Chapter 365: Sorghum Syrup

The bride was carried on the sedan chair by the Xi Po, and then found the boy in the relatives of the An family, who was the younger brother of An Xien, put on shoes for the bride, and when the firecrackers went off, the sedan chair was raised. Then the prefect and his wife were invited to get in the car and follow behind, and the welcoming team had to return to the Guogong Mansion.

When he came, Nalan Bowei came out of the house and went straight to the government, but when he went back, it was different. According to the rules, the team to welcome relatives should go around the prosperous area, get more popularity, and collect more joy. The Lord Guogong was ingenious and arranged to stop in the square in front of the Drum Tower in the most prosperous place in Changtu Mansion, so that the groom, the bride and the villagers could meet and say a few words, just to appear close to the people.

On the last carriage of the welcoming procession, An Zhifu listened to the report of the subordinate who accompanied him outside the car: "Master, I have already asked people to check it, and there is nothing unusual in the young lady's room." But half of the cake was eaten, and one of the candied fruits was lost on the ground. The young lady hasn't eaten since last night, maybe she was hungry, and she sent someone out to steal food. ”

An Zhifu lifted the curtain and said in a deep voice: "You didn't hear anything at that time? ”

The man bowed his head slightly, and replied, "Master, we really haven't heard anything. ”

Governor An exhaled and waved his hand at his subordinates: "Okay, I know, let's go back." When you two go to the account office and receive a reward of five taels of silver, you will say that I said it. ”

When the man heard this, he bowed down and thanked him, and then stood in place with his head bowed slightly. When the car was far away, he turned back to his home.

Sitting on the other side of the car, the prefect's wife, who didn't hear what was being said outside, hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Say what? ”

An Zhifu stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't worry, Ji En is just stealing food." Ay...... If you feel hungry and have the heart to eat, it's fine. After all, I promised it before, and compared to this long time, I figured it out, and there will be nothing wrong. ”

"If you say that, then I'm relieved." The prefect's wife patted her heart twice and said with a smile, "This child has a hard temper, not at all like a gentle girl, she used to run away from marriage, and now on the day of great joy, she is still worried that she is looking for death and life." Now that I can eat, that is to say that I have accepted my fate, which is a good thing. ”

"Nature is a good thing." An Zhifu nodded, "A girl's family, no matter how much she reads, she still has to get married?" What if you stay in the ocean? After staying in the ocean, she is still the daughter of our An family, and she is still the daughter-in-law of the Nalan family. After all, you have to get married. ”

"When you say that...... the prefect's tears actually fell, "Husband, I feel distressed when you talk like this." This child has been pampered at home since he was a child, and I also baby her tightly, and now she is about to get married, so I can't help it. ”

An Zhifu patted his wife's hand and said with a smile: "The Nalan family is a big family, how can it be bad for Ji En?" What's more, when you sent her to study abroad, you didn't shed tears, and now crying is a bit ridiculous. How far are we two from each other? It's nothing more than half the road of the city. If you miss your daughter, it is convenient to visit you from time to time. This is a day of great joy, don't cry and cry, let the family see it badly. ”

The prefect's wife wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and forced a smile: "You're right, today is a big day, I shouldn't cry." When you look back and ask someone to look at it, it will inevitably be a joke. ”

In the empty field in front of the Drum Tower, Lei came out of a small platform, which was very simple, but it was also surrounded by red silk and tied with flowers, which looked quite like that. Waiting to see the excitement around, this small platform is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, which is called a water leakage.

I heard the sound of suona and gongs and drums from afar, and someone called: "It's coming!" The sedan chair is coming! ”

Huzi stood in the crowd, looked over there, and whispered to Xiao Yue beside him: "Your family's pomp is really big enough, and the Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival is probably not as lively as the wedding in the Guogong Mansion." ”

Xiao Yue picked up the plaster on his face, exposed his covered left eye, crossed his feet and shrunk his neck, and looked at the street: "Where is the Guogong Mansion?" I'm not afraid to scare you to death if I say it, Lord Guogong has eighteen dishes for one meal, and you are not allowed to repeat it for half a month. ”

"Why do I sound so awkward?" Huzi bared his teeth, "I heard that the Queen Mother Lafayette is just such a pomp, don't you be here to brag with me, right?" ”

"I'm talking nonsense to you?" Seeing that the sedan chair was approaching, Xiao Yue hurriedly glued the plaster back again, "Can I do it?" I'm going to brag to you, and I can't get any benefits in my hands, that's so boring. What are you a rich man? What is a royal noble? It's extravagant, you can't even imagine it. ”

"Letter, didn't I give it to you?" Huzi frowned slightly, "Why don't you leave yet?" ”

Xiao Yue smiled bitterly, patted Huzi on the shoulder and pointed around: "You are moving forward so much, I will turn around and go back to the house now?" From above, I was a louse on a bald head. When the crowd disperses in a while, I'll just follow. ”

"That's not right." Huzi brushed Xiao Yue's hand off his shoulder, "It's a big day today, there are a lot of people in your family, don't you need your help to greet you?" ”

"How else can you say that you haven't seen the world?" Xiao Yue grinned, "Although all the dignitaries, dignitaries, squires and landlords under the jurisdiction of Changtu Mansion have arrived, it is not my turn to greet them." Nominally speaking, I am the personal of Xiao Guogong. Needless to say, the old man can kill me and chop me, but if the little prince is unwilling, the old man can't call me. Xiao Guogong is my master, and no one else is either. ”

When Huzi heard this, he only felt uncomfortable. He turned his head sideways and glanced at Xiao Yue, but didn't say anything more.

