Chapter Forty-Eight: Life's Major Events--- Marriage (II)

—— In the end, Yang Xi regained his composure, put on a proud posture, strode forward after looking at the onlookers for a while, walked to Guo Xin's side, took the hand of the beauty who was about to become his legal wife, and said very gently: "Qi Niang, Xin'er, I'm here to pick you up, from today on, you will be my wife, come with me, let's go home together!"

At the moment of holding Guo Xin's hand, Yang Xi felt that the other party's hand was trembling slightly. After smiling at the beauty, Yang Xi clenched Guo Xin's hand and encouraged Guo Xin, who was stage frightened, with his own strength.

"Shiro, you're finally here to marry me, I'm very happy......" Guo Xin, who was held by Yang Xi, seemed to have found a little support, held Yang Xi's hand tightly, looked up twice, and showed a sweet smile, "Shiro, husband, from today onwards, I will be your wife, you have to take care of me!"

"Of course, you are my wife, and I will love you for the rest of my life!" Yang Xi returned a gentle smile, took Guo Xin's hand, and asked Guo Xin to hold his arm. After Guo Xin did as he said, he pulled Guo Xin to turn around and faced a large group of people watching the excitement. At this time, the two were no longer cramped and restrained, and their faces were full of happy smiles.

Seeing Guo Xin and Yang Xi snuggling up to each other, Gao Wei and Pang Wei took the lead in screaming loudly and whistling, and the others also shouted to express their blessings to the newcomer.

As a group of relatives and friends, Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi had already thought of a poem, and immediately ordered it to take paper and ink and write it quickly.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Gao Shi's reputation has been known by many people, their poems are widely circulated, now said to be written in public, many people are curious, have gone to watch, when the three poems are written, they will be circulated immediately, the momentum of the three of them is a bit noisy, which makes the shy Guo Xin feel a little less pressure.

In the commotion, Yang Xi and Guo Xin held each other, and rushed to the front hall surrounded by everyone.

When he came to the front hall, there was still a cumbersome etiquette, Yang Xi pulled Guo Xin to kneel in front of Guo Ziyi and the Wang family, as well as Guo Ziyi's other concubines, the Li family, the Zhang family, the Han family, and the Zhao family, as a gift to his daughter and son-in-law.

Then the eldest of the Guo family's relatives, that is, today's officiant, when Yang Xi and Guo Xin knelt down, said a lot of words, almost all of them praised Yang Xi for how good, how virtuous Guo Xin was, and how the two were so compatible, it was just a pair made in heaven and the like, which made Yang Xi feel ashamed when he heard it. The two of them have become a fairy couple like a golden boy and a jade girl.

The old man who was married was very passionate, as if he was getting married himself, and he spoke very slowly, and every word was read very emotionally, poor Yang Xi knelt for most of the day, and his legs were numb. followed by kowtowing, anyway, when the person who was married said kowtow, Yang Xi and Guo Xin bowed mechanically, kneeling dizzily, wanting to cry without tears. finally got everything done well, Yang Xi felt a feeling of exhaustion, this marriage was really not done by people, and he would not get married next time if he was killed.

After the ceremony, Guo Ziyi and Wang stood up and walked in front of Yang Xi and Guo Xin, Guo Ziyi told Yang Xi to take care of Guo Xin and not let her be wronged. The Li family, the Zhang family, the Han family, and the Zhao family also came around, and they all behaved similarly to the Wang family, wiping their eyes and looking very reluctant.

Guo's relatives also gathered around Yang Xi one after another, saying something that they hoped that their husband and wife would be harmonious, affectionate, and take care of each other, and that Yang Xi would take care of Guo Xin, and that they would have a noble son as soon as possible. All Yang Xi could do was to promise vigorously and smile all over his face.

When the time to leave the mansion came, under the urging of the two prime ministers, Yang Xi took Guo Xin and left the Guo mansion.

A Guo clan elder led Guo Xin out of the house, and a group of people behind him held candles, and when they arrived in front of the float, Guo Xin's biological mother Wang set up clothes for her daughter with red eyes and helped her to get on the float. When Guo Xin was about to get on the float, the people who followed Yang Xi to greet the relatives lit the candles, and the people of the Guo Mansion immediately extinguished the candles, which was an indispensable etiquette when welcoming the relatives.

Guo Xin, who shed tears vigorously, sat in the car and said goodbye to his family with tears in his eyes, Wang continued to wipe his eyes, took Guo Xin's hand, and kept telling her to honor her father-in-law and mother-in-law, get along with her husband, etc., many words have been said several times, and Yang Xi, who was standing on the side, felt that he could memorize it.

After Guo Xin and Wang cried for a while, they finally separated, and the time for the float to leave the house had arrived.

Yang Xi and the two ministers Gao Wei and Pang Wei rode in front of the float, and Guo Xin's eight brothers Guo Yao, Guo Yang, Guo Xi, Guo Hao, Guo Yu, Guo Shu, and Guo Ying all went out, and they accompanied Guo Xin to Yang Xi's mansion as a group of relatives and friends to give the wedding. The eight brothers have all been in the army, their aura is quite strong, and they are very majestic in a row, and even suppress the momentum of Yang Xi's side.

Looking at the eight brothers who followed him with no expression, Yang Xi couldn't cry or laugh again. My wife has many brothers and sisters, and the pressure is not small!

