Chapter 8 Marriage
The efficiency of the Bofu was quite fast, and the next day he sent the chief steward to Zhuangzi to meet with the forest steward, and set the specific matters of the wedding and the entry of the forest steward and his family into good nationality. I also showed the dowry list to Steward Lin, and explained that there was no need for Steward Lin to interfere in all affairs, and even the bride's dowry was bought by Bofu and carried over.
According to the etiquette law, the marriage of the two surnames should first be accepted, asked for a name, Najib, Naji, Nazheng, and an invitation date, and finally they can welcome the marriage, and it will take at least three or two years to go down a set of procedures, but the illness of the fourth young master cannot wait. The chief steward did not shy away from it, and straightened according to the meaning of the Bofu, and the matter was urgent, and he calculated the nearest auspicious day, carried the bride back first, and gave the fourth young master a happy word.
The nearest auspicious day was four days later, January 25.
Lin Shuang's family of four and the little girl Yin'er were taken to a village in Daxing called Zaoerzhuang, before leaving, Mr. Lin and his wife came to see them off, and they didn't dare to kowtow to the Lin steward's family, and they also gave a house of people and gave a few gold and silver.
With the Bofu coming forward, the matter of the Lin Steward's family being registered is very smooth, as long as the Lin family is released, go to the government to register, get the documents, and other things should be arranged by the Chengbo Mansion.
The dowry given by the Chengbo Mansion included 50 acres of fertile land in front of Zaoerzhuang and Zhuangzi, and a slope planted with trees in the west, which was for the forest steward's family to live and live in the future. In addition, there are 100 taels of silver, 10 pieces of cloth, eight-style seafood, three livestock and big fish, tea and fruit stickers, etc. Other gold and silver ornaments, furniture ornaments, etc. will be carried to the palace as a dowry before welcoming the relatives.
The day before the wedding, Bofu arranged for two mothers and four little girls to serve in Zhuangzi.
Lin Shuang didn't have a head yet, there were only three pinches of short hair on her head, Quanfu people symbolically combed a hundred times on the short hair, put a wig on her, covered her with a crown, tied it with ropes on both sides, and inserted gold ornaments, and the weight on her head became heavier, which made Lin Shuang scream.
When the noodles were opened before, the Quanfu people were startled by her, and after only singing one sentence of the opening song, Lin Shuang was pulled by the noodle rope and cried, and the later ceremony had to be done hastily.
Lin Shuang's crying was half pretending to scare people, and half was also sad and sad.
Since coming to ancient times, I am not familiar with life, I don't know anything, I finally got familiar with the people on Dahuai Village, and now I have to be sent to a strange place to Chongxi, although the memory of her previous life has not been fully recovered, she also knows that Chongxi is not a good thing, like Yingcheng Bofu, a noble family, the marriage is arranged so urgently, and the fourth young master is sick and just waiting for her to pass her throat.
After crying a few times, she found that this trick was good, and when she made a fuss, Quanfu people did not dare to put jewelry on their heads again, avoiding the risk of neck breakage.
Everyone in the room laughed, half of them envied Mrs. Chen's blessings, saying compliments, and half of them looked at such a young bride with a novel makeup, and said witty jokes. Mrs. Chen had tears on her face, laughing at the amusement for a while, and feeling uncomfortable that her daughter was about to leave her at a young age.
In the afternoon, Lin Shuang was already dying of hunger, and when she got up early in the morning, she had only eaten half a dry biscuit, and she was hungry and thirsty. Lin Shuang was clamoring to eat, but Mrs. Chen had to coax her on the side, and asked the little girl to bring a bowl of sugar water over, but she only fed her a small spoonful to moisten her throat, afraid that she would not be able to hold back on the sedan chair and make a fool of herself.
When the front was blowing and beating, the team finally arrived.
Lin Shuang was woken up by Mrs. Chen in a daze, and her mothers sorted out her clothes and headdresses. After tidying up, Mrs. Chen and a group of people went forward to greet the guests, and Lin Shuang dozed off in a mother's arms.
Just as he was squinting, Lin Xia came in from the door. Another mother saw Lin Xia and hurriedly stopped him and told him to go out.
Lin Xia broke away from her, ran to Lin Shuang, half-knelt on the ground and took her hand and said, "Niuniu, my brother came to see you." ”
Lin Shuang felt that a large paper bag was stuffed in her sleeve, and she wanted to take it out to see, but Lin Xia grabbed her hand.
Lin Shuang looked up and saw that Lin Xia was wearing a brand-new royal blue silk dress, wearing a small hat with dark stripes inlaid with gold trim, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very good-looking.
Lin Xia winked at her and smiled slyly.
"Brother......
Lin Xia opened his mouth, and before he made a sound, his eyes turned red.
“…… You, don't sleep, the bridegroom is coming. ”
The mother who hugged Lin Shuang smiled and said, "Uncle, it's not the groom who came, it was the third young master in our house who came to pick up the kiss for the fourth young master." You go ahead to see the excitement, and you will have to carry the bride on the sedan chair later. ”
Lin Xia let out a soft "um" before letting go.
"Niuniu, brother, go ahead and take a look."
Lin Shuang nodded, and with this movement, he only felt that his neck had been pressed by the crown, and it was sore and painful.
Because the groom's health is not good, it is the second son of the third master of Yingcheng Bofu who is scheduled to come to pick up the kiss.
Mrs. Chen looked into the hall and saw that everyone was surrounded by a five or six-year-old child, who was wearing a modified red wedding dress and a groom's official hat, which was too large and hung on his forehead, covering the back of his entire head.
Mrs. Chen walked behind Steward Lin, tugged at his sleeve and asked softly, "Didn't you say that the third young master was twelve years old, why didn't he look like it?" ”
Steward Lin secretly waved his hand and said, "The third young master had a stomach trouble in the morning, and he changed the children of relatives to pick up his relatives. ”
Mrs. Chen was speechless for a while: "Whose child is this?" ”
Steward Lin said: "It's Shen Xiucai's sister-in-law." ”
Mrs. Chen was stunned, and couldn't figure out how the son of Shen Xiucai's family could pick up his relatives for the fourth young master of Yingcheng Bofu.
The guests from Bofu laughed and joked about the child, some taught him to ask Shen Xiucai to marry a daughter-in-law after he went back, and some asked him if he wanted to sleep with a new daughter-in-law or a nurse, which made him red-faced, and stood in the hall with his big sleeves silent.
When it was auspicious, my mother took the bride out to give tea to my father, Lin Shuang only knelt, and the tea was held by my mother.
Steward Lin said according to the lines memorized in advance: "Go to Zhier's house, don't forget to be solemn." ”
Mrs. Chen just wanted to say a few words of advice, but her mouth was choked, and her tears couldn't be contained.
Everyone comforted Mrs. Chen again, coaxed Lin Shuang to cover her red hijab, and called Lin Xia to carry her sister on the sedan chair.
Lin Shuang held the paper bag given by Lin Xia in her sleeve, lying on Lin Xia's back, only to feel that there was a lot of coaxing everywhere, the whimpering sound of Mrs. Chen, the comfort of the woman, the laughter of the man pulling his throat, and the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and suona when he went out......
Lin Shuang leaned into Lin Xia's ear and said, "Brother, you have to come to see me often." ”
Lin Xia didn't answer, not knowing if she heard her.
