Chapter 265: The Day of the Wedding (Part II)
As Wang Xu returned from welcoming his relatives and appeared in front of everyone again, cheers suddenly sounded. Many of the guests and maids and servants were helping to drum up the momentum.
In fact, Wang Xu seems to be calm, but he is very apprehensive in his heart. The first time I experienced this kind of thing, I felt a little weird in my heart. was almost dizzy and was pulled into the hall by Zhou Zhi, and before he woke up, Xu Shu also came accompanied by Zhang Yao.
Today's Xu Shu is extremely moving, she doesn't dress up much on weekdays, except for changing various styles of clothes, she rarely deliberately cleans up. But now with a little powder, coupled with the well-cut and beautifully decorated red skirt, it is really like a fairy in the earth.
Especially at this moment, Xu Shu is still abnormal, rarely stepping on the lady's steps, looking particularly gentle and noble. Coupled with Xu Shu's heroism over the years, as well as the unpretentious shame, her beauty was immediately shocked on the spot, and even Wang Xu lost his mind for a moment.
After a while, the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at Zhou Zhi, and asked in a low voice: "Zhou Zhi, my wife didn't dress up much before, why did she change her clothes after such a while, and she dressed up again?" And why was the red hijab not covered from beginning to end? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi also slowly lowered his head and whispered softly: "Hehe! Boss, when you didn't know anything? If it weren't for everyone asking me to be this best man, I wouldn't know. Let me tell you, there is no such thing as a red hijab now, and the bride will have to sit down and drink a glass of wine later! ”
Saying that, Zhou Zhi looked at Xu Shu, then lowered his head again and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law didn't dress up before, because she was the only one who couldn't show joy before leaving home, but should be sad, so as to thank her parents for their kindness, and she couldn't celebrate until she left the house." So, of course, the only way to get dressed up is to come and get dressed up! ”
"Oh! I see. Wang Xu suddenly nodded.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhi paused, but it was a thief who smiled: "Hehe! Boss, I suddenly found that my sister-in-law is not ordinary beauty when she dresses up, and you bury your sister-in-law on weekdays. ”
"Get out! Where do I bury her, it's because she doesn't like to dress up, what can I do? Wang Xu suddenly gave him an angry look.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi just opened his mouth, but he didn't have time to speak, because Xu Shu had already walked to the side accompanied by Zhang Yao.
Wang Xu wanted to look at Xu Shu and communicate first, but Xu Shu was extremely shy today. Although they have been together for so many years, they have long been heart-to-heart and know the roots, but at this moment, they suddenly avoided it and did not dare to face him.
After blinking in dismay, Wang Xu understood her mood at the moment, and smiled no longer reluctantly.
As the two stood side by side in front of the elders, Tian Feng also began to read the poems of blessing. This poem was written by Tian Feng and Guo Jia together, although it cannot be said to be a hand-me-down, but it is enough to ascend to this elegant hall.
After smiling and listening for a long time, Tian Feng finally finished reading and slowly closed the silk in his hand. Joyful eyes looked at Wang Xu and Xu Shu: "The bride and groom kneel and bow to heaven and earth." ”
This Wang Xu knew that when he knelt down with Xu Shu and kowtowed to the open space outside the hall.
"Worship your parents!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
With Tian Feng's words, Wang Xu and Xu Shu knelt down and bowed down one by one, but when the husband and wife worshipped each other, they didn't grasp the distance, and the best men and bridesmaids were all half-hanging, so they couldn't remind them quietly. As a result, the heads of the two "bang!" had to bump into each other, and Xu Shu involuntarily let out a painful cry.
However, Wang Xu has always been highly nervous in his heart, so at the moment of meeting, he couldn't hold back the sound of pain from the conditioned reflex. It's just that he was very embarrassed to face the laughter of the guests, and although he was thick-skinned, he was also a little red.
Fortunately, Tian Feng, the master of ceremonies, broke the siege in time and alleviated the embarrassment for the two. "Perform the Wo Ceremony, and the praiser shall be seated, and the bride and groom shall be washed."
As the words spoke, although the guests were still laughing, they all began to slowly walk out of the hall, and the seated VIPs also got up one after another and walked out slowly. And under the guidance of the maids and servants, they sat down on the round table in the courtyard.
The reason why there are round tables and stools is mainly because there are too many people, if you follow the habit at this time, each person has a table, or three or two people have a table, then there are not so many places to place in this courtyard. Therefore, the family used the new products of Xu Shu's workshop, round tables and stools. Although many of the guests had never seen such a banquet before, they were quite new and willing to try it for the first time.
As everyone slowly entered the table, Xiaoyu and a few other maids also quickly brought a table and put it in the front, Wang Yan and Xu Rui looked at each other and smiled, and slowly knelt behind the table.