The sedan chair arrived, and a group of family members from the Gonggong Mansion came out, carrying two large sacks and going up to the small platform. The leader shouted, "Stand forward, stand forward!" On the day of the great joy of our Guogong Mansion and the prefect, for our villagers, come and be happy! ”

After finishing speaking, he opened the mouths of the two sacks, reached out and grabbed them, and sprinkled them under the stage.

Huzi's eyes were quick, he reached out in mid-air, grabbed one with two fingers and took it down, spread it in the palm of his hand to see that it was a small square piece wrapped in glutinous rice paper.

"What's this?" Huzi asked with a frown.

Xiao Yue bent down and picked one up from the ground, tore open the glutinous rice paper, threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sugar, like sugar." The old man specially ordered it to come down, and it was only yesterday that it was ready to be transported to the city. He said that he wanted to rejoice with the people. ”

Huzi tore open the glutinous rice paper and saw that it was a piece of sorghum syrup, which was sugar made from sorghum. Sorghum is a coarse grain, and using this kind of thing to make sugar has a lot of loss, and it is enough for people to eat two or three meals of grain to make a piece of sugar. In ordinary years, this is something that the common people are not willing to spend money to buy, not to mention that now is the time for war, and the food cannot reach the people at all.

"Black, fucking black." Huzi wrapped the piece of candy back again, scolding and grinning, "These bastards, they are really willing!" ”

Xiao Yue's piece of candy was chewed up, and seeing that Huzi didn't eat the candy, he just nodded Huzi's arm with his elbow: "Don't eat it?" Don't eat it for me. ”

Huzi glared at him, and threw the sorghum cake into Xiao Yue's hand angrily. Xiao Yue was stared at by Huzi inexplicably, and wanted to speak, but he didn't say it after all, so he stuffed this piece of candy into his mouth, snorted, and looked at the small platform with his arms in his arms.

At this time, the whole procession had stopped behind the stage, and the drummers had also stopped. Nalan Bowei turned over and dismounted, walked onto the stage, pressed his hand, and the still noisy square slowly quieted down.

Nalambavi didn't rush to speak, but turned around and gestured to the people below. The matchmaker waved her handkerchief and shouted at the top of her voice: "Please bride!" ”

A tall woman walked up to the palanquin, lifted the curtain and hung it on the Ruyi hook, turned around and knelt on the ground, and said, "Please raise the bride." ”

Please ascend, that is, let Ann Jien on her back. In front of her husband's house, the bride's feet are not allowed to touch the ground, even if the two families say that they want to have fun with the people, so that the people of Changtu Mansion can witness it, they can't break the rules. That's why I had to find a woman and carry An Jien to the stage.

There was a subordinate on the stage, and a cushion was placed at Nalambavi's feet, and when the bride arrived, she could only stand on this cushion and could not move the place.

When the woman carried An Xien to the place, Nalan Bowei arched his hands to all sides and spoke: "Fellow villagers and elders, I am Nalan Bowei, who was honored by the emperor as a soldier in Changtu Mansion and became an officer, guarding the peace and well-being of the party. Covered with shade, the order of the two parents, inheriting the words of the matchmaker, today's wedding, it is my luck to be congratulated by the villagers and the elders, and it is the luck of my Nalan family. ”

The words were very polite, but the expression was arrogant. After all, the common people just want to join in the fun, and there is no meaning to congratulate. Another is, what can ordinary people do when they go to congratulate? I can't give a lot of gift money.

"In order to celebrate the wedding, but also to accumulate virtue and do good, and pray for the blessing of my future children of Nalan Bowei," Nalan Bowei waved his hand, "After today's wedding, Nalan family is here, opening a porridge shop for porridge, and those who come will not refuse until they use up a thousand stones of grain!" ”

1,000 stones, which sounds like a lot, but if you really open a warehouse and make porridge, it is estimated that it will not last long. But it's a good thing, now many people can't even eat a decent meal, and the Nalan family puts grain, which is considered a good deed, which can make the people really feel that this big wedding has something to do with themselves. So many onlookers began to applaud.

Immediately afterward, Narambovi said a lot of words. He was originally born in the army, and his wording was a little rough, but it was also in line with the appetite of the people, after all, there were still a few readers, and what he deliberately said was like a notice list, and many people would not understand it.

After a quarter of an hour of talking, Narambovi called for his servants to bring over four more baskets. Why do you need to carry the basket? Because this basket is no longer filled with sorghum syrup, but yellow copper coins! Narambovi picked it up and threw it high towards the densest place where the people were standing. Several subordinates also followed Nalan Bowei's example, and sprinkled copper coins downward one by one. For a while, it was only the sound of copper coins colliding and the noise of the crowd.

"Rejoice! Let the big guys be happy! Hahahaha! Nalambavi stood on the stage and looked down, smiling happily.

When the copper coins were all spilled, Nalan Bowei beckoned and quieted the square again. He coughed deliberately and said with a smile: "Everything that should be said has been said, everything that should be given has been given, we have to ask the villagers to make a way, we are going to worship heaven and earth." ”

Nalan Lang's voice did not fall, only felt a flash of red light on his side, and he subconsciously reached out and grabbed a Xipa, holding a Xipa in his hand. Looking sideways, I gasped - Ann Jien ripped off her hijab! That's not all, Ann Jien actually grabbed a pistol and put the muzzle of the gun on her head!
