Chapter 777: Marriage 7
It's a pity that she didn't even dare to lift the curtain, after all, she was going to be a well-behaved bride today.
After walking for a while, Ye Qingyu heard the commotion of the crowd outside louder, and occasionally he could hear a sentence or two,
"Wow! Sprinkle sugar! ”
"......" Ye Qingyu.
Thinking of the new meaning given to sugar sprinkling in modern times, Ye Qingyu couldn't help but want to laugh, and the sprinkling of sugar they shouted at this moment was naturally not to show affection, but to really sprinkle sugar.
Because the greeting procession was almost in the new house, more than a dozen people began to scatter bamboo baskets full of candy, peanuts, longan, red dates and other things into the crowd.
Regardless of men, women and children, seeing so much sugar and melons and fruits, they all shouted excitedly, and then rushed to pick up candy to eat, after all, they are all auspicious things, and if they pick it up, they can also get a touch of joy.
The children are even happier, squatting on the ground to pick up candy and peanuts are super happy, this is usually a luxury snack, the family is poor, and they can't eat a piece of candy during the New Year.
Some children put a sweet candy cube in their mouths, thinking to themselves that if they could marry every day, then they would have candy every day.
In such a lively atmosphere, the greeting team finally came to the door of the new house.
Xu Jingnan got off the horse, and the firecrackers hanging in front of the door crackled, shocking people's ears and making people feel very festive.
When the firecrackers were finished, Ling Ba handed Xu Jingnan a bow and three arrows, and asked him to shoot three arrows into the sky.
After doing this, Mrs. Wang shouted and asked the groom to lift the door of the sedan chair and welcome the bride out of the sedan chair.
Xu Jingnan's heart thumped to the sedan chair, bent down to open the curtain of the sedan chair, stretched out his hand to Ye Qingyu inside, and softly shouted her name.
Ye Qingyu had already taken off the big stove and put down the hand stove, she stretched out her hand to hold Xu Jingnan's big hand, and the moment she held it, he clenched it hard.
Ye Qingyu's heart instantly became solid and relieved.
And Xu Jingnan held her soft little hand, and the first thought was that her hands were not very cold, and it seemed that the objects he prepared for her were still very useful.
After this thought flashed, Xu Jingnan was full of thoughts that Ye Qingyu really married him, and happy bubbles popped up one by one in his heart.
He led Ye Qingyu out of the sedan chair and whispered to her to be careful, don't trip over the sedan pole.
Ye Qingyu answered in a low voice, and heard a child shouting next to him, the bride is coming out, the bride is beautiful.
The matchmaker next to her came over at this time, took Xu Jingnan's place, said two auspicious words with a smile, and then whispered to Ye Qingyu,
"Little lady, be careful, when you cross the threshold, you will cross the brazier."
In this process, Xu Jingnan couldn't support her, and the matchmaker Wang and the sister-in-law who sent her relatives helped her step by step carefully across the brazier, implying that all unlucky things would be burned, and the husband and wife would become more and more prosperous in the future.
After crossing the brazier, Ye Qingyu was sent to the house next to the new house by Wang Matchmaker and sister-in-law to wait and rest.
The auspicious time of worship is not noon, but around dusk in the afternoon.
According to historical records, those who marry are said to bow at dusk, so they are called married. Therefore, in ancient times, weddings were all in the morning and dusk, and after worshipping the hall, they could be sent directly to the cave room, and then the man entertained the guests.
During this time, the bride will wait for the auspicious day in the house specially packed by the man.
