572 Liu Yuan's Wedding (2)
"Old Ancestor, why are you here?" Seeing that Mrs. Cui was coming, Cui Mengyao, who was wearing a red wedding dress, hurriedly went to help her sit down.
Mrs. Cui gently pinched Cui Mengyao's little face and said, "Come and see my precious granddaughter, well, it's really beautiful, Liu Yuan's kid is really blessed, he can marry such a beautiful bride." ”
Cui Mengyao was born beautiful, bright and moving, wearing a red wedding dress, wearing a light dress, wearing jewelry and jewelry, it is even more bright and moving, God seems to have given her all the beautiful things: born in a famous family, superior environment, born beautiful, knowledgeable and courteous, not only beautiful, wisdom and noble representatives, but also a collection of thousands of favors, not only the appearance is very similar to Mrs. Cui, but also the experience is similar, when she was young, Mrs. Cui was also an outstanding beauty in the clan, in Cui Mengyao, Mrs. Cui seemed to see the shadow of her youth.
This is also the reason why she has always preferred Cui Mengyao.
"Old Ancestor"
Cui Mengyao's face turned red, she buried her head in the old lady's arms, and she was coquettish, and the old lady Cui hugged her and kept calling her good granddaughter, looking infinitely warm.
And Liu Yuan, who was next to Cui's mansion, was annoyed to death by the people who helped him make up and dress up.
"Uncle, don't move, you'll be fine soon."
"Uncle, didn't you do a good job the day before yesterday? Why did you suddenly forget it today? Remember that the cup was placed diagonally upward. ”
"This step is not quite right, the pace is big, it looks frivolous, the pace is small, and it seems that the strength is not enough."
"Uncle, why are you so nervous, sweat has made up all the makeup, come on, hurry up and make up for your uncle."
Several old wives sent by the Cui clan to teach Liu Yuanli were gossiping in Liu Yuan's ears. Liu Yuan was under their "bombardment", sat down for a while and asked them to apply grease and powder on their faces, and then practiced the action of etiquette for a while, and his head was big, as if he hadn't been so troublesome last time, so in order to take care of the decency of Qinghe Cui's family, he couldn't be rude in front of a guest, so in terms of etiquette, he had to do it enough, and he began to toss as soon as it was dawn. Liu Yuan was a little annoyed.
Famous families have a very strict set of etiquette, such as how to speak, how to please, how to walk, etc., there are strict rules, Liu Yuan did okay two days ago, but I didn't expect to get up soon today. These old women asked Liu Yuan to do more than once, after a good night's sleep. It seems that I have forgotten a lot. I couldn't satisfy those old women, so those old women were like a big enemy, and without saying a word, they made up for it on the spot, if it weren't for the beauty to return, Liu Yuan wanted to run away.
There are so many rules.
"How. Xiaoyuan, why do you look unhappy, today is your wedding day. Cui Xiong, who was sent by Cui Jing to assist Liu Yuan, teased.
This is knowingly asked, Liu Yuan glanced at him. Said helplessly: "Hey, you have seen it all, that, uncle, you used to get married, was it also so troublesome?" ”
"Hehe, many people want to be so grand and can't get it, different people, there are different specifications, Meng Yao is the only daughter of the third uncle, and she likes the old lady, so she will prepare for it with the highest standard, when you not only have to toast to the elders one by one, but also enter the ancestral hall of the Cui family to worship the ancestors of the Cui family, there are still many rules, Cui is not talented, his status in the clan is average, and the fashion of marriage has not soared, so he just worships heaven and earth, his parents, set up a few tables to invite his in-laws, and then burn a few pillars of incense in the ancestral hall, even if it is the end of the ceremony."
This Cui Xiong is from a partial house, his status is not high, when he did the history of Yangzhou Thorn, he was still a small role, it is conceivable that when he has not yet entered the office, how low his status is, the rich monk from the poor temple is a famous family, and there are also a few poor relatives, Liu Yuan no longer asked, but said curiously: "Isn't the little nephew still having a lot to do today?" ”
"As for how many things, I don't know" Cui Xiong said a little gloatingly: "Let's not talk about other common rituals, just for toasting, there are more than 100 Cui elders you need to toast." ”
Liu Yuan's head was big when he heard it, not to mention anything else, toast a glass of wine, say a few auspicious words, say hello, listen to a few teachings, receive a red envelope or something, one is two or three minutes, it is estimated that it will take a few hours, the same words have been said a hundred times, the same etiquette has to be estimated a hundred times, just thinking about it is scary.
"Uncle, didn't you say to drink saliva? Why are you chatting again, hurry up, come here, practice the etiquette again, the old woman will say the things to pay attention to again, otherwise the etiquette will not be enough, and the old lady will not let go of the small one. Liu Yuan just chatted for a while, and the old woman who taught Liu Yuan etiquette saw it and immediately called again.
As soon as he heard that voice, Liu Yuan went back to receive training etiquette from those people with a bitter face, while Cui Xiong was drinking tea with a leisurely face.
I don't know what to do, but when I saw Liu Yuan's stunned look, Cui Xiong felt funny.
