It is said that it is to be done together, but in fact, it is only the most important part of greeting relatives and worshipping heaven and earth. Before the wedding. There are still several steps that each family has to do. Due to the urgency of time, King Wenjun only spoke here, and everyone in the other side was already busy.

Chunying quietly next to the window, watching the people downstairs pack the things for the dowry, pack them with a burden, cover them with red paper, and send them out in turn, secretly counting them in her heart, and she couldn't help but be speechless. Fortunately, more than half of it was given by others, some of them were grateful for their friendship with Lu Yougui, and some of them were for Hu Fei's sake, otherwise this dowry alone would be enough to bankrupt the Lu family, who had a little family background.

The boats borrowed by the merchants, together with those of the Lu family themselves and those borrowed by others, made a total of thirty boats, carrying a full burden of dowry, and sailed along the river to Hu Fei's new house. Whether it was the Hu family or the Lu family, they all wanted to show off, so the fleet did not go along the straight line, but went around most of Suzhou City, and walked through several of the most lively rivers.

This is in trouble. Although this Suzhou is said to have a dense network of rivers. Most of the people live by the water, and the traffic on weekdays is by boats, but as the days go by, the population is dense, and it is inevitable that the river will be blocked, and the width of the river is not as good as in the early years. Now it's spring, and it's a time when water is scarce. If it was just a small boat, thirty boats of medium or higher were launched together, plus the other seven or eight make-up teams, most of the rivers in the city were occupied by these boats, and occasionally they met head-on, and almost did not collide together. Fortunately, the boatmen and boat ladies invited by the Lu family are experienced, and they use the bamboo poles to support each other's hulls, barely staggering, so as to avoid water traffic accidents. But in the evening, I heard that two boats that were delivering makeup had collided, and one of the boats had half of the boat's contents fall into the water, and the people on board were busy salvaging, and finally lost two pairs of red gold bracelets that were full of weight, and I don't know whether they sank to the bottom of the water, or if they were greedy for fishing, whether it was the groom's family or the bride's family, they were very unlucky.

Chunying didn't have time to sigh for other people's homes, so she was busy first. First of all, Mrs. Chengbo came to give her a head, that is, she combed her hair into a bun, indicating that she had become an adult. There are a lot of rules mixed in, such as depending on the time of day. Change the position of your sitting, pray for the blessing of the gods, and so on. Where had Chunying heard of these rules? can only be stiff and at the mercy of others, and she will do what people say.

However, things are a little complicated: the local invited bride naturally acts according to the customs of the south, but whether it is the Hu family or the Lu family, they are all northerners, and they have always lived according to the habits of the north, especially the mother of the road is a person who loves to pay attention to "rules", so when encountering different customs in the north and south, it is inevitable that there will be a dispute. In the end, Mrs. Ying Chengbo came forward and persuaded both sides to take a step back and "unite the north and the south into one", but she didn't expect that the result of the final compromise between them was to make four inconsistencies. Seeing this, Mrs. Ying Chengbo almost couldn't maintain the dignified smile on her face, and she left early after completing the part she was responsible for. As soon as she left, Lu's mother argued with Xi Niang again, and Chun Ying kept getting up and sitting down and was busy for most of the day, she was already so tired that she didn't want to speak at all.

It's been such a busy day. Chunying bathed early in the evening and went to sleep, and the next day at dawn, she was dug up again. She couldn't help but protest: "Didn't you agree yesterday that you won't go out until evening?" I've done everything I need to do now, what are you doing when you get up so early?! ”

Mother Lu glared at her: "When you go out, is it as simple as going out to go shopping?" There is so much to prepare, so get up and wash up! ”

Chunying couldn't help but hold her head and moan, deeply feeling that whether it is modern or ancient, getting married is a tiring thing!

By the time she put on layers of big wedding dresses, combed her hair in a high bun, and put on a heavy gold crown, it was already past noon. She was so hungry that she was dizzy, and whispered to her sister-in-law for a long time before she begged for half a bowl of lotus seed osmanthus rice balls, and barely paddled her stomach. After taking a breath, Mother Lu took a few aunts and aunts from the neighbors into the door, holding a fat powder box in her hand, and somehow got it, she actually put a thick layer of pink and red rouge on her, saying that this was "joyful". Chunying stared at herself in the mirror, whose face was like a frost moon and her lips were like cherries, and she was completely unrecognizable, and she suddenly had the urge to roll her eyes.

