Chapter 232: The Four Masterpieces (21)
The sound of gongs and drums, and the burst of firecrackers.
In this very chic courtyard, it was already crowded with people at this moment, and they were all relatives, friends, and neighbors who were invited overnight.
This pair of newcomers has always been the object of heated discussions in secret, after all, this neighborhood leader actually knows that this Yicheng's daughter Zhao Lan and this man with poetry and books love each other, just because Zhao Lan is very beautiful. I have heard that Zhao Lan's gold-worshipping father was originally going to send her to run for the concubine, but the concubine's candidacy is not regular, but depends on the emperor's mind.
Zhao Lan's money-worshipping father felt that he had no chance, so he looked for the children of rich and powerful families everywhere, but he never thought that these people were either gentlemen, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, or they were full of wives and concubines, and they were dispensable for beautiful daughters. Everyone saw that Zhao Lan married this talented local talent, they are all talented and beautiful, what a perfect match, so the people who came to attend the wedding can be described as crowded, and naturally a large part of them are to witness the beauty of the bride's national color.
"My lord, please participate in the marriage ceremony, I am troublesome to my lord, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins, I am ashamed and ashamed."
"It's serious, it's serious, it's really old, and it's natural to be a witness to their marriage", Runzhi said very humbly and politely.
"My lord, this is our red envelope for marriage, please smile"
The man quietly handed over a red envelope to Runzhi, the red envelope was bulging, obviously stuffed with a large amount of silver tickets.
"This must not be, if the official accepts your gift money, what is the difference between it and these corrupt officials, if the official accepts your gift money today, he may embezzle public funds tomorrow, the official is deeply disgusted by this kind of behavior, so he has never accepted any red envelopes, this, please take it back yourself"
"Thank you so much, sir!"
The words are the groom's father, Lin Hexu, who is also a hometown sage. Later, because of the large number of children, the family's expenses gradually became tight, and in order to relieve the financial pressure of the family, at the invitation of the clan relatives, they came here on purpose. The big family surnamed Lin who invited him borrowed his capital without interest and helped him run a rice shop for Lin Hexu to operate. This Lin Hexu is diligent and diligent every day, and he does his best to treat customers with sincerity and sincerity, so the business is gradually getting better, and his own food and clothing are also worry-free.
I never thought that this big family surnamed Lin, because of the production and sale of fake drugs, thousands of people died, alarming the top management of Linfang, the pharmacy involved arrested thousands of people, and hundreds of them were collectively beheaded The picture made Lin Hexu shocked, and secretly reminded himself in his heart to standardize the operation, don't engage in these crooked ways, honest and honest business is the best way to do business, and a high degree of loyalty and responsibility to customers is the best advertisement. This makes Lin Hexu have a very good business, but he has a wide range of contacts, and there are naturally a lot of people who come to attend his son's wedding.
"Knowledgeable Lin Zihao, do you love your bride Zhao Lan? Are you willing to spend a lifetime caring for her, loving her, pampering her, tolerating her, taking care of her, having children with your wife, growing old together, and never abandoning your wife Zhao Lan no matter what difficulties you encounter? ”
The wedding ceremony officially began, and Runzhi began to climb on the red carpet, stepping on the stage covered with rose petals, and asked very passionately and powerfully.
The groom's official Lin Zihao listened, so he said almost without hesitation:
"Yes, I love my bride Zhao Lan, I am willing to use my life to take care of her, pamper her, love her, tolerate her, take care of her, I am willing to have children with my wife Zhao Lan, grow old together, no matter what difficulties I encounter in this life, I am willing to never abandon my wife Zhao Lan!"
Runzhi heard Lin Zihao's end, so he turned his head to the bride and asked:
"Beautiful and virtuous bride Zhao Lan, do you love the groom Lin Zihao? Are you willing to spend your life to tolerate the shortcomings of your husband Lin Zihao, never betray your husband Lin Zihao in this life, and have children with your husband Lin Zihao for the rest of your life. ”
The bride Zhao Lan was a little shy at this moment, after all, from a young and beautiful girl, she suddenly changed to a wife, in this special period of identity transformation, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so that after Runzhi raised the question, she was very nervous for a while, and even had a feeling that she didn't dare to open her mouth. But Zhao Lan hinted to herself internally, my lover Lin Zihao has already been in the middle, and is willing to take good care of me, pamper me, and take care of me for the rest of his life, no matter where I am, as long as my husband is there, I am not afraid, and I love my husband in public, isn't it exactly what I dreamed of? What's there to be afraid of or shy about?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lan plucked up her courage, cleared her throat, and said:
"I love the groom Lin Zihao, I am willing to use my life's time to fully tolerate my husband Lin Zihao's shortcomings, and never betray my husband Lin Zihao in this life, from now on, I will be with my husband Lin Zihao for the rest of my life, have children together, husband and wife, weal and woe, no matter what I encounter, I am always willing to live with my husband Lin Zihao in this life, grow old together!"
Hearing that the two newcomers each spoke their own hearts and made a lifelong promise to each other in public, Runzhi continued according to the ritual process:
The groom Lin Zihao and the bride Zhao Lan, the two met under the introduction of Yourao when they went to spring under the mulberry tree, and the two loved each other ever since. Today, the two promise to be willing to love each other for the rest of their lives, willing to have children with each other, and carry the old with each other, here today, in front of many relatives and friends, and neighbors, please let us bless the couple from now on family harmony, early birth of noble sons, rolling wealth, many children and grandchildren, a hundred years of good together, the following official officially announced that the groom Lin Zihao and the bride Zhao Lan officially married each other! ”
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on Pu Songling's teahouse, putting a faint golden coat on many of the furniture.
After giving Zhao Lan and Lin Zihao a marriage certificate, Runzhi returned to the post station, changed his clothes, and came to Pu Songling's teahouse again, and ordered a big bowl of Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao tea and two stacks of peanuts as usual, and told the rest of the story of the "Four Famous Novels" and Luo Guanzhong to the many old women and children who had been waiting in the teahouse for a long time, and who were hungry for knowledge.
