I ate noodles for breakfast, and when I got married, this bowl of noodles was called wedding noodles.

After breakfast, the pick-up team was ready to go, and when the matchmaker announced that the time had come, they would set off from Su's house to Zhao's house.

"The hour has come, let's go."

As soon as the matchmaker gave the order, the team that had been prepared for a long time left the gate in a uniform manner. There was a tall horse at the doorway, and on one side of the horse stood a festively dressed boy pulling the reins.

When Su Jingtong walked out in a red wedding dress, the little guy shouted happily: "Please get on the horse of the groom-"

Su Jingtong walked to the horse with Yiyan, and then with a handsome movement, he jumped and sat on the horse's back.

In this way, the mighty welcoming procession, under the gaze of everyone, left Qingxi Village.

After the eldest grandfather saw the team walking away, he beckoned everyone to return to the courtyard to rest. In the meantime, it's time to prepare for the noon feast.

The time of worship here is in the evening, and as for the welcoming procession to go so early, it is because the groom official in the woman's family has a task in the past.

On the day of the wedding, both the man and the woman's family will set up a banquet at noon to entertain relatives and neighbors. In the morning, the man's wedding procession arrives at the woman's house, and at noon, the groom and the woman's parents accompany the relatives and guests; Wait until the woman's lunch is over before taking the bride back to the man's house.

This point in time should be stuck in the most appropriate place, and it is best that the bride enters the door just when it is the auspicious time of the zodiac in the church. This depends on the ability of the matchmaker and the honor guard, and a good greeting team will arrange the time properly and will not leave spare time.

At the same time, the noon banquet at the man's house was accompanied by the elders of the family. On this day, whether it is relatives and friends, or neighbors, villagers, will come to the man's house, and the big guys will wait for the evening worship time.

After learning about this time arrangement, he decisively sent someone to the county seat to invite a troupe back.

"It's still a few hours until the evening, so it's hard to ask someone to wait, right?"

Seeing this, the Su family members didn't want to let them break the bank again, and thought about refusing; But before he could say this, he let Youran block back with a word.

After seeing that the elders had no other opinions, he smiled leisurely and followed Qin Haoran to the side to watch the play.

As soon as the opera was sung like this, it was sung until the afternoon.

Because of the importance of the happy hall, when the last play of the afternoon was sung, he leisurely let people settle the account for the troupe.

Xitang was quickly sorted out, and everyone paid attention to the gate at this time, waiting for the return of the welcoming team.

In the evening, everyone finally looked forward to the sound of suona that they had been thinking about for a long time.

A few people glanced at each other happily, and then rushed to the gate in unison. Looking in the direction of the morning walk of the greeting team, I saw Su Jingtong in red clothes from a distance, riding on a tall horse and leading the long team behind him, coming slowly.

"It's here, the bride has arrived."

A few little girls shouted happily towards the courtyard, and soon the leisurely third uncle and aunt came out.

"Light firecrackers!" Su Xiuming saw the team entering, and when he gave an order, the crackling sound of firecrackers was endless.

With the sound of firecrackers, the joy of children and adults, and the joy of suona, the big red sedan chair finally stopped at the gate of the Su family.

Su Jingtong turned over and dismounted, and according to the instructions of the matchmaker, he welcomed the bride out of the sedan door in one step.

After following the couple over the brazier and across the saddle, they finally came to the wedding hall. Directly in front, Su Xiuzhong and his wife on the main seat had been sitting there for a long time.

"The auspicious time has come, worship the church—" The male acquaintance looked at the time and shouted loudly.

Su Jingtong held one end of the big red hydrangea and took the bride to stand in front of the main seat.

"Worship heaven and earth—"

A couple of newcomers slowly turned around and faced the door with the shouts of the acquaintance. Because the bride was covered with a big red hijab on her head, she couldn't tell the direction, so she was helped by the two brides to turn around. Then the two of them bowed together in the direction of the gate.

Seeing that the first worship was completed, Zhike immediately shouted: "The second worship of the high hall—"

Su Jingtong turned around with the bride, stood facing her father and mother, and then bowed deeply.

"Husband and wife worship each other—"

A couple stand facing each other and bow again as instructed.

When the two of them stood up straight, the male acquaintance shouted: "Licheng, send it to the cave room-"

The crowd watching the salute inside and outside the hall all applauded happily after this sound fell. Su Jingtong left the wedding hall with her bride in the midst of everyone's applause and cheers, and then went in the direction of the new house.

"Let's go, let's go around." Shang Moqi excitedly called for the big guy to follow behind Su Jingtong.

After the newlyweds enter the cave room, the adults and elders are not allowed to enter to observe the ceremony. However, peers like leisurely and them, or juniors, can follow up and be lively.

After the matchmaker and the four brides sent the bride into the cave room, even if the task was completed, the next matter was presided over by the female acquaintance.

When the group came in, it happened to be the time to unveil their heads. With the slow lifting of the red hijab, the bride's shy face like a peach blossom was immediately presented in front of everyone.