At this time, Wang Xu and Xu Shucai, who did not know why, were led out by Zhou Zhi and Zhang Yao and knelt on both sides of the table. And Zhou Zhi and Zhang Yao each carried a basin of water and asked Wang Xu and Xu Shu to wash their hands. After washing, I sprinkled some water on the two of them, which means that the body has also been washed.
At this time, Tian Fengcai, who was closely following, laughed loudly: "The bride and groom perform the same prison ceremony, wine and meat, which means that life and death depend on each other." ”
Following his words, in the eyes of countless guests, Wang Yancai slowly picked up the wine jug on the wine table and filled the bronze wine bottles of Wang Xu and Xu Shu respectively. At the same time, Xu Sheng also happily walked over with a whole chicken and put it on the table.
Knowing that Wang Xu and Xu Shu didn't understand, Wang Yan glanced at the two of them, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Xu'er, Shu'er, you drink this wine together, and eat this meat together, which means that you will depend on each other in the future, and don't turn your back." ”
"No!" The two of them were not stupid, they immediately understood, looked at each other and smiled, then slowly picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.
It's just that when he eats meat, Wang Xu is very embarrassed, there are no dishes and chopsticks, and there is a steamed whole chicken on a large plate in the middle, how to eat it?
Seeing this, Tian Feng immediately walked up to Zhang Yao and said something in his ear. Immediately, I saw her smiling and walking to the table, reaching out and pulling out a chicken leg, and handing it to Wang Xu: "Please enjoy!" ”
Wang Xu's eyes quickly glanced at Tian Feng, and he had already guessed what to do, so he immediately made a look of being ready a long time ago, and took a small bite. Fortunately, there was no miscalculation, and as he finished chewing, Zhang Yao handed the chicken leg to Xu Shu instead. "Enjoy, Madame!"
Xu Shu glanced at Wang Xu shyly, and also took a light bite.
In an instant, the entire courtyard remembered the deafening applause, and many guests applauded loudly and blessed the two.
Tian Feng also often breathed a sigh of relief, his emcee was really not ordinary nervous today, and he was ready to make up for Wang Xu's leaks at any time. At this moment, after most of the etiquette was completed, he realized that he was even more nervous than Wang Xu, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. But the wedding still had to go on, and then he said: "Finally, perform the same prison ceremony, exchange wine bottles and drink, and cut your hair into your bag." ”
This Tian Feng spoke in detail, and both of them instantly understood, when they picked up their respective wine bottles and handed them to each other respectfully. Then slowly pour it for each other, touch it lightly, and drink it all.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhi and Zhang Yao walked up separately, still holding a pair of scissors in their hands.
At this moment, Zhou Zhi did not have the slightest hippie smile, and in the eyes of everyone, he gently pulled up a strand of long hair from Wang Xu's sideburns, and cut it off. At the same time, Xu Shu's side also cut it, and the two took their hair to the middle, and after Wang Xu and Xu Shu saw it, they took the bag sent by the maid and put their heads into it.
At this moment, Wang Xu obviously heard that Wang Yan and Xu Rui were often relieved. And Tian Feng's joyful voice also sounded at the right time. "The bride and groom, send to the cave room!"
Hearing this, Wang Xu's heart also fell instantly, and it was finally over, this marriage is really not an ordinary trouble!
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Wang Xu looked at Xu Shu, who was shy, and slowly got up, took her hand, and walked towards the courtyard where he lived. Zhou Zhi and Zhang Yao were followed on both sides, and there were a large number of maids behind them. And in the courtyard, the cheers of everyone also sounded again, and they continued for a long time......
Quickly returning to his room, Wang Xu suddenly spread out on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief. "Wife, how is this wedding today? Satisfied? Why are you so shy to look at? ”
"Not bad!" Xu Shu looked at Wang Xu with a flushed face, still looking a little embarrassed. "It's the first time people get married, so many people must be embarrassed to watch!"
"Huh! Anyway, it's good that you're happy. Don't be busy for so long, the guests are happy, but you are uncomfortable. Wang Xu smiled slightly.
"No! Although I was a little tired, I was still very happy. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhi, who had not yet entered the house, suddenly interjected: "Since sister-in-law likes it, then I will hold it a few more times in the future, and you can hold a wedding if you have nothing to do!" ”
"Get out! You kid, don't you beg to be beaten! Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly jumped up and glared at Zhou Zhi angrily.
"Huh! Just kidding, so what's the matter! Zhou Zhi smiled wryly, but instead asked, "By the way, boss, are you going to inherit the lineage with your sister-in-law, or go out to accompany the guests?" If you want a cave room, I'll go first, I'm afraid you'll gouge out my eyes. ”
"You bastard boy, why are you so unscrupulous." Hearing Zhou Zhi's words, Wang Xu immediately scolded with tears and laughter. Zhang Yao also glared at him fiercely, but Xu Shu was not good at scolding today, so she turned her head away with a blushing face, as if she hadn't heard.
