Twenty-four: Girls like red when they get married

The matchmaker looked Wang Mingming up and down. Wang Mingming wore a blouse with small red trim and small cuffs, and his long red skirt fell to the ground.

She lifted her skirt and looked down, Wang Mingming was wearing embroidered red cloth shoes. She looked at Wang Mingming's hair ornament again. The hair was already tied up, and the red flowers were clustered around the golden phoenix.

The matchmaker nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's it, it's good." Follow me. The eldest cousin picked her up and followed the matchmaker.

Wang Mingming slowly got into the car from the back of her eldest cousin, and she saw the groom standing in front of the car door, and there were two attendants standing beside him.

The attendant didn't smile at all. They don't wear sunglasses, and they look for targets in the crowd with a pair of thief eyes.

Wang Mingming glanced at the groom. The groom was also dressed up and looked very young, looking about thirty years old. A suit, wearing flowers on his chest, very energetic.

He happily clasped his hands into fists and greeted the people. Whether he knows or doesn't know, he smiles and surrenders. His etiquette is really home.

The attendant handed the groom two big red envelopes, and the groom gave one to the eldest cousin and Miss Lan Ying. They took it with a smile, and the red envelope felt heavy when they grabbed it in their hands.

An eleven or twelve-year-old girl ran up to him from the crowd and said, "Congratulations, groom." The attendant was about to ask her to leave, but he raised his hand to stop her.

He smiled and took out a red envelope from his arms and gave it to the girl. Say, "Good boy, thank you." I had the opportunity to be a guest at my house. As long as you say go, I'll send a car to pick you up. ”

The girl took the red envelope, bowed to him, turned and ran into the crowd.

The housekeeper is arranging for people to get into the car, and the matchmaker is checking the heads of one car after another. She saw that everything was arranged, and she explained to the housekeeper again and got into the car.

The butler asked the groom to get into the car, and the two attendants and the butler sat in a car in the back. The sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped, and the firecrackers rang out in unison, and the mighty welcoming team set off.

Both sides of the road were full of people watching the bustle. There are people here who Wang Mingming knows, and many people she doesn't know. She couldn't figure out how so many people had come.

Wang Mingming noticed the women and children in the crowd, who were either holding candy or cakes, or red envelopes, and they were all happy.

When the car turned, Wang Mingming looked at the convoy, and there was a long queue of more than a dozen red cars. It's very magnificent.

She knew that her parents, younger siblings, patriarchs and elders, as well as her aunt, eldest cousin, Miss Lan Ying, and the matchmaker were all in those cars.

At the head of the procession was a bus, with drummers and bodyguards on it, which was the lead car and the open car. It was very lively along the way.

At the back is also a bus, in which are relatives, friends and neighbors. Behind the bus is a small car with bodyguards inside. That's the pressure of the formation.

Where have the people here seen such a scene, the old people are amazed, and the young people are even more envious. For the first time, they opened such a foreign meat.

The greeting procession went straight to the church. Wang Mingming was led into the side room, and several young and beautiful girls wearing one-color clothes helped her take off her red dress and prepared to help her change into a white wedding dress.

Wang Ming was reluctant to wear it, saying, "I don't like white." I don't change it. ”

The matchmaker said, "Chinese girls like red when they get married, so I want the red wedding dress you prepared and put it on for her." Reapply makeup and comb your hair. She turned and walked out.

Wang Mingming put on the red wedding dress with satisfaction. She saw them re-applying her makeup in the mirror, and they were very skillful, and they were much more beautiful after they dressed up.

They put the red flower and the golden phoenix on her head in a box and told her that they would be given to the matchmaker. Please rest assured.

Wang Mingming couldn't figure out why these young and beautiful girls were wearing makeup like this.

