Chapter 153: The Wedding Night
The air is clear, the earth is white, the snow is flying, and the cold winter is waxing moon.
When she was in the ice and snow, Tang Shuqin finally made up her mind to have a flash marriage with Zhang Mengfei.
The two deliberately set a good day, and then found a feng shui gentleman who had shown people feng shui and was not a feng shui gentleman, so that this lack of public rao face, do some tricks, less paper money, and then announce the two good dates to the public, and know that this is the most auspicious day of the year.
In this way, within a week, the two were engaged and married, and both families were very busy.
Anyway, because Runzhi Jingcheng went to this Meng Fei's shop to buy some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone utensils, he gradually became friends with this Meng Fei, so he invited Runzhi to participate.
Originally, according to Runzhi's consistent style, he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, just because he would definitely marry this Yanjing woman in the future, in order to understand some of the customs and laws, so he also accepted the invitation and happily took a few housekeepers to go.
This is a very important moment, and the three most important moments for everyone are the birthday of the birthplace, the second is the day of the great joy, and the last is the day of the sacrifice.
In such an important one, the groom can be busy.
In his own home, this Meng Fei was completely busy, preparing banquets, preparing invitations, buying some necessary marriage items, and carefully considering the number of red envelopes, the number of relatives, and the arrangement of etiquette, and so on, it was simply annoying.
But even so, I thought that I was going to marry my favorite person.
Zhang Mengfei was still very happy in his heart.
These necessary wedding preparations took almost the vast majority of Zhang Mengfei's time.
Runzhi naturally because of his noble status, it is obviously not suitable for the world to help Zhang Mengfei make some preparations, so he specially sent more than a dozen mansion family members to help in the past few days, and also gave this Mengfei a lot of gold and silver jewelry in advance.
The people of Kyushu often like to do these red and white ceremonies in the cold winter wax moon, which is actually closely related to the life and rest of Kyushu.
Because of the people of Kyushu, peasants account for the vast majority.
The vast majority of farmers in Kyushu are often busy sowing seeds in the spring, weeding and fertilizing in the scorching summer sun, and harvesting grain in the fruitful autumn.
Naturally, the people of Kyushu seized this rare winter and held all the weddings that they had no time to take care of on weekdays.
The winter is cold, and it is often the old and frail Rao Buxing, and naturally a large part of the old people are leaving in such a season.
Naturally, because there are many people who get married in winter, they are pregnant in October, and it is just in the next winter that a new batch of children will be born.
Zhang Mengfei wore the groom's red clothes, rode a group of high-headed horses, and held a red mandarin duck belt in his hand, and walked to the Tang family next door.
The Tang family had naturally been prepared for a long time, the guests had already been invited, and the bride's makeup had already begun to be carefully prepared in advance.
Because the two families were very close, it only took a while for this Meng Fei to come to the Tang family.
Carrying the bride on her back, she went outside, and the gongs and drums were beating, and many people were watching the wedding as if they were watching a performance.
It is rare for these many people to eat melons to see this bride being carried out by the groom official, and then carried into the sedan chair
Before carrying Tang Shuqin, there was also a ritual.
After the ceremony began, he was invited by Zhang Mengfei to serve as the wedding officiant Rao Zhangjian, and said loudly:
"Please welcome the bride and groom! Recite the oath! ”
Zhang Mengfei took out the special wedding speech prepared in advance and read it out loud in front of everyone:
"I voluntarily marry the bride Tang Shuqin as my wife, and promise to love her only one person from now on, and promise to grow old with her for the rest of my life, and share the blessings and hardships, and in the future, the husband and wife will work together to build our home and create a better life together."
After the recitation, Zhang Jian continued to say loudly:
"Next, please ask the groom to carry the bride into the sedan chair"
So this Zhang Mengfei took the bride's hand from Tang Shuqin's mother, and Tang Shuqin's mother handed Tang Shuqin's hand to Zhang Mengfei from her own hand, and said:
"From now on, I will hand over Shuqin to you, you have to treat her wholeheartedly, can you guarantee it?"
Zhang Mengfei said very powerfully:
"Please believe me, Mom, from now on, I will definitely treat Shuqin seriously and wholeheartedly."
Tang Shuqin's mother, Qiu Xiangzhu listened to it and choked up:
"Okay, from now on, our two families will be a family, and we will share blessings and hardships together!"
This Qiu Xiangzhu turned her head and told her daughter Tang Shuqin:
"Shuqin, from now on, you must be a good husband and a child in the Zhang family, you must learn to understand your husband, and wholeheartedly build a common home that belongs to you with your husband, to be gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, kind to others, courteous, and jointly take care of and educate your next generation, do you remember?"
The bride was separated by a piece of red sand, and said shyly:
"Remembering Mother's Advice"
Only this time Qiu Xiangzhu officially handed over Shuqin's hand to Zhang Mengfei's hand Zheng
The host shouted from the side:
"Please Sina bride worship the ground"
It turns out that in many places in the north and the West, the custom of worshipping the land is also different, some places are worshipping the land in the husband's home, some are worshipping the land in the bride's home, and naturally there are many people in the middle of the two families, or a place with many relatives in a certain link of the two families to marry in public.
Naturally, Zhang Mengfei's wedding form belongs to the last category, mainly based on the number of relatives, which family has more people, and where it is lively, where to worship the church.
In the eyes of the ancients, a wedding blessed by everyone will last for a long time, and the husband and wife will be together for a hundred years and give birth to a noble son early.
Because of the woman's large number of guests, very lively, and then the two close to each other, in the square at the woman's door, has long prepared a red carpet, sprinkled with red petals, the surrounding decoration is very exquisite, it is conceivable that the bride's craftsmanship and mind is indeed very delicate, everyone has been amazed by the unique design of the lady.
On such an occasion, it is generally necessary for the bride to arrange it personally, and according to the bride's personal arrangement, it means that the bride will become a good wife and mother in the future, and her performance in husband and child will be much better.
This Tang Shuqin had already deliberately observed many wedding venues, and even served as a bridesmaid for her best friend, and was almost harassed by some hooligans, but fortunately, because it was close to home at that time, Zhang Mengfei discovered it in time, so he stopped the farce and sent the hooligans who made trouble to the government for conviction and punishment.
In order not to spoil the festive atmosphere of the marriage between the two families, the government also imprisoned the man for three days in accordance with the law, and gave him a hundred taels of silver.
The moment the two met hand in hand, they couldn't wait for the upcoming wedding night, although the two seemed to have been dating many times before.