However, Wang Xu immediately smiled and said: "Wife, then I will temporarily wronged you alone, and you have to go out to accompany you outside." ”
"It's okay, you go!" Xu Shu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Yao took over with a smile and said, "I'll stay with her!" ”
"What's so embarrassing!"
"What does it matter, it's not good for me to go out." Zhang Yao immediately replied understandingly.
"That's it, the master is really, and he hasn't given his wife a ...... until now" Zhou Zhigang took the words, and the name of the molecule was still in his mouth, so he was blocked back by Zhang Yao's scary expression, shrunk his head, and didn't dare to make any more trouble.
"Hmmm! Then bother you. After thinking about it, Wang Xu also nodded.
"It's okay, you can go with confidence! I'm sure I'll take good care of the bride for you, and I'm not hungry! Zhang Yao shook her head and smiled.
"Huh!" Smiling, Wang Xu didn't say anything more, and walked out.
By the time Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi rushed back to the compound, it was already very lively. The maids and servants kept serving the food, and the guests toasted each other in celebration. Fortunately, the maids and servants of Wang Yan, Wang Hao and Wang Qian's three mansions all came to help, otherwise, with those maids in Wang Xu's mansion, it would not be enough at all.
As Wang Xu appeared, everyone immediately raised their glasses to celebrate, and the voices of blessings and praises were endless.
kept bowing to the guests all the way, but it took a long time to reach the center of the banquet, because in addition to the family elders, there were Liu Biao and other VIPs sitting here.
As soon as he arrived, Sun Jian had already picked up the wine bottle and laughed at Wang Xu: "General Wang, come here, today is your Excellency's big day, and I will definitely accompany you to have a drink." ”
"Huh! Wentai, today's General Wang's wedding, if you get him drunk, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Wang, who is famous in Jingnan, will be angry? As soon as Sun Jian's words fell, Liu Du had already opened his mouth and laughed.
"Hahaha! There is a point in that. Liu Du's words immediately amused everyone present and burst out laughing.
Hearing this, Wang Xu's face was thick enough, as if he hadn't heard it, he walked over and said, "You can come to congratulate you today, how can you not let everyone have a good drink?" Wang Xu is sacrificing his life, and he must accompany all gentlemen. ”
"Haha! General Wang is really bold, come, let's have a drink first. Sun Jian suddenly laughed.
"Good! I'll do it first to respect ......"
With Wang Xu entering the table, the atmosphere of the wedding banquet became more enthusiastic. Everyone doesn't talk about business, only about Fengyue, which can be regarded as giving enough face. As for the toast, Wang Xu didn't dare to go, even if it was a table and a glass, he couldn't afford it. In the end, I just said a few words of thanks to everyone, and then drank three glasses myself.
Of course, it is not enough for so many people to greet Wang Xu and his family. The civil and military generals who were close to them also became masters one after another, entertaining as retainers. It was really hard for literati to deal with literati, and military generals to deal with warriors, and to go around in the courtyard.
In the end, even Dian Wei and Gao Shun were rarely drunk, and Guo Jia, Liu Xian, Gong Qiu Cheng, and Huan Jie, who had a bad amount of alcohol, fell on the wine table "heroically", and finally had to withdraw from the table in advance and were supported by the maids to rest.
Only Tian Feng escaped, and he didn't drink a drop of alcohol. Because someone must accompany Wang Xu to prevent him from saying things that he shouldn't say when he is drunk. The candidate is to draw lots among Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and Huanjie, and Tian Feng's luck is obviously better.
Wang Xu was as initially expected, he couldn't dodge, although he tried his best to restrain himself, but in the end he was still drunk. Even arranging for guests from afar to rest in the post house, Wang Yan and Wang Hao did it for them, and they were carried back to the room by Zhang Jing, who was also drunk.
Of course, it was not because Zhang Jing drank well, but because he was drunk but insisted that he was not drunk, and then left directly behind Wang Xu's back regardless of it. Not to mention four or five heels planted on the road, the two actually supported each other to walk, and in the helpless wry smile of the maids, they stumbled around for a long time before they arrived.
Moreover, after walking to the door, Zhang Jing fell to the ground and fell asleep directly, but was carried out by the maids.
When the confused Wang Xu finally returned to his room, his mother, two aunts, and Xu's mother were all there, and when they saw her drunk like that, they were immediately reprimanded.
After the few characters they couldn't afford to provoke left, Wang Xu had no strength at all, and fell asleep on the bed. It was Xu Shu and Xiaoyu who brought him a basin, washed his feet, washed his hands, and undressed. It's a pity that such a good beautiful day, the cave room spent candle nights, and it was drunk like this......