After tossing for nearly half an hour, it was finally the auspicious time to welcome the bride, although the two old women who were responsible for teaching etiquette were a little unsatisfied, but they couldn't miss the auspicious day, so they had to let Liu Yuan go, but there was one person who followed Liu Yuan and waited until necessary to give instructions.
Liu Yuan was able to get rid of the difficulty, and after dressing up, he set off on a high-headed horse.
"Aunt Ge, where is this going?" Liu Yuan was wearing a red groom's robe, a groom's hat, a big red flower on his chest, riding a jujube red horse, and under the opening of the honor guard, he began to greet his relatives, but the direction he walked was not to Cuifu, but to another direction, so he couldn't help asking.
Aunt Ge is responsible for teaching Liu Yuan's etiquette a "blessed person", the so-called blessed people, is some lucky women, married well, full of children and grandchildren, weekdays husband singing with the wife, white-headed to old, envy others, many people marry daughters, they like to ask this kind of woman to teach and bless the couple, it is said that this can be a little blessed, like this Aunt Ge is said to be a famous "blessed person" within a radius of 100 miles, after marrying into the husband's family, Wang Ding is prosperous and wealthy, and it is difficult for ordinary people to invite it.
Of course, Qinghe Cui's family is not an ordinary family, and there are not many people who take the initiative to ask for help.
"Uncle, the mansion is too close to Cui's mansion, such a big thing, it must be taken a good turn, the old lady means that it is better to go around Qinghe City." Aunt Ge said with a smile.
It turns out that this is the case, Liu Yuan nodded, this can also be understood, such a big thing as Qinghe Cui's marriage to a daughter, it is naturally a big fanfare, so that everyone knows that he married Cui Mengyao, that is naturally Qinghe's son-in-law, just swim around Qinghe City, even if you can't be lucky enough to be invited to Cui's mansion for dinner, you can take a look and recognize your face, so you are not afraid that the water will wash the Dragon King Temple, make a misunderstanding, and your family will not recognize your own family.
"Look, this is the son-in-law of the Cui family."
"You're so young."
"It's just, do you see it, it's so young."
"It's really handsome, and it's really a talent."
"It looks thin and weak, is it okay?"
"Emaciated? Haven't you heard? He is a general, he led his troops to Tubo to fight with those slaves, and made countless military exploits, I heard that there were more than a dozen chiefs of hundreds of households who died in his hands, do you dare to say that he was thin? Do you dare and try? ”
"Yes, I've heard about this, and now I've named General Yangwei"
Liu Yuan rode a high-headed horse, walking slowly, and kept saluting around, and along the way, many people pointed at him.
It can be summarized that most of the men are red-eyed and jealous, most of them are red-eyed Liu Yuan can hug a beautiful woman, jealous Liu Yuan can rely on the big tree of the Cui family in the Qinghe River, and the woman is excitedly discussing Liu Yuan's appearance and talent, and so on, some women also secretly sent Qiu Bo to Liu Yuan, but unfortunately Liu Yuan ignored them all.
"Groom, hurry up and give the happy money"
"May the bridegroom and the bridegroom grow old together."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Brother groom, hurry up and give the happy money."
I don't know when there was a large group of children next to him, shouting loudly one by one, one by one sounding better than the other, calling Liu Yuansan to like money and candy, even many adults also asked for it, such a advantage, and secondly, it was also called a little joy.
"Liu Quan, bring the things." Liu Yuan shouted loudly on the horse.
For these things, Liu Yuan was ready early in the morning, today is such a happy day, these small money, naturally will not be saved, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, so a big bag of silver beans was prepared early in the morning, which was used to scatter happy money.
It's too small to use copper coins, it's too extravagant to use gold, and it's just right to use silver, Liu Yuan asked people to prepare it early in the morning and got a few large bags of silver beans.
"Yes, young master." Liu Quan, who was following the instructions next to him, immediately handed Liu Yuan a large bag of silver beans.
Liu Yuan took the bag, without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed a handful, and scattered towards the children, the silver was shining in the sun, and everyone felt that their eyes were bright, and a large handful of silver beans fell from the sky.
"Pick it up, it's time to scatter the money."
"It's mine, don't grab it."
As soon as the silver beans dispersed, the group of babies who followed Liu Yuanzhuan roared and roared to grab the silver beans.
"Ah, that's silver beans, pick them up." I don't know who shouted, and after a while, adults and children all went out together, bent down one by one, and hurriedly looked for this windfall from the sky.
Qinghe is the base camp of Cui's family, the folk customs here are simple, because there is Cui's here, every New Year's festival will also give money and porridge, build bridges and pave roads, fund private schools, for the children of the poor people to study for free, it is also for the benefit of the neighbors, and they also lead by example on weekdays, treat the local people with good manners, which is also called rabbits do not eat the grass by the nest, driven by Cui's, the quality of the people of Qinghe is very good, although many people are picking up silver beans, but there is no quarrel, it seems polite.
This is completely different from the benefit of later generations, one by one, regardless of manners, and even getting up, that quality is terrifying.
Suddenly, a little girl about four or five years old cried sadly because she couldn't grab the silver beans, and saw that the other children had them. (To be continued......)
PS: The first watch, there is a second watch today, I have rested for most of the day, and the whole person is in good spirits, roaring ~~~
