Chapter 335: The Flower and the Moon (Part II)

- After passing layers of tests, Chen Ke finally welcomed back the two wives, and the three families who welcomed and sent their relatives converged into a long dragon and went back to the Chen family.

At this time, the team that had gone to greet the relatives first went back to the door of the man's house to block the door, and chanted loudly together:

"Xian'e is ethereal, and she will return to the cave with all her glory. Today's door is more joyful, and the flower box is not save.

The gifts are more expensive, and they are more expensive than ordinary market exchanges. One hundred thousand waist wraps should be satisfied, and three thousand and a half somo are lightly thrown. ”

This is to ask the groom for money, and the Chen brothers chanted the "Answering the Door Poem" together:

"A gentleman has never cherished gold, and this intention has become deeper. I want to talk about my relatives, and I don't need to worry about introducing my heart for a long time.

The caves are all within easy reach, and there is nothing to cover in front of the door. It is ashamed that the market can be thrown, and it is difficult to retreat without a cause. ”

Of course, red envelopes should not be given less.

After the person blocking the door got out of the way, Lan Pei came out with a bowl of rice, and walked to the first sedan chair first, Banniang opened the sedan curtain for the branch woman, and said with a smile: "Little lady, open your mouth to take the meal." ”

Su Xiaomei lifted her hijab, glanced at each other with a strange expression with her sister and concubine, and then was ashamedly fed a mouthful of food by the branch mother, which means that at the beginning of the newcomer's entry, they eat the food of the husband's family and become a husband's family.

Lan Pei didn't change the bowl, and walked to the back sedan chair, Banniang opened the sedan curtain and said, "Little lady, open your mouth to take the meal." ”

Liu Yue'e lifted her hijab, grimaced at Lan Pei, and took a bite.

At this time, the red felt carpet had been laid on the ground, and four beautiful little widows stepped forward to help the two ladies get off the sedan chair respectively, and more widows took the flower bucket full of grains, bean money, and colored fruits, and threw them to the door, and the children competed to pick them up.

This is to suppress the 'three evils' of green sheep, black chicken, and green cow. At this time, the custom believes that the three evils are at the door, and the newcomer cannot enter, and if he enters, he will damage the elder and have no children. Scatter grain beans, and the three evils will avoid themselves, and the newcomer can enter the door.

With the support of the maids, the two brides got off the sedan chair. Walking on a felt mat. The first step over the saddle placed on the ground is called 'peace'.

Chen Ke waited behind the saddle, wearing red and green all over his body, holding a wooden tube made of acacia trees, holding concentric knots, and standing facing the two ladies. This concentric knot is made of a colored silk from each of the three families, and the ends are longer than those used in ordinary weddings.

The maid gave the ends of the concentric knot to the two brides, and quietly stepped aside. Chen Ke led them into the courtyard gate. Straight into the nave.

Entering the middle hall, Wang held a gold scale and picked out the hijab for the two sisters-in-law, and the bride showed her face. I saw a light body; Pink makeup, a tall and graceful, graceful demeanor; A sideburn with a black bun, the light can be seen, a bright tooth and red lips, and starry eyes and faint eyebrows. The end is Chunlan Qiuju, each winning is good at the field, and they are all big beauties with one top.

A list of guests seated in the nave. It's almost the first three rows of the Great Dynasty. Fu Xianggong, Han Xianggong, Zeng Xianggong, and two Wang Xianggong. A number of princes such as the king of Beihai County and Uncle Cao Guo were almost all present, which shows the weight of this wedding.

"This kid is not shallow." Mei Yaochen twisted his beard and said with a smile, he was sick, but he still insisted on coming to the wedding.

"Of course." Ouyang Xiu twisted his beard and smiled: "Don't look at whose students either?" ”

"This drunkard is too boastful," Bao Zheng shook his head and smiled: "But you old fool." The smartest thing I did in my life was to accept this disciple. ”

The adults nodded their heads when they heard this, and they were so right.

The husband and wife first went to the offering table in the courtyard and worshiped heaven and earth, and then entered the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. Only then did he turn back to the middle hall.

At this time, Li Xian appeared in the courtyard. sang: "The emperor and queen drove to the ......" The time was just right.

Everyone hurried to the courtyard to wait, only to see the official Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao, only a few eunuchs followed, and they arrived lightly.

"Respectfully Your Majesty, welcome the Empress!" All the courtiers saluted together.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping." Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "The widow and the queen are late, sorry, sorry." ”

The eunuchs sent the gifts from the emperor and queen in, and Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao sat in the hall. Candles, incense, firecrackers, and music.

At the end of the music, the master of ceremonies chanted: "The cigarettes are ethereal, the lights and candles are brilliant, and the bride and groom are on the flower hall!" ”

The newlyweds are in place, and chant with the master of ceremonies 'one worship to the king, two worship the high hall, and the husband and wife worship each other', and salute in order. The guests were full of interest, and they had long wanted to see how they worshipped the Fa.

Who knew that people came to stand on three legs, and their heads were bowed deeply, which looked very harmonious.

After saluting the guests, the groom sends the bride into the cave room for the second half of the wedding, and the outer compartment is a feast for the guests.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three of them sat on the marriage bed in the new house, and the ladies threw the gold, silver, money, and fruits in the room with a plate, which was called 'spreading the tent'. It is different from the 'sprinkling of grain beans' and the three evils, which is a blessing for a child, a long life, wealth and auspiciousness. Just listen to them sing as they please:

"Sprinkle the east of the tent, the curtain is deep and the candle shadow is red, the good green onion cage is long, and the painting hall is drunk with spring breeze every day.

