Chapter 12 Jiang Lating is pleasing to the car

Xue Dingshan helped Fan Lihua out of the door, walked out of the courtyard, stepped down the steps slowly across the carved saddle, and went straight to the front of the Qibao float, and then handed Fan Lihua's hand to Yulan who was following him, and retreated to the side in a flash.

Because the post of the invitation said that the newcomer was facing the southeast to board the car, Yunlan and Yulan helped Fan Lihua to face the southeast sideways and raised their faces slightly, and then stepped on the footstool to board the Qibao float. The little maid lowered the curtain of the car and stepped back. Yunlan and Yulan also stepped on the footstool to get on the colorful car, sat on the wheels on both sides, and walked with the car.

Liu Mengming followed out, standing on the top of the steps and chanting loudly.

Xue Dingshan personally led the horse and walked a few steps before handing the reins of the horse to the coachman.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly ordered the children who came with him to scatter a few handfuls of some red dates, chestnuts and other things.

The coachman waved the rattan whip incense, and the car started slowly.

Cheng Yanjin saw that the float was moving, and hurriedly walked a few steps to the front, and got on the vehicle to lead the way; Qin Han and Diao Yue'e got on the car to welcome their relatives; Jiang Xu, Qin Ying accompanied Xue Ding Mountain to the groom's float; Brother Cheng Qianzhong, Brother Wei Chijiang, Xu Qing, Ma Lin and others; Deacons of all colors lead the way. Li Hong and Liu Mengming, as the dependents of the relatives, escorted the float and the honor guard together to leave the courtyard where Li Hong and his wife lived, and walked out of the back door of the garden along the Yonglu Road to the street.

Because there were too many deacons, Vice Luan didn't go in with him, and was waiting outside the door. Seeing that the sheng flute musicians came out, they hurriedly lined up and set up. A line of honor guards, plus the people who gave makeup, set up for two or three miles. Go out and head east, turn two streets and go back to the front of Shuaifu.

Halfway through, Jiang Xu quietly glanced at Qin Ying on the horse next to him. Qin Ying understood, turned around and waved to Cheng Qianzhong, Wei Chijiang and others. These young generals lifted the reins of their horses, and the horses they sat down took a few steps closely, and came to the front of the guard of honor, and lined up to block the way.

The guard of honor stopped, Cheng Yanjin glanced ahead in the car, smiled, and said: "The old man knows that they have this trick, let's flash to the side, let them go to the groom and Li Gongzi." When the driver heard Cheng Yanjin say this, he didn't dare to laugh, and hurriedly pulled the vehicle aside and flashed out of the way.

Qin Ying, Cheng Qianzhong and others led the horse to Xue Dingshan's car.

Cheng Qianzhong said: "Brother Xue, our brothers are busy with your marriage, but they don't miss errands. Now, the newcomers are on the floats. Shouldn't we tear Luo Luo and tear Luo Luo brother? ”

Jiang Xu was on the wheel and hurriedly said: "Brothers, you have worked hard, and when you are free tomorrow, Brother Xue will definitely have a heavy gift to thank you." Ah, there must be a lot of thanks. As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Qianzhong and the others.

Yu Chijiang said: "That's not good. As the saying goes: the newcomer is sent into the cave room, and the errand runner is thrown aside. At that time, Brother Xue only cared about the warmth of the Spring Festival tent, turned his face and refused to admit it, who should we find to reason? No, let's not make empty promises. ”

Jiang Xu turned around and lifted the curtain of the car, and said to Xue Dingshan: "Brother Xue, look ......"

Xue Dingshan smiled and said, "Brother Xian, didn't the second brother give you money?" Do you want to take it for yourself? ”

Jiang Xu smiled: "The second brother gave it to the second brother, and it has nothing to do with you." Everyone didn't ask me for the share that my second brother gave. ”

Li Hong saw that the car had stopped, and Qin Ying and the others all rushed to Xue Dingshan's car, and knew that someone was blocking the car. Hurriedly mentioned the war horse and walked over, and said with a smile on his face: "Generals, don't worry, Xiaosheng has already been prepared." You see, the best old wine. Then he said to the scholar who was following him: "Tong'er, give our Miss Ning's daughter's red wine to the generals." ”

"Ugh." Tong Chenliang, the close attendant beside Li Hong, agreed, and led the two boys to bring over two black pottery wine jars that were as smooth as a mirror.

Li Hong said: "Everyone, this is the best daughter red aged wine, give it to you as a thank you gift." I hope that the generals will not dislike it, please laugh at it. ”

Qin Ying smiled and said, "It's still the eldest brother-in-law." It's not as stingy as Brother Xue, we've been busy for the past few days, and we don't even appreciate a glass of wine. We will receive Mr. Li's affection and please Miss Fan. Turning to Cheng Qianzhong, Wei Chijiang and others, he said, "Okay, brothers, Li Gongzi has appreciated the wine." Let's make trouble with Brother Xue tomorrow, let's get out of the way first, the groom is still waiting to finish worshipping heaven and earth to enter the cave room early. These young generals burst into laughter, and then each of them flashed to both sides with their horses, making way for them. The car continued to start amid the sound of the flute.

After turning two avenues until they came to the gate of the Shuai Mansion, the honor guard slowly stopped. Cheng Yanjin got out of the car first, and Qin Han also hurriedly got down and rushed to catch up with Cheng Yanjin. Cheng Yanjin went up the steps and said, "Hurry up and reply to the letter, the newcomer has arrived." ”

Someone at the door had already seen the guard of honor coming and ran in to deliver the letter.

When Princess Liu heard that she was back, she hurriedly ordered someone to tell Xue Jingshan, Li Xiurong, Dou Yihu, Xue Jinlian, Xue Yulian, Liu Ruyan and others, and asked them to take the servants and maids out of the Shuai Mansion from the side door.

The full deputy Luan stopped outside the gate of the Shuaifu, and the sheng flute musician led the float into the Shuaifu from the middle gate. Xue Yulian, Xue Jingshan and others hurriedly followed the float and came in from the middle gate.

The green tent where the wedding ceremony was held was set up at the auspicious star position not far from Yilanxuan.

On the road from the green tent to Yilanxuan, there are paper, silk, yarn, or silk; or stack, or stack, or pick, or paint the various color lights. On both sides of the brocade banners are hung with congratulatory messages from the ministers of various prefectures written on bright red paper.

The ground in front of the green tent was covered with a bright red felt mat. The people watching the ceremony gathered on both sides, all dressed in fine clothes and smiling. There is a happy tent hanging in the green tent, a hundred pictures. Offering to the gods of heaven and earth. On the incense table is a bucket full of sorghum and a weighing rod. Three mahogany arrows wrapped in red silk thread were inserted into the bucket, and a mahogany bow wrapped in red thread was placed horizontally. Dozens of small porcelain dishes are offered to acacia flowers, pomegranate fruits, red dates, chestnuts, walnuts and other auspicious fruits. There are also rice cakes, flower dumplings, longevity noodles and other things. Sandalwood burns in an ornate copper furnace. Dozens of pairs of red candles burned on the gilded candle stands, illuminating the green tent as if it were day.

Li Shimin sat on the chair with his hands down, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs stood on both sides, waiting for the arrival of the newcomer. The maids and maids who served at the wedding were already in place and waiting. Hearing the sound of the music getting closer and closer, everyone couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