A few girls covered their mouths and snickered, and Qin Yan dyed the jokes of their boys, which made the bride who had just lifted her hijab blush. Although Su Jingtong behaved normally, his reddened ears betrayed his shyness.

The female acquaintance asked everyone not to make trouble with a smile on her face, and then continued with the next etiquette. She first asked Su Jingtong to sit on the wedding bed with the bride, and called several maidservants who were waiting on the side with trays to the bedside.

The first maid held a small bowl of sugar water in her hand, stepped forward, and the female acquaintance picked it up and handed it to the bride, saying: "The bride drinks a bowl of sugar water, sweet mouth, and life is sweet and sweet from now on."

Zhao Yingru stretched out her hand to take the bowl, took a symbolic sip, and handed it back to the female intellectual.

Zhike took it and put it back in the tray that the maidservant was holding, and then came to the second maidservant and picked up a small plate on the tray with a piece of cooked meat on it.

The female acquaintance put the small plate in front of Su Jingtong and Zhao Yingru, and said: "Husband and wife are in the same prison, and they will share joys and sorrows from now on."

A piece of meat was divided into two, and Su Jingtong and Zhao Yingru ate half of it.

The female knower took back the small plate with satisfaction and put it back into the hands of the second maidservant; Immediately afterwards, he took the things that the third maid was holding in his hand and handed them to Su Jing and the others.

The third maidservant was holding a wine in her hand, and the utensils for the wine were very interesting, which was a small gourd scoop made of a small gourd cut in half; A red rope is tied between the two gourd scoops, and the scoops contain wine.

The female acquaintance handed the small gourd scoop to Su Jingtong and Zhao Yingru respectively, and said: "After drinking the wine, the small life will be long from now on."

Because the red rope between the gourd scoops was not too long, Su Jingtong and Zhao Yingru could only hold it face to face. Because of this, the two young couples who had only met a few times blushed their cheeks.

When a few people saw this, they laughed again. I think it's quite interesting to watch the two of them salute like this.

After drinking the wine, the female acquaintance called the fourth maidservant to her. On the tray she held in her hand was a delicate pair of small scissors, a red thread, and a red bag.

The female acquaintance picked up scissors, cut a handful of hair on the top of Su Jingtong and Zhao Yingru's heads, and then tied them firmly with red threads. Then, put the red-threaded hair in the bag, tie it tightly, and press it under the big red double pillow on the bed.

This step is called knotting, and it symbolizes that the husband and wife will become one from now on and will not fall apart for the rest of their lives.

At this point, all the matters of this marriage are almost completed. The female acquaintance said a lot of auspicious words to the newlyweds, and after receiving the red envelopes handed over by the bride, she left with a few maidservants.

"Oops, it's finally done. Hurry up, we're still waiting for you to go out for a drink! After Shang Moqi left, he opened his mouth and shouted at Su Jingtong, "Today, if you get married, if I don't pour you down, I'm sorry for today's good days." ”

When he said this, the whole room burst into laughter.

Su Jingtong was also bold, stood up and nodded directly. Before going out again, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yingru, then approached her and explained softly: "I went out with them." Leave the sisters here, let them stay with you. Wait a while and ask a few of them to get you something to eat, you don't have to be embarrassed, just come to them if you have anything. ”

Zhao Yingru glanced at him, and nodded shyly after he finished speaking.

Su Jingtong smiled at her, then turned around and followed Qin Yanran, Shang Moqi and a few of them.

After the men all went out, a few people invited everyone they didn't know and didn't know each other out. Regardless of dynasties and generations, the custom of the bride sitting on the wedding bed has always been unchanged. After the bride entered the cave room again, she didn't have to do anything, just sat firmly on the wedding bed and didn't go anywhere. This situation will continue until the bridegroom enters the cave room and the young couple drinks a glass of wine.

"Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Shall I bring you some food? After Su Jingrou saw that everyone around her had left, she walked to the bed and asked her about her freshly baked sister-in-law.

When Zhao Yingru heard Su Jingrou's inquiry, she was slightly stunned. She didn't know much about these people in the Su family, but when she saw the girl in front of her with a gentle smile calling her sister-in-law, she didn't think it was one of the two girls of the Su family, but also one of Su Jingtong's sisters.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingru smiled gently at her, then nodded softly and said, "There is Sister Lao."

After Su Jingrou got the reply, her smile deepened a little, and she replied, "It's okay, sister-in-law is polite."

She turned around and wanted to go out and get some food. didn't take two steps, and let Youran stop him.

"Sister Jingrou doesn't have to be so troublesome, I'll ask Wanyun and Wanxue to go and talk to the kitchen, just send a table of banquets. Let's not go out to eat for a while, just eat with my sister-in-law here, and the sister-in-law of the province eats alone and is strangely lonely. While leisurely holding Su Jingrou's wrist, she smiled and told Wanyun Wanxue to do what she asked.
