The house was full of guests and crowds, but with the arrival of Ma Chao's wedding car, it immediately became silent. Under the auspices of Chen Qun, who is familiar with etiquette, the wedding scene of the General's Mansion has already been arranged, and all relevant items and personnel are in place.

After Ma Chao and Princess Wannian entered the General's Mansion, the wedding ceremony officially began. Chen Qun was in charge of the salute, and he first walked to the incense table and stood up, and someone next to him handed three sticks of incense. Chen Qun held the incense and bowed three times, put on the incense, and then took a few steps back and sang loudly: The wedding begins!

The groom Ma Chao led the bride Liu Li and slowly entered the wedding scene, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Fu Shou, and Fu Yan The four wedding maids followed behind the two, and Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Fa Zheng were guarding on both sides.

Chen Qun, the official of the ceremony, recited: "Nong not only cuts the clouds and sideburns, but also divides the hair. Look for no one's place and make concentric knots. "The newlyweds tie their hair, and they will be united forever.

Chancellor Chen Qun sings: The gift of the same prison!

The master of ceremonies, Zhong Xuan, stepped forward and sandwiched the cooked rice, meat dishes and vegetarian dishes from the four plates into the bowls of the groom Ma Chao and the bride Liu Li, and walked in front of them. Ma Chao and Liu Li saluted Zhong Xuan, took the bowl and raised it above their heads.

Chen Qun, the salute officer, sang: "Bye! Prosper! ”

Ma Chao and Liu Li bowed to each other. Chen Qun sings: Same prison! Then Ma Chao and Liu Li ate a bowl of rice. The salute greeting: "The newlyweds are in the same prison, and they will become one family from now on." ”

Chancellor Chen Qun sings: The gift of the couple!

The master of ceremonies Zhong Miao stepped forward, the groom Ma Chao and the bride Liu Li respectively saluted Zhong Xuan, and Zhong Xuan handed the bronze jue full of wine and tied with red thread to Ma Chao and Liu Li and the four wedding maids. Chen Qun, the salute officer, sang: "Bye! Prosper! Ma Chao, Liu Li, Diao Chan and others took the bronze lord and bowed to each other, and then took a sip of wine.

Ma Chao and Liu Li took the gourd wine vessel and bowed to each other, and then took a sip of the bitter wine in the gourd wine vessel.

Praise official Chen Qun's congratulatory speech: The newcomers are united, and they will share joys and sorrows from now on. Then continue to sing: Three Worships!

The groom Ma Chao and the bride Liu Li turned to face the front, and the salute official Chen Qun sang: Worship heaven and earth!

The groom Ma Chao and the bride Liu Li and Diao Chan and others bowed three times, which can be regarded as worshipping heaven and earth. Then Ma Chao and Liu Li got up and walked in front of their parents to salute. Ma Chao's parents are both here, and Liu Li's parents are dead, and his grandmother Yongle Empress Dowager Dong serves as an elder.

Chancellor Chen Qun sings: The gift of the son-in-law! The master of ceremonies, Zhong Xuan, stepped forward to hand the groom Ma Chao a plate with brocade and bacon, and Ma Chao held it high above his head to offer it to the Empress Dowager Dong.

Empress Dowager Dong took it with a smile and said softly: "Liu Li lost his mother since he was a child, rarely had fatherly love, and was raised by his old body. ”

Ma Chao said: "Grandmother, rest assured, Chao must have been treated with the courtesy of his wife, and she will never be wronged at all!" ”

Empress Dowager Dong nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed Liu Li: "Since you have married into the Ma family, you are a member of the Ma family, in the future, you must forget the identity of the princess in the past, and marry as a husband. ”

Liu Li nodded, and said coquettishly: "The child has written it down!"

Chen Qun, the salutant officer, sang the salute: The gift of the daughter-in-law! The master of ceremonies, Zhong Xuan, stepped forward to hand the bride Liu Li a bamboo basket filled with red dates and chestnuts, Liu Li held it high above his head, dedicated to Ma Teng and his wife, and the four wedding maids joined behind.

Zou took it with a smile, and Chen Qun, the salute of the salute, sang: Worship the high hall! Ma Teng and his wife sat side by side with Empress Dowager Dong, and the groom Ma Chao and Liu Li and Diao Chan and others bowed to them three times.

After the salute was completed, Ma Chao took Liu Li's hand and led the four Diao Chan to retreat to the platform where several cases had been withdrawn. As for Diao Chan, Fu Shou and others, the identities are just marrying maids, and they are not even as good as concubines, they can admit their kinship with them, or they may not admit it, so Zhen Yi, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others do not need to be courteous at all.

Praise Officer Chen Qun sings: Husband and wife worship each other!

Ma Chao and Liu Li bowed three times to each other, and Diao Chan and others also bowed.

All the three prostrations were sung by Chen Qun, the celebrant of the salute: "Pray! Prosper! Bow! Prosper! Bow! Prosper! Flat! "Come and direct the proceeds.

Chen Qun, the salute officer, sings: The ceremony is over!

The groom, Ma Chao, got up to help the bride Liu Li, and cooperated with the four wedding maids to bow to the guests, and took the hand of the bride Liu Li and exited the wedding scene.

The celebrant said the congratulatory message: Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son. Husband and wife love and tie the knot forever!

Then there is the long-awaited wedding banquet for all guests, commonly known as eating and drinking.

Because this wedding is Ma Chao's first marriage in the true sense, there are countless people who cling to it, and the wedding is not only attended by the captains in the army, Sima and above generals and their wives, but also the high-ranking officials and their wives in the court, and the envoys sent by the princes from all over the country, there are more than 2,000 people.

Ma Chao handed over the security work to Dian Wei and Pang De, and transferred two thousand Shenwei battalions from the palace to pretend to be servants of the family and Ding to defend them. Zhao Yun and Meng Da led 10,000 troops to surround the General's Mansion and defend it outside, and all those who came to attend the wedding had to confirm their identities, and it was difficult for strangers to blend in casually. In addition, Ma Chao also deliberately transferred 200 chefs from Yecheng, and the management was extremely strict.

Sending Liu Li and the four dowry maids into the inner hall, Cai Yan, Du Xiuniang, Yang Wan and others inevitably had a bad taste in their eyes, including Zhen Mi, Fu Shou, and Fu Yan, and the three of them were also complicated, and with their identities, there should have been such a large-scale wedding ceremony, but now they can only play supporting roles, and there will be no such opportunities in the future.

As the guests entered the table, the scene immediately became lively, and the attendance of Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, and Ma Yueyan undoubtedly added a lot of brilliance to the entire wedding banquet. Ma Chao symbolized that he had a drink with the officials of the DPRK and China, and then walked to the middle and high-level generals of the army. In order to achieve great things, it is first necessary to ensure the absolute loyalty of these generals, and the present is undoubtedly a great opportunity to buy people's hearts.

As soon as he took two steps, a figure dressed in gray and masked with a white cloth suddenly jumped down from the roof, and a sword flashed with a ghostly light and stabbed straight at Ma Chao's left chest, shouting loudly: "Annihilation is dead!" (To be continued.) )
