Chapter 237: After the Wedding Wine
After the joy of drinking
After drinking a cup, Cheng Huaide poured a cup for Lu Yu first, and then filled the cup in Cheng Huai's hand.
"Mr. Lu, you say, why do we have three drinks?"
Lu Yu smiled and thought, "How do I know I want to drink three cups?" He said: "Today is your big day, Brother Cheng, it stands to reason that I should drink it with you whether it is three cups or thirty cups." It's just that there are a lot of distinguished guests today, so you have to keep your stomach and entertain the guests well. ”
Cheng Huai shook his head and said, "That's not right, I can't keep my stomach today." Mr. Lu, you don't know, this farm, this villa, was almost occupied by Lin Siyao who killed a thousand knives twice, and both times it was Mr. Lu that you drove Lin Siyao away to help me defend this place. If it weren't for Mr. Lu, let alone this farm, even the lives of our brothers would be gone. We, brothers and sisters at the lodge, have to thank you. ”
Cheng Huai's words made Cheng Huai's face a little more discolored.
Lu Yu was thinking that Lin Siyan had been a robber in Jinhua City before, and later became a county magistrate, and it is estimated that he had the idea of beating this farm one after another, if it weren't for himself, Cheng Huai might not really be where he is today. So Lu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Cheng doesn't need to talk about these past things today. Besides, you have settled down on this farm now, and you have worked hard to get it all by hand, so I don't need to thank me. ”
"Thank you, you have to thank you." Cheng Huai drank the second glass of wine up his neck again, and took a picture of Lu Yu from the mouth of the cup.
Lu Yu smiled and drank a second cup with him.
After drinking the second cup, Cheng Huai said: "This third cup is another thing to ask Mr. Lu." ”
Lu Yu was surprised in his heart, and said with a smile: "Please, don't dare, Brother Cheng has any requirements, just ask." ”
Cheng Huai laughed, pointed to Cheng Huaide on the side, and said: "The last time I saw Mr. Lu, I have already said it, I still want to ask Mr. Lu to help me in your village, show my little brother of courage, see if there is a suitable girl's home, and look for him." He also ignored Cheng Huaide, who looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I have repeatedly wanted to ask Mr. Lu to help me be a matchmaker, and I also want to have a relationship with Mr. Lu, so that everyone can communicate more in the future, this is my selfishness, hahaha." After speaking, Cheng Huai drank the third cup dry.
Lu Yu also drank the third cup, and then said: "When I go back, I will definitely leave a heart for Brother Huaide." But today is your own big day, Brother Cheng, or I wish you and your husband and wife a harmonious voice, grow old, and have children and grandchildren in the future. Speaking of this, Lu Yu suddenly thought: "Yes, why didn't you see Cheng Huai's bride." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, hurry up and eat some food, the wine and food are not good today, and I am sluggish." Cheng Huai asked his younger brother to pour himself wine, and went to pay tribute to that Cheng servant.
There were eight people at the main table, and Cheng Huai and everyone drank. Some drank one glass, some drank two or three glasses, and by the time he left the table, he had already drunk a dozen glasses. Lu Yu found that Cheng Huai's alcohol was okay, and after drinking more than a dozen glasses, his face was not red, and he didn't shake in the slightest when he walked.
After Cheng Huai left, the old man under Lu Yu said again: "Mr. Lu, if there is a suitable girl in your village, also help me pay attention, I still have a child in my family, who is nineteen this year, and has not yet married." ”
…
Lu Yu also drank a lot of wine, Cheng Huai finished the eight tables, and the chairman of Lu Yu's side had already drunk a few rounds, and each round was drunk by the other seven people and Lu Yu one by one.
Of course, Lu Yu's amount of alcohol is good, a few catties of wine in his stomach, and he didn't see half a point of alcohol on his face, and several people at the same table were secretly frightened, and they all thought: "This Lu Yu is indeed capable, drinking so much wine, there is nothing to do." ”
After drinking, the people at the same table began to ask Lu Yu about all kinds of "earth-shattering" deeds in the past. Someone asked him how he killed the tiger with his bare hands; Someone asked him what the dragon crocodile looked like, and whether it was fierce or not; Some people even asked Lin Siyao how he was killed. Lu Yu didn't want to mention these things much, but he had to answer, so he had to be perfunctory.
Then, people from other tables also came over to toast Lu Yu and Cheng Messenger. Lu Yu is not good at dealing with this kind of scene, so he relied on his bottomless alcohol and drank them one by one.
So when Cheng Huai came over for the second time, the guests at the eight tables knew that the young man who sat in the chief today was Lu Yu from Yangshan Village, who had great skills and a greater amount of wine.
Cheng Huai came out for the second time, and in addition to Cheng Huaide, there was also a beautiful woman wearing a neon dress and a phoenix crown on her head, which was of course Cheng Huai's bride (don't ask me why the bride didn't wear a xia cloak, I said it nonsense).
When the bride and groom come again, of course, they have to toast the guests, and the first to bear the brunt is Lu Yu.
…
This banquet will not end until the afternoon, and it is needless to say that Cheng Huai and his wife have drunk a lot. But Lu Yu also drank hundreds of cups before and after, and there were seven or eight catties of wine.
If you drink too much alcohol, even if you are not drunk, you will feel that your stomach is full. Lu Yu left the table, found a hidden place to relax, and then came back, and saw Cheng Huai and the bride starting to worship.