So, so, so, finally, the auspicious time has arrived. With the sound of suona at the door, Mother Lu beckoned all the aunts to go out to see the flower boat, but she turned around and twisted her daughter's waist heavily. Chunying was so tired that she drooped her head, and she couldn't help but get such a blow, "ouch". And the tears fell. Mother Lu was still whispering next to her: "Cry quickly!" The louder you cry, the better! As soon as he finished speaking, he began to howl first.

Chun Ying just cried and howled out of the room. There's no way, crying and marrying is the rule, she should have cried, but to be honest, after experiencing it for so many days, she is calm enough not to laugh, and the crying level is still left to external forces.

Hu Fei was wearing a big red wedding dress, with a big red flower ball wrapped around his chest like a fool, and a copycat black gauze hat with gold flowers on his head, standing in the hall. Chunying glanced at him through the big red embroidered saro cover, only to feel that she was probably just as stupid now. Well, that's a rip-off.

The two young people had never experienced such a speechless wedding, so they could only be fiddled with by others, and did all the rituals before they stepped on the wedding boat, blowing all the way, and sailed to the main venue of the wedding.

It was the first time for Suzhou City to hold such a group wedding, and the king of Wenjun was happy and lively, and the prefect wanted to show off, so the procedure of worshipping the hall was scheduled to be carried out in the hall of the government office. Although it is unlucky to put life events in the court where the case is questioned on weekdays. But helplessly, it is the intention of the parents and officials, and everyone has no choice. Fortunately, today's public hall is draped in red and flowers, which is very festive, and there is no such thing as the usual atmosphere of slaughter, but it also makes people happy.

Seven or eight couples stood in three rows, and the parents of each family were also seated, and the Wenjun Wang brothers and sisters were naturally in the first place. The chief catcher of the prefect's yamen stepped forward, intending to serve as a lisheng and sing the salute. When King Wen saw it, his face turned black and he coughed heavily. The prefect of Suzhou shivered, and hurriedly called down the chief catcher with a big scar on his left cheek with a full beard. Let the trembling priests go up, and the wedding can continue.

How can Chunying's mood at the moment be "embarrassed"? TOEFL, she is also a person who has lived in modern society for more than 20 years, what ridiculous things have she not seen? Therefore, he behaved very calmly, at least with no expression on his face - anyway, with a red hijab, no one could see it if he had an expression - the crowd of onlookers compared with other newcomers who were at a loss and anxious, and then looked at Hu Fei and Chunying, who behaved elegantly and smilingly and dignified whether they stood and bowed or turned around and walked, and they all sighed in their hearts: It is really everyone's demeanor! is worthy of being the prince's righteous son and daughter-in-law, who knows what Chunying is thinking at the moment: Hurry up and finish the matter!

Suddenly, she felt that someone was pulling the big red flower ball in her hand, and looked up along the red silk, and winked at her through the red Luo Gai, wasn't it the groom Hu Fei? He smiled at her, tugged at the ribbon in his hand, and gave her a calm look.

Is he reassuring himself? Chunying felt a sweetness in her heart, and Fang Cai's impetuousness was also reduced a little.

Finally, the rituals of worshipping heaven and earth were all completed, and the paper horses were burned, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Next, the procedure of "sending to the cave house" was slightly changed to "sending back to the new house", and each couple was escorted by their own family members and went back to their respective homes by boat.

The people in the prefect's yamen seem to have no ability to organize at all, or they have not thought at all that this kind of thing also needs to be organized. Even the newcomers and their close relatives and elders, as well as the princes, officials and squires who watched the ceremony, plus their own close attendants—due to the limited space, the general attendants were waiting outside the hall—a large group of people added up to more than a hundred, and they all poured out of the hall with a hula sound, what was the situation? King Wenjun's face was completely black, Hu Fei hurriedly beckoned his attendant to whisper, and the man shouted, "Don't mess up!" Come one by one, walk slowly, don't rush! After shouting a few times, the crowd fell silent.

