the people on the left and right, he looked very normal, and he couldn't ask.
Li Chen had such a reaction because Yang Er was not wearing the red wedding dress in his impression. Dressed in a cyan Hanfu. The first thing that catches your eye is that it is green and has big sleeves. Then Li Chen's impression should be red hijab, and now it is also cyan.
This is true for belts, shoes. Li Chen judged from the exposed corner of his clothes that the one-piece clothes inside the wedding dress were probably white.
When Li Chen saw this wedding dress, he almost thought that something was wrong, but when he saw the people around him, he didn't have any strange expressions and discussions, so he could only continue to look at it. While watching, I guessed whether it was because I was not marrying a wife, but a concubine. That's why you wear cyan? (To be continued.) )