Normally, the worship hall is in the morning, when the sedan chair falls at the man's house, and then it begins. Lu Yu didn't know why the newlyweds would visit the church after the banquet was over today. From childhood to adulthood, Lu Yu has seen many people get married, those crop men and women in Yangshan Village, when they get married, the wedding is either long or simple, but the general process is almost the same. The sedan chair enters the door, and the male family plays music to welcome the sedan chair. After the sedan car is stopped, the door of the sedan car is unloaded, and a young girl with five or six years of makeup (commonly known as the "sedan chair lady") welcomes the bride out of the sedan chair, and pulls the bride's sleeves three times with her hand to start the sedan chair. The bride stepped out of the sedan chair door and stepped over a vermilion lacquered wooden "saddle", stepping red felt, and standing on the right side of the wedding hall with the help of the bride.
At this time, when the groom sees the sedan chair entering the door, he will pretend to hide elsewhere, and the bouquet and candle boy will invite (find) it back and stand on the left side. The decoration of the wedding hall is similar to that of each family, and there is a father-in-law who is the main incense, and most of them are served by the groom's grandfather or grandfather. The officiant, the bridegroom, and the bride and groom all perform the salutation. The salute shouts: Go to the temple and pay tribute, play music! The main wisher kneels in front of the incense case, and they all kneel! Incense, two incense, three incense! Prostrate, prostrate, prostrate! The salutant then sings: Ascend, flatten, reset! Kneel, all crispy! Singing: Rise, worship! L, Bye! L, Bye! Sing again: Kneel, all crisp, read the blessing! A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy kneeling on the right side of the Buddha prayer stool to read it (read it in advance, not to make mistakes). And the salute sings: Rise, worship! L, Bye! L, Bye! The whole process is collectively called "three kneeling, nine prostrations, and six prostrations". At the end, the salute is sung: After the salute, quit the class, and send it to the cave room! In the meantime, when the bride and groom are in the church, there is a custom of kneeling in front of the head, saying that whoever kneels in front can control the latter in the future, resulting in a joke that the groom brushes his sleeves and refuses to bow while worshipping.
Cheng Huai and the bride worshipped heaven and earth, bowed to each other, and then bowed to everyone, and then entered the cave room under the guidance of two children holding dragon and phoenix candles.
At this time, the wedding is not over, it is daylight, and before that, the bride and groom have to come back to drink Helang wine with the guests.
…
Later, Lu Yu understood that Cheng Huai's kid was not a good amount of alcohol, but that the water in his cup was all white water, so he could even drink dozens or hundreds of glasses without getting drunk. And Helang wine also has a lot of exquisiteness, so I won't list them one by one here.
It was lively and lively, until the afternoon, some guests left one after another, and Cheng Huai was sent to the door of the villa one by one. Lu Yu was also going back, and Cheng Huai and Cheng Huaide sent Lu Yu to the gate of the villa.
Lu Yu congratulated Cheng Huai a few more times, and then heard Cheng Huai say: "Mr. Lu, there are many people today, I can't entertain you well, wait a few days, and I will visit your village again." ”
"Brother Cheng is polite, wait a few days, I will take the three children in the family to come here to have a look." Lu Yu smiled: "Don't hide it from the two of you, it is estimated that next year, I will also get married." ”
"Oh? Congratulations to Mr. Lu. "Cheng Huai hadn't seen Yan Xi'an and them, and Lu Yu hadn't mentioned it to him.
Lu Yu nodded, glanced at Cheng Huaide, and suddenly moved in his heart, and was about to say something, but he held back.
Before opening the Chushan Villa, Lu Yu went to Dunlin Town first, and he wanted to see how Ah Li was doing.
When he arrived at Lu Ming's house, Lu Yu didn't hear any special sounds, knowing that Ah Li should not have been born yet.
Lu Ming inquired a few words about Cheng Huai's marriage, and later asked Lu Yu what congratulatory gifts he gave when he went over today.
These words made Lu Yu stunned for a moment, then patted his head and shouted: "Alas, don't you say that I forgot, I haven't given a gift yet." ”
"You... Isn't this a drink for nothing? Lu Ming smiled and said: "What, I think that my second child has come out, and he will also hold a full moon wine, brother, you still have a seat, don't forget to give gifts when the time comes." ”
Lu Yu thought to himself: "I'm not just 'drinking a meal of wine for nothing', and I also sit as a chief." But he was embarrassed to say this, so he smiled and said, "Okay, when my little nephew is born, I have to give a big gift." "It stands to reason that Lu Yu is the uncle of Lu Ming's children, and there is no seat to sit on. But Ah Li has no brothers, only sisters, and Lu Ming's situation is a little different, so when their family has a happy event, Lu Yu can really get a seat, as for whether it is the chief or the second or third seat, it is hard to say.
Lu Yu asked Mrs. Zhang again: "Auntie, Ah Li should be about to give birth, right?" ”
"It's coming, just these two days." Mrs. Zhang was happy and worried, and said: "Da Yu, in the past two days, you have worked harder, come to my house more, and help come up with some ideas." She knew that Lu Yu was very capable, and thought to herself that when Ah Li gave birth, if something really happened, Lu Yu would be able to help.
Lu Yu nodded, and said, "Otherwise, I will bring Aunt Yan tomorrow, and she can also help." ”
"That's great, if my mother is free, it's best to invite her to stay at my house for a few days."