Chunying and Hu Fei were originally in the front row, and they were not people who had the heart to compete for the first, so they fell behind and were the least affected. Patiently waited for the other couples and their families to go out before leaving. Tilt your head and look. A big red embroidered shoe fell on the side of the threshold, with a mandarin duck pattern on it, and I don't know who dropped it. A seven or eight-year-old boy ran over quietly, stretched out his hand and touched the shoes, and some good deeds secretly recorded his appearance, planning to inquire whose bride had lost the embroidered shoes.

Chunying's mouth twitched, and she followed Hu Fei out. By this time it was already dark, lanterns were lit everywhere, and the sound of ships colliding on the edge of the pier was heard again, and I don't know who was shouting to maintain order, and my throat was almost hoarse. Hu Fei rubbed the corners of his forehead and asked Lao Zhang beside him, "Is our boat okay?" Lao Zhang replied in a low voice: "Uncle, don't worry, our family is watching." ”

By the time Chunying sat down steadily in the flower boat shed, it was already half a quarter of an hour later, and Hu Fei also sat down opposite her. Seeing that all the flower boats had left the dock one after another, in good order, Chunying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to herself: "There shouldn't be any more jokes, right?" ”

The prefect of Suzhou saw that all the newcomers had gotten on the flower boat, and he also quietly wiped his sweat, planning to turn around and scold a few masters - it was originally well arranged, why did it happen like this? ! Suddenly, he realized that the scene was too quiet and not festive enough, so he waved his hand to his subordinates and motioned to the other party to call the band to play. The man waved his hand vigorously, and the earth-shattering sound of drums suddenly resounded in the night sky.

The people who had just left and those who had not yet left the dock were all startled, the flower boat was in chaos, Chun Ying was stunned and picked up the scaffolding, because it was close, she could see that the bride on the boat in front of her was so frightened that she dropped half of her hijab, and the groom climbed the groom with a disgraced face, and the groom was also white. On the shore, the prefect's flattering voice sounded: "The newlyweds have returned home, such a wedding is really unprecedented, and the lower officials are really eye-opening, which is all thanks to the blessing of the prince." "Flattering to our emperor Shengming, the people of Jiangnan can enjoy the prosperity of the peaceful clouds.

Taiping your sister! Chunying secretly scolded in her heart, the once-in-a-lifetime wedding was actually made a joke by this unknown official, and she was indignant in her heart. Suddenly, her hand warmed, but it was Hu Fei who held her hand, she calmed down a little, and complained in a low voice: "What's going on with this prefect?" Make a good wedding look like this......"

Hu Fei approached her with a chuckle and said: "Actually, it's nothing, although the scene is a little chaotic, but think about it, let's get married, there is a respected prince to preside over the marriage, and there are parents and officials in the four prefectures and eight counties in the south of the Yangtze River as evidence, as well as the princes of various countries to watch the ceremony, who can compare to us decently?" ”

Chunying thought about it too, and was in a better mood, but she still had some complaints: "But our wedding is about to become a joke, I'm afraid that it will be read for decades!" Such an embarrassing thing will definitely become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, and it will be discussed over and over again.

Hu Fei smiled: "What are you afraid of? We didn't make any mistakes at all, it was others who made jokes, and when people talked about us, they only boasted. Besides, isn't it a good thing for people to remember our wedding for decades? ”

Chunying smiled and glanced at him: "You're in a good mood, whatever bad things come to your mouth, it's all a good thing." ”

"Of course it's a good thing." Hu Fei took her hand and put it in his heart, "I finally married you home, you are my person from now on, what else do I have to complain about?" ”

Chun Ying's face flushed, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't pull it off softly, so she glared at him: "Who said I was your person?" And I will say, you are my man! As soon as he finished speaking, his ears were hot again.

Hu Fei was very happy: "Okay, well, after tonight, I will be completely your person, so you must hold on to me!" ”

Chunying was so ashamed that she wanted to screw him, but suddenly she moved, and the boat sailed.

(I went out to see a friend today, and I came back late, forgive me~~~ I specially wrote the wedding in detail, I hope you don't get annoyed...... ）。.。