If there is any conflict between him and Guo Xin in the future, Guo Xin is wronged, and the eight brothers come to the door together to stand up for Guo Xin, the momentum must be very scary, he is likely to be beaten by the group, and he will not be able to find a place to cry when he comes. "It's unladylike to meet people, how can a family have so many brothers and sisters in a vicious feudal society?" This is the emotion in Yang Xi's heart when he is complaining.

The group of people went to the Ningguo County Mansion in a mighty way, and there were constantly Guo Fu's family members or relatives stopping the car on the road. This is an indication that the mother's family is reluctant to marry their daughter and deliberately stops the car to delay the time, that is, the car is blocked, and it is also an indispensable procedure when getting married. The greater the number of relatives in the barrier, the more it shows that the mother's family is reluctant to marry this daughter, and all the two ministers and Yang Xi can do is to distribute gifts to send these people.

After sweating again, the float finally arrived at Yang Xi's Ningguo County Mansion.

The float stopped at the gate of the house, and the bride was helped out of the car by several women on Yang Xi's side.

After Guo Xin got off the float, his feet could not step on the ground, but fell on the felt mattress. When Guo Xin walked to the second felt mattress, the family of the Yang Mansion immediately passed the first felt carpet to the last felt mattress, and so on, forming a colorful road until entering the main hall of the house, which symbolizes the succession of the family and the bright future.

The bride welcomed them into the house, and there was still a lot of etiquette waiting for them.

Yang Guozhong and Pei Rou were already seated in the main hall, and the Yang clansmen were also sitting at the top, Yang Xi took Guo Xin's hand and bowed to the smiling Yang Guozhong and Pei Rou, and the Yang clansmen.

Guo Xin presented preserved tea and other things to Yang Guozhong and Pei Rou, and called his father-in-law and mother-in-law to complete his identity transformation. Yang Guozhong and Pei Rou agreed, and took the preserved tea and other things presented by Guo Xin, indicating that they initially accepted Guo Xin's daughter-in-law.

Then there are many rituals such as husband and wife worshipping each other.

After a big salute, Yang Xi, who had just come to his senses, was a little confused again, and the crumbling feeling came up again, but finally surrounded by a large group of people, he entered the cave room.

The furnishings in the cave room were all arranged by people sent by the Guo Mansion, which was also the custom of weddings in the Tang Dynasty. The luxury of the cave house is also related to the status of both parties, and the importance that the woman attaches to the married daughter, that is, the status of the married daughter in the family.

Yang Mansion and Guo Mansion are not ordinary people, and Guo Mansion naturally will not have any sloppiness when preparing the furnishings of the cave house.

The furnishings in the cave room are all red and new, reflecting the flaming red candles, adding to the festive atmosphere.

There are many etiquettes when entering the cave room.

This is also the last few procedures on the wedding day, after these procedures are over, the bride and groom can round the cave house.

The eight brothers of the Guo family, who married Guo Xin, have been pulled into the front hall by Yang Xi's three elder brothers and some clan brothers, and they have been drinking three or four lively. In the Tang Dynasty, it was not popular to drink wedding wine, but the people who married still had to entertain them, and many times, the banquet was often a place for the man and the woman's relatives to compete. Whoever drinks down, which side loses in momentum, so at the banquet of the reception, the relatives of both men and women will drink vigorously. The Guo family is a brother, and it is destined not to be so easy to deal with.

However, this is not something that Yang Xi is interested in, and his eldest brother Yang Xuan will hold it.

If he loses, it will be Yang Xuan's incompetence and loss of the Yang family's face.

At this time, Yang Xi has a feeling of bitterness, the dawn of victory is just around the corner, as long as he persists for a while and survives the last few hurdles, he can have a round house with a beautiful woman and become a real husband and wife.

Surrounded by the two maids, Ping'er, Xiaoyu, and other relatives, Yang Xi and Guo Xin, who entered the cave room, sat opposite each other.

Ping'er and Xiaoyu each cut off a little hair of Yang Xi and Guo Xin, and then tied and wound the two locks of hair into a "bun" and handed it to Guo Xin for preservation, as a token of the two eternal union, called knotted hair, and Guo Xin became Yang Xi's wife. At this moment, Yang Xi suddenly understood that the "hair couple" turned out to be like this, it was really to knot the hair together.

He's got a lot of knowledge.

Although the process of getting married is complicated, it has also made him grow a lot of knowledge, which he will not have the opportunity to learn in later generations, and may not even know about history teachers.

After the "tie-off" procedure, it is followed by the same prison and the union.

The so-called "same prison" refers to the newlyweds eating the meat of the same animal. Then he drank the wine, which later became the cup of wine, symbolizing the marriage that unites the two people.

After the end of the "same prison", only the last procedure is left - "Yu Yu Yu set up a loop", that is, the bed closing ceremony.

Most of the relatives and relatives withdrew from the cave room, and even Gao Wei and Pang Wei, the two concubines, also left the cave room and went to drink with Yang Xi after removing some of their clothes.

Ping'er carefully removed all the clothes on Yang Xi's face, untied the red wedding dress for him, and found a set of clothes to change tomorrow. Xiaoyu helped Guo Xin remove his heavy makeup, take off his dress, except for the complicated decorations on his head, place the ornaments and clothes, and then go out with a candle with Heping'er, and close the door of the cave room.

In the cave room, only Yang Xi and Guo Xin are left! (To be continued.) )
