When the common people heard that the prince of Pingliao and the Marquis of Weining had married today, they all wanted to join in the excitement and see the demeanor of Xue Fan and the others, so the people who watched the excitement crowded on both sides of the street early, pushing and hugging, and there were many discussions.

In about half an hour, the guard of honor came to the back door of the Shuai Mansion. Liu Mengming led people to greet him at the foot of the stairs, and the honor guard to greet the relatives arrived, and he hurriedly introduced the Shuai Mansion directly, and came to the outside of the cross-courtyard where Xue Yulian lived.

With the help of Xue Yulian and Liu Ruyan and other sisters, Fan Lihua put on big makeup and changed into a cyan dress.

Li Hong came in and said, "Is Aunt Ning done dressing up?" ”

Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "The person who greeted the relatives hasn't come yet, and the eldest brother has urged it first." Are you in such a hurry to marry Sister Ning? ”

Li Hong smiled: "Sister Yin's mouth will not be forgiving at any time. I asked Aunt Ning if she was okay, she was serious. Why are you in a hurry to marry Aunt Ning? Xue Yulian smiled: "You and Yin'er's kung fu haven't been cultivated yet." Almost, what's the matter? Li Hong said: "I have already asked people to set up the genealogy of the heirs of the Fan family in the main room, and while the people who welcome the relatives have not yet come, quickly let Ning Gu burn a few incense sticks to worship and worship." Xue Yulian said: "This is a serious matter, I almost forgot about it when I was busy." Aunt Ning, let's go, let's go to the main room. ”

Xue Yulian said, helping Fan Lihua to stand up and walk out. Yun Lan and Yu Lan hurriedly came over and lifted the hem of Fan Lihua's clothes. Liu Ruyan and Dou Yuxian took the hijab and shawl and walked out of the wing room together, walked through the verandah, and came to the main room. The maid hurriedly lifted the bamboo curtain, and Xue Yulian helped Fan Lihua into the main room.

On the wall of the main room hangs a silk portrait of Fan Jianwei, a mighty general, painted by Dan Qing. On the long case, there are the shrines of the ancestors of the Fan family and the tablets of Fan Hong. In front of it is a bronze incense burner, which is full of rue incense. A pair of red candles are lit on either side of the incense burner, and various offerings are placed in front of it.

Xue Yulian helped Fan Lihua to stand in front of the incense case with the genealogy listed, and stepped aside. The maid brought the water in a copper basin, Fan Lihua cleaned her hands, put four sticks of incense on the incense table, lit it on the flame of the red candle and inserted it into the incense burner. Yunlan held it on a begonia lotus leaf plate and poured three glasses of wine. Fan Lihua picked up the wine and poured three glasses of wine in front of the shrine. Then he retreated to the mat, lifted his dress and knelt down on the mat.

Fan Lihua knelt on the mat, looking at her father's tablet, tears welled up like a spring. He secretly said in his heart: "Father, the unfilial daughter has made incense for her father." Today's daughter is going to be out of the boudoir again, since she set up a family affair with Xue Dingshan in Hanjiangguan, in the past few years, her daughter has been married three times and had nightmares twice. I don't know what the outcome will be this time. The daughter knows that the father hates his daughter, perhaps, the first two turmoil are the father's punishment for his daughter. After so many years, the suffering of her daughter is enough to atone for her daughter's unfilial sin. If the father has a spirit in heaven, ask the father to read it for the sake of the daughter or the father's little blood and bless the daughter to get married this time and not have any accidents. The daughter is willing to kowtow in the morning and dusk, and pray to the heavens for her father to ascend to the fairy world as soon as possible. If the father still resents his daughter and refuses to forgive his daughter, the daughter will use her daughter's life to atone for her father's sins, and only ask that when the daughter goes to Jiuquan, the father can see her and then hear her call 'Daddy'. Fan Lihuazhu burst into tears and slowly bowed four times.

Li Hong, Xue Yulian, Liu Ruyan and others watched Fan Lihua sprinkle tears and worship beside them, and they couldn't help crying. Xue Yulian barely held back her tears and came over to help Fan Lihua stand up. Persuaded: "Aunt Ning, don't be sad. If your uncle sees your sincerity in heaven, he will definitely not blame you anymore. He will bless you with peace, Corning. Li Hong also said: "Aunt Ning, the past has passed, don't think about it anymore." Today is your big day, and you are so sad and heartbroken, which makes everyone feel sad, which is too unlucky. Don't think about it so much, just wait for Yunfeng to come and greet you. Fan Lihua nodded slightly and said, "I know, it's just a momentary touch." I'm fine. Xue Yulian helped her to sit down on the edge of the bed, evened her face again, and applied powder. Quietly waiting for the person to greet the kiss.

Li Hong saw that everything was settled, so he went out of the house and led a few waiters to greet the people in front of the courtyard gate.

From a distance, he saw Liu Mengming leading the guard of honor to welcome his relatives, hurriedly turned around and went in, and ordered to "cover the door". The boys were ordered to close the courtyard door.

Because there are no wells, cooking stoves, etc. in the yard. Cover the well, and the passing scene of filling the stove will be exempted. I heard the maid report that the person who greeted her had arrived. Xue Yulian hurriedly ordered her maid Shuangyan to insert three carved arrows tied with red ropes on the knocker of the door of the house, and ordered Hehuan to use three liters of new rice to make a mortar. In order to ward off evil spirits and pray for Najib.

The greeting car came to a slow stop outside the courtyard gate with the melodious music of the sheng flute. Cheng Yanjin and Qin Han got out of the car first, and Liu Mengming hurriedly came over to greet him and said, "Xiaosheng Liu Jiong has seen the old thousand-year-old. Cheng bit Jin and said, "Let's go up and buckle the ring." ”

As he spoke, Qin Han stepped up the steps, raised his hand and pulled the knocker and shouted inside: "Li Gongzi, Li Niangzi, Ding Shan is here, please invite the newcomer to come out." Li Hong said through the courtyard gate: "The girls have been busy for several days, and they will marry people with such an easy sentence, but they will not agree" Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "We brought heavy gifts, please take it to the girls to see." He turned back and said, "Boys, hurry up and present the gifts." A few servants who came with him hurriedly brought the three-color heavy gifts to the front. Li Hong then ordered Tong'er to open the door, let people check the gifts one by one, and then sent them inside, and said with a smile: "Old Chitose, this is the rule left by the ancients, and I dare not violate it in my later life." How offended, please also ask the old Chitose Haihan. Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "Happy event, the picture is a lively event, what is the old man to blame." Li Hong smiled and said: "Old Chitose, generals, please come in." ”

As he spoke, he dodged and let the people who greeted him into the courtyard. At this time, Jiang Xu and Xu Qing also accompanied Xue Dingshan to get off the float. Follow Li Hong into the courtyard.

Li Hong said again: "Old Chitose, generals, Xiaosheng has already ordered someone to prepare a thin wine and coarse tea, please don't be too simple and use a few cups." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly laughed and said, "We won't bother much, the emperor and the adults are still waiting to watch the ceremony." Is the bride ready? It's not getting early, so it's time for us to go. Li Hong said with a smile: "Sister She, now that the makeup is finished, please wait a moment with the old Chitose and the generals." ”