Sprinkle the west of the tent, the four corners of the brocade tassel are low, the dragon and tiger list is the first to win the bid, and the mandarin duck spectrum is stable and amphibious.

Sprinkle the south of the tent, Qin Se and Ming music and delay, Biyue reunion people are like jade, and the double embroidered belt is Pei Yinan.

Sprinkle the north of the tent, add a new joyful eyebrow stopper, hibiscus and the original double, Guanghan fairy toad palace guest.

In the sprinkled tent, a pair of jade hibiscus in the clouds, the brocade is washed on the green of Xiangbo, and the embroidered pillow is amber red.

After sprinkling the tent, all relatives and friends are invited out, the husband and wife have a family, and the children and grandchildren are extremely happy. ”

After the tent was scattered, the maidens presented gold scissors, and each of them hinged a lock of hair and tied it together. This is a 'bun', which means a token of life and death, weal and bene, and growing old together.

Then the bridesmaid presented four purple gold bowls, the bottom of which was tied with concentric knots of red and green silk threads - this is the newlyweds' ceremony, that is, they both drink. '卺' is a gourd divided into two scoops, but the Song people also used wine glasses instead. Thankfully, it wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

The jade girl's red lips drank for a few minutes, and there were slight bad marks on the edge of the lamp.

Xianlang deliberately left the residual wine, and he couldn't bear to swallow it for the sake of the fragrant fragrance. ”

The bridesmaids sang poems in unison, urging the newlyweds to drink a glass of wine in pairs. In cheers. Chen Ke first threw the wine bowl under the bed with the little sister, the little sister's one jumped up after the landing, and Chen Ke was silent after the landing. The crowd rejoiced and said, "Good sign! ”

Chen Ke threw it with Yue'e again, and this time the two masters played with flowers, and actually taught the two bowls to buckle together steadily, as if they were one, which attracted an amazement.

Wait for the cheers to subside. Two rows of widows came up with trays, and the so-called 'Ten Objects of Love' were on the plates.

The widow in the front row first presented the first love object, the bracelet, while chanting: "Why is it so broad? Double jade bracelet around the wrist. On the one hand, put on the two ladies, on the wrist of the little sister, is a pair of jade jade bracelets, emerald green, without a little variegation. On Yue'e's wrist is a pair of agate bracelets, which are fiery red all over and have no variegation.

After putting on the jade bracelet, the two widows withdrew. The second pair of widows stepped forward, presented the tray, and chanted, "Why do you make a fist? The arms are double-jumped. ”

The bridesmaids took the second object from the plate, the arm and churn, and sang, "Why do you make a fist? The arms are double-jumped. ”

Chuan belongs to the class of bracelets. The bracelet worn on the wrist is called the bracelet, and the bracelet worn on the arm is called the bracelet. Compared with the simple style of the bracelet, the arm is much more beautiful.

What Chen Ke gave to the little sister is a pair of jade arm hairpins, which can be turned at both ends, which can be bent and stretched, and the circle of the order is seamless. This one alone cost two thousand taels of silver.

What he gave to Yue'e was a pair of gold jumps, spring-shaped, coiled into nine circles, and the two ends were braided into rings with gold and silver wires, which were used to adjust the tightness, which did not hinder the movement at all, and was also very valuable.

When it was the turn of the third object, the ring, the maiden who presented the tray chanted, "Why is it so kind? Approximately a pair of silver. "In ancient times, unmarried women did not wear rings, because rings are tokens of love, so this smallest token is the heaviest in a woman's heart.

The ring needs to be brought by the groom to the bride, because the ring is the most important, so the women present sing in chorus to show their advice and blessings: "Twist the ring and be lovesick, see the ring and remember each other." May you always keep playing, and there is no end to the cycle. ”

Chen Ke took off a silver ring, and the eyes of all the women lit up at once, they were all people who knew the goods, and found that it was not a silver ring, the luster was more gorgeous, and it looked extremely noble. It is also set with sparkling transparent gemstones. They had never seen such a white and sparkling gemstone ring. The ladies sighed in their hearts, compared with this kind of ring, the gold rings inlaid with gems at home are simply vulgar. So I secretly made up my mind and went back to the bride to ask, where could I buy such a ring?

You can't buy it anywhere, but it's a diamond-encrusted white gold ring! Something that will not appear in the world until 600 years later. Only Chen Ke can get white gold from Egypt and diamonds from India, and then ask the best jewelry craftsmen in Bianjing to make them carefully.

He picked up his little sister's soft and boneless white hand, met her affectionate vein, gently put the ring on her slender ring finger, and then kissed her affectionately on the back of her hand, causing a crowd of women to scream and cheer.

Chen Ke picked up another platinum diamond ring and held a small hand like Yue'e mutton fat and white jade...... In the past six months, she has been a housegirl at home, and the ivory skin of Sister Yue'e has also faded. After putting the ring on Yue'e, Chen Ke slowly raised her little hand, and just when everyone thought he would repeat it, he pulled her in front of him and kissed Yue'e deeply......

The women were dumbfounded at first, and then burst into tenfold cheers, startling the people eating the banquet in the front yard to look at each other, not knowing what was happening? ――

Partition -

I forgot that today is a small year, this firecracker, crackling, making the little monk angry, has been crying. Alas, it turned out that I have only finished writing a chapter until now, so I will not say more, and step up the code words......
