Chapter Seventy-Six: Jiang Yun's Wedding
It's August.
As soon as the day dawned, I woke up in the middle of the summer, dressed, washed my face, and groomed...... Coherent.
Mama Su was skillful, combed Banxia with a flying fairy bun, a sapphire falling from her hair, and a blue skirt of the same color, which looked beautiful and dignified, and would not steal the limelight from the bride.
Banxia looked at himself in the bronze mirror, although the mirror image was blurred, he could still see a better face.
Su Zhiyuan appeared in the mirror: "Lady, it's so beautiful." ”
Since having a baby, Banxia, who rarely dresses up, amazes Su Zhiyuan's eyes every time he touches up a little.
A man starts to get agitated in the morning.
Banxia dodged away, turned her head and asked Mama Su, "Are you ready to add makeup?" ”
"Back to the young lady's words, they are all ready, and they have been loaded into the carriage." Mama Su couldn't help but praise secretly in her heart, her wife is too generous! Add so much makeup, but it's rare! Miss Jiang is so blessed.
A group of people got in order and got into the carriage.
Liu Wanwan stayed at home in order to take care of Dabao and the eldest girl, and Su's mother was a little nervous when she participated in this kind of big family banquet for the first time.
"Mother, there must be a lot of people in Jiang's Mansion today, and it's busy, so the rice balls will be handed over to my mother to take care of." Banxia tried to use the child to divert Su's mother's attention.
"Don't worry, the rice balls are here, they must be good, do you want to bring me the buns."
Banxia saw that this trick was useful, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my mother just needs to take that leather boy with you." ”
"Eh, Haole, give it to my mother." Su Mu patted her chest and promised.
Su Mu and the others went to Jiang's mansion, and there were already little maids waiting at the gate.
Seeing Banxia, he hurriedly greeted him: "Meet Madame, young master, young lady." Madame Jiang sent a slave maid to wait for you at the door, the young lady went to the inner courtyard with the slave maid, and the rest of the people went to the main hall with the sister of Chunjian, and the guests were all there. ”
"I'm tired."
As the maid walked all the way to the inner courtyard, up and down the house, as far as the eye could see, the lights were colorful and joyful.
Jiang Yun's room was full of people.
Xi Niang is using five-color cotton yarn to wring the hair on Jiang Yun's face, commonly known as "open noodles".
Jiang Yun grinned in pain.
Xi Niang smiled: "The girl endures and opens the face, and the skin is like a shelled egg, very smooth." ”
Jiang Yun Yuguang saw Banxia, and the whole person who was excited stood up, and was pressed back by the bride: "Girl, you can't move, it's not good to miss the hour." ”
It's no wonder that Jiang Yun is too excited, these young ladies and ladies in the house have nothing to do with her on weekdays, and they don't have much to say.
And her friends around her, in addition to rhubarb, are cousins and Banxia.
But Rhubarb can't come, she belongs to the man's side, and she has to wait in the General's Mansion.
My cousin is the princess of Jin, and the two of them would not have come so early.
Therefore, seeing Banxia at this time, Jiang Yun was excited.
At this time, the hall of Jiangfu was also very lively, and the guests gathered in the hall to watch the dowry.
In ancient times, there was a custom: the woman placed the dowry in the hall and let people watch, which was called "watching the dowry", that is, watching the dowry.
The utensils are draped with red threads, the clothes are scented with sandalwood, and several silver dollars are placed at the bottom of the box, commonly known as "pressing the box money". The dowry is moved to the man and displayed in the hall for people to see, also called "watching the dowry". The matchmaker takes the woman's key bag and takes the key to open the box, commonly known as "digging the box".
There are also many people who come to add makeup, and boxes of makeup are carried into the hall, the most conspicuous of which are two boxes of medicinal herbs.
"Oh my God, look!" A certain lady was surprised.
Everyone followed her gaze to the two super large boxes in the southeast corner.
One of the boxes was filled with ginseng with all five elements, and the other was filled with reishi.
"Such a big ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, I'm afraid that even the royal palace is rare."
"Yes, it's rare to get an ordinary one, and it's like you don't need money here, box by box!"
"That lingzhi is bigger than the face plate, and the ginseng feels like it's going to become a sperm, I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands!"
"Princess Jin is so good to this cousin."
A woman said mysteriously: "You just didn't know what you came, but I heard it, didn't this makeup be added by Princess Jin?" ”
"Oh?"
The woman said: "This is the makeup of the reviser's wife, and it is said that she and Miss Jiang are handkerchiefs." ”
Another lady came over: "What is the origin of this reviser's wife, who is so generous?" ”
Around the circle, Madame and Miss pricked up their ears to listen.
"I heard that I came from a small mountain village, and my ancestor was in the medicinal herb business."
Many people scoffed, and many people thought of making friends.
People are born, old, sick and die, especially when a woman gives birth to a child, she needs ginseng to hang, and the effect of such a large ginseng is naturally powerful!
So when Banxia went to the hall to eat "open noodles and soup fruit", batches of ladies came to talk, and Banxia looked inexplicable.
What a situation!
Suddenly, the subordinate sang: "King Jin, Princess Jin has arrived." ”
The crowd bowed down.
King Jin raised his hand: "No need to be polite." ”
That being said, everyone is still a lot more restrained.
Outside the artillery battle to welcome the sedan chair. Everyone went out to join in the fun.
The groom was dressed in a red wedding robe to welcome the bride, and was stopped at the door by the ladies of the Jiang Mansion, and the surrounding people gathered around to watch the excitement.
The groom was prepared and glanced at the person next to him, who began to stuff red envelopes.
The ladies stopped and opened the door.
Jiang Yun lay on her brother's back and walked out of the door, all the way to the sedan chair parking.
Banxia looked at the novelty: "Xianggong, what are those people doing?" Why do you light a red candle and hold a mirror to look inside the car? ”
Su Zhiyuan said: "This is a custom, the sedan chair door must be parked outward, and some people in the female family say that they will expel the ghosts hiding in the sedan chair, and they will search the sedan chair." ”
As soon as Su Zhiyuan's words fell, Mrs. Jiang had already begun to cry: "Ah, ah, you can lift it, it's baking!" Nong is going alone, leading the tide! Nong respects her in-laws, respects her blessings, and respects her husband for having something to eat. ”
This custom Banxia knows that this is "crying on the sedan chair". Before going to the bridge, you need to get three reminders, pretending not to get married, lazy to make up, and then sitting on the mother's lap, the mother feeds the daughter with a sedan chair, meaning not to forget the grace of nursing.
Jiang Yun was moved by her true feelings, tears fell down, and then her brother hugged her in the sedan chair.
After entering the sedan chair and sitting down, the buttocks should not be moved casually, so as to be safe and steady.
"Get up." The sound of artillery rang out.
The woman's family sprinkled the roof of the sedan chair with tea and rice grains. The bride's brother travels with the sedan chair, which is called "sending the sedan chair".
The sedan chair goes around to the Chitose Square to ask for "Chitose" and "Three Shots".
Brother Jiang Yun sent him back halfway, and he wanted to wrap the ashes and light the ashes back, light the incense from the tinder, and put it in the fire tank when he returned home, commonly known as "pouring fire ashes", also known as "receiving the fire".
Banxia was stunned for a while, it was very cumbersome to get married in ancient times, but fortunately, I was stupid when I got married, and I didn't toss so much.
However, in the village, the brides all sit in a cart and a carriage......
It is estimated that Xiaomei will become the first girl in Xiaohe Village to marry in a carriage!