The matchmaker came in and asked if they were okay, the hour was almost up. They said, "All right." You see what else is required. ”

The matchmaker looked at it and said, "What about the shoes, quickly change the red leather shoes for her." ”

They agreed, and hurriedly brought red leather shoes for Wang Mingming to put on. They also put the cloth shoes in the box and handed them to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker looked Wang Mingming back and forth and said to Wang Mingming; "These girls are all well-known makeup artists, with diplomas and certificates. They put on so much makeup for you. I'm satisfied. ”

A foreign woman came in and asked the matchmaker in blunt Chinese, "Are you satisfied?" The matchmaker offered to talk to her in English. They had a great time talking together.

Their conversation was very simple, and Wang Ming could understand some and guess. Wang Mingming felt that the matchmaker was knowledgeable and a figure who served the upper class.

The church bell rang, and with the bell, Wang Mingming's father took her into the church, and people's eyes turned to them.

At this time, the music sounded, and Wang Mingming glanced at the band, which was a foreigner's band. They play in the right corner of the church.

The two violin girls were twenty years old at most and very beautiful. The older ones are considered conductors.

Wang Mingming saw smiling faces and bright eyes looking at her while watching the band. It was as if they were blessing her and rejoicing for her.

She suddenly became nervous, her face was hot, and she took her father's arm and walked forward. He didn't want to lose his father, who was his backer and her umbrella.

The bridegroom ushered in with a red flower. The father stood on the red carpet of the church as the matchmaker had told him in advance. He gave her to the man.

She mechanically held the groom's arm as the matchmaker had told her. She walked slowly and slowly on the red carpet, step by step.

She felt that the road was so long, that there was no end to it. Wang Mingming knew in his heart that from this moment on, she was a girl who married and spilled water out of the door.

Her name should be preceded by her husband's surname. It's called Zhang Wang's. Or call Zhang Wang Mingming.

There was an uproar around her, and she listened carefully, all the praise for her. She should have been happy, but there was still not a smile on her face.

Although her parents boasted about the marriage, she was still not satisfied with it. She couldn't be happier.

Then she heard the bishop ask her, "Would you like to be a mother?" She was stunned. She almost said I didn't want to.

She looked back at the direction her father was sitting, but she didn't see him. In front of her eyes, her father fainted in front of the room for her, and she was anxiously hugging her father and crying.

She remembered what her grandmother said: "You helped your father to clear the hurdle that he couldn't pass."

Her ears rang with her mother's repeated admonitions: "Son, everyone has done everything you have requested." Your father has nothing more to say but nods in agreement.

"It's time for you to take care of yourself. Marriage with peace of mind. ”

There was silence in the church. Even his breathing stopped. The bishop asked, "Would you like to?" ”

Wang Mingming turned her head, she looked at the bishop and then at the man beside her, who looked worriedly at the ground in front of her.

"I do." Her very calm and very soft voice broke the silence of the church.

There was a relaxing atmosphere in the church.

The wedding was held very solemnly and very joyfully. There are also a lot of guests, and it can be seen that his family welcomes Wang Mingming's arrival very much.

Singing, the choir led the way in singing hymns she didn't understand, and sang one song after another. The first to be led was the children's choir.

The boys and girls were dressed in uniform church attire, and they looked very cute. This was followed by the youth choir, the Young Women choir and the parishion.

Many of the guests sang along, singing vigorously. Some couldn't sit still. It's not about not walking, it's not about walking, it's even more lethargic.

The singing is finally over.

Wang Mingming was led into a room by a matchmaker, and Wang Mingming saw an old lady sitting in the middle, surrounded by people.

Wang Mingming thought that this old woman with a lovely smile was probably her mother-in-law. The matchmaker really said to Wang Mingming: "This is your respected mother-in-law." ”

Wang Mingming noticed an old woman coming over with a tray. There is a cup of tea on the tray. She knew she was going to offer tea to her mother-in-law.

Wang Mingming knelt down and took the tea and said, "Mother-in-law is above, daughter-in-law offers you tea, please use tea." ”

The mother-in-law took the tea offered by Wang Mingming, she took a bite slowly, and she gave the teacup to the old mother. took a red envelope and gave it to Wang Mingming.

Wang Mingming took the red envelope and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”
