Chapter 361: Send
The ceremonial officer holds the goose first.
Huo Yixiao followed, walked to the front of the case, took the pair of geese from the hands of the ceremonial officer, and put them on the case.
Wen Zifu stepped forward and saluted.
A series of agendas, all familiar with the heart.
Outside the gate of the house, the door railing has been removed to facilitate the sedan chair to enter the courtyard.
Old Madam Gui looked at the sedan chair intently.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites pondered and meditated hard and designed the sedan clothes suitable for today's marriage, and the old lady had asked Wen Zifu to inquire before, and then came back to inform her one by one.
At this time, she looked at it to see if the embroidery pattern on it was as luxurious and delicate as she had said before.
The more she looked, the more satisfied the old lady's heart became.
The sedan body is still used in the old case, the carving is complex and exquisite, layer by layer of gold, with the old craftsmanship of the south of the Yangtze River.
These processes are labor-intensive and time-consuming, and it is impossible to rush out new ones in such a short time.
The Ministry of Rites has done a lot of articles on the sedan clothes.
Just looking at the dragon and phoenix on the sedan curtain, I don't know how many gold and silver threads were used.
I heard that the Ministry of Rites had previously considered whether to change the festive pattern, and wanted Gao Lujiao to ask Huo Yixiao, but in the end, Du Hong touched his beard and said that the Jiangnan girl went out of the cabinet and used more "dragons and phoenixes".
This is a custom left over from the previous dynasty.
There are all kinds of legends, and the most widely spread is the story of a certain emperor and a girl from the south of the Yangtze River in the previous dynasty.
The story ended with regret, but the emperor set the rule that Jiangnan girls should not shy away from when they got on the sedan chair.
Jiangnan people have passed on by word of mouth, and some have fallen on pen and ink.
The former dynasty is a thing of the past, but the customs remain.
It is a great joy again, this dynasty has never been restricted after the establishment of the capital Lin'an, and the happy events of the nearby Jiangnan territory are all handled in this way, after the capital is moved, the Jiangnan Mountain is far away, and no one will take care of it.
However, the new capital in the north is rigid, unless the royal family marries, there is no need for dragons and phoenixes.
Du Hong pushed the old example of Jiangnan out, Wen Yan's ancestral hometown is Lin'an, the left and right are just right, and it is in line with the emperor's wishes, and it is not against Huo Yixiao's ideas.
No matter what the reason is, looking at this sedan clothes makes Mrs. Gui's heart flutter.
When you are older, you know best that you have to compromise with yourself.
It has been lowered by one level, and it is more luxurious than others, and there is a chance to go one step further after the banquet.
Although the house is small, there is no way to compare with the Ding'an Hou Mansion, but you can't go out of the pavilion from Lin'an and let Huo Yixiao go south to welcome him, right?
You can't have both fish and bear's paws, and now it's like this, and it's also beautiful.
The auspicious time has arrived, and Wen Yan is about to get on the sedan chair.
Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, Wen Yan lay on Wen Ci's back and went out on the eldest brother's back.
The hijab blocked her vision, and Wen Yan couldn't see the situation clearly on the left and right, only a red patch in front of her, but she could hear it clearly.
The ceremonial officer motioned for Huo Yixiao to lift the sedan curtain.
Wen Ci reflexively asked Wen Yan to face the sedan door and put the person down.
When the ceremonial official invited Wen Yan into the sedan chair, she lowered her eyes and saw Huo Yixiao through the gap in the hijab.
The shoes of the bridegroom are beaming and joyful, unlike the others.
Wen Yan pursed his lips and smiled, and sat down.
The curtain of the car fell, separating the inside and outside.
Huo Yixiao walked out, and in the alley, Xiao Yun was panting, his neck raised, and he looked at the edge of the wall not far away.
Ebony stood on top, staring at Xiao Yun with wide eyes.
In the next moment, it suddenly came down from the wall, and several ups and downs, standing on the body of Xiao Yun.
The ceremonial officials on the side were all startled.
There has never been a bridegroom who has married a man and immediately sat on a cat.
How good is that?
But if you want to drive the cat away......
This is the cat with the official body of the fifth grade, how can it be like other cats and dogs, snoring and drinking.
Everyone is holding things according to the division of labor in their hands, and there is no empty hand to pick up the cat down.
If you have an organic spirit, you want to look for Huo Yixuan when you turn your head.
As a result, at a glance, Huo Yixuan was smiling vigorously at the black cat, and the ceremonial official's "Huo Dagongzi" choked in his throat and couldn't scream.
Advertisement,[Source change artifact APP] is really good, it's worth installing one, after all, you can cache and read aloud offline!
Looking at this appearance, it is probably useless to call it.
Huo Dagongzi can't control the black cat.
I haven't found a way to do it in this room, and in that room, Huo Yixiao, who came over, also saw Ebony.
There is an extra cat on horseback, which is particularly conspicuous.
Xiaoyun is also very familiar with Ebony, and has no intention of throwing the cat off at all.
When Huo Yixiao walked to the horse, Hei Tan'er looked at him with a pair of round eyes and meowed.
Huo Yixiao bent his lips and reached out to rub Ebony'er's neck.
Either get out of the way and get off the horse, or let him rub it twice.
You have to pick one.
Ebony didn't want to choose, it subconsciously wanted to scratch the back of Huo Yixiao's hand, but finally stopped it.
That's it, a good day, don't worry about this person.
Huo Yixiao pressed Ebon'er's hair, rubbed it, and turned over on the horse.
The music sounded, and he grabbed the horse's belly and set off.
The guard of honor came out in order, and the sedan chair was carried out of the house, followed by boxes of dowries.
The entire queue was so long that it was barely visible.
When Mrs. Gui was sent outside, the sedan chair was already far away.
Because of the water banquet in the alley, everyone in the family worked together to dismantle the curtain and put up a table.
Mrs. Gui and her two daughters-in-law smiled happily at her group of old sisters, and what she said on her lips was "poor hospitality".
Mama Wu is in charge of the kitchen, and what she sends out is authentic Lin'an cuisine.
Mrs. Gui smiled, and asked the old sisters: "You have been in Beijing for so many years, are you still used to eating the old tastes?" I have just been to Beijing for a short time, and I can't change my local accent and taste, and you were still young when you came, which was different from me. ”
Which one would say they can't get used to eating?
Don't look at the people laughing on the table, saying that you can't get used to eating, Gai Ming'er was said to be "forgetting the roots" by a group of people behind her back.
The sedan chair went out of Yanzi Hutong and turned to the southbound.
Wen Yan sat in the sedan chair, the sedan chair was very stable, not bumpy at all.
She could hear the cheers outside.
The boys in the honor guard carried baskets and threw money into the crowd of onlookers.
If you listen closely, you can hear someone surprised that there was a black cat on the back of the bridegroom's horse.
There was no interest in the sedan chair, and Wen Yan relied on distinguishing the movement outside to pass the time.
But as I walked, the cheers seemed to be lightened little by little, as if I had walked into some alley, and the people I met were also very restrained and simply said goodbye.
Wen Yan casually traced the direction they were traveling in his mind.
After leaving Yanzi Hutong, go south, walk for a while, go west, and then ......
Her eyes widened.
Isn't that here......
Quietly, Wen Yan lifted the corner of the curtain with one hand, and raised the hijab with the other, and through the gap in that corner, she saw the familiar courtyard door.
The home of her childhood.
Wen Zhang followed the guard of honor and stood outside the gate of his courtyard.
Wen Yan understood what his brother meant.
He wanted to be here, and to send her away.
